Chapter Seventy-Four: The Homecoming Stone
"This is what you took me to see today?" Wu Lingqi couldn't help but have a black line on his face when he saw the things behind the red cloth.
"yes, what's wrong, don't like it?" Zhou Yunqi didn't seem to notice his strangeness at all.
"It's not that I don't like it...... It's just this thing......"
Zhou Yunqi turned his head to him and said, "You can listen to the introduction first." ”
Wu Lingqi pursed his lips and muttered, "No matter how good it is, I can't compete in front of everyone with this thing." ”
I saw that after the red cloth was torn off, a huge stone slab appeared in front of everyone's eyes, although this green smoke market has an excellent reputation, but this thing made everyone a little confused.
Because this is not a magic weapon at all, nor is it a refining material, it is just a stone slab, ordinary, black and black, just like the stone used by the old lady Wang next door to press the jar when she pickled pickles.
Just when the audience was chattering, Ni Meiya on the stage picked up the auction hammer and knocked it hard, and said, "Qingyanlou has never done anything to deceive and blackmail, since this thing can appear here, it naturally has its value, please listen to my explanation." ”
She paused, didn't speak for a while, and gave a look to the two strong men who had just gone down, and they walked up to the stage again, both holding an axe in their hands, and the blue light flashing on the axe seemed to be not ordinary.
I saw them come to the stone slab and shout loudly, pick up the giant axe and smash it upward, "bang" two loud sounds, sparks splashed, the axe shattered in response, but the stone slab was unscathed.
The two men walked off the stage with the handle of the axe, and everyone was curious about the solidity of the stone slab.
"As you can see, these two axes are made of stainless steel, and they have been cast by professionals, and they are not ordinary axes, and the bearers of the axes are also strong, and we have not cheated in the whole process. She paused again and continued, "But if this thing is only sturdy, it is not a treasure, and it will not be auctioned in the Qingyan Building, and its peculiarity is ......"
At this point, she was silent again and nodded to the man next to her.
After the man got the order, he exuded a momentum all over his body, and everyone in the audience was not a mediocre talent, but from this momentum, he could feel that this person was a mid-stage cultivation of the foundation.
The man walked to the slab and reached out to grab it, and the slab that had been bombarded by the giant axe but was not damaged in the slightest was actually caught.
The man held the stone he grabbed and showed it to everyone in the audience, only to see that the stone was hidden with gold dust, and it was also full of good aura.
The man grabbed the stone into powder, and a strange thing happened, the scattered powder did not fall to the ground, but flew back to the stone slab in a flash, and in a moment's effort, the stone slab that had been caught was restored to its original state.
After the man finished his performance, he stepped back and stood aside again, and Ni Maya stepped forward and said, "I wonder if any of today's guests have friends who are familiar with the treasures of spirit stones, and if so, they must have understood what this thing is." ”
She looked around, saw that everyone was puzzled, and smiled, "Then I won't talk nonsense, this will tell you the answer, this thing is a homecoming stone that can only be generated in tens of thousands of years in the golden earth veins full of spiritual energy, ranking seventh among the top ten strange stones in the world, and it can be said to be the best material that can be encountered but not sought." Although it may seem unremarkable on its own, it is an excellent material for refining high-grade magic artifacts in the hands of skilled casters. The extraordinary thing about this thing is that if the other party attacks it in a hostile way, then it will become very strong, and if it is made into a magic weapon, it can not only withstand the soul refining contract, but also follow the master's cultivation to grow into a superb magic weapon. If it was used by the earth monks in the foundation building period to make a shield, then I am afraid that it would be difficult to destroy it without condensation in the later stage of cultivation. ”
Speaking of which, Wu Lingqi finally understood what Zhou Yunqi's purpose was for bringing him here.
"It's really suitable for me to use, but if the opponent's attack is not hostile, it won't be useless......"
Zhou Yunqi smiled, "How can the two of them not be hostile in the duel, even if they fight each other, at most they can only do it without killing intent." Besides, this thing is the seventh-ranked strange stone, and it is sensitive to the detection of aura, so why is it so easy to deceive. The reason why the man was able to grab a piece just now was because he was a spiritual cultivator, and he used at least four layers of barriers to his consciousness to avoid the perception of the spirit stone. ”
"By the way, this spirit stone is indeed wonderful, and presumably its self-healing function is the reason why it is called the Homecoming Stone. Wu Lingqi said.
"That's right, once this thing is formed, once it is destroyed, it will repair itself, and the fragments will be repaired quickly if they are around, and if the fragments are completely damaged, it can also absorb the earth elements between heaven and earth and repair itself, but it will take a long time. ”
Sure enough, Ni Maya then explained why it was called the Homecoming Stone, which was exactly the same as what Zhou Yunqi said.
"Now that everyone has understood the value of the Homecoming Stone, then we will officially start bidding, and the reserve price is 30,000 gold, start!"
There was a sigh of embarrassment from the audience, 30,000 gold! This is a random amount that can be taken casually.
"Thirty thousand!" Wu Lingqi also shouted.
The two of them only earned more than 10,000 yuan from a year of hard work in the Strange Affairs Building, of course, it was mainly Zhou Yunqi's alchemy, and he was at most a starter.
"It really went over my budget. Zhou Yunqi frowned.
"What should I do, or forget it, I still have a Xuanwu shield to use, and it's not bad for this one. Wu Lingqi said.
"It's okay, I didn't expect to be able to take this thing with our financial resources. After Zhou Yunqi finished speaking, he turned out a talisman out of nowhere, lit it with fire, turned into a blue butterfly, flapped its wings in the air a few times, and disappeared.
"...... this?"
"The first high-grade item," Zhou Yunqi said lightly.
As soon as he said this, Wu Lingqi immediately understood what he meant, when the nineteenth sister agreed to exchange three high-grade and one superb in exchange for a netting vegetarian pill, his move must have been to inform them to buy this thing.
"Isn't this a bit of a waste, after all, this homecoming stone is only 30,000 yuan. Wu Lingqi asked.
"You also said that it is the starting price, and besides, this thing is more useful to you than other items, and instead of spending a lot of money on a fancy but ill-fitting shoe, it is better to pick up comfortable shoes from the side of the road, right? ”
"The truth is right, but the example is too disgusting......" Wu Lingqi laughed.
Zhou Yunqi burst out laughing.
After a while, the price of the homecoming stone was indeed raised to more than 60,000, and some people continued to bid.
Just when the price just exceeded 80,000, a blue butterfly appeared in front of the two, Zhou Yunqi raised his hand to let it fall in the palm of his hand, and the butterfly flapped its wings a few times and turned into white paper, which read, "There are three more."
Wu Lingqi didn't speak after seeing it, and lay back in his chair to continue the price war in the stands, after all, no matter how much money he paid at this time, he didn't pay it, so he was naturally calm.
Despite this, the final transaction price of the Homecoming Stone also made his palms sweat a little, 180,000!
Hehehehehehehe...... , this was Wu Lingqi's state of mind at that time.
After the Homecoming Stone was sold, Zhou Yunqi stood up and said, "Let's go, let's quickly take the lot, so that the head of the family and the master of Wang Tang can refine the shield for you." ”
Although Zhou Yunqi didn't shoot anything, Cherry also understood some things from the previous conversation between the two, although this situation was rare but not impossible, and sent the two to the hall of Qingyanlou, and said, "I look forward to the two of you coming next time, as long as you talk to the black shadow, I will appear at any time." So, walk slowly. With that, Cherry bowed deeply and walked into the building.
"Let's go, go to Tzu Chi Hall. Zhou Yunqi said.
The two walked out of the Qingyan Building and walked towards the Tzu Chi Hall on the corner, and as soon as they entered the store, the shopkeeper Su greeted them and said, "Miss commanded, if you come and let me take you into the back hall, please come with me." ”
Walking to the door last time, Wu Lingqi stopped there and stopped moving.
"Please come along, since Fang Gongzi is already a guest of honor, his senior brother doesn't have to be taboo. Shopkeeper Su said.
Wu Lingqi glanced at Zhou Yunqi after hearing this, meaning, sure enough, their identities have been investigated.
As soon as the door closed, Wu Lingqi felt that there were actually two different places inside and outside the door.
They are all cultivators, and they are very sensitive to the changes in the aura between heaven and earth.
Although everything in the green smoke market seems to be real, in fact, there are flowers and trees but there is no life. And here the flowers are in full bloom, and the pavilions and pools are full of vitality.
The two followed Shopkeeper Su to the attic where they had last seen the nineteenth sister.
"Please sit down for a moment, and I'll go and call my young lady." With that, Shopkeeper Su exited the attic and left them here.
Wu Lingqi looked at the surrounding scenery and said, "Have you investigated this Tzu Chi Hall?"
"Well, I knew before I came that although Tzu Chi Tang is not a big pharmacy, it has been operating for more than ten generations, and it is commendable that as businessmen, although they aim for profit, they never use shoddy products in the transaction process, and it can be said that they have a strict family style and a reliable conscience. ”
Before Wu Lingqi could answer, a woman's voice came from behind the curtain.
"As a cultivator, Fang Gongzi is not only an extraordinary cultivator, but also a good hand at alchemy, and even knows so much about all the mundane things in the world, which really makes my little sister admire. ”
The voice fell, the curtain was lifted, and the nineteenth sister walked out from behind.
Different from last time, this time she was dressed in palace clothes, and she also wore a few delicate hairpins on her head, her face was red, and she came before she was close to her senses, smiling and speaking lightly, beautiful and generous.
The two stood up, and Zhou Yunqi smiled and said, "Nineteen girls are fine." This is my senior brother Wu Lingqi, senior brother Wu, and this is the owner of this Qingyanji Tzu Chi Hall, the nineteen sisters, the nineteen girls."
Wu Lingqi and the nineteenth sister said hello to each other, and they knew each other.
