Chapter Eighty-Five: Blindfolding
This flying boat is a private commodity that the prefect mixed into the auction.
This flying boat seems to be magical, but in Yujing, the capital of the Great Xia Kingdom, such flying boats are commonplace. It's just that the capital of the Mansion Country is tens of thousands of miles away, and Muzhou and Yuzhou are in the remote area of the Mansion Country, so some ordinary things in the capital still seem a little strange to them.
This flying boat was made by the Architectural State Instrument Bureau, and after it was made, it was exclusively used by the princes and nobles of the Architectural State.
Among the princes and nobles of the Mansion Country, almost every Rao storage ring has such a flying boat in it, which is a very common tool for them to travel.
The flying boat that the prefect of Muzhou Prefecture let him get was after he went to the capital to give a generous gift to the second son of the prince's family, and the prince gave a flying boat that he had not used for a long time to the prefect in order to return the gift.
There are several such flying boats in the prince's place, and the imperial court will distribute many such flying boats to their family every year, so this kind of flying boat is not a precious rarity in the palace, and it is still an old flying boat given back to the prefect of Muzhou Prefecture.
The prefect of Muzhou Mansion himself has such a flying boat, and it is a new flying boat, so after he got the old flying boat given to him by the prince, it was useless, so he had a brainstorm and took it to the auction, hoping to auction it for a good price and make some extra money.
The reserve price given by the prefect was 500,000 taels of silver. This price is already a high price for the prefect.
In order to let the three old men who participated in the auction work hard for themselves, the prefect generously told them that if the bidding price could exceed 500,000 taels, half of the excess would be given to the three of them.
The three elders who were hired by the Muzhou Mansion all felt very scratching their heads after receiving the flying boat given to them by the prefect, because they knew very well that such a flying boat could only be promoted by high-grade spirit stones, but in the entire Muzhou City, the big gangs did not have any spirit stones in their hands, and even if they did, they were used as things for the disciples to improve their exercises, and they would never be so extravagant as to use spirit stones, especially high-grade spirit stones, to promote a flying boat. Therefore, the three elders expected that this flying boat would be difficult to sell, and the possibility of unsuccessful auction was very large.
Who knew that Shao Gongzi of the Fire Cloud Sect wanted to buy this flying boat back, which made the stones hanging in the hearts of the three elders fall into the rain. They don't expect to make any extra money from this flying boat, as long as they can sell it happily, have an explanation from the prefect, and complete the things assigned by the prefect, they will be satisfied. Who knows that in addition to Shao Gongzi, there was also a person killed on the way, although I don't know who this person's surname is and where he lives. But this person also insisted on buying this flying boat, and raised the price of the flying boat to a high price of 700,000 taels at once.
Hearing this number, tears were about to drip from the excited eyes of the three elders, because the high price of 700,000 taels meant that the three of them could get a reward of 200,000 taels.
Of course, they hoped that Shao Gongzi would buy the flying boat. Because in this way, not only can the prefect be satisfied, but at the same time, he can also get over to the sect master Shao of the Huoyun Sect. Therefore, as soon as Shao Gongzi shouted a high price of 700,000 taels, the three elders who participated in the auction immediately prepared to drop the hammer and shouted the deal. Who knew that as soon as they shouted the word "Cheng", the man in black shouted loudly: "I will pay 800,000 taels." ”
As soon as the man in black finished speaking, everyone present looked at him in surprise.
Everyone is very curious, what is the origin of this person, and he is so bold in his shot. Although he couldn't see his face clearly, judging from the firm tone of his words, this person must have not even frowned when he called out a high price of 800,000 taels. The crowd began to talk about who this man in black was, and who was the sect leader or the head of a certain gang.
At this time, the angry Shao Yichen stared at Lin Jun viciously and said, "Where did you come from? I'm going to take off your hood for you right now, and let me see who you really are, provoking this son, and this son will definitely make you die a bad death. ”
After that, Shao Yichen's body exuded bursts of true qi fluctuations.
Bursts of true qi emanated from his body, forming a pale blue circle of light around his body, showing his cultivation in the early stage of qi condensation.
Shao Yichen suddenly jumped up, and was about to launch a surprise attack on Lin Jun, when an elder who was presiding over the auction jumped and blocked in front of Lin Jun in the blink of an eye.
The old man waved his hands, his palms flew up, and a thick true qi emanated from the sleeves of his robe, and soon an unbreakable wall of qi was formed, blocking Shao Yichen's attack from the outside.
After Shao Yichen's all-out blow was neutralized, the elder had an angry face, stroked his beard and said, "Big nephew, your actions are a little out of line. This is an auction hosted by the Muzhou Mansion, and if you fight here, won't you break the rules of the auction? Where will you leave the prefect in doing so? Do you still have the prefect in your eyes?"
A series of questions made Shao Yichen speechless.
I saw that the elder put on the appearance of an elder, and said with an angry face: "The other party shouted a high price, if you want it, then increase the price." If you dare to act recklessly here, the old man will not care about Ling Zun's face, and he will definitely be severely punished. ”
Seeing that his attack was blocked, Shao Yichen pointed at Lin Jun and said angrily: "If it weren't for my uncle to stop you, I would definitely have broken your body into thousands of pieces today." ”
As soon as Shao Yichen's words came out, Lin Jun had already held a piece of lower-grade spirit stone in the palm of his hand, and his body silently used the alchemy technique, and a majestic true qi erupted outward from his palm, blowing the black robe on his body.
This kind of true qi had a strong shocking power, and waves of qi spread outward from Lin Jun's body. This is the subtlety of alchemy, which can freely control the energy in the spar or spirit stone.
Seeing the majestic aura emanating from Lin Jun's body, not only everyone present was shocked on the spot, but even Shao Yichen opened his mouth wide in shock, and the pile of arrogant words he was about to utter were all piled up behind his throat, and then swallowed hard. Because he knew that the other party's cultivation was far above him, and the other party was at least the cultivation of the late stage of Qi Condensation, and if the master of the late stage of Qi Condensation wanted to kill him, a person in the early stage of Qi Condensation, it would be as easy as a hand.
