Chapter 567: Human Affection

So, where did this cicada get it from?

To put it bluntly, it's not worth mentioning. After killing Changle Zhenren that time, Ren Zhen turned out some valuable treasures from the deceased's clothes, among them, there was a wooden box and a crazy bone recipe together, which contained the Spring and Autumn Cicada.

Ren Zhen learned from the old man's mouth that this cicada was extremely precious, and feeding the poisonous Gu with its corpse could make the Gu worm violently mutate and evolve an unpredictable power, so the Gu cultivators were eager to get the Spring and Autumn Cicada.

So, Ren Zhen carried it with him, hoping to find an opportunity to sell it to the two major tribes, which happened to come in handy tonight.

Although the number of spring and autumn cicadas is small, there are by no means only one or two, and it is not impossible for others to get their hands on them.

Ember Gongzi was emotionally agitated, and it was impossible to guess for no reason that the cicada that fell into Ren Zhen's hands was a relic of his master Changle Zhenren.

Akabane didn't think of this either. After all, when the emperor bloomed, Ren Zhen didn't even reach the Seven Realms, and it was doubtful that he could kill the Changle Zhenren of the Quasi-Eighth Realm, this assumption was too shocking.

Therefore, the cicada that the two fought for was actually very close to them.

At this time, Xuanyuan Dafeng saw the clue and said with a smile: "Nephew, I look at their posture, the cicada in your hand must be very valuable!" Why don't you let me help you and exchange animal skins for wolf poison weeds? ”

He was old-fashioned and warm-hearted, and he didn't want Monta to suffer a big loss, thinking that Ren Zhen had limited chips, so he had to take out the Spring and Autumn Cicada in pain.

Seeing Xuanyuan wind coming in, Chi Yu changed color, "The wolf poison grass is mine, it's up to me to decide!" Now I've changed my mind, I don't change animal skins anymore, I only trade with the Burning Sky Prince! ”

Ember stood up and sneered, "Akabane, you openly repent, do you really want to force me to ask the city lord to decide......"

They didn't know that Bai Jiuxuan was watching from behind the scenes.

Mrs. Bai saw everything in her eyes, and secretly marveled at Ren Zhen's handwriting, and said in her heart, she was worthy of being his heir, and she was really good at stirring up the situation.

She said tentatively: "City Lord, what do you think should be done?" ”

Bai Jiuxuan looked down, his eyes were unwavering, "A group of rough people are arguing, what is there to mix?" Don't meddle, just let them go! ”

As a relict of the Southern Song Dynasty and a famous scholar in the Central Plains, he was forced to live in the barren river, and he never looked down on the barren people in his heart. Tonight, he hid his tracks, just wanted to see the dog-eat-dog liveliness, and was too lazy to show up.

His eyes narrowed slightly, looking at Ren Zhen's small figure, and smiling playfully, "This little guy who came out of thin air is quite interesting, you send someone to keep an eye on him and find out all his information." ”

Ren Zhen's performance just now successfully attracted his attention. Being targeted by him means that Yun Yin's eyeliner began to pay attention to Ren Zhen.

Madame Bai echoed, and her heart was shocked.

It seems that even for her own safety, she has to hand over the broken sword to Ren Zhen and let him leave Arakawa as soon as possible, so as not to be caught by Bai Jiuxuan and reveal her bottom line.

During the auction, the two sides were still deadlocked.

At this time, Ren Zhen spoke leisurely, "If I knew this, I wouldn't have taken out the Spring and Autumn Cicada, so as not to make you quarrel." I don't know how to do Gu arts, for me, cicadas are of little use, as long as I can change some gadgets, I will be content. ”

As he spoke, he looked sideways at Ember, "Ember Boy, I understand your good intentions. However, as you know, I'm alone as the Ministry of the Firmament, so it's useless to ask for so many animal skins. ”

Ember's face froze, and he instantly guessed his mind, and immediately said, "It's okay, if you don't want animal skins, I can still ......"

Ren Zhen raised his hand, interrupted his price increase, and turned to look at the other side, "Elder Chibane, I agree to exchange with you. However, I hope you can understand that there is a human affection in this, and I will ...... in the next auction."

Akabane is also a shrewd person, and he doesn't need to say it explicitly, he has already understood it, and said loudly: "Of course I understand." Don't worry, I will sell other items later, as long as your chips are not too outrageous, I will definitely fulfill you! ”

Ren Zhen didn't choose the preferential conditions of the embers, and took the initiative to choose to trade with Akabane, obviously selling a big favor.

His mind is very clear, his main goal is behind, not the current wolf poison weed, there is no need to offend the seller first. With this favor, he can have some advantages in the back.

The peculiarity of barter is that when multiple buyers bid at the same time, sellers can choose their own buyers, rather than relying purely on empty digital competition, as in currency auctions, where the higher price can be won.

Therefore, for Ren Zhen, trading with Akabane is the wisest.

Ember sat back in his seat and stared at Ren Zhen, his expression was complicated, and he didn't feel a little sleepy, "I thought that you were just terrifying in cultivation, but now it seems that I still underestimate you." ”

Ren Zhen was silent and did not answer.

With his statement, the auction of wolf poison grass finally ended, and there was no suspense about the ownership, and he took it into his bag.

The auction continued, and the atmosphere in the room became delicate. In the later competition, when each tribe bids, they will glance at Ren Zhen intentionally or unintentionally, and observe his attitude first.

They were jealous, afraid that he would jump out coldly like he had just done just now, and sell a treasure that was too valuable to act as a spoiler.

Of course, the same situation did not happen again. Ren Zhen was not interested in those auction items, and in order to prevent others from seeing the flaws, he did not bid on the looted treasures again, and waited for the final target to appear.

The auction lasted for an hour, and at the end, a series of grocery auctions were held, and as the name suggests, a variety of things were sold.

This is the stage that Ren Zhen is waiting for.

According to Madame Bai, Old Man Long has rare medicinal herbs in his hands, and his personality is strange, very lascivious, and he is only interested in beautiful women, and among the groceries in the back, there are several young female slaves, who are charming and charming.

Ren Zhen was sure that Old Man Long was sitting somewhere in the audience at the moment, waiting to see the faces of these female slaves, coveting them. As long as he buys them and comes to him again, he will offer to exchange female slaves without Ren Zhen opening his mouth.

When the time comes, those two medicinal herbs will be at your fingertips.

He waited for another half an hour, and finally, under the escort of a big man, more than a dozen women were dragged to the auction table with heavy iron chains.

They were all wearing sackcloth, perhaps someone did it on purpose, the sackcloth was obviously on the small side, clinging to them, and a lot of holes were torn open, and the spring light leaked out, revealing the graceful carcass inside.

As soon as they came on stage, the men in the audience shouted one after another, hot and excited, but they were not fanatical obsession with beautiful women, but frivolous and arrogant, and their obscene eyes revealed insults to women.

The 800-mile barren river is a primitive society dominated by men. Unless it is a demonic genius like Fu Tiannian, other women are regarded as tools of reproduction, lowly and humble, how can they have status at all.

In particular, after each outbreak of tribal wars, it became commonplace for a large number of women to be captured and sold as slaves, to be exchanged and ravaged by men.

In the lewd coaxing of the audience, Ren Zhen frowned and glanced at Ember imperceptibly. He clearly remembered that Madame White had said that these female slaves were all empty bones.

Due to the matter of Changle Zhenren, a conflict broke out between the Empty Bone and the Red Snake, and finally ended in the defeat of the Empty Bone Division. Just now, Ember and Red Feather shouted, not wanting the Spring and Autumn Cicada to fall into the hands of Red Feather, but with hatred.

If Ren Zhen guessed correctly, next, Ember would definitely make a move and buy those women back, which could be regarded as making up for the shame of the tribe.

Of course, even if they can return to the tribe, they have been reduced to slaves, suffered from the enemy, and are destined to be difficult to return to their former lives.
