Volume 1 Loren Chapter 81 The Auction (Part II)
Luxi sat up straight excitedly, her eyes seemed to shine, and her saliva was about to flow out.
"You..." Forrest Gump shook his head with a wry smile and said to Xiu Zhe, "You go take a bath first." ā
Xiu Zhe raised his arm and sniffed it, and sure enough, his clothes smelled a little.
"Xiao Li, you should also go wash first." Luxi waved her hand and continued to slump on the couch, looking comfortable.
Xiu Zhe and Yong Shili walked into different bathrooms to rinse their bodies, and the facilities here were extremely complete, even better than the conditions in the academy.
After taking a shower, the two put their clothes in the washing machine and began to wash them, wearing bathrobes, drinking thirst-quenching juice in the living room, chatting.
"Yong Shili, you don't seem to be far from the Awakened, right?" Xiu Zhe asked softly, although the two of them were just talking in the forest, Xiu Zhe could also feel that a genius like Yong Shili was not far from the awakened person that countless cultivators dreamed of.
Yong Shili smiled slightly, I have to say that Yong Shili is really beautiful, there is a kind of swan-like nobility and charm between her smile.
"Soon, at least a year or more than half a year, I will officially step into that realm, and then I will dump you again~" Yong Shili's silver bell-like laughter made Xiu Zhe also show a smile, and he still looked forward to Yong Shili being stronger than himself in his heart.
"I don't know what happened to Liang Yue? With his talent, his progress won't be slow, right? Xiu Zhe recalled what the three of them had experienced together, and there was a hint of yearning in his eyes, at that time, they only thought about pressing each other, until the three became good friends.
Yong Shili's smile converged, and a pair of willow eyebrows frowned slightly: "I always feel that Liang Yue was weird before he seized the Ten Leaves and Five Poisonous Herbs in Sauta's hands, he fought with me after he came out of the customs, and his state was not quite right at that time." ā
"The path Liang Yue is going to take is different from the path pursued by Sodros and our Four Sword Saints, he is pursuing sword intent instead of swordsmanship." After a simple rinse, Forrest Gump, who was wearing a bathrobe, walked out of the bathroom, sat on the sofa, took out a jar of daughter red, and took out two wine glasses to fill them.
"Sword intent? Master, what is sword intent? Xiu Zhe asked a little confused.
Forrest Gump's left eyes narrowed slightly: "What is sword intent?" Even I don't quite understand, but I know that Liang Yue is no longer limited to the exquisiteness and power of his moves, the weapons we use are all made of rare ores, so that we can unscrupulously inject sword energy into the blade, but Liang Yue abandoned these things outside his body and chose to use tree branches or ordinary wooden swords to start cultivating. ā
"How can the tree branches withstand the sword qi in our bodies?" Xiu Zhe was even more puzzled, as Liang Yue's friend, he was actually worried that Liang Yue had wasted too much time on the detour.
Forrest Gump shrugged his shoulders, drank the amber and platinum-colored daughter red in the cup, poured another cup and said, "Even Sodros didn't interfere with Liang Yue's path, why are you in a hurry here?" Xiu Zhe, your current task is to combine my skills with Luxi's skills to create a new realm, and Luxie and I are also cultivating you in this direction. ā
Xiu Zhe nodded solemnly, and Lu Xi walked out of the bathroom with a towel to wipe his wet hair at this time, and said angrily: "Cultivation and cultivation, you know cultivation!" This time I came out to travel to the mainland to let Xiao Zhe have a long insight, how can he talk about cultivation as soon as he speaks? ā
"This age is the golden time for cultivation, and in another twenty years, the height that everyone can reach will be fixed, how can it be easily wasted?" Forrest Gump Zuo will never regress in this matter, Xiu Zhe's future achievements will definitely surpass their Four Sword Saints and even Sodros, he can't allow such a good seedling to stop because he enjoys the flowers outside.
Looking at Yong Shili hiding her mouth and snickering, Forrest Gump also said sternly to her: "Don't laugh, that old man from GSD handed you over to me, if you don't become an awakened person in a year, GSD will take you away." ā
Yong Shili was slightly startled, she was afraid that the old man of GSD took herself away from Xiu Zhe, it was too boring to practice with GSD, Yong Shili never wanted to experience it again, so she hurriedly stuck out her tongue, closed her smile, closed her eyes, and began to meditate.
Luxie came to Forrest Gump's side with a big grin, a pair of beautiful legs without fat were exposed and sat on the coffee table to drink his daughter red, two bowls of belly Luxie wanted to have two more bowls but was stopped by Forrest Gump, he said that if Luxi was allowed to drink two bowls, he could only drink two bowls.
In this regard, Luxi could only pout his lips and ignore it a little angrily, Forrest Gump left crossed his knees and began to meditate, and a cultivator like Forrest Gump Zuo naturally did not waste time, and the four of them meditated in the living room until the next morning.
When the first ray of sunlight shone into the living room, Forrest Gump opened his eyes and went to the appreciation room to go to the shelf to put the scroll of the thunder dragon out of the sea on the shelf, Luxie immediately opened his eyes after Forrest Gump left, patted Xiu Zhe and said, "Okay, that guy is gone, you guys should rest for a while." ā
Hearing Lu Xi say this, Yong Shili naturally gave up and continued to meditate, but Xiu Zhe did not move at all, still closed his eyes, and practiced swordsmanship in the illusion created by Kazan, he was not like Yong Shili who could be so powerful in casual cultivation, so he naturally had to hurry up.
Seeing this, Yong Shili also sighed secretly and slandered Xiu Zhe for being a wood, and Lu Xi chuckled: "Xiao Li, let's go to the market after you change your clothes?" ā
"Okay!" Yong Shili didn't want to sit here all the time watching Xiu Zhe cultivate, while Lu Xi thought about running out and having a drink or two.
The second daughter changed her clothes and hurriedly left the room and ran to the market, until noon Forrest Gump came back, the two of them had not come back, seeing that only Xiu Zhe was left in the room to meditate and cultivate Forrest Gump sighed, he was not worried that Lu Kexi and Yong Shili would encounter any trouble, it would be good if Lu Kexi's strength did not kill people. He sighed that these two people obviously had excellent talents, but they had no intention of practicing swords.
"VIP, I'm here to deliver the lunch prepared by the auction house for a few people, may I ask anyone?" A soft female voice came from outside the door, accompanied by a gentle knock on the door.
Forrest Gump left the door open, this girl is still the girl who leads the way for everyone, Forrest Gump's face is paralyzed, there is no expression on his face, he just nodded sideways and motioned for the girl to enter the house.
The girl pushed the trolley into the room, lifted the iron lid on each dish and brought the steaming meal to the coffee table, the girl had to look at Xiu Zhe for each dish, and Xiu Zhe kept his eyes closed and fought with Kazan in the illusion, and had no time to care about other things in the outside world.
After the girl set the meal, she bowed slightly to Forrest Gump, pushed the cart and left the room, closing the door.
"Xiuzhe, stop for a while, and you can continue after eating." Forrest Gump knew that Xiu Zhe was practicing swordsmanship with Kazan in the illusion, and he also hoped that Luxi's ghost hand would be able to be cured after the tacit understanding between Kazan and Xiu Zhe was higher.
Xiu Zhe opened his eyes and took a deep breath to calm the anger in his heart, after so long, he still couldn't make a move in Kazan's hands!
All he can do now is 'die' in the illusion, which is not so ugly, which makes Xiu Zhe extremely uncomfortable, but his only advantage is that the more frustrated he becomes, the more courageous he becomes, and he will never admit defeat, and he vows to take a move in Kazan's hands.
Eating a big bite of food, Xiu Zhe chewed the food in his mouth hard, as if he wanted to spread anger on the rice, and after eating, Xiu Zhe immediately closed his eyes and continued to fight with Kazan in the illusion.
It wasn't until the night fell that Xiu Zhe's spiritual power had been exhausted and he had to stop his cultivation, and at this time, Lu Kexi, who was slightly drunk with a hint of ruddy on his face, also hugged Yong Shili back to the room.
"You're drinking again?" Forrest Gump could only shake his head at this, he couldn't control Luxi's drinking, and he wasn't qualified to care.
Luxi lay on the sofa with a big grin and burped: "Don't worry, I didn't let Xiao Li drink it, the wine on that wine stall tastes really good, and the wine on the West Coast is Bihutton Marlie." ā
Forrest Gump nodded, Luxi seems to be quite sensible, Yong Shili is just a child, if Luxi abducts her to drink, then Forrest Gump Zuo will really turn his face with her.
"Tomorrow the auction will begin, you guys rest early tonight, and when we're done shopping for the items we need along the way, we'll set off in search of Arrogance." Forrest Gump took out the photo and documents that Kony handed him and continued: "I have already contacted Shalan's side, and she will be directly teleported to us through the magic array to fight side by side, and this time I must kill Arrogance!" ā
"Master, where is the arrogant lair?" Xiu Zhe asked.
"Ten Thousand Years of Snow Mountain." Forrest Gump looked left at the paperwork and said softly.
Luxi immediately came to his senses and said, "Then shouldn't we also contact the Bantu people who live there?" ā
"Less, I don't know your little abacus yet? You're definitely going to want to drink their mare's milk! Forrest Gump said with a cold face.
Luxi's mind was guessed and suddenly deflated, and Forrest Gump Zuo said with a smile on his face when he saw this: "I also contacted Buwanga for this operation, we can go to the Bantu people for a few days first." ā
Xiu Zhe was shocked, although Buwanga's name was not as loud as Forrest Gump, he was also one of the Four Sword Saints, according to legend, the bladeless blunt weapon in his hand was wielded more powerful than any weapon that opened the blade, and the viscera of the contaminated person would be shattered by the blunt weapon, if there was Buwanga's help, then this operation would be easier.
Yong Shili was also very happy, she had long wanted to see the white snow in the 10,000-year-old snow-capped mountains, where it was said that the shamans there had magical powers that could make people's dreams come true.
Luxie was even more excited, and her mind kept coming to mind the mare's milk wine made by the Renos.
After chatting for a while, the four of them returned to their respective rooms and slept slowly, recuperating their energy and preparing to leave for the Ten Thousand Years Snow Mountain after participating in the auction tomorrow.
Xiu Zhe felt that he had fallen asleep not long after lying down, and then woke up.
"Biyin..."Xiu Zhe straightened up and gasped, the sweat on his forehead dripping on the silk silkworm quilt, he dreamed of Luo Biyin being killed by Harris again.
Tucking the long hair on his forehead back to his head, Xiu Zhe's breathing gradually stabilized and looked up at the clock hanging on the wall, it was only three o'clock in the morning, and he had only slept for five hours.
Putting the dried black robe on his body, Xiu Zhe came to the floor-to-ceiling window, looked out at the street where a carriage occasionally drove by, opened the window, the unique freshness of the west coast and a slight hint of sea flavor blew Xiu Zhe's face, his long hair fluttered in the wind, Xiu Zhe's eyes became deeper and deeper, as if immersed in the memories of the past and Luo Biyin.
"Biyin, don't worry, my current strength is not enough to personally avenge you, but I believe that one day, I will personally destroy the Witch Sect, pull out the master behind those few miscellaneous pieces, and let him accept the baptism of hell fire forever." Xiu Zhe's fists clenched unconsciously, but there was no trace of emotion in his eyes, calm like water.
In the following time, Xiu Zhe did not go to sleep again, but meditated in the room, until seven o'clock in the morning, Xiu Zhe slowly opened his eyes and walked out of the room to eat a mouthful of breakfast, everyone ate a bite of breakfast in a hurry, and then cleaned up and left the room to go to the auction venue.
Led by a special person, the four of them came to the VIP room, Forrest Gump put the giant sword on the sofa and sat down overlooking the auction hall diagonally below, the ordinary seats below were enough for tens of thousands, and everyone had strange masks on their faces, which was to prevent others from detecting, so that the identity of each person under the auction could not be confirmed.
People in VIP rooms don't need it, because the outside world can't see it with the naked eye, let alone detect it.
Xiu Zhe saw the bidder next to Forrest Gump's left and right hands, with four different buttons on it, ten, hundred, thousand, ten thousand, and one hundred thousand, and every price increase here is based on gold coins, Xiu Zhe couldn't help but be a little shocked after understanding the rules, and the price increase buttons of 100,000 gold coins mean that the auction here is definitely not ordinary.
Moreover, every auction item sold out of the auction house will take 10% of the interest, and I don't know how rich the owner of the auction house should be under such huge profits.
When the hour hand of the clock hanging on the ceremonial table pointed to 'eight', and the minute hand and the second hand coincided at 'twelve', a bell rang throughout the auction hall, and a middle-aged man dressed in a very formal dress walked up to the podium with a megaphone in the crisp and unobtrusive bell.
"Thank you for coming to this auction, there must be a lot of people who are rushing for some extremely rare items, I hope everyone can return with a full load, I won't say much nonsense here, let's start!"
The middle-aged man smiled slightly and beckoned to the audience, and a tightly sealed scroll was carefully placed on the auction shelf in front of the middle-aged man.
"Lei Long went out to sea to copy the scroll, only for one person to read once, presumably among the guests here there are also many martial artists who cultivate their minds, this volume is the famous skill of Lin Jun, the dean of the Imperial Sword Academy, and it is also the unpassed skill of the Void Motherland. After the review of our appraiser, the seal of the King of the Void Motherland on the scroll is enough to prove that the source of this scroll is absolutely clean. ā
There was a commotion at the auction seat, everyone knew how sharp and powerful the thunder dragon's move to the sea was, even if it was unimaginably powerful just by practicing a shelf, and it was extremely majestic, just thinking about the days when he stood on the top of the thunder dragon's head and traveled above the nine heavens made people yearn for it.
The host smiled slightly and continued: "But I can't just talk about the advantages of this copy and ignore the disadvantages, this copy cannot be imitated, it can only be practiced, and after practice, it is impossible to redraw an identical copy of the same copy. As the first item to be auctioned, we quoted its reserve price at 90,000 gold coins. ā
As soon as the words fell, someone called the price, "110,000, VIP No. 8735 asked for 110,000." ā
Forrest Gump Zuo ate the grapes placed on the table in the VIP room and smiled slightly, the qigong masters who cultivated Nian Qi had few attack methods, and the thunder dragon going to sea could be regarded as a powerful killing move that was currently more cherished by the Void Motherland, and 110,000 was too little.
Just as Forrest Gump thought, in just two minutes, this scroll had already increased to 200,000, and it was impossible to stop without 300,000 gold coins in this fight.
"Four hundred and fifty thousand! The guests in the No. 7 VIP room bid 450,000! The host exclaimed with a high expression, he knew that the person who auctioned each VIP room was the real big money owner, and only people like them could do this way of increasing the price of 100,000 yuan.
Xiu Zhe's heart trembled, just one move is worth 450,000 gold coins? If this money is put into a small village of about 100 people, they will not be able to eat it for a lifetime.
"Forty-fifty-thousand, forty-fifty-thousand, twice... Four hundred and fifty thousand three times! The host deliberately made a long note to make this scroll sell higher, but unfortunately no one continued to follow the price, 450,000 is still too much for people in ordinary auction seats.
The hammer settled, and the host said with a smile: "Congratulations to the guests of VIP Room No. 7 for going to sea." ā
The two girls on the ceremonial platform carefully picked up the scroll and walked down, and the subsequent auction items were all armor, swords and other items, which were already ordinary for the thunder dragon to go to sea to copy the scroll, and Forrest Gump only auctioned off some high-quality healing medicines, and this operation could not be without anything less medicines.
When a high-quality giant sword was auctioned, the host smiled and said, "The next auction item is the finale of this auction, and most of the guests who come here must also come for this thing." ā
Several strong men carried a large box to the stage and put the box on the ground, the host walked over with a smile on his face and opened the box, and the blood-red stone was displayed in front of everyone, and the strange lines on the stone were faintly shining.
Forrest Gump stood up with a left and stared at the stone on the platform, and Luxi also exclaimed with a look of surprise: "Could this be ......?"
The host smiled and explained: "The meteorite from outside the territory, this meteorite can be regarded as the best quality meteorite on the shelves of our auction house so far, if you use this meteorite to make a sword, I am afraid it can be called the first sword in the world!" The reserve price is 120,000! ā
Forrest Gump didn't want to press the 100,000 button directly, but before the host could announce that the bidder in the other VIP room had increased the price by another 100,000, the price of the stone suddenly became 320,000 to turn away some people who wanted to intervene, and they didn't have so much money in their accounts to bid.
Forrest Gump swallowed his left and frothed at the mouth, the frenzy in his eyes faded, adhering to the principle of saving if he can, pressing the 50,000 price increase button, although he has a lot of money in his account, enough to squander, but he doesn't want to be wronged, although this meteorite is extremely precious, it will never exceed 600,000 gold coins.
