At the end of the hour-long lunch time, Hongling walked up to the high platform again.

"The next item we are going to auction is a piece of spirit wood. As he spoke, he took the jade plate from the maid's hand.

Lifting the red cloth on it, a strange piece of wood with a whole body of turquoise appeared in the eyes of everyone.

I only heard Hongling continue: "The origin of this wood is mysterious, the three forces of the Crane Spirit Sect, the Chu family, and the backing mountain academy have many talents, and they have consulted many classics, but no one can recognize this wood. The only thing that is certain is that the spirit wood contains a very rich wood attribute aura, and if it is absorbed by a wood attribute cultivator, the cultivation will definitely rise sharply. This section of the unknown spirit wood, the reserve price is twenty spirit stones, start now..."

"Wait a minute. Before the word Hongling could say the word auction, it was interrupted by a white-haired old man at a round table.

The old man slowly opened his closed eyes, his old appearance, and his rickety body looked like he was about to die, but his eyes were shining. Looking at the spirit wood in Hongling's hand on the stage with blazing eyes, he said slowly: "Little girl, there are many disciples of the three major forces, and there will be no fewer cultivators of the wood attribute, right?" So, tell me, can anyone absorb the slightest spiritual energy from this 'Cangbi Spirit Wood'?"

"Does Elder Geng recognize this wood?" Hongling asked rhetorically.

"Answer me!" Geng Lao looked at him and whispered to Hongling, and at the same time, an invisible momentum pressed towards Hongling.

Hongling took a few steps back, remembered some rumors about this old man, his face turned pale, and he looked at the old man with fear, and said in a trembling voice: "Back to Elder Geng, there are a total of nine wood attribute cultivators in the three major forces, and none of them can absorb the slightest aura from the spirit wood. ”

After hearing this, Geng Lao slowly closed his eyes and ignored other things.

Hongling gritted her teeth and shouted, "Elder Geng, please tell the little girl the origin of this spirit tree." ”

Called twice in a row, Geng Lao didn't have the slightest reaction, and the angry Hongling stomped his feet, but he didn't dare to be too much to the old man, so he had to continue to preside over the auction: "Cangbi Lingmu, the reserve price is twenty spirit stones, and the auction will start now." ”

The auction has been held for half a day, and for the first time, there has been no one to bid, which makes Hongling on the stage a little embarrassed.

Offstage, Mao Rui's table. Sha Qianwen lowered her head and said to Mao Rui embarrassedly: "That, brother, can you help me take a picture of this spiritual wood, I will return it to you if I have a spirit stone." ”

Mao Rui looked at Sha Qianwen, who lowered her head and her two jade fingers were constantly intertwined, and glanced at Mao Zhe and Mao Hao again, and said puzzledly: "I can't absorb the aura of this thing, what do you want?"

Sha Qianwen raised her head, looked directly at Mao Rui, and said, "The first time I saw the spirit wood, I felt that the aura in my body became very active, and I believe that it will definitely be useful to me." Even if it's useless, I'll pay you back the spirit stone, so help me buy it first. ”

Looking at Sha Qianwen's expectant appearance, Mao Rui sighed and nodded helplessly.

Geng Lao's eyes in the distance opened a thin slit, and then closed again, revealing a smile on his old face.

"Ahem, if someone else bids, Mao Rui, it's not too late for you to bid, if no one bids, let this Lingmu flow be auctioned. At the next table, Liu Yiyi poked her little head and said.

"Why?" Sha Qianwen asked puzzledly, if the auction failed, the auction items would have to be returned to the seller afterwards, so wouldn't she get it.

"Ahem"

Hearing Sha Qianwen's question, Mao Rui, Mao Zhe, Mao Hao, Mao Caiqin, Liu Yiyi, and Huang Yan'er heard a cough at the same time, and Leng Sin's tense face at that moment couldn't help but twitch.

The question in Sha Qianwen's heart became even greater, but no one told her the answer.

Hongling finished reporting the reserve price, it has been two minutes, but no one in the audience has bid, I thought that this item could not be sold, but I didn't think about it, someone immediately quoted.

"Twenty spirit stones," a casual cultivator said tentatively.

Hongling looked at the loose cultivator charmingly, and saw that the person's face was flushed, and then she giggled and said, "This gentleman bid twenty, is there a higher one?" ”

Mao Rui frowned and shouted, "Twenty-one." ”

"Young Master Mao Rui bid for twenty-one spirit stones, is there a higher price than this? ”

After nearly ten seconds, Hongling shouted again: "Twenty-one spirit stones twice, is this gentleman still going to increase the price, maybe if you increase the price again, Young Master Mao Rui will give up." As he spoke, he looked at the cultivator with deep affection.

"Two... Twenty-five spirit stones. The loose cultivator was so excited by Hongling that he stammered a little when he spoke, and added four spirit stones in one go.

"Hey, I said that kid, Mao Rui, this bastard is very insidious, you have to be careful, don't be like Li Suying, give all the spirit stones on your body to Mao Rui. Jiang Liu of the Panhai Academy kindly reminded, and at the same time did not forget to say a few words to Li Suying, who contradicted himself.

Li Suying, who sat there quietly and didn't do anything, stared at Jiang Liu fiercely. I was already embarrassed enough today, and Jiang Liu, this guy, had to come to reveal the scars, which was unbearable. Li Suying's hatred for Jiang Liu is second only to Mao Rui.

Listening to Jiang Liu's words, Sanxiu's face turned pale, and he woke up from Hongling's charm, and a trace of panic flashed in his eyes.

Hongling said with displeasure in her tone: "Gongzi Jiangliu, the auction adheres to the principle of fair competition, please don't interfere..."

"Twenty-six spirit stones. Mao Rui didn't let the woman continue, who knows what kind of mess will go wrong, and directly quotes.

Hongling was stunned for a moment, and looked at her with doubts, and it was Mao Rui's eyes full of warning that met her gaze.

"Uh...."Hongling was even more puzzled, didn't this spirit wood be taken out by Mao Rui's fiancée? Then why stop me, I'm obviously helping him.

Under Mao Rui's gaze, Hongling began to inquire three times with full doubts. After three times, this piece of spirit wood belonged to Mao Rui.

After delivering the spirit stone, Mao Rui gave the spirit wood in his hand to Sha Qianwen.

When Sha Qianwen happily accepted the spirit stone and cherished it into the storage bag, Geng Lao in the distance opened his eyes again, glanced at Sha Qianwen, and whispered in a voice that only he could hear: "The girl of the Mao family, the Mao family has a grudge against the Bai family, is there going to be a war in the near future?"

Hongling on the stage cleaned up her mood for a while, looked at the next auction item on the list in her hand, and her eyes burst into bright light.

"Everyone, pay attention, the next items to be auctioned, and they are so precious, that we originally put them in the last few pieces for the finale, but now we have decided to auction them early. ”

At the same time, an old man who exuded the coercion of a strong foundation building man and was wearing the costume of an elder of the Crane Spirit Sect walked out of the original acquisition office and came to the high platform.
