Chapter 538: Bidding for Jin Yuandan
Lin Nuanyue, who was sitting next to Li Daochong, had been quiet since the beginning of the auction, not like a participant, as if an observer, after the lots were presented, she just watched silently.
Until Jin Yuandan appeared, Lin Nuanyue's mood fluctuated violently in an instant.
Jin Yuandan is the only purpose for her to participate in the auction, which is the key to whether she can enter the Jindan period.
For a casual cultivator like Lin Nuanyue, all kinds of cultivation resources are very scarce, and it is not easy to rely on his own cultivation little by little to get to where he is now.
Talent is important in the cultivation process, but resources are even more important.
No matter how high the talent is without resources, it is useless, as the old saying goes, it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice.
Those with extremely high talent are clever women, what is the use of you if you don't have rice to cook.
What's more, Lin Nuanyue was obviously not a highly gifted person, just a very ordinary member of the Yunyun cultivators, and the cultivation resources became even more important.
Lin Nuanyue has been cultivating for many years, and she already has a certain understanding, and her talent is not high, and it is not bad.
It is not impossible to cultivate to the Jindan stage, but at least there must be a normal supply of cultivation resources.
If not, Lin Nuanyue will be in the foundation building period for the rest of her life.
For a human being living in the era of the Great Cultivator, the most painful thing is not that he cannot become a cultivator.
But when you step into the gate of cultivation and see that vast sky, you can only stand still, and you can't enter that sky.
As the saying goes, out of sight, out of mind.
Those who have not been able to enter the foundation cannot see the sky, and they do not know what the situation is.
Knowing and not being able to achieve it is the greatest pain.
Lin Nuanyue has struggled so far, so that one day she can surpass Zhuji and become a Jindan monk.
Her current age is the best time to lay the foundation, once she misses it, the period of achieving the Golden Pill will be greatly delayed, and maybe she may not be able to cultivate to the Golden Pill realm at the age of forty or fifty.
Seventy or eighty will condense the golden pill again, and then the upper limit will be like this, and she will live for another hundred years as an old woman.
Lin Nuanyue's goal is not just Jindan, but she hopes that she can become a Jindan monk around the age of thirty.
In this way, you can have a longer youth and tap more potential.
Looking at the Jin Yuan Dan placed in the protective spirit array on the stage, Lin Nuanyue's heart beat faster, her emotions were a little flustered, and her eyes were a little more apprehensive and unconfident.
Shyness in the bag is Lin Nuanyue's biggest pain.
The black market price of Jin Yuan Dan is around one million primary spirit stones, and it is still Jin Yuan Dan whose condition is not very good.
If it was a one-star Jin Yuan Pill refined by a one-star alchemist, the price would immediately triple and three million primary spirit stones might not be able to take it.
No matter how much a cultivator has a lot of money, once he spends it, he will feel that he is a poor bastard.
Lin Nuanyue has made a lot of preparations for this auction, although she has had a very serious economic crisis before and cannot make ends meet.
But that's because she didn't take out all her family funds, how could Lin Nuanyue use her family funds unless she had to.
That is his last hope, so he naturally has to save it for the most critical time to use it, and he can repay the loan with the small amount of money he usually earns.
But for the sake of this Jin Yuan Pill, Lin Nuanyue took out all her family resources and sold them in the dungeon Shadow Workshop a few days ago.
An ancient treasure, a book of exercises, and a very rare thousand-year-old spirit grass.
For these three items, Lin Nuanyue sold 2.3 million primary spirit stones, plus the savings on her body and the mansion that Li Daochong just bought to get a commission, there are a total of 2.6 million primary spirit stones.
On that day, Lin Nuanyue wanted to buy Jin Yuan Dan on the black market in the dungeon, but she spent five thousand primary spirit stones to buy the source.
In the end, the information obtained was that due to the lack of the two spirit grasses, the refining of Jin Yuan Dan had stagnated, and it would be difficult to find a source of goods within five years.
Even if there were, the price would be higher than usual, and there would be no bones left to buy on the black market.
However, the person who betrayed the source saw that Lin Nuanyue was pitiful, but told her two additional ways to obtain Jin Yuandan.
One is to go to the Black Prison Star and buy it, where everything is available.
The other is the first auction held in Zabao Street.
In a place like the Black Prison Star, Lin Nuanyue doesn't have to think about it, a monk of her strength basically has no return.
The best outcome is not to be taken away and sold by human traffickers, and the Black Prison Star is a paradise for criminals, demon cultivators, ghost cultivators, and madmen.
The last wild land of the Great Repair Age.
For some reason, the three major Xiuzhen empires had nothing to do about that star field, and they seemed to be afraid of this, and it seemed that they had reached some kind of consensus among themselves.
In short, it is not the underworld, but it is the savage land of the underworld.
People are often more terrifying than ghosts, and at any time, there will be such people, and cultivators are also human beings, and they are even more powerful people.
The Black Prison Star is the distribution center for these terrifying cultivators.
So when the two suggestions provided by the person who sold the source, about the Black Prison Star, it was no different from not saying anything to Lin Nuanyue, and the Black Prison Star was not unknown to her, but what was the use of knowing it?
She didn't dare to go even in the Jindan period, let alone the foundation building period.
Obviously, auctioning this Jin Yuan Dan at auction is Lin Nuanyue's only hope.
Lin Nuanyue looked at the Golden Yuan Pill and was in a trance, her thoughts drifted a little, until a loud shouting came from a very close area behind her, which startled her and she came back to her senses.
"Seven hundred and fifty thousand."
In less than a minute, the price has risen from the starting price of 500,000 yuan to 750,000 yuan.
It's just some guys shouting and playing with a fluke mentality, and the real buyers haven't started to join in.
The auction is very deep, and there is a lot of knowledge and rules.
The larger the auction, the more complex it is.
Of course, the most important thing is whether your pocket is enough to bulge, and you naturally don't care if you have a lot of money, but most people don't want to be wronged.
In addition, this kind of lot that appears in front of you can't consume too much of your money, and if you really take the lead, when something better appears later, your confidence will be discounted, or even withdraw from the competition directly.
But Jin Yuan Dan, a cultivation pill that is in high demand, is a hot item.
How to win it at the most reasonable price is the most important consideration for every monk who wants to win it.
For those monks who came for Jin Yuandan, the last thing they wanted was for a big man to get involved.
If they do, then they won't have to play.
The auction is actually a psychological war between buyers, testing each other, competing with each other, and not being too blind in the transaction.
"One and a half million."
In an instant, the price rose to 1.2 million.
Lin Nuanyue's hands were clenched, her palms were sweating, and the expression on her pretty face looked very nervous, and the feeling of wanting but not getting it made her restless.
Zeng Jiao kept changing her gaze on the stage, looking to the left for a while, and looking to the right for a while, Jin Yuandan's appearance pushed the auction to a small **.
There are a lot of monks who want to buy Jin Yuandan, which is also expected.
When the price was reported to 1.6 million, someone in the box on the second floor finally began to quote.
"One million eight million."
As soon as he opened his mouth, the price was raised by as much as 200,000.
The monk who wanted to be in the hall on the first floor suddenly turned pale, and many people looked up at the area on the second floor where they shouted out the price.
It was none other than Jiang Tai'an.
Jin Yuandan is one of the Jiang family's targets this time, not because the Jiang family needs it, but because Jiang Tai'an, a customer from the Nankun Empire, wants it.
This is Jiang Tai'an's inevitable item, this customer has a large market share in the Nankun Empire, and the current trade with the Jiang family is still very small, if the other party can give the Jiang family a little more share.
The Jiang family is very hopeful that the family business will double in a short period of time, and the profits obtained in this way are not comparable to a mere Jin Yuan Dan.
There is a give-and-take, and Jiang Tai'an, who has been in business for most of his life, naturally knows the doorway.
Jiang Tai'an also saw that Jin Yuandan was not an item that those bigwigs needed, and the Jiang family still had enough strength to grab this Jin Yuandan.
The price is approaching two million.
This price has reached the limit for a monk on the first floor.
Zeng Jiao saw that many monks were bluffed, his eyes moved slightly, and one hundred and eighty thousand was not the expected price of his psychology, so he immediately spoke.
"Ladies and gentlemen, although the quality of this Jin Yuan Dan is not up to one star Jin Yuan Dan, it is also from the hands of the master, but it has not been able to achieve one star because of insufficient materials, but the master is a master after all, even if the ingredients are insufficient, it has reached the half-star level, and it is not worse than the one-star Jin Yuan Dan, Jiang Lao really has good eyesight."
Before Zeng Jiao finished speaking, Jiang Tai'an's face twitched, and the former's praise for himself was extremely harsh.
This girl is clearly encouraging people and driving up the price.
Jiang Tai'an's quotation at this time was to grasp the hearts of those first-tier monks, and when the price had been raised to a reasonable position, he suddenly soared the price, bluffed them, took advantage of their unpreparedness, and took the things at the critical price.
Because of the large number of items in this auction, the pause time after the bidding was shortened, and no one increased the price within fifteen seconds, and the final decision was made.
Jiang Tai'an calculated properly, and he was fifty percent sure that he would take down Jin Yuandan with psychological warfare, Zeng Jiao's introduction instantly smashed Jiang Tai'an's plan.
Jiang Tai'an took a deep look at Zeng Jiao, but he was also helpless, the Jiang family, the people of Shadow Workshop, couldn't move.
After Zeng Jiao finished speaking, she inadvertently raised her eyes to look at Jiang Tai'an on the second floor, and smiled at him slightly, smiling brightly but also a little treacherous.
Li Daochong sat under the stage, looking at Zeng Jiao on the stage, the corners of his lips raised slightly, he didn't expect this Miss Zeng to have such a cunning side, the previous contact with her, Li Daochong was a little suspicious of whether she was a business material, and every time he let himself take a big advantage.
Now it seems that Zeng Jiao did it on purpose, and the purpose is very simple, that is, to better herself.
"One million eight hundred and fifty thousand."
Zeng Jiao was just about to quote 1.8 million for the first time, and someone had already asked for the price.
Lin Nuanyue finally spoke.
Jiang Tai'an's eyes immediately turned to the direction of bidding, and when he saw Lin Nuanyue, it was a little strange, but soon he saw Li Daochong sitting next to Lin Nuanyue.
Isn't this kid in the box on the second floor? How does this sit underneath?
"Grandpa, at noon today, this kid beat me and Zhang Tun for that Lin Nuanyue." Jiang Ronghua approached Jiang Tai'an and whispered.
Jiang Tai'an's old face moved, and he glanced at Jiang Ronghua, "Isn't this kid who was in box 222 just now?" ”
Jiang Ronghua nodded, "Yes." ”
Jiang Tai'an said coldly, "Hmph, that woman surnamed Lin won't be deliberately finding fault with me, right?" ”
Jiang Ronghua added fuel to the fire, "Grandpa, it's very likely." ”
Jiang Tai'an glared at Jiang Ronghua, and couldn't wait to kick him downstairs, "It's all your kid's trouble, I want to buy Jin Yuandan, is it also what you leaked out." ”
Jiang Ronghua's head shrunk, and he said with a sad face, "Grandpa, I swear, I will never reveal half a word." ”
Jiang Tai'an glanced at Huang Yuelong, who was sitting on the sofa behind him and was still talking to his daughter Huang Jiaran, and said to Jiang Ronghua in a lower voice, "You kid is not successful enough to fail, you don't know what good things you did outside, who knows if you drank too much spiritual wine, and said that you leaked your mouth after drinking, or boasted by which female cultivator's pillow, telling you that after marrying Nizi surnamed Huang, you had better be honest, although the Huang family is a family on the fourth-class cultivation planet, the Huang family is an official family, and the connections are very deep, If you do something bastard after marriage and are discovered by the Huang family, grandpa will not be able to protect you, and the Huang family has countless ways to treat you. ”
"Yes, Grandpa." Jiang Ronghua bowed his head and said.
After Jiang Tai'an left a look of hatred for iron and steel, he turned to look down, and then quoted, "Two million." ”
"Two and two hundred thousand."
Almost as soon as Jiang Tai'an's words fell, Lin Nuanyue firmly quoted again, and raised the price by another 200,000 at once.
Lin Nuanyue is out at the moment, she has a total of 2.6 million, and she has called 2.6 million at the top of the sky, instead of rising little by little, it is better to have a good time and bluff people.
