Chapter 263: Speculation
Lu Tianyu also didn't know what confidence Chen Hongyi had given the price of 10,000 spirit stones, the collections in the cultivation world are not prints of scientific and technological civilization, you can print as many as you want, it is no exaggeration to say that each collection is a unique product, because each collection carries the author's spiritual imprint, even if ordinary people copy a copy of these collections, they will not be able to perfectly copy the spiritual imprints in the collection, but may not be able to understand the true essence of the collection because of the lack of spiritual imprints in the collection.
Therefore, if there is a transcript in a collection, then the transcriber must have the same realm as the author, otherwise the transcript is not a real collection.
However, Lu Tianyu still humbly asked: "If I want to get this alchemy notebook, then what kind of resources does Steward Chen think is more appropriate for me to come up with to exchange it?" ”
"It's hard to say, the person who constructs the auction usually does not look at how much valuable resources you come up with, but will look at which one he needs, so no matter how many good things you come up with, the final decision is in the mind of the consignor."
"That's right!"
Lu Tianyu was a little embarrassed, he didn't know what the other party needed, he couldn't take out all his things, if it was a face-to-face exchange, it would be better to say, at least he knew what the other party wanted? But now I don't know what the other party is trying to do, and if there are too many things, I will expose my own details.
Difficult! It's really hard!
Even Lu Tianyu maliciously speculated that the other party might be testing everyone in the auction, and this kind of trickery made it easy to figure out the opponent's hole cards.
Lu Tianyu is bound to obtain this alchemy note of Wu Kuang, although he and the Chen family have finalized the conditions for reading the Chen family's collections, but reading and owning them are two concepts, maybe discuss with the Chen family in the future, if you can let yourself copy a few collections, but that is also a matter for the future.
Lu Tianyu sorted out the things he carried with him in his heart, excluded the things worth less than five thousand grade spirit stones, and found that it seemed that only the hundred-year-old Lingzhi and the two-hundred-year-old ginseng could be exchanged.
At the auction, a hundred-year-old ginseng was auctioned, and the auction price was 3,800 spirit stones, and the 200-year-old ginseng in Lu Tianyu's hand was estimated to be able to sell 8,000 to 10,000 spirit stones, perhaps even higher.
Lu Tianyu wrote down the hundred-year-old lingzhi and two-hundred-year-old ginseng on a piece of paper and handed them to the female worker behind him, Chen Hongyi stretched out his head and saw the name of the spirit grass written on the paper and said: "I didn't expect Master Lu to have such a good thing, if Master Lu didn't exchange it successfully, can you sell these two spirit grasses to the Chen family, and the Chen family is willing to pay 12,000 spirit stones to buy them?" ”
Since Chen Hongyi saw it, Lu Tianyu had no intention of concealing it: "This is easy to say!" But I don't want spirit stones, the Chen family can exchange other things with me? ”
Chen Hongyi thought for a while and said, "It should be possible!" ”
Lu Tianyu wanted to know how much the Chen family had, but what he wanted most was the collection of the Chen family, but he didn't know if the Chen family was reluctant.
Indeed, as Chen Hongyi expected, there were not many customers who participated in the exchange of alchemy notes, and the auctioneer went to the backstage with the paper in his hand, and walked out a few minutes later, and did not announce who would get the opportunity to exchange alchemy notes, but only announced that the auction was over.
Lu Tianyu thought that the things he took out failed to attract the attention of the auctioneer, but Chen Hongyi comforted: "It's hard to say, if no one stops you before we leave, you really won't have a chance." ”
It turned out that it was not that he didn't have a chance, but that the auctioneer would trade with the bidder in private, and Lu Tianyu didn't take this matter to heart, anyway, Chen Hongyi also said that the Chen family had an alchemy essay left by Wu Kuang, even if he couldn't get it this time, it didn't matter.
When Lu Tianyu and Chen Hongyi left the auction site and walked downstairs, a man in a robe stopped the two and said, "Is it Mr. Lu?" My master wants to see your reishi and ginseng? ”
Lu Tianyu glanced at Chen Hongyi, Chen Hongyi smiled and said, "You go, I'll wait for you in the car outside." ”
As if seeing Lu Tianyu's concerns, Chen Hongyi continued: "It's very safe here, and the auction will definitely not do such a thing." ”
With Chen Hongyi's assurance, Lu Tianyu was relieved, not that Lu Tianyu was worried about his safety, but that he didn't want anything unpleasant to happen to the auction organizer.
Lu Tianyu was taken by the man in the robe to a room that had not yet been powdered on the wall, there were only two wooden stools in the room, and on one wooden stool sat an old man in a Taoist robe, with white hair, white eyebrows and white beard, and a fairy wind and bones. ”
Lu Tianyu looked at Zhang Zhenren, only to see that his breath was restrained, his eyes were like electricity, the Taoist robe on his body was windless, and he was looking at himself with a peaceful smile, waiting for him to speak.
Although Lu Tianyu didn't use his mind to investigate, Zhang Zhenren sat there as if he was about to merge with the air, with such a cultivation, of course he would not be stupid enough to provoke the other party.
"This is a hundred-year-old lingzhi and a two-hundred-year-old ginseng, please take a look at it", Lu Tianyu took out two jade boxes from the backpack he carried and put them in front of Zhang Zhenren.
Zhang Zhenren's eyelids narrowed slightly, he glanced at the jade box seemingly inadvertently, raised his hand and waved it gently, the jade box in front of him had been opened: "Good quality", he took out the alchemy notebook from his sleeve cage as he spoke, and with a wave of his hand, he fell in front of Lu Tianyu, and was caught by Lu Tianyu.
"Not bad! At a young age, he is already a mid-level peak ability, but do you want to come to the hidden door to study? ”
Lu Tianyu took the alchemy notebook and wanted to leave immediately, the longer he was in contact with these people, the more he could not guarantee that he would not leak the secrets on his body, but when he heard Zhang Zhenren's words, he was slightly stunned and said: "I heard that the Hidden Gate is recruiting worldly disciples in Mount Tai, and I wanted to go and see it, but unfortunately no one recommended it?" ”
"This is a token of this door, if you want to go there, you can study with this token!"
As soon as the words fell, Lu Tianyu saw a white light shoot out from Zhang Zhenren's hand, shooting towards Lu Tianyu's chest. Lu Tianyu just wanted to reach out to pick it up, but immediately found that the white light carried a terrifying wind, and the hairs on his whole body stood up in an instant, where did he dare to reach out and take it hard. Hurriedly took two steps back, brushed his fingers over the white light, and took two steps back, only to feel that his arm was hit by a heavy object, and he was able to take the white light, and his arm was about to lose consciousness all day.
"Are you testing yourself?"
Lu Tianyu endured the sore arm and looked at the token in the palm of his hand, which was a blue-white jade plaque, with two words carved with seal characters on it: Dragon and Tiger.
The look of surprise in Zhang Zhenren's eyes flashed, and he smiled: "The skills are not bad, but the foundation is a little worse, let's practice in the day!" ”
"Thank you Zhang Zhenren!" Lu Tianyu said respectfully.
"Hmmm! I heard that you have bought a few foreign slaves, do you want to buy more? ”
To be honest, Lu Tianyu was not very interested in buying alien slaves, but Zhang Zhenren's words made Lu Tianyu hesitate, it was obvious that Zhang Zhenren was not playing with himself, and after thinking about it, he still said: "Is there still a slave auction in the auction?" ”
"Absolutely!"
Zhang Zhenren said happily: "You have also seen that the slave transaction in this auction is light, and only a few slaves were purchased with another person, and the transaction that originally wanted to sell slaves at this auction was terminated, if Xiaoyou wants to buy other slaves, Poor Dao can be the master, how about selling each slave to Xiaoyou for five hundred spirit stones?" ”
Lu Tianyu was overjoyed in his heart, this price couldn't be lower, for example, the three white elves he just bought, each of them only had five hundred spirit stones, which was equivalent to half of the previous auction price.
"I'm afraid that's not right!"
"What's wrong, you can't sell it at a good price if you put it in your hands, it's better to have a good relationship with Xiaoyou!"
Lu Tianyu was not hypocritical, and said: "Thank you for the chief, I don't know if I can take a look at the goods first!" ”
"Yes!"
Zhang Zhenren said to the black-robed man who had stopped Lu Tianyu at the door just now: "Apprentice, take this little friend to see the goods!" ”
The black-robed man answered, and walked towards another room with Lu Tianyu, as soon as Lu Tianyu walked out of the room, a young woman dressed as a Taoist aunt appeared in the corner and said, "Master, that person was a little strange just now, as if he noticed my existence?" ”
"Hmm!"
Zhang Zhenren frowned slightly and said: "Weishi wanted to force him into a corner, but he forcibly changed the direction of retreat, and only took four steps back to catch the strength of Weishi's Sancheng, even if this strength is not much compared to you." ”
"Then why did the master give him the original copy?" The young nun muttered displeasure.
Zhang Zhenren took out another book from his sleeve, which turned out to be exactly the same as the alchemy notebook that Lu Tianyu had just taken away, looked down at it, threw it to the young nun and said, "Xia'er, do you know the mystery in it?" ”
"Don't you know?"
At this time, the black-robed man who accompanied Lu Tianyu out turned around and said to Zhang Zhenren: "Master, the apprentice has already done the matter!" ”
"So fast!" Zhang Zhenren was a little surprised, it had only been less than ten minutes, and he wondered in his heart, was Lu Tianyu dissatisfied with those slaves? "Is he dissatisfied with slaves?" ”
"It's not!" The black-robed man was a little embarrassed and said, "He only walked around the cage where the slaves were held for a while, and then bought the remaining white elves, black elves, dwarves, and a mermaid, and the other slaves were not wanted." ”
Hearing this, Zhang Zhenren stroked the beard under his chin and said, "What an interesting little guy, what did he use to pay for this?" ”
"It's a medium-grade spirit stone!" The black-robed man stretched out his hand, and in his palm was a medium-grade spirit stone.
"Let's go down!" Zhang Zhenren waved his hand to let the black-robed man leave, and said to the young Dao Gu, "What do you think now?" ”
The light in the eyes of the young Dao Gu flashed and said: "He is really arrogant, he actually has a medium-grade spirit stone in his hand, even if there are not many medium-grade spirit stones in the collection of this sect, he is willing to use a medium-grade spirit stone to buy slaves, and he has a hundred-year-old Lingzhi and a two-hundred-year-old ginseng in his hand, so he really wants to pay attention to him?" ”
"That's a good point!"
Zhang Zhenren nodded approvingly, this apprentice's qualifications and temperament are good, but he is too arrogant and looks down on people in the world, and he wants to hone her when he goes down the mountain to take her with him this time.
"There are two more things you haven't noticed?"
The young Dao Gu was a little puzzled, she was already very attentive, and she still had some omissions, which made her a little discouraged.
"The first point, he exchanged the spirit grass for alchemy notes, which shows that he values alchemy notes very much, if the teacher is not mistaken, he is an alchemist, but when he tried it just now, this person has good skills, and he is already at the peak of the middle level at a young age, don't you feel strange?"
"The second point, the slaves he chose are also very strange, the reason why Weishi asked him to choose slaves is to see what kind of slaves he will buy, and the result is similar to what Weishi thought, he didn't buy any fierce alien guards, but only selected some auxiliary slaves, Xia'er, can you figure it out now?"
Zhang Zhenren didn't say one thing yet, that is, the spirit grass that Lu Tianyu took out to exchange for alchemy notes was obviously planted in a place with abundant spiritual energy, otherwise the spiritual energy on these two spiritual grasses would not make sense.
The young Dao Gu still seemed to understand a little bit and said, "Please give me advice?" ”
"Dwarves are good at crafting weapons, white elves are good at cultivating spirit grass, black elves are good at assassination, mermaids live in the ocean, in addition to being good at water, what they are best at is singing, mermaids' singing seems to have no other use except for being able to confuse people's minds? Don't you feel a little weird? ”
As Zhang Zhenren said, the young Dao Gu also thought of this, especially after Lu Tianyu took out the spirit grass, it was not strange for Lu Tianyu to buy white elves and dwarves, as for the black elves, it was easy to understand, after all, the black elves were good at concealing assassinations, and it was not bad to be a guard, but the mermaid was more difficult to understand.
Zhang Zhenren didn't understand why Lu Tianyu wanted to buy mermaid slaves, was it because he coveted the beauty of mermaids?
Of course it can't be, although the mermaid's name has the word beauty, it is far from the aesthetic view of humans, but the white elf and the fox girl are more in line with the aesthetic view of humans.
Zhang Zhenren and the young Dao Gu couldn't understand why Lu Tianyu would buy a mermaid, it was because they couldn't imagine that Lu Tianyu still had an island in his hand, Lu Tianyu was completely moved by compassion when he saw the mermaid, and he had no purpose at all, it was Zhang Zhenren who complicated the problem.
Chen Hongyi was waiting for Lu Tianyu to come out at the door, and after seeing Lu Tianyu come out alone, he was ready to leave with Lu Tianyu.
"Steward Chen, let's go back first, I also bought some slaves from the auction organizer just now, and they will send these slaves back with me?"
"Oh!"
Chen Hongyi said that he understood, didn't ask more, left the three white elves and said, "When is Master Lu going to go to Chen's house to read the collection, and I should prepare in advance?" ”
Lu Tianyu thought for a while and said, "If nothing else, I'm going to go to Chen's house on Monday, I wonder if it's convenient for Chen's house?" ”
"Good! That's a word! ”
