Chapter 18: Ground-level martial arts

Whether on or off the field, everyone's eyes were focused on the door of Room 3 on the second floor, and although the door was locked, it could not remove the sight of the crowd.

Ju Ni forcibly suppressed the tension and excitement in his heart, holding the scroll in his hand as if he was holding a bean curd, for fear that a little violent shaking could destroy it.

Even with Ju Ni's concentration, he couldn't help but tremble his hands slightly, slowly opened the scroll, and the contents inside appeared in turn, Ju Ni's eyes lit up, and he carefully read it in his heart.

Once, twice, three times...... After watching the time of half a pillar of incense repeatedly, he still couldn't remember all the contents in it, Ju Ni smiled a little bitterly, this was the first time in his life that he felt helpless for a martial art.

"This, this is really a low-grade martial art! This brother, you are auctioning this kind of treasure?" Ju Ni was so shocked that even his face became strange.

"What? don't, don't give it back!" Zheng Jia used a deep voice like an ancient bell to echo in the room for a long time, unable to calm down.

"No, no, no, that's not what I mean! I just want to ask, what is your estimated value of this martial art......" For the "old man" in front of him, Ju Ni was really a little flustered.

"Valuation, I think about it, it's just one million! If you can't come up with a price, you should die as soon as possible!" Zheng Jia said this, waved his hand, and motioned for him to take it to auction quickly.

Ju Ni swallowed his saliva and nodded his head, he didn't have much fear of Zheng Jia's identity, after all, he had never shown a trace of suffocating oppression on his body, just a simple obsession with martial arts, so his panic just didn't want to miss such a good opportunity.

After a few minutes, Ju Ni briefly communicated with the auctioneer, and then put the scroll into a beautiful small black box and stepped aside.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the Bank is now temporarily auctioning an extremely precious item, let me sell it here, if the VIPs present are unable to make a decision to mobilize a large amount of family funds, please notify your family patriarch to come, because this item will definitely cause a sensation in the entire Ice Heart City!" said the auctioneer.

Someone in the audience was curious about whether this item was of such high value and needed the patriarch of the family to come to auction it in person, so a voice rang out: "Then what kind of auction item can alarm the entire Ice Heart City?"

"Hehe, please don't worry, this guest. As for what kind of auction item it is, it is not easy for the bank to disclose, but the only thing that can be revealed is that the starting price of this auction item is as high as 1 million! Therefore, in any case, the main person in charge of the family will be invited to come out and make a decision. The auctioneer threw a smirk, still refusing to reveal much useful information.

Just hearing the figure of one million, the people in the audience were speechless for a moment, maybe this lot was specially prepared for the patriarchs of the three major families or the city lord's mansion, right?

"The bank only gives one hour for the dignitaries to invite the family patriarch, and after an hour, those who do not have the right to decide the family's funds will be forbidden to auction the items!" The auctioneer locked the time in one hour, arousing the curiosity of all auctioneers.

The crowd was crowded, and when I saw people coming out of one room after another, like a light soldier gathering momentum, I knew how lively it would be after an hour when I thought about it.

"Zheng Jia, how high do you think this martial skill will be sold at a price? Will it be five million?" Although Fei Xuan couldn't figure out why Zheng Jia wanted to sell a ground-level martial art, since he did this, he must have a reason to do so, and he couldn't get to the bottom of it.

"Impossible! Although the sale is a ground-level martial art, but the starting price is too high, not to mention that Ice Heart City is only a medium-sized city, and the highest price is only two million, even if the auction price is two million, whether it can be taken out in the end depends on two words. Zheng Jia simply analyzed the current situation and made the most correct judgment.

Fei Xuan realized at this time, and he was strange at the moment, he was obviously three or four years older than Zheng Jia, and his strength was much higher than him, but why was his experience not as good as him at all?

Just when there was nothing to say, people outside the venue entered the venue one after another, and sure enough, there were people who were familiar to Zheng Jia and Fei Xuan.

I saw that the newcomers were no longer looking for a place dedicated to the special area, and sat directly under the arrangement of the staff less than ten meters away from the auction table. Although the setup is simple, there is still a series of equipment such as price increases.

"Sure enough, the patriarchs and city lords of the three major families are here, and it seems that they are still very concerned about the auction items that can be sold for millions of dollars. Fei Xuan looked at the four positions closest to the auction table, and one of them was his adoptive father, Sima Huihong.

"You pray that the person who auctioned off the Eight Kings Fist is not your father! After all, this thing is only a ground-level martial art on the surface, and if you buy it, you will lose it. In addition, this thing is an absolute hot potato, no matter who gets it, it will definitely become the target of public criticism. ”

Zheng Jia also silently prayed in his heart not to be bought by the patriarch Zheng Yingming, otherwise he would really pit his own people. At this moment, Qi Dao's gaze stayed on Zheng Yingming's pale yellow face, as if he had thought of the picture of who broke out in battle after obtaining the ground-level martial arts.

"Thank you patriarchs for your trust and presence! Today's last additional item may make the entire Ice Heart City tremble, I hope we can make money in harmony, otherwise it will be bad if we make a big fight for the sake of a mere low-grade martial art, causing the headquarters of the Heaven and Earth Auction House to be unpeaceful!"

Although the auctioneer said it very easily, he also deliberately passed by the lower grade martial arts of the ground level, and increased the headquarters of the Heaven and Earth Auction House, obviously to deter this party's strong and powerful.

"What?......?

The Heaven and Earth Auction House has branches in almost every city within the Heaven and Earth Empire, and even the Ice Heart City, which is as remote as this and invaded by the demon clan, also has the powerhouses of the Six Mountains, which shows that its power is huge, and the martial arts under the ground level are really rare, and it is common for battles to occur after the auction.

Therefore, in order to avoid some gossip, the local branch of Tiandi Auction House will protect the auction winners, which is why the auctioneer will be so stubborn at the beginning and move the headquarters directly.

"Next, I would like to introduce to you this low-grade martial art. This martial art is called Bawang Fist, there are a total of eight styles, and it is extremely difficult to practice each style, but once it is practiced, it is very powerful, for example, let a strong man of Yaeyama practice to the fullest, and he can level a mountain in half a day!"

In the auction of this item that is more valuable than the finale, the auctioneer's auction style suddenly turned 180 degrees, and the original charming tenderness became unsmiling, and even had a slight chilling hair.

"This martial art is purely created by the flesh and fists, if you let everyone here learn it, it will be difficult to meet an opponent at the same level, and you can even fight beyond the level! It is an artifact to ensure your own safety and prosper your family!

"This martial art is the auction item with a price of one million, and the increase shall not be less than 100,000 each time! I will give you a tea time to discuss, the auction will be held after a tea time, because the auction item is too valuable, the bank has decided to protect the personal safety of the auction winner for three days!"

The auctioneer took out the martial arts in the black box and displayed it again, and carefully put it back, saying seriously.

It's an auction rather than an auction for these four people. The rest of the people, whether in terms of economic conditions or family power, have no sense of existence like ants, and can only watch the excitement in it.

After deliberation......

"I believe that all the VIPs who have decided to conduct this auction are ready, and we are now isolated from people who have neither an invitation nor the authority to mobilize a large amount of family funds. This auction is definitely the most high-quality and the most intense, so let's start the auction!"

As the auctioneer cleared his throat and shouted, a voice rang out in the entire auction hall first: "One million and two million!"

This time, the auctioneer did not add fuel to the fire, because she knew that this kind of thing was hard to come by, and a good opportunity was in front of them, and whether they cherished it or not would directly affect the rise and fall of their family.

The figure of 1,200,000 was issued by the lord of the city, Nangu. City Lord Nangu, although his power is not as deep as that of the three major families, after all, he is doing things for the empire, and it is not a problem to take out one or two million savings. But the three families are different, they operate all kinds of shops, venues, etc., and just operating these things is a lot of expenses.

Therefore, the three major families have huge power on the surface, but if there is a collapse in a certain capital window, it can affect the whole body, and the consequences are unimaginable. Their common worries are the lack of liquidity, if they have to get started with a ground-level martial art, they will definitely use spare funds, and in this way, there may be a big collapse of the entire family.

But everyone's thinking is different, some people are eyeing the ground-level martial arts, and want to have a praying mantis to catch the cicada and yellow finch behind, some people will buy it, and then deal with various things in the future, while some people will be careful to minimize the cost and buy it.

When it comes to the survival of individuals and the rise and fall of the family, the patriarchs will inevitably rush to it sensibly.

"One million three hundred thousand!" Patriarch Sima's old eyes flashed with a hint of coldness, he offered this price was the most conservative method, combined with the actual situation of his own family, he was really a little unable to grasp this ground-level martial art.

"Daddy......" Fei Xuan was so anxious that he rushed forward to stop his adoptive father, but he was blocking a glass in front of him, and his head hit him unguardedly.

"Don't be nervous! This situation can't be settled at one time, you, why isn't your heart as mature as mine?" Zheng Jia smiled faintly and teased Fei Xuan.

"One million .45 million!" was Zheng Yingming, the patriarch of the Zheng clan, shouting at the moment.

Seeing that it was the patriarch of the family who followed the price, Zheng Jia was so anxious that he made a "bang", and like Fei Xuan, his head hit the glass.

"Eh, my patriarch, you're really impulsive!" Zheng Jia complained in his heart, the more he was afraid of something, the more he came!

"Look at your bear-like appearance, can you be as mature as me?" Fei Xuan also said this sentence in Zheng Jia's tone, and immediately the two brothers burst into laughter, as if the outside affairs had nothing to do with the two of them.
