Chapter Seventy-Seven: Wood Essence and Bronze in Hand
"Able to suppress the cold poison!" Lin Yun repeated, with the rapid growth of his own strength, the power of the cold poison became stronger and stronger, and recently, when the cold air was strong in the middle of the night, he clearly felt the restlessness of the cold poison in the Five Elements Seal.
Mo Zixun may have a way to strengthen the Five Elements Sealing Array, but he is currently fighting a bloody battle on the front line of Yiqi Kingdom, and it can be said that he has wrestled in the blood water, how can Lin Yun worry about his master?
Therefore, in the final analysis, Lin Yun had to solve the matter of cold poison by himself, he now drank a few large bowls of the spirits given to him by the Ice Turbidity Elder before cultivating every day, but it was still to no avail. After getting this little grass, if it really had an effect, Lin Yun could ask Elder Ice Turbidity to refine a few pills for himself.
The audience in the audience was not as cold and poisonous as Lin Yun, so the reaction was not too intense.
Chibai looked around and found that everyone was not interested in this grass, so he said helplessly: "It seems that everyone is not interested, so this grass will be photographed in five hundred taels." ”
It was not as fierce as the previous bidding, and only a few people in the audience were a little moved. According to Chibai's statement, this grass is only recorded in ancient books, but there is no guarantee that this grass will have such an effect, and it is useless to get it for people who do not have cold poison in their bodies.
"Six hundred taels. ”
"Patience, patience. Lin Yun suppressed his throbbing heart, if he was too anxious to bid, he would be mistaken by others for this little grass to be priceless, and he would snatch it back and do research.
Who knows, after the price was raised to six hundred taels, no one bid anymore, and the scene was embarrassing for a while.
Chibai was also a little dissatisfied, this grass was picked by his subordinates from the southernmost part of Yiqi Country after nine deaths, and there was a Zhou Tian-level demon beast guarding the grass, but he didn't expect it to be so unpopular, so he bought it for a price of six hundred taels.
Just as Chi Bai was about to open his mouth to announce the ownership of Xiaocao, Lin Yun suddenly raised his hand and shouted, "Seven hundred taels." ”
There is still room to raise the price, Chibai's frowning brows relaxed, "Is there anyone else who wants to bid?"
"Eight hundred taels. The person who bid for Xiaocao earlier was obviously very unhappy with Lin Yun's competition, and raised it by one hundred taels again.
Lin Yun frowned, this person was really difficult, so he had to raise the price again: "One thousand taels!"
The other party also frowned, he himself was a Mumai cultivator, proficient in the art of alchemy, and he was also quite fond of these rare medicinal materials, and it was still very valuable to go back and refine them into pills.
"Two thousand taels. After a while, the other party directly raised one thousand taels, and then he looked at Lin Yun defiantly.
Lin Yun's fists clenched instantly, and he looked at the other party without hesitation, and said coldly: "Four thousand taels, no matter how high it is, it will be given to you." "Four thousand taels is almost all the money on him, no matter how high he is, he has no strength to compete.
The other party snorted coldly and gave up the plan to raise the price again, four thousand taels is no longer a small amount.
Unexpected delight. Chi Bai looked at Lin Yun with a smile, and announced unsatisfied: "Then this little grass belongs to this little friend." ”
Just as Lin Yun was secretly happy, the old man of the dead wood, who had closed his eyes and recuperated, suddenly opened his eyes, "Wait, I'll give you ten thousand taels." ”
"You ......" Lin Yun suddenly became angry, and the old man of the dead wood clearly wanted to put him along.
Chi Bai looked at the two of them with interest, hesitated for a moment, and still excused himself: "I'm sorry, I have already announced that this little grass belongs to this little friend, so even if you pay a high price, I can't repent anymore." ”
Lin Yun, who was drinking tea to calm his mood, almost squirted out a mouthful of tea when he heard this, this red cypress and red pine are worthy of being brothers, and the two uphold fairness and justice are almost identical.
"Hmph," the old man of the dead wood was taken aback, Huo Ran stood up, pressed the red cypress on the stage with a momentum, and explained: "Twenty thousand taels." I was recuperating with my eyes closed and missed the bid. ”
Chi Bai looked directly at the old man of the dead wood, and his whole body showed his momentum, and he stood against the old man of the dead wood, and said fearlessly: "This is the rule of my auction house. ”
The old man of the dead wood has hated Lin Yun deeply in the past few days, and now he is angry again, and when he sees that he is about to have a seizure, Chi Song on the side hurriedly grabbed him and pressed him back to his seat.
"Eliminate gas. Akamatsu comforted, a little funny, on one side of the friend, on the other side of the brother, he would never want a conflict between the two.
"Well, thank you to the deadwood seniors. Lin Yun hugged his fists and smiled, he had been with Jian Er for a long time, and he had no merit in falling into the well. This is a special way, as long as the other party takes care of face after falling into the well, he will not have an attack because of this incident again.
The old man of the dead wood closed his eyes and recuperated, ignoring Lin Yunai, and he probably wouldn't pay attention to what the latter said again.
Lin Yun didn't pay attention to the next few items in the auction, it was already an unexpected joy to get a small grass that could suppress cold poison, and he was also powerless for the other treasures.
The auction was in full swing, and from time to time someone in the audience or in the private room offered jaw-dropping prices to compete for the treasure, but during this period, the old man of the dead wood did not open his eyes again, as if everything in the outside world had nothing to do with him.
Lin Yun stole a glance at Chi Song, who was watching his brother preside over the auction with a look of relief.
"That's fine. There are Chisong seniors here, and I am not afraid that you will repay your debts. Lin Yun muttered to himself.
"Here's the last item of our auction today, wood and copper. Chi Bai exhaled, his eyes were also full of anticipation, this basin-sized wood essence copper was personally shot by him, and he found it after twists and turns.
"I think you must have heard of such a legend, in ancient times, there was a peerless cultivator who cultivated to the heavens, and he also practiced the same wood vein exercises as us. Suddenly, Akaki began to tell the story.
Lin Yun pursed his lips, what is this red cypress selling, and he still tells the story at the auction?
"At that time, the five kingdoms were fighting each other, and this peerless great cultivator accidentally fell into a treacherous plan in a battle with the monks of the Iki Kingdom, and when he fell, he integrated his life's cultivation into the earth. Since then, this kind of wood essence copper has been buried in the land of Yiqi Country, which is dedicated to restraining earth vein monks. ”
In the past, Lin Yun had only seen a few records in ancient books, and he couldn't imagine that there was such a story in Mu Jingtong.
"Of course, legends are just legends. Akaki smiled and continued, "But the wood essence copper does have the effect of restraining the earth vein cultivators, so it is also regarded as a forbidden object in the Iki Kingdom. ”
Lin Yun suddenly realized that the red cypress was building momentum for the wood essence copper, which not only aroused the pride of Lin Yinguo's monks, but also brought out its value from the side.
"I believe that everyone also understands its value, so it is based on 100,000 taels, and each price increase shall not be less than 10,000 taels. ”
Lin Yun secretly said to himself, this basin-sized wood essence copper is worth 100,000 taels, and it is only the reserve price. You must know that when he was in Anbei City, Anbei City's annual income was this amount.
"One hundred and fifty thousand!"
"Two hundred thousand!"
......
"Two million!"
The price of wood essence copper was soon raised to a sky-high price of as high as two million taels of silver, and ordinary people may not see so much money in their lifetime.
"Three million taels. The old man of the dead wood, who had been closing his eyes and recuperating, opened his eyes and directly raised the price by one million taels, so that Lin Yun, who had been worried, finally calmed down, the latter was afraid that he would repay the debt.
"Three and a half million taels. "There are still people in the bakery who are raising prices.
The old man of the dead wood looked at the other side, and then sneered: "Five million taels." ”
The other party's hand was raised and lowered, and his mouth snorted a few times, but in the end, the price was not raised again, five million taels had exceeded the original value of wood essence copper, and it was 500,000 taels when converted into gold, which was even enough to support a small war.
Chibai nodded in satisfaction and announced, "Then, the wood essence copper will belong to the old man of the dead wood." Well, now that the wood essence copper has a home, it is time to announce the end of this auction, and the guests who have successfully won the auction are also invited to the rear to settle and deliver with me. ”
The auction ended, and the people who did not succeed in the auction slowly withdrew, and the few successful bidders, under the guidance of the waiters, also went to the rear to settle the money and goods.
Lin Yun carefully put the wood essence copper and the grass into the wooden box and put them into the storage stone, and said to the old man with a straight face with a straight face: "Thank you seniors, you are indeed a trustworthy and trustworthy person." After speaking, he didn't wait for the old man to answer, and dragged Yan Ming away from the auction house quickly.
"Hmph, cunning little bastard. The old man squinted his eyes and looked at Lin Yun's back.
Lin Yun had made the old man suffer a lot in the past few days, and he had already expected that the latter would not give up. If the old man didn't come to the door, everyone would be happy. However, if the old man of the dead wood had the heart to do it, then Yan Ming would only be a burden, so Lin Yun needed to send Yan Ming to a safe place first.
When everything settled, Lin Yun would naturally find an opportunity to sneak into Chai Cangcheng again by stealth, and go to the ghost axe blacksmith shop to exchange wood essence and copper for dragon tail wood.
"Childe. Yan Ming was a little unclear, so his wrist was also held by Lin Yun.
Lin Yun didn't care about it, took Yan Ming all the way out of the city, and said solemnly: "You immediately find a way to go back to Hail Snow City, disguise yourself as a merchant, immediately!" After speaking, he took out the only remaining dozens of taels of silver and stuffed it to Yan Ming.
"But ......" Yan Ming was about to speak, but he was speechless at Lin Yun's eyes, and he no longer hesitated at the moment, wrapped the silver in his arms, and ran away quickly.
Lin Yun watched Yan Ming run away, and he didn't relax at all, and immediately swept in a different direction from Yan Ming. He wasn't sure how to deal with the old man alone, and even escape was a problem, and what Monk Wood Vein was best at was control, so he had to find a place where there was plenty of water element, such as a stream or lake.
After running for about a few miles, Lin Yun finally felt that the water element was a little stronger, and he thought that there must be a water source nearby.
"Uh......" With a muffled snort, Lin Yun was stunned to find that he had been tightly tied up by the vines, and he couldn't even move his fingers, he couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart: "It's so fast." ”
