Chapter 12: The Mysterious Stone
Ji Rongrong obviously didn't expect Ji Hou to have such a hole card, thinking to herself, "Maybe it really doesn't have a fate with me", at this time she was already planning to give up.
Ji Chen looked at Ji Rongrong, who was a little depressed, sighed, and comforted: "Sister Rongrong, if we don't help you make it up, maybe there will be a turnaround."
"Yes, yes, Sister Rongrong, I can lend you all my pocket money", Ji Xuan'er looked at Ji Rongrong and said seriously.
Xiao Ran and Lin Yuanqing, who were on the side, also nodded when they heard this, thinking that if Ji Rongrong really needed it, they could barely make up a lot of spirit stones.
Ji Rongrong was moved by the sincerity of Ji Chen and the others, but she shook her head and said, "Forget it, even if you take a picture, what if you shoot it? This price has exceeded its own value too much, and it's not worth buying it!"
Ji Rongrong paused, sweeping away her previous depression.
"Maybe it's just that it doesn't have a chance with me, let's think of other ways to break through!"
At this time, Ji Hou was looking at Ji Rongrong proudly, and Ji Rongrong also rested to Ji Hou's gaze, but she was not angry, she just pursed her lips and made a "you are casual" expression.
In this way, this round of auction of the Melting Spirit Grass has ended, and it was finally auctioned by Ji Hou at the price of 30,000 small spirit stones.
After a short rest, they saw a large bowl box being brought up, and in the box was a gray stone, the stone was irregular, the surface was pitted, and it looked extremely ordinary.
"What is this?"
"Isn't this just an ordinary stone? This can also be auctioned?"
......
Looking at such a lot, the audience burst into discussions, although noisy, but basically doubts about a stone as a lot.
The middle-aged man on the stage saw everyone's doubts and did not have stage fright, as a senior auction host, he still naturally introduced this stone:
"Everyone, don't be impatient, as far as I know, this stone was discovered by our people in the Nine Heavens Pavilion in a spiritual energy holy place, and it is said that when it was found, the whole body flashed with five-colored light, which was extremely magical, and it must not be a mortal thing......
The middle-aged man has used all his experience and skills in the industry for decades, and some of the good ones are added as long as they are good, saying that they are miraculous, and the purpose is to sell them at a good price.
"If anyone is interested in exploring the mystery, you might as well take a photograph and try it, the starting price of this item is 1,000 spirit stones"
Although the middle-aged man spoke on the stage, the people in the audience were silent and unmoved, and some even cast disdainful glances, and at this time, a few crows flew outside the Nine Heavens Pavilion.
"I'm a little interested, I'll give a thousand and one"
"Well, I want to take a good look too, I'll give one thousand two"
"I'm out of one thousand two hundred and five"
......
Although many people think that this stone doesn't even know what the Nine Heavens Pavilion itself is, there are still people who want to try their luck and make calculations in case they encounter a dusty treasure.
Of course, there are also many people from the Nine Heavens Pavilion who are secretly raising prices below.
"Ji boy, this is what stimulates me", at this time, Yuxi's voice came out.
"Well, isn't this just a stone? Do you still have a penchant for collecting stones?"
Ji Chen looked at the stone in disbelief, because no matter how Ji Chen looked at it, that stone couldn't be more ordinary.
"You're big! I'm not sure what this thing is, but it contains a very pure aura, and I need to study it carefully!"
Ji Chen grinned when he heard this, he thought that Jade Xi had some special habits.
"Then I'll do my best to shoot it!"
Ji Chen knew that Yuxi's perception of aura was very sensitive, although it could perceive it, but he couldn't ingest it directly, just like people can't eat raw rice.
Spiritual energy must be transformed into spiritual power through a certain medium before it can be absorbed by the jade seal, and Ji Chen is the medium of the jade seal, maybe when the jade seal recovers to a certain stage, it can not rely on Ji Chen.
Of course, the reason why the jade seal can absorb Ji Chen's demonic qi is because the violent energy of the demonic qi itself can be purified and absorbed by the jade, just like natural wild fruits can be eaten directly without processing, while the staple food must be carefully prepared.
At this time, the price was raised to 1,600, and Ji Chen thought that it was really an ordinary stone, so this price was really sky-high for this stone.
"I'm out of one thousand seven!"
When everyone heard the sound, they saw a fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy shouting the price.
"It's actually a child, can this Nine Heavens Pavilion even invite this kind of little kid to sit in the front row now?"
The person who spoke was very unhappy when he saw Ji Chen actually sitting in the front row.
"Don't talk nonsense, you see that he is sitting with Ji Rongrong, maybe he is also a child of the Ji family, be careful of causing trouble!"
Only then did everyone nod slightly, and no longer spoke.
The middle-aged man who heard Ji Chen's shouting was overjoyed, because he knew that most of the people who shouted just now were the people who were arranged by their Nine Heavens Pavilion to raise the price below, and now that Ji Chen was shouting the price, they would naturally accept it when they saw it.
Some people who were originally interested shook their heads when they saw that Ji Chen had already shouted one thousand seven, although they were interested in taking pictures, but it was based on a small investment, and the current price obviously exceeded their expectations.
The middle-aged man didn't think that anyone would do this wronged thing again, and when he was about to announce the result, someone suddenly shouted:
"I also like this stone very much, and I will also make a price, two thousand!"
The person who spoke was sitting opposite Ji Chen, and since the venue was circular, Ji Chen saw the person at a glance.
It was a man who was about the same age as Ji Rongrong, Ji Chen looked at the man and felt a little familiar, and suddenly remembered that the man was Murong Feng of the Murong family.
Murong Feng's expression was indifferent, and he didn't know if he really fell in love with this stone or deliberately wanted to raise the price.
"What does this Murong Feng want to do?"
Seeing that he was about to take a picture of the stone, he was suddenly stabbed sideways by Murong Feng, and Ji Chen was a little annoyed, and it was the first person in the younger generation of the Murong family who was asking for him, Murong Feng.
Ji Rongrong looked at Murong Feng and reminded Ji Chen: "This Murong Feng is probably deliberate, otherwise why didn't you see him shouting just now?"
Ji Chen also knew it in his heart, but he couldn't just give up, so he could only be prepared to spend more unjust money.
"Brother Murong, don't pour rice, I'll give you two thousand one!" Ji Chen smiled faintly.
"Brother Ji Chen said that he laughed, I really fell in love with it, I'm really embarrassed that I gave two thousand five"
Seeing Murong Feng's smiling appearance, Ji Chen really wanted to go over and kick him twice.
"Then each according to his ability, I will pay three thousand, if Brother Murong bids higher, then I can only congratulate you."
Ji Chen made a very regretful look, as if telling Murong Feng that this was really the last time he would increase the price.
Hearing Ji Chen's direct bid for three thousand, everyone was in an uproar, and the middle-aged man on the stage was also a little stunned.
Obviously, they didn't expect that this thing, which even they couldn't figure out, and might even be an ordinary stone, would be sold for this price!
Xiao Ran on the side looked at Ji Chen, who was so obsessed with an ordinary stone, and shook his head slightly.
She couldn't help but sigh that Ji Chen was still too immature, and she lost her mind when she was stimulated, obviously she thought that Ji Chen was competitive.
However, of course Ji Chen didn't know these thoughts, and even if he knew, he wouldn't care, and at this moment he was nervously waiting for Murong Feng's answer.
Murong Feng was actually just trying to have fun, he didn't want to spend a high price to buy such an ordinary stone.
Even if he was the first person in the younger generation of the Murong family, he couldn't hold his face, and seeing that Ji Chen really didn't want to continue to increase the price, he actually made a regretful expression and said:
"It seems that Brother Ji Chen really likes this stone, then I won't take advantage of others."
Murong Feng deliberately accentuated the word stone, as if telling Ji Chen to congratulate him on buying a broken stone for three thousand spirit stones.
Everyone in the audience looked at Ji Chen with some sympathy when they heard this, thinking that Ji Chen had been pitted too badly, and Ji Hou and the others also looked at Ji Chen like fools.
However, Ji Chen didn't think so, only he understood that the stone was definitely not simple.
"Brother, do you have so many spirit stones?" Ji Xuan'er's suspicious eyes looked Ji Chen up and down.
A wicked smile slowly appeared on Ji Chen's face, and he slowly turned his head to look at Ji Xuan'er, but his eyes never left the storage bag on Ji Xuan'er's waist.
Seeing Ji Chen's eyes staring directly at her storage bag, she hurriedly covered the storage bag and shouted in her mouth: "Robbery, robbery!"
With a turn of sight, Ji Chen and the others were coming out of the Nine Heavens Pavilion, the auction had ended at this time, and they were ready to separate here.
At this time, Ji Xuan'er was stroking her storage bag with a sad face, "You must return me!"
"Yet, by all means"
"You can't pay for it!"
"No, I guarantee with my character"
"Then you better change things to guarantee, your character ......"
"How do you speak? I'm a well-received character, right?"
......
Ji Chen comforted Ji Xuan'er all the way like this, for fear that she would go crazy, you must know that Ji Xuan'er was afraid of herself when she launched a madness.
