Chapter 170: Three Hundred Million!
Just when everyone thought that "80 million" would be the final word, another voice sounded in the same first row: "81 million." ”
The person who raised the price was none other than the Hu Sword Master Hu Xuan, who made Lynch vomit blood with a "hum" before the auction began, a master of the half-step True Realm from the Chongjiang Sword Sect.
Murong Hongji's beautiful eyes were shining, and she said loudly: "Master Hu Jian bid eighty-one million!"
Hu Xuan, as the master of the sword of the Chongjiang Sword Sect of Dapu Mountain, has superb swordsmanship and extraordinary status, and today he is here for this sword grass, how can he be easily frightened.
"100 million!"
The Lord of the Guardians once again raised the price sharply, shocking the four.
Hu Zhen's brows furrowed, and he had a headache at this strange person he had heard of, but this sword grass was too rare, and he was afraid that there would be no such shop in this village after that.
In order not to show timidity, he did not dare to hesitate, and raised the price again: "One hundred million and one million." ”
The master of the guard altar did not squint, did not even frown, and said without thinking: "One hundred and twenty million!"
Hu Ji sighed secretly in his heart, feeling that there was no hope of winning, and decided not to increase the price again, so as not to be able to shoot the baby in the end, and offend this famous weirdo.
In the end, the master of the guard successfully won the sword grass, and after the transaction was completed, he left the table directly and left in a hurry.
Murong Hongji watched the figure of the Lord of the Altar disappear, there was a trace of deep resentment hidden in the peach blossom eyes, and when the door closed with a "bang", she came back to her senses, straightened her spirits, and said loudly: "Next is the last lot of this Yecheng auction conference......
As soon as these words came out, all the cultivators present who had broken through the realm or below the realm became excited, and they all wanted to see what kind of existence this last heavy treasure at the bottom of the box was!
Among them, Lynch and Ma Ji were undoubtedly the most excited, because the last treasure was undoubtedly the huge Spirit Root Stone, which was the treasure they offered, and the proceeds of the auction would be divided equally between the two of them.
As for those half-step realm existences, they waited patiently tacitly, they already knew what the final lot was, and most of them came specifically for this object.
The old Taoist priest sitting in the middle of the three treasure protectors came to the stage, took out a cyan devouring talisman, recited a spell and cast a spell, releasing a cyan toad, with a huge mouth, and spit out the long and large spiritual root stone.
As soon as this stone was released, everyone immediately felt that the free water vapor in the field was attracted, and converged towards the stone, and after a while, a thumb-thick water flow flowed out from the tip of the stone, which was really magical.
As soon as this thing came out, it immediately caused a huge sensation, in the mountain gates or mansions that have been passed down and operated by those big sects and big families for generations, the spirit root stone may be very common, but the spirit root stone that is auctioned and traded is very rare. Not to mention ordinary Transformation Realm and Realm Breaking True Cultivators, even those half-step True Realms who had received the news in advance were shocked, but they didn't expect this Spiritual Root Stone to be of such high quality.
Murong Hongji broke the noisy admiration and discussion in the field, and said loudly: "A piece of high-grade spiritual root stone, the reserve price is thirty-five million, and each increase must not be less than one million!"
"Seventy million!"
The long-awaited Lord of Cao Qi's Mansion preemptively bid for the price, and after bidding, he stood up and smiled at the half-step realm in the first row: "Fellow Daoists, my Cao Wangfu is planning to build a new mansion recently, and I need a stone with a good spiritual root as a feng shui array. ”
Murong Hongji, as a professional auctioneer, has never seen any kind of guest, but seeing that this Cao Qi Mansion Lord is so thick-skinned, Yurong, who seems to be always smiling, can't help but show a trace of imperceptible annoyance.
Seeing that Cao Qi was relying on the name of Cao Wangfu to block their wealth, Ma Ji and Lynch hated it even more, if it was sold at this price, the loss would be big.
The vast majority of other people would not participate in this level of bidding, but seeing Cao Qi playing a scoundrel in front of everyone, they all watched it with great interest, and the game between the half-step real realm should be quite exciting.
Murong Hongji asked aloud in accordance with the auction rules: "The Lord of the Cao Mansion bid 70 million, does anyone still want to increase the price?"
"Seventy-one million!"
A woman's voice rang out.
Everyone followed the prestige, and saw that the person who raised the price was a tall woman wearing a green jade mask, she was none other than the half-step truth who was late.
People who are interested in competing for this thing are not equally idle, and they basically expect this woman to bid loudly, and in fact, they are all waiting for her to open her mouth to break the deadlock!
This woman came from other states and counties as fast as she could, and she came specifically for the Spirit Root Stone, even if she had to pay three times the price because she was late, she would insist on participating in the auction, of course, she would increase the price 100%. What's more, unlike other half-step realms, she came from far, far away, and hid her identity, so she didn't need to care about the thousand-year-old mansion of Cao Wangfu in Yecheng, let alone Cao Qi's feelings.
Cao Qi glanced at the woman, smiled, and sat down without embarrassment. With his mind, he actually thought of this layer, but he just wanted to give it a try with a hint of luck, and of course he made a fortune, and if he didn't succeed, he just lost some face, and it didn't matter.
Murong Hongji smiled happily and said to the jade-faced woman: "Due to the rules of the auction house, the concubine must emphasize to the Taoist friend again, because the Taoist friend is late, and he arrived after the half-time, no matter what is auctioned, it has been settled by three times the auction price, if 71 million is auctioned, 213 million will be paid, and the other prices are the same algorithm." ”
The jade-faced woman nodded simply, in response.
Seeing this situation, several people secretly breathed a sigh of relief, if Cao Qi was allowed to use the name of Cao Wangfu to take away this thing at a low price of 70 million, it would be too cheap for him.
With the first bird, other bidders followed one after another, and the sound of bidding was endless, and the vast majority of the half-step real realm participated in the bidding, and even a few of the broken realms with some origins also had the courage to increase the price a few times, and the price soon exceeded 100 million, and continued to rise steadily.
"160 million!"
Cao Qiyi gritted his teeth, raised the price directly from 150 million to 160 million, and then stood up again, and said to the half-step true realm of everyone in the first row: "A few Taoist friends, the existence of the spiritual root stone is a treasure derived from the creation of heaven and earth, the source of blessing is deep and wide, rooted in one place, it can benefit future generations, and it will not be exhausted in a hundred previous generations. This spiritual root stone is dedicated to the Yecheng auction house for auction, and the first floor of the treasure building to benefit a domain has been the purpose since ancient times, and this thing should be owned by the local Yecheng in order to benefit the people of Yecheng. I, Cao Wangfu, are immediately going to open up a new mansion in the ancient land of Yinhelou and build the Yinhe Academy, which is dedicated to the young students of Ye Di to study and cultivate, and I really need this thing to become a good feng shui array. I hope that you will look at the face of King Cao's Mansion and the face of the people of Yecheng, and give this thing to Zaixia, and be grateful below!"
But everyone who participated in the bidding scolded Cao Qi for being shameless in their hearts, but they didn't dare to say it, at most their expressions were ugly. They are all competing for this thing on behalf of the forces behind them, and they will only focus on the interests of the forces they belong to, how can they consider the people of Yecheng, not to mention that the reason why this Cao Qi said such high-sounding words is not at all out of sincerity, or for the interests of Cao Wangfu.
Seeing that everyone was silent, Cao Qi turned his head to Murong Hongji, who was sulking on the stage, and said, "You said yes! ”
"I ...... This ......"
Murong Hongji was stunned, she even forgot to put out her smiling face, her tongue seemed to be knotted, and she didn't know how to reply for a while.
At this moment, the high-crowned Confucian among the three treasure protectors stood up, walked up to the stage step by step, faced everyone, and said loudly in a tone that could not be ignored: "The benefit of the first floor is indeed the eternal purpose of the Treasure Building, and my Yecheng Treasure Building must be followed. Since the lord of Cao Qifu said that the photograph of this thing was for the benefit of the people of Yecheng, the Yecheng Treasure Building must have something to say. That's good, but if the lord of Cao Qifu asks for the price, the price will rise by 30 million. Now you ask for 160 million, which is equivalent to 190 million, and if you can successfully auction it, it will still be settled at 160 million. ”
When Cao Qi heard this, he was overjoyed, and hurriedly bowed to the Confucian scholar: "The late life represents Cao Wangfu, on behalf of the people of Yecheng, thank you Mr. Teng Jing." ”
The Confucian man smiled: "I'm not busy, if you can shoot it, thank me for not being late." In addition, if this thing is returned to you, I, as the person who said it today, will see if you will do what you say, if what you do is not in line with today's words, I will go to Cao Wangfu to ask for an explanation. ”
Cao Qi hurriedly bowed his head and said respectfully: "If you can get the treasure, you will definitely not disappoint Mr. Teng Jing." ”
The Confucian nodded, returned to his original position, and the auction continued.
Murong Hongji cleaned up his color and said loudly: "The Lord of the Cao Mansion bid 160 million, and the false price is 190 million, does anyone still want to increase the price?"
"Two hundred million!"
The jade-faced woman immediately responded.
This woman's asking price of 200 million is already a super high number, and her actual settlement price is three times that of 600 million! Everyone present was amazed, this woman's family background is really rich, and her shot is really domineering!
"Two hundred and ten million!"
The middle-aged man known as the Lord of the White Mountain suddenly participated in the bidding.
"Two hundred and fifteen million!"
The curling scholar who was reclining on the curly-haired demon tiger finally woke up from his sleep and began to join in the fun.
"Two hundred and twenty million!"
The Lord of the White Mountain almost rushed to the Dao.
"Two hundred and twenty-five million!"
The curling scholar followed closely with a tacit understanding.
Cao Qi's face was gloomy, and he knew in his heart that the reason why these two people followed one after another was because they were afraid of giving themselves a chance, and they would raise the price by 30 million at once, causing them to spend more money in vain.
He snorted coldly in his heart, he was not in a hurry, and waited patiently, when the curling scholar bid 24 million, he seized the opportunity and said loudly: "250 million!"
As soon as this offer came out, the curling scholar lazily raised the kettle to drink, and the white mountain lord was expressionless and looked unmoved.
Without waiting for Murong Hongji to speak, the jade-faced woman directly increased the price and said, "Two hundred and eighty-one million." ”
When Cao Qi heard this, his body couldn't help shrinking, he sighed lightly, and his face turned gloomy, obviously, 250 million was already his last offer.
The curling scholar lazily raised the price: "Two hundred and eighty-two million!"
The Lord of the White Mountain said without concessions: "Two hundred and eighty-three million." ”
......
Everyone understands that the price has been increased to such a high level, even if it is a half-step realm with a huge amount of money, it should be hollowed out, and the auction has reached the most critical moment, and it only needs to exceed one million to determine the winner.
"Two hundred and ninety million!"
The jade-faced woman did not relent, and raised the price again.
"Two hundred and ninety-one million. ”
"Two hundred and ninety-two million. ”
The White Mountain Lord and the Curling Scholar clenched at the back.
"Three hundred million!"
Suddenly, without warning, a strange and familiar voice sounded.
Everyone in the venue, one by one, looked at a young man wearing a mask, and almost everyone was shocked.
This teenager is none other than Lynch!
