Chapter 5: Two Hundred Great Martial Venerables are in hand
The starfall ore is actually not the scientific name of the ore that is being auctioned at the moment. In this world, it is common to see meteorites outside the sky, dragging long fire meteors and falling into this world from the boundless void.
These extraterrestrial meteorites often contain substances that are not found in this world, and they are something that all craftsmen and puppeteers are very passionate about. Because the minerals carried by these extraterrestrial meteorites are often different, there is no unified statement, so there is such a vague general term as star meteorite ore.
Right now, this piece of star meteorite ore is six feet long, three feet wide, and nearly two feet high, and it takes the joint efforts of the four female cultivators of the Forging Body Realm to move it, which is extremely heavy to think about. It's just that Long Yuan Pavilion obviously didn't understand what the material was made of this starfall ore, which made the big guys who participated in this auction a little hesitant.
Most of the starfall ores that can pass through the boundless void and finally fall to the ground will not be garbage, but the starting price of ten low-grade spirit stones is definitely not cheap. Using ten low-grade spirit stones or a hundred Yuanyang Dan to buy a piece of starfall ore of unknown material, among these big guys here, not many people can afford such a risk.
Although the Dali Dynasty was a dynasty of monks, there were countless monks in the territory, but the main currency was still mainly gold and silver, and the spirit stone was generally exchanged for huàn heavenly treasures or some divine weapons and elixirs, even monks, and it was rarely used as currency.
After all, the aura contained in the spirit stone could be refined and absorbed by the monks. And the Yuanyang Dan, which has the same effect, has naturally become a substitute for the lower grade spirit stone. The aura contained in ten Yuanyang Pills can almost have two-thirds of a low-grade spirit stone. However, because the pill was easier to absorb and refine, everyone tacitly agreed to the equivalence of ten Yuanyang pills and a low-grade spirit stone.
"Nine Rank Star Meteorite Ore, starting at ten lower grade spirit stones or one hundred Yuanyang Pills, is there a need?"
The steward asked three times in succession, but there was no bid on the spot, he shook his head, and was about to open his mouth to announce this starfall ore school.
At this moment, in a box on the third floor, a voice suddenly came: "Ten lower grade spirit stones." ”
The steward was in good spirits, but soon became listless again, for there were no bidders at all after the man had placed his bid in the box.
"Jiupin Star Meteorite Ore, ten lower-grade spirit stones at auction price, congratulations to this guest in the box. The steward announced the results in a process-like manner, and then someone carried the starfall ore away and handed it over to the buyer in the box on the third floor.
The second lot was quickly placed on the dragon carved wooden table, which was a nine-grade long knife, the blade of which was seven feet and one inch long, made of a century-old black iron smelting star meteorite ore. The craftsman who refined this knife was originally going to make it into a human-level weapon, but due to a mistake in operation, it was only refined into a nine-rank weapon.
But even so, the Jiupin Blade was also an expensive bestseller in the Dali Dynasty, and it was often priceless. Otherwise, Longyuan Pavilion would not have been put up for auction.
The starting price was five lower-grade spirit stones, and it didn't take long for them to be called one hundred and nine Yuanyang Pills, and this price was obviously still some distance from the final auction price.
"Ten low-grade spirit stones, buy a piece of nine-grade star meteorite ore that you don't know the material, you are really a loser!" In the box, Liu Shishi looked at the nine-grade star meteorite in front of her, and rolled her eyes at Meng Siao a little angrily.
"Hehe, let me tell you, this one, we definitely made a fortune!" Meng Siao stretched out his hand to feel a faint trace of energy coming out of this Jiupin Star Meteorite, and smiled very happily on his face.
Star Crystallization -
This is the real scientific name of this Jiupin Star meteorite ore, at least, in the text description of the "Great Wuzun System", it is called this name.
This is a new feature that Meng Siao has just discovered, and if anything is seen by his eyes when he opens the illusory screen of the "Great Martial Venerable System", it will show its explanatory text on this illusory screen, just like those things placed in the Duhuàn area.
And this piece of ore called Star Crystal, the real grade is not the ninth grade identified by Longyuan Pavilion, but the general rank!
Such a large piece of star crystal, if you find a skilled craftsman, it is enough to use other materials to refine ten sets of general-level battle armor! And one set of general-level battle armor can also sell at least three hundred and fifty lower-grade spirit stones! This sum is simply a double profit!
"Do you recognize?" Liu Shishi looked at him suspiciously.
Meng Siao smiled a little unfathomably: "Anyway, you can rest assured, just this piece of star meteorite ore, if you sell it to an expert who understands the goods, it will be enough to buy all the other things in today's auction!"
"Really?" Liu Shishi obviously didn't believe it.
Meng Siao didn't explain, he looked at the nine-grade long knife that was being called for under his eyes, and lightly reported a number: "Twenty low-grade spirit stones." ”
The broadmen who were still raising prices with each other were silenced at this time.
It's just a nine-grade weapon, and it's not a human rank, and it sells for seventeen lower-grade spirit stones and twenty pieces of low-grade spirit stones?
A few sharp-eyed people saw Meng Siao standing there through the window of the box on the third floor. Suddenly, those who were still a little skeptical about this long knife were all relieved.
Meng Wushao, the number one gentleman in the Beijing Division, has always only bought expensive ones and not the right ones, and twenty lower grade spirit stones to buy a nine-grade weapon, this is probably the most undefeated deal he has ever made.
Some people who wanted to fight for it were also dumbfounded after being told that this was something that Meng Wushao had a crush on. For the sake of a nine-grade weapon, offending the fifth young master of the dignified Protector Mansion, no matter how stupid the fool is, he knows that this deal is not cost-effective.
The steward asked three times in a row, and when he saw that no one was bidding again, he was about to announce the result.
At this time, in a box on the third floor, a sneer came out: "Twenty-five lower grade spirit stones!"
The house was in an uproar.
Twenty low-grade spirit stones have already exceeded the value of this long knife itself, and as for twenty-five, as long as they are not fools, they can hear that this is deliberately raising the price.
Deliberately raising the price with the fifth young master of the Protector's Mansion? Damn, is this a greasy taste?
At this time, people with a heart have already discovered that the box where the price was raised at the last moment was the box where Qian Jiadi, the third young master of the Xingguo Mansion, one of the four princes, was located.
Suddenly, there was a sense of relief again.
The disagreement between the Duke of Huguo and the Duke of Wu Guo has long been known to everyone in the entire Dali Dynasty. Among the four dukes, the Zhuge family of Anguo Gong and the Meng family intersected inexorably, and the Qian family of Xingguo Gong, who later ascended to the throne, came together with the Shentu family.
Qian Jiadi raised the price of Meng Siao, do you need a reason?
The answer, of course, is obvious.
"Thirty lower-grade spirit stones. Meng Siao walked to the window and sneered at the box where the voice came, "Qian Jiadi, you poor bastard, don't pretend to be wide in front of this young master." If you kind of you, you will continue to bargain, but be careful, in case you call a price that you can't afford, and Young Master Ben won't follow, you are ready to be pants!
When everyone heard this, they all wiped a cold sweat.
actually called Qian Jiadi poor......
Who here doesn't know that the reason why the Qian family was able to leap from the original tenth family to the rank of the four princes was because they had mastered two spiritual stone veins that no one had discovered! It was precisely by virtue of the wealth of this rich and rival country and the original family heritage that Qian Juzheng, the head of the family of this generation, would be given the title of Duke of Xingguo by His Majesty Liu Xuanzong, the current son of the Shengming Emperor and Emperor Shengming, in recognition of their great contribution to the treasury of the Dali Dynasty.
However, now, Meng Siao actually called the third young master of the Qian family poor......
Is this a group mockery?
If Qian Jiadi is poor, is there anyone here who dares to say that he is rich......
However, in the face of Meng Siao's undisguised ridicule, the box where Qian Jiadi was just snorted coldly, and there was no follow-up.
Once again, everyone here was shocked!
Is this Qian Jiadi so soft in the face of the five young men of the Meng family? This is not scientific! Who does not know that the Qian family has never made concessions in order to hug the thighs of the Wuguo Gong Shen Tu family, as long as it is against the Meng family.
What's going on today? Could it be that the sun is coming out in the west?
The fire of gossip in the hearts of the people is called a raging fire. Whether it is Meng Siao or Qian Jiadi, they are not comparable to these big guys. Everyone can only suppress their curiosity in their hearts, one by one like a cat scratching, not to mention how heartburn it is.
After Meng Siao bid for thirty lower grade spirit stones, the steward asked three more times as usual, and after asking for the third time, he deliberately waited for a while, and saw that no one finally made a bid, so the result was announced.
At that moment, someone took this Jiupin Treasure Knife and went to the third floor to complete the transaction with Meng Siao and them.
"Thirty lower-grade spirit stones, buy a knife with only nine grades, you really don't treat the old lady's spirit stone as a spirit stone!" After the subordinate person went out with thirty lower-grade spirit stones, Liu Shishi casually picked up the long knife and waved it twice, then threw the knife aside.
Nine Ranks, this is already a very powerful weapon in the eyes of many monks, but for the princess, what is the Nine Ranks, what are the Nine Ranks? Aren't all below the human level all rubbish.
"Big mountain. Meng Siao didn't defend anything, just walked over and picked up the long knife and threw it to Meng Dashan, "Take your human-level long sword and slash it against this knife." Remember, with all your might. ”
"Yes, young master!" Meng Dashan held a knife in his left hand and a sword in his right hand, his whole body's spiritual power was drumming, and his hands slammed into each other.
A sonorous sound suddenly sounded in the box, and even a firelight bloomed from Meng Dashan's hands.
Zhuge Fei looked at it fixedly, and was immediately dumbfounded.
The collision between the Nine-Rank Sword in Meng Dashan's left hand and the Human-Rank Middle-grade Long Sword in his right hand was actually not cut off! Not to mention that it was cut off, there was not even a gap!
"This ...... Is this still considered a ninth grade?" Zhuge Fei was a little stupid.
"The killing knife, the super nine grades, the tenacity Cheng dù is not below the peak of the human ladder. It's just that when this knife was refining, there was a little problem, and it failed to bring the characteristics of a magic weapon. Otherwise, this is definitely a high-grade sword like a fake!" Meng Siao pretended to be light-hearted, in fact, he was just reading from the text on the illusory screen.
"I'll go! I'm an honest man, don't lie to me. Zhuge Fei rushed up with an arrow step, and he was about to snatch the long knife in Meng Dashan's hand.
Meng Siao nodded at his number one thug, who gave up the knife to Zhuge Fei.
Zhuge Fei took the knife, turned back and forth, suddenly pulled out the saber at his waist, and slashed towards the blade.
There was another sonorous sound, accompanied by a spark, from the box.
"Good knife!" Looking at the blade that was not damaged at all, Zhuge Fei couldn't believe it this time. His sword, but like a fake, the pinnacle of the human rank, is not a top-grade, but a masterpiece!
"Thirty low-grade spirit stones, it's not expensive. Meng Siao looked at Liu Shishi with a cheap smile on his face.
"Forget you!" Liu Shishi wrinkled her nose at him, and she was also surprised in her heart.
It is true that she likes Meng Siao, but she also knows exactly what kind of goods this future husband is. I received a report from Meng Xiaoshan today, she originally brought a spirit stone to Meng Siao's loser. But I didn't expect this guy to really be able to pick up leaks in front of everyone.
This long knife, although it does not have the characteristics of a human-level magic weapon, is not inferior in texture to a human-level masterpiece. If the price is clearly marked, no matter what, this price will have to be doubled, or even triple and sell for a hundred spirit stones, it is not a difficult task.
Could it be that the value of the starmeteorite ore he just said was not nonsense?
When Liu Shishi was full of questions, Meng Siao began to bargain again.
However, the next auction finally proved that Meng Wushao's reputation as a gentleman and a loser was not in vain. One by one, he kept buying them at prices higher than the market price, and during this time, Qian Jiadi only raised the price once, and suffered a big loss. Because of his price increase, Meng Siao didn't follow at all, so he spent thirty more low-grade spirit stones than the market price, and bought something he didn't need at all.
After this time, whenever Meng Siao asked for a price, the goods would only be raised within the market price range at most, and as soon as the market price was exceeded, the box where Qian Jiadi was located would be cowardly. This made everyone present shake their heads for a while, and secretly sighed that Qian Jiadi lost points.
Only Qian Jiadi knew that the one who was sitting with Meng Siao now was the only daughter of the current virtuous king. Fighting with the princess to get rich, then he is the real ****.
In the second half of the entire auction, Meng Siao picked up another leak and bought a piece of emperor-level heart jade wrapped in a human grade material at a very low price. Until the end of the auction, Liu Shishi brought out the five hundred lower-grade spirit stones that made him loser, and only the last three were left.
Even Zhuge Fei had to sigh that "the five young people are really gods".
However, Liu Shishi just said "virtue", and returned to the palace in the carriage empty-handed, which made Zhuge Fei's eyes dripping with envy and jealousy.
Meng Siao's defeat of his father-in-law's family wealth this trip can be said to have gained a lot. Not to mention the first-level star crystal, which was the value of the Emperor-level Heart Water Jade wrapped in the human-level Heart Cultivation Jade, which was seven or eight times the spirit stone he lost.
What's more, this time the loser finally let him get a reward of two hundred martial arts points!
