Chapter Twenty-Seven: Ancestors! (Thank you brothers for your support!)
"Wait. ”
Just when the arrow was wound and ready to be launched, Xia Hu's right hand was raised sharply and said in a cold voice.
The crossbow archers dormant in the sky suddenly stopped after hearing Xia Hu's answer.
Xiao Xuan had instructed them before, until the last resort, don't release arrows, just bluff them.
After all, the main task today is the auction.
Xia Hu snorted coldly, turned around, and said lightly: "Put down the sword and return to your seat." Today we are coming for the other side of the flower, and other things are put aside for the time being. ”
"Yes!"
When they heard this, they put their swords in their sheaths and returned to their seats.
"If Patriarch Xia had understood this truth earlier, this farce would have been avoided. ”
Xiao Zhen laughed, as if he didn't care about what he had done before.
Hearing this, Xiao Xuan's right hand waved again, and the crossbow archer disappeared above the roof in an instant, as if it had never appeared.
Xia Hu snorted coldly, he knew that he was wrong, and he stopped talking.
Everyone on the field wiped their sweat.
Admittedly, this scene just scared them.
Imagine if those crossbow arrows were shot at you, you would be shot into a sieve in an instant.
Not only are there masters in charge, but there are also hidden arrows to prevent them, and the protection measures of this Xiao family are really very meticulous.
"Hehe, the preliminary price of the Zengling Pill is set at five taels of gold, so let's start with the price. ”
Xiao Zhen's eyes scanned the audience and said with a smile.
"Six taels. ”
"Seven taels. ”
.......
The scramble continued again for a moment, and the voice finally weakened.
At this time, Xia Hu, who had not yet spoken, said lightly: "Fifteen taels." ”
As soon as the shouting price fell, the voices in the field suddenly quieted down, and they were all suppressed by the sudden high price.
Some people looked at Xia Hu, who was indifferent, shook their heads helplessly, and sat back in frustration. Fifteen taels of gold had already surpassed their bottom line, and they couldn't compete with a big family like the Xia family at all.
Besides, their purpose was the Flower of the Other Side, not the Elixir of Enhancement.
It is clearly not a wise decision to spend money now.
"Patriarch Xia bid fifteen taels of gold, but there are still people who continue to increase the price?"
Looking at the suddenly quiet field, Xiao Zhen asked lightly.
"Since there is no one to increase the price, then this spirit pill belongs to the Xia patriarch. ”
Seeing that no one raised the price, Xiao Zhen also accepted it when he saw it, and the small hammer in his hand gently knocked on the table to determine the buyer.
Xiao Xuan frowned, it seems that he will have to be more careful when he meets Xia Li in the future.
Xia Hu took a lot of money, and it must have been left to Xia Li.
"Hehe, next, is the bottom of the box auction of this auction. ”
Putting away the Enhancement Pill, Xiao Zhen smiled and took out a jade box from his arms that was even more mysterious than before.
In the jade box, there is a bewitching petal.
The petals are charming, like a hibiscus out of the water, and there are faint spiritual power fluctuations around it, which is quite mysterious.
The faint fragrance of flowers wafted through the auction room, and when they breathed in the fragrance of flowers with extremely strong spiritual power, everyone's breathing became rapid.
"The god flower of the foundation building period, the flower of the other side. ”
As soon as the flowers on the other side came out, there was a sudden silence in the auction hall.
Compared with the previous Zengling Pill, the sensation caused by the Flower on the Other Side was undoubtedly greater.
Although the elixir is precious, it can only be used for a while.
However, the other side of the flower has a half chance that everyone will rise to the next level during the foundation building period!
The foundation building period is the beginning of cultivation. The difficulty of its cultivation is even greater than that of the subsequent spiritual attraction period. Each layer of cultivation may take several years.
Time is the most valuable asset. The flower on the other side that can reduce years of cultivation and allow people to quickly break through the bottleneck is enough to make anyone in the foundation building period crazy!
After being shocked for a moment, some people in the venue came back to their senses one after another, with a pair of fiery eyes, staring at the bewitching petals on the stage.
"Hey, if it weren't for the situation, I would have waited until the sixth floor of the foundation to eat the flowers on the other side. ”
Scanning the Xia family without leaving a trace, a touch of coldness appeared in Xiao Xuan's eyes.
If it weren't for the black ring, I'm afraid I would have died in the hands of Xia Li long ago.
Quietly touching the black ring, Xiao Xuan's heart tightened, and he suddenly thought of the deep greed that emerged in Xia Li's eyes that day.
"It seems that we will have to be careful in the future. ”
pursed his lips and muttered to Xiao Xuan.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this flower on the other side was obtained by a child in the mountains, and he risked his life to snatch two petals from the mouth of a poisonous spider. ”
Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but pout, there were only two pieces of deceit.
However, now the Xiao family can bear the pain and throw a piece, but it makes some people who originally had the idea of the Xiao family retract their thoughts.
They knew that the Xiao family was forced to throw out a piece of land due to external pressure, and if they were still not satisfied and continued to exert pressure, they were afraid that they would not let the Xiao family compromise again, but would meet the anger of the Xiao family.
A month ago, Xiao'er only broke through the fifth layer of the foundation, and now because of the flowers on the other side, he has reached the sixth layer of the foundation. ”
Xiao Zhen smiled, and then set his eyes on Xiao Xuan.
Everyone on the field turned their eyes and looked at Xiao Xuan, who was lying in the back row like an uncle, trying to observe the fluctuations of his spiritual power to see if what Xiao Zhen said was false.
Looking at the people who looked at him like a national treasure, Xiao Xuan smiled helplessly.
As soon as his mind moved, the spiritual power in his body flowed rapidly, and the momentum of the sixth layer of the foundation emanated.
"Sure enough, we have reached the sixth floor of the foundation!"
There was a burst of exclamations from the audience, although they had known that the flowers on the other side would not be fake, but it was confirmed again that they were still very excited.
"Patriarch Xiao, hurry up and make an offer!" someone in the audience shouted impatiently.
A sly smile appeared on the handsome face, and Xiao Zhen smiled and said, "The other side of the flower, the auction reserve price, twenty taels of gold." ”
As soon as this sky-high price came out, the venue was much quieter again.
Obviously, this kind of price will be extinguished in the eyes of many people present.
Moreover, this is only a floor price.
Xiao Xuan's eyes narrowed slightly, although he knew that the price of the flowers on the other side would not be low, but the reserve price was set at twenty taels of gold, which was really beyond his imagination.
The financial resources are as strong as their Xiao family, and their annual income is only five hundred taels of silver, that is, fifty taels of gold.
The reason is that Yecheng is too remote, and the overall consumption level is not high.
In addition, although there are mountains here, there are not many spiritual flowers and exotic plants, and almost all of the income comes from the medicinal materials and weapons sold in their own markets.
It was so poor that even the imperial court was reluctant to set up an official residence here.
Unprofitable, what to do?
When Xia Hu heard this, his face also trembled, and it was not easy to secretly use the treasure of heaven and earth to smash out excellent disciples.
But if you don't buy it, there will always be people who will buy it, and in the face of absolute interests, no one will sympathize with the weak.
Under the sky-high price of twenty taels, the scene was slightly cold.
Faced with a slightly cold situation, Xiao Zhen's expression did not change in the slightest, and he still smiled. He is well aware of the attraction of the flowers.
In this world, strength is respected, and if money cannot be converted into strength, it is just a pile of scrap metal.
Some people are afraid that even if they go bankrupt, they will have to take it into their pockets.
After all, excellent disciples are the future of the family.
As he expected, the cold field had not lasted long, and Xiao Xuan had a fat man with a big belly trembling and quoted the price:
"Twenty-one taels. ”
Xiao Xuan knew this person, this was a famous weapon dealer in Ye City, and the weapons he forged were called good, and they were quite favored by the people of Ye City. Most of the swords sold in the two markets of Xiao Xia were also purchased from him.
"Twenty-two taels. ”
Soon after the fat man's offer, an old man in gray also followed. Xiao Xuan glanced at it, this person was a famous medicinal herb merchant in Ye City.
In Yecheng, there is a profession called pharmacist.
Although the pharmacist is not as noble as the alchemist, it is also indispensable, after all, illness and injury are inevitable.
The pharmacist will prescribe medicine to the patient, and the patient will use the prescription to go to Xiaoxia Liangfang Market to buy medicinal herbs. And the medicinal materials of the Xiao Xia family were supplied by the old man in gray, so he was also extremely wealthy.
Glancing at the old man in gray with a smile, the fat man raised the price again: "Twenty-three taels." ”
At the venue, the sound of sporadic price increases sounded intermittently, after all, with such a high price, many people were powerless and had to be discouraged.
Xia Hu squinted his eyes slightly, quietly listening to the bidding of the two people on the field.
When the two gradually couldn't support it, and the voice of the price shouting became more and more weak, he said coldly: "Thirty taels." ”
As soon as Xia Hu shouted the price, the two softened, smiled bitterly, and stopped bidding.
Xia Hu breathed a sigh of relief, quite satisfied with the situation of who was fighting with him, just when he thought that the dust had fallen and the flower on the other side had become something in his pocket, a low voice sounded from not far away:
"Thirty taels. ”
Hiss..........
There was an uproar on the field, and they all followed the voice, and finally saw the person who made the offer from around the corner.
The man was dressed in a black robe, and he deliberately lowered his voice, obviously not wanting others to recognize him!
