Chapter Seventy-Five: The Auction of Pills
For the next five days, every day was the same, with the morning being a purgatory-like tempering of the body and the afternoon practicing the techniques.
Although Tang Rui felt like he was about to die every time he tempered his body, remembering his oath, an unknown force supported him to survive. In the afternoon, compared to the morning, it is simply easy to get home. Although he was exposed to the sun and sweated profusely, he didn't need to torture every muscle of himself after all.
In five days, Tang Rui had already reached the realm of the Three Dragons, and his speed was also increasing at the same time, which attracted the master's continuous applause.
In addition, the piano study every night is as usual, after five days, Tang Rui has played decently, he played some music tunes that he used to listen to, the master thought that this was Tang Rui's own creation, and even the shooting was amazing, and the house was about to collapse. Tang Rui was ashamed, he was just standing on the shoulders of giants.
Because of the vigorous promotion of dragon warfare, weekly timekeeping is now also implemented here. For every six days of practice, you can rest for one day.
Sunday finally arrived! This morning, the sun was all on the buttocks, and the disciples were still asleep. Although Tang Rui also wanted to sleep, a few days ago, he had already made an appointment with Senior Brother Chang Jiang to go to the market to buy some things together. Although he was reluctant in every way, he thought that "it is difficult to chase after a horse", and "the husband is true to his word...... Famous words, he still gritted his teeth and got up.
Out of the Tianhuo Gate, Tang Rui saw that there were not many people on the street, and secretly rejoiced. Who knew that the closer you got to the market, the more people came, and in the end it was already crowded.
"Chang Jiang, why are there so many people?" Tang Rui asked with a worried face as he avoided a big man who was about to collide with him.
"There is an auction of pills every day, and it is inevitable that it will be lively. Chang Jiang seemed to have long been accustomed to this kind of crowding, and he didn't care about it.
Tang Rui listened and walked, avoiding the big man on the left, but bumped into an aunt on the right, and he apologized repeatedly.
The aunt looked at him a few times, and asked in surprise, "You can't be the white-haired boy Tang Rui, right?" The aunt's exclamation attracted the attention of many people.
Tang Rui saw everyone looking at him, and scratched his head a little embarrassedly, "I am Tang Rui." When they heard this, they gathered around him and looked at him with curiosity on their faces.
The aunt's face was full of surprise, "It's really you." She patted Tang Rui on the shoulder and said earnestly: "Young man, you have to work hard and strive to become a big hero like Long Zhan!" An old man next to him said in a trembling voice: "Yes, Long Zhan is really a good person." ”
Tang Rui nodded with an embarrassed expression.
After the aunt left, the onlookers gradually dispersed. Tang Rui let out a sigh of relief, "It's really hard to be a celebrity, it's a lot of pressure." ”
Chang Jiang smiled slightly when he saw this. The two then walked forward.
"What the hell can the pill do? So many people are vying for it. Tang Rui said curiously.
"If you ask someone, you'll definitely die laughing. I've lived here for more than ten years, and I don't know what the pill can do? Forget it, who made me your nominal senior brother, just tell you. There are many types of pills, but they can be divided into two categories according to the people who use them, one is used by ordinary people, and the effects are cure, hemostasis, and longevity. The first type is used by cultivators, and the effects include rapidly increasing the vitality in the body and speeding up the cultivation speed.
The pills are divided into different grades, and the current division is one to nine grades, with one grade being the highest and nine grades being the second. The efficacy of different grades of pills varies greatly, and because of this, once a high-grade pill appears, people will flock to it. However, because there were too few high-grade alchemists, high-grade pills were very rare. Rare things are precious, and high-grade alchemists have also gained extremely high prestige, almost on a par with refiners. Chang Jiang was stunned when he saw Tang Rui hearing this, and secretly laughed.
"Being able to increase the cultivation speed is indeed quite attractive. If there were other channels, who would want to suffer from purgatory-like torture every day, thinking about it this way, it is understandable that the pill is so popular. Tang Rui muttered to himself.
"Chang Jiang, you just talked about refiners, what do you do?" Tang Rui asked with the strength to get to the bottom of the matter.
Chang Jiang shook his head helplessly, he was really hopeless, but seeing his expectant face, he finally continued: "The refiner is the person who refines weapons, armor, medicine refining furnaces and other utensils. For a cultivator, good weapons and armor can make him feel like a tiger, so everyone wants to have powerful divine weapons and top-level armor. In addition, if an alchemist wants to refine a good elixir, a top-level alchemy furnace is also indispensable, so even the highly prestigious alchemist has a lot of respect for the senior refiner, and the reputation of the refiner can be imagined. ”
"How can I become an alchemist and an alchemist?" Tang Rui continued to get to the bottom of it. Although he had heard the old man mention that becoming an alchemist required a strong control of the heat, he didn't know what conditions he needed, and he didn't know anything about the conditions for becoming an alchemist.
Chang Jiang had long expected him to ask this, and said secretly: "A good person should do it to the end, "An alchemist needs to have a fire genus in his body and a trace of wood at the same time, and there is only one person in ten thousand who has this condition, not to mention that he also needs a super fire perception, so alchemists are very rare, and there are even fewer high-grade alchemists." Refiners need to have metal in their bodies and a trace of fire, and they also need to have a strong sense of metal, and such people are also rare. ”
Tang Rui nodded, silent on the surface, but actually ecstatic in his heart. He thought: "I have nine genera in my body, and I can also control the heat, so it is absolutely no problem to become an alchemist, and as for the refiner, it should be no problem to learn it." ”
As soon as he thought that he could enter the two hot industries here, Tang Rui couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart.
Just as a carriage was passing by, he turned his head and saw Tang Rui looking demented and walking towards the middle of the road!
"Tang Rui, what do you want to be so engrossed? I don't even look at the road. Chang Jiang said angrily.
Tang Rui woke up, looked at the passing carriage, and said with palpitations: "It's nothing, it's just cranky." ”
Chang Jiang smiled: "Be careful when walking, there are too many people." ”
The two kept walking forward, and through the gap in the crowd, they could see that an auction was being held in front of them, Tang Rui was curious and squeezed forward, Chang Jiang didn't want to "join in the fun", but he still followed.
The auction has begun, and the auctioneer is a plump beauty who wears a white tight skirt with her curves exposed,** It seems to be inflated and towering high, leaning over slightly, the deep cleavage is clearly exposed, the waist of the water snake is writhing uneasily, the slender legs are slightly separated and closed, and so on, through the gap in the skirt, the white and smooth thighs are looming, the round plump buttocks are swinging around, her eyes are full of teasing and seduction, pouting red lips, the wind is coquettish, sultry, swaying, slender hands holding the mallet, swinging from side to side, the delicate appearance makes people feel soft. The male compatriots who were watching were all bright-eyed and salivating, looking like perverts.
"Thirty thousand. A richly dressed young man on the left-hand seat shouted.
The beautiful woman was overjoyed when she heard this, her red lips opened slightly, and her teeth were slightly exposed, and she immediately threw a wink at the young master, causing the onlookers behind the young man to exclaim.
"To the east, a mere nine-rank pill is worth such a high price?" Tang Rui felt that this voice was familiar when he heard it, he stood on tiptoe, and saw Geng Ying, the eldest young master of the Geng family, sitting on the seat in the middle, he changed his clothes, but he was just as luxurious and magnificent, holding a folding fan in his hand, and his style was polite.
"Hehe, Young Master Geng, Siqi has started cultivating the heavens this year, and I have to express myself as an elder brother. Xiang Dong spread his hands to express helplessness.
"Thirty-five thousand. A girl's voice rang out. When Tang Rui heard it, wasn't this Xia Bingbing's voice? He moved to the middle of the crowd, stood on tiptoe, and saw a beautiful woman sitting on the seat on the right, it was Xia Bingbing. She is wearing a purple dress today, compared with the last time the green gauze dress, she has a unique charm, and she has a light makeup on her face, which is the icing on the cake and more beautiful.
The young master of the Geng family was taken aback again, looked at Bingbing and said, "Bingbing, why can't you ......?"
"There's no way, you know, Bing Xin also started cultivating the heavens this year. Xia Bingbing said a little helplessly.
When Tang Rui heard it, Bingxin, Xia Bingxin, this should be the name of the girl who looks like her, they are really sisters.
Young Master Geng said secretly: It seems that we are going to make a bloody investment today. He "brushed" the folding fan and said while fanning: "There is only one of you, but I have two, and Yu'er and Geng Xiong have also begun to cultivate the sky." I am bound to get this elixir. Forty thousand. ”
The beauty in white was so happy when she heard the words that she couldn't close her mouth, throwing her eyes and twisting her hips. Geng Ying turned a blind eye. But the onlookers behind him feasted their eyes and applauded again and again.
Xiang Dong said without hesitation: "Fifty thousand!"
Before the white-clothed beauty could turn around, Geng Ying waved her fan and said, "Sixty thousand!"
The beautiful woman in white faced Geng Ying, and there was another teasing, and the male compatriots on the left and right sides sharpened their heads and looked at the middle, their eyes as if they were going to eat the beauty.
Tang Rui happened to be standing in the center, and when he saw her charming look, he couldn't help but feel distracted, and said secretly: This woman is really good at teasing. He began to admire Geng Ying a little, he was so close that he could still sit still.
Xia Bingbing finally made a move, "Seventy thousand!" When the beautiful woman in red heard this, she turned around and smiled at Bingbing.
Xiang Dong waved his hand, "Eighty thousand!"
Tang Rui was stunned when he heard this, a nine-grade pill can be fried for 80,000 yuan, the pill is really valuable! His desire to become an alchemist is even stronger.
But the auction is not over yet, Geng Ying frowned slightly, and said loudly: "Eighty-five thousand!"
Xia Bingbing also frowned slightly when she saw this, and said secretly: It seems that Geng Ying has really made up his mind, let the two of them fight, and give Bingxin a gift, I will find a way.
Xiang Dong saw that Xia Bingbing didn't move, and knew that she had decided to quit, so he also hesitated, "Geng Ying is really hard-hearted, okay, I'll add it again, if he continues to add it, I'll give up, spend more than 90,000 yuan to buy a Jiupin pill, it's really not worth it." The idea has been decided, and he said quietly: "Ninety thousand!"
Geng Ying was not a fool, he saw that Xiang Dong was obviously hesitant to raise the price this time, and knew that this was the last time he would ask for the price. "If I add more, it will be more than worth the loss. He closed the fan and said nothing.
The beauty in white saw that the other two parties were not shouting, and knew that it was coming to an end, so she said coquettishly: "Ninety thousand once, ninety thousand twice." She paused, saw that Geng Ying and Xia Bingbing had no reaction, and finally said: "Ninety thousand three times!" Yushou picked up the mallet and smashed it hard, "Deal!"
Xiang Dong didn't expect Geng Ying to follow again, thinking that he had spent 90,000 yuan to buy a Jiupin Pill, he couldn't help but feel distressed, but his face was still calm.
Geng Ying got up and arched his hand towards Xiang Dong: "Young Master Xiang Dong, congratulations, you still got such a precious pill in the end." ”
Xiang Dong also returned the salute, but he was secretly scolding in his heart.
Xia Bingbing stood up and was about to turn around to leave, when she suddenly saw a white head in a black crowd, she looked closely, and saw that the person turned out to be Tang Rui, who she had met on the street before. Following his gaze, she found that at this moment, Tang Rui's eyes were staring at the upturned buttocks of the beautiful woman in white, completely ignoring her. She couldn't help but feel a little jealous in her heart, and then blushed again, and muttered secretly: "He looks at other women, what does it matter to me? What kind of jealousy do I eat?"
She misunderstood Tang Rui this time, Tang Rui was not staring at the plump buttocks, but staring at the mallet in the hand of the beautiful woman. He thought to himself: If I were an alchemist, as soon as the gavel fell, a large amount of money would be in my hands at this moment, and this money would be really easy to earn, just what I wanted! I would definitely become an alchemist! Refining high-grade pills and earning him a lot of money, it would be much more convenient to do things, and it would be easier to find Uncle Long and Kexin with the appeal of the alchemist! Okay, refine the goal: Become a high-level alchemist, so that it is easy to find Uncle Long and Kexin. Collect all nine Heavenly Stones at the same time, so that you can save Uncle Long!
The path he has to take next is already very clear! Tang Rui thought of this, his eyes lit up in an instant, and his spirit was greatly lifted!
But in Xia Bingbing's eyes, it became: he was excited to see the beautiful woman in white bending over and revealing her deep cleavage. Since then, in her heart, Tang Rui's image has become a big pervert who will salivate in the face of any beauty. Tang Rui didn't know it, and he was immersed in his own sweet dream. Xia Bingbing looked at him stupidly, angry and angry, stomped his feet, and turned to leave.
Seeing this, Geng Ying thought that she was angry because she didn't photograph the pill, so she hurriedly followed.
When the auction ended, everyone was still unsatisfied, but they had to disperse.
