Chapter 45: Red Flame Fruit
"Eight hundred and fifty thousand taels!" From another box on the third floor, a loud shout suddenly came, interrupting Huang Puxi's countdown.
Gongsun Rong frowned, and looked sideways at the bidding box.
"Hmph, it's actually from the Nangong family!"
It is none other than the Nangong family who has a new grudge against the Gongsun family who continues to bid!
"Nine hundred thousand taels!" Gongsun Rong continued to say in a deep voice.
"Nine hundred and fifty thousand taels!" the voice from the Nangong family did not hesitate at all.
"One million taels!"
"One hundred and fifty thousand taels!"
"One million and one hundred thousand taels!"
"One hundred and fifty thousand taels!"
The Gongsun family and the Nangong family competed in the auction. Fifty thousand taels and fifty thousand taels will be added upward, and no one will add more, and no one will retreat.
In just a blink of an eye, the price came to 1.35 million taels.
The bids on both sides are shouting more and more urgently, and the shouting is getting faster and faster, which is completely a thoughtless bid. Even Huang Puxi's expression was tinged with a hint of discoloration.
Gongsun Rong frowned, and continued without pause: "One hundred and forty thousand taels!"
"One million four hundred and fifty thousand taels!" Nangong Jia quickly answered.
Zhou Hao's brows were also slightly frowned, he reached out and grabbed a piece of white paper, wrote a number on it, and handed it to Gongsun Rong.
Gongsun Rong saw the numbers on the paper, his eyes suddenly widened, his surprise was overflowing, his mind turned slightly, and he instantly understood Zhou Hao's intentions.
"Three and a half million taels!" Gongsun Rong shouted out the price, and even his heart was raised to his throat.
"Three million five hundred and fifty thousand taels!" As soon as Gongsun Rong's voice fell, the voice of the Nangong family sounded without hesitation.
Gongsun Rong took a long breath at this time, pressed his beating heart, and laughed loudly: "Hahaha, congratulations to this benevolent brother of the Nangong family, this bottle of Gathering Spirit Pill is yours!"
"Oh, I don't, I don't!"
In the box of Nangong's house, the voice that had been competing with Gongsun Rong suddenly became sharp and hasty.
The entire auction hall was buzzing. A bottle of Gathering Spirit Pill is worth 800,000 taels if it tops the sky. And now it is actually auctioned for a sky-high price of nearly 3.55 million taels, which is even more than double the price of a spiritual weapon! Everyone looked at the box where Nangong's house was located in amazement.
Huang Puxi's expression that had been indifferent also flashed with a smile: "One bottle of Gathering Spirit Pill, three million and five hundred and fifty thousand taels for the first time!"
"Three million five hundred and fifty thousand taels for the second time!"
"Three million five hundred and fifty thousand taels for the third time!"
The Nangong family and Gongsun Rong soared the price, and it was Nangong Yuan, the hall master of the Luocheng Annex. At the behest of Nangong Yu, he raised the price of the Gathering Spirit Pill all the way, wanting to embarrass the Gongsun family.
How do you know that stealing chickens will not make you lose rice! A full 3.55 million taels of silver, he Nangong Yuan is bankrupt and doesn't know if he can buy it!
Nangong Yuan's face was pale, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, he sat down on the chair, looking at Nangong Yu with pleading eyes, hoping that Nangong Yu, who was high above, would lend a helping hand.
At this time, Nangong Yu was also annoyed, slapped the armrest of the chair fiercely, and roared: "Fool! Fool! This seat has lost all your face! You have to carry this black pot yourself, don't think that this seat will make a copper plate for you!"
Nangong Yuan's whole person suddenly went limp, his hands and feet were cold, and his eyes were dull and he muttered: "Three and a half million taels, three and a half million taels!"
In the box of Gongsun's house, at this time, everyone was smiling, Gongsun Rong stretched out his hand to wipe away the cold sweat on his forehead, and said with palpitations: "Zhou Xiaoyou, your plan is too dangerous, it's too dangerous, for my brother, I still have weak legs and feet! If the people of the Nangong family hesitate a little, they will have to go bankrupt for their brother!"
Zhou Hao smiled: "It's the person who bets on his Nangong family, and he will bid according to his customary surname without thinking!"
Gongsun Fu looked at Zhou Hao with a smile: "One and three, it's just a word difference, but the people of the Nangong family are fooled! Zhou Xiaoyou not only grasped the psychology of the Nangong family, but also this gambling surname is also quite big!"
Zhou Hao replied: "Hehe, the Nangong family has suffered a loss, and the Huangpu family has taken advantage! In the end, there is still nothing, now that I think about it, this bet is not worth it!"
Gongsun Fu laughed and said: "As long as you can see his Nangong family deflated, even if he really takes out three million taels of silver, the old man will be happy!"
Zhou Hao was dumbfounded for a while, could it be that Lingwu Xiu was really so rich? Three million taels of silver, it seemed that he could take it out casually.
The auction continued, and the third lot, a Lingwu cultivation exercise, was sold for 1.2 million yuan.
The next auction items are not as valuable as the first three.
The auction house arranged this way to heat up the atmosphere of the whole auction with three extremely valuable auction items, so that the subsequent lots could be auctioned all the way to a high price.
Zhou Hao was not too interested in pills, equipment, exercises, etc., and even after getting the three talismans, he was not very interested in talismans. The only thing he could look forward to was the elixir.
But until the tenth lot, there was still not a single elixir.
It wasn't until the eleventh lot that it was the elixir's turn.
This is a Red Flame Fruit!
I saw Huang Puxi holding a sandalwood box, presenting the fist-sized, crimson Zhu Guo in the box in front of everyone, and introduced: "The eleventh lot is an extremely rare red flame fruit. This Red Flame Fruit only grows in the earth fire lava, which is extremely rare, if it is refined into the Red Flame Pill, it will have the effect of enhancing the cultivation of martial artists and low-level spiritual martial cultivators. ”
Huang Puxi's words changed: "It's just that this Red Flame Fruit contains a huge amount of fire poison. It must be supplemented by the two spiritual grasses of the Cold Ice Grass and the One Leaf Flower to neutralize the fire poison in order to have any hope of refining the Red Flame Pill. ”
When everyone heard this, their interest immediately decreased. Extremely rare spirit grasses such as cold ice grass and one-leaf flower, where is it so easy to find.
Huang Puxi continued unmoved: "One Red Flame Fruit, the starting price is 100,000 taels of silver, and the price increase shall not be less than 10,000 taels each time. ”
There was silence in the hall, and no one was bidding.
Zhou Hao was also hesitant in his heart, there was a huge amount of fire poison, I don't know if the mysterious bone spurs can be transformed? If it can't be transformed, wouldn't eating it be equivalent to looking for death?
Huang Puxi waited for a while, and saw that no one was bidding, so he said: "Red Flame Fruit, no one bids is equal to a failed auction." Countdown for the first time!"
"Count-to-last!"
"Countdown!"
"Wait, I'll give 100,000 taels!"
Zhou Hao secretly gritted his teeth and decided to buy it first.
Everyone in the hall turned their heads and looked at the box of the Gongsun family, and the people of the Gongsun family were all old foxes, how could they even buy such a garbage elixir?
Gongsun Fu was also slightly surprised and asked, "Zhou Xiaoyou can also do alchemy?"
Zhou Hao shook his head: "Of course not!"
"Then what's the use of buying this Red Flame Fruit?"
