Volume 3 Chapter 45 The Auction Begins
"I went to Daze in the Blazing Valley with my team......," Jiang Ge's voice trembled, "There are still fifty miles to go, and I saw several groups of people fleeing in a hurry, and some of them even had incomplete limbs and were covered in blood. They said that they had encountered the Spirit Realm Fire Spirit, and many people died there, and even some fell...... The pinnacle of the Lingtai.
Then a beast's roar was heard......
"Some people say that the spirit beast is still in Daze, but the roar has spread fifty miles away!"
Fifty miles of sound!
What was that like? I'm afraid that if I get close, the whole person will be shattered by the roar!
"Blazing Valley Daze is thousands of miles away, how did he come here?" Shi Cheng asked.
"I don't know." Jiang Ge replied.
"Is there a disease? Blazing Valley Daze is so big, why do you provoke it? Zhang Rui complained.
Earthfire!
Meng Che's heart moved, is it because of that little beast?
If so, it's a big problem. An angry Spirit Realm spirit beast, none of them can afford to provoke it.
"Go down from the main way, farther away, and its target should not be us." Meng Che said, and suddenly thought of something, and added: "Among us...... You didn't bring spirit beasts in......"
"Who is stupid, bring a spirit beast to Tiling? Those who recognize the Lord and those who didn't grow up in Tiling are okay, and those who are caught are looking for death! Zhang Rui shouted.
Shi Cheng said: "I hope you don't hide it, it's about your lives." β
After getting everyone's denial, Meng Che said, "Let's go." β
The group was exhausted, but they went deeper into the woodland.
It was completely dark, and it was impossible to see in the dense forest, but no one dared to light the torches, and only relied on the silhouette of the branches under the dark blue sky.
"Roarββ!!! There was another roar, much closer than the last time, and it shook people's hearts.
"So fast!" Yumoto turned his head and looked in the direction where the roar was coming from.
The earth fire is still unknown, and it has already put a lot of pressure on them.
As soon as their hearts tightened, a group of people went to the west even more desperately.
β¦β¦
The time is approaching.
Nine Winds City ushered in the grandest day in recent years!
Pill Auction, Open!
The specifications of this auction are extraordinary, and it was presided over by Huang Qiu himself.
Offfield, the major forces were already seated, each with a table, separated by a low wooden fence.
Sitting side by side in the front are Guanshan Gate, Xiangwu Gate, Xifeng Gate, and Yuzhen Gate. Qingxinmen did not come with much fanfare, except for the side department, only Dong Shenglu was alone, and he was invited to preside over the awakening ceremony. Huang Qiu wanted to arrange it, but was politely rejected by Dong Shenglu. Instead, he followed Mengyuan Mengluo and sat at the foot of the Xiangwu Gate.
The latter point is the two families of Qingqiu City Shang Bai and the two families of Jinghui City Palace.
Jinghui City, like Qingqiu City, has a Tiling Mountain Road, which is east of Nine Winds City, thousands of miles away. The strength of the two families of Gong Jia and the two families of Shang and Bai are roughly between the two families, and it is rumored that there are shadows of Yuzhen Gate and Xiangwu Gate behind Jinghui City.
After the seat, there are the four major families of the Nine Winds, the Han family, the Wan family, the Mu family and the Dream family.
Meng Donglai leaned back in his chair and pretended to sleep, the ring on his hand seemed to be flashing, smiling, as if he had forgotten that not long ago, he had personally driven away a junior of the Mengjia who was comparable to the Lingtai Realm.
The others had different expressions, some looked at Mengyuan's father and daughter, not knowing what they were thinking, only an empty sigh.
In the last large area, there are mercenary groups from the Tiling Mountains and the Xijiang Plain, other families of the Nine Winds, and major family forces from the surrounding cities.
"Silence!" Huang Qiu said. The aura carried the sound throughout the audience, and the lobby, which was still a little noisy, suddenly fell silent.
"Lingtai Realm?!" The people present were stunned. The yellow steward who is kind and polite, sleek, and leaky on weekdays is actually a master of the Lingtai Realm?! And the aura is extremely strong and full of energy, obviously not the first to enter the spiritual platform! Only the people of the four major sects present looked as usual.
"First of all, on behalf of the Golden Emperor Pavilion, I would like to welcome you all here!"
The leaders of the four sects at the head of the seat all stood up and said, "Huang Guan is polite! β
Huang Qiu hurriedly said: "Everyone, sit down quickly, don't bother Huang!" β
No longer greetings, Huang Qiu looked around the field for the next week, and said slowly: "Everyone, I believe you have been looking forward to it for a long time. But the ugly words have to be said in front, the Golden Emperor Pavilion auction, fair and just, the highest price wins! If someone oppresses someone with power, I, the Golden Emperor Pavilion, will sanction their sect family! When the time comes, don't blame me for the Golden Emperor Pavilion for not being emotional! β
"Steward Huang rest assured, the rules of the Golden Emperor Pavilion, we naturally understand!"
"So, without further ado, let's get started!
"The first lot, a high-grade Qi Gathering Pill! This pill can greatly increase the aura in the body and expand the meridians, so as to help penetrate the acupuncture points of the human body and increase the probability of opening the pulse! The people of the ninth layer of Qi gather will take the next one, and they are expected to break through the realm and enter the spiritual platform at one time! The starting price is 100,000 taels of silver! β
100,000 taels!
There was a gasp of cold air at the scene.
The annual income of ordinary people is only 500 taels! 100,000 taels, if you only rely on the stalls in the market, and the family does not eat and drink, it will take two hundred years to make it up! That's the starting price! As big as a dreamer, he controls Jiufeng Sichengfang City alone, and Mengyuan has been in power for nearly 20 years, but there are only more than three million taels left.
The fact that the first lot was sold at such a high price was unexpected by many.
Yuzhenmen Lu Yuandai frowned slightly, and asked suspiciously: "Is it wrong for Huang Guanshi, the Qi Gathering Pill is a mid-grade elixir, and it was only auctioned for 23,000 taels in the Troubled Ancient City before. β
Huang Qiu said with a smile: "Elder Lu, don't worry, Huang is naturally the person in charge, and he can't speak!" The techniques of the alchemist are not trivial, and the control of the pill is also extraordinary, and the pill that is made is naturally not the same as the ordinary Qi Gathering Pill. I, the Golden Emperor Pavilion, are here to guarantee, and the medicinal effect is definitely much higher than that of the first-grade intermediate level! If it weren't for the limitations of the pill itself, Huang would even want to shoot it as a second product! β
"According to Steward Huang, how many mid-level pills are this pill equivalent?" Sheng Fuyi asked.
Huang Qiu smiled: "How many I said is a few?" Elder Sheng, is the medicinal effect of this elixir simply superimposed? You and I here know it, so why bother asking. Then, the conversation changed, "Each price increase shall not be less than 10,000 taels!" β
"110,000 taels!"
"120,000 taels!"
"130,000 taels!"
"One hundred and fifty thousand taels!"
β¦β¦
The price increase came and went, but they were all reserved, and almost every time they were close to the bottom line of the price increase of 10,000 taels. This price has far exceeded the actual value of this elixir. In this case, only the big sects have the courage to invest a lot of money at the beginning of the auction.
It is a medicine that is poisonous, especially this kind of medicine that is beneficial to cultivation, which may hinder the subsequent entry to some extent. Who cultivates the truth without dreams? Otherwise, why go to Tiling and fight for resources? So for the pills, they can take less and take less.
These side effects may not matter to everyone present, and there is almost no hope of hitting a higher peak at an age. But it's different for their juniors, they are still young, and they still have infinite hope, even if there is another spirit, they can instantly suppress other sects.
Therefore, this kind of elixir, which can be said to be several times the medicinal power of the same elixir, is even more precious, because it invisibly contains greater added value.
In the end, the first pill belonged to Elder Xiao Qi of Guanshanmen at a transaction price of 210,000 taels.
"Two hundred and twenty thousand taels of Qi Gathering Pill!" Xiao Qi smiled bitterly. It is as strong as closing the mountain gate, and spending 210,000 taels of silver for a Qi Gathering Pill is also very luxurious.
It is difficult to judge the value of the elixir in detail. It is possible to give it to a person without making waves, or it is possible to soar into the sky. Not only look at strength, talent, and foundation, but also look at luck.
"The second lot, combined auction, Qi Gathering Pill, Leaving Fire Pill!"
Huang Qiu deliberately sealed it with a semi-transparent fat jade bottle, and the dark red elixir lay quietly at the bottom of the bottle. When you open it slightly, you will feel a strong fire attribute breath, accompanied by a spicy fragrance.
An old man in the audience was slightly startled, looked at the eagerness in the eyes of the young man next to him, and showed a touch of helplessness.
"Huangqiu...... You're here for the old man......
"The old boy didn't reveal how many different types of pills there were in advance......
"The first one made me look at the price, and the second one convinced me that I was going to get it......
"It's so ruthless......"
Regardless of whether there is a so-called "malicious bidding" in the audience, in the end, Yanwei won the second lot at a price of 800,000 taels!
"800,000 taels!" Many people sighed for a while.
It's just a simple combination, and it's almost twice as expensive as a single shot! If you keep shooting together, doesn't it mean that most people will come in vain! They didn't know that these 800,000 were specially designed by Huangqiu for Yanwei, and it was difficult to replicate.
"It's only 800,000!" Meng Guanghua pulled Meng Donglai's clothes and whispered excitedly.
"Nonsense! Sit tight! Meng Donglai shouted softly.
"Didn't Meng Yuan leave three million behind when he left? Can't afford it? Meng Guanghua grunted unconvinced. When he spoke, he was unceremoniously, and after speaking, he cautiously looked in the direction of Mengyuan, for fear of being heard.
"Xiaohua, you don't understand." Meng Geng sighed, "Is it true that our dream family will collect the profits of the market in vain?" The law enforcement team needs money, the garrison needs money, the clean-up costs money, the whole province needs money for eating and drinking, it costs money for some work, and it costs money to support any business!
"When Meng Yuan left, he was just in time for the pass, and money had to be used everywhere, and in the past few days, a small half of it has been used!"
"This dream abyss!" Meng Guanghua showed a touch of unhappiness and resentment.
"You can't blame Mengyuan entirely, it's a normal process, but it's really not a coincidence." Menghu sighed.
"What does Brother Tiger mean, is it also my fault?" Meng Donglai raised his eyes and said.
"Where, just to say, it's not easy to be the head of the family." Menghu sighed.
"Is it difficult?" Meng Donglai closed his eyes again, unable to see his emotions.
β¦β¦
Like a table in the martial arts gate, Lu Ban looked around, touched Lu Kun, and said, "Why didn't I see Meng Che?" β
"yes."
Lu Ban Lu Kun was already tall, and he could look around the entire venue without getting up.
"I haven't seen each other in days. I haven't seen him since the accident in Otokido. Lu Kun said.
"Oops!" Lu Ban whispered softly, "It can't be that Xifengmen secretly did it, right?" β
"Impossible! Didn't you send someone to keep an eye on it, Mengyuan Mengluo is not still sitting here. Lu Kun wondered, "Could it be that you have already left?" β
"Brother Meng, why don't you see Che Xian's nephew?" Lu Ban raised his glass, touched it with Meng Yuan, and asked.
"Che'er studied pharmacology with Ge Lao, and I didn't want to disturb him." Meng Yuan smiled lightly and took a sip of wine, "Thank you Brother Lu for remembering!" β
"That's fine. Brother Meng didn't think about taking a pill for Luo's niece! β
Meng Yuan laughed at himself: "Don't worry. Now the price is too high, Meng is not the head of the dream family now, so he has to be cautious. β
"Brother Meng doesn't dislike it, someone Lu also has some family background, so he can borrow Brother Meng!"
"Thank you Brother Lu for your kindness, the little girl is still weak, and she can only use Fancao for the time being, and she can buy it back and put it away. But Brother Lu has to start as soon as possible, so as not to have too many dreams at night! Meng Yuan politely refused.
Lu Ban laughed: "Brother Meng, don't worry, I, Lu someone, have always acted safely, and I will not delay in the slightest!" β
