Chapter 228: The Bottomless Trust (Oversized Chapter)
"Thirty thousand."
"Thirty-two."
Obviously, there are quite a few monks who are interested in Tsukidan.
Chen Ping directly added two thousand to the reserve price, but there were still a few people who decisively participated.
"Thirty-four."
Seeing that the price had stopped for a few breaths, Chen Ping spoke again.
Several bidders hesitated for a long time, and all gave up to continue to compete.
After all, the price of a piece of Tsukujidan is generally maintained at about 30,000.
Wangqin Island pill resources are worry-free, although this kind of second-grade broken pill is rare, it can be encountered once every few years, there is no need to spend a high price here.
"Thirty-five thousand!"
Just when Chen Ping thought he was at ease, a neutral voice came from one of the westernmost columns.
Looking at the sound, it was a short man in a red robe, and his cultivation was also in the late stage of foundation building.
"Thirty-six thousand."
Chen Ping's eyes narrowed, and he shouted expressionlessly.
"Haha, this Taoist friend has amazing financial resources, so he won't follow him."
The red-robed dwarf cultivator was stunned, hugged his fists in the direction where Chen Ping was, and said generously.
"Thank you."
Chen Ping nodded at him and said with a smile.
When Xu Taohe shouted three times in a row, no one raised the price again.
So, he jumped from the column and paid for the spirit stone.
After the goods were cleared, Chen Ping flew back to his seat.
Although it was a small loss for 30,006 to buy a striped Tsukidan, he would leave Wangqin Island soon, and the Tsukidan channel near the Chenjia Sea was almost cut off, so he could accept it.
"Ancient xenomorphs, a third-order bitter fern spirit seedling......"
The next few items auctioned by Xu Taohe are not much different in value from Tsukidan, and the popularity seems to be even higher.
Several treasures have attracted the scramble of all cultivators.
After Zhuji Dan, there was no more thing that Chen Ping needed, so in his spare time, he observed it in the main hall with great interest.
The focus fell on a few monks who were frequent bidders.
Including the red-robed dwarf cultivator who had competed with him for Tsukidan, there were at least three or four suspicious monks.
They all made the same move.
When the price of a certain treasure is close to the limit, a person will pop up and raise the price by half.
Moreover, several people paid special attention to proportion, but only raised the price by a small margin, so that competitors felt that it was still within a reasonable acceptable range.
As soon as the price exceeded one or two percent of the treasure itself, these strangely behaved guys immediately shut up.
As the auction drew to a close, a few people who were quite active had never really auctioned off a treasure.
"Hehe, is it a monk who supports the Xu family?"
Carefully releasing his divine sense, he peeked at the faces of those people like a dragonfly, and Chen Ping immediately smiled coldly.
Now, he can be sure that these people are all invited by the Xu family, and they are even disguised by the Xu family.
For nothing else, they all concealed their true appearances without exception.
The old god was staring at Xu Taohe, and Chen Ping was not ready to expose the truth.
Rake, do support, maximize benefits.
These are the two main reasons why forces with a little capital are scrambling to open auctions.
Chen Ping felt that there was nothing wrong with this matter, and when the Chen family became strong in the future, it would inevitably go with the flow and pit outsiders.
Of course, you can't go too far as Tovan, and if you exceed the bottom line, it's not something he can accept.
"The finale auction of the waiting meeting should be a fierce bloody battle."
Raising his eyebrows, Chen Ping pondered.
Although the third-level formation was something he coveted in his heart, if the price was ridiculously high, he would not stupidly throw spirit stones into it.
……
When the last ordinary auction item was also auctioned, Xu Taohe paused slightly, his expression was straight, and he said: "My Xu family's Supreme Elder Xu Yuehuan's senior, you should be familiar with it, she is not only a Yuandan monk, but also a famous array master. ”
"The finale treasure of this auction is the third-level formation created by her old man, the Extreme Heavenly Thunder Array!"
"This array is the main killing, and the sixteen array flags are all made of third-order thunder attribute ores, which is extremely powerful."
"And the array banner embryo was once brought to the Duality Heavy Heaven by the Supreme Elder, and he used the Innocent Purple Thunder to baptize it for a whole year, which made the attack of the Great Array even more level, and the monks in the middle and late stages of the foundation building broke in, and a thunder method could be killed."
"Even the late-stage Yuan Dan cultivator of the non-mutated Lei Ling Root can't directly compete with it."
After Xu Taohe quickly introduced a few words, his figure flickered, and the figure suddenly moved to the audience, vacating the vast platform.
Immediately after, only to hear the slight sound of "creaking", a crack opened in the door of the side hall, and more than a dozen purple phantoms overflowing with spiritual power flew out in a row, each dragging a stretch of silk thread, crackling and crackling, and thunder and lightning with the thickness of an arm gushed out from it!
"What a powerful thunder attribute aura."
One after another, divine consciousness spiraled out of the column, and they all stabbed towards the dozen or so array flags that were wrapped in thunder and lightning.
Chen Ping suppressed the divine soul, followed everyone to feel it, and secretly thought: "It is worthy of a third-level formation, and the aura of the formation flag alone is no less than that of a foundation-building monk." ”
The Extreme Intent Heavenly Thunder Array itself is a third-level formation, and the derived attack is the heaviest supreme thunder method.
In terms of pure destructive ability, it is indeed much stronger than the ordinary third-level formation.
"Sickness."
Xu Yuehuan spit out a word lightly, and then, from the sixteen purple array flags, a ripple-like electric light was outlined, which instantly spread out, directly enveloping the entire hall.
This scene did not make the monks in the hall change their expressions greatly, but tacitly showed their means and intercepted a trace of thunder and lightning.
Xu Yuehuan's move was just to let everyone really feel the coercion of the big array.
The power of the formation is inconvenient to display directly, after all, it may take months or even years to calculate the layout of a third-level formation.
Moreover, the third-level formation is fully activated, and the resources consumed by each breath will be jaw-dropping.
By sensing the attacks released by the array flag, the cultivators can also roughly judge the merits of the formation.
After a short while, Xu Yuehuan withdrew the spiritual power in the formation flag.
Sixteen five-inch-long array flags that were no different were suspended in mid-air.
The whole body presents a dark purple color, and its surface is carved with dragons and phoenixes, and the sharp corners are smooth, which is extremely exquisite.
Then, Xu Taohe jumped on the platform again, and said with a smile: "Fellow Daoists, don't worry, the Extreme Heavenly Thunder Array is definitely a genuine third-level formation, if there is the slightest fraud, my Xu family is willing to compensate for the spirit stone that is twice the transaction price." ”
"Below, the finale auction has officially begun, a set of Extreme Heavenly Thunder Array, with a reserve price of 100,000 spirit stones, and the price increase shall not be less than 5,000!"
"One hundred and five thousand!"
"One hundred thousand!"
"120,000 spirit stones!"
……
The name of the third-level formation is really not small, and before Chen Ping could speak, the monks on the cylinder couldn't wait to quote a few high prices one after another.
"One hundred and thirty thousand!"
At the very front of the main hall, a monk shrouded in green smoke sat quietly, unable to see through the lineup, but judging by his voice, it should be an old man of considerable age.
"Old man Mo, you are too stingy, each time five thousand, five thousand will be increased according to the minimum limit, the Mo family operates several stores and has countless incomes, which is not in line with your style of being rich and generous!"
A blue-robed nun covered her mouth and laughed, and with that, she threw a few winks in the direction of the green smoke.
Looking at her posture of revealing the origin of the old man, it was obvious that she was more familiar with him before.
"Qiao Niang, you don't provoke me with words, your Qiao family is one of the top foundation building families in the Goddess City, since you heard the news and came to participate in the auction, you must also be coming for the Extreme Heavenly Thunder Array, why don't you bid for the competition?"
"What, do you still want to pick up the leak at the auction?"
As the smoke fluctuated, the old man's voice sounded again.
"The third-level formation is bound to be won by my Yuan family, and the result is the same when I join the snatch."
The blue-robed woman smiled slightly, and her words revealed a sense of confidence.
"Haha, your Qiao family is too confident, don't you take the cultivation on the field in your eyes?"
The green smoke trembled violently, and soon calmed down, and the old man said sarcastically.
"The concubine is too lazy to talk to you, I'll see you later."
The female cultivator surnamed Qiao stretched her soft body lazily and said with a bewitching smile.
Obviously, the process of the auction will not be stalled because of the bickering between the two, and at this time, the price of the formation has come to 140,000.
When an unknown monk shouted the high price of "150,000", several people who had been closely following the price stopped abruptly.
"One hundred and fifty-five thousand."
Chen Ping made his first move and quoted a price in his mouth.
"One hundred and sixty thousand!"
The unknown monk also seemed to really take a fancy to the big array, and after a moment of hesitation, he still increased the price once, surpassing Chen Ping.
However, before the third breath, the price was refreshed by the old man who had quarreled with the female cultivator surnamed Qiao before.
"One hundred and sixty-five thousand, Mo Daoyou is currently the highest bidder, and there are still Daoyou who have not increased the price?"
Auctioneer Xu Taohe cleared his throat and said in a loud voice: "The third-level formation is extremely versatile, even if the prosperous Wangqin Island has only been outflowed for more than ten or twenty years, you must not miss it." ”
"One hundred and eighty thousand!"
The female cultivator raised her hand, and finally said a price that suffocated most of the monks on the field.
Not only did Chen Ping's face change slightly, but the other monks couldn't help but sweep their gazes over.
"What are you doing looking at the concubine like this?"
The female cultivator surnamed Qiao touched the bridge of her nose innocently, and said playfully: "What the concubine said before is very clear, the third-level formation is what my Qiao family is determined to get!" ”
"What a clever family, you can play by yourself!"
The old man surnamed Mo snorted angrily, and then flew away from the hall with the smoke.
"180,000, Qiaodaoyou bid 180,000!"
Xu Taohe repeated twice as usual, and suddenly, a red-haired young man stood up and said emotionlessly: "190,000." ”
"Here we are."
Chen Ping squinted his eyes and laughed coldly.
This red-haired young man was one of the monks suspected of entrusting the Xu family.
He had just vaguely noticed a faint fluctuation of divine consciousness coming from the side hall, thinking that he had received Xu Yuehuan's instructions and was ready to raise the price.
It was also Chen Ping's divine sense that was comparable to that of the early Yuan Dan, so he barely discovered Xu Yuehuan's abnormal movements.
The other foundation-building monks were all kept in the dark and did not know the truth.
Naturally, the female cultivator surnamed Qiao is not easy to follow, and said suspiciously: "This Taoist friend is very good-looking, isn't it my local cultivator on Wangqin Island?" ”
"Who wouldn't be greedy for such treasures when they have enough financial resources?"
The red-haired young man did not answer her question directly, and said lightly.
"Good!"
The female cultivator surnamed Qiao's eyes shrank, and said with a gloomy face: "Two hundred thousand!" If you exceed this number, the concubine will not say a word, but turn around and leave. ”
As she spoke, she deliberately held spiritual power in her mouth and transmitted her voice to every part of the hall.
Obviously, she had doubts about the Xu family, and simply made her bottom line clear.
It's like the old saying, you can slaughter it, but it has to be within my reach.
"Hehe, the wealth of the Qiao family is well deserved."
The red-haired young man laughed dryly, and closed his eyes leisurely.
It seems that he has completely withdrawn from the competition for the third-level formation.
"Two hundred and fifty-five thousand."
Just when the female nun surnamed Qiao breathed a sigh of relief and thought that she was sitting firmly on Mount Tai, Chen Ping straightened her collar and said in a good way.
As soon as this price was released, the monks in the temple all looked surprised.
After a commotion, the cultivators glanced at the female cultivator surnamed Qiao and Chen Ping several times.
"Another strange face."
The woman surnamed Qiao flicked her sleeves, her anger rose, and she said word by word: "Qiaojia is willing to bow down, goodbye!" ”
On the eve of leaving the main hall, she glared at Chen Ping fiercely, as if she wanted to keep his appearance in mind.
"Hehe, I'm afraid that this woman doesn't regard me as the secret trust of the Xu family?"
Chen Ping didn't care about thinking.
He had changed his appearance, and of course he was not afraid of the Qiao family's concerns, and he still stood with his back to his back with a calm expression.
"Auntie, this guy isn't from us, is he?"
In the side hall, Xu Chengjian coughed and said in a strange tone.
Xu Yuehuan shook her head and frowned: "I don't know him, I don't know where he came from." ”
"The property on his body is worth at least 300,000 spirit stones."
The cold glint in Xu Chengjian's eyes flashed, and he sneered: "Auntie, Transsion has asked our people to continue to increase the price!" ”
"Chengjian, this is not very good, what if he doesn't follow?"
Xu Yuehuan's nose wrinkled, and she said worriedly: "Two hundred and one thousand, which is almost close to the capped price of the Extreme Heavenly Thunder Array." ”
"I look at his posture, it seems that he cares a lot about the formation, it is better to cut him another layer of oil!"
The corners of Xu Chengjian's mouth curled, and he said in a gloomy tone.
"Then one more round."
Xu Yuehuan pondered for a while, not wanting to dismiss the meaning of the lover, and then sent a message to a monk in the main hall.
"Is the Xu family so shameless?"
With a pinching of his eyebrows, Chen Ping's heart was full of disgust.
He once again noticed the fluctuation of his divine consciousness in the side hall, and it seemed that this woman Xu Yuehuan wanted to pit him again.
210,000 is not enough to satisfy the appetite of the Xu family, so let's stop here!
The endless slaughter of people as pigs has made him really angry.
If it weren't for the fact that his skills were not as good as others, Chen Ping would have washed the auction hall today and cut off the heads of the Xu family and a few secretly entrusted dogs!
"Two hundred and twenty thousand."
The next moment, in the northwest corner of the main hall, a monk with a pimple on his face held his head high and said proudly: "This fellow Daoist, Ma advises you to give up, no one can take the treasure in my picture yet!" ”
This secret excuse was used to raise the price, and even the method of agitation was used.
"Lu Daoyou, Zhou feels that something is wrong, so it's better to forget it."
The old man surnamed Zhou, who had explained the abyss of the rift valley to Chen Ping before, said with relief.
"Alas, what Zhou Daoyou said is true."
Chen Ping's face was cloudy and uncertain, and then he waved his hand with a pale face, as if after careful consideration, he had no choice but to withdraw from the auction.
"Two hundred and twenty thousand for the first time!"
"The second time!"
After repeating it twice, seeing that no one continued to increase the price, a trace of cold sweat oozed from Xu Taohe's forehead.
These secret trusts were all arranged by Elder Taishang, and of course he could recognize them at a glance.
If the formation is finally won by a trustee, wouldn't it be different from the unsuccessful auction?
Nervously swept the side hall, Xu Taohe had to delay for a while, waiting for the next instruction from the Supreme Elder.
"Damn it, he didn't follow!"
Xu Chengjian smashed into the stone wall with a fist, and said angrily.
"Chengjian, you're too greedy."
Xu Yuehuan was also a little angry at the moment, and said in a muffled voice.
"Auntie, that kid is indeed a Foundation Building Realm monk, right?"
Xu Chengjian calmed his anger and asked with slightly narrowed eyes.
"There will never be a mistake with the mana aura in the late stage of foundation building, but it is much purer and deeper than that of the same level."
Xu Yuehuan nodded first, and then said faintly: "Although the mountains area allows fighting methods, he is a guest participating in the auction, and once bad news spreads, it will definitely greatly affect the family's reputation." ”
"How come, Chengjian on Wangqin Island won't mess around. Auntie, please take back the array flag, and I will personally trade with him. ”
Xu Chengjian pursed his lips, and said with an unknown meaning.
The Extreme Heavenly Thunder Array was exchanged for the sect at most, and at most 180,000 spirit stones.
But that person was willing to give tens of thousands more, and if he kept up, he couldn't even get an extra amount of property worth hundreds of thousands of spirit stones.
He is a disciple of the Great Perfection of Foundation Building from the Moon Sect, and he can't clean up the late stage monks?
"My Xu family's array flag, when will it be the turn of the juniors of the Lanyue Sect to call the shots?"
At this moment, a cold and low voice suddenly echoed in the side hall.
Then, a golden figure flew into the temple, and his feet silently hit the ground.
Xu Yuehuan's aunt and nephew Qi Qi's face changed greatly, as if she had seen something that frightened them.
