Chapter 242: New Year's Party (5)
This kind of soft knife method of killing people is also in line with the demeanor of the family, and it can be passed down for thousands of years, how can it be possible to fight and kill at every turn? It must be known that "killing 3,000 enemies and inflicting 800 self-damages", if you can't even hold back the momentary anger, the foundation of the family will have been defeated long ago. It's just that although the methods used by Duanmu Yuanming were correct, it was a pity that the skills used were so clumsy that Liang Hu couldn't help but shake his head in his heart, and put the label of an incompetent person on his head, putting it into the category of a gentleman.
In other words, Liang Hu and Duanmu Yuanming get along with each other, the best choice is to lower their posture along the steps given by Wu Aohan, as long as they are not humble or arrogant and have a sincere attitude, not only will they not lose face, but they also block Liang Hu's mouth so that he can't find an excuse to make a move. After going back, with the help of the family's connections and strength, he secretly and slowly investigated and deployed, and seized the opportunity to kill Liang Hu with one blow, and at that time, everyone would praise Duanmu Gongzi for his strategizing and foresight, who still remembers the skirmish at the auction before?
As a result, Duanmu Yuanming didn't hold back this breath and walked away on the spot, that's all, after all, the children of the family have been pampered since childhood, and they have been instilled to maintain family traditions and face, unlike Liang Hu, who is alone and doesn't have to think too much. But then he bribed his ancestors and grandsons to embarrass Liang Hu, how could he find some irrelevant people to come forward, but Duanmu Gongzi actually went out stupidly in person, and he was photographed in the convention and exhibition center, and now he is no longer just a foreign monk like Liang Hu, but the organizer of the entire New Year's event.
Therefore, Liang Hu didn't say a word after listening to Duanmu Yuanqin's words, like Duanmu Yuanming's doing, the rich old man must come forward, otherwise where do you put the face of the organizer of this New Year's event? Liang Hu, who should have come forward as a party, was naturally happy to watch the play on the side, anyway, if this matter could not satisfy him, Liang Hu would never give up, he had already made it very clear in public, the matter could be provoked by Duanmu Yuanming, but the end could only be decided by himself.
Liang Hu's eight-grade high-grade talismans triggered a small high dynasty in the auction, so that more than a dozen kinds of eight-grade goods in the back were auctioned at very good prices, among which there was a piece of ink jade the size of a thumb nail, although the grade was only eight-grade medium, but the whole body was jet-black without any impurities, and it was extremely rare and rare, so Liang Hu also couldn't put it down, so Qin Ruoyun bid 3 million to win it directly.
In the auction, the price of the finished product is much higher than the raw material, this is mainly because there are relatively few monks who are proficient in drawing, making utensils, and alchemy, even if you can get the raw materials you want, you have to find a reliable monk to help make the finished product you need, if you fail to make the finished product, you will have nothing, even if you succeed, you have to pay a high price or owe favors, these are a heavy burden, it is better to spend more money on the spot to directly bid for the finished product to save worry and effort.
In addition to this piece of black jade, there was another thing that caught Liang Hu's attention, that is, the Yangshou Pill mentioned by the ancestors and grandchildren before, when Liang Hu saw the elixir, he immediately found that the main ingredient it used was the Yinyuan mushroom of two years. The Yinyuan mushrooms collected on a large scale in the recent period seemed to have been obtained from Liang Hu, so he immediately guessed that these longevity pills should be from Yi Xinzhu, or maybe they were refined by Qu Yao himself.
Liang Hu quietly asked Duanmu Yuanqin a few words, and the latter only thought that Liang Hu was curious and didn't think too much, so he told the story of the capital's recent popularity of Yangshou Dan. It turned out that a month or two ago, a pill suddenly appeared in the capital, which claimed to prolong the life of the user. After the verification of many erudite people such as rich elders, this statement has been confirmed, if ordinary people take one pill a month and stick to it for a long time, it is really not a problem to prolong life for a lifetime. The Qi Refining Cultivator only sensed the Qi Machine, and strictly speaking, he didn't really get rid of the constraints of mortals, so these pills also had an effect on them, just a little worse.
Even if it's a little worse, it's enough to cause a sensation, if you can live a few more years, you can enjoy a few more years, maybe you will have the opportunity to successfully advance, it is a matter of life and death, few people can sit still, but the monks have more porridge and less porridge is really not enough, so some people set a trap and want to use force to snatch it. Although a few Qi Refining Cultivators who made a move were able to get two bottles of pills, it was a pity that before they could heat up the bottles, they were immediately quickly besieged and killed by the National Security Bureau. With such a precedent, those guys with bad intentions had no choice but to stop and honestly raise money to make a deal with the owner of the pill.
The three bottles of pills in this auction were provided by the mysterious seller, and each bottle contained twelve pills, which could prolong life for one year. In the end, he was pocketed by a foundation building monk with a total price of 57 million, which was almost equivalent to 1.6 million one, and Liang Hu couldn't help but shake his head again and again, speaking of profiteering, it has to be this kind of monopoly business, but unfortunately this kind of business is not what Liang Hu can do now, that is, the Yi family has a deep foundation and can use all aspects of strength to protect itself, so as to be proud.
The next auction gradually became a stage for the foundation building monks to perform, and the many seven-grade goods also made the Qi refining monks in the hall more than enough, and the tens of millions of bids at every turn also made the competition of the auction house tend to be white-hot. Liang Hu himself can draw talismans, make weapons and alchemy, of course, he will not compete with other Taoist friends for the finished product, he focused on those raw materials, and bought a piece of Zhaodian red with 10 million, which is a red gem containing a powerful fire aura.
There is a relevant record in the "Different List", the former first emperor unified the world and gathered the wealth of the world in Xianyang, among which there was a ruby from the Zhaodian of Chu. At that time, there was no electrical equipment, and the palace where the first emperor handled official business was very large, and even if there were more candles, it was gloomy and unclear, but when this piece of Zhaodian ruby was placed next to the bookcase, the whole palace immediately brightened up as day, which is the origin of the name Zhaodian red.
Although this piece of Zhaodian red taken by Liang Hu has the same name as the gem in the record, it is definitely far inferior to the one in history in terms of grade, it is just the size of a ping-pong ball, and its appearance is very irregular. When Liang Hu held it in his hand, he could occasionally feel a trace of scorching heat, which was worthy of the grade of the seventh grade. Liang Hu treats the women around him equally, and Ling Bingxue, as a double cultivator, naturally needless to say, even Qin Ruoyun, who had just opened the layer of window paper, also had two magic weapons, a ring and a jade bracelet, before. As a genuine girlfriend, even if Yao Xueqing doesn't have a qi induction machine, Liang Hu should also prepare one or two for her in advance, this Zhaodian ruby, Liang Hu is ready to ask Yu Fei to tailor a magic weapon for Yao Xueqing, it is best to match the blazing true fire technique she has cultivated, then it will be perfect.
The bidding at the auction also made Qin Ruoyun smack, her jade bracelet was a seventh-grade inferior raw material, but in order to cooperate with her, a monk in the early stage of qi refining, the power of the magic weapon was reduced to the eighth grade, no matter how strong it was, Qin Ruoyun would not be able to control the effect after activation. In order not to waste materials, Liang Hu naturally put more energy into other aspects, such as this magic weapon can be used five times in a row, and the charging time is almost half shorter than the magic weapon made for Nie Youqing and them, so in a sense, the grade of this jade bracelet magic weapon will never be lower than the eighth grade.
But at the auction, a high-grade eight-grade magic weapon can only be used once, and the charging time is more than 20 hours, and it even sold for more than 5 million yuan. Women will always have the heart of comparison, Qin Ruoyun is naturally no exception, she silently estimated in her heart, she felt that if she took out her jade bracelet magic weapon for auction, she was afraid that she could reach a price of more than 10 million casually, and if she met a monk who was suitable for this offensive and defensive effect, it would be no problem to soar to 350 million.
"Hey, isn't this a robe and a hundred charms?" Liang Hu suddenly found that there was a gold defense talisman from Yunguang Temple auctioned, and immediately saw that Hunting Xinxi shouted out an offer of 4 million, and the defensive talisman that can rebound the attack definitely has the effect of attacking jade with stones from other mountains.
"4.5 million!" another foundation monk shouted a higher price.
"4.8 million!" Liang Hu did not stage the drama of crushing the opponent with a large price, which was quite disrespectful to a monk of the same level, and it was easy to cause unnecessary trouble.
"5 million!" The third monk also opened his mouth to bid, and then the monk said more: "If you increase the price again, I will not accompany you, and go to Yunguang Temple to find those old monks to make a move, which is almost the price." ”
"Owing favors is always trouble. The first monk replied with a smile: "5.5 million." ”
"yes. None of the problems that can be solved with money are problems. 5.6 million. Liang Hu also replied, he remembered that the person who spoke was the monk who took a picture of his talisman, so he opened his mouth to talk and said: "This brother Tai Gao's surname is in Xia Liang Hu." ”
"In the lower rugacy. With Your Excellency's forging skills, there is no need to buy the talisman of Yunguang Temple!" the monk asked in a strange tone, and then said, "And if your Ruyi Golden Light Talisman reaches the seventh rank, you should be able to break through the defense of this robe...... Oh, I see, in that case, I'll give you this one. ”
Although his privacy was broken by that Lu Yao, Liang Hu was not angry, he didn't plan to hide this kind of thing, it didn't matter if it was made public sooner or later, it was also a good choice to become famous at this kind of auction. Since there were no competitors, Liang Hu won the robe for 5.6 million, and he said: "Thank you Brother Lu for your humility!"
"Brother Liang is polite, I admire Brother Liang a lot, why don't you wait for the end of this auction house, you and I will simply get together and chat?" Lu Yao suddenly made a mention that surprised Liang Hu.
