Chapter 289:-for-tat
Zhu Xiaoshuang's eyes on the auction table suddenly lit up, and he said with a smile: "There is a Taoist friend who has already bid 20,000 crystal coins, are there any other Taoist friends who have bid higher?"
"30,000 crystals!"
As soon as Zhu Xiaoshuang's words fell, a cold voice sounded again. Everyone in the auction hall glanced at the box that made the sound, and the few people who were still thinking about the offer immediately silenced themselves and stopped making a sound.
It is the young main stone rock of Qifeng Mountain that is quoted.
Preaching jade slips are extremely rare, although this Juyuan Mixed Heaven Technique is only a low-grade and low-level exercise, but it is much more advanced than many loose cultivation exercises, and it is very attractive to loose cultivation. Originally, there were still a few casual cultivators who wanted to bid to compete with Li Xiao, but when they saw Shi Yan bidding, they all gave up this thought. This young master Shi and the mercenary are obviously on the right track, and they are inexplicably involved in this whirlpool, not to mention that they can't buy things, and in the end, they will get into trouble if they don't say it well.
The price of 30,000 crystal coins was not expensive for an exercise, but as soon as Shi Yan mixed it up like this, the others immediately gave it up.
Li Xiao learned wisely this time, turned his head to Lu Benzhen beside him and asked, "Brother Lu, this is the first time I have come to this auction, and I don't know much about the market, how high can I generally sell for exercises of this grade?"
Lu Benzhen couldn't sit still for a long time, and since Li Xiao slashed Shi Yan's face, he had already regretted mixing with Li Xiao. Hearing Li Xiao's question at this moment, he quietly glanced at Shi Yan's box, and said helplessly: "It's hard to say, but this grade of exercise is only more attractive to casual cultivation, and the children of the general sect will not buy this kind of jade slip." Because of the weak sect, it is easy to offend people by buying this kind of thing, and the sect is strong, and this kind of low-grade and low-level exercises are not seen in their eyes. Therefore, the auction price will not be too high, and the highest is only about 50,000 crystal coins. ”
Lu Benzhen was actually vaguely warning Li Xiao, Li Xiao naturally understood what he meant, but he didn't take it to heart. Anyway, this Shi Yan has already been offended, and no matter how ruthless he is, it's just that. As soon as Lu Benzhen's words fell, Li Xiao immediately said: "Fifty thousand crystal coins!"
"I'll give sixty thousand. Almost as soon as Li Xiao reported the bid, Shi Yan immediately snorted and answered coldly.
In the box where Shi Yan was, the faces of the two middle-aged people changed a little, and one middle-aged man hesitated for a moment, and finally couldn't help but whisper: "Young master......."
Shi Yan's father, Shi Qianzhang, that is, the peak master of Qifeng Mountain, was a strong man in the polycrystalline period. In this auction, Qifeng Mountain has already received an invitation from the Hongfei Chamber of Commerce, and has long known the content of the goods auctioned in this auction. Among them, there is a "seven-colored flower" that Shi Qianzhang is determined to obtain, and the seven-colored flower is a second-grade elixir, and it is the main medicine for refining the "seven-colored annihilation pill", which is very useful for cultivators in the crystallization period to condense the spiritual power in the body.
This time, Shi Qianzhang had to retreat into the underworld because he felt the opportunity to break through the bottleneck, so he sent Shi Yan to this auction with a heavy amount of money, and the only purpose was to auction off the seven-colored flowers.
The "seven-colored flower" is more difficult, but it is not an extremely rare thing, and the general value is between 15 and 200,000 crystal coins, in order to be safe, Shi Qianzhang let Shi Yan bring 300,000 crystal coins. This is already a lot of money, and it can be said that in the South Underworld City, except for the four major sects and the three major families, no sect can come up with such a huge amount of money.
Just now, Shi Yan had already spent 10,000 crystal coins to buy a completely useless Aoki Ring, these two middle-aged people were both senior deacons of Qifeng Mountain, although the two of them didn't care about spending 10,000 crystal coins to buy such a garbage, but 10,000 crystal coins was nothing. It's just that at this moment, seeing Shi Yan spend 60,000 crystal coins to buy a low-level exercise in order to be angry, the two of them couldn't help but feel apprehensive in their hearts.
In case this irritable young master really bought such a book of exercises, even if Shi Qianzhang's beloved son was so heartfelt that he couldn't bear to blame him, the two of them would not be able to escape the blame. Not to mention that if the peak master's major event is missed because of this, the seven-colored flowers cannot be bought, and the two of them will not be able to explain. A low-grade and lower-level exercise is a treasure for ordinary casual cultivation, but it is nothing to a sect like Qifeng Mountain.
"You don't have to worry, I know it. Shi Yan smiled coldly, and Zhizhu said in his hand: "This thing that doesn't know whether to live or die has been sitting for a long time and doesn't buy anything else, this spell must be something he is bound to get, he won't let go so easily, I just let him have more blood." ”
As soon as the offer of 60,000 crystal coins came out, almost everyone in the auction hall looked at Li Xiao. This price is not high, but it has already broken through the psychological price of most of the scattered cultivators who are interested in buying this exercise, after all, 60,000 crystal coins is a huge amount of money. I just don't know if that mercenary will quote a higher price.
Under the gaze of everyone, Li Xiao showed an unfathomable smile and shook his head slightly.
Shi Yan in the box suddenly stiffened, and the faces of the two middle-aged people became a little difficult to look at at the same time.
An inexplicable smile flashed in Zhu Xiaoshuang's eyes, and he said with a smile: "The Shiyan Shaofeng Lord of Qifeng Mountain bid 60,000 crystal coins, and are there any other Daoists who bid high? If not, this 'Juyuan Chaotian Recipe' will be owned by the Shi Shaofeng Lord." 60,000 Crystals for the first time, 60,000 Crystals for the second time......"
Shi Yan's face turned pale, he already regretted it a little at this moment, and he realized that he seemed to have been played by this hateful mercenary again.
At this moment, Li Xiao, who had been smiling and silent, spoke slowly, and said: "I can't imagine that the famous Qifeng Mountain also lacks this kind of low-level exercise, and I bid 61,000 crystal coins, Young Master Shi, if you come up with a higher price than me, then this exercise will be yours!"
"This fellow Daoist, are you bidding for sixteen thousand crystal coins?"
Although Li Xiao was "talking to himself", his voice was not low, and Zhu Xiaoshuang on the auction table naturally heard it. Seeing Li Xiao nodded, Zhu Xiaoshuang smiled slightly, and then shouted Li Xiao's offer.
Without any surprise, under the inexplicable gaze of a group of onlookers, Li Xiao finally bought this exercise at a price of 61,000 crystal coins.
Shi Yan's slightly raised heart quietly put down, but there was an expression of "as I expected" on his face, and he said lightly: "I knew that this thing that didn't know whether it was dead or alive had to be bought, hmph! This time he was lucky, and the young master would let him go for the time being."
Before the words fell, Li Xiao, who was not far away, laughed proudly at Lu Zhenzhen: "Good luck, haha, I originally thought that it would cost 180,000 yuan to buy such an exercise, but I didn't expect it to cost only 61,000 crystal coins, which is much lower than the price I expected, hehe......"
Shi Yan glanced at Li Xiao's box coldly, and the calm expression on his face was replaced by a dark cloud.
The auction continued, and the prices of the auction items became higher and higher, and even a few high-grade pills with very anti-heaven effects appeared, and even a piece of third-grade spirit ore was sold. However, Li Xiao and the old ghost were not interested in these things at all, and after a while, another preacher jade slip appeared on the auction table.
This time, it was a magic jade slip, and the grade of the spell had reached the middle level of the lower grade, which was one level higher than the previous auction of the Juyuan Mixed Heaven Technique.
The value of this spell was obviously much higher than that of the Gathering Yuan Chaos Heavenly Technique, and it was not until the quotation reached 100,000 crystals that the number of people who made this offer gradually decreased.
"I'll give out 150,000 crystal coins!"
As soon as he saw that there were fewer people quoting, Li Xiao directly raised the price by a large margin. This time he didn't ask Lu Benzhen again, but exchanged opinions with the old ghost in his consciousness, with that Juyuan Chaotian Recipe as a reference, the old ghost estimated that the value of this spell should be between twelve and thirty thousand, and directly quoted the price of 150,000, if there is no accident, this spell is still theirs.
"One hundred and sixty thousand. But the accident still came, and as soon as Li Xiao's words fell, Shi Yan's voice rang out.
Shi Yan's offer, the others in the auction hall immediately gave up. This time is different from the last time, most of the people who are called to buy the Juyuan Mixed Heaven Technique are the scattered cultivators of the Primordial Realm, but the people who want to buy this middle-grade mid-level exercise are all cultivators who have reached the marrow washing stage, but even if these people are richer than the cultivators of the Primordial Realm, this price is already beyond their ability.
Li Xiao's face sank, and he said coldly: "Young Master Shi, are you deliberately trying to do it against me?"
Shi Yan's depressed mood was suddenly swept away, he laughed, and said proudly: "What's the matter? Don't you have any money? Haha, I can't afford the price of 160,000 yuan, and I still want to compete with my son for things?"
Li Xiao snorted coldly and said disdainfully: "This spell itself is bound to be obtained, and with only 160,000 crystal coins, he wants me to quit, it's just ignorant." ”
After Li Xiao finished speaking, he immediately shouted: "I will give out 250,000 crystal coins!"
"Wow!"
This time, the auction hall was in an uproar!
What is the concept of 250,000 crystal coins? Not to mention for loose cultivation, the elders of some major sects can't come up with such a huge amount of money. Li Xiao and the old ghost robbed and killed Nangong Min before, and there were only more than 100,000 crystal coins in his storage bag, Gu Yinan, Tu Wan Beast and Yinshan Old Ghost were also considered to be first-class ruthless people in the cultivation realm of Southern Netherworld, and they couldn't take out such a huge sum of money.
"I'll give out 251,000 crystal coins!"
When the noise in the auction hall stopped slightly, Shi Yan's voice immediately sounded proudly. This hateful mercenary increased the price by 90,000 crystal coins at a time, obviously he attached great importance to this technique, and he only added 1,000 crystal coins, and he was angry to death! As soon as he thought of this, Shi Yan's heart suddenly became extremely happy, and he couldn't help but laugh.
