Chapter 35: The Great Xia Auction House
This warrior was ragged, dark-skinned, and although he was the oldest of four, his cultivation was the lowest. Seeing Wang Yue's question at this moment, he hurriedly opened his mouth to answer, for fear that Wang Yue would also extend his claws to himself:
"I, I was captured by them to be a guide and a coolie!"
It turned out that this person's name was Xia Jiuding, and he was an unknown casual cultivator in Qingyu City, who often risked his life and entered the depths of the Wild Mountain Range in order to cultivate and make a living.
Xia Jiuding's cultivation, although he only has the dual peak of martial arts, he has more understanding of the Barbarian Mountains than the vast majority of martial artists in Qingyu City. It is precisely for this reason that he was captured by Sima Du to be a guide.
"The surname Xia is the surname of my Red Dragon Royal Family...... Xia Jiuding is also a good name!"
Wang Yue nodded lightly, his gaze swept over Xia Jiuding, and then he put his hands behind his back, turned around and left proudly:
"The prey on your back is all brought by me personally, help me bring these prey back to Qingyu City, and I will pay you at that time!"
In the face of the strong, do not feel inferior. In the face of the weak, do not bully others. This is the real powerhouse!
"Yes!"
Xia Jiuding nodded lightly, picked up the prey, and followed behind Wang Yue with great respect, but when his eyes fell on the two brothers of the Sima family who were unconscious, he suddenly became cold: "These two people, don't you plan to kill your mouth?"
Speaking of this, Xia Jiuding paused, carefully observing Wang Yue's reaction with the corner of his eye, until he repeatedly made sure that the latter's face had not changed in the slightest, and then continued to speak:
"Your Excellency has mastered the Demon Pill, these two people already know. They are disciples of the Sima family, and once the news leaks, thenβ"
"Then let them come to me!"
Hearing this, Wang Yue smiled freely, with undoubted confidence in his words:
"The reason why I dare to touch them is because in my eyes, the Sima family is not worth mentioning at all. In that case, why do I want to kill people and kill people? The strong will only start from themselves and make decisions for themselves!"
After speaking, without waiting for Xia Jiuding to react, Wang Yue's clothes fluttered, and he had already gone away. Xia Jiuding was stunned in place, comprehending for a long time, and then he reacted and trotted all the way to follow.
Qingyu City, Dong Ji grocery store.
"The Mutant Tiger King, the Mutant King Snake, and the Crusty Brute Bull, the Cloud-piercing Money Leopard, my God, there is actually a demon sparrow! This, these prey, are they all hunted by yourself?"
In the grocery store, Xia Jiuding put down the hill-like prey on his body with a bang, and the old shopkeeper looked shocked, and he missed for a while, almost tearing off half of his goatee.
Wang Yue nodded indifferently: "Of course, please also ask the shopkeeper to count and exchange these prey for silver tickets of equal value." β
"Of course!"
The big shopkeeper hurriedly nodded, and the value of these prey was already reported in his mouth:
"One piece of Mutant Mountain Tiger Skin, the purchase price, one thousand taels of silver!"
"One Mutant Mountain Tiger Pill, the purchase price, 1,200 taels of silver!"
"One king snake snake gall, the purchase price, one thousand taels of silver!"
......
After the transaction was completed, the five prey of the Triple Peak of the Martial Arts were sold for a high price of fifteen thousand taels in total!
The beasts at the peak of the triple peak of martial arts can inhale spiritual power into their bodies and exercise their bodies, and their flesh, flesh and fur contain a trace of spiritual energy, which has essentially been reborn, and the purchase price is naturally much higher than that of ordinary beasts.
"This is a silver ticket of 15,000 taels, please smile at it!"
As soon as the prey was cleaned up, the shopkeeper of the Dong family presented a thick stack of silver tickets with both hands, and the title of Wang Yue also quietly underwent earth-shaking changes.
Wang Yue took the silver ticket, but there was not much smile on his face: "Big shopkeeper, why didn't you accept this last demon sparrow?"
Wang Yue noticed that from beginning to end, the big shopkeeper did not make an offer to the demon sparrow. Wang Yue had estimated before that even if it wasn't a demon pill, this demon finch could be sold for a sky-high price of 50,000 taels of silver!
When the shopkeeper heard this, he smiled bitterly: "Little friend doesn't know, my Dong Ji grocery store is small, only trading beasts and fierce beasts, and the price of demon sparrows starts at every turn, which is not at all something that a small shop like us can afford!"
Wang Yue frowned: "Then where am I going to sell this demon sparrow?"
"Naturally, it's the Great Xia Auction House!"
In the Great Xia Auction House, Wang Yue's heart shook when he heard this!
The Great Xia Auction House is an auction place for rare treasures, and those who enter the Great Xia Auction House, whether they buy or sell, have a prominent background.
It is said that the most precious treasures auctioned there can no longer be measured by silver. Although the forces behind it have never been obvious, there have long been rumors among the people that the forces behind the Great Xia Auction House are the Great Xia royal family of the Red Dragon Kingdom!
In Qingyu City, there is naturally a semicolon of the Great Xia Auction House.
Wang Yue stretched his sleeves and put away the demon sparrow: "Okay, then I'll go to the Great Xia Auction House!"
A demon sparrow, although it is not a rare treasure, can barely enter the Great Xia Auction House and auction there.
However, before leaving, Wang Yue took out a five hundred taels of silver ticket and stuffed it into Xia Jiuding's hand: "This is the reward for you to help me carry the prey back!"
Xia Jiuding trembled and took the one hundred taels of silver tickets.
A full hundred taels of silver, even if Xia Jiuding wandered in the wilderness mountains all day long, he only had an income of fifty taels of silver per month. Unexpectedly, this time, just following behind Wang Yue and helping him carry a few prey, the reward was so rich!
Xia Jiuding immediately put the silver ticket in his arms without pretentiousness: "Then thank you for the reward! Next time, if I have the opportunity, I am willing to contribute to the son!"
In the course of Wang Yue's conversation with the big shopkeeper, Xia Jiuding finally understood Wang Yue's identity as a disciple of the Wang family, and then he finally realized why Wang Yue dared to treat the Sima family in Qingyucheng as nothing.
Because the Wang family, which is also the three major families in Qingyucheng, has a prominent status, and is not under the Sima family, in some aspects, it is even surpassed!
Wang Yue nodded: "Next time I enter the mountain, I will look for you." β
Wang Yue had already discovered that the map and beast record he had bought earlier were somewhat off, and it was better to find someone familiar with the mountains and forests as a guide when entering the mountains and forests in the future.
This is the reason why Wang Yue and Xia Jiuding returned side by side. A few beasts are not so heavy that they need others to fight them.
"Then I'm looking forward to working with Childe next time!"
Xia Jiuding said from the bottom of his heart, and then his demeanor suddenly became a little cowardly, "Since my son and I have agreed, now, can I ask my son to pay a little deposit first?"
"Deposit?" Wang Yue's voice was slightly cold when he heard this.
The five hundred taels of silver tickets he paid to Xia Jiuding earlier had actually included the deposit and reward for the next entry into the mountain.
Hire a guide to enter the wilderness, thirty taels of silver, and it will be enough. Five hundred taels of silver is enough to hire the most senior guide in Qingyu City to enter and exit the Wild Mountain Range for ten round-trips!
What Wang Yue hates the most is the insatiable person.
"The reason why I did this is because my mother ......" Xia Jiuding's face suddenly darkened:
"A month ago, I was seriously ill, and my mother secretly entered the Wild Mountains to collect medicine from me. Maybe it's fate, she just entered the mountain, and she found a herb that could heal me, but next to the herb, there was a group of wolves ......"
"Although there was a warrior in the end, barely saved my mother's life, but half of her face, was bitten by wolves, and now my mother is lying on the bed, the doctor of the hospital said, only five hundred years of ginseng, can keep my mother's life, but, but I ......"
Wang Yue's heart suddenly trembled, and his mother's kind smile suddenly appeared in front of him: "How much is missing?"
When Xia Jiuding heard this, he took a deep breath and hesitated for a while, then he said cautiously:
"I've been running around lately, barely raising a thousand taels, plus the five hundred taels you bounced, for a total of one thousand five hundred taels, and eight thousand five hundred taels less...... The critical time of one month is too short, otherwise it ......"
Wang Yue waved his hand, and stuffed a stack of silver tickets into Xia Jiuding's hand without changing his face: "This is 10,000 taels of silver tickets, then go!"
"This, this ......"
Xia Jiuding was shocked when he saw this, and subconsciously waved his hand, wanting to refuse. But in the end, he still took the silver ticket with both hands, bowed to Wang Yue from the bottom of his heart, and when he spoke again, his voice was already choked:
"Thank you Childe, thank you Childe, Xia Jiuding thank you Childe for saving your life!"
Wang Yue waved his sleeves slightly: "Why is there so much nonsense? Hurry up and buy ginseng!"
"Yes, yes, I'll take my leave!"
Xia Jiuding arched his hand to Wang Yue at a loss, turned around and ran out of Dong Ji grocery store as fast as he could.
Wang Yue watched Xia Jiuding's back as he left like a gust of wind, sighed silently in his heart, and even raised the curtain, wanting to leave.
However, at this moment, the big shopkeeper of Dong Ji Grocery Store suddenly opened his mouth and called Wang Yue to stop:
"This little friend, a huge amount of gold, aren't you afraid of being deceived?"
Wang Yue smiled freely: "If I am deceived, there will also be one less mother in the world who suffers for her son." What's the point of spending a lot of money on this?"
"Even if you are deceived, there is one less mother in the world who suffers for her son?......"
"Yes, if that man is a liar, then the mother who was bitten by a wolf for his son, as he said, does not exist. Such a young offspring, every word and deed, actually contains such a mystery!"
The big shopkeeper stared at him, and when he looked at Wang Yue again, his gaze was already different: "I can't avoid the truth or falsehood of a good sentence! This little friend, I have something here, maybe when you go to the Great Xia Auction Hall, it can come in handy!"
As he spoke, the big shopkeeper took out a palm-sized piece of crystal ancient jade from his sleeve, and stuffed it into Wang Yue's hand without saying anything: "Xiaoyou, don't refuse, this thing is worthless, and it can be of some use in the Great Xia Auction House!"
Wang Yue frowned, but he stretched out without a trace: "Then thank you to the big shopkeeper!"
"Well, the children can be taught!"
The big shopkeeper touched his goatee with a smile, and when he spoke again, he was meaningful: "Young man, if you have any problems in the future, you can come to my Dong Ji grocery store! Although the old man is not good at force, he still has knowledge!"
Wang Yue glanced at the big shopkeeper, and finally bowed like Xia Jiuding, then calmly turned around and left slowly.
"Dong Lao, what's so special about that hillbilly? It's actually worth your own hands and cultivation?"
As soon as Wang Yue left, the inner door of Dong Kee's grocery store was pushed open, and a beautiful girl in a fiery red dress walked out of the inner courtyard.
