Chapter 14 The Fish in the Pond, the Pillow Month 6

After selling two low-end goods, the finale finally arrived.

(I know the finale is the penultimate meaning, please allow me to take it as the penultimate here to Sister Li, thank you, by the way, Sister Li is not a typo.) )

"The last one, that is, the finale of this auction," Zhao Xuantan personally pushed up this commodity, "Don't say much, presumably everyone is here for this, the reserve price is three million taels, and the price increase shall not be less than 200,000 taels each time, Xuanjing Xin, start the auction!"

Su Xuan was stunned when he heard this name, and then waited for Zhao Xuantan to open the cloth covering Xuan Jingxin, and a red Xuanjing heart appeared in front of everyone, bewitching.

"It's the one in Zuo Tsing Yi. Su Xuan said, "Why...... He's going to sell Xuanjing Heart?"

The Xuanjing Heart is a good thing, put it in any cave, and then apply the Xuanjing, and wait for a year and a half to create the Xuanjing vein, which can make a force develop.

"Who knows. "The only one who can really understand Su Xuan's words is the dust. She said to Su Xuan in a voice, "Maybe he also has his own troubles, Kunlun Mountain is very chaotic, even the chief disciple can't live very freely." ”

Su Xuan didn't say anything anymore. Su Xuan's master, the previous Emperor Xuanhuang was a disciple of Kunlun, and Fuchen understood his master's experience, so he had a lot of right to speak.

Back to the auction floor.

"Ten million!" Someone immediately raised the price.

"Fifteen million!"

"Eighteen million!"

"Twenty million!"

The reserve price of 3 million and the minimum markup price of 200,000 may seem high, but they are simply insignificant in front of these crazy bidders, and everyone seems to be crazy and wants to throw all their money into it......

Su Xuan didn't shout.

Wan Wenguang and Wan Le'an were very curious, Wan Le'an approached Su Xuan and asked, "Mr. Su, this Xuanjing heart ......?"

"It's a good thing, and it deserves to be reserved for the finale, and we must fight for it. Su Xuan continued his words and said, "But before the fight, I still have a question to ask." ”

"What's the problem?" Wan Wenguang said curiously.

"When will Jiangnan City start?" asked Su Xuan.

"Let's fight?" Wan Wenguang is still the second monk of Zhang, puzzled.

And Wan Le'an had a clue: "You mean, start fighting for hegemony?"

There was a system in the old Zhaoguo, and in order to centralize the monarchy, a major reshuffle of magistrates would be carried out every seven years. Unqualified city lords will be directly washed down, qualified city lords will be transferred to other places, and excellent city lords will be recruited into the palace.

And at this time, it is time to start a year-long battle for supremacy. If the city lord's mansion can be suppressed by the rebellious forces, then the city lord will be the successor at the end of the year, if not, whoever can grab the ring of the city lord can be the city lord! Of course, some cities do not have city lords at the beginning, after all, there will be many city lords who will be washed down, and many city lords will be transferred to the palace, so when this happens, it will be a real big family struggle for hegemony.

Every battle for supremacy will make the whole city bleed, but there is no doubt that it is a screening of the best occultists.

Old Zhao was not afraid that this kind of turmoil would hurt his vitality, and the real elite troops of Old Zhao were the officials in the capital and the troops guarding the frontier. The former focuses on individual strength, while the latter focuses on overall quality. Like what kind of family and what city lord's mansion, if the old call really uses these powers, it will really be over. When you become the lord of the city, it is possible to be selected into the old summoning capital, or even enter the palace.

Generally speaking, for example, there are four major families like Chang'an in Jiangnan, and the new city lord will be born within the four major families, and the rest of the cities, like Cangzhou Yungui, only have three major families, and the new city lord is generally born within the three major families. The small family can only take advantage of the chaos to become a big family, and then plan for seven years to participate in the firefight.

Of course, there are also big families who lose many times after the fight, and the small families take the opportunity to take the position. But often emaciated camels are larger than horses, and this is still a minority.

"That's right. Su Xuan said, "That's what I asked." He also listened to Xie Chaoge's words, Xie Chaoge said that the time of the hegemony between each city and each city is not the same, and it depends on the time when the city lord arrives, but it will not be more than a year at most.

Wan Le'an frowned: "There is still one year, and within half a year after the Tianxuan test, there will be a battle for hegemony." Obviously, Wan Le'an was not very well prepared, so he would show a sad face when he heard this topic.

Su Xuan nodded, and then said, "Then within this year, what can you gain if you get the Xuanjing Heart?"

This Wan Le'an really didn't think about it.

"Xuanjing Xin can provide you with a piece of Xuanjing ore vein, but just to make this ore vein, you have to wait for half a year for the mineral to appear, and then how should you turn around in this half a year to return to your capital?" Su Xuan asked, "Don't forget, you need to buy this thing, if you can't make back your capital within this time, or you just earned back your capital but wasted your labor, it will be a loss." ”

The Xuanjing vein is a great treasure for the people of the old Zhaoguo, because the old Zhaoguo did not have the Xuanjing mine, and the Xuanjing ore did not circulate. However, Kunlun circulates, and some of Kunlun's exclusive specialties are only allowed to be exchanged with Xuanjing ore, which can also be used to assist in cultivation, which is many times better than things like silver that can only be spent but not used.

If a merchant gets his hands on the Xuanjing mine, it means that he has opened a new channel for trade with Kunlun. What a profit it is to be able to open up a new trade channel, any merchant will be greedy when he sees it.

So everyone present grabbed this like crazy, but no one thought that this thing was useless.

Only Su Xuan objected.

But Rao is like this, Wan Le'an is still obsessed: "If you buy this Xuanjing Heart, you can buy some elixir magic weapons from Kunlun, and you can always enhance some strength......"

"It's useless. Su Xuan smiled, "Do you think that after placing the Xuanjing Heart, you can dig the Xuanjing Mine infinitely?"

As he spoke, Su Xuan took out his pocket, took out a commemorative lower-grade Xuanjing, and threw it into Wan Le'an's hands: "This is a lower-grade Xuanjing, which is equivalent to one or two pieces of silver in Kunlun, just this thing, a laborer can only dig out one piece a day." ”

Zuo Qingyi said that a laborer can dig out three pieces without eating or drinking, and according to the calculation of four hours of work every day, he can only dig out one piece.

"If you want to buy a magic weapon worth one million taels of silver in Kunlun, you need 10,000 laborers to work for a hundred days in a row. Of course, you can also let the occult sorcerer dig it, are you willing to let the occult sorcerer waste his cultivation time to dig any mines for you?" Su Xuan said.

Seeing that Wan Le'an was still stunned, Su Xuan continued: "Think about it carefully, there were 10,000 laborers in the Wanjiajia, can you really get this million low-grade Xuanjing? Even if you can get it, what you get is Xuanjing Mine, and it takes time to make it into the Xuanjing coin in Kunlun circulation, and the precious time is spent on a magic weapon, which magic weapon in Kunlun is so precious that you work so hard?"

"You may also say that this thing can be used to assist in cultivation, you try to use this Xuanjing. ”

Saying that, Wan Le'an tried it and found that he couldn't absorb the Xuan power in the Xuan Jing, and he looked at Su Xuan suspiciously.

"This is a low-grade Xuanjing, it is only useful for human-level Xuanjing, if you want to improve the strength of a ground-level Xuanjing, you must dig out a medium-grade Xuanjing, I am afraid that only one medium-grade Xuanjing can be produced in a hundred lower-grade Xuanjing, and the exchange ratio is also one hundred lower-grade Xuanjing than a medium-grade Xuanjing, which means that you may only be able to produce 10,000 medium-grade Xuanjing in a hundred days. ”

As he spoke, Su Xuan took back the commemorative Xuanjing again: "You can't let your human-level occultists fight, ground-level mysticists are the backbone of the struggle for hegemony, this thing can't help the ground-level mysticists in the short term, you can keep the money and wait until the battle for hegemony begins to compete with others." ”

After listening to Su Xuan's words, Wan Le'an calmed down a little.

If you can save this money, it will definitely be good for the hegemony.

"Why are they so happy to grab it?" asked Wan Wenguang.

"Because ......" Su Xuan glanced outside, "Some people's brains are still dizzy, and they think that if they get Xuanjing Heart, they will get endless treasures and have beautiful dreams...... The other part of the people thought more clearly, if the battle for hegemony began, this Xuanjing Heart would definitely not be able to escape Jiangnan City, but if the Xuanjing Heart fell into the City Lord's Mansion, no one would want to get it! Wanjia's own capital is not strong enough, if you don't do this wronged boss, whoever likes to do it will do it! We will defend this Xuanjing Heart. ”

Some families are proud of their own capital, and they still overwhelm the others when they advance the money to buy Xuan Jingxin. They can afford this money, and they have the guts to face the City Lord's Mansion just face-to-face. After all, the city lord is leaving, and his control over the entire city is gradually decreasing. Some city lords don't want to care about it themselves, they love to make trouble, so they don't want to disturb the peace of the city lord's mansion.

This is not the case with Wanjia. On the contrary, Su Xuan believes that Wanjia is actually the weaker party. If Wanjia is strong enough, then why are treasure connoisseurs monopolized? If Wanjia can really be in the forefront, how can it not even be able to invite a treasure connoisseur.

If the Wanjia family is either ostracized and attacked by a group, it is too weak, and its name is the last of the four major families. No matter what the situation is, Wanjia must preserve its strength, sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and wait for the opportunity to reap the benefits.

And Su Xuan is afraid that this is a pit, if the Wanjia family is the family that is excluded, then this Xuanjing Heart is likely to be a pit dug specifically for the Wanjia. Wan Jia bought this Xuanjing heart, but it really fell into a situation from which it could never be recovered.

All in all, this Xuanjing Heart currently has all kinds of harm and no benefit, and there is no need to buy it.

In the end, Xuan Jingxin was taken away by the Zhou family for 50.8 million. The head of the Zhou family was triumphant, and it seemed that he was the kind of "brain still dizzy" that Su Xuan said, while the head of the merchant and the Han family looked as usual, and it seemed that they had done everything before, and these two families were the real rivals.

As for the City Lord's Mansion...... Indeed, the financial resources of the City Lord's Mansion are not as good as those of the big families, and there is nothing they can do, they can't open a small stove for themselves while managing the merchants. If this is the case, then in seven years, this city lord will not be the city lord, Emperor Yan waved his pen, you all go to the frontier to drink the northwest wind.

It was because when they first started filming that talisman they were still afraid of the City Lord's Mansion, after all, no one wanted to have a hard time with the City Lord's Mansion in this last year, but when this Xuanjing Heart was put on the shelves, it had already completely torn its face.

Everyone was robbing, even including the Wanjia family, who Su Xuan had persuaded for a while, and they still shouted the price twice. The law doesn't blame the public, and the City Lord's Mansion is not good at getting angry with the four major families, right?

Finally, the auction came to an end, and it seemed that the struggle was over, but the real struggle had just begun.

Politely rejecting the olive branch of the Wan family, Su Xuan put away the hairpin and goldfish bowl and prepared to go back to the inn.
