Chapter 288: Water Canopy Tree
Yuan Ming was immediately surprised after listening to Puppet Jiu's introduction, and he didn't expect that the auction had just begun, and there was a lot like "Red Fire Heart Method", which was still the core technique of a sect.
Yuan Ming remembered that when he once possessed Ulu, he saw that the task he received from the clan was to steal the "Red Fire Heart Method".
Ulu has succeeded again!
At the same time, he was worried about Ulu again, although he didn't know much about the Huo Yuan Sect, but at least it was a sect with a wide ancestor, and now a core technique was put up for auction by the people of the Tianxiang Auction in such a grand manner, isn't Ulu's family afraid of getting into trouble?
Just as he was thinking this, in the box, suddenly a bare-faced old man in brocade stood up, arched his hand towards the entire venue, and said loudly:
"I am Luo Tian, the elder of the Huoyuan Sect, the sect is unfortunate, not long ago there was a traitor, who stole my sect's exercises out of the auction, and asked all Taoist friends to reward the next thin noodles, do not bid, and afterwards the sect also has another thin gift."
"Hehe, no wonder this Tianxiang auction will use anonymous bidding, it turns out that it is preparing to pit the Huo Yuanzong, and now there is a good show." Wang Chongshan smiled, looking like he didn't think it was a big deal to see the excitement, turned around and said to Yuan Ming:
"I have heard that the city lord of this small lake city, before entering the Yuan Infant, had a grudge with this Huo Yuan Sect, the specific reason is now unclear, but it is said that the rapid decline of the Huo Yuan Sect, he has made a lot of efforts behind the back, this time too, the real person behind the Tianxiang auction is him, and he made a special trip to put the Huo Yuan Sect exercises in the first auction, not only to stir up the atmosphere, but also to disgust the Huo Yuan Sect, but I estimate that in the end, it will only pit the Huo Yuan Sect for a sum of money, and the exercises should not fall into the hands of others, Otherwise, once other sects hurt them, the city lord's life would not be easy. ”。
"According to Wang Daoyou, I'm afraid that the Huo Yuan Sect's exercises were also stolen by the city lord." Yuan Ming asked knowingly.
"Most of the time, but if you really investigate, it must have nothing to do with the city lord, Hagong Daoyou may not see much of this kind of thing, you know, no matter where the Central Plains is, there will never be a shortage of people who do dirty work, and the people who really work in the end probably don't know what they are doing with this thing, even if they are caught, they can't tell who is the mastermind." Wang Chongshan said.
On the other side, Luo Tian's statement was obviously useless, the price quoted from the puppet Jiu's mouth rose all the way, almost never stopped, and Luo Tian's face became gloomy and ugly little by little, just kept bidding.
”..... Twenty-one thousand four hundred spirit stones, is there anything more expensive than this? After Puppet Jiu quoted another price, he looked around, and waited for a moment before he nodded, closed the wooden box, and put it back on the stone platform.
Seeing this, Luo Tian suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and left the box directly, obviously not wanting to stay here for a moment.
The price of 21,400 spirit stones, buy a book of exercises that can be cultivated to the end of the pill, Yuan Ming doesn't know if this price is expensive, but for Huo Yuan Sect, even if he spends more spirit stones, he definitely doesn't want the exercises to spread.
But a sect bought its own exercises at a price far beyond common sense, and as soon as the Tianxiang auction ended, the news spread, and many people would definitely laugh out loud because of it.
The move of the city lord of Xiaohu City, Lu City, can be described as a yang conspiracy, trampling the face and lining of the Huo Yuan Sect under his feet, and the strength of his Yuan Yuan Sect made the Huo Yuan Sect dare not speak out.
In the world of cultivating immortals, after all, you still have to speak with strength.
Yuan Ming sighed with emotion, and then turned his attention back to the auction.
"Next is the second lot of this auction, three pieces of Moonlight Iron, taken from ....."
On the stage, Puppet Jiu took out a lot with its own characteristics, including spiritual elixirs and magic talismans, and no matter which one it was, she blew it all out of the blue, as if if she didn't buy it was a regret in her life.
Under her auspices, many lots were sold at least 20% higher than the usual price, obviously anonymous bidding, and no one shouted in public, but the atmosphere became hotter and hotter, and Yuan Ming was quite surprised to see it.
But soon, Yuan Ming found the clue.
Every time Puppet Nine makes a bid, there will be slight differences in the sound used, it sounds like different people are bidding, and in the auction venue, it seems that special magic instruments are also arranged, and string music has been playing outward, connecting Puppet Jiu's voice together, leaving no blank space, obviously interfering with people's normal thinking, making the atmosphere of the venue more and more enthusiastic.
Yuan Ming was never carried away, occasionally took a fancy to a few lots, participated in the bidding, and only clicked to the end, once the price exceeded expectations, he would stop immediately.
In this way, he did not buy a single lot until the halfway point of the auction.
However, as Puppet Jiu picked up another lot from the rising stone platform, Yuan Ming suddenly sat up straight.
"The next lot is from the Xuanhua Lingxiang Shop in Xiaohu City."
"The three incense sticks in my hand now are the secret incense of the Xuanhua Lingxiang Shop, the material is extremely rare, and it is rare that this incense does not have any aura fluctuations after it is ignited, and it is completely silent."
At this point, there was a soft shout in the room, and some people began to whisper.
"As long as the smoke of this incense is inhaled, even a monk in the foundation building period will fall into a coma for a short time, and thus be slaughtered by others. The only drawback of this incense is that it is not effective to use in an open place, and how to use it depends on your play. At the request of the owner of the Xuanhua Lingxiang Shop, a total of three will be sold in this auction, and the starting price of each is 100 spirit stones. Due to the limited materials, this incense is not sold in stores. ”
As soon as Puppet Jiu finished introducing it, his expression moved, and he immediately said: "Okay, now there are Daoists who have bid one hundred and ten spirit stones, I don't know...... It seems that many Taoist friends have taken a fancy to this incense, and the price has risen to one hundred and twenty spirit stones, no, it is one hundred and fifty spirit stones, and there are still Taoist friends who need to bid? ”
Yuan Ming listened to the ever-changing prices in the puppet Jiu's mouth, and a smile gradually appeared on his face.
Soon, the three incense sticks that Yuan Ming took out were auctioned off, and the prices were all higher than expected, excluding the commission, a total of nearly six hundred spirit stones were added to Yuan Ming's income.
Yuan Ming took out the incense for auction, tried and tested many times in actual combat, and took it out at this time, it was also to test the value of his incense, and to earn an extra sum of spirit stones was secondary, mainly to take advantage of the gathering of monks in the city to completely start the reputation of the Xuanhua Lingxiang Shop.
On the high platform, Puppet Jiu finished auctioning Yuan Ming's spiritual incense, and immediately took out the next lot.
"The following lot can be said to be the most special lot in this auction."
As he spoke, Puppet Nine opened the wooden box containing the lot and showed the contents.
Lying in the box is an emerald green wooden stake, although it has been cut down, it does not show the slightest hint of decay and withering, and on the side of the stump, there are several small shoots of different sizes, exuding a faint brilliance, which looks quite magical.
"This spiritual tree used to parasitize five purple mushrooms associated with the spiritual wood, this spiritual mushroom not only has outstanding medicinal properties, but also the parasitic spiritual wood is impregnated by it, and it will also produce some special changes, making it full of vigorous vitality. The Leaning Wood Purple Mushroom has now been taken, and this spirit wood is also an extremely good high-grade spiritual material after special treatment, which is very suitable for refining wood-based magic weapons. The most rare thing is that after identification, this is a thousand-year-level spiritual wood. Puppet Jiu gushed introducing.
This is the first time that a thousand-year-level spiritual material has appeared in this auction, and at this time, all the monks have their eyes on the lot in the hands of Puppet Jiu, and their eager eyes are eager to swallow the stake directly.
But at this moment, an old man's hoarse voice came from a box: "I'm afraid the introduction of this lot is not complete, right?" If I'm not mistaken, this spiritual wood comes from a thousand-year-old water crown tree, and the water and wood aura contained in it conflicts with each other, and it is impossible to use it as the main material for refining magic weapons! ”
"Senior Song really has good eyesight. However, after all, this spirit wood has gone through thousands of years, even if it cannot be used as the main material for refining, if it undergoes some special treatment, it still has a certain value as an auxiliary material for the promotion of high-grade magic weapons, and everyone present is an elite from all walks of life, and it is still unknown if it can be used better. To sum up, the starting price of this lot is set at 3,000 spirit stones, which can be said to be very fair. Puppet Jiu admitted it frankly, and after some explanation, he quickly quoted the starting price.
After hearing her words, the monks in the hall regained their composure and began to talk one after another.
Yuan Ming knew through everyone's discussion that the water crown tree is a very special spirit wood, as the old man surnamed Song in the box said, it has two kinds of aura, water and wood, and always maintains a state of conflict between each other, so although there is a thousand years of precipitation, but it is used as the main material of the refining tool, the value is not high, often the magic weapon will be easily scrapped in the refining process, and the medicinal value is not high, and the millennium spirit wood as an auxiliary material is too luxurious, and some are other auxiliary materials as a substitute.
Puppet Nine started the auction after everyone gradually stopped talking, but this time it was unexpectedly cold, and no one bid for a long time.
"It seems that fellow Daoists are not very interested in this spirit wood, it doesn't matter, there are more treasures waiting for you in the back. So I announce this auction..... Wait, someone is bidding three thousand spirit stones! Three thousand spirit stones for the first time, are there any other Daoist friends bidding? Three thousand spirit stones ..... for the second time" Just as Puppet Nine was about to announce that the auction had failed, he suddenly paused slightly, and then said.
However, Puppet Jiu's last efforts did not work, except for the unknown monk who made the reserve price at the last moment, everyone on the scene watched coldly, and no one followed the offer.
In the end, this thousand-year-old water-crowned tree spirit wood was sold at the reserve price of 3,000 spirit stones.
