Chapter XVII

Looking at the things that Shi Yujun was holding in his hand, the people in the guild hall were silent, and the quiet needles in the entire guild hall could be heard.

The people sitting in the VIP room all stood up, their faces full of incredulity!

In the No. 1 private room of Tianzi, Hou Batian's eyes widened angrily, staring like copper bells. "How did this stuff end up at auction?

It's no wonder that the people in the hall were shocked. Because no matter where this thing is placed, it will cause a bloody storm.

The thing that Shi Yujun was holding in his hand was called ginseng fruit. There are not many people who have really seen ginseng fruit. But even ordinary people know it.

The fruit is about 20 centimeters high and 8 centimeters wide. This fruit is shaped like a child, with a nose and eyes, and it is lifelike. The whole body is carved like white jade, exuding bursts of white light. It looks extremely supernatural.

The special and supernatural appearance makes ordinary people remember it, but what really makes people want to get it is because of its function.

No one knows where it grows, but every 90 years it shoots out nine fruits, also known as ginseng fruits, around the world.

Legend has it that ginseng fruit blooms every 30 years, bears fruit every 30 years, and matures every 30 years. A total of nine pieces have matured in 90 years. When it matures, it automatically flies around the world, and then causes a bloody rain!

Although the ginseng fruit has only one function, it makes people want to have it, and its function is to increase one's potential.

For example, Jiang Jue's potential level is six stars, and after he takes the ginseng fruit, his potential can be raised to seven stars, which is a full one-star level.

Of course, for people whose own potential is lower than seven stars, taking ginseng fruit has a certain chance of increasing the level of one star, while those with potential above seven stars taking ginseng fruit have a certain chance of increasing the price of half a star. Note that there is a certain chance, not 100%. After all, nothing is absolute!

But even that was enough to drive people crazy. To improve one's own potential is to improve one's own talents.

In this world, if you want to become a strong person, you must meet three conditions: talent, exercises, and secret methods. Among them, talent comes first. Because even if you have god-level exercises and god-level secret methods, but your own talent is rubbish, you won't do anything big.

But on the contrary, even if you don't have powerful exercises and secret methods, but your talent is amazing enough, sooner or later you will become a strong person. Therefore, it is only right that the people in the hall are crazy.

Looking at the crazy crowd in the hall, Shi Yujun didn't feel strange, because he was also extremely interested in ginseng fruit. He cleared his throat and shouted:

"Everyone knows the value of ginseng fruit, so I won't say more. Originally, we wanted to buy this item privately with the seller, but the seller did not agree, so in the auction of ginseng fruit, we at Aoyama Kaikan also participated in it. Now, the finale of this auction, the ginseng fruit, is open for bidding, with a reserve price of 400,000 gold coins!"

Under the sky-high price of 400,000 gold coins, the scene was a little chilly.

Facing a somewhat embarrassing cold situation, Shi Yujun didn't have any unusual looks, because he knew very well the attraction of this ginseng fruit, and some people, I'm afraid that even if they were bankrupt, they wanted to take this thing into their pockets.

As he expected, the cold scene did not last long, and a somewhat bald middle-aged man first shouted out the price: "Four hundred and one thousand." ”

Jiang Jue glanced at the voice, he knew this bald middle-aged man, this is the weapon tycoon of Utopia City, who almost monopolizes the sales of weapons in Utopia City, although the power is not the top, but he is also a big man.

"Four hundred and thirty thousand. After the middle-aged man shouted the price, an old man in black also followed.

The old man in black is a big medicine merchant in Utan City, and he has several medicinal herb shops under his hands, and he is also wealthy.

They all walked out of their respective private rooms, and now they are in the hall to participate in the competition for ginseng fruits!

His eyes glared at the old man fiercely, and the bald middle-aged man shouted again: "Four hundred and sixty thousand!"

In the venue, there were scattered shouts of bidding, after all, after such a long time of auction, most people have more or less auctioned something. At this time, the high price of 400,000 yuan is enough to discourage too many people.

"800,000!" When the two people who walked out of the private room were already strong and middle-working, in the Tianzi No. 1 private room, Hou Batian finally spoke coldly.

As soon as Hou Batian's shout came out, the two softened, shook their heads helplessly, and withdrew from the competition.

The withdrawal of the first-class forces in Utopia City also represents the beginning of the final competition for ginseng fruit.

"Eight hundred and thirty thousand gold coins!" After Hou Batian spoke, Feng Xue, the owner of the Qingshan Guild Hall, also spoke.

"Eight hundred and fifty thousand. Hou Batian continued to shout.

"Nine hundred thousand!"

Hou Batian and Feng Xue have been shouting the price, but Sun Xuanwen just looked at it lightly and didn't participate, because he was waiting for the limit of the price that the two of them could offer.

"One hundred and fifty thousand gold coins! Feng Xue gave Hou someone a face, this time Hou owes you a favor. Hou Batian shouted.

Feng Xue didn't pay attention to Hou Batian, although he was the city lord of this city, Feng Xue was not afraid of him. There is no need to give him face either. He continued to shout, "One million two hundred thousand gold coins!"

"Okay, Feng Xue, you have a kind! I will remember you. One million two hundred and twenty thousand!" Hou Ba shouted in a hurry. In his heart, Feng Xue has been blacklisted and will be killed sooner or later!

The price is still rising, and Hou Batian and Feng Xue both want to get the ginseng fruit in their pockets. So, no one will back down.

In the end, after Hou Batian shouted "The price of one million and three hundred and eighty thousand, Feng Xue chose to withdraw."

After all, Hou Batian is the lord of a city, and Feng Xuezai can make money, but he can't compare to Hou Batian's resources in a city. Therefore, it is reasonable to lose to Hou Batian.

Just when Hou Batian was overjoyed that he was about to get the ginseng fruit, Sun Xuanwen's indifferent voice came from room No. 2 of Tianzi, "One million and four million!"

Hou Batian's gaze immediately became cold, and his eyes glanced at Sun Xuanwen viciously, and Hou Batian shouted angrily, "One million and four hundred and twenty thousand!"

Without any consideration, Sun Xuanwen followed the price and said: "One million four hundred and fifty thousand!"

Hou Batian has been on the verge of rage, how many years, since Sun Xuanwen came to Utopia City, he has been against him. Didn't let him have a good day!

Hou Batian clenched his fists, and the bones in his hands were pinched. scolded Sun Xuanwen: "The surname Sun, you have to fight against Lao Tzu for everything! Your son's potential has reached the terrifying eight-star, why do you need ginseng fruit, Lao Tzu's daughter's potential is only six stars, and I will get ginseng fruit!"

Jiang Jue listened to Hou Batian's angry scolding, and looked at Sun Tian who was dragging his right hand with some surprise. "The potential of the junior disciple has actually reached eight stars. Hearing that Hou Batian's daughter's potential was six stars, Jiang Jue looked down at himself, revealing a thoughtful expression.

After a short silence, Sun Xuanwen's voice came slowly: "Hou Batian, I can understand your feelings, but I also have a reason why I have to shoot ginseng fruit." So, go ahead. ”

Sun Xuanwen's answer indicated that the negotiations between the two had come to an end. Although Hou Batian is the lord of the city, he also has a lot of money. For the sake of his daughter, he decided to take a desperate gamble and gamble all the family's liquidity. His eyes were red, and his voice was hoarse, and he shouted, "One million five hundred and seventy thousand!"

It has been directly increased from 1,450,000 gold coins to 1,570,000 gold coins. shows that Hou Batian is already the last fight.

But Lady Luck did not stand behind him, and Sun Xuanwen's voice completely dashed Hou Batian's hopes. "One million six million!"

One million five hundred and seventy thousand gold coins was already the limit that Hou Batian could take. Originally, Hou Batian couldn't shout up when he was 1.3 million, but for the sake of his daughter, he gritted his teeth.

But Sun Xuanwen shouted 1.6 million, but he couldn't shout anymore, because shouting again would affect the family's economy. may bring an unforeseen crisis to the family, and as a last resort, Hou Batian can only choose to give up.

Seeing that Hou Batian gave up the competition, Shi Yujun excitedly dropped the hammer and announced the ginseng fruit that Sun Xuanwen auctioned. One million gold coins, this is the highest price ever paid by the Aoyama Guild Hall in the Kaihui Hall auction, which will be recorded, and the auctioneer of this auction is Shi Yujun.

Just when Feng Xue was about to advertise the end of the auction, Hou Batian stopped him. "I remember that the auction had to be paid on the spot, and I didn't believe that he, Sun Xuanwen, could come up with 1.6 million gold coins. ”

If Sun Xuanwen can't come up with 1.6 million gold coins, then in the end, the ginseng fruit will fall into the hands of Hou Batian, who is the second bidder.

Sure enough, it was not as expected by Hou Batian. Sun Xuanwen shook his head, indicating that the money he took was indeed not enough for 1.6 million gold coins.

Hou Batian laughed loudly. "It's really a twist and turn, and the ginseng fruit is still mine. Just when Hou Batian wanted to retrieve the ginseng fruit, Sun Xuanwen broke his good self-state: "I said that I didn't take 1.6 million, but I didn't say that I couldn't afford 1.6 million." ”

Hou Batian couldn't understand what Sun Xuanwen meant, and he asked suspiciously, "What do you mean?"

Sun Xuanwen glanced at Hou Batian lightly, and there was disdain in his eyes. "Actually, this is thanks to Master Hou, my grandson Xuanwen is a village man, he doesn't have much money, unlike Master Hou. There is no way, so I have to take out my treasure "Tianyang Change" for auction, thank you Hou Ye can give a high price of 830,000 gold coins. ”

"I went out this time with 800,000 gold coins, plus the 830,000 that Hou Ye bought "Tianyang Change", a total of 1.63 million, so I can still afford the ginseng fruit. ”

Feng Xue nodded on the side, proving that what Sun Xuanwen said was true.

Hou Batian didn't come back in one breath, and directly spurted out a mouthful of blood. Sun Xuanwen's meaning is that he was calculated from the beginning. Let him buy "Tianyang Change" at a high price, and unknowingly, his total funds have decreased by 830,000, and his total funds have increased by 830,000, which is a difference of 1.66 million yuan this time.

It can be said that Sun Xuanwen took the lead from the beginning and kept leading him by the nose.

In the end, the ginseng fruit was auctioned off by Sun Xuanwen at a sky-high price of 1.6 million. And Hou Batian stood at the door of the Qingshan Hall, looking at Sun Xuanwen's departing back, a trace of coldness flashed in his eyes, "Sun Xuanwen, you are too flamboyant!"
