Chapter Ninety-Six: The One Who Pays the Highest Gets It (Three Watches)
The first stage of the Doudan competition ended, and several families were happy and some were sad.
However, Yi Hao of Qushui City and Xu Zhen of Wasteland City did not leave the show, because the elixir auction of the five groups of contestants was about to start.
Old Ghost Muyun naturally will not pay for these expensive medicinal materials himself, but transfer the cost to other onlookers, take this opportunity to make a profit, and share it with the contestants, which is a way to get the best of both worlds, which shows that he is still a very smart person.
"Brother Rough Man, this pill is equivalent to what you refined, no matter how much money you sell, it is also yours, and I won't take a pen. ”
Liu Bingqian's beautiful eyes flashed with a smile, now that she has advanced to the next round of the competition, her mood is naturally very refreshing.
As for the matter of the auction, she didn't care about it at all, and planned to leave it to Ye Zifeng to take care of.
Ye Zifeng smiled slightly, stared at the sidelines for a while, and turned his head.
"If you really don't want to take a piece of the gold coins, I'm afraid you'll cry with regret later. ”
Liu Bingqian chuckled and said coquettishly: "Look at what you said, am I, Liu Bingqian, the kind of person who sees money and has an eye for money?
Ye Zifeng smiled faintly and sighed with emotion.
Perhaps, it is precisely because when he and Liu Bingqian are together, the other party has always treated him sincerely, that he will treat her as a friend, regardless of what her surname is.
If not, just because of one Liu Ningzi, he doesn't want to deal with anyone from the Liu family.
......
"The elixir refined by Xu Zhen in Wasteland City, is there a higher price, four hundred gold coins once, four hundred gold coins twice! Okay, that's four hundred gold coins!"
Xu Zhen looked at Yi Hao with a smile, because the latter's elixir was only sold for three hundred gold coins.
Since the competition is temporarily suspended, it is considered halftime, and people who like to watch the excitement have started to talk about it.
"A mortal pill furnace is sold, and it will only cost three hundred gold coins if it dies, but I didn't expect Lord Mu Yun to be really shrewd in doing things, two pills took advantage of the large number of people, and sold them, which is the income of seven hundred gold coins, and if it is divided into fifty or five, that is, three hundred and fifty gold coins, the money for medicinal materials has long been enough. ”
"That's not all, now it's just the pills of the last two eliminated people who are auctioned, who knows what kind of price the top three pills will be auctioned?!"
The old ghost Mu Yun smiled slightly, and continued to preside over the auction, which was tantamount to speculation and sale.
Since everyone has seen it with their own eyes, there is no place to deceive, so everyone's bid is relatively refreshing, not only to buy the pill for their own use, but also to show their own financial resources and show their strength on a good stage!
"The Zengyuan Pill refined by Hua Shao in Copper Fire City, quality assurance, Tong Su is not bullied, Hua Shao has already told me, if it is less than six hundred gold coins, he will not sell the pill!"
"Seven hundred, I'll give you seven hundred gold coins!" came the first price increase in the crowd so far.
"I ...... I'll give you seven hundred and fifty gold coins!"
"Eight hundred gold coins!"
Once the word is settled, no one dares to raise the price again.
Eight hundred gold coins to buy a pill is equivalent to doubling it directly on the basis of Xu Zhen, and in fact, the true value of the pill refined by Hua Shao is at most six hundred gold coins.
Ye Zifeng smiled faintly and looked at Liu Bingqian: "What do you think of this price?"
Liu Bingqian pondered for a moment and blinked her big eyes: "It feels a little expensive, but it can't be considered outrageous." ”
Ye Zifeng nodded slightly, glanced at the crowd meaningfully, and continued: "If I'm not mistaken, this Hua Shao specially invited someone to increase the price for him. ”
"You can see that?"
Ye Zifeng smiled in his eyes and pointed to the person who was shouting seven hundred and fifty gold coins in the crowd just now: "When everyone was alchemy just now, I had already noticed that Hua Shao and this person had several eye contacts, and in my experience, these two people must have something to do with each other." ”
"Didn't you instruct me at that time?
Liu Bingqian's face was stunned, she had been facing away from Ye Zifeng before, and she couldn't see what he was doing.
"What ...... this" In fact, Ye Zifeng has been looking around all the time, and he has been deserting almost the whole time!
Liu Bingqian's face changed slightly, and she exclaimed softly: "However, this is unlikely, you know, this is a violation of the regulations." ”
"Violating the rules? No, Hua Shao is very smart, as long as she doesn't find an acquaintance to cheat and be the one who makes the final decision, even if the old ghost Muyun finds out, she will turn a blind eye." Eight hundred gold coins and one Zengyuan Dan, he has already proved his worth, in the eyes of some laymen, he is already very powerful, Hua Shao has achieved his goal. ”
Liu Bingqian pondered for a while, "um" and nodded: "I originally thought that Hua Shao was very arrogant and uninhibited, but now that I hear you say this, he is still a person with a lot of careful thoughts?" So, rough brother...... What about you, what kind of person are you?"
"Me?" Ye Zifeng was coldly asked by her, and his expression changed slightly.
Fortunately, at this time, according to the order of the auction pills, it had already reached Ye Zifeng's side, and he didn't have to answer Liu Bingqian's tricky question anymore.
"Next, Liu Bingqian, it's your turn!"
Old Ghost Muyun was very happy because of her apprentice's victory, so when she looked at Ye Zifeng, her eyes were much kinder.
"Bingqian, do you plan to learn from Hua Shao and give a reserve price?"
Liu Bingqian smiled, looked at Ye Zifeng, and signaled that the reserve price was up to him.
Ye Zifeng was silent for a while, then raised his head and asked, "Is it okay for any price?"
The old ghost of Mu Yun was in his heart, and he always felt that this kid was about to come out again, and he couldn't help but open his mouth to remind him.
"Yes, any price. However, I would like to advise you that the reserve price should not be set too high. ”
Ye Zifeng nodded and chuckled: "Of course it won't be high, so I decided that the reserve price is a gold coin." ”
"A gold coin at the base price?"
The audience was in an uproar, and the pills of the people in front of them were all sold for three hundred and four hundred gold coins respectively, and the reserve price of Hua Shao's opening was directly six hundred gold coins.
And now, Ye Zifeng actually used a gold coin as the base price! People don't know what he's thinking.
However, before everyone could fully react, a deep voice sounded.
"Nine hundred gold coins!"
Everyone turned their eyes to the source of the voice, wanting to see which person was so loser, and as soon as they exited, it was even higher than the highest price just now.
When Hua Shao heard this, his face became even more pale, and he had been preparing for so long before he could auction eight hundred gold coins, but Ye Zifeng's first bid steadily overpowered him, and the limelight made Ye Zifeng out.
Following the sound, a middle-aged man was wearing a dark purple crane with a blue tiger-striped horn belt tied around his waist, and the tiger's eyes swept away, making some timid people couldn't help but take a few steps back.
"Oh my God, look at his outfit and saber, he's the boss of the Xuanmen, no wonder he's so rich!"
"However, you also heard it just now, he suddenly raised from one gold coin to nine hundred gold coins, and no matter how rich he is, he doesn't spend it like this!"
"What do you know, for really good things, a gold coin is just a disguise, that's the strategy of asking for a price! It's a good opportunity for rich people to show their status, do you want a big man from the Xuanmen to shout out the numbers of five gold coins and ten gold coins?"
"Oh...... So that's the case, listening to what you said, although this Ye Zifeng doesn't know how to do alchemy, his mind is quite active, and he has the potential to be a pharmacist!"
The big guy of the Xuanmen personally shouted the price, even if some people wanted this Zengyuan Pill, they had to weigh it, whether doing so would anger the big guy.
For a moment, there was silence, and no one dared to shout a higher price.
Except, Liang Jiu!
"Nine Hundred and One Gold Coins......
Liang Jiu's voice trembled, feeling like a frail and sickly person, but looking at his rough appearance, he just quoted a price, and he shouldn't tremble like this.
"A thousand gold coins!" The boss of the Xuanmen frowned slightly, then stretched out and quoted a new round of prices.
"A thousand...... One thousand and one gold coins......" Liang Jiu's expression was extremely painful, as if someone had taken a knife and twisted it back and forth on his heart.
"1,200 gold coins......"
The expression of the Xuanmen boss gradually began to become a little unkind, if ordinary people knew that he was a person from Xuanmen, they would respect him for three points and give him a thin face, but every time this Liang Jiu increased the price, he only added one gold coin on his basis, and it was obvious that he was going to do it against himself!
"One thousand two hundred and one gold coins......"
Sure enough, Liang Jiu once again added an extra gold coin to the offer of the Xuanmen boss, shouting "It's a loss."
When Ye Zifeng gambled with him before, he took out 1,200 gold coins as a bet, but now Liang Jiu not only can't win this gold coin, but instead sticks so much into it, or the money that several brothers put together together.
The Xuanmen boss finally changed his face, and glanced at Liang Jiu coldly: "This brother, are you saying that you want to grab this pill with me?"
Liang Jiu smiled bitterly, his face full of helplessness: "Big guy, I don't want to do this, but I can't help it!"
"What do you mean there is no way? Okay, I'll give you 1,500 gold coins, if you have the ability, just add another gold coin and try it!"
"Then ...... Fifteen hundred and one gold coins. Liang Jiu's face was ugly, his expression was like a dead father, and he could only hate meeting Ye Zifeng and making this damn blood contract.
"You ......" The face of the Xuanmen boss instantly turned extremely pale, even if he had money, looking at the other party's appearance, it seemed that he was going to fight to the death with himself.
