151. Chapter 151
Think about it, those rich people who like to compare, who don't want to prove that they are the richest through various methods? And this high-end inn of their house is the best evidence for them to verify that they are rich!
Because staying in their inn for one night, you have to spend thousands of catties, and this kind of consumption is not something that anyone can afford!
"I'll finish the decoration in three days!I've already arranged everything else!" said the masked man.
When the shopkeeper Lao Li heard this, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and sure enough, the master also came prepared this time.
"Yes, master, don't worry! Three days is enough to decorate an auction hall!" Lao Li assured.
The masked man nodded, then said, "Send me some food!"
With that, the masked man strode up the stairs towards the Tianzi No. 1 room above the inn.
And next door to the Tianzi No. 1 room, there is the Tianzi No. 0 room.
But in the Tianzi Zero room, even the masked man himself, who is the boss, has never entered to live!
Because room zero was specially reserved for someone to live in! And in addition to this inn, every inn he established in the future will have such a house!
After entering the house, the masked man took off the mask on his face, and his true appearance was Dongyang Ze, who left the Firmament Realm with Beigong Xue!
"Xiao Xue'er, if you want the phoenix to come to the world, I will lay a mountain of gold and silver for you, and one day, your dream will come true!" Dongyang Ze muttered to himself.
The sneering of Beigong Xue by the elders of the Star Academy, as well as their helplessness of being forcibly expelled from the Firmament Realm, left a deep scar and shame in Dongyang Ze's heart!
......
In order to establish his own commercial power, after leaving the Firmament Realm, Dongyang Ze did not return to the Dongyang Chamber of Commerce, but came to the remote town of the Haitian Empire and began to realize his goals step by step.
And Dongyangze's initial goal is to take advantage of the comparison psychology of the rich and take the luxury and high-end route!
When he has good dealings with rich people from all over the world, he will start to expand business channels, and when the time comes, those local snakes will not deliberately make trouble for him and affect his business!
Three days later, the first auction at the Yukisawa Auction Hall began.
In the first auction, Dongyang Ze started with the intention of losing money, so only a few dozen guests came on the day of the auction, and he was already mentally prepared.
Upstairs in the auction hall, Lao Li looked at the dozens of people below, frowned, and said, "Master, why don't we hold an auction for a few days?"
Dong Yang Ze shook his head and said: "It's okay, we are not short of money now, today's auction is the best publicity! Look at it, after today's auction, Xue Ze Auction Hall will definitely attract everyone's attention!" Dong Yang Ze's tone was quite confident!
Lao Li saw Dongyangze say this, so he didn't say anything anymore.
Soon, the auction took place.
When the samurai who entered the auction hall with the mentality of taking a look saw the rare elixir on the auction table, he almost rubbed himself up from his chair.
They never imagined that an auction hall in a small town would be able to sell such a precious elixir as Seven Star Grass!
"Five hundred years of Seven Star Grass, the starting price is 1,000 gold coins!" said the auctioneer on the stage with a smile.
And in fact, his heart is very uncomfortable now!
At this time, how he wished that he was not an auctioneer, but a customer sitting in the audience!
The starting price of the 500-year-old Seven Star Grass is only 1,000 gold coins! Moreover, there are only a few dozen customers here, and the competitive pressure is too low!
"I'll give you fifteen hundred gold coins!" Someone immediately excitedly increased the price.
"Nima, 1,500 gold coins also want to buy the Seven Star Grass, I'll pay 3,000 gold coins!" Obviously, the other party wanted to raise the price of the Seven Star Grass at once, so that no one would keep bidding with him!
As soon as this person's words fell, a man in black sneered and said: "Three thousand gold coins is a dick! Lao Tzu gave five thousand gold coins!
"Five thousand five!"
"Six thousand!"
"Ten thousand! Who dares to fight with me! Lao Tzu has brought enough gold coins today!" said the man in black who had been a monk with 5,000 gold coins domineeringly.
Fortunately, he brought enough gold coins with him when he went out today, otherwise, a miracle medicine like Seven Star Grass would not have been obtained by others?
Hearing the words of the man in black, everyone couldn't help but be silent.
In the Yuncang Continent, the people who can have 10,000 gold coins belong to the rich people, and on their bodies, they can only die with seven or eight thousand gold coins, and if they want to shout again, they can't shout anymore!
Seeing that everyone was silent, the man in black suddenly showed a smug expression.
Hmph, the guy who doesn't even have 10,000 gold coins wants to compete with him for an elixir like Seven Star Grass?
And after the auctioneer made a final decision, the man in black suddenly burst into laughter.
The five-hundred-year-old Seven Star Grass, in a large-scale auction, has a starting price of at least 30,000 gold coins! And today he only spent 10,000 gold coins to auction the Seven Star Grass, which is really good luck.
The auctioneer on the stage glanced at the man in black faintly, "Pay attention to the quiet! Next, let's start auctioning the next auction item! Six hundred years of lantern flowers!"
With that, the auctioneer reached out and uncovered the red cloth on the tray. A medicinal herb full of lantern-like flowers lay quietly on the tray.
After seeing the lantern flowers, the people in the audience immediately gasped.
Oh my God, what is the origin of this auction hall, it is only the first day of opening, and it is actually able to come up with such a rare thing for auction?
"Six hundred years of lantern flowers, the starting price is 1,500 gold coins!" said the auctioneer expressionlessly, and his heart was dripping blood!
Boss, are you sure you're auctioning elixirs to make money and not running a charity auction?
The starting price of a 600-year-old lantern flower is only 1,500 gold coins?!
After the auctioneer's words fell, everyone in the audience reacted after being stunned for a moment and began to bid fiercely.
"Two thousand gold coins!"
"Three thousand!"
"Five thousand!"
The man in black who had previously photographed the Seven Star Grass stood up with a smile on his face and said after shouting fifteen thousand in the bidding: "I will give out fifteen thousand and one gold coins!"
Hearing the words of the man in black, the customer who gritted his teeth and shouted 10,000 hardware coins suddenly glared at the man in black fiercely, and then sat back in place in frustration.
Seeing this, the man in black immediately sat down with a smug face.
He still has more than 70,000 gold coins on him, compared to others, he has more money!
In the face of the man in black, many customers secretly showed a grim expression.
Stinky boy, I want to tell you to get sè for a while, go back and wait for the auction to end, and see how you still get sè!
Those medicinal herbs should be temporarily stored there!
"Master, Young Master Sun seems to be being targeted, should we come to the rescue in a while?" Lao Li looked at Dong Yangze, who was calm and relaxed, and asked.
Dong Yangze's lips were hooked up wickedly, and he sneered lightly: "Save him? Why should we save him? The bigger the incident, the louder the reputation of our Xueze Auction Hall will spread! Why let go of such a good opportunity to advertise?"
He lost more than 100,000 gold coins to hold this auction, wasn't it just to make Yukisawa Auction Hall famous? Now that there is a ready-made opportunity, why not seize it?
Lao Li was stunned, the man in black was the young master of a rich family in the town, and he thought that the master would save the young master Sun in order to have a good relationship with the Sun family!
......
The next four or five auction items, one was better than the other, and when the thousand-year-old ice lotus fruit appeared on the stage, the people below suddenly couldn't sit still.
Dozens of customers got up from their chairs one after another, and then said to the auctioneer: "Wait! Little brother, please ask your boss to come out and talk! I don't have enough money with me, please suspend this auction for the time being!"
The thousand-year-old ice lotus fruit has to be clapped for anything. After this village, there is no such shop!
The auctioneer on the stage listened, but shook his head and said, "Our boss said that even if it is a cheap sale, this auction will be held to the end!
"Then may I ask the little brother, can we owe the debt? We want to take pictures of the items and collect enough money before coming to get them, is this okay?" asked one person hopefully.
The auctioneer shook his head again, "I'm sorry, we all pay with one hand and deliver with the other, and there is no possibility of paying after a while!"
Although everyone had been mentally prepared, they were still a little disappointed to hear that the auctioneer had vetoed this mention like this.
Everyone sat back in their seats with disappointed faces, very annoyed!
Nima, I knew it would be like this, and they said that they would bring enough gold coins to participate in this auction!
Who knew that a newly opened auction hall in this small place could also appear such a precious medicinal material?
And the black-clothed man Sun Shaozhu is even more mournful at this moment.
Previously, he had a total of 100,000 gold coins in his hand, and almost all of the rare herbs in front of him were auctioned off by the price he gave him a fraction of the gold coin. However, if he knew that there would be a thousand-year-old ice lotus fruit auction in the future, he would rather not sell anything in front of him, and he would have gotten his hands on the ice lotus fruit!
But now, there are only a pitiful less than a hundred gold coins left in his bag!
Ignoring everyone's disappointed expressions, the auctioneer slammed the hammer in his hand on the stage, "Below, the bidding for the thousand-year-old ice lotus fruit begins! The starting price is 20,000 gold coins!"
What is embarrassing is that after the auctioneer's words, no one spoke.
And the faces of everyone at the scene revealed the two big words "shame" at this moment!
Not to mention 20,000 gold coins, even if it is 10,000 gold coins, they can't take it out!
The auctioneer was secretly relieved to see that no one spoke. In his heart, he was thinking: It's better that no one bids! In this case, this ice lotus fruit can be put in the next auction and sold as the finale!
"Little brother, please ask your boss, is it okay to barter? I was in a hurry to go out today, and I didn't have so many gold coins with me!"
When the auctioneer heard this, he subconsciously looked at the top floor opposite.
Dong Yang Ze, who was wearing a mask, nodded slightly to the auctioneer.
When the auctioneer saw this, he immediately cleared his throat and said, "Yes, please enter this room in order, put the items you have exchanged for them, put them in a tray, and cover them with a black cloth!
With that, the auctioneer stretched out his left hand and pointed to several VIP rooms on the first floor.
Because there were too few guests coming today, there was no one in the VIP room at all, so at this time, the VIP room on the first floor was just used for the guests to take out the trading items.
A quarter of an hour later, the guests who wanted the ice lotus fruit returned to their seats. Their eyes were nervously staring at the note in the auctioneer's hand.
And the name on this note determines who this ice lotus fruit will fall to!
"Congratulations to guest No. 13! This ice lotus fruit belongs to you!"
"Now, I declare that the first auction in the Yukizawa Auction Hall has come to a successful conclusion!" the auctioneer said, knocking on the table.
And when the thirteenth guest heard that the thousand-year-old ice lotus fruit belonged to him, his face immediately showed ecstasy.
After laughing twice, the guest swooped to the auction table, then grabbed the ice lotus fruit and stuffed it into his mouth.
Hehe, he's not stupid, so many people are coveting his ice lotus fruit, it's no wonder if he leaves with it and doesn't be besieged!
Therefore, it is better for him to eat the ice lotus fruit directly in front of everyone, so that it can be regarded as breaking the minds of some pretenders!
Seeing that No. 13 directly swallowed the ice lotus fruit and ate it like a date, some people in the audience who were ready to rob suddenly turned blue with anger.
Damn! The thousand-year-old ice lotus fruit was actually swallowed by this guy in one bite!
Isn't he afraid that he will choke to death? That's a thousand-year-old ice lotus fruit!
However, no matter how much dissatisfaction and unwillingness everyone had in their hearts, they could only watch as No. 13 swallowed the ice lotus fruit in front of them and ate it cleanly.
......
couldn't get the ice lotus fruit, so everyone hit the idea on Young Master Sun.
After Young Master Sun left the auction hall with a little regret, more than a dozen people secretly followed.
People die for money, birds die for food, even if Young Master Sun is the son of a rich and noble family in a small town, they don't care about offending the Sun family!
After all, the medicinal materials bought by the other party were resold and sold enough to sell for hundreds of thousands of gold coins!
If such a big fat sheep is not slaughtered, who will he slaughter?
On the fifth floor of the Xueze Auction Hall, Lao Li looked at a small fragment of the picture on the table and asked, "Master, why did you choose this picture? Some of the other things are quite good!"
Dong Yangze picked up the remnant picture on the table, carefully put it in his arms, and said, "I have my own use!"
Isn't this remnant picture what Xiao Xue'er's girl is collecting?
Since he bumped into it today, of course he will help her get it!
......
Mercenary Alliance Haitian Empire Branch.
After Beigong Xue had been cultivating in the alliance for half a month, she was ready to leave the alliance and go to another sea area of the Exploding Star Sea to train.
The scope of the Sea of Exploding Stars was very large, and the place she had been before was not even one percent.
"Boss, we're going with you too!" said Huang Ge and Huang Quan in unison.
Beigong Xue waved her hand, "No need, Ah Quan, you can completely cultivate your body first." Huang Ge, during the period when Ah Quan was recuperating from his injuries, you would have to worry a lot about the affairs of the Mercenary Alliance. If you don't have enough manpower, you can ask your eldest brother and daddy to help you! I'll be back before the Firmament Realm trial is over!"
Huang Ge and Huang Quan both looked at Beigong Xue reluctantly, "Boss, when you come back, the Mercenary Alliance will definitely become stronger!
Beigong Xue grinned, and then nodded vigorously: "Well, there will be that day!"
After that, Beigong Xue took a golden-winged Dapeng bird and left the mercenary alliance.
Huang Quan and Huang Ge looked at Beigong Xue's gradually disappearing back, clenched their fists, and secretly swore in their hearts: Boss, when you return, the Mercenary Alliance will definitely develop into your most solid backing!
......
All the way to the west, Beigong Xue flew towards the neighboring countries of the Haitian Empire.
The neighbor of the Haitian Empire is the empire where Yun Haoran and Yun Youran are located - the Yunxiao Empire!
And the imperial capital of the Yunxiao Empire is different from other empires, its imperial capital is not located in the center of the country, but in the sea of stars, at the very edge of the empire!
And millions of miles away from the imperial capital is the first mountain range in the Yuncang Continent - the Demon Beast Mountain Range!
It is said that when the Yunxiao Empire was set as the capital, some scholars said that the current imperial capital of the Yunxiao Empire is water in front and mountains in the back, and the feng shui is excellent, so it is a good place to build a capital. At that time, the King of Yunxiao adopted the advice of Xiangshi and set the imperial capital in Shuiyun City between the Exploding Star Sea and the Demon Beast Mountain Range.
After the imperial capital was established in Shuiyun City, the royal family of the Yunxiao Empire really produced many talents every year, and the development of the empire was also thriving.
Before entering Shuiyun City, Beigong Xue deliberately dyed her silver hair black, and then changed the color of her eyes.
As the imperial capital of an empire, the prosperity of Shuiyun City is naturally not comparable to the imperial cities of the Green Forest Kingdom and the Red Leaf Kingdom.
After Beigong Xueshun entered the city for inspection, he wandered around the shops in the city and bought some materials needed to refine the puppet.
After wandering around the huge neighborhood for almost an afternoon, Beigong Xue was ready to go to the inn to stay and rest for the night.
As she passed through a remote alley, she found several Imperial Guards in palace armor punching and kicking a small mass of objects.
Beigong Xue took a few steps closer, only to find that what several people were kicking was a demonic beast covered in blood that had been kicked.
The monster was only the size of a three- or four-year-old child, and his small body was shrunk into a small ball because of the pain, and he looked very pitiful.
"Hmph, tell you to steal things and sell them! Lao Tzu will kill you! Let's see if you dare to steal Concubine Yi's things next time!" said a guard scolding.
"Stinky thing, your life is really hard enough! You can't even die like this! Sure enough, it's the same as the Twelve Princes, it's a cheap life!" said the other guard spitting on the scarred beast.
And as soon as he said this, another guard "brushed" and pulled out the sword at his waist, "Hehe, I cut off your head, see if you can live!"
After that, the other party should raise his knife and slash at the demonic beast on the ground.
Seeing this, Beigong Xue's eyes were cold, and then she fell in front of several guards in an instant.
Holding the dagger in her right hand, Beigong Xue hit several people in the heart before the other party could react.
"Bang bang bang-"
Several of the armored guards fell to the ground.
And the demonic beast, which was shrunk into a small group, was still lying on the ground shivering.
Beigong Xue looked down, and only then did she see the true face of the demonic beast.
It turned out that this monster turned out to be a nine-tailed cat!
Looking at the pitiful appearance of the little guy, Beigong Xue squatted down and handed it a bottle of healing potion, "Okay, the bad guys are dead, you don't have to be afraid!"
Saying that, Beigong Xue also injected some aura into the nine-tailed cat.
When the nine-tailed cat heard Beigong Xue's words, she opened her body tremblingly, and then looked at Beigong Xue with her green eyes.
Beigong Xue poured the healing potion into the nine-tailed cat's mouth.
But to Beigong Xue's surprise, the nine-tailed cat refused to open its mouth to drink.
"What's wrong, don't worry, this is a healing potion, not a poison!I don't need to harm you!" Beigong Xue thought that the nine-tailed cat didn't believe her, so she explained.
The nine-tailed cat shook its head gently, then stared directly at the potion in Beigong Xue's hand, and spoke, "Thank you, kind human!"
"Can you give me this potion? My master is seriously injured, and if he is not treated, he will die!" the nine-tailed cat looked at Beigong Xue with blank eyes.
Beigong Xue was stunned for a moment, "You want to leave this bottle of potion to your master?"
The nine-tailed cat nodded slightly.
Beigong Xue smiled slightly, then gently touched the nine-tailed cat's head, and said, "Don't worry, I still have this potion, you drink this bottle first to heal your injuries, as for your master, I will give you another potion" to save him!"
The nine-tailed cat listened, then nodded, and then opened its mouth to drink the potion handed over by Beigong Xue.
"Thank you, human, I will remember your great kindness!" said the nine-tailed cat gratefully.
Beigong Xue listened, the corners of her lips raised slightly, and she reached out and touched the head of the nine-tailed cat.
Then, Beigong Xue took out more than a dozen bottles of potion from the Qiankun bag and put them in a bag.
After tying this bag around the neck of the nine-tailed cat, Beigong Xue said: "The potions in this are all used for healing, and I don't know if I can help, so I'll give it to you!
After the nine-tailed cat gently rubbed Beigong Xue's arm, the cat's pupils narrowed slightly, and then its body jumped lightly and landed on the wall on the alley.
"Human, I'm leaving, I'll remember you!" said to Beigong Xue before leaving.
After speaking, he swept towards the northwest without looking back.
And in that direction, is where the palace of the Cloud Empire is located!
......
After the nine-tailed cat left, Beigong Xue took out a bottle of corpse water and poured it on several dead guards.
After a slight snort, there were more puddles of yellow water on the ground.
After Beigong Xue buried these puddles of yellow water with mud, she left the alley.
And not long after Beigong Xue left, a group of palace guards wearing silver armor came over.
No companions were found, and the guards were a little surprised, "Strange, Zhang Qi, where are they? They were still here half a moment ago!"
"Maybe they've slaughtered that waste pet and have gone back to ask Concubine Yi for credit!" one guessed.
"Hmph, they're so cunning! Let's go on patrol and think about taking the credit for ourselves!," someone complained.
