Chapter 209: Winning the Auction
Hearing such a description, Tianjihong's eyes suddenly lit up. This Qingyun Spirit Fruit, both in terms of grade and effect, is very suitable for his current cultivation. After learning that the master could not be by his side for a long time, it was now urgent to break through the realm and improve his cultivation as soon as possible, and he had to take a picture of this Qingyun Spirit Fruit no matter what.
“… Okay, the starting price of this Qingyun Spirit Fruit is 4,000 silver coins, and you can start bidding. Steward Heng waved his hand, and the audience became lively for a while.
"I'll give 4,500 silver coins!"
“4800! I want this Qingyun Spirit Fruit! ”
……
Obviously, for the spiritual fruit that can directly improve cultivation, it is also extremely tempting for many casual cultivators in the audience. Moreover, in Dongsheng Town, the elixir that has generally reached the prefecture level is if you want to compete in the major chambers of commerce or the fang market on weekdays, it must be possible to have a certain relationship or way; In terms of price, it is far more than the current thousands of silver coins, so it is often priceless.
The appearance of this Qingyun Spirit Fruit is obviously the second competitor to bring the atmosphere in the venue to a hot spot after Xingyao Sword. Within a while, the bidding had climbed to a high of 8,000 silver coins, and the growth of this posture was vaguely surpassing the previous medium-grade treasures.
"12,000 credits!" Suddenly, the sound from the corner of the venue caused a brief pause in the shouting of the four people, and everyone turned their heads slightly to look at the direction of Tianjihong and his party. Fortunately, several people wore hats to hide their true faces before entering, and everyone didn't know the origin of this teenager who suddenly increased the price by several percent.
At this time, except for Wang Qing, who was quite calm, the two of them were obviously surprised by Tian Jihong's sudden bid. Although Tianjihong also revealed to the two of them along the way that they intended to participate in the competition for the prefecture-level auction, and the two were quite prepared for the rich financial resources that Tianjihong vaguely exposed, but they didn't expect the latter to suddenly shout such an astronomical amount at this time, which would inevitably make them feel a little shocked.
Fortunately, the two of them were quite clever, and they did not immediately speak out in full view of everyone to ask about the identities of several people. It's just that the bidding is not over at this time, and after Tianji Hongsheng raised the price to 12,000 silver coins, there are still people with deep pockets in the field who are unwilling to give up.
"13,000 silver coins, I want this Qingyun Spirit Fruit from my Mo family!" Needless to say, the person who spoke came from one of the several palatial auction rooms in the heights, and the attraction of the earth-level elixir was enough to tempt the forces of the four major families. After all, not all of them are like Mo Juan or Mo Yu, who have the resources poured into the family to cultivate, and for the former, the materials at the prefecture level are still worth trying.
"Hehe, then my Hong family will also intervene? 14,000 credits! This time, the person who laughed lightly was Hong Zihua, who had a relationship with Tianjihong before. As the Hong family, which is also one of the four major families, it is obviously unwilling to sit back and watch competitors take down this spiritual fruit so easily.
"16,000 credits!" However, to the surprise of everyone present, the familiar voice in the corner sounded again, and it was actually a living force that overwhelmed the two great families, raising the price of this spirit fruit by a full 2,000 silver coins again. Such a decisive move coupled with bottomless financial resources made everyone speculate about the origin of the four people in this line.
"It's... Do you have that much money on you, kid? At this time, even Lin Rong on the side couldn't help but be a little anxious, and took advantage of the distraction of the people around him to ask in a low voice. It's just that the latter remained silent, and secretly waved his hand in the place under the seat that couldn't be seen clearly, interrupting Lin Rong's words to continue to ask.
"It's a bit interesting, it seems that this guy is bound to get this Qingyun Spirit Fruit, and he even dares to come in and mix in the things that my four major families fancy to get involved. What are these people, have you seen them outside before? Tianjihong's insistence on increasing the price also aroused Hong Zihua's interest, but it was a pity that everyone behind him shook their heads and said that they had never seen these four people, only Hong Tianci, who was silent on the side, looked a little strange in his eyes, staring thoughtfully at the bidder's every move.
"17,000 credits!" Hong Zihua shouted again, the Hong family's claim to stabilize the other three major families is not groundless, and its strong family foundation does allow it to act recklessly outside. Especially Hong Zihua's identity as the successor of the Hong family, his financial resources are far beyond the ability of ordinary people, and the Qingyun Spirit Fruit is not very attractive to him, but he intends to test the identity of the person who just shouted the price, so he opened his mouth again and raised the price.
"19,000 credits!" However, the next Tianjihong opened his mouth decisively, which also made the interested Hong Zihua hesitate. Not to mention him, this suddenly raised the sky-high price of 2,000 silver coins again, causing everyone present to be in an uproar, and whispers began to appear in the venue from time to time.
At this time, the price of a ground-level elixir had already caught up with the first-class treasure Xingyao Sword, and even if it was placed in the market outside the auction, this price was already slightly beyond the actual value of this Qingyun Spirit Fruit.
And not only that, a mysterious person who showed people in a cloak and hat, looking at the posture was just a casual cultivation, would be so stubborn and disobedient to the will of the four major families behind him and insist on bidding. As the so-called strong dragon does not suppress the head snake, it is quite unwise to offend the four major families in a realm like Dongsheng Town, and even the Black Dragon Society, which is famous in the martial arts world, does not dare to openly fight with the former when he comes here.
Everyone was silent for Tianjihong, a small scattered cultivator who didn't know the height of the sky, did they think that even if they covered up their faces and really paid a high price to win this prefecture-level material, the Hong family in Dongsheng Town, who only covered the sky with one hand, would not be able to find out his true identity? With such a treasure in hand, not to mention the Hong family, which of the many other eye-catching Qingyun Spirit Fruit's scattered cultivation is not ready to move, with the strength of this guy, can he really guarantee that he will not be targeted by others after the auction, so as to get out of this Dongsheng Town smoothly?
……
"Childe, don't be impulsive! It's just a prefecture-level elixir, and when he goes home, the son directly asks the elders for it, and it's not worth continuing to fight with this guy. A person next to Hong Zihua stepped forward to remind him that several people on this trip were entrusted by the head of the family and had other important arrangements. Not to mention anything else, the primary goal of the current few people is to compete for the so-called [Bone Shaping Pill] after the interference of the Nangong clan, and it is really unwise to waste too much financial resources on a Qingyun Spirit Fruit at this time.
"Hehe, Uncle Ming, don't worry, I'm just a little curious about this guy's identity, just now I just saw that he seemed to have the strength to bid before I tried it, so I gave this thing to him." Hong Zihua is also worthy of being a person with an outstanding heart, and after a slight stunned, he quickly returned to his calm look at the beginning. But then his words changed sharply, and he said to the person beside him:
"But I'm getting more and more curious about the origin of these people, this line of four people doesn't look like people from a sect or clan, but they can easily come up with such a large amount of wealth, it must be extraordinary. If you negotiate properly, you may be able to become a member of my Hong family, do you know what to do next, right? ”
"Don't worry, Uncle Ming won't bother with this matter, just leave it to me!" When Uncle Ming beside him didn't open his mouth to agree, it was Hong Tianci in the corner who didn't expect to speak first.
At the same time, Tian Jihong, who was at the edge of the venue below, had a different face, although he didn't dare to show anything under the gaze of everyone, but in fact, shouting such a sky-high price, his heart was already dripping blood.
"Damn it! This hateful Hong Zihua is really full of food, and he has nowhere to spend his money! If it weren't for the fact that he suddenly raised the price so high twice for no reason, would I be the wronged leader here? Tianjihong gritted his teeth angrily.
Of course, he knew that his hemorrhage had exceeded the actual value of the Tianyun Spirit Fruit, but if he didn't show enough courage in front of the four major families and continued to slowly bid for the price without pain, I am afraid that it would arouse more interest from Hong Zihua, and maybe the transaction price would be even higher.
"Forget it, just spend money to buy a loss. Qingyun Spirit Fruit is different from ordinary medicinal rampaging ground-level materials, although the price is slightly higher than that on the market, it is not too much of a loss. A little monk like you, who has no strength and no background, if you want to make a relationship on weekdays, it is not easy to buy this Qingyun Spirit Fruit in the Chamber of Commerce, maybe it will cost you more money to make a relationship. ”
Unexpectedly, Wang Qing, who had been silent on the side, suddenly changed his previous cynical appearance at this time, and after noticing that Tianjihong's mood was wrong, he opened his mouth to comfort him. With his conclusion, Wang Hong and Lin Rong, who were already jumping in a hurry, didn't say much more.
Stellar Moon on the stage naturally smiled after hearing such an offer, this price was undoubtedly excellent for Tianbao Pavilion as the owner, and even the staff who hurriedly stepped down to guide Tianjihong to complete the transaction seemed to have a little more smile on their faces.
After Tianjihong endured the pain and took out a thick leather bag of silver coins from the storage container, he finally got the fragrant Qingyun Spirit Fruit in his hands. This is the first time that Tian Jihong has really seen the so-called ground-level materials, looking at this Qingyun Spirit Fruit that is almost condensed into liquid with spiritual energy in the palm of his hand, Tian Jihong only feels that he subconsciously has a sense of comfort that flutters like a fairy.
Not to mention himself, even Wang Hong, Lin Rong and the others who were sitting cross-legged next to him were only absorbing a little bit of the aura emitted by the spirit fruit at this time, and they were surprised to notice that the operation of the exercises in the body seemed to have accelerated a little. The Tianshuang Bone Paste prepared with the same earth-level material as the earth-level dragon fruit given by the master before, had left a deep impression on Tianjihong, and he had also saved his life in the Dongyun Mountains many times.
And right now, the feeling brought by such a real earth-level elixir in front of him is even clearer. There is no doubt that the Qingyun Spirit Fruit in his hand is also excellent among the materials of the same level, which makes Tian Jihong, who has been tense just now, feel some comfort in his heart.
