Chapter 349: Ambergris
"How many spirit stones can you sell for a 'snake herb'!" the young man pursed his mouth and said unscrupulously.
The dwarf said with a look on his face: "I sold two thousand five hundred low-grade spirit stones!"
"Impossible! You lie, no matter how good the quality of "snake herbs" is, they can't sell them at such a sky-high price, you are my three-year-old child!" said to the side of the young man's small face, so as not to tell this kind of lie.
The dwarf man smiled and said, "You kid!" Naturally, "Snake Herb" can't sell so many spirit stones, but if it's "Snake Herb", it's a different matter. ”
The dwarf man turned his face when he saw the young man, and said proudly: "The one that Tian Lao bought was not a "snake herb" at all, but a rare four-grade elixir "snake ambergris", but it picked up a big leak. ”
"How can anyone be so stupid? The fourth-grade elixir was sold for less than a hundred spirit stones, and you are deceiving people again. Still unconvinced, the boy snorted.
"Little one, don't believe it, even if there is a "snake herb" in front of you, you will not recognize it, and you will still think it is "snake herb"! "Snake herb" is a variant of "snake herb", and its appearance is basically the same as that of "snake herb"! The rhizome and aroma are slightly different, and it is impossible to distinguish between the rhizome and the aroma. The dwarf said with a swagger.
"You lie!" the boy exclaimed.
"The fifth brother is not allowed to be rude, this Taoist friend is right, some spirit snakes often entrenched around the "snake herb", like to eat the "snake herb" condensed in the early morning "morning dew", the spirit snake spit letters, over time, the "snake herb" is moistened by the snake saliva moisturized, mutated, after a hundred years into "snake saliva grass", distinguish the two need eyesight, sometimes there are leaks. The man holding the knife patted the young man's stubborn little head and spoke.
The dwarf Taoist arched his hand and said: "It's still this Taoist friend who is sensible, you little guy, learn more!"
"That's also the old man's ability, what are you angry about!" the young man muttered disapprovingly.
"Hey, you little fellow!" the dwarf was suddenly angry.
"One hundred and fifty-four thousand low-grade spirit stones!" the old man surnamed Tian had already squeezed under the high platform and raised the price again.
Then he turned around and shouted loudly: "Fellow Daoists, everyone must know Tian's condition, this "broken empty grass" Tian is determined to win, and please cut your love and raise your noble hands! Tian is grateful!"
When the white-haired old man surnamed Tian was humble, looked around, and made a pleading speech in a trembling manner, the noisy crowd became a lot quieter for a while, and no one opened his mouth to increase the price.
The man in brocade clothes standing on the high platform couldn't help but sink his face, but he soon smiled and shouted loudly: "Everyone, what is the 'broken empty grass' and what is its effect? I don't need to elaborate on it! As the saying goes: It is difficult to build a foundation, it is difficult to go to the blue sky, and the road is in front of you. ”
"This kind of opportunity doesn't come from time to time, there is only one "Broken Empty Grass", okay, I won't talk about it, 154,000 low-level spirit stones, once!"
At this time, a strong man in black raised his hand and shouted: "158,000 low-grade spirit stones!", and then arched his hand towards the old man surnamed Tian and said: "Old Tian, it's not that I'm Ning who doesn't give you face, Ning has been trapped in the Great Perfection for nearly ten years, and he has been offended by this "broken empty grass". ”
"Ning Daoyou's words are serious, it is Tian Mou's appearance, such things related to "Dao luck", naturally there is no concession, they all rely on their ability! Tian Lao is 160,000!" The old man surnamed Tian said with a wry smile.
A young man in Chinese clothes in the crowd said with a smile: "The one with the highest price will get it, so naturally! 165,000 low-grade spirit stones, if there is a Taoist friend who increases the price, he will withdraw in the next place!"
...
"Second brother, that old man is so old, why is he still auctioning this 'broken empty grass' at a high price? Isn't he picking up leaks? 165,000 low-grade spirit stones are no longer cheap. The young man looked at the old man surnamed Tian and asked puzzledly.
The man holding the knife shook his head, and said in a hesitant tone: "I think I want to shoot it down first, and wait for the appreciation!"
At this time, the dwarf Taoist interjected again, and said with a reverent expression: "In addition to this Tian Lao's poisonous vision, wide knowledge, and admirable, what is even more admirable is the indomitable and unswerving heart of seeking the truth. To the ancient times, he still did not let go of the obsession of opening up the "Purple Mansion" and building the Daoji. If you take a picture of this "broken empty grass", Tian Lao will definitely keep it for his own use. ”
"You're lying again!" The young man then said, he is a cultivator who knows that after the cultivator has passed the year of knowing his fate, the difficulty of "building a foundation" will gradually increase with age, and the old man of Natian is in his old age, and he is still thinking about "building a foundation", isn't this looking for death? Who do you want to deceive!
The young man turned his face sideways, pouted, and looked like he was stupid to see who believed in him, and it was funny to look at it! In fact, not only did the young man not believe it, but Liu Yu also deeply doubted that at this age, if he forcibly "built a foundation," he was afraid that he would die and die, and it would be better to hang himself quickly.
The dwarf man was not angry, shook his head and said: "Little guy, it's normal that you don't believe it, Tian Lao's deeds didn't believe it at first, but after a little inquiry, he knew that what Poor Dao said was true, Tian Lao's deeds have already spread in the scattered cultivation room, and he can be described as a model for my generation!"
"Then tell me about it!" the young man said curiously, seeing that the dwarf did not look like a lie.
The dwarf Taoist said in an admiring tone: "Tian Lao, the fire and wood twin spiritual roots, the qualifications are not bad, with this qualification is enough to enter the four major sects, but it is a pity that when I found out that I had the spiritual root, Tian Lao had already passed the age of Zhixue, and missed the best cultivation period, so he became a casual cultivator like us." ”
But Tian Lao did not give up, he devoted himself to seeking the Tao, starting from the lowest guy in the market, and has been the shopkeeper in the shop, and then he also went into the mountains to cultivate, went through all kinds of difficulties, practiced to the ancient years, and finally reached the great perfection of qi training. He has never married in his life, has no children and no daughters under his knees, and is determined to open up the purple mansion and build a road foundation. ”
"In recent years, they have been preparing for the "foundation building", and two years ago they were also here, spending a high price of 120,000 low-grade spirit stones to auction a "foundation building pill", which is so bold that it is eye-catching!"
"It's all true? Then this old man is too powerful. The boy said stunned.
Liu Yu couldn't help but glance at the tall figure of the old man surnamed Tian under the high platform, and secretly praised: "It is indeed a model for my generation!"
At this time, the bidding has reached a fever pitch, and after the price is rising, there are very few bidders, and their faces are extremely solemn.
"170,000 low-grade spirit stones!" said the strong man in black through gritted teeth.
The old man surnamed Tian had a determined look on his face, and he was bound to win, and immediately shouted: "171,000 low-grade spirit stones!"
Seeing that no one in the audience shouted for a long time, the man in brocade opened his mouth and said: "One hundred and seventy-one thousand times!", and after looking around, he said again: "One hundred and seventy-one thousand two times!".
The strong man in black frowned, the corners of his mouth twitched, he wanted to open his mouth several times, and finally turned around sharply and squeezed out of the crowd in frustration.
The man in the brocade suit paused for a moment, and finally shouted loudly: "Deal, congratulations to Tian Lao, for winning this "broken empty grass" with 171,000 low-grade spirit stones, congratulations!"
At this time, the old man surnamed Tian breathed a sigh of relief, 171,000 low-grade spirit stones were already the highest price he could give, and the day before yesterday he spent a high price to buy a "Seven Star Flower" from an old friend, and there was not much spirit stone left on his body, but fortunately, Ning Yuan couldn't sink it, otherwise this "broken empty grass" would be missed.
"Good!"
"Tian Lao!
"Tian Lao, when will the foundation be built!"
The crowd suddenly resounded with bursts of cheers, the old man surnamed Tian has been in Wuhu Square for decades, and his reputation has long been passed down as a good story among the many scattered cultivators in Beiluancheng, and he has become a living example in the hearts of many scattered cultivators, and a source of motivation to persevere.
