Sun Fu put his hand in front of him and uncovered the black cloth, revealing a small, grassroots-like thing inside. This is the Qingtian root, even in the sky, it is a well-deserved treasure of heaven and earth. The reason why it is sought after is not only because it is precious and hard to find, but also because of its mysterious medicinal properties.

A cultivator in the realm of bamboo basket drawing water, after experiencing nine deaths and a lifetime, did not salvage the magic arts, and entered the realm of the Pure Dao, he was no different from a dead person. If the realm of one body falls, there is no one in ten, and the lifespan will be greatly reduced. But with the help of the Qingtian Root, even if you still can't enter the realm of the True Dao, it is not difficult to survive. In other words, it's equivalent to one more life. Even if the future of the avenue is "cut in two", as long as the realm of bamboo basket water is opened, it can be used as a blessing anywhere.

As far as Zhuge Chen was concerned, all he needed was the fragments of the Heavenly Dao that remained in the Qingtian Root. After all, this medicinal herb was originally a cultivator of the Great Zhen Dao realm, and after the death of the Dao of the Great Zhen Dao, the whole realm was absorbed by the Heavenly Dao, and it was possible for it to come into being. And this possibility, among the ten Great Zhen Daoists, there may not be one person.

With such a low probability, it's no wonder that so many people want to get it. Even if it is resold and sold, it can make a lot of money. There will always be cultivators who are about to die and will choose to buy it, even if they will go bankrupt.

With the appearance of Qingtiangen, the atmosphere in the guest house was instantly pushed to a climax, and Zhuge Chen could even smell madness in the air. Those cultivators who failed on the mountaineering path of drawing water in a bamboo basket because of the loss of their realm had no hope, but the advent of Qingtiangen rekindled their thirst for the future.

Zhuge Chen knew in his heart that the next step was the battle of the dragons and tigers. However, among his mustard seeds, the most important thing is not the elixir, but money.

......

Sun Fu looked around, and waited until everyone was quiet before he spoke: "Everyone has already seen that this Qingtian Root is one of the highlights of this auction. It is very appropriate to take the opening, and it can also show the sincerity of our stay in the guest house. As for the medicinal effect of Qingtian root, I think you have already heard of it, so I don't need to repeat it. If you want to grasp this treasure in your hands, don't be stingy with your money. Let's start bidding, a Dongtian coin will start the auction, and only those who hold the golden invitation card will be able to make a move!"

A Dongtian coin seems to be a sky-high price, but if you don't count the pride of heaven like Zhuge Chen, the cultivators of the Bamboo Basket Water Realm have at least lived in the world for hundreds of years. There will be no shortage of money in their hands, just one, but it is far from breaking their muscles and bones. And compared to his own life, it is really difficult to choose between just Dongtian coins?

There was silence everywhere, and no one wanted to be the first to make a bid. Even if it's just a simple auction, it's a technical job. When to make a move, when to stop, it's a trade-off. Barking dogs don't bite, although inappropriate, but in the end it is a truth.

Zhuge Chen got up and came to the window, and said loudly: "I want to change the invitation." With that, he threw out the silver invitation.

And Sun Fu raised his head and looked at Bai Yi, and said with a smile: "Gongzi has spent so much money in the guest house, and the silver invitation has already turned into a gold invitation by itself, so he can naturally participate in the bidding." Childe is so atmospheric, why don't you start first?"

Zhuge Chen heard Sun Fu's uneasiness and kindness, and just smiled slightly: "Then I'll give out a cave heaven coin, just treat it as a game, and you can bid at will." ”

Someone starts, and the subsequent competition is a matter of course. That is, the time of a pillar of incense, the price of Qingtian Root came to four and a half Dongtian coins. This is a wealth that more than ninety percent of the people who stay in the guest house cannot have in this life.

Zhuge Chen squinted his eyes and said softly, "The game has begun." ”

......

In a private room in the guest house, there was a young man in a dragon robe holding a wine glass and looking at the woman with a smile in his arms.

This person is His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince of Yunmeng, because of the emperor's suspicion, he did not make a prince, otherwise he would definitely be a strong contender for that position. The only one who can be compared to him is the three princes who are very close to the prime minister's mansion. Originally, the two of them fought against each other, and no one could help anyone, but since the Jun family, who secretly supported the three princes, grasped the power in the court, the balance of victory and defeat began to tilt.

Even though he was preoccupied, he also knew that he had no way to break the situation for the time being, and he could not shake the foundation of the three princes at all. And there are rumors that after the flower banquet, it is the day when the emperor establishes the prince. But I was so anxious, but I couldn't think of a solution.

His staff gave him a way, and in the current imperial capital, in addition to the prime minister, there is another person who can interfere with the ownership of the crown prince. And the weight of the words is heavier, that is the only prince of Wanyan Qingqian. But if it's difficult, it's hard to do it, and Wanyan Qingqian will ignore the government and politics, let alone meddle in the affairs of the royal family. Although he is not an idle prince, he can still be alone.

Because he knew that Yan Qingqing's hard stone temper, the four princes could only choose to give up and instead go to collect the talented people in the imperial capital. Especially at the moment when the flower banquet is about to begin, many cultivators are pouring in, which is a good time for him to absorb talents. As long as one of them is up to the task, the burden on himself will be lightened considerably.

The fourth prince exhaled a breath of turbidity, frowned and gently patted the shoulder of the woman in his arms. UU Library

The woman stretched out her hand to smooth the eyebrows of the fourth prince, and asked in an understanding and soft voice: "Your Royal Highness, what's wrong with you?"

The fourth prince shook his head lightly and said, "It's not that I don't want to talk to you, but even if I do, there is no good way." I know you're smart, but in the face of today's situation, you can only rely on gambling. ”

"Is the white-clothed man who grabbed Qi flowers with His Highness also the target of His Highness?" the woman asked, helping the fourth prince get a cup of tea by the way. She is a woman with a good appearance, but she is not stunning, and she can lie in the arms of a prince because of this meticulous consideration.

The fourth prince took the teacup and said, "I always feel that he is not an ordinary person. To be able to shout such a high price without blinking an eye, it is impossible to have no background. And he doesn't seem to recognize me, probably someone from outside the imperial capital. I heard that the Qin family in the north of Yunmeng is a big force, this person ...... Maybe it's the eldest son of the Qin family?"

The Northern Qin family, even if you look at the whole world, can be ranked first. It's just because the Qin family has practiced for generations and ignores the affairs of the world. Otherwise, it is indeed unknown which surname Yunmeng's throne will sit.

The fourth prince stretched out his hand and knocked on the table, and saw the black mist rising in front of him. He looked at the man in the fog and said, "Trouble Huang Lao, tell the man in white that I want to invite him to drink." Not as a prince, but as Wan Yan Yong. ”

The man in the fog shook his head and said: "Where can the old slave afford the prince's trouble, as long as it is a place where the old slave can be used, he will not hesitate to go up the knife mountain and go down to the sea of fire." ”

The fourth prince said softly: "Anyway, thank you Huang Lao." ”

He quietly watched the black mist disappear, and refocused on the bidding for the Qingtian Root, and in a short period of time, he had already come to the price of ten Dongtian Coins. And the bidder is the one dressed in white.

"What kind of background are you, you really don't care about the money...... When money?" Shocked, the fourth prince muttered to himself.

......

Only bid ten Dongtian coins, Zhuge Chen, who can be called a wealthy spender, did not have a trace of expression change on his face, as if the money spent was the water that was spilled, and he was not distressed at all. Moreover, he directly increased the price of three on the basis of the seven Dongtian coins, and his brows did not furrow.

"Suddenly changed my mind, so many people are tempted, things must not be bad. It doesn't matter what it is, whether it's useful or not, it doesn't matter if it's not clear, just buy it. Just spend money to have a good time, and you won't lose anywhere. Zhuge Chen's voice echoed in the guest house, how he thought in his heart and how he said it on his lips have always been two different things. However, the expression of the white cloth was so real that even Sun Fu was a little puzzled, whether the other party really thought like this.

As Zhuge Chen's words fell, a black mist slowly rose behind him. Having recovered most of his realm, Bai Yi, who had a keen sense of consciousness, turned around at the moment, his mind fell on the Gap Flying Sword, and asked in a cold voice, "Who is there, why don't you come out and see it?"

"Childe, don't make a move, I'm not here to find trouble, old slave. My master wants to invite you to drink together after the auction is over, what do you think?" Huang Lao walked out of the black mist, his hands spread out, empty, and it also proved his sincerity.

"Your master, is it the prince?" Zhuge Chen asked, and then made a look with Miss Gao, signaling that the other party would forget after hearing it. An ordinary maid is very likely to be burned when she participates.

Miss Gao naturally knew that she didn't need to be reminded by Zhuge Chen, so she walked out of the house. I also made a lame excuse, saying that I went outside to breathe.

Huang Lao nodded and said: "Although he is the prince, the master has no intention of wooing you, but he just feels that it is a loss not to befriend a hero like you." Therefore, the old slave was sent to invite you, also as Wan Yanyong, not as the fourth prince. ”

Zhuge Chen narrowed his eyes and said, "It's indeed an invitation that is hard to refuse, but I have to wait until I get the Qingtian Root." Otherwise, I'm not in the mood to drink. ”

"The old slave can call the shots in this matter, if the son is short of money......"

A voice interrupted his words, and Zhuge Chen picked up the tray in front of him, threw them into it one by one, and said, "I'll bid twenty pieces, it's over quickly, I'm still waiting to drink!"

Inside, there was silence. No one could have imagined that anyone would really be willing to buy the Blue Sky Root for the price of twenty Cave Heaven Coins, even if it was indeed a Heavenly Treasure. Either the white coat went mad, or they went mad. I don't look at the indifferent look of the person at the window, it's probably the latter.
