Chapter 274: Black Iron
The atmosphere in the small town was also extremely tense, with the arrogance of outsiders and the resentment of local forces, like an unbridgeable chasm between the two sides.
Especially the disciples of the Taoist sect, after suffering a few losses at the beginning, gradually formed a group, and refused to go to the street alone, even if they bought and sold magic weapons, there would be a bunch of people surrounding a merchant.
Mu Jianchen and the others naturally did not participate in it, including Gao Zhuofan, they were all old acquaintances, these people naturally politely greeted each other, and then sat together and chatted from time to time.
At the gate of the small city, it seems that people are entering all the time, and Li Xiaoyi has not been out since he lived in this inn.
The day passed quickly, in the afternoon, Wen Jingyi knocked on the door, when the door was opened, the fragrance hit people, let it into the house, Wen Jingyi waved her hand.
"What's your smell here?"
Li Xiaoyi sat down casually disapprovingly and poured himself a glass of water: "Manly." ”
Wen Jingyi opened the window, glanced downstairs, and turned around, "Who is my daughter worshipping under?"
Li Xiaoyi half-squinted his eyes: "You guess?"
"How can this be guessed. She pretended to be coquettish, and her thirty-year-old appearance was still charming.
But Li Xiaoyi's mind was elsewhere: "When will that auction start?"
Wen Jingyi took out a jade token from her bosom and said: "In an underground casino in the southeast corner, at midnight, hold this token and hand it over to the janitor when you get there, and someone will naturally lead you." ”
Li Xiaoyi took out a pot of wine, not Long Yan liquid, there were only two jars of wine left, and he was reluctant to drink it, so he bought a pot of wine from the previous team, the wine was very strong and tasteful.
"In the past, I was very satisfied to have a bowl of old rice wine to drink, but now, I can't drink it. ”
Wen Jingyi didn't speak, and Li Xiaoyi sneered: "Your precious daughter is valued by the real person in charge of the sect and stays by her side." ”
Wen Jingyi's eyes lit up, she stood up excitedly, and said emotionally, "Really?"
"If you see her in the future, ask for yourself. Li Xiaoyi took a sip of the liquor in the pot.
Wen Jingyi respectfully saluted Li Xiaoyi, Li Xiaoyi accepted it calmly, he didn't know what the mother and daughter had gone through, which made Wen Jingyi have such a big change.
It's true that it has nothing to do with him, and even if it does, time has passed, and it has long been a thing of the past, and it is useless.
The two sat in the house and drank, there was constant noise outside, and occasionally the sound of a fight came, until midnight, Li Xiaoyi got up quietly, and Wen Jingyi had already fallen asleep.
Under the dark night, he stepped silently, glanced below, the treasure light was extinguished, Li Xiaoyi turned around, and after a while, he had already arrived at the place Wen Jingyi said.
took out the jade card, tapped the door panel of the gambling stall, and a human face appeared through the crack in the door, and Li Xiaoyi handed the jade card in.
After a while, the courtyard opened, and someone led him into the gambling house, turning around, and the prohibitions were opened one after another, and a dark underground entrance appeared in front of him.
One after the other, Li Xiaoyi followed him silently for a long time, and the dazzling light gradually appeared in front of him, and when he entered it, he arranged a private room at the back, and the man retreated silently.
It can be seen that these people are all well-trained, and in the private room, there is also an enchantment that shields outsiders from entering, Li Xiaoyi looked around, this underground auction hall is definitely a person with a relative background and strength, so he came out.
There are two floors, the structure of the upper layer is more refined, and there are also relative guards in the secret protection, and the layer he is on is relatively simple.
In the center of the venue, a young woman was already standing, and behind her were several old men in black, two of whom were still cultivators of the real human realm.
After the simple opening remarks, it is the beginning of the auction, the whole process is concise and to the point, one by one, the magic weapons are constantly placed on the table, and there are endless bids.
The first ones to come up were all low-level magic weapons and pills, as well as a small amount of refining materials.
Li Xiaoyi should be lively, and he didn't participate, the spirit stone went from low to high, and the bidders fought for a thing they liked, and all kinds of threatening words and insults were intertwined in the venue.
The manager of the auction hall, regardless of the chaos, let the chaos of order, and there is no corresponding measure, which sometimes makes Li Xiaoyi mistakenly think that these guys may immediately start tearing up in the next moment.
But no one did this, just abused each other, slandered, and shouted at their fathers and scolded their mothers, and after a long time, they got used to it, Li Xiaoyi was in the box, and he was happy to listen.
It wasn't until a piece of black hard iron was placed on the auction table that Li Xiaoyi's heart suddenly moved, and the entire venue was quiet, and his thoughts came out of the box one after another, wrapped around the fist-sized stone.
"This is an extraterrestrial piece of meteoric iron, intrinsically strong, suitable for mixing into magic weapons, increasing toughness and hardness. ”
After a brief introduction, the host gave an unexpected price for Li Xiaoyi, starting with 30,000 medium-grade spirit stones.
This price...... Li Xiaoyi showed a sneer, there are only two words, cheap!
He's bound to win!
"Forty thousand!" someone immediately asked for the price.
Li Xiaoyi was silent, and the price of 50,000 yuan immediately followed, and then 60,000, 65,000, 70,000, until 80,000, no one came out to bid.
The host shouted twice in a row, but did not bid again, and just when she was about to shout the third time, Li Xiaoyi called out the price of 90,000.
"Ninety-five thousand!" The voice came from the second floor, and the people sitting on it were all loose cultivators who could not be hidden in the Great Northwest, or demons wanted by the Daomen.
"One hundred thousand!" Li Xiaoyi did not hesitate to increase the price again.
There was a lot of discussion, and it sounded in the auction hall, after all, it was just a piece of meteorite iron that could strengthen the magic weapon, and the price of 100,000 seemed to be able to buy better reinforcement materials.
"One hundred and twenty thousand!" there was already a hint of anger in that voice.
Li Xiaoyi was not afraid: "One hundred and fifty thousand!"
"One hundred and thirty thousand!"
"One hundred and fifty thousand!"
The two of them did not give in, and kept calling the price to 150,000!
Li Xiaoyi still added five thousand, and the atmosphere in the venue became a little strange, this underground auction hall has an unwritten rule that the first floor will never compete with the second floor.
After all, it's just an auction, and if you are located, if someone wants to find you, you may only need to spend a sum of spirit stones.
"Can you let the old man go?" In the box on the second floor, the man finally couldn't help but say.
Li Xiaoyi sneered, but didn't make a sound, the host didn't seem to give face to the second floor, and continued to shout out the price given by Li Xiaoyi, and when it came to the second time, the man gritted his teeth and gave 160,000 again.
Just when everyone thought that Li Xiaoyi would not increase the price again, this inconspicuous box on the first floor suddenly said loudly: "165,000!"
