Chapter 11: Unexpected Joy
"If I can get another map, compared with the one I originally obtained, I think the area that can be explored will be larger, and the chance of getting the Purple Flame Zhuguo will be greater!" Chen Yuxiang said secretly.
Of course, Chen Yuxiang's goal is only on the smallest map of the area.
The map I got from Chen Ziang was big enough, but the time to explore the immortal ruins was only three months, and the area was too big to explore. Second, Chen Yuxiang has also seen the madness of these rich monks in the auction hall.
Facing Eva, a beautiful auctioneer, even irrelevant auction items can make them bid several times the reserve price, not to mention the map of this immortal ruin. He doesn't have the capital to compete with these guys!
"300,000! If it doesn't exceed 300,000 spirit stones, Lao Tzu will buy one ruthlessly!" Chen Yuxiang also made up his mind in his heart.
Although there were 500,000 spirit stones on the crystal card, he didn't dare to press them all. In case the immortal relics are found nothing, and the magic weapon is damaged, you must always leave a little capital for a comeback, right?
"The auction below is map No. 1, which is the largest in the region. It covers the Seven Peerless Domains, the Sea of Death, and part of the Ten Thousand Mountains. The starting price is 500,000 spirit stones, and the price will be increased by at least 50,000 each time!" On the auction table, Eva took out a jade slip from the tray and said with a smile.
Hearing this, there was another commotion in the auction hall. The Seven Peerless Domains and the Sea of Death are both considered places with a medium level of danger within the Immortal Ruins, while Wan Ling Mountain is a place with a high level of danger. As the saying goes, opportunities and dangers coexist, and the more dangerous the place, the greater the possibility of obtaining treasures. Just a part of the map of Wanren Mountain was enough to drive those vaunted monks crazy.
"550,000!"
As soon as Eva finished speaking, a monk sitting in the front row on the first floor spoke impatiently.
"600,000!"
"650,000!"
"700,000!"
“......”
The sound of bidding did not stop at all, and the price of the map soared to 900,000 in a short time. At this time, the monks in the hall on the first floor finally stopped raising the price.
However, the auctioneer Eva did not immediately drop the hammer, but looked in the direction of the high second-floor boxes with a smile on her face.
And the monk who bid 900,000 yuan was also extremely quiet, without any intention of urging at all, and it seemed that his temper was very good.
After a moment of silence, a voice suddenly came from a box on the second floor: "1.2 million!"
"Wow!"
The hall suddenly boiled, and countless people looked excitedly at the box where the sound came from. It seems that a good show is about to be staged......
Chen Yongqiang's eyes also lit up, and he muttered: "Damn! The people of the four major families are too fucking rich! A price increase is 400,000 spirit stones, obediently, ruthless!"
It didn't make the excited audience wait too long, and the commotion on the first floor subsided slightly, and another voice came from a box next to it: "1.4 million!"
"1.6 million!"
"1.8 million!"
"2 million!" the voice coming from the box where the first one opened was already faintly angry.
"2.2 million!" the voice in the other box was still so unhurried.
Throughout, it was only these two boxes that made noise, and the rest of the rooms were still silent, as if the monks inside were not willing to get involved.
"Nima! let you go!" After a moment of silence, the voice in the box that spoke first finally chose to give up.
On the auction table, Eva smiled and raised the auction hammer and dropped it gently: "Congratulations!
Old Monster Chen's face couldn't help but tremble, damn it, 2.2 million, and the Qinggang Sword, known as a pseudo-immortal weapon, is only 2 million.
This is not the top families, those top families themselves have enough maps and will not shoot at all.
After the No. 1 map was auctioned, the atmosphere in the auction hall also reached a ** in an instant, and the next few maps were also successfully auctioned at prices several times higher than the reserve price. However, none of them exceeded the number of 2.2 million, after all, the area is not as large as that covered by the No. 1 map.
After selling 7 maps in a row, Eva held the eighth map with it, but her face was a little strange: "Let's auction the eighth map." In this map, according to the guest who provided the map, although the area inside is small, there is a 10,000-year-old purple flame vermilion fruit growing in one place. Although there are a lot of heavenly and earthly treasures in the immortal ruins, the 10,000-year-old spirit grass is really rare, and we can't judge the authenticity of the news. Moreover, the Ten Thousand Year Spirit Grass, as far as we know, not many people can use it as medicine. Therefore, the reserve price of this map, we tentatively set it at 50,000 spirit stones, and the price increase is not less than 10,000 spirit stones each time. Interested adults, please do it!"
After saying that, Eva gently placed the jade slip on the auction table, and then stepped aside, a professional smile on her face. However, in her heart, she immediately thought of the young monk who provided the map.
"That lord is obviously just a Qi refining stage cultivator, but he claims to have penetrated deep into areas such as Bining Lake. Although he also swore by his heart demon, several stewards believed that there was a high probability that the map was fake. ”
"If it's not for a set of eight maps, how can such a thing be auctioned off by my hands?"
Somewhere in the auction hall on the first floor, a young monk with a melancholy expression was sitting. Seeing that his items finally appeared on the auction table, the young man's heart was also a little excited.
"Damn, if it weren't for the recent shortage of money, Lao Tzu wouldn't be willing to sell this map. You must know that there is more than just one Purple Flame Vermilion Fruit in the 10,000-year-old spirit grass there!"
"However, the seal of that medicine garden is too strong, even the old guy of the Wudang faction in the god transformation stage can't open it, if ordinary people buy it, can they go there and don't say, even if they get there, they can only watch and drool outside!"
"Those bastard appraisers in the auction hall actually don't believe Lao Tzu, and they said it so vaguely when they introduced it, it's really damn good! I hope those masters on the second floor can take a look at this map! In that case, Lao Tzu can go to the Star Tower for a few more days!"
......
"Purple Flame Zhuguo?"
These four words were like a bolt of lightning, making Chen Yuxiang's heart beat violently.
"If it's true, this trip to the immortal ruins can save a lot of detours!"
"However, I only have 500,000 on me, and I can't gamble all my might, if someone competes, it will be troublesome!"
Chen Yuxiang was anxious in his heart, but his face was silent, waiting for the bidding to begin.
"Huh?"
The time had passed, but there was still silence in the auction room.
And the monks who sat in the front row also sat on the sofa drinking tea for a long time, and none of them made a move.
"What's going on?" Chen Yuxiang asked with some confusion: "Ten thousand years of Purple Flame Zhuguo, why didn't anyone make a move?"
Hearing Chen Yuxiang speak, Chen Yongqiang poked out his head and smiled: "Brother, you don't understand this, right! The auction house has the rules of the auction house, and Eva's expression has already hinted that this thing is used to make up the numbers, and it is very likely to be fake." The guys who came to cheer Eva got the hint that they wouldn't make a move. Those people on the second floor are naturally even less likely to want such garbage. Wait, it's going to be a drop in time!"
"No, it's only 50,000 spirit stones. Even if the people in the front rows don't want it, don't the people in the back buy it? Chen Yuxiang said suspiciously.
"If you can't use it for alchemy, what's the use of a hundred thousand year spirit grass?" Chen Yongqiang sneered: "Do you know that a few decades ago, the Dan King Lu Xiansheng tried to refine the ten thousand year spirit grass and was almost blown up! Since then, the price at which the Ten Thousand Year Spirit Grass was purchased by the Ten Thousand Treasure Pavilion has been reduced to 100,000 spirit stones each. Think about it, spend 50,000 spirit stones, and then risk your life to go to the immortal ruins and get the spirit grass worth 100,000 spirit stones back, who wants to do such a thing? Moreover, this qualification to enter the immortal ruins is not something that ordinary people can have! The lives of those bastards are very expensive!"
"That's it!" Chen Yuxiang nodded, but there was a hint of joy in his heart. If that's the case, maybe you'll be able to get your hands on the map.
The development of things was indeed not what Chen Yongqiang expected, and the silence in the auction hall remained for a long time, only a few monks lowered their heads and whispered, but the sound of bidding never appeared.
After waiting for the allotted 10 breath time, a smile appeared on Eva's face. Finally, his identity as a gold medal auctioneer was saved. Otherwise, if you really sell a guy, your brilliant experience in the MiG auction house will inevitably be stained with a trace of flaws.
Walking to the auction table, Eva stretched out her right hand, elegantly picked up the auction hammer, and said with a smile: "Unfortunately, since there has been no adult bidding, I announce that this eighth map is ...... in circulation."
"Wait a minute!" Eva didn't say a word "shoot", and a voice rang out in a remote corner of the auction hall: "I'll pay 50,000!"
"...... Uproar"
In the calm auction hall, there was a low commotion again. Everyone turned their heads to look over, and saw that the speaker was a thin young man in Ge Yi, and his skills also had the appearance of being advanced in the Qi refining period, but judging from Han Qi's clothes, he didn't seem to be a child of a big family.
However, although there were some doubts, few people dared to laugh. The MiG Auction House is a place of great etiquette, and the emphasis is on treating every monk equally. Moreover, the millions of monks in Luoyang City, the generation of the Hidden Dragon and Crouching Tiger, who dare to laugh at others casually, often die without knowing how they died.
Seeing that Chen Yuxiang actually opened his bid to bid, Chen Yongqiang immediately understood that this kid must have the qualifications to go to the immortal ruins. Such a person is naturally not an ordinary person, and Chen Yongqiang's inferiority complex immediately surged up involuntarily. And Chen Xin'er, who had not spoken all the time, looked at Chen Yuxiang, and a trace of brilliance flashed in her beautiful eyes......
"Where did this mallet come from!" Eva smiled, but there was a hint of displeasure in the corners of her eyes. He has already made an obvious hint that it is rare in Luoyang City to dare not give himself face like this. However, looking at the appearance of this kid, it is obvious that it is possible that he has come to this MiG auction house for the first time.
Although she thought so, the displeasure on Eva's face was fleeting. In an instant, a spring-like smile hung on her cheeks again: "This adult has paid 50,000, is there anything higher?"
After a pause, suddenly, a lazy voice came from the box on the second floor: "60,000!"
"70,000!" Chen Yuxiang gritted his teeth and said.
"80,000!"
"100,000! I don't want it any higher!" Chen Yuxiang pretended to be depressed.
"Hey, you've won!" the lazy voice brought a hint of banter at this time.
"Haha......"
After a few moments, the auction room suddenly became full of joy. Almost everyone laughed presumptuously or reservedly, and the target of this ridicule was naturally Chen Yuxiang.
"This son, even if you have money, you can't spend it indiscriminately! Didn't I just tell you, a Purple Flame Vermilion Fruit is only worth 100,000 spirit stones!"
After knowing that Chen Yuxiang was quite wealthy, Chen Yongqiang's title also changed, and he didn't dare to call Chen Yuxiang his brother anymore, but when he saw that Chen Yuxiang had fallen into such a big deal, he still couldn't help but complain.
"Huh. Eva on the auction table couldn't help but chuckle, and the unhappiness in her heart was diluted a lot.
"This adult is 100,000 yuan, is there anything higher?"
"Bang!" is the sound of the auction hammer falling.
"Congratulations, map 8 is yours!"
