Chapter 46: The Thief Boy
After Mu Chen seized the opportunity, there were still a few monks who wanted to go on stage, but seeing that the booth had been occupied, they no longer competed.
The discussion in the audience sounded, mostly wondering how the disciples of the seventy-two sects were mixed up with the scattered cultivators, Mu Chen turned a deaf ear, and just took out a very complete skeleton of the demon beast leader and put it into the Kuoding.
Originally, this beast bone was enough to be tall, but Kuoding is also worthy of being an auxiliary class of high-grade immortal weapons, when Mu Chen put the beast bones twice as tall as Kuoding, the beast bones automatically shrank into a volume that is enough to contain in the tripod, and even restored the three-dimensional image of the beast bones.
The monks who were attracted by the beast bones also gradually stopped talking and waited intently for Mu Chen's introduction.
"Fellow initiates, this is my lot, a complete beast bone taken from the leader of the raccoon dog. ”
"The level of murder of this raccoon dog demon leader is moderate, it is estimated that the demon has been transformed into a demon for seven years, and the entire beast bone is seven feet three inches long, with a complete spine and forty-two trunk bones, one hundred and twenty-six limb bones, and seventeen skulls. ”
"The periosteum and ligaments of the beast bones are all preserved, and the time to kill and take the bones is not more than a week, it can be said that it is freshly baked, and the reserve price is only eighty-five taels of silver. ”
After Mu Chen's introduction, the monks in the audience began to discuss again, the number of demon beasts has decreased sharply in the past two years, and it is rare to see such a complete beast bone, but the quality of this beast bone is only medium, so the monks are not in a hurry to shout the price.
Zhang Banxian's face in the audience suddenly turned pale, his eyes widened, and he pointed to the complete set of beast bones on the stage, his fingers kept trembling.
Niu Laodao, who was next to him, scratched his head strangely when he saw what Mu Chen took out.
"Brother Zhang, this kid surnamed Mu said that he wanted to sell animal bones, didn't he just show you the longest spine and leg bone, he didn't seem to say that he had a complete set of skeletons, right?"
“......”
"Hey, this thief boy, thief boy!"
Originally, Zhang Banxian was glaring, but suddenly he pointed at Mu Chen's hand and slapped it on his thigh, not angry but laughing, seeing that the scattered cultivators beside him were inexplicable.
Niu Laodao's palm shook in front of his eyes, and Zhang Banxian couldn't see it, still laughing.
Mu Chen stood on the stage and observed the surroundings, naturally seeing Zhang Banxian's abnormal behavior, he also smiled at Zhang Banxian in return, and then looked around to see the reactions of the monks, and he probably knew it in his heart.
The price of the entire set of animal bones will probably be one-fifth higher than the price of the spine, which Zhang Banxian told Mu Chen before in order to show his erudition.
It just so happens that the swordsmanship used by Mu Chen pays attention to the lethal blow, even if it is at the attack, it will only leave a clean and neat sword wound, which is very easy to repair, and Fu Yi has already told Mu Chen that there is only one principle when harvesting demon beast materials:
Destroy as little as possible and keep as much as possible.
So Mu Chen noticed this when he was disposing of the corpse in the barren mountain, after all, Zhujiantang was 'very poor'.
When he withdrew his gaze and waited intently for the monks to discuss the result, he suddenly noticed two strange people standing on the outskirts of the hall, a man and a woman, both with masks covering their faces, so that people could not see their appearances.
Of course, there were some monks with their faces covered in the venue, so there was nothing strange about hiding their identities.
It's just that the male cultivator with the mask with a half-bone platinum-rimmed mask seemed to have been sweeping over Mu Chen all the time, but it made him feel a little uncomfortable.
After waiting for a while, a monk finally shouted out the reserve price, probably a herd mentality, and the number of monks shouting the price suddenly increased.
"Ninety taels!"
"I'll give a hundred taels!"
"One hundred and fifty taels!"
"One hundred and twelve taels ......"
The price of raccoon dog demon beast bones shouted higher and higher, but the monks also lowered the speed of shouting after the price exceeded one hundred and twenty taels, and finally this set of beast bones was sold at a price of one hundred and thirty-eight taels, which really surprised Mu Chen.
These sect disciples don't look very old, but they are only twenty or thirty years old, how can they be so rich?
He didn't continue to take out the monster materials, and the people who boarded the auction booth could only sell one lot at a time, which was also the rule of free auctions, in order to prevent one person from selling multiple pieces of the same material at the same time, which would affect the price of similar materials later.
When he successfully traded with the buyer and returned to the loose cultivation team, he saw Zhang Banxian running over excitedly, as if he wanted to hug him, with obvious murderous aura in his eyes.
Mu Chen was not afraid, took out the cloth bag containing silver, stretched out his hand and raised it over his shoulders, and shook it in front of Zhang Banxian's eyes.
"Senior Zhang, the beast bones were sold for one hundred and thirty-eight taels of silver, and I only kept twenty taels of silver, and I will give you the rest, okay?"
"W-what, you said you would give me the money?"
Zhang Banxian paused, looked at Mu Chen's smiling face in disbelief, grabbed the cloth bag, and counted the silver in the bag several times, sure enough, it was one hundred and eighteen taels, and one tael of silver was a lot.
"Mu boy, you, why did you do this, do you really don't care about money at all, you really have no desires?"
"Only keep twenty taels of silver, how can you buy a satisfactory refining material later, didn't you say that you don't have a fairy weapon of your own?"
Zhang Banxian still couldn't believe it, obviously Muchen already knew that he was lying to him from beginning to end, why did he willingly give the silver to himself, just because on that street, he made an agreement with himself?
"Senior Zhang, in fact, it's like this, I ......"
Mu Chen attached himself to Zhang Banxian's ear and whispered a few words, when he patted the old Taoist priest on the shoulder and left the old Taoist priest's ear.
Zhang Banxian's white hair was tied on the top of his head, his eyes were round, and he asked uncertainly.
"What you, what you just said, is true!"
"Really, juniors never lie. ”
Mu Chen was still smiling, and he was leaking out a mouth full of white teeth, and his smile was even brighter and more dazzling, even when others saw him, they would be infected by his smile, and they unconsciously had a close impression of him.
Zhang Banxian Mu was in place, and only nodded cautiously after a long time.
"Well, I finally get what you mean. ”
"It was because I was clumsy before, and I thought you were a good deception, but your frankness made me ashamed. ”
"What you said, wrap it up on me!"
Zhang Banxian sighed, only because he knew until now that he had never seen through this young man, but he was like a naked fruit, and he was looked at by this young man.
They returned to the group of casual cultivators together, talking and laughing along the way, not at all like they had deceived and concealed each other before, but like they had known each other for many years.
The free auction continued, Zhang Banxian hid the silver beautifully, and continued to tell Mu Chen about these refining materials, but he was more cautious in his words, and he didn't dare to talk nonsense anymore, and he took the things he couldn't hold seriously seriously.
Mu Chen went to the auction table a few more times, and what he took out was still a demon beast material of similar quality to the previous raccoon dog demon beast bones.
Although it is best to release these monster materials in seven days in turn, so that they can be sold at a high price, there will be no price fluctuations due to the large number of monster materials appearing in the auction hall at the same time.
But there is no need to care about that at the moment, Mu Chen is in a hurry to use the money, he still has an important thing to do.
