Although the old man's laughter was very hearty, it was quite harsh in Xu Chen's ears, and he couldn't tell the reason, but he really felt the pressure.

Just when Xu Chen was stunned, the auctioneer on the stage also paused, and then smiled slightly and quoted the reserve price of the ancient leaf grass.

"The starting price of this bottle of ancient leaf grass is 1,000 taels of silver. ”

This is really a lion's mouth, a thousand taels of silver is an ordinary person's expenses for a few years, and here, you can only buy a small bottle of potion.

"It's fucking expensive!"

Some people in the audience have already started to complain, but unfortunately, this is an auction house, and this is only the reserve price.

"Okay! Someone has already bidd, it's the twenty-third guest. ”

Hearing this number, Xu Chen suddenly woke up from his contemplation, because Xu Zijie was the twenty-third.

He turned his head slowly, and Xu Zijie had just put down the cards in his hand.

Xu Chen shook his head and said in his heart, "Father is really happy to start bidding so early." ”

After the auctioneer shouted the price, many people thought about Xu Zijie's opinion, and there was envy, jealousy, and of course, faint hatred.

Among them, there was a pair of eyes that cast a cold and calm gaze, and those eyes belonged to the old man of Beiqiang.

Xu Chen just glanced at it casually, and a chill ran in his heart.

At this time, the auction is continuing, and the auctioneer on the stage is professional to arouse people's interest, "Is there any more bidding?"

"The guest who just bid probably has a lot of people who know, that is the famous Xu family master in Yong'an Town, which shows how precious and rare this bottle of ancient leaf grass is. ”

"Fifteen hundred taels!"

At this time, a voice suddenly came out, and the guests in the audience were in a commotion, and they looked straight at the person who made the offer, which turned out to be Huang Shouren next to the old man of Beiqiang.

Indeed, such an expensive thing, even if an ordinary cultivator can afford it, then he will definitely weigh it, after all, silver is not blown by a strong wind, even if it is blown by a strong wind, it can't be squandered that night, right?

In fact, most of these cultivators also live for money, they are ordinary cultivators, and their cultivation is nothing more than two purposes.

First, they should be able to make progress in the armed forces and achieve their own small undertakings.

Second, be able to throw yourself into someone's door and settle down.

There are not many people who really regard cultivation as a lifelong interest, so those who can pay this price must not be ordinary cultivators, or, in contrast, cultivators who are not bad for money.

At this time, Xu Zijie also turned his head to look at Huang Shouren who was not far away, who knows, at this time, Huang Shouren was also looking here, and suddenly looked at each other, and both of them smiled slightly, as a meeting etiquette.

However, in the auction hall, how can those who can bid with each other be friends?

For this ancient leaf grass, everyone else present has already put on a gesture of giving up, first of all, it is useless, and more importantly, it is too expensive.

Although this kind of ancient leaf grass is indeed rare, you can't go hungry for it, right? It's a rich man's pastime.

Half a day passed, and no one shouted another price, at this time, I saw Xu Zijie look around and raise his hand again.

"Guest No. 23, one thousand six hundred taels!"

The smile between the auctioneer's eyebrows is self-evident, in the Maple Leaf Pawnshop, unsuccessful auctions are also a common thing, and today's scene, there are two bigwigs here, I'm afraid the business is going to be hot.

But it was obvious that Huang Shouren, who was not far away, was not so excited, he turned his head slightly again and looked at Xu Zijie, and his smile at this time was already with some indescribable anger.

"Two thousand taels!"

He shouted out the price.

As he shouted out the price, everyone breathed a breath of incredible, after all, this is an auction house, and auctions always have to bid little by little, and this one is simply grabbing, not following the routine at all.

This price is obviously to make everyone look away.

At this time, the auctioneer looked at Xu Zijie comically and said loudly: "Two thousand taels, is there anything higher?"

Obviously, at this time, there was a kind of teasing, wanting Xu Zijie to bid again.

However, Xu Zijie has never spoken, even if he is worth tens of millions, he has earned it little by little, how can he spend it like this.

He just smiled, but never raised his hand again.

Originally, he wanted to buy this bottle of ancient leaf grass for Xu Chen, he didn't know if Xu Chen needed it, but before coming to the maple leaf pawnshop, he decided to give Xu Chen some gifts.

No matter what items the auction house took out today, he had to wrap up the circle today, who knows, he actually killed a Huang Shouren in an oblique stab, which made Xu Zijie a little caught off guard.

So, after thinking about it, he decided not to argue with that brute fellow anymore, otherwise, the bottle of ancient leaf grass would not know what price it would be raised.

However, just when the auctioneer wanted to make a final decision, Xu Chen, who was beside him, actually raised his hand.

"Two thousand one hundred taels!"

The auctioneer on the stage excitedly quoted the price.

Obviously, this is beyond the true value of ancient leaf grass, and moreover, it has exceeded a lot.

Even Xu Zijie looked at Xu Chen beside him incredulously, and his eyes seemed to say, "Why?"

However, Xu Chen turned his head to look at Huang Shouren, or rather, he looked at the old man from Beiqiang.

Xu Yang, who was sitting on the other side, glanced at Xu Chen, and kept shaking his head, he couldn't understand Xu Chen's intentions, just like Xu Zijie couldn't understand.

Obviously, the scene at this time was very tense, but it was not the kind of tension that the auction hall should have, the old man of Beiqiang stood upside down, and he was even more angry than Huang Shouren beside him.

"Chen'er, why are you paying such a high price?"

Xu Zijie asked in a low voice, "Well, I'm not worried about money, I don't think that thing is worth it!"

But seeing Xu Chen smiled slightly, he shook his head and said, "Father, I just want to know why that Huang Shouren paid such a high price, and I also want to know what the old man is." ”

However, as soon as he finished speaking, Huang Shouren over there shouted out the price of three thousand taels again.

This is already a sky-high price, and if anyone follows it, it can only be said that that person has no brains, or is a natural fool.

However, Xu Chen still slowly raised his hand, he was not stupid to be a person, he wanted to know how important that bottle of ancient leaf grass was to Huang Shouren.

In other words, it should be how important it should be to the old man of Beiqiang.

Because, he obviously felt that the other party wanted to fight for this ancient leaf grass, it should be for the old man of Beiqiang, otherwise, why was that old man so angry every time Xu Chen made a bid?

Sure enough, Huang Shouren didn't say a word, and shouted out the price of three thousand five hundred taels.

At the same time, the old man from Beiqiang had already stood up and slowly walked in front of Xu Zijie and the others, his face was calm, but there was already a slow killing intent in his eyes.

The killing intent even scared away one of the guests next to him.

Maybe this is the purpose of the old man, and he sat down next to Xu Chen, he exhaled a long breath, and did not make any other moves.

However, just as Xu Chen was about to raise his hand again, he said softly, "Little doll, do we know each other?"

Maybe Xu Chen had already thought of what the other party would say to him, so he was not surprised, stopped the movements of his hand, and replied softly: "I don't know, right?"

"Huh!"

The old man smiled strangely, "Since we don't know each other, shouldn't we have a grudge?"

"That's nature, and I never said we had a grudge?"

Xu Chen replied coldly.

But I saw that the old man grabbed the armrest of the chair with his right hand, and the wooden armrest instantly turned into powder all over the ground and slowly fell.

If you are seen by others, you will be surprised, surprised by the old man's cultivation, and if you are seen by the auction on the stage, you will definitely let the old man compensate.

However, Xu Chen did not react, and raised the cards in his hand generously.

"Okay! Guest No. 33, bid three thousand six hundred taels!"

The auctioneer on the stage quoted the price again, and apparently, he couldn't close his mouth anymore.

However, the old man beside Xu Chen was shaking with his fists, he didn't expect the young man in front of him to dare to ignore him like this.

"Don't you understand what I mean?"

"What do you mean, uncle, please tell me!"

Xu Chen can pretend to be naïve.

"Hey, hey!"

The old man smiled angrily, and his cousin was very ugly, "I said doll, you can pretend to be quite good, tell you, I can kill you with one hand now, do you believe it or not? And let me tell you, if you dare to raise your card again, I will never let you go, although I dare not do it here, but today, as long as you go out of this door, you will definitely die, and no one can save you!"

It was clear that he was threatening, a naked threat.

His voice was very small, and even Xu Zijie on Xu Chen's right didn't hear what he said, but Xu Zijie had been carefully observing the situation here.

"I said, uncle, you didn't go to the wrong place, did you?"

Xu Chen looked disdainful, "This is the auction house, I bid my price, how can I say that I am in the way of you?

"Naturally, that's important to me!"

The corners of the old man's mouth were already upturned, and his face was evil, "I have to get that bottle of ancient leaf grass today, I said, I'll give you a chance, if you dare to raise your card again, I will definitely not let you go." ”

After speaking, the old man slowly leaned back in his chair and looked up at the ceiling of the auction room.

At this time, that Huang Shouren had already offered a sky-high price of four thousand taels again, which showed that he was bound to win.

Xu Chen listened to it in his ears, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, and he seemed to understand why the old man beside him cared so much about the bottle of ancient leaf grass.

Because, he had already sensed that this old man's body must be injured, and for a cultivator with a high cultivation level, it was naturally difficult for ordinary medicine to work.

Although Xu Chen didn't know whether this ancient leaf grass could cure injuries, or whether he could prepare good medicine to cure injuries, Xu Chen knew that he must not let this old man get it, because this old man was from Beiqiang.

This has nothing to do with him, but he has an inseparable connection with Chu Yang.

Therefore, Xu Chen hesitated for a moment, and he slowly raised his hand again, four thousand one hundred taels.
