Chapter 8: Red Pills

The auctioneer on the square platform paused and began to explain: "Although this red pill cannot be said to be the treasure of my maple leaf pawnshop, its preciousness is beyond doubt. Of course, its owner is also extremely mysterious, and it is inconvenient to tell here. This red pill has very few functions, it will not help cultivators increase a trace of spiritual energy, nor will it expand the spiritual sea, or consolidate the true element, its only function is to help cultivators break through the realm!"

"Huh?"

The guests sitting around all changed color, which could help the cultivators break through the realm? This is simply an elixir.

As we all know, within a certain age group, the level of cultivation does not depend on the morning or evening of entry, but the time to break through the realm. For a practitioner, most of this depends on talent or luck, and if there is not enough talent, then the only thing a practitioner can do is to wait, waiting for a moment of inspiration, sudden enlightenment, and thus understand the mental method of breaking the realm.

"Hurry up, what is the starting price of this pill. ”

Some of the guests in the auction hall who knew little and had an impatient personality could not hold back the excitement in their hearts.

"Haha!" the auctioneer laughed when he heard this, "Guys, please don't be too anxious, it's better to listen to me and decide whether to buy it or not, otherwise the consequences will be quite terrifying." The auctioneer paused and continued.

"Yes, although I just said that this red pill can indeed help cultivators break through the realm, but everyone should listen well, this red pill is only effective for those who want to break through the Inscription Trace Realm. ”

When those people who were extremely excited just heard this, they suddenly felt deflated, if they reached the Inscription Realm, who would come here, you must know that the Inscription Realm is the sixth realm, and the cultivators who have the sixth realm, I am afraid that any small sect can be fully qualified for the position of the head of the sect.

The auctioneer smiled, and did not lose the interest in explaining because of everyone's sighs, "This red pill is very powerful, if any guest does not reach the late stage of this inscription realm at all, but takes this red pill, then the only result is that the meridians burst, the blood boils, and finally the true yuan is destroyed, and even dies because of it." ”

As soon as these words came out, some impatient and self-aware guests began to prepare to leave their seats.

"Okay!" the auctioneer didn't pay attention to anything, "Now that we've finished speaking, let's start the official auction now, and the starting price of this red pill is ten taels of silver." ”

"Ten taels of silver? The starting price of such a precious pill is only ten taels?"

The exclamations around them instantly rang out, but after a few moments, the voices subsided, and they no longer cared what the owner of the red pill thought, but they knew that even if it was so cheap, it could not be easily obtained.

There is no need to say that it has no effect on himself, if he really brought this red pill with him, in case he was discovered by someone who needed him, it would be a disaster! The enemy in the late stage of the Inscription Realm, if there is no strong [back] scene like the Maple Leaf Pawnshop, then what awaits him is a silent disappearance.

At this time, everyone is ready to leave, this is probably just a gimmick of the Maple Leaf Pawnshop, there will never be such a master in this area of Danyang City, let alone appear here.

What's even more suspicious is that this is a conspiracy in itself, just waiting for the master to enter the urn, and you should understand the [back] scene of the maple leaf pawnshop.

However, just as everyone had already stood up, an old voice sounded in the corner.

"Ten taels!"

Everyone was stunned! Everyone turned their eyes to that corner, even the auctioneer was as stunned as if struck by lightning, for him, it was just a passing scene, he never believed that when or who would actually open his mouth to bid.

At this time, everyone was probably thinking about a few questions.

"Who the hell is that guy in the corner?"

"Could it be that there really is a master of the Inscription Realm here?

But in the end, they all came to the same conclusion that the old man who made the bid must have no knowledge of spiritual matters.

At this time, Xu Chen also looked at Lao Wu stupidly, because it was Uncle Wu beside him who was the bidder just now. Although Xu Chen had been prepared for a long time, when he heard about the disadvantages of the red pill, he thought that Lao Wu had made a mistake, but he didn't expect Lao Wu to really bid.

"Damn, is Uncle Wu going to kill me?" Xu Chen kept muttering in his heart.

"Are you sure you really want to buy this red pill?"

After calming down, the auctioneer asked respectfully, but there was a cautious reminder in his tone.

I only heard Lao Wu in a dark corner, calmly and slightly accusatory, asking: "What? Do you feel that the starting price is low? Now you don't want to sell it? This is not the style of a maple leaf pawnshop!"

Under the dim light, I saw the auctioneer respectfully bow deeply to the corner, and said politely: "This senior! Maple Leaf Pawnshop has always been the first reputation, and it is true." It's just that...... It's just that I'm curious, have you really reached the cultivation level of the late stage of the Inscription Realm?" In fact, this auctioneer had already used his spiritual sense to investigate, but the result was that he didn't know anything about Lao Wu.

"Can't you bid if you don't reach it?"

Lao Wu's voice suddenly became extremely cold, it was questioning, angry questioning.

"Oh, senior, of course not!" said the auctioneer embarrassedly, theoretically Lao Wu was right. But the auctioneer couldn't say the reason behind this, "That...... That ......"

The auctioneer was trying to announce the ownership of the red pill, because there was no point in continuing to bid.

"Twenty taels!"

At this moment, a slightly immature voice sounded.

Everyone looked at it again in amazement, and the voice was Xu Yang from seat eight.

It's a wonderful day, I didn't expect to meet a master, and I didn't expect to meet two at once, and everyone was talking.

The auctioneer laughed unconsciously when he heard this, turned to No. 8 and whispered: "This little brother, although I can't see who you are, I can feel that you are now in the early stage of the second realm, and this one next to you should be in the middle of the third realm, you say, am I right?" Although the words were respectful, the tone was extremely sadistic, meaning that it was messed up.

"You!"

Xu Yang's face flushed in the dark and stopped talking. He just wanted to take revenge on the old man's voice, after all, that person robbed him of his Turning Spirit Pill, but at this time, the auctioneer said his cultivation in public, and even said Elder Huang's cultivation, presumably this auctioneer's cultivation should be above Elder Huang. He trembled with rage.

"Oh! My young master is just joking, you can go ahead!"

Elder Huang beside Xu Yang made a round and whispered in Xu Yang's ear: "Second Young Master, you are too reckless, don't talk about what will happen to this red pill, if that old man over there is really a master of the Inscription Realm, then wouldn't you cause a lot of trouble for the Xu family?" Xu Yang lowered his head silently when he heard this.

"Humph!"

The auctioneer snorted coldly, "This guest!" I'm just kindly reminding you, but my Maple Leaf Pawnshop is not a small market outside, there are rules here, and it's not something you can do if you say don't want to." Now that this little brother has already made a bid, if the seniors over there don't bid anymore, then you have to take this red pill! If it's your reason that the red pill is lost, you should know what the consequences are. ”

The auctioneer's tone was cold, obviously threatening.

"This ......"

Elder Huang's heart churned, of course he knew the [back] scene of the Maple Leaf Pawnshop, it was not something that the Xu family could provoke.

Just when there was a stalemate here, I could only hear the old voice in the far corner sounding again, "Twenty-five taels!"

As soon as these words came out, Elder Huang's heart finally calmed down, and he wiped the sweat from his head, extremely happy.

The auctioneer ignored Xu Yang and the others, turned to the direction of Xu Chen and Lao Wu, and said respectfully: "Okay! Then this red pill belongs to you!"

As he spoke, the auctioneer carefully put the red pill into the iron box and gently picked up the wooden sign marked with the red pill next to it.

Just when everyone thought it was about to end, they saw the auctioneer turn around suddenly, and at the same time, the wooden card in his hand was thrown like a lightning bolt, heading straight for Lao Wu's direction.

Everyone's hearts were cold, and their hairs stood on end, although the auctioneer just threw it casually, but from the speed and strength of the wooden card flying out, it could be seen that it contained extremely strong skills, and it seemed that the auctioneer wanted to test whether the customer who bought the red pill was prepared or ignorant.

Xu Chen was naturally startled, but at that moment, he saw that Lao Wu was not raising his head, and raised his right hand lazily, and when the wooden card was less than two feet away from Lao Wu, its speed suddenly slowed down, like a slowly falling leaf, and gently fell into Lao Wu's slightly dull hand.

The auctioneer's body was stunned, although the oil lamp was dim, everyone could still see the unconscious twitching of his face. He originally thought that if the old man in the dark was a master, he would grab the wooden card at lightning speed, which was also considered that the red pill did not fall into the hands of mediocrity. But he never expected that the other party could use his profound skills to control the wooden cards with ease, as if he was at ease.

"Senior, disrespectful, I've just offended! You can take the wooden card to the counter and get this red pill later. ”

With that, the auctioneer bowed respectfully to the corner again.

Lao Wu smiled slightly, did not speak, and just waited to leave.

According to the rules of the Maple Leaf Pawnshop, guests who have not won the auction can leave at any time, but the guests who have won the auction can only go downstairs and leave after the other guests have left. Because this way you can protect the identity of your guests.

The other guests walked out one after another, and Xu Chen at this time looked at Lao Wu stupidly, and the doubts and hopes in his heart were inexplicably boiling.

I don't know how long it took, but it was finally Xu Chen's turn and Lao Wu to leave. They followed the original path to the counter in the antechamber and handed the wooden sign and the corresponding silver ticket to the shopkeeper.

The old shopkeeper's eyes lit up, and his face was full of smiles, "The old slave really has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai, hehe! When you enter the door, you still ...... Needless to say, I've been here for more than a decade, and this is the first time someone has picked up an item with a wooden tag. What a ......."

The old shopkeeper was so excited that he didn't know what to say, so he took out a large package from under the counter and handed it to Xu Chen.

"Such a big package!"

Xu Chen didn't know why, he remembered that the two things that Lao Wu photographed were not so big at all!

The old shopkeeper smiled, "This young master, you don't know, as long as you are a guest who has taken an item here, we will wrap such a big package when you leave, so that no one will know what the item you have photographed." ”

Xu Chen nodded suddenly, and kept admiring the meticulousness of the maple leaf pawnshop in his heart, and after thanking him, he followed Lao Wu out of the door of the pawnshop with a large bag and a small wrap.

However, at this moment, a man in black came to the auction hall on the second floor of the backyard, and in the dark, he respectfully said to the auctioneer: "Boss, you have something to do with me?"
