The little eagle said in an unhappy tone, "Why are you pulling me?
I spent my money, but I didn’t use yours!"
Li Cheng said helplessly: "Forget it, my mother doesn't necessarily have to eat such expensive ginseng. When I have the opportunity in the future, I will buy her some younger ones to eat."
The little eagle said unhappily: "I just want to argue with him!"
Li Cheng advised: "Forget it, he did it on purpose at first glance. Purple leaf ginseng is not worth more than 40,000.
Besides, my mother is very ill. If I don’t have enough money, I will have to ask you to borrow it."
Gu Yuan did not speak, but looked at Sulet thoughtfully.
"The gray monk bids forty-one thousand taels! Is there anyone else who bids higher?"
"Forty-one thousand taels once, forty-one thousand taels the second time..."
"Forty-one thousand taels..." the auctioneer deliberately lengthened his tone and looked at Li Cheng with a half-smile.
Seeing that Li Cheng had no intention of bidding anymore, the auctioneer said:
"Forty thousand one thousand taels for the third time! Congratulations to the monk wearing a gray gown for taking this treasure. A maid will lead you to settle the final payment later."
Sulet stood up proudly and glanced at Gu Yuan before leaving with the maid.
"What the hell, this villain!"
The little eagle kicked the stool in front of him angrily.
Next, several more treasures were auctioned.
Li Cheng was unhappy, and Little Eagle was also very angry.
At this time, Sulet also came back. He returned to his original seat with the brocade box in his hand and fiddled with it repeatedly, all the while looking at Gu Yuan and the others with provocative eyes.
"The treasure we are going to auction below is a mysterious treasure map!"
"This treasure map is a partial map, which means there is only half of it."
The auctioneer slowly unfolded the half-volume treasure map. There was only half of the pattern on the treasure map.
It looks a bit shabby and is made of unknown animal skin. It looks like it has been aged for a long time and has been severely worn.
Immediately a monk in the audience asked: "If you want to sell, just sell one. What's the use of your half treasure map?"
Someone soon echoed, "That's right, aren't you wasting our time?
Who knows if the half of the treasure map can be found?
Maybe it would have been burned long ago."
The auctioneer felt a little embarrassed and immediately cleared his throat and said with a normal expression:
"Everyone, please be patient. It is impossible to burn it. This animal skin is extremely tough and cannot be damaged even by knife or fire..."
"As you can see, the material used in this treasure map is not an ordinary vicious beast skin. According to our repeated verification, it is made of the skin of a star beast! What it guides is the great treasure of a Nascent Soul monk.
tomb……"
"and……"
The auctioneer's words were quickly interrupted,
“What’s more, it’s only half a sheet, so what’s the use of drawing it with any skin?
That star beast skin can’t be used as elixir, even if you tell me you’re going to break the sky, we won’t buy it!”
"That's right, the stones and eggs on the mountain are also very hard, and they are not afraid of being cut with knives or fire, so what's the use of them?
Hurry up and auction the next treasure, everyone is waiting for it!"
Sulet has been paying attention to the situation on Gu Yuan's side.
When Gu Yuan saw this treasure map for the first time, he immediately sat upright.
He even touched his treasure bag with his hand, but quickly let go.
Surratt also noticed that Gu Yuan's hands were shaking slightly, and his eyes were staring at the treasure map in the auctioneer's hand without blinking.
A sneer appeared on the corner of Surratt's lips.
The auctioneer continued: "The starting bid for this treasure map is fifty thousand taels of silver."
There was a commotion in the auction house.
"What the hell?
Half a treasure map is sold for so much!"
"It's still fifty thousand taels, I don't even want five thousand taels!"
The monks in the audience were all sarcastic, and no one was planning to bid.
"I want fifty thousand taels of silver!"
Everyone looked at Gu Yuan, and everyone was thinking, why did this stupid boy spend so much money to buy half a treasure map?
If we can't find that half of the treasure map, won't the fifty thousand taels of silver be wasted?
Even the impulsive little eagle asked curiously: "Gu Yuan, what do you want this broken picture for?"
Gu Yuan said confidently, "You don't have to worry about it, I have my own use."
A few monks who thought they were very smart quickly whispered among themselves:
"This kid must have the remaining half of the treasure map."
"I guess so, otherwise who would be willing to spend so much money?"
"That picture is extraordinary at first glance. This kid really got lucky."
"The auctioneer said it was the tomb of a Nascent Soul monster. What a pity. Why didn't I encounter such a good thing?"
"In the final analysis, this is also his creation. It is useless for us to envy him."
The auctioneer originally thought that the treasure map would not be auctioned, but he did not expect Gu Yuan to bid. Like everyone else, he thought that Gu Yuan was holding the other half of the treasure map.
"This young hero offers fifty thousand taels, if not..."
Gu Yuan's face flushed with excitement and he picked up the tea bowl on the table to hide his mood.
"Fifty-one thousand taels!"
This time, before the auctioneer had finished speaking, Surratt raised the price.
Gu Yuan was so angry that he placed the tea bowl heavily on the table and stopped drinking the tea.
"Fifty-two thousand taels!"
"Fifty-three thousand taels!"
Surratt had a gloating expression on his face.
"Fifty-five thousand taels!"
…
The two soon became red-faced.
Gu Yuan is bound to win.
Surratt refused to give in even a single step.
The price of the treasure map skyrocketed, when the price rose to five hundred thousand taels of silver.
Gu Yuan finally stopped talking and sat on the chair with a decadent look.
For a moment, the atmosphere was a little strange.
Sulet looked at Gu Yuan stupidly, he still didn't understand what happened.
But the people around me all understood. They burst into laughter and congratulated Sulet for taking the treasure map. They all said things like "good luck and good fortune".
Surratt was about to cry without tears, and there were beads of sweat on his forehead.
He stared at Gu Yuan, feeling a little regretful at this moment.
This treasure map is useful to Gu Yuan, but it is really useless to him.
Spending half a million to buy such a useless treasure map gave Surratt a headache.
Soon, a maid came to guide Surratt to pay the balance.
Surratt was very hesitant. He was even prepared to lose the horse to keep the handsome man, and wanted to use the 100,000 taels of silver as a deposit to offset the auction.
But when Gu Yuan looked at him with hopeful eyes, as if waiting for him to fail to come up with the money, Surratt felt that he could not give up the treasure map.
Sulet's idea was very simple. Gu Yuan must have the other half of the treasure map. Gu Yuan did not continue to bid simply because Gu Yuan did not have enough money.
As long as you hold this picture in your hand, you can manipulate Gu Yuan at will!
No matter how bad it is, you can sell this picture to Gu Yuan at a high price and give him a huge profit!
