The host took out a secret book from the brocade box, placed it on the exhibition table, and introduced it with great emotion. This is a secret book of techniques with a wood attribute.
There are more than a dozen common wood-based exercises in it.
Then the starting price was mentioned, thirty thousand taels.
Everyone in the audience seemed uninterested.
"I want thirty thousand taels."
After waiting for a while and seeing no one bid, Gu Yuan spoke.
"Someone really took the photo. What does he need this bad secret book for?"
"I don't know. They are all ordinary exercises and they are so expensive."
The host did not expect that anyone would actually buy this secret book. He smiled and said: "Thirty thousand taels, the first time! Thirty thousand taels, the second time! Thirty thousand taels..."
The words are not finished yet.
Du Yanwei shouted loudly, "I will pay fifty thousand taels!"
Du Yanwei turned to look at Gu Yuan with an unruly and sinister expression, making it clear that he was against him.
Li Yue frowned slightly, "Du Yanwei, what are you doing?"
Du Yanwei raised his chin and said: "I see that he is determined to get this secret book, and I came here specifically to trouble him. Don't worry, no one in Wushuang Tower dares to do it!"
Although Li Yue was not very happy, he acquiesced in Du Yanwei's approach.
"Those four people who were beaten up by us in the restaurant unexpectedly met at the auction and got into a fight with us. We are really enemies of each other!"
Li Cheng blinked and said.
"Um."
Gu Yuan gave Du Yanwei a cold look and planned to continue bidding.
He can take this secret book or not. Since Du Yanwei wants it so much, he doesn't mind helping Du Yanwei.
"One hundred thousand taels!"
There was a sigh of relief in the audience. Unexpectedly, the price of an ordinary secret book was so high!
The voice fell.
Du Yanwei sneered and continued to raise the pole.
"One hundred and twenty thousand taels!"
"One hundred and thirty thousand taels!"
Gu Yuan followed without hesitation, decisively and fiercely.
"..."
Du Yanwei was a little confused. He didn't expect this guy to be so rich?
Besides, it would be useless for him to buy a wood-type secret book and bring it back!
"One hundred and forty thousand taels!"
Face is already on the line here, he must not lose.
Gu Yuan's face darkened, "One hundred and fifty thousand taels."
"Two hundred thousand taels!"
Du Yanwei cursed and said, "It's crazy to spend so much money on a broken secret book."
Li Yue felt something was wrong and twisted his eyebrows and said, "Xiaowei, you are impulsive. What if he doesn't want you anymore?"
Du Yanwei was stunned, "He doesn't want it anymore?
That's impossible, right?
I think he is determined to win?"
Looking again, Gu Yuanzheng calmly picked up the tea bowl on the round table and took a sip of fragrant tea.
The host asked with a smile: "The young man just bid 200,000 taels, is there anyone else who bids higher?"
As the host spoke, he looked at Gu Yuan expectantly.
But Gu Yuan only focused on drinking tea and did not answer any questions. A maid stood not far away. Seeing Gu Yuan drinking tea, she came over very considerately and gave him another cup.
Seeing Gu Yuan's indifferent expression, Du Yanwei suddenly broke out in sweat.
It's not that he couldn't afford the two hundred thousand taels of silver, but if he used it to buy a useless wood-attribute secret book, he would really feel bad.
The host asked: "That young man drinking tea over there, if you don't bid for this secret book, I will never be with you again."
Gu Yuan smiled faintly: "I didn't want to buy this secret book at first, but I just took pictures and played with it. Since this young master likes it, I will give it to him."
When the host saw this, he immediately said enthusiastically: "Two hundred thousand for the first time, two hundred thousand for the second time, two hundred thousand for the third time!"
"Okay, congratulations to this young man for successfully capturing the secret book."
"The transaction price is two hundred thousand taels of silver!"
Except for Gu Yuan and Du Yanwei, no one was interested in this secret book. They all felt that this secret book was of no use.
Soon a maid came over to guide Du Yanwei to pay the fee. Du Yanwei was so angry that his face changed color.
The next lot will be available immediately.
It's a whole bottle of high-end Qi-tonifying elixir.
Pills are hard currency, and as soon as the host took them out, they were immediately robbed.
When Du Yanwei was cursing and following the maid to pay, a figure flashed past the door.
If Du Yanwei had paid more attention, he would have discovered that this figure was the singing girl Xiaoyue who was bullied in the restaurant before.
It's a pity that Du Yanwei was already so angry that he took out the sound transmission jade tablet and complained to Liu Qingmu.
Liu Qingmu is a native of Dark Cloud City, and his family's manor is on the outskirts of Dark Cloud City.
Currently, the injured Liu Qingmu is being treated at home.
After receiving the news, Liu Qingmu was furious and immediately summoned his men to intercept Gu Yuan on the outskirts of the city.
After he finished his complaint, Du Yanwei put away the jade plaque and returned to the auction hall as if nothing had happened.
And all this was seen by Xiaoyue.
Du Yanwei lowered his voice, whispered a few words into the ears of Li Yue and Sui Qingyang, and left quietly.
In less than half a stick of incense, Du Yanwei happily returned to the auction hall and nodded at Li Yue and Sui Qingyang.
At this time, the three of them began to pay attention to the movements of Gu Yuan and the others, consciously or unconsciously.
On Gu Yuan's side, a beautiful maid came over to pour tea. She accidentally spilled the tea on Gu Yuan's sleeves and hurriedly helped Gu Yuan wipe them clean.
Gu Yuan didn't think much and continued to participate in the auction.
The little eagle smiled and told Gu Yuan that he had just won more than one million taels of silver in the martial arts arena on the second underground floor, so that Gu Yuan could rest assured.
Li Cheng also said that he still had more than 600,000 taels of silver on him.
On the field, the auction of the elixir has ended. Now the auction is a pair of boots, and the host is introducing it hard.
"As long as you put it on, you can have body movements similar to those of Chasing the Wind and Ghost Steps, and it doesn't consume any physical energy!"
"This is an excellent piece of equipment for escaping. It's worth buying a pair just to save your life."
The host spent a long time introducing this pair of boots and fully aroused everyone's enthusiasm.
"The starting price for these magic boots is one hundred thousand taels."
"I want one hundred thousand taels."
Someone immediately made a bid in the audience.
"Everyone, give me some face, I'll pay you 150,000 taels!"
A bearded man said.
"I've taken a fancy to it too, why should I give you face?
I want it too, I’ll pay 160,000!”
"I'll pay 165,000 taels!"
"One hundred and seventy thousand taels!"
When the price reached 200,000, no one stopped calling and the whole place fell silent.
Several monks who had been raising the price before also stopped.
From the previous auctions, I may have exhausted my pockets and didn’t have much money left.
The elders of several big families and the Nine Elements Sect did not participate. They were all waiting for the Zixiao Demon Lotus to come on stage.
Gu Yuan waited for a while and found that everyone's enthusiasm had dropped, so he took action decisively.
This pair of magic boots was bought just in time for spare use.
"Two hundred and one thousand taels!"
There was a sudden voice, and everyone looked over and found that it was Gu Yuan who had failed to compete with others for the secret book.
