"Twelve thousand five hundred and the third time!"
Snapped!
"make a deal!"
As the auction hammer in the old woman's hand fell for the third time, Meng Po Tang was photographed by a guest in Private Room No. 1 on the fifth floor.
This price shocked everyone in the audience, including Niu Dawa and Zhang Xiaozu.
"I'll go find Miss Dong and ask her to help us sell a few more bowls." Niu Dawa was so happy that she could hardly close her mouth and went to find Miss Dong immediately.
Zhang Xiaozu stretched out his hand to stop him and said: "Meng Po Soup is limited, and we don't have any shortage of Star Pills for the time being, so why not keep it first. They are fighting for it so fiercely, which shows that Meng Po Soup is of great use. We can ask about it.
See if you can use it yourself."
"Well, you're right." Niu Dawa immediately gave up the idea.
The Star Pill was quickly sent over.
The auction house drew five out of one hundred and took away the auction fee of six hundred and twenty-five. Niu Dawa was so distressed that he cursed for a while.
The lights in the auction house came back on and the auction continued until midnight.
But it is only temporarily over. It will continue at 12 noon tomorrow. This grand auction will last for three days.
The news about the Library Pavilion was not sent to the auction today. It is probably regarded as the final auction item and left to the last day.
Zhang Xiaozhu and Niu Dawa took pictures of three top-quality casting materials according to the list given by Miss Dong.
Liu Dongyao seemed to have a grudge against them for taking the jade pendant. He bid with them every time, causing them to spend a lot more on the Star Pill.
The two of them remembered Liu Dongyao's face in their hearts and thought that if they met this guy outside, they would give him a good beating.
The two returned to Miss Dong's house and waited in the living room for half an hour. When they saw that Miss Dong had not returned, they went back to their respective rooms.
Miss Dong came back from outside at breakfast time the next day.
She first finished breakfast with Zhang Xiaozhu and Niu Dawa, then retired, took off the jade pendant from her neck, put it on the table and pushed it in front of Zhang Xiaozhu.
Zhang Xiaozu reached out and picked up the jade pendant.
The jade pendant was warm in the hand, with a faint fragrance, which made Zhang Xiaozhu's movements slightly stiff. He realized that this was something that Miss Dong wore personally every day. It seemed a little inappropriate to just hold it in his hand, but it would be unavoidable to put it back.
It was even more embarrassing, so I had to pretend not to know and observe.
"Sure enough, they are exactly the same." He took it in his hand and observed it, then put the jade pendant back on the table, looked at Miss Dong and said, "Please ask Miss Dong to clarify my doubts."
Miss Dong took the jade pendant, put it back on her neck, and said: "There should be five such jade pendants in total. The slave family has been looking for them for more than 160 years, but they have never found them, not even a little clue.
That’s why I was so embarrassed when I saw your jade pendant last time."
Zhang Xiaozhu and Niu Dawa were shocked when they heard this, and were frightened by Miss Dong's "more than one hundred and sixty years".
Before the two of them could ask questions, Miss Dong continued: "This is actually not a jade pendant, but the key to an ancient formation. If you can collect five keys, you may be able to open that ancient formation."
"According to more than a hundred years of research by the Nu family, it should be a teleportation array, and the ruins where the array is located contain many traces of ancient gods, so the Nu family speculates whether the teleportation array can lead to the gods.
place."
"The slave family wants to go find out and see where the ancient gods have gone."
"However, the slave family's mood has gradually faded in recent years. It is not only because they are frustrated that they have not found all five keys, but also because they are getting older and have lost the momentum of their youth. They want to be content with the status quo and enjoy the life in front of them."
"If anyone says you are old, there must be something wrong with your eyes." Niu Dawa said.
Miss Dong smiled and shook her head, sighing: "You are talking about appearance age, and Nujia is talking about psychological age. Although the years have not left traces on Nujia's skin, they have left no trace on Nujia's heart."
Zhang Xiaozu said: "In other words, if you know the other two keys, you can open the ancient formation."
Miss Dong nodded and said: "That's right. The Nu family went to find the seller last night. He had promised to take the Nu family to the ruins where he got the key. The Nu family was going to see if they could find any clues about the other two keys. Originally, they planned to call
I went with you two, but I knew you wouldn’t have time, so I didn’t invite you.”
Zhang Xiaozu nodded, they must return to Dasu as soon as possible to deal with the war launched by the Shen family against Dasu.
"The slave family would like to know where the young master got this key from?" Miss Dong looked at Zhang Xiaozu and asked.
"This was given to me by a senior. I don't know where he got it. I'll ask in detail when I go back." Zhang Xiaozu replied.
The blind uncle who gave him the jade pendant has passed away, but Master Tianwu Taoist and the blind uncle were close friends, and he felt that the master should know the origin of the jade pendant.
Miss Dong nodded and said: "After the slave family has finished exploring the ruins, they will go to Dasu to find you."
Zhang Xiaozhu and Niu Dawa were not in the mood to explore the ruins for the time being, and they were not sure when they would find the other two keys, so they did not inquire more about the ancient formation that Miss Dong mentioned.
"Why is Meng Po Soup so intensely photographed?" Niu Dawa asked, changing the subject.
He is more interested in this issue than the ancient formation.
"The reason has already been told by the witch." Miss Dong responded.
"Did you say it?" Niu Dawa asked doubtfully.
Zhang Xiaozu quickly recalled what the old woman said on the auction stage, and then asked in surprise: "Just to tame the big demon?"
Miss Dong nodded and said: "There are powerful ancient ferocious beasts in many ancient ruins. These ancient ferocious beasts are very powerful. They guard the ruins and do not allow cultivators to approach. Some of them are so powerful that even the ancestors of the Holy Realm do not dare to touch them.
angry.
If one could tame such a ferocious beast, more than 10,000 star elixir flowers would be absolutely worth it, because while taming the ferocious beast, one could also obtain the treasures in the ruins it guards.
Take the library as an example.
It is said that every floor of the Library Pavilion is guarded by ancient ferocious beasts. If the ancient ferocious beasts on a certain floor can be tamed, then all the martial arts secrets for the entire floor can be collected.
"Demon Town Museum"
If you can exchange a bowl of Meng Po Soup for such a huge gain, then more than 10,000 Star Pills are really nothing.
certainly…"
Her tone suddenly dropped, she looked at Niu Dawa and said, "It could also be used to tame people, as you said."
"I really want to give each of the Shen family ancestors a bowl." Niu Dawa gritted his teeth and said bitterly.
Zhang Xiaozu also had the same idea.
"Do you have many more?" Miss Dong asked tentatively.
"I only have a little left, and I don't plan to sell it anymore," Zhang Xiaozu replied.
Miss Dong smiled and didn't ask any more questions.
In fact, recalling her conversation with Niu Dawa last night, she had some idea that Zhang Xiaozhu and Niu Dawa should still have a lot of Meng Po soup.
"What kind of extraordinary person is the ancestor and president of your auction house? How can they identify the authenticity of Meng Po Soup? Could it be that they have seen Meng Po Soup?" Niu Dawa asked curiously.
Miss Dong said: "These two adults are ancestor-level figures. They have always seen the beginning but not the end of the dragon. The slave family knows very little about them. The slave family has been working in the Jiuzhou Auction House for almost a hundred years, and they have never seen them before.
