"The following is the last item in this auction, a Kaimai Pill with 75% medicinal properties."
The auction came to an end, and a maid brought up an exquisite wooden box. In the wooden box, there lay a round and plump dark pill. When the auctioneer introduced it, it was a pulse-opening pill with 75% medicinal properties. His eyes became hot.
Kaimai Pills are second-grade pills that help martial arts cultivators in the Kaimai realm to open up the meridians in the body. The medicinal properties are above 73%, which is considered first-class.
Since the effect is most significant after the first dose, it will be greatly reduced after the second dose. Therefore, the higher the potency when taking the drug for the first time, the better.
75%, which is only one step away from the theoretical limit of 76%, and has almost reached the actual upper limit.
However, when the auctioneer announced the starting price of a hundred yuan for a first-grade spiritual stone, it was like a bucket of cold water poured on the head, extinguishing the heat in the eyes of most people.
One hundred first-grade spiritual stones, even for a medium-sized family in Wuyi, is a large expense that must be taken with caution.
The key is, this is just the starting price!
"One hundred and twenty yuan for first-grade spiritual stones." There was a slight silence. Gu Changning changed his previous style of chasing Ma Sen to raise the price. This time, he raised the sign first and raised the price by twenty yuan for first-grade spiritual stones.
Just as the voice fell, Ma Sen held up a sign: "One hundred and thirty first-grade spiritual stones."
Normally, Gu Changning would definitely prefer to have dinner in the city before going back, but a single pulse-opening pill almost wiped out all the spiritual stones on his body, leaving only a few pitiful first-grade and ordinary-grade spiritual stones.
"One hundred and eighty pieces of first-grade spiritual stone."
Two hundred pieces of first-grade spiritual stones were Gu Changning's last ditch effort. He had already backed down, but after being so provoked and becoming the center of attention, he suddenly felt that he could no longer hold his nerve.
"One hundred and forty first-grade spiritual stones"
So, he euphemistically suggested: "There are many people in the auction house, and who knows if there are thieves hiding in there. If you are not afraid of 10,000 yuan, just be afraid of the worst. Otherwise, you should go back early."
Gu Changning's face turned gloomy and he retorted: "Who can compare to you if you want to be a prodigal? You can spend hundreds of first-grade spiritual stones on buying a bunch of junk."
The auction ended, and the transactions of four more lots were completed. It was half dark when Gu Changning and the five of them left the auction house.
Gu Changning and Qin Qianqian looked unhappy, while Shi Yurou frowned slightly.
Qin Qianqian and the four chatted, Qin Qianqian and Qin Feng were the most enthusiastic, Gu Changning talked a lot, Shi Yurou mainly listened, occasionally adding a few words, and Lin Ansheng closed his eyes to rest.
"One hundred and ninety dollars."
Seeing Shi Yurou and Qin Qianqian nodding one after another, Qin Feng had no objection. After asking about the fare, he took out four pieces of ordinary spiritual stones and paid them to the driver.
"You are not allowed to make loud noises in the auction house, you are not allowed to threaten others with words, and you are not allowed to use force. Everyone, please abide by the rules, otherwise you will be included in the unwelcome list."
Ignoring the frowning Gu Changning and the disgusted looks from Qin Qianqian's sister and brother, Lin An followed him thickly, but did not occupy the seats on either side. He sat down on the floor and leaned against the car door with his legs curled up.
Lin Ansheng shook his head incomprehensibly, turned around and closed the wooden door. At the same time, avoiding the four people, he took out a purple leaf from the storage bag hidden at his waist and stuffed it into his mouth.
"Maybe I have been in the kitchen for a long time and am a little sensitive to smells." Lin Ansheng explained vaguely, and opened the wooden door half way with his backhand, letting in the cool night breeze outside.
Six people can sit on the left and right sides of the carriage. Of course, it will be more spacious for four people.
The speed of the carriage is not much faster than walking. It just saves some leg strength. The carriage must be newly built and exudes a light woody fragrance. There are soft pads under the buttocks and cushions behind the back. It is very comfortable to sit on. It is bumpy and bumpy along the way.
, it is easy for people to forget the time.
A sharp look flashed in Gu Changning's eyes, and he was about to retort when the auctioneer issued a warning in time, stopping a possible conflict.
After half a cup of tea, Gu Changning finally noticed something was wrong and shouted loudly: "Stop the car!"
Just as he was debating whether to go back to the sect directly or have dinner in the city before going back, a slowly approaching carriage stopped in front of him.
Shi Yurou hesitated for a moment and handed over a cushion. Lin Ansheng said thank you without being pretentious.
"Two hundred and twenty yuan for a first-grade spiritual stone." Ma Sen gritted his teeth and raised the price by twenty yuan. Then he sneered and shouted: "This is my last bid. If anyone wants to add more, I will give up.
"
Qin Qianqian and the other four looked at him in surprise. Qin Feng sniffed: "Isn't it just the fragrance of wood?"
Ma Sen was very "trustworthy" and stopped bidding. He sneered, his face full of joking, giving the impression that Gu Changning had fallen into the hole he dug. In fact, he was very unwilling to do so. It was not that he didn't want to.
He doesn't want to fight, but the spiritual stone he carries doesn't allow him to fight anymore.
After an unknown amount of time, Lin Ansheng opened his eyes, raised his brows slightly, covered his mouth and nose and said, "Did you smell a fragrance?"
"A mine in the Gu family only produces 500 pieces of first-grade spiritual stones a year, and a small Kaimai Pill costs half of it. Tsk, tsk, this speed of ruining the fortune, I'm willing to give in to."
The four of them, Gu Changning, continued to chat, while Lin Ansheng continued to close his eyes and relax, actually entering a meditative state.
Mason paused and called out the price again: "One hundred and seventy yuan for a first-grade spiritual stone."
"One hundred and sixty first-grade spiritual stones."
As soon as these words came out, everyone's attention suddenly shifted and focused on Gu Changning.
Gu Changning refused to give in. He had been in the Kaimai Realm for a while and had already opened two meridians in his body. Taking this highly medicinal Kaimai Pill, before the sect's general election, he was expected to hit the middle-grade Kaimai Pill. Therefore,
Determined to win.
"Two hundred pieces of first-grade spiritual stones."
Qin Feng's robe sleeves were blown up and he said unhappily: "You're sick, close the door. If you feel hot, get out of the car and cool down."
After struggling internally for a moment, Gu Changning raised the sign again: "Two hundred and twenty-five pieces of first-grade spiritual stone."
Several well-known restaurants in the city order at least seven or eight first-grade spiritual stones for a table. What do they ask him to pay for? Pointing to others to pay, as the earliest senior brother among them, where does he put his face?
Of course, he wouldn't know that Gu Changning was actually at the edge of despair.
Ma Sen said disdainfully: "I only want to show off my words. If you dare, let's do it. Whoever loses will give you what you got today and call him grandpa again. Do you dare?"
The price was quickly raised by the two of them, which also made the few people present who were ready to make a move lose their mind.
The driver was a simple-looking man who took the initiative to ask if he wanted to take the bus.
This is the first time in today's auction that the price of two hundred first-grade spiritual stones has reached an integer, and the audience was filled with exclamations of surprise.
"One hundred and fifty dollars"
Gu Changning and the other two also took a sniff and found nothing strange.
Seeing that he was quite sensible, Gu Changning's brows widened, and Qin Qianqian and Qin Feng did not make cold remarks to each other.
The driver made a sound and asked, "Sir, what are your orders?"
Gu Changning didn't answer. He stood up suddenly, his blood rushed up. The dizziness in his head suddenly intensified, and he almost fell back. This strengthened his judgment in his heart. He shook his head vigorously and said in a low voice: "It's Mi Xiang."
!”
At the end of the sentence, he turned around and struck out with his palm. With a "bang" sound, half of the wooden boards in the carriage shattered.
