"...The scapegoat puppet comes from an ancient ruins and possesses mysterious power. After dripping blood to identify its owner, it can protect its owner from certain death at a critical moment, which is equivalent to saving one more life. This object has been identified by the Treasure Pavilion and is limited.
It is available to monks below Nascent Soul, it is an extremely rare and strange treasure, please don’t miss it.”
"The starting price is 300,000 spirit stones, let the bidding begin!"
Luo Guan looked at the auction table. The surrogate puppet was stored in a completely transparent crystal coffin. The crystal coffin was about the size of a palm. It had countless runes engraved on its surface and revealed a strange aura.
Judging from the surface alone, the scapegoat puppet is nothing more than a crudely made wooden figure with obvious marks of chipping and carving on the surface.
But when you look at its face, you can actually feel a trace of panic - this is the emotion coming from the stand-in puppet, as if the puppet itself is a living person sealed here!
"Three hundred and fifty thousand spiritual stones."
"Three hundred and eighty thousand!"
"Four hundred thousand!"
The bidding was extremely fierce, and the price of the puppet continued to rise.
Soon, it exceeded one million spirit stones.
The ordinary monks fell silent one after another, and those who continued to compete were the guests in the VIP boxes. For them with respected status and rich wealth, a scapegoat puppet that could withstand a death disaster was definitely not to be missed.
However, after the price exceeded one million spirit stones, they became very cautious in bidding. After all, this puppet had usage restrictions, otherwise its value would have been at least several times higher.
"One million and three hundred thousand!"
This price is close to that of the golden sword, which is extremely astonishing.
The audience fell silent, and the other box bidding against fell silent, apparently acquiescing and giving up bidding.
"Congratulations to Senior Brother Li Qing!"
"One million and three hundred thousand spirit stones. When Miss Ji receives this gift, she will definitely realize that senior brother sincerely accepts this marriage."
"Wan Jinbo's beauty smiles, senior brother is really a romantic figure!"
In the box, a group of young people smiled and spoke, with a bit of envy in their eyes.
Lin Fangfang sat in the corner, biting her lips slightly, her face showing loneliness and unwillingness.
In this box are the same people who had a conflict with Luo Guan in the Zhenbao Pavilion yesterday.
Li Qing smiled slightly and said, "The bidding has not ended yet, so congratulations from fellow junior brothers and sisters are a little too early."
"The people in Box 6 have given up, who else..."
"One hundred and thirty-one million."
Ga——
There was a sudden silence in the box, and the young monk who had finished speaking quickly picked up a cup of tea and pretended that nothing had happened.
The others' expressions were a bit strange, and they secretly thought that Senior Brother Li was probably too open-minded, and what he said was so accurate.
A gloomy look flashed in Li Qing's eyes, but he soon returned to calm and said calmly, "One million and four hundred thousand!"
The voice was not loud, but with the blessing of cultivation, it spread clearly throughout the auction house.
"One hundred and four hundred thousand."
The other party then made a bid and added one more Wanling Stone.
"1500000!"
"One million and a half million."
In the auction house, many monks expressed sighs, although this death puppet is extremely magical and can replace the monks in experiencing death.
It can only be used for Nascent Soul and below, so it becomes useless.
Anyone who can produce so many spiritual stones will basically not need this item. If you want to buy it for juniors to protect themselves, there are better choices at this price.
Seeing that the dust has settled, the bidding has caused waves again, which can only make people sigh, the big dog is really rich.
The Li family is indeed a large family. Li Qing, who was born in the direct line of the family, showed his talents after joining the sect and was highly regarded by his teachers. This time he went to Yunhai Continent not only for the opportunity, but also to confirm his marriage with the Ji family.
Strictly speaking, it is not appropriate to buy a surrogate puppet and give it to the Miss Ji family, but at this moment, it is perfect.
Unexpectedly, just as he was about to succeed, someone interfered.
Li Qing's face was gloomy and he sneered, "Two million spiritual stones! Fellow Taoist, if you can bid a higher price, I will give this thing to you."
Seeing that his opponent was struggling, he flipped the table.
There were bursts of exclamations, and countless eyes gathered, obviously completely shocked by this generous gesture.
"Two million and one million."
But unfortunately, this offer that shocked everyone did not last long, and was shattered by a calm voice. It was still the slightly hoarse low voice, calm and indifferent, as if the offer was just a number to him.
.
The tea cup in Li Qing's hand shattered with a "pop". He wiped his palms expressionlessly and said calmly, "Go and check who is across the way."
The guard at the door turned around and went out.
On the other side, Xu Songzi's eyes widened, so that the little girl's expression was both strange and cute. She stared at Luo Guan, feeling that she was going to faint in the next moment.
Yesterday, Luo Guan paid 200,000 spiritual stones, and Xu Songzi tossed and turned and stayed up almost all night.
And this is one of the reasons why she came to the auction.
But who would have known that for a scapegoat puppet, Luo Guan did not blink an eye and threw out 2.01 million spiritual stones.
Who is Brother Luo? At this moment, Luo Guan's figure became even more mysterious in Yu Songzi's mind.
The little girl suddenly thought that with Brother Luo's cultivation, he would definitely not be able to use this scapegoat puppet. After all, the Beast Taoist was directly crushed on Starfish Island.
Although Yu Songzi didn't say it, he also guessed in his mind that Brother Luo looked young, but he must be a Yuanying state with good appearance.
Then this thing was bought as a gift... uh, could it be for me? Brother Luo... is he attracted to me?
Yu Songzi's heart was beating wildly, but he quickly calmed down and denied it.
This conjecture.
Because although Luo Guan was very concerned about her, his eyes never showed the slightest emotion between men and women.
Just then there was a knock on the door. After receiving permission, Xiao Fang respectfully opened the door and stepped aside.
Huang Yanbo entered the box and held his hands with a smile on his face, "Mr. Luo, thank you for joining me today. Please keep this token. You can use it to withdraw the bidding items after the auction ends."
He became more and more convinced that the person in front of him was anything but ordinary.
Although he only has foundation building skills, he must have a very high status in his background, otherwise he would never be qualified to use such a large amount of spiritual stones.
It's a good move to make good friends with him. As a second-level manager, if he wants to go further, he needs the support of connections.
In addition, although the scapegoat puppet is precious, its real value is only about one million spiritual stones. Now it has been sold for a sky-high price of two million, which makes Huang Yanbo naturally happy.
"Thank you, Daoist Huang." After confirming that the Zhenbao Pavilion was a huge, hidden behemoth, Luo Guan's smile became a little brighter.
At least being on good terms with Huang Yanbo would not do him any harm at the moment, but he might actually need help from him in the future.
The token he got was not much different from the one in Yu Songzi's hand, but the pattern and numbers on it were different.
Huang Yanbo noticed Luo Guan's closeness and smiled even more heartily, "In the next auction, some interesting things will be sold. The value may not be high, but the things are very rare. If Luo Daoyou likes them, you might as well buy a few."
indivual."
As he spoke, he looked at Yu Songzi and said, "Miss Yu, the gift I give you is the first lot. After the bidding is over, someone will take you there with a token."
He didn't go into too much detail. He said a few words to Luo Guan before saying goodbye and leaving.
When the door closed, Yu Songzi looked a little uneasy and said, "Brother Luo, is this gift too expensive? Shouldn't I accept it?"
Luo Guan smiled and said, "He gave it to us on his own initiative. We didn't ask for it. Just accept it." With Huang Yanbo's understanding of people, he would not do anything inappropriate.
Soon, the auction will continue.
On the auction stage, a young auctioneer was replaced, and he smiled and said, "Dear guests, after many fierce competitions, let's relax a little. Next, we will start the auction of some rare objects collected by Zhenbao Pavilion. Although their value is not high,
It’s too high, but it’s also quite mysterious.”
He clapped his hands and said, "The first auction item."
A piece of jade was pushed up. It was about ten feet in size, pure white in color, and had numerous dancing figures of beauties engraved on its surface.
"Beauty Jade, a special treasure with special power and uncertain origin, can be activated once every hundred years. Each time, it can give ten women the beauty-preserving effect. From then on, they will remain youthful and eternally beautiful."
As soon as these words came out, the eyes of countless women in the audience suddenly brightened.
The enthusiasm is shocking.
auction The master continued, "In this auction, because the owner of the jade has donated a beauty spot in advance, there are only nine spots left. The starting price for each spot is 10,000 spiritual stones. Please bid."
In the box, Luo Guan smiled slightly. This gift from Huang Yanbo was really exquisite. Judging from Yu Songzi's expression, she could not refuse it at all.
Tsk tsk, the vastness of this world is indeed countless wonders. If you don’t see something like beauty jade with your own eyes, it’s really unimaginable.
When a group of females were bidding outside, Luo Guan put away the jade token in his hand and said in his mind, "Teacher, what is the purpose of this surrogate puppet?"
There must be a reason why the Black Turtle asked him to buy it. Luo Guan completely believed in its judgment, so he only asked after he got it.
Black Turtle's voice sounded, "Boy, although you now have the Dragon Marrow Pill and are not short of cultivation resources, you don't think that you can achieve the Golden Pill with this, right? Hum! Don't forget that when you were in the martial arts realm,
, the hardships experienced by breaking through.”
"The golden elixir realm is the true path to immortality, the beginning of the monk's road, involving soul transformation, awakening, and re-recognition of the world. The difficulty of breaking through the realm varies from person to person, and there is also the fall of heavenly tribulation as a test... Between you and the shameless man
Relationship, do you think He will stand by and watch you make great progress and have an unobstructed path on the path of cultivation that goes against heaven?"
Luo Guan's heart sank. Although he had expected this, he still felt extremely depressed when Xuan Gui mentioned it.
After a few breaths of silence, he said, "So, teacher, you bought this puppet to prepare for your disciple's breakthrough to the golden elixir? Is it really effective?"
Although the scapegoat puppet is magical, it may not be useful when facing a shameless person.
"Ordinary scapegoat puppets will not work, but the one you took is not ordinary... You will know the details later, so don't feel bad about the spirit stone. Because this scapegoat puppet can really stand in the way for you in the future.
The next calamity is certain death."
Luo Guan said solemnly, "Thank you, teacher!" Without Xuan Gui's advice, he would not have realized the importance of this substitute puppet.
After thinking about it for a while, he said, "Then next, disciple, should we collect the items to break through the realm and overcome the tribulation as soon as possible?"
Xuangui said, "Well, it's time to prepare in advance... Master and disciple, you and me, have had many battles with that guy. No matter how much we prepare, it will never be redundant."
The master and apprentice communicated for a while, and when Luo Guan retreated from his mind, the fight outside finally came to an end.
The nine quotas for using the beauty jade were all bid for at a price of almost 100,000 spirit stones.
Xiao Fang knocked on the door and came in. He said respectfully, "Miss Yu, all preparations have been made. Please come with me and use the beauty jade."
Yu Songzi stood up suddenly, hesitating again, and turned to look at Luo Guan.
He thought for a moment and realized that it was what happened yesterday that still made her feel uneasy, so he stood up directly and said, "Let's go, I'll go with you."
