In the first half of the auction, Hou Xinting and the little paper figures simply stole the show.
The funerary objects brought in the suitcase were all replaced with medicinal materials, jade, animal blood and bones and other natural and earthly treasures.
As the auction progressed and more and more lots were auctioned, Hou Xinting was excited. After feeling proud, he began to worry:
"With so many valuable treasures, can I bring them to Senior Gu safely?"
It’s a crime to possess a jade!
There were so many people at the venue, and they all saw him shouting prices wildly.
Everyone knows that he took good photos.
Tsk tsk, these treasures combined, it is no exaggeration to say that they are worth a fortune.
Hou Xinting is a country rat with no cultivation at all. He, he really can't protect him.
Even if there is a small paper figure, it looks quite violent and can knock away a Taoist man with one kick.
However, no matter how awesome the little paper man is, there is only one.
Besides, it is just a little paper figure after all.
Hou Xinting was worried that many people would covet the good things he took for Senior Gu.
Oh, by the way, there are also the Longhushan disciples I met in the lobby before.
They were beaten to the ground by the little paper figures in public, and their dignity was lost.
Even if they themselves do not dare to retaliate, their fellow disciples and the masters behind them probably will not give up.
Those who are motivated by wealth and revenge, if they attack in groups——
"Hou Xinting, why are you shaking? You're such an adult, can't you sit still?"
The little paper man sat on Hou Xinting's shoulder, feeling his shivering, and suddenly felt a little unhappy.
Hou Xinting glanced at the auction table and saw that the auction was still going on.
"This is Lot No. 23, a yellow-level high-level evil-repelling talisman. The starting price is two million, and the price will increase by two hundred thousand each time..."
Maybe he really took a picture of something good that people in Taoism value more, and the atmosphere at the venue became lively.
Hou Xinting looked around again and found that even the south building was participating in the bidding.
Very good, everyone is paying attention to the auction, so no one pays attention to him.
Hou Xinting lowered his voice and whispered to the little paper man, "Senior, I'm afraid!"
The little paper man curled his lips: "What are you afraid of? Isn't it me?"
Hou Xinting smiled bitterly, "Senior, you are indeed very powerful. However, greed is even more powerful!"
We really cannot underestimate the greed of people.
To put it bluntly, Hou Xinting was even on guard in the building next to him.
The little paper man became more and more disdainful, "Greed? Don't worry, I specialize in greed."
Hou Xinting: ...Sister-in-law, until you show off to the sky, but we have to take reality into account.
Hou Xinting's "whispering" with the little paper man attracted Lou Xiangnan's attention.
He was really interested in talismans and other things, and he called out the price several times.
But when the evil talisman soared to 10 million, he gave up.
High-level yellow-level talismans are indeed rare. If he had not met the ancestor, master, and disciple of Danxia Temple, Lou Xiangnan would definitely have won them.
But since meeting these people and seeing Chi Powang drawing talismans in the void with his own eyes, and Chi Qiaomu using a large number of yellow-level high-level talismans, Lou Xiangnan suddenly felt——
This yellow-level high-level talisman doesn't seem to be that valuable.
Lou Xiangnan has actively recruited Chi Qiaomu to join the emergency department, and the girl's entry procedures have been completed.
It's very difficult to find a talisman master like Chi Qiaomu. How can I still be short of talismans?
Rather than driving up prices here, it would be better to save the money and give it directly to Chi Qiaomu.
Even the price difference earned by the middleman (auction house) can be saved!
Chi Qiaomu:...Yes! Boss Lou Chulou, you are right.
As a "country bumpkin", Chi Qiaomu really didn't know the price of the talismans he drew.
The Extraordinary Affairs Office purchased each talisman from Chi Qiaomu at a price of five million, plus 100 contribution points. When Chi Qiaomu heard about it for the first time, he went crazy with joy.
Hahaha, five million, and that’s just “each piece”.
There are also 100 contribution points, which can be exchanged for heavenly materials and earthly treasures or magic weapons, spiritual weapons and other good things at the special treasure house.
Chi Qiaomu believes that with her hand speed, she can draw extremely hard and go bankrupt!
And her wish to practice Taoism can be fulfilled in the shortest time.
It can be said that the "transaction" between Lou Xiangnan and Chi Qiaomu both the buyer and the seller felt that they had benefited, and it was a complete win-win situation.
With Chi Qiaomu and the two big guys from Danxia Temple, Lou Xiangnan became increasingly disdainful of the talismans in the underground auction.
He no longer followed the price, but took the time to look around.
So, he saw Hou Xinting and the paper man biting his ears together.
"Hou, Hou Xinting?"
Probably because of this name, Lou Xiangnan really didn't pay much attention to a tomb robber.
I can remember the three words Hou Xinting because he is the "spokesperson" selected by Gu Qingcheng.
"The floor!"
Hou Xinting was immediately startled when he heard Lou Xiangnan's voice.
He subconsciously sat up straight, turned his head, and asked respectfully, "What are your orders?"
This is a very capable boss.
He has high cultivation and high prestige. Although he is young, he is definitely the number one person in Xuanmen in the Celestial Dynasty!
Previously, Hou Xinting was not even qualified to come to the building.
Now, he is actually sitting together with the famous Lou Chu. God knows how his ancestral tomb must be blown up to be so blessed.
"..." Lou Xiangnan couldn't help but feel a little funny when he saw Hou Xinting behaved like a primary school student in class.
"Relax, I just want to have a casual chat with you!"
Lou Xiangnan's attitude was gentle, but Hou Xinting did not dare to relax too much.
He still sat upright, with his hands on his knees, "You, you say!"
Lou Xiangnan: ...Forget it! Just let him have whatever attitude he wants.
Too lazy to persuade, Lou Xiangnan went straight to the topic, "Are you chatting with Senior Gu? Are you interested in this yellow-level talisman?"
It shouldn’t be!
As the third generation of Danxia Temple, Chi Qiaomu has the lowest cultivation level and can draw high-level yellow-level talismans.
Chi Powang and Gu Qingcheng, the master and apprentice, as the first generation and the second generation, will only be more awesome.
Would they still take such "low-level" talismans seriously?
"ah?"
Hou Xinting was stunned, what kind of yellow-level talisman?
Still a little paper man, he turned his head and said directly to Lou Xiangnan, "Who cares about the yellow-level talisman? This guy is scared upstairs."
Lou Xiangnan:......
This was his first time chatting with the paper man up close.
It's obviously just a paper doll, but for some reason, when I see it, the appearance of a beautiful loli comes to mind.
"I've met Senior Gu!"
Lou Xiangnan greeted the little paper man politely first, and then asked: "Afraid?"
What is Hou Xinting afraid of?
When this question came to Lou Xiangnan's mind, he guessed it almost in the next second, "Hou Xinting is worried that someone will 'seize the treasure'?"
Well, indeed!
Hou Xinting took so many great photos for Senior Gu. One thing may not be eye-catching, but when they are all added up, it is really exciting.
As for Hou Xinting, he was just an errand boy and had no cultivation at all.
It's completely normal for him to be scared.
"Senior, please rest assured, Lou is willing to——"
Before Lou Xiangnan could finish speaking, the little paper man waved his hand, "No need to trouble Lou!"
"Since my aunt dares to let Hou Xinting come to the auction, she will naturally have a way to protect her."
Hou Xinting's heart was ups and downs.
When I heard Lou Xiangnan's words just now, I just wanted to breathe a sigh of relief: Hey, with the special office escorting me, I will be safe and sound.
As a result, before he could feel relieved for too long, he heard the rejection from the little paper man.
Hou Xinting wanted to kneel down to the little paper man: Ancestor! My aunt! I know you are great, but wouldn’t it be nice to have one more helper? Why do you have to refuse?
As if he could understand Hou Xinting's thoughts, the little paper man glanced at him and said lightly, "I don't want to owe anyone a favor for nothing!"
"Master said that practitioners are most taboo about the word 'cause and effect'."
"What I can do by myself, I can't do it by others."
What the little paper man said was full of arrogance.
Lou Xiangnan raised his eyebrows. He was indeed Senior Gu's puppet. His words and actions were exactly the same as his own.
It's strange to say that everyone obviously had direct contact in the underground palace before.
But there, Lou Xiangnan didn't have much impression of Gu Qingcheng.
Nowadays, Lou Xiangnan didn't even see the real person through a small paper figure, but he felt more and more deeply that the image of a violent lolita was extremely profound.
"Senior Gu's breath-containing technique is really powerful!"
Lou Xiangnan was sincerely amazed by Gu Qingcheng's high level of cultivation.
Inexplicably, Lou Xiangnan, as the official boss of Xuanmen, had the idea for the first time: Come on, let's bring in a few more unsighted people to cause trouble for Hou Xinting.
He didn't want to watch the excitement, but wanted to see with his own eyes how high Gu Qingcheng's cultivation level had reached.
Thousands of miles away, how will Gu Qingcheng, who is far away in Danxia Temple, protect her little follower and so many treasures?
Fortunately, Hou Xinting didn't know what Lou Xiangnan was thinking, otherwise, his filter and admiration for the first person in Xuanmen would definitely be shattered.
The second half of the auction was basically filled with "high-end goods" such as talismans, magic weapons, and even damaged spiritual weapons.
Those who are true practitioners of Xuanmen come here for these auction items.
Therefore, the second half of the auction was particularly intense.
While the guests were shouting prices wildly, they also had a hint of curiosity:
Huh? Why didn’t the big (big) owner (head) who was wronged just now and used his magical weapon in exchange for medicinal materials stop bidding?
"There's no money left!"
"It's probably my first time coming to this kind of auction. I didn't know that all the good stuff is behind it!"
"Haha, that's right! You're a country rat, how can you have any knowledge?"
Some people are confused, some are ridiculing, and some are gloating.
Of course, more often than not, some people are born with greed.
As well as the disciples from Longhu Mountain, they have already contacted their respective teachers, brothers and sisters.
They just waited for the auction to end and Hou Xinting, that bastard, to complete the settlement with the auction house, before they took action.
…
Two hours later, after the experts completed the appraisal, the auction completed the delivery with Hou Xinting.
A big bag of burial objects was replaced by a big bag of treasures.
Only then did Hou Xinting see the original appearance of the "suitcase", which was actually just a piece of black cloth!
What a powerful "eye-catching trick", even his powerful master couldn't see through it.
Lou Xiangnan became more and more curious about what was going to happen next...
