Chapter Seventy-Three: The Scramble
"It seems that the glazed fairy skirt suddenly appeared just now, just to release the news of the birth of the Qingshen Ruins, and this Ten Thousand Spirits Chamber of Commerce is really good at doing business."
Several objects after the glazed fairy skirt, although they are also from the Qingshen ruins, but the quality and other aspects are obviously not as good as the glazed fairy skirt, the competition is not so fierce, and the temperature brought by the glazed fairy skirt has gradually faded.
However, Xiao Yue on the stage did not panic, after all, the real purpose of this auction was just as Su Changnian thought, that is, to release the news of the birth of the Qingshen Ruins, and she was already very satisfied with everyone's reaction just now.
"Next up is the last lot of this auction - Black Flame Grass."
At this time, two men came up carrying something, only to see the two put it down, and then the black cloth covering it was taken off, and suddenly, a heat wave swept the entire auction room.
Su Changnian waved his hand casually, and an invisible spiritual power shield covered their box, and the high temperature failed to invade.
"I believe everyone has already felt the terrifying temperature of the Black Flame Grass, although our Ten Thousand Spirits Chamber of Commerce has sealed the box with Ten Thousand Years of Ice, but it still can't completely cover its high temperature."
She began to introduce the Black Flame Grass, but not many people in the audience listened to what she was saying, as they had already researched the information about the Black Flame Grass beforehand.
Just like its name, it is a very strange spirit grass, the shape is ordinary grass, but it is full of black flames, and it is said that this black flame can burn everything and burn everything to the fullest, but despite the horror, there are still people who can make the best use of it in ancient times.
Although its black flame is indeed terrifying, but it is the power of mature black flame grass, and the black flame of seedlings is not so terrifying, some people will use its fire to refine the body, and some people will use it to refine medicine, because its black flame can also reduce the impurities produced in the process of refining, so that the quality of the elixir is often higher. But because the mature Black Flame Grass is too strong, few people can do anything with it, because it is too difficult to control.
However, the black flame grass in front of them, everyone could not tell whether it had matured or not, after all, the black flame grass had been extinct for a long time, and it was really difficult to make a conclusion.
"The starting price of this Black Flame Grass is five million spirit stones, and each increase must not be less than two hundred thousand spirit stones."
At this time, everyone did not choose to make a move, and they were all hesitating in their hearts, although the Black Flame Grass was very precious, but five million spirit stones were not a small amount, if they could be used, it would be fine, but if they didn't use it, they would really smash it in their hands.
As if seeing the reason why everyone hesitated to make a move, Xiao Yue added: "You can rest assured, we have already found someone to identify it, and our Ten Thousand Souls Chamber of Commerce can assure you that this Black Flame Grass is not yet ripe." ”
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere began to be restless, after all, this is the guarantee of the Wanling Chamber of Commerce, and there will be no mistakes.
"Six million!"
Someone had already taken the lead, but then someone followed.
"Six million four hundred thousand!"
"Six million six hundred thousand!"
“......”
Looking at the rising prices, Liuyun, who was originally calm and relaxed, couldn't help but have anger on his face.
"Didn't you say that this black flame grass is mature? How did it become immature again now? ”
Obviously, this is not the same as the information they were given.
"I don't know this, I also heard from them."
Looking at the approaching Liuyun, Jiang Qianmu was suddenly sweating profusely, and he couldn't help but scold the person who gave him the wrong information in his heart, but now the more important thing was how to calm Liuyun's anger.
"Don't be angry yet, let me think about it."
Hu San's hand was in front of Liuyun, so Jiang Qianmu was not beaten.
However, Liuyun also listened to Hu San's words, and really did not continue to persecute Jiang Qianmu, and waited quietly. Jiang Qianmu suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and a feeling of the rest of his life after the catastrophe enveloped his heart.
At this time, Hu San's eyes were staring at the black flame grass, as if he wanted to see through it. And it didn't take long for him to see his eyes move slightly, a smile on his face, and he said randomly.
"I know, this Ten Thousand Souls Chamber of Commerce is really interesting, and it even said that it is not completely mature."
Hearing his explanation, the two suddenly realized, but Liuyun immediately thought of something and suddenly began to scold.
"Damn, these damn profiteers, my mother will expose them."
"No."
"Why?"
He didn't understand why Hu San stopped her from doing this, so he asked.
"Exposing them now will only turn them against us, and it may affect our plans when the time comes." Hu San explained.
"Okay then."
Hearing that the plan might be disrupted, Liuyun's momentum immediately dissipated, and in the end, he still didn't expose them.
——————
"Tut-tut, it seems that this Ten Thousand Souls Chamber of Commerce is not a good product."
Looking at the bidders below who were competing to bid, Su Changnian couldn't help laughing.
"Lord Wang, why do you say that?" Xiaohuan couldn't help but ask curiously, and Su Changnian also told her the reason, and after listening, she couldn't help but open her mouth wide in shock.
"This, this, this is too bad." Xiaohuan couldn't believe that the Wanling Chamber of Commerce was planning to trick people like this. They actually planned to sell the immature Black Flame Grass at the price of seedlings, even if the buyer found out later, they couldn't say anything, because after all, the Black Flame Grass at that time was indeed in an immature state, and even if they said it, others would say that they blamed themselves for not keeping it properly, after all, there are still people who have seen real Black Flame Grass seedlings now.
"It's just a little trick of the merchant, now that we know it, let's not join in the fun."
He had no intention of exposing the deception, after all, he was also a representative of Canglan Country on the surface, and there was no need to make enemies with them. So he sat on the chair like this, supporting Jiang Chaoyang's body with one hand, playing with her hair with the other, and turning a deaf ear to the noise below.
"Ten million!"
Finally, the asking price exceeded 10 million, and the person who gave this price to the person in the No. 4 box on the second floor, at this time he had already stood up and stared down with a smile.
"Yo, isn't this Xuanqing's little brother, did you know that my sister came to participate in the auction and came to play with my sister?"
An emotional female voice came from across from him, and after hearing this voice, the young man named Xuanqing's face suddenly became a little unnatural, but he soon returned to normal.
He looked across and saw a woman in a purple power suit walk out, and by the way, she threw a wink at him. Xuanqing was suddenly a little unsettled.
"Hmph, Ziyue, you stinky vixen, you're harassing Brother Xuanqing again, see if I don't clean you up!"
A figure suddenly rushed out from behind Xuanqing, and before anyone could see it clearly, something flew out of her hand and went straight to Ziyue.
"Smack."
Only a crisp cracking sound was heard, and then there was a mess of teacup crumbs at Ziyue's feet.
"Hey, that's a pity." Apparently she was happy with the result.
"What is Sister Xiaotan doing so irritable, my sister is just helping you test him to see if he can withstand the temptation."
Although Qu Xiaotan took advantage of her unpreparedness to sneak attack her, she showed no signs of anger, but instead stimulated Qu Xiaotan with words.
"You!"
Obviously, she couldn't stand the stimulation of Ziyue and was about to strike again.
"Three, now is the auction site of our Wanling Chamber of Commerce, please pay attention to your identity and be more respectful." At this time, Xiaoyue reminded with words.
"Forget Sister Xiaotan, there's no need to worry about her."
Hearing Xuanqing's dissuasion, she had no choice but to stop, but she was obviously very unhappy and sat back angrily. Ziyue saw Qu Xiaotan's unhappy appearance, but she was extremely happy, and after stretching her waist, she went back satisfied.
Seeing that both of them had returned to their respective positions, Xuanqing also breathed a sigh of relief, and after bowing slightly towards Xiao Yue, he also returned to his position.
"There was an incident just now, which delayed the progress of our auction a little, and then our auction will go on as usual."
She didn't feel a trace of panic because of the episode just now, and quickly stabilized the situation and let the auction go ahead as usual.
"At present, the highest price is 10 million spirit stones, if there is no price increase, then the Black Flame Grass will belong to this son in the fourth box."
Just as she was about to make a final offer, a deep middle-aged male voice interrupted her.
"Eleven million spirit stones."
"Twelve million."
Xuanqing refused to give up, and followed the price increase.
"Twenty million."
But the other party did not hesitate at all, and directly shouted the price to 20 million spirit stones, and Xuanqing did not increase the price this time.
At this time, his face was cold and hard, and the hand on the grip couldn't help but exert force, and directly pinched the chair made of black ironwood.
"Brother Xuanqing, why don't I lend you some spirit stones."
At this time, a cold little hand covered his hand, which calmed him down a lot.
"Forget it, Sister Tan, I can only blame myself for not having anything to do with this black flame grass." He broke free of Qu Xiaotan's hand, waved his hand, and said casually.
Originally, he wanted to use this black flame grass to help him break through to the Five Visceral Realm, but he was also a free and easy person, since it was beyond his ability, it would be okay if he couldn't get it, anyway, he didn't have more than this method to break through the Five Visceral Realm.
"That'...... All right. ”
Seeing that he had made up his mind, Qu Xiaotan couldn't force it anymore. At this time, Satsuki has also started the final offer.
"20 million for the first, second, and third time."
As the final hammer fell, the winner of the Black Flame Grass was finally determined, it was Jiang Qianmu and his party in the second box, but no one knew that it was them inside.
"Twenty million spirit stones, ......"
Jiang Qianmu was obviously very distressed, after all, this was 20 million spirit stones, and it was not a small amount in Canglan Country, and now they spent it like this.
"Okay, don't talk nonsense, hurry up and give me the spirit stone, and I'll pay."
Although Jiang Qianmu was a little reluctant, thinking about the future, he honestly handed over the space bag containing the spirit stone. Liuyun took the space bag, followed the maid's steps, and went to pay.
And coincidentally, she just bumped into Su Changnian, who also went to pay, the two just glanced at each other and didn't say anything, but they both felt uncomfortable from each other, the difference was that Su Changnian felt disgust, and Liuyun felt threat. But that's all, there was no more feeling, and the two of them went back separately after paying the spirit stones.
"It's really strange, there was always a familiar aura on that person just now." Su Changnian, who returned to Jiang Chaoyang and Xiaohuan, muttered silently in his heart.
"Lord Wang, can we go?"
"Oh, it's okay, let's go."
As he spoke, he took Jiang Chaoyang from Xiaohuan's arms, carried her on his back, and the three of them walked out of the auction like this.
"Lord Wang, how can we go back?"
Just as he was about to answer, he suddenly felt a familiar aura again, so he immediately spread his thoughts and looked for the location where the aura emanated, and Xiaohuan saw that his face suddenly changed, and obediently shut up and waited.
"It's kind of interesting."
After a while, Su Changnian returned to normal, but then sneered again. Because when he was probing the breath just now, he saw an acquaintance, and that person was Jiang Qianmu, even if he used illusion to cover up his true body, he was still pierced by Su Changnian at a glance.
He found that Jiang Qianmu and the woman in black he met just now walked together, followed by a middle-aged man he didn't know, the three of them seemed to be exchanging something, although he didn't know the content, but he clearly felt that the person who had just bid 20 million spirit stones to buy the black flame grass had the same breath as the middle-aged man.
And the breath he felt on the woman in black just now was clearly two, one was Jiang Qianmu's, and the other was the middle-aged man's, presumably it was the money she paid for the black flame grass just now.
After thinking through everything, Su Changnian couldn't help but sneer, it seemed that Jiang Xuyang, who reminded him, was right, Jiang Qianmu might really want to take advantage of Jiang Tianqi and their battle against Cangteng Kingdom.
Originally, he was still dissatisfied because Jiang Tianqi and the others left him in the imperial city and warned him not to go to war, but now that this depression has been swept away, it seems that it is still somewhat useful for him to stay here.
"Lord Wang, what are you happy about?"
Looking at Su Changnian, who had a faint smile on her face, she asked cautiously.
"It's nothing, let's go, let's walk back slowly."
"Oh, okay."
Seeing that he didn't want to say, Xiaohuan didn't ask again, and walked slowly with Su Changnian's steps.
