The secret box auction was arranged in the Babao Building, the largest restaurant in Shanyang Prefecture, which is also the property of the largest pottery family in Shanyang Prefecture.

With the power of the Zhang family, it can be ranked in the upper class in Shanyang Mansion, but in the entire Linzhong County, the top sky is just the middle and lower class, and there are many masters who come here to participate in the auction, even the masters of the five layers of imperial qi.

Chu Xiu followed the people of the Zhang family to take a seat, and a short and fat person, who always had a smile on his face, walked to the stage, arched his hand to the surroundings and said: "Tao Wang, the chief steward of the Tao family, this year's secret box auction will be presided over by my Tao family, thank you for appreciating your face."

It's been more than ten years since the auction of our secret box in Linzhong County was held, so I won't talk too much nonsense, and the rules are still the same as in previous years.

The origin of the secret box is absolutely true, not the slightest falsehood, and the identity of the seller will also be hidden, and the buyer will pay the money on the same day after the auction, and the seller can also collect the money on the same day.

There are also all the forces of my Linzhong County martial arts, in order not to hurt the harmony of the two sides, so in this secret box auction, each bidder is up to ten times, and if there is still competition after more than ten times, then the auction will be temporarily closed, and the two sides will discuss the ownership of this secret box by themselves.

Okay, let's not talk nonsense, under the name Tao Wang, I also wish you all a little better luck today, and the secret box that comes out has good things. ”

Hearing this Tao Wang briefly say the rules of the auction, Chu Xiu secretly said that it was dangerous, fortunately he thought about it one step more in advance and found the Zhang family as a shield, otherwise he would be really in trouble this time.

The auction of the secret box in this forest county is clearly prepared for themselves, and although outsiders can participate, there are obviously many inconveniences.

There are only ten bids at most, and the fear is that the two forces will have a grudge because of an auction.

Ten times later, everyone secretly discussed a compromise and discussed the ownership of the secret box, and everyone was happy to make a move.

But if Chu Xiu came to participate in the auction by himself, if someone robbed him, then after ten bids, the other party saw that Chu Xiu was a stranger or alone, then maybe what kind of decision would be made, coercion and robbery were possible.

At this time, Tao Wang on the stage waved his hand, and someone immediately brought up a secret box made of white jade, Tao Wang pointed to the secret box and said: "This secret box was produced in Nanban, excavated from a medium sect during the Great Tribulation of the Ancient Dynasty.

Although the name of the sect is unknown, the scale is not small, and judging by the material of its secret box, it should be used to hold elixirs and unrefined elixirs.

Of course, it may be empty among them, or the elixir and elixir in it have rotted due to material problems, so you are cautious and offer a price of fifteen thousand, and each increase is not less than one thousand. ”

As soon as the words fell, a group of people began to bid, and after a few times, it had doubled.

The price of a secret box that has been determined to contain elixirs is generally not too high, because there is too much uncertainty.

Some pills can remain immortal and maintain their medicinal power after they are refined, but some pills have an age limit, and after you open the secret box, although it is not empty, it is a pile of medicinal mud without the slightest medicinal power.

Zhang Songling asked in a low voice, "Is Gongzi Chu interested in this thing?"

Chu Xiu shook his head, for the situation of this auction, he only knew that there were a few good things that were mentioned in the plot, and as for whether there were other treasures that could be called treasures, he really didn't know, so before he saw his goal, Chu Xiu would not start.

Zhang Songling saw that Chu Xiu was not interested, so he bid twice and wanted to buy this secret box.

For a small family like the Zhang family, the probability of opening exercises in the secret box is a bit low-level, and the price of the secret box of the exercise class is at least ten times more than that of the pill class, and the Zhang family can't afford it.

Therefore, every year, the Zhang family will spend more than 100,000 taels of silver to shoot some elixir secret boxes, although most of them are empty, but there are always lucky times to be able to appear one or two good things, and if you are lucky, you can return to the original as long as you are lucky.

At the auction, several secret boxes were sold one after another, and Chu Xiu did not participate, until this time, Tao Wang asked people to take out a palm-sized, blood-red secret box with strange patterns on it, and said: "The origin of this secret box is somewhat interesting."

A few decades ago, there was an ancient Demon Dao Sect inheritance on the Eastern Qi side, and the Phaseless Demon Sect, one of the seven sects and eight factions, wanted it, and the Sword King City, one of the five major sword sects, also sent masters to rob it.

The battle between the two sides was a little fierce, and even directly destroyed the ancient ruins, which also made some small sects and loose cultivators around them take advantage of it and get a lot of secret boxes.

So over the years, the secret box produced by the Demon Dao Sect has also flowed out a lot, and some good things have also been opened in it, and the exercises practiced by the Demon Dao Sect should be related to blood, which belongs to the ultimate evil demons, so you should be cautious.

And the secret boxes that have flowed out over the years are also real and fake, and some people directly take some garbage secret boxes of unknown origin to pretend to be, which also deceives many people.

At present, this secret box has been determined by us, seven points of truth and three points of falsehood, whether it is an exercise or an elixir or other treasures, I can't see it, you should also be cautious, the reserve price is 200,000, and each bid is 10,000. ”

After listening to this introduction, there were really few people present bidding for the bid, especially those big forces, none of them participated in the bidding.

It's not because they think the secret box is fake, it's because they're not interested in the things of the Demon Path because they are afraid of fame.

The people who came to participate in the auction of this secret box were all righteous sects in Linzhong County, and it was easy to criticize people when they auctioned off the secret box produced in the Demon Dao, and if it was a practice, even if it was powerful, they could only practice secretly.

And if it is an elixir, it is also chicken ribs to a large extent.

Because most of the pills produced by the Demon Dao are not suitable for these martial artists who are from the righteous path, and some of them will even cause backlash.

Chu Xiu's eyes narrowed at this time, and he whispered to Zhang Songling: "Family Master Zhang, help me take a picture of this secret box!"

Zhang Songling nodded, and directly raised the card and said: "Two hundred and fifty thousand!"

As soon as everyone present saw that the Zhang family was interested, many people gave up directly.

It's not that they're afraid of the Zhang family, but it's not worth bidding for such a risky thing.

But at this time, there is a bald strong man who has been bidding with Zhang Songling, and both sides have already competed for 400,000 yuan, directly reaching the peak of ten bids.

The bald strong man stared, looked at Zhang Songling and snorted coldly: "Master Zhang, my Black Tiger Gang is so far away from your Shanyang Mansion, I haven't offended you, is it interesting for you to rob this thing with me?"

Other people in the righteous path were afraid that this secret box was a demonic thing and didn't want to shoot it, but this strong man was a gang reckless and didn't have this scruples.

Zhang Songling arched his hand and smiled bitterly: "Gang Master Cao, I didn't mean that, I really want this secret box too."

The two boys in my family all know it, but they are really a bit unsuccessful, and they can't be compared with his eldest brother.

My Zhang family's family heirloom exercises focus on accumulation, and it is too slow for him to practice, so I want to try my luck and see if I can open a demon path exercise, after all, the demon path exercise focuses on quick success, I don't ask how stable his foundation is, I just want the realm to be faster. ”

Zhang Songling's excuse is also reasonable, and the Cao gang leader of the Black Tiger Gang thought about it and said: "Since you want to help your son, my old Cao will not be embarrassed by you, 100,000 taels of silver, I will take the initiative to withdraw." ”

This kind of thing is very common in auctions, one party regresses, and the other party naturally has to pay some price.

In all fairness, 100,000 taels of silver is a bit much, but anyway, the secret box was asked for by Chu Xiu, and the silver was also his, Zhang Songling naturally didn't feel distressed, and directly agreed, and the secret box was also successfully photographed by Zhang Songling.

Chu Xiu frowned, the cost of this secret box was a bit beyond his imagination, and it took 500,000 yuan to shoot it, directly using up the silver he got from the Chu family.

But fortunately, he cooperated with the Zhang family this time, otherwise if he only came by himself, then the Cao gang leader of the Black Tiger Gang might not give him this face, at that time, Chu Xiu might have to make a cameo appearance as a bandit, and try to rob and kill halfway.

Chu Xiu did not participate in the next auction, anyway, in the original plot, the most valuable things in this auction have already arrived in his hands, and although there are still a few good things, Chu Xiu doesn't care.

After the auction ended, Zhang Songling took the silver that Chu Xiu gave him, handed over the money and said to Chu Xiu: "Young Master Chu, please be patient, after the seller receives the money and confirms, the secret box will be delivered to Zhang's family tonight." ”

Chu Xiu said: "Okay, I will come to Zhang's house to get the secret box in the evening, and I will also hand over the follow-up purple gold to you, the head of the Zhang family." ”

Leaving the auction, Zhang Songling returned directly to Zhang's house, and at this time, Han Wei, who had been away from Shanyang Mansion for several days, also happened to come back, he came to Zhang Songling's side and whispered: "Family master, I got the news back from Feng Manlou, then Chu Xiu's identity is really problematic!"
