"Kenshin handled it very appropriately, I even felt a little nervous for him."
In a luxurious private room, a middle-aged monk with a clear face looked at the auction venue outside and smiled calmly.
It was Deng Xiaofeng, the owner of Yanyu Tower.
Next to him stood a woman with a calm face, like ice and snow, with a hint of indifference and sharpness in her calm eyes. She was Long Jianxin's fiancée Deng Zixuan.
Together with Ryu Kenshin, she is known as the twin pride of Bobo Island.
There are two monks in the box. One has a majestic body, sitting there, shaped like a mountain, with eyebrows like swords. It is Wang Qinglian, the leader of the Qingyan Sect.
The other one is Long Tianxiang.
"Quanzi still lacks experience and cannot respond in time when faced with emergencies. Fortunately, when he was harshly scolded, he did not get angry and chose the right way to deal with it."
Long Tianxiang stroked his beard and said with a smile: "In full view of the public, if you don't admit your negligence and instead get angry, it will become uncontrollable."
"Jianxin's performance is indeed impressive. Brother Tianxiang has given birth to a good son, which is enviable."
Wang Qinglian said expressionlessly, neither salty nor cold.
"Haha, Zixuan's "Yuhua Jing" is a masterpiece. His talent is still higher than that of a dog. Brother Xiaofeng is enviable."
Long Tianxiang said this, but his face was filled with uncontrollable irritation.
"What are you envious of? It's not that I want to take advantage of your Kenshin and your Long family."
Deng Xiaofeng snorted lightly.
A blush appeared on Deng Zixuan's face, and his eyes sunk slightly.
"Haha, our two families are married, what difference do we have from each other? Brother Xiaofeng has an affair, hahahaha."
Long Tianxiang smiled from ear to ear.
A cold look flashed across Wang Qinglian's face, and she changed the subject and said, "That person in the Yun Merchant Chamber of Commerce dares to openly criticize Jian Xin, but he also doesn't give Liu Bufan face. I'm afraid he has some background."
"To be able to enter the exclusive box of the Chamber of Commerce, one must be rich or noble. There is some unrest on the sea. Do we want to investigate this person?"
Long Tianxiang suppressed his smile and said in a solemn voice.
"Exactly, the news I got this morning is that there is a second-level island in the southeast of the sea that was massacred half a month ago. No one survived on the island. The death was tragic and strange."
Deng Xiaofeng frowned and said.
"I also received it. According to the investigators, it may not have been done by humans, at least not by normal monks."
Long Tianxiang said in a deep voice.
Because he has to hold an exhibition, he has been paying close attention to all news recently, for fear of causing trouble.
He added: "The massacre of the island is so evil and weird that it is the outrage of both humans and gods. It has not happened in the sea area for a long time. However, more than ten years ago, I heard that it happened in the 54th sea area, but it seemed to have no results."
"Ten years, for us monks, just passes in the blink of an eye. Could it be the same person?"
Deng Xiaofeng pondered for a moment, then turned to Deng Zixuan and said, "Zixuan, please pay attention to this matter and collect information. At the same time, you are also responsible for investigating the person from the Yunshang Chamber of Commerce.
"Remember, firstly, don't alert others, and secondly, don't cause trouble. We just want to obtain information, not cause trouble."
"Yes, Dad!"
Deng Zixuan accepted the order and said: "Then I will go now and ask someone to investigate whether there are any strange people appearing in the Chamber of Commerce during this period."
"My daughter Zixuan is so thoughtful, much better than my dog's thinking."
Long Xiaofeng squinted his eyes and smiled, the more he looked at his daughter-in-law, the more he liked her.
"Uncle is so impressed."
Deng Zixuan said lightly, then turned and left.
…
The auction will soon come to an end.
The things behind are very precious, and their value is not inferior to Xia Bing's.
But Xie Huan didn't take action because he either didn't lack it or couldn't use it.
"The next step is an exciting moment."
Long Jianxin looked at the audience with a smile and said: "You should already know that the first thing is the biggest hot spot at the moment, the Tianhuang monk!
"The next ten people to be photographed all came from Tianhuang Palace. Each one has their own legendary experience. After testing, the lowest talent of these ten people has reached level B, and one of them even has The foundation-building monk has also practiced in the Stardust Monument!"
Amid the uproar and discussions, a group of people were filed into the auction house.
Everyone has a dull expression, empty eyes, wearing the same clothes, and has fine-lined chains and seals on their bodies.
Xie Huan's pupils opened slightly and he couldn't help but froze for a moment.
That foundation-building monk turned out to be Xiao Ping.
At this moment, Xiao Pingping was looking ahead expressionlessly, like a puppet.
The other nine people were all strangers, with Qi refining skills, their eyes were dull and muddy, and they had obviously resigned themselves to their fate.
When Han Wenshan saw Xiao Ping, his body trembled slightly and he almost screamed.
But he suppressed it in an instant, his expression extremely ugly.
He has been hanging out on Luoxia Island. Xiao Ping has a well-known name, and later he became a respected foundation builder. But now he is reduced to the auction house and becomes a toy for everyone to bid on.
"Brother Ning Shi, what's wrong?"
Lin Yaoyao's thoughts were all on Han Wenshan, and she noticed Han Wenshan's changes immediately.
"It's nothing, I just feel that auctioning monks is a bit inhumane."
Han Wenshan said silently.
"It's quite cruel, but what can be done."
Lin Yaoyao also looked helpless.
Xiao Ping and ten others were brought to one side of the auction table.
Long Jianxin did not start the auction directly, but continued: "The second final auction item is the soul shell, a magic weapon that was taken from the depths of the Bobo Island strata and refined by a powerful god-transformer.
"This treasure is a rare defensive magic weapon. Wearing it on the body can enhance soul power and resist soul power attacks. It is also very rare among magic weapons."
After saying that, two beautiful maids came to the stage, holding a deep and powerful armor in their hands.
It immediately caught everyone's eyes.
The appearance of this battle armor is grand, calm and refined. It is wrapped with metal edges and decorations. The lines on it are extremely complex and flow with dark luster.
Xie Huan used his eyes of insight to analyze the material and structure of this armor.
After just a few breaths, his soul power was exhausted. His eyes hurt and he hurriedly closed them.
But it was roughly clear that this armor was mainly made of strange rocks, mixed with other metals, and embedded with a large number of mysterious formations.
"This object has been famous for a long time and has been kept in the Yanyu Tower. It must have been brought out by Deng Xiaofeng in support of his son-in-law. Could Fellow Taoist Pei be interested?"
Seeing Xie Huan's expression change, Shang Tao immediately explained.
"Let's check the price later."
Xie Huan said calmly.
"The third lot does not need me to introduce too much. Its name is known to almost everyone on the island. Eating one can improve your soul power, talent, and cultivation. It has Taoist patterns growing on it. , known as the dragon-marked spiritual fruit!”
Long Jianxin said excitedly.
A beautiful maid walked up to the venue carrying a jade plate. After lifting the silk satin, a ray of light overflowed.
Xie Huan looked around and found it a bit dazzling.
After a few glances, I got used to it.
The lines on it are intertwined, as if dragon veins are coiling on it. What's even more peculiar is that these lines are still flowing.
Xie Huan's heart was pounding.
Of these three finales, except for the first one which makes no sense, the remaining two are truly extraordinary, and each one is better than the last.
There were various discussions in the venue, and the atmosphere was extremely intense.
Xie Huan noticed that the ghost mask monk's body also moved slightly.
It seems that this person also came here for these three items, and he doesn’t know which one he wants to buy.
"Now that we've introduced them all, let's start bidding from the first one. The ten Tianhuang monks will not be shot separately. They are perfect for buying them back as seed bodies or domestic slaves. There is no reserve price and no price increase limit. The bidding starts now."
After Long Jianxin finished speaking, the crowd discussed for a long time before bids started to come in one after another.
"The most valuable one is the foundation-building monk. The foundation-building monk himself is of great value. He has also visited the Stardust Monument in person. This experience is extremely precious. The other nine people are basically bonuses."
Shang Tao said with a smile.
Xie Huan said "hmm" and closed his eyes.
He wanted to wait and see the price. If it was not expensive, he would buy it and let it go.
But soon his idea was shattered, and the price soared to one million, and it was still rising at an extremely fast rate.
One of the buyers who bid the most aggressively was also in the VIP room on the second floor, just two rooms away from Xie Huan.
Xie Huan is a little curious, who is so perverted that he buys these people?
Before long, the price reached two million.
Shang Tao was also a little surprised and said: "For ordinary monks in the early stage of foundation building, one million is already the top price. Even for Tianhuang monks, if there is no other value, two million is too high."
But the price continued to climb, and soon passed three million.
It was the shout from two rooms away.
The whole place fell silent immediately.
Suddenly another voice shouted: "Three million and three hundred thousand."
Shang Tao was suddenly startled. The person calling out the price was Xie Huan. He said in a daze: "Fellow Daoist Pei...this price..."
Xie Huan ignored it and just sat quietly and watched.
"Three and a half million."
Another quote came from over there.
"Three million and eight hundred thousand."
Xie Huan shouted again.
"four million."
There was a pause there, but he quickly picked up.
The whole place was audibly silent, except for the two people's quotations, and the voices of both parties were extremely calm, without a trace of emotion.
"Four, two million."
Xie Huan thought for a moment and quoted another price.
He didn't really want to buy it.
It just feels strange, so if you test the other party's determination, you can guess a lot of things.
If the other party retreats and he becomes the one who has been taken advantage of, then he will admit it. Then Xiao Ping cannot let him go and must keep it in his hands and use it to earn back the four million for him.
But the other party's determination seemed to be stronger than Xie Huan thought, and he directly mentioned 4.5 million.
"Congratulations, fellow Taoist, I like these ten Tianhuang monks very much, but my financial resources are limited."
Xie Huan said with a smile.
He wants to see how the other person responds.
But there was no sound from there.
Cautious enough...
Four and a half million, Long Jianxin read it three times, naturally no one would raise the price and the deal was done directly.
Long Jianxin was also very curious.
This box belongs to the Shadow Sect, a second-rate sect on Bobo Island, which is worse than the Tianhuan Sect. Why did they buy these ten monks at a sky-high price?
Could it be that they know some secrets that they don’t know?
Another thing that surprised Long Jianxin was Xie Huan's bid. It seemed that the identity of this master was more complicated than he thought.
Ten people from Xiao Ping were taken down for delivery.
"Shop Manager Shang, bid me the price for the next two lots. I'll come as soon as I can."
After Xie Huan finished speaking, he had already arrived at the door.
Shang Tao was startled and said hurriedly: "How much does it cost?"
"Any amount is fine."
After Xie Huan finished speaking, he had already left the box.
No matter how much you want...
Shang Tao was dumbfounded.
That being said, if the price were to be paid at a million-dollar premium, or doubled at a premium, would this noble owner really not slap himself to death? Or just don't recognize it...
Shang Tao wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, his heart pounding.
