Jinxiu, a little tired, walked to my bed and took out an ancient book.
She opened the ancient book and handed it to me.
I looked at the information on it and murmured: "Insect?"
"The worm is a very special kind of insect from ancient times. It only appears in the desert. It is said that there can only be one worm in the desert for thousands of miles. The worm hides day and night and has hidden fire inside. If Tang Rou is allowed to obey When the insect descends, the dark fire enters the body. Under the influence of this strange dark fire, it may be able to cause the Millennium Dragon and Tiger List to be repelled and leave the body on its own."
Jinxiu said slowly.
I have never heard of this insect before. After all, the world is so big and full of wonders that I can’t possibly know everything.
Jinxiu and Cemen are quite capable, and they were able to discover such a strange little bug in a short period of time.
I said, "If this bug is swallowed into the body, will anything happen?"
If it costs Tang Rou's life to get the Millennium Dragon and Tiger Ranking, then I might as well choose the previous method.
"Don't worry, although the dark fire of the worm has bad properties, it is a nourishing thing for the human body. When swallowed into the body, it can blend with the blood and even have the effect of prolonging life. It is said that a worm can make a person live longer. A dying old man will live a full year longer."
Jinxiu replied to me.
Then, I asked: "In that case, worms should be very rare and difficult to get..."
The thing I lack most now is time.
Jinxiu looked at me intently and said, "Of course it is very precious. I have never seen a worm. Not even my father, my grandfather, or my great-grandfather have seen a worm."
I was slightly startled.
What kind of power is Cemen?
All the treasures in the world come from Cemen. Not only all of the most precious things in the world are in the hands of Cemen, at least 60% of them have been handled by Cemen.
And the treasures that the Cemen leader has seen are probably 80% to 90% of all the treasures in the world.
The degree of cherishment of this insect far exceeds my expectation.
Even no one in the register has seen this thing, how can I get it?
But I calmed down quickly. Since Jinxiu told me this method, it means that she should have a way to get the bug.
Sure enough, Jinxiu glared at me and said, "You're lucky, not a single insect will appear in these thousands of years. Recently, it appeared in the auction market in Shangjing, and our sect got the news immediately, so That's why I can think of a way to solve your problem using bugs so quickly."
I am certain in my heart.
"Jinxiu, help me get the worm."
I was thinking that since it was an auction, even registering the door would cost money. This kind of treasure would probably cost a lot of money.
I have everything but no money, so I can only ask for help from Jinxiu.
We looked at each other for a while, and Jinxiu asked me: "I can help you, but you have to answer me a question, why do you want to get the Millennium Dragon and Tiger List?"
I hesitated and said, "Without the Millennium Dragon and Tiger List, I... would die!"
Jinxiu's face solidified.
She nodded and said, "Okay, I will try my best to help you get the bug in the auction. You can rest well here and wait for my news."
"I'll go with you then."
And after thinking for a while, I said it out loud.
This insect is of extraordinary value, and its importance to me is self-evident. In order to be sure, I thought about it, and I would go to the auction house with Jinxiu to have a look.
"Can your body bear it?" Jinxiu asked me.
"no problem."
My body has almost recovered and I am not that weak.
Jinxiu finally nodded and agreed.
Two days later, Jinxiu and I came to Jintianhe Auction House.
Although the worms were auctioned at Cemen's auction house, according to Jinxiu, the client of the worms was not Cemen. The other party just used Cemen's auction house to auction the worms.
I also asked Jinxiu who the client of this bug was. Jinxiu said that the other party was very mysterious and asked her younger brother to find her.
Jinxiu also thought about taking away the bug privately, but the client strongly demanded that it must be put at the auction.
This is normal. The benefits obtained from private transactions are definitely not as great as those obtained from auctions.
"Chen Qi, there are a lot of people coming to the auction house today. There is a mix of good and bad, everyone is included. Although my sect is rich and powerful, we may not be able to successfully capture the worm."
Jinxiu whispered to me: "The most important thing is that the client asked to intervene in the auction."
To put it simply, the auction of worms allows the client to make subjective choices. If someone comes up with something that satisfies the client, they can exchange it directly.
There is no doubt that this makes it more difficult to obtain worms.
"Just do your best."
I said something to Jinxiu.
After arriving at Jintianhe, many people in formal suits had already arrived at the auction house. Jinxiu took me directly to the box.
She said: "The auction starts at nine o'clock, and the worm is the finale. Before that, there are many precious things."
I nodded. Just as she said, there were indeed a lot of good things in this auction. Some of them were entrusted by Cemen to be auctioned by the consignor, and some were brought out by Cemen himself.
Antiquities from the Spring and Autumn Period to treasures from the Ming and Qing Dynasties are all displayed in this auction house.
After waiting for more than two hours, around 11:30, the highlight finally came!
I saw an ordinary-looking man next to the auctioneer at the door. The man was holding a glass box in his hand, and the outside of the box was covered with black cloth.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the next item to be auctioned is the last item in this Jintianhe auction, and it is also the most precious item."
"As for the information about this object, I think all guests have already obtained it in advance. Guests who don't know can also check the auction information in their hands, so I won't go into details."
"The starting price is 50 million, and each increase will be no less than 5 million. Those who are interested hold up their sign!"
"In addition, according to the request of the client next to me, I can accept transactions other than money."
The auctioneer laughed.
Then, the client beside him unveiled the black cloth.
It is a completely sealed vacuum glass box. In the glass box, there is a jade fossil.
And the worm is inside the fossil.
This is an insect fossil.
"Due to climate and modernization, the worms have long been extinct, and the worms that can still survive are all in the fossils."
Jinxiu said softly.
I nodded, and my attention was focused on the client of the auction bug.
He is a very ordinary man, but for some reason,
I felt some familiar aura from this man.
I wonder...
Could it be,
I know him?
