bid?
Being taken advantage of?
Luo Chen made a cold sound in his heart.
"No, I won't swim in this muddy water."
"But, don't you want to stay in Taishanfang?"
Luo Chen hesitated for a moment, but decided to tell the truth.
"I really don't want to."
"Um?"
In the Li family's box, Li Yixian couldn't help but show surprise on his face.
"Why?"
"Do you want to stay here? In a city that has been run by the Kang family for hundreds of years, in a place where power has changed and the new owner is extremely powerful in terms of strength and background? I'm afraid that you will be swallowed up by them after many years. It has to be clean and tidy!”
Li Yixian frowned, "But..."
"Nothing but, maybe you will consider the family and seek a safe place to grow without too much fighting. But my heart is towards the avenue, and there is only one second-level spiritual vein here, so it should be divided between the two families."
Best, Luo Chen sent you a message.
"If you want to fight, Luo wouldn't mind lending you 10,000 yuan."
After the words fell, there was silence for a long time.
Only the sound of increasingly strenuous bidding echoed in the palace hall.
Huo Hu was among them, listening to the bids from both sides with a smile.
Even if there was a long interval, he didn't say anything about the first or second time.
However, looking at Luo Tianhui and the Li family's box, they looked a little unkind.
No face!
Without two bidders, the atmosphere is still not lively enough!
In the Li family box.
Li Yixian's lips were about to open and participate in the bidding.
However, Luo Chen's words always came to mind.
For the sake of the family, Taishanfang seems to be able to develop stably, but in the long run, it is definitely not a good place.
After all, with the Jade Cauldron Sword Pavilion gone, there would be no relatively large force to balance the situation.
The Huo family is the local overlord, and sooner or later they will not be able to tolerate other family forces.
The two old friends, the Kang family and the Yu family, may be able to tolerate it for a while, but the newcomers...
For personal reasons, she also felt that not having a second-level spiritual land was really a drag on her cultivation.
In the end, she dejectedly gave up bidding on the Black Fire Sword.
When she gave up.
The bidding in the venue has been silent for a long time.
The price stopped at 83,000 yuan of low-grade spiritual stones sold by Wang Haichao.
Nangong Jin had a bitter look on his face, it was impossible for him to continue bidding.
This has exceeded the limit of the Nangong family.
If this goes on, the whole family will not be able to bear it.
However, the bidding failed and the opportunity to stay in Taishanfang was lost.
He looked back at the few ninth-level Qi Refining monks from the Nangong family who were following him, and sighed.
"Perhaps we will wander again."
On the other hand, Wang Haichao's face was equally gloomy.
Eighty-three thousand!
It would be too much of a waste to buy a mediocre low-grade flying sword.
I'm afraid that at this time, many fellow foundation builders in the field would look at him like a fool!
"Nangong Jin!"
"You are so mean!"
"As promised, are you going to be a bystander?"
The three major foundations of Dahefang are not in a good mood at the moment.
But inside the auction venue, the noise was already rising.
An ordinary low-grade magic weapon was auctioned for a high price of 83,000 yuan. This really shocked these casual cultivators who had never seen the world.
This price should be for those defensive magic weapons or Qimen magic weapons!
Amidst the commotion.
Gradually some people came back to their senses.
These are those foundation-building true cultivators who are giving the Huo family face!
Luo Chen quietly watched this farce come to an end.
It was impossible for Nangong Jin to compete with Wang Haichao.
When the other party left Dahefang, he made a lot of money from those casual cultivators for boat tickets.
Fifty yuan a ticket!
There were two to three thousand people on board the ship at that time.
That’s a lot of money!
Moreover, everything is in the hands of Wang Haichao. Nangong Jin is dragged down by his family. He will fight for his head!
"Master!"
Suddenly, a voice came from my ear.
Luo Chen turned around and saw that Qu Lingjun was waking up from the shock.
But there was still a look of confusion in his eyes.
"What's wrong?"
Qu Lingjun asked in confusion: "Why did Boss Wang spend so much money to buy this magic weapon? I heard others say that this magic weapon is not suitable for him!"
Luo Chen smiled slightly, "Because he wants to stay in Taishanfang!"
"Why does he want to stay in Taishanfang so much?" Qu Lingjun was still puzzled, "I heard from Aunt Gu that he earned hundreds of thousands of spiritual stones. With this money, he found a second-level spiritual place to cultivate hard. Is it not good?"
Luo Chen was startled, with a look of doubt on his face.
Hundreds of thousands was a bit exaggerated. In order to fill River Swallowing Toad's belly, he distributed a large amount of spiritual stones to the two major families to purchase and tame spiritual beasts.
But the rest is only 110,000 or 20,000.
With such a large amount of money, where can I go to be happy and comfortable?
"hehe……"
A generous chuckle sounded.
It's Wang Yuan.
However, the chuckle gradually turned into a sneer.
"Some people have changed! It's just that simple."
"changed?"
Qu Lingjun was still puzzled, looking at Wang Yuan with eyes full of curiosity.
He didn't notice that Luo Chen's expression changed drastically and he was shocked.
yes!
Wang Haichao, changed!
Wang Yuan glanced at Luo Chen and said casually to Qu Lingjun: "In addition to the cultivating families and sects, what is the purpose of forming a force among casual cultivators?"
Qu Lingjun replied matter-of-factly: "Of course it is to use sufficient manpower to collect cultivation resources!"
This is the original intention of all foundation-building casual cultivators who spend a lot of energy building their forces.
Wang Yuan nodded, and then said: "But when a person is used to the stars holding the moon, used to having the power of life and death, and used to ordering thousands of monks. You let him hide in the Pure Cave with abundant resources. , practicing in deep mountains and old forests. Will he still get used to it?"
Qu Lingjun was stunned and answered naturally: "What's wrong with this?"
yes!
For Qu Lingjun, who has no experience in the world and only understands family and love, is this not something he is accustomed to?
Once your goal is achieved, shouldn’t you pursue immortality?
Luo Chen smiled bitterly as he looked at the young man whose height had gradually caught up with him.
Disciple!
You don’t know that there is something called “power” in this world.
That is a terrifying existence that can make men give up countless things.
His eyes wandered to Wang Yuan, and he glanced at him gratefully.
Wang Yuan nodded nonchalantly and continued to focus on the inter-venue auction.
The reason why Luo Chen is "grateful" to Wang Yuan.
It was because the other party was deliberately trying to tease him!
Wang Haichao wants to stay in Taishanfang at any cost, isn't it because he has a piece of territory that allows him to continue to control the Dajiang Gang!
In another place, would the Dajiang Gang still exist?
How many of these casual cultivators from Dahefang are willing to leave their hometown with him?
Without the blood connection and Luo Chen's prestige, it would be extremely difficult for him to wrap these people up in a ball and bring them to Taishanfang.
Therefore, if he wants to enjoy the taste of power, he has to stay here!
Perhaps, his original intention at the beginning was just to use the Dajiang Gang to collect resources for himself.
But gradually, he became addicted to it.
he's changed!
On the contrary, isn't this the case for me?
In other words, aren't I in the primary stage of Wang Haichao now?
At this stage, Luo Tianhui is indeed useful to him, and of great use.
But what about the future?
When he earns enough wealth to spend time in retreat, can he still let go of his habit of enjoying power?
Luo Chen, it's hard to imagine whether his future self will change.
Wang Yuan, however, had already prepared for a rainy day and thought of that moment.
People are different.
Luo Chen was just a social beast in his previous life. Except for the occasional experience of commanding his teammates in games, he rarely enjoyed the taste of power.
But now, he does enjoy the sight of hundreds of people paying homage to him as he waves his hand.
He enjoyed the feeling at that moment when all the cultivators in the Luotian congregation shouted to him in unison: "President, get on the boat!"
so!
In the future, he is really likely to be addicted to it.
But Wang Yuan is different.
He came from the martial arts world, fought and killed all the way up, and once formed a martial arts sect in the martial arts world.
But for the sake of immortality and strength.
He still gave up his top position in the world without hesitation and chose to come to Dahefang and work hard from the lowest level as a casual cultivator.
Luo Chen once asked him to manage Luo Tianhui on his behalf, but he was also very impatient.
It's not that he doesn't care, but that he thinks it will affect his practice.
He is a past person!
"He is a friend, a big brother, and a teacher who always reminds me on the road of spiritual practice."
Luo Chen suppressed his complicated emotions, glanced at Wang Yuan gratefully, and returned his attention.
…
"Next is the auction stage of the Spiritual Medicine Pavilion."
"What they want to auction is...the Foundation Establishment Pill!"
Huo Hu's voice was very long.
However, the moment it fell, all the thousands of casual cultivators in the venue held their breath.
The burning gaze seemed to melt him.
Huo Hu pursed his lips, waved his hand, and the red cloth was removed from the table, revealing three jade bottles that stood out.
"There are three in total, auctioned separately."
"The starting price is one thousand spiritual stones, and each increase in price must not be less than one hundred."
"Everyone, please!"
The words just fell.
The surging bidding sounds came from the shore like a stormy sea.
One thousand and one!
One thousand and two!
two thousand!
Three thousand!
Without any hesitation, prices skyrocketed.
Not only the casual cultivators, but also the heavy breathing sounds came from the boxes of the major foundation-building forces.
Dajiang Gang is in the box.
Min Longyu's eyes lit up, "Gang Leader!"
Wang Haichao glanced at him and said, "Wait and see. I don't recommend selling the first one. The price will definitely be very high."
Min Longyu opened his mouth, it was best to suppress his urgent mood.
What the other party said was not wrong.
And in Luo Tianhui's box.
Luo Chen was moved in his heart.
The Huo family is indeed extraordinary. For the first time they held an auction, the Spiritual Medicine Pavilion was very proud of them.
Although it was not as good as when Dahefang Jade Cauldron Sword Pavilion took out five foundation-building pills casually, three pills were indeed a lot.
What made his heart move slightly was that the number was so small.
This means that there is no possibility for the major foundation-building forces to share the cake.
So, that means... first-come, first-served!
Turning around, Luo Chen looked at the cultivators in Luo Tian's congregation.
The nine levels of ten great qi refinings!
Those who are close to the Great Perfection of Qi Refining include Sima Huiniang, Murong Qinglian, Duan Feng and Bian Zhen, a casual cultivator who joined three years ago.
In addition, Qin Liangchen and Sima Xian were only a few years away from achieving the Great Perfection of Qi Refining.
In addition, Gu Caiyi, Zhou Yuanli, Liu Qiang, and Su Xiaolin are also considered young.
In the future, there is some possibility of foundation building.
These people should all want a foundation-building pill!
Even Qin Liangchen and his wife, who already have one in hand, will never have too little.
Facing Luo Chen's sweeping gaze, all ten people breathed heavily.
They looked at Luo Chen, their lips opening and closing one by one, but they held back.
Luo Chen smiled.
"Just don't take action, you can't get it."
"Three Foundation Establishment Pills, let me take one for you!"
"When the time comes, whoever refines his Qi to perfection first will come to me and buy it at the original price."
After saying that, he suddenly turned around.
He shouted loudly at the lively bidding scene below.
"Five thousand low-grade spiritual stones!"
The scene was quiet for a while.
Then, a Qi Refining Dzogchen monk gritted his teeth and shouted: "Five thousand one!"
Luo Chen glanced at him and said calmly: "Five thousand two."
The man gritted his teeth again: "Five thousand three!"
"Five thousand four."
According to this calm and unhurried momentum, there is a strong momentum that I will follow you as much as you give.
The man still wanted to bid, but was stopped by his companion.
His companion shook his head solemnly at him, but he was still unwilling to give in.
But in the end, I gave up.
After all, he was facing a true cultivator of foundation building!
There are only three things that can be done. If you continue to fight, you will be afraid that your life will be bought but not used.
And, next, there are two more!
The fear of the foundation-building true cultivation and the luck of the follow-up made him finally give up.
"The first Foundation Building Pill costs 5,400 spiritual stones at a time!"
"Fifty-four hundred spiritual stones for the second time!"
Huo Hu frowned, his face full of dissatisfaction.
The price of the Foundation Establishment Pill in the public auction should not be so low!
Moreover, the market for elixirs is rising these days, and it shouldn’t be this low!
Today is the day when the Huo family declares its sovereignty over Taishan Fang, and it shouldn’t be so low!
He dragged out the third sound, but it was still lingering.
Facing him was Luo Chen's aloof and unwavering gaze.
Finally, he said bitterly: "Fifty-four hundred spiritual stones, the third time."
"make a deal!"
Without saying congratulations, he directly asked someone to deliver the elixir to Luo Chen.
This graceless scene was seen by many people.
In the Kang family's box.
Kang Dongyue shook his head. The Huo family's auction was really not very good this time.
Declaring sovereignty is nothing.
The rush to introduce Huo Hu, a new genius in foundation building, is highly questionable.
Inviting a respected senior to host this auction can not only gain high profits, but also maintain a good reputation.
Why bother!
In the Yu family box.
A young woman in palace attire also frowned.
An old man next to him said in a low voice: "Huo Hu is like his father. He is domineering, but narrow-minded. If Chu Chu marries him, life will not be easy in the future!"
The young woman in palace clothes smiled bitterly and said, "Elder of the clan, what can I do? That old guy Huo Quan is afraid that after he comes out of seclusion, he will be in the late stage of foundation building. In this way, he is already stronger than us, and he can do both foundation building in one discipline. We have the support of the Yan Alliance behind us.”
"It's not like the Kang family, we have the Jade Cauldron Sword Sect as our backer. If we don't get married, are we waiting to be beaten in the future?"
The clan elder was silent.
Just looking at Huo Hu's eyes, he was not satisfied after all.
In the future, I am afraid that the child Yu Chuchu will suffer.
The first Foundation Establishment Pill was sold at a low price of five thousand four thousand.
The casual cultivators who did not participate in the bidding were envious.
Especially some of them who were able to take out this spiritual stone regretted it even more.
But, that is a foundation-building true cultivator!
Over there with the Dajiang Gang.
Min Longyu looked at the Foundation Establishment Pill eagerly and sent it to the ninth box through the backstage.
He knew that it was impossible for Wang Haichao to compete with Luo Chen.
After all, the other party did not stumble with him at the Xuanhuo Sword auction, and his net worth was extremely strong.
It would be the same if he were in another place.
He licked his dry lips and reminded carefully:
"Gang Leader, the auction of the second Foundation Establishment Pill has begun."
Wang Haichao nodded.
"No rush, let's wait and see what happens, and then make a final decision!"
Min Longyu hesitated for a moment, then nodded heavily.
right!
The final word!
Then Luo Chen, didn't he just nail down a second-level secret technique before?
It doesn’t make sense, you can’t do it here.
When he first sought refuge with Wang Haichao, the other party promised him firmly and found him a Foundation Establishment Pill.
