The first stage of the Dou Dan Contest is over, some are happy and some are sad.
However, Yi Hao from Qushui City and Xu Zhen from Wasteland City did not leave the stage because the elixir auction for the five groups of contestants was about to begin.
Naturally, Old Ghost Mu Yun would not pay for these expensive medicinal materials himself, but would transfer the cost to other onlookers. Taking advantage of this opportunity to make a fortune and share it with the contestants is a way to get the best of both worlds. It shows that he is still a very intelligent person.
"Brother rough man, this elixir is made by you. No matter how much you sell it for, it's still yours. I won't take a cent."
There was a smile in Liu Bingqian's beautiful eyes. Since she had advanced to the next round, she was naturally in a very relaxed mood.
As for the matter of the auction, she didn't care about it at all, and planned to leave it to Ye Zifeng to take care of it.
Ye Zifeng smiled slightly, stared at the outside for a while, then turned around.
"If you really don't want to take a share of the gold coins, I'm afraid you will regret it later and cry."
Liu Bingqian chuckled lightly, and said coquettishly: "Look at what you said, am I Liu Bingqian the kind of person who sees money? Bro, you helped me wash away the shame of the past this time. I thank you before it's too late. How can I want the original?" Something that belongs to you?!"
Ye Zifeng smiled lightly and sighed.
Perhaps, it was precisely because when he and Liu Bingqian were together that the other party treated him sincerely, he regarded her as a friend, regardless of her last name.
Otherwise, just because of Liu Ningzi, he would not want to talk to anyone from the Liu family.
…
"Is there a higher price for the pill refined by Xu Zhen in the Wasteland City? Four hundred gold coins once, four hundred gold coins twice! Okay, that's four hundred gold coins!"
Xu Zhen smiled and looked at Yi Hao, because the latter's elixir was only sold for three hundred gold coins.
Since the competition is temporarily suspended, it is considered to be an intermission, and people who like to watch the excitement started talking about it.
"A mortal pill furnace sells for 300 gold coins. I didn't expect Master Mu Yun to be extremely shrewd in his work. Taking advantage of the crowd, the two elixirs are sold for 700 gold coins. Five hundred gold coins. If it's 50%, that's 350 gold coins, and the money for the medicinal materials is already enough."
"That's not enough. What's being auctioned now is only the pills of the last two eliminated people. Who knows what price the top three pills will fetch?!"
The old ghost Mu Yun smiled slightly, and continued to host the auction, which was tantamount to speculation and selling.
Since everyone has seen it with their own eyes, there is nothing to lie about, so everyone's bids are relatively straightforward. Not only are they buying pills for their own use, but at the same time, it is also a good stage to show their financial resources and strength!
"The Zengyuan Pill refined by Hua Shao in the Copper Fire City is of guaranteed quality and innocent. Hua Shao has already told me that if it is less than 600 gold coins, he will not sell the pill!"
"Seven hundred, I'll pay seven hundred gold coins!" From the crowd came the voice of the first price increase so far.
"I... I offer seven hundred and fifty gold coins!"
"Eight hundred gold coins!"
Once the final decision is made, no one dares to increase the price.
Buying a elixir for 800 gold coins is equivalent to doubling Xu Zhen's base, but in fact, the real value of the elixir refined by Hua Shao is at most 600 gold coins.
Ye Zifeng smiled lightly and looked at Liu Bingqian: "What do you think of this price?"
Liu Bingqian pondered for a moment, then blinked her big eyes: "It feels a bit expensive, but it can't be considered outrageous."
Ye Zifeng nodded slightly, looked at the crowd meaningfully, and continued: "If I'm not wrong, this Hua Shao specially hired someone to increase his price."
"You can see that?"
Ye Zifeng smiled, and pointed to the person who was shouting 750 gold coins in the crowd just now: "Just now when everyone was concocting alchemy, I noticed that Hua Shao had several eye contact with this person , from my experience, these two people must have something to do with each other."
"Didn't you guide me at that time? Did you desert yourself?"
Liu Bingqian's face was stunned, she had turned her back to Ye Zifeng before, and couldn't see what he was doing.
"Is this..." In fact, Ye Zifeng was looking around all the time, deserting almost the whole time!
Liu Bingqian's complexion changed slightly, and she whispered softly: "However, this is unlikely, you know, this is a violation of the regulations."
"Violation of the rules? No, Hua Shao is very smart. As long as she doesn't find an acquaintance to cheat and be the one who makes the final decision, even if Mu Yun finds out, she will turn a blind eye. Eight hundred gold coins a Zengyuan Dan, he has proven his worth, in the eyes of some laymen, he is already very powerful, and Hua Shao has achieved his goal."
Liu Bingqian pondered for a while, then nodded with a "yes": "I thought Hua Shao was very arrogant and unruly, but now that you say it like this, he is still a person with a lot of small thoughts? Then, big brother... What about you? What kind of person are you?"
"Me?" Ye Zifeng was asked by her coldly, his expression slightly changed.
Fortunately, at this time, according to the order of auctioning the pills, they had already reached Ye Zifeng's side, so he didn't have to answer Liu Bingqian's difficult question anymore.
"Next, Liu Bingqian, it's your turn!"
Old Ghost Mu Yun was very happy because of her apprentice's victory, so when she cast her gaze on Ye Zifeng, her eyes became much kinder.
"Bingqian, do you plan to follow Hua Shao's lead and give me a reserve price?"
Liu Bingqian smiled, looked at Ye Zifeng, and signaled that he would decide the reserve price.
Ye Zifeng was silent for a while, then raised his head and asked, "Is any price acceptable?"
Mu Yun's heart shuddered, and he always felt that this kid was about to come up with some stupid tricks, so he couldn't help but open his mouth to remind him.
"Yes, any price is fine. However, I still advise you, don't set the reserve price too high."
Ye Zifeng nodded and chuckled: "Of course it won't be higher, so I decided that the base price is one gold coin."
"A reserve price of one gold coin?"
There was an uproar in the audience, the pills of the people in front were sold for 300 and 400 gold coins respectively, and Hua Shao's reserve price was directly 600 gold coins.
And now, Ye Zifeng actually set one gold coin as the base price! People don't know what he is thinking at all.
However, before everyone could fully react, a deep voice sounded.
"Nine hundred gold coins!"
Everyone turned their attention to the source of the voice, wanting to see who was such a prodigal, and the price was 100 gold coins higher than the highest price just now.
After Hua Shao heard the words, his face became even more livid. He had prepared so hard for so long before he sold 800 gold coins. As a result, Ye Zifeng's first bid overcame his own. Ye Zifeng was exhausted.
Following the sound, a middle-aged man was wearing a dark purple crane cloak, with a blue tiger-striped horn belt tied around his waist. With a glance of the tiger's eyes, some timid people couldn't help but back up a few steps.
"God, look at his attire and saber, he is a master of Taoism, no wonder he is so rich!"
"But, as you heard just now, he raised the price from one gold coin to nine hundred gold coins all of a sudden, no matter how rich he is, he doesn't spend it like this!"
"What do you know? For really good things, a gold coin is just a cover. That's a strategy of asking for a price! It's a good opportunity for rich people to show their status. Don't tell me, you want a Taoist boss to call out five Is it a number like gold coins or ten gold coins?"
"Oh... So that's the case. From what you said, although this Ye Zifeng doesn't know how to make alchemy, he has a very active mind and has the potential to be a drug dealer!"
The boss of Xuanmen personally called for the price, even if some people want this Zengyuan Pill, they have to weigh it, whether doing so will offend the boss.
For a while, there was silence everywhere, and no one dared to call out a higher price.
Except, Liang Jiu!
"Nine hundred and one gold coins..."
Liang Jiu's voice was trembling, and he felt like a frail and sickly person, but seeing his rough appearance, he was just quoting a price, so he shouldn't tremble like this.
"One thousand gold coins!" The boss of Xuanmen frowned slightly, then stretched it out immediately, and quoted a new round of prices.
"One thousand... one thousand and one gold coins..." Liang Jiu's expression was extremely painful, as if someone had taken a knife and twisted it back and forth on his heart.
"Twelve hundred gold coins..."
The expression of the Xuanmen boss gradually began to become a little unfriendly. If ordinary people knew that he was from the Xuanmen, they would respect him three points and give him a piece of noodles, but every time this Liang Jiu raised his price, he He only added one gold coin to his foundation, and it was obvious that he was going to fight against himself!
"One thousand two hundred and one gold coins..."
Sure enough, Liang Jiu once again added another gold coin to the price quoted by the Taoist boss, shouting "It's a loss, a loss".
When Ye Zifeng bet against him before, he took out 1,200 gold coins as a bet, but now Liang Jiu not only can't win the gold coins, but instead put in so much money, it was the money pooled together by several brothers.
The Xuanmen boss finally changed his face, and gave Liang Jiu a cold look: "Brother, what do you mean you want to grab this pill from me?"
Liang Jiu smiled wryly, with helplessness on his face: "Boss, I don't want to do this either, but I can't help it!"
"What do you mean there is no way? Well, I will offer 1,500 gold coins. If you have the ability, you can add another gold coin and try!" Between the words of the boss, it was obvious that a certain amount of anger was aroused.
"Then... 1,501 gold coins." Liang Jiu's face was ugly, as if his parents had died, and he could only hate meeting Ye Zifeng and making this damn blood contract in his heart.
"You..." The face of the Xuanmen boss turned extremely pale in an instant, no matter how rich he is, judging from the other party's appearance, it seems that he is going to spend his life with him.
