Chapter 380 Dragon Fish
The auctioneer walked onto the stage, cleared his throat, and said with a smile, “Dear guests, welcome to this auction.
Today we have prepared many precious items for you, and we hope that everyone can get what they like.
Without further ado, let’s start with our first lot.”
As the auctioneer finished speaking, a tray was brought up by the waiter.
There was an antique jade bottle on the tray.
The auctioneer picked up the jade bottle and showed it to everyone: "This is a bottle of Bigu Pill, made from precious medicinal materials such as hundred-year-old ginseng and thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum.
For cultivators in the Qi Refining Stage, taking it can greatly save wasted time and allow them to spend all their time on cultivation.
There are three of these Bigu Pills, and the starting price is five million."
When everyone heard the price, they all started talking about it.
Some cultivators in the Qi Refining Stage showed eager looks in their eyes and began to raise their placards to bid.
Huo Qinghuang had no interest in this at all. She was about to condense her Nascent Soul, and this kind of fasting pill was of no use to her.
What's more, there is a ready-made alchemist around, so can I have as many fasting pills as I want?
Soon, the jade bottle was auctioned off to a young monk for 15 million yuan.
"So expensive? If I refine more Bigu Pills, won't I be able to become the richest man in the world soon?"
Huo Lingfeng smacked his lips, greatly shocked.
"When I come back from the northwest, I will teach you how to make the Marrow Cleansing Pill."
Huo Qinghuang said lightly.
"Marrow Cleansing Pill? What are its effects?"
Huo Lingfeng's attention was instantly diverted and he asked quickly.
"Cleanse your essence and marrow, change your physique, and make it easier to practice."
Huo Qinghuang's words were brief and to the point, but Huo Lingfeng became more energetic and his eyes sparkled.
He had wanted to practice cultivation for a long time, but due to his poor talent, he had not been able to embark on the path of cultivation.
But if I had the marrow cleansing pill, everything would be fine!
"Sister, you must come back soon!"
He grabbed Huo Qinghuang's hand and spoke sincerely.
“…”
The corner of Huo Qinghuang's mouth twitched slightly, and he pulled his hand out with force.
At this time, the auctioneer continued to show the next item, which was a fragment of an ancient cultivation method.
Huo Qinghuang took a quick glance and found that the content on the fragment of the martial arts scroll was only half of the sword-controlling technique, and only the first volume at that.
So continue to remain silent.
In this way, one item after another was displayed and sold.
Huo Qinghuang never made a bid until an item appeared and attracted her attention.
It was a gray stone and looked inconspicuous.
"Everyone, this auction item is a piece of ancient strange stone!"
The auctioneer lifted the red silk and said, "This item is impervious to water and fire, and hard to be damaged by swords and knives. The starting price is one million!"
Huo Qinghuang's pupils shrank slightly.
This stone looked very ordinary, and no one would pick it up if it was thrown on the roadside, but she could feel the aura it exuded, exactly the same as the stone in her hand.
"Brother, look at that stone."
Huo Qinghuang pointed at the stone on the stage and said to Huo Lingfeng.
Huo Lingfeng took a look and shook his head: "I can't see anything special. Do you think it's different?"
Huo Qinghuang nodded: "The aura of this stone is very similar to the one in my hand. I want to take a picture of it."
As he spoke, Huo Qinghuang raised his sign and shouted out a price.
"One million and a half."
Her actions attracted the attention of some people. A few wealthy people, in order to not leave empty-handed, wanted to bid for something and so they also started bidding.
So after a few wealthy people in the back row whispered to each other, one of the bald men held up a sign: "Two million!"
There was a sudden silence in the venue.
A monk gasped and tried hard to wink at the bald man.
Huo Qinghuang was not angry and continued to bid with a calm expression.
Those mortal tycoons didn't know her, but those cultivators or warriors had basically heard of her name and seen her photo.
So I was really worried about the bald man.
These people are ignorant and fearless. They actually dare to bid with this female devil. Aren’t they afraid that she will wipe out their entire family in the blink of an eye?
"Two and a half million."
Huo Qinghuang spoke in a calm tone.
"Three million!"
The bald man was not to be outdone.
The auctioneer was delighted.
I thought this stone would go unsold, but I didn't expect that someone would actually bid for it.
"Five million."
Huo Qinghuang didn't even raise her eyes.
At this time, a white-haired old man gritted his teeth, glanced at Huo Qinghuang, and seeing that she was not paying attention here, he quickly leaned over and whispered something in the bald man's ear.
The man's face turned pale instantly and the sign in his hand fell to the ground with a "thump".
"Five, five million at a time!"
The auctioneer wiped his sweat and said, "Deal!"
When the waiter brought the stone to the box, Huo Qinghuang's fingertips just touched the surface of the stone, and the stone suddenly glowed faintly.
"What kind of stone is this that can actually glow?"
Huo Lingfeng exclaimed, his eyes full of curiosity.
Huo Qinghuang did not say anything. She discovered that another stone in her cave actually resonated with it at this moment!
"interesting……"
She took out the original stone thoughtfully and put the two stones together. They slowly merged and mysterious flame-like patterns appeared on the surface.
But other than that, there was no movement.
"Never mind. One day, I will reveal your true identity."
Huo Qinghuang shook his head and threw the stone back into the Shenhuang Cave.
The auction continued, and soon another item caught Huo Qinghuang's attention.
It was a huge glass tank containing a monster with a human head and a fish body.
This monster had an extremely beautiful woman's face, and its hair floated in the water like seaweed.
"Deep-sea mermaid! Tears can turn into pearls, and flesh and blood can prolong life! Starting price is 100 million!"
The whole audience was in an uproar.
The wealthy people raised their hands frantically and the price quickly soared to 500 million.
Huo Qinghuang frowned.
What kind of mermaid is this?
It's clearly a dragon fish!
And looking at the faint golden line on its forehead, it is indeed a dragon fish with real dragon blood!
Dragon fish is also recorded in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" of this world, which is the so-called fish-wife beast.
When she saw the dragon fish, she thought of Ao Jiu.
Ao Jiu is a real dragon, and this dragon fish can be considered a descendant of his bloodline. Thinking that she still owes Ao Jiu a favor, she plans to take a picture of the dragon fish and give it to him as a reward.
So, Huo Qinghuang raised the sign and bid again.
This time, the bidding was more intense.
Those who thought it was a mermaid and wanted to obtain the mermaid's legendary magical powers started to raise the price.
Huo Qinghuang was not in a hurry and followed closely behind.
As prices continued to rise, some people gradually withdrew from the bidding.
But there are still a few people who refuse to give up and continue to compete with Huo Qinghuang.
Among them, the middle-aged man whose hair was shot off by Huo Qinghuang had greed in his eyes, and he seemed determined to get the dragon fish.
This man's name is Li Cheng. He looks young, but he is actually over 60 years old. He is also one of the richest people in Hong Kong.
"Little girl, I advise you to give up. I'm determined to get this mermaid."
Li Cheng looked at Huo Qinghuang with a threatening tone in his voice.
Huo Qinghuang glanced at him calmly: "Do you think you have the right to threaten me?"
Li Cheng was stunned. He didn't expect Huo Qinghuang to be so tough.
But he was unwilling to give up and continued to raise the price.
Huo Qinghuang didn't waste any words and directly quoted a price that shocked everyone.
"Eight billion!"
Li Cheng's face changed. He gritted his teeth and finally gave up the bidding.
Huo Qinghuang successfully took a picture of this dragon fish. She had the water tank delivered to the Huo family’s old house, and planned to find an opportunity to give it to Ao Jiu.
After the auction ended, Huo Qinghuang and Huo Lingfeng continued to wander around the venue.
Perhaps it is not easy to hold such an auction, so most of the monks did not leave and continued to set up stalls, which were filled with all kinds of strange and weird things.
