Facts have proved that Lu Anjun and others were right.
As soon as they sat down, the heads of the families in the hall began to discuss in groups.
"What is City Lord Tang thinking? It's fine if he doesn't want to come to Luoshui City, but why let outsiders come?" An old man said dissatisfiedly. "
It's a piaoyun sect that is a top-grade sect. Aren't you afraid of being ridiculed by others for coming to take advantage of the Luo family without any relatives or friends?" The old man next to him also said indignantly.
In fact, if we talk about taking advantage, they, the sects and families, are also taking advantage by coming to participate in the Luo family auction.
But if you talk about it in detail, the situation is still a little different. They have been friends with the Luo family for many years, and they have received a lot of favors from them in the years of Luo's decline.
So strictly speaking, the Luo family holding this auction is also a return to them. After all, the Luo family is gone, some industries cannot be taken away, and some natural treasures are not suitable to be taken to the secular world. Instead of giving advantage to outsiders, it is better to give advantage to these close friends.
So, they took this advantage with peace of mind.
But what kind of relationship does Piaoyun Sect have with the Luo family? Why do they come to take advantage of this?
"It's probably because of the Shendan Pavilion. You may have heard that the first Pavilion Master of Shendan Pavilion was from Piaoyun Sect, so the later generations all regarded themselves as disciples of Piaoyun Sect.
Piaoyun Sect has been declining in recent years, and it is said that it can survive until today thanks to the unremitting support of Shendan Pavilion.
City Lord Tang probably doesn't want to see Shendan Pavilion being dragged down by Piaoyun Sect, so he wants to help them." Someone guessed. "
Yes, Shendan Pavilion is the first Dan Pavilion in Fenglan City after all. If they are dragged down by Piaoyun Sect, City Lord Tang will not look good." Someone echoed. "
Alas, the former Piaoyun Sect was also a top-grade sect with a destiny in the spiritual realm. I didn't expect it to fall to such a point." Someone else sighed.
He glanced at Gu Qingxi and others with sympathy in his eyes.
"Forget it, just treat it as a good relationship. Anyway, the current situation of Piaoyun Sect can't take advantage of it. Maybe in the future, when they go to the secular world, they can still take care of the Luo family." After hearing what they said, the faces of the two old men looked a little better.
No wonder they were despised, it turned out to be this reason. After hearing their discussion, Gu Qingxi suddenly realized.
However, her expression did not change much, neither dissatisfaction nor anger.
According to City Lord Tang, she came to the auction of the Luo family to pick up bargains, there was nothing to argue.
Besides, she didn't want to pick up this bargain for nothing. Even for the sake of City Lord Tang, she would not treat the Luo family unfairly.
Xiao Fangqing, Lu Anjun, Du Jiuling and others looked embarrassed.
It was obvious that everyone thought that Piaoyun Sect could not continue, and sooner or later, like the Luo family, they would withdraw from the spiritual realm and go to the secular world. Otherwise, how could they take care of each other with the Luo family?
What they called a good relationship might as well be called alms.
But even though it was awkward, they couldn't refute it.
Although they had already determined that as long as Gu Qingxi was there, Piaoyun Sect would be able to regain its former glory. But that was all in the future. The current Piaoyun Sect was indeed a little weak, and it was no wonder that others misunderstood.
"Master, it's almost time, why don't we start now?" Seeing that it was getting dark, an old man who looked like a housekeeper said to Master Luo.
"Let's start." Master Luo nodded in response. In fact, the
Luo
family invited many more sects and noble families than those in the hall, but many people were proud of their status and didn't want to be accused of taking advantage of others' misfortunes, so they didn't want to participate. They didn't refuse out of consideration.
Master Luo had waited until now but those sects and noble families didn't come. He roughly guessed what they were thinking, so there was no need to wait any longer.
"My fellow Taoists, I believe you all know the origin of today's auction, so I won't say much.
The Luo family has been through many ups and downs over the years, but it has always stood firm, all thanks to your help, so you don't have to worry about anything, just bid for whatever you like." The head of the Luo family walked towards the temporary auction platform and said generously.
Then he turned around and gestured to the younger generation of the Luo family next to him.
Soon, the first item was delivered to the auction platform.
This is a semi-god sword, named Qinghong Demon Slaying Sword.
Even in the spiritual realm, long swords of this level are not too common, and what's more rare is that this semi-god sword is very well preserved. As
soon as the wooden box containing the Qinghong Demon Slaying Sword was opened, there was a burst of exclamations in the hall.
Without the head of the Luo family introducing more, everyone bid one after another.
If you want to survive in the spiritual realm, the most important thing is strength. Even if the friendship between the sects and families is deep, they will not give in when it comes to disputes over interests.
Moreover, the higher their bids, the more beneficial it is for the Luo family. If they were to yield to each other, wouldn't that mean they were joining hands to harm the Luo family?
Ten million, fifteen million, sixteen million, twenty million, twenty-five million, thirty million... fifty million!
After a fierce competition, the Qinghong Sword was finally sold for fifty million high-grade spirit stones.
The head of the family who won the semi-god sword was naturally overjoyed, and the head of the Luo family was also very satisfied with the result.
The Luo family returned to the secular world, and although the natural materials and treasures of the world were important, the most important thing for the family to be stable and long-lasting was the spirit stones.
After the head of the family put away the Qinghong Sword, the others congratulated him and the auction continued.
However, in comparison, the following items were much worse. This was normal. The Luo family had not fallen to the point of having to settle in the secular world. How many magical weapons like the Qinghong Sword could they have? Even
if there were, they couldn't take them all out at once, otherwise they would exhaust everyone's interest at the beginning. What should they do next?
Of course, the so-called much worse was only relative to the Qinghong Sword.
The magic tools and treasures that the Luo family brought out later were still extraordinary items for most of the sects and families, so the auction was not dull.
"Seven million."
"Eight million."
"Ten million."
"..."
The hall was filled with noise and the sound of bidding was endless.
While bidding, everyone did not forget the group of people from Piaoyun Sect. But what surprised them was that until now, no one from Piaoyun Sect had spoken.
"Didn't the Piaoyun Sect come here to pick up bargains? Why haven't they made any moves?" An old man lowered his voice and asked in confusion during the auction.
"Could it be that they think these items are too low-quality and don't like them?" Someone speculated.
"What a joke! With the current situation of the Piaoyun Sect, do you think they are still qualified to be picky?" Another old man sneered, not hiding his contempt for the Piaoyun Sect.
"Could it be that they don't have money?" The previous man speculated again.
