Chapter 46 Youling City Auction (V)
Xia Qin smiled slightly and continued, "The lowest grade of the Purple Phoenix Sacred Talisman is the fifth grade, and it requires at least a sixth-grade Talisman Master to make it. When this talisman is sent out, it can summon the Purple Phoenix phantom for a quarter of an hour. The strength of the Purple Phoenix changes with the grade of the talisman itself. If it is of the fifth grade, then its strength is at the fifth level."
As soon as these words were spoken, quite a number of people became restless, especially the Zhao family, who mainly sold talismans.
A fifth-level divine bird is comparable to a sixth-level demon beast! A fourth-level demon beast is equivalent to the peak of foundation building, and a fifth-level demon beast is equivalent to the middle stage of golden elixir!
"Fourth brother, we must take a picture of this jade slip!"
With this Purple Phoenix Holy Talisman, the Zhao family's talisman shop will be able to reach a higher level.
However, Zhao Baili couldn't help but look towards Xu Qiuqian, feeling a little worried, fearing that the jade slip was provided by Xu Qiuqian, especially after hearing that the provider of the auction item was not allowed to reveal his identity for the time being.
Zhao Wen has already picked up the sign and is ready to bid. He believes that the Zhao family will definitely get this jade slip!
"The starting price of this auction item is 50,000 Spiritual Stones, 10,000 plus!"
"One hundred thousand!" Zhao Wen directly offered a price of one hundred thousand.
For a moment, other shops that were ready to make a move gave up. Even if they could come up with 100,000, they did not want to offend the Zhao family on the one hand, and on the other hand they thought that the Purple Phoenix Sacred Talisman required at least a sixth-grade talisman master, so they backed off.
Zhao Wen is determined to win.
After bidding the price, he bowed to the people from the big families nearby with a smile on his face.
"Everyone, thank you for your kindness. I would like to thank you first."
As soon as the words were spoken, someone raised a sign.
"No. 223 bids an additional 10,000! The current price of this auction item is 110,000 Spiritual Stones!"
The smile on Zhao Wen's face suddenly disappeared.
Looking at No. 223, his face darkened.
Xu Qiuqian also looked over and found that it was a person she didn't know, but Chen Wei did know him.
"This is someone from the An family. The An family also sells talismans. It is said that fifty years ago, the An family and the Zhao family were similar. At that time, they obtained a recipe for making talismans, but it was eventually obtained by the Zhao family, and the two families became enemies. But since then, the Zhao family has prospered and has married the Ying family. No matter how dissatisfied the An family is, they can only endure it."
No wonder the other major families did not make an offer, but the An family did.
"An Xu, do you really want to go against me?!" Zhao Wen said in a gloomy voice.
An Xu is the current patriarch of the An family. When he heard Zhao Wen's threat, his expression was indifferent: "The highest bidder wins. The An family dare not go against the Zhao family."
"Good, very good!"
Zhao Wen raised his sign.
"No. 185 bids an additional 10,000! The current price of this auction item is 120,000 Spiritual Stones!"
"No. 223 bids an additional 10,000! The current price of this auction item is 130,000 Spiritual Stones!"
"No. 185, the price has increased by 10,000..."
Finally, when Zhao Wen offered 300,000, An Xu gave up.
There is no other way. Although they can come up with so much money, the An family has already declined. Even if they can come up with 300,000, although the An family has a fifth-rank talisman master, drawing talismans is not that easy. It may take several years to complete the task. The An family cannot afford that.
Zhao Wen smiled proudly.
Although it cost an extra 200,000 yuan, it was worth it to be able to deal a blow to the An family! Just as Xia Qin was about to announce that the auction item belonged to Zhao Wen, someone hurriedly walked onto the stage and whispered in Xia Qin's ear.
Xia Qin frowned.
"He really said that?"
"right."
"Okay, I understand."
After the person left, Xia Qin looked up and apologized to Zhao Wen.
"Sorry, the person who provided the auction item said that it will not be sold to the Zhao family. The auction will be reopened with a starting price of 50,000 and an increase of 10,000!"
"What do you mean?" Zhao Wen was immediately furious. "Tell me clearly what you mean by not selling it to the Zhao family!"
Xia Qin frowned and said coldly: "Fellow Daoist Zhao Wen, this is an auction, please abide by the rules. If you break the rules, we will have no choice but to ask you to leave the auction."
Zhao Wen didn't care what Xia Qin said.
He immediately released his spiritual consciousness and used his magic weapon.
The monks with low cultivation levels didn't react in time and were affected. They covered their heads and cried out in pain.
Chen Zhuozheng reacted very quickly and immediately used his spiritual sense to resist, preventing Xu Qiuqian and the others from being affected.
After a few breaths, an even more powerful spiritual consciousness rushed over, avoiding the others and stabbed towards Zhao Wen. Zhao Wen immediately screamed and knelt down.
Zhao Baili looked at Zhao Wen, a trace of disgust flashed across his eyes, "Take the second brother back."
The Zhao family's servants helped Zhao Wen up and left.
The farce ended very quickly and the lobby suddenly became much quieter.
No one knew where that powerful spiritual consciousness came from.
Xia Qin was also puzzled. She hadn't asked anyone to make a move yet, so how come Zhao Wen fell first? But the most important thing was that the auction continued.
"The sixth auction item is open again, starting at 50,000, and increasing by 10,000!"
An Xu raised the sign without thinking.
Without Zhao Wen, several other major families and other shops also tried to bid.
"Hahaha, this is so funny. He doesn't really think this is his home and he can do whatever he wants here!" Chen Wei applauded.
Chen Zhuozheng scolded: "Wei'er, don't be rude!"
Chen Wei curled his lips and said nothing more. Chen Zhuo was looking at Xu Qiuqian.
"Manager Xu, are you okay?"
Xu Qiu smiled and thanked him: "I'm fine, thank you Patriarch Chen for what I just did."
“It should be.”
Seeing Xu Qiuqian looking towards the stage, Chen Zhuo was looking away and recalling what had just happened.
Who had sent out that powerful divine consciousness just now? He seemed to feel that it was sent from his direction just now.
That spiritual consciousness has at least the strength of the peak of the foundation building stage. It is impossible for it to be Xu Qiuqian. Xu Qiuqian’s spiritual roots are damaged and he is no different from an ordinary person.
Who is it...?
I'm afraid only Yun Yi knows the answer.
He just saw the store manager take out a needle from his sleeve and flick it at where Zhao Wen was. Zhao Wen screamed and covered his head in pain.
He didn't think there was anything wrong.
If it were him, he would only do it more thoroughly.
Soon, the Purple Phoenix Sacred Talisman was bought by the An family for 150,000 spirit stones. The moment An Xu received the jade slip, his hands were shaking. He couldn't believe that he had obtained it.
He looked at the person who handed him the jade slip and couldn't help asking him, "Can you tell me who sold this jade slip?"
If he knows who it is, he must thank the other person!
This person was just a waiter, and he said apologetically: "Sorry, I don't know either."
Everyone thought that the Purple Phoenix Sacred Talisman was an extremely rare item in this auction.
The seventh auction item was brought onto the stage, but not on a tray. Instead, it was led onto the stage by someone. It was about two meters tall and looked very ferocious.
Everyone's attention was drawn to it, especially the Ying family.
"What is this? Is this a spirit beast?"
"This spirit beast is too ugly!"
"No matter if it's ugly or not, this spirit beast is at the peak of the third level and will soon be at the fourth level!!"
"The provider of the seventh auction item is still unable to tell us. This spiritual beast is called the Blue Gold Eyed Beast, it is at the peak of the third level, has extremely strong attack power and high defense, and can be used as a mount. The starting price is fifty thousand, and the price will increase every ten thousand!"
The Ying family is gearing up and determined to win.
Xu Qiu smiled but said nothing.
