Chapter 459 The Heroine is a Divine Confession (Sixty-two)
In the first half of the auction, Hou Xinting and the little paper figurine stole the show.
All the burial objects brought in the suitcase were replaced with natural treasures such as medicinal herbs, jade, animal blood and bones.
As the auction progressed and more and more items were auctioned, Hou Xinting, after being excited and proud, began to worry: "With so many valuable treasures, can I, can I still bring them to Senior Gu safely?"
It is a crime to possess a treasure!
There were so many people at the venue, and they all saw him shouting out prices frantically.
Everybody knows that he made good stuff.
Wow, it’s no exaggeration to say that these treasures combined are priceless.
Hou Xinting is a country boy with no skills at all, he, he really can't protect him.
Even though there was a little paper man, he looked quite violent and could kick a Xuanmen person away with one kick.
But no matter how awesome the little paper man is, there is only one.
Besides, it's just a little paper figure after all.
Hou Xinting was worried that the good things he had taken pictures of for Senior Gu would attract the covetousness of many people.
Oh, by the way, there are also the disciples from Mount Longhu who I met in the lobby before.
They were knocked down in public by the little paper man, and they lost all their face and dignity.
Even if they themselves don't dare to retaliate, their fellow disciples and the masters behind them probably won't let it go.
For money, for revenge, if they attack in groups -
"Hou Xinting, why are you shaking? You're so grown up, can't you even sit still?"
The little paper man sat on Hou Xinting's shoulder and felt him shivering, and suddenly felt a little unhappy.
Hou Xinting glanced at the auction table and saw that the auction was still going on.
"This is lot number 23, a high-level yellow-grade evil-repelling talisman. The starting price is two million, and the bid will increase by two hundred thousand each time..."
Perhaps they really took pictures of some valuable things that the people in the Xuanmen sect valued more, and the atmosphere in the venue became lively.
Hou Xinting looked around again and found that even the south building was participating in the auction.
Very good, everyone is paying attention to the items, so no one is paying attention to him.
Hou Xinting then lowered his voice and whispered to the little paper man, "Senior, I'm scared!"
The little paper man curled his lips: "What are you afraid of? Don't you still have me?"
Hou Xinting smiled bitterly, "Senior, you are indeed very powerful. But, but greed is even more powerful!"
We really can’t underestimate human greed.
To put it bluntly, Hou Xinting even guarded the building next to him.
The little paper man became more and more disdainful, "Greed? Don't worry, I'm an expert in treating greed."
Hou Xinting: ...My dear, even though you are so awesome, we have to be realistic.
Hou Xinting's "whispering" with the little paper man attracted Lou Xiangnan's attention.
He was indeed more interested in talismans and so he called out prices a few times.
But when the value of the talisman soared to 10 million, he gave up.
High-level yellow-grade talismans are indeed rare. If Lou Xiangnan had not met the ancestor, master, and disciple of Danxia Temple, he would definitely have obtained it.
But since he met these people, and saw Chi Powang drawing talismans in the void, and Chi Qiaomu using a large number of high-level yellow-level talismans, Lou Xiangnan suddenly felt that -
This high-level yellow talisman doesn't seem to be that valuable.
Lou Xiangnan has actively recruited Chi Qiaomu into the Extraordinary Office, and the girl's entry procedures have been completed.
With a talisman master like Chi Qiaomu, how could there be a lack of talismans? Instead of driving up the prices here, it is better to save the money and give it directly to Chi Qiaomu.
Even the difference earned by the middleman (auction house) can be saved! Chi Qiaomu: ...Yes! Mr. Lou, you are right.
As a "country bumpkin", Chi Qiaomu really didn't know the price of the talismans he drew.
The Extraordinary Office offered to purchase each talisman from Chi Qiaomu at a price of five million plus 100 contribution points. When Chi Qiaomu heard this for the first time, he was so happy that he went crazy.
Hahahaha, five million, and that’s just “each coin”.
There are also 100 contribution points, which can be exchanged for rare treasures, magical tools, spiritual tools and other good things in the extraordinary treasure house.
Chi Qiaomu believed that with her hand speed, she could draw until she went bankrupt! And her wish to build a Taoist temple could also be completed in the shortest time.
It can be said that in the "transaction" between Lou Xiangnan and Chi Qiaomu, both the buyer and the seller felt that they had benefited from it, and it was a complete win-win situation.
With Chi Qiaomu and the relationship with the two big bosses of Danxia Temple, Lou Xiangnan became more and more disdainful of the talismans in the underground auction.
He stopped bidding and looked around leisurely.
Then he saw the scene of Hou Xinting and the little paper man whispering to each other.
"Hou, Hou Xinting?"
This should be the name. Lou Xiangnan didn’t really pay much attention to a tomb robber.
The reason why I can remember the three words "Hou Xinting" is because he is the "spokesperson" chosen by Gu Qingcheng.
"Lou Chu!"
When Hou Xinting heard Lou Xiangnan's voice, he was startled.
He subconsciously sat up straight, turned his head, and asked respectfully, "What do you want?"
This guy is a very capable boss.
He has high cultivation and prestige. Although he is young, he is definitely the number one person in the Tianchao Xuanmen! Before, Hou Xinting didn't even have the qualifications to come close to the building.
Now, he was actually sitting together with the famous Lou Chu. God knew what kind of state his ancestral tomb had to be blown up into to have such a blessing.
"..."Lou Xiangnan couldn't help but laugh when he saw Hou Xinting acting like a well-behaved student in class.
"Relax, I'm just chatting with you!"
Lou Xiangnan's attitude was gentle, but Hou Xinting did not dare to be too relaxed.
He still sat upright, with his hands on his knees, "You, you say!"
Lou Xiangnan: ...Forget it! It's up to him to take whatever attitude he wants.
Not wanting to persuade him any further, Lou Xiangnan went straight to the point, "Are you chatting with Senior Gu? Are you interested in this yellow-level talisman?"
It shouldn't be like this!
Chi Qiaomu, as the third generation of Danxia Temple and with the lowest cultivation level, can draw high-level yellow-grade talismans.
Chi Powang and Gu Qingcheng, the master and apprentice, as the first and second generation, will only become more awesome.
Would they still take such "low-level" talismans seriously?
"ah?"
Hou Xinting was stunned. What yellow-level talisman? Or a little paper man? He turned around and said directly to Lou Xiangnan, "Who wants a yellow-level talisman? Director Lou, this kid is scared."
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Lou Xiangnan: ...
This was his first time chatting with the little paper man at close range.
It's obviously just a paper figure, but for some reason, when I see it, the image of a beautiful loli appears in my mind.
"Greetings, Senior Gu!"
Lou Xiangnan first politely greeted the little paper man before asking, "Are you scared?"
What is Hou Xinting afraid of? When this question came to Lou Xiangnan's mind, he guessed it almost the next second, "Is Hou Xinting worried that someone will 'steal the treasure'?"
Yes, indeed!
Hou Xinting bought so many rare treasures for Senior Gu. One of them may not be very eye-catching, but when all of them are added together, they are really exciting.
As for Hou Xinting, he was just an errand boy and had no accomplishments at all.
It's perfectly normal for him to be afraid.
"Please rest assured, senior. I am willing to..."
Before Lou Xiangnan could finish his words, the little paper figurine waved his hand and said, "No need to trouble you, Mr. Lou!"
"Since I dared to let Hou Xinting come to the auction, I will naturally find a way to protect her."
Hou Xinting's heart was up and down.
When I heard Lou Xiangnan's words just now, I wanted to breathe a sigh of relief: Hey, with the extraordinary Lou Chu protecting me, I will naturally be safe and worry-free.
As a result, before he could feel relieved for too long, he heard the little paper man's refusal.
Hou Xinting wanted to kneel down to the little paper man: Ancestor! Little aunt! I know you are powerful, but wouldn’t it be good to have an extra helper? Why do you have to refuse?
As if it could understand Hou Xinting's thoughts, the little paper figurine glanced at him and said calmly, "I don't want to owe you a favor for nothing!"
"Master said that practitioners are most afraid of the words 'cause and effect'."
“It’s not good to ask others to do something that I can do myself.”
The little paper man's words were full of arrogance.
Lou Xiangnan raised his eyebrows. It was indeed Senior Gu's puppet. The way he spoke and acted was exactly the same as the real person.
It’s strange to say, as everyone had had direct contact in the underground palace before.
But there, Lou Xiangnan didn't have much impression of Gu Qingcheng.
Now, with a little paper figure between them, Lou Xiangnan didn’t see the real person, but he felt that the image of a violent loli was extremely profound.
"Senior Gu's breath-retaining technique is indeed amazing!"
Lou Xiangnan was sincerely amazed at Gu Qingcheng's high level of cultivation.
Inexplicably, Lou Xiangnan, as the official boss of Xuanmen, had this idea for the first time: Come on, let's send a few more blind people to cause trouble for Hou Xinting.
He didn't want to watch the fun, but wanted to see with his own eyes how high Gu Qingcheng's cultivation had reached.
Thousands of miles away, how will Gu Qingcheng, who is far away in Danxia Temple, protect her little follower and so many treasures?
Fortunately, Hou Xinting didn't know what Lou Xiangnan was thinking, otherwise, his filter and admiration for the number one person in Xuanmen would have been shattered.
The second half of the auction was basically filled with "high-end goods" such as talismans, magical instruments, and even broken spiritual instruments.
Those true followers of the Taoism come here for these items.
Therefore, the second half of the auction was particularly intense.
While the guests were bidding frantically, they were also a little curious: Huh? Why didn't the wealthy client who used the magic tool to exchange for medicinal materials just now bid any more?
"No money left!"
“I guess this is the first time I’ve come to this kind of auction, I didn’t know that the good stuff is all in the back!”
"Haha, that's right! How can a country boy like you have any knowledge?"
Some people were confused, some mocked, and some gloated.
Of course, more people are greedy.
As for the disciples from Mount Longhu, they have already contacted their respective teachers and fellow seniors.
They will take action as soon as the auction is over and Hou Xinting, the country bumpkin, completes the transaction with the auction house.
…
Two hours later, after the experts completed the appraisal, the auction house completed the transaction with Hou Xinting.
A large bag of burial objects was exchanged for a large bag of rare treasures.
It was only then that Hou Xinting saw the true appearance of the "suitcase". It was just a piece of black cloth! What a powerful "eye-catching trick" that even a master like him could not see through.
Lou Xiangnan became more and more curious about what would happen next...
