Chapter 175: In full view of the public! Shopkeeper Jin didn’t care about what was going on…
Manager Jin didn't care at all about the discussions on the ship below. Instead, he completely agreed with the decision of his young master. Although the young master was sometimes quite willful, he acted in an orderly manner and was definitely not the kind of person who would abuse his power indiscriminately.
The building ship at the top of the mountain.
Yang Ling was naturally also paying attention to every move of the auction below. He listened to Manager Jin's words in full and was very satisfied. He couldn't help but nodded slightly. Fortunately, it was worth it for him to specially send Manager Jin over.
Shopkeeper Jin is able to keep the situation under control.
As for the discussion among the group of people below, he was too lazy to explain. He believed that smart people would always know the price of this strange food.
"Xiao Que, are you sure you haven't been cheated? Is this really the effect of the strange food? Many people in power in small forces talk nonsense, even better than those merchants in Shizhu Village. Don't be fooled by their words." A strange man who looked quite imposing, somewhat similar to Young Master Yang Ling, and seemed to have some fire-attributed strange power around him asked.
This man had a faint red tint to his eyebrows and hair, and was very tall. Many of the servants on the ship respected and feared him.
What do you think? He is powerful even in Yangri Mountain.
Young Master Yang Ling was watching the auction below. When he heard his elders' words, he immediately rolled his eyes and said, "Do you mean that I will be fooled?"
"After all, it is the strange food of a small force..." the man touched his nose and said.
Young Master Yang Ling said coldly: "I agree because I have seen it. If Elder Yan doesn't believe it, you may as well continue to watch it."
After saying this, Young Master Yang Ling didn't say anything else.
He was afraid that he would lose his temper and use some tricks to burn people.
This was the main reason why Young Master Yang Ling seldom returned to Yangri Mountain. Apart from anything else, he was controlled by his nominal elders, who thought he knew nothing, tried to block his ideas, and were ready to intervene at any time in the name of helping him. This really hit Yang Ling's sore spot.
What Yang Ling hates most is people telling him what to do. Unfortunately, he can't do anything to these people right now and can only endure it temporarily.
The following auction officially begins.
Unexpectedly, everyone thought that this golden orange would fail to sell. After all, it was a strange food of a small force, which itself represented instability. Or there would be very few people bidding. After all, no matter how much people wanted it, they would know its value. Even if they could not help but want to buy it, the price should be lower.
However, there were unexpectedly many people attending the auction.
Most of the items being auctioned are upper and middle-level ships, and the value of the strange beads is constantly rising.
Thirty thousand mysterious beads.
Fifty thousand mysterious beads.
It almost immediately broke through to 80,000, and this number was rapidly approaching 100,000 at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"One hundred thousand and one hundred strange beads!" A voice came from a medium-sized building ship, and finally the soaring price of the strange beads broke through to one hundred thousand strange beads.
These are more than 100,000 Blood Grudge-level strange beads, which are equivalent to 100,000 Blood Grudge-level strange beasts. Of course, there can't be so many strange beasts, so they must be exchanged for strange food of equal value. But this price is almost three to four times that of ordinary Blood Grudge-level strange food.
Very scary.
Even the leaders Zhu Hui and Ban Lan on the ship above couldn't help but be surprised for a moment. This was the first batch of strange food. They originally thought that the price of the first batch of golden oranges would be a little lower. As for the cold reception of golden oranges, they had already expected it. Besides, wasn't the purpose of golden oranges appearing at the auction to establish their reputation among the major forces?
If it was just for the strange beads, and they were allowed to sell them directly as the two caravan leaders, they would definitely be able to sell a lot of strange beads, and the caravan would have a lot of connections.
"Oh? A bit surprised?" Zhu Hui raised his eyebrows and looked at the medium-sized building ship that had just spoken in confusion. Originally, he thought that at least a large building ship should offer this price.
"One hundred thousand strange beads, can a medium-sized force afford it?" Zhu Hui was a little confused. His territory was far away from here, and many forces were not familiar to him.
On the contrary, the leader of Banlan was much more familiar with the situation. He recognized the identity of the ship owner almost at a glance and said directly: "That person should be from Zhendao."
"Although Hazel Island is nominally a medium-sized force, it is also due to special reasons. As you can tell from the name, their signature weird food is hazel trees. Most of these weird plants are tall trees that take a long time to grow. Even if a few grow, the output is very small. It takes a certain amount of time for the weird food output to be stable."
Banlan opened his mouth and told everything he knew, saying: "In theory, Hazel Island should have been a medium-sized force, but so much time has passed, those hazel trees and plants must have grown quite a lot, at least close to a large force."
"And if I'm not mistaken, the person in that ship should be the wife of the third young master of the Qin family. She is a guishi from a large force and has quite a few guizhu. One hundred thousand is indeed something she can afford."
"It is said that the third young master of the Qin family has an only son who is eccentric by nature and cannot awaken his talent. He has tried many methods but to no avail. I am afraid this is the reason why they came here this time."
After listening to this, Zhu Hui suddenly realized that this actually made sense.
Wait? Wait?… Zhu Hui paused.
Zhu Hui then waved his hand behind him. Zhu Bai, who had been behind him, stepped forward without hesitation, looked at him puzzledly, and asked what was going on.
"You, go and ask if Mrs. Qin San can take it directly after the auction, preferably in public. I can guarantee that no one will hurt her child during the whole process. Even outside of Jinxin Trading Company, there will always be someone to protect them until their talent is fully awakened." Zhu Hui said to Zhu Bai.
Zhu Hui just had an inspiration by chance. Since he had to take it anyway, he might as well show him the effect of the golden tangerine.
Zhu Hui could figure out with his brain how much a powerful force that is about to be promoted to a large one values its successor. At least it would not allow the third generation in power to fail to awaken their talents. It was obvious that Zhendao was a place with fierce competition. There were several young masters, and if one fell behind, the others would only want to step on him.
When it comes to cultivation resources among the cunning warriors, it's truly the law of the jungle.
Otherwise, it would be impossible for Mrs. Qin San to come here alone.
Zhu Hui bet that the other party could not refuse his proposal.
Thinking of this, Zhu Hui touched his chin with a smile. This is a win-win situation for all three parties. The other party gets the talent, they get the strange pearl, and Lord Chongshan gets the fame. Very good, very good.
Zhu Bai's eyes rolled and he understood what Zhu Hui meant, and he agreed very much. Nonsense! Zhu Bai couldn't help getting angry when he heard people talking about the effects of golden orange. What do you know about golden orange? Do you know how powerful this strange plant in the mountains is?
How much did their caravan eat from the strange food? How much? The reason why Zhu Hui, the unreliable man, never defeated the caravan every time was because he had the strange food.
Now the leader's intention is to put the role of golden orange in front of everyone, and Zhu Bai is eager to do so.
"Okay, I'll go right away!" Zhu Bai said without hesitation.
Soon, a new guest came to the medium-sized building ship below, came up to Mrs. Qin San and spoke a few words in detail. After getting a satisfactory answer, he slowly left.
The bidding was not certain even when it came to the last 100,000 or 110,000 strange beads.
The ship at the head of the auction made several bids in succession, and the price kept rising each time. It was not until the price reached 110,000 strange beads that the bidding sound reluctantly disappeared.
"..." Madam Qin San's face remained dignified, but she slowly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart. The stone in her heart was finally put down. It was just a little bit, really just a little bit, and the ghost beads would not be enough. The total amount she had prepared was only one hundred and twenty thousand, which was all the savings of the couple.
Fortunately, no one present was particularly interested in this weird food, so she was able to get the bargain at a pretty good price.
Madam Qin San originally believed in this golden orange strange food. After that Zhuhui leader specially sent someone over, Madam Qin San trusted the effect of this strange food even more.
"Ji'er, eat the strange food when you get it later." Madam Qin San looked at the golden oranges being auctioned not far away. Her slender hands slowly stroked her young son's long, smooth black hair. A trace of love flashed in her eyes as she spoke slowly.
Qin Ji, the young child, slowly raised his head when he heard his mother's words and looked at the other party calmly. After a moment, he nodded almost inaudibly.
This young child looked unusual at first glance, and even among so many people, he was the most conspicuous one.
Qin Ji slowly went down with his attendants and the people from Jinxin Trading Company. Madam Qin San followed closely behind him. She would not appear in front of everyone, but she was also worried about her young son.
As soon as Qin Ji came on the stage, everyone present who had some connection with Yuyao City recognized him.
"It's him!"
"So it's Zhendao!" Someone below said with sudden realization: "No wonder he offered such a high price, it's understandable. Qin Ji is ready to come up here? What does he want to do? He's not going to eat golden oranges in public, is he?" The Zhendao Qin family has some reputation in Yuyao City, especially the fact that the extremely talented Third Young Master Qin and his wife actually gave birth to a child with no talent at all, which makes people feel even more surprised.
But when Qin Ji took the initiative to appear, someone quickly realized that this time it was unusual, and they were very confused when they spoke.
Manager Jin had received the news a long time ago, so this time when he saw the child in front of him and the respectful maid behind him, he was no exception. His smile was still gentle, and even when he saw Qin Ji, his aura became much kinder.
"Young Master Qin, do you want to consume this golden tangerine now?" asked Shopkeeper Jin.
Qin Ji nodded calmly, looked up, and took the golden orange from Manager Jin's hand.
Qin Ji remembered what Manager Jin had said before. He slowly peeled the peel of the golden tangerine. The golden peel fell to the ground, forming a golden patch. He swallowed the fresh flesh into his mouth with an expressionless face.
He swallowed two golden tangerines slowly. When he picked up the third golden tangerine, he paused as if he sensed something.
After a moment, Qin Ji continued to peel the golden tangerines. This time, his movements were much slower.
After swallowing all three golden oranges, Qin Ji simply sat cross-legged on the auction table and began to digest the strange power of the strange food.
Shopkeeper Jin smiled and had no intention of stopping him.
All the evil spirits in the ship did not raise any objection, and their eyes were also fixed on the little child in the center.
