Chapter 124 Murder Auction Lan Ji nodded, and then said nothing...
Lan Ji nodded and said nothing more.
The next second after Lan Ji nodded, an even more powerful aura erupted from the pavilion above, followed by a very angry voice, and then this powerful aura pressed fiercely towards the pavilion of the old man Yan Gui opposite.
"Flame, you? You already knew it was Hecun Shigeyama's strange food, right?"
The two auras from the pavilion of old man Yan Gui rose into the sky. Facing this extremely powerful aura with sharp sword energy, they moved forward without fear, neither giving in to the other. The burning strange aura and the hazy smoke mixed together, blending into each other yet clearly separated.
"I know how, so what if I don't know? Swordsman, you want to know too much. There is no need for us in the Shiwandashan to explain anything to you!" The hoarse female voice was tinged with a hint of itchiness when it came out, just like smoke rising in the air.
The distinguished guest who was called the swordsman was forcibly humiliated, but the old man Yan Gui and Madam Yan Gui's strange power techniques complemented each other, and he could not suppress them alone. He could only withdraw his strange power in hatred, and his eyes when he looked at Qing Songzi below the stage again had completely changed.
Of course it's clear.
There are also some unclear points.
The force that competed with the Fir Mountains for power in the beginning was a force called Flower Valley. The most famous feature of that force was the flowers all over the mountains, some strange plants and some ordinary plants, mixed together. Then there were the various beehives scattered throughout the Flower Valley, and the queen bees were all strange beasts without exception.
At the very least, it's still the cultivation level of a half-strange beast.
In short, Huagu has money.
The geographical location of Huagu is some distance away from the Shiwanda Mountains and is closer to the Central Plains.
The person in charge of Huagu, Hua Qingshui, initially enjoyed seeing the distinguished guests in the pavilions fighting each other. He hoped that the fighting would be as severe as possible, as he didn't like any of them anyway. But when he saw it, everyone suddenly stopped.
Hua Qingshui looked at the burly ghost next to him. He was obviously a cultivator, but he was dressed elegantly and it was obvious that he had a good background.
"What is this Hecun Chongshan they are talking about? What does it mean? It's called the companion strange plant of Hecun Chongshan. Is there something special about it?" The person in charge of the Flower Valley looked at Qingsongzi below him. He admitted that this strange food was very strange. If it were any other time, he wouldn't mind buying it to take a look. After all, it is really rare to see strange food with such strong strange power and hidden so tightly.
But is this strange food really worth fighting for among these powerful strange warriors?
Judging from his appearance just now, the swordsman almost wanted to break off relations with the Flame Ghost and the Smoke Ghost. That is, he couldn't beat them. If he could, this guy would definitely be eager to break off relations with them.
Is this weird food really that amazing?
The body cultivator of the small force knew that the leader of Huagu had just arrived and was indeed unaware of the name of Hecun Chongshan, who was causing a stir in the Shiwan Mountains. He paused and said, "This is the name of a new force."
"This force was not well-known before, until a super-talented auxiliary-type weirdo appeared, with a companion weird plant."
"That strange companion plant is a very rare moon-type plant called the laurel tree."
"Or a strange food name that you may have heard of, the laurel seeds of the Vermillion Gray Caravan!" the physical cultivator said in a very low voice.
Hua Qingshui knew about laurel seeds, this strange food. Not only had he heard of it, but many of his friends had also spread it around. It was said to be a very rare moon-related strange plant that could increase the ability to sense moonlight. This strange food was so rare that Hua Qingshui sent people to discuss it with the Zhuhui Caravan.
It's a pity that I got an answer that was not satisfactory, and I couldn't even move because all the guests had to consider it.
Hua Qingshui had no choice but to give up because of Zhu Hui's identity.
"This should be the second companion weird plant of that weird warrior. After all, he is a weird warrior with super auxiliary talents, so it is not impossible for him to have multiple companion weird plants!" The physical cultivator did not need to speak the rest of the words. Hua Qingshui continued with rapid breathing.
"That is to say, according to the host's introduction just now, the function of this strange food is very likely to be true, to rebuild the foundation!" Hua Qingshui said with certainty.
Hua Qingshui didn't need to listen to any reasons. This reason was enough to convince him. He raised the price directly: "30,000 strange beads!"
"forty thousand!"
“Fifty thousand strange beads!”
What happened in Huaqingshui Pavilion was happening in many pavilions. Most of these guests had heard of the name of laurel seeds. They had always kept good news with Zhuhui, and sent him food shares and favors. What could it be for? Wasn't it just for a share of laurel seeds?
The price of pine nuts continues to soar.
While the debate was in full swing above, the cunning men below were discussing among themselves.
"Which He Cun Chong Shan is that really the He Cun Chong Shan who sells Gou Cha Guo?"
"I haven't heard of it. There's been no news about the Qingxie Caravan recently. Come on!"
"Isn't Hecun Chongshan the place that sells Goucha fruit? Do they also sell other weird foods?"
Before the person in front of him could finish his words, someone else immediately interrupted him and refuted him quickly.
"That's for sure. The people in these big forces are smarter than each other. They must know something. They all say it's a companion weird plant. It must be an extremely rare weird food."
"Tsk tsk, the price is rising so fast, so many people must be scrambling for it!"
The strange people around kept talking. They didn't know how rare the effect of the strange food above was. They just knew that it was related to the foundation type. The black locust seeds before were also a foundation type strange food. They had already been curious about it, so naturally they were interested in talking about it.
"Hey, hey, hey, Brother Hu, this He Cun Chongshan is the He Cun Chongshan we know, right?" Zhao Xi looked at the price above that kept growing. He couldn't help but move closer to Li Hu and whispered, making faces while speaking.
Li Hu's expression remained unchanged, but his eyes were fixed on the green pine seeds above him. The black locust seeds did not excite him, but this was He Cun Zhongshan's strange food. In Li Hu's mind, He Cun Zhongshan's strange food was completely different.
"Yeah." Hearing Zhao Xi's words, he responded softly.
While Li Hu was speaking, his eyes never left the green pine nuts.
The price on the stage had risen to 150,000 strange beads. The strange beads here were not ordinary strange beads, but the kind that could be used for serious cultivation. The price was self-evident. Some guests with limited financial resources or who did not carry too many strange beads had already left.
The price has soared to three hundred thousand.
On the pavilion above, a now-deceased guest suddenly looked at the green pine seeds below the stage. The soaring price made him think: "The effect of this green pine seed strange food is real. It can rebuild the foundation. It should be the extremely important innate strange food that the Zhuhui caravan has been talking about."
As soon as these words were spoken, all the tricksters in the entire ship heard them instantly.
When the tricksters in the audience heard this, they all paused, the atmosphere suddenly became quiet, and then they stared at the green pine seeds on it with extremely fanatical eyes.
Reshape the foundation!
This is actually true!
This group of cunning men have been struggling down there, but why can't they get up to the pavilion up there? Why? It's because of their talent. With talent, no matter how useless they are, they can still become guests of a certain force.
This strange food can change your destiny.
Almost all the cunning people who had figured it out instantly thought of the bright prospects that would come after they joined in and took this strange food.
"Damn it! This bastard actually said that!" The cunning warrior known as the swordsman was furious in his own pavilion room. He could hardly hold back his curses as soon as he heard those words.
He knew that once he told it, anyone with a little knowledge would know what these green pine nuts were.
Sure enough, as soon as the words fell, the bid above almost jumped again, and this time it exceeded the 400,000 strange beads mark.
These are the real four hundred thousand strange beads.
"Han Yu, you have already bid for the black locust seeds, so you don't need this strange food anymore!" The 'swordsman' who just mentioned the high price of four hundred thousand first spoke to the people in the Fir Mountain Range who had just been biting hard.
"Excuse me, according to Lady Hanyue's instructions, we will follow her instructions and bring back what she wants."
"What about Yan Gui? Don't you already have laurel seeds in your mountain range? Why do you want the pine seeds? Don't you feel greedy?" Seeing that the Fir Mountain Range was unmoved, the swordsman turned around and asked the pavilion of Yan Gui and Mrs. Smoking Ghost not far away.
This time, Yan Gui did not speak. Instead, a hoarse female voice spoke, laughing cheerfully: "Good stuff? Of course I don't mind having too much. There are many kids on our mountains who can use it!"
The swordsman was speechless and could only snort coldly, because everyone knew that this sentence was right.
"Four hundred and ten thousand strange beads!" Seeing that he could not convince anyone, the swordsman could only continue bidding hatefully.
The pavilions of Old Man Yan Gui and Mrs. Yan Gui followed suit and made offers.
"Four hundred and twenty thousand!"
"Four hundred and thirty-five thousand!" Fir Mountain's offer.
"Four hundred and fifty thousand strange beads!" A male voice soon appeared in the pavilion of the Flower Valley.
The above entanglement continues.
Until the top pavilion spoke, interrupting all the conversations. It was a very calm male voice saying, "Five hundred thousand strange beads."
This sentence came from the topmost pavilion.
Everyone knows who it is.
After a moment of silence, the guests in each pavilion had different expressions.
"Oh my, I thought he could endure for a long time, but I didn't expect this to be true? He was the last one to make a move. Wow, it really fits the character of Yueshan Guishi!" Xue Qi couldn't help but be surprised when he heard the voice from Yueshan Guishi above, and then said with a smile.
"That's right. After all, I haven't been back to Yueshan for a long time. I have to leave a good impression on my village chief." There is no doubt that Xue Qi also knows the Yueshan weirdo.
Village chief Qingshan turned his head to look at Xue Qi, who was laughing wildly, and looked at him thoughtfully.
Xue Qi was stunned by the look and asked in confusion, "Why are you looking at me?"
"You don't want to offer a price?" said the village chief Qingshan.
"Of course I won't offer a price. I'd rather pay more and buy it from Little Gray Egg. Anyway, I have the weird food he wants." Xue Qi waved his hands. Of course he was tempted, but that didn't mean he was willing to be a sucker. Who wouldn't be ripped off once they entered this weird food convention?
What else was Village Chief Qingshan going to say?
The customers outside who were bidding prices had already started to speak in a sarcastic manner to each other.
"I didn't expect Yueshan to end up like this." The first person to speak was of course the swordsman.
"There are many rare and strange foods in Yueshan. How can this green pine nut catch the eye of Yueqing the strange man?" Old Man Yan Gui and Madam Yan Gui couldn't help but speak. There was no other way. They were the elders of two mountains. It was no longer the case that one person's food fed the whole family. They had many disciples and followers under them, not to mention those with blood ties.
Many of the dolls have good talents, but the food resources are limited. Many dolls were crying because they couldn't get the laurel seeds. Now that they see the pine seeds, how can they not be tempted?
Hua Qingshui was not to be outdone and said, "Everyone has tried their best to get this pair of green pine seeds." He snorted coldly. Of course, he did not say this in front of outsiders. He just said it inside the pavilion. Anyway, as long as he did not embarrass others in public, nothing he said would cause any trouble.
"The swordsman has also put a lot of thought into it. He has always felt that the reason he couldn't break through to the middle stage of the Blood Grudge Level was because he was not talented enough. He has been looking for talented and strange food. He probably came here this time for the black locust seeds. He has already eaten one, but still refuses to give up. Now that he sees the green pine seeds, it seems he refuses to give up." Hua Qingshui can be said to be well-informed, but it is also not well-informed.
"Don't even think about whether it's because of your own character."
Hua Qingshui was ready to give up. Now he wanted to spend 500,000 Ghost Pearls just for a Qingyou-level talent Ghost Pearl. But he also wanted to take a picture of the next good Dingxi. In this case, the money he brought would not be enough.
Hua Qingshui thought clearly, as long as he knew the name of the caravan, he would not be afraid that he would not be able to buy strange food later? Anyway, there must be other ways.
Hua Qingshui was therefore very happy to watch the three people outside chasing each other.
A male voice also appeared in the Xueqi Pavilion. It was the Yueqing Guishi. His voice was light and gentle with a hint of smile. He said, "Long time no see, Xueqi, the village chief of Qingshan."
"Oh, I'm very surprised to see you. Qingshan said that you went out to look for Mingshan. You went to Mingshan right after you came back. You are such a busy man. Your master must be getting moldy staying in the mountain every day." Xue Qi said with familiarity.
"Master, there's no need for you to worry about it." Even though Yue Qing Guishi was treated rudely like this, he still refused with a smile and in a reasonable manner, and he didn't seem angry.
"Excuse me, Chief Xueqi, how much do you know about Hecun Chongshan?" Yueqing Guishi quickly asked the purpose of his visit.
"Not much, but the talent of that lord is one of the best I have ever seen." Xue Qi was not surprised by Yue Qing's question. Yue Qing was such a careful and cautious person. If Yue Qing didn't ask, he would have to think about who was impersonating him.
"Don't use your master-disciple example. What are the conditions of your mountain range? What are the conditions of that small village? Even so, the talent of that lord is not much worse than yours. Humph, two companion strange plants, both of which are very rare species. You know their value, right?" Xue Qi's last sentence was simply a question to Yue Qing the strange scholar.
Yueqing did not reply, and her consciousness had disappeared.
The next moment, the dispute on the pavilion was broken by a single sentence.
"Young man, what do you want?" Yue Qing appeared from the topmost pavilion with a faint smile, and her spiritual consciousness rushed straight to the young man Lan Ji below.
"You haven't said anything since you finished bidding, and you don't care about the number of ghost beads. Your eyes have been wandering between our pavilions. You must have made up your mind a long time ago."
"There are three of you who are willing to offer a price now. What do you want us to do?" Yue Qing Guishi's tone revealed understanding. The abnormality of the young Lan Ji was not only noticed by Xue Qi, he also noticed it, or rather, several people noticed that something was wrong.
"Boy, no matter what you want to do, I can help you once." The swordsman in the pavilion spoke directly. Of course, his words were mixed with sharp sword energy, pressing hard on the head of the young Lan Ji, trying to make him submit and agree to his proposal.
Of course, the swordsman thought the young man looked familiar and had some guesses in his heart, but he was unwilling to agree directly. To put it bluntly, without the power behind him, this kid would be nothing more than an ordinary trickster.
"!" Lan Ji groaned under the heavy pressure of the powerful aura. He gritted his teeth and endured it, unwilling to succumb to the pressure. He tried to keep his face as normal as possible and refused to show any weakness. His hands at his sides trembled unconsciously.
Even so, Lan Ji looked straight up at the pavilion at the top, which was also the candidate he finally chose.
"I would like to ask you to kill someone." Lan Ji tried his best to keep his tone calm.
"Oh?" Yue Qing Guishi was not surprised. He already knew Lan Ji's identity, so he naturally knew who he wanted to kill.
"That traitor? I thought you would prefer to kill him yourself!" Yue Qing Gui Shi said with a chuckle.
The swordsman originally wanted to use his own power to force the opponent to submit, but as soon as Yue Qing's words came out, the moon aura slowly dissipated, and his plan failed. He could only snort coldly and retract his aura.
"I really want to kill him myself, but I still remember what my grandfather said. I want to live." Lan Ji said calmly, "Therefore, I only want the head of that traitor. If he doesn't die, I will have to hide and be hunted down. It will be difficult for me to practice, and my cultivation level will not improve. That means I will die."
On the contrary, once the traitor died, the group was leaderless, and his men were all scrambling to grab the strange plants that they had snatched from the Putao Mountains, which helped him attract most of the world's attention. The stone servants would no longer pay attention to him because of the death of the traitor. Those guys were more like half-strange beasts than humans.
He must survive, so the traitor must die, no matter at whose hands. The reason why he didn't look for a caravan was, firstly, that merchants were good at making friends and would definitely not step into muddy waters, nor would they actively hunt people down; secondly, he also needed to maintain the remaining connections in the Putao Mountains. Most merchants were big gamblers, and as long as he showed enough talent, there would be a caravan willing to invest.
He wants to survive, so hatred, anger, regret, sadness, and grief, all these emotions can disappear.
Yue Qing became interested when he heard this. He could see that it was not that the young man did not hate. The Moon System could help him perceive other people's emotions more clearly. At least the young man wanted to kill the man with his own hands, but he rationally realized the importance of saving his life and suppressed these painful emotions.
"You are really smart!" Yue Qing said with appreciation. Ordinary people think that they can just hide away, but if they really understand this strange world, they will know how strange the skills of the strange people are, and how many ways they have to find people. As long as the young man does not take the initiative, he will be the one to die.
"Are you so sure that we will help you?" Hua Qingshui on the other side asked curiously.
"Of course he is not sure. There is a mark of a wild marten on the green pine nut. As long as the final price does not meet his bottom line, he can just swallow the wild marten into the strange food and run away. The blood of this wild marten is not ordinary, and the mark is its first blood skill. If it is not for its great talent, it is impossible to find this mark. Anyway, we are being hunted down. Is there any difference between being hunted down by one force and being hunted down by two forces?"
"If Qingsongzi is auctioned off, he will definitely refuse the strange bead given by the other party and only ask for killing. On the other hand, he can take out the basic strange food, which means he has nothing in his hands and can only auction the foundation given to him by his elders." Yue Qing did not say the latter sentence in public. Only a small number of strange masters with sufficient strange power and cultivation could hear what he said.
In this way, the boy is more likely to survive.
So Yueqing admired Lan Ji's intelligence from the very beginning, because this kid really spoke the truth. He just wanted to survive, and all his schemes were just to stay alive.
"In that case, I agree." Yue Qing said with a smile.
Lan Ji nodded, and with a light touch of his hand, a white mink with shiny fur automatically appeared in his arms. The mink squeaked as it appeared, and its pair of crystal clear purple eyes fixed on the green pine seeds on the stage. Sure enough, an illusory white mark that was about to disappear completely disappeared.
"I don't want the ghost bead. Xiaobai's mark can't last long. You are a ghost master from Yueshan. I believe what you say. Excuse me, we will take our leave first."
As soon as he finished speaking, the white mink nimbly circled around the entire upper body of the Lan Ji boy. With a squeak, an illusory mink shadow shattered on the spot, and the man and the mink disappeared on the spot.
The whole process went smoothly.
The people bidding for one had different expressions on their faces.
The swordsman's plan failed, and he saw this cunning boy just ran away without even taking the strange bead. The green pine seed simply fell into Yueqing's hands. For a moment, his expression was uncertain.
The swordsman had a gloomy face. Yue Qing could not move. If he wanted to break through, he had to think of other ways. Soon, he remembered who this kid was, the Putao Mountains, and that group of traitors. If Yue Qing really took action, then he could also get involved with so many ownerless strange plants.
"Master, this batch of green pine nuts is mine." Yue Qing said to Xue Zhi who was a little stunned below with a smile: "Don't worry, the commission will still be based on the price I just called out."
"Okay, please wait a moment!" Xuezhi reacted and spoke immediately.
The Weird Food Conference continued in full swing, and some very good Weird Food appeared later. The finale of the Weird Food was a late Blood Grudge-level snow lotus seed, which had a certain probability of mutating into a Weird Plant.
Of course, these seeds can also be eaten as snacks, but generally no one would waste them like this.
Hua Qingshui came here just because of this auction item, so he was naturally satisfied and got the spot.
That night, in the back room of the Wu Commercial Bank.
Wu Yefei looked at the man and woman in front of him with an uncertain mood. They both had similar faces.
"Why are you here?"
"Of course we have to come. You are treating a rare and strange food as an ordinary item for auction. This not only ruins your reputation, but also the reputation of our Wu tribe." The woman said with a chuckle.
"Fortunately, Chief Blood Seven did not let the item fall to the ground for the sake of our past reputation." The man said coldly.
"The elders asked you to return to the tribe to reflect. As for whether the identity of the third young master should be retained, it is up to the tribal elders to decide." The woman said lazily.
"I've said it before, trash will always be trash. It won't turn into a genius just by the help of the elders."
Yueqing Guishi also received a satisfactory gift and prepared to take it back to Yueshan.
As for Ye Lu, he had no idea what was happening thousands miles away.
He was watching his new moves with the ghost scholar.
Ye Lu looked at the vigorous appearance of the laurel tree in front of him. There was inexplicably some moisture on the lush leaves of the laurel tree.
It's hard to see many changes, but outsiders can tell that the laurel tree has gained some benefits as soon as they get close, as if it has been blessed by someone.
"Laurel, how did you feel just now?"
"Good! Sweet! I like it!" Laurel answered impatiently.
Ye Lu watched the ghost scholar succeed in deep thought. The Shinto move just now was released by this hand.
"This move... do you know what's going on?" What Ye Lu actually wanted to ask was that the ghost scholar's move didn't seem to be a Shinto move, but instead it really had a bit of the posture of the God of Fortune.
As everyone knows, the God of Fortune can really bless all things!
