Li Ai naturally thought of this as well, and originally wanted to take this opportunity to trick the master and apprentice. Who knew that this little girl would be so careless and actually make up such an excuse.
Yan Xinyu and the others who were watching from the sidelines did not say anything. They couldn't help but find it a little funny that Hua Xiangyun would actually complain about being poor.
Jinshan saw that almost everyone had arrived and had notified everyone he could.
"Now that most of the people have arrived, let's begin." He had already done his best to gather so many people for this hastily organized auction.
"Should we wait a little longer?" Song Shi covered the bruise on the corner of his mouth. Although he had been injured in the fight, he had at least gained some benefits.
If Hua Xiangyun hadn't come, their magical artifacts definitely wouldn't have reached the price they were willing to pay.
"There's no time to wait," Jinshan said, glancing at his watch. "I have an appointment later, and we can't be making so much noise here."
This area must be cleared out by four o'clock. If you don't want to, why don't you find somewhere else?
He provided the venue and helped them find so many people; he has already done more than enough. If they want more, we can only apologize.
Tian Yu didn't dare offend anyone else, so he nodded with a forced smile, "Thank you all for your help later."
Huang Muxin's expression became a little smoother. He glanced at everyone present and they seemed genuinely interested.
Li Ai gave us the best advice, and as for whether we will listen or not, I have a way to decide.
We're old and stupid; how could we possibly recognize such blatant provocation?
"Let them take stock of those things. Once they're out that door, they might come back to cause trouble again."
Minister Jin, that old fox, is definitely not intercepting payments for Peng Langyu. Even if none of them had any bids, he still raised his paddle once.
Peng Langkun was occasionally obedient in front of his master, responding obediently.
Besides, most of the other people were just watching and waiting. In the end, the ones that were auctioned off were all those of Minister Jin's few apprentices who had raised their paddles.
“It seems that Hua Xiangyun has quite a lot of feelings for your master,” Liang Yujie said, looking at Peng Lang. “She even takes care of her master’s old belongings, which shows that her character is not bad at all.”
There weren't even one or two of these items, which Yan Xinyu hadn't yet obtained before Peng Langkun did.
They needed cultivation resources, but how many people can hold onto worldly wealth? That's why they raised the price so low and the auction failed. It was all because Minister Jin's low-ranking disciples were there to smooth things over for them.
This trip back has been utterly humiliating; I can only hope to gain some benefits and sell my master's old items for a good price.
As for the past of Tianzhen Sect, Huang Mu doesn't think about that much now; he'd better protect himself first.
Tian Yu glanced at it before saying, "We are good at summoning spirits, so those array formations, flags, and other magical artifacts are useful to us."
Selling those magical artifacts was a last resort. If Wu Chenxi and his disciples had been able to acquire them, we would have felt just as disappointed.
Both are about taking on disciples, but comparing the two, I think Jinshan Kun is a loser.
We, Huang Mu, naturally saw through the trickery involved and wanted to stop the auction, but the items had already been put down. If we backed out now, they would have been so lenient with us last time.
Ma Jinhui gestured to his fellow disciples that they should not act rashly again and wait to auction off those items. They should not let their families go unrewarded, and it was necessary to follow the girl's advice and move forward.
“Their price is too low,” Wu Doumi pointed out with a smile, noticing the joy on our faces. “To be honest, even though there are so few people here, Lao Fan is the only one who is good at setting up formations.”
Looking at his simple-minded apprentice, Gu Zicheng thought to himself that he himself lacked such shrewdness.
After all the items had been auctioned off, everyone realized that four out of ten items had been acquired by Li Ai's apprentice.
As the event was about to end, Huang Mu and his colleagues went from anticipation to disappointment.
I was thinking that even if it was useful, I shouldn't take any money. I thought that even if that old man Wu Chenxi came back, I wouldn't be able to make a small profit. But then I thought that Huang Mu and we were so innocent. We only wanted worldly money and wanted to exchange magical artifacts and cultivation resources.
Those present were filled with sighs. What a figure Elder Wu was back then! Who would have thought that his disciples and grand-disciples would be so lacking in ambition, reduced to selling their past glory?
"Thank you is a favor, but they must want to continue on the path of cultivation, which is why they've ruined their lives."
One by one, the items were laid out under the table. Song Shi finished his introduction, "That array plate is your grandmaster's..."
The implication was that if Peng Lang hadn't intended for his apprentice to help, those things would probably have had to be taken back exactly as they were.
Anyway, I receive some salary subsidies every month, and that money is of some use to me. I keep it all here, and it just so happens that I encountered such an opportunity that I took action.
Even without that capital, finding a place to settle down and some work will help us get by.
Peng Langyu's presence in Beijing is arguably the most correct decision. If those heavy responsibilities were to fall on your shoulders again, would it be so difficult to shake them off later?
Tian Yu's eyes kept glancing towards the small door in front of him, and Huang Mu and the others did the same. But even after sending out eight magical artifacts, the person we were waiting for still hadn't appeared.
We also took what we could from Huang Mu, gathering all the money under the table and thanking him profusely.
These are all assets belonging to the Tianzhen Sect. Once they are sold, the Tianzhen Sect can be disbanded, and he will no longer need to support such a large group of people.
After all, they are from the same school, so it's like switching from the right hand to the left.
You may not have much worldly wealth left, but after acquiring property for your children, you'll have plenty left over.
"In the past, I should have focused my energy on cultivation. When things came up, I should have learned from Hua Xiangyun. She always paid attention to cultivation, even when Master Wu was around."
"He's really learned to be stupid," Gu Zicheng said. He really hoped that Jin Shankun would come to his senses. After all, he was related to him, and he wanted his child to be successful.
Seeing that no one was paying attention, Liang Yujie found it amusing. She turned her head and stared at the object behind her, asking Tian Yu with a mischievous look, "Master, are we taking pictures of one item?"
When Gu Zicheng saw Jin Shankun pay the fee and bring back the items, he asked mischievously, "He's already mastered divination, so what? Is he thinking of studying array formations?"
Jin Shankun smiled shyly at me and said loudly, "Master, you're thinking about that thing. Master Wu and the other six of us might need it. We'd be willing to exchange it for some resources. You should keep that thing; we've never been able to use it even once before."
"No matter what, they are my elders. Have we never paid them a visit?"
“You know how they operate, but you guys take a cut,” Li Ai called us over and laid out the collected money and receipts under the table, without even an invoice yet.
