When Elder Hu saw the bright yellow rune in her hand, his eyes widened.
“This, this is…”
Yun Zheng looked up at Elder Hu and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I lied to you back then. I actually have ten third-grade runes here, including an explosion rune, an invisibility rune, and a lightning rune."
"The reason I didn't tell you, Elder Hu, was because my master wouldn't allow me to publicly reveal so many third-grade runes. After all, he was afraid that my low strength would make me a target!"
Elder Hu suppressed his excitement, calmed his expression, and asked, "Then why did Master Rong take it out again now?"
Yun Zheng curled her lips and smiled, "Elder Hu should know that I just auctioned a sacred beast, but I didn't bring enough spirit stones, so I wanted to make a big deal with your auction house!"
In fact, when she took out this stack of third-grade runes, Elder Hu had already guessed most of it in his mind.
Now hearing her say this, my body and mind couldn't help but feel excited.
If these ten third-grade runes were put up for auction, it would definitely cause a huge sensation, and it would also help expand the reputation of their Great Chu State Lingtian Auction!
After all, third-grade runes are rare and precious in those medium-sized countries.
Elder Hu laughed heartily, and the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes narrowed. "Hahaha, it is an honor for our Lingtian Auction to be able to trade with Master Rong!"
After he finished speaking, Elder Hu immediately took out a red crystal card and handed it to Yun Zheng, saying again, "Master Rong, this red crystal card contains one million low-grade spirit stones. Consider it a deposit for the eleven third-grade runes. I'll settle the balance with you after the auction."
"Okay, thank you, Elder Hu first."
Yun Zheng raised her hand to take it, said thank you, and then handed the ten third-grade runes in her other hand to Elder Hu.
Elder Hu's hands were shaking when he received these ten third-grade runes.
After Yun Zheng chatted with Elder Hu for a few words, Elder Hu left in a hurry. He hid the rune in his arms like a treasure.
Yun Zheng lowered her eyes to look at the red crystal card, her red lips slightly curved.
As expected, you still have to work hard to draw runes to make money!
"Next, this auction item will surely amaze everyone!" Chen Yue's infectious voice sounded slowly, stirring up the emotions of everyone present.
'Pah pah'
She clapped her hands, and a guard brought in something covered with a red cloth.
The guard placed it on the display stand, waiting for Chen Yue to reveal it.
"Without further ado, I'm sure you all can't wait!" Chen Yue said as she stretched out her hand and lifted the red cloth, revealing a tattered, dull book.
When everyone saw it, their brows furrowed, wondering if this was the thing that caught their eyes? Wasn't it just a tattered book?
"Chen Yue, is this the good thing you mentioned?"
"That's right. This book is already so damaged. Even if it contains a Xuan-grade combat technique, it's not worth much, okay?"
"It can't be called a book because half the pages are missing!"
"Are you trying to fool us?"
"Hey, don't jump to conclusions. Even though this book is damaged, it might still be a good thing."
“…”
When Yun Zheng saw the book, her heart inexplicably beat faster. She stared at the book closely, feeling as if the book had always belonged to her!
Her eyebrows were slightly furrowed, and a hint of confusion flashed in her clear eyes.
What's going on?
She had never seen the book...
Facing the crowd's doubts, Chen Yue smiled and explained, "Don't worry, everyone. Let me explain slowly. This really can't be called a book, because it only has a few dozen fragments!"
"However, although there are only more than twenty fragments of pages, it clearly describes the methods of refining several kinds of elixirs!"
When everyone heard this, they all sneered.
Just over twenty fragments?
Besides, they are not alchemists, so what's the point of them taking pictures?
Most people immediately lost interest.
Only those who want to become alchemists are interested in it.
Recipes for refining elixirs rarely appear in the world!
Usually, when they appear, they are picked up by alchemists. This time, there are actually recipes for several kinds of pills!
Chen Yue said, "The starting price for this fragment of the recipe is 10,000 low-grade spirit stones! The highest bidder wins!"
"I offer twelve thousand low-grade spirit stones!" shouted a casual cultivator in the seats on the first floor.
"Fifteen thousand low-grade spirit stones!"
An old voice came from a private room on the third floor, "Twenty thousand low-grade spirit stones!"
Yun Zheng also joined in this time. She pressed the microphone, and a voice that was difficult to distinguish between male and female came out: "Twenty-one thousand low-grade spirit stones!"
"This prince is offering 30,000 low-grade spirit stones! If you don't have the ability to refine the elixir, don't continue to fight for this elixir recipe. This prince is giving it to Lord Gongye Chang, the second-grade alchemist of the royal family of the Great Chu Kingdom!" Chu Yunheng's voice came from box 306 on the third floor.
After these words were spoken, many people stopped thinking.
The Great Chu State only had one alchemist, Gongye Chang. Normally, the Great Chu State worshipped this honorable alchemist...
Today, the Third Prince is using Gongye Chang's reputation, so how dare they fight with him?
A dark light flashed in Chen Yue's eyes, but was quickly concealed.
"No one is bidding anymore, right?" Chu Yunheng said in a rather arrogant tone.
Everyone looked at each other and no one spoke again.
People coming from a foreign country didn't care about the twenty or so pages of the pill recipe, so they didn't say anything.
Just as Chu Yunheng in Box 306 showed a satisfied smile——
"I'll offer you thirty thousand and one low-grade spirit stones!" A rebellious and seemingly careless voice sounded.
Chu Yunheng's smile froze, replaced by anger, and a sinister look brewed in his eyes.
He spoke with a hint of threat, "Owner of Room 27, please think carefully."
Yun Zheng retorted sarcastically, "Oh, if I hadn't thought it through, why would I even start bidding? I've heard that the Third Prince of the Great Chu Kingdom is a complete idiot, but after meeting him today, I've discovered he's truly so clueless that he needs to be retrained!"
“Puchi, hahahaha…”
"Hahaha……"
I don’t know who on the first floor laughed first, but the others couldn’t help but follow suit.
The owner of the private room 27 is really a person who doesn't play by the rules!
Not only did he dare to bid for a low-grade spirit stone at the auction, but he also dared to mock the Third Prince Chu Yunheng!
'Bang--'
Chu Yunheng was so angry that he smashed a table. Just as he was about to press the microphone to speak, he was stopped by the gentle woman in white. She advised, "Your Highness, don't get angry over some meaningless people. Maybe she just wants to provoke you and make you give up the auction!"
After hearing these words, Chu Yunheng calmed down a little, but he was still holding back a ball of anger that he couldn't vent.
No one has ever dared to mock him in public...
