Chapter 59 Auction Competition
"good."
Chen Yan nodded.
Jiang Xianyue looked at her and said, "Yan Yan, do you just want to auction the recipe? Actually, I have it here too."
Chen Yan: "I want to auction the recipe myself."
"Since you've said so, I can only respect your choice. After all, if I'm too nice to you, you'll suspect that I have ulterior motives." Jiang Xianyue smiled, and then she added: "Actually, I came to the auction this time just to sell some rare spiritual herbs and medicines."
Jiang Xianyue suddenly remembered something when she said this, and then asked, "Yanyan, have you read any books about spiritual herbs and medicines?"
"I've read a little." Chen Yan recalled the books on spiritual herbs and medicines in the Shen family's library. She had read them all.
"Then do you have a cauldron?"
"not yet."
"After the auction is over, I'll take you to buy one at the Imperial City Shop."
Chen Yan nodded: "Okay."
As we were chatting, the auction was about to begin.
An old man appeared on the auction stage. He was wearing a gray robe and looked kind, with a faint smile on his face.
"Welcome everyone to our Xuanwu Auction."
As soon as he finished speaking, applause broke out.
Bang bang bang!
Almost everyone was very supportive. After all, among all the small countries on the western border of Pingze, only Xuanwu Country had an auction house.
The status of the auction house is naturally self-evident.
Chen Yan's attention was attracted by the crystal screen. The scene on the crystal screen shook and swept across the many seats on the first floor.
Chen Yan saw Shen Xue and others.
If Jiang Xianyue wasn't there, she and Hongri should have been sitting on the first floor.
Jiang Xianyue asked curiously: "Yanyan, is that your sister Shen Xue?"
Chen Yan's eyes dimmed slightly.
"I don't have a sister. Shen Xue is my enemy."
Hearing this, Jiang Xianyue was stunned for a moment, she quickly guessed some of the causes and consequences, she looked at Shen Xue several times, in fact, she wanted to say: she didn't like Shen Xue the first time she saw her, because she felt that Shen Xue was very "smart".
Jiang Xianyue smiled slightly: "Then how do you want to kill Yanyan?"
Hongri and Yinyue, who were standing by, were terrified. They probably didn't expect that Miss Jiang would be so straightforward.
They looked at Chen Yan nervously.
Chen Yan said calmly: "Before leaving Nanxiao Country."
Hongri and Yinyue were shocked!
Tan Zhuang interrupted at this time: "Yan Yan, do you need Uncle Da Zhuang's help?"
Hongri and Yinyue were even more shocked, their hearts were pounding.
A fierce murderous intent flashed across Chen Yan's eyes, but in an instant, it disappeared completely. She said in an unusually calm tone, "No need, Uncle Zhuang, I want to deal with her myself."
"Okay." Tan Zhuang said with a smile, and when he lowered his eyes to look at Chen Yan, there was a hint of relief in his eyes.
She is worthy of being Tianhao’s daughter!
At this time Jiang Xianyue also noticed Tan Zhuang. She looked at Tan Zhuang with fear and thought to herself that this man must be very powerful.
…
The gray-robed old man standing on the auction stage has already started the auction.
The first auction item was a yellow-grade long sword, with a reserve price of one hundred taels of gold.
There weren't many people bidding for it, and it was finally bought by a young practitioner for two hundred and thirty taels of gold.
Soon, the other items came up for auction.
Although Chen Yan was not particularly interested in these auction items, he listened carefully to the introduction of the gray-robed old man.
About a quarter of an hour later.
The grey-robed old man picked up a bottle of healing cream and introduced it with a smile: "Although most practitioners don't care much about scars, too many scars on the body will always affect the appearance. This bottle of healing cream is made by a third-grade alchemy master in our auction house, and it is absolutely guaranteed! Therefore, the starting price is one thousand taels of gold!"
Upon hearing this, many female practitioners shouted with shining eyes.
"I'll give you 1,100 taels of gold!"
"One thousand two hundred taels of gold!"
"One thousand five hundred taels of gold!"
"Two thousand taels of gold!"
After these words were spoken, there was silence for a moment.
The person who bid two thousand taels of gold was Shen Xue. She had a decent and gentle smile on her face. When others looked over, she nodded calmly to everyone.
Although the healing ointment was important, the asking price of two thousand taels of gold had already exceeded everyone's expectations.
Seeing this, the grey-robed old man immediately smiled and asked, "Is there anyone bidding again?"
No one said anything.
"Skin healing ointment, two thousand taels of gold for one time! Two thousand taels of gold for two times! Two thousand..."
Suddenly, a female voice came from the box on the second floor.
"Two thousand one hundred taels!"
Shen Xue's smile froze in an instant. She raised her eyes and looked towards the middle box on the second floor. She tapped her palms lightly with her fingernails, feeling very unhappy. She was just a little bit away from getting the healing cream!
The wound on her cheek from being whipped by the Soul-Breaking Vine in Lingyan Forest that day has not yet fully healed. Although she has used a lot of expensive medicine to wipe it off, a faint scar is still left.
If she got close to others, they would definitely see the scar on her cheek.
The grey-robed old man smiled, looked towards Shen Xue's position, and asked, "Is there anyone else who wants to bid?"
Seeing her dejected expression, Lu Shaohuai said distressedly: "Xue'er, I won't let anyone take away what you want!"
After saying that, Lu Shaohuai immediately raised his hand.
"I'll offer 2,500 taels of gold!"
Seeing this, Shen Xue looked at Lu Shaohuai gratefully: "Thank you, Shaohuai."
Nangong Jin was so angry that his teeth were itching. He just didn't react just now, otherwise Lu Shaohuai would have no chance to show off.
Nangong Jin said sourly: "Oh, a mere 2,500 taels."
"Two thousand six hundred taels!"
The pleasant female voice came out again from the box on the second floor.
After Shen Xue heard it clearly, her face changed slightly and she said in disbelief: "This is Sister Yan'er's voice..."
Immediately, Shen Xue burst into tears with grievance.
"Why does Sister Yan'er target me everywhere?"
Nangong Jin was furious when he saw his beloved woman crying. He hated Chen Yan, this waste. He immediately raised his hand and shouted, "Three thousand taels of gold!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the whole audience was in an uproar.
Everyone looked in the direction of Nangong Jin and his companions in shock. This skin healing ointment was worth at most two thousand taels of gold, but now they had asked for three thousand taels of gold!
"This seems to be Nangong Jin, the crown prince of Nanxiao Kingdom. The woman in white next to him is Shen Xue, the eldest daughter of the Shen family!"
"Yes, Shen Xue is a genius of Nanxiao Country, and her brother Shen Huai is even more outstanding..."
"I heard that the loser Chen Yan severed ties with the Shen family. It's so funny, hahahaha..."
"Did Prince Nangong spend three thousand taels of gold just for Shen Xue? As expected of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, he really has the financial resources."
After Nangong Jin regained his senses, he felt a little regretful, but when he heard the discussions of the crowd, although he felt pained, he felt much better.
The corners of Shen Xue's mouth unconsciously curled up in joy.
But, the next moment——
"Three thousand one hundred taels of gold!"
