There was an uproar in the venue, and even the experienced auctioneer was stunned.
Luo Jianqing was about to drink his tea, but luckily he didn't actually drink it, otherwise he would have to spit it out. He looked at the Buddhist disciple beside him in surprise and asked in a low voice, "Buddhist disciple, what are you doing..."
At this moment, the Buddhist disciple, who was always calm and composed, smiled shyly: "This humble monk is not good at dealing with these mundane matters."
Luo Jianqing: "..." This is not a reason for you to make such a random offer!!!
Perhaps the Buddha's bid was too outrageous, and for a moment, no one dared to compete with him. After all, Buddhist beads are indeed very important to Buddhist practitioners, but for other practitioners, they only serve to dispel evil and calm the mind.
The official price offered by the Liuyun Chamber of Commerce for this Buddhist bead was 250,000. Seeing that no one raised the price after the Buddhist disciple's shout, the auctioneer immediately said, "Rumor has it that this item was once the treasure of a great sage who once sat down and transformed into a Buddha. I'm sure everyone knows the name of that sage; he is Master Daoxin, the Fourth Patriarch of Zen Buddhism."
After these words fell, someone couldn't help but bid: "Two hundred and ten thousand."
The Buddhist disciple opened his mouth and said: "Thirty..."
Luo Jianqing immediately shouted: "Two hundred and fifty thousand!"
The sound in the box had always been filtered. No one had noticed there were two other people in Luo Jianqing's room before, but now they were all stunned. The Buddhist disciples in the box looked at Luo Jianqing in astonishment, who said with emotion, "Buddhist disciple, now I finally believe that Heaven is somewhat fair. It truly has granted you great wisdom." But it hasn't given you corresponding emotional intelligence!
Even if Luo Jianqing didn't say it, the Buddhist disciples could guess what he wanted to say.
The Buddhist disciple was not angry. Instead, he calmly performed a Buddhist ceremony, still looking calm and composed. "Amitabha, then I'll trouble Brother Luo to help me bid."
Luo Jianqing asked, "I wonder what is the maximum budget that Buddhist disciples have for this set of beads?"
The Buddhist thought for a moment and said, "Three hundred thousand."
Luo Jianqing: "..." So how did you have the confidence to directly shout out 200,000 just now!
As soon as Luo Jianqing said "250,000", the crowd fell silent. Everyone was shocked by the boldness of the person in the box. However, Luo Jianqing did not relax. He lowered his eyes and looked at Li Xiuchen in the hall, narrowing them slightly.
Li Xiuchen was an inner sect disciple at Mount Taihua, his monthly salary a mere five hundred spirit stones, but his wealth was undoubtedly far greater. Although he had robbed Li Xiuchen of many opportunities this time, he had taken hundreds of flame fruits when he left Flowing Flame Valley. Adding to his previous gains at Myriad Beasts Ridge, Luo Jianqing conservatively estimated that Li Xiuchen currently possessed several hundred thousand spirit stones.
The monsters in Wanshou Ridge are just a small part of the cost; the more expensive thing is the flame fruit.
If one hundred Flame Fruits were put up for auction, they might even fetch a million Spirit Stones. Because Flame Fruits are a supreme spiritual treasure for cultivators practicing fire-based techniques, Li Xiuchen sold them for cash as soon as he left Flowing Flame Valley. Although they weren't auctioned, they still fetched a large sum of money.
The book says that the second treasure that Li Xiuchen auctioned... was this Buddhist rosary!
As expected, after a moment of silence, Li Xiuchen suddenly raised his sign: "Two hundred and sixty thousand!"
The Buddhist disciple looked at Li Xiuchen in surprise: "This donor again?"
Luo Jianqing said calmly: "Two hundred and eighty thousand."
Li Xiuchen said: "Two hundred and ninety thousand!"
Luo Jianqing smiled slightly: "Three hundred thousand."
Li Xiuchen stopped again. It was obvious that the price he could psychologically bear was also 300,000.
Luo Jianqing calmly waited for Li Xiuchen's decision. He originally thought that Li Xiuchen would give up, but unexpectedly, Li Xiuchen shouted again: "Three hundred and ten thousand!"
Suddenly, Luo Jianqing was stunned.
Is this Buddhist bead so precious?
Luo Jianqing naturally didn't know. The "Seeking Immortality II" he read only mentioned that Li Xiuchen had photographed these things, but didn't explain their use. Luo Jianqing did know about the ring. At the end of the book, Li Xiuchen actually found another sword from the same set, so it seemed possible to complete the set in the future.
But what about this Buddhist bead?
Only Li Xiuchen at the scene knew what this Buddhist bead was.
Hearing Li Xiuchen's bid, the Buddhist disciple said, "Fellow Daoist Luo, since that donor values these beads so much, let's give them up."
Luo Jianqing recalled some of the things Li Xiuchen had done before, and suddenly frowned and shook his head: "Buddha, I don't think this matter can be simply ended." After the voice fell, Luo Jianqing turned around and said: "350,000!"
The price was suddenly raised by 40,000, which caught Li Xiuchen off guard and made him freeze. But after hesitating for a moment, he said, "360,000!"
Luo Jianqing: "Four hundred thousand!"
Li Xiuchen: "Four hundred and ten thousand!"
Luo Jianqing smiled calmly, took a sip of tea, and said calmly: "Five hundred thousand."
"brush--"
Everyone's attention was focused on the private room on the second floor. The Buddhist monk smiled helplessly, but Luo Jianqing remained unmoved. This price was simply too high, double what the auctioneers had originally intended! Li Xiuchen immediately became furious and stopped talking, only glancing at Luo Jianqing repeatedly.
When the beads were delivered to the private room, the Buddhist disciple rushed to offer all the spiritual stones before Luo Jianqing. Seeing this, Luo Jianqing was stunned, and only heard the Buddhist disciple explain: "Daoyou Luo is bidding against that donor for me. How can I let Daoyou Luo spend money?"
Hearing this, Luo Jianqing raised the corners of his lips and said, "It seems that this Buddhist bead is not meant for me."
