Chapter 51: Top Quality
He Cen was peeling peanuts vigorously. "No, then I can't sit still, right?"
"I haven't eaten anything in the forbidden area for thousands or tens of thousands of years. What's wrong with eating a little more? It doesn't cost much. One high-quality spirit stone is enough for me to eat for a long time. Look how frugal I am."
He was also good at playing nice and trying to please others, so Jun Chao couldn't bear to say a word to him.
Besides, He Cen only has this little desire for food, and he doesn't have any other bad habits. When I teach him things during the day, the little sword spirit is also very serious. Just spoil him for this little preference.
In the end, she even helped him peel the shell. In the past, Jun Chao would never have imagined that there would be such a day.
He Cen didn't notice the changes in them. He sat next to him and whispered to Jun Chao and Bei Qi to play crickets together.
"The auction hasn't even started yet, why are they already discussing this? How did they know the auction list?"
Jun Chao explained to him in a low voice, "The Bai family is in power here, and they will know some of the auction lists in advance. In addition, there are some major sects of immortal cultivation. The auction will be friendly with these major sects, so it is understandable to leak the news in advance."
"There are many ways to pass information within the Alliance. As long as the auction items are not the most important, the auction will turn a blind eye to it."
"Did He He hear what you wanted?"
He Cen shook his head, "No, I haven't heard anything good. Don't buy anything for me, it's not applicable. If there is something good, I will tell you directly."
"I don't have many resources now. I rely on you to support me. We can't waste too much."
Jun Chao sighed in his heart, but patiently explained to him, "There are only a few of us who support you as an apprentice. What's the point of talking about whether it's a waste or not? Without the three of them, I can support one person."
"You are a sword spirit, we cannot afford to be perfunctory with the things we give you. We have to use the best. Don't worry about wasting money on us. Your value to us is much higher than these material possessions."
Bei Qi and Wen Qing also nodded, "That's right, He He, why are you being so polite to your teacher?"
"The spiritual elixirs used in the Golden Core Stage and the Foundation Building Stage are not expensive. If I am not willing to spend this little money on you, how will my reputation be ruined if it gets out?"
"If you are not willing to spend money on your own apprentice, then I am too stingy."
He Cen chuckled twice, "That's not what I meant. Of course I know you guys are good to me, and I'm not prepared to be awkward with you guys, but it's a waste to buy unnecessary things. The things you found when I went to a few secret places last time were still useful. I really don't need them anymore."
He insisted again and again, and the others in the imperial court had no choice but to give up.
While they were talking in low voices, they caught a glimpse of Ouyang Yinyin coming in. He Cen's eyes darkened slightly, and he scanned her body. Seeing that she had not changed much, he felt relieved.
It seems that she has not practiced well in the past few months and her attention has shifted to her face.
Even the system became silent for a while.
After entering, I heard her ask the system once what good things there were, and there was no other conversation.
He Cen did not hide it from his good brothers, "That strategy girl wants to buy Lingxiao Xianya. If we don't compete with her for it, it will be useless to us."
Bei Qi raised his eyebrows, "That thing is also for detoxification. It seems that her face is seriously injured."
He Cen said indifferently, "Don't worry about her. Let her do whatever she wants. It's not our spiritual stones that are being spent anyway."
Wen Qing also chimed in, "I haven't heard any useful news from my Skeleton recently. It seems she hasn't been doing any missions recently."
Bei Qi sneered, "That's perfect. There won't be any points like He He mentioned. Without those things, even if that strange system is extremely powerful, it probably won't be able to support a young lady like her."
These words were full of sarcasm, and He Cen couldn't help but curl his lips when he heard them.
It seems that he is not the only one. These big guys also have increasing dislike for Ouyang Yinyin.
The auction was about to begin. He Cen ate while looking at the items. A dozen or so items passed by as usual, but there was nothing noteworthy.
There are many aristocratic families and sects of immortal cultivators here, and some independent cultivators have no competitiveness at all. The better things have been bought up by those cultivators with rich family backgrounds, and the rest are just rubbish that can only be picked up by independent cultivators.
Ouyang Yinyin was quite smart. She was a disciple of the Tianhai Sect and had tokens and other things. With the support of the Bai family, she was able to get the Lingxiao Immortal Bud smoothly.
He Cen ignored her. The seventeenth lot was made of ironwood of three qualities: high, medium and low. He squinted his eyes and took a look. He quickly pulled the sleeves of the two people next to him and said, "Buy, buy, buy. Hurry up and bid."
"I want the best quality ones. I want all three."
Jun Chao and Wen Qing were stunned for a moment, "Okay."
Bei Qi on the side raised his eyebrows, "Baby, ironwood is quite common. These three pieces of top-grade wood are only a thousand years old and of average quality. Do you really want them?"
He Cen nodded frantically, "Yes, yes, yes, trust me, take the photo quickly."
When he said he wanted it, the three big guys of course did not hesitate and started bidding.
Sitting in the front was the Huangji Sect, a major sect of the Xia Dynasty. They also took a fancy to these three pieces of top-grade ironbone wood and planned to go back to build a new fairy ship for the sect. They originally thought that they could get it for 800,000 low-grade spirit stones, but when Wen Qing and others started bidding, the price went up quickly.
Jun Chao and his men did not even bother to bid with low-grade spirit stones, and they asked for a hundred high-grade spirit stones at the first opening, causing the Huangji Sect's gang to look sideways at them repeatedly.
These three pieces of ironwood are only of thousand-year-old quality. Why would they require so many spirit stones?
Moreover, each person bid 100, so these three sections together would cost 3 million low-grade spirit stones. How could this ironwood be worth so much money? Where did these three suckers come from to spend so many high-grade spirit stones to buy this?
The people from Huangji Sect felt sad about the high price they had raised, and secretly cursed these ignorant monks for not giving face to Huangji Sect. They would have to teach them a lesson when they got out.
He Cen didn't think too much about it. He was quite excited to see that all three sections of ironwood were photographed.
"Great, great! When can we get it?"
Jun Chao held down his hands, which were about to move, and said, "The auction is over. Be quiet for a while."
Bei Qi glanced at the monks of the Huangji Sect and laughed out loud, "Hey, it seems like we are being hated. We are trying to steal things from a big sect. We might be assassinated later."
He Cen was stunned. "Ah? Is this how you attract hatred?"
The three of them laughed softly.
They were just teasing He Cen. If they were really going to be hunted down, would they still be afraid?
The things in the back weren't anything good, except for a pink monster skin that looked pretty good. He Cen's eyes were almost glued to it, so he pulled Bei Qi and asked for it by name, "This is pretty. Go ahead and buy it and make clothes for you."
Bei Qi was stunned. "Give it to me?"
"Yeah! It looks good. I think it suits you~"
