Sure enough, you could never win when bidding against Xiao Chen

"The starting price of this lot is two thousand Spirit Stone, and each increase in price shall not be less than one hundred."

As Auctioneer reported the starting price, someone immediately stretched out his hand and shouted, "I will offer two thousand three thousand."

Xiao Chen's voice followed closely. "Three thousand!"

Tian Jianning was shocked when he heard this.

Here he comes again, another violent bidding.

He had been paying attention to when Xiao Chen would bid.

Seeing that Top-Grade Magical Artifact, Earth-grade Inheritance, and the top elixirs were all finished one by one, he was still anxious.

Finally, after it was Top-grade Spiritual Item's turn, the other party finally couldn't sit still.

After hearing such an offer, the scene became quiet for a while, and then another monk raised his hand. "I will pay three thousand one."

Tian Jianning looked over and saw that the other party was RuiBao Merchant Guild, the current President Zhang Ruihao.

This is interesting, the other party is not short of money.

Xiao Chen also took a look. Manager Chen had just introduced him to him.

But he didn't care about the other party's identity. "Four thousand!"

Seeing the price soaring, the monks who originally wanted to bid fell silent and looked back and forth between Xiao Chen and Zhang Ruihao.

Zhang Ruihao frowned slightly, the market price of Six Harmonies Divine Water is usually capped at 3,800 Spirit Stone.

Xiao Chen shouted to 4,000 at once, and if he followed again, he would lose money.

If it were a normal bid, he would give up.

But everyone is watching him now, facing Xiao Chen's aggressive bidding method.

Zhang Ruihao felt that he would lose face by giving in, so he added again, "Four thousand two!"

Xiao Chen thought very clearly that once his <Spirit Nurturing Art> had such a top-level Spirit Liquid, it could greatly increase Cultivation Speed.

In other words, Six Harmonies Divine Water has extra added value for him.

If you spend money on cultivation, as long as it is not too outrageous, you will definitely make money without losing money.

So he raised his hand without hesitation. "Five thousand!"

Even though all of us here are Foundation Establishment Cultivator, facing such a crazy price increase, we all feel a little incredible.

Jiang Family Patriarch Jiang Changhua looked at Xiao Chen in disbelief.

Something's wrong, what's going on?

Xiao Chen didn't Foundation Establishment not long ago?

How could he be so rich?

The other monks were also talking a lot, asking each other who this young-faced monk was.

Not far away, Red Maple Twin Swords is also looking at Xiao Chen.

Old Master Cheng Hearing the high premium, I immediately felt distressed.

What a waste!

Is Six Harmonies Divine Water worth five thousand? Is this how you bid?

Why don't these young people understand how difficult it is to make Spirit Stone?

He remembered that Xiao Chen became Demon Subduing Hall Caretaker at a young age, and he directly understood him as the second generation immortal with the support of Lineage.

At the same time, I decided to go back and find out when Li Fire Sect became such a wealthy Xiao Family.

But there was one person who remained calm.

Tian Jianning turned to look at Xiao Chen, and it was back with this familiar violent price increase method.

He looked at Zhang Ruihao again, wondering what the other party would do when faced with this situation.

Zhang Ruihao is also a little confused now.

No, what's going on?

Is it because he hasn't purchased Six Harmonies Divine Water for so long that he no longer understands the market price?

However, after asking around from the clan members, I found out that the price of Six Harmonies Divine Water has not increased, but the other party is trying to squeeze people out with a premium price.

Although he was a little angry, Zhang Ruihao still maintained restraint.

First of all, he doesn't have a Cultivation Method like <Spirit Nurturing Art>, so from his perspective, if he continues to fight, he is just out of anger and losing money.

Secondly, RuiBao Merchant Guild also needs to save money to bid for several more critical items later.

He took a deep look at Xiao Chen and gave up bidding.

Tian Jianning watched the three biddings end, and Xiao Chen successfully won Six Harmonies Divine Water.

Instead, I felt inexplicably comfortable: Sure enough, you can't win if you bid with Xiao Chen.

Even RuiBao Merchant Guild gave up, so it was reasonable for him to give up at Crushed Stone Valley. This is called heroes seeing the same thing.

Then two more ordinary spiritual objects were interspersed.

Then Auctioneer took out a bottle of Foundation Establishment pill.

"Foundation Establishment Dan is probably very familiar to all fellow Daoists, so I won't talk nonsense."

"These two bottles of Foundation Establishment Dan are auctioned individually."

"The starting price for the first one is one thousand Spirit Stone, and each increase in price shall not be less than fifty Spirit Stone."

These are exactly the seven Foundation Establishment pills provided by Xiao Chen.

As he had expected, although everyone present was Foundation Establishment Cultivator, this batch of Foundation Establishment pills still triggered fierce competition among everyone.

The lowest price among them was sold for 2,500 yuan, Spirit Stone.

The last one had the highest price, which was raised to a full 3,250 yuan Spirit Stone.

This one can almost cover the cost of purchasing Five-Colored Golden Lotus.

However, Xiao Chen needs to wait until the end of halftime before he can go to the second floor and rely on his number plate to collect his earnings.

Then, Five Lights Profound Water was also taken out.

"Fellow Daoists, please take a look."

Auctioneer used Law Technique to create a water mirror, magnifying the image of Five Elements Mutual Generation demonstrated by Five Lights Profound Water in the bottle.

"No matter what Spirit Root you fellow Daoists are, this bottle of Five Lights Profound Water is a rare and precious Spirit Liquid."

"Whether it is used to practice or to understand Cultivation Method, it can get twice the result with half the effort. It is definitely a treasure not to be missed."

"Everyone must have noticed that the Glazed Jade Pure Bottle used for this display has twice the capacity of an ordinary jade bottle. Buying one bottle is equivalent to buying two bottles."

"The starting price of this lot is two thousand Spirit Stone, and each increase in price shall not be less than one hundred."

Xiao Chen first bid. "Three thousand!"

He came again, and everyone present looked at him immediately.

A monk who happened to be short of a bottle of Fire Element Spirit Liquid tried to make an offer. "I will pay three thousand and five thousand."

Xiao Chen followed closely. "Four thousand!"

Four thousand is already a high price.

The last time he bought a half-capacity vial from the Bat Pavilion, it cost two thousand Spirit Stone.

Bat Pavilion, as Black Market, naturally has a high premium.

Everyone on the third floor saw that Xiao Chen was once again determined to win, and finally gave up and continued to fight.

As a result, the general-purpose item Five Lights Profound Water has become the item with the fewest bids so far.

Auctioneer sells loudly, deliberately slows down the number of price calls, and sells loudly.

He was very anxious, how could this happen?

If Five Lights Profound Water only sells for 4,000, it will obviously become a failed auction.

Normally, in a place like an auction, this kind of universal spiritual object should be sold at a new high price.

But no matter what he said, no one continued to raise the price.

As an experienced Auctioneer, he immediately understood Xiao Chen's bidding strategy.

This is a continuous auction, and everyone doesn't know each other that well.

Therefore, in order to put psychological pressure on the opponent in the subsequent competition, it is necessary to present an appearance of not being short of money at the beginning. Use violence to raise the price and show one's financial strength.

If done well, you can dissuade potential competitors later.

It's all a calculation!

Auctioneer looked at Xiao Chen and did not expect that this young man looked young and young, as if he was not very old.

He has so much experience in auctions that he probably participates in many auctions.

.

Seeing that Xiao Chen spent another four thousand Spirit Stone and won a large bottle of top-grade Spirit Liquid.

The other monks became more curious about him, and looked at him one after another.

In particular, some female monks asked Li Fire Sect's acquaintances about Xiao Chen's background.

After that, throughout the first half, Xiao Chen did not continue to participate in the competition.

This also made Auctioneer relieved.

"Fellow Daoists, the second half of the auction will begin at 10:00 in the evening."

"If you want to add more items to the auction, please come to the second floor Consignment Auction half an hour in advance."

"Next, please enjoy the banquet first."

Immediately, a large amount of fine wine and delicacies were placed on everyone's tables.

This meal is not simple. All the ingredients are Spirit Plant or Spirit Beast Meat, including Second-Order Spirit Beast.

Xiao Chen After some rough mental calculation, the cost of such a meal is estimated to be two to three thousand yuan Spirit Stone.

If you add the Spirit Wine which is enough to drink, it will be much more expensive.

From this point of view, even though everyone gave a gift of one thousand Spirit Stone, one third of it could be recovered first just by eating.

Obviously Bright Moon True Person, or Thousand Bamboo True Person who is in charge of the operation, is very generous.

On this point, all the monks sitting here also praised him.

After the meal Xiao Chen went to the second floor and received 17,450 yuan Spirit Stone through the number plate after deducting a 5% handling fee.

He bid twice in the first half and spent a total of 9,000 yuan Spirit Stone.

As a result, he Storage Bag has 8,450 yuan more Spirit Stone than before he came here.

"You have to be a Special Pill like Foundation Establishment dan to make a lot of money."

Xiao Chen couldn't help but sigh, "It saves time and effort, and makes a lot of money."

However, such a high profit is naturally the result of the coincidence of fortuitous opportunity and the joint efforts of the two Hextech.

Under normal circumstances, Foundation Establishment Dan can make a profit of two thousand Spirit Stone in a single refining process, regardless of the cost, which is already considered very impressive.

After all, Five-Colored Golden Lotus is not cheap, and the price usually fluctuates between 3,000 and 4,000 Spirit Stone.

Moreover, due to the scarcity of raw materials and proficiency issues, the overall calculation cannot even guarantee a profit.

One of the biggest hidden difficulties is the cost of practice.

If you want to learn how to refine the Foundation Establishment elixir, it is impossible to succeed in one attempt. If you fail, you will have wasted a precious Five-Colored Golden Lotus.

If you fail just ten times, you can learn a new elixir.

Then he can be regarded as a one-in-a-million alchemy genius.

But even so, it means that at least 30,000 Spirit Stone have evaporated. This tuition fee is not ordinary expensive.

That is to say, Xiao Chen passed [Alchemist's Heart] and directly achieved a 100% success rate.

Otherwise, judging from his previous practice of Qi Nourishing Pill, he might have failed dozens of times, or even hundreds of times.

And he can also get an extra Foundation Establishment pill through [Buy One Get One Free].

For this kind of Spirit Herb cost alone, Special Pill takes up almost 80% of the profit.

If someone else refines it once, even if it works perfectly, they will only get 20% of the profit.

But what he got was a profit of 120%, and the actual profit gap was a full six times!!!

One to one equals one, two to two equals four, rounding off, it is approximately equivalent to a lead of 100 million.

Xiao Chen calculated the accounts and suddenly thought, "No, after returning to the sect this time, I must go to the Pill Refining Hall to see if I can get more Spirit Stone."

Before, he only knew Qi Nourishing Pill, and his income was really limited.

But now that [Alchemist's Heart] has taken off, it's time to readjust the plan.

"But then again, opportunities like Foundation Establishment dan are limited after all."

Xiao Chen When he returned to the third floor, he did not forget to think seriously, "If I switch to other elixirs, I probably won't be able to earn so much."

This is completely foreseeable. Ordinary second-level elixirs are definitely not as profitable as the Foundation Establishment elixir.

My main goal in the future should also be on Special Pill in other categories and take the high-quality route.

"I don't know if I can make a hundred and eighty thousand Spirit Stone back by the end of this year."

Xiao Chen was lost in thought when suddenly he felt a powerful pressure coming down.

A cold voice sounded, "I heard that Li Province has an additional comrade, and Yao Hua is here to congratulate you."

Everyone immediately looked out through the windows and saw a flower basket as big as a house hanging in the sky.

A young fairy in colorful clothes stood out of thin air, standing in front of the flower basket, congratulating Thousand Bamboo Pavilion.

Her face is pure and beautiful, like flower petals moistened by morning dew; her skin is covered with snow, like unpainted porcelain; her long hair hangs down to her waist, like a beauty walking out of a painting. Her neon clothes sway gently in the wind, sometimes reflecting rainbow-like light, like a dream.

Thousand Bamboo True Person's voice sounded, "It turns out to be Fellow Daoist Yao Hua from Ten Thousand Flowers Valley, please come in quickly."

Hearing this, Jade Bloom True Person moved lightly with lotus steps, and different flowers bloomed on the soles of her feet, like a flower path welcoming her into the attic.

It wasn't until her figure disappeared that a heated discussion broke out on the third floor.

"Ten Thousand Flowers Valley is not located in He Province, how come it came to our Li Province?"

"It's so strange. I have never heard that Bright Moon True Person has ever been to He Province. I didn't expect to know such an otherworldly fairy."

"I once heard someone say that most of Ten Thousand Flowers Valley's disciples are female. I don't know if it's true or not."

Manager Chen's reaction was very direct. "Fuck, what a beautiful fairy."

His statement immediately won the approval of his deskmate Chen Zhiquan: "Indeed, this is simply the most beautiful beauty I have ever seen in my life."

Xiao Chen glanced at them. Although Jade Bloom True Person looks good, that's not the point.

The point is that in this current situation, a Golden Core True Person from He Province came to Li Province specially, and it seemed that he paid a surprise visit, which is very intriguing.

At the speed of Golden Core True Person, there is no reason to be late.

It's only possible that I didn't receive the invitation, so I came late after hearing the news.

Xiao Chen did not see Jade Bloom True Person bringing the other Ten Thousand Flowers Valley disciples with him. This was probably because he was leaving in a hurry.

But this is just a guess. Maybe he just likes to be alone.

This little episode passed quickly.

After all, True Person are talking on the top floor, and it basically has nothing to do with them on the third floor.

What everyone is more concerned about is the second half auction album that they just got.

Xiao Chen browsed through it quickly and found that many things in the second half were even better than the first half.

I don't know if it was left on purpose or if someone in the middle of the field added more items to the auction.

"Hey, Five-Colored Golden Lotus!"

Halfway through the show, Xiao Chen was surprised to find that Five-Colored Golden Lotus appeared in the second half.

This is good stuff. Now he has tasted the sweetness of Foundation Establishment Pill. This golden lotus is definitely not to be missed.

.

Xiao Chen turned to the last page of the album with great interest.

But unfortunately, his original target, Rock Core Mai Dong, did not appear.

But there was no time to regret, as the finale of the auction immediately attracted his full attention.

"East Flower Yin Yang Wood, Wind Thunder Pair Swords!"

Xiao Chen looked at the three-foot-long Flying Sword in the album, and immediately couldn't take his eyes away.

First of all, he currently lacks Law Artifact, which is mainly for attacking.

Relatively speaking, Hidden Fire Treasure Gourd is more functional and even defensive against Fire Element Spell.

Although its own Mysterious Fire is not weak, it is not sharp enough.

Secondly, the <Seven Stars Swordplay> he is practicing now also needs a Top-Grade Magical Artifact level Flying Sword in order to exert its maximum power.

Finally, both swords belong to Top-Grade Magical Artifact.

It is suitable for his Minor Three Talents Sword Formation Diagram. In the future, he can also form Sword Formation to tap greater potential.

If he can win this set of Wind Thunder Pair Swords, his strength will be greatly improved instantly, and there is not much room for improvement in the future.

But an obvious problem is that the price of Top-Grade Magical Artifact is very expensive.

And this is a pair of two, so it must be more expensive.

Although he earned more than a thousand Spirit Stone in the first half, he still couldn't afford it.

What to do?

There is still half an hour before the auction starts. Should I give up this opportunity, or should I seize the time to raise money?

Xiao Chen hesitated for a while, but decided to borrow it.

In fact, he is not a person who likes to borrow money from others.

However, this opportunity is truly rare and should not be missed.

Secondly, he has now found a way to make money quickly. Even if he owes a debt of 20,000 to 30,000 Spirit Stone, he is fully capable of paying it off.

So after a little thought, Xiao Chen decided to raise money to bid.

Thinking of a large number of Spirit Stone, the first thing he thought of was Old Master Su.

However, Old Master Su did not come to attend the ceremony, so we ruled it out first.

Then, he thought of Elder Chen and Manager Chen.

After all, he only has a few acquaintances in total.

At this time, Xiao Chen suddenly felt that he really didn't know many people. No wonder Shen Siyue said that he was a bit lonely at the beginning.

Elder Chen was very easy to talk to, so he directly took out five thousand Spirit Stone.

Manager Chen also took two thousand Spirit Stone, and Chen Zhiquan took the initiative to take three thousand Spirit Stone upon seeing this.

Three people helped raise 10,000 Spirit Stone.

To be honest, this is quite a lot.

That is to say, they are all important personnel of the Chen Family, otherwise they would not bring so many Spirit Stone.

Elder Chen also felt a little regretful. "I did bring a lot of Spirit Stone with me when I went out this time, but I spent a little too much on spiritual materials before."

"If you're much worse off, can I borrow some more for you?"

What he meant was that he would borrow money from other monks on behalf of Xiao Chen.

Xiao Chen did the math, and now that he has added the ten thousand Spirit Stone, there is a total of thirty-two thousand five hundred and ninety-three Spirit Stone.

If one Top-Grade Magical Artifact costs more than ten thousand Spirit Stone, there is already a chance to win Wind Thunder Pair Swords.

But this opportunity is hard to say.

After all, there are so many big Lineage here, maybe someone will also like this set of swords.

Hiss~, very annoying.

"Junior Brother Xiao, didn't you bring enough Spirit Stone?"

While Xiao Chen was struggling, Elder Liu walked over from the side.

Since Ten Thousand Demons Mountain Range came back, he has paid great attention to Xiao Chen.

I just saw Manager Chen and they took out Spirit Stone and handed it to Xiao Chen. I immediately realized that this was a good opportunity.

And as the Liu Family monk with the highest cultivation level, he happened to hold a large amount of Spirit Stone in his hand.

What a coincidence, isn't it!

So he immediately walked over with a smile and asked with concern, "Last time we killed demons together, I didn't have time to thank Junior Brother Xiao."

"I just happened to have some Spirit Stone here, why not use Junior Brother Xiao first?"

"Junior Brother Xiao Don't refuse, just give me a chance to repay you."

Elder Liu's tone sounded like he was begging Xiao Chen to lend him money.

Even though he was obviously the one who came to help.

Xiao Chen was a little embarrassed. "Senior Brother Liu, I may be short of more Spirit Stone."

Is there such a good thing?

Instead, Elder Liu's eyes lit up. "It doesn't matter, I brought a lot of Spirit Stone this time, junior brother is short of many."

If you borrow more, that would be great.

I am not afraid that you will want more, but I am afraid that you will not want it.

He simply took off a small Storage Bag from his waist and removed the spiritual restraint. "Before coming here this time, I specially brought some Spirit Stone to see if I could encounter something good."

"I didn't expect that after reading the album, I didn't like anything."

"Junior Brother Xiao Just use them all."

None of the people around expected that Elder Liu actually took out all his Storage Bag.

Liu Shiqing, who was standing next to Elder Liu, had his eyes widened.

What's going on?

When Lineage comes out this time, don't we have to purchase a batch of Spirit Tea and a batch of top-grade Spirit Fruit?

Why did you lend out all Spirit Stone? Don't you want to buy anything in the second half?

She was so shocked that she even forgot to ask, and her brain immediately shut down.

But Elder Liu didn't care so much, and directly put Storage Bag in Xiao Chen's hands. "There is an old friend over there who I haven't seen for a long time, waiting for me to reminisce."

"I'll go over first."

After saying that, he took Liu Shiqing directly back to the Liu Family.

Xiao Chen Divine Sense probed into Storage Bag, which had been released from spiritual imprisonment, and there was a total of 48,000 Spirit Stone inside.

It can be seen that this is definitely the Lineage bidding funds that were raised in advance before coming here.

He was just thinking about Wind Thunder Pair Swords and hesitated a little.

Elder Liu left directly without giving him a chance to refuse.

Anyway, this is a rare opportunity, so just accept it first.

If there is a chance later, Double Compensation will be the one.

Xiao Chen got enough Spirit Stone at once, so he relaxed and returned to his seat, waiting for the start of the second half.

On the other side, Liu Shiqing finally reacted. "Second uncle, lend all Spirit Stone to Senior Brother Xiao, then we won't buy anything in the second half?"

She couldn't understand at all what kind of operation Elder Liu was.

"It's okay."

Elder Liu waved his hand. "I'll go and share some with my family, and I'll just buy less Spirit Fruit and go back."

Then he and other Liu Family Foundation Establishment scraped together more than ten thousand Spirit Stone.

A Clan Elder from the Liu Family learned about the situation and asked with concern, "Zhi Shui, why did you lend that young man so many Spirit Stone."

Elder Liu smiled, "The reason is a long story. Anyway, please rest assured, uncle and everyone, after these Spirit Stone go back, the clan will return them in time from Clan Treasury."

Another Liu Family Clan Elder first asked Liu Shiqing to inquire about Xiao Chen.

Then he expressed some distress. "Although the other party has borrowed Chen Family, he is still alone after all. He borrowed so many Spirit Stones, and maybe he won't be able to pay them back in a few decades."

"Zhi Shui You were too impulsive this time. The Spirit Stone you borrowed is really too much."

Elder Liu smiled but said nothing.

Too many Spirit Stones have been lent?

No, no, no, he thought he had brought too little.

As for not getting there yet?

That would be even better, this is the effect we want.

If the money is paid off early, it will be a loss. It is better if the money is owed for a longer period of time and become a debt of gratitude.
