Golden Eyes Snow Teeth
It has a lion's head, a long mane, and is covered in Jade Scale Armor.
The beast's eyes reflected a dazzling light under the candlelight, like flowing, molten lava.
Though the beast is dead, its power remains.
As Zhu Bingcan unveiled the black curtain, a suppressed gasp of surprise erupted in the hall.
Compared to the invitation system of the second level, the participants in the first level are much less knowledgeable and less capable, and they can feel a much stronger aura when facing the strange beasts directly.
Liang Qu couldn't help but straighten up.
How long has it been since he felt ravenously hungry and had an indescribable craving for a certain food since Uncle Chen gave him that meat pie?
I never imagined I would experience this today through a Great Monster Spirit.
He glanced at his senior brothers, but they didn't react much. Was it his fault? Zhu Bingcan's voice boomed as he grabbed the Golden-Eyed Beast's mane, lifted its head, and displayed it more clearly to the bidders in the second-floor VIP box.
"As everyone knows, the Azure Water Golden Eyes Beast can be ridden to the heavens and the seas, and is capable of going anywhere. Its eyes are like the bright sun, and can distinguish between loyalty and treachery, dispel illusions, and distinguish truth from falsehood."
This Golden-Eyed Beast was obtained in the middle reaches of the Jiang Huai River. Although it is not as powerful as the superior Azure Water Golden Eyes Beast, and its strength is only that of Great Monster Spirit, its Golden Eye are still excellent resources for cultivating pupil techniques.
The items up for auction today are the pair of Golden Eye of the Golden-Eyed Beast, still intact and their essence undiminished. The starting price is eight hundred taels! Each bid must be at least one hundred taels higher!
Cultivating eye techniques?
Liang Qu was desperately longing for those Golden Eye! From this point, he suddenly thought of Marsh Ape, and then of Wu Zhiqi.
With a green body and white hair, Golden Eyes Snow Teeth, he possessed immense strength!
Wu Zhiqi's immense strength was reflected in his body, resulting in Innate Martial Bone, with tendons as large as dragons and bones as strong as tigers.
Could it be that the Golden Eye are also a special ability? Liang Qu's mind raced, and many things came to mind in an instant.
Xun Ge'er said that the Monkey King's original form was Wu Zhiqi, and the Monkey King also has Fiery Eyes Golden Eyes, which are Wu Zhiqi's Golden Eye...
Furthermore, the original meaning of the word "Qu" is "an eagle with alert eyes", while "" means "an eagle perched on the hunter's hand, its eyes sharp and alert, ready to hunt".
The combination of and is .
means monkey! Liang Qu probably understood why he longed for the eyes of the golden-eyed beast so much. It might be of great use! "Nine hundred taels!"
"Nine hundred taels at a time..."
"One thousand two hundred taels!"
"Alright, Lord Number Ninety-Six bids one thousand two hundred taels!"
"Thirteen hundred taels!"
Liang Qu raised his sign and shouted.
"Alright, Lord Number Seventy-Eight has offered 1,300 taels. Is there anyone offering a higher bid?"
The other people in the same private room cast puzzled glances at them.
Xiang ChangSong asked, "Junior brother, why are you taking pictures of this? Have you been practicing eye techniques?"
Liang Qu couldn't answer.
He couldn't make up a story about having a special eye technique; what if his senior brothers asked for it?
It's not that he's unwilling to give; it's precisely because he's willing to give that things become awkward. He can't offer anything of his own, so he can only give vague answers.
"I am useful."
Yang Dongxiong didn't ask any further questions, only asking, "Did you bring enough money?"
"Don't worry, Master, it should be enough."
"If you don't have enough, just ask."
"Yes."
Yang Dongxiong said no more.
Liang Qu touched the Silver Note on his chest.
The starting bid alone was all his wealth. With only nine hundred Silver Note and fifty taels of cash, it was impossible for him to win the bid for those Golden Eye unless he borrowed money from his Master and fellow disciples.
but...
Liang Qu touched the other pocket.
The Mermaid Tear are among them.
Celestial Ship Merchant Guild offers pawn services, especially at auctions, to facilitate participants in converting their assets into cash.
Selling the Mermaid Tear should have netted me two thousand taels, right? Too bad I didn't get a bargain.
Why is it that others can find seemingly insignificant treasures at auctions, while he finds highly sought-after items? Well, it makes sense. Unless it's a blind box auction, anything that goes to auction has already been thoroughly appraised by experts; how could someone else possibly snag a bargain? "Fiveteen hundred taels! Seventeen hundred taels! Two thousand taels! Anything higher?"
Zhu Bingcan's voice was seductive as he manipulated the Golden-Eyed Beast's head.
"Two thousand three hundred taels!"
As prices continued to rise, Liang Qu felt his heart bleed.
The eyes are so fragile, and the practice of pupil techniques is even more difficult.
There won't be too many people in need, which means there will be few bidders. However, the downside is that if someone really needs it, they won't give up easily!
"Three thousand five hundred taels!"
"Three thousand six hundred taels!"
Liang Qu gritted his teeth and added another hundred.
The Golden Eye of the Golden-Eyed Beast were the eighth item in the auction. Based on the price trend, this price was basically the limit, and going any higher would result in a loss.
Sure enough, the price was raised to 3,600 taels, and the other bidders hesitated for a long time before not raising the price any further.
The treasure is good, but let's wait and see; there might be something better.
Zhu Bingcan shouted three times, making the final decision.
"Congratulations to Lord Number Seventy-Eight for winning the eighth item, the eyes of the Golden-Eyed Beast!"
Liang Qu breathed a sigh of relief.
Xiang ChangSong looked on in amazement. "I can't believe it! Where did you get so much money, Junior Brother?"
"It's not certain whether it exists or not." Liang Qu took out the Mermaid Tear, waved it in front of his senior brothers, and quickly walked to the door under everyone's curious gaze.
"Grown ups."
The waiter bowed slightly.
"I want to pawn it."
"What type of treasure does the adult wish to offer as collateral?"
A porcelain appraiser cannot identify jewelry.
Even a master of alchemy cannot appraise porcelain.
Therefore, the attendant asked this question.
"Jewelry".
"Hold on."
The waiter hurriedly left.
Most of the time, the waiters standing outside the door served as errand runners, conveying information and summoning people. They were required to be quick on their feet and physically fit, so there were no female waiters assigned to them.
It's not a brothel.
None of the fellow disciples had ever seen Mermaid Tear, so they asked Liang Qu for some to pass around and read.
Xu Zishuai picked up the pearl. "Mermaid Tear are actually that small?"
Xiang ChangSong nudged his head in. "I've only heard of it, never seen it before. How much could such a small one be worth?"
"Several thousand taels? It should be at least two thousand taels. I often see the saying in ancient books that Mermaid Tear are worth a thousand gold pieces. Even if there is an exaggeration, it should be at least 20%."
"So expensive? Junior brother, where did you find it? Are you trying to make a fortune with me? I'll massage your legs and point you to a spot, and I'll personally wade in to find it! We'll split it 50/50."
Xu Zishuai stepped forward and massaged Liang Qu's shoulders.
"Senior brother is joking. I only found this one Mermaid Tear in the water, and it was found by my River Dolphin. There are no more."
That's a real shame.
After about half a cup of tea's time, the waiter brought in a Steward and two appraisers.
Liang Qu took the Mermaid Tear, which had been circulating among his fellow apprentices, and handed it to two jewelry appraisers.
One of them put on a polished glass lens and carefully examined it by the light of Golden Bright Oil.
The Steward was a connoisseur; he could guess a thing or two just by looking at the shape of the jewelry, and considering the identity of the person in the private room, it was probably genuine.
He bowed respectfully and asked, "What you wish to pawn, sir, is it perhaps Mermaid Tear?"
"Exactly."
"Mermaid Tear!"
Another jeweler, who hadn't yet handled the jewelry, was taken aback. He looked at his companion, who nodded at him, clearly indicating that it was genuine!
He quickly took the Mermaid Tear, put on a magnifying glass, and examined it carefully. After a moment, he reached the same conclusion as the previous jewelry appraiser.
"It's genuine!" The Steward remarked with emotion, "In the last three hundred years, there haven't been many Mermaid Tear circulating in the market; most of them come from the sea."
"Then help me get an estimate."
"No problem."
The Steward looked at the two appraisers, waiting for an answer.
After exchanging ideas and nodding to each other, one of the appraisers stepped forward and spoke.
"This Mermaid Tear is of medium size and of average shape, but its quality is excellent. Let's round it up to three thousand taels. What do you think?"
The senior students who were listening in made a slight commotion.
A tiny, transparent bead, no bigger than a fingernail, is worth three thousand taels of silver.
Is the River Conservancy Office short-staffed? Is it too late to join now and receive River Dolphin finless porpoise?
"Alright, then three thousand taels it is."
Yang Dongxiong was sitting behind him, and Liang Qu didn't think the other party would dare to deceive him.
Furthermore, the purpose of offering this business is to facilitate participants in realizing their assets. Who are eligible to participate in the auction? Naturally, those with integrity are the primary considerations.
With the money and goods settled, Liang Qu received three brand-new thousand-tael Silver Note, and with what he had on him, he still had three hundred and fifty taels left!
