Four hundred and ninetieth eight chapters scam(1/2)
Looking at Tianyou walking in the team and surrounded by a large group of powerful children, Mi Tianying could only grit her teeth and look from afar. It’s not that he doesn’t want to be the focus of everyone, but because in this situation, even if he forcibly squeezes in, it will only become a green leaf that sets off the red flowers. After all, riding a tiger or something is so enviable!
In contrast to Mi Tianying, Tianyou, who was originally just a new arrival, became the core of the crowd. Riding on the back of Hu Niu, who was 1.8 meters tall, naturally taller than the powerful children who were also riding spirit riders around him. It would be impossible not to attract attention.
The tiger is a bug-level existence that combines two extreme attributes: majesty and cuteness. Moreover, the tiger demon is an evolutionary enhanced version above it, which brings the two characteristics to the extreme. The toned body, the powerful muscle lines, the noble and inviolable kingly aura that is unconsciously emitted when you walk around, all of which make people feel awe. However, the round ears, furry head, and gorgeous fur exudes a cute cat-like aura that makes people want to get close to, or even touch them and hug them.
These two incredible temperaments are now concentrated on Hu Niu, but the powerful and noble children around him unconsciously gathered around Tianyou. Yanran has forgotten the original organizer Mi Tianying.
In fact, the people gathered around Tianyou were not only the "cat slaves" attracted by Hu Niu's body form, or in other words, most of them were not gathered because of Hu Niu.
Tianyou is not alone, so it is not just Tianyou on Hu Niu's back. Qi Xiaomei sat sideways behind Tianyou, leaning against Tianyou's spine to stabilize her body. Almost half of the male powerful children around Tianyou came for Qi Xiaomei.
Even if you know that Qi Xiaomei is Tianyou's junior sister and can follow Tianyou to Yizhou Island, it is obviously not just a simple relationship between classmates. But after all, the two are just classmates at present, so... there is still a chance, right?
You should know that in this Shenzhou Continent, strength is the most respected. The cultivators are the representative of strength. The sects gathered by the monks are naturally the gathering of strength. However, among these many gatherings, Zixiao Palace is even more like the Beidou of Mount Tai, just like the Shaolin Temple in the martial arts world. Although Zixiao Palace has not yet been so awesome as Shaolin Temple, it is actually not inferior to the name of "The World's Martial Arts Out of Shaolin".
It is precisely because of the name of Zixiao Palace that those Zixiao Palace sects who were walking outside became the focus of attention of all walks of life. Of course, it is not about doing anything to them, but about recruiting, making friends, and even further developing into Taoist couples. You should know that Ji Yao is the princess of Chu, and after marriage, she became the right-hand man of the King of Chu. Mi Fusheng has been operating in Yizhou Island for many years but dared not rebel openly, most of which are because of fear of this princess.
With the King of Chu, a ready-made role model, it would be abnormal for the younger generation of Chu to say that they had no idea about the fairies from Zixiao Palace. So at this time, Qi Xiaomei was even more attractive to these people than Tianyou, which caused a group of crazy bees and butterflies to follow Tianyou and chat with Qi Xiaomei in an attempt to get closer.
Of course, the male powerful children were targeting Qi Xiaomei, and the remaining female powerful children naturally targeted Tianyou. However, there was a difference between men and women. The noble daughters were naturally embarrassed to be as direct as those young men and brothers. Even if they wanted to get close to Tianyou, they had to pretend to be reserved. Fortunately, except for Qi Xiaomei, Hu Qingxuan, who was holding in Tianyou's arms, could just make that excuse.
Don't get me wrong. Tianyou hasn't been so wild that he openly hugged the beautiful woman in front of so many people. He is not the playboys behind him.
In fact, Hu Qingxuan is now in the same form as Hu Niu, which is just a little white fox. Tianyou hugged Hu Qingxuan like a kitten, which naturally would not cause criticism. However, Hu Qingxuan is both human and animal, and is also adorable, but when he is human, he is more likely to attract perverts, while when he is beast, he attracts women.
Whether it was really that he had no resistance to the little white fox in Tianyou's hands or was greedy for Tianyou's body, there were a large group of noble girls around him chattering and talking nonstop.
At this time, the ones who could surround Tianyou were all powerful children riding Lingji, and those in the car could not be attached. The noble girls who could choose Lingji to travel instead of taking the car were naturally more outgoing. In addition, Tianyou was not a dull gourd type, so he naturally had a good chat with a group of noble girls. However, the little sister behind her could not resist the enthusiasm of the group of young men and men, and regretted participating in this trip and not staying in the warm pavilion.
In this way, with the laughter and the gritting teeth around Tianyou and the gritting of Mi Tianying, everyone finally came to their destination today. However, Tianyou found that he seemed to have been here once before.
Damn, isn’t this the auction hall in Wanbao Pavilion?
"Come down quickly, we're here." Mi Tianying, who had been holding back all the way, finally adjusted her mood. As soon as she arrived at the place, she came to Tianyou first. "How is it? I didn't expect there was such a place hidden in this mountain forest, right?"
Tianyou raised his arm lightly, allowing Hu Qingxuan to transform into a graceful fairy in white clothes to land lightly. Then he jumped down to the ground, turned around and helped Xiaomei Qi down. Then he patted Hu Niu's back twice to indicate that she could turn back into a human form.
After doing all this, Tianyou slowly turned to Mi Tianying. He first observed the surroundings and looked around, and then answered: "It is really unique to build this house between mountains and forests. What's even more rare is that there is a natural cave, which is not a beautiful view, and it is quite appropriate to be a place to stay away from the world. I just don't know why my cousin Tianying chose this place as a place to travel? There seems to be no place to visit nearby?"
Tianyou didn't tell Mi Tianying that he had been here, obviously Mi Tianying didn't know that he had been here. Tianyou discovered before that although Mi Tianque and Mi Tianying couldn't be said to have a bad relationship, there was little communication between them. To be honest, they couldn't play together at all, so although the relationship was not bad, there was no communication.
Since Mi Tianying didn't know, Tianyou continued to pretend that it was his first time. Anyway, he would not reveal information to Mi Tianying on his own initiative. This guy was obviously holding back his bad intentions and wanted to cheat him. Tianyou naturally wanted to try his best to maintain the advantage of unequal information.
Mi Tianying didn't know what Tianyou was thinking, and when she heard Tianyou's question, she pretended to explain.
This guy thought that Tianyou was here for the first time, so the introduction was very detailed. However, in his introduction, Tianyou also discovered that Mi Tianying knew that he had been to Wanbao Pavilion, but he didn't know that he had been to this workshop area.
After briefly introducing the purpose of this place, Mi Tianying turned to the topic.
"Actually, today we will bring you a long experience and let you see these rare treasures overseas. If you have anything you like, just tell Brother Wei, you will definitely buy it for you."
Tianyou was puzzled, is Mi Tianying showing off her financial resources? But is it meaningful to her to do so?
Despite his doubts, Tianyou still pretended to nodded and agreed.
At this time, the young masters and daughters around had already got out of the carriage and gathered together, and then walked into the cave as the auction hall with a chat and laughter.
The last time I came to Tianyou, I didn’t attend the auction, so I didn’t know much about this auction, but I saw it this time.
Although it was renovated from a cave, the interior decoration of this auction house is not simple. The auction house mainly based on logs makes good use of the structure of the rocks itself and is supplemented by wooden decorations, which has a unique flavor.
A large group of princes and grandsons walked into the auction hall and sat down separately. It was obviously not the first time they participated. The servants of Wanbao Pavilion served fruit plates and pastries, and even some fruits and vegetables that they had never seen before. The treatment was obviously different from the last auction. I think this Wanbao Pavilion also knows how to read the dishes. The reception level is different, and the things prepared by Wanbao Pavilion is different. I have to say that Feng Wu is quite business-minded.
The servants here quickly retreated after setting up the things, and then the curtains in the depths of the cave were lifted up by two servants. An old man in a brocade robe in his fifties walked out of it, giving people a feeling of extraordinary demeanor at first glance. However, under the sight of Tianyou's spiritual vision, it can be seen that the old man was just an ordinary person without any cultivation, and perhaps because he was old, his qi and blood were not very strong.
The old man obviously knew these princes and Gongsuns, and as soon as he came out, he bowed to everyone to say hello. The group of people below responded a few words with face, and then began to urge him to take out all the good things as soon as possible.
Hearing the urging, the old man didn't deliberately hold everyone up, and immediately asked the servants behind to bring out the first item.
It was actually a bit inaccurate to move, it should be said that it was moving. Tianyou found that the first item was surprisingly large. Eight people carefully moved the thing to the booth. When they put it down, Tianyou even felt a slight tremor coming from the ground. It was estimated that this thing weighed at least one or two tons, but it was thanks to the servants just now who had some kung fu foundation, so it might not be able to lift it even if they were ordinary people.
The thing was put out, but it was covered with a red cloth, so I couldn't see what it was. I knew it was very big, like a screen, but the thickness was not very similar to a screen, and it seemed to be a little thicker.
The old man had no intention of sucking people's appetite. As the things were put in place, a servant carefully picked up the red cloth on it with a long golden stick. As the red cloth fell, a burst of air sucking sounds immediately around Tianyou, and someone even stood up from his seat.
In fact, it was not only those princes and Gongsuns, but even Tianyou was surprised. This was actually a whole piece of dragon blood coral. The huge size and the bright red light particles lingering on it were simply shining. Tianyou was stunned.
If it was a simple piece of red coral, Tianyou would not have such a big reaction. At most, he would be surprised. After all, no matter how big or beautiful the coral is, it is just a decoration, but the piece in front of him is a dragon blood coral! This thing is not only a question of whether it looks good or not, it is a weapon refining and cultivation material!
What is the most expensive in the Shenzhou Continent? The answer is divine weapons and magic weapons.
Why are divine weapons and magic treasures valuable?
Three reasons.
First, there are fewer weapon refiners, and fewer have the ability.
Second, there are many monks and a large demand.
The third is that the materials are rare.
This dragon blood coral itself is a top-level refining material with extremely low yields. What's worse is that it is also a cultivation material, and it can be regarded as a low-level magic weapon without any processing.
Dragon Blood Coral can absorb spiritual energy and form a high-concentration spiritual energy enrichment area within a certain range of the body. Its efficacy is about the same as a downgraded version of an artificial spiritual spring. Think about what the major forces of the spiritual spring were like in the beginning? The value of this dragon blood coral is self-evident.
Moreover, there is another characteristic of Dragon Blood Coral, which is that its aggregation ability of spiritual energy increases exponentially as it increases in volume. That is to say, the larger the Dragon Blood Coral, the higher the value, and its value growth is not equal proportion, but is amplified step by step.
This mountain has low yield, is so widely used, and has extremely huge functions. This dragon blood coral is a life of a valuable item!
However, it is precisely because of the value of dragon blood coral that it is extremely difficult to obtain.
This thing is called dragon blood coral, and it is naturally a type of coral. Since it is a coral, it naturally grows in the sea.
This sea is different from land. That place is not suitable for humans or immortals and Buddhas to survive, but many individuals of the demon clan adapt to such an environment. To put it bluntly, monsters in the sea are better than humans.
There are many monsters in this sea, and the dragon blood coral can naturally gather spiritual energy without processing. How could there be no monsters gather around? Moreover, the larger the dragon blood coral, the higher the level of monsters around it. Several high-level monsters often appear to reach agreements to live together around a dragon blood coral.
Faced with this situation, it would be a fantasy to get the dragon blood coral out of the sea. Tianyou had seen a small piece of dragon blood coral the size of a palm from Zhenyuan Shangxian. This was the one that Zhenyuan Shangxian asked several fellow disciples to help snatch it out of the sea. As for other places... Tianyou had only heard of it, but had never seen this dragon blood coral.
The dragon blood coral, the size of a palm-sized immortal of Zhenyuan, is already the treasure among the treasures. What is the size of a screen in front of him weighing one or two tons? Rare treasures are no longer enough to describe the value of this thing. OK!
Dongdong...
The old man on the stage knocked on the shocked wood on the table twice.
"As for things, you have seen them. As for the value of this thing... many people may not understand it, and what I say cannot make everyone believe it." The old man said as he looked around the crowd and then continued, "So it is better to do this. Since you are all together, you must be aware of each other, and what you say must be more credible than me. I also believe that someone among you must know this treasure. Then why not explain the value of this thing to everyone by the person who knows this treasure to everyone.
"That's a coincidence." Mi Tianying immediately took over the conversation after the old man finished speaking and pushed Tianyou out. "My cousin is from Zixiao Palace and is also a master of weapon refining. Identifying the talent of heaven and earth is a specialty." As he said that, he said to Tianyou: "Tianyou, please tell us quickly. What is the difference between this red coral and ordinary coral?"
"I……"
Tianyou was interrupted just as he was about to speak.
"Tianyou, don't be humble. We all know the skills of Zixiao Palace, let alone you specialize in refining weapons. If you can't even recognize a refining material, you're a bit too humble, right?"
Mi Tianying obviously didn't think about it temporarily. He and the old man had a connection. Looking back on the morning meeting, Tianyou felt that although it was a coincidence, Mi Tianying probably had a plan, but happened to meet him there, so she made some changes. But now this situation is definitely not his temporary reaction. This guy is not that smart and has no ability to change things.
No matter what, now Tianyou can't avoid this form. Helplessly, he had to walk to the booth.
Tianyou didn't know why Mi Tianying asked him to identify this dragon blood coral, but the one in front of him was the dragon blood coral that could not be fake. Maybe other things can be misread, but there will be no problem with spiritual energy. In other words, the reason why the dragon blood coral is precious is precisely because of the existence of spiritual energy. Therefore, the dragon blood coral itself is not important. As long as it can gather spiritual energy like now, no matter what it is, it is a priceless treasure.
With three points of caution and caution, Tianyou slowly approached the dragon blood coral. He did not reach out to touch it, and he didn't know how to distinguish this thing from the touch.
He first kept a distance and circled around the dragon blood coral three times. On the surface, he was observing, but Tianyou was actually thinking about what Mi Tianying was going to do. However, this time was not enough to make him think about the reason. However, although he didn't fully figure it out, Tianyou had a rough idea.
There is a 80% problem with the dragon blood coral. Mi Tianying is most likely to want to let himself tell the value of the dragon blood coral, and then buy it at a high price, or let others buy it, and finally find the problem and ask him to bear the responsibility in the middle. As for why it is not to directly destroy the fake dragon blood coral for him... it is not that he looks down on Mi Tianying, but Tianyou really thinks that Mi Tianying doesn't have the courage. You have to know that the value of such a large piece of dragon blood coral is enough to allow a big man of Zhenyuan Shangxian to do a lot of effort to help with things. With such a large piece of dragon blood coral, Mi Tianying might as well find a big man with enough strength to kill him.
So, Tianyou has basically confirmed one thing now, that is, there must be a problem with this dragon blood coral, but it should be a problem that is not easy to find.
Not only because Mi Tianying must not be kind, but the bigger reason is because Tianyou knows the preciousness of dragon blood coral. Such a large piece of dragon blood coral is really against common sense. It is incredible to say that it is genuine Tianyou thinks it is incredible.
Since I have guessed that there is something wrong with this thing, what Tianyou has to do is simple. Just find the problem. As for what to do if I can't find the problem... it's actually simple. Just say that this is a problematic dragon blood coral. It's amazing that it's just offending the auctioneer and causing some losses to Wanbao Pavilion. Anyway, it's really the dragon blood coral that's really not to be sold. I believe Feng Wu won't mind it. Anyway, Tianyou won't jump into the pit.
After wandering around the dragon blood coral for a few times, Tianyou's mouth gradually smiled, "No wonder there could be such a large piece of dragon blood coral. So that's it!"
With the attitude of finding a problem, Tianyou quickly discovered the clue, but he did not tell the problem directly, but stood up and said to the princes and Gongsuns in the audience who were waiting for his results: "I wonder if you have heard of the dragon blood coral?"
"What? Is this a dragon blood coral?"
Mi Tianying was the first to jump out and shout.
"I'll pay five million... no, I'll pay ten million taels of gold."
"Twenty thousand taels." Someone jumped up and shouted, seemingly more excited than Mi Tianying.
"Quiet." With the overwhelming spiritual power, Tianyou's loud shout surprised everyone. In order to achieve a shocking effect, Tianyou even used a little bit of the demonic power in the demon pill given by Chiwen. Fortunately, the effect was outstanding.
"Pay attention to identity. We are not rude servants who compete for live fish and fresh shrimp in the market. We need to pay attention to etiquette at any time."
Tianyou's words are the so-called great truth, and for these princes and Gongsuns, they are things that must be paid attention to, so naturally no one refutes them.
Tianyou, who has temporarily won the recognition of everyone, then continued: "Since everyone agrees that I will be asked to identify this thing, I will naturally be responsible for everyone. First, I will explain to people who don’t know what the dragon blood coral is, and then I will give you an estimate so that everyone can bid fairly, right? Otherwise, if someone doesn’t know the value of this thing but is bought by others, wouldn’t he say mine?”
Mi Tianying originally wanted to raise the price quickly and then make a fuss of Tianyou, but Tianyou's words reminded some of the people below. Those who don't know what the dragon blood coral are naturally unwilling to suffer losses, so they all spoke up for Tianyou's words, which made Mi Tianying not easy to interrupt and object.
With everyone's support, Tianyou continued to speak. He first explained what the dragon blood coral is, its functions and characteristics, and then he reached the point.
"Because of the characteristics I just introduced, the value of the dragon blood coral is mainly related to its volume and internal structure. If a dragon blood coral weighs 1 qian, then a 1 liang of liang can be sold for 100,000 taels of silver, and a 100 tael of gold can be sold for 100,000 taels of gold. If it is heavier, it can be sold for 100,000 taels of gold. If it is heavier, it can be considered by yourself. The weight in front of you is conservatively estimated to be more than 3,000 jin, and the estimation I give it is..."
Tianyou deliberately added accent here and paused for two seconds to increase everyone's attention.
"50 taels of gold."
The lower part was obviously quiet for a few seconds, and then suddenly there was a stir.
To be continued...
