After saying hello to Tuoba Yuanxu, Qin Luoyi quickly turned around, and there was nearly an hour before the auction. Tuoba Yuanxu saw the unconcealable love in her eyes, and he didn't care for a moment. Ask her what's the matter, just remind her that he will have someone waiting for her at the gate of the auction building, and she will just follow in when the time comes.
Qin Tian and Qin Mo are still in the alley.
Hearing Qin Luoyi calling Qin Tian big brother, Qin Mo was completely stunned, pointing at them and asked in surprise: "Are you brothers and sisters?"
These two are somewhat like brother and sister.
The surname is Qin... Could it be cousins?
Seeing his shocked look, Qin Luoyi smiled with eyebrows crooked, remembering that he only told his eldest brother that Qin Mo was his sworn brother, but forgot to tell him about his relationship with Qin Tian.
Knowing that they were really brothers and sisters, not cousins or anything like that, Qin Mo took a closer look at them again, but still didn't think they looked alike, so he shook his head secretly, could it be because one looked like his father and the other Look like a girl?
The house in the alley has three entrances and three exits, covering a very large area. There are many precious flowers and trees planted inside, pavilions, small bridges and flowing water, which are extremely elegant.
This house belongs to Qin Mo.
Qin Mo and her eldest brother Qin Tian came to Xiaguang City only a few days ago. The old man of the Qin family sent them here on a white jade platform. The purpose was of course the triennial auction in Xiaguang City.
The old man of the Qin family was not in Xiaguang City. He left quickly after sending them here, and he didn't know where he went.
The two of them have been in seclusion for the past few years, and they only left the seclusion half a month ago. Her eldest brother's cultivation has already broken through the Jade Mansion, and he is now at the first level of the Yu Mansion. After Qin Mo left Penglai Immortal Island more than two years ago He returned to the Qin family soon, and was directly thrown into closed-door training by the old man of the Qin family. He only left the closed door half a month ago.
Before retreating, he was at the third level of the Jade Mansion, about the same as Feng Feili, but Qin Mo was much older than Feng Feili, and now he has reached the eighth level of the Yu Mansion. With such a rapid growth rate, Qin Luoyi Really happy for them.
Qin Mo took her to sit down in a pavilion near the water. Qin Luoyi looked at Qin Tian, and asked about his parents who lived in Shenglong's bed.
Although Qin Tian has been in Xuantian ** for several years, after all, he came later than her. Chu Yifeng told her about his parents, but after all he is not like Qin Tian and Xie Ruyan. under one roof.
The two brothers and sisters and Qin Mo sat in the booth and chatted with a smile for a while. Half an hour passed quickly, and the auction was about to start. The three of them got up and walked towards the auction building together.
Tuoba Yuanxu stood outside the auction building, his slender and handsome figure attracted the attention of many young and beautiful female cultivators, who looked him up quietly. Seeing Qin Luoyi's figure, Tuoba Yuanxu's eyes lit up, and he walked over quickly.
Qin Luoyi didn't expect him to be waiting at the door in person, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.
Tuoba Yuanxu didn't know Qin Tian, but he did know Qin Mo. Qin Mo was the young master of the Qin family, and he was the young master of the Tuoba family. The two families had a good relationship and were about the same age, so in private, the two of them The relationship is also very good.
Knowing that Qin Tian was actually Qin Luoyi's elder brother, or that the old man of the Qin family had accepted her for his deceased son, Tuoba Yuanxu quickly put away the politeness and alienation on his face, and after exchanging pleasantries, he personally took them The three brought them into the auction house.
The door was guarded by well-dressed monks in uniform, and the young master of the Tuoba family led the way personally. The three of them naturally walked in very smoothly.
The ground is made of jasper-polished tiles, which can be seen in a bright mirror. The entire auction house is divided into three floors. There is a high platform in the middle of the bottom floor, and many chairs are neatly placed around it. The second and third floors are divided into many rooms. In the small room, many glazed lamps were placed on the top of the auction house. When the lights were dimmed, they reflected the green tiles on the ground, making the entire auction building glow with brilliance, which was really beautiful.
The auction is about to start, and a lot of monks have gathered in the venue. The chairs on the first floor are free to sit on. The second and third floors are private rooms, which are arranged by the auction house. Those who can enter the private rooms are only Xuantian* *Reputable and powerful families, or powerful casual cultivators, they are the important customers of the auction house, with strong purchasing power, while ordinary monks can only stay on the first floor.
Tuoba Yuanxu prepared a separate room for Qin Luoyi, which was a VIP room with a good view of the entire auction venue. After entering the auction house, he directly brought the three of them up.
After sitting down, Qin Luoyi found that Liu Qingcheng was sitting opposite to him, and he could see her just by looking up, and the man in black that he saw before was sitting beside her.
Qin Luoyi only glanced at them, then looked away, with a faint expression on his face.
Liu Qingcheng looked at her coldly.
He was extremely angry but faintly proud. Her father had already agreed to help her, so what about the cultivators of the Purple Mansion? Could she be better than her father?
On Xuantian **, it was too easy for the Liu family to kill a person.
Liu Hanqing's eyes fell on Qin Luoyi's body from time to time, but his eyes were extremely hidden, Qin Luoyi didn't notice anything strange, even Tuoba Yuanxu, Qin Mo and Qin Tian who were with her Did not notice.
In addition to Liu Qingcheng, Qin Luoyi also saw several familiar figures during the auction. Song Wuhen, Mo Yu, and Mo Han were also sitting in the private room on the third floor. When Qin Luoyi saw them, they also saw Qin Luoyi.
The auction house is very large, and it is not difficult to accommodate thousands of people. Soon the auction began. A beautiful woman in a red dress came out and stood on the high platform in the middle of the auction with a charming and bone-chilling expression. After saying a few words in a numb voice, he took out the first auctioned item of the day.
It was a thousand-year-old spiritual plant—Snake Gallbladder Grass, with a base price of two million taels. Qin Luoyi knew that Snake Gallbladder Grass was easy to get, but it was not easy to get thousand-year-old Snake Gallbladder Grass, which could be used for refining Eleventh-tier pills are good things. Spiritual plants below a thousand years old are worthless. Let alone eleventh-tier pills, it would be nice to be able to refine fourth- and fifth-tier pills.
It has to be said that the woman named Bao Qin is a good at mobilizing the atmosphere, her every frown and smile will make the price soar off the court, and whenever this time, this woman will raise the price Lima sent a charming smile at the place, and immediately, the person who was still hurting to raise the price, Lima was shocked and continued to raise the price.
The atmosphere in the arena, with the charming woman covering her mouth and chuckling, remained calm all the time. Soon the snake gallbladder soared to 5 million taels of silver, and finally sold for 5.5 million taels of silver.
In addition to Lingzhi, there are many magic tools and spars, each of which is not ordinary, and of course each of them is also valuable.
In the first half an hour or so, although the things that were brought out were good, none of them were auctioned for tens of millions of taels. Generally, the monks on the first floor were the ones who took the auction, and the monks on the second and third floors had never participated.
Qin Luoyi just watched, she didn't need those things.
In her storage space, there are still many spiritual plants, all obtained from the ice field, and under the lion and tiger cliff. Unfortunately, the ice field can only be opened once in a hundred years. When it is opened again, it will have to wait for more than 90 years , if she can go in next time, with her cultivation base, three days is enough to cover the entire ice area. When she entered last time, she only walked half of the place, which is really a pity.
Qin Tian and Qin Mo didn't make a move either.
Qin Mo sat lazily on the chair.
Qin Tian stood beside her, talking to her while looking at the auction items below. Although Tuoba Yuanxu looked at the auction house, the corner of his eyes fell on Qin Luoyi from time to time. Gentle and soft.
Not long after, Baoqin took out a crystal-clear fiery red spar the size of an egg and looked around the audience with a smile: "This is the Huo Dazzling Stone, the starting price is three million taels... Huo Dazzling Stone is not rare in Xuantian **, However, such a large Huo Dazzling Stone is hard to find."
Although there is spiritual power in the Huo Dazzling Stone, the spiritual power is not very strong. There is only a strange energy in it that can warm and nourish the body. The Huo Dazzling Stone is not easy to get, and ordinary monks will not use it for sex.
Because of its bright and pure color, delicate and moist texture, many female nuns like to make it into decorations. It is not only beautiful, but also can warm and nourish the body. Often wearing it can also beautify the skin and make the skin delicate and shiny. It is a natural beauty treatment spar.
Qin Luoyi didn't expect such a useless thing to be seen in the auction venue, so he couldn't help squinting slightly, looked at the Huoxuan Stone, and then looked around.
There are quite a few young girls with unusually bright eyes.
"Three million and two hundred thousand taels."
"Three and a half million taels."
"Four million taels."
…
"Seven million taels."
There are female cultivators who bid for the auction by themselves, and there are also male cultivators who bid for the auction, hoping to win the favor of the person who likes this spar. Although it was just a beauty spar, it soared several million taels in a short time.
Liu Qingcheng also made a move.
"Sister Luoyi, do you like it? If you like it, Brother Mo will take a picture of it and give it to you." Qin Mo watched so many monks vying for the Huoxuan Stone, Qin Luoyi's eyes were also fixed on the Huoxuan Stone, and he stood there grinning. Get up and walk to her side.
Qin Tian glanced at him.
Tuoba Yuanxu actually wanted to take pictures a long time ago, but he stopped thinking when he saw that she was not interested. At this time, when Qin Mo asked her, he also turned his head to look at her.
Qin Luoyi felt that it was not worth spending millions of taels of silver to buy this useless Huo Dazzling Stone, although she had plenty of money, she was not short of these millions of taels of silver.
Just as she was about to shake her head, she suddenly felt a strange fluctuation faintly emanating from the Huo Dazzling Stone. The fluctuation was very weak. If she hadn't been an alchemist or a top-ranked alchemist, she might not have been able to detect it at all.
There is something in the fire dazzle stone.
Her heart skipped a beat, and a strange look flashed across her eyes quickly.
She had obtained the Huo Dazzling Stone from Bai Yi before. Ordinary Huo Dazzling Stones do not have such strange energy fluctuations at all. This Huo Dazzling Stone is very special.
"There is a bodhi seed in there, take a picture of it, it will be good for you in the future." Just as she let go of her spiritual sense, she used her spiritual sense to approach the Huo Dazzling Stone to explore carefully, wanting to know what is wrapped in the Huo Dazzling Stone While doing something, a deep voice suddenly came from inside the bracelet.
Startled slightly, then came back to his senses.
Bodhi seeds!
The Huo Dazzling Stone is actually the legendary bodhi seed!
Qin Luoyi was excited.
If it wasn't for her knowing that she is in the auction house now, the Huo Dazzling Stone is still in the hands of the auctioneer, not hers, and there are many female cultivators who love beauty and male cultivators who want to please female cultivators. Excited to jump up.
Using the Bodhi seed massage can increase the monk's soul power, and the speed will be dozens of times faster than using the **** soul power in the massage.
Soul power is extremely difficult to activate, and a strong soul power has great benefits for monks, especially for monks who have been forced out of the Purple Mansion. She even heard Huangfuyan say that the stronger the soul power, the more likely it is to succeed If your soul power is too weak, no matter how strong your cultivation is, or how heaven-defying your body is, you can only stay at the peak of the Purple Mansion forever and cannot finally break through.
For alchemists, strong soul power is even more important. Without extremely strong soul power, it is impossible to control the pill fire, and if one detects changes in the pill furnace, naturally there is no possibility of making alchemy.
In the bracelet is the demon owl.
After getting off the flying boat, he stayed in the bracelet**, but he didn't expect that through the space of the bracelet, he could also send out that there were Bodhi seeds hidden in the Huo Dazzling Stone.
She tried her best to suppress the excitement in her heart, not to show any strangeness on her face and eyes, she turned her eyes away from the Huo Dazzling Stone, and looked at Qin Mo, who looked at her with a smile, he didn't hear Mo Xiao's voice, Mo Xiao's voice can only be heard by herself.
"That Huo Dazzling Stone is really beautiful." Knowing the bodhi seed inside, Qin Luoyi would definitely take a picture of this spar, but the strong people around here, the so-called partition has ears, she was not prepared to reveal the bodhi in the spar. He told them about his son: "I like this spar, but I don't need Brother Mo to spend money on it for me. I will take pictures."
Qin Tian directly quoted the price.
"Nine million taels."
Then smiled at Qin Luoyi: "Brother will buy it for you."
Liu Qingcheng's face turned green.
She was the last bidder just now. She has already given a high price of 8.5 million taels, and the number of people bidding with her has decreased significantly. It is already very easy to buy a fist-sized Huo Dazzle Stone for 8.5 million taels. Expensive, many people gave up, they didn't expect Cheng Yaojin to kill him halfway, and actually added 500,000 taels in one bite.
"9.2 million taels."
She gritted her teeth and offered another price, raised her chin slightly and looked at the opposite side, her eyes were on Qin Luoyi, with jealousy hidden in her eyes.
The three men standing beside Qin Luoyi were all handsome and imposing. She naturally knew Tuoba Yuanxu and Qin Mo, the young masters of the Tuoba family and the Qin family, although they were not as good as Feng Feili's Duanmu. Changqing, but there is still a lot of talent in that ****.
She didn't know Qin Tian, but his handsome face and the faint elegance and nobility emanating from his body made her heart beat faster every time she looked at him.
The way he talked to Qin Luoyi with a smile on his side made her eyes hurt even more. Seeing that, she knew that the man must be shooting Huo Xuanshi for Qin Luoyi.
The more I think about it, the angrier I feel.
"Ten million." Qin Tian glanced at her casually, then spoke again, adding 800,000 taels in one addition.
Qin Luoyi tilted his head to look at him, with a smile in his eyes, it seems that his brother is still very rich, and he reported 10 million without blinking his brows.
All eyes in the auction house fell in their direction. It is too extravagant to buy an egg-sized fire dazzle stone for 10 million yuan.
Just when everyone thought Liu Qingcheng would definitely give up, she spoke again: "10.5 million."
Liu Hanqing glanced at her daughter. His brows were slightly twisted, even he thought it was too expensive. Although a Huo Dazzling Stone was a bit bigger and clearer in color, it was not worth ten million taels at all, seven and a half million taels would be suitable up.
Qin Tian didn't change his face and added another five hundred thousand taels, Liu Qingcheng was so angry that he almost died. She had a total of twenty million taels on her body. If she spent more than ten million taels on the Huoxuan Stone, she would not have much money. On my father... Even if he had money, he would not give it to her. He came to the auction house today because he heard in advance that a precious thing would be auctioned here, and he was bound to get it.
"Twenty million taels." She gritted her teeth and got into a fight with Qin Luoyi. She just didn't want Qin Luoyi to get this Huo Dazzling Stone.
Qin Tian's face changed slightly. Of course, it wasn't because of the high price, but because he could see that Liu Qingcheng was purely here to find fault.
Qin Mo could also see it. He also quickly thought of the reason why Liu Qingcheng would do this, and couldn't help but snorted coldly. Just as he was about to raise the price, Qin Tian narrowed his dark eyes slightly, glanced at Liu Qingcheng, and said again: "Twenty-one million!"
"Is that the Huo Dazzling Stone? Are we mistaken? It's actually a treasure..." A Huo Dazzling Stone was actually sold for a sky-high price of more than 20 million. The monks in the auction whispered, looking Xiang Huo Xuanshi's gaze became extremely hot.
If it wasn't for a rare and hard-to-find treasure, would they persevere in raising the price like this? Not only the monks on the first floor started to move, but the monks on the second and third floors also stared at Huo Xuanshi... Qin Luoyi was extremely depressed.
The bodhi seed cannot be found by others, she must get that bodhi seed, she is now a third-order cultivation base of the Zifu, has the Hunyuan dzi, and if there is no accident, she should not need it For a long time, no matter whether it is her alchemy or adultery in the future, the bodhi seed is very important to her.
Liu Hanqing heard the discussion of the people below, and quickly winked at her daughter, signaling him not to fight any more. He is really an unconscious person, so what if Qin Luoyi patted the Huoxuan stone? When the time comes to kill her, everything on her is not hers?
Liu Qingcheng finally came to his senses, pursed his red lips tightly, and stopped talking, but their bidding still aroused the interest of others, and one or two people raised their bids. Fortunately, they saw that Liu Qingcheng had withdrawn from the bidding , raised the price twice, and also withdrew, thinking to himself, if there is really something good, why would Liu Qingcheng give up?
In the end, Qin Tian successfully bought the Huo Dazzling Stone with 23 million taels. Tuoba Yuanxu and Qin Mo looked at each other. Xuan Shi looked over and over in his hand, looked very happy, all smiled and said nothing.
