Chapter 1022 See you in the middle of the night
The sacred flowers are fluttering, and the streamer is falling, just like blue stars falling in the sky. They are beautiful and eye-catching, and become the only bright spot in the auction house. Both men and women are infatuated with it.
However, when the exorbitant price of 5,000 jin of top-grade origin stones was announced from the mouth of the gentle and beautiful host, more than half of the ascetics in the field showed complicated expressions in their eyes.
Unreconciled, sad, sluggish, all kinds of complex gaze intertwined, such an expensive price is enough to discourage more than half of the ascetics in the field, even some big forces have to give up.
The price is too high for most people to accept.
"Amazing..." Li Xiao couldn't help sighing when he heard the price announced by the beautiful host, his heart was shocked.
The price of anything that has anything to do with holy characters is absolutely high.
A starting price of 5,000 catties of top-grade Origin Stone is not expensive compared to the value of the holy flower, but everyone knows that this is just the base price, and no one dares to say how much the final price will reach.
"Someone put the holy flower up for auction. Is it worth it to exchange it for the origin stone?" Li Xiao said to himself, if it were him, he would never put it up for auction.
"Hehe, Li Xiao, you belong to the kind of people who are not in charge and don't know how expensive firewood, rice, oil and salt are." Lin Yourong covered her mouth and chuckled, expressing affection with her eyes, "The source stone that a big power needs is more expensive than you imagined. How much, the low-grade origin stones that the official forces in Seoul need to cultivate every day need hundreds of thousands of catties, and the middle-grade source stones are tens of thousands of catties, even if the top-grade source stones are extremely precious, they need hundreds of catties every day."
"That's why, when some big powers are unable to operate, or when they are in desperate need of origin stones, they will put out a lot of good things for auction."
"Or some people got it by accident, and they worried that they might not keep it, so they would put it up for auction."
"No wonder." Li Xiaoming nodded knowingly, because his personal needs are different, so he naturally treats those precious items differently.
After the beauties presided over the bidding, after a short period of silence in the venue, someone began to bid, and in just one minute, the price of 10,000 catties of top-grade Origin Stones had been reached.
Listening to the rising prices, Li Xiao pursed his lips and shook his head helplessly: "It seems that I don't even have the qualifications to participate in this finale, so it's meaningless to stay any longer, Miss Lin, I'll go first Are you going to stay here, or come with me?"
"I still have some things to deal with here, so you go first." Lin Yourong's beautiful eyes flashed with reluctance, "But don't forget, tonight... I will wait for you at the Yaoyue Tower, that cheongsam, for you to wear." look."
"Okay, I'll come to you."
Naturally, Li Xiao would not refuse an invitation from a beautiful woman. After a brief exchange, he stood up from his chair, opened up a space within walking distance, and quietly disappeared into the auction.
When his figure reappeared, he had already come to the auction hall, found a maid, explained his purpose, and after verifying his fingerprints and irises, the maid smiled and said, "Mister, hello, so you are that Jiu Wen Master of Chiyang Pill, wait a moment..."
The maid took Li Xiao to a luxurious box, poured Li Xiao a cup of high-quality green tea, turned around and left, and Yang Zhonghe who got the news came in a hurry.
Behind him, there are two or three servants, they respectively carry a pair of purple spirit stones with aura flowing, and a medicine tripod.
Yang Zhonghe told them to put down their things and let them leave. When only Li Xiao and him were left in the box, he said, "Sir, the auction is about to end. Are you leaving so soon?"
"Well, I have something to do." Under the black robe, Li Xiao said simply and in a low voice.
"I don't know if sir can delay for a while. The second head of our auction wants to see you. He is on his way. He should be able to come over after the auction..." Yang Zhonghe asked cautiously.
"No." Li Xiao refused without hesitation.
It's not that he's arrogant, but with his current strength, it's not appropriate to reveal his identity casually, otherwise it will inevitably bring a lot of trouble, and his plan to obtain one hundred thousand catties of high-grade spirit stones will also be affected.
"Okay." Although Yang Zhonghe's eyes were a little annoyed, he didn't dare to attack the mysterious young man in front of him, "Sir, these are the proceeds from your auction, a tripod and three pills for 530 yuan. Six catties of spirit stones."
After a pause, Yang Zhonghe explained: "These spirit stones are after deducting the handling fee and the price of the cauldron furnace. As for the remaining one catty of high-grade origin stone, it should be that you bought something and then transferred it to someone else."
"Yes, I understand." Li Xiao nodded, and the thing that was transferred was naturally the cheongsam. As soon as he took a picture, he transferred it to Lin Yourong's name.
Putting away these things, Li Xiao rejected Yang Zhonghe's invitation many times, turned around and left the auction house on foot, and walked out of the hall at a leisurely pace.
Standing at the door, watching Li Xiao's disappearing figure on the street, Yang Zhonghe frowned, his eyes revealing a look of thought.
"This guy is a bit proud." At this moment, a slightly younger voice came from behind him.
This is a fat-looking guy with a casual and careless expression. This person is none other than Zhuge Wen.
Seeing Zhuge Wen, Yang Zhonghe's expression froze, he bent slightly, and said respectfully: "Master, when did you arrive?"
"Just now, Uncle Yang, don't be like this. I'm just a substitute sect master. I'll leave when your real sect master leaves the customs." Zhuge Wen's eyes shone with wisdom. His identity? As you know, the King of Han has always been interested in strange people and strange things, especially alchemists."
"No, this person is hiding too deeply..." Yang Zhonghe sighed heavily, "All we can know is his approximate age. He will not be more than thirty years old. He should be a younger generation of ascetics."
"Not more than thirty years old, but with such attainments in alchemy, if the King of Han can receive his subordinates, why not dominate China." Zhuge Wen was slightly startled, sighed a little, and then said after a pause, "Send someone to follow Is he gone?"
"Go, I think, we should be able to find out his identity."
"I hope." Zhuge Wen nodded, and suddenly said, "Have you seen King Li Yan today?"
"Hehe, that's not true. There are a lot of people in the auction, and there are a lot of people who hide their identities." Yang Zhonghe shook his head.
"No..."
Zhuge Wen looked at the direction where Li Xiao disappeared, his eyes flashed with complicated light, and he smiled half-smile: "Do you think it is possible that this young alchemist is the supreme divine body, King Li Yan?"
"What?" Yang Zhonghe's expression froze, his cheeks trembling slightly, "Is he Li Yanwang?"
