Chapter 105 Obtaining the Fake Shennong Ding
Leng Zhuxin bid again, raising the price to 600,000.
After thinking for a moment, he bid again: "Seven hundred thousand."
This kind of thing of raising one's own price has never happened in an auction house. No one understands why Leng Zhuxin did this and thinks that Leng Zhuxin is stupid and has a lot of money.
While everyone was discussing this, Leng Zhuxin bid again without waiting for the old man to react and raise the price.
"800,000, would you like to make an offer, fellow Daoist?"
Leng Zhuxin's tone was full of determination to obtain the Shennong Ding, and every bid he made gave everyone the impression that he was not short of money.
The old man who was thinking of continuing to raise the price had the same feeling. In addition, Leng Zhuxin was sitting in the Tianzi Room on the top floor. As an alchemist, the old man had a lot of cooperation with the auction house and naturally did not want to make the relationship too awkward.
After sighing, he said, "Since you don't want to give it to me, I'll give it to you."
This time the auction hammer fell heavily, finalizing the deal.
The Shennong Ding was also the last item in this auction. After it was bought by Leng Zhuxin, the auction was over.
But only a small number of the monks in the Red Building left, and the rest sat in their seats and looked towards the door of the Tianzi Room.
The old man who had just bid with Leng Zhuxin was also staring at the door of the Tianzi Room, waiting for the cultivator inside to come out.
However, he didn't expect that when Leng Zhuxin and the others came out, they were all wearing black robes and masks that blocked their spiritual senses, so it was even impossible to tell whether they were men or women.
When the old man saw that several people had concealed their figures and faces, his face became even darker, and he stood up and walked out of the box with his granddaughter.
The grandfather and grandson did not hide anything, and as soon as they left the box, Gu Wangchen frowned.
It was not because of anything else, but because the old man looked at them with some unfriendly eyes after he walked out of the box.
Gu Wangchen did not stop, but said to Leng Zhuxin: "The person who just bid with you was Song Guang from Danluan Sect, I'm afraid he will come over to stop us.
No matter what he says, Junior Sister, don't step out. Stand behind me and I'll handle it."
Song Guang is an elder of the Danluan Sect. He is at the Spirit Transformation Stage and a seventh-grade alchemist. He is arrogant and stingy. Once he sets his eyes on something, he will definitely get it by any means necessary.
The female cultivator following Song Guang looked about the same age as Leng Zhuxin. She was wearing a pink dress, several hairpins in her hair, and a longevity lock around her neck. She was obviously very favored.
He followed Song Guang with a pout on his face, looking very unhappy.
Gu Wangchen had seen this female cultivator before. She was Song Guang's granddaughter, Song Mei. Because she lost her parents when she was young and her grandfather was an elder of the Danluan Sect and a seventh-rank alchemist, she almost had her way in the Danluan Sect. She was deeply loved by Song Guang, so she was raised to be a little spoiled.
The female voice that came from beside Song Guang when he was bidding just now was Song Mei's.
After the grandfather and grandson came out of the box, they walked towards Gu Wangchen and the others without any hesitation.
At the same time, he was thinking about how to get the Shennong Ding.
For him, the price of 600,000 high-grade spirit stones for the Pseudo-Divine Dragon Cauldron was really too high. Although he was a seventh-grade alchemist, most of the spirit stones were spent on Song Mei. It still hurt to take out 600,000 high-grade spirit stones at once.
That's why he didn't raise the price again just now.
Song Guang quickened his pace and tried to stop Gu Wangchen and his group. "My fellow Taoists, please stay. I have something I want to discuss with you."
"If it's for the Shennong Ding, then there's no need to ask. We won't give up the Shennong Ding.
The principle of the Red Mansion Auction House has always been that the highest bidder wins. Since you can't come up with 600,000 spirit stones to bid, you probably still can't come up with it now. You can't ask us to sell you the item we bought with great difficulty at a discount, right?
Or what do you want to exchange for it?"
Gu Wangchen stopped and asked with a smile.
Song Guang really didn't intend to buy the Shennong Ding from Gu Wangchen and others for 600,000 yuan. He wanted to use his status as a seventh-grade alchemist and an elder of the Danluan Sect to pressure others. After all, few people would offend an alchemist.
It was just because Gu Wangchen and his companions came from the Tianzi Room, so he didn't dare to be too arrogant, but instead thought of taking out some seventh-grade elixirs in exchange.
But his granddaughter Song Mei was used to being superior. When she saw Gu Wangchen and his companions wearing masks and black robes, she immediately thought that they did not dare to reveal their true faces because they were not strong enough and could not compare with Song Guang who was powerful and had a high status.
She took a step forward and looked at Gu Wangchen and the others, her lipstick-coated lips opening and closing, "My grandfather is a seventh-grade alchemist. I don't know how many people want to get in touch with him. Not everyone can use the Shennong Ding.
Only people like me and my grandfather, whose fire spirit roots are above 90 pure, can manipulate it to make pills. Which sect are you from? Are you an alchemist?"
"Doesn't it say on the Shennong Ding that only alchemists can take pictures? What does it have to do with you whether we are alchemists or not?
Since we took the photo of the Shennong Ding, it is ours.
Even the seventh-grade alchemist, Elder Zhong Qing of the Qingxuan Sect, would not rely on his status as an eighth-grade alchemist to snatch things from others.
What's more, the seventh-grade alchemist is your grandfather, not you.
Elder Song Guang, has your granddaughter always been like this?
Are you using your reputation as a seventh-grade alchemist to intimidate others?"
Gu Wangchen still spoke with a smile, his left hand seemingly casually falling on the ring on his right hand.
Only then did Song Guang notice that Gu Wangchen was wearing a ring on his right thumb. He squinted his eyes and looked at the pattern on the ring, feeling horrified.
He stopped Song Mei who was about to speak and took a small step back.
"Fellow Daoist, are you the owner of the Red Mansion Auction House?"
Song Guang asked with a frown, and at the same time used his spiritual sense to explore Gu Wangchen's cultivation level again.
Gu Wangchen was wearing a magic weapon that could conceal his cultivation level, so Song Guang naturally couldn't see through it. Thinking that the Honglou Auction House had been standing in the world of immortal cultivation for thousands of years, he no longer thought that Gu Wangchen had hidden his cultivation level. Instead, he guessed that Gu Wangchen's cultivation level was higher than his, so he couldn't see through it.
There has never been any rumor in the world of immortal cultivation that the Honglou Auction House has changed its owner. They even dared to take in Changjiu, who was driven out by the Qingxuan Sect, and the Qingxuan Sect has never caused any trouble.
Not only Song Guang, many people in the world of immortal cultivation speculated that the owner behind the Honglou Auction House was a Mahayana cultivator and had a connection with the Qingxuan Sect.
The only way to identify the owner of the Red Mansion Auction House is to look at the ring with the Red Mansion seal.
Even if the person who owns the ring is not the owner behind the Red Mansion Auction House, he or she is related to it.
In addition to the Honglou Auction House, the Treasure Pavilion and Danlingfang are also its properties. It is true that Song Guang is a seventh-grade alchemist, but there are more than seventy seventh-grade alchemists on the Qingxuan Continent, and most of them sell their pills in the Danlingfang.
If Song Guang had a conflict with the people behind the Honglou Auction House, he would definitely not end up well. Even the sect leader would have to force him to apologize.
Song Guang waited for Gu Wangchen's answer nervously.
Gu Wangchen raised his eyelids slightly and turned the ring on his thumb. "What's the big deal about whether it's true or not? Fellow Daoist Song just needs to know that I bought this Shennong Ding as a gift.
I believe Elder Song is a smart man and would not do anything stupid."
As soon as Gu Wangchen finished speaking, the wine that had been waiting for a long time appeared in front of them.
Although Changjiu was smiling at this time, his smile was much more genuine than the one on the auction table.
"I was wondering why I hadn't seen you guys go down yet. Turns out you ran into Elder Song.
Elder Song is a big customer of our Danlingfang and sends us a lot of pills every year."
Changjiu twisted his waist and walked in front of Gu Wangchen, his tone very familiar.
Song Guang understood what was happening and took the opportunity given by Changjiu, "No, no, Brother Changjiu, you are too kind. I just put some pills in Danlingfang for sale. I should thank you for your trouble.
I have things to do in the sect, so I'll take Mei'er back first. If you have an alchemy furnace above the Earth Rank next time, I hope Fellow Daoist Changjiu can let me know."
"That's natural."
……
After Song Guang and Song Mei left, Changjiu handed the storage bag containing the Shennong Ding to Leng Zhuxin.
Smiling, he looked at Leng Zhuxin and said, "This must be Junior Sister Zhuxin, right? Why did you suddenly come to the auction house? Next time, if you like something, just let me know and leave it.
Junior Sister Zhuxin's cultivation isn't very high yet, so if she takes a picture of something and someone spots her, there's no guarantee that something bad won't happen."
Changjiu has been running an auction house for many years and has witnessed many murders and robberies. He also knows that Leng Zhuxin is only at the Foundation Establishment stage, so he is a little worried.
Gu Wangchen said "hmm" softly and explained, "I went to the mortal world and came here on a whim when I came back. Senior Sister needs your help with something."
"what's up?"
"Please help us spread the word that we have been in Yulong City for the past few days."
Somehow, Gu Wangchen always felt that he couldn't let Shangguan Heng know that they had been to the mortal world.
"It's easy, just leave it to me.
But to be safe, you'd better change your clothes and walk around the streets a few times after leaving the auction house. It would be best if people could make some impression of you."
Changjiu agreed without any hesitation, and after thinking for a moment, he said, "Don't wear disciple uniforms. Wear a white shirt and skirt, something that more people wear."
"it is good."
Gu Wangchen nodded, and several people followed Changjiu to change their clothes and walked out of the main entrance of the auction house in a swagger.
They walked around the street several times, and then entered an inn that also belonged to Gu Wangchen.
Changjiu had already called the inn, and the waiter even called out loudly as they entered, "Brother Gu, why are you back so early today? Didn't you come back at night the past few days?"
"The auction is over, and we brothers and sisters are planning to return to the sect. If we come back early, we can check out earlier and go back."
Gu Wangchen replied with a smile, and then went up to the room on the second floor with Leng Zhuxin and others. When they came down again, they all changed into disciple uniforms.
Many people in the lobby of the inn looked at them sideways, and many of them recognized Gu Wangchen.
……
Because I was delayed in Yulong City for a day.
When Leng Zhuxin and the other two returned to Qingxuan Sect, Shangguan Heng had also returned.
Although Shangguan Heng, who did not get the spirit pearl, did not think of Leng Zhuxin, he still investigated Leng Zhuxin's whereabouts.
Only when I learned that Leng Zhuxin went to Yulong City with Gu Wangchen did I completely dispel my suspicions about Leng Zhuxin.
Just because he learned that Leng Zhuxin had killed Leng Yueyao, he always believed that Leng Zhuxin was a whetstone given to Leng Yueyao by God.
But now Leng Zhuxin has become Leng Yueyao's inner demon. Shangguan Heng can no longer let it develop, so he thinks of taking Leng Zhuxin's life to help Leng Yueyao get rid of this inner demon.
Shangguan Heng felt that Leng Zhuxin, who was only in the Foundation Establishment stage, did not need his help, so he gave this task to Yang Jun who was not in the sect.
Ever since Yang Jun left the sect last time, he has been training outside. Although his cultivation has not improved much, his moves have become much more fierce.
After receiving the order from Shangguan Heng, he did not agree immediately, but hesitated for a long time.
"Master, Leng Zhuxin is the Sect Master's personal disciple, and with Gu Wangchen protecting her, I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to hurt her.
If he couldn't kill her with one strike, once the Sect Leader knew about it, not only would his disciple die, but his master would also have a falling out with the Sect Leader.
Why don't we take a long-term view on this matter? Leng Zhuxin is only in the foundation-building stage now. As long as we keep our composure, there will always be a chance in the future.
Junior sister is only in the Qi training stage, and she does not have a single spiritual root, so it is almost impossible for her to establish a foundation in the Heavenly Dao. Before the Nascent Soul stage, the inner demon has little impact on her cultivation, and there is no need to act so hastily against Leng Zhuxin.
I am not afraid of death, I am mainly afraid that Leng Zhuxin will ruin the relationship between you and the Sect Leader."
Although Yang Jun said this, his dissatisfaction with Shangguan Heng deepened again.
Ever since Shangguan Heng accepted Leng Yueyao as his disciple, Yang Jun realized that it was not that Shangguan Heng did not love his disciples, but that he did not know how to love them.
Not only did Shangguan Heng dote on her himself, he also asked his fellow disciples to dote on Leng Yueyao as well.
In the past, they only had to hand over the more precious treasures obtained through training to Shangguan Heng. However, since Shangguan Heng took Leng Yueyao in, 80% of the treasures obtained by their fellow disciples through training were used by Shangguan Heng on Leng Yueyao.
Now, because of Leng Yueyao's inner demon, he took action to kill Leng Zhuxin.
Not to mention that the sect rules do not allow disciples to kill each other, just the fact that Leng Zhuxin is the direct disciple of the sect leader does not mean that he can attack him at will.
He is different from other direct disciples. He has no family support. If he really kills Leng Zhuxin, Gu Yanhuai will definitely take his life!
What's more, his cultivation level was only at the Jindan stage, and he didn't think he could kill Leng Zhuxin with one blow.
Shangguan Heng's move was tantamount to asking him to die for a waste like Leng Yueyao!
For the first time, Yang Jun felt disappointed with his master Shangguan Heng, but even though he was dissatisfied in his heart, he still had to pretend to have a deep affection between master and disciple and consider Shangguan Heng.
Shangguan Heng did not change his mind because of Yang Juan's words. He said coldly: "Gu Wangchen can't protect her all the time. When the Fuyuan Secret Realm opens in a few days, it will be the best time to take action against her.
If you can kill her, your junior sister might be in much better shape.
Yang Jun, don't forget what I told you. Your junior sister is a person of great luck in Xuanling Continent. Only she can break the shackles of ascension. If her cultivation cannot be improved, the cultivators of Xuanling Continent will not be able to ascend even if they practice for tens of thousands of years.
Leng Zhuxin and she are destined to be enemies and must be eliminated!"
