Chapter 172: To Save Face, Face Off Again!

"Eight hundred and fifty taels!"

"Eight hundred and eighty taels!"

"Nine hundred taels!"

"One thousand taels!"

"One thousand two hundred taels, please give me some face..."

"Give you face, who do you think you are? One thousand three hundred taels!"

…

A fierce bidding process.

In the end, this red flame sword was auctioned for one thousand five hundred taels, and the person who bought it happened to be a master of swordsmanship.

"The sword forged by the master forger is so valuable that it can be auctioned for one thousand five hundred taels of silver!"

Lin Bei's eyes lit up and he was a little moved. He happened to be a good caster himself.

"However, my current casting level cannot be called a casting master."

"What's more, a sword forged with painstaking efforts is not comparable to a sword forged by ordinary people. Not only is it time-consuming and labor-intensive, it may even shorten its lifespan!"

Lin Bei's Eight-sided Han Sword was forged by him by chance when he touched the Heart Forged Sword. After the casting was completed, he felt that his mind and body were extremely haggard. If he did not have the Spiritual Ginseng Technique to replenish his vitality, he would probably lose his life.

Forging swords with painstaking effort is more complicated and does more damage than swords made with effort. It can be done occasionally, but if you do it again and again, you may die in advance.

There is even a method of forging a sword that involves one's own life.

"Even a master-level caster is still unable to compare with an alchemist in terms of making money..."

Lin Bei shook his head.

A Dragon Vein Pill is worth a thousand taels of silver. If the alchemist is high-level, he can produce several pills in one furnace.

It is equivalent to earning thousands of taels of silver from a furnace of elixirs, and the speed of making money is really staggering.

In comparison, the caster is still slightly inferior.

Of course, Lin Bei did not intend to give up casting skills, but planned to take it into consideration after becoming an alchemist.

Earning ability determines priority!

Lin Bei focuses on cultivation, and improving his cultivation requires a large amount of Dragon Vein Pills, so becoming an alchemist is a must!

While Lin Bei was distracted, the second auction item was also taken away.

One auction item after another was brought up and displayed in front of everyone, causing the warriors participating in the auction to compete for bids.

These items were all different, including martial arts weapons, exotic animals and plants, which opened Lin Bei's eyes and really gained him a lot of knowledge.

However, Lin Bei doesn't have much demand at the moment. He currently has the Eight-sided Han Sword.

The Eight-sided Han Sword now faces Dragon Vein Realm warriors. The level of the weapons is not much different. It is difficult to bring about an increase in combat power as before, but it has not yet reached the point of elimination.

As for the skills, he is not lacking yet.

Basic skills are very cheap for him, but he has long been disdainful of them because of his unique skills.

I have already practiced two basic martial arts to the level of excellence in the 6th level and the peak of the 7th level respectively, so I naturally have no intention of changing my mind.

As for superior martial arts, starting with a thousand taels of silver, he still needs to keep the secret book for auctioning alchemy, and does not want to suffer any more setbacks.

Strange animals and plants are worth looking at to increase knowledge.

"I'm afraid the alchemy secret book will be put at the end as the finale..."

Lin Bei watched the auction items being brought up and away one after another, but the alchemy secret book never appeared, and he couldn't help but guess.

"After all, the alchemy secret book is worth 20,000 taels of silver, so it is normal to use it for the finale..."

In this auction, the most expensive item so far is only worth ten thousand taels of silver. It is a strange beast with strength reaching the fourth or fifth level of the Dragon Vein Realm.

Its body is huge, its pupils are deep, its muscles are bulging, and it shines like a piece of iron. It is locked in a cage made of fine iron, and is wrapped with chains one after another.

In the end, the strange beast was photographed away by a hall leader of the Hong Gang.

Lin Bei waited patiently until nearly twenty or thirty items were auctioned one after another, and then he got everything he wanted.

"What is going to be auctioned next is the alchemy secret book that our New Moon Baibao Pavilion purchased from an alchemist. It records the refining process of Dragon Vein Pill. It is extremely precious!"

"The starting price for this alchemy secret book is fifteen thousand taels of silver, and each increase in price must not be less than five hundred taels!"

Jiang Qingyue showed a gentle smile that was incongruous with her immature face, igniting the enthusiasm of everyone present.

The starting price is fifteen thousand taels of silver. Even if you can't afford it, you can still enjoy the fun!

"Fifteen thousand five hundred taels!"

As soon as Jiang Qingyue finished speaking, someone made an offer.

"Sixteen thousand taels of silver!"

"Sixteen thousand five hundred taels of silver!"

"Eighteen thousand taels of silver! Everyone, how about you give me some face? My grandson is very fond of alchemy and I plan to let him try it. If it doesn't work, you can come to my house to buy it at this price..."

An old man with a white beard stood up, glanced around, and cupped his hands. Seven ferocious dragons with energy and blood around him flashed past, intimidating the entire audience.

"It turns out it's Senior Zhong, so I'll give it to Senior Zhong to save face. I'll give up the competition for this secret book of alchemy!"

Some people also stood up, cupped their fists and saluted the white-bearded old man, and chose to give up the bidding.

"It turned out to be Senior Zhong. He is a famous casual cultivator among us. The Bai family, Shangguan family, and the Nine Gangs all tried to woo him, but he rejected him..."

Someone was communicating in a low voice.

"I'm willing to give Senior Zhong some face!"

"A certain family also sells Senior Zhong a favor!"

"I'll give Senior Zhong some face too!"

Many bidders chose to give up, and the scene was harmonious.

"Thank you very much, thank you for your kindness. I will keep it in mind. If you have time, we can discuss martial arts together..."

The white-bearded old man smiled broadly and thanked the crowd one by one.

Lin Bei frowned slightly and was about to bid when a voice sounded before him.

"Twenty thousand taels, please give me some face!"

The voice was rich and gentle, but it made the entire auction suddenly go silent!

"who?!"

The white-bearded old man's smile suddenly faded and he looked at the source of the sound.

The next moment, his face turned ugly, and he showed a reluctant smile: "It turns out to be Mr. Bai. Since Mr. Bai wants this secret book of alchemy, Zhong will sell it to Mr. Bai to save face."

He sat down slowly, clenching and unclenching his hands hidden under the partition of the cubicle.

"The Bai family... the last secret book of alchemy was taken away by him, and their family already has an alchemist. Why are they still fighting with me? Can they be satisfied if the entire Linjiang County's elixir industry only needs the surname Bai?" !”

Senior Zhong's face was as calm as water, but he felt a strong hatred towards the Bai family in his heart!

Because of the Bai family's action, the entire auction became quiet.

No one dared to bid anymore for fear of offending the Bai family.

"Twenty thousand taels a time! Is there anyone willing to pay a higher price?"

With a gentle smile on her face that was incongruous with her immature face, Jiang Qingyue hit the small hammer.

No one responded, and the scene was dull.

"Twenty thousand or two times, someone will give more..."

Before he finished speaking, a voice sounded.

"Twenty-five hundred taels!"

The voice was calm and steady without a trace of tremor, revealing the confident and fearless mentality of its owner.

"Um?"

In the private room where the Bai family was located, Bai Wenxuan opened the bamboo curtain and suddenly looked at the source of the sound, staring at a young man with an extraordinary appearance in black attire.

"What do you mean?"

Bai Wenxuan's voice was cold and his eyes were as sharp as knives.

"Why does this person give me a sense of familiarity? It seems that I have seen him somewhere before, but I can't remember it for a while. Could it be that he is an enemy of my Bai family?"

Bai Wenxuan frowned and fell into deep thought.

The Bai family was able to dominate Linjiang and remain strong because of their vigorous and resolute methods, including robbery, conspiracy, and conspiracy.

Naturally, the process offended many people. For a moment, they couldn't remember where they had seen this face, so they regarded it as a fish that had slipped through the net of their former enemies.
