Chapter 1620 Mysterious Ore
The reason why Xia Ruofei suddenly became interested in this item that has not yet appeared is very simple - as soon as this item appeared, the spiritual picture scroll in Xia Ruofei's palm trembled, which was a long-lost reaction.
Previously, it only reacted this way when there was a boundary stone nearby.
And the boundary stone is too rare, it can be said that it can be met but not sought, and there must be a good enough chance to get it, and it is impossible to actively seek it out.
Therefore, the spiritual picture scroll has not actively reacted for a long time.
Moreover, the response of the spiritual picture scroll was particularly strong this time. The difference from the previous times is that the induction jade leaf that Xia Ruofei wears with him has not changed, and the temperature is still the same as before - if there is a boundary stone nearby, Induction jade leaves will also generate heat, and the closer the distance, the higher the heat. This reaction is the most intuitive. Xia Ruofei also considered whether there would be a boundary stone with so many practitioners gathered this time, so he always carried the induction jade leaf with him.
However, the jade leaf did not respond, but the spiritual picture scroll itself began to tremble.
Moreover, this tremor occurred after Hao Qingsong signaled the disciples of the Leaf Leaf Sect to present the lot. Presumably, for the safety of the lot, the leaf leaf sect should have stored these lots in containers with shielding and protective functions. It is possible that It is directly stored in the storage ring, and you will not be taken out until the auction, so when this lot appears, the spiritual picture scroll will react immediately.
After a brief period of surprise, Xia Ruofei's face returned to normal immediately, but he immediately released his mental power and swept towards the lot in the tray.
Under the inspection of mental power, an ordinary red silk cloth could not cover it, Xia Ruofei immediately found out that in the tray was a piece of black ore the size of an adult's fist.
Xia Ruofei has been in contact with many boundary stones, and he is also very familiar with the breath of boundary stones. After a spiritual exploration, he can determine that this ore is not a boundary stone, but the spiritual picture scroll will have such a strong reaction to this ore, which makes Xia Ruofei feel Very strange.
But no matter whether this ore is a boundary stone or not, since it can make the spiritual picture scroll tremble autonomously, Xia Ruofei will definitely not let it go. If he misses it, he can't miss this special ore, and he must win it at all costs!
At this time, Hao Qingsong had asked the disciples of the Leaf Sect to lift the red silk cloth, and the auction items on the tray were also presented in front of everyone, just like the result of Xia Ruofei's investigation just now, it was a black ore.
In fact, it is not only Xia Ruofei, when the auction came on the scene, many monks in other boxes also habitually swept their minds. However, including Liu Mansha, Zhou Bingxuan and other well-informed top sect executives,
None of these monks actually recognized this ore.
Everyone is naturally curious.
Of course, something you don't know is not necessarily a good thing, especially if you don't recognize what kind of ore it is, but you can still sense that this ore doesn't emit the slightest aura, and it looks like an ordinary stone. .
Therefore, many people are just curious, want to hear Hao Qingsong's introduction, at least know what it is, and really make up their minds to buy it at all costs, except Xia Ruofei, there is basically no one else.
At this time, Hao Qingsong said with a smile: "The next thing to be auctioned is this unknown ore that the Taoists saw."
When the monks in each box heard it, even the organizer didn't even know what this piece of black ore was, so they took it to the auction and put it up for auction. What is this operation?
Hao Qingsong is not a professional auctioneer, and practitioners have their own independent judgments, so he didn't sell anything, and explained directly: "Of course we won't let a piece of ore of unknown origin go to the auction table casually. In fact, this was commissioned by Daoist Chen Xuan from Tianyimen, and about the situation of this ore, we still ask Daoist Chen Xuan to tell everyone about it in person!"
Hao Qingsong directly said the name of the client, and naturally he obtained the permission of the other party in advance.
In fact, when Hao Qingsong uttered the name, the mentality of the cultivators present suddenly changed, and no one thought that it was child's play for the Leaf Leaf Sect to list this ore as a lot.
The reason is very simple, this Chen Xuan and the Tianyi Sect where he belongs are well-known in the Chinese cultivation world.
Chen Nanfeng, the head of Tianyimen, has reached the late stage of Jindan. It is rumored that Chen Nanfeng is the cultivator who is closest to the Nascent Soul stage in the cultivation world. Apart from some hidden world cultivators, Chen Nanfeng also sits on the top spot in the cultivation world.
Tianyimen is also one of the top sects in China, and its strength is also among the best among the top sects.
In addition to Chen Nanfeng, a late-stage Jindan master, Tianyimen also has two middle-stage Jindan elders and four early-stage Jindan elders. Among the disciples in the qi refining stage, 15 people have reached the 9th level of qi refining. These people But they all have the opportunity to break through to the Golden Core Stage. Just from this set of numbers, you can see how terrifying the strength of Tianyimen is.
And the Chen Xuan mentioned by Hao Qingsong is the only son of Chen Nanfeng, the head of Tianyi Clan. He is also one of the elders of Tianyi Clan. Among the early monks, they were already extremely young.
If Chen Nanfeng basically holds the top spot in the cultivation world, then Chen Xuan has become the leader of the second generation of monks.
Such a monk with a strong cultivation base and a prominent family background naturally has unparalleled influence and right to speak.
Everyone had a preconceived feeling that since Chen Xuan submitted this ore to the auction, he naturally had a strong reason.
After Hao Qingsong finished speaking, a calm voice came from Box 1, which was from Chen Xuan.
He smiled and said: "Fellow Daoists, it's actually very simple. I found this ore in an ancient ruin in the East China Sea two years ago. What is it, I have been researching it whenever I have time for the past two years, but I have never found anything. It does not have any aura fluctuations, nor is it any kind of refining material we know, if not it is indeed From the ancient ruins, I would even think that this is an ordinary stone."
Speaking of this, Chen Xuan paused for a while, and then changed the conversation: "Of course, strictly speaking, there are still some discoveries in the research over the past two years."
Originally, the cultivators were a little disappointed after hearing Chen Xuan's words, and their interest in this ore was greatly reduced, but when they heard Chen Xuan's last words, they couldn't help but cheer up.
Chen Xuan continued: "Maybe this is the only discovery! I have been researching for a long time and have not made any progress. Not long ago, I simply asked the ancient elders of our refining hall to try to refine this ore, but found that our refining furnace It is impossible to melt it at all, and Elder Gu also did some experiments and found that the hardness of this ore is extremely high, and even the best flying sword cannot be cut."
Chen Xuan paused, and then said: "This is all the discoveries, it can be said that it is of no use... Later, I thought that there was an auction today, so I simply sent this ore to the auction. I want to work together to see if any fellow Taoists can recognize it; secondly, I think this ore may not be related to me! Maybe I can find someone for it at the auction! So, I decided to auction it today. As for what price it can be auctioned at, then let it go! Well... the starting price of this ore is zero, and everyone can bid at will! My only request is which Taoist friend can auction it and finally research what Come and share it with me."
After Chen Xuan finished speaking, the monks also suddenly realized.
Obviously, a disciple of a cultivating family like Chen Xuan would not be short of spirit stones. He sent the ores to auction for no purpose at all.
On the one hand, as Chen Xuan said, I hope other monks can share with him if they can research anything to satisfy their curiosity.
On the other hand, it is estimated that it also means to cheer for the auction. After all, Tianyimen is in a leading position in the cultivation world, and this auction has been held for many times in the cultivation world. It has a relatively deep history and is reasonable. Tianyimen should support the auction with practical actions.
However, although everyone understood Chen Xuan's approach, they still lacked interest in this ore.
The reason is also very simple. With the resources and strength of Tianyimen, they have not been able to research this ore for two years. After the other monks took it back, what flowers could they research?
And according to Chen Xuan, this ore has no other characteristics except that it is hard and cannot be melted at high temperature, which is even more useless.
The hardness is so high, and it can't be melted. Even if you want to add a little ore to test it, you can't do it. Should you buy it back and use it as a display? Or... use it to smash people during a fight?
As long as you think about it a little bit, you know that this is really useless.
Except for one person, of course.
After listening to Chen Xuan's introduction, Xia Ruofei was very happy.
He can naturally guess the thoughts of other monks, so in this way, there should not be many people who will jump out and compete with him for this ore. Even if someone is willing to bid, most of them are for the sake of selling one's family and one face, lest things flow out. Taking pictures of Chen Xuan's face is not good-looking.
Then as long as you increase the price a few more times, most people will give up.
Thinking of this, Xia Ruofei couldn't help but want to bid immediately.
However, he still forced himself to calm down. At this time, he must not act in a hurry. These practitioners are all human beings. If he rushes to show a strong willingness to buy, he will immediately be noticed as abnormal. .
These cultivators will soon think, this person is so eager to buy, does it recognize this ore, and this ore is very precious?
At that time, he may pay a higher price, and I am afraid that even Chen Xuan of Tianyimen will also have this idea.
Chen Xuan has studied for two years, and he must really want to know the secret of this ore - if it has a secret.
Therefore, if Xia Ruofei does not act carefully, it is very likely that he will attract such a big enemy as Tianyimen, which will outweigh the gains.
In fact, no matter how careful Xia Ruofei is, as long as he finally takes pictures of this ore, it will definitely attract Chen Xuan's attention. However, this ore can cause a strong tremor in the spiritual picture scroll, and Xia Ruofei feels that it is worth taking some risks.
At this time, Hao Qingsong has announced the start of the auction.
Xia Ruofei took a deep breath, and he decided to hold still and observe the situation on the field.
Although Chen Xuan is famous in Tianyimen, everyone's spiritual stones were not brought by strong winds, so there was indeed a cold scene at the beginning.
These monks came to participate in the auction, and basically they were optimistic about their favorite treasures in advance, so their spiritual stones were naturally prepared to compete for their favorite treasures, unless there was a Qi Gathering Pill and Spirit Gathering Talisman provided by Xia Ruofei. Classes are very practical drugs and treasures, otherwise they will not easily change their plans.
At least just relying on Chen Xuan's name won't cause everyone to spend spirit stones to cheer for no reason.
Of course, except for those who have a request for Tianyimen or who want to befriend Chen Xuan on purpose.
After being in the cold for dozens of seconds, there was a burst of laughter from box No. 15, and one person said loudly, "This is the ore found by Master Chen in the ancient repair ruins! Even if there is no research result for the time being Come on, the value must be extremely high. Since all Daoists are humble, then we, Lingjiu Mountain, will do our part! Wumou bid 1,000 spirit stones!"
Xia Ruofei waited for a long time just now, and just wanted to make an offer, but was suddenly stabbed by the person in Box 15, and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
After listening to the words of the monk in box 15, Xia Ruofei frowned slightly and asked, "Ling Vulture Mountain? Qingfeng, this speaker..."
Luo Qingfeng hurriedly said: "Master, the voice should be Wu Ming, the young head of Lingji Mountain, which is one of the few monks who are interested in storage rings!"
Xia Ruofei sneered and said: "This Wu Ming is too obvious to flatter! If you make a bid, make a bid! He actually reported his family!"
Luo Qingfeng said with a smile: "Spending 1,000 spirit stones to buy such a piece of ore that can't do anything, this Wu Ming is not a big deal, naturally he has to sign up to win the favor of Chen Xuan, otherwise the 1,000 spirit stones will not be wasted. ?"
Li Yifu said on the side: "Master Uncle, this is a good thing! This Wu Ming spent 1,000 spirit stones to buy a piece of ore, and the storage ring will be auctioned immediately. Isn't his capital less than 1,000 spirit stones? Someone? It's better to raise the price with him! Let him spend as much money as possible!"
Xia Ruofei couldn't help but smile bitterly...
