Chapter 567: Pricing

"It's just luck. Commander Fan is not good at swimming." He Lingchuan knew from his expression that he was half-believing and half-doubting. After all, Fan Sheng has been famous for a long time and has a strong fist. The possibility of losing to a 17 or 18-year-old boy is really very small.

Lingxu City is full of boasting. Everyone is a braggart. Those who have two points of skills can often brag ten points. Even in the small fly restaurant next to the vegetable market, the poor people sitting inside and drinking dare to say that they want to do a big business worth tens of thousands of taels of silver. Nian Zanli doesn't believe it, what's so strange?

He Lingchuan didn't explain much, and changed the subject to ask Fu Shanyue: "What did you find?"

Fu Shanyue shook his head.

"Tianyu Tower will start shooting the aged blood-filled vine in a while." He Lingchuan said immediately, "Go and take a look?"

"What's so good about that?" He is not a rabbit, so he has no interest in herbs.

"The scale-falling disease of the water tribe must be treated with the fruit of the aged blood-filled vine." He Lingchuan occasionally helped A Luo collect materials in Panlong City, and he was not unfamiliar with the blood-filled vine. Interestingly, this kind of vine is not uncommon in the Chiba Plateau, but it cannot grow in the Bejia Kingdom, and even artificial transplantation is impossible. "Our acquaintance, is it very necessary?"

"Zhongsun?" Fu Shanyue grinned, "Interesting, go and have a look."

He Lingchuan smiled at Nian Zanli, said goodbye, and left the room with Fu Shanyue.

Until he walked out of the corridor, Fu Shanyue asked him: "Why are you chatting with a surrendered general?"

He didn't think about it when they met, but he reacted later.

He Lingchuan was stunned: "Surrendered general? Where did he surrender from?"

Fu Shanyue remembered that he was a foreigner and didn't understand the twists and turns: "He was originally a general of Yuan Kingdom. He rebelled last year and surrendered to our Beijia. But the battle in Yuan Kingdom last summer was not fought well. Although he reported the merits, he lost many of his men. I heard that he has always wanted to borrow troops from Beijia to go back for revenge."

He Lingchuan laughed: "He lost with his own soldiers, can he win by borrowing troops?"

"Isn't it?" Fu Shanyue was disdainful, "Bejia is the least short of surrendered generals. I admire him for being able to borrow troops."

"Why do you have such a deep obsession and have to fight with your homeland?"

Fu Shanyue smiled and said: "The surrendered general must have military merits before we can look up to him. Didn't I say that Beijia never lacks surrendered generals."

As they spoke, the two had walked through the winding stone path and arrived at Tianyu Tower.

Although this building is the highest, it is located just below a huge stone wall. Water falls from it almost every moment, like rain, dripping on the roof tiles, splashing a variety of fine sounds, pleasant and refreshing.

Tianyu Building is also three-story. Because of the heavy humidity, the building is covered with vines of all sizes. The scene reminds He Lingchuan of the South Gate of Panlong City. However, what is lying on the outer wall of Tianyu Building is certainly not something as unsightly as the man-eating vine. The flowers blooming from those vines are also very beautiful, red, purple, pink and yellow, adding a touch of color to the late autumn.

The sale here is in full swing.

When the servant led the two into the small hall on the second floor, the sale of the blood-filled vine had already begun.

At first glance, this thing looks like a close relative of the man-eating vine, with a hideous appearance and thorns on its body, but in fact it does not feed on humans and animals. The red liquid flowing out of the wounds on the vine is not blood, but vine juice. This kind of vine has a strong vitality but grows very slowly. It blooms and bears fruit only once every thirty years, and it will take another thirty years for the next time.

The blood-filled vine on the exhibition stand has already produced light red berries. When the fruit turns dark purple, it is considered fully mature and can be used as medicine.

He Lingchuan has read the description of the auction item. This thing was originally the most abundant on the Chiba Plateau in the Panlong Wasteland, but more than a hundred years ago, the wasteland turned into a desert, and this plant disappeared along with it, becoming very precious.

This time, the auction item was transported from the eastern continent, and the fruit drop cycle was calculated, which was not easy.

He Lingchuan's understanding of the four words "not easy" is that the price is very high.

It's strange to say that the blood-filled vine grows on land and doesn't need to be watered several times a year, but the fruit can treat the scale-falling disease of aquatic creatures.

For weak aquatic creatures, the scales on the surface of the body will not grow once they fall off. If the skin is exposed to air or water for a long time, it is easy to get sick. Even if the mermaids can go ashore, the scaled skin often cracks and bleeds, and even the water-retaining formation is not effective, which is very painful.

Therefore, the number of people sitting in this hall is the largest, whether they are aquatic creatures or their agents - after all, not all aquatic creatures can walk on land.

Fu Shanyue walked into the hall, his eyes lit up after scanning the whole place, and he pointed to a person in the front row and said, "The real owner is here."

He Lingchuan saw that it was also a blue-skinned mermaid, and his profile was somewhat similar to Zhongsun Mou.

"Is he also from the Zhongsun family?" What good luck.

Fu Shanyue sneered, "He is Zhongsun Mou's eldest brother Zhongsun Ce. In their generation, the Zhongsun family is the only one left."

Zhongsun Ce's third brother died at the hands of Fu Shanyue, and his second brother died at the hands of He Lingchuan. What kind of fate is this?

Now there are seven or eight families on the field holding up placards, bidding for the ownership of the blood-filled vine, which seems to be quite fierce.

Zhongsun Ce is also one of the placard holders.

He was still young and didn't need the blood-infusing vine. He Lingchuan guessed that he was bidding for his great-grandfather Zhong Sunchi. After all, the fishman was old enough to use the elixir to prolong his life. The scales on his body were probably like the teeth of a centenarian. Whether they fell off or not depended on their mood.

This was the Zhongsun family's business, and Zhong Sunce had to do it despite the pain of losing his brother.

After several rounds, there were only three bidders left.

The losers left one after another, and the seat next to Zhong Sunce was empty.

He Lingchuan murmured there, and Fushan became more and more aware. Shi Shiran walked over and sat down.

Zhongsun Ce's face changed color when he saw him: "What are you doing here?"

"I'm tired of walking, come and see the excitement." Fu Shanyue waved, and the boy came over to bring tea, "How are you, Mr. Zhongsun?"

Zhongsun Ce remained silent.

The death of Zhong Sunmou caused an uproar in the family, and then Du Yunshi came to investigate the case of the elixir of life.

Neither of these two things can be hidden from anyone, and now it is being spread among the upper circles of Lingxu City that the Zhongsun family is going to be in bad luck.

Mr. Zhongsun couldn't eat or sleep well for several days. The attack of scaly syndrome became more severe. His whole body was itchy and painful, which lasted almost all the time.

The doctor in the family said that drugs to relieve numbness and itching cannot be taken for a long time, so the Zhongsun family took aim at the blood-filled vine sold in Dunyuan.

His family's current predicament was mostly due to the Prince Chiyan in front of him, but this guy sat next to him and made him feel disgusted. Zhongsun Ce felt that he had greatly improved his self-cultivation in recent years by not jumping up and attacking him.

The more Fushan looked at him, the more he ignored his rudeness.

If he hadn't been promoted to Prince Chiyan now, Zhongsun Ce would have probably scolded him.

He used to be just a disgraced prince in Lingxu City. Everyone knew that the throne of the Scarlet Yan Demon King could not be given to him. The boys from the Zhongsun family were also sarcastic. This time he returned to Lingxu City with the title of prince. Just to experience the refreshing feeling of returning home in fine clothes.

In the past few days, the dignitaries in Lingxu City had to smile when they saw him. Today in Dunyuan, everyone who sees him must come up to him and respectfully call him "Your Highness."

That kind of elation, tut!

It was really frustrating back then, but now I am so happy.

During this period, two more rounds of raising cards passed, and now there were only two competitors left on the field.

Of course, Zhongsun Ce is one of them.

After three more rounds, the other company also gave up. After all, the price of eight thousand taels of silver for ten blood-filled vines was already an outrageous price. Although squamia is painful, its direct fatality rate is not high. Compared with eight million dollars, most water tribes feel that they can endure it a little longer.

At such a high price, the salesman's voice was filled with magnetism: "It's eight thousand taels for ten blood-filled vines in sixty years. Is there anything higher?"

"once."

"Twice...Oh, it showed up, eight thousand five hundred taels!"

Someone actually made a bid again?

Zhongsun Ce turned around and unexpectedly discovered that the person holding the sign was Fu Shanyue!

He said sternly: "Fu Shanyue, what are you doing!"

"I'm shopping." Fu Shanyue rang his ears, "Keep your voice down."

The bidder kept reading the price, and Zhongsun Ce had no choice but to raise his placard. Now the price reached nine thousand taels.

If the auction price exceeds 5,000 taels, it will be added to 5,000 taels to avoid wasting everyone's time.

Fu Shanyue raised his sign without hesitation: "Ten thousand taels."

There was a small commotion at the scene.

Everyone knew that buying these ten blood-irrigating vines at five thousand taels was a premium, but they didn't expect it to double.

"Why are you infusing blood vines?" Zhongsun Ce suppressed his anger, "You don't have scales on your body!"

"I have acquired a few new fish monsters as pets and kept them in the palace's big lake." Fu Shanyue said with a smile, "The biggest one, the old one, has been suffering from severe scale loss recently and keeps rubbing on the lake rocks all day long. Just like a dog scratching the roots of a tree, I have to patch it up."

"You!" Zhongsun Ce was so angry that he punched him on the bridge of the nose.

Fushan grabbed his wrist with a snap and smiled coldly, his four fangs flashing coldly: "Are you fighting with me on the ground?"

His five pointed claws lengthened and dug into Zhongsun Ce's wrist, causing blood to gush out immediately.

Zhongsun Ce made a secret with his left hand and was about to hit him with ice. Fortunately, several guards nearby rushed forward immediately and shouted:

"Fighting is strictly prohibited in Dunyuan, please let go!"

This is the capital of monsters, fights are common, and they are particularly experienced in handling them.

Fu Shanyue shook off Zhongsun Ce's arm, licked the blood on his paws, and sighed: "It stinks, it smells like fish."

Zhongsun Ce pressed his wrist, his cheeks tensed, and he obviously gritted his teeth.

While the guards were treating his wounds, he stared at Fu Shanyue and said coldly, "Do you insist on going against me today?"

"I also need this thing, how can I say that I am against you?" Fushan said, "If you beat me, the blood-filled vine will naturally be yours."

Zhongsun Ce raised his sign again with a livid face.

Only the auction that was interrupted due to unexpected events can continue.

After a few rounds of chasing each other like this, the price has already risen to fifteen thousand taels. Guests from several halls nearby heard the news and rushed over to watch the excitement.

Competing prices are always the best attraction at sales.
