Chapter 21 Grouping

The first and second places were both sold for 300 middle-grade spirit stones.

Chu Tian believed that the price of the remaining three places would definitely not be lower than this number. In other words, Chu Tian had been able to ensure that he would not lose money.

In another VIP room.

After Su Shilun won the second place, he turned to look at his daughter Su Xishui and said with a smile: "Xishui, I bought this place for you. The treasure of the great thief Yiming is very desirable. You must not let your father down!"

"Father, don't worry, I will definitely seize the opportunity to seize the greatest benefits for our Su family!"

Su Xishui looked confident.

Her cultivation has reached the eighth level of the body refining realm, and with her talent beyond ordinary people, she can fight even against ordinary ninth-level strongmen in the body refining realm!

Su Shilun smiled and nodded. His daughter has never let him down, and this time should be no exception.

Not long after.

The third place began to be auctioned, and the starting price of the auction was also 100 middle-grade spirit stones.

"One hundred and twenty!"

"One hundred and thirty!"

"One hundred and fifty!"

The bid price rose rapidly and soon broke through one hundred and fifty.

At this moment, an astonishing bid came out: "Three hundred middle-grade spirit stones!"

Many people were surprised, and then they all smiled bitterly. Damn it, what's going on? Why are they all crazy and not playing by the rules at all!

This time, the one who bid three hundred middle-grade spirit stones in one breath was none other than Qianyang Hou Chu Changqing.

To be honest, at this moment, he had a hint of regret in his heart.

If he had bid three hundred middle-grade spirit stones in one breath for the first two places, he could have easily won it, but now, it's hard to say.

Sure enough, after only two or three breaths of silence at the scene, a new bid came out.

"Three hundred and ten!"

Hearing this bid, Chu Changqing sighed helplessly. He was still not firm enough and it was a little late to act.

"Three hundred and fifty!"

Chu Changqing added 40 yuan in one breath.

Another voice sounded immediately: "Three hundred and sixty!"

Chu Changqing hummed, gritted his teeth, and quoted the price: "Four hundred!"

This time, he finally completely stunned his competitors and successfully won the third place.

However, compared with Chu Tian and Su Shilun, the price he spent to win the third place was indeed a bit high.

Next, the fourth and fifth places were auctioned one after another.

The fourth place was won by Hu Xiaohou at a price of 450 yuan, and the last place was the most competitive, and was won by a well-known casual cultivator with 500 medium-grade spirit stones.

When the five places were completely auctioned, many people suddenly recalled the situation when the first place was auctioned.

The mysterious person came up and directly raised the price by 200 yuan in one breath, and finally won it easily with 300 yuan. At that time, many people thought that the mysterious person was simply brain-dead and stupid.

Now it seems that he is not stupid at all, but unusually smart!

After the auction of the five places was completed, Luoshui Pavilion immediately sent out five special talismans and collected the corresponding spiritual stones.

Shopkeeper Qin smiled and said, "Congratulations to the five of you, each of you has won an extremely precious treasure hunting place. Tonight at midnight, please bring your talismans and gather at the place indicated by the talismans. Today's auction ends here!"

After that, Shopkeeper Qin turned and walked down the silver platform.

Next, the thousands of people in the venue began to slowly disperse.

When leaving, many people were still beaming with joy, talking with their companions about some scenes that had just happened in the auction.

In the VIP room, Chu Tian was about to get up and leave, and a gray-clothed servant came in from outside and reminded Chu Tian to meet Shopkeeper Qin in the secret room on the second floor of Luoshui Pavilion.

Chu Tian immediately understood.

Among the five people who successfully won the treasure hunting place, he was the only one alone, and his identity was unknown. If he went out rashly now, he would be targeted by someone with ulterior motives.

Moreover, he also had to collect the spiritual stones obtained from the auction of the Explosive Flame Pearl.

Soon, Chu Tian walked into the secret room on the second floor and found that Shopkeeper Qin had been waiting there for a long time.

"Haha, congratulations to Luoshui Pavilion for the success of the auction and making a big profit again!"

After Chu Tian sat down, he chuckled and bowed to Shopkeeper Qin opposite him.

Shopkeeper Qin also smiled proudly. This auction was indeed successful. The final auction prices of many items exceeded the previous expectations.

After a breath, Shopkeeper Qin took out a black bag and placed it in front of Chu Tian: "Mr.'s thirty Explosive Flame Pearls sold for a total of 760 medium-grade spiritual stones. This is the part that Mr. deserves!"

Chu Tian opened the heavy bag, glanced at it, and immediately judged that the number of medium-grade spiritual stones in the bag was about 500.

He nodded with satisfaction and put the black bag away.

This cooperation with Luoshui Pavilion can be called a perfect win-win situation!

Immediately, Chu Tian stared at Shopkeeper Qin and asked tentatively: "Shopkeeper Qin, I would like to ask, how many people will your pavilion send to participate in tonight's operation?"

"Fifteen people, and all of them are at the most advanced level of the Refining Body Realm!"

Shopkeeper Qin smiled coldly, without keeping any secrets.

Chu Tian's mouth twitched when he heard this, and he took a breath of cold air.

In order to explore the treasure of the great thief Yiming, Luoshui Pavilion actually sent fifteen masters at the most advanced level of the Refining Body Realm in one go!

Compared with this, the five people who successfully obtained the quota at the auction were simply insignificant.

The most important thing is that the fifteen people sent by Luoshui Pavilion can work together in unity, while the other five are strangers to each other, each doing their own thing, and even scheming against each other.

Chu Tian sneered, "Haha, your pavilion is really good at calculating. It not only made a lot of money, but also won a good reputation. In the end, it also took all the treasures of the thief Yiming!" After hearing this, although Manager Qin was a little unhappy, he could only laugh dryly.

Not long after, Chu Tian left Luoshui Pavilion and came to the street. He found that no one was watching him. He quickly found a place, changed his clothes, and then quietly returned to Qianyang Marquis Mansion.

After returning to Qianyang Marquis Mansion, Chu Tian did not go to the Garbage Bureau, but returned to his room.

He was the director of the Garbage Bureau. Occasionally not going there once or twice was nothing. Anyway, all the work had been handed over to Bai Lao to handle.

In the room.

Chu Tian sat cross-legged on the bed, holding the light white round jade talisman in his hand, and the spiritual energy in his body slowly poured into it.

Soon, a trace of lightning arc appeared on the surface of the round jade talisman, and then a piece of information suddenly entered Chu Tian's mind.

This message only had a few words, describing a specific geographical location, which was actually in the outer area of ​​the Black Rock Forest.

"It's not much different from what I expected. The treasure of the great thief Yiming is hidden in the Black Rock Forest!"

Chu Tian said secretly.

Then, Chu Tian put away the jade talisman and closed his eyes.

At the same time, in a room in the central area of ​​Qianyang Marquis's Mansion, Chu Changqing was talking happily with another person.

"Haha, Brother Zhu, I haven't seen you for a few years. Your demeanor is really the same. The person next to you should be your son Zhu Hao, right?"

Chu Changqing, dressed in casual clothes, smiled warmly at the person opposite him.

Opposite Chu Changqing, at this time, sat a middle-aged man who looked strong and muscular. It was Zhu Mingtian, the Tiger Roaring Marquis.

Next to him stood a black-clothed boy about sixteen or seventeen years old, whose face was very similar to Zhu Mingtian.

Zhu Mingtian clasped his fists in return and said with a smile: "Haha, it's my son, Hao'er, why don't you come and meet your Uncle Chu!"

"Hello, Uncle Chu!"

Zhu Hao hurriedly bowed to Chu Changqing.

Just then, Chu Xi walked in alone from outside, and was stunned when he saw the scene inside.

"Haha, Xi'er, you're here just in time, come and meet Hu Xiaohou, this time you and Zhu Hao must cooperate well in exploring the treasure!"

Chu Changqing said.

Chu Xi's eyes suddenly lit up.

...

In the Su family mansion a few miles away, the same scene was also being played out.

Su Shilun and the Lingyun Realm cultivator who got the treasure hunting quota had a good chat.

This cultivator brought his favorite disciple, named Gongsun Cheng, who was born with a tall and handsome figure. He had been staring at Su Xishui beside Su Shilun, with a hidden lustful light in his eyes.

Su Xishui not only did not feel the slightest bit of disgust, but from time to time she flirted with him, almost seducing Gongsun Cheng's soul away.

...

Chu Tian, ​​who was still practicing with his eyes closed, had no idea that, except for him being alone, the rest of the people were secretly working together to keep each other warm.

One day passed quickly, and the night gradually fell.

Taking advantage of the deep night, Chu Tian put on a black robe and mask, quietly slipped out of Qianyanghou Mansion, rode a fast horse, and after leaving the city, he squeezed his legs hard on the horse's belly and galloped away in an instant.

At midnight, Chu Tian settled the horse and came to the place marked by the jade talisman.

This is a flat area of ​​not too large, with a small bonfire on the ground. Because of the fear of attracting monsters, the bonfire was not burning vigorously.

The fifteen masters of Luoshui Pavilion have all arrived, all wearing black clothes with the special mark of Luoshui Pavilion on the collar and cuffs.

"Haha, sir, you are here on time!"

After Chu Tian arrived, a familiar voice came out.

It was the shopkeeper Qin of Luoshui Pavilion.

The shopkeeper Qin, who was dressed in a black robe, clasped his fists towards Chu Tian.

Chu Tian also clasped his fists in return, but did not speak.

After everyone waited patiently for a moment, the other four people who participated in the treasure hunt arrived one after another.

"Are you the mysterious person who bid wildly at the auction?" Gongsun Cheng looked at Chu Tian closely, and a cruel smile gradually appeared on his face, "Very good, very good, I have reserved the bottle of water spirit evil spirit on you for my master!"

"Idiot!" Chu Tian cursed inwardly. A guy who suddenly appeared from nowhere and didn't know him at all actually threatened him as soon as they met. It was really inexplicable. "Okay, let's go!" The next moment, Manager Qin waved his hand. Everyone immediately jumped into the darkness.
