Chapter 206: A Strange Combination of Circumstances

When Dan Qiusheng advanced to Nascent Soul years ago, he had verbally agreed with Xiang Luming of Luohua Valley that the Five Elements Sect and Luohua Valley would form an offensive and defensive alliance to jointly fight against foreign enemies.

The so-called foreign enemy is naturally the Demonic Shadow Sect!

Now, at the Lingchuan auction, Xiao Mian, Xiang Wuqing and others demonstrated the use of this offensive and defensive alliance almost perfectly, forcing Hu Ying to almost go berserk.

However, under Granny Li's cold gaze, Hu Ying did not dare to make a mistake.

That lacquered gold glue was the right herb to treat her father Huda's injuries, and Hu Ying would never give up.

"One hundred thousand low-grade spiritual stones!"

Gritting her teeth, Hu Ying had no choice but to continue quoting.

At this time, Xiao Mian was also riding a tiger. If he and Hu Ying continued to argue so slowly, the losses he would suffer would be even greater.

You must know that Xiao Mian commissioned Chi Lianxia to auction this lacquered gold glue. According to the rules, a 10% commission must be paid to the auctioneer.

Just like Hu Ying had to take away the lacquered gold glue, Xiao Mian would never allow Hu Ying to take away the lacquered gold glue.

Imagine that Dan Qiusheng managed to injure Huda, causing cracks in the golden elixir of the Demonic Shadow Sect's high-level monk, causing him to be seriously injured.

For the golden elixir monks, if there are cracks in the golden elixir, no matter how hard they practice, it will be difficult for the monk to make any progress unless the golden elixir is closed.

In other words, although Hu Ying obtained the lacquer gold glue, Hu Da would not be able to recover, but if he did not get it, Hu Da would definitely not be able to recover from his injuries.

"Two hundred thousand low-grade spiritual stones!"

Xiao Mian's quotation not only made Hu Ying look angrily, but also made Fu Qingqiong and Xiang Qingqing feel that something was wrong. Both of them were well-rounded people, so they were waiting to see what would happen.

"Xiao Mian! What on earth do you want to do?"

Although Hu Ying did not know Xiao Mian, she obviously knew Xiao Mian's identity and appearance. Gritting her teeth, Hu Ying wanted to tear Xiao Mian into pieces.

But before Xiao Mian could reply, Granny Li on the stage became unhappy.

He snorted coldly, scaring Hu Ying into silence and stopped saying anything.

After pondering for a moment, Hu Ying looked at the lacquered gold glue on Granny Li's hand, gritted her teeth, and said bitterly: "Senior Li, I'm willing to offer you a top-level flying sword in exchange for the price, what do you think?"

With that said, Hu Ying took out a shining silver flying sword from the storage bag and slowly pointed it towards Granny Li.

Granny Li reached out to take it, looked at it for a moment, and nodded slightly.

"A nice flying sword, worth eight thousand yuan!"

Eight thousand pieces of spirit, which is worth five or six times that of the ice crystal bracelet, is enough to show that the flying sword Hu Ying took out is indeed of good quality. Thinking of Hu Da's identity as a swordsman, Xiao Mian became more and more sure that this silver sword The flying sword is indeed valuable.

It’s just that now, even at a loss of money, Hu Ying can’t let Hu Ying take away the lacquered gold glue, otherwise he will be a sinner of the Five Elements Sect!

"Mid-grade spiritual stone - ten thousand yuan!"

The loud voice resounded throughout the audience, and the casual cultivators under the auction platform all turned to look at Xiao Mian; Fu Qingqiong frowned, vaguely guessing something; Xiang Qingqing only thought that Xiao Mian did not want Hu Ying to take the auction. Qi Jinjiao also greatly appreciated Xiao Mian's heroic spirit. Even Xiang Wuji looked at Xiao Mian with admiration; Hu Ying looked at Xiao Mian with a strange expression and could hardly react; even if Granny Li on the stage looked at Xiao Mian rather strangely, and then frowned slightly.

"Young man! Please be careful. If you lie about the price at the auction, I will suspect that you are maliciously sabotaging the auction. Don't blame me for not giving the Five Elements Sect face!" Although Granny Li said this in a polite way, it was actually It was to remind Xiao Mian. Xiao Mian stood up, bowed his hands to Granny Li first, and then said: "Thank you, senior, for reminding me, but this junior is not talking in vain. I just don't know what Brother Hu said?"

"Okay! Xiao Mian! You're cruel! I want to see how you come up with these 10,000 pieces of middle-grade spiritual stones!"

Hu Ying's words were an admission that she had withdrawn from the bidding.

Xiao Mian smiled when he heard this, took out a storage bag and handed it to the maid beside him.

Not long after, the storage bag fell into Granny Li's hands. When she opened it, Granny Li's face straightened, and then she announced the results of the auction in public.

"That's right! The lacquered gold glue belongs to this little friend!"

Granny Li's words made Hu Ying's face change sharply, and everyone was in an uproar. That was ten thousand pieces of middle-grade spiritual stones, not low-grade spiritual stones. Xiao Mian of the Five Elements Sect was really a fat sheep. If you deal with him, you will become rich overnight.

But before everyone could think more about Xiao Mian, the latter got the box of lacquered gold glue that he had consigned. He smiled bitterly in his heart, but kept a calm expression on his face. Instead, he threw the box of lacquered gold glue to Fu Qingqiong. Fu Qingqiong took it and put it in the storage bag.

At this time, the silent movements of the two people made many people present slightly change their expressions, and most of their eyes turned to Xiao Mian. After all, no matter how rich this kid is, he is still a kid from the Five Elements Sect. Today's Five Elements Sect is no better than before. The ancestor of Nascent Soul is in charge.

Hu Ying looked at Xiao Mian with resentment, but Xiao Mian didn't even look at Hu Ying.

In fact, Xiao Mian didn't want to attract so much attention, but the situation was compelling and he had to do it.

At this time, Xiao Mian probably would not have thought that his bravery in grabbing the lacquer-gold glue would fall into the eyes of a strong man at the scene, but it would become the best cover to help him escape!

Perhaps the only person who was relatively calm in the field was Granny Li.

After throwing the shining silver flying sword back to Hu Ying, Granny Li held up the last box.

"The last box, the fourth-grade top-grade dew grass!"

Take a deep breath, Granny Li introduced the last box of spiritual herbs.

"This is the real Jindan spiritual herbs, not only because it is a fourth-level condensed dew grass, but also because its medicinal effect is as high as 1,500 years! The condensed dew pill made from this medicine is more than 30% more effective than the condensed dew pill made from the general thousand-year-old condensed dew grass. It can be said to be the best auxiliary pill for Jindan cultivators to increase their cultivation. If the auction house had not explicitly banned auctioneers from participating in the auction, I would have left it in my storage bag even if I had lost everything!"

"May I ask Granny Li, how much is this box of spiritual herbs worth?"

"The total value of this box of spiritual herbs is one-tenth higher than the previous blood killing grass. I'm afraid that even if you raise funds, you may not be able to afford it. How about this, a whole box of ten condensed dew grass, let's auction them one by one!" Just as Granny Li said this, another voice suddenly rang out at the scene: "Don't bother! This whole box of fourth-level condensed dew grass, I want it all, how many spirit stones do you need, please name a price, Granny!"

"You!"

Being interrupted rashly, Granny Li, as a Jindan strongman, was quite indignant. Moreover, there was a precedent of Hu Ying before, and now someone dared to make such a mistake, Granny Li couldn't help but be angry.

But when Granny Li saw the person who suddenly spoke, she was stunned, and then suppressed her displeasure and spoke well.

"Hmph! So it's Mr. Bai Er from the Wanzongyuan Confucian School. I've heard of you for a long time! I didn't expect that Mr. Bai Er, a master of alchemy with the cultivation of Jindan, would come to my small Lingchuan market. What a rare guest!"

When Granny Li said this, almost everyone's eyes were directed at the man who had just spoken - Mr. Bai Er, a Jindan master from the Wanzongyuan Confucian School!

Only Xiao Mian was shocked when he heard the four words "Mr. Bai Er".

Wanzongyuan Confucian School? Bai Family? Mr. Bai Er? Jindan master? Alchemy master?

These terms connected together made Xiao Mian inexplicably think of Li Mudao.

Slowly turning his head, he saw that Mr. Bai Er was only six feet tall, nearly fifty years old, and quite plump. He didn't look like a Jindan master, but more like a master outside the courtyard in the secular world, but no one dared to look down on him.

"Grandma Li hasn't told me the bottom price for this box of Condensed Dew Grass yet!"

"Hmph! Since Mr. Bai Er wants to ask, I dare not not answer. However, with the alchemy family of Wanzong Yuanbai, this box of top-grade Condensed Dew Grass in your hands must be able to refine top-grade Condensed Dew Pills, so the price will be a bit higher!" After saying this, Grandma Li saw that Mr. Bai Er remained calm, gritted her teeth, and said fiercely: "The bottom price of the fourth-level top-grade Condensed Dew Grass is 10,000 medium-grade spirit stones!"

Ten thousand medium-grade spirit stones, this is the transaction price of the box of lacquer gold glue just now, but Grandma Li used it as the starting price for this box of Condensed Dew Grass.

If it weren't for Grandma Li's words of raising the price just now, everyone would really think that Grandma Li had reported the wrong price.

Obviously, Grandma Li seemed to be quite resistant to Mr. Bai Er of Wanzong Yuanbai's family, and the sky-high price of 10,000 medium-grade spirit stones was also aimed at Mr. Bai Er.

Others may not know the inside story, but Xiao Mian thought about it for a while and vaguely guessed something: I think that after I talked about the Bai family's conspiracy with the scholar, the scholar must have found some clues, and he must give Wan Zongyuan an explanation later. The relationship between Lingchuan Market and Wan Zongyuan's Bai family can be imagined.

Thinking of this, Xiao Mian was shocked again!

Fortunately!

Fortunately, I just bid hard for that box of lacquer gold glue by mistake, otherwise, the situation might be a little bad!

Although Xiao Mian didn't know why Mr. Bai Er came to Lingchuan Market, he didn't rule out that the other party was investigating the incident of the year, either because of the scholar or because of Li Mudao. In short, the Bai family seemed to know Li Mudao very well, so the cold stone box used by Li Mudao to store spiritual herbs might not escape the eyes of the Bai family.

In other words, Mr. Bai Er might have suspected the whereabouts of Li Mudao and the origin of these spiritual herbs.

My accidental bidding for the lacquer and gold glue can at least prove that I am not the owner of these cold stone boxes, right?

After all, according to common sense, there will be no fool in this world to bid for something that I consigned and then let the auctioneer take a 10% commission.

Unfortunately, the last time it was Lu Chengzhi, and this time it was Xiao Mian.
