Chapter 51 The Heart of the Earth Dragon (Chapter 1
Ling Xiao's heart was indeed shocked, so he forgot to hide his emotions. Fortunately, there is no second person in this world except him to understand the true value of the Heart of the Earth Dragon and the Drape grass. Unless there is a second person from the cultivation world, of course, that is impossible.
Ling Xiao chuckled and said, "The Huangpu family is indeed extremely powerful, and there will be news so soon!"
Huangpu Cangsong smiled slightly, then said in embarrassment: "There is indeed a message, it is the kind of medicinal material that you call the Heart of the Earth Dragon, but there is a little... the other party, the other party's offer is a bit high!"
"Oh?" Ling Xiao was stunned and thought to himself, could this old man want to blackmail me? Or would he want to earn my favor? Ling Xiao was just simple, not stupid, and somewhat doubted that Huangpu Cangsong said that the Heart of the Earth Dragon does have the same effect as the purple-blue vermilion fruit, and is even better than the purple-blue vermilion fruit. But one thing is that the purple-blue vermilion fruit can be taken directly, and the heart of the Earth Dragon is only one consequence! That is - death from poisoning!
Even if you only take one bite, this will end up! Therefore, for most people, they treat the Heart of the Earth Dragon as a highly poisonous item. In the past life, Ling Xiao met those powerful beast cultivators and was extremely careful when eating the Heart of the Earth Dragon. Only with another detoxification herb can he eat it. Such a poison...will someone treat him as a strange thing?
"The offer is a bit high?" Ling Xiaowei asked with a frown. He was considering whether the gold coins in his ring were enough to pay the other party's "a bit high" offer.
Cangsong, a man from Huangpu, was also wrong. He thought that Ling Xiao suspected that he was interfering with it, and immediately explained with a wry smile: "The other party is a small adventure group with only seven or eight people. The highest-powered fourth-level sword master accidentally encountered a third-level monster and was almost wiped out. In the end, only two people were left. The monster ran away with wounds. They found that this thing grew in a place where the monster always guarded, so they brought it back as a good thing. A few days ago in another city, they sent it to the local auction house, preparing to auction it as an unknown herb. Because there were too many dead brothers, they offered this herb to 50,000 gold coins!" After Huangpu Cangsong said that, he looked at Ling Xiao with a disgrace. After all, this was a commission from the employer, and it was difficult for them to change it at will.
"Fifty thousand? Why don't you rob it?" Ye Weini's eyes stared at the boss. Ling Xiao used 30,000 to offer a reward, so she thought it was expensive, let alone 50,000: "Are they crazy? Taking risks is going to kill people! How can we impose our losses on the buyer? No, we will never accept such blackmail!"
Ling Xiao was immediately delighted when he heard this. He thought that the other party would have to ask for 100,000 gold coins if he had spoken out loud. In that case, the large amount of gold coins in the ring would be consumed immediately, and there was no dirt grass to get. Ling Xiao was afraid of nothing else, but that the money was not enough.
Just as he was about to speak, Ye Weini beside him frowned and said to Huangpu Cangsong with anger: "As an auction house, don't you evaluate and appraise the things they sent? Do they say as much as they say?"
Huangpu Cangsong smiled slightly, not moved by the girl's sharp words, and chuckled: "Of course, transactions are voluntary, not to mention that the higher the price they offer, the more commissions the auction house will receive. If this little brother had good goods and was happy, even if there were not many people who recognized this thing, I could use the auction to raise its price a lot. I wonder if you believe it, Miss?"
"Uh..." Ye Weini was speechless for a moment, curled her lips and gave the old man a blank look. She also knew that Huangpu Cangsong was talking about the truth. In fact, the auction house was not without the auction house, which was to raise prices and adjust the atmosphere. However, this trick was generally not commonly used. After all, the auction house also cared about its reputation. Especially the auction house of the Huangpu family, this is even more so!
"Okay, 50,000 is 50,000, I want it." Ling Xiao said lightly.
"Ah...you, you fool, can definitely be cheap!" Ye Weini was so angry that she thought she was really worried and made her mood a little bad.
Huangpu Cangsong was also stunned. He thought that he had lived so old and had seen people who didn’t take money as money, but he had never seen such generous people! 50,000 gold coins! It was indeed the price offered by the adventure group, but Huangpu Cangsong’s thoughts were actually different from Ye Weini, that is - they were all crazy!
The two survivors probably never expected that the sky-high price he offered was actually sold because of the death of his sad companion...
"Can you show it to me now?" When Ling Xiao thought of the heart of the earth dragon in front of him, he felt impatient in his heart, but a calm look appeared on his face.
"As you wish!" Huangpu Cangsong asked his subordinates to pick it up, then looked at Ling Xiao and said, "My friend, the price of the goods you commissioned to the auction house is determined like this. Second-order earth-based crystal cores are relatively rare, but earth-based crystal cores are generally used more in urban lighting. Because their energy is stable and they are not prone to accidents, the price is slightly higher. The price we directly purchase is 11,000 gold coins, and the fourth-order electric crystal cores are also rare. If they are successfully embedded in the enchanted sword, they have great lethality. The direct purchase price is 55,000 gold coins. I wonder if you are satisfied with this price?"
Ling Xiao and Ye Weini have also inquired about the price of the crystal core these days. They know that the price given by Huangpu Cangsong is fair. Although it may be a little higher if the auction is held, Ling Xiao also intends to establish a good relationship with the Huangpu family. This is like the cultivation world. Multiple friends are always better than multiple enemies.
Ling Xiao nodded and said, "Yes."
Huangpu Cangsong had more smiles on his face, and obviously he had more favorable feelings for these young people who were not good-looking. He was not as greedy as other adventurers and wanted to pay double the price.
Then he said: "The corpses of two monsters are used for auction. I will not hide it from you. This can better increase the popularity of the auction house. The starting price of the white jade red-eyed python is set at 50,000 gold coins! The starting price of the Snow Mountain Lightning Falcon is set at 30,000 gold coins. I wonder if you two are satisfied?"
Ye Weini felt a burst of blood rushing to her forehead. Heaven, the body of the fifth-level monster is so valuable! You know, the transaction price of the fifth-level crystal core is only about 100,000 gold coins. I didn’t expect that the starting price of the giant python could reach 50,000... Doesn’t this mean that if someone really competed, he could even get the same price as the fifth-level crystal core? Ye Weini was deeply shocked. For the first time, she felt that the adventurer profession is so attractive. No wonder countless people sacrificed their lives and shed their blood. It turned out that they could really get rich overnight!
Ling Xiao didn't think so much. In his opinion, gold coins were enough. As for the difference between one thousand and ten thousand, it was just a number for him.
At this time, the service staff at the auction house walked in with some difficulty holding a large wooden box. The wooden box was one meter long and about half a meter wide and high. The wooden box made a dull sound when it was put down on the table.
The three of them were attracted by the exquisite wooden box. Huangpu Cangsong nodded with satisfaction. After the service staff went out, they smiled and said, "This wooden box is a precious tree species purple-gold nanmu produced in the south of the Blue Moon Empire. The biggest advantage is that it has good sealing properties. Putting things inside can ensure that there will be no changes for a long time!" As he said that, he stood up and opened the wooden box in front of Ling Xiao.
A huge snake-shaped rhizome appeared in front of the three of them.
