Chapter 740

"Wei Lin?"

Xu Zishuai scratches his eyebrows and reaches out to touch Liang Qu's forehead.

Liang Qu leans back to avoid it: "Cao Shixiong, what are you doing?"

"I thought you were dizzy from a fever and wanted to help my Liang Shidi take a look. What kind of look is that? I also studied medicine at the Changchun Medical Hall. People call me the handsome little miracle doctor of Pingyang Prefecture, the eighteenth-generation successor of the Taiyi Divine Needle. One needle down, and I'll bring the dead back to life."

"How come I've never heard of this?"

"Your heart isn't sincere; Shopkeeper Chen didn't teach you." Xu Zishuai puts his hand down, turns his head to touch a lychee, stuffs it into his mouth, and mumbles, "The Wei Lin faction doesn't get along with General Xu. Why did you think of letting Wei Lin buy it?"

"Only if he buys it will I have a chance. Or, forget Wei Lin, letting Wu Jiang Zongshi from Hezhou take it would also work, but his strength is obviously not as good as Wei Lin's, so the possibility is not high."

Xiang Zhangsong is puzzled: "What chance does Liang Shidi want?"

"The Dragon People have a wisp of Sun Flame Long Qi in their hands, but unfortunately the attributes don't match, so they entrusted me to find an opportunity to exchange it. If there's Ruyi to exchange for Ruyi, if not, then we'll talk about other things."

The field is shocked.

The Dragon People have Long Qi?

At the same time, the crowd circles around a few times, understanding the meaning of the previous words.

Liang Qu spoke to Lu Jia earlier just to understand the information of the bidders from all sides.

Wu Jiang Zongshi's grandson and Wei Lin have one thing in common: they both practice fire-attribute cultivation techniques!

When harvesting the Heavenly Water Morning Dew, the imperial court and the Northern Fish had a battle. Liang Qu saw it clearly. Wei Lin's True Gang is the Red Demon Peng, his whole body is surrounded by flames, and the phenomenon is three suns shining together. In the future, when constructing divine abilities, there's an eighty or ninety percent chance it will be fire-attribute!

Heaven-sent Sun Flame, constructing fire-attribute divine abilities, wonderful.

Having cultivated for so long, Liang Qu's understanding of the old monk's words in the past has become more profound.

Eating Qi.

Eating "suitable" is more important than eating "good."

Most importantly, Wei Lin really might buy Ruyi!

As the eldest grandson of the Duke of Liang, the most powerful official second generation in the auction field, only Xu Yuelong in the entire auction field can be mentioned in the same breath as him. Even someone like Jian Zhongyi, who has three Grandmasters in one clan, is a notch lower. The leaders of the other Three Dharma Departments and the Demon Suppression Department can't compare at all.

Otherwise, they would have been the ones to be the River Patrol Office leaders in the first place.

Background and financial resources are impeccable, and the person is also hot-tempered and driven; he never gives up on things he takes a fancy to.

Only one Jiang Zongshi uncle came today, but in fact, there is definitely more than one Perfected Form exerting force behind the scenes.

Although whether it can be exchanged is an unknown, this line of Wei Lin is currently the one Liang Qu has the most hope of walking through.

"If you really want to exchange, don't the Dragon People have four Grandmasters?"

"Perhaps."

Xu Zishuai clicks his tongue.

As far as he knows, the number of the entire Dragon People tribe is very small, perhaps not as many as a big family that has existed for more than two hundred years. This Jiang Zongshi rate is too terrifying.

Shouting continues outside the private room.

There are really many good things this year, even parts of the remains of great demons, as well as great tripods for refining tools and pills that can be passed down. Grandmasters in the same batch of private rooms have made moves one after another.

Only their private room is quiet. Only Lu Gang and Yu Dun bought two cheap items worth a few thousand taels.

Yang Dongxiong didn't shout once himself.

Liang Qu thinks for a while and roughly understands.

Master doesn't seem to be rich either. When breaking through to Jiang Zongshi, he borrowed a lot of "loans" from the imperial court and General Xu...

Noon.

"Liang Shidi, drink some soup, Flying Dragon Soup. The Tianbo Chamber of Commerce is also rich; a chicken costs several taels."

"A bit worse than the Imperial Capital."

"We didn't buy much, so why would they give you benefits if you don't buy things?"

"Many thanks, Cao Shixiong."

Liang Qu takes the hot soup, shovels rice into his mouth, and eats the free lunch provided by the Tianbo Chamber of Commerce.

After waiting for someone to finish cleaning up, he lets out a full burp.

Suddenly, there is noise outside the private room, and the master of ceremonies' shouting resounds throughout the venue. Liang Qu and the others stop talking and listen carefully. Before long, the long-awaited Heavenly Earth Long Qi finally appears after much calling. The private whispers in the entire auction field grow louder, and everyone is eager to try.

The first to be auctioned is naturally the Cold Marrow Long Qi. Through the master of ceremonies beating the gong, the bidders in the field compete to quote prices.

Without a doubt, starting with a great medicine, it's hot and lively!

After several shouts, the price soared directly from one to three, and even four. After that, they began to compare the quality of the great medicine, hovering between three and four.

This auction is mainly for the Tianbo Chamber of Commerce, so naturally, the higher the value, the better. There is no targeted demand. If it were consigned by someone, the bidder would have surprises.

The field is enthusiastic.

Liang Qu taps the jade bamboo tube.

The Time Insect in the bamboo tube shakes its head.

Okay.

It's not Cold Marrow.

After several rounds of tense and exciting competition, the value on the field was set at four plants, taken by a Jiang Zongshi from out of town.

As for the name of the great medicine reported, Liang Qu doesn't recognize any of them, only feeling that the names are quite powerful.

The second portion, Xuanming.

"Two portions of Immortal Spirit Water, plus 500,000 taels of silver!"

"Xu Yuelong?"

Liang Qu is surprised, recognizing the source of the voice.

Does Magistrate Xu want Xuanming?

To use it directly or for other purposes?

He thinks for a while.

Good thing.

Xu Yuelong took Xuanming, so the possibility of competing for Ruyi Long Qi is not high, and Wei Lin's chance has greatly increased!

Tapping the bamboo tube again.

The Time Insect hesitates for a moment and continues to shake its head.

"..."

Shaking the bamboo tube.

The Time Insect shakes its head violently.

"Why does Liang Shidi always raise strange things?"

"The thing is small, but the use is great."

For a full quarter of an hour, as expected, Xu Yuelong successfully took Xuanming in the end.

But just when Liang Qu thought it was Ruyi's turn to appear.

"Lower-class Long Qi, Yellow Dust!"

This...

The bidders are all surprised. There is actually a fourth wisp of Long Qi today?

"Obtained by a Jiang Zongshi from Nanzhili, sent over the day before yesterday..." the master of ceremonies introduces.

Liang Qu understands.

It's probably because they saw that there were enough Grandmasters gathered in Pingyang Prefecture, and the acquirer wanted to come and sell it for a good price.

A round of fierce bidding is inserted.

Those who are not involved watch the fun, while those who are involved are red-faced.

Three portions of great medicine, taken!

At this very moment, it is finally the turn of the object that everyone is looking forward to!

Ruyi Long Qi!

A beautiful maid walks onto the stage, but no one pays attention. Everyone stares fixedly at the golden thread in the box.

Liang Qu taps the bamboo tube.

The Time Insect nods violently.

It's it!

His heart beats nervously.

It really is!

The master of ceremonies speaks passionately: "Ruyi in size, Ruyi in weight, Ruyi in length. Through testing, although I won't say it's an exaggeration of a hundred or a thousand times, ten times or more than ten times is definitely not a problem. And according to divination, it can indeed slightly increase luck..."

"Do you know the Qi-eating medium?"

"Not yet."

"What is slight?"

"This requires the guest to grasp it themselves. Starting price..."

"Immortal Mushroom Gold, Jade Liquid Flower, plus 1,000,000 taels of silver!"

Ruyi is worthy of being top-class. Putting aside the luck increase, the mechanism is also quite extraordinary. Even if one knows nothing, the starting price is close to the transaction price of Yellow Dust! After two or three consecutive bids, the value soared rapidly to four portions of great medicine.

Liang Qu stares at the private room where Wei Lin is.

Bid.

Why aren't you bidding!

Xu Yuelong has already taken Long Qi. It's likely that he will be a Jiang Zongshi by autumn, punching the Three Dharma Departments, kicking the Demon Suppression Department, and suppressing the River Patrol. Are you not in a hurry at all?

Finally, after the eighth bid, the scene quiets down slightly.

Wei Lin lives up to expectations and transmits his words from afar.

"A wisp of Heaven-sent Long Qi, plus 500,000 taels of silver!"

Heaven-sent Long Qi?

What the hell is that?

Many people are not well-informed and have never heard of it, feeling quite confused. In the end, it was the master of ceremonies who, after being reminded, told the bidders in the field.

"The so-called Heaven-sent means Heaven-sent Golden Star Enlightenment, which can give birth to extraordinary offspring. Martial bones, talent, and intelligence are all top-notch!"

This...

Liang Qu and his Cao Shixiong look at each other.

Top-notch offspring...

It sounds completely useless to him.

"How extraordinary is the so-called extraordinary?"

"Before the Great Qian was the Great Huang. The Great Huang Taizu was Golden Star Enlightenment. According to historical records, he once reached the Melting Pot realm!"

Whoosh!

Melting Pot!

The field explodes.

But after a quarter of an hour of noisy discussion, the auction field returns to calm.

Cultivation has reached the Jiang Zongshi realm; simple talent is no longer enough, and more "luck" is needed.

Taking a wisp of Long Qi, expecting to exchange it for a Melting Pot offspring that might have a subtle hope of appearing after who knows how many years—let alone doing it, even having this thought seems very stupid.

Chicken ribs.

But to say it has no value is definitely wrong.

For a truly big force, it is still quite good. Even for people or forces that don't treat great medicine as medicine, the value of this wisp of Long Qi seems higher.

Input, risk, return—the latter two remain unchanged, but the input can show a distinction due to the difference in volume.

Behind the Tianbo Chamber of Commerce is the royal family...

Liang Qu suddenly realizes.

Actually, they want to sell it to the imperial court!

No one expected Wei Lin to take out such a treasure.

"The Wei family's ability is quite big."

After a while.

Director Lu personally walks onto the stage, replacing the master of ceremonies to shout: "I wonder if any guest will bid higher?"

Someone tries to bid four portions of great medicine.

"I am very sorry, this bid is not higher than Heaven-sent Long Qi."

Shouted several times in succession.

All were rejected by Director Lu one by one.

The value of Heaven-sent Long Qi in his mind is ridiculously high!

A long quarter of an hour of bidding.

The whole audience is silent.

No one can compare.

No one thought that such a strange and rare object could appear at an auction.

Dong~

Director Lu beats the big gong, and the hammer falls!

Liang Qu's eyes flicker.

Sure enough.

Whether a thing is valuable or not depends on whether the person selling it is the right one!
