Chapter 204

Make an offer?

Act as a sucker?

Luo Chen sneered coldly in his heart.

"No thanks, I won't wade into these muddy waters."

"But, don't you want to stay in Taishan Market?"

Luo Chen hesitated for a moment, but still decided to be straightforward.

"I really don't want to."

"Hmm?"

In the Li family's private box, Li Li Yixian couldn't help but show a look of surprise.

"Why?"

"Could it be that you want to stay here? Stay in a market that has been managed by the Kang family for hundreds of years, a place where power is changing hands and the new master has extremely strong strength and background? I'm afraid that after many years, you will be swallowed up completely by them!"

Li Li Yixian frowned, "But..."

"There are no 'buts'. Perhaps you are considering the family and seeking a safe place to develop without too much fighting. But my heart is set on the Dao, and there is only one second-tier spiritual vein here, and it is still divided between two families."

At best, Luo Chen sent a sentence quietly.

"If you want to fight for it, I don't mind lending you ten thousand spirit stones."

After the words fell, there was silence for a long time.

Only in the palace hall, the sound of bidding that became more and more strenuous echoed.

Huo Hu was in the middle, listening to the bids on both sides with a smile.

Even if there was a long gap in the middle, he didn't say anything about the first or second time.

It's just that looking at the private boxes of the Zhu Luotian Society and the Li family, his expression was a bit unkind.

Not giving face!

With two families less bidding, the atmosphere is still not lively enough!

In the Li family's private box.

Li Li Yixian's cherry lips once wanted to open to participate in the auction.

However, Luo Chen's words always echoed in her mind.

For the sake of the family, Taishan Market seems to be able to develop steadily, but in the long run, it is definitely not a good place.

After all, with the Yuding Sword Pavilion gone, there is no relatively large force to balance it in the middle.

The Huo family is the local hegemon, and sooner or later it will not tolerate other family forces.

The Kang family and the Yu family, two old friends, might still be able to endure it, but the newcomers...

And for her own sake, she also felt that without a second-tier spiritual land, it would really drag down her cultivation.

In the end, she gave up the auction of the Profound Xuan Xuan Huo Jian in frustration.

When she gave up.

The bidding in the venue had been silent for a long time.

The price stopped at the 83,000 low-grade spirit stones offered by Wang Yangchao.

Nangong Jin looked bitter; he could not continue to bid.

This had already exceeded the limit of the Nangong family.

If it goes any further, the whole family will not be able to bear it.

However, failing the auction also meant losing the opportunity to stay in Taishan Market.

Looking back at the few ninth-layer Qi Refining cultivators of the Nangong family who followed, he sighed.

"Perhaps, we have to wander again."

And on Wang Yangchao's side, his face was equally gloomy.

Eighty-three thousand!

Buying a mediocre low-grade magic treasure flying sword, this is too much of a sucker.

I'm afraid that at this time, many Foundation Establishment peers in the venue are looking at him like he's a fool!

"Nangong Jin!"

"You are too despicable!"

"Didn't we agree to just act as onlookers?"

The three Foundation Establishment cultivators of Dahe Market are not in a good mood right now.

And in the auction venue, it was already noisy.

An ordinary low-grade magic treasure was auctioned for a high price of 83,000, which truly shocked these loose cultivators who had never seen the world.

This price should be what those defensive magic treasures or exotic magic treasures should have!

Amidst the noise.

Gradually, some people began to realize.

These are those Foundation Establishment True Persons giving face to the Huo family!

Luo Chen watched this farce end quietly.

It is impossible for Nangong Jin to compete with Wang Yangchao.

When the other party left Dahe Market, he made a fortune in ticket fees from those loose cultivators.

Fifty spirit stones for a ticket!

At that time, there were two or three thousand people on the boat.

This is a huge sum of money!

Moreover, it was all in Wang Yangchao's hands. Nangong Jin was dragged down by his family, how could he fight for it!

"Master!"

Suddenly, a voice came from his ear.

Luo Chen turned his head to look, and Qu Qu Lingjun was just waking up from the shock.

But in his eyes, there was still a look of confusion.

"What's wrong?"

Qu Qu Lingjun asked confusedly: "Why does Leader Wang want to spend so much money to buy this magic treasure? I heard others say that this magic treasure is not very suitable for him!"

Luo Chen smiled slightly, "Because, he wants to stay in Taishan Market!"

"Why does he want to stay in Taishan Market so much?" Qu Qu Lingjun was still puzzled, "I heard Aunt Gu say that he earned more than 100,000 spirit stones. Isn't it good to take this money and find a second-tier spiritual land to practice hard?"

Luo Chen was stunned, and a look of doubt appeared on his face.

More than 100,000 was a bit exaggerated. In order to fill the belly of the Tunjiang Toad, he shared a large amount of spirit stones with the two major families to buy tamed spirit beasts.

But the remaining amount was at least 110,000 or 120,000.

With such a large sum of funds, where wouldn't it be happy and free?

"Hehe..."

A thick, light laugh sounded.

It was Wang Yuan.

However, the light laugh gradually turned into a sneer.

"Some people have changed! It's just that simple."

"Changed?"

Qu Qu Lingjun was still puzzled, his eyes full of thirst for knowledge, looking at Wang Yuan.

But he didn't notice that Luo Chen beside him had changed his face and his expression was shocked.

Yes!

Wang Yangchao has changed!

Wang Yuan glanced at Luo Chen and said casually to Qu Qu Lingjun: "Besides immortal cultivation families and sects, why do loose cultivators form forces?"

Qu Qu Lingjun answered as a matter of course: "Of course it is to use abundant manpower to collect cultivation resources!"

This is the original intention of all Foundation Establishment loose cultivators to spend great energy to form forces.

Wang Yuan nodded and said: "However, when a person is used to being surrounded by stars, used to mastering the power of life and death, and used to ordering hundreds of cultivators. If you let him take abundant resources and hide in a quiet cave or deep mountains and forests to practice, will he still be used to it?"

Qu Qu Lingjun was stunned and answered very naturally: "What's there to be unaccustomed to?"

Yes!

For Qu Qu Lingjun, who has not yet experienced the world and only understands family affection and love, what is there to be unaccustomed to?

If the goal is achieved, shouldn't one pursue longevity?

Luo Chen looked at the teenager whose height had gradually caught up with his own with a wry smile.

Disciple!

You don't know that in this world, there is also something called "power".

It is a terrifying existence that can make men give up countless things.

His eyes wandered to Wang Yuan, and he gave the other party a grateful look.

Wang Yuan nodded indifferently, and his eyes continued to fall on the auction in the venue.

The reason why Luo Chen was "grateful" to Wang Yuan.

It was because the other party was deliberately pointing him out just now!

Wang Yangchao spared no expense to stay in Taishan Market, wasn't it just to have a piece of territory where he could continue to control the Dajiang Gang!

If he changes to another place, can the Dajiang Gang still exist?

How many of these loose cultivators who came out of Dahe Market are willing to leave their homes with him?

Without blood ties, without Luo Chen's prestige, it would be extremely difficult for him to wrap these people into a group and bring them to Taishan Market.

Therefore, if he wants to enjoy the taste of power, he must stay here!

Perhaps, his original intention was just to use the Dajiang Gang to collect resources for himself.

But gradually, he became addicted to it.

He has changed!

In contrast, isn't he the same?

Or rather, isn't he currently in the primary stage of Wang Yangchao!

At this stage, the Zhu Luotian Society is indeed useful to him, and very useful.

But what about later?

When he has earned enough wealth and can go to practice quietly, can he still let go of the habit of enjoying power?

Luo Chen found it difficult to imagine whether he would change in the future.

Wang Yuan, however, had already taken precautions and thought of that moment.

People are different from each other.

Luo Chen was just a corporate slave in his previous life. Except for occasionally experiencing commanding teammates in games, he rarely enjoyed the taste of power.

But now, he really likes the scene where hundreds of people show him respect when he waves his hand.

He enjoys the feeling of the Zhu Luotian Society cultivators shouting in unison: "President, get on the boat!" at that moment.

So!

In the future, it is very likely that he will be addicted to it.

But Wang Yuan is different.

He came from the Jianghu, fought his way up, and once formed a martial arts sect in the Jianghu.

But for the sake of the immortal path, for the sake of strength.

He still unhesitatingly abandoned his peak status in the secular world and chose to come to Dahe Market to start from the lowest-level loose cultivator.

Luo Chen once let him manage the Zhu Luotian Society on his behalf, and he also showed great impatience.

It's not that he couldn't manage it, but he felt it would affect his cultivation.

He is a person who has been there!

"He is a friend, a big brother, and even more so a teacher who always reminds himself on the road of cultivation."

Luo Chen suppressed his complex emotions, gave Wang Yuan a grateful look, and pulled his attention back.

"Next, is the auction stage of the Spirit Medicine Pavilion."

"What they are going to auction is... Foundation Establishment Pill!"

Huo Hu's voice was drawn very long.

However, the moment it fell, thousands of loose cultivators in the venue held their breath.

The scorching gaze seemed to be able to melt him.

Huo Hu pursed his lips, waved his hand, and the red cloth on the table was pulled away, revealing three jade bottles that were extremely eye-catching.

"A total of three, auctioned separately."

"The starting price is 1,000 spirit stones each, and each increase must not be less than 100."

"Everyone, please!"

As soon as the words fell.

The surging bidding sound came like a stormy sea.

1,100!

1,200!

2,000!

3,000!

Without any hesitation, the price soared crazily.

Not only the loose cultivators, but also heavy breathing came from the private boxes of the major Foundation Establishment forces.

In the Dajiang Gang's private box.

Min Longyu's eyes lit up, "Leader!"

Wang Yangchao glanced at him, "Wait and see, I don't suggest making a move for the first one, the price will definitely be hyped very high."

Min Longyu opened his mouth and finally suppressed his urgent mood.

The other party was not wrong.

And in the Zhu Luotian Society's private box.

Luo Chen's heart moved.

The Huo family is indeed extraordinary. For the first time holding an auction, the Spirit Medicine Pavilion gave a lot of face.

Although it is not as good as the Yuding Sword Pavilion in Dahe Market, which took out five Foundation Establishment Pills at will, three is indeed not a small number.

And what made his heart move slightly was that the quantity was so small.

It also means that there is no possibility for the major Foundation Establishment forces to communicate and divide the cake.

Then, it means... first come, first served!

Turning his head, Luo Chen looked at the cultivators of the Zhu Luotian Society.

Ten ninth-layer Qi Refining cultivators!

Among those close to the Great Perfection of Qi Refining, there are President Sima President Sima Hui Niang, Murong Murong Qinglian, Duan Feng, and a loose cultivator Bian Zhen who joined three years ago.

Besides that, Qin Qin Liangchen and President Sima Sima Xian are only a few years of hard work away from the Great Perfection of Qi Refining.

In addition, Gu Gu Caiyi, Zhou Zhou Yuanli, Liu Liu Qiang, and Su Su Xiaolin are also young.

In the future, there is also a possibility of Foundation Establishment.

These people should all want a Foundation Establishment Pill very much!

Even Qin Qin Liangchen and his wife, who already have one in hand, will definitely not think it is too few.

Facing Luo Chen's sweeping gaze, the breathing of the ten people became heavy.

They looked at Luo Chen, their lips opening and closing, but they held back.

Luo Chen smiled.

"You guys don't make a move, you won't be able to grab it."

"I will bid for one Foundation Establishment Pill for you!"

"At that time, whoever reaches the Great Perfection of Qi Refining first can come to me to buy it at the original price."

After speaking, he turned around suddenly.

Facing the hot bidding scene below, he shouted loudly.

"5,000 low-grade spirit stones!"

The scene was quiet for a while.

Afterwards, a Great Perfection of Qi Refining cultivator gritted his teeth and shouted: "5,100!"

Luo Chen glanced at him and said unhurriedly: "5,200."

The man gritted his teeth again: "5,300!"

"5,400."

According to this calm momentum, there is a trend that no matter how much you bid, I will follow.

The man wanted to bid again, but was pulled by his companion.

The companion shook his head at him solemnly, and he was still unwilling.

But in the end, he gave up in frustration.

After all, the person he is facing is a Foundation Establishment True Person!

Things shouldn't happen more than three times. If he continues to fight, he is afraid that he will have the life to buy it, but not the life to use it.

Moreover, there are two more!

The fear of the Foundation Establishment True Person and the fluke for the follow-up made him finally give up.

"The first Foundation Establishment Pill, 5,400 spirit stones for the first time!"

"5,400 spirit stones for the second time!"

Huo Hu frowned, his face full of dissatisfaction.

The price of the publicly auctioned Foundation Establishment Pill should not be so low!

Moreover, the current market for elixirs is rising, and it shouldn't be so low!

Today is the day his Huo family announced the sovereignty of Taishan Market, and it shouldn't be so low!

He dragged the third sound, and it didn't fall for a long time.

Facing him was Luo Chen's high and mighty, calm gaze.

In the end, he said hatefully: "5,400 spirit stones, for the third time."

"Deal!"

Without saying congratulations, he directly asked someone to send the elixir to Luo Chen.

This scene without demeanor was seen by many people.

In the Kang family's private box.

Kang Kang Dongyue shook his head. The Huo family's auction this time was really not well done.

Announcing sovereignty, this is nothing.

It is worth discussing to be eager to push out Huo Hu, this newly promoted genius Foundation Establishment cultivator.

Inviting a senior with high prestige to host this auction can not only obtain high benefits but also not lose reputation.

Why bother!

In the Yu family's private box.

A young woman in palace attire also frowned.

An old man beside her whispered: "Huo Hu, this child, is like his father. He acts domineeringly but has a narrow mind. If Chuchu marries him, I'm afraid her life will not be easy in the future!"

The young woman in palace attire gave a wry smile, "Clan elder, what can I do. If that old guy Huo Quan leaves the customs, he will probably be in the late stage of Foundation Establishment. In this way, he is already stronger than us, and he has two Foundation Establishment cultivators in one sect, and he is supported by the Yan Alliance."

"We are not like the Kang family, who have the Yuding Sword Sect as a backer. If we don't marry, are we waiting to be beaten later?"

The clan elder was silent.

It's just that looking at Huo Hu's eyes, he was ultimately not very satisfied.

In the future, I'm afraid it will be bitter for that child Yu Chuchu.

The first Foundation Establishment Pill was sold at a low price of 5,400.

The loose cultivators who did not participate in the auction were envious.

Especially some of them who could afford this spirit stone were even more regretful.

But, that is a Foundation Establishment True Person!

On the Dajiang Gang side.

Min Longyu watched the Foundation Establishment Pill being sent to the No. 9 private box through the backstage.

He knew that Wang Yangchao could not compete with Luo Chen.

After all, the other party did not trip him up in the Profound Xuan Xuan Huo Jian auction, and his family background was extremely rich.

If it were him in his position, he would do the same.

He licked his dry lips and reminded carefully:

"Leader, the auction for the second Foundation Establishment Pill has begun."

Wang Yangchao nodded.

"Don't worry, let's wait and see, and then make a final decision!"

Min Longyu hesitated for a moment, then nodded heavily.

Right!

Make a final decision!

Didn't Luo Chen just make a final decision to auction a second-tier secret technique before?

There is no reason why he can't do it here.

When he first took refuge with Wang Yangchao, the other party promised him solemnly that he would find him a Foundation Establishment Pill.
