Chapter 41: The Crazy Long Family Head

After the heads of the seven great clans entered the auction venue, they walked straight to the front VIP seats and sat down, just next to Long Xuan.

Sensing the aura of Spirit Sea Stage strong people emanating from the seven, Long Xuan felt great pressure, as if sitting on pins and needles.

His worry was correct. In such a short time, they actually attracted Spirit Sea Stage strong people. If they dragged on for a few more days, they would attract a group of Gu Kings.

He couldn't guarantee that all the preparations he made could deceive the eyes of Gu Kings.

Seeing this group of big shots enter, those loose cultivators who were shouting the most happily immediately wilted. They were hesitating before, but now they didn't dare to bid at all.

"The Long family head bids 1.1 million Spirit Stones. Is there anyone else who wants to bid?"

Qian Jinjin looked around and shouted: "1.1 million Spirit Stones once! 1.1 million Spirit Stones twice! 1.1 million Spirit Stones three times!"

"Deal! Congratulations to the Long family head!"

Qian Jinjin knocked the small golden hammer on the table, and the dust settled.

At the same time, the maid holding the jade plate walked down, came to the Long family head, and completed the transaction on the spot.

"Hehe! Long family head, this time I want to keep the Spirit Stones to auction the finale auction item, so I won't fight with you, otherwise you wouldn't want to take it down at such a low price. It's just that I don't know if you still have the qualification to compete for the fossil mine vein after wasting 1.1 million Spirit Stones just after arriving."

On the side, the Feng family head, who had always been at odds with the Long family head, said with a fake smile.

"Hehe! This doesn't need to trouble you. My Long family is big and has a big business, and there are plenty of Spirit Stones. Are these 1 million called Spirit Stones? Just drizzle, it doesn't matter if it's sprinkled out."

The Long family head checked the Spirit Gathering Pills and put them into his storage bag, glanced at him sideways, and said with a disdainful tone.

He sneered inwardly. Truly naive. The value of the fossil mine vein is so shocking, how can you auction it?

All merchant associations in the Far West have come. Even if you have Spirit Stones, can you have more Spirit Stones than several merchant associations?

Even if you smash the pots and sell the iron to take down the fossil mine vein, are you so sure that other forces won't be jealous? This is a resource that is enough to trigger a war.

Compared to the other family heads, the Long family head was much calmer and wasn't overwhelmed by the huge temptation.

He was naturally jealous of the fossil mine vein, but he wouldn't act recklessly.

He understood the truth, so how could the other family heads not understand? Thus, they added prices one after another.

The only one who didn't move was the Long family head, sitting there calmly, drinking tea while watching the fun, as if he wasn't interested in the fossil mine vein at all.

Soon the price had climbed to 200 million Spirit Stones. In the case of insufficient preparation by all clans, being able to take out 200 million Spirit Stones was enough to see how extraordinary the foundation of the seven great clans of the Far West was.

If they were given time to sell treasures and ancestral property, 200 million Spirit Stones might just be a fraction.

But even though all parties were not well-prepared, it was obviously impossible to take down the mine vein at the price of 200 million.

At this time, major merchant associations also made moves one after another. The wealth of merchant associations and the ability to mobilize funds were definitely stronger than those of major clans, and soon they pushed the price to 300 million Spirit Stones.

But 300 million Spirit Stones were far from enough. At this time, Qian Jinjin made a gesture in the dark, and the disguised Qian Duoduo finally made a move, shouting the price directly to 400 million Spirit Stones in one voice, startling everyone. They wondered where this fat man popped out from, actually being able to take out so many Spirit Stones at once. His origin must not be simple.

At this time, there was no room for the seven family heads to speak. Except for the Long family head, the other family heads had iron-blue faces, clenched fists, and expressions extremely unwilling.

In the case of insufficient preparation, none of them could take out 400 million Spirit Stones. The price had far exceeded their bottom line, and they didn't even have a chance to hesitate. They were considered to have completely exited the qualification to compete in this auction.

The expressions of all family heads became extremely ugly.

"Damn it! Where did this dead fat man pop out from? How could he have so many Spirit Stones? After going out, I must kill him and rob his treasures once."

The Feng family head slapped the table heavily and said angrily.

The only calm one was the Long family head, who looked at Qian Jinjin on the stage deeply, his gaze meaningful.

He already had a guess in his heart, but there was no evidence.

In terms of wealth, how could major clans compete with merchant associations? He had already made psychological preparations before coming, and the appearance of this scene didn't make him feel surprised.

Even if the Qian Clan Merchant Association didn't make a move, he didn't think the Long family could compete with the other merchant associations.

The Long family head turned his head to look at the several family heads beside him and laughed: "Hehe! You have also seen the current situation. We absolutely cannot compete with those merchant associations. Look, the price has already broken 450 million Spirit Stones and there is no trend of stopping."

"In terms of total wealth, we clans may not lose to those merchant associations, but the particularity of merchant associations allows them to store a large amount of Spirit Stones for trading at ordinary times, and in emergencies, they can quickly mobilize a large amount of Spirit Stones from various shops."

"In the case where everyone is not well-prepared, how could we compete with a merchant association."

"Now our only way is to unite. Each family contributes 100 million, a total of 700 million Spirit Stones to take down this fossil mine vein."

The Long family head narrowed his eyes, showing a light of wisdom, and continued: "How huge is the benefit of the fossil mine vein? Even if divided by seven, it is enough for us to share!"

"If we move toward unity, jointly mining this fossil mine vein, at least we can still share one-seventh. If we don't unite, then we won't even be able to get a single fossil. I think you all know how to calculate this account!"

"Most importantly, once we unite, we can avoid unnecessary wars. Even if outside forces want to have ideas, they have to weigh it."

The Long family head confidently scanned the faces of the family heads, certain that they would definitely agree, and they had to agree.

This was the strategy he had thought of on the way here. He had never thought of swallowing the mine vein with the power of one clan.

Otherwise, even if he could take down this mine vein, the risk would be too great. With Feng Qingyang's poisonous character, how could he let the Long family grow bigger? It would be strange if he didn't cause some trouble.

That was why he dared to spend so many Spirit Stones to auction a large number of Spirit Gathering Pills. It wasn't that he wasn't interested in the fossil mine vein, but completely because once his plan succeeded, he didn't need to spend so many Spirit Stones at all.

As his voice fell, the family heads of various clans really showed thoughtful expressions, eyes signaling each other, all showing moved gazes.

There's more! There is actually more! Is there no end to this? Is this a Spirit Gathering Pill special auction? Countless people shouted in their hearts.

Moreover, one-seventh is not small, completely enough to share. If that fossil mine vein is very large, I'm afraid that the seven clans joining hands to mine will still have a situation of insufficient manpower.

Soon the Shi family head slapped his thigh heavily and said excitedly: "Good idea, just do it. I agree. It doesn't matter if you agree or not. We are not well-prepared, and the major merchant associations are also not well-prepared. I think two or three families joining hands is enough to take down the fossil mine vein, and it won't even need seven families."

As soon as he said this, the other family heads were shocked. How could they dare to hesitate again? It turned out that they had to agree, and there was no other choice at all. Otherwise, if they were really left behind, the gap with the various clans would only get wider and wider in the future. How could they be willing?

So the major family heads didn't dare to dawdle anymore and expressed their agreement one after another, fearing that if they were a step slower, they wouldn't have a share.

Only the Feng family head had a gloomy face, and his mood was not very beautiful.

At this time, he finally knew why Long Wanli consumed so many Spirit Stones on the Spirit Gathering Pills. It turned out he was playing this idea.

If the seven clans joined hands, each clan wouldn't need to hurt their muscles and bones at all, and only needed to contribute a very small part of Spirit Stones. Of course, they could keep Spirit Stones to buy more resources?

Truly a good abacus. If he had known that the clans would definitely move toward unity, he would have saved a fart of Spirit Stones. He was also very jealous of the Spirit Gathering Pills. Which family didn't have a group of geniuses? If he had known this, he would definitely participate in the competition for the Spirit Gathering Pills.

This time, Long Wanli was allowed to pick up a huge bargain for nothing, and he became the biggest gainer of this trip.

"Good calculation! Truly good calculation!" Feng Qingyang secretly annoyed.
