Chapter 44: Spirit Stones in Hand

Since the conversation of the few was conducted via soul transmission, no one else noticed anything.

After every family head secretly stuffed 100 million to the Long family head, he stood up with satisfaction and shouted loudly: "I bid 700 million!"

The whole venue was instantly silent.

At this time, no one continued to bid, and all were stunned on the spot, completely stunned by this number.

Qian Duoduo had an iron-blue face, looking at him with eyes that wanted to eat people. It was this guy again, it was him! Where did he get so many Spirit Stones?

Qian Jinjin's expression also changed slightly, showing a surprised look, but it flashed away quickly.

700 million Spirit Stones had already far exceeded her bottom line. Time was tight, which limited the time for the clans to prepare Spirit Stones, but didn't it also limit her? She also didn't have time to prepare Spirit Stones.

She could only hurriedly mobilize the liquid capital of all shops, but it was far from enough to make up 700 million Spirit Stones.

She looked at the several other family heads and saw that they didn't show too surprised expressions, so she understood in her heart. She had already guessed where those 700 million Spirit Stones came from.

In this way, even if she squeezed out 700 million Spirit Stones, it would be useless. They could completely make up 1 billion Spirit Stones, 1.1 billion Spirit Stones, and continuing to add prices had no meaning.

"What to do? Where did this Long family head get so many Spirit Stones! Could it be that he is bragging?" Qian Duoduo transmitted anxiously.

Qian Jinjin didn't reply immediately, pondering whether to also cooperate with the other merchant associations, but soon she gave up this idea.

The Qian Clan Merchant Association was an outsider after all. Entering here rashly had already offended all merchant associations. Even if the various merchant associations agreed to unite, it would be them uniting, and they would mostly exclude the Qian Clan Merchant Association.

Thinking this way, she sighed slightly and transmitted helplessly: "The general trend is gone. But this itself is a matter of pros and cons. Really taking down this mine vein will also offend local forces and make business difficult."

"Plus, with several merchant associations secretly inciting, it's possible that the Qian Clan Merchant Association will become a target of public criticism and bring disaster."

"Forget it. Since there is no fate with this mine vein, there is no need to force it."

Qian Jinjin was very open-minded and didn't show too much depression for not taking down this mine vein. She looked around and smiled: "The Long family head bids 700 million Spirit Stones. Is there anyone higher?"

"700 million Spirit Stones once!"

"700 million Spirit Stones twice!"

"700 million Spirit Stones three times!"

"Deal! Congratulations to the Long family head!"

Qian Jinjin slammed the small hammer heavily on the table.

"Damn it!" The people in charge of those merchant associations changed their expressions drastically, stood up anxiously, and cursed loudly.

Several of their merchant associations were discussing whether to unite to take down this mine vein, but they didn't expect Qian Jinjin's speaking speed to be so fast. Before they could talk for a few sentences, the small hammer had already fallen, which caught them off guard, and one by one they were depressed to the point of vomiting blood.

Intentional, she was absolutely intentional. Despicable! The faces of all merchant association heads were iron-blue.

"Hahaha... Let me, let me!"

The Long family head proudly arched his hands toward the surroundings, then strode toward the auction stage, preparing to receive the award.

Since the map was not in the hands of the auction house, Long Xuan also stood up and walked toward the auction stage.

Just when everyone was wondering what he was going up for, Long Xuan placed a rolled-up map on the table, and everyone suddenly realized that he was the seller who auctioned the fossil mine vein.

This rolled-up map was not the original riddle map, but a real terrain map he drew himself, and he wasn't afraid of the Little Medicine Boy recognizing it.

The Long family head curiously sized up this person opposite. He found that he was wrapped tightly, let alone appearance, even age and gender were unknown, and even how to address him was a difficulty. If he called him wrong, he would instead make enemies with this person, so he didn't speak immediately.

At this time, Qian Jinjin placed a golden-colored toad on the table and said solemnly: "Under the witness of the Honesty Gu, is it true that this map marks an ownerless mine vein?"

Long Xuan curiously sized up this Honesty Gu that looked so cute, resisting the urge to touch it.

This was the Honesty Gu? Rumor has it that the Honesty Gu feeds on honesty power and hates creatures that don't keep honesty the most. Whoever dares to be dishonest in front of it, it will angrily eat this dishonest person in one bite.

Even its master is not excluded, and it won't suffer backlash from the blood contract power when it bites its master. Simply fierce.

Long Xuan at this time even had the idea of whether he should also refine an Honesty Gu, so as not to be pitted when trading with others, but thinking that this was the treasure of the Qian Clan Merchant Association and belonged to a unique Gu Formula, and similar Gu insects could sense each other, he gave up this idea.

"Of course it's true. If there is any falsehood, heaven will destroy and earth will kill!" Long Xuan immediately swore.

The Honesty Gu looked at him and nodded with satisfaction. It didn't rage, which meant the person speaking didn't lie.

Thus, the Long family head's smile became even more intense. Although Long Xuan could change his voice and make people unable to distinguish his age, at least he could distinguish his gender, so the Long family head intended to address him as "Sir" and said with a friendly expression: "Sir, these are 700 million Spirit Stones. Please count them!"

Long Xuan reached out and took the storage bag.

Qian Jinjin stared at his hand and found that his hand was also wearing black gloves, which made her secretly annoyed. This person was truly airtight.

After Long Xuan took the storage bag, he casually scanned the storage bag with soul power, and was almost blinded by the 700 million Spirit Stones, which were truly too dazzling.

However, until this moment, he finally discovered a terrible fact: he was just a small loose cultivator and didn't have the path to get a large-space storage bag at all.

He couldn't put these 700 million Spirit Stones into his storage bag, but he couldn't say it clearly. He came with such a big background but had to use the smallest storage bag. Wouldn't that expose his identity?

But he soon thought of a way to break the situation and said without changing his expression: "No need to count. I completely trust the Long family head's character."

He trusted a fart. He didn't know this Long family head at all, so how could he talk about trust? He completely trusted the Honesty Gu. He believed that in front of the Honesty Gu, the Long family head wouldn't play any tricks, which was why he would say so.

Long Xuan changed the subject and said: "However, there are too many Spirit Pills in my large storage bag, and I don't know if it can hold so many Spirit Stones."

"How about this, give me this large storage bag too, and I will gift you a bottle of Spirit Gathering Pills. I don't know if it's appropriate."

After Long Xuan finished bragging, he placed a bottle of Spirit Gathering Pills on the table and said.

"Appropriate, of course appropriate!"

The Long family head's smile became even more intense. He hurriedly took the pill bottle, opened the cap, and sniffed the pill fragrance inside.

A storage bag was something everyone had and had long since rotted on the street. Even the one with the largest space had limited value. Trading it for a bottle of Spirit Gathering Pills was definitely a profit.

At the same time, Qian Jinjin also handed Long Xuan a storage bag and said: "This is the 6,700,000 Spirit Stones sold from the Spirit Gathering Pills you just sold."

"After deducting the 5% commission, 6,365,000 Spirit Stones remain."

"As for the 700 million Spirit Stones from selling the mine vein, our Qian Clan Auction House didn't auction it at too high a price this time, so we won't charge a commission. It's all for making a friend."

"As for this storage bag, it's also a gift!"

Hearing this, Long Xuan's smile became even more intense. After taking the storage bag, he said: "Up to the road. Rest assured, if I discover a mine vein in the future, I will definitely auction it at the Qian Clan Merchant Association again."

Qian Jinjin showed a smile, but at this time, she was frantically complaining in her heart: "Still discover a mine vein? Do you think a mine vein is Chinese cabbage? You say discover and you discover it. Being able to discover one is already the ancestral grave emitting green smoke. Whose ancestral grave can emit green smoke twice?"
