Chapter 289 Auction
Jiang Liqian suddenly stood up from her seat and opened her mouth, but couldn't utter a word of rebuttal.
She wanted to say that this was not the case. She did not give up her sword, but Shi Tian abandoned her.
Everyone abandoned her.
She just, she just...
The sound of the knife trembled, Qing Mu grabbed her hand, and under her stunned eyes, put his knife in her hand.
A heavy and ancient atmosphere, accompanied by residual warmth and the smell of blood, came overwhelmingly.
In an instant, something broke.
"Fellow Daoist Jiang, I need a strong opponent, the stronger the better. My sword has chosen you, so I am looking forward to the day when I can fight you."
Her lips moved, and Jiang Liqian suddenly pulled her hand back and turned her face away.
she knows.
A serious and pure person can see through any confusion.
Qing Mu’s purity is the knife in her hand.
And her purity is her sword.
They should have been a very compatible opponent, but now the other party is still climbing her own "path", so bright and brilliant that people dare not miss the light in her eyes.
But she had already rotted in the mud, struggling to survive with every breath.
Facing her, she suddenly felt extremely embarrassed.
Fortunately, the cheers at the opening of the auction saved her face in time and prevented her from fleeing immediately.
Qing Mu didn't say anything else. He just sat obediently next to Jiang Liqian, holding his knife.
The auction was bustling with activity. Many monks, lacking private rooms, could only stand in the audience. However, most of them couldn't afford to purchase the items; they simply came to see them. If they stumbled upon a bargain, it would be considered a divine intervention from the Three Pure Ones. Those who could truly afford these treasures were confined to the private rooms on the second floor or above, with views of the surrounding areas.
Unlike before, this time Jinqiao Pavilion took out an extraordinary treasure right from the start. It was a mid-grade spiritual sword with purple light all over it and adorned with eighteen Beidu black blue stones. Just by removing the red cloth to prevent prying eyes, the power emanating from the spiritual sword forced the monks in the audience to take several steps back.
Although it is said to be a mid-grade spiritual sword, it has actually already stepped into the threshold of high-grade. As long as the cultivator who gets this sword spends some spirit stones to take good care of it, it won't take long before he can get a good high-grade spiritual sword. However, he only spends the price of a mid-grade spiritual sword, which is not uneconomical.
This can be considered as a benefit that Jinqiao Pavilion provides to the monks who come to support it at the beginning. However, the fact that it can sell a top-grade spiritual sword as a mid-grade spiritual sword shows the considerable strength of Jinqiao Pavilion.
As soon as this magic sword appeared, the atmosphere immediately became heated up. People in each box competed to bid. The monks in the audience who just wanted to see it could not resist such a great temptation and started bidding.
Jiang Liqian originally wanted to buy this magic sword. She saw that her junior brother, like her, basically relied on flying vehicles to travel. Her junior brother's situation was different from hers. Even if he didn't need a sword to protect himself, it would be good to use it as a means of transportation. So she wanted to buy this sword and give it to him.
But when he saw so many monks scrambling for this magic sword, he quietly gave up the idea.
Although she has a lot of spirit stones now, she must ensure that she can buy the pagoda wood to save her junior brother. Other things can be discussed later.
Qing Mu had been sitting quietly by the side, as if she was not interested in these things, until the charming and passionate fox girl on the stage brought up a very rare stone from outer space. Then she sat up straight and solemnly called out her price.
As soon as Jiang Liqian saw her bidding for the alien stone, she knew that she was bidding for it to temper the knife in her hand.
Although this sword is good and has a strong spirituality, if it wants to develop spiritual consciousness and transform into a spirit, it will still require a lot of natural treasures to nourish it.
Qing Mu cherished her knife very much, no wonder she was determined to enter it into this auction. The Sky Stone wasn't particularly precious, but it was hard to find. If you came across it, it was destined to be with you. If you didn't, you would never see it again in your lifetime.
Even for a place as wealthy as Shengxiaolou, one still has to take the trouble to find out information about something that is priceless.
Many people came to the auction for the alien stone, but no one could resist Qing Mu's wealth. After a fierce competition, she finally won the alien stone.
Seeing his calm demeanor, Jiang Liqian wondered if she should learn how to do business. She could earn a lot of money with little risk. She didn't have to venture into every secret realm, and could just spend some spirit stones to hire someone.
"Don't even think about it. Without hundreds of years of family background, you can't do a business as profitable as Shengxiaolou." Qingmu said lightly, directly breaking her fantasy.
Jiang Liqian: "..."
It doesn't have to be so direct.
The higher the price Qingmu offered, the more dividends the person who bid on their behalf would get. Even though it was just a small private room, she and Qingmu were treated as VIPs, and the table was filled with all kinds of spiritual fruits and teas.
Jiang Liqian originally thought that Qingmu, with her status, would not be interested in these things. However, she unexpectedly ate the spiritual fruit one by one, enjoying it so much that she had eaten most of it in a short while. While chewing the spiritual fruit, she even stopped to ask her, "Do you want to eat it?"
He added, "It's delicious."
Jiang Liqian silently pushed all the spiritual fruits in front of her. After thinking for a while, she took out some of the spiritual fruits that were prepared for Xiao Jintao from the Qiankun bag and piled them in front of her.
Sure enough, as soon as she took out the spiritual fruit, Qing Mu's eyes lit up!
She was a little amused.
As expected, she is still a naive little girl, and is at the age when she is greedy.
Thinking about it this way, she discovered that she had never acted recklessly, not even being greedy, drinking, sleeping or being lazy. In her previous life, she was either practicing or teaching her fellow disciples to practice. She was very methodical and well-behaved, like a perfect doll made up of the three words "Big Sister".
What about her own thoughts?
What does she really want to do?
I actually... can't remember anything at all.
Jiang Liqian felt a sudden panic in her heart and quickly stopped herself from thinking any further. She focused on the situation in the auction house and didn't want to be distracted and miss the pagoda wood.
"I'm afraid not many people will want to take this treasure away. To prevent the price from being mismatched, the owner of this treasure has made a special request: those who want to buy this treasure must bid no less than one hundred medium-grade spirit stones each time."
Smilingly speaking of the additional requirements for this treasure, Sister Meihu lightly twisted the red cloth with her fingertips. A small piece of withered and yellow branch was presented on a porcelain white orchid plate. It looked ordinary, just like a branch you might step on on the roadside.
Doubts were immediately voiced from the audience. Some said that each bid was no less than one hundred medium-grade spirit stones, which was too much and they were just after money. Others said that Jinqiao Pavilion was so desperate for money that they actually auctioned off tree branches as if they were treasures, and they were really being taken advantage of.
There were many different opinions, and the atmosphere reached a new level.
Sister Meihu always maintained a proper smile, not at all affected by the noise from the audience. Her beautiful and affectionate eyes gently swept over the crowd, and everyone fell silent, and then her voice flowed down from the audience.
