#2037 - Jun Wuji
#2037 - Jun Wuji
Qu Jianlei just had a grudge against the toddler, and thought that if the goods could not be sold, he would definitely snatch them away as revenge.
But if it is really bought by someone else, there is nothing we can do about it. The seller’s problems cannot be attributed to the buyer.
After all, he is determined to get this stone, and now irrelevant forces have intervened, which is really confusing.
Qu Jianlei sighed helplessly, "It seems that it is difficult to avoid being noticed. Plans really cannot keep up with changes."
But even so, the three of them did not rush to intervene, but chose a place not far away to watch from the sidelines.
I have to say, it feels quite different to go from being an insider to an outsider watching from the sidelines.
When the price of the stone reached five thousand Shangling spirits, both sides hesitated.
At least the first group of people who came were obviously hesitant in bidding. They would hesitate for a while every time they raised the price, and would only increase by ten spirits.
This cannot be said to be stingy. Ten Supreme Spirits are worth at least 100,000 spirit stones.
All we can say is that their willingness to bid is decreasing, or... there are not many spirit stones left in their pockets.
However, the four people who came later also showed suspicion in their eyes, and Kun Xiu Jindan even asked directly.
"We are from Xinhua City Lord's Mansion. I wonder which family you are from?"
Xinhua City is also one of the thirty-six first-tier cities, on par with Xiangyuan City where this exchange meeting was held, and even more powerful.
Although outsiders will generally be discriminated against if they show their names in the local area, it is still different if they come from a city lord's mansion of the same level.
"I don't know if you two have known each other before?"
This is why she suspected that the group of people who came earlier were just agents.
This reaction was not surprising. It was hard not to think too much when two Yuanying forces were arguing like this during the bidding outside the exchange venue.
"How ridiculous," the Jindan on the opposite side couldn't help but said, "I suspected that you two knew each other. Let's make it clear, we were here first!"
They argued fiercely, but Jing Yuexin had already seen through the clues and whispered, "The group that came first... had a weak foundation."
In fact, this is not surprising. How many city lord’s mansions are not confident when facing the top ones?
Despite the noise, the new round of bidding will continue.
The people from Xinhua City Lord's Mansion only raised the price by ten upper spirits this time and looked at the other party with indifference.
The price at this moment has reached five thousand six hundred and fifty upper spirits.
The first group of people hesitated for a long time, and then added the five upper spirits with great care.
Others thought that the price increase was too stingy, but they didn't know that these people's hearts were bleeding - their initial bargaining was only two thousand Shang Ling.
They originally thought it was just a casual gamble, but they never expected that they would be framed like this?
"You still haven't given up?" Jindan Kun Xiu sighed, his face darkening slightly, "Five thousand seven hundred upper spirits... are you still adding to that?"
This time, she directly added forty-five upper spirit stones, which is equivalent to more than four hundred and fifty thousand ordinary spirit stones.
The price increase was not just to make the price round up, but also showed her determination to win.
"This..." The Jindan on the opposite side's face changed when he heard this. He really intended to admit defeat.
Forty-five supreme spirits is not a lot, but if we keep adding them like this, when will it end?
"I admire you. You are indeed from Xinhua City. You are really generous enough!"
He seemed to be admitting defeat, but he was still doing something bad in secret - Xinhua City, those people are from outside the area!
As for whether it can have any effect, it doesn’t matter. Let’s just set a fire first and see.
"Tsk," Jindan Kunxiu snorted disdainfully, thinking that he was indeed doing evil things and still refused to give up!
"You can raise the price, we will keep you company!"
"We can afford it!" The Jindan on the opposite side said solemnly, "But since you are from Xinhua City Lord's Mansion, spiritual stones are not a problem..."
There is corresponding communication between the city lord's mansions of the thirty-six first-tier cities. The relationship between some cities is better, while that between some is worse.
But as long as the situation is not extremely bad, it would be no problem for the staff to temporarily borrow some spirit stones for you.
Things in the world are just like this. If you do things conveniently for others, you will also do things conveniently for yourself. So, won't the people from Xiangyuan City Lord's Mansion go to Xinhua to do business?
What this Jindan meant was, we admit defeat, but it's not because we don't have enough spirit stones, it's mainly because we lost to your ability to borrow and distribute spirit stones.
However, at this moment, the Nascent Soul True Immortal beside Kun Xiu Jindan let out a light exclamation and turned his head to look in a certain direction.
Ever since the two groups started bidding, the Nascent Soul True Immortals on both sides basically said nothing and just watched coldly.
This is not only the behavior of a Yuanying True Immortal, but also an intentional way to control the escalation of the situation.
If the true immortals of both families are gone, once the talks break down, there is no way to stop them. This is the true meaning of kings not meeting each other.
This person suddenly spoke, even if it was just a light hum, it attracted a lot of attention.
Everyone looked in the direction he was looking, but all they saw was a crowd of heads.
The two families had been bidding for quite some time, and since they were two Yuanying forces, it had already attracted quite a few people to watch the fun.
However, the Yuanying on the opposite side snorted coldly, "It's okay to give in, but you can't lose the reputation of setting up the game, add some points."
The cooperation of this family was also very tacit. Jin Dan didn't even ask how much more it cost and just gave a quote directly.
"Add two hundred first, five thousand nine hundred upper spirits... I'll wait for you to make the whole thing!"
One plus is two hundred, which is completely different from the previous ten or five levels of spiritual power. Obviously, there have been changes in the response.
Upon hearing this, Jindan Kun Xiu from Xinhua City's face instantly turned red. He hesitated for a long time before speaking, "I..."
“Forget it,” Xinhua City’s Yuanying also spoke up, “Since there are new friends joining us, let’s not play anymore!”
A new force has joined? The people around him suddenly realized what was going on and looked around.
However, the people in Xinhua City did not even wait for these changes and simply turned around and left.
The Jindan who won the bid did not delay and directly delivered the goods and left.
They didn't even go into the exchange meeting, but instead boarded a flying boat and headed straight for the main urban area of Xiangyuan.
But this is also a deception. You must know that at this moment, there are many flying boats traveling between the main city and the valley where the exchange meeting is located.
The Yuanying Zhenxian looked around and chose a safe time to let the flying boat escape into the corner of the street, and then he would use another flying boat to circle back.
It was not until this time that someone asked, "Ancestor, was there really someone helping us just now?"
"It's not a favor, it's just that I also like this stone," Yuanying replied calmly, "It seems to be a real treasure."
"In that case, why don't we...stay here?"
"Why bother?" Yuanying answered casually, "We don't have many spirit stones left, and we need to keep some for maneuver."
A trade fair of this scale is really rare. They brought a lot of spirit stones, but it also cost a lot.
No one could have imagined that prices could be so expensive, and they had so many things they wanted to buy.
When they bought the stone, they initially bargained for two thousand ling. Although they thought the other party was asking for an exorbitant price, they were really short of money.
In the end they paid the full amount for the stones, but after spending the 7,900 spirit flowers, there were only a few spirit stones left.
Therefore, he intends to continue to fulfill this subsequent transaction.
The Jindan in charge of quoting the price muttered, "I thought that those people who really couldn't stand those Xinhua nouveau riche took action."
"That's possible," someone nearby said with a smile, "maybe you are the one who incited them well."
"Come on," someone else joined in the fun, "If you really have money, you can buy it in advance. That guy opened it for 4,000 upper spirits."
When they were bidding, in order to avoid being cheated, they also sought information from the surrounding areas.
The answer is that the stall owner has been setting up his stall for four consecutive days, selling this stone all the time, and the asking price has always been four thousand Shangling.
It doesn’t make sense that it couldn’t be sold at 4,000 in the first three days, but today, with bidding from both sides, someone bought it at a higher price.
"Stop talking," the Yuanying Zhenxian said calmly, "The other party's background is not bad, it's not something you can discuss casually."
Everyone shut up decisively after hearing this. In Zhongzhou, “no casual discussions” meant more than just not being able to call Yuanying by his name.
The divination culture in Zhongzhou is much more popular than in Dongsheng.
Even if you do not mention the name of Nascent Soul, but just talk about matters related to Nascent Soul, you may be predicted or even sensed.
After the group returned, they secretly contacted the person who had previously conveyed the message using spiritual consciousness.
When this Yuanying found out that the other party was a man and two women, he immediately understood, "Have you asked for the price before?"
They got a lot of information while bidding and knew that this kind of combination had inquired about the price in the morning.
Qu Jianlei answered straightforwardly, "Well, I was planning to wait until they couldn't sell it before I made a move."
He didn't say how he planned to attack, nor did he consider whether the other party could guess it.
What he mainly wanted to conceal was the original intention of his side not to take action. The rest was really not important.
"I'm really sorry," the Nascent Soul replied calmly, "I am Jun Wuji, the casual cultivator from Mangdang Mountain, and I have caused you to incur additional costs."
"That's fine," Qu Jianlei answered frankly, "We don't need that much, but we hate that guy who uses someone else to raise the price."
"Xinhua City is a stooge?" Jun Wuji was stunned for a moment before he realized, "Are you talking about the young foundation-building master?"
At the same time, he was muttering in his heart: This guy is really arrogant for not revealing his name.
However, the other party can send out three Nascent Souls at random, so this arrogance... is understandable.
Although they both had the same arrogance, he could not stand the bidder's face, but could accept the arrogance that was there but not there on this side.
In fact, it is just a matter of whether the anger is smooth or not. Although these people are also arrogant, they are helping him to openly slap those people in the face, aren't they?
Isn't the purpose of life to have a clear mind?
