Doupo: Who is Yandi? He should call me brother.

Chapter 37: The ruthless and taciturn old man

The crisp chime of the bell slowly resounded throughout the auction house, and as the bell rang, the extremely noisy noise in the venue gradually weakened. Countless eyes were cast on the crystal stage, their eyes full of fire. .

"Haha, everyone, I believe you are getting a little impatient waiting. In that case, I will not bother you by saying any official words." The white-haired old man in gorgeous clothes looked at the crowd of people in the venue with a smile. Finally, he swept his obscure eyes over the forces sitting in the front row, and his loud voice echoed in the venue.

As an experienced auctioneer, the old man knew clearly what the people below wanted to see and what they didn't want to see, so he simply threw away the nonsense introduction at the opening ceremony. But it is true that the old man's move did win applause from the whole audience.

"As an annual auction, I believe that this one hosted by our Eight Gates will not disappoint you." The old man clapped his hands and said loudly: "I declare that the Black Seal City Auction will begin now!"

As the old man's voice fell, the huge crystal stage suddenly burst into a dazzling light. After a long while, the light gradually disappeared, and on the crystal stage, at the auction table in front of the white-haired old man, a blood-red medicinal herb appeared.

"If a skilled alchemist removes the evil spirit of a fourth-grade blood evil ginseng and then refines it into a pill with other medicinal herbs, the pure energy in it would probably make even Douling masters jealous."

Seeing the emotions of the crowd being aroused, the old man narrowed his eyes.

"Starting price: 100,000 gold coins."

"Medicinal herbs?" Xiao Li murmured as he looked at the Blood Evil Ginseng.

"Why, do you need it?" asked Mr. Qian.

"If possible, of course I want it, but it's not a necessity. It's better to save the money for what I really need later." Xiao Li responded.

Elder Qian nodded and silently took note of the person who took the photo of the Blood Evil Ginseng. When he found that the other person was not a good person at first glance, he had already put him on the kill list in his mind.

After the first bidding lasted for a few minutes, it was successfully bought by a thin man with an excited look on his face for 180,000 gold coins.

After the first auction went smoothly, a dazzling array of treasures, armor, fighting skills, martial arts, medicinal herbs, etc. began to appear on the auction table.

There was even one time when Xiao Li looked at the little beauty who was pushed up with some astonishment. She was not very old, perhaps only twelve or thirteen years old, but her figure was developed to an astonishing degree.

After a lot of competition, it was sold at a high price of 100,000 yuan, and the old man on the stage was grinning so hard that his mouth was crooked.

After witnessing the darkness of the Black Horn Region once again, Xiao Li shook his head. He had killed people here. Not to mention being punished, it would be considered a blind God if there was no merit from heaven.

Xiao Li sat on a soft chair, looking indifferently at the ugly scenes around him, closing his eyes slightly, waiting for something that would make his heart beat.

In the early stages of the auction, there were no unusual objects that set off the atmosphere, and the bidders were only those sitting in the back. The tyrannical forces with huge amounts of money in the front row had so far... Not once.

"Ding~"

Another crisp bell sound came from the crystal stage, and the white-haired auctioneer looked at the items that were pushed onto the stage with a smile on his face.

Xiao Li narrowed his eyes. This thing turned out to be a medicine cauldron.

"Everyone, this is the Shengling Cauldron, a fifth-level medicine cauldron. It has a significant amplification effect on the refining of fifth-level and lower elixirs. According to our practice, even fifth-level elixirs can be amplified by 10% to 20%. For elixirs above this level, although the effect is smaller, it can still be amplified."

The old man's face was covered with cunning smiles, highlighting the advantages and blurring the disadvantages, which has always been their forte in the auction house.

"Everyone, this is a rare tripod. The starting price is 500,000 gold coins."

There is no shortage of alchemists in the Black Horn Region, and all of them are extremely rich. Although this medicine cauldron has a small audience, its competitiveness is not small at all.

"I'll offer 550,000. I hope you'll give me, Old Man Wan, some face." An old man sitting in the front row spoke up. He was determined to get this thing.

But most alchemists are proud and arrogant, so how could they back down just because of his words?

"Humph, I, Zhang, also want to see how this medicine cauldron works. Six hundred and fifty thousand!" The alchemist surnamed Wan's face darkened. "Damn Zhang Qiong, arguing with me again. Seven hundred thousand!"

The price was suddenly raised by two hundred thousand, which made Xiao Li's breathing quicken. Wow, this group of people really don't take money seriously. All his assets couldn't even reach the bottom price, yet they actually spent fifty thousand or a hundred thousand. It was really shocking.

"Do you need it?" Old Qian turned his head and looked at Xiao Li.

"My brother is an alchemist, but... it's not a good idea to trouble Elder Qian again. After all, it's a family matter."

Xiao Li scratched his head embarrassedly, that was enough, forget about his own business, after all, he was a student of Canaan College, it was really inappropriate if he ate and took things while thinking about his family.

"No problem, it's an easy thing." Mr. Qian closed his eyes and remembered another person in his heart.

"Nine hundred and fifty thousand, deal."

At this time, the old man on the auction table made the final decision, and the owner of the medicine cauldron was temporarily determined to be the alchemist named Zhang.

One item after another was auctioned off. As an annual event in the Black Horn Region, the quality was impeccable and no items were left unsold. Even Xiao Li was envious of some of the items.

Qian Lao saw this and kept adding to his kill list, taking this opportunity to clean out the scum in the Black Horn Region.

It can be seen that the old man is quite satisfied with today's results. He said loudly: "Thank you all for your support today. This last item is the sixth-level elixir, the Douling Pill!"

As he spoke, the old man took out a jade bottle. The elixir inside was sparkling, attracting the attention of everyone in the audience.

The old man chuckled, "The person who made this pill concealed his name, so I'm sorry I can't tell you. Everyone knows the effect of the Douling Pill, which is that it can help a Dou Wang improve his strength by one star. It's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. The starting price is 500,000 gold coins!"

As soon as the old man finished speaking, the crowd below the stage became excited. Many of the people present were from the big forces in the Black Horn Region such as the Blood Sect and the Black Skull Tomb. There were Dou Wangs and Dou Huangs in the sects, and they were extremely eager for the Dou Ling Pill.

"Six hundred thousand!"

"Seven hundred thousand!"

Xiao Yan's three-patterned Qingling Pill was sold for 1.5 million. Xiao Li estimated that the transaction price of this Douling Pill should be no less than 2 million.

"This pill is quite effective. I can save it for you to use when you become a Dou Wang." Elder Qian said softly, but his words made Xiao Li's mouth twitch.

As expected of Mr. Qian, he came to the auction without paying a penny but wanted to get everything.

"Thank you, Mr. Qian." Xiao Li's lips curled up into a smile. Is this the feeling of having a backer? It was so cool.

In the end, the Douling Pill was sold for 2.3 million and was taken by the people from the Blood Sect.

"Okay, kid, now that we're done, go get your stuff, and I'll go get the stuff that's been left with someone else."

Elder Qian stood up and pulled the black hood on his head lower, with a bloodthirsty light flashing in his eyes.

Cleaning up some people now will make the Black Horn Region more stable, to prevent so many bored people from trying to establish their authority by using Canaan Academy.
