Chapter 131: The Monster Clan Auction

Including myself, I am the seventh.

Cheng Bai thought about it, then slowly sat down next to the long-necked man in the third row, choosing a higher tree stump so that it was relatively convenient to watch the whole scene.

The guests sat facing the tallest tree stump in the venue. Yu Feifei personally presided over the auction and directed it calmly. At first glance, the tiny Flower Fairy Queen sat on it, like a one-man show on an empty stage.

Groups of flower fairy elders gathered under the tree stumps and were busy displaying the items for auction.

All of them have reached the level of Yi Jin realm and are stronger than ordinary people. They quickly piled a batch of goods that were as dry as dead leaves on the trailer and pushed them over. Occasionally, a few leaves would roll down, and the elders would quickly spread their wings and fly over to pick them up and pile them up.

Yu Feifei introduced: "The skin of the three-legged golden toad is 2355 kilograms, a rare second-level medicinal material, which can be used to cure diseases and detoxify, or to refine magic weapons. Please name your price."

The visitors shook their heads one after another, seemingly uninterested.

Only the swordsman in the eerie armor said slowly, "Six thousand taels of corrupt silver, no more."

The long-necked man shook his head and sighed, "Ghost Sword King, this is only 10% of the market price, how can I get it?"

The gloomy armored swordsman laughed strangely, as if the sound was forced out from the depths of his throat: "Old Master, business is business, I can only offer this much, no more."

Shen Lu chuckled and said, "This price is one of the better ones I've seen today."

Yu Feifei secretly glanced at the long-necked man, and seeing him nod slightly, she hurriedly said, "Congratulations, Ghost Sword King, deal."

Immediately, a little flower fairy flew over with paper and pen and gave them to the Ghost Sword King.

The Ghost Sword King took the pen and casually drew a crooked oval on the paper. In the upper half of the circle, there were two small circles of different sizes, like a weird ghost face. Then there was a short vertical line on the top of the head, a short vertical line on the chin, and a short horizontal line on the short vertical line on the top of the head. It looked a bit like a ghost head inserted on a rapier. This was its signature.

The little flower fairy happily took the buyer's signature, flew to the toad skin on the car, and pasted it meticulously to indicate who the winner was.

Cheng Bai saw it clearly and thought to himself, "It turns out to be a bargain hunting event."

Then the flower fairy elders pushed over several large bundles of brown-green slender plants, with dozens of shriveled fruits hanging on them, swaying on the carts.

Yu Feifei explained, "There are 574 Dream Vines with 85 Dream Fruits on them. They are rare third-tier spiritual medicines. The fruits, stems and leaves have hypnotic abilities and can be used as drugs or materials for casting illusions."

Most of the visitors watched coldly and remained indifferent.

Shenyu offered a price: "One hundred kilograms of water-repellent stone."

The white-robed man with a lion's head continued, "Five thousand taels of black iron."

The two were of equal value, and Yu Feifei was having trouble deciding. She stole a glance at the Immortal Lao Oh, and seeing that he was facing the white-robed man with a lion's head, she sang, "Congratulations, Beast King Mo Yun, on the deal."

Cheng Bai nodded secretly. If he were to choose, he would also choose the latter.

Although the two are of similar value, it depends on which local resources are more convenient to circulate. Whether it is Qiongqi Continent or Shanhui City, the mainstream is refining, so naturally gold and iron resources are valued, and spirit stones are second. If it is a region dominated by array masters, it will be the other way around.

Shen Yao was a little annoyed and said in a delicate voice: "The Beast King really acted in time and got a big bargain."

The Moyun Beast King bowed slightly and said, "If Fairy Mirage likes it, I will buy it and give it to you as a gift. How about that?"

Shen Yao was secretly delighted when he heard this, and said with a smile: "The Beast King is truly a good friend of mine."

The little flower fairy who came to deliver the signature didn't care what you used it for. Anyone willing to spend money was a good customer. She happily put the signature of Moyun Beast King on the cart.

Cheng Bai was secretly surprised: "Does the Flower Fairy Queen obey the orders of the Immortal Old Yu? Yes, the guests here are all top masters of each race, and Yu Feifei is too weak in comparison. If there is no master of sufficient weight to keep the peace, who would be willing to abide by the rules and trade obediently? I wonder what the identity of this immortal behind the scenes is."

Elder Huaxian pushed over another batch of herbs, which were the Heart-Refining Grass that Cheng Bai was familiar with, and the quantity was surprisingly large.

Yu Feifei's voice became more rhythmic: "169 pieces of Refining Heart Grass, a rare third-level elixir that helps improve spiritual awareness and is a good material for alchemy. Please make an offer."

The bald man in soft armor grinned and shouted, "20 jins of Feiying Stone."

The nine-headed white-haired giant offered: "Twenty thousand taels of black iron."

20 jin of Feiying Stone is equivalent to approximately taels of black iron, which adds a lot.

The bald man in soft armor was stunned and said hurriedly: "Master Ghost Car, you can't raise the price like this."

Cheng Bai thought to himself, "Could this nine-headed weirdo be the ancient god from the Sky Island?"

The nine heads of the Ghost Car Immortal looked in all directions. Hearing this, he squinted at the bald man in soft armor and snorted coldly, "I'm just raising the price, Bashe King, are you dissatisfied?"

The Bashe King quickly cupped his hands and said, "The Great Ghost Cart Immortal wants it, and I am willing to give it to him."

This kind of elixir has many more uses than the previous auction items, and it is inexpensive and of good quality. Cheng Bai was somewhat tempted, so he imitated the bidder and said, "Six thousand taels of star gold."

The immortal Lao Oh immediately turned his gaze to Cheng Bai. The exchange rate between the two precious metals was approximately four taels of black iron equal to one tael of star gold. It was obvious at a glance which one was higher.

Yu Feifei looked at Cheng Bai and felt that he looked familiar, so she asked, "Who is this?" She suddenly remembered that he was the customer she had met and traded jewelry with by the Jiuzhu River.

Yu Ran happily rushed forward to report: "Your Majesty, he is Boss Cheng, a big client I found."

Yu Feifei had been looking forward to a straightforward guest for a long time. She was about to announce the winner with a look of joy on her face, but she heard the Ghost Car Immortal shout, "30,000 taels of black iron."

The eyes of the Immortal Lao Oh lit up, and he turned to look at the Immortal Gui Che.

Yu Feifei asked, "The 30,000 taels of black iron from the Ghost Car Immortal are effective. Does Boss Cheng want to raise the price?"

Cheng Bai nodded and continued, "Eight thousand taels of star gold."

According to the market price known to Yao Zong, one piece of Refining Heart Grass is worth three thousand taels of gold, and four taels of gold can be exchanged for one tael of Black Iron. Such a large quantity is far from the price it should be worth.

The Ghost Car Master didn't like to haggle over the price, and was a little annoyed, so he shouted, "I don't want it."

The old immortal faced Cheng Bai, with his neck held high like a proud swan, and the look he gave the other person was as if he had found a treasure.

Yu Feifei announced on the spot: "Boss Cheng, congratulations on the deal."

The little flower fairy flew over excitedly and handed over paper and pen for signing.

Cheng Bai signed the word "Bai" with a flourish of his brush.

Then the flower fairy elders brought out a batch of insect legs. Cheng Bai thought they looked familiar, but he didn't know what they were.

Yu Feifei's voice was mellow and steady. "The legs and feet of the blood-sucking insect weigh 45 kilograms in total. They are fourth-grade medicinal materials that can replenish blood and qi. If refined into a magic pill, it can bring people back to life. Please make an offer."

It turned out to be the blood-sucking insect he had seen last night. Cheng Bai suddenly remembered the record in the "Secret Book of Medicine Collection" that elixirs that can resurrect the dead are extremely rare. Most of the legends in the market are fictitious. It is difficult for a cultivator to see one or two in his lifetime. Among them, there is a real elixir that can take lives.

The book had long been swallowed by the inheritance magic cube. Cheng Bai could no longer bear it, so he probed into the treasure bag to search for the magic weapon.

Li Tong showed the recipe of the Life-Sucking Pill without saying a word, and it really required three herbs: Soul-Restoring Grass, Nine-Leaf Ganoderma Lucidum, and the feet of the blood-sucking insect.

The Basher King stuck out his tongue and hissed, "60 jin of Feiying Stone."

Moyun Beast King continued, "Forty-five thousand taels of black iron."

The two options are of equal value, but the seller will most likely choose the latter.

The Basher King said in dissatisfaction: "How about giving way to me, my dear brother, the Beast King?"

Before the Moyun Beast King expressed his opinion, Cheng Bai said, "Twelve thousand taels of star gold."

No one else bid.

The Ghost Sword King laughed and said, "Ha ha ha ha... Cheng Da Boss is a wealthy and powerful person. We are ashamed of ourselves."

Old Oh turned to Cheng Bai and said nonchalantly, "It's only 17% of the market price. It's a rare bargain."

Yu Feifei quickly announced the deal.

The Flower Fairy elders pushed out another cart of strange stuff, which looked a bit like the jade meat in the pond of the Ghost Face Basin, but much thinner. It was dried in the sun, stacked up piece by piece, and tied with fishing line to prevent it from falling apart.

Yu Feifei introduced in a pleasant voice: "36 stomachs of the Lost Jellyfish, a fourth-level rare natural treasure. They are quite huge when not completely dried. What you see is the dried product that has been shrunk a thousand times. It is a good thing for raising insect poisons. Start bidding."

Cheng Bai thought of the insect eggs he had put into the jade box last night, and asked Li Tong quietly with his consciousness, "What is the stomach of the Lost Jellyfish?"

Li Tong explained: "This deep-sea beast hides in the sea below 10,000 meters. Sometimes it can float in the air. It is an amphibious creature, even rarer than the deep-sea giant monster. It is difficult to collect so many stomachs."

Cheng Bai asked, "Can we raise blood-sucking insects?"

Li Tong said: "Of course, it's a perfect match. I have a method for raising it."

The Ghost Sword King slowly offered the price: "50,000 taels of corrupt silver, no more."

Cheng Bai didn't know how to bid, so he just said, "Ten thousand five hundred taels of star gold."

The exchange rate of the two precious metals is about five taels of silver equal to one tael of gold. Compared with the two, the quoted price for white is slightly higher.

The venue was completely silent. As usual, the old immortal turned his head to Cheng Bai and said in a casual manner, "It's less than 10% of the price, it's really a great bargain."

Yu Feifei made the final decision and said, "Congratulations to Boss Cheng for closing the deal."

The next lot to be auctioned was a small jade vase, the contents of which were bizarre and strange.

Yu Feifei claimed that she had two taels of Nether Bone Dragon's Tears, a fourth-grade supreme treasure that could be used for refining weapons and medicines and was a unique and precious treasure.

Cheng Bai didn't want to miss it easily, so he communicated with the inheritance cube with his spiritual sense and asked about its corresponding value.

Li Tong explained in detail: "The Nether Bone Dragon is a ghost, how can it shed tears? Normally it is impossible. Unless this dragon was kind and passionate when it was alive, and had emotional entanglements that ended in failure, and its resentment did not dissipate after death, and it encountered some rare factors in the ghost stage, it is a rare creature in billions, and even a creature with such emotions."

Cheng Bai asked curiously, "What is the purpose of refining equipment?"

Li Tong said truthfully: "The tears of the Nether Bone Dragon can be used to refine a treasure into a supreme spiritual weapon, but first of all, the spiritual weapon must be of the highest quality at the spirit gathering stage, which is extremely rare. Even if all the conditions are met, the refinement may not necessarily succeed. Usually no one would waste it like this, and not many people are interested in it. It's just that it's extremely rare."

Cheng Bai asked again: "What about refining medicine?"

Li Tong continued, "The Nether Bone Dragon's Tears are also one of the ingredients for the Heavenly Fate Soul Chasing Pill. The formula is extremely mysterious. It also requires the Nine-Leaf Heavenly Ganoderma Lucidum, Rejuvenation Fruit, and Mingming Grass, a total of four ingredients. It is an elixir of immortality that can bring the dead back to life. The first three are extremely difficult, but the last one, Mingming Grass, is not the name of a medicine. Instead, every living being has a corresponding Mingming Grass, and each one is different. It is necessary to calculate the fate to determine which one it is. It is very illusory."

This item is precious, but difficult to use. It is not as practical as the legs of the blood-sucking insect mentioned above. As expected, no one bid for it for a while.

Cheng Bai happily responded to the price: "Nine thousand two star gold." This price was higher than the previous Refining Heart Grass, and was the ideal price for finding a bargain in his mind.

Bashe Wang Chaochengbai stuck out his tongue and said, "60 kilograms of Feiying Stone."

This was probably revenge. Cheng Bai's money was not difficult to come by, so he naturally raised the price: "Twelve thousand taels of gold."

The Basah King hissed, as if laughing, and did not make another bid.

Yu Feifei announced the deal, and the old immortal stared at Cheng Bai, trembling all over, and said reluctantly: "It's less than half of the bargain price, it's a huge bargain."

The auction was coming to an end. Cheng Bai had participated for a long time and finally got what he wanted.

Yu Feifei's voice was melodious: "A piece of the Nurturing Spirit Wood stump, a fourth-level rare spiritual wood, can nourish the soul, protect the sea of ​​consciousness, and strengthen the spiritual power. It is a good material for magic weapons and a premium product for refining equipment."

This time, there was no figure of Elder Flower Fairy busy pushing the carriage.

Yu Feifei added: "The big tree stump that I have set up is the last piece of spiritual wood treasured by the Seven-Colored Forest. It weighs three hundred kilograms. Please make an offer."

Cheng Bai had been staring at the wood pile for a long time. He thought that this piece of spiritual wood was the throne for the Flower Fairy Queen and had not been auctioned. He was still thinking of other ideas. Seeing this, he thought, "Why would they sell off such a treasure at a low price? Are they going to pack up and leave?"

While he was thinking, people at the scene had already responded to the bids.

The Basher King shouted, "150 jin of Feiying Stone."

Moyun Beast King added: "12 taels of black iron."

The Ghost Car Immortal roared, "I'll offer 15 taels of black iron."

This treasure was very popular and the response to the auction was obviously much enthusiastic.

Yu Feifei looked at Cheng Bai eagerly and urged him, "What a good price! The market price is more than four times this, everyone."

Cheng Bai gave enough face and offered: "Forty thousand taels of star gold."

The Ghost Sword King did not participate, but only murmured: "This thing is useless to me."

The mirage smiled sweetly but said nothing.

"Forty thousand two-star gold is valid, is there anyone who wants to increase the price?"

Yu Feifei's voice was full of excitement, which was what the wealthy and powerful wanted.

The nine heads of the Ghost Car Immortal hummed in unison, the sound like an old car starting up, and said rather unhappily: "20 taels of black iron."

Cheng Bai felt that he was able to handle the situation with ease, and added: "Sixty thousand taels of star gold."

The Ghost Car Great Immortal waved his hand and shouted, "30 taels of black iron, I won't add any more."

Cheng Bai was determined to win, and said leisurely: "Eighty thousand taels of star gold."

There was silence all around. There were thousands of little flower fairies watching in the Amethyst Cave, and all of them looked at Cheng Bai with strange eyes.

Cheng Bai felt strange and thought: "To be honest, this price is more than double the market price. Why do all of them think it's abnormal? Are they afraid that I don't have money? It doesn't seem like it. Could it be..."

He raised his head and glanced at the old immortal beside him. Sure enough, he was staring at him. For some reason, there was a hint of pity in his eyes.
