Chapter 226 Obtaining obsidian, mysterious map
"Half a million!"
The auction price of the Ice and Fire Sword had just dropped when someone in the back seat shouted loudly.
"Fifty-two thousand!" There were obviously many people interested in mid-level weapons like the Ice and Fire Sword, so in less than a minute, the previous bidding price was exceeded.
Mo Yu sat quietly in the chair with his fingers crossed. Hearing the increasing prices that kept ringing in his ears, a faint smile appeared on his face under the black robe.
The popularity of fourth-grade weapons in the Black Corner Domain far exceeded his expectations. Judging from this situation, there is at least enough funds to purchase the auxiliary materials for refining the Soul-melting Holy Grail.
Bidding calls were heard one after another in the auction house. In just ten minutes, the price of the Ice and Fire Sword rose from 500,000 to about 800,000.
When the price reached this point, the outcry obviously became much less frequent. After all, if the price continued, it would be nearly one million. This kind of price was a bit too huge for many people.
"Eight hundred and fifty thousand." Just when the price stopped at eight hundred thousand, a slightly sharp voice finally sounded from the front row.
Hearing the sudden increase of fifty thousand in price, Mo Yu raised his head slightly, his slightly surprised gaze resting on the bidder.
This person is a man in his thirties. There is a long and narrow scar on the left side of his face, covering half of his face. Although the scar is ugly, it adds an unexplainable aura to it. Although this man's aura is restrained, , but it cannot conceal a sharp edge.
The man's face was very calm, but when he looked at the ice and fire swords on the field, there was a flash of fire in his eyes.
His silver eyes flashed, and Mo Yu murmured in his heart: "It turns out that he is an eight-star spirit swordsman with ice and fire attributes. Now, there is no shortage of a good master for the ice and fire sword."
The scarred man's bidding immediately made the noisy auction house much quieter. Some people who had originally planned to raise the price again looked at each other and all flinched.
Seeing this, Mo Yu raised his eyebrows. It seemed that this scarred man had a good reputation in Diyan City, and he actually scared away so many people.
However, the strength of the Eight-Star Dou Ling is indeed extremely powerful. After all, the Dou Huang and Dou Wang strongmen in the Black Angle Region are not common cabbage on the roadside.
However, this news was not so friendly to Mo Yu. Without anyone competing for the price, the Ice and Fire Sword could only be sold for 800,000 yuan.
Although this price is extremely good, it is obviously still a pity.
"Nine hundred thousand."
However, just when Mo Yu thought the price would stop at 850,000, a rough voice suddenly sounded.
His eyes followed the shouting, and finally landed on Gao Ba of the Barbarian Beast Sect in the front row. Mo Yu's heart moved and he murmured in a low voice: "This guy is not a body refiner, why is he interested in the long sword?"< br>
Hearing someone bidding, the scarred man's eyes suddenly became colder. However, when he saw that the person bidding was the young sect leader of the Barbarian Beast Sect, he frowned but did not say anything.
The Barbarian Beast Sect is a top second-rate force. I heard that it seems to be preparing to become a first-rate force recently. Although it has good strength, it is still a little weak compared to such forces.
"Nine hundred and fifty thousand." The scarred man still had no expression on his face and shouted unhurriedly.
"One million!" As soon as the scarred man's bid dropped, Gao Ba immediately shouted.
After saying that, the young master of the Barbarian Beast Sect stood up, raised his hands in the direction of the scarred man and said, "Master Qiu Shui, I have heard for a long time that you have superb swordsmanship and strength, and even my father admires you.
As long as Master Qiu Shui is willing to join our Barbarian Beast Sect, this young sect leader will buy the Ice and Fire Sword and give it to the master for free, and the position of law enforcement elder of this sect will be reserved exclusively for Master Qiu Shui. ”
As soon as he finished speaking, all eyes in the audience were focused on these two people, and some forces in the front row looked at each other in surprise.
No one expected that Gao Ba's purchase of this useless ice and fire sword was not to go against Qiu Shui, but to win over him.
A million gold coins win over a strong man. This Gao Ba doesn't seem to be as rugged as he appears on the surface, but his mind is rough on the outside and subtle on the inside.
At the same time, many forces were also worried. This Qiu Shui was a swordsman who wandered into the Black Corner Territory a few years ago. In just a few years, he gained the title of 'Death Sword'.
Although he is only an eight-star fighting spirit now, he is very young. He may break through to the fighting king at some point. If the Savage Beast Sect absorbs such powerful people, their power may rise to a higher level. By then, their interests will be at stake. It's going to be damaged.
While the big forces had different thoughts, many people in the audience stared at the scarred man with interest. When they heard that the ice and fire sword with one million gold coins was given away, their faces showed even more greed and envy. .
The name of Qiu Shui, the 'Death Sword', is also quite famous in Diyan City, and is known to many people. However, he is very aloof and has refused to be approached by many forces. He only accepts tasks issued by some forces in order to obtain rewards. That’s all.
However, the young sect leader of the Barbarian Beast Sect has personally invited him and presented him with a sword worth one million gold coins. He is obviously very sincere, both in terms of face and dignity.
This has made many people curious about the sword master's next choice.
Many people speculated that Qiu Shui would not refuse Gao Ba's invitation. A sword worth a million plus the position of law enforcement elder was a bargaining chip.
Under the gaze of everyone, the scarred man looked solemn. After thinking for a moment, he frowned slightly. Unexpectedly, the swordsman master slowly shook his head.
"Thank you very much for your kindness, Master Gao and your noble sect. It's just that I have long been accustomed to walking alone and am not used to the constraints of the sect. Please forgive me.
As for the Ice and Fire Sword, although I like it very much, I don’t have to have it. I will pay 1.2 million gold coins. If the young sect leader wants to increase the price, then I will bear the pain and give it up. ”
After saying that, the scarred man slowly closed his eyes, as if he didn't care about the world.
When Mo Yu on the side saw this situation, a strange color flashed in his silver eyes. This strategy of retreating in order to advance was really clever, but it actually put Gao Ba in a dilemma.
It's just that although the scarred man looked plain on the surface, Mo Yu observed the man's slightly disordered aura through his silver eyes. It was obvious that deep down, he was not that calm either.
It's just that the more nervous he is about the Ice and Fire Sword at this time, the easier it will be for Gao Ba to manipulate him, so it is better to show a calm and calm expression.
Seeing this, Mo Yu couldn't help but smile. This Qiu Shui is really a wonderful person.
"Young sect leader, although this ice and fire sword is extraordinary, it is of no great use to our sect. One million is already top-notch. If we add more, it will be a bit of a loss, and we still have to leave funds for the final fight. , As for Qiu Shui, win over him if you can, and give up if you can’t. The great cause of the sect master is the most important.”
Seemingly seeing that Gao Ba wanted to increase the price, the middle-aged strong man beside him hurriedly whispered.
Hearing this, Gao Ba frowned immediately, glanced hatefully in the direction of the scarred man, and said coldly: "For this shameless guy, if it weren't for his qualifications to be promoted to the King of Fighters, coupled with his sword skills, Bufan, this young sect leader is too lazy to personally try to win over me. If I don’t give the Barbarian Beast Sect any face, then this person will not have to live in this world anymore.”
After speaking harsh words to the middle-aged guard, Gao Ba's inner anger also retreated slightly, so the scene of continuing to increase the price did not occur as everyone expected.
"Haha, Mr. Qiu Shui bids 1.2 million. Does anyone else want to increase the price? If not, then this ice and fire sword belongs to him!"
Although the white-haired auctioneer was quite satisfied with the price, he still asked with a smile, and his eyes unconsciously stayed on the position of the young master of the Barbarian Beast Sect for two more seconds.
"Hmph!"
Gao Ba could naturally see the white-haired auctioneer's gaze and thoughts, and immediately snorted dissatisfied.
This kind of behavior of being taken for granted made the anger in his heart suddenly have a tendency to rekindle.
But this is the territory of Diyan Sect after all. Although Gao Ba is domineering, he is not a fool. Although he is angry, he will not do anything irrational.
Seeing the dark expression on the young master of the Barbarian Beast Sect, the white-haired auctioneer also knew that his behavior was inappropriate, so after seeing that he received no reply, he laughed sarcastically and immediately knocked down the auction hammer in his hand.
"One million and two hundred thousand is a good price." A curve appeared at the corner of the shadow's mouth under the black robe. The one and two million gold coins were about to flow into Mo Yu's depleted wallet.
After the Ice and Fire Sword was auctioned at a good price, the Formation-Breaking Overlord Halberd was also taken up by the white-haired auctioneer while the iron was hot.
Compared to the Ice and Fire Sword, the domineering and majestic appearance of the Formation-Breaking Overlord Halberd immediately attracted more people's attention.
As Mo Yu expected, most of the strong men in the Black Angle Region advocated bloody violence and were very enthusiastic about this kind of weapon. Therefore, the competition for the formation-breaking Overlord Halberd became much more intense.
It's just that although the Array-Breaking Overlord Halberd was more versatile, it was not particularly attractive. In the end, it came to an abrupt end when the price stopped at one million.
The white-haired auctioneer seemed a little unwilling to accept this. After shouting a few times, he reluctantly knocked down the auction hammer after no one offered a higher bid.
In the end, the Formation-Breaking Overlord Halberd was auctioned for one million gold coins to a lean and powerful spirit-fighting expert.
It's hard to imagine how such a thin man could wield a tall and domineering halberd. The temperament of the two is really inconsistent.
Although Mo Yu was a little disappointed with the price, he was satisfied.
Two fourth-grade weapons were sold for a total of 2.2 million gold coins. Even after deducting the intermediary fee of the Earth Flame Auction, the income was still more than 2 million.
After his pockets were bulging, Mo Yu also looked at the next auction items with great interest to see if he could get something valuable.
However, after the two weapons were auctioned, the following items were all a bit mediocre. Not only did they not fetch many high prices, but a few items were successfully auctioned off after only raising the price once.
But fortunately, after this low ebb lasted for more than ten minutes, it was finally lifted suddenly. Even Mo Yu cheered up because of the auction item.
On the crystal stage, the auctioneer asked the maid to place the five wooden boxes on the crystal stage in sequence. After the maid stepped back, the white-haired auctioneer opened one of the wooden boxes, revealing two red stones that exuded blazing fire energy.
“Everyone, I’m afraid you all already know what needs to be auctioned next, and that is our sect’s well-known treasure, obsidian.
Fire obsidian lives deep in the lower parts of magma and absorbs deep fire-attribute energy. Whether it is forging weapons or practicing fire-attribute exercises and fighting skills, it is an excellent treasure. This time, our Diyan Sect has specially prepared it for you. Five sets of obsidian, two pieces each, with a minimum auction price of 300,000 gold coins! ”
Hearing this, Mo Yu couldn't help but clicked his tongue. A wooden box with two pieces of obsidian, the auction reserve price was already 300,000, and the transaction price was unknown.
Although obsidian is precious, there are still hundreds of thousands of minerals in one vein. The Diyan Sect auctions it every once in a while, which is obviously for the purpose of hunger marketing and deliberately raising the price.
In this regard, although Mo Yu behaved shamelessly towards Yan Zong, he was determined to get the fire obsidian, so he didn't care about it.
When Mo Yu made up his mind, many people also stared at the obsidian on the field with fiery eyes.
For Mo Yu, obsidian is a must for refining the Soul Fusion Holy Grail, and for most people, the powerful fire energy contained in obsidian is an excellent treasure to help them practice martial arts and fighting skills. .
Therefore, when the first set of fire obsidian was auctioned, the price reached a high price of 600,000 gold coins in just a few moments, and the price showed no intention of stopping.
When the transaction was finally completed, it reached a high price of 970,000 yuan.
Two pieces of palm-sized fire obsidian were sold at such a price. The Earth Yan Sect was worthy of being a major force in the Black Corner Region. It had such a steady stream of financial resources that it would be difficult not to rise.
After the first group of fire obsidian was auctioned, the second and third groups followed quickly and were quickly auctioned off.
Seeing the fierce competition for the obsidian, Mo Yu no longer hesitated. When the auction for the fourth set of obsidian started, he bought it at a high price of 850,000 gold coins.
After getting the fire obsidian, Mo Yu couldn't help but feel relieved. One of the key materials for refining the Soul Fusion Holy Grail was finally in hand.
Just when Mo Yu felt that the trip was complete, the next auction item immediately attracted his attention.
"Haha, the next thing to be auctioned is a little strange, because even we haven't figured out what it does. However, after many arguments at our auction, it is like some kind of unknown treasure map."
The white-haired auctioneer bent over and took out a silver plate, then carefully lifted the brocade cloth on the silver plate. Suddenly, a piece of black cloth exuding a long-lasting aura appeared in everyone's sight.
"Boo!" Looking at the ordinary piece of black cloth, after a moment of silence in the auction house, the whole place suddenly booed.
Hearing those disdainful boos, the smile on the white-haired auctioneer's face was a little sarcastic.
Glancing at the ancient piece of cloth from the corner of his eye, the auctioneer picked it up with two fingers, held it in front of everyone's sight, pointed to the special lines on it, and said with a smile.
"If the prediction is correct, this map should be very old. Although I don't know the meaning of these lines and what it hides, it should not be ordinary goods, right? People always have to gamble. If you are lucky, Maybe what is hidden in it will cause a sensation in the entire Black Corner Region.”
