Chapter 204: Spiritual Herbs Finale

"One thousand middle-grade spiritual stones!"

Seeing that the bidding for the ice crystal bracelet had entered a lull after the bidding reached 800 pieces of medium-grade spirit stones, Xiao Mian took action at the right time, and the price reached 1,000 pieces of medium-grade spirit stones.

You must know that Xiao Mian is not in the elegant pavilion representing the monks of the Five Elements Sect now, but sitting in a casual seat under the auction table. As a casual cultivator in the foundation building period, he quoted a thousand middle-grade spiritual stones and asked him to sit down. The monks around Xiao Mian all looked sideways.

One thousand pieces of middle-grade spiritual stones is equivalent to one hundred thousand pieces of low-grade spiritual stones.

Among foundation-building monks, one thousand spirits is enough to be considered a huge fortune.

Xiao Mian was unmoved and sat as calm as a mountain.

"This friend! I have a good friend who has ice-attribute spiritual roots. This pair of ice crystal bracelets is very suitable for her to use. I wonder if it would be convenient for me to give this thing to you?" Sitting not far away from Xiao Mian, There was a young man in rich clothes. Although he said words of request, his expression was arrogant. He didn't even raise his hands in salute and said to Xiao Mian: "Xia Houming, the young master of the Xiahou family, I hope you can give me some face!"

"How much do you bid?" Xiao Mian asked instead without answering. Xia Houming smiled when he heard this, opened his folding fan and whispered: "I'll bid you one thousand one hundred yuan for medium-grade spiritual stones!"

"Fifteen hundred yuan won the spirit!"

Without looking back, Xiao Mian directly quoted his insured price.

"You! Boy, don't be so shameless!"

Xia Houming, who originally thought Xiao Mian would retreat, upon hearing Xiao Mian's offer, his jade-like handsome face twisted. He closed the folding fan and pointed it at Xiao Mian like a flying sword. His expression was extremely ugly.

This Xia Houming is somewhat famous in Lingchuanfang City. His unexpected incident caused the casual cultivators present to whisper.

Xiao Mian turned around and glanced at Xia Houming with indifferent eyes. However, when he saw the people beside Xia Houming, he was slightly startled, nodded, and shook his head.

"For the sake of your friend, I'll spare you this time. From now on - don't point anything at me!"

Xia Houming was furious at Xiao Mian, but when he wanted to say something more, the person beside him hurriedly stopped him and whispered something in his ear. After listening to his friend's warning, Xia Houming's face turned blue and white, but he did not dare to say anything more.

Xia Houming's friend breathed a sigh of relief, and then bowed his hands to Xiao Mian, and Xiao Mian nodded in greeting - because that person was Huangfuling's brother Huangfuying!

Huangfu Ying was in charge of the Huangfu family and had quite some contacts with the Xiahou family on weekdays, so she got along well with Xiahou Ming. Huangfuying hadn't noticed Xiao Mian's presence until Xiao Mian turned around and stared at Xia Houming. Huangfuying woke up and quickly stopped Xia Houming's further provocation and saluted Xiao Mian.

joke!

That was Xiao Mian, who even claimed to be unbeatable by his sister, who was at the top level of the Foundation Establishment stage. Wasn't Xia Houming asking for trouble by going against him?

Fortunately, Xiao Mian didn't embarrass the two of them for Huangfuling's sake.

With this interruption, everyone was speculating on Xiao Mian's identity. At the same time, no one dared to increase the price rashly - could he be an ordinary person who could make the usually arrogant and domineering Xia Houming suffer a loss?

In this way, Xiao Mian got the pair of ice crystal bracelets at the cost of 1,500 mid-grade spiritual stones. If Xia Houming hadn't intervened, he would have saved 200 mid-grade spiritual stones.

Of course, for Xiao Mian, one or two hundred yuan was nothing.

Although Granny Li on the stage was quite displeased, Xiao Mian did not threaten her with words after all. Instead, the casual cultivators present gave up bidding out of caution. Of course, another reason was also because the ice crystal bracelet with ice properties was too unconventional. , if Xia Houming didn't happen to know a female cultivator with ice attributes and wanted to take a picture of the ice crystal bracelet to please the beauty, he might not even bid. After all, 1,500 yuan for middle-grade products is not much for Xiao Mian. Spiritual stones, for many casual cultivators, are a property that can be considered extremely wealthy.

After the delivery of the spirit stone and ice crystal bracelet was completed, Xiao Mian directly handed the ice crystal bracelet to Xiao Chuqing, who was blinking at the side.

"Is this... for me?" After being overjoyed, Xiao Chuqing returned the ice crystal bracelet. Under Xiao Mian's puzzled gaze, Xiao Chuqing said softly: "Master often taught Chu Qing: there is no merit without merit. Shoulu! Besides, this thing is worth a lot of money, Chu Qing doesn’t dare to ask for it!”

"Silly girl! It's just a top-level magic weapon. As long as you like it, it will be a priceless treasure. Senior brother will definitely help you get it and keep it in your hands!"

"..., Third Senior Brother! Why are you so nice to me? Do you like Chuqing?" Xiao Chuqing's words made Xiao Mian stunned. Seeing the little girl looking at him seriously, Xiao Mianzheng didn't know how to answer, Xiao Mianzheng Chu Qing lowered her head and murmured in a low voice: "But Chu Qing is only fourteen years old, still young! Master said that the most important thing for Chu Qing now is to successfully build the foundation in order to be able to participate in the sword fighting meeting. If senior brother..."

"Silly girl! What are you thinking about?" He rubbed Xiao Chuqing's little head in confusion. When the little girl raised her head, Xiao Mian said seriously: "Senior brother naturally likes Chu Qing, but he only thinks of you as me. My biological sister!”

"Sister?" Xiao Chuqing was stunned for a moment, her pink face turned slightly red, and then her beautiful eyebrows furrowed slightly. She seemed to have remembered something from the past, and murmured to herself: "So, it seems that my mother did talk about it back then, Chu Qing has a big brother!”

Xiao Mian, who had been paying attention to Xiao Chuqing, felt a sting in his heart for no reason after hearing these words.

"Mom..., your mother told you that you have a brother? Did she tell you where your brother went? Do you remember your parents?"

Xiao Mian asked softly, suppressing the pain and excitement in his heart.

Xiao Chuqing was stunned when she heard this, then tilted her head and thought for a long time, then shook her head.

"I vaguely remember my mother talking about me having a brother, but I don't remember where he went. I was still young when I was taken up the mountain by my master, but I can't even remember the faces of my parents..." Third Senior Brother "Can you take me home? I want to see my parents..." What's wrong with you?"

"Ah? Oh! It's okay..." Turning his head, Xiao Mian blinked away the tears that filled his eyes, then turned to look at the uneasy Xiao Chuqing. After a long time, he nodded and said: "Okay! When the auction is over, senior brother will Take Chuqing home!”

"Really? Senior brother won't lie to me?"

"When did senior brother lie to you? How could senior brother be willing to lie to you?"

"I knew that senior brother was the best!"

When she said this, Xiao Chuqing's face was filled with a happy smile. She was actually happier than getting the ice crystal bracelet. Xiao Mian felt even more miserable after looking at it.

Fortunately, the auction did not stop during this period, and the next several items were items commonly used by casual cultivators. Everyone was busy bidding, but not many people noticed Xiao Mian and Xiao Chuqing in the corner. Xiao Mian was determined after all. After suppressing the sadness caused by the situation, Xiao Mian turned his attention back to the auction.

The next few auction items were just ordinary goods, and the quality may be better than the mainstream goods, but they could not enter Xiao Mian's eyes at all, so that the price of the auction items was even reduced from a medium-grade spiritual stone to a low-grade spiritual stone. It is no wonder that Chi Lianxialian showed up. They were too lazy to show up. I think the reason why Xiang Wuqing came to the auction lightly was probably because he was similar to himself. He was bringing his younger brother Xiang Wuji to see the world.

With that being said, it’s not surprising that the Demonic Shadow Sect didn’t send anyone to participate!

Thinking of this, the doubts in Xiao Mian's heart subsided a lot.

From then on until the final lot appeared, nothing appeared that made Xiao Mian's eyes shine. Xiao Mian was too lazy to take action. However, Xiao Chuqing was quite moved when she saw the auction in full swing and asked Xiao Mian for a full lot. The storage bag of low-grade spiritual stones started to be auctioned by everyone.

That small storage bag contained a total of 10,000 low-grade spiritual stones. Although it was not a lot, it was enough for Xiao Chuqing to squander.

So when the final lot appeared, Xiao Chuqing already had three more artifacts on her body that were not even worthless in Xiao Mian's opinion, and the price was 7,000 low-grade spiritual stones!

Maybe I am really too spoiled to this girl!

As soon as this idea came up, Xiao Mian smiled and relaxed when he saw Xiao Chuqing returning the remaining three thousand low-grade spiritual stones to herself with some anxiety.

But the next moment, Xiao Mian was attracted by the final lot of this auction. Xiao Mian was very familiar with that lot, because it contained five cold stone boxes!

Xiao Mian was also wondering before that why he didn't see the spiritual herbs he gave to Chi Lianxia for consignment at the auction. He didn't expect Chi Lianxia to take such good care of him and put his five cold stone boxes in the finale. position.

You must know that even if the same thing is auctioned in the middle or at the finale, it may result in two completely different price points. After all, not everything has the value of the finale. The so-called finale auction must have transcendence. Valuable artifacts - such as the gold-condensing good fortune pill, or the small hundred-refining cauldron!

Of course, judging from the generally low value of the lots in this auction, Xiao Mian's cold stone boxes do have the potential to become the finale.
