Chapter 223 Golden Eyes!
After selling the only valuable item on him, the next items to be auctioned had nothing to do with Liang Qu at all.
He sat in the box and listened with everyone, having fun and broadening his horizons.
"Divine Dew, regenerates broken limbs and below, clears meridians and relieves congestion, starting price is one thousand taels!"
"The Dizang wood is a precious tree species that survives being buried underground for a thousand years, then comes back to life. It is half charcoal and half plant, half alive and half dead. The tree in front of you is the Phoebe nanmu tree species, and the starting price is 1,200 taels!"
Half life, half death, half charcoal, half plant.
Obviously, like the two-life flower, it is a treasure that is similar but different. It is extremely good to use it as a resource for practicing the Dragon-Tiger Golden Body.
Unfortunately, Liang Qu was not qualified to bid. He had only three hundred taels of silver on him, so he had no choice but to listen to others buying it for a huge sum of four thousand six hundred taels of silver.
"Purple bamboo tendons, one section per hundred years, the most precious bowstring, starting price is eight hundred taels!"
"Thunder Seal, a mid-level martial art, starting price is five hundred taels!"
"Bone Axe, spiritual weapon."
"Ice steps, leaving frost behind with every step."
The auction has everything from rare treasures, martial arts techniques, to magical weapons and armor.
When the number of auctions reached the 60th item, the transaction price soared to over 10,000 taels of silver.
In the box, Yang Dongxiong spent a huge sum of 18,000 taels to buy a rare treasure.
Liang Qu was not surprised.
The annual turnover of Guangwu Hall was several thousand taels in the past when it was in Pingyang Town, and now it is even more than ten thousand.
Not to mention that Yang Dongxiong had other additional income projects, for example, last year the magistrate of Chaojiang County invited his master to take charge, which must have cost a lot.
As the starting price got higher and higher, the circle of competition gradually shrank from the first and second floors to the front of the first floor and the second floor. After the hundredth piece, it was rare to see anyone on the first floor bidding.
After a full hour, more than a hundred lots were sold one after another, which shocked Liang Qu at how wealthy people there were in Pingyang County today.
Zhu Bingcan on the stage did not look tired at all, his face was still rosy, and he even looked a little excited.
The waiter pushed a cart onto the stage, which was covered with a black cloth.
“The last lot of the day.”
Zhu Bingcan pinched the black cloth with his fingers, suddenly lifted it up, and slowly floated to the stage.
"The Wansui Immortal Vine can extend the lifespan of ordinary people by eight years! Even a master of Zhenxiang can extend his lifespan by more than three years. The starting price is fifty thousand taels of silver!"
Finally, it’s the last lot’s turn.
The treasure that prolongs life, called the Wansui Xianteng, can prolong life for a full eight years!
As the main item of the first auction in Pingyang County and Pingyang Prefecture in the future, the starting price alone is as high as 50,000 taels, but it does not reduce the enthusiasm of the auctioneers at all, and a bidding frenzy has been set off in the entire venue.
"One hundred thousand taels!"
"One hundred thousand! Master No. 8 offers one hundred thousand!"
Liang Qu recognized that it was Xu Yuelong's voice. It sounded a little careless, without any seriousness in it. It was even less serious than when he went to the river to fish with his fishing rod every day.
"One hundred and fifty thousand!"
"One hundred and fifty thousand! Lord No. 15 offers one hundred and fifty thousand!"
"One hundred and sixty thousand."
"One hundred and eighty thousand."
"Two hundred thousand!"
From 160,000 to 200,000, every increase in the price by tens of thousands of taels of silver was as easy as the few copper coins that Aunt Zhang from Liangqu's family cut off when she went to buy vegetables every day.
"Two hundred and fifty thousand."
Liang Qu felt that the voice shouting 250,000 sounded very familiar. After thinking carefully, he realized that it was the magistrate of Pingyang County.
They had met before in the academy, and he still remembered the contemptuous look when he was writing.
The bidders were very enthusiastic and the price of the Wansui Immortal Vine quickly reached a huge amount of 300,000!
At this point, even Yang Dongxiong was not qualified to participate, and there were no more than two hands in the entire venue who could continue to bid.
Liang Qu counted and found that on the surface there were probably the leaders of the three law enforcement departments, two from the Demon Hunting Department, two from the Hebo Office, and Jian Zhongyi, a total of six people.
Of course, there might be some big guys hiding in the crowd, but they are just not interested in the treasure that can prolong life.
As the highlight of this auction, the bidding has lasted for half a cup of tea, which is twice as long as the other items, and the value is still increasing.
Three hundred and fifty thousand, three hundred and eighty thousand, four hundred thousand.
"Four hundred and fifty thousand!"
"Four hundred and eighty thousand!"
Four hundred and eighty thousand!
Everyone was overwhelmed by the huge number.
Even if you don't spend your own money, your heart will still skip a beat and your hands and feet will turn cold when you hear about such a terrifying amount of wealth.
"Four hundred and eighty thousand each time!"
"Four hundred and eighty thousand times!"
"Four hundred and eighty thousand three times!" "Deal!"
Zhu Bingcan dropped the hammer, like hammering an iron nail into wood.
"Congratulations to Mr. Number Three for winning the Immortal Vine!"
The price finally stopped at 480,000 taels of silver, and the winner was Jian Zhongyi, the magistrate of Pingyang County!
The price is 200,000 taels higher than the second-to-last piece, which was sold for 280,000 taels, which is double the price!
The group lost its voice.
There were more than a dozen large ice tables emitting cold air in the venue, but some people still couldn't help but open their collars to get some fresh air, as if they were caught in a torrent of money and couldn't breathe.
"Four hundred and eighty thousand, how long will it take me to earn it?"
Xu Zishuai murmured, counting on his fingers how much money it would cost to live one more day.
"Four hundred and eighty thousand, that's sixty thousand taels of silver a year, and there are more than three hundred and sixty days in a year, so a total of one hundred and sixty-six taels and six cents a day...
If a master takes it, it will be 438 taels, 3 qian and 5 fen per day."
Liang Qu looked at Xu Zishuai in surprise. He didn't expect that his fourth senior brother was so good at math. He would definitely be able to make a lot of money as a shopkeeper.
But he was also shocked by this exaggerated number.
An ordinary farmer can only earn a few taels of silver after working hard in the fields for a year. The cost of living just one extra day is the total output of an ordinary person in thirty or forty years.
How long can a person live? Only fifty or sixty. Ten years less, ten years older, and another forty years later, he will be sixty already.
In other words, the cost of extending your life by one day is equivalent to the lifetime output of others.
It is true that time is money and money can’t buy time.
What is the most expensive treasure in the world?
It is only a treasure that can prolong your life.
To reach the level of a Grandmaster and comprehend supernatural powers, it is already difficult to break through the realm by relying solely on natural resources and treasures.
If you want to live a few more years, you can only rely on external things.
If one has strength, power and money, and is willing to spend, the prices of things that can prolong life will naturally be driven up to an astonishing level that ordinary treasures cannot even dream of.
It’s just that Liang Qu is a little strange.
"If I remember correctly, County Magistrate Jian should be in his prime. Why is he so obsessed with the longevity treasure?"
He had met Jian Zhongyi once in person, and people would have believed him even if he was in his twenties, let alone thirties or forties.
"Maybe it was given to an elder in the clan." Xu Zishuai pondered for a while, "I remember that among the three Zhenxiang Grandmasters of the Jian family, one is very old, over 320 years old, and has lived from the previous dynasty to the present day, almost reaching the limit of Zhenxiang. That person seems to be the direct elder of Jian Zhongyi?"
"No wonder."
Grandmaster Zhenxiang's life span was no more than 300 years, but he could have lived to over 320 years. I'm afraid he must have taken countless life-extending treasures. Just think about it, it's an astronomical number.
too frightening.
The family background is so terrifying!
"The most talented among us should be our junior brother. Who knows, he might be able to establish a Liang family in the future! One that will last for a thousand years! When that happens, don't forget us, the senior brothers and sisters."
Liang Qu smiled and said, "If I can establish a noble family, I will definitely marry my brothers and become a family."
"Then I will have an arranged marriage with my junior brother."
"Count me in." Xiang Changsong intervened.
It is not easy to establish an aristocratic family. Even a Zhenxiang master is unstable unless there are multiple ones, or a Martial Saint appears.
How difficult it is to be a Martial Saint.
"It's not impossible..."
He has the Ze Ding in his body, and the fusion of Ze Monkey is only 30%, but he can already deal with ordinary big monsters. If it is perfect, wouldn't he be able to defeat the tiger-hunting monster?
The Water Ape above, and finally Wuzhiqi...
Yaolong Wusheng is not Liang Qu's end.
Transformed into a rainbow, the realm of immortality, with an aura as long as a rainbow, and an unknown lifespan...
Lu Gang patted Liang Qu on the shoulder and said, "Let's go. Junior brother, you took a picture of a pair of golden eyes. It's time to go get them."
"it is good."
Liang Qu followed behind his master and several fellow apprentices. Zhu Bingcan was already presiding over the conclusion of the auction. He arranged for everyone to have a free meal and had people trade the auction items.
Liang Qu took his number plate and found the golden-eyed beast numbered eight.
As he got closer, the attraction of that pair of golden eyes to him was doubled, and he wanted to grab it and eat it on the spot.
The accompanying waiter used special tools to carefully take out a pair of dazzling eyes from the huge head of the golden-eyed beast, soaked them in a transparent glass bottle, placed them on a tray, held them in both hands, and handed them to Liang Qu.
Liang Qu picked up the glass bottle and looked at the corpse of the golden-eyed beast that was pushed away. He felt an inexplicable emotion in his heart.
Hey.
I spent three thousand six hundred taels and only got a pair of eyes, not even a piece of meat to eat.
Fortunately, the most valuable thing about the golden-eyed beast is its pair of golden eyes.
The presence of two eyes makes it much more valuable than ordinary monsters, and the rest of the parts are just extras.
Not too bad.
"Can I get the Fiery Eyes and Golden Pupils..."
Liang Qu was filled with excitement.
