Gu Master Era: My Toad Swallowed the School Beauty at the Beginning

The auction has begun.

The auctioneer is actually Wan Keying, who came in to greet us earlier.

Zhong Li smiled: "This sister is an all-rounder!"

Wan Keying's greatest feature is her smile. Her looks are only average, but her warm smile immediately gives her a charming air!

"Friends from Gold Bell City, thank you for giving Wan's Trading Company face and welcome to our first auction in Gold Bell City! I, Wan Keying, am not talented, but I will stay in Gold Bell City as a representative of Wan's Trading Company. I hope you will take care of me in the future! I will also host this auction!"

Wan Keying said a few simple words and went straight to the point!

"Today, the first item we bring to you is a treasure carefully prepared by Wan's Trading Company. Please take a look!"

With her introduction, a very beautiful girl walked out holding a plate.

The plate was covered with red silk. Wan Keying personally unveiled the red silk, revealing a reddish-brown Gu egg!

"Since we are Gu Masters, the first item to be auctioned must be a Spiritual Gu. This Gu egg is a golden quality Spiritual Gu, a Tiger Beetle..."

Wang Xiao nodded secretly. As expected of Wan's Trading Company, the first item was a golden Spiritual Gu.

However, since it is an auction, Spiritual Gu below golden quality cannot be put on the stage here.

The Tiger Beetle is a very practical Spiritual Gu, characterized by its strong defense and fast speed. Like Wang Xiao's Seven-Star Beetle and Li Nan's Amethyst Rock Spider, it is a similar type of Spiritual Gu in terms of function, but the Tiger Beetle is weaker at the same quality.

Wang Xiao's Seven-Star Beetle and Rhinoceros Beetle are both stronger than the Tiger Beetle, so he had no intention of bidding.

Wan Keying gave a brief introduction and said, "Golden Spiritual Gu Tiger Beetle, starting price 200,000 spirit stones, with a minimum increment of 5,000 each time. Bidding starts now!"

A golden beetle is the dream of most people!

In Gold Bell City, apart from the City Lord and the three major families, not many people can produce golden Spiritual Gu!

Many people with some wealth cannot usually buy golden Spiritual Gu, so the auction has become an opportunity they cannot miss!

As soon as Wan Keying's voice fell, someone immediately made a bid!

"200,000!"

"205,000!"

"220,000!"

...

The price quickly exceeded 300,000!

Zhong Li said: "The price of a golden Tiger Beetle is generally around 300,000, but golden Spiritual Gu are rare. Major families are reluctant to sell them, and people outside the major families have difficulty refining them. Therefore, once they appear at an auction, the price will be pushed to around 350,000!"

The bidding continued to soar. As Zhong Li expected, when the price reached 350,000, only the last two bidders remained. The two made another round of bids, and finally the Tiger Beetle was sold for 360,000!

Wan Keying said with a smile: "Thank you to this distinguished guest for winning the first victory in this auction! To thank the distinguished guest for supporting our Trading Company, all distinguished guests who successfully bid at this auction will receive a VIP token from our Trading Company, and can enjoy a 10% discount on all transactions in Wan's shops in the future..."

Zhong Li praised: "Good strategy! Using the auction to make a name for themselves and paving the way for future business. Wan's Trading Company lives up to its reputation!"

The second item was brought onto the stage, which turned out to be an alchemy furnace.

Wan Keying introduced: "The second item is an alchemy furnace personally refined by Qiao Sanhuai, a master refiner from Skyfire City. The materials used for this furnace are..."

Seeing the alchemy furnace, Wang Xiao was immediately interested.

The alchemy furnace he is currently using is just a common standardized product on the market, and the effect is average.

Therefore, he has long wanted to replace it with a better alchemy furnace.

Seeing Wang Xiao's expression, Zhong Li immediately understood his intention.

He said: "Watch me, I will help you bid for this alchemy furnace!"

Wang Xiao nodded!

Wan Keying finished the introduction and announced the start of the auction: "Three-legged Purple Gold Alchemy Furnace, starting price 100,000 spirit stones, with a minimum increment of 2,000 each time. Bidding starts now!"

"100,000!"

"110,000!"

"115,000!"

"120,000!"

"200,000!"

The last bid of 200,000 was shouted by Zhong Li!

He immediately added 80,000, immediately suppressing the scene. For a time, no one followed the bid!

Zhong Li triumphantly said to Wang Xiao beside him: "Did you see that? This is called momentum! Auctioning is about momentum. You have to overwhelm others with your momentum, making them think that you are determined to win, so they dare not compete with you! This alchemy furnace is from a famous craftsman and is hard to come by. If we slowly bid, the transaction price should be around 250,000! I suppressed others all at once, saving you 50,000!"

There were many people at the scene who wanted to buy an alchemy furnace, but no one continued to bid!

Zhong Li did suppress everyone!

But it was different from what he understood. The reason people were suppressed was not because he bid a high price, but because the bid came from VIP Room Number One.

Those who can enter VIP Room Number One must have an extraordinary identity!

And those who can spend a lot of money to buy an alchemy furnace will definitely not be fools. Who would be willing to offend someone with a great background in order to buy an alchemy furnace!

Therefore, Zhong Li had predicted wrong. Even if he only shouted 130,000, people would not follow!

Strictly speaking, Zhong Li scammed Wang Xiao out of 70,000 spirit stones all at once!

"200,000 once!"

"200,000 twice!"

"200,000 three times, congratulations to the distinguished guest in VIP Room Number One for winning this treasure!"

The alchemy furnace was quickly sent into the private room, and Wang Xiao did not expect that he had been scammed by Zhong Li, so he paid the money happily.

Wang Xiao and Zhong Li were not interested in the following auction items and did not participate in the bidding.

"The 18th auction item is a Gu Refining Stone Slab, please pay attention, distinguished guests!"

As soon as Wan Keying's voice fell, everyone's spirits were focused!

Gu Refining Stone Slab!

This is a treasure from ancient ruins. Each stone slab records a method for refining a Spiritual Gu.

For example, Wang Xiao's master Sun Hong's Crimson Flame Wind Serpent, and the stone slab in Wang Xiao's hand that records the Blood Shadow Mantis Gu.

And the Spiritual Gu refined using the Gu Refining Stone Slab are all unique orange-crystal Spiritual Gu!

Therefore, the scene suddenly became quiet. Everyone did not expect that Wan's Trading Company would take out the Gu Refining Stone Slab in this small place of Gold Bell City. This is a Gu Refining Stone Slab that can refine orange-crystal Spiritual Gu.

Zhong Li couldn't help but stand up: "Wang Xiao, quickly contact your master. The Gu Refining Stone Slab is a treasure that can refine orange-crystal Spiritual Gu. This will definitely cause a frenzy. If your master doesn't come, we can't hold it down!"

Wang Xiao gave him a blank look: "Please use your brain to think! The Gu Refining Stone Slab is so precious, would Wan's Trading Company be stupid enough to sell it in Gold Bell City? There must be something wrong with this stone slab. Wait and see clearly before speaking!"

Zhong Li slapped his head and sat down with a wry smile: "That's right, it seems that my state of mind cultivation is not good enough. I was suppressed by the Gu Refining Stone Slab all of a sudden. You are right, there must be something wrong with this stone slab, otherwise Wan's Trading Company would definitely be reluctant to sell it!"

Sure enough, Wan Keying's next words proved what Wang Xiao said: "However, there are some problems with this stone slab. As we all know, Gu Refining Stone Slabs are all unearthed from ancient ruins. Because the era is too long ago, some of the stone slabs have been damaged. This stone slab is like this, some of the writing on it is not clear. Therefore, the Gu Refining Secret Recipe is incomplete... But even so, this stone slab still has great value, because the material that makes up the stone slab is still very precious..."

Hearing Wan Keying say this, many people immediately lost interest in this stone slab.

Without the Gu Refining Secret Recipe, the value of this stone slab is reduced by ten thousand times. Even if the stone slab material is precious, that is relative to the secret recipe on the stone slab. The material on the stone slab cannot be separated and used in other places, so it is not very useful.

At this moment, many people gave up the idea of bidding.

But Wang Xiao was determined to get it.

Because the system's voice has already sounded: "Ding! A flawed Gu Refining Stone Slab has been detected. The system has restored the Gu Refining Secret Recipe..."

In an instant, a stream of information entered the memory area of Wang Xiao's brain. This is a Gu Refining Secret Recipe that has been supplemented by the system.

"Gu Refining Secret Recipe: Mang Gu Zhu Toad!"

Damn it!

Wang Xiao was speechless!

It's a toad again!

The Gu Refining Stone Slab in Wan Keying's hand records the secret recipe of the orange-crystal Spiritual Gu "Mang Gu Zhu Toad". The secret recipe on the stone slab is incomplete, but the system has already supplemented the secret recipe. Therefore, this stone slab is useless to others, but it is of great use to Wang Xiao.

However, why is it a toad again?

I already have the Giant-Bellied Water Toad, the Giant Stone Bullfrog, and dozens of Poison Dart Frogs. If I get another Mang Gu Zhu Toad, wouldn't I really become the Toad Prince!

At this moment, Wang Xiao's heart was collapsing!
