She went crazy with the relationship between heaven and earth

Chapter 116: Tasty and ridiculously expensive

Gu Shouye was also very angry at this time and had no idea why the auction in Jiancheng was suddenly advanced.

If he hadn't overheard someone talking at the inn before, he would never have imagined that the auction, which was supposed to start in more than ten days, would start immediately.

Even so long in advance, he didn't get any notification from the beginning to the end, and he didn't know what the trading house meant. Did he not plan to do business with out-of-state customers like them anymore?

You know, the invitation that Gu Shouye got was not an ordinary invitation, but the highest-level invitation that Jiancheng Trading House took the initiative to give to an ancestor of Wangxian Sect.

For customers of this level, if the auction time really changes, they must be reminded at least half a month in advance, and it is impossible to have no news at all like now.

Gu Shouye didn't know what the trading house in Jiancheng meant. Did they just miss the notice from their side, or was their situation not an exception?

But no matter what, such a low-level flaw should not occur in a high-standard auction held by the largest trading house in Zhongzhou.

Gu Shouye had a gut feeling that they were being targeted, or in other words, the uncle who finally got this invitation and prepared to use it was deliberately targeted.

However, this was just his speculation, and there was no actual evidence for the time being. In addition, the most important thing at the moment was to catch up with the auction, so Gu Shouye did not say much to Jiang Tang.

"Maybe there was an accident, but the auction has been moved forward to today and will start in less than half an hour."

He said directly: "Uncle Grandmaster, we have to go there now, lest it be too late and the meteorite source stone is taken away by someone."

If Uncle Uncle Grandmaster hadn't taken a fancy to the meteor source stone in this auction, he would have found someone right now to disrupt the business of the so-called No. 1 trading house in Sword City.

But now the main ones are meteorite source stones, and the rest can only be calculated after the auction is over.

"it is good."

Jiang Tang was a little surprised, but that was all.

Ever since she was directly attacked by monsters as soon as she stepped out of the Zhongzhou Teleportation Formation, she didn't think this auction would be too smooth.

They hurried slowly and hurriedly without delaying too much on the road, but they didn't want the final auction to be held so many days in advance, but they still hadn't received any news at all.

So, is the chief decision-maker of the so-called No. 1 trading house in Jiancheng out of his mind, or is he planning to single-handedly destroy the credibility of the entire trading house?

No matter what the reason is, for such a regular auction to be held so far in advance, the first thing is to promptly notify every guest who has received an invitation.

If it cannot be done, then it would be better to suspend it than to do it suddenly and without warning.

Jiang Tang vaguely felt that this incident was probably not a coincidence, just like the sudden attack by the group of soul-eating monsters that he encountered just after leaving the Zhongzhou teleportation array yesterday. Perhaps there was some unexplained connection between them.

"Can the stub of the spiritual tower be used directly at the auction house?"

On the way, Jiang Tang suddenly thought of something, and her intuition told her that most of what happened after setting foot in Zhongzhou was specifically aimed at her.

Maybe, someone didn't want her to get the meteorite source stone.

Perhaps, to some people, her trip to Zhongzhou was not a secret, but the best plan, no matter what the purpose.

"It doesn't seem possible."

Gu Shouye recalled it carefully and shook his head affirmatively: "In order to ensure the fairness of the bidding at the auction, the spiritual stones in the spiritual tower stub cannot be directly traded."

"So, this also means we have less capital on hand."

Jiang Tang nodded, indicating that he understood.

Although she had no intention of using the spare spiritual tower stub given to her by Master Lu at the beginning, now they don't even have time to go to the spiritual tower to redeem the spiritual stones. Unable to use it and not intending to use it are two completely different concepts.

"You mean, we were deliberately targeted?"

Gu Shouye was smart enough, but he had some taste for it all at once.

If this is the case, doesn't it mean that someone has known Jiang Tang's true identity for a long time and has been secretly targeting Ji Tiaozi?

If that's all, it's not too bad. I'm afraid that this is just the beginning. What the secret target ultimately wants is the life of the little uncle.

In this way, things really take off.

"Maybe. Although there is no evidence, there are not so many coincidences in this world."

Jiang Tang felt that it would be more difficult for him to take a picture of the meteor source stone, but he had already come here, so he had to try hard first.

"How about I contact Venerable Burning Sky of Yi Jian Sect right away?"

Gu Shouye didn't dare to be careless, and always felt that he had to make more preparations in advance.

"There's no rush, it's not a life-or-death situation yet. I have to save some favors from the leader and go to the auction first."

Jiang Tang shook his head, but he didn't feel that things had reached that level, otherwise he wouldn't be able to stand here properly now.

Seeing this, Gu Shouye didn't try to persuade him anymore, but became increasingly vigilant.

The two of them arrived at the trading house quickly. After handing in the invitation, someone immediately led them inside and to one of the VIP rooms upstairs.

"Two distinguished guests, the auction is about to begin. If you have any needs, you can press this paging bell, and someone will come in immediately to serve these two distinguished guests."

After personally bringing the person into VIP room No. 5, the person from the trading house explained some basic information here and then left directly without any further interruption.

I have to say that there are preparations that should be made, introductions that should be introduced, explanations that should be given, and space that should be left. In terms of service alone, there is nothing faulty about what the trading house does.

But they did not give any explanation or explanation for the sudden auction in advance. Even when Gu Shouye asked specifically, the other party only said that they were not of a sufficient level and did not know the specific details.

Even if Gu Shouye asked him to find someone with a high level to explain clearly, that person only agreed respectfully but did not give any definite explanation.

"Their attitude is so strange."

After people went out, only his own people were left in VIP Room No. 5. Gu Shouye checked it personally and confirmed that there were no surveillance or eavesdropping magic weapons. Then he said to Jiang Tang: "The trading house didn't seem to care about the sudden incident." An early auction may cause negative impacts, and we are not afraid of offending anyone and damaging the trading house’s reputation and reputation.”

"It's not surprising. This shows that those who really can't afford to offend should have been notified in advance. I'm afraid the original owner of the invitation we have is the only exception."

Jiang Tangke couldn't see any sudden panic or haste in today's auction. On the contrary, everything was carefully arranged, and the trading house's intentions and preparations could be seen in every detail.

This also means that even if the time is suddenly advanced, they have already made sufficient preparations to deal with it. It is impossible for the trading house to be questioned and attacked because of this, thus affecting their own business.

"Just wait. Before the auction is about to end, someone will naturally come over to explain. They will probably also solemnly apologize, saying that someone under his command did something wrong and made a mistake in the busy schedule, which led to the failure to notify us of the original owner of this invitation."

In this way, Jiang Tang was 90% sure that the sudden advance of the auction was indeed specifically targeting her.

It's just that people already had a plan to deal with it. Even if she was lucky enough to catch up, she couldn't blame it too much.

After all, it was just someone's unintentional omission, which is not a big crime. It also raises the level of not targeting anyone specifically for the problem.

As she spoke, she looked at the auction description in her hand and found that the meteorite source stone was ranked first. It seemed that it would be a waste to wait a little further and stay for a moment longer.

"This is really...ha!"

Gu Shouye also figured it out in an instant: "We are so afraid that the Xingyuan meteorite will fall into our hands. Since we are so reluctant, why don't we just put it up for auction, just to tease us?"

"If the meteor source stone is not released, I will definitely not come here."

Jiang Tang put the key to the point: fishing bait should be effective as long as it is effective. Don't waste it if you can.

"..."

Hearing this, Gu Shouye became even more panicked.

It's better to just tease them.

"Why panic? The more things happen, the more it shows that the people behind the scenes dare not take my life openly. At least in Zhongzhou, I can die in the hands of demons and evil spirits, or I can die in various accidents, but it cannot be caused by these malicious people. People take matters into their own hands."

Jiang Tang could see clearly that in the final analysis, Wangxian Sect's status as the youngest ancestor uncle would definitely have a considerable deterrent effect. If she really had an accident in Zhongzhou, Wangxian Sect would definitely mobilize the efforts of the entire sect and even Changzhou. To find out the truth, no one involved will be let go.

Hearing this, Gu Shouye calmed down instantly.

That's right, Wangxian Sect is not a vegetarian.

Since the other party knows the identity of the little ancestor uncle, they only dare to secretly do evil, which shows that they are not without scruples.

As long as he still knows his scruples, it's fine. After all, he and his uncle are not vegetarians either.

The two of them didn't say a few words, and soon the auction downstairs had officially begun.

The auctioneer was a young Jindan female cultivator with concise words and excellent professionalism. She lifted up the rules and atmosphere of the auction in just a few words.

Therefore, even after the female auctioneer introduces the first lot of this auction, the starting price will directly bid for more than 5,000 years of heavenly materials and earthly treasures for two years, and each increase in price will not be less than 10,000 high-grade spiritual stones. Such a shocking price only attracted exclamations of surprise, but no questions or ridicules.

After all, the starting price is not the final transaction price. If the starting price is so high, shouldn’t the final transaction price be sky-high?

Although the Meteor Source Stone is precious enough, it is not unique. As a result, more than 99% of people have stopped trying to take pictures.

If you really have that kind of wealth, wouldn't it be better to fight for the real finale treasure of today's auction - three drops of the best Holy Spirit liquid?

You must know that one drop of the best Holy Spirit liquid can make the golden elixir directly conceive a baby, and three drops of the best Holy Spirit liquid can help the Yuanying increase the chance of becoming a god by 50%.

Compared to actual breakthroughs in cultivation realm, weapon refining materials like meteorite source stones, no matter how precious they are, are still limited in the end.

However, the trading house is obviously not worried that if the starting price is set too high, no one will take interest in the meteorite source stone.

For one thing, their meteorite source stone is big enough, almost the size of a child's head.

Secondly, for some people who are in urgent need of this thing and have nothing to replace it, they will not hesitate to go bankrupt.

Sure enough, as soon as the bidding started, someone immediately shouted the price in the VIP room No. 3 upstairs, and it was not the original starting price, but directly raised the price, suddenly pushing the meteorite source stone to the three-piece, five-thousand-year limit. A new high price for Tiancai Dibao.

The auctioneer was naturally beaming. It was obviously a good start. Now he gave a witty introduction, hoping to stimulate more bidders so that this first auction item could reach a new high.

"Good guy, VIP Room No. 3 isn't someone specially invited by their trading house, is it?"

Gu Shouye calculated the little family fortune of his uncle, and if the situation continued, he probably wouldn't be able to raise the price twice in total.

"It's not a special request, but it must be a carefully selected target guest. The trading house must know that the other party is in urgent need of the Meteor Source Stone, and they will not hesitate to pay no matter how high the price is."

Jiang Tang didn't even raise his eyes. He didn't seem to care much about the situation in the auction area downstairs. Instead, his eyes were fixed on the drop-shaped crystal on the auction item introduction page, and he felt an inexplicable desire to move in his heart.

"System, can you help me check what this crystal is and what its specific uses are."

After explaining it in his mind, Jiang Tang asked Gu Shouye specifically, but he knew something about it.

The description of the auction item given by the trading house was extremely simple. They only said that the drop-shaped crystal came from a tomb of the Immortal King in an extraterrestrial battlefield. What it was and what it was used for, even the senior appraiser of the trading house had no clear results.

Because of this, this thing has the opportunity to flow into the auction house for auction. In addition, it is something from the Tomb of the Immortal King, so the starting price is not low.

In the past, there have been auctions of similar items, and some monks who were not short of money would always bid with the intention of taking a gamble, in case there was really something really good, but they would miss it.

"Aren't we going to take pictures of the meteor source stone?"

Gu Shouye shook his head and said that he didn't know what the drop-shaped crystal was. Could it be that the little ancestor uncle suddenly changed his target?

The only thing the trading house can confirm and guarantee is that this thing did come from a fairy king's tomb somewhere in the domain name battlefield, and it is not immersed in fire and water, and the crystal strength is not inferior to some rare weapon refining materials.

"I still have to shoot, but the result is beyond my control."

Jiang Tang did not embarrass Gu Shouye: "By the way, you can focus on this drop crystal. I think this thing is quite beautiful."

Gu Shouye: "..."

How could it not look good? A crystal stone with no known use, just because it came from the so-called Immortal King's Curtain in the Extraterritorial Battlefield, the starting price was directly raised to 30,000 high-grade spiritual stones.

Expensive ones may not necessarily be the best, but unknown things that are so expensive will become better-looking even if they don’t look good.
