That's right, this young man was the eldest young master of the Kong family in Barren City, Kong Yunhua. He could be considered an old acquaintance of Bai Yu Zhe. He was used to being arrogant, but his first bid was actually beaten by someone of some unknown origin. His heart was filled with anger, so he directly wanted to find out who that person was.
Kong Huayun and Sun Junfei had both been severely punished by the family because of what happened last time. They had even been confined for two and a half months. This had only been released a few days ago. It just so happened that they happened to bump into the auction house of the Barren Merchant Guild. As a result, they made an appointment with Sun Junfei, who had also just been released, and rushed over in high spirits.
After suppressing himself for the past two months, he naturally wanted to relax a bit and vent the anger in his chest. However, he did not expect such a thing to happen. It made him extremely unhappy, and the suffocating feeling in his chest became even worse.
Kong Huayun and Sun Junfei naturally did not need bows and arrows. The reason why he wanted to slap this Black Iron Python's tendons bow was mainly because he wanted to pick up a girl! Two days ago, when he was released, his father introduced him to a person. That person was also from a large clan in Barren City, and could be said to be the perfect match for their Kong Family.
The girl was rather pretty, but after seeing Kong Huayun, she did not lie. As for that girl, she used a bow and arrow, so Kong Huayun wanted to come to the auction to auction off some precious treasures to win the heart of the beauties.
He originally had a bid of 1300 primeval stones, but seeing that his opponent no longer wanted to continue bidding, he suddenly had one, increasing the bid by 500. This made him quite angry. But he still did not lose his reason. One thousand and eight hundred primeval stones for his Kong Family was already a large number.
Plus, he had committed a grave mistake a few months ago, so his father had been very strict with him.
Hearing the young lady's reply, Kong Huayun was about to flare up when Sun Junfei walked up to him and patted his shoulder. "Forget it, brother Kong. Today's auction will be a lot of items. If you miss this one, you can have the next one."
After saying so, Sun Junfei secretly gave him a meaningful glance. The two of them had known each other for so many years, so naturally they had some mutual understanding. Kong Huayun also finally stopped speaking. In fact, he also knew that the Great Desolation Merchant Guild was extremely powerful and was not someone that the Kong and Sun Families could afford to offend.
If he really dared to cause a ruckus here, then maybe he wouldn't only be confined like this, but he might even be able to go back.
"The Black Iron Python Bow was successfully auctioned off for 1800 primeval stones in private room nine. Congratulations VIP number nine, a staff member will be sending this godly bow to your private room." And on the auction stage, the first item had already been completed with Su Mengya's clear and melodious voice.
Soon after, the second item was brought up with the same cart, still covered in a layer of red cloth.
The second item was a bottle of Tier 2 spiritual pellet. It was definitely not worth as much as the Black Iron Python Tendon Bow, which was a Superior Xuan Weapon level item. However, the pellets could be used by almost every warrior, so the bidding was more intense than the first.
As for Bai Yu Zhe and the others, they all had calm expressions as they faced the grade two spirit pills. They didn't even look at them as they drank tea and ate fruits. The quiet He Shengming was actually very curious. A single weapon had cost him one thousand and eight hundred primeval stones, but a Tier 2 elixir should be even more useful. How come there was no reaction at all?
Bai Yu Zhe's group of lackeys did not know that he was refining pills. Not to mention a mere Tier 2 spiritual pill, even if it was a Tier 5 spiritual pill, Bai Yu Zhe and the 18 Blood Guards would not be interested in it.
In the end, this bottle of ten Tier 2 spiritual pills was auctioned off at the VIP lounge for a high price of 980 pills. No matter if it was in the wasteland or the Maze Creek Continent, they were in desperate need of spirit pills. This was because they were consumable and every martial artist would use them.
This was even more so in the wasteland region where the number of alchemists was simply too small.
The quality of the rest of the items would be much lower. Occasionally, a Rank 1 Spirit Pill would be considered pretty good. Most of them would be medicinal herbs that could directly increase one's cultivation, and some rare metals and the like.
After all, the auction was for everyone, not just the high-end people. Most of the people in the hall had come for these inferior items. Therefore, even though the quality of the auction items had fallen, the atmosphere was getting more and more intense.
As for Bai Yu Zhe and the rest, they didn't take any action and just quietly watched. They didn't care about ordinary things at all. In fact, even the Black Iron Python Tendon Bow, a high-rank mystical weapon that Bai Yu Zhe had bought for Black Hawk, was only a temporary item in his eyes.
His vision far surpassed the level of the Desolate Domain transformation. Even in the Maze Chuan Continent, there weren't many things that could catch his eyes at that time.
"The next auction is going to be the main show again!" As a cart covered with a red cloth was pushed up to the stage, Su Mengya's clear voice rang out. She had a sweet smile on her face as she carefully placed the tray with the red cloth on the auction table and continued, "The name of this treasure is Thunderbeard Tree. Although it looks like it's just a piece of wood, it still contains a terrifying power."
Su Mengya lifted off the red cloth and took out a piece of wood. This piece of wood was only about a foot long, as thick as an adult's wrist, and was mottled on the surface. At one end of the wood, tiny roots spread out.
As Su Mengya picked up the piece of wood, she explained, "I believe many martial artists have heard of the Thunderbeard Tree. It should be a very high-end medicinal ingredient, and the effects of it alone is much stronger than a third-grade spirit pill. It can even greatly increase the speed of the body. However, its weakness was that it was unable to concoct pills. It is said that many years ago, there was a Tier 4 alchemist in Barren City who used this wood to concoct pills, but the result was an explosion. Even the top alchemist himself was severely injured. However, even if he couldn't concoct pills, the Thunderbeard Tree was still a top-notch material. Its value shouldn't be that much less than a Tier 4 spiritual pill! "Next, the auction for the Thunderbeard Tree will begin. It will be priced at 600 primeval stones, with each bid increasing by no less than 50 primeval stones."
Of course, there were many people who had heard of Thunderbeard Wood, and its value was indeed above Grade Three Spirit Pills! One must know that in the wasteland region, Grade Four Spirit Dans were considered top grade. Every time one appeared, it would result in a bloodbath. Although this Thunderbeard Tree couldn't compare to Tier 4 pills, it was already stronger than Tier 3 pills. Naturally, many people began to fight over it, and the price continued to rise.
There were even many idle warriors in the hall who made bids.
In private room three, Kong Huayun and Sun Junfei were both extremely interested in the wood and were bidding nonstop. Both of them were determined to win the bid.
However, in private room number nine, when Bai Yu Zhe saw the piece of wood, his eyes suddenly lit up. He stared at the piece of wood for a long time, as if he had confirmed something.
He was secretly laughing in his heart. After all, the wasteland region was a wasteland and no one would be able to recognize the real treasures there.
The value of this wood was much higher than what Su Mengya had said. What grade four spirit pill? Even if he gave it to Bai Yuzhe, he wouldn't trade it for it! Of course, that was because Bai Yu Zhe was a Grade Nine Alchemist. However, it also meant that the value of this pill was definitely comparable to that of a Grade Seven Spirit Dan.
What can't be used to refine pills? That's simply a joke. This was because the alchemy standards in the wasteland region were too low. A Tier 4 apothecary? How could he refine such a treasure! If that apothecary was only severely injured, he could already be considered lucky!
As for the sole absorption method, that was also because the method that the martial artists used was wrong. This caused a great deal of their strength to be lost. If it was in Bai Yu Zhe's hands, even if it was absorbed alone, its total value would be comparable to a Grade Seven Spirit Dan.
"It seems like the wasteland region still has some resources. Although there are a little less, I will still occasionally see some good stuff!" Bai Yu Zhe's impression of the wasteland region slightly changed.
Bai Yu Zhe had already considered the Thunderbeard Tree to be his private property. However, he had yet to bid. The competition outside was so intense, so he did not want to join in on the fun.
The more people bid in the beginning, the easier it would be to raise the price.
Within five minutes, the price of the Thunderbeard Tree had risen from six hundred to one thousand five hundred, and it still did not show any signs of stopping.
"One thousand seven hundred and fifty primeval stones." A gentle voice came from VIP booth 1, it was the auctioneer of the auction. This price was already very high. However, it did not seem unexpected for the Thunderbeard Tree. The people in VIP booth 1 would not easily give it up.
"One thousand eight hundred primeval stones." This voice did not come from any of the VIP rooms, but actually came from the main hall. The voice seemed slightly old. This voice was very shocking, because until now, only the VIP rooms still had people bidding.
He didn't expect that among the warriors that were free, there would actually be someone who had this kind of wealth …
Kong Huayun and Sun Junfei, who were in private room three, had a slightly ugly expression on their faces. They were sure that the price of the wood was higher than the Black Iron Python's tendon bow, and they were prepared for it.
However, they didn't expect that after the price of two thousand, there would still be four people competing. This undoubtedly increased their difficulty by quite a bit.
"Two thousand primeval stones!"
