Chapter 38. Determined to Win
"Let's go," he said.
Li Yang looked at Gu Ying, who had a strange expression on her face, and said indifferently,"
"Alright," she said.
Gu Ying quickly nodded and carefully put away the pills in her hand.
Gu Ying, who had already elevated Li Yang's status in her heart, did not dare to say anything disobedient. However, she had no intention of swallowing the pills herself. Instead, she silently decided to send the pills to the auction later and auction them on behalf of Li Yang.
After the auction ended, she would return the remaining spirit coins to Li Yang.
Gu Ying dared not ask for anything else from a senior like him.
She only hoped to leave a good impression on Li Yang and form a good relationship.
...
It was because of the auction that Tiger City became much livelier. Under Gu Ying's lead, Li Yang stayed in the city for now. When the time of the auction arrived, the two of them went to the auction house of Treasures Pavilion. After entering the auction house, Gu Ying apologized to Li Yang and went to the side to deliver the pills.
Just as Gu Ying had expected.
She had just taken out the nine elephant strength pill when the hand of the appraiser of the pavilion of treasures trembled and pulled out a small tuft of his beard.
After shakily completing the appraisal, the appraiser fulfilled some wishes.
He sat there with a red face and couldn't help but be happy.
At this time, Gu Ying took out the flood dragon strength pill unhurriedly.
The appraiser's eyes almost popped out of their sockets when he saw the pill before him.
After that, the chief appraiser and the other appraisers who had received the news put down their work and ran over in unison to look at the flood dragon strength pill.
The commotion backstage also attracted the attention of other guests.
After knowing that someone was going to auction a flood dragon strength pill, the entire auction house was in an uproar.
Many customers who had just entered immediately ran out in a hurry and began to contact people to collect spirit coins for themselves! Even several people from the VIP rooms had come out.
At this moment, Gu Ying couldn't hold back her smile as she returned to the auction house.
After confirming her identity with the auction house's attendant.
Gu Ying asked the servant to leave and led Li Yang to the VIP room.
Just as the two of them pushed open the door and entered.
A few people dressed in the uniform of the Tiger Roar Sect, disciples also walked over from the door of another VIP room.
"Senior brother, someone just sent a flood dragon strength pill."
"Tsk, I didn't expect such an item to be sold in this auction."
"That's right. Even in our sect, only the elder and the few senior brothers are qualified to eat a flood dragon strength pill. "
The few people walking at the back were talking at the same time.
"The flood dragon strength pill is precious, but don't forget the purpose of our visit."
"This time, even if I must pay a huge price, I must get that thousand-year-old ginseng!"
The person in the lead stopped them from chatting. After glancing at Li Yang's room, he opened the door and entered.
In the private room.
After a short while, the auction officially began.
Li Yang sat in a private room and looked at the auction stage below through the exquisitely carved crystal curtain before him.
The auctioneer of the pavilion of treasures was also very professional.
After a simple warm-up, the items for this auction were immediately brought up to the stage under the expectant eyes of the crowd.
"..."
"Vengeful tiger saber art! A black-grade middle-level cultivation technique. When mastered, one can condense the power of the tiger's killing intent and intimidate one's mind! The starting price is 3000 spirit coins!"
"..."
"Dragon tiger treasure pill! I don't think I need to go into detail about this pill. The family's younger generation needs to nourish their Qi and blood, so we can't miss it. There are three dragon tiger pills in this auction, and the starting price is 1000 spirit coins!"
"..."
It had to be said that the auction that Treasures Pavilion had prepared for a long time was indeed extraordinary.
The cultivation techniques and magic tools that appeared were all very precious high-grade items. No matter which item appeared, it would immediately cause a burst of fighting.
Just by looking at the auctioneer's grinning face, Li Yang could clearly understand how much the price of these items had been raised.
"Everyone!"
At this moment, a sword-shaped treasure was won. The auctioneer gently knocked on the small hammer, and after the crowd quieted down, the auctioneer gave a signal, and a beautiful maid walked up to the stage with a red silk-covered plate.
"The next item is a thousand-year-old ginseng!"
"Our Treasures Pavilion searched the entire Lost Forest and only found this one. It's in perfect condition, and its medicinal strength hasn't been lost! The starting price is 3000 spirit coins! Every bid must be at least 1000 spirit coins!"
"I'll pay 5000!"
Before he could finish his sentence, a pale-faced man sitting on the first floor shouted impatiently.
"6000!"
The others were not to be outdone and spoke up one after another.
"8000!"
"I'll pay ten thousand!"
"..."
"Fifteen thousand!"
When the price reached 15000 spirit coins, the people's enthusiasm on the first floor finally stopped.
The people sitting in the VIP room on the second floor began to bid unhurriedly.
"Twenty thousand."
A rough male voice sounded in the room next to Li Yang's.
'I'm afraid the ginseng in the Lost Forest will be extinct soon. I might have to fight for this one.'
"I bid twenty-five thousand!"
A woman's voice was heard from another box.
"Thirty thousand!"
Gu Ying stood up and shouted.
"Forty thousand!"
The box where the Tiger Roar Sect disciples were also shouted.
Seeing that Li Yang didn't even want to lift his eyelids, Gu Ying understood what Li Yang meant. "Fifty thousand!"
"Seventy thousand!"
The rough male voice almost shouted out through gritted teeth.
"Eighty thousand."
The people of the Tiger Roar Sect also spoke impatiently.
"A hundred thousand!"
As soon as Gu Ying's words fell, the lively auction hall instantly cooled down. Then, the whole place was in an uproar!
"Which family's young master is in that private room? How could he be so generous? One hundred thousand spirit coins for 1000-year-old ginseng? Isn't that a little too expensive?"
"Expensive? It was already expensive when it was above 50000, but did you see them blink? One hundred thousand spirit coins are our lives, but it's just a simple sentence to others!"
"I'm so envious!"
Just as everyone was discussing animatedly, a voice came from the box of the Tiger Roar Sect disciples again. "One hundred and ten thousand!"
"One hundred and twenty thousand."
Gu Ying didn't even need to think. She just followed the other party's bid and started shouting.
At this point.
Even the people in the other boxes stopped talking. Everyone's eyes were focused on the box where the Tiger Roar Sect disciple and Li Yang were as if they wanted to see who would be the first to give up.
"One hundred and thirty thousand!"
He didn't disappoint everyone.
Even though there was already a trace of heartache in his tone, the Tiger Roar Sect disciple, who had lost his composure, still gritted his teeth and shouted an astronomical figure.
