Chapter 290 Pagoda Wood
"Kunshan Ten Thousand Years Pagoda Wood, one inch long, weighing seven pounds and six ounces, with distinct pagoda marks all over. It can repair damaged foundations and restore undamaged cultivation. Other natural materials and treasures are needed to aid the Spiritual Transformation stage and above. The starting bid is one hundred high-grade spirit stones. Fellow Daoists, if you're interested, please place your bid."
As soon as the words fell, they immediately attracted discussions from the audience.
The Kunshan Ten Thousand Years Pagoda Wood is a rare and precious thing that can only be found by chance, but it is too useless. Generally speaking, a cultivator's cultivation will only regress after being seriously injured and falling in realm. If they do not fall in realm, there is almost no regression in cultivation, and there are very few opportunities to use the Pagoda Wood.
In addition, if a cultivator above the Spirit Transformation stage is seriously injured, he will definitely have better elixirs and treasures and will not be able to use it. As for cultivators below the Spirit Transformation stage, the price is probably only affordable by aristocratic families or large sects. They can just put it in the warehouse for the time being.
No wonder he said those words before revealing this treasure.
But it’s not that no one has bid for this thousand-year-old pagoda wood. Although it is useless, it is really a rare treasure. When you really need it, you may not be lucky enough to find it.
"Is this what you want?" Qing Mu saw Jiang Liqian preparing to make an offer and asked curiously, "Are you injured?"
Jiang Liqian was silent.
Then he shook his head.
Although Qing Mu was curious about why Jiang Liqian came all the way to Dongjun, she did not ask too much.
The price of pagoda wood has now reached three hundred high-grade spirit stones. This price is a bit high, but there are still people who want to give it a try.
At this moment, the most luxurious and valuable box on the top floor offered a price - ten top-grade spirit stones.
The whole house was silent.
Ten top-grade spirit stones are equivalent to one thousand high-grade spirit stones.
Not to mention that top-grade spirit stones are not something that anyone can come up with. The key point is that one thousand top-grade spirit stones can only buy a small piece of pagoda wood, which is still very useless. Some people are not short of spirit stones, but they are not fools either.
Besides, there are so many items to be auctioned later, so there is no need to waste spirit stones here.
After the bid of ten top-grade spirit stones was made, no one followed up with a bid. Everyone tacitly agreed on the final destination of the pagoda wood. When the beautiful fox sister on the stage saw that the pagoda wood was sold at such a high price, the smile on her face became a little more charming. She symbolically asked if anyone else wanted to bid, and then she was about to make a final decision.
At this moment, a small, inconspicuous private room on the second floor was priced at twenty top-grade spirit stones.
There was another scene inside the venue. Even the "battle-hardened" Sister Meihu looked towards the box where the bid was made in surprise.
The head of Jinqiao Pavilion frowned behind the stage and called the servants to inquire about the situation. Did they arrange the distinguished guest into the small box on the second floor by mistake?
The attendants were also confused. They arranged the guests according to the seats indicated in the entrance notices, so it was impossible for the distinguished guest to be placed in the wrong small box.
The head also found it unlikely. After thinking about it, he thought that perhaps those monks did not want to reveal their identities, so they only brought the most ordinary admission letter.
only……
He looked towards the luxurious box on the rooftop.
If he remembered correctly, that should be the room reserved for the Young Pavilion Master. The Young Pavilion Master did not come today, and it seemed that the one who came was the Young Pavilion Master's sister.
In the box——
Xiao He stamped her feet angrily. "Who is so blind? The price is so high, yet he still wants to compete with Miss. Miss, just wait. I'll have the manager kick that person out right now!"
"Xiao He, be careful with your words." The reason why Jinqiao Pavilion has been able to grow to such a large scale since its establishment is naturally because of the rules it set. Even her brother, the young master of Jinqiao Pavilion, cannot make exceptions. She is confident that she can get this pagoda wood, but it only requires a few more spirit stones. Their Jiang family is not short of these, and it is better than her making a big mistake and being caught by the other party before her "second sister" comes back.
Then she would be in a passive position.
"Tell them I'm offering fifty top-grade spirit stones."
Xiao He felt bad about the extra spirit stones. These were all the young master's things, and they were being given away for free. But no matter how unwilling she was, she had to do what the young lady wanted.
Soon, the sound of their box bidding fifty top-grade spirit stones echoed in the venue.
Sister Meihu on the stage didn't expect that a small piece of pagoda wood could be auctioned at such a high price. She was surprised. If it were an ordinary one, someone would want it very much and even be determined to get it if he could offer so many spirit stones higher than the value of the auction item itself. She would definitely use all her tricks to raise the price again and try to make a lot of money for herself and her brothers and sisters in the pavilion.
But she had a lot of experience and naturally knew that the people in the box were the owners of Jinqiao Pavilion. She didn't want to offend them for a small profit and end up losing her job.
So she quickly went through the process and was about to announce the final winner of the pagoda wood.
But before she could finish her words, the inconspicuous little box called out the price before her.
"Seventy top-grade spirit stones."
Her voice trembled, and she glanced at the person in charge backstage. Seeing him nod, she calmed down and silently swallowed the words in her mouth.
"Who's that guy in that box? Is he crazy? Seventy top-grade spirit stones for such a worthless thing?" Xiao He was shocked and angry when she heard the bidding. She hurriedly persuaded her young lady, "Miss, that guy might be the seller's agent, deliberately driving up the price. The pagoda wood isn't something particularly precious. Let's not follow the bidding. Let him pay the spirit stones. If he can't afford it, don't blame us at Jinqiao Pavilion for being rude!"
"Besides, Xiao He knows that the young lady is considering the sisterly relationship and is preparing a generous gift for the second young lady, but there is really no need to spend such a worthless amount of money. When the time comes, just buy her a decent gift. Why bother with all this troublesome thought?"
Jiang Jiaoer's mood now is not like Xiaohe's. On the contrary, she is very happy.
Although the development of the matter was unexpected, the higher the price was, the more it reflected her intentions, didn't it?
It’s just that her second sister couldn’t make good use of this “thought”.
The reason why she chose the pagoda wood at first sight was because of its "advantages".
Now, besides being useless, it also carries the reputation of being “not worth the price”, which is great!
Second sister, right?
If you want to come back and steal her things, don't blame her for giving her a warning first and letting her know how powerful you are!
"Make your bid. I'll offer three hundred top-grade spirit stones!"
Xiao He's eyes widened as she exclaimed, "Miss!"
But there was no room for regret after making the bid, and a cry of "three hundred top-grade spirit stones" echoed throughout the Jinqiao Pavilion.
So far, all the items sold at the auction combined only amount to this number. Although the auction is only one-third complete and the truly valuable items have not yet been brought out, this bid is still a bit too exaggerated.
Who is this person who is so rich?
