Chapter 20 The thief Yiming
After the auction of thirty Explosive Flame Beads, many people thought that today's auction was over. Unexpectedly, Shopkeeper Qin actually spoke again, saying that there was still one final treasure that had not yet been auctioned.
For a moment, everyone felt extremely excited.
The auction of the Explosive Flame Pearl has opened their eyes. The next treasure was deliberately placed at the end, proving that its value is higher than that of the Explosive Flame Pearl!
In the VIP room, Chu Tian looked at Shopkeeper Qin on the silver high platform with interest. He was also very curious about what the last treasure was.
Under the gaze of thousands of pairs of eyes, Shopkeeper Qin smiled mysteriously and said calmly: "The last treasure is not a physical object, but an opportunity, an opportunity that is rare in decades!"
"a chance?"
"This shopkeeper Qin is so talkative, why can't he just say it out loud, what is the finale treasure?"
"Shopkeeper Qin, don't play riddles. It's very exciting. We can't wait!"
There were shouts one after another, urging Shopkeeper Qin to quickly announce the last treasure.
"Okay! Since you are so eager, I will announce the last treasure of this auction!" Shopkeeper Qin said with a smile, and then his eyes became sharp and quickly swept across the audience, "But before announcing it, I would like to test you all, have any of you heard of Big Thief Yiming?"
"Big Thief Yiming? Could Shopkeeper Qin be talking about the big thief Hu Yiming who was known as the number one casual cultivator in Qianyang County twenty or thirty years ago and stole all over Wuyan Kingdom?"
Chu Changqing spoke suspiciously.
"Haha, Mr. Hou really has a good memory. This is the person I want to talk about!"
Shopkeeper Qin sighed in admiration.
After receiving the confirmation from Shopkeeper Qin, Chu Changqing stood up and said eagerly: "Could it be that the treasure of the thief Yiming has been found?"
At this moment, not only Chu Changqing, but also several other Ling Yun realm powerhouses in the VIP room suddenly stood up, looking at Shopkeeper Qin on the silver high platform with burning eyes.
The young people present may not know Da Dao Yi Ming, but as people who have experienced it, they know very well how loud the words Da Dao Yi Ming were twenty or thirty years ago.
The number one rogue cultivator in Qianyang County has stolen all over the Wuyan Kingdom, and no one can capture him.
Twenty years ago, in the last operation, it is said that this person secretly sneaked into the palace of Wuyan Kingdom and stole a valuable royal treasure. However, he was discovered by the royal masters. After being seriously injured, he still escaped and his whereabouts are still unknown.
There are rumors that after the thief Yiming was seriously injured, he quietly hid and recuperated secretly, waiting for a comeback.
There are also rumors that in the last operation, although the robber Yiming escaped with his life, he died due to excessive injuries.
In comparison, most people believe the latter statement more.
If the thief Yiming was really alive at the time and quietly hid to recuperate from his injuries, then why is it that twenty years have passed and the other party has never been seen in the world.
When the thief Yiming was alive, he once told people privately that all the treasures he stole were hidden in a treasure. No one except him knew where the treasure was.
Over the past twenty years, countless people have spent a lot of energy looking for the treasure of the thief Yiming, but unfortunately they have found nothing.
Gradually, the number of people looking for treasures decreased.
However, there are still a considerable number of people who have not given up and are still looking around secretly.
On the silver high platform, Shopkeeper Qin nodded and said with a proud smile: "Yes, after our unremitting search in Luoshui Pavilion over the years, we finally found the treasure of the legendary thief Yiming not long ago!"
boom!
The entire auction house with thousands of people was filled with excitement.
Many people suddenly came to their senses. It seemed that Luoshui Pavilion was preparing to auction off the opportunity to enter the treasure of the great thief Yiming. No wonder it was put up for auction at the end.
Compared with the treasure of the thief Yiming, dozens of explosive flame beads are nothing at all!
However, many people frowned secretly. Since Luoshui Pavilion knew the location of the treasure, why didn't they explore it independently and instead announced it? This is a bit unreasonable.
"Shopkeeper Qin, I don't know how many people secretly covet the treasure of the thief Yiming. After your Majesty found out, you took the initiative to make it public. I admire you, but this matter is a bit unreasonable. Could it be that your Majesty has any other plans?"
A strong man in the casual cultivation realm asked.
Chu Tian also nodded secretly, which he also suspected.
Shopkeeper Qin smiled bitterly and said: "Haha, the treasure of the big thief Yiming is too hot to touch. Although we are powerful, we don't want to provoke public anger, so we decided to auction five places publicly, so that everyone will have the opportunity to hunt for the treasure!"
Many people curled their lips in disdain when they heard this sentence. They didn't want to provoke public anger, but they wanted to share some of the risks of treasure hunting.
It is conceivable that although Luoshui Pavilion gave up five places, Luoshui Pavilion must have the dominant position in the entire treasure hunting operation. When the treasures are distributed, Luoshui Pavilion will naturally have the advantage.
"However, before starting the auction, this pavilion needs to declare in advance that the treasure of the thief Yiming is covered by an extremely powerful formation. Only body-refining realm warriors can enter it, and the number of people who can enter is quite limited!"
Shopkeeper Qin said loudly.
"What! Only body-refining realm warriors can enter?"
"Since the treasure is covered by a formation, why don't we forcefully break the formation so that us Spiritual Yun Realm warriors can enter it!"
"That's right! The thief Yiming was once regarded as the number one casual cultivator in Qianyang County. His cultivation has reached the peak of the Spiritual Yun Realm. It is too dangerous for a Body Refining Realm warrior to enter."
Several Ling Yun realm powerhouses in the VIP room spoke one after another.
Shopkeeper Qin shook his head and smiled bitterly: "The experts in this pavilion have tried every means, but they can't break the formation covering the treasure. Once the formation is broken by force, the treasure will inevitably collapse completely and fall into the deepest part of the ground."
After listening to Shopkeeper Qin's explanation, several spiritual masters sighed helplessly and stopped talking.
Although they cannot enter the treasure personally, they can send someone they trust to enter it.
Of course, the prerequisite is that they must win a place to enter the treasure!
In the VIP room, Chu Tian leaned on the chair, clenched his fists slightly, and a gleam flashed in his eyes.
A moment ago, he got the evil spirit of the water spirit. Among the five evil spirits, only the evil spirit of the earth spirit and the evil spirit of the wood spirit were missing. The thief Yiming, as the former number one casual cultivator in Qianyang County, had stolen all over the country. Among the treasures might be There are these two evil spirits.
Therefore, Chutian must grab a spot!
"Okay, let's start the auction for the first place now. The starting price is one hundred yuan for medium-grade spiritual stones. Each increase in price must not be less than ten yuan!"
After a few breaths, shopkeeper Qin said loudly.
"Three hundred pieces of middle-grade spiritual stones!"
As soon as he finished speaking, an extremely crazy quotation shocked everyone's minds to a blank.
"Whose guy is his grandma? He must be crazy. He actually added two hundred middle-grade spiritual stones!"
"The reserve price tripled in one breath. It's unprecedented. It's really unprecedented!"
"This guy is so crazy, I'm afraid he also wants to scare the rest of the people so that they don't dare to continue to quote casually."
Almost everyone's eyes were looking in the direction where the quotation came from. When they found out that it was the mysterious figure, they all showed a look of understanding.
This mysterious figure is not only rich and powerful, but also often plays cards unreasonably. Among all the people present, this guy is probably the only one who would make such an offer.
VIP room.
Chu Tian's face was tense, his breathing was heavy, and he stared straight ahead.
This time, he added two hundred middle-grade spiritual stones in one breath. It was indeed the first time in history. Even he himself felt that the blood in his body was flowing faster and his heart was beating wildly.
This is a big gamble!
Chutian is betting on the actual value of each quota!
If he successfully wins the first quota, and the remaining four quotas are all sold for more than 300 mid-grade spiritual stones, then these 300 mid-grade spiritual stones will not be in vain.
On the contrary, Chu Tian is likely to become a victim like Su Shilun!
"This boy's moves are really extraordinary. He has a bit of the style I had back then."
Inside the Immortal Killing Sword, Ba Lao stroked his beard and smiled lightly.
After Chutian made a crazy quotation, the scene was completely silent. Everyone was shocked by Chutian's quotation.
"Three hundred pieces of medium-grade spiritual stones. Does anyone else want to make an offer?"
Shopkeeper Qin was also surprised by Chu Tian's crazy quotation and shouted at the top of his lungs.
Unfortunately, after he shouted several times, there was still no sound.
In the end, shopkeeper Qin could only announce that the first spot belonged to Chu Tian.
After successfully getting the first place, Chu Tian breathed a sigh of relief, glanced at the other VIP rooms, and said secretly: "Whether I lose money or make a profit, it depends on you next time."
Immediately afterwards, the auction for the second place began.
"One hundred and twenty dollars!"
"One hundred and thirty dollars!"
"One hundred and fifty dollars!"
Voices came out one after another, and the quotations were rising rapidly.
Chu Tian raised his ears and listened carefully, his palms clenched slightly, and a trace of sweat oozed from his palms.
Not long after, the offer price had risen to two hundred yuan of mid-grade spiritual stones.
At this moment, an extremely abrupt quotation suddenly came out: "Three hundred yuan of medium-grade spiritual stones!"
Everyone in the audience was suddenly startled, and immediately sighed, another madman came and directly increased the price by 100 yuan, although it was not as crazy as the first one.
Chu Tian felt a little surprised.
Because the person who suddenly increased the price by 100 yuan at this moment was actually Su Shilun, who suffered a big loss because of him not long ago!
Not long ago, Su Shilun spent 300 yuan of medium-grade spiritual stones to buy ten Explosive Flame Beads, and now he is offering another 300 yuan of medium-grade spiritual stones to buy a treasure hunting spot. He is worthy of being the second largest family in Qianyang County!
After Su Shilun added up to three hundred yuan in one breath, the scene fell into an eerie silence.
Several other people in the VIP room had expressions of contemplation on their faces at this time, seriously considering whether they should continue to follow.
One breath!
Two breaths!
Three breaths!
…
In the blink of an eye, more than ten breaths passed, and the scene was still quiet.
Shopkeeper Qin could only announce that the second spot belongs to Su Shilun.
At this time, Chu Tian picked up the spirit tea, leaned back, crossed his legs, and slowly took a sip, with a trace of relaxation at the corner of his mouth.
