Chapter 45 You must have made money, but I definitely didn’t lose money

"One million and five hundred thousand."

Lu Tao was too lazy to raise the price bit by bit, and directly raised the price by five hundred thousand.

He was determined to get the spiritual liquid.

With his current wealth, a few million taels of silver was nothing at all.

He also understood why those people who auctioned things on TV before raised the price so casually, as if money was not money. The reason is that when money reaches a certain level, it is just a number.

Lu Tao's bid made the entire auction house suddenly quiet, but after only a few breaths, an old man continued to raise the price, "One million and five hundred thousand taels."

"Two million taels."

The old man continued to raise the price, "Two million and five hundred thousand taels."

"Two million six hundred thousand."

Lu Tao thought two hundred and fifty was not nice, so he directly raised the price by one hundred thousand.

"Two million six hundred and fifty thousand taels."

When Lu Tao was about to raise the price, he heard the old man say in a semi-threatening tone: "Young friend, can you give this spiritual liquid to me, Master Xue Luo."

Before Lu Tao spoke, there were gasps in the auction hall.

"Fuck, it turned out to be this devil."

"I heard that Master Xue Luo slaughtered a sect and snatched a spiritual herb. It seems to be true."

"Yes, I heard that the spiritual herb can increase the chance of promotion to the innate realm by 20%."

"It seems that he is determined to get this spiritual liquid."

...

Although these discussions were small, they could be heard by those in the refining organ realm.

Master Xue Luo did not stop them. It was obvious that he intended to let Lu Tao know who he was, hoping that Lu Tao would give up and not compete with him for the spiritual liquid.

Even.

Even the woman who was massaging Lu Tao behind him couldn't help but tremble when she heard the name of Master Xue Luo, then she gritted her teeth and whispered in Lu Tao's ear: "Young Master, you should give up, he... is not easy to mess with."

Lu Tao patted the woman's jade hand and continued to bid: "Three million taels."

"Hiss... Whose young master is this? He is so brave."

"What a dare! He is looking for death. He dares to provoke Master Xue Luo."

"I'm sure that the moment he walks out of Xuanguang Auction House is the moment he dies."

...

As soon as Lu Tao's offer came out, it immediately caused a commotion among the crowd.

They obviously didn't expect that someone would not give face to Master Xue Luo. He is a very ruthless person, and his cultivation has reached the perfection of refining the internal organs.

This young man, isn't he afraid of death?

"From the sound, this young man looks a bit like Lu Tao? The one who just destroyed the Han family." Suddenly someone recognized Lu Tao.

As soon as this was said, everyone suddenly realized.

Not long ago, a young man killed sixteen strong men of the Han family, and then the Han family was wiped out by others.

Everything in the clan was robbed.

"It turned out to be him. It seems that he became arrogant after destroying the Han family."

"That's a pity. Although he can kill those in the late stage of refining the internal organs, the perfect refining of the internal organs is another level."

"Especially, Master Xue Luo's weapon is much better than Han Chengyun's."

"This young man is in danger."

...

Instantly, everyone began to feel sorry for Lu Tao.

"Hehe, you are so brave. I will give this spiritual liquid to you. You must keep it well and don't spill it."

In a single room, Master Xue Luo, with a face full of flesh, half-closed his eyes, slightly grinned, revealing a cruel smile, glanced at Lu Tao's room coldly, and then stopped bidding.

He decided to accept Lu Tao's gift.

That's right, in his mind, what Lu Tao bid for was already in his pocket.

Lu Tao listened to the murderous intent in Master Xue Luo's voice, turned his head and silently glanced at Master Xue Luo with his heavenly eyes. Seeing the cruel look on his face, he smiled faintly and didn't care.

"Three million taels for the first time, is there anyone else bidding?"

"Three million taels for the second time, is there anyone else bidding?"

"Three million taels for the third time, congratulations to No. 77 for bidding for a bottle of spiritual liquid."

As the auctioneer's hammer fell, the spiritual liquid was auctioned off by Lu Tao for three million taels, and was soon delivered to the room by a special person.

Lu Tao put away the spiritual liquid and was completely relieved.

Next, the auction continued.

The auction of each item gave Lu Tao a lot of knowledge.

Weapons, armor, elixirs, spiritual herbs, elixir recipes, exercises... and so on.

There were too many, and each one started at at least 100,000.

During the period, Lu Tao bid for several bottles of elixirs used for practicing in the refining realm, as well as... all exercises.

This made a group of people wail and marvel at Lu Tao's strong financial resources.

At the same time, many people were very dissatisfied, but they really couldn't bid against Lu Tao, so they had to give up helplessly.

Among them, there was a martial arts book that Lu Tao was very interested in. The name of the martial arts book was "Flying God Feather".

The name was very childish, but the name was as good as it was. This was a martial arts book that could allow people who were not in the innate realm to fly after practicing.

Practicing this martial arts book allowed warriors to use the power of blood, bone strength or the power of the five elements to create a pair of real wings behind their backs, and fly freely.

However, the grade of this martial arts book was not low, reaching the upper grade of the Xuan level.

If the comprehension was not high, the consumption would be relatively large when used, so for most people, it was a bit useless.

But for Lu Tao, this problem did not exist.

...

This auction lasted for several hours. Many people saw Lu Tao bidding frantically and thought that this auction would be the time when Lu Tao would dominate the scene. As a result, Lu Tao stopped bidding for other things except continuing to bid for the martial arts book.

This made a group of people breathe a sigh of relief.

Soon, the monthly auction finally came to an end, and the last few items began to be auctioned.

All of these items had a starting price of more than five million.

For example, weapons of the sixth-grade upper grade, close to the fifth-grade spiritual weapon, and elixirs that can increase the chance of upgrading to the innate by 30% after the internal organs are fully refined, and the map of a certain strong man's cave... and so on.

Lu Tao was not interested in these.

However, when a body-refining technique of the lower grade of the local grade appeared, Lu Tao's eyes suddenly lit up.

"What I have in my hand is a body-refining technique of the lower grade of the local grade, which can temper the skin, blood, bones, and internal organs at the same time. Even after the cultivation reaches the innate realm, it can still continue to temper the body. The starting price is 20 million taels, and each bid must not be less than 1 million taels. Of course, if the silver is not enough, you can also bid with Yuanshi, or exchange items."

As the auction began, many rooms began to bid.

"Twenty-one million."

"Twenty-two million."

"Twenty-five million."

...

"Has this world experienced inflation? For a county-level city, is this too much silver?"

Lu Tao couldn't help but complain in his heart.

He felt that the Daqian Dynasty must have printed too many silver notes, otherwise there would be no reason for a county-level city to have so many millionaires. This is not RMB, but silver.

Converted to China, it is tens of billions.

After complaining, Lu Tao also started bidding, "Thirty million."

As soon as Lu Tao said this, the entire auction house fell silent.

Everyone had different expressions.

Every time Lu Tao bid before, without exception, he bought it in the end, and no one could compete with him.

Now, Lu Tao, who has been silent for so long, bids again. There is no doubt that Lu Tao is determined to get this skill.

But someone didn't believe it. After a little silence, he still made a bid, "31 million."

"35 million."

When he heard Lu Tao raise the price by 4 million, this person seemed to know Lu Tao's determination. He could only sigh helplessly and decisively gave up the bid.

"35 million, is there anyone bidding?"

The auctioneer frowned and looked a little unhappy.

Originally, Lu Tao auctioned so many things at a high price, which made their auction house earn a lot of money. The auctioneer was very happy and even grateful to Lu Tao for being a sucker.

As a result, no one bid for the current earth-level skills after Lu Tao made the bid.

You know, according to the previous auction market, if the price is slowly increased, the earth-level low-grade skills can be auctioned for at least 70 million, but now it is only 35 million.

It's half less.

The extra money Lu Tao bid before was not enough to make up for this big hole.

The auctioneer's heart began to bleed.

He looked up at the rooms on the second and third floors and kept asking questions, hoping that someone would bid.

Unfortunately, after asking for ten breaths, no one bid.

"35 million for the first time, is there anyone bidding? This is a ground-level body-refining technique, is there anyone interested?"

Ten breaths later.

"35 million for the second time, is there anyone who wants to bid for a ground-level technique?"

Silence.

No one bid at all.

In addition to not wanting to take risks, they also did not want to offend Lu Tao, and did not want the auction house to make a lot of money.

Seeing this, the auction house could not help but want to take the risk of letting their own people bid.

But if they did so, once they were discovered, the auction house's business would be completely over.

Finally.

The auctioneer waited for thirty breaths, and after finding that there was really no one bidding, he had no choice but to drop the hammer, "35 million for the third time, congratulations to No. 77 for bidding for a ground-level lower-grade body-refining technique."

He said congratulations, but the smile on his face was very far-fetched.

This technique was a huge loss after the auction.

"Thank you."

Lu Tao felt it was worth it to buy a ground-level lower-grade technique for 35 million.

This time, Lu Tao definitely made money from the auction, but he definitely didn't lose money.

After completing the transaction of the skills in the room, Lu Tao stood up and prepared to leave.

Although there were still two items that had not been auctioned, Lu Tao was not interested in them, so there was no need to stay.

"Sir, take care."

Seeing that Lu Tao didn't give a tip, the woman was disappointed.

I didn't expect that such a handsome and wealthy boy would not even give her a tip. He was really stingy...

Hearing the woman's voice, Lu Tao realized that he had never had the habit of tipping, so he naturally didn't think of this. After realizing it, Lu Tao casually took out a silver note and put it in the woman's hand, "Thank you for the massage, it's very comfortable."

Looking at the silver note of 100,000 taels in her hand, the woman's face showed astonishment, followed by a deep surprise, and she felt dizzy.

The word "stingy" didn't even have time to appear in her mind, and the word "generous" fell from the sky and kicked it to pieces.

It was really too generous.

This was the first time she had received a tip of 100,000 taels in her long service career. In the past, the most she had ever received was 20,000 taels.

The last time someone at Xuanguang Auction House received a tip of 100,000 taels was three years ago.

The woman looked at Lu Tao's back as he left gracefully, and kept saying, "Thank you, sir, thank you, sir."

Lu Tao left the room with his eyes and saw that Master Xue Luo had also left the room. He smiled.
