Chapter 240: Fighting for the Fire Spirit Wood

Zuo Feng, who had had this experience before, went straight into the VIP room where he had stayed before after entering the auction this time. Except for the obvious shrinkage of people in the hall below, Zuo Feng could clearly see through the gauze curtains of each VIP room that there was no change in the people inside.

In the VIP room opposite, there was still the young master of the Guiling Sect, who looked a little cold and dressed in white. The young master was also looking at the room where Zuo Feng was at this time, but Zuo Feng also saw that the young master's eyes were slightly evasive when he looked at Yao Xun. It seems that in the past few days, the young master has been investigating him without giving up.

Zuo Feng estimated that he should not be able to find out the details of Yao Xun, but he should have understood the horror of Yao Xun to some extent, otherwise he would not show such an expression at this time. Zuo Feng was not very interested in the young master, and then he saw Kang Zhen and his family in a private room not far away.

Because of the discussion about Yao Tuozi that day, Zuo Feng's mood was a little complicated, and in the end he didn't even ask about the auction items that he was very interested in before. This auction attracted various forces. Zuo Feng was also very curious about what could attract so many people. However, Zuo Feng guessed that the items that many forces valued should only appear at the last auction.

Today, Li Ru was dressed in a simple and elegant manner, which made her look more elegant and refined with her beautiful face. As soon as Li Ru came to the auction table, many men below cheered loudly, and some even whistled loudly, and the atmosphere suddenly became heated.

Li Ru seemed very calm about this scene. She smiled and nodded to greet the people below, and then slowly said: "Welcome everyone to our Luancheng auction held every five years. Everyone should know that today is the second auction. I won't say any more extra polite words. I hope everyone can take the items they like."

After Li Ru finished speaking, she raised her snow-white jade hand and clapped it twice gently. Then a young man came up with a tray. The tray was covered with a handkerchief, and it could be vaguely seen that the items in it should be the size of a baby's fist.

Li Ru didn't say much, but when everyone's eyes were focused here, she casually opened the handkerchief. Everyone focused their eyes on the tray at this time, but after a while, many people showed disappointed expressions, obviously not interested in the items in the tray.

But Zuo Feng was one of the few people with shining eyes. The corners of his mouth trembled slightly and he said: "Fire Spirit Wood".

Yao Xun turned his head and looked at Zuo Feng in surprise. He naturally knew about the Fire Spirit Wood, but he didn't expect Zuo Feng to recognize the item in front of him at such a young age.

This Fire Spirit Wood is indeed an extremely rare item. If it weren't for the fact that Han Ning Bingwu, who was given to him by Huansheng, used this item as a bottle stopper, he might not care too much about such a dead wood. Of course, he didn't know too much about this Fire Spirit Wood. He just knew that this thing was only used when refining some high-level medicinal pills.

The medicinal value of this Fire Spirit Wood was not attractive to Zuo Feng, but this thing was a very favorite thing for the little beast Nifeng. Although the little beast dared not make any sound at this time, its body in Zuo Feng's arms trembled several times. Zuo Feng believed that if he encountered this Fire Spirit Wood in another occasion, Ni Feng would probably pounce on it directly.

Li Ru slowly spoke at this time: "I think most of the people sitting here don't know this thing, so let me introduce it to you. This thing is called Fire Spirit Wood. It is one of the very few medicinal materials that contain pure fire attribute spiritual power. It is an important main material for refining several high-level medicinal pills."

Li Ru paused here, and many people below immediately showed a look of sudden realization, and their eyes looking at the Fire Spirit Wood also became a little hotter. Seeing this situation, Li Ru also smiled and said: "Then let's start the auction of this thing next, and the reserve price is one thousand gold coins."

As soon as this price was spoken, there was a sound of gasps from the audience. This was only the second auction, and the reserve price of the first item was so high, which made those who were originally thinking about the Fire Spirit Wood give up their plans to make a move.

Zuo Feng nodded slightly. The preciousness of the Fire Spirit Wood was definitely higher than the thousand gold coins. He didn't understand why they would use such a low price as the reserve price.

While Zuo Feng was still in a daze, someone in the hall below said loudly: "One thousand five hundred gold coins"

As soon as the voice fell, it immediately attracted the attention of everyone, but most people were just a little confused, and no one bid with it for a while.

Zuo Feng thought about it and understood a little bit. Although the Fire Spirit Wood was precious, it was not very helpful for improving cultivation. After all, there were still a few people on the mainland who studied alchemy, and only alchemists could truly bring out the original value of the Fire Spirit Wood.

"One thousand six hundred gold coins."

While Zuo Feng was thinking, a quotation came from a private room not far away from Zuo Feng. The voice had just fallen. The person who quoted the price in the hall immediately said: "Two thousand"

Zuo Feng was stunned again, and then he paid attention to the person who bid below. The man was wearing a large black cloak. Judging from his voice, he should be a middle-aged man. Because of his large cloak, his true appearance could not be seen at all. However, from his figure, it could be seen that the man should be very thin, even thinner than Zuo Feng.

Others were obviously interested in the person who made such a bid, but everyone was similar to Zuo Feng and could not tell the identity of this person at all.

In the VIP room where the quotation was made before, after being stunned for a moment, a voice came out again: "Two thousand one hundred gold coins."

The man below shook his body, and finally said slowly: "Two thousand and five thousand."

This person's price was still very high, but Zuo Feng could tell from the subtle changes in his voice that the other party was hesitant. Obviously, the price was now almost the limit he could offer.

This time, the entire audience fell into silence. Li Ru seemed a little dissatisfied with the price, but after waiting for a while, she was ready to finalize it. But at this moment, a voice rang out, "Three thousand gold coins"

Everyone looked up towards the VIP room above, but most people couldn't see through the curtains outside the VIP room, but everyone still stared curiously. Yao Xun also looked surprised at this time, and looked at Zuo Feng with doubtful eyes, because the person who made the quotation before was Zuo Feng.

Zuo Feng's quotation was very unexpected, and the man in black robe below was also extremely surprised. His body shook violently. Zuo Feng felt that the other person had the urge to look up, but in the end he suppressed his curiosity. The man in the black cloak hesitated for a while, then said with some difficulty: "Three thousand one hundred gold coins."

At this time, not only Zuo Feng, but also other people around him saw that he probably didn't have much money anymore. It was just because he valued the fire spirit tree so much that he reluctantly continued bidding.

Zuo Feng wanted to speak, but a sigh came from a VIP room diagonally opposite, and then he said: "Three thousand five hundred gold coins."

Zuo Feng was stunned for a moment, and then he saw that the person who quoted the price was actually someone he knew, Kang Zhen, who had treated him to dinner the day before. At this time, Kang Zhen was looking at Zuo Feng, with a somewhat embarrassed wry smile on his face. Kang Zhen probably didn't know that Zuo Feng could see his expression at this time. This shows that Kang Zhen did not deliberately want to embarrass Zuo Feng.

The Kang family was originally a medicine refining family in the Xuanwu Empire, so it was reasonable for them to attach great importance to the fire spirit tree. Zuo Feng would not blame the other party for bidding against him. However, now that the Fire Spirit Wood has been purchased for 3,500 gold, Zuo Feng feels that the price is already higher than he expected.

Originally, he wanted to give up and sell Kang Zhen a favor, but the headwind in his arms obviously guessed Zuo Feng's thoughts, and his body immediately twisted a few times in his clothes. This time it was Zuo Feng's turn to feel helpless. Ni Feng had never prayed to him like this before, and Ni Feng had helped him several times before. After hesitating for a moment, Zuo Feng still said helplessly.

"Four...thousand gold coins"

As soon as this voice came out, exclamations immediately came from below and among the many distinguished guests. These people who expressed emotion are all people who understand the price of this fire spirit wood. The price of the fire spirit wood that is about the size of a baby's fist is considered high for 3,500 gold coins. The price of these 4,000 gold coins is a bit outrageous.

Everyone is a knowledgeable person. Although few people can actually use this fire spirit wood to refine medicine, we are not fools. It is still surprising to spend such a high price to buy this fire spirit wood.

After Zuo Feng finished speaking, he looked at the VIP room diagonally opposite. Kang Zhen knew that Zuo Feng wanted to get the fire wood when he heard the quotation. At this time, the price had exceeded his plan, so after hesitating for a while, he shook his head helplessly and gave up completely.

And the man in black robe who had made a high-profile bid before was completely silent at this time. At this moment, Zuo Feng noticed that the young master of the Puppet Spirit Sect opposite him was a little ready to make a move. After touching a unique ring on his hand, he opened his lips slightly and wanted to bid.

Zuo Feng frowned, his eyes flashing coldly. The young master of the Puppet Spirit Sect had not shown any interest in the Fire Spirit Wood before, but now he made an offer, obviously to disgust Zuo Feng.

As soon as his heart moved, Zuo Feng turned his head and said with a smile on his face: "I wonder if senior is also interested in this fire spirit tree?"

Yao Xun was stunned for a moment, then noticed the situation in the VIP room opposite, and then glanced at Zuo Feng with some confusion. When the young master of the Puppet Spirit Sect saw Zuo Feng talking to the old man, the sneer on his face immediately stopped, and then he snorted lowly and leaned back on the chair again.

"Little slippery man, lend me the old man to take pictures, but I have to pay for it." Yao Xun shook his head and said with a smile.
