Chapter 249 Becoming a laughing stock

Yaoxun's body straightened slightly, and at the same time, two rays of light flashed across his eyes, but it only took an instant for Yaoxun to return to his original lazy appearance.

The two of them were less than three feet apart. Zuo Feng could clearly see the changes in Yao Xun. After a slight hesitation, Zuo Feng pretended to be chatting casually and said, "Yao Lao has something to do with this black stone." What do you think?"

Yao Xun still looked lazy, but his eyes were always fixed on the black stone. After hearing Zuo Feng's words, he just thought for a moment and said: "Based on my experience, this is not any ore. It’s not some kind of rare medicinal material.”

If others listened to Yao Xun's words, they might sneer at him, because Li Ru had already said the same thing during his introduction. However, Zuo Feng had a different view. After listening to Yao Xun's words, he couldn't help but look at the black stone again.

Yaoxun was so far away that most people couldn't see clearly what was on the auction stage, but Yaoxun already had a preliminary understanding of the black stone. Zuo Feng was convinced of Yao Lao's opinion, because he knew that Yao Xun must have used his mind to explore a strange black stone in that brief moment, which was much more powerful than any identification method.

But this black substance is neither any ore nor any medicinal material, so this thing also shows its value invisibly.

At this moment, Li Ru on the auction stage slowly said: "I think you are all experts who often travel on the mainland, and you should understand that the more unclear something is, the more hidden it may be. There are endless treasures in it. If you want to try the benefits that no one has experienced before, you have to use some means to do this. "

These words Li Ru said were sonorous and powerful, as if a senior expert was giving everyone a chance. Most people sneered at this statement. They were all people who often wandered outside. This method of buying fake medicines in the world still could not convince most people. But there were still a few people who showed eager expressions, obviously moved by Li Ru's words.

Zuo Feng seemed to have never heard Li Ru's words. He could clearly see the subtle changes in Li Ru's expression and voice. Although Li Ru's voice was sonorous and powerful when he introduced it just now, when he said the word "treasure", his voice still trembled slightly. Moreover, Li Ru secretly glanced at the black stone during the introduction, but quickly turned away, as if she didn't even want to take another look.

Obviously Liru herself has little confidence in these words, but as a professional auctioneer, she will still try her best to auction the items and make the items sell for the highest value.

After finishing these words, Li Ru showed a trace of hesitation, and after a long while she said: "This unknown black object, the auction base price is one thousand gold coins, every time..."

"Shhh"

Before Li Ru could finish her words, she was interrupted by boos from below, and many people made some indecent gestures. Some people who were more daring said directly: "This year's Luancheng auction is too substandard. They have the nerve to start bidding for something like this at a thousand gold coins. This is simply a money trap."

"Yes, yes, this broken stone only costs a hundred gold coins at most. If it is of no use, can you guarantee that the auction money will be refunded to us?"

"Quiet"

Just as everyone was talking, a cold voice suddenly sounded. It was hard to figure out where the sound came from. It seemed to be echoing from the four walls of the auction venue, but if you listened carefully, it seemed like the person speaking was standing right next to your ears.

The moment this sound sounded, everyone in the hall below and all the VIP rooms immediately fell silent. At the same time, someone said: "It's the ghost elder from Luancheng. I didn't expect that he would be in charge of the third auction."

The voice was not loud, as if he was afraid of angering the "ghost elder" who had just been born. Zuo Feng also felt that the sound was very strange, but he noticed that Yao Xun's eyes turned to look outside, and Zuo Feng also followed Yao Xun's gaze.

I saw a figure looming in the shadow behind the auction table. Zuo Feng's eyes gathered his spiritual power slightly, and the figure in the shadow immediately became clear. This is an old man with a somewhat ferocious face. His appearance is ferocious not because of his appearance, but because the old man has many incomprehensible patterns carved on his face, which makes him look very scary and weird.

The old man seemed to feel Zuo Feng's gaze, and suddenly raised his head to look at Zuo Feng. At that moment, Zuo Feng saw a green light flashing in the old man's eyes. The moment he looked into those green eyes, Zuo Feng felt a chill in his hands and feet, as if his body was instantly plunged into cold water. Zuo Feng felt it was difficult to breathe, and there was still a slight sting in his eyes.

Just when Zuo Feng felt that the pressure on his chest was getting bigger and bigger, and it was extremely difficult for him to breathe, a palm gently patted his shoulder, and at the same time, a familiar warm current slowly invaded Zuo Feng's body. , he was finally freed, and his body felt light.

"Thank you, senior, for coming to the rescue."

Yao Xun smiled slightly and said, "This ghost elder has a very weird temper. He hates people staring at his face most in his life, so you'd better be careful not to provoke him."

Zuo Feng nodded lightly. The ghost leader did not expect Yao Xun to be so aggressive, but when he saw Yao Xun looking towards him after helping Zuo Feng, he immediately lowered his head. Yao Xun just smiled and ignored the ghost elder with tattoos on his face.

At this time, the hall had completely quieted down, and Li Ru finally had the opportunity to speak again. She cleared her throat awkwardly and said: "The base price of this strange black substance is one thousand gold coins. If you are interested, every time You can increase the price by fifty gold coins, please start bidding now.”

This time, no one made fun of it, but no one had any intention of bidding, and there was a chance that this item would not be auctioned. Unsuccessful auctions may be very common in other auction houses because the reserve price offered for some items is too high, causing bidders to lose their original interest in the items, and this will eventually happen.

But at an auction like Luancheng, this kind of thing has never happened in almost all the years. This has a certain relationship with the quality of the items participating in the auction and the price set by the auction. Nowadays, many people are confused as to why such an unknown item is set at such a high price at the auction.

"One thousand and fifty gold coins."

Just when everyone fell into silence and Li Ru looked embarrassed, a slightly younger voice came from the VIP room in the southeast corner. This immediately attracted the attention of many forces and many people below, so their eyes were focused on that side.

Naturally, no one below could know who the bidder was in this VIP room, but there were sounds from other VIP rooms immediately.

"It's him"

"Master Shen"

"That little brat"

"snort"

Different voices sounded with different emotions, but Zuo Feng realized at this moment that he had unintentionally become a person familiar to most people in Luan City. Some people may be hostile to me, but most Zuo Feng can guess that it is because of Wangyouzui that they are so impressed with themselves, and they even know that it is them who bid just by hearing the voice. .

Although most people in the hall did not know who the bidder was, it did not prevent them from commenting on Zuo Feng's "idiotic" behavior. These people who have been living on the edge of the knife for a long time naturally speak freely, but Zuo Feng doesn't care much about them. The person he wants to ask the most now, or "that guy" is more appropriate, because he is the most important person. I still want to learn more about this black substance from Nifeng.

However, now he can only bid to get the things first, and then slowly look for opportunities to ask Niefeng after he is separated from Yaoxun.

"One thousand one hundred gold coins"

While Zuo Feng was thinking, there was a voice that made Zuo Feng extremely annoying. It came from the VIP room opposite. At this time, Puppet Xiang, the young master of the Puppet Spirit Sect, was looking at Zuo Feng with a playful look on his face, making it clear that he wanted to mix the water.

Although Zuo Feng showed no expression on his surface, he already had murderous intentions towards the young sect leader named Puppet Xiang. Zuo Feng himself is not the kind of person who is murderous. Even if his interests are not touched, Zuo Feng may laugh off some minor frictions and quarrels.

But I didn't know this puppet before, so even at this auction, there was no disagreement. However, this puppet had an attitude of insisting on defeating Zuo Feng. Not only did he oppose his style in everything, but Zuo Feng could also faintly sense that the other party had a hint of murderous intention towards him.

Zuo Feng did not want to cause trouble. Even if he had offended the Blood Wolf Gang, as long as the other party did not do anything excessive to him, he would rather leave Luan City as smoothly as possible without causing any trouble. But now it seems that it is not just Zuo Feng who wants the trees to be quiet, but the wind there never means to stop.

Zuo Feng didn't say anything more, nor did he look at the puppet. He just said coldly: "One thousand one hundred and fifty gold coins."

Zuo Feng would not charge too much money for the first time. His purpose was just to get this strange black stone.

"Three hundred gold coins"

"One thousand three hundred and fifty."

"Fifteen hundred gold coins"

"One thousand five hundred and fifty"

Every time the puppet made a bid, Zuo Feng only added fifty gold coins to it. When the puppet saw Zuo Feng come out to 1550, he hesitated for a moment and deliberately said loudly: "What a bullshit master, he is obviously a poor boy, but he still insists on learning how to shoot things. I'll bid The purpose is to be afraid that you, a poor man, will take a piece of useless stone and go back, and there will be no place to cry. Since you are so ignorant, I will leave it to you. "

As soon as Puppy Xiang finished speaking, there was laughter in the underground hall, but Zuo Feng calmly lowered his head slowly.
