I have to say that this method did save a lot of time. Li Mingyue and Dongmei quickly found the remaining three items, and because of Li Mingyue's status, the prices were not too high. After six items, the total cost was
More than three thousand gold, only the last piece is left, which is the one Qiu Ju discovered, the so-called thousand-year-old willow root.
This thing must be really scarce and really expensive, because Li Mingyue and Dongmei went to all the institutions and couldn't find this thing. In other words, if those three thousand gold were really spent, then the total would be
, it will cost nearly seven thousand gold in total.
This is not a small sum. The key is that Li Mingyue has spent almost all the money he had pawned the Lingbao before, and there is still less than a thousand gold left. If he wants to buy the last item, he must continue to pawn the Lingbao and collect the remaining money.
Qi, and we still don’t know how much it will cost the old man who can repair the guqin.
After spending so much money at once, Li Mingyue said it was a lie if he said he didn't feel bad. He even started to bleed. Li Mingyue felt that his legs were shaking when he walked.
But now the things he needs are just the same, and he can't give up halfway. He has to get the last thing even if he bites the bullet, so Li Mingyue can only find a place to continue to pawn the spiritual treasure, and then collects a total of five thousand gold. Is it enough?
There's only so much, no matter how much, Li Mingyue really can't bear it.
After pawning the Lingbao, Li Mingyue took Dongmei and walked directly towards the chamber of commerce Qiu Ju mentioned to avoid any changes later.
Although the thing is expensive, it is only one thing missing now. If something unexpected happens again, it will be really unacceptable.
After Li Mingyue and Dongmei walked into this chamber of commerce, no one came out to greet them like those from previous chambers of commerce. They probably didn't know Li Mingyue at all.
In fact, this is normal. This chamber of commerce is not big. Compared with the previous chambers of commerce, it can't even compare to the ten chambers of commerce. Naturally, it does not have that much energy to pay attention to Li Mingyue's affairs.
The person who received Li Mingyue and Dongmei was a woman. Although it was winter, her breasts were half exposed. Two snow-white peaks squeezed out a deep gap. It was difficult to look away after one glance. However,
Who was Li Mingyue? Naturally, she would not be tempted by such vulgar fans, so she just stepped in and took a look.
After the woman stepped forward, her eyes quickly looked at the two of them, and finally her eyes rested on Dongmei. She frowned slightly and asked delicately: "Does this young master want to buy a spiritual treasure or pawn it? The price of our chamber of commerce is guaranteed to be
You can go and inquire about the drunk discounts in Guanyun City, they are all well-known."
Li Mingyue said directly: "I want to buy a thousand-year-old willow root. I sent someone to ask about it yesterday, and I'm here to trade it today."
He looked at the woman and asked, "Can the girl make the decision?"
The woman was stunned for a moment, and then said: "What a coincidence. Today there is an immortal master who also needs this thousand-year-old willow tree. At this time, he is upstairs discussing the price with the president."
Li Mingyue frowned slightly and couldn't help but look towards the second floor.
It can't be such a coincidence, right? Of course, it can't be ruled out that this woman didn't care about being confused and wanted to raise the price.
Li Mingyue said: "Who is he?"
The woman shook her head and said: "I don't know about this slave, but judging from her demeanor, her status should be high. She may be the immortal master of the Great Immortal Sect. After all, someone who can buy a thousand-year-old willow root is extraordinary."
Her eyes never left Li Mingyue's face, so she quickly said with a smile: "Of course, we never judge people by their appearance, nor do we look at the status of our guests. Good things naturally go to the one with the highest price. If the young master still pays
If you want to buy it, I can take you up here. You and the immortal master will bid together. As long as the master’s price can beat that immortal master, you can naturally take away these thousand-year-old willow roots.”
Li Mingyue frowned again. It seemed that someone really wanted to buy the thousand-year-old willow root, otherwise this woman would not have said such a thing.
Of course, it may be that they were hired by the Chamber of Commerce. These guys will do anything to make money. Li Mingyue has seen a lot, more than this is unbelievable, and he has also suffered losses.
Li Mingyue nodded and said, "Please ask the girl to lead the way."
The woman nodded with a smile and led the two of them upstairs, turning left and right until they came to a room door. Then the woman knocked on the door and said, "Manager Wu, someone wants to buy a thousand-year-old willow tree."
Mugen, do you think you should bring him in?"
An old man's voice came from inside: "Come in."
The woman pushed the door open, then bent slightly and made a "please" gesture to Li Mingyue and the other two.
It didn't matter that she bent down, the two white rabbits almost jumped out.
Li Mingyue walked into the house first. The house was very fast. At this moment, seven or eight people were looking at him.
Directly opposite, there is an old man wearing a dark red robe, who should be the steward of the chamber of commerce. On his left, sitting is a young man in his twenties, wearing a gorgeous brocade, holding a teacup in his hand, a pair of thick black
His brows furrowed slightly.
Behind this young man, stood two burly men, like servants, with strong breath. To his left, sat an old man in sackcloth, with his head lowered, as if taking a nap, and did not raise his head to look at Li Mingyue and Dongmei.
In addition, there were several people sitting opposite the young man, but they were probably not in the same group as the young man. They were more like guests who came to the chamber of commerce to do business, but they happened to be received by the steward.
The steward stood up first, bowed to Li Mingyue, and asked with a smile: "This young master also wants to buy a thousand-year-old willow tree?"
Li Mingyue nodded and said: "I sent someone to ask yesterday, and I'm here to trade today."
The old man nodded, as if he was thinking about something, but he didn't seem to remember that someone came to ask about the thousand-year-old Liu Mugen yesterday. Of course, it might not be him who received him, after all, not everyone had to be received by him personally.
Anyway, regardless of whether there is or not, since someone also needs the thousand-year-old willow wood, that is a good thing, because it can allow that already priceless thing to be sold at a better price.
Although the thousand-year-old willow trees are precious, the demand is not great, so no one has come to buy them for so many years. Now, two of them have arrived at once, so the price will naturally be doubled. If he can buy it,
If this thing is sold, the chamber of commerce's transaction volume this year will reach the target, and he will have great hope if he continues to move forward.
The old man was making a calculation in his mind, and quickly said with a smile: "What a coincidence, this young man is also here to buy a thousand-year-old willow tree, which makes it a little difficult for the old man."
The young man put down his teacup and said, "What's so difficult about it? Treasures like this always go to the one with the highest price. In the end, whoever pays the higher price will own it. No one can say anything."
The old man seemed to be waiting for this sentence, so after the young man finished speaking, he looked at Li Mingyue and asked: "Sir, look..."
Li Mingyue frowned and thought, then nodded: "Of course."
The reason why he agreed is that Li Mingyue really has no choice now. He must get the thousand-year-old willow root. Moreover, although the young man seems to have a good status, three thousand gold is not a small amount after all. Even some sects on the mountain do not want it.
It may be that if you take it out, you can take it out, and Li Mingyue still carries five thousand gold, so he may not be able to get the so-called thousand-year-old willow root, but he may have to pawn the spiritual treasure again afterwards.
When she thought of this, Li Mingyue felt bad all over.
The old man nodded and said: "Okay, let the two customers inspect the goods first. They can see the quality and age of the thousand-year-old willow roots, and they can also better estimate the value."
After saying that, he clapped his hands, and immediately someone came in from the outside. There were three people in total, two strong men, with endless auras, and there was no intention to hide them. It should be to shock the people present and prevent anyone from directly snatching the treasures.
, a charming woman, holding a long box in her hand, covered with yellow silk satin.
After the woman walked in, she handed the long box to the old man, then backed out and closed the door.
After the old man took the box, he carefully placed it on the table, then removed the yellow silk on it, and opened the box, revealing a golden tree root lying quietly inside, filled with brilliance.
The old man said: "Two guests, please check."
The young man raised his hand, and a man behind him walked out, then walked around the table and nodded to the young man, indicating that it was okay.
Li Mingyue didn't know the age of this thing. She could only look at Dongmei and found that Dongmei seemed to have been paying attention to the old man sitting on the chair and taking a nap. She couldn't help but glance at the old man. He should be a strong man, and at least
It's the Guiyuan realm, otherwise Dongmei wouldn't be so concerned.
Li Mingyue no longer relied on Dongmei and asked directly in her heart: "Senior."
The woman in the bell said: "It is indeed a thousand-year-old willow root, and the grade is not low. However, although this kind of thing is hard to come by, it is also valuable. After all, it is not widely used. It only costs three thousand gold if it is used to death. Don't be fooled.
."
Li Mingyue was stunned, but quickly nodded to the old man, indicating that there was no problem.
When the old man saw that both of them had no problem, he closed the box and asked with a smile: "Which two of you will bid first? The starting price is a thousand gold, and the minimum increase is one hundred gold at a time. The one with the highest price will get it."
The young man picked up the tea cup again, determined to win, and said boldly: "Two thousand."
Li Mingyue said: "Two thousand one."
The man said: "Two thousand and five."
Li Mingyue frowned slightly. This price increase was too fast and completely inconsistent with common sense. In just two times, it was already close to the value of the willow root. In other words, the final transaction price of this thing would probably exceed the value of this thousand years.
The value of the willow root itself.
Li Mingyue could only continue to add: "Two thousand six."
The young man frowned slightly at this time: "Two thousand eight."
Adding less and less shows that this young man also knows the true value of these thousand-year-old willow roots.
So Li Mingyue directly increased it to three thousand, which was exactly the true value of the willow root.
Of course, it does not mean that the other party will not increase the price, but it depends on the other party's needs, but the price is just right. No matter whether this guy is dragged by the Chamber of Commerce or not, he will be in a dilemma. If he is not dragging, he will continue to increase the price.
It will exceed the value of this thing, which is a loss-making transaction. If we delay and continue to increase the price, it is very likely that we will get nothing and let the thing continue to stay in the Chamber of Commerce.
Of course, Li Mingyue definitely wants to take this thing away, even if it is increased to four thousand in the end, he can accept it.
The young man fell into deep thought, and the old man did not urge him, but waited quietly.
Fang Jianzhong, no one made a sound, everyone looked at the young man. The atmosphere in the room suddenly became a little heavy.
The young man gritted his teeth and said, "Three thousand and one."
Li Mingyue didn't wait for everyone to turn their attention to herself, and said directly: "Three thousand and five."
There was an uproar in the whole room. Everyone looked at Li Mingyue in disbelief, almost thinking that they had heard wrongly.
Li Mingyue continued to add: "If this young master adds more, I will give up. Anyway, this thing is only worth so much money, and I really can't afford more money."
The young man stared at Li Mingyue and gritted his teeth.
Obviously, he was not the one invited by the Chamber of Commerce to raise the price, but he really wanted to buy these thousand-year-old willow roots. He just happened to meet Li Mingyue. There was no way. Many times, it was just such a coincidence.
The young man quickly calmed down his anger and instead showed a smile. Then he picked up the teacup on the table and continued to take a sip. After slowly swallowing the tea down his throat, he put down the teacup and said slowly: "I'm not going to add any more.
But I must have these thousand-year-old willow roots."
Everyone in the room frowned.
The young man raised his eyes and looked at Li Mingyue and said with a smile: "It's hard to choose between two people, but if there is only one person, naturally you don't have to choose."
As soon as the words fell, the two men rushed out instantly, attacking Li Mingyue from the left and the right.
Both of them are at the late stage of the Tianwu Realm, and are only one step away from the Martial Realm.
But before the two of them got close to Li Mingyue, a figure appeared in front of Li Mingyue, and then the two men flew out directly, punching through the wall of the house and falling downstairs.
Almost at the same time, the old man who had been napping stood up and pressed his palm directly on Li Mingyue's head.
Li Mingyue did not dare to confront the old man head-on, and drove twenty-five flying swords towards the old man. He did not intend to seriously injure the opponent, but only used them to block the old man's speed. At the same time, he retreated towards the back and followed the old man to distance himself.
The old man didn't seem to expect that Li Mingyue could drive so many flying swords at the same time. Instead of forcibly killing Li Mingyue, he flicked his fingers to block those flying swords.
After Dongmei dealt with the two martial arts experts, she immediately stood in front of Li Mingyue. At this moment, the old man blocked all the flying swords and formed a confrontation with Dongmei.
Twenty-five flying swords flew back to Li Mingyue, arranged in two rows.
Li Mingyue asked: "Is there any problem?"
Dongmei did not turn around, but stared at the old man opposite and said, "I can keep the young master safe, but... I'm afraid it will be a little difficult to kill him."
Li Mingyue frowned slightly, and Dong Mei could say that this old man's strength was probably far beyond Li Mingyue's imagination, and it was not impossible that he was a young master. In other words, this battle might not be as easy as Dong Mei said.
