There was an incredible expression on Zhang Ke's face, and even his eyes, which were glowing with white haze, opened.
"Are you kidding me?
Twenty thousand gold talismans was my asking price, how could I sell it to you?"
Master Shenxiu sneered.
"You were the one who didn't keep your word. I remember very clearly that the price you offered at that time was 100,000 gold talismans, okay?"
Someone nearby muttered.
"Hey! That's right! I remember that Master Ruyi seemed to have offered 100,000 yuan to scare Master Shenxiu away."
"Hey! So, it's a bit wrong for him to only offer 20,000 gold talismans!"
"That's right……"
Zhang Ke looked a little ugly and said:
"If you can't afford one hundred thousand and one gold talisman, then this set of quotations does not count. I will naturally pay twenty thousand..."
After pondering for a moment, he once again took out a space wallet containing 80,000 gold talismans and handed it to the shopkeeper.
"However, I have always done things fairly. Since you said so, I will just add 80,000 gold talismans."
Master Shenxiu smiled "hehe":
"Things can't be that simple. Since you didn't bid enough at the time, your set of quotations certainly don't count.
In this case, now everyone present can bid and compete for this crystal stone."
Master Shenxiu was very smart. He directly positioned this crystal stone as an ownerless thing, thereby luring others to side with him.
As expected, these words immediately aroused the hearts of some people, and some people immediately echoed them.
"Hey! What Master Shenxiu said makes sense, since the bid just now doesn't count.
Then everyone here can bid and compete for this crystal stone, don’t you think so?”
"Yes! Yes, I am also somewhat interested in this crystal stone. Does anyone else want to bid?"
"Well! Count me in!"
"I'm here to join in the fun!"
"And I!……"
For a moment, everyone spoke one after another.
Although most people can't even afford 20,000 gold talismans.
But this does not affect the mentality of everyone watching the excitement without taking it too seriously. It is still okay to make noises.
Zhang Ke was silent for a moment, then turned to the shopkeeper and said:
"Give me my money back and ask for a new price for this crystal stone!"
"oh oh!--!"
"Haha! This feels really good!"
At this time, more and more people were watching. After hearing Zhang Kezhi's words, some people immediately cheered.
There is also a certain hatred of the rich in the minds of some people, who deliberately stir up the atmosphere by blowing wind and sand.
Zhang Ke silently took the money bag and handed the crystal stone back to the shopkeeper.
Master Shenxiu suddenly said:
"Yu Tiezhen, it's better to check this crystal stone to prevent it from being transferred by someone."
"you……"
Zhang Ke suddenly turned his head and glared at Master Shenxiu.
"Ahem!"
Yu Tie coughed twice and asked the shopkeeper:
"Can you tell if this is the crystal stone just now?"
In fact, he understood this process, after all, he was the manager of Shigu Trading Place.
But at this moment, this question must be asked.
The shopkeeper said seriously:
"Of course it can be identified!"
As he spoke, he stretched out his hands and saw a pair of special black gloves on his hands.
The shopkeeper explained:
"Hundreds of years ago, there were indeed examples of crystallized stones being swapped, and we later responded to this.
All crystal stones that enter the store must go through a special process to detect everyone's scent.
And each crystal stone has a special number mark."
The shopkeeper took out a short stick and touched it directly on the crystal stone.
“Buzz——!”
There was a slight buzzing, and a series of numbers and two auras of different colors suddenly appeared on the crystal stone.
Zhou——Ding Jiu——6851!
The shopkeeper took out an account book, opened a certain page, and raised it above his head.
"You can check whether this crystal stone is consistent with the number in the account book.
This trading place is divided into eight directions: "Heaven, Earth, Xuanhuang, Universe, Prehistoric".
Each store is named after Shitiangan. Our store is located in Dingjiu.
The number 6851 at the back is the number of the crystal stone."
The monks present were so sharp-eyed that they clearly saw that the two numbers were consistent and nodded in approval.
The shopkeeper said again:
"My gloves are made of a special material that can isolate breath. Only two people have touched this crystal stone today.
Among the two auras, the pink aura belongs to Master Shenxiu, while the white aura belongs to Master Ruyi.
So this crystal stone is the one that caused the controversy. Do you have any other doubts now?"
What the shopkeeper said was very clear. By comparing the two, the crystal stone has been confirmed to be the original one.
After Yu Tie and other shopkeepers finished speaking, they asked Master Shenxiu:
"Does Master Shenxiu still have any doubts?"
Master Shenxiu shook his head and said:
"Gone!"
Yu Tie asked the crowd three more times, and when no one expressed doubts, he continued:
"Now that there is no doubt, it's up to me now.
Yu Tie, the manager of Shigu Trading Place in Qianxi City, Momen, was officially responsible for the bidding numbered ‘Zhou—Dingjiu—6851!’.
According to the rules of Shigu Trading Place, this crystal stone will restore the price of one gold talisman.
The bidding rules are..."
When Yu Tiegang said this, Master Shenxiu stopped and said:
"Ten thousand gold talismans!"
Yu Tie's words were interrupted and he couldn't help but stop and looked at Master Shenxiu displeased.
Master Shenxiu smiled and said:
“No need to say much else, just make an offer!”
After speaking, he glanced sideways at Zhang Ke.
Zhang Ke said slowly: "One hundred thousand!"
Seeing that Zhang Ke also spoke, Yu Tie shook his head and said nothing more.
Master Shenxiu raised his hand and stretched out three fingers.
"Three hundred thousand!"
Zhang Ke said without any hesitation:
"Half a million!"
Just as Master Shenxiu was about to speak, Wen Jiuyin beside him whispered:
"Don't be impulsive, lest you fall into a trap!"
Master Shenxiu's heart trembled, and he looked up at Zhang Ke's expression.
But he saw that Zhang Ke had no expression on his face, just staring at him with his pale eyes.
Master Shenxiu's mind was racing, thinking about the meaning of Wen Jiuyin's words.
Wen Jiuyin said again:
"This shop belongs to him. No matter what your price is, you can't offer more than Ruyi Zhenren. Let's forget about it today!"
Master Shenxiu was also a little hesitant. He was worried about the value of the crystal stone, but as for other things, he had some concerns.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! After all, he stayed here three years ago and is very clear about some rules.
No one knows what is actually in the crystal stone. If the value of the treasure inside is not enough for the price, then you will lose money.
But……
He raised his head and glanced around. At this time, there were nearly a thousand monks surrounding him.
But he had already shouted such a slogan, and even the honor of the sect was on the line.
If we give up in such a hasty manner, wouldn't it make others laugh?
But is this crystal stone worth the gamble?
Master Shenxiu fell into thinking.
Surprisingly, no one from Zhang Ke, Yu Tie or the crowd urged him.
At the beginning, there were still people who wanted to compete.
But it was only in the blink of an eye that Zhang and Ke's quotation made everyone understand that they and others really couldn't afford to play this game.
Nearly a thousand people watched the developments in silence.
Master Shenxiu thought for a moment, and suddenly felt a little more certain in his heart.
Why did Zhang Ke not urge him to bid? This is obviously because Zhang Ke hoped that he would hesitate and give up the bidding.
After all, the more time you spend thinking about anything, the less sure you will be.
Master Shenxiu showed a slight smile on his face and slowly said an astronomical figure.
"one million!"
For a moment, the silent scene was suddenly broken by everyone's exclamations, and the huge sound almost deafened everyone's ears.
"S--! Oh my god! One million gold charms?"
"What? One million? Did I hear that right?
How could anyone pay a million gold talismans for a crystal stone?
Am I crazy, or is the world crazy?"
"A miracle happened! This trade fair will definitely leave a legend that will be praised in future generations."
"So... so rich!!"
"Do you think a true king can afford so much gold talisman?"
"Alas!! I finally understand the background of these big sects. It's really frustrating!!"
"..."
The complicated and noisy arguments rang in everyone's ears.
Zhang Ke's expression was slightly stagnant. He did not bid immediately, but lowered his head silently.
Seeing that Zhang Ke didn't make an offer right away, Shenxiu felt confident.
If Zhang Ke makes an offer without hesitation again, he will definitely give in.
Since Zhang Ke is hesitating at this moment, this crystal stone is worth looking forward to.
After pondering for a moment, Zhang Ke slowly spoke.
"One million and one!"
Master Shenxiu raised his head and laughed three times.
"Hehe! In the end, you, Master Ruyi, were defeated by me."
After saying that, Master Shenxiu said loudly again:
"One million...zero two!"
This voice was sonorous and powerful, showing the absolute confidence and determination in Shenxiu's heart.
Zhang Ke took a breath and opened his mouth to speak.
Master Shenxiu spoke directly and blocked Zhang Ke's words.
"Fellow Taoist Ruyi! I'm afraid there's one thing you're not clear about, right?
Follow the rules of Shigu Trading Place.
Any monk who is related to a shop cannot bid more than three times for the same item when participating in the competition.
This is also specially set up to protect the interests of other monks.
So you can only quote one million and one!
Hahaha!
You didn’t expect it! You were ultimately defeated by a mere gold talisman."
Yan Feier was watching the two bidders, and her eyes were filled with excitement.
When he heard Master Shenxiu's words, he suddenly panicked and turned to ask Yu Tie.
"Couldn't what this bad guy said be true?"
His soft, pitiful words make people feel pity as soon as he hears them.
"This is true. I wanted to tell you this rule just now, but..."
Yu Tie sighed, shook his head and did not continue.
