God Emperor of Sword Domain

Chapter 127 Bidding
Three thousand miles away in North Vietnam, the Xiao family speaks volumes.

This tone is very strong, and the Beiyue Xiao family is indeed worthy of this tone.

The North Vietnam Xiao family dominates the North Vietnam's Lingshi mines, and belongs to a top family with both strength and wealth.

The Beiyue Xiao family implemented a unique heir selection system. After the current patriarch took office, heir competition started at the same time.

In the first year, from among the descendants who are eligible to inherit the family, three people are selected to start training, and one person is added every year thereafter until seven people are selected.

The seven heirs will compete in succession until the current head of the family dies or abdicates. The best one among them will inherit the position of the head of the family, and the remaining six will become elders.

The most important point is that the North Vietnamese Xiao family does not prohibit daughters from inheriting the family, but the offspring must be surnamed Xiao to be eligible to inherit the family.

This Xiao Qingxuan is the eldest daughter of the current head of the Xiao family in Beiyue. She has been the seventh heir for three years and is already the hottest person in the Xiao family. She is very hopeful to succeed the head of the family.

"This young lady of the Xiao family can be said to have a lot of promises in the Xiao family. But, there are as many as six people competing with her for the position of Patriarch, so the pressure is definitely not small." The merchant talked freely, introducing Beiyue Xiao home affairs.

"The Xiao family doesn't stay in Beiyue, what are they doing in Sky City?"

"I heard that the old man of the Xiao family is approaching his birthday, and he is looking for panacea everywhere to prolong his life. He wants to last a few more years and help his granddaughter take over."

"So, if anyone has a precious medicine that can prolong life, wouldn't he be able to make a lot of money at the Xiao family?"

"Isn't it? The Xiao family came last month, and all the vital energy-invigorating medicines in the major elixir shops in Tianxiao City were swept away by this young lady of the Xiao family."

……

After all the guests arrived, a big shopkeeper of the chamber of commerce stood up, signaled for everyone to be quiet, and then began to say the opening routine: "Everyone is welcome to come to this party, the gathering of everyone is mainly for drinking, chatting, and exchanging feelings. Buying and selling are secondary of."

No one likes to hear this kind of cliché.

Xiao Qingxuan, the eldest lady of Beiyue Xiao's family, was even more impatient, and waved her hand to let a subordinate come forward to convey her meaning.

"Our eldest lady is in a hurry, and I don't have time to listen to your gossip. If there is any elixir from the previous year, quickly take it out!"

"Yes, yes, please be patient, Miss Xiao, the auction will begin now."

The shopkeeper of the chamber of commerce said, and immediately asked someone to deliver a century-old ginseng.

This ginseng almost looks like a human being. The long roots are spread in the box, which makes people feel that it is very valuable.

Ginseng is a very good medicine for invigorating vital energy. Big families often use it to hang their lives, and it has a little life-sustaining effect. Last year's ginseng is even more valuable.

Ye Xuan took a look at this ginseng and immediately recognized that this ginseng was only 90 years old.

However, businessmen always exaggerate their products. It is not uncommon for 90-year-old ginseng to be sold as [-]-year-old ginseng.

"This century-old ginseng has a base price of 10 taels, and friends in need can bid." The head shopkeeper of the chamber of commerce announced.

The base price is 10 taels, and the default is the price of silver.

However, it is rare to use so much silver in real transactions.

In Sky City, gold and silver are hard currencies, and so are pills and spirit stones to improve cultivation.

The price ratio is also relatively fixed, and the gold and silver ratio is one to ten.

Spiritual stones are much more valuable than gold and silver, and one spiritual stone can be worth ten thousand taels of gold.

The background of the Xiao family in Beiyue is the Lingshi vein, which shows how powerful the family is.

After the big shopkeeper of the Chamber of Commerce reported the price of century-old ginseng, some people raised the price, but not much.

Immediately afterwards, Xiao Qingxuan made a sudden bid: "20 taels."

"20 taels?" The people present were a little surprised when they heard the price, because this price has exceeded the market price of century-old ginseng by a lot.

"As expected of the Xiao family, it makes people unable to compete once they make a move."

"20 taels is an astronomical figure to ordinary people, but to the Xiao family, it's just two spirit stones."

20 taels is much more than the value of [-]-year-old ginseng. There was no bid, and the [-]-year-old ginseng was sold quickly.

Immediately afterwards, the head shopkeeper of the chamber of commerce asked someone to deliver the second elixir.

The next few elixirs were all [-]-[-]-year-old elixirs, with prices ranging from [-] to [-], and most of them were sold by Xiao Qingxuan.

Until the shopkeeper of the chamber of commerce took out the sixth elixir.

"The next one is a century-old Dan Yuan Lingguo, with a reserve price of 30 taels."

When Ye Xuan heard that it was the elixir spirit fruit, he immediately became interested, because the elixir spirit fruit is the elixir material needed to refine the Tianyuan pill, and a hundred-year-old one can barely refine a high-grade Tianyuan pill.

However, before Ye Xuan opened his mouth to bid, Xiao Qingxuan, the eldest lady of the Xiao family, bid first: "40 taels."

Directly increasing the price by [-], Ye Xuan frowned.

These chambers of commerce are most familiar with the price of elixir, so the base price set is almost the same as the market price, and the price is directly increased by [-], which has already exceeded the market price.

For 40 taels of silver, you can buy four Tianyuan pills.

For ordinary alchemists, this price is already inflated.

Because even if an ordinary alchemist gets a century-old alchemy spirit fruit, it is difficult to refine a high-grade Tianyuan pill. If they produce a low-grade Tianyuan pill, they will lose money and vomit blood.

However, in the hands of Ye Xuan, the [-]-year-old Pill Spirit Fruit has another value. As long as a high-grade Tianyuan Pill is refined, the value will increase dozens of times in an instant.

So, after thinking about it, Ye Xuan raised his hand and bid: "50."

For the previous several elixir, as long as the Xiao family quoted the price, no one would bid.

This time, there was an exception. Everyone present turned their attention to Ye Xuan, and found that he was a young man who was unfamiliar.

Xiao Qingxuan was about to bid for an elixir, but when she heard someone raise the price, she cast a cold look in Ye Xuan's direction.

She glanced at Ye Xuan, but said nothing.

Since it is an auction, it is normal for someone to bid.

She raised her hand again to bid: "60."

60 is more than double the market price. If it is an ordinary person, it will definitely not continue to increase the price.

However, the hundred-year-old spirit medicinal materials are rare, and the speed of cultivation after taking the low-grade Tianyuan Dan is too slow.

Ye Xuan really needed this alchemy spirit fruit, Jushi continued to bid: "70."

70 million!
Everyone present showed a look of surprise. The normal price of the century-old Dan Yuan Lingguo was 30 yuan, but now it has soared to 70 yuan.

A question arose in the hearts of all the merchants present: Who is this young man?
When Xiao Qingxuan heard the bid, without blinking her eyes, she immediately raised the price: "80."

Ye Xuan narrowed his eyes slightly, thought about it, and bid again: "100 million."

After finishing speaking, he turned his head to look at Xiao Qingxuan, smiled and said: "This is my final price. If you can exceed this price, the item will be yours. However, as far as I know, the elixir spirit fruit has no life-extending effect."
