low-key is king

Chapter 398
"How is this going?"

It was not only the onlookers outside who were shocked, but also the owner of the stall.

He stared at the bead that smelled of water clouds in disbelief, as if ten thousand divine beasts galloped past in his heart.

The owner of the stall was originally sure that this was not a water cloud bead, at least it couldn't be a sixth-grade water cloud bead.

This is an ordinary bead he got by accident, and he put it on the stall to see if he can meet some bad guys and buy it.

But now, the aura emanating from the bead is so majestic that it seems to make the air here a lot more humid, which makes the stall owner a little puzzled.

"Could it be that this is really a sixth-grade water cloud bead, just because I misread it?"

For these profit-oriented stall owners, even if he still had doubts in his heart, he immediately corrected his mentality, not to mention that the aura would not be false.

So in this instant, the stall owner forcibly brainwashed himself.

In any case, it was a sixth-grade water cloud bead, and it belonged to him, so he was really going to make a fortune now.

Perhaps these sixth-grade water cloud beads are of no great use to those who cultivate the fire attribute and earth attribute.

But don't forget, this is the Liuyun Kingdom, and the most basic attribute of the Liuyun royal family is the water cloud attribute.

Thinking of this, the stall owner couldn't help but be inexplicably excited, wishing to shout that he had the sixth-grade water cloud beads, and it would be best if he could attract people from the Liuyun royal family, so that he could sell them at the highest price.

"Yes, it is indeed a sixth-grade water cloud bead!"

Lu Xun, who stared at the beads in his hand for a while, finally nodded in satisfaction, then looked at the stall owner, and said a little excitedly: "Boss, let's make a price!"

"Ten... 15 high-grade gold beads!"

The stall owner originally wanted to directly ask for a price of [-], but when the words came to his lips, he suddenly became dark and added another [-] on top of that, which made many people look at him with contempt.

This guy is really good at business. The sixth-grade water cloud beads are precious, but generally speaking, one hundred thousand is about the same.

Now the starting price is 15, and I don't know how much it will be sold in the end.

"15 top-grade gold beads, I want it!"

Just when Lu Xunwei was hesitating, a voice followed, and then with a bang, a large money bag fell directly on the booth, almost crushing the wooden booth.

Li Gui was the one who spoke. If he deliberately disgusted Lu Xun with the previous things, then he is really determined to get the sixth-grade water cloud beads.

This is a treasure that is of great use to His Royal Highness the Second Prince. Even without Lu Xun, he must take it.

A mere 15 top-grade gold beads is nothing to him.

This domineering move undoubtedly made the stall owner smile, but he didn't reach for the money bag, but turned his gaze to the boy in black, with a hint of expectation.

You must know that the boy in black was the one who asked the price first, and the Shui Yunzhu also bloomed brilliantly in the hands of the other party.

Everyone can see that the boy in black is also very interested in this water cloud bead, and he probably won't give up easily.

"Hmph, it's fine to give those things to you earlier. This young master saw the water cloud beads first, so you don't want to take them away!"

At this moment, Lu Xun's face looked a little gloomy. He first expressed his position, then turned his gaze to the stall owner and said, "20 top-grade gold beads!"

Lu Xun's body also showed a domineering look at this moment. The wealth and wealth of the direct price increase of [-] is also amazing, and he secretly thought that these two seem to be fuel-efficient lamps.

"Huh? I remembered, isn't that guy Li Gui? When did he get so rich?"

When a sound from outside was about to sound, some people who recognized Li Gui's identity all had doubts on their faces.

Because in their impression, Li Gui is just a martial artist of the four realms, and he doesn't have much background behind him. His entire net worth, whether he has [-] top-grade gold orbs, is a matter of debate.

"Hey, I heard that Li Gui has been frequenting the second prince's mansion recently, maybe he's next to him. This is an old hen turning into a duck. It's not what it used to be!"

And when another voice came into everyone's ears, they suddenly realized it. Many people even glanced at the person who spoke, secretly thinking that you should be careful that trouble comes out of your mouth.

Although Li Gui in the past was a martial artist of the four realms, he may not be a big shot in this Liuyun country.

The man who spoke a little harshly was also a martial artist of the four realms, and his strength was still slightly higher than that of Li Gui.

But now, Li Gui has become the second prince, and it is said that he is one of the most likely to become the next monarch. If Li Gui hears such words now, there may be a lot of troubles in the future.

But after knowing this fact, everyone also had an objective understanding of Li Gui's wealth, and also guessed that he wanted to buy the sixth-grade water cloud beads, and he was probably doing something for His Highness the Second Prince.

"25 million!"

At this time, Li Gui didn't have the mind to care about the voices of the outsiders. Seeing that he couldn't wait to bid, he directly added [-] high-grade gold beads on the basis of Lu Xun.

This is not a drama that deliberately disgusted Lu Xun before, this is the treasure that Li Gui is really determined to obtain.

Therefore, he will not increase the price by [-] as before, so as to show his determination.

"30 million!"

It seems that Lu Xun is also fighting with Li Gui. With just a few price increases, the value of the sixth-grade water cloud beads has been doubled on the basis of the stall owner's original asking price.

To be honest, at this price, even the stall owner was a little scared.

He has also participated in the Liuyun Fair several times, but even if the total turnover of the previous few times is only half of the 30 top-grade gold beads at most.

In other words, if the transaction can be made this time, the stall owner can make a lot of money.

And this is a surprise, not to mention that the transaction price is probably far more than 30 top-grade gold beads.

"35 million!"

Li Gui was not to be outdone, he believed that for His Highness the second prince, the sixth grade water cloud beads were not just as simple as the sixth grade, it could even lay the foundation for the second prince to break through to the sixth realm master.

A treasure with such matching attributes may not be worth such a high price in the eyes of others, but Li Gui knows that he must not miss it, at least he must hold on until His Royal Highness the Second Prince arrives.

If the Shuiyun Pearl really fell into the hands of the person in front of him, then even if the second prince came over, he would have no power to recover.

After all, during the trade fair, even members of the Liuyun royal family cannot make casual moves.

"40 million!"

Lu Xun was expressionless, but he had been paying attention to movements in several directions.

This water cloud bead is obviously a fake, if the second prince came here and brought along a strong man from the sixth realm, it might be exposed in an instant.

But at this moment, Lu Xun did not sense the two familiar auras.

This kind of deception is very easy to deceive the martial artists who are at most four or five realms in the field, especially Li Gui who has been blinded by some kind of interests.

"Forty... ten thousand!"

And at this time, Li Gui was not as straightforward as before, and returned to the [-] price increase, maybe he couldn't bear it, and wanted to delay the time until His Royal Highness the Second Prince came over.

"45 million!"

But the black-clothed boy over there was still brave. Lu Xun took Li Gui's thoughts to heart, knowing that this guy would never give up, and would definitely wait until the second prince Yun Ji appeared.

That being the case, Lu Xun must maximize his benefits. Anyway, he knows that no matter how he increases the price, as long as it is not too outrageous, this guy in front of him will drag him down.

"46 million!"

Sure enough, as Lu Xun expected, Li Gui gritted his teeth and added another ten thousand.

So far, a seemingly ordinary bead has already fetched a sky-high price of 46 yuan, which is beyond everyone's expectation.

Even the stall owner was a little flustered, because he knew that even the real sixth-grade cloud water beads were definitely not worth more than 40 top-grade gold beads. This wouldn't bring him any trouble, would it?

But after thinking about it, this is the Liuyun Fair, and this one is willing to fight and one is willing to suffer. In short, it has nothing to do with him as the stall owner.

You can't just bid on the price and not buy it, that is also breaking the rules of the fair.

"50 million!"

And when the price that Lu Xun mentioned was called out, there was an uproar in the venue, no one would have known in advance that such a sky-high price would be auctioned in a corner of this small trade fair.

This might already be the highest price ever sold at the Liuyun Fair, right?

At least in their impression, treasures with more than 50 top-grade gold beads are really rare in the world.

Seeing Lu Xun slightly provocative eyes, Li Gui was a little silent at this moment.

He also didn't expect at all, how could the situation suddenly reach such a feverish level?
To be honest, Li Gui has never seen so many top-grade gold beads in his life, and his entire net worth is only a little over [-] top-grade gold beads.

If it wasn't for His Royal Highness the Second Prince supporting him behind, he probably wouldn't have opened his mouth. The base price offered by the stall owner would have ruined his entire family.

But now, Li Gui is a bit stuck, if he really gives up at this time, when the time comes, His Royal Highness the Second Prince will blame him, and he will not be able to bear the blame.

"Fifty...ten thousand!"

After a long time, Li Gui took a deep breath and finally added [-] high-grade gold beads, but this seemed to take away all his strength, and his breath seemed extremely dry.

This time it was Lu Xun's turn to look ugly, and the bidding was no longer as straightforward as before. His gloomy eyes stared at Li Gui opposite, and anyone could see his anger and unwillingness.

In fact, under the reminder of his senior brother, Lu Xun could already sense two slightly familiar auras, which were quickly approaching here.

He knew that his goal had been achieved, and if he continued to act, it would be ruined.

Therefore, Lu Xun had to close the deal before those two arrived.

Otherwise, all his previous scenes would become a joke, and it's time to close the net.

"you win!"
