The Legend of the Immortal Cauldron

"Two thousand three hundred spirit stones." As soon as the shopkeeper Hou finished speaking, someone immediately offered a price.

"Two thousand six hundred spirit stones!" Then, someone raised the price.

The sea snake is an extremely rare monster in the sea. It usually lives under the deep sea and only comes out from the bottom of the sea when it is time to reproduce.

The venom of this snake is very strong. Even if a Jindan cultivator is bitten by it, it will take several months to recover.

What Matthew cares about is not the venom, but the gourd that contains the venom.

There are several people competing for the venom of the sea snake. It seems that they want to get it very much.

Soon, the price rose from the initial two thousand spirit stones to five thousand.

Matthew watched several people competing with each other silently. He planned to wait until the price stabilized before bidding.

"Old ghost, this venom is extremely important to me. Can you give in? There will be a big gift later." When the price of the venom was raised to seven thousand spirit stones, one of the skinny men turned his head and said to the man who had been competing with him not far away.

"This venom is also very important to me. This is an auction, and everyone relies on their financial resources." The man called Laogui responded lazily.

The auction did not say that participants in the auction were not allowed to communicate. When the two were talking, the others were watching silently with a spectator's attitude.

"Seven thousand five hundred spirit stones!" Seeing that the other party did not give in, the skinny man could only raise the price again.

"Seven thousand eight." The man did not give in.

When the price reached seven thousand eight, the skinny man showed hesitation on his face, obviously the price had exceeded his bottom line.

The man who competed with him was not too relaxed, but kept fiddling with his fingers nervously.

For a while, there was no sound in the hall.

But Matthew noticed that the skinny man's lips were moving slightly, obviously transmitting sound.

And the only person he could transmit sound to was the man who was competing with him.

When the shopkeeper was about to make a decision, the skinny man raised the price to eight thousand one hundred spirit stones.

This time, the man shook his head directly, indicating that he had given up.

"Nine thousand spirit stones!"

When the skinny man finally breathed a sigh of relief and was ready to wait for the shopkeeper Hou to announce the result, Matthew, who had been waiting for a long time, finally spoke.

After hearing Matthew's offer, the skinny man stood up from his seat, staring at the private room No. 18 where Matthew was.

"Is this fellow Taoist doing this on purpose? I have been bidding for so long, and you are only bidding at this time. It is clear that you are deliberately making things difficult for me." The skinny man said fiercely.

But when he spoke, his eyes intentionally or unintentionally looked at the shopkeeper Hou on the stage, as if he thought that Wanbaolou had deliberately created someone to drive up the price.

The shopkeeper Hou, who was originally smiling, suddenly sank when he noticed the look in the skinny man's eyes, but he just snorted coldly and did not speak.

At this time, no matter what you say, others will think you are quibbling, so it is better to shut up and let others not be sure.

"This fellow Taoist is very interesting. Who stipulated that you must bid from the beginning during the auction? Manager Hou, does your building have such a rule?" Matthew's lazy voice came from the private room.

After hearing this, many people also looked at the skinny man with a playful look.

"This building does not have such a rule. At the auction, the highest bidder wins." Manager Hou obviously heard Matthew's voice and said with a chuckle.

"Okay, I'll offer 10,000 spirit stones. If you can offer a higher price, I will..." The skinny man took a deep breath and gritted his teeth.

But before he finished speaking, Matthew immediately quoted a higher price.

Now, the skinny man was like a deflated ball. He slowly sat back in his seat and shook his head and said, "I give up."

The value of the sea snake venom is far less than that. This is also a small episode.

When Matthew in the private room received the gourd sent by the maid, his face was also full of joy.

Being able to get the fragments was definitely a pleasant surprise for Matthew.

The auction was still going on, and there were many more items to be auctioned.

With this harvest, Matthew continued to stay in the private room.

He noticed that the skinny man did not leave, and turned his head to look at him from time to time.

This man was only in the middle stage of foundation building, Matthew did not take it seriously, and this was an auction, and he did not expect the other party to do anything unwise.

There were nine finale items in this auction, and many private rooms had been quiet from the beginning to now, probably waiting for the nine finale items.

After several hours, the auction finally entered the finale.

When the first finale item appeared, the starting price alone required 20,000 spirit stones, and Matthew chose to leave.

These finale items were not something he could afford.

Following a maid, after leaving the auction from another passage, Matthew disappeared on the street after walking out of Wanbao Building.
