Elder You was still dreaming of monopolizing the method to identify the Spiritual Blood Stones, but this news quickly spread throughout the Nine Heavens.
De Fu's big mouth was still quite useful when he was needed.
He had a glib tongue, promoting the value of the Spiritual Blood Stones to everyone — the most direct way was that one could save 90% of the cost when buying the Spiritual Blood Stones. If one used this method to make money, they could also earn nine times the profit if they were lucky.
De Fu's analysis was clear and logical, and many people were moved by it.
"Looks like everyone is more or less prepared. Third Master, you can make a lot of money at the trade fair — too bad you won't be able to in the future."
He reported to Shen Zhenyi. Shen Zhenyi smiled and didn't say anything.
Actually, as long as Shen Zhenyi wanted to promote him, he could totally let De Fu earn more, but first … he had to be loyal enough.
This was a matter for the future, so there was no need to rush.
At that moment, Shen Zhenyi's action had already caused an uproar.
Elder Fang and Shangguan Bai were at a loss again.
Shangguan Bai smiled bitterly. "He's so young, but his martial arts have already reached such a level, and he even knows how to identify the Spiritual Blood Stones. I really believe that he's from the Shi Xiao. But what does he want to do by coming here and showing us his hand? "
Elder Fang didn't look good either. After hesitating for a long time, he said, "Could he have received some news?"
Shangguan Bai shook his head. "The Shi Xiao hasn't appeared in the world for five hundred years, I don't believe that they still have so many spies. Our plan is a secret, and besides, it won't affect the Shi Xiao, so why is he stopping us? "
The two of them were suspicious and couldn't come to a conclusion even after guessing for a long time.
In the end, Elder Fang sighed. "Maybe we can only take it that this generation of the Shi Xiao has no money, so he's using this method to earn some money?"
Shangguan Bai and Elder Fang looked at each other, unwilling to believe that "bowing to the Shi Xiao" would end up in such a state.
"If that's the case … then that's good."
Shangguan Bai's eyes shone. "Let's not bother with him for now and see what he can do."
On the second day, all kinds of items were auctioned. As expected, Shen Zhenyi submitted the method to identify the Spiritual Blood Stones. The people of the Nine Heavens knew that this was priceless, so they also made it an important final auction item.
Before the next fight, the water had already become very muddy.
That afternoon, Elder You came to look for Shen Zhenyi alone to convey the wishes of the Spirit Stones Valley Master. He hoped that Shen Zhenyi would sell the method to the Spirit Stones Valley privately instead of auctioning it off.
The Spirit Stones Valley was willing to pay three hundred thousand purple gold.
Based on the small scale of the past ten years, three hundred thousand purple gold was definitely a high price. Opportunities like selling a handful of ten million taels of gold to Nine Heavens were too rare, and Shen Zhenyi and De Fu did not have enough supply to begin with.
Regardless of whether it was the sales channels, they could not operate at full capacity. If they wanted to earn three hundred thousand purple gold, it would take a few hundred years.
But to the Spirit Stones Valley, 300,000 was just a drop in the ocean.
They had a huge amount of mineral deposits, and every month, they would ship out tens of millions of gold. If they could double the profit, they would be able to earn back the three hundred thousand gold within two to three years. Moreover, the increase in profit from this method would definitely be more than double.
Thus, Shen Zhenyi felt that the Spirit Stones Valley was a little stingy, and did not agree to this price.
Elder You's expression darkened, and he warned, "Third Young Master Shen, our Valley Master is willing to offer this price because he wants to make friends with you. If you are unwilling to make friends, then your future path will be difficult. "
Threats were useless against Shen Zhenyi, and his indifferent words made Elder You choke back his words.
"I have never had many friends."
Besides the Spirit Stones Valley, the Treasure Gathering House, Tong City, Crystal Sky Prefecture, and several other large sects related to mineral deposits had all contacted Shen Zhenyi privately. From the price that they offered, it was indeed not as high as the Spirit Stones Valley's.
Shen Zhenyi naturally rejected all of them. He was determined to squeeze the most out of this item in the auction.
According to De Fu's estimation, because there were enough people at the trade fair this time, the final Cyathea Fritillary Leaf would be sold at a sky-high price. Even if Shen Zhenyi had 300,000 taels of purple gold, he might not be able to win it. It was better to earn as much as possible.
Shen Zhenyi trusted De Fu's business acumen, so he simply waited patiently for the auction to begin.
During this period of time, many people tried to provoke Shen Zhenyi. This seemed to have nothing to do with the Blood Spirit Stone. It was probably someone who was bored and wanted to stir up trouble.
Cynanchum Chinense suspected that it was Shen Yizhou. She picked up the Cold Cloth Sword and beat those who tried to provoke her into submission. Not long after, the name of Nine Heavens was known to everyone. The Third Young Master Shen identified by the Blood Spirit Stone had a powerful female disciple.
Because Cynanchum Chinense didn't hold back, this wave of trouble was finally suppressed for the time being.
Shen Zhenyi lived leisurely every day. On the third night, when his identification method began to be auctioned, he entered the trade fair for the first time to see what everyone was selling.
Nine Heavens had set aside a large empty space in the sect to be used as a free market area. People would set up stalls here at any time to sell all kinds of medicine, materials, swords, and the like. Some people had been doing this for a living for many years, so they lived in Nine Heavens and were there every day.
Shen Zhenyi roughly looked around. These fixed stalls didn't have anything valuable. However, some people who came to the trade fair had some good things to sell. But during the auction, the stall owners went to watch the show, so they couldn't buy anything even if they wanted to.
He could only enter the auction room with waning interest. He listened to the Nine Heavens disciples who were hawking their wares and bragging, but every item was quite interesting.
There were no strict rules in the auction here. It was just that the highest bidder got the item.
Shen Zhenyi found that Shen Yizhou was also there, accompanying a rather stout young master. Shen Zhenyi saw his expression and guessed what he wanted to do. He couldn't help but snort disdainfully.
"Young Master Shen, are you saying that this Third Young Master Shen is especially arrogant? He and you are from the same family five hundred years ago! "
That stout young master was a little dazed. When he saw Shen Zhenyi enter, he whispered to Shen Yizhou in a low voice.
Shen Yizhou usually didn't come to the auction. Today, because he knew that Shen Zhenyi would definitely come, he deliberately prepared to find trouble. The stout young master beside him was Shangguan Bai's only son, Shangguan Fugui.
