Very soon, the waiter returned.
After walking to Linlong's side, he handed over a list and said, "There's only one treasure left like the rune brush. It's the one written on this list."
After receiving the list, Linlong looked at it. Elder Dong and He Qingxue also came over and saw the words "Hundred Refinements Heaven and Earth Brush" written on it.
"It's actually this treasure." Seeing the name, He Qingxue was immediately surprised.
There was no doubt that the Hundred Refinements Heaven and Earth Brush was several levels higher than the previous Rune Pen. If the previous Rune Pen was compared to the Martial Arts Technique used by warriors in the Martial Soldier Realm, then the Hundred Refinements Heaven and Earth Brush was equivalent to the Martial Arts Technique used by warriors in the Martial King Realm.
The gap between the two was simply an insurmountable chasm.
The reason why He Qingxue recognized the treasure was because it was the treasure of a rune master in a large sect near her family. However, she did not know how it ended up in the Black Ridge Gorge.
Evidently, the news that the Rune Master was assassinated and his treasure was stolen was true.
As the Hundred Refinements Heaven and Earth Brush was very famous in several nearby countries, it was impossible for it to appear in a regular auction. Therefore, it appeared in the Black Ridge Gorge.
"Young master, this treasure is really too expensive." He Qingxue said. Although the Hundred Refinements Heaven and Earth Brush was something that she dreamed of, it was really too expensive. It was not something that she could have now. Moreover, she did not believe that Linlong would have so many cloud coins to bid for it.
This was because the price of the Hundred Refinements Heaven and Earth Brush was definitely more than 10 times the price of the previous rune brush.
"It's just a brush. Don't worry, Miss He." Linlong smiled slightly.
It was true that he did not have enough cloud coins to bid for the Hundred Refinements Heaven and Earth Brush. However, there was still a long time before the auction. He had the ability to earn such a large sum of money, so he was not worried at all.
He Qingxue wanted to say something, but the auctioneer's voice sounded from below the stage. "It's time. I wonder if the guest in room 308 has made a decision?"
"I give up," Linlong said.
The reason why he had asked if there were any other treasures like the rune pen was because he wanted to know if the rune pen would be better than the previous one. Once he was sure, he wouldn't bother bidding against Rong Ping for the rune pen made from the Nethershadow Golden Wolf's fur.
Although he had a lot of cloud coins, he would not invest them in something that was priced up by several times for no reason. He would let Rong Ping suffer this loss himself.
"Alright, then this rune pen will be won by the guest in room 201." The auctioneer's voice immediately rang out.
Could it be that Linlong was purposely setting me up? He raised the price so many times to make me suffer? At this moment, Rong Ping could not help but have such a thought.
After all, nine million was not a small amount, not to mention that the money was not used to buy this rune pen.
However, when he thought about how he could use this rune pen to ridicule Linlong in front of He Qingxue after the auction, he felt that it was worth it to pay so many cloud coins.
Old Ke, who had already been chased down to the hall, could not help but sigh when he saw this result. In his opinion, it was not a big flaw for a young man to be brave and aggressive. However, if he knew that he was going to suffer a huge loss, he would be a complete fool.
However, the decision was in Rong Ping's hands. What could he do?
Following that, the auction continued. Linlong was no longer as absent-minded as before. Instead, he focused all of his attention on every item up for auction, especially those unknown treasures.
After all, he wanted to borrow those treasures to earn a lot of money.
The reason why he was indifferent before was because he did not have any targets and he felt that the cloud coins in his gold card were enough.
However, it was different now.
Very quickly, Linlong obtained that item. It was a medicinal cauldron that looked like it had existed for a very long time. However, because he could not identify its effects, only a few people bid for it after it was displayed. Furthermore, these people were not very enthusiastic. In the end, it was bought by Linlong for a hundred thousand cloud coins.
The medicinal cauldron was quickly sent to Linlong's room.
Looking at this extremely ordinary medicinal cauldron, He Qingxue could not help but ask, "Young master, why did you buy this medicinal cauldron?"
Although He Qingxue was a Spirit Master, she had come into contact with alchemy before, so she had some understanding of medicinal cauldrons.
Linlong laughed, "Miss He, don't think that this medicinal cauldron looks ordinary. Once you open the mechanism, you will see a different side of it."
"Could it be that there are some mysteries hidden in it?" Old Dong took the medicinal cauldron curiously. However, no matter how he looked at it, he could not see any mysteries.
He even thought that there was some kind of restriction on it, but when he used his spiritual sense to probe it, there was no abnormality at all.
"This is very ordinary. I have seen many medicinal cauldrons that are similar to this in the market outside." Old Dong said suspiciously. He even thought that Linlong might have made a mistake.
Linlong did not say anything. Instead, he smiled and took the medicinal cauldron. Then, he said, "Watch carefully."
After saying that, he directly circulated his Profound Qi and slapped the bottom of the medicinal cauldron.
Seeing that Linlong was obviously going to destroy the medicinal cauldron, Old Dong hurriedly shouted, "You can't …"
Because if he really destroyed the medicinal cauldron, what was the point of buying it?
However, what he and He Qingxue did not expect was that not only was the medicinal cauldron not damaged by Linlong's slap, it even started to make creaking sounds.
Then, a small opening actually opened up at the bottom of the medicinal cauldron. Immediately after, a golden stone the size of an egg extended out from that small opening.
"What is this?" Looking at the small golden stone, He Qingxue was instantly curious.
Old Dong, who was beside her, also widened his eyes. To be honest, he had lived for so long, but he had never seen such a strange stone.
"This is a Golden Flame Stone." Linlong looked at the two of them and said.
"Golden Flame Stone?"
He Qingxue still could not remember, but Old Dong was already incomparably shocked. "Could this be the Golden Flame Stone that has an additional effect on refining medicine?"
"Yes, that's it." Linlong nodded.
"Is this the Golden Flame Stone that can increase the success rate of refining fire attribute elixirs?" He Qingxue also remembered at this moment, and she also widened her eyes in shock.
No wonder they were surprised, because this was a good thing. Although they did not know the market price, in this auction, this medicinal cauldron could be sold for more than 15 million cloud coins.
One must know that when Linlong bought it previously, he had earned more than a hundred times the price in an instant.
While Old Dong and He Qingxue were both envious of Linlong, they also felt some indescribable regret. They regretted not buying this ordinary looking medicinal cauldron just now. After all, they could afford a hundred thousand cloud coins.
Damn it, is this kid really an ordinary youth? At this moment, Old Dong, who had such thoughts in his heart, could not help but size up Linlong.
What made him even more impressed was that Linlong, who could earn so much in an instant, looked so calm as if this medicinal cauldron that he had just obtained was just something that could earn him a few cloud coins.
If it was him, he would definitely shout in joy when he found such a good thing.
"Young Master, you … How did you see through it?" At this moment, He Qingxue's voice could not help but tremble.
Who would have known that the price of this ordinary medicinal cauldron would suddenly increase by so many times?
"That's because my master introduced me to this medicinal cauldron. Moreover, it's not much different from this medicinal cauldron. The reason why the people here didn't notice this was because they were all focused on the possible restrictions in this medicinal cauldron. They didn't think that this small medicinal cauldron was using an ordinary mechanism to hide the treasure," Linlong said.
"Indeed, I did not notice this just now." Old Dong nodded.
Mechanisms had been on the decline for many years. This was the reason why people did not notice it. Of course, the most important reason was that this mechanism was too exquisite. Who would have thought that such an ordinary medicinal cauldron would actually have such a mechanism?
Only an old monster like Linlong could see through it at a glance. Perhaps even the Hall Master of the House of Yunyan would think that this was just a medicinal cauldron that was slightly older.
"Young Master, you can use this medicinal cauldron yourself." He Qingxue said as she thought of something.
"En, let's see how it goes." Linlong said.
To be honest, this medicinal cauldron was not very useful to Linlong at the moment. Moreover, if he needed such a medicinal cauldron in the future, he could buy it himself. After all, Golden Flame Stone was not an extremely rare item. As long as he had enough money, he could still buy it in those big markets.
Therefore, Linlong's idea was naturally to sell this medicinal cauldron in exchange for money.
While the few of them were studying this medicinal cauldron, two more items were auctioned off. With Linlong's spiritual will, he could naturally chat with Old Dong and He Qingxue while keeping an eye on the situation of the auction. Therefore, he was not worried that he would miss out on any good items.
Next, during the auction of a treasure, Linlong realized that Rong Ping had also joined in the bidding. Moreover, he raised the price several times, as if he was determined to get it.
This was a Xuan Beast Fruit, which was very useful in beast-taming. However, because it was relatively rare, it was only slightly cheaper than the Golden Flame Stone. Therefore, its price was relatively high.
Under the bidding of several parties, the price directly soared from the original starting price of 100,000 yuan to 13 million yuan.
During this process, every time it looked like someone was going to bid for it, Rong Ping would fiercely increase the price.
From this point, Linlong could see that Rong Ping was determined to get this Xuan Beast Fruit. Moreover, his funds did not seem to be very loose. Perhaps, he still wanted to save the cloud coins to bid for other items.
After a series of intense bidding, the price temporarily stopped at 16 million.
Hearing Rong Ping call out such a high price, the people who previously followed in the bidding shook their heads helplessly. This price had completely exceeded what they could afford.
"16 million going once."
"16 million going twice."
"16 million going …"
When the auctioneer's voice rang out, and no one else in the auction house called out a price, Rong Ping could not help but heave a sigh of relief. This was because if he could obtain it at this price, coupled with some of his personal savings and the money he borrowed from others, he still had hope of bidding for the next item and completing the task that his father had given him.
However, at this crucial moment, just as the auctioneer was about to hammer the final price, a familiar voice that made him extremely unhappy rang out.
"17 million."
