The four female servants manipulated the steel frame, making the Goddess of Martial Arts unable to resist to pose.
That was the usual trick of the Musical House.
Then, the auction began directly. The starting price was one million gold ingots, and each increment was no less than 100,000 gold ingots.
Such a price was dizzying.
Room No. 7, who had bought all the pasture female slaves, did not hesitate and directly bid one million gold ingots, breaking the silence around.
However, that was just the beginning.
Since the other VIP pavilions, including some pavilions that had not made a bid since the beginning, joined the bidding, in less than the time it took for an incense stick to burn, the price of the Valkyrie had soared to two million gold.
Two million gold ingots!
Such a figure made the tycoons on the ordinary VIP seats all gasp.
They suddenly felt that compared with the real top tycoons, they were actually poor.
But there was one thing that was strange.
Room No. 10 did not participate in the bidding.
Room No. 18 also did not make a bid.
For many people, especially the man wearing the silver smiley-ghost mask in Room No. 18, he had always been protective of the fairer sex and bought many beautiful girls with clean backgrounds. However, this time, he did not have the slightest intention to bid. And some quick-witted people carefully observed and found that not only the Goddess of Martial Arts, but also the man wearing the silver smiley-ghost mask did not want to bid for every pasture female slave.
"Is it possible that the man wearing the silver smiley-ghost mask has no interest in alien women at all?"
Shangguan Yuting and Xin 'er did not quite understand the reason, but Zheng Cunjian knew a little bit. Because the pasture female slaves would be rescued by others.
That was indeed Li Mu's idea.
Although beautiful girls were good, buying too many was also troublesome.
The reason Li Mu auctioned off Xu Wan 'er, Lu Shengnan, and the other 17 beautiful girls was to protect Shangguan Yuting's pure heart and to protect the soul of the Natural Taoist Figure of Light.
As for the whereabouts of the 17 girls, Li Mu already had a vague idea.
Shangguan Yuting was definitely going to go to Taibai County with Li Mu. But there were many rough men in the county government, and there were few women. Shangguan Yuting might not be used to it. If Li Mu brought the 18 beautiful girls back to the county government, on the one hand, they could keep Shangguan Yuting company, and on the other hand, they could become Shangguan Yuting's continuous companions. Li Mu had observed with his Third Eye that Xu Wan 'er and Lu Shengnan were both very talented. Although Lu Shengnan's Dantian was destroyed, it was not difficult for Li Mu to help her recover.
These beautiful girls were all rescued after falling into a hopeless situation, so they would be grateful and would be easier to control.
Although those female pasture Wolf Warriors were quite powerful, their wildness was hard to tame. Li Mu was not in the mood to tame those prairie horses.
For the sake of his sworn brother, Guo Yuqing, Li Mu had some sympathy for those grassland women.
But since there were grassland forces sneaking into Chang 'an to rescue them, what Li Mu needed to do was to take advantage of the situation.
Moreover, with the support of the young master of the World Chamber of Commerce, it should not be difficult for the grassland people to redeem the Goddess of Martial Arts. Moreover, the amount of two million gold coins had already exceeded the range of Li Mu's financial resources.
In the past few days, Li Mu had shamelessly accepted the generous gifts from many rich businessmen and forces in Chang 'an. Together with the 1.5 million ingots of gold from Zhou Dedao of the Dafeng Chamber of Commerce, Li Mu's total assets were about three million ingots of gold. It could be said that he had become rich overnight.
Although this sum of money seemed to be a lot, in fact, it was not much for cultivation. He could spend it quickly by buying some top-grade jade and so on.
The cultivation of martial arts focused on wealth, companions, methods, and land.
Wealth referred to money. Whether on Earth or in this world, there was a saying that "the poor study and the rich practice martial arts". The poor could not practice martial arts because it consumed too many resources. Back then, Li Mu broke up with his father and was penniless. In the end, he could only seek fame by studying literature. Companions referred to companions, such as masters and sects, etc. Methods referred to Cultivation Methods, and land referred to the environment for cultivation. For example, a blessed place would be more beneficial for cultivation than a barren land.
Because Li Mu had immortal Cultivation Methods, he was much luckier than ordinary people. He could amaze the world with almost no effort.
However, as his strength increased and his cultivation improved, Li Mu gradually felt the role of money in cultivation. Not to mention other things, just to practice Taoist magic methods and to refine magic instruments and Taoist instruments, he needed a lot of jade, just like how primary school students needed exercise books and pencils.
Li Mu also wanted to start making money.
Tonight, he generously lent Wang Chen and Her Highness behind him one million, and also spent a lot of money to buy Tang Tang and sent her to Room No. 10. It was not because Li Mu had too much money to burn, but because Li Mu already had a new way to make money.
He wanted to rob the rich to help the poor.
The price of the pasture Goddess of Martial Arts kept rising. At last, it reached three million and was still rising.
Li Mu frowned and suddenly realized another thing.
Since the price of the pasture Goddess of Martial Arts would rise to three million as the finale, wouldn't the price of Mrs. Tang, as the last auction item, be even higher?
If that was the case …
"Well, I'm afraid that it won't be easy for Wang Chen and the others in Room No. 10 to rescue Mrs. Tang with the funds they have."
The situation might be a little more serious than he had imagined.
Moreover, Li Mu vaguely felt that the price was a little too high and not normal.
He looked at the main stage.
The pasture Goddess of Martial Arts looked solemn and noble. Although she was deep in the mud, her ambition remained unchanged.
"She is indeed an admirable woman."
Li Mu thought.
Suddenly, his eyes narrowed, and he was shocked.
He saw there was a clear tattoo on the snow-white skin of the pasture Goddess of Martial Arts's front shoulder. It was a strange longbow that was pulled to a full moon. It was full of tension, as if an arrow would pierce the sky when it was shot. The dark tattoo and the snow-white skin formed a kind of dazzling beauty.
"That is …"
Li Mu sprang to his feet.
Because of the angle and the clothes, he didn't see the strange longbow tattoo.
In the past, in the cave of the Nine-dragons Fall, his sworn brother, Guo Yuqing, was drunk and had such a tattoo on his chest. At that time, Guo Yuqing said proudly that he came from the pasture, and his family took the longbow as their emblem. All the members of his family had such a tattoo.
The strange longbow tattoo was exactly the same as the one on the pasture Goddess of Martial Arts.
"Could it be …"
A guess flashed in Li Mu's mind. "Is this pasture Goddess of Martial Arts a member of brother Guo's family?"
When he realized this, he knew he couldn't watch anymore.
"Ting 'er, do you remember what I said to you before?" Li Mu stood up and said to Shangguan Yuting. He looked around and found that the entire room No. 18 had been set up with many breath-concealing and concealing tactical deployments, so that outsiders couldn't spy on them. He decided to do something.
Shangguan Yuting nodded obediently.
"Well, tonight, you can see the real martial arts world. Believe in your own strength."
Li Mu smiled, put on the silver smiley-ghost mask, and said, "Act according to our agreement. Remember, believe in each other."
He left the room No. 18.
…
…
"What?" Guo Zhihui stood up angrily and said, "The quota of gold tickets is blocked?"
His personal attendant said with a bitter face, "Young Master, it's an urgent message from the headquarters in Qin City. Your authority is temporarily blocked."
"It must be that damn old man." Guo Zhihui pounded the table angrily.
The pasture Army Advisor's face changed several times in an instant.
He realized that trouble was coming.
The authority of Guo Zhihui, the biggest financial backer, was blocked, which meant they couldn't have enough money to participate in the auction. Then, it was almost impossible to rescue the Virgin Goddess Qing Yan peacefully.
"Don't worry, I still have a secret stash of money. Hehe, if the old man wants to use money to threaten me, then he's dreaming." Guo Zhihui rolled his eyes, returned to his seat, and said proudly.
However, that personal attendant said with a bitter face, "Young Master, the money you deposited in the chamber of commerce under an alias has also been blocked. And in the message sent by the master, if anyone in Chang 'an dares to lend you money, he will break his legs."
The smug smile on Guo Zhihui's face froze. Then, like a rabbit whose tail had been stepped on, his eyes turned red and he said angrily, "Damn old man, why is he so afraid of trouble … I'm so angry. He's going to frame me and make me unjust. I'm going to cut off the relationship between father and son." How could he not be angry? Looking at such a delicate and gorgeous beauty on the auction stage, but he couldn't get her and would break his promise to his friend. How could he not be angry?
The Junior Chief of the Moon-shooting Tribe suddenly stood up and said, "No matter what, we must rescue the Virgin Goddess Qing Yan." He looked at the young Army Advisor.
A wry smile appeared on the latter's face.
At this time, on the main stage outside, the price was still soaring.
Time was running out.
It seemed that there would still be a fight.
The young Army Advisor looked at Guo Zhihui and said, "Brother Guo, this time, thanks to your help, we can save the 46 most outstanding daughters of the Everlasting Heaven from the devil's claws. Young Master Tie and I are very grateful. Leave the next thing to us. You quickly take your men and leave, lest you get involved in the fight."
Guo Zhihui said generously, "What are you talking about? Today, I didn't fulfill my promise and put you in danger. Brothers, don't treat me as an outsider. You just want to snatch the girl, don't you? Count me in. "
The Junior Chief of the Moon-shooting Tribe and the surrounding pasture men all looked surprised.
