C977 Dissuade
The entire audience was silent. After all, two hundred and ten thousand Top-grade Spirit Stone, to most cultivators, was already a sky-high price.
"Three hundred thousand."
It was at this moment that a young woman's voice called out a bid of 300,000, shocking everyone to the core.
There was actually someone willing to pay a high price of three hundred thousand gold coins. This was an auction house, so you had to go back on your word and not pay.
Ann Sudong heard clearly that the voice belonged to Guo Fu.
He had originally thought that the people from the Guo Family would not take action, but now, it seemed that it was simply a matter of not making a sound.
Thinking about it, that was true. After fighting for so long and not moving even a single step, either he was completely uninterested, or he was just waiting for a bigger move.
The Seventh Grade Pill s were not first-rate pills, so no one cared about it. No one wanted their Guo Family to be on the spear with others, and they only waited for it to be confirmed.
In the end, the Guo Family took the top place and three hundred thousand Spirit Stone bought the Hundred Eyed Pill.
After seeing the fiery hot Seventh Grade Pill, the following auctions were extremely dull. Not only did it make Ann Sudong feel boring, there were also a lot of people sleeping on the ground, yawning one after another.
"Cough, cough …"
When He Lao saw the depressing atmosphere below, he hurriedly got someone to adjust the order of the auctions. Taking out a fairly good treasure item in advance to auction, finally livening the atmosphere.
This was a map that looked very simple and unadorned, with the picture of a nebula drawn on it.
"According to the research of our several veteran appraisal experts, this should be a treasure map that was left behind ten thousand years ago. These words are all ancient hieroglyphs, which is very different from today's Chinese characters.
The auctioneer said: "This map is drawn in a very remote place, and it can only be found by using this map. We call it the Death Swamp, and as for the Hall of Souls described later, we did not know, it might be the base of an organization, or the ruins might be left behind by that organization."
As soon as his voice fell, everyone became excited.
The Death Swamp sounded like a scary name, but this was a ruin from ten thousand years ago. It was unknown if there were some lost treasure or Secret Scripture or if there were many precious pills.
There was once a lucky person who accidentally stumbled into a secret plane, and after coming out, his reputation spread far and wide.
The old man listened to the discussions below and raised his hand: "Calm down everyone. Listen to me, the things recorded on this map are too far away after all, so our Auction cannot guarantee that this map will really lead to the Death Swamp. I hope that everyone can prepare themselves for this point, and once you have purchased nothing, this Auction will not be responsible."
The old man's words were tactful. In any case, they wouldn't be held responsible for any responsibilities due to the old man's Auction.
Instantly, many people revealed a look of disappointment. Thinking about it, 10,000 years had passed. Perhaps the location on the map had already changed a long time ago.
If he could really find it with 100% accuracy, why would anyone want to take a Auction record? Wouldn't he be rich if he went on a treasure hunt?
But even so, there were always people who had hopes that they could really change their fates.
"Grandfather, is this really a lie?" Guo Fu laid beside the Old Ancestor and asked with a face full of curiosity.
The Old Ancestor shook his head, "This is still hard to say. The map is an old item, but the location of the hidden treasure is hard to say."
"Then who else wants to buy it?"
Guo Fu said.
"Wealth comes from danger. This risk doesn't necessarily mean one's life is in danger. Today, you have spent a great deal of money to buy this treasure map. That means you have to take a risk. Whether or not you can gain wealth depends on luck." The Old Ancestor said.
"Old Ancestor, do you want me to buy it for you?" Guo Xun thought.
"There's no rush. Right now, I'm more interested in that brat Ann Sudong. Rank seven alchemist. Interesting." The Old Ancestor narrowed his eyes.
"Old Ancestor, do you really believe that he is a tier 7 apothecary?"0
Guo Fu curled her lips, and said with a face full of disdain: "That scoundrel of his is an alchemist?"
"Miss, what the Old Ancestor said is right, a person cannot judge a book by its cover. That Ann Sudong has a higher cultivation than me, adding the arrogance he showed the Old Ancestor previously, it is really possible that he is a high ranked pill refiner."
"I don't believe it." Guo Fu innocently snorted.
"Xiao Fu, the way of life in this world has changed long ago, that Ann Sudong dares to provoke us, he must have his own reasons, if not for his cultivation, he could only be an expert in pill refining, that would explain everything."
Soon, the auction started.
Ann Sudong was not very interested in this item, but looked at the people below who instantly raised the price to 50,000 Top-grade Spirit Stone.
These things were different from Seventh Grade Pill s. Seventh Grade Pill s could be used to save lives at critical times, and even if they were to sell it, the price of Seventh Grade Pill s would not go down.
However, this treasure map was completely different. If it really existed, then he would have earned it. If it didn't exist, or if someone had already discovered the treasure map, then the loss wouldn't be just because of this treasure map.
Therefore, this item's uncertainty was too high, and its price was not too high.
"One hundred thousand!"
At this moment, a hoarse voice suddenly sounded from a corner of the auction house.
The fact that someone was willing to pay 100,000 for an uncertain treasure map shocked countless people. They couldn't help but turn their heads over.
Ann Sudong frowned slightly. A treasure map that was still from ten thousand years ago had already contained fifty thousand Top-grade Spirit Stone.
He could never have imagined that there would be someone willing to pay a hundred thousand dollars.
The one who shouted was Black Robed Elder, and his disguise did not attract the attention. After all, the people who were running all over the place all wanted to hide their identity, but the old man's cultivation level made Ann Sudong shocked.
"Half step Emptiness Refining Stage Expert!"
This was the first time Ann Sudong met a cultivator with a link to his Emptiness Refining Stage.
He could not help but think of what Lei Zhuang had said. In the party that brought along a woman, there was an old man who had an extremely high cultivation.
On Earth, Late Period of Immortal Formation Stage were as rare as phoenix feathers and qilin horns, let alone half-step Emptiness Refining Stage. In such a small place like Hua'an, it was impossible for two experts of this level to appear at the same time.
Then there could only be one truth. This old man was most likely one of the people who had captured her mother.
A vicious Qi rose up from his chest, Ann Sudong suddenly stood up, and was about to jump down, to capture the opponent.
"Kid, don't be rash!"
At this moment, San Ye spoke.
"Maybe it was this bastard who led people to capture my mother." Ann Sudong said in a suppressed voice: "With a half-step into the Void Refinement realm, if you want to capture someone from the Penglai Holy Land without being detected by Master and Senior Master, it is simply an easy feat."
