Chapter 116 Mysterious Sachet
Hearing Huang Hao's words, Old Liu's eyes suddenly condensed. At first, he hadn't noticed anything, but when Huang Hao reminded him, he suddenly realized something was wrong.
It seems that there are people around who are secretly monitoring them. As a master at the level of a master, he has already had some slight perception of others' surveillance. However, Mr. Liu has been welcoming and seeing off the crowd, and he has ignored the surrounding environment, so he did not find that he and others were being monitored by others.
Moreover, what shocked Mr. Liu even more was that Huang Hao immediately noticed it as soon as he arrived. Doesn’t this mean that Huang Hao was just a person from the second level of true qi, and his insight was even stronger than a master-level master like himself?
However, as Huang Hao said, this is not a place to speak now. So Mr. Liu greeted several staff members to welcome the guests at the door, and he took Huang Hao and Liu Weier toward the venue.
There are several special lounges in the venue. Looking out from the windows in the lounge, it is in the venue. After the auction begins, Huang Hao and the others can sit at the window and watch all the matters of the auction. At this moment, Huang Hao looked at the venue. Even though he was prepared, he was so shocked that he opened his mouth wide. I saw that the venue that was enough to accommodate 3,000 people were already full. Moreover, through Huang Hao's supreme immortal eyes, most of these people had a strong aura, and they were obviously martial arts people.
"Huang Hao, don't be surprised. The Chinese martial arts world has been passed down for thousands of years and has a profound foundation in the earth. Although there are so many people here, it is only a drop in the entire martial arts world." Old Liu said with a laugh. He was very satisfied with Huang Hao's surprised expression at this moment. Huang Hao has always been extremely mature in front of him. Only now does he feel that Huang Hao is still a young man with strong energy and blood.
"It seems that your Liu family has put a lot of effort into promoting this auction." Huang Hao said gratefully.
"It's nothing. Things like strong body soup have never appeared in the martial arts world since ancient times. Now that I have done enough effort, I will have double benefits in the future. Huang Hao, this time the Liu family is not helping you, but helping the Liu family itself. As long as this auction is completed, the Liu family's reputation in the world will naturally increase, especially with channels for strong body soup, which will make other forces in the martial arts world look up to the Liu family. If others want to touch the Liu family, they naturally have to consider it." Old Liu laughed and said, "Even if the Chen family was so aggressive to the Liu family, the Liu family had to restrain themselves after the news of strong body soup was spread. Before we knew whether strong body soup really had such powerful effects, the Chen family would not dare to tease the Liu family easily."
Huang Hao nodded, but his eyes were tightly locked on Old Liu's face. Since Old Liu brought up the huge monster of the Chen family, he naturally wanted to show off with him.
Sure enough, after a brief pause, Old Liu spoke again: "The Chen family is one of the eight first-class families in the capital. Our Liu family is just a second-class family in the capital. Although it is the mainstay of the second-class families, it is still a world of difference compared to first-class families like the Chen family."
"The Liu family has a master of the ninth level of true energy, namely Weier's grandfather, and the contemporary head of the Liu family. However, each of the eight first-class families in the capital has at least a strong man who thinks he is beyond the realm, and the Liu family is very likely to have two!" Old Liu said in a serious tone.
"Two?" Huang Hao was stunned. Old Liu said before that the Chen family wanted to annex the Liu family because the Chen family had a master who was a transcendent realm, which made the Liu family completely unable to resist. In other words, the Chen family had no master who was a transcendent realm before. So, why did the Chen family become one of the eight first-class families in the capital?
"Didn't it..." Huang Hao's eyes widened and suddenly thought of a serious question.
Mr. Liu looked at Huang Hao's expression and said with a wry smile: "You guessed that the Chen family used to have a powerful man who was a transcendent realm, but that was a hundred years ago. The reason why the Chen family was not excluded from the eight first-class families in the capital before was because the transcendent realm master had a very long lifespan, and if nothing unexpected happened, he could live to over 200 years old. The other seven major families were not sure whether the transcendent realm master of the Chen family was dead, so they had never chosen to attack the Chen family. Until a transcendent realm master was released again, the Chen family's status was stabilized again. Even if those forces wanted to take action, it would be too late."
"So that's how it is!" Huang Hao suddenly realized, but another question made Huang Hao a little confused. The Liu family had always been extremely afraid of the Chen family before, but why did he suddenly become unafraid these days? In the car he returned from City G last time, what Mr. Liu suddenly said to him did not just show the Liu family's attitude at this moment?
Mr. Liu has the ability to understand people's hearts. He looked at Huang Hao and said, "Huang Hao, you are wondering why the Liu family is suddenly not afraid of the Chen family. I can't tell you about this for the time being. But what I can tell you is that this variable is because of you!"
"Me?" Huang Hao was even more suspicious. Could it be because of his strong body soup? However, strong body soup has a great effect on people below the master's level, but it has no effect on people above the master's level. Why does a mere body soup change the Liu family?
At this moment, a voice suddenly came from the venue outside: "Dear martial arts fellow workers, ladies and gentlemen, our Yangxu Hall auction is about to begin today. Please be at ease and consciously abide by the order of the venue."
As the sound rang out, the venue suddenly became quiet. No matter how high a person had, he was like a disciplined obedient child, looking at the auctioneer on the stage.
This auctioneer is a middle-aged fat man, and he looks smart. Huang Hao does not know this person. However, through the Supreme Immortal Eyes, Huang Hao immediately knew that this person was actually a master. Although he was not a master, he was at least a first-class master.
Seeing the venue quiet, the auctioneer breathed a sigh of relief, then picked up the microphone and said loudly: "I am honored that everyone will attend this auction. This auction is the largest auction since my Yangxu Hall started. The items auctioned today are extremely precious. Not only are there various precious medicinal materials collected by Yangxu Hall over the years, but also many precious items provided by people from all walks of life. More importantly, in this auction, we will auction a magical medicine called strengthening soup!"
Everyone listened quietly. When the auctioneer mentioned the strong body soup, everyone's faces became exciting. Obviously, most people came here for the magical medicine of strong body soup.
"Okay, let's talk about it for a long story. Here's the first item to be auctioned!" The middle-aged fat man waved his hand, and immediately a staff member walked up with a pallet.
There is a ginseng on the tray. Judging from the size and color of the ginseng, it is absolutely precious and expensive.
"This is an old ginseng plant that has been around for nearly twenty years. It is extremely rare now. The starting price is 100,000 yuan!"
Before the auctioneer finished speaking, the audience started bidding.
"110,000."
"Ten hundred and twenty thousand."
"Frequently Fifty Thousand."
...
Soon, the price of this ginseng plant rose to 800,000 yuan. However, when it reached this level, everyone's interest was obviously not high. In the end, this ginseng plant was bought for 860,000 yuan.
"Haha, look at it, this is just an appetizer." Huang Hao and Liu smiled loudly.
Sure enough, the medicinal materials that appeared next became more and more precious. Even a Polygonum multiflorum that grew into a human form was bought by a martial arts expert. This forced Huang Hao to be amazed at the wealth of these martial arts experts.
"Huang Hao, you don't know that the higher the strength, the more you pay attention to your own safety. Although these medicinal materials are expensive, they are life-saving things at critical moments." Old Liu explained patiently.
"The medicinal materials part of the items have been auctioned, and the next items are entrusted by Yangxutang to auction by various people." The auctioneer always had a gentle and elegant look on his face, and his voice was loud and clear: "I'm welcome to the next item!"
The staff immediately came up with a tray. Seeing the things on the tray, Huang Hao was stunned again. It was not medicinal materials, but an ancient sword.
"Haha, this auction is huge, so naturally some people are interested in entrusting us to auction some rare treasures, and our Yangxu Hall charges a 5% handling fee." Mr. Liu explained.
Huang Hao nodded, and a sudden feeling appeared on his face. If the Liu family didn't take the opportunity to make a fortune in such a large auction, it would be really stupid.
"This sword was created by Gu Fengzi, a master swordsman a hundred years ago. It is extremely sharp and the starting price is 5 million!" The auctioneer said that just now, and the people in the audience couldn't wait to quote again.
"Eight million..."
"Nine million..."
"One thousand one million..."
Soon, this sword was bought for 30 million yuan. Looking at the long number displayed on the electronic screen on the stage, Huang Hao couldn't help but feel a thunderous heart. A sword was sold for 30 million yuan, so what price will his body-strengthening soup reach?
Next, many things were photographed, including weapons, treasures, and even martial arts secrets. Especially that martial arts secret book was actually priced at a terrifying price of 70 million yuan.
Gradually, Huang Hao became numb to these numbers.
At this moment, I took an item on the auction table again. When I saw this item, Huang Hao's brow suddenly broke out. I saw that it was a shabby sachet that looked dull. Even if it was thrown on the ground, few people would pay attention to such a thing.
However, looking at this sachet, Huang Hao's heart was thunderous. He always felt that this sachet was not simple. Subconsciously, Huang Hao's supreme immortal pupil opened silently and looked at the sachet. At this glance, Huang Hao's heart thumped again. Under the gaze of the supreme immortal pupil, Huang Hao could not see through the situation inside the sachet. You must know that in the previous items, even those so-called magic weapons could be seen through under Huang Hao's supreme immortal pupil. Only in this sachet, Huang Hao could not even see through the surface materials.
"This sachet is not simple!" At this moment, Huang Hao immediately made a decision in his heart.
Chapter completed!
