The Adventure of All Worlds Starting from Doupo
Chapter 205: The local tyrant takes action, who can compete with him?
"2000 million! My Yunlan Sect is willing to offer 2000 million!" Yun Yun gritted her teeth and spit out this astonishing figure.
The audience in the stands were numb. The surge in numbers was so huge that it had shattered many people's values.
Jia Xingtian drank a mouthful of the red wine slowly and touched the little head of his great-granddaughter in his arms.
"My little Ye'er, what price do you think Grandfather should offer?"
Yao Ye pouted her little mouth. She was already six years old and often watched her father, the emperor, handle state affairs. Through what she saw and heard, she had some opinions of her own.
"Although his grandfather wants to buy this alchemy furnace to bribe that young master Xiao Zhen, if too much money is spent, it will also affect the national treasury, which will have a significant impact on the country!" Yao Ye looked at Jia Xingtian carefully, his eyes full of light, and continued to speak vividly:
"3000 million gold coins, this is the final bottom line. If we exceed this number, I'm afraid the salaries of some troops and officials will be affected!"
Jia Xingtian nodded with satisfaction. What his precious great-granddaughter said was absolutely right. However, his bottom line in his heart was only 2500 million. It seemed that his vision was still too small.
Jia Xingtian said loudly: "Our royal family will pay 2100 million!"
"Ah!" Xiao Lin sighed helplessly, and said to Xiao Zhen dejectedly: "I'm sorry, Zhen'er, the current price is no longer something that our Xiao family can afford!"
Xiao Zhen was also a little unwilling to give up. He still had quite a few treasures, for example, the earth-level skills and fighting techniques he had obtained from an unlucky time traveler in the past. If he sold them at a low price now, he should be able to sell them for 10 or 20 million.
"2500 million! Seeing how interested everyone is, I guess you won't mind an old man like me joining in the fun!"
Just when everyone thought that the Yunlan Sect was about to make an offer, an old yet deep voice suddenly echoed throughout the hall.
Many people present were shocked. Even this old guy was eliminated. It seemed that the royal family and the Yunlan Sect had a super strong competitor.
As the window of a private room opened, a skinny old man in an alchemist's robe appeared inside.
When many alchemists saw the old man again, they all showed respect in their eyes. This old man was none other than Xiao Zhen's mentor, Fa Ma, the number one alchemist in the Jia Ma Empire at that time.
Jia Xingtian narrowed his eyes. He didn't expect that even this old guy would end up like this. It seems that it is impossible to take a picture of this alchemy furnace today.
"Fama, I didn't expect that an old fellow like you would actually take action, and you are so patient." Jia Xingtian couldn't help but tease this old friend.
Fa Ma just laughed and responded bluntly: "Nothing, I just saw you, old man Jia, fighting so fiercely with that girl from Yunlan Sect, so I felt itchy. You shouldn't give me any suggestions, old man!"
Jia Xingtian laughed and said, "How dare I compete with President Fa Ma? Otherwise, you old fellow will cut off my royal family's elixir supply, and I will have no place to cry when the time comes!"
The royal family also kept a group of alchemists, but the highest rank was only three at the fourth rank, plus a new fifth rank alchemist Mitchell who had completely defected not long ago.
These alchemists alone are far from enough to meet the needs of the royal family. I don’t know how many pills I have to import from the Alchemist Guild every year to distribute to the troops and officials who need rewards. Otherwise, how can I win over people’s hearts?
Fa Ma glanced at the private room of the Yun Lan Sect again and said with a gentle smile, "Old Jia has given up. I wonder if Sect Master Yun wants to continue to raise the price?"
Yun Yun bowed slightly to Fa Ma and said respectfully, "Since Fa Ma has taken a fancy to it, how dare this junior snatch it from you, senior!"
Although Yun Yun surrendered verbally, she was very unconvinced in her heart. Although the Yunlan Sect had a strong foundation, it was really no match for the Alchemist Guild in terms of making money.
The Alchemist Guild can make huge profits by selling pills.
On the other hand, the Yunlan Sect does not have any serious business at all. What it does have is just some financial support from the vassal families.
Of course, in order to hone its disciples, the Yunlan Sect would occasionally take on some small tasks, such as eliminating some of the most evil guys, which would then earn a considerable amount of money.
In the end, no one dared to bid. After all, no one had the financial resources to go head-to-head with the president of the Alchemist Guild.
During the auction, the old man didn't feel disappointed when he saw that no one was bidding against him. After all, the current price was already sky-high, and he really couldn't expect it to be any higher.
After a moment, Fa Ma looked at the ordinary gray alchemy furnace in his hand and nodded with satisfaction. Although it didn't look anything special, as an experienced alchemist, he could tell its extraordinaryness at a glance.
"What a treasure! It's a pity that I'm old, but I can find you a new owner, a more suitable owner than me!"
After Fa Ma finished muttering, he instructed the beautiful assistant Li Mei behind him: "Xiao Mei! Please go and invite my little apprentice over. Today, as a master, I have to give him a big gift!"
Li Mei nodded and retreated respectfully. She had almost guessed what Fa Ma wanted, and a hint of envy flashed in her eyes.
Xiao Zhen was young, but not only had he been able to make a fifth-grade elixir, he also had a teacher whom he valued so much.
Every time Li Mei thought of Xiao Zhen's handsome face, her long legs would tremble constantly and she would start to imagine some unrealistic scenes in her mind.
At this moment, in the private room of the Xiao family, Xiao Zhen said with emotion: "It's really like a mantis stalking a cicada, unaware of the oriole behind. I didn't expect that my teacher would succeed in the end!"
Die looked at him with amusement and said speechlessly: "It has nothing to do with who made the first move or who made the second move. The key point is that the one with money is the winner."
Xiao Zhen also nodded in agreement. If he had 1 million gold coins, no one present would dare to compete with him, including his cheap master.
"Cousin Xiao Zhen, there is a pharmacist girl at the door who wants to see you. It seems to be an order from your guild master!"
Xiao Zhen listened to the news from a clan member next to him and couldn't help but look towards the door. It was indeed the beautiful assistant of his teacher.
Xiao Zhen slowly walked to the door, held out his big thing, and said with a polite smile: "I don't know what Miss Li Mei wants to see me about. Is it that the teacher has any instructions?"
Li Mei nodded with a smile and said in a gentle voice: "It is indeed as Master Xiao Zhen said. The president has invited you. He hopes to meet you now!"
Xiao Zhen's eyes rolled around, and he kept thinking in his mind, what did the teacher want to talk to him about at this time? Could it be that he wanted to give him the Tianyan Furnace that he had just bought at the auction?
Xiao Zhen's heart became hot when he thought of this possibility. Although it was a bit embarrassing to accept the benefit from Fa Ma so directly, he had to be thick-skinned at this time, otherwise how could he win the alchemist competition next month.
If he wins, he can also bring honor to his teacher Fa Ma. Xiao Zhen finally found an excuse for himself in his heart.
Looking at Xiao Zhen's departing figure, the remaining members of the Xiao family were filled with envy.
The old guy Fa Ma just showed off his wealth, which has confirmed the fact that he is the richest man in the Gama Empire.
After all, who wouldn't want to have some connection with a rich person? Especially when he is a disciple of a rich person.
