Beast Tamer: Super Lucky Starting Contract
Chapter 179 Auction
After obtaining the characteristic of "Broken Wind Spirit Heart", Xiu Xiu has been constantly trying to break the limit.
It also followed the path of breaking limits, condensing the "Hurricane Barrier" again and again, simplifying it as much as possible, and trying to practice it on a small barrier.
By the end of today's training, I have achieved fruitful results and have basically mastered the method of superimposing wind force in three directions of the mini barrier.
On the day of the auction, Mo Xu ignored Xiu Xiu's complaints and continued to practice his skills with it.
After continuous practice, in the afternoon, Xiu Xiu finally made a breakthrough in the third direction of the small barrier practice, completed the prototype of the mini barrier, and took a crucial step.
It controlled the prototype of a small hurricane barrier and placed it on the ground in the sandstone area. The surrounding small gravels moved with the wind and were rolled up a few centimeters.
Xiuxiu's talent in learning skills is still very unique, so the operation path of this skill has basically been opened up, and the rest is just a matter of hard work.
Not long after, Jiang Jixing called and sent an address, asking Mo Xu to go there.
Just as Xiu Xiu was making good progress, he immediately finished his work and left the school.
……
The address Jiang Jixing sent was in a mansion in the inner ring of Shengcheng City. The wall outside the mansion was quite low-key, with ordinary tiles in a grid pattern and a large rusty and wrinkled iron gate.
After Jiang Jixing welcomed him in, another world immediately appeared. Although it was not magnificent, it had pavilions, towers, and mansions scattered around, and it was ancient and elegant.
The Jiang family is indeed a wealthy family with a long history, as they were able to carve out such a large piece of land in the city center where every inch of land is valuable.
"This way, brother."
The two of them arrived at a large side courtyard. After entering, they separated the courtyard. On the right was a three-story building decorated like a laboratory, while on the left was a Taoist temple. The temple was filled with incense burners, tripods, pots and other utensils, and the air was filled with smoke.
The styles of the two sides are very different and very mixed.
"This is a small pharmacy that my family built in imitation of the pharmacy. Come with me."
After Jiang Jixing's introduction, he continued to lead Mo Xu to the alchemy room on the left, turned a few times, and came to a place where materials were stored.
Mo Xu was very interested. He didn't know much about pharmaceuticals before. He only knew that it was the most popular major in the civil service.
On the way, he saw two alchemists, both with monsters. One monster was a "Sulfur Lizard" and the other was a "Flame Tail Dragon", both of which were fire-type.
Looking at the furnaces and pots here, the method of refining medicine should be very "retro", almost the same as the alchemy method used by Taoists in ancient times on Earth.
As for the laboratory on the other side, it is not difficult to imagine that it should be modern high-tech means.
Jiang Jixing used his fingerprint to open a safe, took out two silver containers, and said, "I was lucky this time, and I got 9 Nebula Pills. I'll take 5, and you take 4, is that okay?"
"Of course, thank you Brother Jiang." Mo Xu happily took the silver container, opened it and took a look. Several silver-white pills sank to the bottom, also sparkling with starlight, which was quite impressive.
When walking out of the pharmacy, Mo Xu couldn't help but ask, "Brother Jiang, is the profit from refining medicine high?"
"There is almost no profit, it's all a loss-making business." Jiang Jixing shook his head and said, "For ordinary drinks and medicines, it is definitely not as cost-effective to make them yourself as to buy them outside, but it is safer to eat them this way. For advanced pill recipes like the Nebula Pill, our family also hired senior pharmacists to make them. Only when the laboratory sometimes tinkers with something new and sells some patents can it make some profit."
"Even the pharmaceutical factory run by the Jiang family has no room for profit. It seems that ordinary people can only earn a living by making medicine. Unless there is some new invention or the medicine-making technology is very advanced." Mo Xu thought to himself, and his enthusiasm for learning medicine-making suddenly cooled.
After staying at the Jiang family for a while and having a simple meal, they set off for the auction.
At the Jiang family, I didn't see the first person under the Venerable, Jiang Hongfang. Jiang Jixing said that the old man had fled from the front line to the capital at the end of October and had never returned.
The end of October should have been a time of political turmoil in China. A confrontation between Venerables took place at that time. Fu Xiu even displayed extremely high strength and almost killed a Venerable. There was also a big shot who relied on the Divine Source Purple Crystal to extend his life.
Mo Xu was half an insider, he guessed that China's masters should have gathered in the capital to discuss and debate national affairs, so it was not surprising that the old man of the Jiang family went there.
Before leaving, Jiang Jixing asked, "Brother, do you want to change your clothes? If you don't mind, there are some clothes at home that have only been worn once or twice."
Mo Xu was not used to wearing suits and ties, so he declined the offer: "No, just a shirt and jeans, comfortable."
"Hahaha, I don't like wearing it either, so let's just treat it as a trip to the vegetable market." Jiang Jixing was also very casual, keeping his daily attire, and took Mo Xu into the driver's car.
The auction was held in a remote suburban area of Shengcheng City, quite a long way away.
On the way, Jiang Jixing gave a brief introduction to the auction. The organizer was a very famous red-top businessman. The auction was held from time to time in the capitals of various military regions, and basically all the guests were well-known figures.
The auction that invited these young people had materials of mid-level epic at best, and most of them were of excellent and outstanding grades. The main selling point was the preciousness of the materials, which were rare in the market.
Of course, there will also be auctions for the older generation. An auction for the older generation in the capital once produced legendary materials.
Mo Xu also asked about some things about refining medicines. Jiang Jixing also knew a little about it and said, "Since you are interested, why not choose a related course in school? They are all professional."
"Oh, that's right." Mo Xu suddenly realized that he was going too far as the school had an elective course on alchemy.
......
The location of the auction was actually just outside the jurisdiction of Shengcheng Military District, which was just right for the protection of the military district. It could be seen that the boss behind this was quite powerful.
Walking into the hall, a low-key and luxurious atmosphere hits you. The lights in the hall are soft and warm, sprinkled on the exquisite decorations, and the floor is covered with dark carpets, which are soft and comfortable, making people slow down their pace involuntarily.
Jiang Jixing was of high status, so a staff member immediately came to lead the way and led them to a private room.
The box is on the second floor, arranged in a circular shape. The wall close to the corridor is directly opened up, so it is more like a stand. From here, you can directly overlook the center of the hall on the first floor, with a good view.
There is also an exquisite decoration in the center of the hall, which will be used as the stage for the auction later.
Many people greeted Jiang Jixing when passing by their box.
What surprised Mo Xu was that many people also knew him and took the initiative to add each other on social media.
Jiang Jixing revealed the secret: "Don't be surprised, brother. You were almost bullied a few days ago. President Yu was so angry that he spread the news in some circles, saying that you are a genius who was protected by the association's leaders. In addition, you are already very famous, so it is normal that many people know you."
After people came and went and most of the guests were seated, a staff member brought them the auction list and the auction finally began.
A soft light came on in the center of the hall, and a female host in an evening dress walked to the center of the hall and picked up the microphone.
"Welcome all distinguished guests to this Bojun auction. I am the auctioneer for this auction. Without wasting your time, let us begin the display of the first item."
The first item that was lifted up was a purple Ganoderma lucidum, about the size of a human head.
"This is a special species of 'Super Ganoderma Lucidum'. It has been ripened by various means and has a medicinal effect of 1200 years. It is very rare. The starting price is 100 contribution points, and each bid must be no less than ."
"Extraordinary Ganoderma..." Mo Xu was no stranger to this thing. When Xiu Xiu was promoted to the spiritual level, he had taken a bite of the one that had a hundred-year medicinal effect.
The level of this resource is not high, but it is a great tonic with mild medicinal effects and is very suitable for absorption.
Moreover, the medicinal effect of five hundred years is extremely rare. Even the ripened ones are rare. The general Ganoderma lucidum can only maintain its medicinal effect for two or three hundred years at most.
If it is a truly wild five hundred year old extraordinary Ganoderma lucidum, it can be comparable to epic materials and the price would probably be sky-high.
"1300 contribution points." A mechanical electronic sound came from the box next to him. Someone pressed the bidding button to start the bidding.
"1400 contribution points."
......
During this period, Jiang Jixing also pressed it once, but did not continue. In the end, the item was bought by someone for 1800 contribution points.
Although Mo Xu also wanted it a little, he felt that the cost-effectiveness was not very high.
The auction continued, and the second item was a primary spiritual-level "Fire Wood Giant", an individual of the "Ironbark Tree" that had evolved specially after being burned by strange fire. If it could find similar strange fires to continuously replenish its potential, its upper limit of growth would be no weaker than that of the king race.
The starting price of this monster was 800 contribution points, and it was finally sold for 1500 contribution points.
Mo Xu was slightly shocked. It seemed that those who came to the auction were either wealthy or noble, and were willing to spend such a huge amount of money.
The auction went smoothly and Jiang Jixing also won one of the "Golden Wing Leaves".
It wasn't until the seventh item that Mo Xu finally got the item he was looking forward to the most, the time-related resource, "Fleeting Amber".
This resource is formed by the extraordinary energy of the time system being sealed by a mineral called "amber ore", which is also the most effective means of artificially preserving time energy.
"The starting price is 2800 contribution points, and each bid increase must not be less than 120."
Mo Xu wanted it very much, but couldn't help but feel that the price was a bit hard to afford.
For the sake of Ah Bing, he still chose to bid.
"2920 contribution points."
"3040 contribution points." Soon a bidder raised the price.
"3640 contribution points." Just when Mo Xu was about to increase the price again, someone in the second box from the left next to him raised the price five times.
"So many people want it?" Mo Xu was stunned for a moment, then he realized that even if there were no time-related monsters, there should be many places where the energy of the time system could be used, such as pharmaceutical manufacturing, scientific research, and refining equipment.
Especially this kind of pure time energy without any functional mixture is more sought after than those in the warehouse.
"3760 contribution points." Mo Xu raised the price again.
"4360 contribution points." It was the same box as before. The man raised the price five times again, as if he was determined to win.
"4480 contribution points." Mo Xu gritted his teeth and added again.
"5080 contribution points."
Another 600 contribution points were added. This time, no one bid higher, and Mo Xu also lowered his hand.
