Longevity: Start with your own wine-making technique

Mr. Long drank too much and fell asleep, snoring loudly.

Without the nagging of the person in front of him, Long Xuan finally focused on the auction.

Only then did I realize that the auction had come to an end unknowingly, and the last auction item was about to be auctioned.

The last auction item was undoubtedly the living tree. Long Xuan immediately became energetic and focused all his attention on the living tree that had just been placed on the auction table.

As soon as the live wood appeared, as expected, there was a commotion in the whole place. Everyone looked at the live wood on the auction table with greedy eyes, their faces were flushed, and their breathing was rapid.

Many Gu kings stood up from their seats, looking at the living wood with burning eyes, as if they had seen a stunning beauty and couldn't wait to possess it.

Although the living tree is not tall, it looks like a human being. There are even hollow eyes and mouths on the trunk. It looks extremely strange.

As soon as the living wood appeared, it immediately attracted everyone's attention. The Gu Kings couldn't move their eyes away at all, as if their souls were absorbed by the living wood.

"Haha, as expected of the Qian Chamber of Commerce, it really values ​​credibility. This living tree has been in the hands of your Chamber of Commerce for such a long time, and not a single piece of bark has fallen off it."

City Lord Yan Pojun took a careful look at the living wood and found that there was no trace of damage, and he sincerely praised it.

He asked himself, if he were guarding the living wood, he would definitely try his best to remove a piece of bark. At worst, he would have to find a scapegoat. The best thing in this world is a reason, and he had too many reasons to excuse himself.

The businessmen of Qian's Chamber of Commerce were the smartest, and they could definitely come up with a reasonable explanation. However, they did not do so. He had to admire the character of Qian's Chamber of Commerce.

Qian Jinjin, who had already appeared on the auction stage, smiled and said: "Qian's Chamber of Commerce has always valued trust. Trust is the foundation of a chamber of commerce. How dare we, the Qian's Chamber of Commerce, forget our roots?"

"Although living wood is heavy, it is not as important as credibility. Nothing can be exchanged for the credibility of Qian's Chamber of Commerce."

As soon as these words came out, all the Gu kings in the room nodded with smiles. Even Long Xuan, who was far away in the Long family's mansion, showed approval. Don't ask him how he heard these people talking. His clone was eager to learn. Having taught myself lip reading, this explanation makes sense.

As the saying goes, there is no limit to one's skills. Long Xuan's unpopular knowledge now goes far beyond just lip reading. He can even open a lock.

"It's getting late, so I won't delay any longer. Everyone here must understand the role of living wood and its value."

"The starting price for live wood is 10 billion! Bidding starts now!"

Qian Jinjin's crisp voice suddenly sounded, and everyone in the audience took a breath.

The starting price was 10 billion spirit stones. Although they had been prepared, they were still shocked by the sky-high price.

What is the concept of ten billion spirit stones? Most of the forces in the Western Territory would not be able to get 10 billion spiritual stones even if they sell off their family property. This number is simply too exaggerated.

But there are many forces that can come up with 10 billion spirit stones. The Qian Chamber of Commerce gave them three months of preparation time, and all the ten major clans in Black Rock City could come up with 10 billion.

But it does not include the Xitulong clan. The Xitulong clan insists on studying the dragon blood battle Gu prescription. It is so expensive to study a top-grade Gu prescription. It is a bottomless pit. Even if you throw 10 billion into it, you may not be able to do it. .

It's already good enough that they don't owe money. Where can they get 10 billion?

All the Dragon Gu Kings present had bitter expressions on their faces. It was impossible for them to be qualified to compete for the living wood. They could only sit below and watch helplessly.

They were so short of money that they didn't spend much on the other treasures sold at the auction. They came here just to watch the excitement and see if there was any opportunity to take advantage of any chaos that might happen next.

The Yao family seems to have withdrawn from the competition. Now the richest person in Blackstone City is probably the Dan family. After all, they are in the elixir business, and the elixir business is definitely one of the most profitable businesses.

The head of the Dan family immediately shouted: "I, the Dan family, will pay 11 billion!"

Everyone in the audience immediately looked at the head of the Dan family and secretly sighed in their hearts.

Good guy, I directly offered 11 billion, without even batting an eyelid. It seems that 11 billion is far from the limit of Dan’s family. Dan’s wealth is indeed well-deserved.

However, even though the head of the Dan family has shouted out a sky-high price of 11 billion, compared to the value of the living wood, it is still too cheap and far from enough. How can he scare people if he just adds a billion?

Soon someone shouted again: "I will pay 15 billion!"

The sudden voice startled everyone. Good guy, just increase the price by four billion. This is crazy. Who is so rich? Everyone looked at the bidder.

Everyone was shocked when they discovered that the clothes of the person in private room No. 3 had a big word "cai" embroidered on them.

What a good guy, he actually belongs to the Cai Chamber of Commerce. Only Cai merchants dress like this. He wears a gold ingot-like hat on his head, and he is full of wealth.

The Cai Chamber of Commerce has the God of Wealth Gu, which can gather wealth, but a cross-domain chamber of commerce that is as famous as the Qian Chamber of Commerce is too rich.

I am afraid that only the Cai Chamber of Commerce can easily bid 15 billion and never take this exaggerated figure seriously.

Seeing that the bidder was the Cai Chamber of Commerce, everyone was not surprised by the price.

Seeing that the bidder was the Cai Chamber of Commerce, the head of the Dan family suddenly felt his heart sink.

No matter how rich the Dan family is, how can he be richer than a large chamber of commerce?

Those large chambers of commerce have ways to avoid all kinds of dangers along the way, so they can make a lot of money by going to major regions and doing business of buying low and selling high.

Although the Dan family made a lot of money from selling Wang Dan, compared with those large chambers of commerce, it was nothing. In terms of financial resources, the Dan family could not even hope to compete with the Cai Chamber of Commerce.

The head of the Dan family looked at his face and slowly sat down. He had given up on bidding.

Although he, Dan, could still offer a higher price, he knew that he would definitely not be able to compete with the Cai Chamber of Commerce for financial resources. It would be better to just give up. It would be a waste of time to continue to increase prices.

At this time, all the Gu kings in Black Rock City showed bitter expressions. Now it seems that no local force in Black Rock City has the qualifications to compete for the living wood.

In the end, the live wood will only be taken away by the forces in the fringe areas, and they can only be spectators on their home court.

There is no way, the promotion time is too long, attracting too many external forces who are not short of money.

The Cai Chamber of Commerce originally did not do business in the West, but they did not expect to be attracted by a living tree.

With the Cai Chamber of Commerce joining the bidding, all the forces in Black Rock City are useless.

"Fifteen billion, is there any higher price? Fifteen billion once!"

Qian Jinjin's sudden voice finally brought the stunned people back to their senses.

Just when they thought no one dared to compete with the Cai Chamber of Commerce for financial resources, another voice sounded from Private Room No. 1.

"Our Dayin Dynasty has produced 20 billion spiritual stones!"

As soon as the sky-high price of 20 billion was announced, the whole audience gasped again. Everyone immediately focused their attention on Private Room No. 1, with shock in their eyes.

It turned out to be the Dayin Dynasty, a country.

If there is any force with financial resources that can compete with a large chamber of commerce, it can only be the treasury of a country.

The Dayin Dynasty is a super empire from the moon and the earth. The finances of a super empire can compete with the Cai Chamber of Commerce in terms of financial resources.

Seeing a national force joining the fight for the living wood, everyone's eyes flickered.

In the Western Land, power is based on family units, not a country.

National civilization can only be seen when you go to the center of Gu Realm. In the Yue Tu, which is immediately east of the West Tu, there is national civilization, and the Dayin Dynasty is one of them.

Obviously, three months of publicity is enough to attract national-level forces.

No country is short of money. With the Dayin Dynasty participating in the bidding, the transaction price of live wood may reach the sky.

In Private Room No. 3, a middle-aged fat man exuding the aura of the peak Gu King stood up, glanced sideways at Private Room No. 1, frowned slightly, and showed a solemn expression.

I didn't expect that a country would take action. It is not difficult for a country to spend tens of billions. It seems that if you want to win this living tree, Cai will have to bleed a lot!

After Cai Xuan was silent for a moment, he directly called out the price: "My Cai's Chamber of Commerce will offer 40 billion spiritual stones!"

He knew that it was not difficult for a country to come up with 40 billion, so he didn't bother to increase the price step by step, and directly shouted out the Cai Chamber of Commerce's bottom line. If the Dayin Dynasty could exceed this price, then the Cai Chamber of Commerce would give up on living wood. The competition was over.

As soon as this price came out, the whole audience was shocked again. 40 billion was simply a frightening price. It was too arrogant. This was a number that no one could imagine. At this time, they clearly understood that a large chamber of commerce How terrifying is his financial resources?

And how many Gu Kings can a person who can take out so many spirit stones casually produce? No one can imagine it.

There were five people sitting in Private Room No. 1. One of them was an old man wearing silver and luxurious clothes. He had a majestic look on his face and released the terrifying aura of the Gu King at its peak.

Luo Yu glanced sideways in the direction of Private Room No. 3, showed a disdainful look, and said, "Forty billion spiritual stones should be your bottom line, right?"

"Then I won't spend more, I will spend 40.1 billion spiritual stones."

In Private Room No. 3, Cai Xuan smiled: "Haha, 40 billion is far from the bottom line of my Cai Chamber of Commerce. The foundation of my Cai Chamber of Commerce is more than 100 billion?"

"It's just that it's not worth it to pay a higher price. A product must not only consider its own value, but also the risks that come with it."

"Even if our Cai Chamber of Commerce actually takes pictures of the live wood today, it's not 100% possible to take it away. It's a big risk to pay 40 billion. Who knows, the 40 billion will be wasted."

"Considering the risks of the live wood itself, we, the Cai Chamber of Commerce, gave up the bid."

"Although you have an extra 100 million spiritual stones to take pictures of this living tree today, I want to see if you can take the living tree away safely today."

"With so many Gu Kings gathered here, how likely is it that you will be attacked once you leave the city?"

"Black Rock City is too far away from Dayin Imperial City, and there are too many accidents that can happen during such a long journey."

"I'm sure you won't be able to safely bring the living wood back to Dayin Imperial City." Cai Xuan sneered.

"Haha! I don't need to worry about whether I can bring the live wood back safely."

"Since I dare to take action, I am absolutely sure to bring the living wood back."

Luo Yu glanced in Caixuan's direction and showed a confident smile.
