Rebirth after Divorce
Chapter 49
The new semester passed little by little with everyone getting along more and more harmoniously, and the relationship between Luo Xiao and Ye Lan was also gradually deepening.
Three weeks later, on a Sunday, Mr. Huo took an unremarkable cloth bag, and set off with Luo Xiao and Ye Lan to participate in the first half of the auction held by the Sidley Auction House in S City.No way, the reason why he brought Ye Lan this time is because he asked his grandfather to enter the auction smoothly.
"Come on, Xiaoxiao, Ye boy, you two take this pill." Mr. Huo handed them two small black pills before going out.
"Master, what is this?" Luo Xiao asked suspiciously after taking the pill.
Mr. Huo smiled mysteriously, then put the same pill into his mouth and swallowed it in front of them, and then he saw the surprised eyes of the two of them as he wished.
"Master, this, this is..." Luo Xiao was startled, he didn't expect that there would be such a magical pill in this world.
That's right, don't underestimate this humble little pill, it is a magical transformation pill.It can not only change a person's external appearance and height, but also form a corresponding personal temperament.
After taking the medicine, the three looked at the unfamiliar faces, and smiled with satisfaction.Good, so no one will be able to track them down later.After all, the effect of this pill is different for everyone.And, even if the same person takes it every time, it's never going to be the same day.This is really a must-have item for traveling at home and killing people!
Of course, it is impossible to make such a heaven-defying pill so easily.Otherwise, if someone takes advantage of it, the society will be in chaos?Therefore, few people know about this pill even for those who practice it, let alone ordinary people.
And Mr. Huo only has less than ten pills handed down from the previous generation of masters. Excluding the three pills he used when he was young and the three pills this time, there are only four pills left in stock. .Once these four are used up, there is no place to replenish them.After all, there is no one in this world who can make such a pill.Even if there is, it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice now that the key raw materials are extinct.
Of course, some people once asked whether it can be replaced by another thing, but unfortunately, after several generations of hard work, it still failed.Even if it succeeds, the effect will be greatly reduced. It can only slightly change a person's appearance, so don't think about height and temperament.
"By the way, master, how long can this last?" Luo Xiao couldn't help being curious, pulling Ye Lan back and forth to look at it for a long time.
Mr. Huo raised his head and thought for a while, "Well, I remember it was like ten hours."
Ye Lan calculated the time carefully. Excluding the time on the road and the usual auction time, there was still more than an hour left, well, it was enough.
The three of them deliberately chose a complicated route, and it took nearly an hour to finally arrive at their destination - Sidley's Auction House.
Looking at the ordinary two-story bungalow in front of him like the one next to it, Luo Xiao would never have imagined that this is the famous Shengde Auction House, not to mention that there is a house number at the door that is not hung at all. The signboard of the auction house.
"Let's go." Mr. Huo nodded to them, and then calmly pressed the doorbell at the door.
"Hello, who are you looking for?" A young guy in a blue gown came out with a smile and asked softly through the big iron gate.
Mr. Huo took out a golden invitation card with dark red retro shading printed on it from his cloth bag. The young guy took it over and checked it carefully, then returned the card to Mr. Huo with both hands, and smiled more sincerely The opened iron gate ushered them into the house.
"Guys, this is your mask. Let's go this way, please be careful of the steps under your feet." After another waiter handed them the mask that had been prepared, he led them into the comment room on the second floor .
"The things you want to auction, our appraiser will come over later. Please drink some tea and wait a while." After the waiter finished speaking, he closed the door gently and walked out.
At this time, the three people relaxed a little and looked at the layout of the room.This is a room with walls on three sides and glass on one side. Through the glass, you can clearly see the lobby on the first floor.
An auction stand was set up in the middle of the hall on the first floor to display goods. Around the stand were three rows of well-arranged mahogany tables and chairs. There were roughly forty or fifty of them.
Moreover, Luo Xiao discovered that because the second floor is round as a whole, he can clearly see the appearance of other rooms. It seems that the decoration style is the same.
Not long after the three of them sat down, there was a knock on the door. After the old man answered, a middle-aged man opened the door and walked in.
"Everyone, hello. My surname is Song, and I am appraiser No. 032 of Shengde Auction House." The middle-aged man said with a smile, "I don't know, what do you want to auction this time?"
Mr. Huo glanced at him calmly. Unexpectedly, Sidley's Auction House really lived up to its reputation, and even an appraiser was a hidden person.He opened the cloth bag on his body, carefully took out the book from inside, and handed it out after repeated reluctance in his eyes, "This is the thing, take a look."
In fact, the middle-aged man had already seen the book clearly at the same time he took it out. After taking it with trembling hands and looking at it, a bright color appeared in his eyes. He immediately said to Mr. Huo in a more respectful tone: "Dear guest, your item is too valuable, please wait a moment, I will send someone to invite our master over and wait for him to decide."
"Well, okay, you go." Mr. Huo looked at him and nodded.
Then the middle-aged man carefully returned the things to Mr. Huo, then walked quickly to the door, opened the door and summoned a waiter to invite someone, while he was here as a respectful company.
After a while, there was a sound of hurried footsteps at the door.Sure enough, the next thing was someone pushed the door open.A white-haired man in his 30s appeared in front of everyone. The middle-aged man stepped forward and said, "Master, they are the ones who want to auction that book."
The white-haired man's eyes were fixed on the book that was placed on the table at the moment, with an uncontrollable excitement on his face.Back then, it was fine that he had gray hair due to a slight deviation in his cultivation. What was even more troublesome was that the spiritual power in his body was constantly being lost, and his strength dropped a lot.
And the book Luo Xiao took out can not only be used to improve their strength, but also has the effect of tempering their bodies.For a person like him whose body has been damaged, the effect is even more remarkable.So, no matter what, he must buy this book.
Suppressing his excitement, the white-haired man looked at Mr. Huo with a smile: "Hi, may I ask, you want to auction such a thing, right?"
Although Mr. Huo wanted to say no, he nodded reluctantly when he thought of his apprentice.Now, the white-haired man became even more excited, "Look, is this good? I bought this thing directly, so it won't be auctioned anymore, can I?"
"Huh?" Mr. Huo hesitated a little when he heard it.
The white-haired man immediately said first: "Dear guests, don't worry, I will never treat you badly in terms of price. How about it, 500 million?"
500?When Luo Xiao heard this number, he was surprised. Although he had thought that the book might exceed one million, but it was five million all of a sudden. Why did he suddenly feel that money is not money?Of course, when he thinks about those more advanced books on cultivation in his own space, he is in a bad mood.I didn't expect, I didn't expect that the value of these books would be so high!
Luo Xiao sneaked a glance at his master, and saw that the old man still looked calm. Could it be that the master still thinks the price is not high enough?But, he thinks it's already high?Well, please forgive him for becoming a monk halfway, and he doesn't understand the current situation in the cultivation world at all.
The white-haired man saw the situation, gritted his teeth, and said again: "Well, I'll add 300 million more. In addition, you can buy three things at this auction, and they will all be given to you for free."
When Mr. Huo heard this, he smiled with satisfaction in his heart. Sure enough, Mr. Ye was right. Look, the other party immediately raised the price.Well, seeing that he is bleeding so much, it's better to accept it as soon as he sees it.
So, Mr. Huo pretended to be struggling, but reluctantly handed the book to the white-haired man.The white-haired man immediately stepped forward to pick it up excitedly, then gave instructions to the middle-aged man, and hurriedly left the room.
The middle-aged man smiled and invited them to take a seat, "Everyone, we will prepare your money for you later. In 10 minutes, our auction will start. There are three people participating in the auction. Ten items, if you have something you value, you can participate in the auction, and we will send someone to deliver the items you have auctioned. If you need anything else, you can ask the waiter at the door for help. Then, I will leave first." Said Finished, and after nodding with everyone, the middle-aged man also exited the room.
When there were only the three of them left in the room again, Luo Xiao couldn't help but give a thumbs up: "Master, you are amazing! You actually let the other party raise the price so much." You know, at the current 800 yuan In the era when households were rare, these [-] million are equivalent to future billionaires, okay?
Mr. Huo raised his head in shock, hum, wouldn't he say that he relied on someone's tip!
Soon, there was a sound of opening from below, and the auction officially started.
Three weeks later, on a Sunday, Mr. Huo took an unremarkable cloth bag, and set off with Luo Xiao and Ye Lan to participate in the first half of the auction held by the Sidley Auction House in S City.No way, the reason why he brought Ye Lan this time is because he asked his grandfather to enter the auction smoothly.
