Chapter 1056 – Open for me
This might be the first time someone had swapped a Essence Crystal into a Golden-Rank Spirit Stone in an auction house. So at this moment, everyone realized that the person who had seen Xun Anhui had only one piece of Essence Crystal, and this piece of Essence Crystal was given to him by Zhang Suian.
“The Xun family is huge, and has a few tens of generations of distinguished people in their family. This Young Master Xun, on the other hand … “Interesting, I didn’t bring anything when I went out.”
“If you ask me, maybe he is just a scammer. Didn’t you see him reaching out his hand to ask Eldest Manager Zhang Suian for that piece of Essence Crystal? This person is really thick-skinned. He immediately stuck to the Xiahou Family’s princess and even extended his hand to ask for the Essence Crystal. It seems that he really doesn’t know how to write the word shameless. ”
Another person said, “In my opinion, this guy is just an embroidered pillow. It looks bright and beautiful, but in reality, it’s just a straw that’s wrapped around his stomach.”
“But you can’t put it that way. Young master Xun Anhui seems to have a great reputation.”
“What’s the use of having a great reputation, isn’t it all because of his family’s influence?”
“Let’s just watch and watch. Let’s see what tricks he can come up with.”
The servant of the auction house looked at Zhang Suian with a stupefied expression, who nodded to him. This was truly an unexpected trade, this piece of Essence Crystal was given by Zhang Suian, and now he had to exchange it for the Golden-Rank Spirit Stone.
Very quickly, the little fellow exchanged for a few hundred Golden-Rank Spirit Stone. Actually, An Zheng had the Golden-Rank Spirit Stone with him, but he could not reveal it.
“Please take a look.”
Zhang Suian made a gesture of invitation and immediately retreated to the side. Everyone had a strong urge to gamble, so they went up on stage to observe. An Zheng was a little perturbed at the start. After all, he had never seen a stone from that era, and one that was a mountain range. However, An Zheng had Heaven’s Eyes on him, so he was not afraid.
Those well-known figures went up one after another, but the wonder of the Mysterious Stone of Mount Qishan was that it could not tell anything from its appearance, nor could it be judged from its aura. The Mountain Splitting Stone looked no different from an ordinary stone, but its material was much harder, so any magic tool below the Golden-Rank was simply unable to break through it. This was also the only way to differentiate between normal stones and Mountain Crystal. The strong outer shell made it impossible for ordinary cultivators to open it even if they obtained it.
Xiahou Changshu looked at An Zheng with interest, wanting to see what this strong and handsome youth wanted to do to prove himself.
She did not suspect An Zheng’s identity. After all, the identity token of the Xun family was not something that anyone could casually obtain, and people without an invitation would not be able to enter anyway. To be honest, she really liked this young man. She felt that it would be quite a while before she would be lonely again.
“Why didn’t you choose?”
she asked.
An Zheng shook his head: “There’s no rush, let’s wait for them to pick the leftovers first.”
“You are quite a strange person. Being attacked by others is something that you can’t wait to do, for fear that the good things would be taken away by someone else first. You, on the other hand, have to wait for others to pick the leftovers. I don’t know if you are being careful or silly, but … Your silly, confident look is really likable. ”
She reached out to touch An Zheng’s face, but An Zheng subconsciously avoided it. Xiahou Changshu’s eyes flickered, but he quickly smiled even more happily: “Hide from me? If you want to avoid me, you shouldn’t have come here from the beginning. But if you still want to avoid me, don’t you think it’s too late? ”
An Zheng said: “I am not hiding from you, I just need to focus, I need to look up there.”
Xiahou Changshu laughed until the branches in front of his chest started to shake, and the two lumps of fat on his chest also started to shake. She was the kind of woman who exuded the aura of a mature woman. Her figure was not exceptionally skinny and beautiful, but rather slightly fleshy. The most attractive part of her was his slightly thickened lips. It was the dazzling thing that stuck out on her chest.
“Good, good, good. My little man is really handsome when he focuses.”
Every stone was priced at eighty Golden-Rank Spirit Stone, this was already outrageously high. One piece of low-ranked Essence Crystal would only be worth two hundred, and if he couldn’t get something out, all eighty of the Golden-Rank Spirit Stone would be gone. Even if he found a Essence Crystal, it wouldn’t earn him much. The Essence Crystal that An Zheng had obtained was of a pretty good grade, so he had exchanged it for more than three hundred pieces of Golden-Rank Spirit Stone.
A fatty pushed everyone aside. An Zheng could tell from the discussions that this person was called Xu, and was the brother of the super strong warrior of the Wei Nation, Xu Zhe. Relying on his younger brother’s status aigh ranking general in the Polygonum cuspidatum Thunb, Xu Shiyan could be considered to be extremely domineering and did not place anyone in his eyes. Even to General Zhang Yuan, he did not have much respect for him. After all, in front of the Polygonum cuspidatum Thunb Emperor, Xu Zhe had the upper hand.
He made a gesture to push the person in front of him away and walked alone along the long and huge platform.
“I want them all.”
After he suddenly said this sentence, everyone became furious.
“I said I want them all.”
Xu Guoliang swept his gaze across everyone present and asked, “Any of you want to fight with me for it?”
Zhang Suian did not dare offend him, and laughed awkwardly: “Master Hou, doing this doesn’t seem to be too good …. Not so good. Since we are all friends invited by General Zhang, and Master Hou wants all of them now, we can’t play anymore. ”
“What do I care?”
Snorting, he continued, “Don’t use your General Zhang to pressure me, is he able to hold me back? Even if he, Zhang Yuan, was here, I would still say it. Why? Did the auction house havule that not a single person was allowed to buy everything? If you dare to say that the auction house has such a rule, I will leave immediately. ”
The auction house naturally did not have such rules, so Zhang Suian did not know what to do in that moment. Everyone knew that Xu Zhe was arrogant and despotic because he had obtained power beside the Polygonum cuspidatum Thunb Emperor. Everyone felt uncomfortable inside, but they could not afford to offend him. On the Polygonum cuspidatum Thunb’s side, there were more super strong warriors than the people in Shu. However, the one who was ranked first on the side of Wei Guo, Dian Hu, had died. Xu Zhe, who was ranked second, had become much stronger.
The Polygonum cuspidatum Thunb Emperor could not leave Xu Zhe, and only Xu Zhe had the power to resist him. Thus, no matter how arrogant and tyrannical he was, no one would dare to say a word when they were angry. And amongst this group of people, the only one who wasn’t afraid of making promises was Xiahou Changshu.
Xia Hou Chun was the Polygonum cuspidatum Thunb Emperor’s old uncle. No matter how crazy he was, he knew who he should not offend and who he should not. Right now, he clearly wanted Xiahou Changshu’s attitude. As long as Xiahou Changshu didn’t stand out, he wasn’t afraid of anyone.
“Words?”
He slapped a few Essence Crystal on the table and asked, “Is that enough?”
Currently, the stone of Mount Qishan laid on the table was in one of the big boxes, and there were three of them. He had taken over a box of the Mountain Crystal Stone all by himself, and no one dared to speak when they were angry. Xiahou Changshu of course didn’t say anything, because she was clear that she knew his limits. At most, he would dare to take a box of something.
“Milord.”
An Zheng suddenly stood up and glared at him.
She reached out to grab An Zheng’s clothes, but An Zheng had already stepped out.
“What? Kid of the Xun family, do you want to compete with me?”
“No, no, no. Since Lord Xu has said he will take it, who would dare to challenge him?” I just wanted to make use of Master Xu’s courage to open urap … Let’s take a gamble. Everyone can take a gamble. There were a total of nine stones on the table. Everyone was betting on how many Essence Crystal would come out? If we win, then we take all of our bets. This way, everyone can be considered to be participating. ”
He smiled and thought to himself that this kid from the Xun family was indeed a smart person. This way, he could not only dissolve the previous awkwardness, but also lessen the resentment of the others.
“Sure.”
He waved his hand and said, “Mister Qian, come over.”
The person called Mr. Qian was one of the advisers beside him. He looked like an old scholar. He walked with his head lowered and had a slight hunchback. The commoners have a saying, a man with his head lowered cannot offend … Judging from his appearance, this person seemed to have some ulterior motives.
“Master Hou, what orders do you have?”
“Since this Young Master Xun has already opened the gambling house, of course I can’t decline. You can place your bets for me in this external situation. I’ve already bought all the stones, so how about I buy a few for you to place your bet? ”
Mr. Qian’s face turned dark as he looked over all the stones one by one. After pondering for a while, he seemed to lack confidence and walked back to look at them again. He went back to Xu and said in a low voice, “From the texture, these stones should all have something inside, but I’m not sure if it’s all Essence Crystal s. So, Master Hou can bet on whether there’s anything, not on whether there are Essence Crystal s. ”
“Alright!”
“Everyone knows the wonders of the Mysterious Stone of Mount Qishan, so we won’t say whether there are treasures inside or not, and just say that there are no Essence Crystal s. “If I am lucky, I might be able to open some rare heavenly resources.”
An Zheng said: “Since Master Hou has said so, of course we cannot say no. But it should be more detailed, if the item is worth even less than the Golden-Rank Spirit Stone, then it can’t be considered a treasure. ”
“Of course. Since I have bought all nine of these Mountain Crystal Stones, I am, of course, the dealer. If all of your bets are not accurate, then all of the bets will belong to me. I bet that with my luck, all of the Mountain Crystal would be able to find something. ”
Giving Mr. Qian a look, Mr. Qian nodded to him that there was no problem.
“Who’s going to bet?”
An Zheng walked to the rocks and looked at them as well, then sighed: “Looks like the Marquis has won this time.”
He moved to the side and sat down, as if he had given up. When the crowd saw that he had given up, and that no one was willing to bet, the scene suddenly became boring. This made Xu Que feel a bit embarrassed. He coughed a few times and said, “What, a bunch of cowards? All of you don’t seem to be gutless. You don’t even have a single bet? “How about this, I’ll bet a bit more. I’ll double the amount if the one who bet is the right one.”
However, no one moved. Some people looked at An Zheng, but An Zheng sat as steady as a mountain.
“Three times!”
Then he shouted, “Three times, is there anyone willing to bet?!”
“Four times!”
At first, he had thought that if there was no one to play with, then there would be no point. Now that he saw that everyone was so scared that they didn’t dare to bet, he couldn’t help but feel a sense of accomplishment.
“Should I say that you are all smart people, or that you are all cowards? No matter what, you are all reputable figures of Polygonum cuspidatum Thunb, why are all of you acting like turtles hiding your heads? Hahaha … If no one wishes to place any more bets, then I will have to accept the ‘Qi Shan’ stone in the box behind us. ”
Everyone was so angry that their faces turned white. However, no one dared to step out and gamble. That Mister Qian is a famous appraiser in the Polygonum cuspidatum Thunb, he must have all the treasures when he said so.
“It really is rather boring.”
An Zheng stood up and said: “Since everyone feels that there is no chance of victory, then let’s just forget about it.”
Promise: “Five times! I’ll give five times as much, one to five. If anyone wins, I will compensate you five times more! ”
The corner of An Zheng’s mouth raised imperceptibly, as if he was forced into a corner: “If there’s no one to accompany Master Hou, Master Hou would feel that it’s meaningless. How about this, since I only have this much on hand, it’s wortiece of Essence Crystal, I’ll treat it as giving it to Master Hou as a friend, I bet …”
He casually walked tock and said, “This one doesn’t have any!”
At first, Mr. Qian was a little nervous, but when he saw the rock that An Zheng placed his bet on, he immediately relaxed.
“Hahahaha, I’m making this friend of yours.”
He plopped back on his chair and pointed at Mr. Qian. “Open it!”
“Wait a minute!”
An Zheng suddenly walked over with an apologetic face and took back a third of his bet from the Golden-Rank Spirit Stone. “That’s all I have.
“Hahahaha, how could that be? Take it back and take it.”
He waved his hand and said proudly, “Open!”
