Chapter 431 Xuan Turtle Pill
As Lin Tianxiao finished speaking, a tacit silence fell over the surroundings. Twelve million was no small sum; even the most powerful families might not be able to come up with it immediately.
Seeing that the people around him were not saying much, Lin Tianxiao smiled slightly and then said:
"Please raise the price, everyone."
"Thirteen million!"
The people around looked at each other in bewilderment, but soon someone spoke up. As soon as the voice fell, it was like a thousand waves were stirred up. In just a moment, many more people came up to raise the price, but the voices of raising the price were somewhat weak.
After all, not many people can buy this kind of thing. Generally speaking, things that are not worth much are only taken by wealthy families, while things of higher value like this are only fought over by powerful families.
"Twenty million!"
Seeing this, Ye Ru stood up and shouted in a voice unique to the room. As soon as he said this, everyone's expression changed. Twenty million was no small sum.
"interesting."
Shi Yu's gaze shifted to the distance, where she spotted Ye Ru. She then gave a mocking laugh and said...
Under the watchful eyes of many, Ye Ru remained silent after shouting those words. Twenty million taels of silver was enough for the people of a county to live on for a year, and he only had Sacred Leaves to offset those twenty million. If he raised the price too high, he would have to use a large amount of Sacred Leaves to make up for it. If the news leaked out, he would be in big trouble.
"Twenty-three million!"
After Ye Ru took a sip of tea, another voice rang out. Ye Ru looked over and saw that the person was wearing the robes of a noble family, but judging from his appearance, he seemed to be from a miscellaneous family.
"Twenty-five million."
Seeing this, Shi Yu knew it was time to raise the price, and then said.
The price of Shi Yu caused a change in the expression of this miscellaneous person. After pondering for a moment, he finally sat down reluctantly.
After the 25 million was brought out, everyone present weighed their own possessions, but all of them shook their heads.
No one spoke for a long time, and even Ye Ru did not raise the price again. In the end, Shi Yu got the Xuan Gui Dan.
"Young master, our purpose in coming here is that jade pendant. Isn't it a bit too much of a waste to spend so much money on this?"
A scholar standing next to Shi Yu said this.
"How is that possible? This is something that can extend one's lifespan by fifteen years. If we had this, perhaps Father could break through to the level of a half-saint and reach the same level as our ancestors in his lifetime."
Shi Yu shook his head, staring intently at the Xuan Turtle Pill. Fifteen years was enough to comprehend a classic text of saints. Although the chances of success were slim, it was better than nothing.
"Next up is the second-to-last pawned item in this Dragon Codex. This pawned item is extremely valuable. Can you guess what it is?"
Lin Tianxiao glanced around at everyone, a mysterious smile on his face, and said.
"What is this? It's so mysterious."
One person shouted, and the others began to speculate.
"It is a key to unlocking the long history of Shi Shengshi's family, and it is called Liuliyu (琉璃玉)."
"As we all know, the secret to Sima Qian's sainthood is hidden in the long history of the family of historians. Therefore, if anyone is fortunate enough to enter this long history, they may obtain the secret to the sainthood of historians, and even have the chance to inherit the saint's legacy. Therefore, this glass jade can be said to be priceless."
Lin Tianxiao continued, and his words immediately stirred up a huge wave of excitement, with countless people's eyes filled with fervor and greed.
Compared to the Xuan Gui Dan, this Liuli Yu is much more valuable.
Things that increase lifespan are indeed valuable, but if one can become a saint, one can reach that mysterious and unpredictable ultimate realm. The difference between the two is like heaven and earth.
"That damned old man actually revealed the value of this glass jade. It's going to be even more difficult to get it auctioned off now."
Upon hearing this, Shi Yu clapped her hands hard and then sighed to herself.
"Young master, don't rush to fight over it. Let them fight it out first, and we'll reap the benefits. Wouldn't that be better?"
A scholar standing next to Shi Yu, his gaze somewhat cold, then spoke.
“You’re right. We can reap the benefits. These powerful families’ residences are not in the capital, while our Shi family is the most powerful in the capital. If a fight breaks out, they will be no match for us.”
Upon hearing this, a chilling glint flashed in Shi Yu's eyes, then she nodded and said.
This crystal jade is crucial to whether their Shi Sheng family can achieve sainthood; it is of paramount importance. Anyone who is blind to its value will be killed.
"You've said so much, but we haven't even seen anything. You have to let us see it, right?"
At this moment, a member of a wealthy family spoke up, causing Lin Tianxiao to slap his forehead and say:
"That is indeed my dereliction of duty. In that case, please take a look!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Tianxiao flipped his hand, and a jade box appeared. Then the jade box was opened, revealing a jade pendant inside.
As soon as the jade pendant appeared, a dazzling light burst forth from it, eventually soaring into the sky and creating an extremely magnificent display of color.
A burst of light appeared, and everyone around stared wide-eyed, their faces showing amazement. But when Ye Ru saw the jade pendant, his pupils shrank to the size of pinholes, and the armrest of the chair he was holding was crushed to pieces in an instant!
Because this jade pendant is exactly the same as the one that was taken from Wang Xiaoyang!
"How can it be!"
Ye Ru felt as if a storm was brewing in his heart. His gaze was fixed on the jade pendant in the distance, and then he murmured to himself.
"what happened?"
Zhang Dong looked at Ye Ru's unusual behavior and said in a doubtful voice.
"I also have a piece of this jade pendant."
After pondering for a moment, Ye Ru exhaled, flipped his hand, and a beam of light flashed by, instantly revealing an identical jade pendant in his hand.
"This is also glass jade! Where did you get it from?"
When Zhang Zhi saw the glass jade, he also said in a low voice.
“The whereabouts of my father’s disappearance were found on the jade from the Ghost Scholar. However, when I showed this jade to Lord Chen Tianjian, he couldn’t tell what it was.”
Ye Ru said slowly.
"No wonder. Lord Chen has never had any contact with the Shi family, let alone such a rare and precious jade. It's normal that he didn't know about it."
Zhang Dong thought for a moment and then said.
"It seems this thing is related to the secret of my father's disappearance. No matter what, I must get my hands on it!"
As he spoke, Ye Ru gripped the jade pendant tightly, a resolute glint in his eyes, and murmured to himself.
