344: C344 Huangfu Family

C344 Huangfu Family

The exclamations were obviously due to the exclamation of the starting price that Bao Debinn mentioned.

However, the warriors and mages of the higher levels, as well as the few People of Oca s sitting in the VIP seats, understood that five million was just a symbolic starting price. For those who truly wanted to obtain this level ten Devil Beast, the true value of a Prehistoric Green Dragon Lizard would be at least ten million gold.

Furthermore, the starting price of five million gold was the same as the starting price of the ninth level Divine Beast, the Amethyst Phoenix. To a tenth level Devil Beast, it was a little too low.

As expected, as soon as Bao Debinn finished his sentence, the auction hall started to fill with sounds of bidding.

"Six million."

"Seven million."

"Eight million."

"Nine million."

"Ten million!"

When the bid reached 10 million gold, there was a brief moment of silence.

However, this silence only lasted for a few breaths.

Very quickly, another bid was called out.

"Eleven million."

"Eleven million five hundred thousand."

"Twelve million …"

After the bid, which was over 10 million gold, the people were obviously more cautious when bidding, and the price was reduced by half.

Even so, the price continued to rise.

"Fifteen million."

When the 15 million bid rang out, the auction house fell silent for a second time.

A few breaths later, another voice sounded.

"Sixteen million."

Yeh Rong looked towards the source of the voice. It turned out to be a member of the Huangfu clan, ranked fourth out of the Four Great Clans. Because of its good relationship with the Household Department, Huangfu Aristocratic Family had almost a monopoly over the price of food in the capital city. In this kind of business, outsiders couldn't even get their hands on food.

Of the four great clans in the capital, Nangong Aristocratic Family mainly operated in the fields of mineral resources and civil engineering. Murong Aristocratic Family mainly operated in the fields of cloth, fur, silk and cotton. Although among the Four Great Clans, Huangfu Aristocratic Family was the last, everyone knew that the grain business was the lifeline of the common people. Although the turnover could not compare to the top three families, Huangfu Aristocratic Family which controlled the grain lifeline was actually the most important among the four great families.

At this moment, Yeh Rong noticed that a handsome young man was seated in the center of the seating area of Huangfu Aristocratic Family.

Yeh Rong's heart moved. This young man was the only son of the Huangfu Aristocratic Family Patriarch, Huangfu Ann.

Furthermore, according to what he had heard, the Patriarch of Huangfu Aristocratic Family was already severely ill. It was likely that the person who held sole authority in the matters of the family was Huangfu Ann.

Hearing Huangfu Ann's bid, a People of Oca frowned and snorted. He continued: "17 million."

Everyone exclaimed once again.

The original bid range had already decreased to 500,000 yuan or 500,000 yuan, but this People of Oca had suddenly raised it to the range of a million.

Huangfu Ann's face was as flat as a lake as he said lightly: "18 million."

Seated in the Oca seating area, Tu Bu now turned his head, deliberately stared at Huangfu Ann, and spoke again: "Nineteen million."

Without hesitation, Huangfu Ann continued: "20 million."

Once this number was said, a few People of Oca s looked at each other and fell silent.

Yeh Rong's heart was moved as well. The twenty million silver taels was not silver but gold. The equivalent of two hundred million taels of silver in banknotes. Even if Huangfu Aristocratic Family were to earn a large amount of money every day, it would still be impossible to earn such a large amount of money without spending eight or ten years.

Why did Huangfu Ann need to pay such a huge price to obtain this Prehistoric Green Dragon Lizard?

When she thought of this, Yeh Rong suddenly thought of an intelligence report from the Dark Holy Temple. Recently, his Huangfu Aristocratic Family had been purchasing horns of Devil Beast s above level 5. It was said to be for people to practice a rare martial skill.

Yeh Rong vaguely remembered that the name of this martial skill was Holy Heavenly Armor.

Although Sacred Heavenly Armor was a Level 9 martial skill, once mastered, it could resist the damage of Level 10 martial skills and magic. It was practically equivalent to the attacks of a Primary Devil God Master and Primary Godly Martial Master.

Thinking up to this point, Yeh Rong was shocked in her heart. Could it be that her Huangfu Aristocratic Family had already reached such a high level?

At this time, the People of Oca continued to stay silent. Twenty million gold liangs was not a price that an ordinary person could afford. For a time, the entire venue quieted down.

It was very obvious that twenty million gold was also the bottom line of these People of Oca. With the price exceeding twenty million gold, firstly, the money prepared by People of Oca might not be enough, and secondly, they might not feel that it was worth it.

But after a few breaths, the People of Oca called Tu Bu revealed a trace of malice on his face and continued: "Twenty one million."

Everyone exclaimed once again.

Huangfu Ann seemed slightly surprised. He glanced at Tu Bu and said with the same indifferent tone, "22 million."

Tu Bu gritted his teeth: "23 million."

At this time, the surrounding People of Oca all simultaneously lowered their heads and whispered to Tu Bu, "Although the tortoise shell cultivation method is considered an extremely important matter, the actual value of this price has already exceeded the value of a level ten Devil Beast. If you continue calling for this, it's not worth it."

Tu Bu said fiercely: "I have already spent a lot for the Turtle Armor Technique, it's only 20 million Gold Banknotes, once I master the Golden Armor Art, I will have plenty of opportunities to get it back."

Hearing Tu Bu's words, Yeh Rong was shocked.

Turtle Armor Technique was a mysterious martial skill that was spread among the cultivators in the northern part of East Continent. Legend has it that once you master the Tortoise Armor Technique, even if you master the Intermediate Demon God Master and Intermediate Godly Martial Master's cultivation, it would still be difficult to break through the defense of the Tortoise Armor Technique.

Thinking of this, Yeh Rong frowned. If Tu Bu were to learn this martial skill, then it would undoubtedly create a formidable opponent for the Tiangong Empire. For Ye Tian, it would also become a thorny problem.

Biting her lips, Yeh Rong thought to herself, "It looks like this Tu Bu will have to pay close attention to him. Once he discovers that he has the intention of advancing, I should consider eliminating him in advance."

At this time, Huangfu Ann, who was not far away, spoke again: "24 million."

A murderous light flashed in Tu Bu's eyes as he continued: "25 million."

As soon as this figure was announced, the corners of Yeh Rong's mouth curled up in a pretty smile.

25 million gold, that was exactly the bottom line Ye Tian was looking forward to. He had already reached Ye Tian's expectations. If he went up a little, it would be an additional surprise.

However, Huangfu Ann didn't seem to be moved at all and continued: "26 million."

Everyone cried out in alarm once again.

Tu Bu gritted his teeth and paused for a moment. Finally, he opened his mouth and said: "27 million."

At this time, Konstantin, who was sitting beside Tu Bu, said in a low voice, "Tu Bu, we only have 20 million gold taels in exchange for a sum of ruby. Even if you add in the other jewels on your body, the maximum is twenty-five million. If you have anymore, I won't be able to take it out, but you have to consider it carefully, because I can't afford the money, so I'll be forced to leave the Tiangong Empire as a hostage. "

In response to Konstantin's taunt, Tu Bu gritted his teeth and said: "I still have a Moon Bright Wheel."

Hearing Tu Bu's words, the crowd of People of Oca shook their heads, all secretly saying: Moon Bright Wheel is the treasure of the Far North Ice Plain people, but in the process of conquering the ice plains, they accidentally fell into Tu Bu's hands. But Moon Bright Wheel s were priceless, and compared to a level ten Devil Beast, they were much more precious. Even if Tu Bu was unable to cultivate the Moon Bright Wheel on his own due to the different attributes of magic, it would still be unreasonable to trade it for a Prehistoric Green Dragon Lizard. "0

However, Tu Bu was clearly obsessed with the craziness of bidding.

After pausing for a moment, Huangfu Ann, who was not far away, spoke again: "27 million."

"30 million." Tu Bu gritted his teeth and added 3 million gold in one go.

Hearing the number Tu Bu said, Huangfu Ann was slightly shocked once again. Honestly speaking, the price of 30 million gold has exceeded Huangfu Ann's bottom line.

Huangfu Ann frowned and started to think quickly.

Of the four great clans in the capital, the Huangfu Aristocratic Family had always focused on the production of food, vegetables, and fruits as their main business. However, these things were all related to the lives of ordinary citizens, and under the intervention of the Household Administration Department, the price could not be too high.

It was precisely because of this that the business profits of the industries under Huangfu Aristocratic Family could not go up. Although the Ministry of Household Affairs was given annual sales, due to the importance of the situation, the Ministry of Household Affairs did not dare to fully release the price of agricultural products.

If it was in terms of turnover, Huangfu Ann was confident that he would not lose to the other three Great Clans. However, if it was in terms of profits, the Huangfu Clan could only be considered as one of the lowest.

Just last winter, when Ouyang Aristocratic Family was attached to her body first, Ouyang Ruochen, that little girl, unexpectedly turned into a shopkeeper for Royal Cars and Horses Shop with a shake of her body. Borrowing the east wind of Royal Cars and Horses Shop, the business of Ouyang Aristocratic Family's escort company quickly expanded across the entire nation. Until last month, Wei Yuan's escort company's signboard had already covered over seven hundred cities of different sizes in all nine counties of the empire. And because of that, Ouyang Aristocratic Family became the number one clan in the capital.

And more importantly, as the shopkeeper of Royal Cars and Horses Shop, Ouyang Ruochen held great authority. Her business of sending mail, postings, and escort services were practically monopolized. An ordinary commoner, even if they were from a wealthy background, who would dare to compete with Imperial Household Department for business?

At the same time, all kinds of information indicated that the Nangong Aristocratic Family had already followed Ye Tian's footsteps. Even though they had not obtained any benefits from the Imperial Household Department, but thinking about Nangong Feiyan, that aloof and lofty woman, she had clearly become Ye Tian's forbidden luan.

And Murong Qi was also acting strangely recently, going to the Jade Lake West Garden every so often. No one knew what exactly he was doing.
