Chapter 304: Lost a lot
When Chen Jiu heard that some of these rare treasures were brought by the Crown Prince Zhu Yijun, he couldn't help but frown and fall into deep thought.
He definitely couldn't take these things, he had to ask Chi Lian Tianzun to take them all back so that these two masters and apprentices wouldn't make a single penny!
So, how can we get them to fight back?
He frowned and pondered for a while. The first rare treasure of the third round had already begun to be auctioned.
At this time, before he could speak, someone else had already spoken.
It was obvious that these people knew how to refine weapons. The rare treasures from the first two rounds were not good enough, so they were too lazy to fight for them. If they could buy more than ten or twenty bottles of elixirs, they would just raise their hands. Once he and Chi Lian Tianzun started arguing, they would just watch the show and would not fight with them at all.
The third round was different. Obviously, those who knew how to refine equipment knew that the rare treasures in this third round of auction were already capable of being used to refine pretty good magic weapons. Therefore, those who really came to buy the rare treasures all made their moves.
Seeing this, Chen Jiu already had an idea.
He doesn't care what the item is or whether it is useful to him or not. As long as people stop raising the price, he will raise the price again. If Chi Lian Tianzun follows suit, then it depends on the situation.
After a while, the price of this first rare treasure was increased to eighty bottles of elixirs. The equipment refiner who was really rushing to buy the rare treasure stopped raising the price, either because he didn't want to be in the spotlight or because he didn't have so many elixirs.
When Chen Jiu saw that Fox Power Heavenly Venerable was asking if anyone wanted to raise the price, he immediately said loudly: "I'll offer ninety bottles."
Chi Lian Tian Zun followed without hesitation: "I'll give you a hundred bottles."
Chen Jiu seemed to hesitate for a moment, but in fact he was waiting to see if anyone else would raise the price.
As a result, no.
He quickly raised the price and said, "I'll offer one hundred and ten bottles."
Chi Lian Tian Zun naturally raised the price provocatively: "I'll offer one hundred and twenty bottles."
Damn it, no one is as ruthless as you are. If someone really wants a rare treasure, and you are so ruthless and don't let them take a picture of any of it, it will really make people so angry that they want to vomit blood.
However, if you play such a ruthless game with me, you will be the one vomiting blood!
Chen Jiu immediately pretended to be angry and said, "I'll give you 140 bottles."
Chi Lian Tian Zun smiled proudly and said, "I'll offer one hundred and sixty bottles."
Chen Jiu seemed to be so angry that he gritted his teeth and said, "I'll give you 180 bottles."
Chi Lian Tian Zun laughed wildly and said, "I'll give you two hundred bottles."
Okay, two hundred bottles is enough. If no one raises the price, you can just fight back.
Chen Jiu began to pretend that he was short of money and did not have so many elixirs. He acted as if he wanted to raise the price but did not dare to, and hesitated for a long time, until Fox Power Tianzun announced that this rare treasure was bought by Red Snake Tianzun. Then he leaned back with an angry face, and at the same time secretly pinched the backs of Yunxiao Tianzun and Furong Fairy, meaning to let them cooperate in acting.
Yunxiao Tianzun and Furong Fairy were like puppets with a switch turned on. They immediately came over, hugged his arms and pretended to comfort him.
Chi Lian Tianzun proudly put another rare treasure into his pocket.
The next item is a rare treasure consigned by the Crown Prince Zhu Yijun.
Those who knew how to refine magic weapons started to raise the price again to buy them. This time, they stopped when the price reached 80 bottles.
Chen Jiu immediately raised the price and said, "I'll offer ninety bottles."
Chi Lian Tian Zun still raised the price enthusiastically, "I'll offer a hundred bottles."
Of course she knew that this thing was consigned by the Crown Prince Zhu Yijun. This time she didn't want to bargain back. She wanted to bargain the price down to the limit that Chen Jiu could afford, which was about two hundred bottles.
Chen Jiu's purpose this time was not to drive up the price, he just wanted Chi Lian Tianzun to fight back.
He pretended to hesitate for a moment, but still gritted his teeth and raised the price: "I'll offer 120 bottles."
Chi Lian Tian Zun suppressed it without hesitation: "I will offer one hundred and forty bottles."
Chen Jiu seemed very unconvinced, and immediately raised the price , saying, "I'll offer 160 bottles."
When Chi Lian Tian Zun saw that Chen Jiu was not convinced, he raised the price without hesitation and said, "I'll offer one hundred and eighty bottles."
Okay, I don't want to play with you anymore.
Chen Jiu began to pretend to hesitate again, until Fox Power Tianzun announced that this rare treasure was purchased by someone for 180 bottles of elixirs. Then he sighed dejectedly, leaned back, and then quietly reached out and gently pinched the backs of Yunxiao Tianzun and Furong Fairy.
Yunxiao Tianzun and Furong Fairy came over like puppets with a switch turned on, hugged his arms and pretended to comfort him.
Seeing this, Chi Lian Tian Zun couldn't help but sneer, "You only brought one or two hundred bottles of elixirs and you dare to come to the auction in the God Realm, you dog, hurry back to the mortal world and eat!"
The Crown Prince Zhu Yijun was at a loss for words and said, "Master, this is on consignment from me!"
Chi Lian Tian Zun said without hesitation: "What's the big deal? Just wait until you get the elixir you're selling on consignment and return it to me. I'll return it to you, and you can auction it next time."
The Crown Prince Zhu Yijun said anxiously, "The problem is that Qingmu Market takes a commission, and it's quite harsh, a full 20%. They're going to take 36 out of the 180 bottles of elixir, so I only have 144 bottles left."
Chi Lian Tian Zun said unhappily, "Why don't you just give me thirty-six bottles? Anyway, you can earn at least fifty bottles of elixirs by auctioning this thing next time."
I'm here to earn elixirs, not to lose them. This time I'll make up thirty-six bottles, and next time I'll sell fifty bottles and I'll have to give a 20% commission, which means ten bottles of elixirs, and a total of forty-six bottles. I make two trips to the God Realm and earn four bottles of elixirs?
You are really sick in the brain!
There was no way out. Crown Prince Zhu Yijun didn't dare to say a word. He knew his master's bad temper very well. If he continued to complain, the woman might turn against him immediately.
He can't afford to lose face, at least not now. He still has to rely on this woman's support to call the shots in the mortal world. If he angers this woman, he will be finished!
This is the sadness of the weak. Even though they are so angry that they are about to vomit blood, they can only swallow their anger and put on a smiling face for others.
Although Chen Jiu seemed to be angry, his spiritual consciousness was quietly listening to the conversation between the master and disciple.
When he heard what the Crown Prince Zhu Yijun said, he almost couldn't help laughing.
All right, kid, I’ll make you lose money this time!
The next item was consigned by the Crown Prince Zhu Yijun, and it was the Star Iron that Chen Jiu wanted the most.
He really wanted to bid for more star iron to make star armor for Yuyi Tianzun and the siblings Luo Li, Luo Yong, and Luo Meng.
However, he didn't have to get such a small piece.
Of course, he couldn't let Chi Lian Tianzun see that he was willing to give up.
This time, he couldn't wait to raise the price again, "I'll offer sixty bottles."
Here it comes. What this kid wants most is the Star Iron. No matter what, I will not let you bid for this piece of Star Iron.
Chi Lian Tian Zun raised the price without hesitation: "I'll offer seventy bottles."
Chen Jiu seemed to hesitate for a moment, and sure enough, someone else offered eighty bottles.
He quickly raised the price as if waking up from a dream, "I'll offer ninety bottles."
Chi Lian Tian Zun did not hesitate to suppress him and said, "I will offer one hundred bottles."
Chen Jiu pretended to hesitate again.
Unexpectedly, someone below added up to 110 bottles.
It seems that those who can refine magic weapons have no shortage of elixirs. They can earn hundreds or even thousands of elixirs by refining one magic weapon. So one or two hundred bottles of elixirs are certainly affordable.
The reason why they didn't raise the price and argue like crazy like him and Chi Lian Tianzun was definitely because they considered the cost issue. An ordinary magic weapon might only sell for two or three hundred bottles of elixirs, but they spent more than two hundred bottles of elixirs to buy just one material. Isn't that simply insane!
However, this Star God Armor is obviously not an ordinary magic weapon, and the profit margin is still quite large, so some people began to compete with them for it.
That’s good now. Someone is arguing with him. Chi Lian Tianzun will die an even more miserable death!
Chen Jiu didn't even think twice and immediately raised the price, "I'll offer 120 bottles."
Chi Lian Tian Zun raised the price without hesitation: "I'll offer 130 bottles."
Chen Jiu pretended to hesitate again to see if anyone else would raise the price.
Sure enough, someone below brought in another 140 bottles of elixirs.
Chen Jiu pretended to be afraid of being snatched away, and immediately raised the price: "I'll offer 150 bottles."
Chi Lian Tian Zun said proudly: "I will offer one hundred and sixty bottles."
There seemed to be fierce competition for this piece of star iron. Chen Jiu just pretended to hesitate for a moment, and someone else offered 170 bottles of elixirs.
Chen Jiu naturally immediately raised the price and said, "I'll offer 180 bottles."
Chi Lian Tian Zun still suppressed it without hesitation: "I will offer one hundred and ninety bottles."
Chen Jiu pretended to hesitate again, and the people below also began to hesitate. Two hundred bottles were a bit uneconomical.
However, after a while, someone raised the price to two hundred bottles.
It looks like these people are almost reaching their limit, and he can't hesitate any longer.
Chen Jiu pretended to be desperate and stood up and howled, "I'll give you 250 bottles."
You kid want this piece of star iron?
No way !
Chi Lian Tian Zun immediately stood up and said arrogantly: "I will offer three hundred bottles."
Chen Jiu frantically swept the pile of fruit plates in front of him, then turned to Fairy Furong and said, "Lend me two hundred bottles of elixirs."
Uh, you still want to borrow two hundred bottles of elixir?
Fairy Hibiscus certainly knew how generous Chen Jiu was, but she also knew that Chen Jiu was acting.
This Chi Lian Tianzun is really sick in his brain. At the beginning, Chen Jiu spent more than a thousand bottles of elixirs to book this compartment. Is he a man without elixirs?
Of course, it is also possible that Chi Lian Tianzun did not use his spiritual sense to scan over at that time and did not know that this compartment was booked by Chen Jiu.
That’s perfect, let’s kill this old witch.
Fairy Furong had already heard from Yunxiao Tianzun about what this old witch had done, so of course she had to cooperate with Chen Jiu to vent her anger for her good sister.
She was stunned for just a moment, then she raised her hand and waved it, and two hundred bottles of elixirs immediately appeared on the table.
Chen Jiu seemed to have given up everything and immediately shouted, "I'll give you 400 bottles of elixirs."
Local dog, do you want to fight with me?
Chi Lian Tian Zun deliberately irritated people and howled wildly, "I will give you 500 bottles of elixirs."
Chen Jiu seemed to be fainted from anger. He sat down, leaning against the back of the chair without saying a word.
Seeing this, Yunxiao Tianzun and Furong Fairy rushed over to comfort him without him turning on the switch.
Seeing this, Chi Lian Tian Zun couldn't help but laugh crazily, "Hahaha, you're playing tricks on me? I'll piss you off to death, you dead dog!"
She was extremely proud, but Crown Prince Zhu Yijun's heart was bleeding.
Five hundred bottles of elixirs. Qingmufang Market takes 20% which means one hundred bottles. The base price of his piece of star iron is only fifty bottles of elixirs. Even if he can bid for one hundred bottles next time, he still has to take a commission on forty bottles. In other words, he has to make two trips to auction this piece of star iron and lose forty bottles of elixirs!
When he first saw the ridiculously high reserve price at the Divine Realm Auction, he thought he could make a fortune. But now, not only did he not make any profit from bidding on two rare treasures, he even lost dozens of bottles!
Next, Chen Jiu continued to bid for each item. Chi Lian Tian Zun made it clear that he would not be able to bid for any of them, in order to piss him off to death. As long as he made a move, Chi Lian Tian Zun would follow.
If it was someone else who was consigning the item, Chen Jiu would pretend to hesitate for a while and let others bid for the item. But when it was Crown Prince Zhu Yijun who was consigning the item, he would try his best to pretend and act, pretending that he really wanted it and tried his best to argue with Chi Lian Tianzun.
Chi Lian Tianzun did not hesitate to suppress Chen Jiu to death, just to prevent him from bidding for this rare treasure.
This time, the five rare treasures brought by Crown Prince Zhu Yijun could have earned at least three hundred bottles of elixirs. As a result, after Chen Jiu's bullshit, not only did he not earn a single bottle of elixir, he lost nearly three hundred bottles of elixir just by the commission from Qingmufang City!
That’s nearly six hundred bottles of elixirs going in and out!
Chi Lian Tianzun was so proud that he could not help himself, but he was really at a loss.
There's no other way. Even if it's a huge loss, I have to swallow it and accept it.
This woman is not to be messed with.
