Chapter 447: Sold at a Sky-High Price
Shen Rugo's bid caused an uproar in the room!
Buying a mid-grade flying magic weapon for one million high-grade spirit stones is far beyond its intrinsic value!
The sinister voice remained silent for a moment, then finally fell silent.
Next up was the "Earth Core Fire Lotus," which was also fiercely contested and ultimately won by Shen Rugo for a high price of 300,000 high-grade spirit stones.
Two consecutive extravagant spending sprees aroused curiosity among everyone at the auction about the owner of the mysterious private room on the second floor, with everyone inquiring about the identity of the little girl with the childish voice but generous spending habits.
The auction was nearing its end, and finally, the grand finale was approaching.
The auctioneer was a charming and alluring woman with a seductive voice. She smiled and took out a jade plate with four seemingly ordinary jade talismans on it.
"Fellow Daoists, the next item in this auction is the last and most special one: an ancient, lost treasure, the sound transmission talisman!"
The mature, older woman auctioneer's voice was loud and inflammatory.
A chorus of questions and discussions immediately arose from the audience.
A sound transmission talisman? Are you kidding me?
"Wanbaoge is resorting to this kind of gimmick now?"
"real or fake?"
The mature auctioneer had anticipated this situation. She remained calm and invited Manager Zhao Dezhu to come up and conduct the test on the spot.
When the clear sound transmission echoed throughout the auction hall through the special amplification array, all the doubts vanished instantly, replaced by countless fervent gazes!
The auctioneer pressed his advantage, his voice brimming with enticement: "Ladies and gentlemen! Think about it! When exploring secret realms, with this talisman, how could teammates possibly get separated?"
When disciples of a sect go out to train, they can be contacted at any time, even if they are thousands of miles away, and their safety is always under control!
Family matters and emergencies must be communicated instantly!
The wondrous uses of this talisman are endless!
Four communication talismans, two pairs, which can be separated or combined, starting bid 100,000 high-grade spirit stones!
Each increment must be at least 10,000!
As soon as she finished speaking, the bidding erupted like a tidal wave!
"One hundred and fifty thousand!"
"Two hundred thousand!"
"Three hundred thousand!"
"Half a million!"
……
Prices have skyrocketed at an astonishing rate!
Representatives from various sects and families, as well as wealthy rogue cultivators, were all desperately bidding with bloodshot eyes!
Everyone understands that this communication talisman is not just a communication tool, but may also play a decisive role at certain critical moments!
Shen Rugo stared in disbelief in the private room, her mouth slightly agape.
The things she casually researched and tinkered with, whose cost was almost negligible to her, could actually be sold for such an exorbitant price?
Although I was mentally prepared and knew that Transmission Tag would sell like hotcakes, I didn't expect it to become this popular.
Ultimately, the first pair of communication talismans was auctioned off to a medium-sized sect for 1.2 million high-grade spirit stones!
The second pair fetched an astonishing price of 1.5 million!
The four transmission talismans were auctioned off for a total of 2.7 million high-grade spirit stones.
After deducting a 10% commission, Shen Rugo made a net profit of 2.43 million!
"We're rich! We're really rich..."
Shen Rugo felt like she was dreaming.
The little cat on her shoulder barked at her, its small eyes sparkling with admiration for Shen Rugo.
The auction ended, but the crowd did not disperse immediately. They surrounded the people from Wanbaoge, asking if there were any more communication talismans.
Zhao Dezhu immediately found Shen Rugo and excitedly asked, "Senior! Do you have any more communication talismans? Many people want to buy them!"
Shen Rugo was overjoyed, but she pretended to be calm on the surface: "There are none for now. However, we can probably have someone send some more over tomorrow, and the quantity should be quite large."
Zhao Dezhu was overjoyed and immediately reported to the person in charge of the auction, a mid-stage Golden Core cultivator surnamed Qian.
Upon hearing this, the man's eyes lit up, and he immediately decided to extend the auction by one day, adding a special "Transmission Talisman" auction tomorrow!
Back in her room, Shen Rugo immediately began working overtime to create a sound transmission talisman.
With her current cultivation level and control over runes, she can create this simplified version of the transmission talisman at an extremely fast speed.
In one night and one day, she successfully produced more than 300 sound transmission talismans!
However, she did not take them all out; she only took out one hundred and gave them to Wanbaoge for the auction the next day.
Sure enough, the "Transmission Tag Special" on the second day was even more popular!
The news spread, attracting more forces from the surrounding area to come.
One hundred communication talismans were snapped up, with the average transaction price even higher than the first day, and the total transaction amount reached a staggering 75 million high-grade spirit stones!
Shen Rugo received another 67.5 million!
The two consecutive days of sky-high auctions earned Wanbaoge a huge commission, but also aroused greed in the mind of the person in charge.
He looked at Shen Rugo and secretly pondered: "This little girl is only about ten years old. It's obvious that some old monster deliberately changed her appearance. Her actual age must be quite high."
Even this old monster is only at the Foundation Establishment stage. The reason she dresses like this and acts mysteriously is simply because she's afraid someone will attack her.
"Hahaha! But this old monster has been blinded by greed and dared to show off her wealth at our Wanbaoge auction! I absolutely cannot let her get away with this!"
"If we can capture her, find the person behind the creation of the communication talisman, and force her to reveal the method, our Wanbaoge has plenty of rune masters. What enormous wealth will Wanbaoge then possess?"
The man, named Qian Yuantong, became increasingly excited and eager as he thought about it: "If I can capture this little girl and force her to reveal the method of making runes, I will have rendered a great service to Wanbaoge!"
The Pavilion Master will surely appreciate me and transfer me back to the main pavilion, entrusting me with important responsibilities!
Wanbaoge is the largest merchant guild in the cultivation world of Tianyuan Continent. With that, I'll rise to prominence, wielding unlimited power and resources, and my future achievements will be limitless!
The more he thought about it, the more excited he became. He secretly mobilized the two Golden Core elders from Wanbaoge stationed in Baiyun City, ordering them to follow Shen Rugo in secret, intending to capture her when she left and force her to reveal the method of making the communication talisman.
On the surface, however, he became increasingly polite to Shen Rugo, adopting an extremely humble attitude and even fawning over her!
Shen Rugo was incredibly astute; she had already discerned the clues from his shifty eyes.
He sneered inwardly, "I originally intended to entrust this business to you for long-term cooperation and mutual benefit. Since you're trying to rip me off, don't blame me for being impolite!"
Pretending to be completely unaware, she took the enormous fortune from the auction and swaggered away from Wanbaoge.
Qian Yuantong pretended to see them off, but secretly signaled the two Golden Core elders to follow.
Not far from Baiyun City, in a secluded valley, two Golden Core cultivators blocked her path, one in front and one behind, with sinister smiles on their faces.
"Young lady, we don't lie! Quickly hand over the method for making the communication talisman and all the spirit stones, or don't blame us for being impolite!"
One of them shouted coldly.
Shen Rugo stopped and burst out laughing: "You want to rob me?"
"Robbery? You could say that!"
"Who told you to be so ungrateful as to openly bid on such a top-tier rune at our auction? Don't you know the principle of not flaunting wealth?"
The two men felt a chill run down their spines when they saw her strange smile, but then they burst into laughter again when they remembered that she was just a minor Foundation Establishment cultivator.
"So this is what your boss, Mr. Qian, wants?" Shen Rugo's face turned cold.
"We don't know who Boss Qian is!"
But we know that today you must hand over all the spirit stones and rune crafting methods, or you won't be leaving this valley!
Fearing that things might get complicated if they waited too long, the two shouted and attacked simultaneously, sending two sharp beams of light straight at Shen Rugo!
