Chapter 184 Orange Cauldron
Chapter 184 Orange Cauldron
Mu Yao didn't like the next two items. Lingxiao Pavilion also became strangely quiet, without any movement.
Finally, it was the turn of the last item to be auctioned - the orange tripod.
Because the reserve price of this precious tripod was incredibly high, it failed to sell every time.
Today, the emcee gave a detailed introduction and announced the reserve price as usual, but he didn't expect that someone would actually raise a sign to bid.
Countless eyes looked in the direction of the voice.
When Mu Yao saw that the person bidding the price was Uncle Xie, she suddenly felt as if the entire void was distorted.
The reserve price is one hundred and eighty million taels!
The Xie family's business does not involve medicinal materials or elixirs, and Emperor Bei Ming's illness has long been cured. What is the point of Uncle San spending so much money to buy this alchemy furnace?
Suddenly, a flash of lightning flashed through my mind.
Could it be because of her?
Countless stars fell from the sky above my head, and in the blink of an eye, the sky began to spin before my eyes.
"Dou Xue, is that orange tripod worth 180 million taels?" Mu Yao asked anxiously.
"Madam, your third uncle is really not an ordinary wealthy businessman! You said his last name is Xie? Where is he from?"
No matter how arrogant Xiao Douxue was, he was still shocked by the handwriting of Uncle Xie.
What is the concept of 180 million taels? If he wants to spend this much money at once, he has to think twice.
What's the connection? Mu Yao held her forehead and urged angrily, "You haven't answered my question yet!"
Xiao Douxue turned his head back to the orange tripod, thought for a moment and replied, "Whether it's worth money or not depends on who you are talking to. It's not worth it to me."
Mu Yao was stunned, frowned and asked: "What do you mean?"
"There are so many good furnaces and cauldrons in Dan Pavilion. The Orange Cauldron is good, but it is not irreplaceable. So for me, it is not important."
Mu Yao looked at him and fell into a brief silence.
"Do you think this price is appropriate?"
If Xiao Douxue said "inappropriate", she would go crazy. Now she had a purple gold furnace in her hand, and she was the mistress of the Dan Pavilion, so she would never lack a furnace.
But Uncle San has already called the price, and if no one dares to chase, he’ll have to take it.
"Whether the price is appropriate or not depends on the individual. If I don't have a suitable alchemy furnace, I will definitely get this tripod at all costs. Madam, does Uncle Xie also make alchemy at home?" Xiao Douxue asked doubtfully.
Yun Qi knew that there weren't many families that were good at making pills, so how come he had never heard of an alchemy family with the surname Xie?
Mu Yao frowned and shook her head.
Shen Chutang rolled up the loose hair on her temples and smiled calmly, "Don't worry. Since they decided to buy this tripod, they must have thought it through carefully.
There was silence in the Changsheng Pavilion; even the air was no longer flowing.
Everyone stared at Xie Gantang and Xie Yu in amazement for a long time, then suddenly burst into deafening applause, with endless admiration in their eyes.
Some guests even stood up and walked over to congratulate them, from which we learned that they were from the Xie family of Beiming.
"Madam, how do you know the Xie family of Beiming?" Xiao Douxue's face was filled with surprise.
Many years ago, Bei Ming State Master Xie Ci once visited Dan Pavilion and asked him to refine a life-saving elixir for Bei Ming Emperor Murong Chen. Because Murong Chen's identity as an emperor was too sensitive, Xiao Douxue declined Xie Ci's request, but revealed that the "Immortality Grass" could prolong life.
He seemed to have a premonition of something, and looked at Mu Yao anxiously and asked, "What is your relationship with Bei Ming Imperial Master Xie Ci?"
Mu Yao was secretly surprised by Xiao Douxue's reaction, and said frankly: "He is also my husband."
Speaking of Xie Ci, Mu Yao missed him a little. After repaying the favor of Emperor Qing Yuan, she would definitely go to Bei Ming to live for a while.
