"Haha, this girl is still shy!" The three unscrupulous old men laughed wildly together.
Xiaopang was speechless about these guys, but since they were elders, he couldn't say much, so he could only smile helplessly: "Three seniors, are you so happy that you got the enlightenment tea?"
It would have been fine if Xiaopang didn't mention this, but as soon as he mentioned this, the three old men were so angry that their beards trembled.
The bald old man couldn't help but said angrily, "Don't mention it, the Hong family is simply unspeakable, the girls and wives are more wasteful than each other!"
"Huh?" Xiaopang heard it, what's wrong with this? He hurriedly asked, "What happened?"
"Oh, don't mention it!" The old man with a goat beard smiled bitterly and said, "Just pretend you don't know about this. If you know, I guess your dean will even want to kill you to silence you!"
"Okay, okay!" The red-faced old man also said, "Let's not talk about it. Let's discuss business now!" Obviously, although these three people are a bit unscrupulous, they are still very strict and know what to say and what not to say. If the news that the dean's wife used the enlightenment tea to wash her feet spreads, she will definitely become a laughing stock, and she may not be able to raise her head in this life, so they all chose to remain silent very kindly and did not tell Xiaopang about this.
Seeing that they didn't say anything, Xiaopang didn't dare to ask more, but he still heard something from the other party's words, that is, they didn't seem to get the two tea leaves he sent out, so it seems that he will be in trouble again.
Although he realized this, Xiaopang didn't say it clearly, but pretended to be stupid and said, "I don't know what the three seniors want to see me for?"
"Hey, it's very simple. I want to buy the pot of tea you are drinking now!" The bald old man said hurriedly.
"Don't come on, it's not him who buys it, it's me!" The red-faced old man also said anxiously.
"It's me, sell it to me, I'll pay the highest price!" The last goatee old man said hurriedly.
When Xiaopang saw this scene, he was immediately happy. He immediately knew that his half pot of tea had probably become a rare commodity. And the three of them were in urgent need of it. This was clearly a bamboo extortion that was delivered to the door? If Xiaopang had any hobbies, it would definitely be a bamboo extortion.
So he immediately smiled slightly, then rubbed his hands and said: "Hehe, the three seniors all want it, but unfortunately there is only one pot of this tea, which obviously cannot meet all your requirements. But as a junior, I am embarrassed to not give face to the elders, which really makes me embarrassed?"
The three old men are also smart, and naturally saw the little fat man's thoughts, so they said in unison, "Stop talking nonsense, what do you say?"
"Hehe, it is not my place to speak here, but since the three seniors unanimously request it, then the junior will reluctantly say the simplest solution, that is, auction!" The little fat man then smiled and asked: "I wonder what the three of you think?"
"Auction?" The bald old man frowned, and then said: "How to auction, tell me the details!"
"That's right, we can't raise the price endlessly for such a half pot of tea!" The red-faced old man followed.
"Yes, we have been friends for hundreds of years. We can't hurt the relationship for such a small thing, right?" The old man with goat beard followed Jian and laughed.
Seeing them say this, Xiaopang immediately knew that his plan to take the opportunity to let them compete for the bid had failed. He couldn't help but curse in his heart, "Old fox." Then he quickly put on a smile and said, "Yes, yes, in fact, the junior also thinks so. No matter what, we can't let the three seniors hurt the relationship. So, the junior thinks, why not let the three seniors bid once, and then the junior will choose one that suits him. Whether the transaction is successful or not, I hope the seniors who lose the election will not blame me!"
"Well, this idea is not bad!" The old man with goat beard nodded.
"I think it's okay. Bidding once can avoid hurting the relationship!" The red-faced old man also said.
"And you don't have to worry about anything else. The three of us have lived for thousands of years. We won't embarrass you for such a small matter!" The bald old man followed.
"That's great!" Xiaopang rubbed his hands excitedly, and then said, "But I don't know which senior will bid first?"
After hearing this, the three elders looked at each other and became very hesitant. Obviously, they all wanted to bid later to overwhelm the people who bid in front. But none of them was stupid. At such an old age, they were the most patient, so they were in a stalemate for a long time, and no one was the first to come forward.
Xiaopang saw that it was not a solution to continue the stalemate, so he hurriedly said, "Why don't the three elders take out the things together, cover them with green light, and then explain them one by one. After taking out the things, you can't regret it and change them! How about it?"
"Okay!" After hearing this, the three elders nodded in satisfaction, and then waved their hands at the same time, and then saw three green lights wrapped around three things, appearing in front of each of them. Because of the green light, no one could see what was inside. But just thinking that this was something taken out by a master of the Spiritual Division, one would know that it was definitely not an ordinary item.
Xiaopang was naturally very happy in his heart, but on the surface he had to pretend to be calm and said to them slowly: "Now that the things have been taken out, we can't regret it. I wonder which senior will introduce his treasure first?"
"I'll go first!" The red-faced old man was obviously confident in himself, so he jumped out directly, and then shook his hand to remove the green light, revealing a Taoist robe. This thing was colorful, and I didn't know what it was made of. There were extremely exquisite patterns on it, and powerful five-element spiritual energy emanated from it.
The red-faced old man then said proudly: "This five-element robe is my masterpiece eight hundred years ago. It has been refined several times since then, and I have spent countless efforts on it. I originally wanted to refine it into a spiritual treasure, but decades ago, by chance, I got a finished spiritual treasure robe. This thing is not so important, but after all, it has been sacrificed by my mind for more than 800 years. Although it is not completely spiritual, it has a little spirituality. I believe that as long as there is some time, it will become a spiritual treasure! Little guy, I see that your skills have all the five elements, which is just right for this thing. You don't have a good protective treasure now, right? What are you waiting for? This super magic weapon with a five-element shifting formation is your best choice!" After hearing what the red-faced old man said, Xiaopang's eyes suddenly turned green. Indeed, this thing is really suitable for him. Although the big bronze bell is good, it is not very visible after all, and the protection is not as comprehensive as this thing. The most important thing is that the Five Elements Relocation Formation is a super formation that allows people to move, which evolved from the Five Elements Escape Technique. With it, Xiaopang can instantly move hundreds or even thousands of miles away when in the most dangerous time. It is simply a top-grade magic weapon for escaping! Half a pot of residual tea can be exchanged for such a thing, which is simply a good thing that falls from the sky?
However, just when Xiaopang was about to nod and agree. The bald old man on the side was anxious. He coughed hurriedly and said, "Young man, I strongly suggest that you make a choice after you have read my things! To be honest, although this Five Elements Taoist robe is really good, it may not be the most suitable for you! Believe me, at least what I have is more helpful to you than that thing!"
"Huh?" Xiaopang was immediately refreshed when he heard this, and hurriedly said, "But I don't know what the senior's things are?"
"Look!" The bald old man then waved his hand triumphantly, and after the green light dissipated, an extremely ancient jade slip was revealed inside. Then he proudly introduced: "Little guy, you are a thunder cultivator, right? And you can practice all the thunder arts of the five elements!"
"Yes!" Xiaopang nodded hurriedly, "Junior is indeed a five-element thunder cultivator!"
Xiaopang was not surprised at all that others knew his details. The dean must have told them about his situation early on.
"That's right!" The bald old man then smiled proudly: "This is a five-element thunder talisman from ancient times, recording all the five-element thunder arts of low and medium levels, a total of 20!"
The reason why there are 20 kinds is that each system of the five-element thunder arts is divided into yin and yang, so there are ten kinds of low-level and medium-level five-element thunder arts, adding up to 20 kinds.
Speaking of it, a thunder talisman for a thunder art is of great value, and 20 kinds added up are also a considerable fortune. However, for Xiaopang, this thing can only be used for the ten low-level ones. He can't use the intermediate thunder magic for the time being. The thunder talismans of low-level thunder magic are not very rare. He has plenty of time to collect them slowly in the future, so it is not important. In comparison, the Five Elements Taoist Clothes are more attractive to him.
Obviously, the bald old man also saw that Xiaopang was not very interested in his things, but he was not in a hurry. He just smiled slightly and threw out a killer move.
"Little guy, I know that just 20 kinds of five-element thunder magic are far less valuable than the five-element Taoist robe. However, how can I take out such worthless low-level stuff?" The bald old man then smiled and said, "In fact, the 20 kinds of thunder magic in this ancient thunder talisman are just the most basic records. Its real value lies in the method of refining the thunder platform of the five-element thunder magic!"
"Thunder platform?" When the fat boy heard it, he was stunned for a moment, and then asked in confusion: "What is a thunder platform?"
"Hehe, the thunder platform is a magic weapon that can condense divine thunder by itself!" The bald old man said proudly: "With it, you don't have to spend time refining divine thunder every day. The thunder platform can help you condense it by yourself, which is equivalent to saving you a lot of time!"
"What? "After hearing this, Xiaopang was shocked and said, "Is there a magic weapon that can automatically condense divine thunder in the world? How come I have never heard of it?"
"Humph, because this thing is an auxiliary magic weapon that appeared hundreds of thousands of years ago. Although it is indeed convenient for thunder cultivation, the materials required are too high-level and in large quantities, making them extremely expensive. The cost of a thunder platform that condenses low-level divine thunder is as high as that of a large magic weapon required by a sect! And the materials for making an intermediate thunder platform can be exchanged for a good spiritual treasure!" The old man with a goat beard said disdainfully at this time: "Little guy, I can't even afford this thing, do you think you have such strong financial resources?"
"Don't underestimate the young man, maybe he can make it!" Seeing this, the bald old man hurriedly explained angrily.
"Come on, you are clearly trying to cheat people!" The old man with a goat beard said disdainfully.
After hearing this, Xiaopang suddenly realized why people would give him this ancient secret of refining so generously. This is clearly a useless thing for ordinary low-level cultivators. However, for Xiaopang, it is not impossible. After all, there are too many materials gathered in his life space. Even if it is not enough, he can get it from others by exchanging. Anyway, the materials are idle. If he can really build a lightning platform, he will not need to refine divine thunder every day in the future, and he can also have a lot of divine thunder to squander.
Thinking of this, Xiaopang's heart is really moved. However, since there was one last thing he hadn't seen, Xiao Pang didn't buy it directly. Instead, he turned to the old man with a goatee and said, "But I wonder what your thing is?"
"Hey!" The old man with a goatee said proudly, "My things are naturally not junk. Today, I will open your eyes and show you what a treasure is!"
As he spoke, the green light in his hand also dissipated, revealing a palm-sized tortoise shell with blood-colored patterns on the surface. Although this thing is very unique, Xiao Pang couldn't see any mystery. However, when the other two saw this thing, they were all shocked and said: "River Map Blood Pattern!"
The red-faced old man exclaimed: "Old man, are you crazy? You actually took out such a good thing?"
"Oh my God, last time someone used a fourth-grade spiritual treasure and you didn't give it to him, why did you take it out today?" The bald old man also said: "Just for half a pot of tea, is it worth it?"
"Alas!" After hearing this, the old man with a goatee sighed and said: "I have been stuck at the bottleneck for more than 500 years. If I can't break through in another hundred years, my life will be exhausted. This half pot of tea is my last hope! If the treasure is gone, I can get it again, but if I lose my life, I will have nothing!"
Hearing the old man's words, the red-faced old man and the bald old man also showed a sad look. Then the two of them laughed bitterly, put away their things, and said helplessly: "Well, since you have bled so much, I will give it to you!"
"Thank you, thank you!" The old man with a goat beard said politely.
"Ahem!" Xiao Pang had a chance to cough twice at this time, and then smiled bitterly: "Three seniors, don't rush to make a decision, I don't know what this river map blood pattern is yet?"
"Hehe, good stuff!" The red-faced old man said with some envy.
"Even the masters of the Mahayana period are drooling!" The bald old man also said: "This time it's a bargain for you!"
