Chapter 1225: Not Plucking a Single Hair, Yet Still Forcing It?
A heated discussion immediately broke out in the venue! Even Rhode stared at the bundle of scallions in confusion.
"Ah, this... did the staff mess up and bring in the scallions bought at the market this morning?" someone said with a dumbfounded expression.
"How could an organization as big as Haitang make such a low-level mistake? This must be a lightsaber shaped like a scallion!" another person said suspiciously.
"Is this really a world-class auction I'm attending? What is Boss Pang up to?"
Jiangnan, on the other hand, was extremely excited. Had his goods finally arrived?
Then Alpha straightened his expression.
"Everyone must have questions, but don't underestimate this bundle of scallions! This is the spirit plant Sword Scallion!"
"It comes from the ancient spiritual energy revival, personally cultivated by the divine-level powerhouse, Dali True Man. With one scallion in hand, you can cut down the sun, moon, and stars!"
"Its power is immense. As long as you shout the command 'Power Daddy', this scallion can unleash sword qi. Everyone must have noticed the split venue."
"I accidentally cut it with this Sword Scallion yesterday. With just a gentle swing, I split the venue in half. It's truly a scallion of outstanding fame!"
As soon as this introduction was given, bursts of exclamations sounded in the venue.
"No wonder it could make it onto the Hundred Flowers Treasure List. So it's actually an ancient relic?"
"Does such a miraculous thing exist in this world?"
Qian Benying: !!!
"Isn't this the damn scallion Jiangnan used to slash people in the Metropolis? This is Jiangnan's goods? Ghost of a Dali True Man, are you kidding me?"
Jiangnan was overjoyed. Holy shit, one scallion cuts down sun, moon, and stars? I didn't know the Scallion Holy Sword was that awesome! Alpha is a talent too!
Rhode swallowed his saliva, his eyes full of interest. "Is it really that magical?" he said in shock.
Alpha smiled. "If you don't believe me, you can spend ten million to buy one and try! Haitang doesn't joke about its integrity."
Rhode laughed heartily. "Then let's try! Ten million for fun. If it's fake, you'll have to compensate!"
As he spoke, he transferred the money and, under everyone's gaze, pulled out a Scallion Holy Sword. With a loud shout: "Power Daddy!"
Jiangnan grinned slyly, raised his hand to release a spatial wormhole, and pinched hard under Tuna's crotch! Nut-Grabbing Hand!
Jiangnan grinned, and Tuna let out a yowl of agony.
Tuna: !!! The intense pain made him stand up abruptly.
"Huh? Who?" he growled.
Rhode had just shouted when Tuna stood up.
Rhode: "??? I shouted Power Daddy! Where are you answering? And 'huh'? Trying to take advantage of me?"
However, a thirty-meter-long cyan sword qi shot straight toward the venue ceiling, accompanied by gasps from the crowd.
"It really can produce sword qi? That's no small power?"
Rhode's figure suddenly disappeared from the stands, moving at unimaginable speed. He actually caught up with the scallion sword qi, blocked in front of it, and drew his blade to slash violently at it!
With a *shing*, a stunning cold light flew out and slashed directly into the scallion sword qi.
The blade light and sword qi clashed, and the blade was deflected, flying straight toward Tuna.
Tuna was startled and raised his hand to create a water wall to block.
With a *bang*, the water wall shattered, and even the chair Tuna was sitting on broke. He staggered back two steps, his face as ugly as if he had eaten a fly.
Rhode sheathed his sword, landed, and said with narrowed eyes, "My advantage is not something a piece of trash like you can take."
Tuna wanted to defend himself, but if he did, wouldn't that weaken his stance? Wouldn't it make him look afraid of Rhode from Blue Ice?
Who the hell grabbed my family jewels? Tuna's gaze immediately fell on Jiangnan.
Jiangnan looked innocent.
[Resentment value from Tuna +1000!]
"It was him who grabbed! I swear!"
Tuna pointed angrily. "You! Did you grab my peaches?"
Jiangnan spread his hands. "You can claim random sons, but you can't fart randomly!"
Tuna was furious. "Aiyo, damn you—"
Pang Badi said calmly, "This is my venue. If you don't want to stay, you can leave. I won't stop you."
No matter how angry Tuna was, he had to swallow his anger. He resignedly sat down, but as soon as he did, he was startled. Hiss—the stool is broken. If I really sit, I'll fall on my butt, won't I?
So Tuna tensed his thigh muscles, managed to squat in a horse stance, pretending to sit. No one would notice, right?
[From Tuna...]
Rhode glared fiercely at Tuna, his eyes full of cold light, then burst into laughter. "I'll take all these Sword Scallions! Not bad, not bad!"
Alpha smiled. "There are 10 left, each a unique piece, and you can cultivate them yourself back home."
"Starting price ten million each! Bidding begins!"
After witnessing the power of the Sword Scallion, everyone was tempted and frantically raised the price. But in the end, Rhode won them at twenty million each.
After paying, he looked excitedly at the ten glowing scallions, feeling he had obtained a remarkable treasure.
He himself was a user of the blade; if he could use a scallion to slash people, it would surely be domineering, right? Maybe he could even comprehend the sword's profound meaning from it.
Jiangnan was overjoyed. He couldn't even sell these scallions for 100,000 each, but here they sold for 20 million? Rhode was a good man. Blue Ice really has money!
Soon, the next item was brought out.
It was a top-grade spirit material as large as a small mountain. Sometimes it radiated scorching heat, sometimes it made one feel as if falling into deep winter.
Alpha: "The Blazing Ice Crystal from Snow Country! A top-grade spirit material, containing both ice and fire attributes! Extremely rare in existence!"
"It's the perfect choice for forging spiritual weapons! Starting price 300 million dollars!"
Jiangnan swallowed his saliva. Xiao Jiuwo was a spirit beast with ice and fire attributes. Eating this material could make her level up! He wanted it.
Jiangnan raised his paddle. "I bid 20 scallions!" he said.
As soon as he said that, the whole venue fell silent. Everyone was stunned. What the hell did he just bid? Scallions?
Seeing that everyone seemed confused, Jiangnan took out 20 glowing green scallions and slapped them on the table. "The same scallions as in Rhode's hand. I bid 20!"
"Each one is 20 million! These 20 are worth 400 million!"
At that moment, Rhode, who was holding the scallions and admiring them, froze.
Damn! Weren't they all supposed to be unique? And only ten left? How come so many suddenly appear? Is Jiangnan the owner of these Sword Scallions?
[Resentment value from Rhode +666!]
Why does it feel like he was scammed?
Alpha smiled with a kind but dangerous expression. "That depends on whether the owner accepts it. You can't use scallions as currency. So..."
Rhode said, "It's okay! But count them at the base price of ten million each." Blue Ice didn't lack that money, but such rare Sword Scallions should be taken as many as possible.
Jiangnan was startled, so Rhode was the buyer? "Alright! I bid 50 scallions!" With that, he took out another 30 and slapped them on the table.
At this moment, everyone in the auction house didn't know where to begin complaining. Why did this scene look so bizarre?
Tuna sneered. It seemed Jiangnan really wanted it? Then let him bleed. "600 million!"
Jiangnan's expression didn't change. "80 scallions!"
"Hah, 900 million!" Tuna said, looking at Jiangnan provocatively. "If you can, keep raising it." A smug expression appeared on Tuna's face. The price of this Blazing Ice Crystal was already inflated.
Jiangnan glared and immediately took out 10 bundles of scallions, slapping them on the table. Each bundle had 100 scallions! They piled up into a mountain of scallions.
"Come on! Call again? I have several hectares of scallion fields. Afraid of you?"
Rhode: "??? Damn! How can there be so many Sword Scallions? What about the ancient relics? Why do I suddenly feel these scallions aren't that valuable?"
[Resentment value from Rhode +1000!]
Tuna dared not raise further. If he did and Jiangnan backed out, spending over a billion on this material, he would be killed by his father. So he had to give up.
Jiangnan smoothly won the Blazing Ice Crystal mountain at the price of 100 scallions, happily stuffing it into his alternate dimension.
Jiangnan also took out a bundle of scallions and tossed it to Rhode.
Rhode frowned. "Wait! Why do some of your scallions glow and some don't? Are the non-glowing ones spoiled?"
Jiangnan casually pulled out a scallion and chanted, "Nah~ Power Daddy~ Dali Dali~" He swung the scallion, and the iron railing in front was cut cleanly, like a knife through butter.
Rhode's eyes widened. "Good heavens! The Sword Scallion is awesome!"
Jiangnan said, "There's an old saying in Huaxia: 'Glowing scallions bring honor to ancestors.' Those glowing ones are the ones about to seed, becoming scallion ancestors. They're all Sword Scallions, no difference! When using, don't forget to chant the mantra and use the sword technique. Just swing like I did."
He didn't have time to charge so many scallions. Anyway, he had told Rhode the mantra and sword technique. He should be able to use them, right?
Rhode suddenly understood. So that's what 'glowing scallions bring honor to ancestors' meant? Got it, got it!
Yao Hong looked at Jiangnan dumbfounded. So the boss used a hundred scallions to get this huge top-grade spirit material? That Black Gold Dome Card was practically given to Jiangnan for free! He hadn't spent a single cent of his own money so far?
As Jiangnan was finishing the transaction, a delicate small wooden box appeared on the treasure stage. Inside was a cookie.
Jiangnan looked expectant. Oh? His sheep cookie?
Alpha said indifferently, "Spirit Beast Cookie. Eating it grants the ability to communicate with spirit beasts. Starting price 100 million."
This casual introduction immediately made the sheep cookie a cold item. People discussed:
"This lousy cookie costs 100 million? Only a fool would buy it!"
"Yeah, yeah, communicate with spirit beasts? What use is that? Even the Hundred Flowers Grand Competition doesn't have all good items!"
"It's just filler, right? It's not even on the Hundred Flowers List."
Pang Badi sneered inwardly. The cookie he wanted, of course he would get it at the lowest price.
