Chapter 413 The Little Beggar's Counterattack and Ascension 12
Faced with this tense situation, all the expert guards in the business came in and stood in front.
After receiving the signal, the host hurriedly said, "Since you claim that this pill is a family heirloom, do you have any evidence?"
The old man sneered, and a jade plate appeared in his hand, engraved with unique runes.
The person in charge of the business changed his expression, as if he knew the origin of the jade token.
"I know that Linhai Trading Company is just a middleman, so I don't want to embarrass you. The loss of the elixir is our own fault, and we are willing to bear the responsibility. We will not pay you less than a penny. Today's action is just to hope to keep the elixir, and ask the trading company to introduce us to the person who provided the elixir."
The head of the business heaved a sigh of relief. "So that's how it is. Thank you for your magnanimity and understanding. Let's not talk about anything else for now. This auction has its own rules... We need to protect the personal information of the person who provided the auction items. We really can't..."
"Then I will wait here!" The old man's aura was as powerful as a rainbow and his voice was as loud as a bell. The words he said casually made those with low cultivation level present spit out blood.
Seeing that things were not going well, some people present retreated quickly.
In the end, only a few cultivators sent by aristocratic families were left. They had high cultivation levels and were unwilling to give up the Duxu Pill easily.
They knew very well that they could not defeat this mysterious old man, but Linhai Trading Company might not be without fault in today's incident.
Everyone came here for the Duxu Pill, but now due to external forces they don’t even have the chance to bid.
Linhai Trading Company has existed on the mainland for tens of thousands of years, and they definitely have good stuff in their hands. After finally finding the faults of Linhai Trading Company, they must force them to spit out some good stuff.
"Mr. Guo, what's going on? We're all here for the Duxu Pill. Are you not going to shoot anymore?"
"My master is still waiting for me to return and report. Could it be that Linhai Trading Company is deceiving us?"
"That's right, you can't just leave us waiting here! You have to give an explanation!"
"Oh, this, this..." Guo Quanling didn't know how to answer. There was an ancestor waiting on this side, and several grandchildren were urging him on the other side. What was going on?
"Everyone, please be patient. This is indeed a mistake made by our Linhai Trading Company. Please give our Linhai Trading Company some face. After the matter is settled, I will come to your door in person to apologize!" The person in charge of the trading company clasped his fists and bowed slightly.
"What's the point of apologizing? We didn't get the photos we needed, and even if you apologized a hundred times, it would be useless!"
Seeing this, Gu Qian hesitated for a moment and then walked out with Yuanyuan and Chi Yan.
"Mr. Guo."
"Gu Xiaoyou! Why did you come down?" Guo Quanling widened his eyes.
Surprised, he quickly pulled Gu Qian aside and said, "The situation is unclear right now. You should take your two friends back to the inn first to avoid being implicated. I will personally deliver the proceeds from the auction of the spiritual weapon to you later."
"Mr. Guo..." Gu Qian stopped him, "I have something here that can help you get through this difficult time temporarily."
"You? What do you have? A spiritual weapon? No! I know you are gifted, but auctioning off too many spiritual weapons will reduce your value!"
"No, it's a pill!" Gu Qian didn't waste any words and directly took out a Mirror-Breaking Pill.
As soon as the elixir came out, the fragrance filled the air.
"This...what is this?" Guo Quanling looked at the thing in Gu Qian's hand in shock.
Even other people at the auction could smell the fragrance of the elixir in Gu Qian's hand.
The mysterious old man twitched his nose and turned to look at Gu Qian, his eyes slightly narrowed, full of inquiry.
"The Broken Mirror Pill can also help cultivators cross the great barrier of the Mahayana stage and enter the Tribulation Crossing stage."
Guo Quanling's eyes burst into surprise, "How did you get it? You..."
He was so excited that he even stuttered, "Are you really going to shoot it?"
"Don't ask me how I got it. I don't want to lie. Now that I've taken it out, if I don't bid for it, am I expecting people to cause trouble to me?" Gu Qian couldn't help laughing out loud.
"That... is also true." Guo Quanling certainly knew what she meant. A man is innocent unless he is in possession of a treasure.
"I had already made the decision before I came down here. Since we are close friends regardless of age, I will help if I can."
"Qian! I really..." Guo Quanling wanted to cry right there. He had always been the one helping others, but now someone had really shown up to help him, and someone who could be his great-granddaughter. His heart was filled with...
Seeing Guo Quanling about to burst into tears, Gu Qian quickly said, "Don't be moved, just say a few words to them and take this pill for testing."
"Hey, okay! Just wait here, I'll be back soon!" Guo Quanling wiped his tears, quickly took the pill and walked onto the stage, and said to the person in charge and the host.
Gu Qian smiled, looking calm and composed, and ignored the temptations from Liu Shang and those beside him.
The old man didn't dare to act rashly at this time, because he found someone he couldn't see through.
"Master, who is this person? Why can he produce such a high-quality elixir? Judging from the fragrance of the elixir, it seems to be more fragrant than ours."
"Master doesn't know either, but she is definitely not an ordinary person! The two people around her have high cultivation levels, even Master can't see through them!"
"What! What should we do? I see that she seems to have a good relationship with this business. If she wants to help this business, what should we do?"
"Let's fight them! There are so many of us, how can we not win? The elixir was left by our ancestors, and now that Uncle Master needs it urgently, we must take it back!"
"Xianfang, don't be impulsive. If that woman really wanted to help Linhai Trading Company and stop us from getting the pills back, she wouldn't have handed over another pill to help them through this difficult time."
"Yes, Master is right! That woman must not be someone who cannot tell right from wrong. Let's wait and see how the company arranges it. If it really doesn't work, wait for the company to test and confirm that the pill given by the woman is genuine. Let's take a picture of that pill first to ensure that it is foolproof!"
The old man nodded at the dog and said, "Well, Jing Jun is right. Fortunately, we brought enough spirit stones with us this time. Otherwise, we would be no match for those upstarts."
Although Gu Qian didn't glance over there, he knew that the group of people were communicating using the tribe's secret method, which others could not understand or hear.
On the other hand, the business has announced that it has obtained another medicinal pill, and will put it up for auction as soon as the test results come out.
As soon as these words were spoken, the families upstairs suddenly fell silent.
But his inquiring gaze would still fall on Gu Qian from time to time.
"Round dumpling, let's emit pressure and let them know that we are not easy to mess with. But be cautious and don't use too much force."
"Yes, Master!"
After hearing the order, Yuanyuan slowly released a trace of pressure, which pressed towards those families like a substance.
Everyone felt as if they were enveloped by an invisible force, and breathing became difficult.
"receive!"
Following Gu Qian's order, the originally suffocating air immediately became smooth.
The people upstairs were still in shock, but when they came to their senses, they immediately apologized to Gu Qian and made it clear that they had no intention of offending her.
The old man was also shocked. The pressure from the Tribulation Crossing Stage...
