Chapter 435 Killing the chicken to scare the monkey

Zhou You heard the whispers in his ears and understood.

The young man was named Xi Junzi. He had been pestering this beautiful woman and even followed her to the auction house, spending lavishly in an attempt to win her favor.

His surname is actually the son of the Xi family, one of the five major families in Chongguang City.

The beauty's origin is much more mysterious. She keeps to herself, but no one dares to provoke her.

To be fair, if 20 taels are offered, even a woman with a heart of stone will be melted by the enthusiasm.

however……

"Thank you, but I don't want it."

The beauty politely declined and reminded Xi Junzi, "Blood marrow rhinoceros beads are best used as medicine, don't waste them."

Xi Junzi's smile froze on his face. It was not a pleasant feeling to be slapped in the face in public, and his expression gradually became gloomy.

At this moment, two women on the stage came over holding jade plates and said, "Guest, please pay."

The rule of the auction house is to pay on the spot, pick up the goods with one hand and pay with the other.

As long as Mr. Xi took the beads and placed money or other items of equivalent value on the jade plate, the transaction would be completed after identification.

However, Xi Junzi obviously didn't want to give it.

"Why do you want to hand it over? I don't want it anymore. Take the beads away!"

Xi Junzi was extremely irritable, but he could not vent his anger on the beautiful woman who rejected him, so he kicked the woman holding the jade plate in the stomach.

The woman groaned and staggered backwards. The jade plate slipped out of her hand and shattered into pieces, and the beads rolled to the ground.

Her face turned pale with anger. She didn't even bother to stand up, but knelt down to plead guilty to the platform, "This slave deserves to die."

"It's good to know. You can make your own decision!"

The dwarf said gently.

The woman pulled out a dagger from her bosom, stabbed it into her chest without hesitation, and fell to the ground dead.

Most of the guests present were used to it, only a few who had just arrived were shocked by the bloody shocking scene.

The corpse was dragged away, and the dwarf smiled and bowed to the people around him, "Please forgive me for disturbing your leisure time."

"The pearl has fallen to the ground, and its value has been greatly reduced. This item cannot be auctioned. We will take it back."

Xi Junzi shouted, "Hurry up and move on to the next game."

The dwarf looked at him and said, "The slave's account has been settled, sir, but we haven't settled your account yet!"

His expression suddenly changed, and he said, "Mr. Xi, you broke the rules of the auction house and regretted buying something. If you are not punished, our auction house will not be able to continue operating."

"Don't be so aggressive. Even if I regret it, your things are still there. Not a single hair is missing."

Before Xi Junzi noticed, the guests around him had quietly moved away from him.

The atmosphere in the auction hall also became heavy and depressing!

"I am from the Xi family. If you want to hold the auction in the city, you have to get my family's approval."

"Shut up and carry on. Otherwise, I will close your auction house."

The dwarf laughed and said, "Your mouth is really nice. It would be perfect for making a lamp."

As he spoke, he took a step forward. The dwarf was originally only as tall as a child, but after taking a step, his body grew explosively and in the blink of an eye he turned into a burly man with bulging hair and beard, as tall as two people.

Zhou You's eyelids twitched twice. This was a skill that only a strong man could possess.

The dwarf who was performing hard on the stage and even kowtowing to them turned out to be a powerful martial arts master.

The burly giant took the second step and crossed the long distance slowly, landing in front of Xi Junzi from the high platform, looking down at him from above.

"you you you……"

Xi Junzi was so scared that he stuttered, and it took him a long time to utter a word, "If you dare to touch me, the Xi family will not forgive you."

"Why should I show mercy? This is only the fifth auction." The next moment, the burly giant pinched him like a chicken, with heat and grease coming out from between his fingers.

Xi Junzi screamed heart-wrenchingly. When the giant man released his grip, his limbs had been squeezed and melted from his torso, and he was straight from top to bottom like a candle.

Swish!
After returning to the platform, the dwarf resumed his original position and tied up the screaming Xi Junzi beside him.

"I punish you by making you a human oil candle to add light to this auction."

After saying this, Xi Junzi rubbed his fingers together, and his tongue twisted in a spiral, turning into a wick and burning.

Oily sweat oozed from the pores all over his body, and he began to burn slowly and steadily. He raised his head and opened his mouth, and a large ball of light came out.

However, this seemingly warm light seems somewhat eerie and chilling no matter how you look at it.

Zhou You felt his throat getting a little dry. Is this the method of using force?

Xi Junzi was an intermediate martial artist after all, and he didn't even have the strength to resist. He was captured and abused at the first sight.

The auction continued, but the atmosphere was no longer as relaxed as before.

Zhou You noticed that many guests were secretly sweating and dared not make a sound, for fear of following Xi Junzi's fate.

By the way, this auction couldn't be an illegal underground transaction!
Although the dwarf was a strong martial arts expert, he ran his business regardless of his status and even killed the son of an aristocratic family.

No matter how you look at it, he doesn't seem like a good person?

The second lot is displayed on the platform...

"The complete copy of the Medicine King Canon, with full annotations by Lingzhi Pharmacist."

After hearing this, Zhou You became even more certain that the background color of this auction house was that of criminals.

They openly auctioned off the sect's internal classics, and the version of "Medicine King Canon" annotated by Lingzhi Pharmacist. This is an attempt to offend the Medicine King sect to death!

After Qi Fengzi joined the sect, she told Zhou You a lot of inside information about the Medicine King Sect.

"Medicine King Classic" is a common textbook within the sect, equivalent to the official textbook for nine years of compulsory education.

By mastering this book, one can upgrade from a beginner all the way to the pinnacle of Ganoderma Lucidum pharmacist. This book contains the sect's internal secrets that are strictly prohibited from being passed on to others.

After Qi Fengzi officially started learning, she could only learn part of the content and had no access to the other parts.

The entire volume of Medicine King Classic is already priceless, what about adding the personal annotations by Lingzhi Pharmacist?
Priceless treasure!

Zhou You noticed that several guests around him were moved, including the beautiful lady sitting next to him.

"...The reserve price is 2 taels of gold."

Guests from all around bid enthusiastically, and in a short while the price was raised to 4.5 taels.

Zhou You felt that his worries were unnecessary. The guests who attended the auction all knew what the environment was like here. Their purpose of coming here was to buy the "contraband" on the market.

"Two hundred and thirty-five thousand."

The beauty next door offered a high price again, and there was a period of silence around. It seemed that this price was approaching its limit.

The dwarf smiled and said, "Is there a higher price? If not..."

"One hundred thousand taels."

Zhou You decisively made an offer. One of the reasons why he came to Chongguang City was to get the secret recipe of Yaowang Sect.

The Medicine King Classic, especially the entire book, is extremely rare. The parts concerning the poisons of plants, living creatures, and metal and stone are of great help to him in refining the poisonous dragon saliva.

"it is good!"

The dwarf clapped his hands heavily. "5 taels of gold, is there anyone who can offer a higher price?"

After three rings, no one responded and the item finally fell into Zhou You's hands.

The woman brought the complete set of "Medicine King Classic" totaling 32 volumes on a jade tray and presented it to Zhou You.
