The crossed scholar

Page 535

"Ah? This has nothing to do with me? I'm just doing what's right!" Zhu Xiaobao shouted in surprise.

"What are you doing bravely? Could it be that my Penglai Immortal Territory isn't peaceful enough? Let's settle it!" The voice in mid-air was very impatient, and then Zhu Xiaobao felt that the three immortals had already left...

"Hehehehe! Listen clearly, three days, I'll come again in three days! This time, it was decided by Xiangu, it's very fair!" His Royal Highness immediately looked up to the sky and laughed, and said happily.Then he turned around and left proudly with a group of slaves!In her opinion, even if they were given another three days, they would still not be able to forge the dagger she requested!And now Xiangu is obviously biased towards her, and by the way, she also involved this scholar!

"Huh? What does this mean?" Zhu Xiaobao was also looking in a certain direction, a little confused.This Sanxian seems to have consciously involved herself. Could it be that she is really blindly protecting His Highness the Ninth Prince?

"My lord, I'm really sorry, I didn't expect you to be involved in this matter!" At this time, Blacksmith Xiang said with a guilty face and brought everyone together to salute Zhu Xiaobao.

"Oh! Oh!...It's okay, except for the 'Yayoi powder', these two knives can be re-smelted and re-forged!" Zhu Xiaobao really wanted to give them the 'Yayoi powder', and then stay out of the matter!Staying here is not wasting his time!

"Ah! Young Master, it's not what San Xianjun said just now, it's up to you to complete it! Your Highness Ninth Highness said well, the temperature of our furnace here is not up to the requirement, so it is impossible to complete his request at all! "Unexpectedly, at this time, everyone was very surprised to see Zhu Xiaobao. The words of the three immortals just now were very clear. How come Zhu Xiaobao is ready to run away?

"Ah? Is that what Sanxian Jun said? Damn, is it possible that I still have to be a blacksmith for three days? What is this called? Posting a piece of 'Yayoi powder' upside down is not counted, and people are also posted upside down?" Zhu Xiaobao also yelled, and thought about it carefully, it seems that he really said so!Zhu Xiaobao wondered if the Ninth Highness had colluded with the Three Immortals and brought himself into the ditch as soon as they sang together!

"... Otherwise, you don't have to make things difficult for me. In the past three days, we will gather together in private. Even if you invade your home and go bankrupt, I will give you the 5000 million spirit stones! You will never make things difficult for me!" Xiang Tiejiang gritted his teeth and said, in fact, he didn't have much confidence in his heart. How can 5000 million spirit stones be collected so easily?

"Forget it! Forget it! I can try a half-baked blacksmith too! You see, is this temperature enough?" Zhu Xiaobao waved his hand in displeasure, and flicked his finger, a 'Sunyang Pill' flew away After entering under the iron furnace, the temperature of the furnace suddenly rose sharply, and the people who were standing beside were all surprised and backed away several steps away!

"Ah? That's enough. I didn't expect you can do it? I will definitely cooperate with you to complete this business!" Xiang Tiejiang immediately said overjoyed, and the eyes that looked at Zhu Xiaobao became very hot. !

Just do it, the staff of Xiang's family immediately moved into action, rearranged the staff, Zhu Xiaobao also changed into a piece of Naihuo clothes, put on an apron, and stood out among the crowd of blacksmiths!

Of course, at this time, the blacksmiths from other families who surrounded them also automatically avoided. After all, each family has its own craftsmanship, so it is necessary to avoid suspicion at this time!

In fact, Zhu Xiaobao also forged a treasured sword at the beginning, didn't he also forge a 'Lengyue Xiaobaodao' for Wu Yue.But here, the method of "folding and forging" is not so effective. In this world, what is more important is the material, seven points of material and three points of technology!In fact, the higher the level of high-end weapons, the higher the materials required, and of course the higher the difficulty of refining!

So this time the crafting task still needs the guidance of the old craftsmen of the Xiang family.It's just that Zhu Xiaobao's half-baked skills are really anxious for those who watch it!The punched knife embryo is like a dog chewing on it!If this was Blacksmith Xiang's apprentice, I'm afraid he would have slapped him with a big mouth!

"Young master! I'll do it!" The dark and handsome Xiang Tiehua couldn't bear it anymore and shouted angrily.The more she looked at it, the more impatient she became. According to Zhu Xiaobao's craftsmanship, it is impossible to meet the requirements of His Highness Ninth Highness. The appearance alone has already been eliminated!

"Okay! Okay! My hands are shaking a little today, it's not like this usually!" Zhu Xiaobao knew that his living person would look down on him, but he still said cheekily.

But looking at this dark and dark beauty blacksmith forging tools is still a very enjoyable feeling!It's just that Xiang Tiehua's eyes are often cast aside, she dares to treat Zhu Xiaobao as a playboy!

Just looking at it, Zhu Xiaobao's attention was completely focused on the pair of short knives made by Xiang Tiehua. This craftsmanship is definitely much more superb than he thought. Could it be that the 'Mother-in-Chief Sword' that he helped build before? 'It's all about errands?Or is the material not good, and they didn't put their heart into it at all?

But when Zhu Xiaobao once again incorporated his own "folding and forging" method in the process of building, it immediately attracted the attention of blacksmith Xiang.

Although this method is not as effective as it is used in yellow-rank weapons, it can also improve the sharpness of weapons!The key point is that Zhu Xiaobao found that Blacksmith Xiang's expression was more dignified than surprised.

This shows that he has probably seen or heard of this method before!But he told Master Xiang Bing about this method!

……

After three days, the pair of short knives have been forged, completely comparable to the short knives in the hands of His Highness Ninth Prince, and even Blacksmith Xiang still has the confidence to surpass them!

When the members of the Xiang family finished the project, they even held a special banquet to celebrate, but what was strange was that Zhu Xiaobao was invited to a secret room alone, and there were only two people in the secret room, Tiejiang Xiang and Tiehua Xiang!

"My lord, what's your surname! Where do you come from?" Blacksmith Xiang asked solemnly for the first time.

"My name is Zhu Xiaobao, and I'm from Lingquan Town!" Zhu Xiaobao's answer is also very special, as long as anyone who understands it can understand it!

"What evidence is there!" Xiang Tiejiang didn't seem surprised at all, staring at Zhu Xiaobao closely and asked.

"I'm here to look for Wen Qing, and he has two gentle maids with him! The ravioli on this street should be made by these two maids!" Zhu Xiaobao said calmly.

"The young master's face is not his true face right now?" Tiejiang Xiang seemed to be still worried, and asked Zhu Xiaobao again.

"That's right! This is my true face. I believe you must have heard of it. It's easy to recognize!" Zhu Xiaobao simply took off the scholar's mask, and then smiled lightly. Now that he is in a happy mood, he finally checked The whereabouts of Xiang's family and Wen Qing have arrived!

"Hey! Young masters, you are really here! I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing! Huahua, go and get the things that the Patriarch left behind before he left!" Xiang Tiejiang sighed and said.

"Yeah!" Xiang Tiehua looked at Zhu Xiaobao in surprise and admiration at this time, but he didn't expect that this fellow was really the legendary fat man!And it's really special!It's just that the eyes are not very honest!But she seems to have completely ignored it!

The so-called thing is a very ordinary tin box with a letter inside.Zhu Xiaobao opened it and read it.Only then did he ask a little sluggishly: "They actually went to the 'Eastern Territory'? Why?"

"Hey! Young masters, we are only an external branch of the Xiang family, and it is because of the head of the Xiang family that we stay here to raise doubts. In fact, our branch has limited capabilities, and we have no access to the high-level secrets of the Xiang family. If it weren't for you , The Xiang family has almost nothing to do with us!" Xiang Tiejiang said with a sigh.

"Okay, I got it, um, when I leave Penglai Immortal Territory, I will definitely help you with the matter of His Highness the Ninth Prince!" Zhu Xiaobao thought for a while, and then solemnly promised...

The first thousand and 440 nine chapters half an expert

On the morning of the fourth day, His Highness the Ninth Highness came with a group of house slaves, and that Chu Tong followed like a pug!

But when they met, what His Highness Jiu didn't expect was that Zhu Xiaobao was already waiting there with a pair of short knives in his hand, smiling.Still in that scholarly attire, he looked calm and relaxed.

This made His Highness the Ninth Prince quite upset. This scholar's cultivation was obviously lower than his own, but this kind of demeanor was neither utter nor humble. Could it be that this person really has some special relationship with the Three Immortals?Otherwise, others would not be so arrogant when they saw people from the Chu family, especially His Royal Highness from the Chu King City!

"Hehe! I have seen His Highness the Ninth Prince. These are the pair of short knives you want. Fortunately, you can verify them on the spot!" Zhu Xiaobao acted impeccably as soon as they met, and his etiquette was not lost at all.But no matter how you look at it, it seems that he is taking the initiative!

"Hmph! If that's the case, then we don't owe each other! Didn't you expect the Xiang family to have such craftsmanship?" His Highness Ninth Prince drew out the dagger, and immediately he was naked, the blade was sharp and the workmanship was exquisite.No less than the dagger in his waist.He had no choice but to snort resentfully.

"No, no, this is not the Xiang family's craftsmanship, but my son's craftsmanship! How can such exquisite craftsmanship be refined by these low-level craftsmen?" Zhu Xiaobao corrected shaking his head. He said that he was deliberately leaving the Xiang family aside.The province will leave hidden dangers with the Xiang family in the future.

"Hmph! Well, then, may I ask your surname, which family does it belong to? It shouldn't be from the Chu Wangcheng family!" His Highness Jiu snorted coldly. He didn't expect that today would be a waste of time. Black Sister can't do anything!It is unlikely to be possible in the future, which is really annoying!

"A first-rank leisurely scholar, it's not worth mentioning! I don't dare to hope to be high! Please come back, Your Highness Ninth Prince!" Zhu Xiaobao cupped his hands, politely rejecting His Highness Ninth Prince's question.

"Bold, Your Highness Ninth Prince asked you, you still dare to hide it, I think you are impatient!" Chu Tong was the first to jump out at this time, pointing at Zhu Xiaobao and loudly accused.

"Snapped!"

Unexpectedly, Zhu Xiaobao, who was still smiling at first, raised his hand to open his mouth, and then turned Chu Tong around in a daze.

"You... you still dare to hit me?" Chu Tong covered his face and screamed again. He had already been slapped twice last time. This time, this person is still so arrogant?

"Hmph! Although your surname is Chu, you are not a direct descendant of the emperor. At least you should know that in the cultivation world, those who have achieved it are respected! My cultivation base is much higher than yours. If you dare to disrespect me, it is not right to beat you!" Is it?" Zhu Xiaobao said calmly, as if he didn't pay attention to the son of the Fourth Prince's Mansion at all.

It is true that there are such rules in the world of comprehension, but how can anyone really dare to use this as a basis to do something to the prince's son, and it is too late to curry favor on weekdays!Those rules are only for casual cultivators...

"Bold! You are too presumptuous, anyway, he is also my cousin! Who gave you the courage? Sanxianjun?" His Highness Jiu also shouted a little angrily, this really made him unable to step down!But the more powerful Zhu Xiaobao is, the more puzzled His Highness Jiu will be!Although he was very annoyed, he didn't dare to fight again, and he knew that if he did it, he really couldn't beat Zhu Xiaobao!

"Ah?... That's right, that's right, Sister Xianjun has benefited from me, so of course she wants to uphold justice for me!" Zhu Xiaobao was taken aback for a moment, and then recognized the powerful man he had picked up by licking his face. Backstage!

"Getting your benefits? Why? Just relying on your cultivation?" The Ninth Prince questioned suspiciously. What kind of benefits can a person with a low cultivation level get!Does San Xianjun want anything?Even if it is his own legendary figure Erxianjun, he has to give way to Sanxianjun a bit!

"Why? Um...you look at it, and I gave more than 100 pieces to Sister Xianjun just because of this 'Ten-pattern Nourishing Pill'!" Zhu Xiaobao rolled his eyes, and then threw out a brocade box , which is really a 'Ten-pattern Nourishing Pill'!

This was refined before leaving 'He Mu Cheng Chi'.Because a total of three were refined, in order to keep the bowl of water level, Mu Jiajing and He Jiaqing had to give one each, and the extra one was brought with me.I didn't expect it to come in handy now!

"Huh? It's really ten lines. Isn't it said that nine lines of pills are the limit? How can there be ten lines? A few years ago, there was a concubine in the palace who spent a lot of money to go to the 'Ding's Castle'. Refining an 'Eight-pattern Nourishing Pill' has already alarmed the concubines and princesses! Now there are ten patterns? Then don't you want to turn the Chu Palace upside down?" His Royal Highness Jiu and Chu Tong Tong looked at each other in blank disbelief.I dare not say anything else, but this kind of beauty product is the deadliest temptation for women!Sanxianjun is also a woman!

"I don't believe it! You forge iron for a while, and make alchemy for a while, who do you think you are? You came from the elixir island?" Chu Tong shouted angrily.

"Hehe! You can teach me! You are really talking about it! This son is a senior alchemist certified by Xiandan Island! Therefore, the alchemy has the same effect for me!" Zhu Xiao In the blink of an eye, Bao changed into the special high-level alchemist's costume of Xiandan Island, and for a while, his momentum rose sharply, standing proudly!

"Hmm...hehe... Master Immortal, can you sell this 'Ten-pattern Nourishing Pill' to my Highness? The price is easy to say, you can make a price as you like!" His Highness Ninth really believed it this time.

Maybe this guy really has something to do with Sanxianjun. Once a woman sees this kind of beauty product, she can do anything!Don't talk about protecting this scholar!So His Royal Highness immediately put on a smiling face and asked.He also wanted to take this 'Ten-pattern Nourishing Pill' back to honor his own mother!

"Hehe! Impossible, because this 'Ten-pattern Nourishing Pill' will be auctioned at the auction. If His Highness the Ninth Prince is interested, you can go to the auction in two days! With the strength of the Ninth Highness, it should be easy to win. !" Zhu Xiaobao shook his head and said, he hadn't planned to do this before, but now he suddenly thought of such a good idea, in this way, it can distract the attention of those big players who are staring at the 'Tian Tian Bow'!

"That means there is nothing to discuss? Your Excellency, you must be sensible!" His Highness Ninth snorted.

"Xiangu! Someone dares to threaten me, come out! I'm so scared!" Unexpectedly, Zhu Xiaobao yelled loudly into the air, as if the Three Immortals would really appear.

"Shut up! It's alright, alright, I'll go to the auction house myself! You don't have to call!" His Royal Highness was startled immediately. He didn't expect that this guy was still calm and personable just now, but in a blink of an eye he was gone. This kind of snarky and unruly behavior is simply the best!The point is that His Royal Highness Nine is really afraid of recruiting the Three Immortals!

Seeing the Ninth Highness and His Highness fleeing in a hurry, Xiang Tiejiang came over and clasped his fists to express his thanks: "Thank you, my lord, for helping my Xiang family!"

"Okay, no one will come to make trouble in the future! You can rest assured to manage!" Zhu Xiaobao waved his hands, since the things Wen Qing and Xiang Bing told them have been completed, it is true that there will be no trouble here. What more trouble!

In the end, the little BMWs went to the auction house non-stop, and really registered and bid for that 'Ten Patterns Beauty Pill'!

In less than two days, this auction meeting attracted the attention of all parties, never before had so many people paid so much attention to it.

The key point is that more than half of the people who come to inquire about information this time are women, most of them are housekeepers from big families, or housekeepers from various palaces, and what's more, there are some women with advanced cultivation levels who are casual practitioners!Also eager to try.

You guys haven't seen the ten-pattern 'Yang Yan Pill' before.Although the level of 'Yangyan Pill' is not high, but who has seen the 'Yangyan Pill' refined into ten patterns?

"It's broken! It's broken! The commotion this time is a bit too loud! Will that damned Ninth Prince pass on what I said? If that third fairy really heard what I said... ...Then... the consequences are unimaginable!" This time it was Zhu Xiaobao's turn to get a little nervous, but he didn't expect the rumors to be flying all over the sky in just two days!

……

In the southeast corner of the King Chu City, on a beautiful mountain peak, a group of nuns are collecting various elixir on the mountain.And on the top of the mountain there is really a medicine cauldron, which is refining a pill, and it is the three immortals of Penglai Immortal Realm, Yugu, who is refining the pill!

In the meantime, Immortal Yugu's hands are light and her movements are freehand. She seems to be making alchemy lightly. On the other side, she is still listening to a female cultivator under her hand reporting to her, frowning from time to time...

"...What? Did he really say that? Is there really a 'Ten Lines Nourishing Pill'?" Sanxian Jun waved his hand, removed the flame from the pill furnace, and held the newly refined "Yangyan Pill" ’, I couldn’t help shaking my head, it’s just five patterns, it’s basically useless for these female cultivators!

"Yes! This guy is still preaching everywhere, claiming to be your younger brother, Master! He also said...and said..." The female cultivator who was reporting back was a little hesitant and didn't dare to say any more, because she saw that the three immortals were clearly interested in this. I was very disappointed in the alchemy once, and just flicked away the "Five Patterns Nourishing Pill" that I just refined...

"What are you talking about? Don't hesitate! Tell the truth, don't miss a single word!" San Xianjun suddenly shouted in displeasure.

"Yes yes yes! He also said that he gave you more than 100 'Ten Pattern Nourishing Pills' as a filial piety, which scares His Highness Ninth away!"

"Hehe! I didn't expect him to pretend to be a tiger, and to use my name to bluff and cheat? Come on, change clothes, let's go to the auction house to see! I want to see if this 'Ten-pattern Nourishing Pill' is real!"

"Yes! Master, what if it's true?"

"Hmph! Let him cash in those 100 coins! If he dares to brag, I dare to take it!"

The first thousand and 450 chapters who will fight

Finally came the day of the auction, Zhu Xiaobao also rushed to the auction house early in the morning, because he had entrusted the lot before, so it was quite special, he could enter directly, and he could bring up to two attendants, This is just right, even the big buckwheat and small buckwheat can save the basic entrance fee!

In fact, people who come here to participate in the auction don't care about the entrance fee at all. This is mainly to control the number of people.Even so, people who had already come from all directions arrived at the entrance of the auction house one after another, and there was even a crowded queue at the entrance, but the order was still maintained very well, and it did not appear to be chaotic.This fully demonstrated the strength of this auction house.

Originally, as Zhu Xiaobao, he could have a seat in the back row.Zhu Xiaobao didn't care about these, anyway, although it wasn't very far ahead, it was enough for him to see everything on the booth clearly.

But I didn't expect to see the shopkeeper rushing over before I sat down.It was the proud shopkeeper, but at this time he was a little sincere and fearful: "Hehe! I'm sorry, I'm sorry, sir, your private room has already been prepared, but I haven't been able to inform you in time, I'm sorry what!"

"Huh? Shopkeeper, today I came to participate in the auction sincerely, and I don't want to compete with you. It's boring if you do this! I haven't booked a private room, and I know that it doesn't matter if I can't book it. Now you say that, Are you trying to make fun of me?" Zhu Xiaobao said with a downcast face, very dissatisfied.

Some time ago, just because of selling some extra goods and bargaining with the shopkeeper, the two of them got very unhappy. Didn't expect the other party to come here reluctantly?

"No, no, son, you really misunderstood! Although it wasn't the private room you ordered, someone has already booked it for you, and even paid for it!" Unexpectedly, the shopkeeper's today is completely different from the last time. It was like two different people, hurriedly, anxiously and sincerely said, completely lost the arrogance of the original arrogance!

"Oh? This is strange. Who can easily book the most luxurious private room with such a big hand? Could it be His Highness the Ninth Prince?" Zhu Xiaobao asked even more surprised, because he saw the private room key in his hand It turned out to be the sixth room in Tianzi, and there are only nine luxury private rooms in Tianzi. At the beginning, Zhu Xiaobao just asked, but the price quoted by the shopkeeper frightened him away abruptly. The asking price for a private room at Jiantian starts at 5000 million top-grade spirit stones.

"Hehe! Young master, you know that we are not allowed to disclose any information or identity of the big customers who come here. Don't make things difficult for me. Anyway, you just go, after all, Tianzihao What you want in the private room is much more comfortable than here! More importantly, no one can detect any situation in the room, and no spiritual sense can penetrate in! Moreover, there are high-quality female nuns provided by our bank. , to meet any of your needs!" The shopkeeper was already sweating anxiously.

Seeing that so many people have already entered the arena, the shopkeeper really doesn't have time to stay with Zhu Xiaobao, what a waste of time!Besides, the person who asked him to invite Zhu Xiaobao today made his legs weak even more. If he had known that he should have reserved a luxurious private room for Zhu Xiaobao that day...

"Okay! Lead the way! We're going to Howe

Enjoy the private room! "As soon as Zhu Xiaobao heard that he could isolate his consciousness from all investigations, he immediately agreed. Besides, there are free high-quality female nuns, so it's not for nothing!

In the eyes of big buckwheat and small buckwheat, Zhu Xiaobao struttingly followed the shopkeeper, while the shopkeeper nodded and bowed in front, which was completely different from the last time!

But to Zhu Xiaobao's surprise, as soon as they entered the luxury private room, Daqiao and Xiaoqiao were very happy to drive out all the nuns and maids in the room...

"Hey! What are you doing here? I just want to know what kind of services they have, and they can show off everywhere when they go out in the future!" Zhu Xiaobao cried out very dissatisfied.

These two maids are getting more and more bold now, often interfering in his private life!But it's still some private life that is hard to talk about, so Zhu Xiaobao can't find a good excuse even if he wants to use family law!

"Hee hee! That's good, what kind of service do you need? Let us sisters come and guarantee your satisfaction, and we don't charge any fees!  …

"Come on, have fun, there's plenty of time anyway

Come on, love, anyway, there is a lot of desire

Come, wander, and have a lot of directions anyway

Come on, pretend, anyway, there is a lot of scenery

itch..."

While talking, the two of them instantly turned back into enchanting and graceful figures, under Zhu Xiaobao's eyes

The front twisted, and the temperature in the room suddenly became a little hotter...

"Stop! Stop! Stop! You two are looking for death! I have serious business to do today! Change me back to the original appearance of a good woman!" Zhu Xiaobao quickly stopped and shouted viciously.But he was still blushing and heartbeating, there was no way, every time he faced the temptation of the two of them, Zhu Xiaobao was still a little afraid!So it has been too late to help them recover to the 'false wonderland'!

"Hee hee! Yes, my lord!" Seeing Zhu Xiaobao's distressed appearance, the two regained the dignified and gentle appearance of a young woman from a good family, but there was also a trace of the charm of a mature woman...

Looking out from the private room at this time, the auction meeting had already begun. A senior old man on the booth made a simple opening remark in a very formulaic way, but specifically mentioned several important auction items of today.Among them is the high imitation 'Tiantian Bow'.Of course his 'Ten Lines of Beauty Pill' is not included!

Looking down from the window of the private room, the field of vision is extremely wide, and most of the people participating in the auction can be seen.I have to say that this auction house is the largest and most luxurious that Zhu Xiaobao has ever seen, it can accommodate 3 to [-] people.The surrounding buildings are all resplendent and magnificent, and the service staff interspersed in the middle are also uniformly dressed, orderly and timely.Make sure that the various requirements of people sitting in ordinary seats can also be met in time!

The first lot surprised Zhu Xiaobao, it turned out to be a 'Seven-pattern Calming Pill', although Zhu Xiaobao is not rare, but in the eyes of others, especially those casual cultivators eager to break through their cultivation, That's like a life-saving baby!The reason why many people can't break through their cultivation is because of their lack of spiritual consciousness, so the 'Spiritual Concentration Pill', which can increase the cultivation of spiritual consciousness by [-] to [-] percent at once, definitely caused crazy bidding at the beginning!

Unsurprisingly, this 'Seven Patterns Calming Pill'

'Finally, a deal was made with 3000 million spirit stones.This auction house really understands the hearts of the high-rollers very well, and pushed the atmosphere to a climax as soon as it came up!

But Zhu Xiaobao also discovered another difference, that is, there are a lot of female cultivators or daughters of wealthy families who come today!Don't ask, it must be for the 'Ten Patterns Nourishing Pill'!

At the beginning of the auction, all the same items were sold at high prices, but they did not attract too much attention from Zhu Xiaobao. Even if he had his favorite baby, he did not dare to ask the price casually!It was only then that he realized that his little money was nothing at all!It is probably the most shabby of all luxury private rooms!

"I'll offer 5000 million spirit stones!" Finally, Zhu Xiaobao couldn't help but bid, because a plant of 'Orchid and Grass' appeared on the stage, and it was 2000 years old. It was he who refined the 'Attribute Pill' It is necessary, although there are already two plants around him, but they are not as old as this one!Zhu Xiaobao is absolutely unwilling to let go of this rare and rare medicinal material!

But this is just the beginning, with more and more people raising the price, seeing this 'Orchid and Grass' being pushed to a high price of 5000 million...
