Chapter 43: The Auction of the Ten Thousand Treasure Pavilion (Part I)

A few people followed the staff of the Wanbao Pavilion to the auction venue, and saw that although the decoration style of the door of the venue was simple and atmospheric, but the interior was its own, and the decoration was extremely luxurious, among which the lobby could accommodate a thousand people, and there were boxes on the second floor for the major forces and cultivators who did not want to reveal their identities, and the materials used in those boxes could isolate all prying eyes, even if someone won the treasure, no one would know who got it, and did their best to ensure the privacy of customers.

Although the seats in the lobby are not as private and luxurious as the box on the second floor, they are isolated from a number of areas by a gauze curtain woven of Lei Chi Kunpeng down feathers, but it also looks simple and atmospheric, and it can also play a certain role in isolation, preventing the snooping of the consciousness and perception of the ill-intentioned, and these divided areas in the lobby can accommodate about seven or eight people, but there is no regulation of who this area belongs to, so familiar and unfamiliar people sit together.

The staff of Wanbao Pavilion led Zhao Qin'er and a few people to a partition area in the lobby and left, several of them were casual and peaceful, after they sat down, they just occupied a partition area, picked up the auction brochure on the table and chatted while reading, waiting for the auction to start soon.

Jiang Chen and the three of them looked around, but they didn't see Zhao Rong and the others. Looking at the people who kept entering the venue, dressed in different ways, except for those who had absolute confidence in their own strength and the forces behind them, the vast majority of them basically covered their faces, if anyone deliberately looked at themselves, they immediately released their aura to demonstrate to that person, and the number of bidders in the entire venue gradually increased, and the whispers were endless.

The area next to Zhao Qin'er and the others was also full of people, but looking at the situation, it didn't seem to be a group of people, they all looked at each other vigilantly, considering the identity of the other party. Sitting in the area near Zhao Qin'er was a cultivator who wrapped his whole body in a black cloak, his breath was cold and lonely, occupying a place alone, and the rest of the people in the same area with him were all sitting away from him, looking up at the man in black from time to time, and then bowing his head and whispering a few words to his companions beside him.

Zhao Qin'er had also noticed this cultivator with a cold breath for a long time, because when this person arrived, the surrounding temperature seemed to drop by a few points, and Zhao Qin'er, who had a keen perception, couldn't help but be secretly vigilant, but he didn't use his divine sense to probe the reality of the other party, because some cultivators with strange personalities would think that this was a provocation and caused unnecessary trouble. After Zhao Qin'er glanced at the mysterious cultivator, she and Lu Xiangning were still discussing the items to be auctioned at today's auction with Lu Xiangning and the others holding a beautiful auction brochure, and Jiang Chen and the three of them also gathered together, holding an auction brochure in their hands and whispering without knowing what they were discussing. There are more than 30 lots in this auction, which are divided into two parts for auction, which are divided into two stages: elixir and spirit soldier. Except for the finale, which only has some brief introductions, the rest of the lots are painted with images for the auctioneers to understand. Wanbao Pavilion holds an auction every ten years, and the lots are all treasured items collected from all over the mainland, so every time Wanbao Pavilion holds an auction, it is comparable to a grand event.

Suddenly, I heard Zhao Qin'er say to Xiangming: "Xiang'er, what do you think of this spiritual treasure?" Hearing Zhao Qin call her, Xiangming, who was originally sitting on Jiang Chen's side, leaned towards Zhao Qin'er, Lu Xiangning and Xue Dan also gathered over, looked at the introduction of the spiritual treasure and said: "It's really good, it's suitable for Xiang'er's spiritual vein and personality." But he didn't say much about the price marked, just looked at Zhao Qin'er with some surprise. Zhao Qin'er handed the booklet to Xiang Ming, Xiang Ming took it and looked at the book painted a jade bracelet style spirit treasure, the jade bracelet style spirit treasure on the picture, shaped like two carp, surrounded by a full moon, the tail of the two fish is connected, there is a round bead between the fish head, there is a water essence in the bead in the circulation, only to see that the water spirit in the bead seems to be sucked into the body by the carp on the left, and then flow into the body of the carp on the right, spit out from its mouth and injected into the bead, the cycle repeats, endlessly. Look at the introduction and read: "The name is Fish Dragon Pei, now it is a spiritual treasure on the ground level, and it has been identified by Wanbao Pavilion as a growth spirit soldier, and it can be advanced to the artifact series if it encounters a special opportunity." It was obtained from the secret collection of the White Emperor of the original Dayu clan in Tibet 100 million years ago, and was made of Yaoguang's best water essence jade, which is suitable for water vein spirituality. ”

Xiang Ming looked at the two carps that seemed to be ready to leap up at any time, and her heart was full of love, but when she looked at the auction price marked with 10,000 Continent Pass Five Elements Spirit Stone, she was suddenly startled, and hurriedly said, "Princess, this is not suitable for me." I'll wait for the auction to get over and go around the first floor, there must be a suitable spirit soldier for me. ”

Zhao Qin'er said: "I see that you like this girl, this is it." I can be regarded as a teacher on your cultivation path, and I will officially hold an apprenticeship ceremony when I go back today, and this spiritual soldier can be regarded as a gift of apprenticeship for your teacher. Xiangming heard Zhao Qin'er say this, and she really didn't know how to refuse. Lu Xiangning, who was next to him, whispered to Zhao Qin'er: "Qin'er, have you noticed the price? Zhao Qin'er smiled lightly and patted the hands of Lu Xiangning and Xue Dan, who was also worried, signaling the two of them to rest assured. The two of them looked at Zhao Qin'er's flat and natural expression, and thought that although Zhao Qin'er usually spoke and behaved informally, she had always acted steadily, so they relaxed their hearts. And Xiangming looked at her princess as if she couldn't refuse, and she couldn't say anything, so she had to accept it silently, and her heart was full of emotion.

Jiang Chen and the three of them looked at the items that were about to be auctioned on the brochure over and over again, Yue Wujing had a soft spot for a bell painted on the brochure, this spirit soldier was a minor spirit soldier, which helped to calm the mind and calm, it was very good for the soul, and it also had the effect of alerting danger to approaching. Yu Chide and Jiang Chen looked at it for a long time, but they didn't know how to choose, but the three of them were very curious about the Dao plate that was not painted in the book. What kind of grade and what does this treasure look like, the introduction does not say anything, but the source of this treasure is described in detail. It was obtained from a secret treasure that had never been opened in the depths of the Hanlan Mountain System, and the Wanbao Pavilion Headquarters sent four powerhouses of the Taixuan Realm and one powerhouse of the Super Taixuan Realm into that secret vault, but only the powerhouse of the Super Taixuan Realm returned with this Dao Disk seriously injured. It is also noted that this heavy treasure was identified by Master Kang Ruitong, the chief treasure connoisseur of the Wanbao Pavilion headquarters, and this plate is the entrance to an ancient legacy space, but Wanbao Pavilion has no ability to open this plate, so this plate is sent here to participate in the auction. The starting price marked is as high as 500,000 spirit stones, and each increase in price shall not be less than 100,000 spirit stones.

Zhao Qin'er, Lu Xiangning and Xue Dan were discussing in a low voice what that plate was, even Zhao Qin'er, who had traveled all over the mainland, had heard of that dish for the first time, this kind of thing was rarely mentioned in various ancient books, Jiang Chen and the three of them sitting next to him were also listening attentively to the speculations of several adults, and suddenly three rhythmic, crisp wooden hammers hitting the table resounded throughout the venue. I don't know when there was an old man standing on the central auction table, wearing a navy blue robe, with the emblem of Wanbao Pavilion embroidered in the middle of the robe, the cornucopia, and the three words Wanbao Pavilion embroidered on his chest.

Seeing the old man, the venue that had just recovered a little quiet, and there was a whisper, but someone recognized the old man and whispered, "Wanbao Pavilion has asked Kang Lao to personally preside over this auction here, and it seems that he really attaches great importance to that plate." ”

I saw that the old man coughed lightly, and the silence in the field was restored, and everyone's respect for this old man was not only due to his identity as the chief treasure connoisseur of the Wanbao Pavilion, but also because this old man was a strong man with a fourth-layer cultivation in the Taixuan Realm.

The old man named Kang Ruitong coughed lightly and waited for the venue to be quiet before he spoke: "Some people already know why my Wanbao Pavilion will arrange such a large-scale auction in this little-known small city, instead of my Wanbao Pavilion headquarters, but some people still don't know the original tail, then I will explain to you here, everyone in the province blames my Wanbao Pavilion for forgetting the supreme principle of considering all customers." ”

After Kang Ruitong looked around for a week, he saw that some people really didn't know the reason and looked confused, and asked their companions around him for something. And those who knew the original tail did not prevent him from revealing the secret, or did not dare to stop it. Only then did he say: "This time, I, Wanbao Pavilion, will give you a message for free to compensate those friends who came from afar to support the scene." This time, my Wanbao Pavilion chose to auction here because there is an ancient secret treasure in the West Sea near Jiunao Prefecture that is about to be opened, and it is rumored that it is a secret treasure left by a great force located in the western realm in ancient times, and the inheritance of that force has been cut off, if there are cultivators in this trip can get the core inheritance of that secret treasure, it is not impossible to reproduce the glory of this force in ancient times. Therefore, my Wanbao Pavilion will hold this auction here, just because this place is the closest to the sea area opened by the secret storage, one is for everyone's convenience, and the other is to prevent everyone from missing the auction event of my Wanbao Pavilion once every ten years. And my Wanbao Pavilion for the opening of the secret treasure, urgently allocated a batch of materials, if you want to go to that secret adventure friends, but lack the necessary equipment, you can come to my Wanbao Pavilion to purchase, my Wanbao Pavilion will be 20% off. ”

Zhao Qin'er looked at the old man who was too dignified and too Xuanjing Realm to cultivate, and even gave up his cheeks to give Wanbao Pavilion such a hard publicity, and couldn't help but chuckle This Wanbao Pavilion really deserves the title of its nickname "Pixiu Pavilion", and did not miss any opportunity to make money. I thought of the three years I traveled to the mainland with Jiang Ye, after I left Jiunao Prefecture at that time, I was really like a wild horse on the loose, where there was a lively look, I didn't let Jiang Ye clean up the aftermath for himself, and the auction conference of this Wanbao Pavilion was naturally experienced, and it caused a lot of trouble at that time.

Those who didn't know this news, when they heard this news, they all discussed with their peers, whether they wanted to go to the secret treasure that Kang Ruitong said was about to be opened, and they never doubted the authenticity of this news, the products of Wanbao Pavilion must be high-quality, and it was impossible to fool them into ruining the reputation they had built up for tens of thousands of years on these things.

I heard someone ask in a loud voice: "Elder Kang, do you know which ancient force belongs to the secret treasure that will be opened in the western sea? Why didn't we find anything in Jiunao Prefecture this time, and there were no signs?" Someone else asked: "Elder Kang, do you know when that secret treasure will be opened?"

Kang Ruitong, who was standing on the auction table, looked at the two people who suddenly asked, but he didn't have the slightest anger, and still said slowly with a smile: " There is a secret hidden in the western sea, it has long been recorded, that secret treasure appears once every 10,000 years, and every time there is a large fog in the inaccessible sea area, there are merchant ships and tourists who have strayed into the period and say that they have seen a ruined palace group there, but no one has ever really entered it, and what kind of power does that secret treasure belong to in ancient times, but there is no record in the ancient books of the Heavenly Apocalypse Palace, and I don't know.

As for why there was news that the secret vault would be opened this time, it was because there were cultivators passing by that sea area who could clearly see that there were palaces looming in the sky of that sea area, but there was no fog covering the sea, so it was speculated that the secret treasure was about to be opened. I really don't know when it will be opened, but according to the latest news, the dilapidated palace complex has been shining with a faint golden light at night recently. The major forces that have received the news have already sent people to prepare in this aura-barren Jiu Nao Prefecture, so I will choose the auction in this Feng'an City, which is the closest to that sea area, and invite everyone to participate, which has caused a lot of inconvenience to everyone, and I also invite Haihan. ”

The old man said so much in one breath, paused, and found that no one asked any questions, and everyone in the audience whispered about the secret that Kang Ruitong had just said. Kang Rui coughed lightly and said: "Now that the Wanbao Pavilion auction conference has officially begun, as for the rules of my Wanbao Pavilion auction, you should all be familiar with it, I won't say more, if you don't understand, you can just look at the back page of the brochure at hand, and I won't annoy everyone." ”

As he spoke, he raised the wooden hammer in his hand and tapped it lightly, and said directly: "Now let's start the first auction of the Ten Thousand Year Soul Flower, which is taken from the deep Yin Xun Mountain in the Hanlan Mountains. If a cultivator's soul has been injured or you are a soul cultivator, don't miss it, this spiritual flower can heal soul injuries and help stabilize and strengthen the soul. The starting price is 5,000 spirit stones. Each increase shall not be less than five hundred spirit stones. Then he struck the wooden hammer in his hand, and there were cultivators in the audience who were really in urgent need, and there were also cultivators who were preparing for the future, and began to bid for the auction.

Jiang Chen and the others had seen this kind of scene for the first time, and they saw that it was so lively, and the Ten Thousand Year Soul Flower was finally auctioned away by the black-robed monk next door to Zhao Qin'er at a price higher than the starting price of 2,500 spirit stones. Zhao Qin'er looked at the three confused young people, and explained to them on the side, Lu Xiangning and Xue Dan occasionally asked Zhao Qin'er about some things that they didn't understand, although everyone didn't participate in the bidding for these items, they didn't feel bored.
