Chapter 38: The Window of the Heart
When Zhang Yuan was already sitting in the No. 49 VIP room of Tianyuan Auction House, he was still thinking about the things on the Honghuang Continent in his heart, after all, when he left the Honghuang Continent, it was already late at night, so it was too late for Zhang Yuan to experiment, whether he really solved the previous trouble, because Zhang Yuan didn't want to miss today's auction, this kind of rare thing, how could Zhang Yuan easily miss it.
Of course, sitting in the VIP room at the moment are Qin Siyu, Kawabe Xiaomei, Thor Johnson, Lin Feng and Xin Feizi, only Zhang Yue, who has been following Zhang Yuan's side, is missing, it's not that Zhang Yue doesn't want to participate in this auction, it's just that after Zhang Yuan just came back from the Flood Continent, he immediately went to the room where Zhang Yue and Thor Johnson were, and asked Zhang Yue to leave immediately and go back to the secular world, one is to take a look at his parents, and the other is to ask Hua Feng to prepare a relatively complete set of documents of the Three Kingdoms period for himself, and he needs to send these to Zhuge Liang in the fastest time, otherwise, Zhang Yuan is really a little worried.
Time flies quickly, Zhang Yuan and the others will inevitably come to the auction house with Ji Yao, so it is inevitable that they will be slightly earlier than the others, Zhang Yuan originally thought that he would be bored waiting for an hour before the auction would start, but he didn't expect that he was just in a daze, and the time for the auction to start had already arrived.
I don't know when, there has been a relatively kind uncle on the rostrum of the hall, of course, Zhang Yuan will not believe this person's face, and this person is definitely a person who is different from the outside, although this description of this person may be a little inappropriate, but if this person is really kind, I am afraid that this auction house can only go out of business.
Before I came, I heard Ji Yao say that in order to gather everyone's attention, the first lot auctioned after the auction starts will put out a better thing, only in this way can we successfully attract most people's attention to the auction table, so Zhang Yuan is also ready to take a look, this focus is destined to be on the auction of Xianjing, what kind of treasure will appear.
"Hello everyone, this is the monthly auction of Tianyuan Auction House, but because the auction items are a little special, so we will choose to conduct the auction a few days in advance, after all, our Tianyuan Chamber of Commerce does not want to waste too much security because of such an item, so we decided to advance, and we sincerely apologize to you here for the inconvenience caused." ”
After the auctioneer said such a sincere word, he turned his eyes to the audience, and after seeing that no one had any objections to the advance of this auction, he continued: "Fellow Daoists, hello everyone, I am the auctioneer of this auction, Wang Gong, in order to save everyone's time, I will not continue some useless polite words, now let's directly invite our No. 1 lot." ”
After Wanggong's voice fell, two female monks slowly walked out from behind the curtain carrying a plaque, and the two walked around the front of the stage left and right, and then walked up to the auction table with the plaque, standing on the left side of Wanggong.
The VIP room is actually on the second and third floors of the auction house, in front of the auction table, so you can clearly see everything on the auction table, of course, not all of the fifty VIP rooms are in front of the auction table, in front of the first and second VIP rooms, one is on the third floor, and the second is on the second floor, and the height of the auction table is slightly lower than the second floor, so the best viewing direction is still on the third floor.
The other VIP rooms are distributed on both sides of No. 1 and No. 2 respectively, and the No. 49 VIP room where Zhang Yuan is located has reached the edge, of course, because of the formation of the mustard seed space that is also used here, so the No. 49 where Zhang Yuan is located is not too far from the center.
In each VIP room, half of the wall facing the auction table will be removed, so that people in the VIP room can see everything on the auction table when they sit on the sofa prepared for them, of course, as a VIP, sometimes need to maintain a certain sense of mystery, so in the empty area, there is actually a formation, this formation can not only block the eyes of visitors from the outside world, but also can directly zoom in on any place on the auction table, so that VIPs can view the auction items more clearly。
Of course, as a VIP, it also has its own special rules for participating in the auction, that is, there will be a few red buttons at the bottom of each window, which are written with a hundred million five words, which is the number of each increase in the number of choices, and the increase in the VIP room is not in the unit of spirit coins, but in the unit of low-level spirit stones, so even if you press the word button at the front when the price increases, in fact, the real increase will be a low-level spirit stone.
At this moment, after the first lot was carried up to the auction table by the two female monks, Zhang Yuan decisively chose the amplification effect of the formation and magnified the plaque several times, but because the lot was still shrouded in a red silk scarf at this moment, and Zhang Yuan couldn't feel any aura fluctuations from it, so he couldn't guess what it was for a while, and it could be set as the first lot by Ji Yao.
"Everyone, this first lot is definitely a good thing, although at this moment only the cultivators of the Heavenly Immortal Realm can use him, but I still believe that in our Source Realm, cultivating to the Heavenly Immortal Realm will be the easiest thing, so it can be said that this thing has a very great effect on everyone, but the time of use is different sooner or later, perhaps, many people have heard of his name, but you have never seen his true face, because it has never left Qingyunmen, yes, it is a spiritual window that helps the Heavenly Immortal Realm to comprehend the realm, and even to comprehend the world!”
As soon as Wanggong's introduction was finished, an angry voice suddenly came from the No. 2 VIP room, "The Tianyuan Chamber of Commerce is really bold, it even dares to accept this kind of stolen goods, the soul window was stolen by an unknown thief a few months ago, isn't it that all of this is secretly manipulated by your Tianyuan Chamber of Commerce, right?"
"If you lose something, go to the person who stole it, don't slander here, what does this have to do with the Tianyuan Chamber of Commerce, do you have to ask if it was lost by the other party every time you collect something, besides, when is this Qingyunmen qualified to evaluate other people as thieves, don't you know what you have done?"
After such a voice appeared in VIP Room 1, some angry voices in VIP Room 2 stopped coming, obviously because they were more jealous of the people in VIP Room 1, so they directly gave up and continued to argue.
After the voices of the two fell, a smile reappeared on Wanggong's face, first smiling slightly in the direction of the VIP room, expressing his apology to the other VIPs for interrupting the auction just now, and then pulling off the silk scarf that had shrouded the soul window before, and then this soul window finally really appeared in front of everyone.
At this moment, whether it is in the hall or in the VIP room, any cultivator in the Heavenly Immortal Realm suddenly feels that a space closely connected to him is beckoning to him when he sees the couple after seeing the silk scarf, but at this moment he is still a little vague, making it difficult for him to grasp the true position of this space, but everyone believes that as long as he continues to observe this spiritual window, he will definitely be able to successfully perceive his own realm, so as to open up a space that belongs completely to himself.
Of course, this thing is not only useful for cultivators who have not opened the realm, but also for those cultivators who have opened the realm, it also has a very great effect, because it can enable these cultivators to continue to comprehend the realm deeply, and gradually make their realm a world, so as to successfully promote to a cultivator of the Golden Immortal Realm.
However, it is a pity that although this lot has succeeded in allowing many people to have their own realm, it has never directly sublimated anyone's realm into the world, so it is often those cultivators who have been promoted to the rank of heavenly immortals but have not succeeded in opening their own realm.
Originally, such a thing was not particularly important to Zhang Yuan, but after seeing this plaque for the first time, Zhang Yuan deeply felt that it seemed that this thing had a very big effect on himself, but he didn't know if he could take it down directly with his own financial resources.
"Xiaomei, you go and invite Mr. Ji Yao, just say that I have something to ask to see him. ”
After Zhang Yuan spoke, Kawabe Xiaomei opened the door and walked out without any hesitation, for other people may feel lost here, but for Kawabe Xiaomei, this place has lost like her own home, after all, she came an hour earlier than others, so you can also understand the structure of this place in advance, and it has become a simple matter to find Ji Yao.
After Kawabe Xiaomei left, Zhang Yuan even got to the position of the window, carefully observed every detail of the plaque, the plaque said that it was a plaque, but there were only two words on it, according to its distribution, it may have been a four-word plaque, but now only two words of heaven were left, and the place behind which the remaining two words were originally engraved was pasted on a piece of white paper, and a landscape painting was outlined on the white paper.
When he saw such a thing, Zhang Yuan had a very strange feeling, as if there was something in his body that was pampered, like a butterfly that had completed the transformation in the cicada chrysalis, and only needed to gently turn the last layer of cocoons into a butterfly.
However, it was such a cocoon that made Zhang Yuan very uncomfortable, so at this moment, Zhang Yuan especially wanted to take pictures of this thing, hoping to find out what kind of condition his body was.
Kawabe Xiaomei's efficiency is still very fast, when the auctioneer on the auction table is still introducing this thing, he has already returned to the VIP room with Ji Yao, of course, Ji Yao was suddenly called by Zhang Yuan at this moment, and he had already guessed Zhang Yuan's plan in his heart, but one thing was on the auction table, saying that anything else was useless, the only thing that could be used was the spirit stone, or the old saying, as long as you have enough spirit stones, you can get any lot, even if Ji Yao helps Zhang Yuan pay the bill, it is impossible to get this first lot, after all, there are more people who are richer than Ji Yao, and besides, the people of Qingyunmen will definitely try their best to take back the window of their hearts.
"Shopkeeper, I want to get it!"
Sure enough, as Ji Yao expected, Zhang Yuan directly said his request straight to the point, which also made Ji Yao a little helpless, although he is the person in charge of the Tianyuan Chamber of Commerce in Fenghuo Town, it does not mean that he can say nothing in Fenghuo Town, I am afraid that there are many people who think about their position, so they must tremble in everything they do, be careful about what they leave to themselves What consequences they can't deal with, and more importantly, this auction they held this time is completely to enhance their prestige, if they are involved in the competition of several forces because of such a lot, they will lose a little, so I really can't help myself.
"Zhang Yuan, to be honest with you, if you want to get his words, you need to prepare a large number of spirit stones, and there is no other way. Ji Yao said honestly.
"Of course, I understand what you mean, but now I don't have so many spirit stones on hand, so I ask you, can you recover medicinal materials here?"
"Of course this is okay, but I'm afraid you have to prepare a lot of medicinal materials, this first lot, I conservatively estimate, don't want to take it down without four or five thousand spirit stones, this is also equivalent to forty or fifty thousand spirit coins, if you want what kind of medicinal materials, you can directly ask me to price you, and you can directly use the medicinal materials to pay afterwards." Ji Yao explained.
Zhang Yuan knew that Ji Yao was able to help himself to this point, after all, if it was someone else, if you wanted to buy it, you could go directly to other places to exchange for spirit stones, in the auction house, it would never save you the process in the middle, of course, if you forcibly want to exchange spirit stones in the auction house, you only need to pay a high exchange fee, but this exchange fee is probably not willing for anyone, it is too high.
Now that he got the answer he wanted from Ji Yao, Zhang Yuan stopped talking nonsense, and directly took out a ambergris fruit and put it in Ji Yao's hands, hoping that Ji Yao could give this ambergris fruit a price.
Looking at the ambergris fruit in his hand, Ji Yao gave Zhang Yuan a look full of meaning, and secretly speculated in his heart that this Zhang Yuan was really neat and tidy at the beginning, and he didn't even find out that the ambergris fruit was really taken away by him when he investigated him, but although the ambergris fruit is a scarce medicinal material, and it is likely that it will not appear again in the future, but the medicinal effect of the ambergris fruit is not the only irreplaceable one, so the ambergris fruit in his hand, the maximum price that Ji Yao can give can only be two thousand spirit coins, which is equivalent to two hundred low-grade spirit stones。
"Zhang Yuan, maybe you take this ambergris too seriously, according to the price of our firm, I can only give you two hundred spirit stones at most, of course, this is also completely because of our relationship, so not only did I not charge you a high exchange fee, but even some handling fees I have waived for you with my own face, if you want to rely on ambergris to bid successfully, at least you have to prepare two hundred to three hundred ambergris nuts." ”
Listening to Ji Yao's words, Zhang Yuan frowned, he didn't expect this ambergris fruit to be so worthless in the Tianyuan Chamber of Commerce, if he had known that this was the case, I am afraid that he would have completely ignored the Elixir Pavilion at the beginning, would a super gate sect in the Source Realm care about the mere four hundred low-grade spirit stones? Zhang Yuan was a little unconvinced, maybe in the Elixir Pavilion and the Tianyuan Chamber of Commerce, the price of ambergris fruit was different, I don't know if he could get more spirit stones by directly looking for the Elixir Pavilion.
Ji Yao did not urge, but stood aside and waited for Zhang Yuan's reply, at this moment the auction in the hall has begun, this first lot is really a good thing, it has just begun, the price has begun to rise all the way, and this is still in the hall of retail investors bidding, none of the VIP room made a sound, are waiting for retail investors to give up before it really starts.
"Shopkeeper Ji, we are friends, can you help me ask the people in the Elixir Pavilion, maybe they need ambergris to refine what elixir, so they can offer more than others, how about it, can you help me with this?" Zhang Yuan said sincerely.
Ji Yao shook his head a little helplessly, although he knew that the price offered by the Tianyuan Chamber of Commerce was not low, but since Zhang Yuan asked for this, Ji Yao also agreed to help him ask for a good relationship between the two sides in the future, if the price of the Elixir Pavilion was indeed higher than that of the Tianyuan Chamber of Commerce, Ji Yao also decided to directly help Zhang Yuan sell the ambergris fruit to the Elixir Pavilion, after all, this could raise more capital for Zhang Yuan.
Nodding slightly, Ji Yao left the room where Zhang Yuan was, and after just a few steps, he came to the VIP room belonging to the Elixir Pavilion, knocked on the door gently, and after getting the consent of the people inside, he pushed the door and entered it.
didn't stay long, after Ji Yao came out of the elixir pavilion room, his face was surprised, obviously he encountered something that he couldn't understand, Ji Yao wanted to go back to Zhang Yuan's room directly and tell him the price given by the elixir pavilion, but after thinking about it, Ji Yao still decided to go back to his room first, after all, there are some things, and his own decision-making must not be wrong.
When Ji Yao returned to Zhang Yuan's room, the bidding price of the Soul Window had grown to the price of 10,000 spirit stones, although it was still bidding in the hall, but there were only two or three left.
"Zhang Yuan, our Tianyuan Chamber of Commerce has collected your ambergris fruit, how many you will collect, and we will buy each spirit stone at the price of one thousand spirit stones, so, Zhang Yuan, you must not sell it to others again. ”
Ji Yao suddenly changed the price so hugely, Zhang Yuan didn't ask the reason, if the guess was not wrong, Ji Yao must have gotten a dumbfounded price from the Elixir Pavilion, so Ji Yao must have asked for instructions, and what was in front of him was the final result.
"Siyu, tell the bottom that we will produce 20,000 spirit stones. ”
