Chapter 50: Master Cloud Star
The old man had served in this treasure appraisal room for many years, and the treasures identified by his hands were not one thousand, but also eight hundred, according to what kind of rare treasures he had never seen, it was already not strange, and now he was shocked to the point of losing his temper on the spot, which was enough to prove that the scroll in Ye Shuo's hand was indeed extraordinary! In any case, this trip to treasure appraisal, it was certain that it would never be empty-handed. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"You...... Where did you get this thing from!" The old man held the scroll tremblingly with both hands, and his finger bones were faintly blue and white due to excessive force. The next moment, he stared at Ye Shuo and asked Ye Shuo urgently.
"This ......" Ye Shuo was a little unsure in his heart when he asked, although the process of discovering the scroll itself was nothing unspeakable, but would this old man feel that with his strength, he would not be able to obtain such a valuable treasure, and suspect that he had obtained it in some improper way? Or was the scroll itself circulated from the auction house, stolen by someone with a heart, and lost in that cave by chance, and was found by him? Otherwise, could it be that the other party saw the wealth and planned to swallow the treasure alone, and then kill people? For a while, a series of danger warnings appeared in Ye Shuo's mind, which in the past, he was used to acting only according to his preferences and would never consider it, and perhaps he really responded to the words "care is chaos".
was in Ye Shuo's mind, and when the old man saw that he hadn't answered for a long time, he smiled first, and said gently: "It's that the old man asked abruptly." I just don't know if there is any left in the hands of the little brother of this same kind of thing?" while slowly caressing the white beard, he sat down opposite him again.
Many of the auction items that came to the auction house were obtained through improper means, otherwise most of them had other unspeakable secrets. It's not the first day that the auction house has opened for business, and in the spirit of money first, as long as the items sold can be sold at a high price at the venue, the staff usually do not ask customers about the source of the treasures. The old man would blurt out in the midst of the shock, which could only be attributed to his abnormality.
Ye Shuo thought about it for a while, this can be said, and he replied honestly: "No." This one was obtained by accident in a dangerous place, and even if there is a part of the latter, it may be scattered in all corners of the Spirit Continent. ”
The old man bowed slightly, then shook his head and sighed: "Alas, alas, alas, alas! This is a fragment of the mental method handed down from ancient times, which also records the origin of ten special professions on the continent today.
Although cultivators are constantly developing, and their cultivation methods are also evolving, some of the magical cultivation methods have long been lost as the years go by. I never thought that there would be ancient books that could be reproduced in the world today! This is enough for a cultivator in any field to be used as a treasure for the Zhen Sect, and it is also something that those big sectarian forces have broken their heads and have to fight for! If they can collect a complete set, it will definitely be priceless......
"That'...... If it's a fragment, isn't it worthless?" Ye Shuo listened to the old man's sigh of pity, and he was so nervous that cold sweat fell, and he asked with bated breath. He didn't care how precious this treasure would be after it was collected, all he cared about was whether he could pass the current hurdle safely, and whether he could raise enough funds to auction off the Jiuqu Xuanyin Pill before the auction!
Chu Tianyao frowned secretly as he listened. Anyone with a little bit of brains should know that since it is a collection of valuable things, even if it is broken up to only one of the parts, it will never be worthless. If you meet a black-hearted businessman, after listening to Ye Shuo's layman's words, I am afraid that I will already take the opportunity to offer an ultra-low price, and then make a big profit.
The old man came back to his senses, pressed his hands down, and smiled, "Don't worry. I said it's a pity, it's just a pity that my auction house didn't get the blessing of auctioning off a complete set of treasures at once. I remember that the last auction of that set of top-grade magic weapons was many years ago. When I think back to that time, everyone rushed to bid, and the price soared almost like a cannonball. Several of the most competitive buyers were even more incomprehensible, and even the chairman had to come forward in person several times to maintain order. That hot atmosphere really makes the blood in people's bodies boil!" The old man gushed a long list, and when he saw that Ye Shuo was still staring at himself without blinking, he also knew that it was far away, so he waved his hand and quietly brought the topic back: "But even if it is a fragment of an ancient book, there are not a few buyers who want to come and be tempted, and it will definitely be able to sell it for a good price." Hmm, I'll see...... The reserve price of the auction may be set at around one million spirit stones, and after bidding, with some proper operation, I think it should be able to sell around one million and two million spirit stones. ”
Ye Shuo blinked and didn't speak, as if he was hesitating.
"What, are you too low?" the old man's face sank, "Little brother, this price is not low! You see, first of all, this mental method is just a fragment...... "As a professional treasure connoisseur, his income will also increase with the price of the treasures he receives. Of course, he can't guarantee the specific amount of this transaction price, and what he is most worried about at the moment is that Ye Shuo will change his mind and not auction here because he doubts that the price is too low, then he will lose a windfall.
Therefore, he almost did his best to give full play to his professional knowledge, foaming at the mouth and explaining to Ye Shuo how worthwhile the price was.
"Hmm...... Actually, I don't know if the price is high or low. After he said that his mouth was dry, Ye Shuo still seemed to understand whether he understood or not, lowered his head and said sullenly. "I only know that if you buy small greens in the vegetable market, you can buy all the small greens, no, you should buy the whole vegetable market. But at the auction, I don't know if it's enough. What is the price of other items in the auction from previous years?"
"You said it earlier!" the old man patted his thigh, but as long as he didn't dislike the low price, it would be easy to do. With a wide heart, he explained more diligently: "The transaction price in previous years ...... Of course, this also depends on the specific preciousness of the treasure, plus the ability of the auctioneer. Sometimes there will be some malicious bidding in the audience, and those who really need it can't and have the money, so they have to pay almost double the price. For this practice...... We're happy to see that happen. However, except for a few of the highest and lowest prices, the general transaction price is about to be at least between 50,000 spirit stones and 300,000 spirit stones. But if there is a first-class treasure, such as the last auction of the top-level magic weapon, the price is ......"
"What about a treasure like the Jiuqu Xuanyin Pill?" Seeing that the old man was about to bring out the brilliance of the top-level magic weapon again, boasting endlessly, Ye Shuo hurriedly interrupted him, and after thinking about it, he finally cautiously reported the goal of this trip.
"Jiuqu Xuanyin Pill...... the old man's fingers tapped lightly on the tabletop, "This thing is refined from nine kinds of exotic flowers and plants. It's not such a rare thing, and it's not difficult to refine. If you want to say that it is valuable, it is only expensive because the resources of the nine kinds of exotic flowers and plants are scarce, and they generally only appear in extremely dangerous places, and it is extremely difficult to find them when you are idle, and it is not easy to get together nine kinds. It just so happened that one appeared at the auction this time. The transaction price can be auctioned for about 150,000 spirit stones, which is very good. ”
"One hundred and fifty thousand spirit stones...... Ye Shuo bent his five fingers and calculated, and carefully compared it with the previous number: "Hmm...... So so-so can also afford it. Okay, let's make a deal!"
The old man was instantly overjoyed, and after carefully putting away the scroll, he took out a storage ring and put it on the table and pushed it over: "This is a deposit, a total of 20,000 spirit stones, all in it."
"Deposit?" Ye Shuo heard that the amount was suddenly so low, and he hurriedly came: "Why is it a deposit? Don't set it, it's already set! I'm definitely going to auction it here, you better give me the full amount directly." ”
Chu Tianyao was already so depressed that he wanted to crash to death.
"Little brother, it seems that you still don't know the rules of this auction house?" the old man couldn't help laughing.
"Well, I don't know, what's the point?" Ye Shuo nodded seriously.
"After the customer hands over the auction item to us, if it is confirmed that the auction value has been reached, we will first pay a certain amount of deposit to the customer, which means that we have bought the thing, so as not to let some customers suddenly regret it before the auction. After the transaction is established, the treasure will be deposited with us for temporary storage until the auction. After the official auction, the amount of the auction proceeds, except for some handling fees that will be charged by the store, the rest of the amount belongs to the seller himself. Therefore, the settlement of the payment is also after the end of the auction. The old man explained with a smile. has just done a big business, naturally refreshed, even if Ye Shuo asks a few more stupid questions, he can answer them with absolute patience and meticulous attitude.
"In this way, if I find other treasures at the auction, after the auction is over, can I use the money from the auction of this treasure to pay for the price of another treasure?" Ye Shuo is also most concerned about this problem, after all, he is still penniless now, except for that insignificant deposit.
"No problem, anyway, the payment and payment are held after the auction, and you can go through both procedures at the same time. Of course, the premise is that the amount you get from the auction is enough to pay for another treasure. The old man was still smiling kindly.
"This, that should be enough. Hehe, you've just said enough. Ye Shuo scratched his scalp with a dry smile, "Okay, then let's make a deal!"
"Well, this deposit is a total of 20,000 spirit stones, you can count it carefully. The old man did not forget to advise.
"Okay. Ye Shuo waved his hand, and there was a loud noise, and a large number of spirit stones were piled up on the table in a blink of an eye.
"What are you doing here?" the old man was visibly surprised.
"Didn't you ask me to take a closer count?" Ye Shuo spread his hands innocently, "If you don't pour out all the spirit stones, how can you count them?"
Chu Tianyao couldn't stand it anymore, resisted the urge to vomit blood, and arched his hand to the old man: "I'm really sorry, my junior brother is going down the mountain for the first time, and he knows too little about common sense, so I'm causing you trouble." ”
"It's okay, it's okay. The old man waved his hand, turned around and explained to Ye Shuo: "This storage ring is very convenient, you only need to drip blood first to recognize the master, and then your divine sense will be integrated into it, and you can know the exact number with a little probing, but there is no need to be so troublesome." ”
Ye Shuo could only smile dryly and comply.
"The value of the items you auctioned has reached the VIP level of the auction house, this is your seat number, three days later, the auction will officially begin, don't be late!" The old man took out a card made of green jade from the counter and handed it to Ye Shuo.
The two of them then turned around and went out to leave.
"Ye Shuo?" a figure who was about to step into the door immediately disappeared into the corner. When the two of them had already walked away, they pointed to the back of one of them and whispered to the other person beside him: "Father, that is Ye Shuo." At this time, his face gradually appeared from the shadows, it was Ruan Shi, a disciple of the Shattered Star Sect and who had always held a grudge against Ye Shuo!
