Chapter Twenty-Eight: King Tai Sui
The man looked suddenly enlightened, and said: "I said why didn't I sense the spiritual power on your body, the auction will start tomorrow morning, you come with me first, and I will arrange a place for you to rest."
I have to say that the service of the auction house on Zor Island is really considerate, the huge palace is where the auction is held, and half of the other palaces are occupied by the people of the auction house, and the other half is a resting place for others.
This woman is the junior sister of the man next to her, she looks similar in age to Lin Fan, and she looks quite smart, looking at Lin Fan staring at herself, but she frowned, but she didn't say anything.
"It's quite easy to get in here, and it's not as dangerous as Li Guoqiang said."
Lin Fan followed behind the man and the woman, thinking as they made their way to the resting place.
The reason why Lin Fan didn't have a wooden card to get to Zor Island smoothly was mainly because Pingze and Pingshui happened to patrol here, plus Lin Fan's identity as a disciple of the Ethereal Sect, if you ask Zixing which sect is the first in strength, Ethereal is at most between the second and third, but if it is considered status, there is no doubt that the Ethereal Sect is the first.
The man's name is Xu Shixiong, and the woman's name is Zhang Lan'er, and the realm is almost the same, both of them are the Nine Heavens of the Transformation Gods.
The three of them walked to the fifth palace on the right side of the blue brick avenue, after Xu Shixiong pushed open the gate of the palace, he smiled at Lin Fan and said: "Friend, you live here, there are more people coming to this auction, there are few people living in this palace, there is only one person, you take care of it more, you will take a while."
The auction house has very strict rules, never asks the name of the person who consigns and auctions it, and protects the buyer and seller, and if you successfully auction something, the auction house will escort you away from the island, so the auction house auction house is far away on the island, but it is still very lively.
"Out of the way, out of the way"
Lin Fan looked like he was saying to Xu Shixiong, but in fact, his eyes were staring at Zhang Lan'er, which made Zhang Lan'er can't help but roll her eyes.
After Xu Shixiong and Zhang Lan'er left, Lin Fan looked at Zhang Lan'er's back and sighed: "It's a bit of a shadow of the morning tide."
This hall is divided into five rooms, maybe the auction house on Zor Island is also the force behind the people, so as to determine the difference in the place of residence, the disciples of the gate sect enjoy the treatment of a separate room in the palace compartment, if it is the sect masters of the gate sect, it is a palace by themselves, compared to the situation of seven or eight other people, Lin Fan's treatment is much better.
"Hey friend, you're also here for tomorrow's auction?"
Only the doors of the four compartments are open, which means that these four rooms are uninhabited, and as soon as Lin Fan walked into the second room, a voice came from behind him.
Looking in the direction of the sound source, Lin Fan saw a young man, who was one or two years younger than Lin Fan in appearance, and his height was about the same, but he was much thinner than Lin Fan, especially the handful of beards on each side of his mouth, which looked very obscene and looked like a good person.
"Yes, you are?"
Lin Fan recalled that he didn't seem to know this person.
"Meet me, my name is Si Jianren, and I am a disciple of the Yin-Yang Cave", the man's small eyes rolled slightly.
"Dead slut?"
Lin Fan almost spurted out a mouthful of blood when he heard this name, he had been slandering the name of Zhenhandsome for a long time, how could a dead slut appear now, could it be that the names of the current cultivators are so unusual?
"It's not a dead slut, it's a division, a division of judicial etiquette, a swordsman's sword, a benevolent person's benevolence, a division of sword benevolence," the man said anxiously.
"Oh, Brother Si, hello, hello, my name is Lin Fan, a disciple of the Ethereal Sect"
Lin Fan couldn't help but laugh, and also reported to his home with Si Jianren.
"Ethereal Gate? Are you a member of the Ethereal Gate? Wow, the gate is a faction."
Si Jianren looked at Lin Fan with admiration, his master's Yin Yang Cave was far inferior to the Ethereal Gate in terms of strength, reputation, prestige and numbers.
According to Si Jianren, there are only more than 80 people up and down the Yinyang Cave, and the existence of each sect has its own characteristics, like the Lihuo Sect is mainly based on cultivating fire, the Zhenglei Sect is mainly cultivating thunder, and the Wanjian Sect that has been destroyed is mainly based on sword cultivation.
The Ethereal Gate is different, it is inclusive of all rivers, the disciples of the door go as they wish, the small sect of the Yin Yang Cave, but the main is the strong hardness of the body, on the purple star flying in the sky with this magic weapon, the patriarch of the Yin Yang Cave is close to a pair of iron fists to open the mountain and establish a faction, but it can also be regarded as a character.
"Are you here to sell or to take pictures, let me tell you, I've been here for a few days, and I know a little inside information", Si Jianren whispered in Lin Fan's ear.
Looking at Si Jianren's thief's eyebrows, Lin Fan is asking him now, even Haozi only said that there is something on this island that can make him regenerate with a broken arm, but what is it, where is it on Zor Island, Lian Haozi walked in a hurry and did not explain clearly.
"It's my first time here, and I heard that there is an item here that can make me grow my arm again, I don't know if you know?", it was about whether Lin Fan's left hand could be regenerated, and he was also serious at this time.
Si Jianren looked at Lin Fan's empty left sleeve, nodded thoughtfully, and said, "You are here for the first time, it's still early, let's go, go and sit in my room, I'll talk to you."
The two entered the first compartment of the main hall, and after Lin Fan sat down on a chair next to a wooden round table, Si Jianren poured Lin Fan a cup of tea, took out a blue covered book, and put it on the wooden round table.
"What is this?" Lin Fan asked, picking up the blue cover book in his right hand.
"This is the list of items to be auctioned by the Zor Island Auction House tomorrow, I tell you, you are in time, although Zor Island holds an auction once a month, but tomorrow's auction will have many treasures in the world, you see the last ones on this list, all of them are written with the word "temporary", only tomorrow when you enter the auction hall, you will know what it is, you can take a look at the other marked, maybe what you are looking for is here", Si Jianren explained.
After hearing this, Lin Fan didn't say much, opened the first page of the blue cover book, and looked at the auction list carefully, this Zor Island Auction House has to say that it has an excellent reputation and thoughtful service, except for the last few mysterious items that refuse to be written, the names and functions of other items to be auctioned are written clearly, Lin Fan roughly calculated, and the items to be auctioned tomorrow are more than three hundred kinds.
Carefully flipping through the blue cover book, Lin Fan really found the material he urgently needed on the auction list, this material ranked fifty-ninth in tomorrow's auction list, it was Tai Sui, who had ten jiazi of meat Ling----zhi.
If it is an ordinary Tai Sui, it will not be able to make Lin Fan regrow his left hand, but this Tai Sui, who has existed for six hundred years, is different, judging from the introduction marked on this blue cover book, Tai Sui itself is rare, and this Tai Sui who will be auctioned tomorrow can be called the King of Tai Sui, as long as the heart of the cultivator is not destroyed, then no matter how seriously injured you are, the King of Tai Sui can recover.
There is an example in the introduction of the mark, that is, this Tai Sui Wang is a certain cultivator whose brain is hot, and he found a place to dig directly, wanting to see if he can dig out the spirit stone, who knows that when digging nearly 200 meters deep, he found an underground karst cave, this Tai Sui Wang was found in the cave, this cultivator was broken by the enemy in the early years, and after cutting off a small piece of Tai Sui Wang that day, the broken leg woke up the next day but has been fully recovered, so the marked introduction also specially wrote that it has the effect of white bones and raw meat.
And the auction is to participate in the number of catties of spirit stones, and there are many people who are keen on this Tai Sui King, after all, each sect has more or less enemies, wouldn't having this Tai Sui King have one more life-saving measure, and the most important thing is that this Tai Sui King is extremely active, after cutting off a small piece of Tai Sui meat, it won't take long for it to grow on its own, the white spirit stone in Lin Fan's bronze ring is only about 1,000 catties, and the blue spirit stone is less than 10 catties, this is still even Haozi's coffin.
Si Jianren looked at Lin Fan with a sad look, as if he was worried about something, and after pondering for a while, Si Jianren said, "Brother Lin, are you worried about the problem of spirit stones?"
Lin Fan nodded and sighed, "What I need should be this Tai Sui King, but I'm afraid the spirit stone is not enough."
Si Jianren walked to Lin Fan's side, looked at the page that Lin Fan had opened, and said with a smile: "You don't need to worry, I have a way to let you get this Tai Sui King at the lowest price."
"What's the way?", Lin Fan's eyes lit up.
"Come with your ears"
Si Jianren looked cheap, and after Lin Fan's head was closer to him, he whispered his own method in Lin Fan's left ear.
After a while, Lin Fan said with extreme embarrassment: "This is not good......
"What can be bad, proper", Si Jianren looked confident.
"This ...... Okay...... Get out of the way, fight once"
For the sake of his left hand, Lin Fan also planned to show his face.
Si Jianren closed the wooden door and conspired with Lin Fan, and finally Si Jianren brought a large jar of wine and a plate of side dishes, seeing this jar of wine, Lin Fan's eyes instantly enlarged, and he couldn't help licking his lips and swallowing a mouthful of saliva.
As the so-called wine has passed three rounds of food and five flavors, the two of them hooked their shoulders and backs, and when the wine jar bottomed out, the two of them also fell asleep on the wooden table.
"Knock~~Knock~~"
Thinking of the two melodious bells, Lin Fan jumped up from the wooden chair in an instant, and said anxiously while opening the wooden door: "Assembled, assembled", he remembered that the two bells rang, which was a signal that the disciples needed to gather in the square and wait.
After pushing open the wooden door, Lin Fan scratched his head with his right hand, it seems that he drank too much last night and forgot that he was on Zor Island, Lin Fan walked behind Si Jianren and pushed him a few times, trying to wake Si Jianren up, after all, there was an auction going to be held today.
"What's going on?"
Si Jianren, who was woken up, rubbed his eyes and asked with a yawn.
"What's the matter?~~Bright~~~~", Lin Fan roared loudly in Si Jianren's left ear.
"I know, I know, what are you doing so loudly," Si Jianren complained while covering his left ear.
The two bells were just to remind the people on Zor Island that the auction was about to start, and after a brief wash, the two went straight to the main hall of the auction, which was the huge palace that Lin Fan saw.
This palace is also called the auction hall, there is a high platform or two meters high in the east of the palace, the other three sides are divided into two layers, there are dozens of single rooms on the upper floor of the north, which are equipped with tables, chairs and tea, as well as some snacks, there is a light blue stone wall about two zhang long and nearly one zhang wide on the wall, this stone wall can be displayed synchronously on the stone wall of the auction situation of the main hall through the special formation of the main hall, these single rooms are naturally prepared for people who respect their status.
There are nearly 500 Taishi chairs in the south, each Taishi chair is equipped with a square wooden table in front of it, and each wooden table is placed with a teapot and two plates of dim sum.
As for the lower level, there were nearly two thousand Taishi chairs, which was where ordinary cultivators sit, and when Lin Fan and Si Jianren rushed to the gate of the auction hall, they were stopped by several men dressed the same as Xu Shixiong and Zhang Lan'er.
"Both, are there any posts?" asked a man with sword eyebrows.
There are also four kinds of posts in the auction house of Zor Island, holding black books can go to the upper single room on the north side, gold books can go to the upper single room on the west side, silver books can go to the upper floor of the south side, and copper books are on the lower hall, find a place to sit by yourself, if there is no post, you can also enter the auction hall, but you have to wait for the person holding the post to sit down, if there is a vacant seat in the lower hall, Lin Fan and Si Jianren can enter.
Lin Fan shook his head and said, "We don't have a post."
Lin Fan, as a disciple of the Ethereal Sect, one of the three major sects of Purple Star, did not have a post, not to mention a small sect like the Yinyang Cave, so Si Jianren naturally did not have a post.
"If there is no post, please wait next to the side first, and wait for the other posters to enter, if there is still a vacant seat for the two of you to enter"
Knowing that there was no post from the two people in front of him, the man's attitude became a little colder.
This man's attitude changed so quickly, it was a must, Lin Fan couldn't help but slander for a while, the person who cultivates the truth is really very realistic, Lin Fan gave this man a nickname, called the ruthless man.
Fortunately, the two of them did not stand next to each other for a long time, and when they did not arrive at the gate of the auction hall, most of them had already entered, and when the last white-haired old man with a black post was invited in by the ruthless man, another disciple of the auction house also walked out of the auction hall.
"Come in, all of you"
This disciple shouted at Lin Fan, Si Jianren and dozens of male and female cultivators, these dozens of male and female cultivators were naturally unscrupulous people, and like Lin Fan, they all stood obediently by the side and waited.
"Oh, I'll go, it's very lively~", just after entering the auction hall, Si Jianren looked at the noisy auction hall and sighed.
Seeing Si Jianren's fuss, Lin Fan sighed in his heart and asked, "Shouldn't you be here for the first time?"
Si Jianren smiled embarrassedly: "It's indeed the first time I've come, and I've been here for a few days longer than you."
The interior of this auction hall is extremely magnificent, Lin Fan and the others naturally sat on the Taishi chair in the last row of the lower hall, and the disciples of the auction house also asked Lin Fan and others if they wanted to wear masks, this mask was naturally to protect the lives of the cultivators participating in the auction, but after looking at the hall, few people wore masks, and those who entered the auction hall with Lin Fan asked for masks.
As soon as Lin Fan and Si Jianren sat down, the sound of squeaking came, it was the sound of the three gates being pushed by several auction house disciples, three bangs, when the door was closed, an old man and a burly middle-aged man appeared on the east platform, only to see such a middle-aged man gasp, and then shouted: "Please be quiet, the auction is about to start."
The originally noisy hall suddenly fell silent, "It's finally the theme", this is the idea of the vast majority of people.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I am the auctioneer of the Zoel Island Auction House, and now I announce that the auction ceremony is now open"
The old man on the high platform said with a smile, and as soon as the old man's words fell, a disciple of the auction house held a square wooden box in both hands and placed it on a long square wooden table in the middle of the high platform.
The old man opened the wooden box, took out a fist-sized blue bead and put it on the palm of his left hand, and after showing it to the cultivators in three directions, he said: "This is a water bead, you don't need to breathe in the water for three days if you hold it, and after three days, when you put it in the sun, you can enter the water again, and the starting price is five hundred catties of white spirit stones."
"Old man, are you crazy? What can this thing do to us cultivators? It even costs five hundred catties of white spirit stones."
A cultivator in the first row of the south shouted.
"This brother's words are wrong, I think your realm should be the Three Crossing Period, for the cultivators of the Three Crossing Period and above, this bead is naturally useless, after all, the people in the realm of the Three Crossing Period have been able to hold their breath for a long time, but for the cultivators of the Gathering Spirit Period and the Transformation Period, the effect is self-evident, especially the sect that majors in water", the voice was a woman in her forties, and it seemed that the realm should be slightly higher than the cultivator who just spoke.
An old man in the first row of the north nodded thoughtfully after hearing this, he is an elder of a medium sect, the sect he belongs to is on the seaside, and the main practice is naturally the art of water control, this bead is naturally very effective for the disciples of his sect's spirit gathering period and the god transformation period, thinking about this, the old man gritted his teeth, raised his right hand and shouted: "I will give out six hundred catties of white spirit stones."
"I'll go, old man Jiang, are you crazy? Six hundred catties of white spirit stones, I'm afraid it's one-third of your sect's reserves, right?" said another old man next to Old Man Jiang in surprise.
"You know a ball, it's naturally useless to us, but it's naturally useful to his sect," the forty-year-old woman laughed.
"There is a distinguished guest in the north room of the upper floor who has a thousand catties of white spirit stones," shouted an auction house disciple standing on the wooden fence on the upper floor of the north floor.
Hearing this, Lin Fan was shocked, his senior brother Zhou Zhongchen seemed to have said that the Ethereal Sect only weighed a thousand catties of white spirit stones, how could someone directly produce a thousand catties of white spirit stones? That was because the Ethereal Sect was not like other sects, where there were disciples who specialized in collecting spirit stones, so the Ethereal Sect's spirit stone reserves were not even comparable to the middle sects.
"One thousand catties of white spirit stones, is there anything you want to continue to bid?", the auctioneer on the high platform shouted as he looked at the cultivators who were sitting on the Taishi chair in three directions.
"A thousand catties of white spirit stones? crazy crazy, is this worth it?"
"Be quiet, the corners in the north room on the upper floor are all big shots, you can't afford to mess with them"
"This is just the beginning, it's actually a thousand catties of white spirit stones?"
“......”
There was a lot of discussion in the hall.
Old man Jiang only had 1,300 catties of white spirit stones, and for the sake of the future of the sect's disciples, he continued to increase the price and shouted: "1,200 catties of white spirit stones."
"1,300 catties of white spirit stones"
A low price increase sounded, and this time it was not the auction house disciple on Mulan on the north side of the upper floor, but the first room on the north side of the upper floor.
"I also gave out 1,300 catties of white spirit stones, plus ten catties of blue spirit stones", Old Man Jiang was out of the way, this was already his limit.
In order to distinguish the prices of the four spirit stones, Zixing has long distinguished the prices of the four spirit stones, ten catties of blue spirit stones, equal to one hundred catties of white spirit stones, red spirit stones are a thousand times the price of purple spirit stones, purple spirit stones are a hundred times the price of blue spirit stones, and blue spirit stones are ten times the price of white spirit stones.
"Fifteen hundred catties of white spirit stones", the deep male voice continued to increase the price without a trace of emotion.
This time it was indeed beyond Old Man Jiang's limit, and the angry Old Man Jiang stood up, staring at the upper north room with resentful eyes.
"Old man, I think you're tired of it, aren't you?", the room said again.
"Sit down, sit down, old man Jiang, are you crazy, you can't afford to mess with the people in that room", a middle-aged man next to Old Man Jiang pulled Old Man Jiang's sleeve and whispered.
After being persuaded by this middle-aged man, Old Man Jiang also regained his senses, and sat down in fear, the people in those rooms, he really couldn't afford to provoke, if this was not the Zoel Island Auction House, I am afraid that Old Man Jiang would be killed.
"Ahem, fifteen hundred catties of white spirit stones for the first time," the auctioneer shouted after coughing twice.
"1,500 catties of white spirit stones for the second time, 1,500 catties of white spirit stones for the third time", after the auctioneer shouted, the burly man next to him raised a small wooden mallet on another wooden table and knocked it.
"Well, 1,500 pounds to buy a bead and go back to play with my grandson"
It's really infuriating, and the male voice in the room north of the upper floor sounded again, making the old man Jiang tremble all over.
After this water bead was delivered to the room on the north side of the upper floor by an auction house disciple, another auction house disciple held a small wooden box in both hands and placed it on the long wooden table.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this is a thunder bead, which can gather thunder in the sky, can release a purple thunder that is thousands of zhang long and ten zhang thick, and can also control the size of the purple thunder at will, there are ten in a hundred zhang, and so on, and the reserve price is a thousand catties of white spirit stones", the auctioneer took out the purple beads in the wooden box and shouted to everyone.
"My Zhenglei Sect also gave out 1,500 catties of white spirit stones, I hope you all have face", a calm voice also came from the other room on the north side of the upper floor.
"The Zhenglei Sect is also here?"
Lin Fan muttered, carrying out his own sect, no one really dared to rob with the Zhenglei faction, and this thunder bead was photographed by the disciples of the Zhenglei faction with 1,500 catties of white spirit stones.
