Chapter 26 The Auction
The selection in the city ended, Elder Fang also left, and the hustle and bustle of Jinling City for many days also came to an end.
The nine candidates selected are also stepping up their cultivation to prepare for the upcoming selection of the Nine Cities.
In the east courtyard of the Li family, Li Qinghe was holding a pure Jun sword and practicing swordsmanship seriously. After the selection in the city, Li Qinghe did not relax the pace of cultivation because of winning the championship, in addition to practicing swordsmanship and carving formations every day, he would occasionally consolidate the barbaric immortal body, trying to reach a higher level.
"Now that the swordsmanship and formation feel like they have reached a bottleneck, and even the Savage Immortal Body has stagnated, it's time to prepare for the retreat to impact the internal strength. Li Qinghe put away the Chunjun sword and muttered.
"Let's go on retreat tomorrow!" Before the retreat, Li Qinghe was still going to do something.
"The aura gathering liquid that my father gave me before has not been used. Li Qinghe took out the two bottles of Qi Gathering Spiritual Liquid from the wooden box in the room.
"This is a good thing!" Li Qinghe smacked his lips, because he had already broken through the internal strength martial artist, he didn't use it. Li Qinghe now decided to take the two bottles of Qi Gathering Spiritual Liquid to the auction house and sell them.
"But you can't go to the auction hall in Wanbaolou, these two bottles of spiritual liquid were auctioned from there, and they will definitely be discovered, but you can go to those small auction houses in the city. ”
There are also many small auction houses in Jinling City, but these small auction houses are not worth mentioning compared to the Wanbaolou and Jinyu Chamber of Commerce in Jinling City, but fortunately, there are not too many people paying attention to these small auction houses, which is suitable for Li Qinghe.
After Li Qinghe decided, he no longer hesitated, packed up his things, and went out of the house.
...
Li Qinghe went around the city, and finally fell in love with an auction house called Eagle.
If you pay a little entrance fee, most auction houses will ask for an income fee, and this eagle is no exception.
Entering the auction hall, there is still a lot of traffic here, but it is also a characteristic of this place.
I went to the registration desk at the front desk to register, and then I was guided by the maid into a room.
Today, Li Qinghe specially dressed up as a strange uncle again, so he didn't have to worry about being discovered.
In the middle of the room, there was only a wooden table, and on the wooden table was a wooden sign that read: Treasure Connoisseur.
Behind the wooden table, a middle-aged man in a black robe sits, with two mustaches at the corners of his mouth, but his eyes were bright.
"Sir, what are you going to auction?" said the middle-aged man.
Li Qinghe took out two bottles of Qi Gathering Spiritual Liquid from the wooden box, and the middle-aged man's eyes were suddenly attracted to it.
"I'm going to auction off these two bottles of Gathering Spirit. Placing the two sheep fat jade bottles on the wooden table, Li Qinghe said in a hoarse voice.
The middle-aged man's eyes lit up, he picked up the two bottles of spiritual liquid on the table and weighed them, then uncorked them again, sniffed them with his nose, and nodded.
"It's really a Qi Gathering Spiritual Liquid, and the quality is not low. The middle-aged man said.
His gaze turned to Li Qinghe with some heat, and the middle-aged man said, "Sir, are you an alchemist?"
"I'm not. Li Qinghe said calmly.
Alchemists, like Imperial Array Masters, are both highly rare professions on the Xuanwu Continent. The conditions of an alchemist are harsh, because every alchemist must have a partner of the Imperial Array Master, and when the alchemist is alchemizing, he needs the Imperial Array Master to use a specific formation to assist him, which means that a successful alchemist must have a powerful Imperial Array Master standing behind him.
Seeing Li Qinghe's denial, the middle-aged man's eyes were a little lost, but he quickly regained his vigor.
"Okay, sir, I'll help you register, and we will take 20% of the income from the auction as the most handling fee. The middle-aged man beckoned to the maid next to him, gave her two bottles of spiritual liquid, and ordered to go down.
The middle-aged man took out another badge from the drawer, and said to Li Qinghe with a smile: "This is the VIP badge of our Eagle Auction House, since the value of the things you auctioned is more than 200,000, sir, you can go to the VIP seat." ”
"By the way, my name is Gu Hai, and I am the resident treasure connoisseur of the Eagle Auction House. Gu Hai stretched out his hand and said to Li Qinghe.
Li Qinghe also stretched out his hand and shook hands with Gu Hai. However, Gu Hai noticed Li Qinghe's palm.
"How could his hands be like a teenager's..."Gu Hai wondered in his heart.
Li Qinghe's hand shrank unconsciously.
Gu Hai didn't think too much about it, beckoned a maid to come over, and took Li Qinghe to the auction venue.
...
Li Qinghe followed the maid and entered a huge auction hall.
"Sir, this is your seat. The maid guided Li Qinghe to the front rows of VIP seats in the auction hall and sat down.
"Your badge, please keep it. The maid handed Li Qinghe's VIP badge to Li Qinghe.
Li Qinghe nodded, took the badge, and motioned for the maid to go down.
Looking up at the auction hall, although the Eagle Auction House is not as famous as Wanbaolou and the Jinyu Chamber of Commerce, it can be regarded as a large-scale auction house. In the center of the auction hall is a circular stone platform, which is where the auction items are held.
As more and more people came to the venue, the empty venue finally became lively.
Li Qinghe closed his eyes and waited for the auction to begin.
When the venue was almost full, the auction finally began.
Li Qinghe opened his eyes and looked at the stone platform in the center of the venue, and a white-haired old man walked out behind him. is also followed by four guards with great internal strength. Usually this kind of auction will have a guard next to you, which is also to prevent someone from forcibly grabbing the treasure, although this rarely happens, but it does not mean that it will not happen.
The white-haired old man smiled, and after scanning the venue, he said in a loud voice: "Welcome to the Eagle Auction Hall! I am the chief auctioneer of the venue, and I will preside over the auction today!"
The venue suddenly became noisy, and someone shouted: "Stop talking nonsense, let's get started!"
The white-haired old man smiled and said, "Today's first lot for us is the three-grade martial arts wind and thunder fist!" The white-haired old man clapped his hands, and a maid held a wooden box containing a book of martial arts.
"Three-grade martial arts, wind and thunder fists!Cultivate to the fullest, fists are like wind and thunder, quickly knock down the enemy!"
"The starting price is 90,000 gold coins, and each increase must not be less than 2,000 gold coins!"
As soon as the white-haired old man's voice fell, someone began to shout.
"Ninety-two thousand!"
"Ninety-eight thousand!"
"One hundred thousand!"
...
Li Qinghe didn't have any interest in this kind of martial arts, so he just quietly watched them bid.
In the end, this three-grade martial arts wind and thunder fist was bought by a big man at a price of 110,000.
The old man seemed to be satisfied, and his face was full of smiles, after all, the price of the auction item was directly related to his income.
"Now let's open the bidding for the second lot..."
The items after that were nothing more than some internal strength, magic weapons and other items, but Li Qinghe also noticed that no one had bid for the VIP seat he was in until now.
"It doesn't seem like it's really the main event yet. Li Qinghe said secretly.
"Let's start bidding for the eighth lot!" The white-haired old man clapped his hands, and a maid walked up to the stone platform with a plate, on which were the two bottles of Qi Gathering Liquid that Li Qinghe had auctioned.
"Finally it's my Ichor's turn. Li Qinghe also breathed a sigh of relief.
"This lot is called Qi Gathering Spirit Liquid, which is of great help to the promotion of martial artists! It can be said that with this Spirit Liquid, you can create an internal strength martial artist!"
Hearing the introduction of the white-haired old man, some of the family forces in the city began to move.
Li Qinghe also noticed that several old men in the VIP seat finally raised their heads and were eager to try.
"The starting price of this lot is 100,000 gold coins! Two bottles of 200,000 gold coins! Each increase must not be less than 2,000 gold coins!"
As the white-haired old man's voice fell, someone immediately shouted and clapped.
"Two hundred and twenty-two thousand!"
"Two hundred and one thousand!"
"Two hundred and forty-four thousand!"
...
Looking at this extremely ferocious way of raising the price, Li Qinghe was also happy in his heart, the higher the price shouted, the more beneficial it would be to him.
With the skyrocketing price, the auction price also soared to a high price of 280,000 yuan. After that, the number of people shouting gradually decreased, and only a few people were still holding on.
"Three hundred thousand!" an old man shouted out the price through gritted teeth.
"Okay, this old gentleman shouted out a high price of 300,000! Is there anything higher than this?"
When this price was shouted, there was no sound in the field. Although this Qi Gathering Spiritual Liquid is precious, 300,000 is actually considered the limit.
"Three hundred thousand for the first time!"
"Three hundred thousand for the second time!"
"Three hundred thousand for the third time!"
"Okay, these two bottles of Qi Gathering Liquid were taken by this old gentleman!" shouted the white-haired old man.
The old man who shouted out the high price sat down with some excitement, Li Qinghe looked at the old man, he knew this old man, this old man was the patriarch of a medium force in the city.
Li Qinghe's face showed a look of satisfaction, this price can be said to have exceeded his expectations.
The auction continued, and the ninth lot, an internal work, was finally sold for 80,000 yuan.
"Here is the tenth lot!" the white-haired old man smiled mysteriously.
Beckoning behind him, the maid brought a jade plate, and on top of the jade plate was a sheep fat jade bottle.
"Inside this jade plate is a pill, named Dacheng Dan! I guess everyone is familiar with this name!" said the white-haired old man with a smile.
In the VIP seats, they were basically ready to move.
Li Qinghe looked at the jade bottle on the jade plate, felt the commotion in the VIP seat, and became interested.
Dacheng Dan, as the name suggests, can improve the success rate of internal strength and small martial artists when they break through Dacheng, although it is only a few percent, but this is also a big help.
Li Qinghe smacked his lips, he wanted to try to see if he could bid for it.
"The starting price of Dacheng Dan is 100,000! Each increase is not less than 2,000! Friends, start bidding!"
