Chapter 141: Fierce Bidding
After Gu Yan arrived at the VIP room, after all, it was the first time for Gu Yan to participate in such a grand auction, looking at the furnishings in the VIP room, Gu Yan was shocked by the cabin in front of him.
The first thing that came to my face was a very refreshing and calming fragrance, and in front of the chair, there were many kinds of delicious spiritual fruits. This treatment suddenly made Gu Yan feel flattered, but he calmed down a little, and then sat down on the chair.
"Childe, this is an auction girl specially prepared for our VIP room, and she will meet your request unconditionally. You can also rest assured that every auctioneer girl in our Purple Star Business Alliance is perfect and will definitely not bring you any discomfort. Which woman said lightly to Gu Yan.
Gu Yan naturally understood this woman's words, this phenomenon is very common in many large trading houses. But this kind of enjoyment is definitely built on the level of not low level VIPs, such as the average silver VIP does not necessarily have a special VIP room, let alone such a service.
And many of these women were specially cultivated by some orphans adopted by these auction houses since childhood. On the Ancient Continent, thinking about these women, they have no strength, no background, and their fate is completely in the hands of others. However, it is not easy to be adopted and survive.
As for what kind of life they will face, they really don't have too many complaints, if in the process of these services, they meet a man who really loves them, and it is not impossible to change their fate from then on.
After introducing Gu Yan, the woman exited the VIP room. On the contrary, it was the auction girl, looking at Gu Yan's expression a little ugly, and even her hands trembled a little, Gu Yan naturally saw all this. But Gu Yan was also a miserable person in his previous life, so he didn't have the slightest reproach for her, but a kind of sympathy.
Gu Yan smiled slightly, "Don't be afraid, you sit down, I'm not someone with that kind of preference." Can you tell me my name?" Gu Yan's tone was very friendly, without a trace of the arrogance of Brother Gongzi.
Despite this, the woman was still a little scared, but finally sat down opposite Gu Yan and opened her cherry-like mouth, "Hui Gongzi, the little woman's name is Gu Yu, don't you really treat me like that?" said with a hint of hope in her eyes.
"The old saying, the old saying, it's really a good name, I have a younger sister, who is as cute as you, and she is also surnamed Gu, called Ling'er. Looking at the ancient language in front of him, Gu Yan thought of Gu Ling'er, the sister of his ancient dragon tribe, who had been away from the ancient dragon tribe for more than half a year, and he didn't know what happened to that little girl.
Gu Yan sighed secretly in his heart, looking at Gu Yan, the woman found that Gu Yan seemed to be different from the men his sisters said. "Really, I think she must be very cute!" Gu Yan is only fifteen or sixteen years old at most, and in Gu Yan's opinion, she is at most a little girl.
Gu Yan nodded, but at this time, the auctioneer's voice officially sounded in the hall of the auction, and he saw an old man standing on the round platform in the center, "Everyone, the old man must be an old acquaintance, so I won't introduce too much." ”
"The rules of the auction The old man doesn't say much, the one with the highest price wins, and I hope that all kinds of things that don't meet the rules of the business alliance will not appear in the auction hall. Of course, in the case of insufficient rocks, you can also use the corresponding items as collateral, and our appraisers of the business alliance will evaluate your things for free on the spot. ”
Looking at the white-haired old man, Gu Yan suddenly said, "Guyu, this old man seems to have a very high status, do you know him?"
Gu Yu was slightly stunned, and then said softly, "Childe, this old man is a full-time auctioneer of our business alliance, and he is also a D-level appraiser. He is a well-known figure throughout the Far East, and he presides over almost every auction. ”
Although the old saying is just an auctioneer, the auctioneers of this large business alliance are specially trained and have a certain understanding of a lot of common-sense information.
Listening to the introduction of the ancient saying, Gu Yan suddenly knew why this old man had such a high reputation. In the Ancient Continent, it is not only the strong people who are respected by others, nor is it that the higher the strength of the person, the higher the status and the greater the prestige.
There are many people like this old man on the Ancient Continent, although their strength is not high, their status and prestige are much higher than those who are stronger than ordinary people.
There are a lot of people like this, such as many alchemists and refiners, and naturally including the appraisers engaged in by this old man, all of whom belong to the kind of people whose strength is not very high, but their influence, reputation, and status are extraordinary. But this is not to say that these people are necessarily not strong.
Generally speaking, compared to those extremely high-level alchemists, generally speaking, the strength is very strong, because refining high-grade pills is not like refining ordinary pills, only Danding assists. And the refining of high-grade pills not only relies on the assistance of Danding, but also has higher requirements for alchemists.
Not only is the requirement for the soul power of the alchemist very high, but it is also not low for the cultivation of the True Yuan, because refining the high-grade elixir often requires the True Yuan to provide the continuous urging of the Danding Formation. Therefore, a high-level alchemist is generally also a martial arts master.
The old man announced that the annual auction of the Purple Star Business Alliance had officially begun, and the first auction item was a mortal-level top-grade crystal dagger made of Xuanying steel and quicksand gold. Although it is only a top-level crystal of the mortal rank, it has the special function of hidden thorns because of the special material. The white-haired old man explained.
Immediately, a woman was holding a small jade plate, and a black dagger was on the jade plate, "So the value of this crystal is much higher than that of an ordinary spirit level crystal for a killer." The starting price is 500 barren stones, and each increase shall not be less than 50 barren stones. ”
As soon as the old man's words were finished, the martial artists around the hall couldn't bear it anymore and began to make frantic offers.
"I have produced five hundred and sixty desolate stones. ”
"I'll give six hundred. ”
"I'm out seven hundred, seven hundred"······
Although Gu Yan also thought that the special function of this dagger was good, he was not too interested. Because Gu Yan is not a killer, and his cultivation is not an assassination, and secondly, he doesn't like to use weapons like daggers.
This dagger with special functions was finally auctioned off by a small force at the price of 1,200 barren stones, and the first auction item was auctioned at such a high price. Immediately, Gu Yan's interest in this auction became much stronger, because he knew that for an auction, the general finale items appeared at the end.
And with this momentum, wouldn't the value of the finale item be against the sky, naturally, Gu Yan's interest suddenly became a lot stronger.
After a while, several auction items were auctioned back by different forces, and the prices were naturally very high, almost all of them were above thousands of barren stones. If you were to look at the old rocks, you would definitely be amazed. But for today's Gu Yan, such things have long been used to it.
After all, he himself is now a relatively wealthy local tyrant, not to mention the rare and priceless cherished elixirs in the Void Tower, even the one million low-grade barren stones obtained from the Purple Star Business Alliance can be regarded as a large amount of wealth.
A million barren stones, for a big force like the Heavenly Demon Sect, may not be eye-catching, but don't forget, the current Guyan talent martial arts realm is at the pinnacle. If others knew that he, a kid at the peak of the martial arts realm, actually possessed a million barren stones, he would definitely be shocked to the point of unbelievability.
At this time, after a few auctions similar to appetizers, the first small ** of this auction has arrived. Between them, two purple masked men with a scimitar on their backs guarded a small box from under the stage, and then slowly walked up towards the auction table.
Looking at this scene, all of a sudden, the people in the hall looked at the small box with wide eyes, and the white-haired old man had a smile on his face, "Everyone, the auction has been going on for almost twenty rounds, and now it's time to have a little **." ”
"The next thing can really be regarded as a rare treasure, even the old man has only seen this thing twice. As he spoke, he slowly lifted the lid on the small box, and then a small jade bowl rose from the box.
At this time, everyone could already see the contents of the jade bowl slightly, white, some viscous liquid. "I think you may have heard of its name, but you have never seen it, this is one of the treasures of this auction|—|—Millennium stone stalactites!"
As soon as the white-haired old man's words came out, the entire hall was suddenly plunged into a boil. Even many people stood up directly. However, at this moment, an inexplicable coercion pressed from the auction table to the surroundings, and suddenly, the noisy venue immediately fell silent.
"The old man can understand everyone's excitement, but please don't forget the rules of the auction. The thousand-year-old stone stalactite is the existence of the great name that is not inferior to the spirit of heaven and earth, and it has an unimaginable enhancement effect on the body of the warrior. And in the cultivation world, the most precious thing is the things that can enhance the body and soul. ”
"Therefore, the value of the thousand-year-old stone stalactite does not need to be said by the old man, the starting price is 100,000 low-grade barren stones, and the price increase shall not be less than 500 barren stones each time. As soon as the white-haired old man's words ended, all of a sudden, the sound of bidding continued one after another.
At this time, Gu Yan noticed that the voice finally came from the VIP room, which had never been bid. And Gu Yan also knew which force was bidding, although the identities of the people in the VIP room were generally kept secret. However, as the overlords of the Far East City, the VIP room of the five tyrants is fixed.
Every time they participated in the auction, they went directly to the VIP room prepared for them by the Purple Star Business Alliance, and what made Gu Yan curious was that he didn't expect the Purple Star Business Alliance to also prepare a VIP room for the Evil Palace. This was a big surprise to Gu Yan, but he didn't have the heart to care too much.
The VIP room where the Heavenly Demon Gate was located directly doubled the auction price, bidding 200,000 low-grade barren stones. However, at this time, Huoyunmen seemed to attach great importance to this thousand-year-old stone stalactite, and it rose by another 10,000. I thought it was such a small-scale competition between the two forces, but at this time, a voice sounded.
"My evil temple bid 250,000 lower grade barren stones. Suddenly, everyone's attention was focused on the VIP room where the people of the evil temple were located. At this time, the hall was already quiet. These small forces, even if they are desperate, they don't have the strength to compete with the overlords of the Heavenly Demon Gate, so it is better to be interesting and watch the scene quietly.
