Chapter XXIII
"Slow down, adults. ”
After the caravan entered the city, Yang Ming was about to part ways with the caravan, and when he was about to leave with Xiao Yan, the chief manager of Gou Dai greeted him, and after calling Yang Ming to stop, he said respectfully: "Thank you for your escort along the way, if you have any leisure, you can come to our Thousand Medicine Pavilion and sit down, and this association will definitely welcome each other." In addition, the villain has an invitation here, which is an auction meeting organized by the eight doors of the strongest sect in the city, and the location is the Black Seal Auction House. If you are interested, you can go to the auction to have a look, and you may have unexpected gains. ”
As he spoke, he took out a purple invitation card and handed it to both hands.
Yang Ming took the invitation and glanced at it, and said, "The head of Gou Dai has a heart, if you have the opportunity, you will definitely visit and say goodbye!"
"Please. ”
Yang Ming and Xiao Yan left the caravan and wandered around the Black Seal City.
Although Black Seal City is only one of the dozens of cities in the Black Corner Domain, its prosperity is not inferior to that of the Gama Empire, and the street market is bustling with activity, and you can see strong people who have cultivated their fighting spirit everywhere.
Although there are a lot of strange things in the market, for Yang Ming and Xiao Yan, there are almost no that can be seen.
After a round of shopping, the two settled down in a nice inn.
Yang Ming said: "You don't have to care about the past two days when you go to Canaan Academy, it just so happens that the auction will start tomorrow, let's also go and join in the fun, and it's not too late to go on the road when the auction is over." ”
Xiao Yan naturally had no objections, but he still asked, "It's okay to go to the auction to have a look, but has Master Yang brought enough gold coins?"
Yang Ming was surprised: "Money, of course I don't have ...... As an alchemist, you don't have no money, right?"
Xiao Yan shrugged. Said: "If there is enough time, I can exchange a lot of money for practicing a few furnaces of pills." But there is not much time now, and I am afraid it will be too late. ”
Yang Ming smiled. said: "It doesn't matter, if there is really something good, just grab it directly." ”
Xiao Yan was speechless for a while.
The next day, the auction began.
Yang Ming and Xiao Yan took the invitation card and smoothly entered the Black Seal Auction Hall, and everyone who entered with the invitation card had a separate VIP seat.
This is obviously the VIP area.
Directly in front of the VIP area is a gorgeous auction table made of crystal, which is completely empty at this time.
At the back of the VIP area. There are also several areas, where the furnishings are far worse than the VIP area, which is obviously an ordinary area, and you can enter it by paying for a ticket.
"This Black Seal Auction House is doing a good job, and it is even more magnificent than the Mitre Auction House in the Imperial Capital. Xiao Yan looked around and couldn't help but admire.
When Xiao Yan looked around, there were also several eyes looking at them from the front and back of the VIP area, and it was obvious that their two young and unfamiliar faces had already attracted the attention of these people, but these people were only looking at them from a distance. And never came over to set almost.
About half an hour later, a white-haired old man who seemed to be an auctioneer walked up to the crystal platform and struck a small black bell next to the crystal platform.
"Bell!"
A crisp bell rang, not loud but penetrating. The noisy and noisy venue was instantly quiet, and everyone's attention was attracted by the old man and focused on the crystal auction table.
"It's finally getting started. Xiao Yan's spirit was also shocked. There was a look of anticipation on his face.
After making a very brief opening statement, the white-haired old man announced the official start of the auction.
The first item was brought up. It is a long sword with an all-blue body.
The white-haired old man introduced the sword: "The first item is a powerful magic nuclear weapon, the Cold Edge Sword. This sword was carefully forged by the Chief Forger of the Eight Gates. It is cast from cold iron, sharpened like clay, and the hilt of the sword is inlaid with a third-order ice demonic beast...... You must not miss it, the reserve price of this sword is 100,000, and the bidding begins. ”
Yang Ming only cultivates his own physical body, but Xiao Yan already has a heavy ruler, and he is not interested in this sword. However, there were many people who were interested in this sword, and as soon as the auctioneer's voice fell, the sound of bidding rang out one after another.
It can be seen that the market of magic nuclear weapons is still quite good.
Like Yang Ming and Xiao Yan, the people in the VIP area had little interest in this low-grade weapon, and all the bidding came from the ordinary area in the rear.
A moment later, the Hanfeng Sword was auctioned off by a sturdy man for 150,000 yuan.
After the first auction item was successfully auctioned, various treasures were brought to the stage one after another, and even some strange items with unknown effects appeared.
Yang Ming and Xiao Yan had been uninterested in these things until a broken map appeared on the crystal platform.
“…… Pure Lotus Demon Fire Remnant Diagram!"
The moment this remnant appeared on the crystal platform, Xiao Yan's nerves tightened, his pupils contracted suddenly, his hands shrunk in his sleeves were clenched tightly, and his mind was all occupied by the name of the Pure Lotus Demon Fire, and he didn't even hear the auctioneer's introduction clearly.
“…… The reserve price for this lot is 100,000 yuan, and the bidding is now open. The auctioneer's indifferent voice sounded, and he was not very optimistic about this auction item.
"Master Yang, you must get this residual picture. Xiao Yan whispered.
"Anla, Anla, since it appeared in front of me, no one can take it away, not even Dou Sheng. Yang Ming said casually, paused, and said: "When you say this, I think that I seem to have seen a similar residual picture." ”
"Have you seen other remnants, where are they?" Xiao Yan hurriedly asked.
"In the hands of the Ice Emperor Hai Bodong...... Rest assured, although the old guy may not know the true value of this remnant, he can also see that it is extraordinary, and he will not throw it away as a scrap. Yang Ming said unhurriedly. "That old fellow owes me a favor, and when we meet again, I'll get it from him. ”
"Hoo ......"
Xiao Yan let out a long breath and shook his head, putting down his chaotic thoughts.
"The reserve price of this lot is 100,000 yuan, and no one has bid?" the auctioneer made a routine announcement for the third time, and then continued. "Since there are no bids, then I declare this lot ......"
"One hundred and ten thousand. Before his words fell, Xiao Yan's voice rang out.
"I can still take out hundreds of thousands of gold coins, if I can take it down, it is naturally the best, if not, I can only trouble Master Yang. Xiao Yan explained to Yang in a low voice.
"It's fine. Yang Ming nodded indifferently.
The auctioneer on the crystal platform was also stunned when he heard someone bidding, but his good professional level made him react quickly, and immediately said: "This adult bid 110,000 yuan, is there anyone else bidding?"
"One hundred and twenty thousand. Just as the auctioneer's voice fell, another voice sounded, speaking a young man of twenty-four or five years old, this person's face was very pale, but it was not a sick white color caused by injuries and other reasons, but an abnormal phase caused by a special cultivation of fighting qi.
Through the previous conversation, Yang Ming and Xiao Yan already knew the identity of this person, Fan Ling, the young sect leader of the Blood Sect.
The Blood Sect is one of the first-class forces in the Black Horn Domain, not inferior to the Eight Gates of the Landlord here, the headquarters of the Blood Sect is located in the City of Twilight, the sect master is the strength of the mid-level Dou Huang Black List powerhouse Fan Xuan, there are several elders in the sect whose strength is close to the Dou Huang, if it is placed in the Gama Empire, it is only slightly weaker than the Yunlan Sect, and it is even stronger than the Gama Royal Family, the Alchemist Guild and other super forces.
As soon as Fan Ling's voice fell, another voice sounded: "One hundred and thirty thousand." ”
The quote was an elder of the Black Skull Tomb, and the force where this person was located was also one of the first-class forces in the Black Horn Domain, and his status was no worse than that of the Blood Sect and the Eight Gates.
Hearing the offer of these two people, Xiao Yan's brows couldn't help frowning: "Obviously, I wasn't interested before......
Yang Ming said with a smile: "This is normal, everyone has the mind to pick up leaks, especially these strange things, maybe they are priceless treasures, and hundreds of thousands of gold coins are not too many for these people." In addition, these people are also very curious about our identity and want to test it. ”
Listening to Yang Ming's persuasion, Xiao Yan let out a long breath, but his face was still not very good-looking.
"If you're really in such a hurry, I'll grab it right now. Yang Ming said, his words were not a joke, there were really not many things he didn't dare to do in this world.
"Don't ...... If it is robbed now, it will really attract the attention of others. If someone recognizes it, that outcome is even worse. Xiao Yan said immediately.
After a few people called for a round, the bidding stopped, and the last one to bid was Fan Ling, the young sect leader of the Blood Sect, with 160,000 gold coins.
Seeing that no one continued to raise the price, the auctioneer made a final decision and auctioned the remnant picture to Fan Ling.
"Fan Ling. Xiao Yan's fists clenched tightly and muttered, obviously this person had been put on the list of must-kill by him.
The auction continued, and after the remnants of the Pure Lotus Demon Fire, several more good things appeared, two of which were attractive to Xiao Yan, but these two things were not something he would have obtain, and they were not worth mentioning compared to the remnants of the Pure Lotus Demon Fire.
After dozens of rounds, the auction is coming to an end, and the top treasures are presented one by one.
"Ground level low-level body fighting skills, three thousand thunder ......" This is the penultimate auction item, and the auctioneer enthusiastically introduces this auction item, foaming at the mouth.
In fact, he didn't need to make more introductions, just for this level, it had already made countless people's eyes red.
The auction hall has been boiling because of the appearance of this volume of fighting skills, and even several big people sitting in the VIP area have already stood up, and they are already determined to get this thing.
"This volume of fighting skills is okay, Xiao Yan, you don't have any advanced body fighting skills, I think this fighting skill is quite suitable for you, in the case of snatching the Pure Lotus Demon Fire Remnant Diagram, if you still have time, just grab it." Yang Ming said casually.
Xiao Yan nodded again and again, okay, quite improvised, he didn't think it was bad at all.
……
After several rounds of fierce price exchange, the three thousand thunderbolts were finally auctioned off by the elders of the Black Skull Tomb for a huge price of more than 10 million. (To be continued.) )
