Chapter 32 The Auction
Gu Yan quietly looked at the intarsia invitation card handed over by He Zhuo, the badge of the city lord's mansion was impressive, Gu Yan frowned and said, "What is this?"
"I heard that in response to the upcoming hunting conference, the City Lord's Mansion specially held this auction," He Zhuo explained respectfully, "It is said to increase the life-saving means of the young masters of each family. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"Interesting!" Looking at the enthusiastic invitation on the invitation, Gu Yan said with interest, obviously he didn't expect the City Lord's Mansion to invite him.
"The last time the adults were attacked, it was not unrelated to the City Lord's Mansion, Patriarch Xiao suggested that the adults should not go," He Zhuo humbly admonished: "Of course, all this needs to be decided by the adults themselves!"
"Go! Why not go? Gu Yan rubbed his chin with interest and said, he wants to see what medicine is sold in Ji Yu's gourd?
Yaowu Tower, located in Lishan Square, is the most sacred place in Lishan City, the 100-meter-high tower is like a lion prostrating in Lishan City, looking at its deep eyes, looking at the huge city under the night.
At this time, the Yaowu Building was solemn and solemn, brightly lit, and on the bright red carpet, the major families of Lishan City were walking towards the pavilion of the auction hall like a long dragon, talking and laughing along the way, and they had been looking forward to the upcoming auction for a long time.
"The head of the Wang family has arrived with his family!"
"The families have grown!"
"The Chen family has arrived!"
"Lu Yao, the patriarch of the Lu family, has arrived!"
The salute officer in charge of the announcement shouted loudly and read out the many guests who had come in a hurry. When the three major families met, they inevitably exchanged pleasantries for a while, as if they had been familiar with each other for a long time, but after talking, they dispersed in their own ways, obviously, the three giants of Lishan City looked like they were separated, and the greetings were just etiquette.
"Why didn't the adults arrive?" Looking at He Zhuo, who was alone, Xiao Yan asked in surprise, the day before yesterday, He Zhuo reported that the adult would come as promised, but so far, there has been no trace of the adult.
"Your Excellency said there was something going on, and then it came." He Zhuo hurriedly bowed and explained, even if he had the wisdom to invite the alchemist as a great god for the Xiao family, he still couldn't help but be frightened when facing the bewitching and beautiful patriarch in front of him.
Xiao Yan nodded knowingly, and then led more than a dozen women from the Xiao family into Yaowu Tower.
"Xiao Yan, the patriarch of the Xiao family, has arrived!" Looking at the group of hardcover women with beautiful faces but wearing leather shoes in front of him, the salute officer couldn't help but be in awe, and the voice of the report was obviously much louder.
Recently, the Xiao family can be said to be in the limelight, since the mysterious alchemist sat in the Xiao family, in just over a month, the Xiao family's Baicaotang seems to have surpassed the momentum of the city lord's mansion Lishan medicine storehouse, and the elixir refined by the mysterious alchemist even has a miraculous effect on the Yuan master, and it is rumored that the Baicaotang pill can suppress the function of 100 meters of coercion, and in an instant, the city lord's mansion pill has shrunk greatly, and there is little interest.
The auctions in Lishan City are usually initiated by the three major families or the city lord's mansion, but the hosts are some old-timers who are publicly announced, and they have a high reputation in the hearts of the people, so they can convince the public.
"Mr. Gu Long is here with his family and Miss Zhuyu!"
Suddenly, the salute official sang, his words were full of respect, as the strongest person in Lishan City, it was rumored that Gu Long had broken through the Yuan Spirit, and the patriarchs of the three major families were still hovering around the Sanpin Yuan Master, such an absolute gap between worlds of difference, everyone worshipped Gu Long as the guardian god of Lishan City.
Beside Gu Long, Zhu Yu, the first person of the younger generation in Lishan City, is like a heroic dome lily, with a bit of brutality in her heroic spirit, and with her peerless appearance that captivates the country and the city, it seems to have become a highlight of this auction. It's just that as a genius of all families, he didn't attend with the heads of all families, but followed Mr. Gu Long, and the cat in it was thought-provoking.
And beside Zhuyu, Gu Yan, who was led by the girl, was like a beautiful scenery, like a white bi with slight flaws, the first beauty of Lishan didn't know why she fell in love with this "ordinary person" who had been silent for five years, Gu Yan had since recovered his talent, and he thought that he would soar into the sky, shocking the world, but a few months passed, and the young man fell silent again, and people who didn't know thought that Gu Yan had become a waste again.
Feeling the hostility and contempt in the eyes of the young masters of the family, Gu Yan couldn't help but sigh, he planned to attend the auction as an alchemist, but Cousin Zhuyu invited him to go with him, and it was difficult to refuse, Gu Yan had to make an appointment with the Xiao family.
And holding the soft and boneless soft wattle of Zhuyu's cousin along the way, Gu Yan couldn't help but feel his heart fluttering, as if he had returned to the frolicking years of his childhood again, and was molested by his cousin again.
The major families sat down one by one according to their strength, the three major families undoubtedly occupied the last position in the front row, Wang Hongjian and Wang Ming were sitting next to Wang Xiao, the head of the Wang family, and Zhu Lin sat next to Zhu Zhai without accident.
Surprisingly, the Xiao family seemed to be ranked in the first sequence, which was beyond Xiao Yan's expectations, and Lu Yao, the patriarch of the Lu family, was already angry.
As the initiator, the City Lord's Mansion deservedly sat in the first seat, and the City Lord Ji Huang was still the gentleness that convinces people with virtue, and beside him, Ji Yu, the only alchemist in Lishan City in the past, looked at everyone with a gloomy face.
When Ji Yu saw Gu Yan and Zhu Yu's hands tightly together, his deep eyes couldn't help flashing a trace of gloom, and then they were replaced by ferocity, thinking of the upcoming hunting conference, Ji Yu finally smiled sadly, letting the two of them "linger and compassionate".
As the strongest man in Lishan, Gu Long also sat next to the city lord, and the two occasionally chatted a few words, but the chill in Mr. Gu Long's tone made the greetings come to an abrupt end.
"Dangdang!"
As the host rang the bronze bell for the start of the auction, the entire Yaowu Building fell silent for a moment, and people looked at the old man on the high platform with anticipation.
"The auction has officially begun," he cleared his throat and raised his hand to suppress the low noise: "This auction is initiated by the City Lord's Mansion, thanks to your love, the old man has the honor to preside over this conference, the auction process is no stranger to you, and the old man is not a stranger, and the old man is not bothered, now the auction of the first sale item begins."
As the host's voice gradually fell, two flowery girls wore uniform and gorgeous cheongsam, and a finely carved red sandalwood brocade box came out in their hands.
Gently placed on the red curtain salute in front of him, opened the brocade box, and suddenly a streamer burst out, only to see a heavy armor made of dark iron in front of him, and in the center of the armor, a blood-colored demonic beast crystal nucleus exuded a sense of condensation.
"Xuan-level intermediate-level 'Boring Blood Armor', with the third-order demonic beast 'Boring Kun Blood Bear' crystal nucleus as the center, and the geocentric Xuantie as the armor, the forged breastplate can be immune to the fatal blow of the Ninth Rank Yuanshi, and all attacks below the Yuanshi will be eliminated." The host explained the structure and function of the spirit armor catchily, and many genius young masters in the audience were all salivating, if the hunting conference had such a spirit armor, wouldn't it be effortless to win the first place in the conference?
"The reserve price is two thousand gold coins, and each increase must not be less than one hundred gold coins!" The old man raised his hand slightly, signaled people to be quiet, and then quoted the bottom line of the bidding.
"Two thousand five hundred gold coins!" Wang Xiao, the patriarch of the Wang family, took the lead in bidding, and as soon as he made a move, there was a gap of five hundred, which really made people sigh that the Wang family was rich and rich, and everyone was in an uproar, and Wang Hongjian was also so excited that he was at a loss, obviously, Wang Xiao bought it for his youngest son.
"Two thousand six!"
"Two thousand eight!"
"Three thousand!"
However, there are still many families who do not buy the Wang family's account, Wang Xiao turned his head from time to time and looked at the person who raised the price, but the latter did not care too much, the auction bidding depends on their ability, Lishan City has an independent decree, but I am really not afraid that Wang Xiao will dare to do anything to provoke the anger of the public.
"Three thousand five hundred!" With Wang Xiao shouting angrily, the price was finally fixed at 3,500 gold coins, and the other families did not increase the price, this price has exceeded the original value of the spirit armor, and only the Wang family has strong assets, and this loss is like a drop in the bucket. As the host sounded the alarm three times, the spirit armor finally fell into the hands of the Wang family.
And from beginning to end, except for the Wang family, none of the big families in Lishan City have made a bid, although this "boring blood armor" is really good, but it is not so much that they are competing for it, and it is rumored that there are big fish out of the water behind them, and they are all waiting for the finale with all their might.
And these things are undoubtedly in the eyes of Gu Yan, under his special physique, his skin is as tough as steel, and with the healing speed of the blood. Defense? Offense is the best defense!
The next thing was some spirit armor weapons, which were useless to Gu Yan, although the bidding in the audience was foaming at the mouth, and gradually, Gu Yan, who had nothing to do, actually pulled a hara and fell asleep.
"Haven't you arrived yet?" Xiao Yanrou turned pale, and asked anxiously, "Could it be that something happened to the adult?"
Originally, the adult said that it would arrive later, but the auction had been going on for an hour, and the adult still did not appear, and the anxious Xiao Yan did not have the heart to bid, and looked at the closed door from time to time, like sitting on pins and needles.
"Gu Yan! Wake up! Suddenly, the sleeping boy was awakened by a jolt, and when he opened his sleepy eyes, Gu Yan looked at the girl beside him curiously.
At this time, Zhu Yu took an embroidered handkerchief in disgust, wiped her arms over and over again, raised her eyes with a hint of speechlessness in her anger, glanced at Gu Yan and said, "I'm still drooling when I sleep."
Gu Yan scratched his head in embarrassment, his face flushed, and he changed the topic only after half a sound: "I'll go to the toilet!"
Without waiting for the girl to continue to count, Gu Yan crawled towards the backstage, however, the panicked teenager scurried around and broke into the depths of the auction backstage.
But suddenly, Gu Yan's whole body slammed, his brows furrowed deeply, and his pace gradually slowed down.
"The smell of blood?" Sniffing lightly, there was a faint smell of blood in the air, and the young man couldn't help but look gloomy, as the highest-level gathering in Lishan City, how could there be a smell of blood in the background?
