Chapter 15: The Blood Cardinal
The man seemed to have heard something terrible, and stood up from his chair, one hand on the table, shaking slightly. He squinted, perhaps thinking he had reacted a little too much, and sat down again.
Tianshu didn't say anything, as expected.
"Excuse me, how much are you going to start selling?" he asked cautiously.
Tianshu paused, held her fair and immature chin with one hand, and thought for a while before speaking: "You can set the price yourself, but the money you get will help me exchange it for a medium-grade spirit stone." ”
"How?"
The man frowned, seeming to hesitate, obviously not expecting Tianshu to ask such a question.
"But ......"
"I don't think it's difficult, and among the people who come to the auction, there may be some with spirit stones. The profit from the difference in the middle is a lot of money for you. The corners of Tianshu's mouth rose slightly, and she was a little condescending.
"Good...... Okay, we'll do our best. He spoke.
Immediately afterwards, Tianshu took out a pale yellow bead from her arms, held it in her hand, and shook it.
The girl next to her quickly understood what she meant and hurried out. In a matter of moments, she took in her hand a small and delicate box, the lid ajar open, and a circular groove carved into it.
The girl respectfully handed over the box, and the yellow-grade Red Spider Beast Pill rested quietly in it.
"This beast pill will be put in the next auction, we should be able to participate, right?" Tianshu asked.
"Yes, the next auction is still an hour away, please go to the main hall and wait, I can arrange VIP seats for the two of you in the palace. He gently grasped the delicate little box with both hands, and a few green tendons on the back of his hands protruded, looking very nervous.
"Come with me, both of you. The girl said softly.
Tianshu walked out of the door with Mo Yang and walked in the direction of the main hall under her leadership.
It was a wide, dark corridor surrounded by strange pictures of human faces, patterns, and a motley of symbols painted on the high marble walls. The sky-blue tiles blend seamlessly with the dark dome, giving the illusion of being in the depths of the sea.
Because "Eh, Sister Tianshu, is it worth exchanging our beast pill for a medium spirit stone?" Mo Yang finally asked, but he held back for a long time.
From just now to now, he is like a well-behaved kitten, staying quietly by Tianshu's side. He couldn't talk about the deal between high-end goods.
"It's not worth it. Tianshufeng said lightly, seemingly unconcerned.
"Then why are you doing this? Aren't we at a loss?" Mo Yang's voice was loud, and it reverberated in the dim corridor.
"It's the best way I can think of it. Tianshu's eyelashes twitched slightly.
"You urgently need a high-quality spirit stone to refine your spiritual veins and complete your spiritual energy master's advancement. Moreover, the scale of this kind of auction house is not large, and we have not been able to complete the equivalent exchange between the Yellow Beast Pills, so we don't have so much effort to find the right Beast Pills. "Tianshu knew very well in her heart that if she wanted to join the Heavenly Sect, she had to at least be a third-order spirit master. She didn't want to give up the opportunity to let Mo Yang join the sect.
Because of his potential, it's unimaginable.
The hall was large, but there were only a few wide corridors that staggered them, and after a short walk, they came to the auction house.
This is a large venue covering an area of nearly 1,000 square meters, divided into two levels, with hundreds of seats at the bottom, and few seats on the second floor, which is obviously VIP seats. In the center of the venue is a wide platform with a simple layout, which is the center of the auction. The people in the venue were sparse and kept walking in from outside the door, and if you looked closely, most of them were famous families.
Led by the girl, the two of them sat down in a more advanced position on the second floor. The chairs are very comfortable, the backs and seats are wide and soft, embroidered with a layer of light white velvet, and sitting on top of them, you can see the venue of the University.
As time passed, there were more and more people in the venue, and when they looked down, they were crowded with black and oppressive people.
Mo Yang couldn't sit still, and his ADHD began to faintly haunt, "Sister Tianshu, when will it start?" He put his two hands around the back of his neck, and Erlang's legs were cocked, and he said impatiently.
At this moment, a few wisps of wind swept by, and a handsome young man appeared in front of the two. He walks like a breeze through a gap, like a butterfly wearing a flower, looking so gentle and elegant. Dressed in a sky-blue splendid cicada robe, loose and natural on his tall and thin body, holding a delicate paper fan, swaying a few times from time to time, lightly fanning his delicate and handsome cheeks.
He sat down a seat away from Mo Yang, the paper fan was half-closed, he turned his head and smiled at Mo Yang, nodded lightly, and the bunched willow pigtails that were tied up swayed from side to side, exuding an approachable and elegant air in his gestures.
Mo Yang was stunned, and returned an embarrassing smile.
The auction began, and everyone in the room sat back in their seats. Around Mo Yang and Tianshu, there are some noble children who are brightly dressed and invincible.
I saw a beautiful woman slowly walking up to the platform in the center of the venue, her demeanor was elegant, her steps were light, and she was holding a long sword in her two slender and white hands.
The sword was a meter long, shining brightly in the light, with several brilliant white crystals embedded in the handle.
"The first exhibit is a knight's sword from Wangcheng, which is the exclusive sword of the first detachment of the city guard cavalry, and is ...... by the famous blacksmith Chan Liang" The beautiful woman's voice was not high, but her voice was loud enough to spread to every corner of the venue.
"Cut, isn't it just a sales pitch? In the past, there would always be some outsiders coming to our town to sell things, and blowing those strange things into the sky was really useless. Mo Yang pursed his lips and said with some disdain.
"The auction starts at 1,000 gold coins. The woman made an introduction and quoted the price.
Then, a few people on the first floor bid the price, and there were only a few low tones.
"One thousand one hundred gold coins. ”
"Thirteen hundred gold coins. ”
"Fifteen hundred gold coins. ”
And no one on the second floor made a loud offer, perhaps this kind of thing did not arouse their interest at all.
Next, they were just inconspicuous items, and they were all auctioned off by other bidders. Tianshu, who was sitting in the chair, was a little impatient, she wanted to see if there were any good things, but they were just some inconsequential goods.
All five of the items were auctioned, and when the sixth, an inconspicuous necklace, was brought to the stage, it caught Tianshu's attention.
Its pendant is embedded with a blood-red translucent gemstone, surrounded by a circle of glossy bright silver and gold, faintly emitting a faint reddish shimmer.
"Everyone, please note that this is a necklace for the Reiki Master. It's called 'Scarlet Finches'. Maybe everyone here may not be aware of it, but this chain can absorb the surrounding spiritual energy, continuously inject it into the body of the spiritual energy master, and use it, and in the place where the spiritual energy is rich, it will also emit a dazzling light, which is definitely a rare treasure" The woman on the stage held up the blood-red gem in her hand and displayed it to the public.
Hearing this, there was a lot of commotion in the hall, because it was really difficult for ordinary people to see if this gem really had such a miraculous effect.
Tianshu's dark eyes shot a hint of eagerness, staring at the necklace called Blood Cardinal, as if she was about to move.
And Mo Yang on the side didn't say anything, seeing that Tianshu would behave like this, presumably that necklace was indeed a good thing. He thought of it as a matter of course.
"20,000 gold coins starting at auction!" The woman spoke.
"Thirty thousand gold coins. ”
The first sound, coming from the VIP seat on the second floor, was the handsome young man who had just sat next to Mo Yang.
Tianshu turned her head and looked at him in disbelief, the corners of her mouth glanced slightly, and her eyes were full of determination.
"Fifty thousand gold coins. ”
Tianshu's gentle voice echoed in the hall of the university, and no third person spoke, as if they didn't want to buy the necklace.
The air around was mixed with the smell of gunpowder.
But what Tianshu didn't expect was that the man didn't raise the price again, just waved his hand, signaled to give up, and showed a warm smile at Tianshu.
It's incomprehensible.
"Fifty thousand gold coins at a time. ”
"Fifty thousand gold coins twice. ”
"Fifty thousand gold coins three times. ”
"The young lady in the VIP seat took a picture of the Blood Cardinal. ”
