084 Auction (I)

"I don't know this very well, there are too many rumors, and I can't tell the truth from the false." Dou Xiaoxiao shook his head and said with some uncertainty: "In the past, there were rumors that even mortals could cultivate to the foundation building period after eating it, but then I heard that if they were only taken before refining the Great Perfection of Qi and preparing to build the foundation, the success rate would increase by at least thirty percent......"

Sancheng...... That's a lot.

is the disciple of the Xuanyin Sect, and the success of building the foundation at one time is less than one percent, that is to say, ninety percent of the disciples who build the foundation have failed once, and only succeeded the second and third times.

Increasing the success rate of 30% is not just a numerical increase, but is closely related to the monks themselves.

A monk, even if he is ninety percent sure that he will be able to build a successful foundation, but the remaining uncertainty will be able to make him succeed...... However, if such a monk is paired with a Tsukidan that can really increase the success rate......

It will definitely cause a wave of Tsukidan.

In fact, there is no need for a 30% success rate, even if it is only half a percent, the monks will not give up on Tsukidan.

"Where did that Tsukidan come from?" Zhang Baihua frowned and asked.

"This is not clear, the consignor is very mysterious, I heard that he is a master-level alchemist, but the auction house has not seen him in person, he entrusted someone else to send the auction." Dou Xiaoxiao told Zhang Baihua all the gossip he heard: "According to the client, this master has been studying Zhuji Dan for hundreds of years, and I don't know how many times he failed during this period, so he has the finished product this time." ”

"Since he is a master-level alchemist, at least he is a cultivator above the foundation building, right?" Zhang Baihua asked strangely, "What is he doing studying Tsukidan?" ”

Even if it is Dan Xiu, in essence, it is also working hard for cultivation. Isn't it unusual to spend a lot of time on Tsukidan, which means nothing to himself?

Besides, the elixir that was refined with such a difficulty, but it was put up for auction in such a remote county, don't you feel a little sorry for his "hundreds of years" of research?

"This ...... Maybe it's for the sake of your own descendants? Dou Xiaoxiao was also stunned. I tried to think about it, but I couldn't convince myself of the reason. If it is refined for posterity, why should it be put up for auction?

Unless...... He himself couldn't guarantee the effect of the pill, so he took it out as someone else's experiment.

As for why the auction would auction such a suspicious thing. Mainly because the organizers are the official officials of Qi Linguo, they only hope that the county under their rule will become better and more prosperous, but they don't care too much about whether the monks who buy those things will be deceived or not. Once the Tsukidan thing appears. It was definitely the focus of everyone's eyes, so even though they knew that it was a little inappropriate, they still took it.

Anyway, if you don't believe it, you can't buy it, plus the other party's promise is 100% effective, and a deposit of not low amount has been paid, so of course it will be a smooth trip to test the water.

"Hey, forget it, it's none of our business, whatever!" Dou Xiaoxiao, who felt that her head was a little confused, shook off the messy thoughts in her head, which was strange. Every time she was with this girl, she seemed to be easily influenced, and began to think about things that she wouldn't have thought about before, and it was a little different from her!

"That's right." Zhang Baihua smiled: "It's me." ”

"Listening to your tone, it's like a Buddha cultivator." Dou Xiaoxiao smacked her lips.

"There's nothing wrong with Buddhist cultivation......

"Haven't you heard? The Tao is not the same, our Taoist cultivation and Buddhist cultivation are two different things...... Don't go the wrong way! Didn't you run into those bald asses when I went out just now? No, how could a Buddha be in such a place...... Could it be that he is also here for Tsukidan? Zhang Baihua just said casually, she was an atheist in her previous life, and there was no difference between gods and Buddhas in her eyes, but Dou Xiaoxiao made a very serious face.

…… Girl, brain supplement is a disease. The medicine can't be stopped!

"You think too much, I've never seen a Buddha when I'm so old!" Zhang Baihua quickly shook her head to interrupt her thoughts.

"Then what are you doing when you mention Buddha cultivation for some reason?" Dou Xiaoxiao glanced at her: "How old a person is, not stable at all." ”

…… In terms of age, she should still be a girl.

Well...... If it were mortal. The kind of girl who can marry and have children.

"Say it casually, it's obvious that you want to be crooked, but you blame me." Zhang Baihua is also not angry, she has probably given her too much good face in the past few days, she really has no temper!

really refused to lose at all, Dou Xiaoxiao said helplessly: "...... Never mind. Don't quarrel with your little girl, it's embarrassing, I'll go back to the house to rest, you also have a rest, recuperate, let's raise some energy at night. ”

After Zhang Baihua nodded, she walked back to her room.

She knew that what Dou Xiaoxiao said at the end was not untargeted, there were many fish and dragons in this place, and it was difficult to distinguish between good and bad. Although they were prepared, no one knew what would happen until the end...... Under the premise that the official escort ability is extremely weak, if they want to ensure their own safety, they can only rely on themselves.

Zhang Baihua is not particularly worried, generally speaking, there is still a certain amount of security after the end of this kind of auction, otherwise it would not have been held so many times one session at a time.

The night seemed to pass very slowly, and I don't know when, Dou Xiaoxiao came and knocked on Zhang Baihua's door: "Sister Ziyu, it's time for us to go." ”

"Come in." Zhang Baihua opened her eyes, opened the door, let Dou Xiaoxiao enter the room, and glanced out the window, sure enough, it was almost time. "You're very ...... on time"

"Don't say that some of these things are gone, let's get out quickly! That place is still a little far from us," Dou Xiaoxiao said a little anxiously: "If it's over, even if there is an invitation, we won't be able to enter it." ”

“…… Let's go! Anyway, her words really weren't sarcastic, didn't she hear them as sarcasm, right?

I walked all the way, and it was easy to arrive, and I found that there were not many people who had not yet entered...... The number of people in the auction is limited, and those who don't have an invitation will be asked to leave, because there are not many monks around who plan to fish in troubled waters.

After showing the invitation of the two masked men in black at the door, a graceful female cultivator walked out, only to see that she was wearing half a mask on her face, a bit like the kind of chicken feather mask that Zhang Baihua had seen at the masquerade ball in her previous life, and holding a tray in her hand, she respectfully sent it to the two of them.

Inside the tray are two silver masks that can cover most of the face, presumably to raise the price of the side, so the mouth and jaw are exposed. Two black cloaks were neatly stacked under the mask, and the nun motioned for them to put them on.

Xu was worried that something would happen at this auction, so the Qi Linguo officials seemed to have used a lot of brains to ensure the safety of buyers to the greatest extent possible within the scope of what they could.

After all...... If you can't see your face, you can't confirm who the real buyer is.

However, there is a downside to this, there is a high probability that someone will attack indiscriminately because they feel similar, and then more than one person will suffer.

Zhang Baihua picked up the mask and covered it without saying a word, and it did not have the cold and hard feeling of metal as imagined, but it was very comfortable, fitting the face, although it obviously covered the nose, but the breathing was not affected, it was very magical.

Putting on their cloaks, the nun invited them in and disappeared. Zhang Baihua touched the mask on his face and asked Dou Xiaoxiao, who was also dressed, "Do you know what kind of material this is made of?" ”

"This one is quite common, it's made of snow silk. In the past, there was a kind of snow silkworm that would spit out this kind of silk in the extremely cold land, because it was tenacious, light and soft, and was very sought after by some female cultivators. Later, it was discovered that this snow silk has a property, it turns silver when exposed to fire, it looks as hard as metal, and at the same time it has a softness that metal does not have, so it is used to make masks and soft armor, which are very famous...... In the past, snow silkworms were scarce and very expensive, but since they have gradually become domesticated, although the yield is high, the quality is not as good as before. Dou Xiaoxiao seemed to have a little pity, and looked very yearning for the silk soft armor: "Although it is cheaper now, but most of the casual cultivators like me can't even afford such a mask!" ”

…… Yin Xiu basically doesn't wear soft armor, so Zhang Baihua doesn't know about this.

"I really know......" She actually didn't expect to get it back, but she didn't expect her to really say it, Zhang Baihua said: "I really like this mask, I don't know if they sell it or not." ”

"We'll call someone over and ask in a moment."

Just as they were talking, the whole auction room suddenly fell silent with the sound of a gong being struck...... Everyone seemed to have a clear mind, and remained silent at this time.

"Fellow Daoists, seniors, hello everyone, I am the second-level auctioneer of Anzhen Auction House, Lotte." A man with dimples who laughed sweetly stood in front of the stage out of nowhere, he was not tall, he was not handsome and beautiful, he was very ordinary, but his smile was extraordinarily kind, and his voice was as beautiful as a clear spring, it was a pity not to be a singer. "Our auction will officially start in half an hour, and now is our free time to trade! If you have any materials you want to exchange, you can come to me to register, and if you have special needs, you can also say them and see if anyone present is willing to trade......"

Zhang Baihua immediately reacted, this should be the opportunity for free trading that Dou Xiaoxiao said before.

For about a quarter of an hour, the auctioneer had been talking and taking notes with the various monks who had flocked to him.

Then, in the order of registration, the auctioneer began to report the contents of one transaction after another, and if he was interested, he would offer, and if he didn't, he would skip to the next one.

The sequence was very fast, and there was no tension at all.

I think there must have been an agreement in advance. (To be continued.) )
