Chapter Eighty-Six: The Auction
Chapter Eighty-Six: The Auction
It seems that the idea of going to Lingshi Island to get Lingshi for emergency has completely failed. After thinking about it along the way, Zhou Moyang finally decided to go to Bai Yujing first, auction off the dozen or so elixirs obtained from Zuo Xiuren, sell the two flying sword spirit weapons he had just gotten, and buy some spirit pills to solve his urgent needs. Thinking about it, those elixirs must be expensive, and in a place like Bai Yujing, where there are many people coming and going and trading frequently, his high-grade fire spirit stone should also be spent!
More than 20 days later, Zhou Moyang Imperial Sword came to the outside of the White Jade Capital City, fell to the ground, and walked towards the West Gate. Revisiting the old place, it is still a huge city gate with a height of three zhang and a width of four zhang, and there are four monks standing at the gate of the city for a hundred years, and when each monk enters the city, he will instruct a sentence "Fellow Daoists, please read the rules of Bai Yujing before entering the city", and then point to the huge white marble stele standing at the gate of the city.
After entering the city, he found an inn to live in, and asked the guy about the location of the auction hall in the city and the date of the auction, and Zhou Moyang went back to his room to rest. This auction hall is located in the heart of the city and is easy to find. The auction hall holds an auction also known as the treasure competition, which is held once a month, and only monks who have built a foundation or above can enter, and I heard that there will always be many Jindan monks participating in the treasure competition. There are still four days left before the next treasure competition, and Zhou Moyang is not in a hurry, except for going out on the second day, after trading the two medium-grade spirit weapon flying swords at a lower price, he returned to the inn with the one hundred and sixty medium-grade spirit stones in exchange, and waited quietly in the inn for a few days.
Early in the morning of the fourth day, Zhou Moyang walked out of the inn and raised his hand to summon a carriage that kept circling around the city every auction day, which was provided by the Four Seas Merchant House, and specially pulled the monk to the auction house. The business of these four seas commercial banks is very well done, and even the substitute travel has been thought of for others. "To the Four Seas Auction House!" Zhou Moyang gave a faint order to the coachman. When the coachman heard this, he said yes, and immediately drove the horses in front of the carriage to gallop.
In the car, Zhou Moyang curiously asked the driver a lot about the auction and learned a lot of things. For example, each monk who participated in the auction would be given a veiled hat that would shield his face from the prying eyes of others. For example, the more it is auctioned in the future, the more real high-quality products and so on; Zhou Moyang's heart moved when he heard this, and it seemed that his worries had been solved.
After the carriage had galloped for a long time, it turned around and came to a wide and unusually wide street. On this street, there were suddenly more carriages, and there were many monks on both sides of the street who were not weak at first sight, and they rushed in the same direction with their big sleeves fluttering. Eventually, near the end of the street, the carriage came to an abrupt halt, along with dozens of other carriages.
Zhou Moyang stepped out of the carriage and swept his gaze around. I saw that in front of me, a huge square building appeared, about ten zhang high, nearly 100 zhang long and wide. And at the top of the building, there is a yellow ring with a diameter of several zhang, which seems to be gold but not gold, like wood but not wood, and it is not clear what material it is made of, but when it turns slowly, it actually emits a cold light, covering the entire hall in it.
Around this hall, there was a circle of late-stage Qi training guard monks holding halberds and wearing black armor, watching the visitors vigilantly. There are three entrances to the main hall, one large and two small, and each entrance is guarded by four blue-shirted monks in the middle and late stages. At this time, among the three entrances, the largest main entrance, there are not many people walking in. On the contrary, there are two smaller entrances next to it, going in and out, and it looks very lively.
"Jiang Daoyou, I have some things in my hand that I plan to sell in the side hall first, so that I can get together some more spirit stones. I wonder if Brother Jiang also plans to go over and have a look? When Zhou Moyang was looking out of his trance, he suddenly heard two monks passing by him, talking in a low voice. Why, is there any trading place in the side hall? Isn't there an auction here? Zhou Moyang was a little surprised when he heard this.
I found a blue-shirted monk stationed at the gate of the side hall, and after inquiring, I learned that since I wanted to bid for something, I would definitely need a large number of spirit stones. And many monks like to take out some rare materials accumulated in their hands before the auction is held, and exchange them for spirit stones. Therefore, before each auction, a period of time will be set aside for some Taoist friends to trade with each other first, or in exchange for spirit stones, or in exchange for other required items. If you really can't sell what you have, you can also sell it directly to the auction hall, and they will buy it. But the price must be a little lower than the normal price. But there is an advantage, that is, with the support of the Four Seas Commercial Bank, no matter how rare things are, there will be no shortage of spirit stones to buy. The side halls on both sides of the main hall are used for this purpose, one is dedicated to the purchase of goods, and the other is dedicated to the sale of goods.
Zhou Moyang thought for a moment after hearing this, then turned around and walked towards the entrance of the main hall. The four blue-robed monks guarding at the entrance only swept their eyes on Zhou Moyang, and let him in without the slightest interrogation. Zhou Moyang walked in for a stick of incense, but before he reached the main hall, he realized that he had been walking in the passage for a little too long. After walking for a while, he found that the exit with a faint white light in front of him still didn't seem to be close at all after walking for so long.
Zhou Moyang's face showed a hint of surprise at this time. "Space Technique!" He muttered to himself with a solemn expression. This auction hall also has a certain amount of space magic. "I see. No wonder the ring at the top of the building looks so weird. Zhou Moyang showed a thoughtful expression. Although this entrance requires a little more walking due to the influence of space, it is not really that long. He walked for a few moments, when the exit in front of him flashed, and the distance between him and him narrowed closer. Zhou Moyang easily walked out of the entrance and came to a large and unusually large hall. The space inside the main hall is more than three times that seen from the outside, enough to accommodate thousands of people, which is more than enough. At this time, the hall is very lively, and people come and go like a downtown block.
Around the hall, one after another semi-circular light curtains were densely arranged, and many monks entered and exited from these light curtains. In the center of the hall, however, there was a white jade platform with an ordinary wooden table on it, and there were two young men in Tsing Yi with clear eyebrows, who were introducing something to the monks in front of the table. Zhou Moyang looked at it intently, his eyes flickered a few times, and only after a while did he walk towards the jade platform in the center. After a while, he walked to the platform.
At this time, several more people came to the front of the stage. At this moment, Zhou Moyang finally saw it clearly. The monks in front of the stage were begging for hats of different colors with black gauze from two young men in Tsing Yi with clear eyebrows. Zhou Moyang's eyes followed one of them closely, and after finding that the person walked to the edge of the hall and was no, he put his hat on his head, and a layer of light curtain immediately emerged, completely concealing his face. Zhou Moyang probed with his divine thoughts, and as soon as the divine thoughts touched the light curtain, he was blocked by a layer of prohibition, and he could not quietly immerse himself in it. Obviously, these light curtains are specially used to allow the hall monks to hide their identities. In this way, you don't have to worry about your face being seen by others. Zhou Moyang also asked the little servant for one, put the hat on his head, and then with a soft "bang", a layer of light curtain emerged, completely covering his face in it, Zhou Moyang's face became blurry and abnormal, and his breath became faint, extremely faint.
After Zhou Moyang swept around, he saw that everywhere he looked, there was a flickering light curtain. And farther away from the hall where he was, there were several smaller halls, occupying them, seemingly with the same bustle. Zhou Moyang let out a long breath and immediately shook his head. Even if there is a treasure, so many people trying to find a suitable buyer is definitely like looking for a needle in a haystack, and he will not waste too much time here.
