Chapter Eighty-Three: The Underground Auction
(Something happened today, the update was two hours late, say sorry, and continue to ask for recommendation votes ^_^ by the way)
Looking at the old naughty boy's child-like impatient expression, Lin Feng couldn't help but laugh a little, but in his heart, it seemed that a big stone had finally landed.
"So, our deal is considered a success, right?" Lin Feng said with a smile. "When can you give me the herbs I want?"
"Wait, Lin Feng, my old man is not easy to deceive, hehe, I have been mixed in Yanjing for so many years, but I am famous for not seeing rabbits and not scattering eagles, if I want to make a deal with you with all my heart, I must first come up with evidence that reassures me." Seeing that Lin Feng put forward the conditions, the old naughty boy pursed his lips and said unrelentingly.
"Dead Old Man%......"
Lin Feng held his forehead with a headache and said impatiently:
"My patience has a limit, if I have something to say, I can say it quickly, and if I have a fart......
"You promised!" The old urchin shouted in surprise and delight.
"Tell me what you need me to do." Looking at the expectant old man, Lin Feng did not relax his vigilance at all, and said coldly.
"It's very simple, you said that you can refine the poison pill, but without the most critical Qingcheng Immortal Vine, refining the poison pill is just a fool's dream. As long as you can find that Qingcheng Immortal Vine, I am willing to make a deal with you, if you can't get it, hehe...... Then don't blame my old man for not being righteous. The old urchin said unreasonably.
"Damn! Do you really think this kind of thing is as bad as cabbage!? You think I can get something you can't get it so easily? Seeing the old urchin's almost vexatious request, Lin Feng couldn't help but scold.
"Don't swear. Although, with my ability, I can't get this Qingcheng Immortal Vine, but I may know where to get it. Someone happened to tell me that he had seen this treasure at an auction in Yanjing. Seeing that Lin Feng was angry, the old naughty boy hurriedly said cautiously.
"Oh? Auctions? Lin Feng raised his eyebrows and said with interest. He wondered what kind of auction would be able to auction such a strange thing.
"Hehe, have you ever heard of the Yanjing underground auction?" The old urchin laughed.
"Underground auctions?" Lin Feng frowned.
"Well, it's an underground auction. A rare medicinal material like Qingcheng Immortal Vine is impossible to obtain through formal means. After thinking about it, in the whole of Yanjing, I'm afraid that only underground auctions can do it. The old naughty boy said seriously.
"Underground auctions? Anyway, since it is an auction, as long as the price is high enough, it can naturally be grabbed. Lin Feng frowned and said.
"You think too simply, the underground auction is not an ordinary auction, the highest bidder wins, the Galaxy auction does not accept cash transactions at all, the auction method is the most primitive and simplest barter. Whoever can come up with the most favorite thing for the organizer will be able to win the bid the most. Seeing Lin Feng's impatient appearance, the old naughty boy shook his head and said.
"And this kind of auction?" Lin Feng said in amazement.
"Of course. In the beginning, this was a kind of auction held by a small number of wealthy people in Yanjing limited to the rich circle, used to exchange valuable and valuable things, and later, it gradually evolved into a large-scale underground transaction, and the things traded at the auction are often extremely rare natural treasures, rare treasures, and the people who can participate in the auction are by no means ordinary people.
"I don't know who the organizers of the underground auction are, and I don't need to know them, but they are very powerful people, and they have countless treasures for you to choose from. They send out invitations to the auction every three years to ensure that the items auctioned at the auction are of high quality. In addition to these 100 high-level invitations, others who want to participate must pay extremely high fees to buy ordinary invitations, which can not participate in the bidding of really valuable things, most of them can only watch the bidding of those high-ranking people in the audience, even so, the nouveau riche in Yanjing are still happy to this auction, and they are proud to be able to see the grand occasion of the auction. The price of an ordinary invitation can be very high. Moreover, there are so many strange things to be auctioned at auction, maybe, there will be something you need......"
The old naughty boy spat and recounted, and it seemed that he also had a lot of respect for this so-called galactic auction.
"Well, it does seem interesting."
Lin Feng groaned. Obviously, this auction also made Delin Feng very excited.
"And where do I get this invitation?" Lin Feng asked.
"I'm afraid it's too late for you to buy it now. Because, the next auction is the day after tomorrow, and according to the usual practice, the invitations have long been sold out. The old urchin laughed.
"Snapped up? Then you're still laughing at P! ”
Knowing that the invitation was gone, Lin Feng was also a little disappointed, rolled his eyes, and scolded angrily.
"Hmph, look, what is this?"
The old urchin took out a golden card from his sleeve and shook it in front of Lin Feng's eyes. Lin Feng looked at it, and several eye-catching big characters on the card appeared in front of Lin Feng's eyes:
"Galaxy Auction, VIP Ticket!"
"It's ...... Premium invitations? Lin Feng said in amazement.
"Congratulations, you got it right. My old man is quite influential in Yanjing, so I also got this high-level invitation, which I have been saving for the past few years, and I am not willing to use it, give it to you, you can use it, I hope you can come up with something valuable and win the favor of the organizers......" The old naughty boy glanced at the card in his hand and said with some reluctance.
"Cut, bring it."
Lin Feng unceremoniously snatched the card that the old naughty boy regarded as the root of his life, flipped it in his hand, and asked:
"Old man, what kind of things do you like in general?"
"Well. They are not short of natural treasures, rare curios, so generally speaking, some long-lost exercise cheats, ancient medicine remedies, and various pills are the things they prefer, and they are also the most sought-after things at auction. Of course, I believe that with your means, you will not lack these things......" The old urchin smiled flatteringly.
"Hehe, you won't have investigated me too." Looking at the old urchin's flattering expression, Lin Feng sneered.
"Uh, this ......," the old urchin scratched his head embarrassedly.
Lin Feng snorted coldly and said no more. With Lin Feng's degree of mystery, it would be false to say that he was not interested, but Lin Feng didn't care that the old urchin would investigate him. Jiu Tianfeng has investigated for so long and hasn't figured out the details of Lin Feng, it is impossible for the old naughty boy to grasp any clues, I'm afraid he is still confused now......
"Your kid's luck is good, the night after tomorrow, it will be the grand opening of the triennial auction, you should prepare well, you must return with a full load!" The old urchin smiled expectantly.
"Hmph, it's your old boy's luck. With your current physical condition, if I don't save you, you will live for another year at most, and there is no need to wait for another three years. Lin Feng put the card in his pocket, gave the old naughty boy a blank look, and said unceremoniously.
"Yes, yes."
The old naughty boy, a former martial arts master, faced the young man who held his life in his hands, and he had to swallow his anger and keep laughing. If someone else had spoken to him so unceremoniously, he would have slapped him a long time ago.
"How should I use this card?" Lin Feng suddenly remembered something and hurriedly asked.
"Hehe, it's easy to use. You just find a phone booth, put this card into the card slot of the phone, then press eight 8s in a row on the dial pad, and wait where you are, and in less than three minutes, someone will come to you and take you to the underground auction! The old urchin laughed.
"Really? I don't believe there is such a god. Lin Feng raised his eyebrows and said in disbelief.
"Hehe, there's a phone booth outside the store, if you don't believe it, try it yourself." The old naughty boy encouraged.
"Hmph."
Lin Feng gave the old urchin a blank look, strode out of the pharmacy, found a phone booth and walked in. Looking at Lin Feng with an unbelieving face, a smug smile rose on the corner of the old urchin's mouth, leaning against the door, as if waiting to watch a wonderful show......
