Volume 2 - Datong College Chapter 40: Auction House

After Longyan Xuefeng came back from the woods, the first place he went to was the vegetable market, first bought two catties of quail eggs with a few copper plates, and then went to the pharmacy to buy some herbs unique to this mainland village, spending a total of ten taels of silver. Then I went to the jewelry store and spent two spirit stones to buy some fine mutton fat jade, which is the raw ore that has not undergone any processing.

Xiao Yan was deeply puzzled by this, and bought quail eggs and medicinal herbs, knowing that Longyan Xuefeng was going to make his "Huiling Quail Eggs". But he didn't know about spending such a large price to buy some mutton fat white jade. Although Xiao Yan didn't care about money, a spirit stone was equivalent to one hundred taels of gold, which was equivalent to one thousand taels of silver.

To this question, Long Yan Xuefeng just replied with a smile: "They messed up my plan, why don't you have to pay for the ticket", and then returned to the inn.

Ducheng inn, dimly lit in a small room.

Long Yan Xuefeng withdrew his spiritual power and spiritual power, and looked at the quail eggs that fell from mid-air, reddish-brown water masses into the bowl, and he showed a satisfied smile.

Then he took out the mutton fat jade ore that he had prepared in advance and only had some preliminary polishing, and injected some water-attribute spiritual power, and the milky white jade, which was originally a little dull, looked dazzling against the backdrop of water-attribute spiritual power, which made people's hearts calm down.

I saw a cold light in his eyes, his fingertips condensed ice blades of different thicknesses and sizes, and he took a deep breath and his fingers drifted dreamily on the mutton fat jade ore, just like a ballet dancer dancing on the turquoise stage, the speed was dizzying, and if the ear was good, he could hear the fine sizzling sound.

After a moment, he let out a long breath, wiped the sweat on his head, and looked at the mutton fat jade ore that had not changed much from the beginning:

"Alas, it's still not as good as my father, people can do it with one idea, how can a rookie like me have to carve for so long."

"You can be content, this is already very good, even if my cultivation is higher than yours, I can't compare with you in this regard." Xiao Yan said sincerely.

Longyan Xuefeng bent down, took a deep breath, and gently blew towards the mutton fat jade raw ore in front of him, countless small milky white powders flew away, and after a while, ten small and exquisite, the small jade box carved with dragons and phoenixes was presented in front of him, and it also exuded a faint cold air.

Longyan Xuefeng opened the lids of these boxes, and square mutton fat jade squares fell out.

This is not an exaggeration, spiritual power can penetrate any matter. If the spiritual power is strong to a certain extent, it can do a lot of things out of thin air, which is why he said: Long Yanshi can be carved with one thought. And he was only short-lived just now, and he used his mental power to hollow out the inside, which was already exhausting enough for him to choke.

If everything Longyan Xuefeng did just now was seen by a master carver, it was estimated that even his eyeballs would fall out.

That's the real magic workmanship: without any tools, without any calculations and measurements, his spiritual power is the best scale, and his water attribute spiritual power is his best tool. This is also the terrible thing about "Ten Thousand Ways to One", which is to accommodate and ten thousand ways in one, and then use spiritual power to exert them to the extreme.

Long Yan Xuefeng first picked up two quail eggs, removed the shells, and finally put them in the small box.

Xiao Yan couldn't help but say: "You kid isn't such a loser, as long as you don't pass the shell of your quail egg, there will be no problem at all for three or five months, why do you bother to use mutton fat jade to pretend?"

Long Yan Xuefeng replied with a smile in his heart: "Anyway, it is going to be auctioned, if it is not sold, it will be made a little more exquisite, how can it show its preciousness? If it is the original appearance, it is estimated that some people will disdain it, although the effect is amazing, but in this kind of box, the price can at least double." In this year, people are still judged by their appearance.

"So you're trying to sell. ”

"Don't you see it yet? As the number of mercenaries gradually increases, and the flower picking maniac attacks at night, they hold an auction just to sell some equipment and make money. The wealth of the adventurous mercenary group is not comparable to that of ordinary mercenary groups. ”

"How do you know that?"

"When I was in the cave this morning, I read the memories that Cheng Song left in the memory burning gem, so my understanding of the mainland now is no longer the rookie I started with." He smiled smugly

"You are a real thief, just like you, I don't know who will dare to marry you in the future."

Long Yan Xuefeng nodded seriously and said in his heart:

"Yes, this is really not good, it's weird and tiring, after this matter is resolved, find a place to improve your cultivation first."

"I'm not talking about this, I'm saying that you are wary of others everywhere, calculating who else wants to be friends with you? I guess few people dare, maybe one day you will sell them if you are unhappy."

Long Yan Xuefeng smiled slightly and said buddy, thank you for reminding me I can only say:

"Those who are sincere deal with it sincerely, and those who are hypocritical coax it."

"What do you mean by coaxing?"

Long Yan Xuefeng said: "Dad said that in the face of people you hate, sometimes you don't necessarily have to use violence to solve the problem, but to coax and satisfy them mentally, so that you don't have to do it yourself, and you can save yourself a lot of trouble, if he is looking for trouble with you, then you don't have to be polite."

"I don't understand".

"Follow me to see and learn more and understand, but I didn't understand it at first. We should also eat something and go to the auction house, then you should take it."

"Don't you cook yourself? I'm not in the mood for time, I'll treat you to another day."

After a brief lunch, Longyan Xuefeng came to the gate of the auction hall, which is a classical three-story attic, with a grand scale and majestic atmosphere, which is extremely easy to attract people's attention.

Through Cheng Song's memory, he knew that the auction house here was only a branch of their headquarters, the Tianqian Empire, because of its financial resources and power, there were their auction houses in some large capitals of each principality, and there were also their auction houses in the capitals of some dynasties, and they also bought all kinds of treasures, elixirs.

Because there are many branches, there is also its own intelligence network.,It's an out-and-out big guy.。

In order not to attract attention, he already wore a mask on the way here.

As soon as he entered the door, he was stopped by two young girls, and the two of them smiled at him and said:

"I'm sorry for this guest, our auction house is preparing for a big auction in two hours, please come back later."

Long Yan Xuefeng looked at the two polite girls, and his good impression of the auction house increased a little, and he thought to himself: "No wonder there is such a large scale, from the quality of the personnel, it can be seen that they are unique in management and operation, in such a small place they can treat each other politely, this is not easy."

"The two girls are here to sell something, I believe you will be interested."

Hearing Longyan Xuefeng's comfortable voice, the two couldn't help but be stunned, but their years of professional habits still made them recover immediately.

The girl continued:

"That's okay, if you're not in a hurry, your stuff will be auctioned in half a month, after all, this place is too small to be like those big capitals: please understand that the auction will be held every day."

"Shall I go in and talk to your shop?"

The girl shook her head, smiled and said:

"Nope"

Looking at the two girls with a professional smile on their faces, Long Yan Xuefeng suddenly felt a little helpless, where did he understand that he had been for half a month! It seems that I remembered some secret way that I was confused, and what did I have to do here to stand here.

Long Yan Xuefeng took out a card.

"This is my spiritual post, can I go in now?"

Through Cheng Song's memory, Longyan Xuefeng learned that the spirit post is not only his own identity certificate, but also has some benefits, such as: you can enter the city without paying any taxes, and you can enjoy preferential prices for buying various items, which is also a manifestation of identity.

The two women were stunned for a moment, after all, there were very few cultivators who had spiritual posts in such a small place, and most of them went to those principalities.

"Wait a minute, let's go and inform the boss. ”

Long Yan Xuefeng was not in a hurry and looked around, and after a while, a middle-aged man in a pale golden robe walked out, followed by the two girls.

The middle-aged man took a closer look at Longyan Xuefeng, giving him a delicate and elegant feeling, how could he not see the extraordinaryness of Longyan Xuefeng after reading countless people? He didn't mind that Longyan Xuefeng was wearing a mask, and he had seen too many guests in their business.

The middle-aged man gave Longyan Xuefeng a different feeling, although his appearance was ordinary, it gave him a sense of heaviness, and more importantly, Longyan Xuefeng couldn't see through this person's behavior, and he was not an ordinary person. This made Longyan Xuefeng more interested in this all-inclusive auction house.

The middle-aged man glanced at the spirit post in Long Yan Xuefeng's hand, and with his many years of experience, he could naturally distinguish the authenticity at a glance, not to mention that the spirit post had the owner's blood as a guide, if it was fraudulently used, the aura emitted would not be consistent.

"Fellow Daoists, please forgive me for not understanding the rules under Gu Heng,"

Long Yan Xuefeng sighed secretly in his heart: "No wonder it can become a big climate, whether you recognize it or not, you will give enough face first, how can it be like those I met yesterday, I bought two catties of quail eggs, and the shopkeeper looked at me with great contempt." ”

Long Yan Xuefeng waved his hand and said:

"Where is it, Daoyou is humble, whether it is an employee or a boss in your auction house, the quality is first-class, why is it rude."

Gu Heng laughed and said:

"Customer first, is our service tenet, we just do our job, this is not the place to talk, you want to sell something, right? Then go up to the second floor to talk in detail, I will personally receive it."

The two girls were slightly startled, they knew that even if this boss was in the Principality Empire, the people who could let him receive him in person were all prominent people, if it wasn't for the sake of hiding this time, how could he come to this kind of place.
