Chapter 310: The First Lot
The auction venue in Meicheng is next door to the Jianbao Building, which in fact is itself an outbuilding of the Jianbao Building.
As soon as Fang Zhen and Jin Mu entered the venue, they saw Shang Zhen waving to the two of them, and after the two walked over, Shang Zhen smiled and said, "Big brother asked me to wait for you here, let's go, go to our private room, so that you don't have to cover your face!"
As she spoke, she also gestured with her gaze to the guests in ordinary positions.
Fang Zhen followed Shang Zhen's gaze and found that many guests had arrived first, but each of them was wearing a wide black cloak, covering only the mouth, nose and eyes.
At the entrance of the auction room, there is a special person to distribute these disguised outfits to the guests who do not have private rooms, and each person will also receive a marked signal crystal.
This kind of spar is a special product processed from metacrystalline powder, and after being input into the real element, it will remotely activate the terminal signal in another place.
In this way, you can bid very safely, which can not only protect the identity of all buyers, avoid the hysterical direct bidding, but also avoid some people competing for real fire at the auction, not only causing the lot to be sold or even robbing afterwards.
The Hundred Refining Sect pays attention to harmony and wealth, and they will ensure the safety of every buyer, which is also an important reason why their business is getting bigger and bigger.
Doing business with the Hundred Refining Sect basically doesn't have to worry about the other party cheating you.
Of course, everyone knows that when the value of an item is too high, then everything is uncertain.
The structure of the auction hall is like a theater, with 100 ordinary seats on the lower floor, and private rooms on the middle and upper floors.
Although the identity of the person in the box is relatively transparent, what is transparent is who the person who came to participate in the auction is just who it is, and the Hundred Refining Sect will not tell anyone the winner of the final lot.
After the items are auctioned, only the person who presides over the auction knows who has won what, and then they send someone to hand over the items to these guests, and the whole process is highly confidential.
The slogan of the Hundred Refining Sect is that even if the news leaks, it will definitely not be leaked out by the Hundred Refining Sect.
Although this is somewhat arrogant, the Hundred Refining Sect has indeed done it over the years.
"Come with us, it's not as noisy in our box as here!"
Shang Zhen smiled at Fang Zhen and blinked her star eyes, since this girl knew that even her second brother was not Fang Zhen's opponent, she became more and more nymphomaniac.
Fang Zhen did not shirk the kindness of the merchant's brothers and sisters, and entered the top box with Jin Mu.
The box is huge, at least a 100-square-meter room, and there is a bar counter with drinks and snacks in the corner.
At the front of the room was a one-way visible crystal refined by a refiner, in front of which were two rows of large, soft single chairs, covered with precious animal skin upholstery.
The floor of the room was covered with a carpet made of precious furs and herbs, and one walked on it without making a sound.
Shang Lu sat on one of the big chairs, turned his head when he heard the movement behind him, and smiled when he saw that it was Fang Zhen coming in, and said: "Senior Brother Fang, come on, I have left Qing'er's relationship to get to such a good private room, come on, let's take two sips first, there is frost and snow wine prepared here, but our Hundred Refining Sect is famous for the best, I usually can't drink it!"
Fang Zhen raised his eyebrows and said, "Senior Brother Shang, the purpose of you going to one of the top private rooms is actually the Frost Snow Bar?"
Shang Lu let out a hearty laugh and said, "Brother Fang Xian, who knows me, come on, don't be polite!"
Fang Zhen was not polite, and stepped forward to sit on the other side of Shang Lu generously.
Shang He and Shang Zhen both sat in the second row, Jin Mu also consciously sat in the second row, and there were only Shang Lu, Fang Zhen and Shui Manqing in the first row.
A beautiful maid dressed in blue stepped forward to deliver the so-called best frost and snow wine to Fang Zhen, and then silently retreated to the bar in the corner.
Fang Zhen's subconscious gaze stayed on the other party for a moment, this maid who can stay here must be someone who has won the trust of the merchant's brothers and sisters.
Sure enough, Shui Manqing's voice sounded softly on the side, and said, "Senior Brother Fang don't have to worry about Qin Xin, she and I grew up together since childhood, and we are like sisters!"
Only then did Fang Zhen know that the maid was Shui Manqing's personal maid.
"The personal maid of the Psychic Realm, only a super sect like the Hundred Refining Sect can afford to use it!" Fang Zhen smiled bitterly in his heart.
As he spoke, a light suddenly came through the crystal cover.
A light shot out from the position of the auction hall like a stage, shining on an old man's body.
Exactly Woody.
"Oh, is it Elder Wu himself presiding over this time, it seems that the things to be auctioned this time are really quite important, otherwise it would be ......" Shang Lu said and glanced at Fang Zhen, revealing a playful smile.
"Welcome to all the distinguished guests, the identity of the old man wants to be known to many people, but the old man should introduce himself, the old man's name is Woody, and he is the executive elder of the Hundred Refining Sect Jianbao Gate, and he is also the host of today's auction, I think everyone knows the rules of our Hundred Refining Sect auction, so the old man will not talk nonsense, I hope that every VIP present can return satisfied. ”
It's quite polite to say such an opening statement as Woody.
There was silence in the audience, no one would speak casually at such a time, and it would be troublesome for people to know their identity.
Many of the auctions of the Hundred Refining Sect are even black products, this store does not care about the origin of the items, with the status of the Hundred Refining Sect in the North Continent and even the entire Five Continents, they are not afraid of buying and selling black products.
In fact, the reason why there is such a mysterious identity hiding arrangement is also on these black products.
Because at least half of the people present are coming for the black products, and even some forces will confuse outsiders through multiple commissions, making people completely unaware of who has captured what.
"Next, we have the first auction today, this is a piece of black steel, I think everyone knows the value of black steel, it can be said that it is the most important refining material for Xuanjie and Huangjie spiritual weapons, although it is not too precious, but it is definitely a good object that can be taken to our auction house, especially this piece of black steel weighs 640 kilograms, with the old man's many years of experience, it is rare to see such a large piece of black steel, so the first lot, black steel! Its base price is 20,000 gold coins, or the same value of Yuan Crystal, and the minimum price increase is 100 gold coins each time!"
Fang Zhen looked at the signal crystal in his hand, as long as he entered a unit of real yuan into it, even if he added a low price, there was no upper limit for input, obviously it was not for nothing that he really wanted to directly open a hundred times the reserve price.
