Volume 2 Academy Chapter 42 Auction House (1)
The auction house is in the most prosperous area of Aolai City, called the Church Auction House, and the name sounds unpretentious.
But when Lu Yunfei and Bao Lesheng walked in front of the auction hall, they were shocked by the momentum ahead, a palace-like square building sitting in the center of the city, and the golden glazed tiles shone dazzlingly in the sun. Walking into the temple, the walls around are filled with a layer of sacred aura, these walls are all made of marble, the surface is plated with white gold, and the surface is dotted with diamonds, shining like stars, and it looks very gorgeous.
"That's too luxurious, isn't it?" Lu Yunfei couldn't help but sigh.
"You've never seen anything more exaggerated than that, and you want to put all your money on the wall. Bao Lesheng couldn't help but shake his head when he saw Lu Yunfei looking like he had never seen the world.
"As the official auction venue of the Federation, the profits generated by the Treasure Pavilion are very amazing, because most of the monks will come here when they need something, and basically the minimum price of each item is about hundreds of thousands of Federation coins, and there will be some finale treasures every time it is auctioned... I remember one time when a finale item was auctioned for 100 million federal coins. β
Lu Yunfei couldn't help but sigh that the monk really burned money... There are so many things for any single thing, and sure enough, the poorer the poorer, the richer the richer.
Lu Yunfei needed to register the items first, and the registration room was in a room on the left side of the hall, and Bao Lesheng seemed to be very familiar with Lu Yunfei and brought Lu Yunfei over.
Behind a small counter stood a beautiful girl with a slender figure, and in front of her a man in an overcoat seemed to be handing the girl an object for the girl to evaluate.
The girl smiled at Lu Yunfei and Bao Lesheng, and motioned for them to sit aside and wait for a while.
After the girl found the box, she took it to the back and began to check it, and while touching it with her fingers, she reached her nose and seemed to smell the smell of things.
After a while, the girl turned around, put the item in the box, and said, "Hello, after my identification, it is the Golden Wing Bead, which is right. β
A smile appeared on the face of the man in the overcoat, and the Golden Wing Bead was made of a rare Golden Wing Stone, which had a cool texture, and wearing it around would make it easier for the monk to calm down while practicing.
He took it from someone else at a low price, but he didn't expect it to be true, and he couldn't help but be proud when he thought about it.
"Then register me for this auction. β
"Okay, I'll give you an estimate of the starting price of 200,000 federal coins, and if it's okay, I'll help you register. β
The man's eyes rolled at this time, and his throat couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva, and he seemed to be very satisfied with the starting price.
The man's name is Niu Anfu, although he is a monk, but he likes to collect some things that others resell at a low price, and then take them to the auction house to sell them at a high price.
After the handover procedures, Niu Anfu's expression became even more proud, as if his eyes were about to roll up to the sky, and when he passed by Lu Yunfei's side at this time, he glanced at Lu Yunfei in his afterglow and stopped with interest.
"Boy, I advise you not to think about picking up cheap and making a fortune with those rags, and take them here for identification. β
Lu Yunfei didn't care about his condescending tone, but also asked with interest, "What do you say?"
"The minimum fee for appraisal here is 1,000 federal coins, I think you should be quite rare, right?" inadvertently looked Lu Yunfei's clothes up and down.
A plain white T-shirt that couldn't be more plain.
Lu Yunfei couldn't help but be a little speechless, why did someone always talk about what he was wearing, it seemed that after this auction, he was thinking about buying a few unsimple clothes to wear.
At this time, Bao Lesheng on the side said with a smile: "It seems that my brother often auctions things here." β
"That's not it. Niu Anfu triumphantly said, "My vision is good, every time I shoot something, it's a rare thing." β
"So I advise you not to waste your time on theseβbut I can take a look at it for you if I'm in a good mood. He was actually a little curious about what kind of broken things the young man in front of him would take to identify
Lu Yunfei smiled, and then generously took out the red stone from his pocket, not even in the box, and there were some small crumbs on it.
Niu Anfu took it in his hand and squeezed it hard, then looked at it, and threw it back into Lu Yunfei's hand after a while, and said disgustedly, "Isn't this just a broken stone picked up casually by the river, this kind of thing may be a baby when I was a child, how old are you two?"
Niu Anfu was thinking that if Lu Yunfei really took out something rare, he could find a way to persuade him to sell it to him at a low price, but when he saw Lu Yunfei taking it out of his pocket very casually, he didn't seem to be expensive at all, and suddenly felt that it was completely just some slightly beautiful broken stones picked up casually by the river.
Bao Lesheng actually didn't know what Lu Yunfei was going to auction before, he thought to himself that it couldn't really be the broken stone that the mentally handicapped man said, right?
Lu Yunfei smiled and didn't speak, and at this time, the girl standing in front of the cabinet motioned for Lu Yunfei to walk to the counter, and Lu Yunfei walked over with a stone.
"Hello, I'm Tang Yuliu, an appraiser at the Templar Auction House. β
"You know the rules, right? No matter how much it is worth, you have to pay 1,000 appraisals, and for each auction item, the Templar auction house takes a profit of five percent of the auction price. Tang Yuliu smiled politely and said.
"Well, thank you, then please help me identify. Lu Yunfei nodded.
Then Tang Yuliu took a form from the side and handed it to Lu Yunfei, "You now write your personal information and the name of the item to be identified on the form, if you don't know the name, you don't need to fill it in."
At this time, Niu Anfu, who was standing behind, spat disdainfully and said, "Take a broken stone and really treat it as a baby." β
Lu Yunfei truthfully filled in his name and the name of the Strange Red Stone, and then handed it to Tang Yuliu.
Tang Yuliu took it, glanced at the form and said, "Hello, Mr. Lu, the items you need to identify are..." Different.." Tang Yuliu's eyes widened suddenly, a little incredulous, "Strange Red Stone?"
The sound was not loud, but Bao Lesheng and Niu Anfu, who was standing behind and was about to go out, heard it.
Bao Lesheng couldn't believe it
And Niu Anfu laughed: "Isn't this just a broken stone? If it's true, I, Niu Anfu, ate the!"
"I said, boy, do you think you can fool a professional appraiser? You say it's a red stone, it's a red stone, I haven't seen that thing in hundreds of years, right?"
Because it can only be produced from the body of the Bone-Eater Thunderwing Apille, which has not been seen for hundreds of years, the Crimson Stone is too rare.
Bao Lesheng couldn't help but wonder if Lu Yunfei really wanted to identify something he didn't know.
At this time, when Tang Yuliu took the red stone from Lu Yunfei's hand, his expression became serious, and after touching it for a while, he suddenly said, "Mr. Lu, wait a minute, I think I need to ask a more senior appraiser than me to appraise it." β
Lu Yunfei nodded, and then Tang Yuliu turned around and walked towards the back of the counter, and pressed a button on the side of the bookcase in front of a bookcase sitting on the side.
After a while, the bookcase moved to the side, revealing a deeper dark room.
Inside, it was an orderly room with stickers on the walls, a simple room, an ebony table, and then an old man with heavy glasses sat at the table, turning over an extremely heavy book.
"Master, there is an item here that I need you to identify. Tang Yuliu said
"Alas. Liu'er, you can identify most of them yourself, why bother Grandpa Weng and me..."The old man sighed, as if he was a little helpless about his apprentice.
"This thing. . . I'm a little unsure. Tang Yuliu said with some embarrassment, she had only learned about it in books, but the descriptions on the books were not real objects after all, and she was afraid of making mistakes in identification.
Generally, some common items are personally identified by Tang Yuliu, but when it comes to some relatively rare or expensive items, it is necessary for Weng Qingsheng, a legendary auctioneer of the Holy Church, to appraise countless treasures in his life.
Although he was a little helpless, Weng Qingsheng still walked out of the dark room and came to the counter, and when he glanced at the stone in Tang Yuliu's hand, his eyes could no longer move, staring at it.
"It's. . . It's .." Weng Qingsheng seemed to be a little incoherent, and there was a little excitement in his tone.
Weng Qingsheng took the red stone from Tang Yuliu's hand, and immediately kneaded it between his palms..."This texture..."
Then he pointed the red stone against the light on the top, and his eyes looked at the red silk that seemed to be flowing in the red stone.
As if he was afraid that he didn't look carefully enough, Weng Qingsheng pushed the heavy reading glasses, took the red stone closer, and there was a slight spiritual power flowing from his fingers to the red stone in his hand, and at this time, the red stone actually lit up slightly, and the red silk wool in it seemed to be transformed into a color and shape like lightning after the spiritual power was injected, and it was like a slight rotation and flow in the river inside the red stone.
"This... That's right.." Weng Qingsheng became excited, "This is really a strange red stone! It can increase the power of the thunder attribute spirit weapon by about 30%!"
Weng Qingsheng confirmed.
Tang Yuliu knew that although his master was a monk, he was also a scholar through and through, and he was almost proficient in all the treasures of monks.
Only an extremely rare object like a reddish stone would catch the old scholar's eye and make him excited.
And Niu Anfu, who was standing at the exit, had his jaw on the ground... Is this really a red stone? Did this young man casually pick up a strange red stone that no one had seen for hundreds of years?
And Bao Lesheng's face was about to laugh, thinking that it would be better to get down to Lu Yunfei after the auction ended.
"Hey, uncle, what about eating?" Bao Lesheng said with a wicked smile and said to Niu Anfu at the door.
Niu Anfu's face was extremely ugly, although he made a profit by reselling things, but the strange red stone was sold for millions of dollars! So the red stone will be his.
Niu Anfu felt that he had missed an extremely important opportunity, and his bowels were blue.
If it weren't for the Templar Auction House... He even wanted to forcibly snatch the red stone... But he didn't dare, the Federation has very strict restrictions on monks, especially such an auction house, if he dares to make a move, the monks stationed here will immediately detect his killing intentions, and he is a monk of a great martial artist who is estimated to be killed by the monks here before he can make a move.
