Chapter 11: An Interesting Auction (1)
The auction building, located in the bustling area of the center of Cangming City, is also the center of the auction house, and most of the people who can enter the center are rich and powerful.
And no one knows the forces behind the auction hall, only that even the Cangming City Lord does not dare to provoke, let alone the people who live here, so regardless of the outer and inner perimeters, they must come according to the rules of the auction hall, on foot or in a carriage, and must not walk in the air, otherwise they will not be allowed to enter the auction hall forever, or they will be killed.
However, there are exceptions to everything, if someone spends more than one million spirit stones in the auction house, they will get a preferential card, the card holder can fly in the sky, the card also has a level, the white card can bring three people, the gold card can bring ten people, and the purple card, you can bring twenty people, as for the higher card, the auction house has not announced, and the more you spend, the higher the level of the card, and the greater the authority and discount in the auction house.
The Great Elder has a white card, and took Meng Chen and the three of them to walk in the auction hall, no one stopped him at all, Meng Chen looked down at the scene below, and was amazed, the streets and alleys, people came and went, there was a lot of traffic, and all kinds of projects were available, such as the casino area, the fighting area, the entertainment area, etc., which were not inferior to similar projects on the earth.
However, at this time, eight people flew from the south, and the direction was the auction building, not far from Meng Chen and the others, Meng Chen looked over and found that the people led by the two teams were the Lei family patriarch and the Xu family patriarch, and the juniors and elders were behind.
"Yo~ Even the Great Elder of the Meng Family is here, it seems that this auction is a bit interesting. The Lei family patriarch put his hands behind his back, turned his head and saw the Great Elder, slightly surprised.
"Hmm...... It seems that the Meng family attaches great importance to the finale axis this time. The Xu family patriarch nodded in response.
"Huh...... So what, our two families join forces, are we still afraid that one of the Meng family will not succeed, and recently I heard that the Meng family has postponed the marriage with the Lie family, and the opportunity for the dead fish to turn over, don't they pay attention to it at all?"
"That's what I'm thinking about too. The patriarch of the Xu family touched it, his brows furrowed slightly, and he responded while thinking.
"The matter...... There must be something strange, and I have no choice but to do it. The Lei family patriarch's face also became cautious.
As a group of people landed one after another to buy a house, entering the interior, the Great Elder and the others, under the leadership of the guide, soon came to a small house, Meng Chen followed the Great Elder to the balcony, and found that this auction hall was very spectacular.
"Hey, when is it going to start! I can't wait. A strong man sitting next to him, I don't know how long he waited, saw him put down his glass and shouted at the platform where he was lowered.
"That's it...... I've been waiting almost an hour."
"Alas~ Me too. ”
......
As soon as this voice came out, the people below responded in parts, and the woman standing in the middle of the platform showed a faint smile, twisted her graceful body, first saluted the people around her, and then clapped her hands, and the clear and beautiful voice sounded.
"The hour has come, and the auction has begun. ”
The long-awaited auction finally began, and the people around instantly cheered enthusiastically.
The woman stopped talking nonsense, directly touched the storage ring in her index finger, and flew out a silver long sword in her hand, "This sword is called Fengfeng, and the sword body is made of the horns of the mid-grade peak one-horned wolf king, which is not only extremely strong, but also sharpens iron like mud, and the price starts at a thousand spirit stones!"
"What! a thousand starts!" said one man, stunned.
When the thin man next to him saw him like this, he sneered again and again, clasped his hands on his chest and said arrogantly: "I will give out 1,000 and 5 spirit stones."
"I'll give out two thousand spirit stones. The other side shouted loudly.
"This girl is out of three thousand," said a mediocre-looking woman standing up.
As soon as the three thousand spirit stones came out, the people around them fell silent, because this sword was not worth the price, and everyone didn't want to add any more.
The host woman saw that everyone was no longer chasing the price, so she confirmed with the people around her whether to increase the price again, and no one made a sound after ten breaths, so she struck the palm-sized hanging bell with a wooden hammer, and with a bang, it indicated that the deal had been sold.
Meng Chen looked at it once, and didn't look down anymore, he shifted his attention to the opposite side, and a pair of eyes on the opposite side also happened to look over, the two eyes were opposite, Meng Chen showed a faint smile, the woman was stunned for a moment, and after reacting, she immediately looked away, lowered her head, and her face was faintly flushed.
The patriarch of the Xu family noticed that his daughter was abnormal, and asked puzzledly, "Xiangling, what's wrong with you?"
She shook her head, then glanced at Meng Chen, who was still looking over, blushed again and bowed her head silently, the Xu family patriarch looked over puzzled, only to find that there was a squinting kid staring at his daughter on the other side, which made him feel unbearable to be a father.
"Hey, the stinky boy of the Meng family, look at my daughter again, believe it or not, Lao Tzu will go over and gouge out your eyes now. The patriarch of the Xu family stood up, pointed at Meng Chen and shouted.
Meng Chen immediately withdrew his gaze and smiled awkwardly.
The Great Elder and the Patriarch, as well as Meng Shen, all looked at Meng Chen, Meng Chen touched his nose in embarrassment, and the Great Elder smiled lightly, "Do you want the old man to help you propose?"
"Hehe~ That's not necessary. Meng Chen said.
"Hmph, are you worthy?" Meng Shen glanced at Meng Chen and said sarcastically.
Meng Chen sneered, "The dog is nosy with the mouse." ”
"You...... You have a kind of repeat" Hearing this, Meng Shenqi's seven orifices smoked, turned around and his body's spiritual power fluctuated, threatening.
Meng Chen frowned, turned to face Meng Shen, who was full of coldness, and said, "If you let me say it, I'll say it, who do you think you are?"
"You...... Give me death. Meng Shenqi's eyes were red, this court was insulted by an ant, how could his proud heart endure it, but when he was about to do it, he was caught by the patriarch.
The Great Elder sighed in disappointment and said, "Alas~ Meng Shen, after going out to cultivate for so long, his heart is still so impulsive, how can he achieve great things in the future!"
"I ......" Meng Shen was speechless and lowered his head slightly.
The Great Elder tasted the tea in his hand and said again, "Do you know why the old man asked you to change your name to Meng Shen?"
"Meng Shen has always known that you want Meng Shen to change his impulsive personality and turn it into a thoughtful appearance,"
"Oh...... Naturally, you know, why do you still look like you are not angry after so many years?" the Great Elder stopped the teacup on his lips and turned his head to look at Meng Shen.
Meng Shen bowed his head and was silent, and after three breaths of silence, he admitted his mistake and said, "Meng Shen knows his mistakes, and from now on, he will never be impulsive again." ”
The Great Elder shook his head, "It's just a perfunctory old man, you naturally say to start, then start with an apology." ”
"I ...... This ......" Meng Shen's face was extremely embarrassed, his hands clenched into fists, and he hesitated.
Meng Chen looked at him expressionlessly, and after five breaths, he still didn't apologize, Meng Chen stood back in his position, glanced at him, the Great Elder sighed, didn't say anything, and continued to watch the auction below.
Meng Shen lowered his head gloomily, gritted his teeth, snorted coldly and turned his head and walked outside, leaving here without a face, the patriarch wanted to persuade him to come back, but was stopped by the great elder.
"Let him reflect on himself. ”
"Okay. The patriarch reluctantly withdrew his gaze, and also returned to the Great Elder's side, his eyes looked at Meng Shen and the Great Elder from time to time, and felt that the Great Elder had regarded Meng Chen as a personal disciple.
Immediately after the knock~, the auction items below were sold with others.
The Great Elder put down the tea in his hand and began to look down, his interest increasing a lot.
"The finale should be on the line, Meng Chen, the contents of that box are what the old man wants to auction to you. ”
"This ...... Great Elder, that can't be done, it is an earth-attribute spirit pattern technique, which is priceless, how can he take it, not to mention that he doesn't have an earth spirit pattern! If you take it, it's just a tyrannical thing!"
The Great Elder smiled and shook his head, "Did I say he doesn't have an Earth Spirit Pattern?"
When the patriarch heard this, his pupils contracted, and he immediately turned his head to look at Meng Chen, he was deeply shocked, in this world, there are very few people in the realm of quenching the body with spirit patterns, and it can even be said that there is no one in the Netherworld.
And the one who owns it, which one does not become a hegemon of one side?
He now finally knew why the Great Elder was so protective of Meng Chen, it turned out that Meng Chen's talent had surpassed the younger generation of the Meng family, no, two generations, or even more than that! Although his cultivation was low, who could break through the Eightfold Quenching Body in less than a month? In the history of the Meng family, it had never appeared, and now, a living miracle and hope appeared in his eyes, how could he not be excited.
The patriarch strode in front of Meng Chen, without saying a word, he had a bear hug, it happened too suddenly, Meng Chen didn't react, and the strength of the patriarch's arms was so ruthless that Meng Chen felt that his skeleton was about to be crushed, and looked at the great elder with a look of help.
The Great Elder shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Patriarch, if you don't let go, our hope will be ruined in your hands. ”
"What?" Hearing these words, the patriarch immediately let go, and Meng Chen hurriedly took a few steps back, keeping a distance from the patriarch.
"Uh~ haha, haha, I was too excited for a while......" The patriarch scratched his head and smiled embarrassedly.
"Alright, the auction begins. The Great Elder said.
The patriarch became serious, and Meng Chen looked down.
"Presumably, you don't need the little woman to say more, you already know what is in the box, and the little woman doesn't have to bother to talk too much, disturbing everyone's interest, the spirit pattern of the earth, the starting price is 100,000 spirit stones. ”
The "old man 200,000" elder directly opened the sky-high price, and the night dream of the province was long.
As soon as these 200,000 came out, all of them immediately talked about it.
"Brother Xu, it seems that the Great Elder of the Meng Family is really coming for the Earth Spirit Pattern Technique, what do you think should be done next?"
"Huh...... What do you say?" said the Xu family patriarch, then looked at the great elder and said, "I'll give 300,000!"
The Great Elder frowned, but quickly opened his eyebrows easily, "Four hundred thousand"
The patriarch of the Xu family glanced at the patriarch of the Lei family, and the patriarch of the Lei family held back a glance at him, and then said, "I will pay 500,000." ”
As soon as 500,000 came out, it was boiling up and down, for the people below, it was an astronomical amount, 500,000 spirit stones may not be earned by some people in a lifetime, and the great elder looked at the Lei family patriarch with a faint smile, and did not make a sound to chase the price, the Lei family patriarch instantly broke out in a cold sweat on his forehead, which lasted for a minute, the great elder still did not open his mouth to increase the price, the Lei family patriarch looked at the Xu family patriarch for help, but who knew that the Xu family patriarch looked to the other side, pretending not to know, the Lei family patriarch's mood instantly fell to the bottom, feeling that he had been sold, and the 500,000 Lei family would take at least three years to earn it back, and the earth spirit pattern technique was useless to the Lei family, because no one in the Lei family could comprehend the unearthed spirit pattern at all, If you go back and be known by the Great Elder of the Lei Family, you will definitely be scolded.
Immediately after the presiding woman asked who else would increase the price, the head of the Lei family also looked like ashes, but when the third voice was about to be closed, the great elder said lightly: "Five hundred and one thousand"
The Lei family patriarch had just woken up from the nightmare, and he pointed at the Great Elder and shouted, "Don't scare people like this." ”
The Great Elder smiled faintly, "How do you say this?"
The head of the Lei family was so angry that his eyes lit up, he almost fainted on the ground, and turned his head to look at the Xu family, the private room was empty, there was no one for a long time, and he had slipped away.
"Ah! I'm angry, Xu Wangba, wait for me, let's go." "The Lei family patriarch took people and went to chase after the Xu family patriarch angrily.
The Great Elder smiled but said nothing.
Meng Chen finally realized what it means to be a heart!
