About a tea time passed, the door of the private room was opened again, and the original guy with an old man with white hair bypassed the screen and appeared in front of Qi Fei.

Qi Fei sat at the table, slowly smelling the tea, but he didn't take a sip, and when the two of them came in, he nodded slightly to the guy, and then nodded to the old man as a greeting.

The man brought the old man in and retreated, leaving only the two of them in the house. Judging from the old man's clothing, his status in this auction house should not be low, and his qualifications must be very deep, and the guy called him over, and he should be sure to be able to identify his own "bone-washing flower".

The old man didn't say too much nonsense, nor did he ask some questions about Qi Fei's private life, but said directly to the point: "Can this guest give the old man a look at your medicinal herbs." ”

At this moment, there was no question of trust or distrust in Qi Fei's heart, even if he had discovered the mechanism in this room, he still didn't think they dared to do anything to him. Besides, what he took out was just a bone-washing flower, although it was a rare medicinal material, it should not be too unexpectedly attractive, and those people should not offend a foreigner who didn't know about it because of such a medicinal material.

He directly put the bone washing flower on the table, and then pushed it in front of the old man, when the old man saw the medicinal materials, his eyes did change a little, and his expression did fluctuate a little, but the amplitude was not very large, and the duration was not particularly long, just a flash, and then returned to a normal demeanor.

"Looking at the appearance, it is indeed the legendary 'bone washing flower'! But further identification needs to be done. The old man really put forward his own requirements, as a treasure connoisseur, he can not recognize this medicinal herb, but he must not make a mistake in identification.

Qi Fei didn't mind, anyway, this medicinal herb was nothing to him, if he didn't sell it today, it would become a snack for the medicinal spirit tomorrow, besides, it was still a question of whether the picky eater was willing to eat it.

"Old gentleman, please, as long as it doesn't destroy its due value, you can do it with your hands. ”

Seeing that he was so reasonable, the smile on the old gentleman's face deepened a little, and then he calmed down and opened the iron box engraved with "Liujin Fang" on the table.

There are a lot of things in the tin box, strange shapes, all kinds of things, neatly sorted and placed inside. The old man took out a knife from it, and from the outside, the knife should be pure gold, and it looked shiny and extremely sharp. The old man then took out another piece of yellow paper, spread it out on the table, and then put the medicinal herbs on top of the yellow paper.

His movements are extremely skillful, and he is definitely a veteran without thinking about it, especially when cutting medicinal herbs, his wrist is extremely stable, and he has not shaken from beginning to end. He put the small piece of medicinal herb he had cut into his mouth, chewed it slowly, and after a few breaths, nodded with satisfaction and praised, "It's really a good thing." ”

Qi Fei sat next to him, observing the old man's movements, and said in his heart: "Needless to say, can the things made in the Valley of Hundred Flowers be comparable to ordinary medicinal materials!"

The old man put away the tools, and then said: "According to the old man's many years of experience, this bone-washing flower should be the best of the same kind of medicinal materials, if this guest has the sincerity to sell, the old man can give you an estimate of the reserve price." ”

Qi Fei's requirements are not high, as long as the price is the same, it will be satisfied if he can exchange for some food and clothes, "You please." ”

"The reserve price is 30,000 taels. ”

"Click!"

Fortunately, Qi Fei didn't drink water now, otherwise he would have sprayed the old man's face, but it was a pity that the teacup in his hand was crushed into pieces by him!

Seeing this, the old man's face changed slightly, and he quickly asked, "What's the matter, the little brother is not satisfied with this price?"

Qi Fei's face was embarrassed, could he say that he was too satisfied, since he was a child, he had never seen 30,000 taels of silver, let alone seen it, he didn't think about it, he just heard the old man continue:

"Although your bone-washing flower is of the best quality and has great use for cultivators, because of the limitations of the cultivation realm, the old man really doesn't dare to overestimate you. ”

Qi Fei hurriedly calmed down his good mood and smiled slightly apologetically: "The old gentleman misunderstood, I just didn't expect that this medicinal herb I picked by chance in the deep mountains could be sold for such a high price, so I was a little rude just now, not dissatisfied with your estimate." ”

Hearing this, the nervous look on the old man's face eased slightly, and he hurriedly laughed and said, "So that's the case, hehe, the little brother is really interesting." ”

Although the old man said something interesting, he didn't know what to think in his heart, because he wouldn't believe what Qi Fei said about "accidentally picked up in the deep mountains" and the like. This bone-washing flower is a rare medicinal material in the world, not to mention whether it can be encountered at will in the deep mountains, even if it is encountered, few people can name it, just take this entire Liujin Fang, the one who can recognize this medicinal herb is just such a person, Qi Fei has obviously told the name to that guy before, but now he is saying this, obviously deliberately covering up.

Of course, in the auction house, this kind of thing is not unusual, such a cover-up is not a big deal, often the auction house will not pursue anything, as long as they can make enough profit from it, they will not care where the thing came from, let alone what kind of origin the seller is.

The old man got up and walked over to the black cabinet in the corner, opened it, and took out a beautiful wooden box that was just big enough to hold the bone-washing flowers. Qi Fei had been paying attention to his movements, in case there was something strange in the black cabinet, after all, he hadn't checked it carefully just now, in case there were any mechanisms in there, wouldn't it be troublesome.

But fortunately, the old man didn't do anything particularly weird, just took a wooden box, and then returned to the table, Qi Fei said: "If you don't have any other requirements, I'll help you pack your things, and then arrange for the appearance immediately, what do you think?"

Qi Fei replied: "Thank you, old man, the sooner the better." ”

He had other things to do, as for the auction of the Bone Cleansing Flower, it was just a matter of incident, he had to find the medicine spirit as soon as possible, and then leave here with it and the silver ticket.

The old man took out a piece of paper and signed a contract with him, which was nothing more than questions such as the entrustment relationship and the auction fee, there was nothing to be elegant, after Qi Fei signed it, the old man took him to the backstage of the auction to make preparations.

There are three floors in Liujinfang, the first floor is a place for guests to rest and preliminary treasure appreciation, the reason why it is said to be preliminary treasure appreciation, because there are often some strange guests in the auction house, and the things they bring are also very strange, some things can not even be identified by all the treasure connoisseurs, in that case, they will invite those guests to the treasure room on the second floor, and then invite all the senior treasure connoisseurs to come over, and agree on the value of the thing according to its function, and then set a relatively neutral price.

If the old man couldn't recognize the bone-washing flower in Qi Fei's hand, then he would be invited to the treasure room on the second floor for a comprehensive evaluation, but the valuation would inevitably fluctuate somewhat, which might be much higher than 30,000 taels or much lower than 30,000 taels.

On the third floor is the official auction house, where many people gather every day, and among these people are all kinds of people: merchants, families, robbers, thieves, etc., anyway, with various purposes, waiting for the treasure to be announced, and then bidding or waiting for the auction to do something else unknown.

The old man did not take Qi Fei directly to the auction hall on the third floor, but took him to the basement from a hidden secret passage.

Although Qi Fei had some doubts and vigilance in his heart, he didn't immediately ask any questions, but just continued to walk with the old man. The exit of the stairs was guarded by four big men, Qi Fei roughly sensed it, and found that these four people were not the same as the people who were guarding the door outside, and the people outside were obviously a few martial artists, and these four people were all cultivators of the Quenching Realm.

Walking out of the stairs, the two of them soon entered a spacious basement, this basement is about ten zhang wide and long, and the layout inside is actually an auction house, and the surrounding decorations are extremely gorgeous, compared with the upper floors, only surpassing.

Qi Fei just glanced at the door casually, and was led by the old man to a small room next to him.

"Guest, if anything is inconvenient for you, we can provide you with a cloak that will cover your face, you see?"

Qi Fei said in his heart: "It's really intimate enough, it's no better than this, so as not to cause any unnecessary trouble." ”

As he put on his cloak, he asked, "Why did you bring me to the auction house here?"

Hearing such a question, the old man's face was not nervous, but explained to him with a smile: "We have a large auction volume here every day, and there are all kinds of things, in order to facilitate the buyers and sellers, we will divide the seller's things into two categories according to the preliminary valuation of the treasure connoisseur, those with an estimate of less than 30,000 taels will be arranged in the auction room on the third floor, and more than 30,000 taels will be arranged in this underground auction room." ”

Only then did Qi Fei understand, it turned out that there were such rules, no wonder the guards and decorations of this underground auction hall were not comparable to the above, and presumably the buyers here were not ordinary people.

What the old man said is naturally the truth, but that is only one aspect, if it is simply to set up two auction halls to distinguish the grades, there is no need to set up the underground so troublesome, it is more convenient on the ground, they do this, I am afraid there is any other use.

(The first one is offered, and the second one is baked before 10 o'clock in the evening, so stay tuned! This week's goal is still to click to break 3,000, I hope you will support it!)
