Chapter 48: The Auction
On the second day, a kamikaze ship rose above the southern courtyard, and then quickly rushed to the east.
"Chengsheng, haha, touch your light, we flew twice in the sect. On the kamikaze warship, everyone stood on the bow of the ship, blowing a warm breeze, which was extremely comfortable, Cui Renming patted Yu Chengsheng's shoulder and said enthusiastically, and even the title became closer.
"Hehe, it's also your light, I heard that he borrowed the kamikaze warship to take you out, and he usually doesn't lend it to me easily. Yu Chengsheng smiled and commanded the warship to fly faster and higher.
In the most remote corner of the second floor sits a magnificent castle, which is square, and the whole corner is completely impermeable.
At the corners of the city walls stood armoured soldiers, guarding the four directions, and at the gates, armoured soldiers stood guarding the passages.
Many disciples lined up in order to wait for the interrogation of the guards, no one here dared to be presumptuous, otherwise the guards could take down or even kill them on the spot.
The soldiers defending the city verified that it was correct, and the six of them paid the exit fee of 1,200 contribution points and walked out of Wuji Mountain.
"The entry fee for this second tier is a bit expensive. Cui Renming muttered, although the cost was helped by Yu Chengsheng, he was still a little distressed, this contribution point is not easy to earn, and he almost had an accident last time.
"Hehe, that's the case, the soldiers who defend the city are also hard, and their monthly income is mainly from these expenses for entering and leaving the city. Yu Chengsheng smiled disapprovingly and led everyone towards the imperial capital.
The imperial capital of the Wuji Empire is lined with buildings, houses and courtyards. In the streets and alleys, crowds of people surged, the shouts of hawkers, the shouts of Xiao Er, and the cheers of some gambling arenas in the ring came from time to time, attracting Xiao Yi and several people to look back from time to time.
"Hehe, you can take whatever you like, you're welcome, I'll pay for it. Yu Chengsheng walked in front and led everyone slowly on the central street, which is a marble paved road, spacious and clean, and at the same time lively.
"Well, the imperial capital is really lively, Cheng Sheng, you are squandering here!" Cui Renming looked left and right, if it weren't for the presence of his companions, he really wanted to have a good look.
"You can have fun today, too. Yu Chengsheng looked at Cui Renming's anxious appearance and smiled, "Let's go to dinner first, after eating, let's go to see the auction again, there is still time." ”
Everyone agreed, and suddenly felt that the gluttonous worms in their stomachs were about to move, and followed Yu Chengsheng towards the restaurant in the city with great interest.
Although it is not the largest restaurant in the city, it also has a unique flavor. Far away, the hotel owner went out with a smile to greet him and sent a group of people into the VIP box on the second floor.
"Cheng Sheng, it seems that you are a frequent guest here, and the boss is so polite to you. Lin Yang sat down and said with a smile, he had been meditating and cultivating for a long time, and he enjoyed the feeling of being treated as a VIP.
"It's okay, it's okay, the shopkeeper can afford to look down on the little brother and give a few thin noodles. Yu Chengsheng smiled and began to order food to beckon everyone to get up.
Everyone drank tea and chatted and waited for the meal to come up, Yu Chengsheng was humorous and experienced, and everyone listened to the strange stories with relish.
After a while, the meals from the restaurant were delivered one after another. Steamed overlord eggs, braised dragon and lion heads...... Suddenly, the aroma was fragrant, causing everyone to feel even more hungry, Cui Renming was the first to pick up the chopsticks and shouted, and everyone started to eat together.
There are 360 lines in the world, which line can make a steady profit without losing money? Auction can be regarded as one of them, for one of the giants of the Lanyu Continent, Wansheng Auction House, it can be said that it has monopolized the auction industry of the Lanyu Continent. Every auction takes a 10 percent commission, and there are auctions on the mainland almost every day, which shows how astonishing the speed at which it has amassed money.
Cities with trade exchanges throughout the Lanyu Continent will have the footprints of Wansheng Auction House, and the flowery Imperial Capital of the Wuji Empire will naturally not be an exception, and there is even more than one auction branch.
Xiao Yi and the others went to one of the branches, the Thirty-Sixth Branch, which was located in a huge castle in the center of the imperial capital. The entire castle is made of marble, and many silver crystals are whitewashed throughout. From afar, it shimmered with silver light, like a huge gem.
"It's really rich, and it's actually decorated with so many spars. Xiao Yi and the others couldn't help but take a big breath when they saw the magnificent castle.
The time has not yet come, but the crowd has been surging towards the branch, the waiters of the branch organized and arranged the guests to sit in an orderly manner, and Xiao Yi and others were also led to a corner of the hall.
The entire hall was already seated, and the noise of conversation kept coming. After another incense stick, an old man with white hair and a few maids slowly walked out of the stage.
The old man was smiling, kind and kind, and as soon as he appeared, he bowed to everyone and apologized: "I have kept you waiting for a long time." ”
The guests in the audience gradually quieted down, the old man looked at the audience with a smile, and said with a smile again: "The old man's surname is Xu Mingcheng, this event is a regular auction of my branch, supported by the old man, thank you for your support and care!" After speaking, he bowed to the guests in the audience again and thanked him.
"Elder Xu, let's go straight to the point!" a guest in the audience shouted impatiently, which immediately caused a burst of "yes, yes, hurry up and start". It seems to be a regular at some auctions.
"Okay, the old man will start with one more word. Xu Cheng was not annoyed, and still said with a smile, "The old man can reveal one thing first, although this is a regular auction, but the finale is a rare treasure." ”
Everyone was stunned and wanted to hear the following, but Xu Cheng turned around and loudly announced the start of the auction, which successfully attracted the curiosity of the guests.
Xu Cheng took out a black iron box from the left and right maids, glanced at the audience, and said lightly: "The first piece of the following auction - the Xuan-level Heart Method Chiyan Heart Sutra, from the Master Chiyan, the reserve price is 200,000 spars, and the price will be increased by at least 10,000 crystals each time, start." ”
As the first piece of auction is usually more popular, if the first piece is not auctioned, it will have a negative impact on the subsequent auctions.
And the Xuan-level mental method is still relatively popular in the martial arts world, after all, the mental method is the foundation for the growth of a force. It is difficult for the earth-level mental method to appear, and even if it appears, it is sky-high, and it is difficult for ordinary martial artists to get it, and it is still possible for the Xuan-level mental method.
"I'll give two hundred and fifty thousand. ”
"I'll give 300,000. ”
"Five hundred thousand!"
......
"A million first, a million second, a million third. Xu Cheng shouted loudly, seeing that no one raised his cards to bid again, he snapped and made a final decision.
This is a higher price than the market, and the buyer who bought it was very happy to follow the maid to the backstage transaction. A Xuan-level heart method is not available every time, as the treasure of the town clan of the overlord family of the county, it is still okay, and the price is worth it.
"The second is ......"
The auction continued, and Xiao Yi and the others watched it with relish, and gradually became familiar with the whole process and the rules of the game. During this period, Cui Renming also helped Lan Kexin buy a crystal necklace, Liu Demeng bought a set of talisman armor, and Lin Yang bought some medicinal materials for refining the body. Everyone has their own place, but it is worth the trip.
Just as he was about to leave, Xu Cheng's voice came again.
"Here is the finale of this auction, please take a look!" Xu Cheng took out a jade bottle from a maid's hand, and saw a golden pill emitting a dazzling light.
Xu Cheng opened the cork, and immediately the whole audience was fragrant, and the smell was refreshing. Some of the guests' eyes straightened and even turned red, staring at the pill in front of them in a daze.
"Ladies and gentlemen, you have guessed correctly, this is the metallic Jin Xian Pill refined by Master Huang Guantian, that is, the elixir that can directly promote people to the legendary innate realm. I can solemnly tell you this kind of elixir, there are not a few regular auctions in a year, and please see the friends who have taken the opportunity today, after this village, there will be no such shop. ”
Xu Cheng pushed the atmosphere of the audience to * in just a few words, and many guests asked about the price.
"The reserve price is five million spars, and the price will be increased by at least five hundred thousand crystals each time, start now!" Xu Cheng saw that the atmosphere of the scene was mobilized, and he no longer beat around the bush and started the auction directly.
"Six million spars!"
"Six and a half million!"
......
As soon as the words fell, many guests began to quote, but if you look closely, many of the guests who quoted are old men with quite powerful aura, and young people don't see it much.
"Wow, what kind of person is this Huang Guantian, he can call five million spars for a pill at a low price, it's too powerful, can't he make a fortune with this. Cui Renming exclaimed, the necklace he bought for Lan Kexin cost him a small amount of spar, and the reserve price of five million alone was unacceptable to him.
"Master Huang is a noble third-order alchemist, and he is the target of robbery everywhere. As long as he opened his mouth, many people would take the initiative to send hedrons and medicinal herbs. Yu Chengsheng raised his head with a look of reverence, his eyes staring at the pill in a daze.
"Can the Jin Xian Pill really make people promote to innate status?" Even Lin Yang, who rarely spoke, opened his mouth to ask, and the metallic pill successfully attracted his attention.
"Of course, you can, but there are risks and costs. ”
"At risk?"
"The risk is naturally that the promotion is not a 100% success rate, and the average Jin Xiandan is only 60% sure. ”
"And at what cost?"
"The price is that even if you succeed in promoting to the congenital, you will be weaker than the average congenital, and because you have overdrawn your potential, it will be very difficult to improve in the future. You see, the quotations are all some old men in their twilight years, and they see that Shouyuan is approaching, so they will definitely desperately snatch this rare Jin Xiandan. ”
"Forget it, even if it is sent to me, I don't want it. ”
The two of them asked and answered each other, so that Xiao Yi and the others had a certain understanding of this Jin Xiandan, and everyone nodded in agreement, after all, they were still young and hoped to go further. After thinking about it, I was so eager for that Jin Xiandan.
