Chapter 15: Treasure Appreciation (I)
The old man once again looked at the protective clothing in his hand, it was indeed a superb spiritual weapon.
"The spirit weapon with offensive and defensive properties is already expensive, surpassing other spirit weapons of the same level, and this protective suit is the best of the best...... Your Excellency, why don't you let me take you to auction? "The old man has already regarded Wang Chen as a refiner, who can refine the best spiritual weapon, at least a third-level refiner, and the thought of being able to make friends with such a high-level refiner, he was faintly a little excited in his heart, and immediately began to offer his courtesy.
Moreover, in a place like a civilian area, even if it is an underground black market, it is difficult to see the best spiritual weapons, and this protective clothing can definitely be auctioned for a good price, and he must also make money as a middleman.
Wang Chen thought for a moment, and instantly understood what the old man of the shopkeeper meant, he probably wanted to make friends with himself.
According to his estimates, the price of this first-class best protective clothing should be between 50,000 and 80,000 yuan for the merchant, and the price may be even higher if it is auctioned.
"Yes," he replied blandly.
On the right side of the underground black market hall is the only auction place in the entire black market and even in the civilian area, belonging to the richest family in Nanjiang City, the Xiahou family!
In Nanjiang City, the most powerful is the mayor, but if you want to talk about wealth, the first is the Xiahou family.
The Xiahou family has a long history, and is an evergreen tree among the big families in Nanjiang City, and the family power is intertwined, whether it is in the city or in the civilian area below, there is a figure of this family.
I heard that a quarter of the tax revenue of the entire Nanjiang City was contributed by the Xiahou family.
The Xiahou family not only has a large auction house, a spiritual weapon shop, a private school, a Fengyue place, a merchant group and a financial bank, but also has its own private armed forces, and its power has also infiltrated the Beihai City Alliance Army.
Compared with such a big family, the district chief Bai family is completely incomparable.
This is the real big family!
Therefore, with such a deep background and strong strength, no one dares to covet the slightest bit of the Xiahou family, no matter how lucrative the auction house is.
After Wang Chen followed the shopkeeper and the old man around a few dark ditches, he walked through the underground black market hall and came to the auction hall. Compared to the old man's poor shop, the auction house looks like a large palace, lavishly decorated and magnificent.
There is a big signboard hanging on the gate seven or eight meters wide, on which the dragon and phoenix are carved with several big characters of the Xiahou family auction house!
On both sides of the gate, there are more than a dozen guards with high cattle and horses, and they are always on high alert.
The shopkeeper and the old man whispered a few words to a captain of the guard, who looked at Wang Chen, and then ordered a guard to enter the auction hall with the two of them.
"Your Excellency, let's go to the treasure room first, and we must identify the spirit weapon once before the auction, so as to facilitate the pricing!"
The old man explained respectfully in Wang Chen's ear.
Wang Chen didn't say anything, just nodded slightly.
Looking through the hollowness of the mask, Wang Chen swept the entire auction hall, and couldn't help but marvel in his heart, it can be described as splendid, it was crowded with people, noisy, and seemed to be caught in a fierce bidding. A branch of Xiahou's house is like a luxury, and I don't know how gorgeous the large auction hall is.
Next to the auction hall, there were several rooms, and on the door of one of them, there was a sign engraved with "Treasure Room", and the guards led the two inside, bowed respectfully to the people inside, and then bowed away.
The room is not large, with a multi-meter-long experimental table in the middle, and some shelves around it, scattered with some spiritual weapons. Compared with the shopkeeper's old man's shop, the grade of these spiritual weapons is much higher.
"Mr. Five," the old man seemed to know the people in the room.
Wang Chen's gaze moved up, this was a middle-aged man who looked very ordinary, his hair was slightly white, he was wearing a professional suit, and he looked very cultivated.
Mr. Five's gaze directly skipped over the old man of the shopkeeper, and finally fell on Wang Chen, looking at the figure hidden under the black robe, as if he was used to such a mysterious visitor, and a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth: "Sir, are you planning to auction the treasure?" ”
Before Wang Chen could reply, the shopkeeper and the old man immediately interjected, "Mr. Five, Your Excellency this noble refiner has entrusted me with full authority to handle his auction. ”
Mr. Five was slightly stunned, and then looked at Wang Chen, "Sir, is that so?" ”
Wang Chen nodded.
"What kind of artifact?" Mr. Five didn't say much, he himself was a veteran first-level refiner, and he knew some of the temper of the refiner, so he didn't beat around the bush.
"Mr. Five, it's this first-class best protective suit," the old man took out the spirit weapon directly.
"How is it possible to be the best"
Mr. Five shook his head at first, and when his eyes fell on the protective suit, his original questioning expression completely turned into shock and surprise.
"It's really the best spiritual weapon!"
As a refiner, he was more likely than the old man to sense the existence of the soul in the spirit weapon, although it only existed like a go-of-the-road, but it was already considered a top-grade spirit weapon.
Mr. Five suppressed the excitement in his heart, he had been a treasure connoisseur in this auction house for two years, and he had never seen the best spiritual artifact being used for appraisal and auction.
"Your Excellency, may I ask what is special or useful about this spiritual weapon?" Mr. Five's tone also became extremely respectful.
As a veteran refiner who has been in the refining world for so many years, he deeply understands how difficult it is to refine a superb spiritual weapon, and it is impossible to do it without extremely high talent and luck.
At least, he has no drama in his life.
And the black-robed man in front of him is obviously from an extraordinary background, he is definitely a senior refiner, such a person, even in Nanjiang City, is an existence that is looked up to, maybe a senior of the Refiner Guild.
The old man also looked at Wang Chen, he really didn't know the role of this superb protective suit.
Wang Chen coughed lightly, moistened his throat, and said calmly: "My first-class top-grade protective clothing is at least equivalent to the defense power of five top-grade protective clothing, and those with a combat power of less than 400 in the Quenching Realm cannot destroy it, and it can block the fatal blow of a person with a combat power of 700 in the Quenching Realm, and it has a bonus defense against those with weapon abilities!" ”
Mr. Five was a little surprised, this is a first-level spiritual weapon, which is already completely comparable to a high-level second-level spiritual weapon!
"Of course, its shortcomings are obvious," Wang Chen coughed and added.
Mr. Five and the old man glanced at each other, and said in a daze, "What shortcomings?" ”
"As you can see, it's just ugly."
The two of them were petrified on the spot, such a powerful and top-grade spiritual weapon, who would care about its appearance?
