Chapter 181: Stone Merchant's Auction House

The next day, Yue Yi got up early in the morning, cleaned up a little, and walked out of the inn, and came to the beast tent to see Xiao Tian looking at him blankly, which made him feel a little guilty, last night his thoughts were all in the barren stone cave, but he forgot to feed Xiaotian, and directly starved it all night, no wonder he was listless now. The food in the stone trough was motionless, and at first glance, he knew that Xiao Tian hadn't eaten a bite, which couldn't help but make Yue Yi smile bitterly.

After placing the five herbs in the stone trough, Yue Yi patted Xiao Tian's head, and then strode straight to the stone merchant auction hall in the east of the city.

This stone merchant auction hall is owned by the Stone Chamber of Commerce, one of the three major forces in the Wastestone City, the scale is large, the flow of people is large, it can be said that it is the largest auction in the five major cities, the scene can directly catch up with the auction venue of the imperial capital, there are all kinds of things in it. The printing plate that Yue Yi wants to buy must also be among them, but I don't know if this amount can be taken out at one time at this stone merchant auction.

Because he was not very familiar with the road, and the flow of people on the street was particularly crowded, Yue Yi walked around for most of the hour before walking from the west of the city to the east of the city, and came to the place where the stone merchant's auction place was located.

Outside the stone merchant auction hall, the crowd was surging, and the dense flow of people kept going in and out like ants, this kind of scene was estimated to be only comparable to when Ye Xun led the army to pursue him. Seeing such a lively scene, Yue Yi not only sighed, that Araki City was indeed too shabby, not to mention the auction hall, there was not even a place to trade, this was not comparable at all, and he didn't know why Araki City was able to become one of the five major cities of the empire.

Yue Yi, who was standing outside the auction hall, felt some of the majestic atmosphere here, and then slipped into the crowd and poured into the venue with the crowd.

The stone merchant auction hall is divided into two floors, the lower floor basically sells the things needed for daily life, but it is not very precious, and the truly rare things will be auctioned on the second floor. However, Yue Yi saw that there were more than ten people guarding the staircase leading to the second floor, and he knew that it had been sealed, and it was impossible for anyone to enter it until the auction was held half a month later. However, Yue Yi's trip was not to go to the second floor to see any environment, so he had no regrets.

The Stone Merchant Auction House is worthy of being the highest standard auction hall among the five major cities, the buildings and decorations inside are very gorgeous, it is not an exaggeration to describe it as magnificent, Yue Yi stood in it, wandering around in some places, he didn't find the items he needed, he couldn't help but feel a little annoyed, his time was already very tight, and there were only six days left for the opening of the Seal Realm, he had to buy a seal plate to cultivate, improve the success rate of some painting seal runes, and it was good to have a better grasp of the true meaning after entering the Seal Realm.

After wandering around, he still didn't find the place where the printing plate was sold, most of them were some medicinal herbs and low-level desolate techniques, which couldn't get into Yue Yi's eyes, and he was stunned in place, a little at a loss. Then I inadvertently saw that opposite the auction hall on this floor, there was a passage, although there were also guards, but it was obviously possible to enter, but there were very few people who entered this passage, and it seemed that there was a fee to pay when entering.

Yue Yi walked over and was stopped by the guards on the spot, only to know that he needed to pay two hundred desolate coins to enter the internal auction hall on the first floor. This made him smack his tongue, this stone chamber of commerce is so dark, you have to pay a fee to enter, no wonder you are so rich. He didn't care about the small money, but he gave it out for no reason, and he was inevitably a little uncomfortable in his heart, and after scolding in his heart, he reluctantly handed over two hundred wasted coins, and the guard let Yue Yi in.

As soon as he entered it, it made him a little strange, this place was empty, and his first reaction was to think that he had gone wrong? After a closer look, I found that this is a small room by room, the doors are closed, it seems that those people are in these small rooms, the secrecy measures made by the stone merchant auction house are still good, originally I just wanted to come in to see the situation, and then went out to change into a black robe and wear a hat before coming in, now seeing the situation here, I don't have to worry about revealing any identity.

During Yue Yi's glance, a hot-bodied maid swayed over, and then asked charmingly, "May I ask this gentleman, is he here to purchase what he needs, or to evaluate the items for auction?"

Yue Yi said lightly: "The former." ”

"Please follow me. ”

The maid winked at Yue Yi, then turned around, and the water snake's waist kept twisting, as if tempting Yue Yi behind her. Yue Yi secretly scolded a goblin, I didn't expect the Shi Chamber of Commerce to be good, I can't imagine that the people who came in just now were not here to buy things at all, but to bring these maids into the small room, no wonder it was so lively here. An evil thought flashed through Yue Yi's mind, and then he realized that his expression was wrong, and he felt that he patted his cheek and regained that composure and fortitude.

After walking for dozens of zhang, the maid stopped in front of a small secret room, turned her head and saw that Yue Yi was still calm, and her eyes couldn't help but be a little disappointed, these people who can come here must be some rich businessmen or noble sons, if they can be fancied, they don't need to engage in this kind of profession, and then they cheered up again, and forced a smile: " This son, the items you need to buy, just communicate directly with the steward inside, if the items you buy are valuable, you will get different levels of seats, seats determine the treatment, the better the seats, the lower the cost of the auction deduction, in addition to the auction items, any transaction can enjoy discounts. ”

Yue Yi nodded, and then didn't look at the maid, and directly pushed the door in, the light inside was a little dimmer than expected, and then closed the door with his backhand, and when he looked up, he couldn't help but be stunned.

In front of him was a very sloppy old man, with one hand supporting his chin, his eyes closed, he was snoring, and there was still a table of saliva at the corner of his mouth, so he should have slept for a long time. Yue Yi smiled bitterly, the maid was too ignorant, and actually took him to the secret room where this bad old man was.

"Ahem!"

Seeing that the old man still hadn't woken up, Yue Yi coughed a few times helplessly, and the old man opened his eyes sleepily, and his mouth moved, probably because of the dim light, the old man moved his mouth and muttered something in a low voice. Yue Yi listened carefully, and couldn't help but be full of black lines, this old man was still dreaming of spring when he was so old, he directly slapped the table and woke up the old man.

"This ...... I'm sorry, but what does this gentleman want to buy? The old man yawned, picked at his nose, flicked it outward, and then stretched out his hand to make a gesture of please, and said to Yue Yi.

"Printing plate!" Yue Yi was not polite, sat down, and said lightly.

Hearing this word, the old man, who was originally lazy, almost didn't fall off the chair, stared at the young man in front of him again with wide eyes, sat straight on the chair, and then asked in surprise: "This ...... Sir, are you a sealer?"

"Why, can't you buy a seal plate if you're not a sealer?" Yue Yi said with a smile as he looked at the old man opposite.

"Well, that's not what I mean, sir, what grade of plates do you need, and how many are they?" the old man hurriedly smiled, and then asked, his attitude much more enthusiastic than before.

Tapping his fingers lightly on the tabletop, Yue Yi thought about it for a moment, and then said: "Three hundred first-order printing plates, one hundred second-order printing plates, it is best to trade now, I don't know if you have stock in this auction house." ”

When the old man heard this, he was shocked, buying so many printing plates at one time, only the Indian League would be like this, this young man looked very angry, could it be a newcomer in the Indian League?

Seeing that the old man hadn't moved, Yue Yi asked, "What, isn't it?"

The old man came back to his senses and hurriedly said: "Yes, because the Seal Alliance of Barren Stone City often comes to buy the printing plate, so we have stock at this time, this level printing plate is 10,000, and the second-order printing plate is 20,000, a total of five million gold coins, please pay first." ”

From Yue Yi's words, the old man judged that he was not a person from the Indian Alliance, the Indian Alliance usually comes to purchase once a month, and the purchase was just completed two days ago, it is impossible to purchase it again in such a short time, and the quantity is not so much. The people of the Indian Alliance knew that the most important thing in their Stone Chamber of Commerce was the printing plate, how could they ask such a question, from which it could be judged that this young man was not from the Indian Alliance, but he didn't know if he was a sealer, or if he helped the sealer behind him buy the printing plate.

Yue Yi directly threw a purple gold card on the table, and then said lightly: "Hurry up, I'm still in a hurry." ”

Looking at the purple gold card, the old man was slightly surprised, and he didn't procrastinate, walked behind him, opened a secret door, and disappeared into Yue Yi's field of vision. Yue Yi was not in a hurry, and waited here quietly, this huge stone chamber of commerce would definitely not do anything to steal chickens and dogs, otherwise it would not be possible to have such a large scale.

After a while, the old man walked out of the secret door, handed the storage bag and the purple gold card in his hand to Yue Yi, and said with a smile: "There are three hundred first-order printing plates and one hundred second-order printing plates in this storage bag, please take a look." ”

Yue Yi glanced at it, nodded, and the old man handed a purple token to Yue Yi and said, "You have reached the qualification for the third-level seat, you can sit in the third row, and there will be an auction in half a month, please pay attention at that time." ”

After receiving the token, Yue Yi didn't stop, and walked out of the secret room directly, and the old man saw that the door of the secret room was closed, so he muttered: "I'm not sure about the identity of the other party yet, but it's rare to see a seal master who cultivates loosely, tell the president the news, he should be interested." ”
