Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
Finally, the day when the auction officially began, everyone's patience has also reached a limit, but fortunately, the people who can come in here are always some city governments, and they will not give up the hard-won opportunity because of this face.
Ling Chen's own quota is one, the brass semi-circle sign with "one" written on it, proving his qualification. According to the news I got from Yao Fatzi, before the auction, you must show this brand before you are eligible to bid. If the bid is successful, the brand will be withdrawn.
From the hall of "Fengqi Building" to the second floor, on the middle staircase, there is a wooden door, which was originally locked. On the third day of Ling Chen's arrival, two teams of beautiful women rushed in, and one of them, the tall woman in the lead, walked straight to the wooden door on the second floor without looking at any of the people in the hall, and opened the lock. Then two lines of people, lined up on either side of the staircase.
At this time, the tall woman who took the lead said lightly, "Everyone, go upstairs and take a seat according to order."
The people in the hall are all people with great status, even if this woman doesn't say it, she won't compete for a position, after all, they all know that it is an auction, not a queue to grab a meal.
A little humble concession, some of the older and more well-known people got up and went upstairs first, and the others slowly followed.
Ling Chen had already noticed in the past three days that there were more than a hundred people participating in this time, not many people, not a lot, and it seemed that the number of people invited was deliberately limited, and there were a few people like him who were able to come in after purchasing a quota for the second time.
It took more than 100 people more than ten minutes to slowly go up to the second floor.
Ling Chen was not in a hurry, when it was his turn, he also paced slowly, but when he passed the tall woman who led the team, he glanced at the other party without a trace.
Different from the other subordinates of this manor master, this tall woman has a special aura all over her body, Ling Chen knew that the other party had cultivated a particularly difficult scripture and was stuck on a certain bottleneck with the experience of his previous life.
He secretly noted that this bit of information was very helpful, and if it was not surprising, other people of the same status as this tall woman would gradually get stuck in a similar bottleneck.
When he came to the second floor, he saw at a glance that a circle set of rings was arranged in front of him. In the middle is a high platform on which a round table is placed.
Around the high platform is a circle of seats, the seats are Ming Dynasty style seats, and there is an antique square table in front of the seats, on which not even a cup of tea is placed. Ling Chen noticed that the building was as antique as possible, both in terms of the exterior and the furniture arranged inside.
He and Yao Fang randomly chose a position close to the high platform to sit down, although the second floor is not big, but it is more than enough to put down more than 100 people, and the position is very relaxed.
After everyone came up, the tall woman with two teams of people just now also followed up to the second floor.
After that, the crowd waited for another two hours, challenging their patience again.
On the high platform, on the side of the round table, a person suddenly appeared.
However, Ling Chen had already seen clearly that the person had emerged from under the ground of the high platform, and there was only an underground passage.
This person is also a young and beautiful woman, dressed in Han costume, holding a roll of bamboo slips in her hand.
At this time, some people waiting for the auction began to whisper.
"It's actually a bamboo slip, the book of the earliest era last time, it seems to be the Song and Yuan dynasties, this bamboo slip is at least between the Qin and Han dynasties."
"A copy of the bamboo slips of the Han Dynasty, you can raise a sign to bid after you have read the introduction," the woman in Han costume was also very cold, and after finishing speaking, the two teams of women just now put a page in front of their seats in turn.
Ling Chen took the page of the book, opened it and took a look, "Pei Yuan Jue, the effect is to purify the heart and strengthen the body, suitable for the age of the crowd, middle-aged and above ........." There are some explanations behind it, but they are basically useless things.
Sure enough, it was a low-grade thing, Ling Chen thought like this, he already knew that the cultivation scriptures that were circulated at this time could not be a good product, the first opening time was short, and the treasures were all behind, and this auctioneer must have screened it again.
Yao Fatzi on the side seemed to be aware of it, and lowered his head sideways and asked, "What, Mr. Ling, this book doesn't seem to be in sight?" ”
"Nothing, the beginning of the thing, there won't be anything too good**?" Ling Chen replied lightly.
"That's true, then I won't waste my precious place"
Ling Chen didn't care about him, in his previous life, the classification of this cultivation book was different between the East and the West, the East was divided into upper, middle and lower grades according to the traditional Nine Grades of the Middle Righteous Method, while the West used the letters of habit to distinguish them, using the practical level to evaluate the standard of S to H, and the Western division method had more of the standards they were used to, and the classification was clearer, and the middle even used the +- sign to distinguish the different differences of each level, which was easier to understand, so more people were used to using the division of practical grade evaluation.
But Ling Chen knew that the method of the nine grades was more holistic and long-term, for example, the "Qingyang True Scripture" he cultivated, which belonged to the upper grade in the East, but he only won the remnants, and it could also be regarded as the upper and lower grades, but according to the practical grade evaluation, it could only be rated at the level of B+, and there were very few people who chose to cultivate.
As for who will divide this standard, in the previous life, it was naturally determined by the group of people who held the control of the spaceship relics.
However, there is also an advantage of the lower grade, that is, the entry threshold is very low, and most people can comprehend the first level.
Thinking of this, Ling Chen also understood that this auctioneer was not completely selfish, and he also thought about the buyer by the way, even if he took out a medium-grade or high-grade cultivation book now, the possibility that the buyer would be able to cultivate by himself was extremely rare. And the buyer who has spent a lot of money will definitely not look for someone else to test the feasibility. At that time, it not only smashed its own signboard, but also made the buyer unlucky.
Thinking of these reasons, Ling Chen knew that the auction below did not have much expectation for him, and he focused more on the people participating in the auction.
When others began to scramble for the books, he watched everyone's actions without a trace.
Every time a copy is auctioned, a young and beautiful woman is replaced, Ling Chen thought to himself, the people behind this scene are a bit interesting, and the handwriting is quite amazing. It is not difficult to find these beautiful women, it is rare to get the other party to participate in the core secrets, and there is no worry about their loyalty, women are less loyal than men, and their physical fragility makes it more difficult for them to keep secrets.
The atmosphere was also getting more and more enthusiastic, and the fat man Yao on the side was also eager to try, but because Ling Chen always read the introduction, he didn't say a word, and he didn't seem interested, so he was discouraged from buying.
He knew that Ling Chen's net worth, the other party had accumulated dozens of times his wealth in a short period of time, he believed that the other party must have something special, and unconsciously, he also regarded the other party's expression as an important reference for whether he decided to participate in the auction.
When the fifteenth book appeared, there was a woman in a turf skirt, the same good looks, and the book she was holding in her hand was a little special, it was a small ding, the size of an ordinary wine jug, and it was densely engraved with small characters.
Ling Chen looked at the instruction page in his hand, which read, "Tengyun Ding, there is Tengyun Recipe engraved on it, after practice, it can make the body light and ......healthy." Ling Chen's eyes lit up, this was different from the previous ones, which were all used to prolong life, and began to strengthen his body functions in a directional way.
