Chapter 166

"No, those seats should be reserved for some people, let's take the next seat. As soon as Red Tears finished speaking, Liu Lao vetoed Red Tears' proposal for the first time.

Although the seats in front of him were empty, no one else dared to sit on them, Liu Lao had such a wealth of experience, how could he not have imagined that those seats were reserved for specific people to sit.

"It's really boring to be so far away," Red Tears has always been very smart, and naturally understood what Liu Lao said at once, so he had to mumble in disappointment, and then walked forward with Liu Lao very unhappily.

In fact, after Lin Xuanzhong found out that there was a vacancy there, he had the same idea as red tears in his heart, but he didn't say it in time, and now after hearing Liu Lao say no, Lin Xuanzhong naturally understood that the seats there were specially reserved for people, and ordinary people couldn't sit on them, so he couldn't help but be a little lucky, but fortunately he didn't rush to ask.

There were many seats in the entire venue, and there were already thousands of people sitting in front of them after counting them in rows, and if they were all full, it should be no problem to accommodate more than 10,000 people. Because there were not many people who came to watch the auction of medicinal materials, the position where a few people sat was considered the middle of the venue, and it was not far from the auction platform, and Wu Xiu's eyesight was originally better than ordinary people, so after sitting down in turn, everyone could see the situation on the platform clearly.

At this time, there was no one on the platform now, only the black curtain. Behind the black curtain should be the person in charge of the auction and the things to be auctioned, and the platform is the lowest position in the entire venue, about twenty meters from the top of the venue. Above the venue, it was evident that there were still some rooms, some with open windows and some with closed.

From a distance, there were still people looking at the platform in those windows, but they couldn't see the faces of the people in the room from a distance. After continuing to look around the situation, Lin Xuanzhong was amazed by the architectural style of the venue, and it was indeed magnificent.

According to the architectural structure of the medicinal herb auction venue, it can be imagined that the other four venues are of the same structure, forming a circle in a fan-shaped structure, so when viewed from the outside, the entire black market building is a circular building. Of course, since it is a black market, there must be a trading market, but I don't know where the real market is.

The people behind were still coming in one after another, and through Qing Yi's conversation with outsiders, several people gradually knew that there was still a quarter of an hour before the auction officially began, and they were just entering the venue in advance and waiting.

After a while, people came in from the passages on both sides of the front of the venue, and one by one they went straight to the two rows of empty seats in front of them.

"The seats were reserved for the auctions, and their entrance fees were ten times higher than ours. After seeing those people come in, a stranger who was still chatting with Qingyi introduced a few people.

I see, after a burst of amazement, several people finally understood why those empty seats were kept. It's just that the entrance fee paid by those people is too high, enough for one person to eat several meals in the inn.

Looking again, Lin Xuanzhong saw that the people who came in were old and young, and men and women were dressed differently. Some are wearing brocade clothes, and some are wearing coarse linen clothes, but their temperament is very different from ordinary martial arts cultivators, and they all seem to be either extremely powerful or extremely powerful, and sure enough, the people who can really participate in the auction are not ordinary martial arts cultivators.

What made Lin Xuanzhong strange was that although there were many people coming in now, those young ladies just now were not among them. Surprised, Lin Xuanzhong's eyes fell on the windows of the rooms above the venue, and the windows that were closed just now were now open, and people could be seen looking at the auction platform.

After a turn of thought, Lin Xuanzhong suddenly thought that maybe those rich sons and young ladies were in those rooms, but he didn't expect that there was a more special place in the venue than the two rows of seats in front of him, and he didn't know how much jade they would have to pay. In fact, they don't have to pay anything. Those small rooms can be said to be VIP rooms, and the people who can participate in the auction in those rooms are people of status.

While Lin Xuanzhong was secretly guessing, a quarter of an hour passed quickly, and the black curtain was finally pulled to both sides, and an old man and a woman walked slowly from behind.

The old man was very old, his long beard had turned white, but the woman next to him was very young, with a delicate face, dozens of meters away, Lin Xuanzhong looked at the woman's face and had a familiar feeling, as if he had seen each other somewhere.

Looking closely, the familiar feeling became stronger and stronger, but I couldn't remember it for a short time, and then I saw that the old man next to him was a complete stranger.

"The old man Nanyang Ye is one of the people in charge this time," the old man on the stage just spoke softly, and the loud voice had spread throughout the venue.

"I, Jiang Ni, am the second person in charge of this auction," the crisp voice was tactful, and then continued to sound: "This is the first time that the little girl has presided over the auction on behalf of the black market, and I ask for your attention." When the woman mentioned the black market, Lin Xuanzhong's thoughts froze, and he suddenly remembered the identity of the woman in front of him.

She was the person in charge of the black market in the dark city at the beginning, and when the Lin family hosted a banquet for the major families that day, Lin Xuanzhong had a relationship with the other party, and now she remembered that she really didn't admit her mistake.

I didn't expect the other party to come to the city that never sleeps, and I didn't know what the situation of the city was now, Lin Xuanzhong wanted to go down and ask him. It's a pity that he was only a one-sided relationship with the other party at the beginning, Lin Xuanzhong felt that he was not familiar with the other party, and the other party did not necessarily remember him, so he directly dispelled the idea in his heart. It's just that when he looked at Jiang Ni again, Lin Xuanzhong's mind couldn't regain his calmness.

"Gossip aside, everyone should know the rules of our auction," Nanyang Ye shook his long beard and said to everyone in the venue again: "The auction is about to start, please prepare all those who are about to participate in the auction." ”

"When", when it was announced that the auction was about to start on Nanyang night, a staff member dressed as an attendant on the side immediately struck the gong in his hand.

"The first item is a Soul Guarding Grass as the color of this auction," and then Jiang Ni's voice sounded again, "The Soul Guarding Grass can prolong the survival time of dying people for ordinary people. For the injured, as long as there is still a breath left, the Soul Guarding Grass can last for three hours. The crisp voice was also loud and abnormal, and when it reached Lin Xuanzhong's position, the sound was not too loud or small.

"It's such a high realm," Mo Lingyun, who was sitting in the middle, looked at Jiang Ni and couldn't help muttering. It is true that it is difficult for ordinary people to make such a bright voice, and Jiang Ni's realm is definitely not low, but Lin Xuanzhong on the side is more concerned about the function of the Soul Guarding Grass.

According to Jiang Ni, the Soul Guarding Grass obviously has the effect of prolonging life. Could it be that there is really a life-prolonging medicine in the world, Lin Xuanzhong couldn't believe it, but when he thought of the process of washing his muscles and removing the marrow, he gradually accepted these facts. His thoughts fluctuated, and Lin Xuanzhong was surprised by the facts in front of him.

At the same time, the people around were also shocked by this colorful head, and they couldn't help but exclaim.

"The Soul Guarding Grass is an elixir that can be taken directly, and one is worth a thousand gold. ”

"Yes, I didn't expect there to be such a good thing in this auction, I'm afraid that some of the people in front of me will fight. ”

"No, I don't know how high the price of this lottery can be. There was an exclamation all around, just listening to it made Lin Xuanzhong feel that the price of the Soul Guarding Grass was very high, and in a blink of an eye, the venue was already lively.

Far from being angry at the commotion in the room, the two leaders on the stage smiled and seemed happy to be surprised by what they were auctioning.

"Elder Liu, what is the Soul Guarding Grass?" The surrounding voices were too chaotic, and the red tears couldn't hear the specific characteristics of the Soul Guarding Grass, so they simply asked Liu Lao. Besides, there is such a well-informed person as Liu Lao, and it is useless not to ask if you don't ask.

On the other side, Liu Lao's attitude towards Red Tears was still very good, and after being surprised by the Soul Guarding Grass, he turned to Red Tears and explained: "The general effect of the Soul Guarding Grass has been explained by the female person in charge, and the old man will simply explain it to you." ”

"Martial cultivators are often injured, once they are fatally attacked, they still have one breath left but they are not dead, as long as that breath is still there, no matter how close the injured person is to death, the Soul Guarding Grass can protect the wounded heart and keep the injured alive. It may not be as big as the female person in charge said, but it is enough to buy enough life-saving time for the injured, so to put it simply, the soul guard grass is to give those who are seriously injured and dying a chance to receive treatment. ”

In order to make Red Tears fully understand, Liu Lao said in great detail. Not only the red tears, but Lin Xuanzhong, who had never heard of the Soul Guarding Grass before, widened their eyes and sighed incredulously. For everyone, the effect of the Soul Guardian Grass is too amazing.

"Everyone be quiet," after the atmosphere of the venue was active to a certain extent, the old man on the stage, Nanyang Ye, made a "signal to be quiet" to everyone, and then continued after the voice in the venue was greatly reduced: "The bottom price of a soul guard grass is 10,000 pieces of jade, and the price increase shall not be less than 1,000 each time, and now the auction has officially begun." ”

With a "dang", the waiter rang the gong again. Immediately afterwards, all the audience in the venue consciously stopped talking, and the venue quickly fell silent. The two rows in front of the auction and the VIPs in the upper room are all ready to move at the moment, and it is definitely worth it to be able to get a soul grass in their hands.

"Fifteen thousand," one person reported such a large number at the beginning.

"Ten thousand sixteen. ”

"Ten thousand seventeen. ”

......

After those people kept raising the price, the price of the Soul Guarding Grass continued to rise, and it had exceeded 30,000 in a blink of an eye. By this time, the number of bidders began to decrease, and it was clear that the current price had met the criteria they considered for many people who wanted to auction the Soul Keeper Grass.
