Chapter 83: The Auction (Part I)
"Knock! knock!"
A few people chatted casually for a while, and a few gongs rang, which made the originally noisy auction hall instantly quiet, and then an old man in a purple robe slowly walked up to the middle high platform, glanced around the auction hall with a smile, and hugged his fists and said: "Thank you for your special love, gather me at the auction house today, and I won't say much polite words, get straight to the point, there are a total of six auction items today, and this first auction item is a bottle of jade-footed crane saliva." ”
As he spoke, the old man beckoned a pretty woman, who was holding a tray with a pale blue jade bottle on top of it.
When everyone heard this, they were in an uproar, and they were all stunned.
"I didn't expect this humble auction house to be able to get such a thing!" Jia Jin looked at the jade bottle on the tray and exclaimed.
However, Jing Jue had always seen and heard less, and he didn't know what this jade-footed crane saliva was for, so he asked, "What is this for? Is it precious?"
"This jade-footed crane saliva is used to wash the muscles and cut the marrow, precious is not counted, this jade-footed crane can be seen everywhere, but it is only born a year of salivation, and the number is very small, can collect such a bottle, not a three years and five years to catch cranes everywhere, it is impossible to do. Jia Jin replied.
"Isn't it just a washing man? At this time, Yan Qingqian glanced at everyone below with a disdainful look, and said, "In the sect, you can casually exchange for the elixir that cleanses the muscles and the marrow." ”
Jia Jin smiled: "Hehe, grandma, the pills of the sect are all specially supplied, and they are only used by people inside the sect, but these people below are all loose cultivators, they don't have any sect support, and it is already a chance to encounter this kind of thing, do you say they can not be excited?"
Yan Qingqian was silent after listening, he still didn't care, he was snorting melon seeds by himself, but Chen Li next to him was shocked when he heard it, what kind of wealthy family were these people born in, and even this tendon washing pill has a special supply, and for a while, he sighed that people were more popular than people.
"Hey, old man, do you salivate enough? Don't open the bottle at that time, it's only a little bit, it's not enough for people to wash their muscles and marrow." At this time, the person below asked loudly, apparently very interested in the jade-footed crane salivation.
"Hehe, this friend, I see that you are also a regular customer, you should know that my auction house pays attention to the word reputation, never do that deceptive thing, if you can't believe it, you might as well come up and test. The old man was also refreshed and said directly.
When the man heard this, he was about to get up and walk towards the stage, when suddenly another person shouted: "Old man, don't pay attention to this hillbilly, just give the reserve price and start the auction, I can't wait, master." ”
"Yes, yes, what else to test, most of you present are repeat customers, and you are still at ease with the lots taken out by the auction house. ”
......
Everyone knows the effect of this crane salivation, and they are all full of interest, and they don't want to waste more time, so the person who wants to investigate has to sit back in place stupidly, and said in a deep voice: "Then let's start shooting, it's not a test." ”
Seeing this, the old man smiled slightly: "Okay, since your friends are in high spirits, then there won't be much nonsense in the next place, the jade foot crane salivates, five hundred spirit stones will be auctioned! Each time the price increase shall not be less than ten spirit stones!"
"Five hundred, so expensive!" As soon as the old man's voice fell, Yan Qingqian was shocked at that time, and exclaimed: "Those tendon-washing and marrow elixirs in the sect are much easier to use than this crane saliva pill, and it is only thirty spirit stones at most, and he actually shoots five hundred!
"I told you everything, those pills are special offerings of the sect. Jia Jin looked at Yan Qingqian and said this.
"I'll give you five hundred spirit stones!" While the two were talking, someone in the crowd below had already shouted out the reserve price first.
"Five hundred and two!"
"Five hundred and eight!"
......
Immediately after that, a series of price shouts were heard endlessly, and finally this jade-footed crane saliva was auctioned away at the price of seven hundred and eighty spirit stones.
"It's crazy, it's crazy, a bottle of crane saliva can fetch such a high price, I'm going to catch cranes in the future. Yan Qingqian's heart was pounding when she listened to the rising price, not that the price was terrifying, but that this thing had already sold a price that she thought was impossible.
When Jing Jue, Jia Jin, and Chen Li heard this, they all looked at Yan Qingqian with strange eyes.
"Hehe, I'm kidding. Yan Qingqian saw the three of them looking at her like that, and she was also a little uncomfortable, smiling awkwardly.
The first lot was sold, and the second lot was about to come out, and the old man summoned another woman, who was also holding a tray, on which there was a jade slip, faintly exuding spiritual light.
The old man said: "This is a set of boxing methods, called the eight-foot meteor fist, which is the Zhenzong fist method of the Meteor Sect, with a starting price of 1,800 spirit stones, and each increase shall not be less than 100 spirit stones." ”
"Isn't the Meteor Sect the third-rate sect that announced its dissolution not long ago?"
"I heard that this exercise is extremely profound, and no one in the Meteor Sect has practiced it in the past three hundred years. ”
"It's hard for those people to fight a basic boxing, naturally they can't practice this advanced boxing technique, this eight-foot meteor boxing, I want it, two thousand five hundred spirit stones!"
"Two thousand five also want to take this set of boxing techniques? I'll give three thousand!"
......
The three of Jing Jue are all from a wealthy family like the Heavenly Punishment Sect, and they are not short of exercises, and when they hear the exercises, they are all chatting blindly, and they don't even look at the exercises.
On the contrary, Chen Li listened to the quotations of all parties with relish, on the other hand, these three people had no interest in the Zhenzong exercises, and began to guess the origin of these three people.
In the end, the eight-foot Meteor Fist was sold for 5,800 spirit stones.
The third lot is a map, which records the route and time of a large caravan, which is actually a piece of news, which is of little use to ordinary people, but to this gang of thieves in this rabble city, it is very useful.
For a while, the atmosphere on the field was hot, and some people took out the spirit stones at the bottom of their boxes in order to compete for this map, and even Jing Jue sat opposite them, one dragon, two tigers and three leopards were all involved in the competition.
Eventually, the map was photographed by the one from the Dragons' Heads Society.
The auction continued, and when the fourth auction item came out, the three of them all stood up and looked down.
A woman appeared on the auction table, the woman had a beautiful face, and she was not much better than the sisters of the Yan family, but the woman's eyes were blank, her face was depressed, and she was slumped in an iron cage as soft as a bone.
"Today's furnace tripod can be a little different from the past, this woman's physique is very close to the body of Huiyin, friends who practice positive exercises, but you have to seize the opportunity, this Huiyin furnace tripod is not easy to find. The old man glanced around and smiled strangely.
"It's shameless to make a furnace as a woman!" Yan Qingqian heard a burst of anger, she never thought that one day people would be auctioned off like commodities.
"No, I need to get her out. Jing Jue couldn't look at it, and when he stretched his body, the momentum was almost about to emanate, and Yan Qingqian was also ready to help on the side, rolling up his sleeves.
Seeing this, Chen Li was frightened, this person was brought in by him, in case he got off, these people said to leave, but he couldn't go, so he hurriedly stepped forward and knelt in front of the two, and was about to cry and stop, but Jia Jin snorted coldly: "What are you doing?"
"What are you doing, naturally you want to rescue this innocent woman!" Jing Jue's face turned pale at this time.
Jia Jin snorted coldly: "Save her, don't put yourself in it when the time comes, look at the spiritual pressure emanating from here, not to mention there are more than a dozen masters in the foundation building period, you are destined to go and never return!"
"Then let's just do it and watch it, and we won't save it when we die?" Yan Qingqian looked at Jia Jin with a cold face.
"Why don't you save when you die, isn't this not dead, people must be saved, but definitely not now!" Jia Jin replied.
"You!" Yan Qingqian was about to retort, but Jing Jue also calmed down at this time, grabbed Yan Qingqian, gave him a reassuring look, and said, "Senior sister, just believe this crooked mouth, he must have an idea." ”
Yan Qingqian glanced at Jing Jue, sighed, and then locked his gaze on Jia Jin, and said, "If this woman has the slightest difference, I will not spare you!"
After saying that, he went back to sit down, lying on the table with his head buried in his hands, covering his ears with his hands, not wanting to see or listen to the scene of the auction hall at this time.
Indeed, the people in the auction hall at this time cheered loudly, and their eyes were locked on the body of the woman in the cage and scanned back and forth, with an obscene look on their faces, pushing the atmosphere of the entire auction to a new climax.
The woman looked desperately at the devilish face, with only two lines of tears left, and she didn't even have the strength to scream and scream.
Jing was desperate for the woman to be in such a state, his hands clenched into fists, there was a bone sound, and he gritted his teeth and said, "These beasts!"
"Hold your breath. Jia Jin hurriedly reminded Jing Jue at this time.
At this time, the five big and three thick men opposite them, that is, Chen Leopard, stood up, looked down with a smile, and roared loudly: "Don't worry about it, this Nizi, Lao Tzu is going to decide!"
"Chen Leopard, you've bought enough stoves, just give me this, what's the matter?" As soon as he finished speaking, there was another roar from the private room upstairs.
Immediately afterwards, a middle-aged man with a tall figure and dressed in a gorgeous costume also appeared in everyone's field of vision, it was the hall master of the Tiger Roaring Hall, Xu Yin.
"Tiger, it's not impossible for me to let you do other furnaces, but this girl, Lao Tzu likes it so much, why don't you sell me face?" Chen Leopard turned his head and looked at Xu Yin with a smile, and said like this.
"Chen Leopard, I have sold you a lot of face, I should return one this time, right?"
"Since you don't want to let go, let's make our own bids, so as not to hurt the peace. ”
"That's what I mean!" Xu Yin nodded, and shouted to the old man below: "Old man, hurry up and quote the starting price." ”
"The starting price! Four thousand spirit stones! Each increase must not be less than three hundred. The old man also said directly.
"I'll give eight thousand!" As soon as the old man finished speaking, Chen Leopard quoted directly, and he was stunned to directly double the starting price, and glanced at Xu Yin with a smile, looking like he was bound to win.
"Hehe, eight thousand wants to crush my old Xu, ten thousand, sixteen!" Ran Xu Yin also looked wealthy, and doubled the price, making everyone below speechless.
Gradually, the price of the two was raised, and the price of the woman was raised to 30,000.
"I'll give out 50,000 spirit stones!" At this moment, a clean and crisp voice sounded from below, breaking the deadlock between the two.
