Chapter 163: Reviving the Demon City (11) Auction Venue
Sanxing Pavilion, the largest commercial building in Xingmo City.
The reason why it is the largest is because it not only sells all kinds of cultivation resources, but it is also the only commercial building controlled by the government, which is one of the most important economic sources for the top floor of the three clans.
Before the Sacred Flame Festival, the City Lord's Mansion would take the opportunity to hold a completely monopolistic and huge auction in order to earn a huge resource income.
It is said that it has a monopoly because the Holy Flame Festival will be held for three days, and during this period, only the Three Star Pavilion is allowed to sell cultivation resources and hold auctions, and other merchants in the same industry are prohibited from operating.
This is considered an overlord clause, but it is silently accepted by the entire Xingmo City, after all, it is difficult to maintain the expenses of the City Lord's Mansion and the energy consumption of the City Protector Array only by relying on the usual taxes.
Therefore, at this time, Xing Demon City is more lively, and those businesses that have stopped business will consciously take a holiday for themselves, and all participate in the atmosphere of these days.
"There are so many people here, it's so lively!"
Walking in the huge square outside the Samsung Pavilion, Bai Zhiqing said in surprise, and then a little lost, and muttered softly: "Brother Ziteng didn't come, it's a pity." ”
Seeing that Bai Zhiqing was still excited at first, but then she lowered her face, Uncle Tianjiu and the Bai family brothers felt a little funny in their eyes, but they just smiled, but they didn't speak, it seemed that they were deliberately hanging her.
But before he could go far, Bai Zhiqing asked out loud again: "Uncle Tianjiu, why didn't you say that Brother Ziteng didn't come with us, didn't he want to see and understand?"
What Bai Zhiqing said has her reasoning.
Not everyone can participate in an auction of this grade, because only people with a certain status can be qualified to enter the auction, such as the powerhouses above the Heavenly Soul Realm, the people of the human race and the demon race, and those businessmen and nobles.
And the Kanzhou City Lord's Mansion and the Bai family, where Bai Zhiqing is located, are all forces that hold the qualifications to enter this auction, and they can also bring a certain number of people in, after all, after getting any important treasures in the auction, they need to be guarded.
Bai Zhiqing was thinking that if Ziteng didn't come with her, she wouldn't be able to enter the auction site, so she felt a little pity.
Uncle Tianjiu also shook his head and said: "I don't know, Ziteng Xiaoyou only said that he still has important things to do, and he will find a way to come here later, but the others didn't say anything, and he went out with Jia Duoer early in the morning." ”
As soon as she heard that Zi Teng was leaving with Jia Duoer, Bai Zhiqing gently pursed her lips, feeling a little lost.
And at this time, the four of them had already walked to the gate of the Samsung Pavilion.
There are five floors in total.
The first to fourth floors are places to sell various resources such as pills, war weapons, gems, etc., and the resources of each floor are higher than the first, and each floor is a sales hall with a height of 100 meters and extremely luxurious, and only the fifth floor is the auction venue today.
Walking down the stairs to the entrance of the fifth floor, you will be greeted by a pearlescent gate, in front of which stood four tall and strong Huoli guards, and eight charming and enchanting women greeted each other with smiles.
Look at these women, all of them are tall and good-looking, most of their snow-like skin is exposed, and sometimes there is a hint of coquettishness, which makes men even feel crispy to the bones.
This is also the official arrangement of Xingmo City here, specifically responsible for receiving those VIPs, but the deeper intention is to stimulate the interest of those buyers and make it easier for them to raise the auction price.
After seeing that Uncle Tianjiu showed a sign of honor, one of the women enthusiastically led them into the hall and sent them to an independent private room on the upper floor.
The auction floor is also extremely spacious, with hundreds of people seated in the hall alone, but all of them are people with ordinary tablet seats.
On the second floor on both sides of the hall, there are 10 private rooms for VIPs.
And at every auction, the official will only give out ten VIP tablets, and Uncle Tianjiu holds one of them.
It didn't take much effort, but I saw that the woman who sent Uncle Tianjiu and the others into the private room walked back with a cold face, but she was driven out by Bai Zhiqing.
However, after the woman returned to her position, she immediately showed a mechanical smile again, and when she saw someone showing the VIP tablet again, she greeted her with a warm face.
There is no other reason, these women are also forced by life, in order to earn some cultivation resources, once they meet some generous high-rollers, they will often get a lot of income.
And, as long as the high rollers can afford to pay for it, they can provide any service in the private room.
However, one thing is that all the women who are responsible for receiving at auctions of this grade must be virgins.
In other words, to participate in this level of reception, they may only have one time in their lives.
The admission of the people participating in the auction was nearing the end, but in the No. 5 private room on the second floor, Bai Zhiqing was still pouting, glaring at the Bai family brothers fiercely, and said for a long time: "You two are really obscene, and you have lost the face of our City Lord's Mansion." ”
It turned out that just now, the Bai family brothers aimed at the woman who was in charge of the reception, posing like a beautiful and delicious pervert, and swallowed their saliva, and their eyes were about to pop out.
It was precisely because of this that Bai Zhiqing drove the woman out of the private room.
How dare the brothers of the Bai family answer, they all stood there with their heads bowed and sneered, but they couldn't stop regretting it in their hearts, as if they were a little reluctant, why did they drive people out?
"Hehe, Qing girl, don't teach them any more, these two boys are also strong-blooded, and I can't blame them. ”
Uncle Tianjiu chuckled lowly, and asked for help.
Unexpectedly, it was okay that he didn't speak, and when he spoke, Bai Zhiqing glanced at him fiercely, and said angrily: "Uncle Tianjiu, you are not much better than them, don't think that I didn't see it, and your eyes never left that woman's body." ”
"Uh......"
When Uncle Tianjiu heard this, he couldn't help but blow his beard, and he really regretted helping the Bai brothers say that, so he quickly turned around and pretended not to hear anything.
Seeing that the three of them were all dead pigs who were not afraid of boiling water, Bai Zhiqing was helpless for a while, secretly hating how there were such people around her, so she had to insert her hands and sit on the chair secretly angry, but muttered: "Brother Ziteng won't be like this here......"
"Boom. ”
Just then, I heard a bell ring outside, and the auction was about to begin.
Then, several people in the private room looked at the auction site through the windows on the wall.
The private rooms are fully furnished, with a window made of unknown material on the wall, so that you can see everything from the inside, but you can't see the things inside.
On the table in front of the window, a mirror-like jade stone is placed, and an empty image is displayed in the jade, which will allow the people in the private room to see the items to be auctioned up close when the auction begins.
And there is a special setting in this private room, which should be a formation arrangement, as long as the people in the private room make a sound, add a trace of magic soul power, so that people outside can hear it, and the room number outside the door will also shine, so that people outside can know which private room is coming out.
In short, it is not only for ease of operation, but also to protect the privacy of VIPs.
"Ladies and gentlemen, it is a pleasure to meet you again at this year's Flame Auction in Xingmo City......
Soon, the auction officially began, but it was a heroic woman who came to the stage, looking at that appearance, it was actually a little more beautiful than the women in charge of the reception room, although the dress was not as revealing as those women, but under the wrap of the brocade costume, the figure was even hotter.
Especially the lark-like voice, smart and crisp, revealing a coquettish taste, people can't help but have some hormones when they listen to it.
Everyone knows that this is another trick by the Xing Demon City officials to make a lot of money, but even if everyone knows it, they can't help but feel excited.
The woman first made an opening statement, but basically no one listened, and most of them listened to voices.
"Thank you. ”
After the woman finally gave a blessing in the direction of the field and each private room, she said: "There are fifteen auction items today, the first of which is a Horcrux, a blood-drinking war knife. ”
"What?"
"Horcruxes?"
"Why is the first thing a Horcrux?"
As soon as the woman's voice fell, there was an uproar in the venue, many people look at me, I look at you, it seems that there are still some people who don't believe it, there are fifteen items in today's auction, and this first one is a horcrux, so what level of treasure does it have to be next?
I saw that the woman stretched out her hand and pressed down, and when the field was quiet, she said again: "The Blood Drinking Battle Knife used to be the natal weapon of a Heavenly Demon Realm powerhouse of the Blood Clan, using blood as a drink, it can bless the user's combat power by ten percent, and a senior of the Blood Clan will stay here for auction, and the starting price will be 100,000 lower grade demon soul stones, and each time the price increases, it shall not be less than 10,000." ”
"Ten percent of the combat power, I want this knife, 120,000. ”
When the woman's voice fell, someone in the field immediately began to increase the price, and she was a strong man of a declining race.
"One hundred and thirty thousand. ”
But as soon as the man shouted, someone on the other side of the field immediately raised the price again.
"One hundred and forty thousand. ”
"One hundred and fifty thousand. ”
"One hundred and sixty thousand. ”
......
For a time, the bidding in the field continued.
It's no wonder that many cultivators of the same level compete, and the victory or defeat is only a millimeter, and a weapon that can bless ten percent of the combat power will indeed make many people covetous.
Anyway, it's just a Horcrux.
An ordinary Horcrux will not be sold at an official price of more than 200,000 lower-grade Demon Soul Stones, even if it is a Horcrux with special attributes that can bless combat power, it will not exceed 250,000, if it is more, it will be a little worthless.
Sure enough, when this weapon was called to 230,000, there was no sound in the field, and in the end, it was finally pocketed by the strong man who first bid the price.
This was to make a ripple in the hall, but as for the ten private rooms, there was no sound at all.
"Congratulations to this strong man for taking this picture. ”
For the 230,000 swords that were auctioned, the woman's face was calm, and she just habitually congratulated her, signaling a staff member to send the swords to the man and completing the transaction, and then waved her hand to send the second auction item.
"The second piece is two earth-grade mid-grade elixirs......"
"The third piece. ”
"The fourth. ”
"The fifth. ”
Until the fifth lot was auctioned, although the room was full of excitement, there was not a trace of movement in the ten private rooms, as if there had never been a person.
And when the sixth auction item appeared, the number on the upper floor that showed the number of the ninth private room lit up, and then a coquettish voice came out.
"A million low-grade Demon Soul Stones. ”
