Text Chapter 256 The Only Auction Item
Li Yi and Tang Jing left the inn and walked straight towards the south of the city.
Unlike the bustling and lively rest of the city, the south of the city is silent, with black lights and no human figure in sight on the narrow streets.
When the two came to an alley, Tang Jing suddenly took out two Xuantie masks and said in a low voice: "This is what I used when I used to escape, let's take one by one, so as not to be recognized!"
Although it was unlikely that he would be recognized in the Fire-weary Country, Tang Jing still felt that it was better to be cautious, after all, it was difficult to guarantee that he would not meet a loose cultivator who had been to the Blue Moon Country.
Li Yi shook his head and said, "I don't need to." As he spoke, he had already turned into a yellow-skinned teenager, looking like he was about to be terminally ill.
"I forgot!" Tang Jing smiled, putting on one mask, and the other was still put away.
Passing through the alley, turning a corner, and another alley, after walking for a while, I came to a courtyard outside, with two lanterns hanging in front of the door, and an old man hunched over stood underneath, with his hands in his sleeves, squinting, as if he was asleep.
Tang Jing looked around, showing a somewhat suspicious look, and asked, "Old man, this is the place where the auction will be held tonight?"
The old man didn't hear it, and he didn't even lift his face.
"Could it be that he is deaf?" Tang Jing muttered, "How can you call a deaf person to come to the door, it's really strange!"
Li Yi said lightly: "He is not deaf. As he spoke, he took out the storage bag that had been prepared from his bosom and handed it over.
It contained two million spirit stones.
The old man stretched out his hand to take it, and did not open it to check it, but just put it in the palm of his hand and weighed it, and said in a hoarse voice: "Please come in!"
As soon as the words fell, the courtyard door rippled with a soft light, squeaked, and slowly opened.
Li Yi arched his hand and walked into the courtyard.
"How do you know he's not deaf?" Tang Jing said curiously.
Li Yi said: "Because when you scolded him for being deaf just now, the breath in his body fluctuated, if I hadn't taken out the spirit stone in time, I'm afraid he would have made a move on you!"
Tang Jing stuck out his tongue and said with a smile: "The old guy has a lot of temper!"
The door opened, and inside was a hall, brightly lit, but empty.
The two of them walked into the hall, and another door appeared on the opposite wall, which slowly opened, and it was still an empty hall inside, and so they passed through seven doors in a row before they reached a dimly lit hall.
Inside was sparse and sparse, there were more than a dozen people sitting, almost all of them were old men with white beards, luxurious clothes, a grandmaster atmosphere, it seemed to have a great background, their faces showed arrogance, sitting on the chairs, not moving, ignoring each other, only when they heard movement at the door, they glanced over.
Tang Jing is not wearing a mask, but Li Yi's appearance seems a little out of place with everyone.
When everyone saw that the person who came was a terminally ill young man, they were stunned for a moment, and then they looked playful, with a trace of disdain in their eyes.
On the high platform in front of him, there was a tall middle-aged man, wearing a black robe, a Chinese face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a deep and sharp gaze, looking at Li Yi and the others, nodding and smiling, and said, "Please take a seat!"
The two sat down in two empty seats in the middle of the first row.
"This son is the best, see clearly!" Tang Jing chuckled in a low voice.
The looks of others are even more strange.
At this moment, the black-robed middle-aged man suddenly stepped down from the stage and said lightly: "These two seats are specially reserved for distinguished guests, are they also invited guests?"
The others burst out laughing.
In particular, the four old men on the right in the first row laughed the loudest.
Tang Jing was annoyed and angry, and said coldly: "There are so many seats, do you still have to stipulate where you can sit and where you can't sit?"
The black-robed middle-aged man said in a calm tone: "Although there are many seats, they are not casual to sit, the two of you should sit in the last row!"
Tang Jing was even more annoyed, and couldn't help but want to have a seizure, but was pulled by Li Yi.
"Let's come to see the excitement anyway, it's the same wherever we sit!" Li Yi said lightly.
Amid the laughter of the crowd, the two moved from the first row to the last row.
Tang Jing was still unwilling, and said indignantly: "It's really hateful for dogs to look down on people!"
"These people are all big people with great backgrounds, how can we compare with them? Let us sit in the last row, it is also a reasonable thing!" Li Yi didn't take it too seriously.
He is different from Tang Jing, as a concubine and a criminal minister, he grew up in humiliation since he was a child, and after experiencing many winds and waves, his heart has long been calmed down, but Tang Jing is the prince of the Blue Moon Country, and he has been pampered since he was a child, although the country is now ruined, he still can't completely let go of the prince's shelf.
If someone dared to let him sit in the last row before, I'm afraid he would have already made a fuss, and it is really commendable to be able to compromise at this time.
Soon, silence returned to the hall.
Li Yi urged Di to listen to the supernatural powers, but he heard a lot of voices.
In the depths of the main hall, there were hundreds of breathing sounds hidden, although they were slight and separated by a thick floor, they were still captured by Li Yi.
After he stepped into the Qiankun Realm, the power of the Divine Hearing Divine Power was also greatly increased, and many subtle vibrations in the air could not escape his ears.
"What is this auction going to auction that is so heavily guarded?" Li Yi's curiosity in his heart was even stronger.
At this time, a voice like a mosquito came into Li Yi's ears.
"Boss, the two boys in the back, listening to their accents, it seems that they have just come to the Fire Disgusting Country, after the auction is over, do you want to send someone to investigate them?"
Li Yi's heart moved, and he followed the prestige and looked at the four old men sitting on the right side of the first row.
All four of them had their lips closed and their expressions were indifferent, and none of them looked like they were talking.
"Sound Transmission Technique?" Li Yi quickly thought of something.
Sound transmission is a technique that can convey sound through true qi, and only those who have cultivated extremely advanced can succeed in cultivating.
Li Yi had heard of this exercise, but he didn't have the opportunity to practice.
However, although the sound transmission technique is mysterious, it is not as good as the truth listening supernatural power, Li Yi's truth listening supernatural power can hear the most subtle vibrations in the air, and the essence of sound transmission is to convey the sound through the vibration of true qi, so naturally it can't hide it from Li Yi.
"No need, two kittens and puppies, it's just curiosity, come in and watch the excitement, don't pay attention to it, our opponent is someone else!"
"Yes, fourth, you have to concentrate, this auction cannot be missed, that thing is very important to our Sixiang Pavilion, if something goes wrong, it will be bad!"
"But this time, the opponents are not all ordinary people, we finally got 20 million spirit stones, I don't know if we can win the bid?"
"How many people in this world can take out 20 million spirit stones? Although some people have so much net worth, it is impossible for him to put all his net worth up, right?
"It turns out that they are the four great pavilion masters of the Four Elephant Pavilion!" Li Yi couldn't help but show a hint of a smile.
"What are you laughing at?" asked Tang Jing.
Li Yi said: "It's nothing, I just remembered an interesting thing." ”
Participating in auctions is often strategic, and the most important point is not to let competitors know their bottom line, and at the same time try to test the bottom line of competitors as much as possible, so as to win at the lowest cost.
"The Four Elephant Pavilion is not to be afraid!" Li Yi thought secretly.
Originally, he didn't have the bottom in his heart, and he didn't know what price others could get, but at this time, his confidence was doubled, although 20 million spirit stones were a lot, but he could still take them.
In the following hour, people entered the main hall one after another, and the number of people in the main hall also increased to more than thirty.
However, the two seats in the middle of the first row are still empty.
"I wonder who they specially invited?" Li Yizheng speculated to himself, and two more people walked in.
Seeing these two people, Li Yi's face couldn't help but change, and there was a commotion in the hall, and everyone's eyes fell on the two of them.
"Bai Mei and Xin Du?" Li Yi frowned, "How did the two of them come here?"
As the emperor of the Fire Disgusting Country, Xin Du has a noble status, and it stands to reason that he will not come to participate in any auction in person, let alone Bai Mei, as the leader of the Qinglong Battalion, he was defeated by Li Yi and the Five Nations Alliance not long ago, and fled north in a hurry, but he didn't expect to go south again, and he also reconciled with Xin Du, which is really too abnormal.
Tang Jing was also taken aback, but fortunately there was a mask to cover it up, so he didn't attract attention.
"The Five Kingdoms have actually colluded with the Zhennan Wangfu again, the situation seems to be a little bad!" Tang Jing said in a low voice.
Li Yi said: "They shouldn't have discovered us yet, maybe like us, they are just here for the auction, and they will be improvised!"
Although he was calm on the surface, he was actually a little worried in his heart.
If it comes to fighting alone, Bai Mei and Xin Du are not Li Yi's opponents, but when the two join forces, they are enough to compete with Li Yi, not to mention that this is the capital of the Fire Disgusting Country after all, and it is the territory of Xindu, as long as he gives an order, I am afraid that the people in the whole city will attack Li Yi and the others.
At that time, it was really difficult to beat four hands with two fists, and with the safety of Biying and others, it was even more dangerous, and it should not be taken lightly.
Almost all of the people who participated in this auction were big names, who didn't care about each other, and they were all very arrogant, but as soon as Xin Du appeared, everyone had complicated expressions and began to exchange glances, and some people bowed to Xin Du.
As for Bai Mei, except for Li Yi and Tang Jing, no one recognized him, and he thought it was Xin Du's subordinates, and no one paid too much attention to it.
The two of them sat down in the empty seat in the middle of the first row.
The black-robed man on the high platform said with a straight face: "Your guest has arrived, bring the things up!"
Out of the inner hall came a young girl with a plate in her hand, which was covered with a black cloth.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this is the only auction item in this auction!" said the black-robed man as he lifted the black cloth.
In the main hall, there was an exclamation!
