Chapter 12: The Auction (Part I)
Concentrating on making the magic talisman in the small courtyard for two days, Chu Li obviously felt the increase in his mental power, and touched the storage bag on his waist again, Chu Li showed a satisfied smile. After not going out for two days, Chu Li looked a little sloppy, and even had a trace of blood on his body, so he washed it well, Chu Li put on a new set of clothes, and went out, today is the day when Wanbao Pavilion holds an auction.
The auction of Wanbao Pavilion this time is a big day once a year for Wanbao Pavilion, and the large and small forces of the entire Qingyang City will send people to participate, as the largest exchange in the Wuji Continent, whether it is to acquire the items that are then auctioned and then put them up for auction, or to help others auction and charge fees, they can make Wanbao Pavilion earn a lot of money.
Heavenly treasures, cultivation exercises, elixir artifacts, talisman seals, etc. can all be auctioned at Wanbao Pavilion, of course, Wanbao Pavilion that is too low-level is not looked down upon, and it will not be put at auction. Before the auction began, Chu Li found Xiaolian who had received him before, and directly took out five hundred Shenxing talismans, which directly stunned Xiaolian, opened his eyes wide, and covered his mouth with his small hand so that he didn't shout.
It's not that the Shenxing rune is precious, but that so many numbers really shocked Xiaolian, you know, the success rate of the first-level rune master is very low, and the high-level rune master will not waste time on this low-level rune, which makes it difficult to receive so many Shenxing runes on the market at one time.
"Childe, there are too many of these divine talismans, and it is no longer for a little girl to call the shots. As a last resort, Xiaolian invited out the deacon Han Lao who she had seen before,
"A group of 100 sheets, 5,000 spirit stones per group, there is no cap, the one with the highest price will get it, and our Wanbao Pavilion still charges 10% of the handling fee. Han Lao was obviously much calmer, and after pondering for a while, he gave an offer, Chu Li nodded and agreed, this price is also fair, and the usual transactions in the market are also fifty to sixty spirit stones, after all, the rune seal is very money-burning, and after using it, it is a piece of waste paper, no, even waste paper will not be left, and the yellow rune paper will be directly shattered because it can't withstand the aura of heaven and earth.
The first and second floors are the places where the Wanbao Pavilion sells items to the outside world, and the third floor is the venue for the auction, which is much larger than it looks from the outside, and in the middle is a platform, and there is a seat in front of the platform, which can sit more than 100 people, and there is a circle of private rooms directly above the hall, which gives the representatives of the major forces a rest, and you can look at the scene of the hall condescendingly in the box.
There was still half an hour before the auction began, Chu Li picked a corner position and sat down, there were only a dozen people scattered in the hall, and there were still people coming in one after another, compared to the downstairs like a free market, the upstairs box seemed much taller, and each box had a special maid to lead into the box.
After half an hour, Han Lao, who had received Chu Li before, walked onto the platform and gently knocked on the copper hammer in his hand, attracting everyone's attention, "In Xia Hanfeng, on behalf of Wanbao Pavilion, welcome everyone's coming, I wish you all the best to buy your favorite things." As he spoke, he bowed around.
"Today is the annual event of Wanbao Pavilion, I believe everyone can't wait, then I won't be verbose, let's start today's auction!" Han Feng clapped his hands, and a maid dressed in white came up to the stage, holding a mahogany tray in her hand, covered with a red cloth.
Han Feng grabbed the corner of the red cloth with his right hand and lifted it up gently, revealing a small turquoise bottle, "The second-grade high-grade elixir, the Rejuvenation Pill, has an excellent therapeutic effect on the monk's injuries, and at the critical moment, it can even be said to be a life-saving elixir." Han Feng struck the hammer and started today's auction. "The five hundred spirit stones are auctioned, and there is no cap. ”
"It's a shame, it's cheaper. Chu Li couldn't help but be annoyed when he found that the pill sold on the stage was actually the same as the Rejuvenation Pill he sold to Chen Muxue. Second-level pills, the monks of the innate realm would have prepared a few, if it weren't for Chen Muxue's storage bag being taken away by Zhang Yueshun, there would be no need to meet Chu Li to stabilize the injury.
"Five hundred and fifty spirit stones!"
"Six hundred!"
"Seven hundred!"
Every time the price increase made Chu Li's flesh hurt, "I knew that the pill was so expensive, I should have ordered more spirit stones in the first place!"
"Seven hundred spirit stones, is there any more price increase?" Han Feng watched the scene freeze and hurriedly asked. "Seven hundred and one times, seven hundred and two times, seven hundred spirit stones three times! Okay, congratulations to this Taoist friend for taking a picture of the Rejuvenation Pill, and please go to the backstage to get the pill and clear the spirit stone. ”
The rule of Wanbao Pavilion is that the stage is only responsible for the auction, and the real transaction still has to go to the backstage, handing over the spirit stones with one hand and the items with the other. Over the years, there are still very few people who dare to repay their accounts in Wanbao Pavilion, and those who can enter the auction have already shown that they have a certain net worth, so they are not afraid that you will not be able to take out the spirit stone. Besides, unless you don't want to mess around in the Wuji Continent, you will always be blacklisted by Wanbao Pavilion, or even killed on the spot.
The auction was very fast, and after a while, five or six items were auctioned, and the auctioned ones were naturally happy, and the ones that were not bought were a little disappointed. The maid brought up another spear, "This gun is called the Black Jiao Spear, a second-grade high-grade spiritual weapon, with a starting price of five thousand spirit stones!"
Chu Li looked at it carefully, and couldn't help but feel funny, just because the black spear that originally had no name was actually called a black spear, and people who didn't know the origin looked at it at a glance, and the whole thing was really like a dragon. What Chu Li didn't expect was that at the end of the gun body, the word "Heijiao" was really decently engraved.
The use value of aura is very high, even if it is not used in the end, it can be sold to other people, so the price of a good spiritual weapon is also much higher. Obviously, someone present took a fancy to this black Jiao gun, and the price quickly rose to eight thousand spirit stones, and then it was bought by a strong man, Chu was overjoyed, in addition to the handling fee handed over to Wanbao Pavilion, he could also get seven thousand two hundred spirit stones, but what made Chu Li really interested was how many spirit stones those five hundred Shenxing talismans could be sold for.
Really thinking about something, Han Feng's voice interrupted Chu Li's train of thought. "Here are some divine talismans, a group of one hundred, starting at five thousand spirit stones, and the one with the highest price will get it. ”
At this time, it can be seen whether the people present are casual cultivators, and casual cultivators will not spend so many spirit stones on the divine talisman at one time, you must know that a second-grade spiritual weapon is only 8,000 spirit stones. But the people of the family sect are different, they may not be able to use it, but they have many juniors who will use the Divine Talisman, and if they distribute it, one person can't get a few, so it is the family of Qingyang City who bid a few times.
"Seven thousand five. A box upstairs also made a bid, this was the first time that the people in the box had bid, but with his bid, the people in the hall quieted down and did not dare to bid again, obviously for fear of offending the people in the box.
"Eight thousand!" another box shouted out the price.
"Jin Shao is so interested, in this case, my Chen family also came to join in the fun, eight thousand and one spirit stones. A female voice came out of the box on the left, and Chu Li showed a weird smile when he heard it, this voice was all too familiar to him, it was the voice of Chen Muxue, the eldest lady of the Chen family. But in an instant, he understood what Chen Muxue meant: the bid was not for anything else, but just to disgust Jin Wansheng.
"Hmph, I advise Miss Chen not to join in the fun, let's go home early to take care of Father Ling!" Jin Wansheng snorted coldly and said, "Nine thousand spirit stones!"
"Don't worry about it, my father is very good now, nine thousand and one spirit stones. ”
"Ten thousand!" Jin Wansheng shouted through gritted teeth.
"Hehe, Jin Shao is so generous, for the sake of the descendants of the family, he is actually willing to buy 10,000 spirit stones to buy a hundred first-class divine talismans, my Chen family really admires, admires, so I won't rob Jin Shao. Chen Muxue's laughter came from the box, but there was no bid.
"You!" Jin Wansheng obviously thought of it, Chen Muxue just wanted to disgust himself by raising the price so much.
"Congratulations to Young Master Jin for winning a hundred Divine Talismans. Han Feng spoke out at this time to stop Jin Wansheng who wanted to be angry, of course, he was not afraid that Jin Wansheng would make trouble, there was no precedent of reversing after reporting the price in Wanbao Pavilion, Han Feng knocked lightly with a small hammer, and the deal was completed.
