Chapter 143: Auction
After resting in Shanhe Tower for a night, early the next morning, Tang Chen and Chen Jun followed Yu Renle to the Shanhe Auction Palace.
Speaking of which, this Shanhe Auction Hall is still the property of the Shanhe Sect, but according to the inside story revealed by Yu Renle, the Shanhe Sect is not the real owner of this auction hall, but is only entrusted with management.
And the real owner behind the auction hall is actually a big force from outside the wasteland, as for which force it is, Yu Renle doesn't know.
The Shanhe Auction Hall and the Shanhe Building are located in the central square of the Shanhe City, the Shanhe Building is on the east side of the square, and the auction hall is on the west side, which goes straight through the square.
When Tang Chen and the others arrived at the Mountain and River Auction Hall, because it was still early, there were not many people.
Yu Renle showed a VIP card, registered with the reception staff, and then led everyone into the auction hall with the usher.
From the reception hall, they passed through one of the many deep corridors, and then walked through an arc-shaped corridor, and finally came to a hidden door, on which were engraved the words "Wang Zi No. 3", which was obviously the number of this VIP room.
The usher pushed open the door, led them into the room, and said, "Senior brothers, this is your VIP room. ”
Then, she walked to the front wall, opened the curtain, and introduced: "Below is the auction hall, from here you can see the situation in the hall in all directions, and the wall in front of you has been blessed by the star array, and the situation in our room cannot be seen from the outside, and the soul consciousness is also isolated, so you don't have to worry about being snooped on by people outside." ”
Then he walked to the table in the middle of the room, pointed to a square star device on the table, and said: "If you fancy something good, you can use this star device to bid, just activate it with star power, and then enter your bid amount." ”
Tang Chen was curious, so he walked to the table and activated the bidding star, and a soft white light suddenly lit up on its screen, which displayed information such as "baby's current price" and "my bid", but the numbers behind these columns were zero.
The usher casually pressed the number button on the star device a few times, and there was a string of numbers behind the "I bid" column.
"Since the auction has not yet started, these things that are entered now cannot be validated. The usher explained.
Tang Chen nodded, indicating that he understood.
Subsequently, the usher briefly explained some of the rules of the auction to everyone, and then withdrew.
Tang Chen and the others sat around the table, chatting, waiting for the auction to officially start.
Through the transparent wall, you can see that people are constantly entering the auction hall below, most of whom are wearing special masks provided by the auction hall, which can be used to isolate the detection of soul sense, which is a kind of protection measure for customers in the auction hall to ensure that customers' identities are not revealed.
Tang Chen didn't have much confidence in the effectiveness of this mask, because he had already tried it himself, and his soul sense could penetrate this mask, as for whether others could do the same as him, it was unknown.
However, listening to Chen Jun and others, their soul consciousness was indeed unable to penetrate this mask, which showed that it still had some effect.
Half an hour later, the entire auction hall was full of people, and Tang Chen made a preliminary visual inspection, and there were two or three thousand people.
At this time, the time for the official start of the auction is getting closer and closer, and the auctioneer has already ascended to the high platform in the center of the hall and began to give enthusiastic speeches, trying to mobilize the atmosphere of the scene.
In addition, two young women with curvaceous figures and scantily dressed cooperating with the auctioneer's speech, twisting their waists and walking around the stage, throwing winks or throwing a flying kiss at the audience from time to time, causing the audience to laugh again and again, screaming, whistling, and laughing.
He Junwan and Xu Qingqing were in the VIP room, but they frowned.
Especially He Junwan, who kept shouting "shameless" there, and warned the men in the room not to look at it, which embarrassed Tang Chen, Chen Jun and others.
Fortunately, the pre-meeting warm-up lasted less than a quarter of an hour, and the auctioneer announced that the auction had officially begun.
The first lot to be pushed out was a high-end general, with a starting price of 200,000 Shi Baijing, and each increase was not less than 5,000 Shi Baijing, and after several rounds of bidding, it was finally auctioned at the price of 260,000 Shi Baijing.
The high-level generals are not very rare treasures, and everyone's enthusiasm is not very high.
Subsequently, several pieces of star weapons were auctioned, and they were basically auctioned off at a relatively reasonable price, and there was no crazy bidding.
Tang Chen and the others just came to see it, and they didn't plan to bid for anything, so they just watched it coldly, and when they saw a special lot, they would comment on it, but they never bid.
By this time, the atmosphere in the auction room was almost fully mobilized, and the auctioneers had finally begun to come up with something really sought-after.
"The next thing to be auctioned is an elixir that helps people break through the realm...... the auctioneer said in an appetizing tone, and deliberately bit the words "breakthrough realm" very hard, which immediately aroused everyone's curiosity.
For the star people, what they care about the most is not the star weapon, not the star rune, or the elixir, but their own cultivation realm.
The breakthrough of the cultivation realm not only means the improvement of strength, but also extends one's own lifespan, which is what almost every star person dreams of.
After successfully arousing everyone's curiosity, the auctioneer continued: "Realm Breaking Pill, I'm sure everyone has heard of it. However, what is going to be auctioned today is not the Realm Breaking Pill, but an elixir that has a better effect than the Realm Breaking Pill......
"Whoop......
Before the auctioneer could finish speaking, he was interrupted by the eruption of discussion from the audience.
"The elixir that helps people break through the realm, I've only heard of the Realm Breaking Pill, but I haven't heard of any other pills, you shouldn't be teasing us, right?" someone questioned.
"That's it, it even said that the effect is better than the Realm Breaking Pill, how can we believe it!" someone shouted in agreement.
“......”
The auctioneer looked at the noisy auction hall, was not in a hurry, just smiled, and when everyone was almost talking, he pressed his hands weakly, signaled everyone to be quiet, and said, "Don't worry, listen to me first."
To tell you the truth, before I saw this elixir, like everyone else, I didn't know that there were any other elixirs that could help people break through the realm, but after seeing this elixir, I was completely shocked, this elixir can not only help people break through the realm, but also have no side effects......"
"Whoop......
The auctioneer's words were once again interrupted by a more heated discussion.
Everyone knows that the Realm Breaking Pill has side effects, and every time you take it, it will increase the difficulty of breaking through the realm in the future, so you generally won't take it as a last resort.
But now, they actually heard that there is an elixir that can not only help people break through the realm, but also have no side effects, which means that they can take it without any scruples, and the more times they take it, the more opportunities they will naturally have to break through the realm, which is simply great news for them!
