Chapter 18: The Treasure Hunt

The auction conference came as scheduled, and the Treasure Pavilion, as the organizer, can be said to have shown twelve points of sincerity.

In order to accommodate more audiences, and in order to allow more people to buy their favorite items, the Treasure Pavilion specially borrowed one of their twelve star charts, the Twin Diagrams, from the Refining Sect. The auction venue was divided into two parts, one for the general audience and one for the monks.

The Treasure Pavilion also added the treasures on the first floor to the auction procession, and promised that the auction fee would not exceed two-thirds of the original price. This move really moved those buyers who were shy in their pockets.

There is a white jade table at the door, and behind the white jade table sits a middle-aged man with refined short hair, the middle-aged man is the steward of the Treasure Pavilion of Tianxiang County, who has been working for more than ten years, and has never made a mistake.

Before entering the auction, you must first receive a waist card at the door, the waist card is round, the front is engraved with the three words of the treasure pavilion, and the reverse side is a high-rise building, which is the headquarters of the treasure pavilion built in Zhongzhou. The middle-aged man handed over the waist card to everyone who was going to enter the auction, and charged some admission fees, which was considered the ticket requested by the Treasure Pavilion, and more from an unwritten rule, if you want to buy a reasonable price and excellent quality magic weapons and exercises in the Treasure Pavilion, you must pay a 'greeting fee'.

Only buyers who have actually paid the 'greeting fee' will be regarded as a true friend by the Treasure Chamber.

This is one of the trading rules of the Treasure Pavilion.

Zhou Tianshen's task this time was to bid for some herbs, and according to the order of arrival, he sat in the third row.

Zuo Su and Gu Zhiwen saw the young man with an iron bow on his back from Renfeng early in the morning, as well as a man and a woman following him, knowing that there was no hope, he pulled Gu Zhiwen to sit in the second row of the ordinary audience.

The boxing book that Tianyun Guojing entrusted Lu Anshi to auction was priceless, and with the colorful cloud pattern on the money bag that Tianyun Guojing handed over to Lu Anshi, the person in charge of the Treasure Pavilion quickly guessed Lu Anshi's identity and respectfully escorted him to the VIP seat.

In fact, the Treasure Pavilion can completely ignore the Xiangyun Kingdom behind the colorful cloud pattern, you must know that even in Zhongzhou, Huang Zhaozi Temple has to give them a little bit of thin face at the headquarters of the Treasure Pavilion, after all, the most inseparable thing for cultivators is the exercises and magic weapons, and it just so happens that the Treasure Pavilion is specialized in buying and selling these things.

If you offend the Treasure Pavilion, the largest trading organization on the mainland, then it means that if you want to buy the real thing in the future, you will have to pay several times more expensive than usual, and you may not be able to buy it in the end. It's just that in Chuzhou, Xiangyun is located in one of the five major countries, and it still has a certain right to speak, and courtesy is what businessmen should do.

There are a total of 10 seats in the VIP seats, which are not yet full at this time.

In addition to Lu Anshi, there was also a beautiful woman with long hair and a silk robe sitting in the VIP seat, a bald old man with bare chest and abdomen, thick eyebrows and big eyes, a tall man with oily hair and a pink face and a gorgeous dress, and a strong man in armor sitting on the far left, with his arms around his chest, not angry and arrogant.

Of the ten people who had previously appeared in the cloud-shading map, only four had now appeared.

The ten-person seats of the cloud-shading map and the ten-person positions of the VIP seats represent that in the eyes of the Treasure Pavilion, in the realm of Xianyang, there are only ten sect forces worthy of their attention.

Lu Anshi was a little nervous sitting in the VIP seat, but he was quickly relieved, because he found that not too many people noticed him, at least these fellow VIPs, absolutely no one would look at him more.

Different from Lu Anshi's embarrassment, Zhou Tianshen looked around with great joy, the dazzling stars in the sky flickered and dimmed, creating a mysterious enough atmosphere for the auction, he had already seen in the book, the twelve star charts were one of the treasures of the Zhenzong of the Refining Sect, and these twelve maps corresponded to the twelve star palaces in the sky.

Each star map has a different function.

The surroundings were already full of people, Zhou Tianshen noticed that on his left hand side was a bitter gourd-faced man with a wooden box, dressed almost like him, but with a big age difference, and on his right hand was a boy with a frontispiece, red lips and white teeth, and skin like congealed fat.

Brother Gongzi lowered his head to read a book, occasionally raised his head, and wiped the sweat from his sideburns.

The bitter gourd-faced man stared at the round platform in the center of the venue from beginning to end, without blinking his eyes.

Zhou Tianshen also noticed that the boy who couldn't let go of the scroll, when he looked down to read a book, his palms were always clenched into fists, and when he raised his head, he stretched out his fists again, so repeatedly, elusive.

Brother Gongzi suddenly turned his head to look at his left, he found that Zhou Tianshen did not have the slightest sign of anger when he peeked at himself, but moved the book in his hand in the direction of Zhou Tianshen in a good temper, Zhou Tianshen glanced at it roughly, it was just a very simple Zhiwei novel, there was one in his bamboo basket, but I don't know if his book is also called "Talking about Harmony", because according to the author, that book also has a postpart, but it is not as famous as the previous one.

Zhou Tianshen nodded to Brother Gongzi, and explained to him that there was also a book like this in his bamboo basket, Brother Gongzi immediately said that he wanted to change it, Zhou Tianshen took out the book from the bamboo basket, and Brother Gongzi couldn't put it down, "It's this one, I've been looking for it for a long time, where did you find it?"

Zhou Tianshen explained, "It's just a small study in the city, there should be something there, you can go and see it." ”

Brother Gongzi turned the page as a treasure and said excitedly, "Sure enough, it's his work, you know, I have read every book he wrote, it's really cool." ”

I didn't expect Brother Gongzi to say such words.

At this time, the auction has begun, and the red-haired man on the round platform copied yesterday's opening remarks, introducing the auction items as always, just when everyone was bidding fiercely, Brother Gongzi lowered his head and looked at the book seriously, as if he had forgotten about the auction.

In the middle of the auction, the herbs that Zhang Yunan asked for began to show up, and Zhou Tianshen spared no effort to compete with other buyers, and finally auctioned off those herbs at the highest price, although the price was higher than the seller's expectation, but it was still within Zhou Tianshen's affordability.

After that, there were also four pills in the auction, one pill of ninety-one and one pill of eighty-one, all of which were refined by an alchemist named Gu Laoliu, because the pills were scarce, so even if there were only four pills, they still put a huge price, and finally these two pills were bought by the bald old man sitting in the VIP seat at a price of 80,000 silver.

The seventh auction item is the big explosion bow that makes Zuo Plastic's soul unguarded, and as he expected, the iron bow boy bought the big explosion bow at a price of 100,000 silver, and the auction has been carried out until now, and finally the first treasure with a price of 100,000 has finally appeared.

The crowd cheered.

The eighth treasure is a fist book called "King Kong Demon Fist", the price is 50,000 silver, and the price of each auction is 5,000 silver. When Lu Anshi shouted out 50,000 silver for the first time, the audience was silent, and his palms were covered with sweat.

I don't know if it's because of the VIP seat, no one bids for the boxing book, because many people know what kind of identity the people sitting there have, and there is no reason to offend those high-ranking people for the sake of a boxing book.

You must know that the reason why the big exploding bow was sold at such a high price just now was that in addition to the special identity of the forger, there were more people who were driving up the price, which was also a means for the seller. It's just that to the seller's surprise, the young man with the iron bow who can pay a high price of 100,000 yuan did not sit in the VIP seat, but in a corner.

The seller immediately arranged for manpower, and asked them to find out the identity of the young man, if he was a young leader of a high family, even if he gave him the bow, wouldn't it be better if he could make a relationship because of this.

The young man with the iron bow looked in the direction of the seller with a sharp heart, he lowered his head and whispered, only the people around him could hear his voice, "We still have to be low-key this time." ”

The woman beside him put the back of her hand on her lips and chuckled, "Childe, if you really want to keep a low profile, why do you spend so much money, a broken bow, and grab it." ”

The man was quite dissatisfied with the woman's remarks, and frowned, "Who do you think of Childe?

The woman lowered her arms and lay on the seat, which was really full of twists and turns, "Childe is not, and neither are you?"

The man quietly swallowed his saliva and stopped talking.

Zhou Tianshen wasn't sure if he should remind Brother Gongzi that if he missed what he wanted to buy because of a book, he would think it was his responsibility.

Zhou Tianshen gently poked Brother Gongzi's thin waist, Brother Gongzi raised his head numbly, his eyes narrowed slightly, Zhou Tianshen said, "You don't buy anything?"

Brother Gongzi rubbed his eyes, and his tone was a little tired, "No need, what I want to buy has already been taken care of." ”

Zhou Tianshen snorted.

Brother Gongzi returned the book to Zhou Tianshen, stretched a big lazy waist, and said with a sigh, "Reading books with your brain is really a brain-consuming thing." ”

Brother Gongzi actually fell asleep.

Zhou Tianshen no longer cares about Brother Gongzi's strange words and deeds, because there is a fierce competition for treasures in the auction now.

The ninth treasure is a Xuantie sword, as soon as the sword comes out, who competes, before the red-haired man can say its bidding price, I saw that all the buyers in the front row stood up, held the number plate in their hands, and shouted their prices loudly.

For a moment, the auction was in chaos.

The cries of selling and quarreling are endless.

"I will pay 200,000 pieces of silver, and I will see who is more expensive than me. ”

"Come on, you, 200,000 dare to come out to meet people, I'll give 300,000. ”

"You are all younger brothers, and I will pay 500,000. ”

"A million!"

Suddenly, a loud shout shook everyone, and everyone looked at the sound.

I saw a fat boy who was richly dressed, wearing gold and silver, and hugged left and right, stood up, and behind him stood an old man with a white beard, and on the left and right sides of the old man stood a scholar, and the scholar held an account book and an abacus in his hand.

The fat boy brother asked behind him, "Butler, how much money do we have now?"

The old man trembled and knocked on the abacus, his eyes were extremely bad, and he almost stuck it on the account book, and after a long time, he raised his head, and his voice came from the empty mouth, "Young master, don't worry, we still have a lot of money." ”

The fat boy sat down satisfied, and continued to hug his confidante, smiling.

The others, who had been shouting so much just now, sat down with their heads wilted.

"It turned out to be the eldest son of the Datuo family. ”

Unexpectedly, he also came. ”

"Well, how am I going to go back on my errand? ”

For a while, there were many bitter voices.

They are also here to show off their power for the master behind them, and they have a lot of money, and now they haven't bought a sword, although they won't lose their lives, but being scolded is indispensable.

The red-haired man was a little overjoyed, he didn't expect that in such a poor and remote place, there would be such a rich wrongdoer.

The auction continues.

The treasures in the back are all sold by some treasure pavilions themselves, after all, it is impossible to meet such a valuable treasure as the Xuantie Sword every day, let alone have too much inventory, and even if there is, it is impossible to sell them all at once.

"Okay, without further ado, now we have the most important item of this auction. The red-haired man set off the atmosphere as always, "This treasure can be said to be the most eye-catching and unexpected, that is, the Soul Refining Dafa "Heavenly Aspect Great Language" contributed by the Necromantic Clan. ”

The red-haired man pulled open the red cloth, and a purple-black wave suddenly spread out from the center of the field, constantly impacting the eyes of the twin figures, and everyone was almost immediately affected by the impact of the wave, some of the infirm fainted directly to the ground, and even worse, began to spit blood in their mouths, in pain. The red-haired man didn't expect that this book would have such great power, his eyes quickly covered with red cloth, the waves disappeared, his eyes stopped trembling, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

It stands to reason that the red-haired man is closest to the book, and he should be the most affected, but on the contrary, not only did he not feel any discomfort, but he felt as if something had been imprinted in his mind, dark and misty, and he couldn't see clearly.

At this time, the strong man in armor, who had been sitting at the end of the VIP seat, with his eyes closed, stood up and said loudly, "Everyone has seen that this "Heavenly Words" from the Necromantic Clan is simply an evil book, and getting it will only bring disaster......

The beautiful woman with long hair suddenly interrupted the strong man in armor, "What qualifications do you have to say such things?"

The strong man in armor looked at the beautiful woman condescendingly, pointing behind him, looking at those affected by the waves, "Aren't they enough to prove the harm of this book?"
