Chapter 13 Baiyun Auction House
Coming out of the Yunxuan Medicine Shop, Xiao Baiyi looked around, pulled the hat lower, and walked towards his next target. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
A quarter of an hour later, Xiao Baiyi looked at the magnificent and simple building in front of him, which was no better than the previous Yunxuan Pharmacy, and there were five golden characters on the huge plaque, Baiyun Auction House.
That's right, this is his destination, the old man of the medicine shop told him that this Baiyun Auction House should have Nine Forging Grass, so he came here, this Baiyun Auction House, as the No. 1 auction house in Baiyun City, naturally has its own uniqueness.
Moreover, this Baiyun Auction House is jointly owned by the three major families of Baiyun City plus the City Lord's Mansion, but the person in charge is a person from the City Lord's Mansion, so no one dares to make trouble, after all, this is a place jointly run by the four strongest forces in Baiyun City, so it has always been a good reputation so far, and Tong Su has not been bullied.
As for this City Lord's Mansion, the status in Baiyun City is actually a little embarrassing, nominally Baiyun City is in charge of the City Lord's Mansion, but in fact, secretly everyone knows that the three major families are fighting against the City Lord's Mansion, and Baiyun City is also jointly managed by these four major forces.
However, the face on the surface still has to be given, so the three major families seem to obey the orders of the City Lord's Mansion in the eyes of the outside world, but in fact, they are all yang and yin, and Bai Xingzhi, the city lord of Baiyun City, also knows that none of these three families have a good thing.
Although it is not possible to completely control the entire Baiyun City, the three major families also restrain each other, so the entire Baiyun City seems to be stable now, and there is no collision on the surface, but what happens in private, this is not something that ordinary people can know.
And Xiao Baiyi, as the glory of the Xiao family, naturally often came to patronize this Baiyun Auction House, and he used to have a VIP card of Baiyun Auction House, but since he became a waste, he only went to the barren mountains outside the city every day, and he didn't even visit Baiyun City much, let alone this auction house.
And now that he is ready to hide his identity, it is naturally impossible to expose himself, so the VIP card naturally cannot be used.
Xiao Baiyi has his own ideas, and after a few days of auction, he can't wait.
On the day of Dabi, with his current cultivation, no matter how strong he is, it is impossible to get the first, after all, that Xiao Xinyi will also appear at that time.
Although Xiao Xinyi was not as talented as him at the beginning, he was also a rare genius in Baiyun City, two years ago Xiao Xinyi's cultivation was second only to him, and he was the second strongest of the younger generation of the Xiao family, and then he became a waste and could not cultivate, in the past two years, Xiao Xinyi was not idle, so with Xiao Baiyi's current cultivation, he was not sure at all.
Therefore, he has to seize all the time to make himself stronger, so naturally he can't waste these few days, and who knows if anyone will recognize him on the day of the auction, after all, he has always come here in the past, and he also has a certain reputation in Baiyun City, if he is recognized, it will be a little troublesome.
Therefore, in order to prevent these two things from happening, Xiao Baiyi had to see if he could buy the Nine Forging Grass before the auction, although this was a bit unruly, and the price would definitely be higher, but he could only do this.
Xiao Baiyi approached the Baiyun Auction House, which has three floors, and when he came to the hall on the first floor, a waiter came over and asked, "Your Excellency, may I ask what you are doing?"
Xiao Baiyi said: "I heard that there is an auction held in a few days, and I have an item that I want to auction. ā
When the waiter heard this, he immediately said, "Please come with me." So saying, he walked inside.
Xiao Baiyi followed the waiter straight forward in the middle of the first floor, then turned a few corners, came to the door of a room, and saw the waiter knocking lightly on the door and said, "Old Lin, there is a guest who wants to participate in our auction in a few days, and I would like you to appraise it." ā
At this time, an old voice came from inside the door: "Let the guests in, you go down." ā
The waiter responded respectfully, helped Xiao Baiyi open the door, and motioned for Xiao Baiyi to go in.
Seeing Xiao Baiyi enter, the waiter closed the door and retreated.
After Xiao Baiyi walked in, he first took a look at the structure of this room, this room is not big or small, surrounded by bookshelves, full of all kinds of books, there is a table in the middle of the house, there is a chair in front of the table and behind the table, and an old man sits behind the table.
The old man had an old face and gray hair, but his eyes were bright and bright, and he did not look old at all.
Xiao Baiyi knew that the person in front of him was the chief appraiser of Baiyun Auction House, Lin Cangshan and Lin Lao.
I didn't expect to be lucky enough to meet Lin Lao today, you must know that Lin Lao is not only the chief appraiser of Baiyun Auction House, but also the chief appraiser of the entire Baiyun City, he is more than 100 years old this year but does not look old at all because he is a congenital powerhouse!
That's right, this Lin Lao is a congenital powerhouse, but he is peaceful, and his hobby is to identify all kinds of things, plus his strength is strong, so he has a lot of prestige in Baiyun City, and the things he identifies are very convincing.
Xiao Baiyi naturally saw Lin Lao, he was praised by Lin Lao, after his accident, his grandfather Xiao Zhanpeng also invited Lin Lao to Xiao's house, because he was well-informed, he wanted to ask him if there was any way to treat Xiao Baiyi.
But it's a pity that Lin Lao is also extremely sorry for what happened to a genius like Xiao Baiyi, but he still has nothing to do, so this parting is two years, and now it's a matter of time to see each other again.
In front of this, Xiao Baiyi made himself more calm, for fear that he would be discovered by exposing his horse's feet.
Lin Lao smiled at this time and pointed to the chair in front of the table and said: "Please sit, in Xia Lin Cangshan, may I ask what Your Excellency wants to auction?" Your Excellency can rest assured, only you and I know about today's affairs, and it will never be passed on to a third party, this is the reputation of our Baiyun Auction House, and Your safety is very guaranteed." ā
Xiao Baiyi came to Lin Lao and sat down, and came to him, Xiao Baiyi was not nervous, the whole person calmed down, hugged his fists at Lin Lao and said: "I'm sorry Lin Lao, I don't have anything to participate in the auction, I have another purpose." ā
Hearing this, Lin Lao's eyes narrowed, stared at Xiao Baiyi and said in a deep voice: "Your Excellency, is this playing tricks on me Baiyun Auction House, deceiving me that there is no one in the auction house?" ā
Xiao Baiyi felt a momentum rushing towards him, he knew that this was the momentum of an innate powerhouse, but fortunately, he had already prepared, concentrated, and used the breathing method, and the whole person was faintly one with heaven and earth, so there was no gaffe under Lin Lao's momentum.
This Lin Lao saw that Xiao Baiyi had no reaction, and he couldn't help but be secretly surprised in his heart, when did there be another innate powerhouse in Baiyun City, why had he never heard of it.
At this time, he heard Xiao Baiyi say: "Don't be angry, Lin Lao has no intention of deceiving your auction house, but there are some hardships, if you don't use this method, I'm afraid it won't be possible." ā
Lin Lao's gray eyebrows raised and said, "Oh? Then I want to hear what the trouble is." ā
Xiao Baiyi opened his mouth and said: "That's the case, I heard that your auction house has a Nine Forging Grass to be auctioned at the auction in a few days, I don't know if it's right?"
Lin Lao nodded and said, "Yes, there is such a thing. ā
Xiao Baiyi continued at this time: "I want to buy this Nine Forging Grass now, I don't know if it's okay?"
When Lin Lao heard this, he slowly spoke: "Your Excellency, you know, this is not in line with the rules of our auction house. ā
Xiao Baiyi nodded: "I know, but there is also a reason for the matter, you can offer more prices, and I hope that Lin Lao will be perfect." ā
After speaking, he got up and hugged his fist at Lin Lao.
Lin Lao got up at this time, waved his hand at Xiao Baiyi and said, "Your Excellency doesn't need to be like this, we still have to ask the opinion of the master of the Nine Forging Grass in this matter." ā
Xiao Baiyi said: "This is how it should be." ā
Lin Lao motioned for Xiao Baiyi to sit down first, and then he himself sat down, and said, "Okay, Your Excellency, wait a minute, I'll contact the owner of this Nine Forging Grass first." ā
Then he took out an object from the storage ring, this is a jade talisman, there is something painted on it like graffiti, Xiao Baiyi knows, this is a transmission note, the general transmission note can communicate with each other within a radius of a hundred miles, this should be given by the owner of the Nine Forging Grass, in order to let the auction house contact him when something happens.
Unexpectedly, the owner of this Nine Forging Grass is not an ordinary person, and the transmission note is not something that everyone can have, although it is not particularly precious, but it is not rare in Baiyun City.
After a while, Xiao Baiyi saw that Lin Lao put away the transmission note, and said to Xiao Baiyi with a smile: "I have replied to Your Excellency, the owner of the Nine Forging Grass said that it can also be traded privately, but after all, it is a broken rule, so the price may be slightly higher." ā
Xiao Baiyi said: "It's okay, this is as it should be, I don't know what price is needed?"
Lin Lao pondered for a moment, glanced at Xiao Baiyi, and said, "Two low-grade true yuan stones." ā
Xiao Baiyi's eyes under the hat froze, and he said in a deep voice: "Old Lin, do you know what the concept is, a Nine Forging Grass that is very likely to be ignored by no one has any effect in itself, and it actually offers two low-grade True Yuan Stones, don't you think it's too much." ā
Lin Lao smiled bitterly at this time: "Your Excellency, this has nothing to do with me, this price is set by this master, and I am just responsible for conveying it." ā
Xiao Baiyi didn't say anything when he saw this, indeed, his private purchase was really a bit unruly, but it was really a bit of a lion to ask for two low-grade true yuan stones.
You must know that in the world, silver is the transaction currency between ordinary people, between cultivators, it is generally traded with spirit stones, and the spirit stones are divided into lower grades, middle grades, and upper grades according to the amount of spiritual energy contained in them, and the spirit stones contain pure heaven and earth aura, which can be directly absorbed and used by cultivators, and are the basic currency for cultivators to see transactions.
And a high-grade spirit stone is equal to a hundred, and a medium-grade spirit stone is equal to a thousand lower-grade spirit stones, and the spirit stones are generally used as a transaction currency between cultivators in the three realms of foundation building, and a low-grade spirit stone is worth thousands of taels of silver.
As we all know, the reason why a strong person in the Soul Melting Realm is called the first step to truly become a cultivator is because the aura in the body of a cultivator in the Soul Melting Realm will be transformed into a purer true element, and the True Yuan Stone is the stone that contains the true element, which can be directly absorbed and utilized by the strong above the Soul Melting Realm, without the need to transform like absorbing the aura of heaven and earth, and it can save the cultivator's life at a critical moment.
And the True Yuan Stone is also the currency used for the transactions of cultivators above the Melting Spirit Realm, according to the different degrees of purity and weight of the True Yuan contained in it, it is divided into lower grade, middle grade, upper grade, best grade, earth grade, and heavenly grade, and the conversion system is the same as the spirit stone, it is also a ratio of one to one hundred, even if it is the lowest level of the lower grade True Yuan Stone, it is enough for a strong person in the early stage of congenital use for a while.
Spirit stones and true yuan stones can also be exchanged, but only a thousand high-grade spirit stones can be exchanged for a low-grade true yuan stone, and there is no market!
And in Baiyun City, a city where the highest combat power is only innate powerhouse, most items are traded in silver taels and spirit stones, because the true yuan stone is too precious, so it is very rare to buy and sell with the true yuan stone as currency, so Lin Lao also knows that the master of the Nine Forging Grass is a bit too much to ask.
Seeing that Xiao Baiyi was silent there without saying a word, and Lin Lao didn't speak, for a while, the atmosphere between the two was a little awkward.
