Chapter 175: Treasure Appreciation Begins

Zhang Xiaoshan sat cross-legged on the futon, staring intently at the huge floating platform. When the time comes, countless treasures will be put on the platform for sale.

After waiting for another stick of incense, a man's voice suddenly sounded in the space.

"Welcome all fellow Daoists who have traveled thousands of miles to come here!" the man said, "I will prepare a little wine today, and please taste it." The Treasure Auction Conference is about to start, please don't be anxious!"

Zhang Xiaoshan was surprised to find that on the table that was empty just now, there were three plates of fruit food, as well as wine glasses and wine jugs. The Five Temples are cleverly arranged! Zhang Xiaoshan sighed in his heart, he picked up the wine glass and poured himself a drink. The wine is hot and hot, quite a heroic spirit of the Northland, and the lower stomach is like a fire pouring into the inner abdomen, and the mouth is full of long wine aroma when it is savored.

"Good wine!" Although Zhang Xiaoshan didn't love the contents of this cup, he couldn't help but praise.

"Bang!", a melodious bell attracted Zhang Xiaoshan's attention, only to see a middle-aged man in a white robe appear on the platform in the distance, the man's face was handsome, the momentum was extraordinary, a white hair was scattered behind his back, there was a faint sense of ease, and the breath of the whole body was even stronger, it was actually a great monk in the late Yuan Infant period. Behind the man were two gray-clothed Taoist boys, all of whom had round heads and round faces, and were extremely cute, but they were not living people, but two puppet dolls of the Jindan period.

"Fellow Daoists, the longevity is boundless! Now the time has come, and the treasure auction conference is about to begin! I think some Taoist friends may be attending the treasure appreciation conference for the first time, so I will delay a little time to explain the rules and matters here for these new friends! Although our Five Temples are not a big sect, since you have come here, you must follow the rules of our Five Temples, otherwise... Haha!" Ding Xishui said with a smile: "The five ancestors of our Five Temples don't mind punishing one or two before ascending!"

Zhang Xiaoshan nodded, it was the first time for him to participate in this kind of auction conference, and he was still a little unfamiliar, so he listened carefully.

The rules of all the auction conferences in the world are similar, it is nothing more than the one with the highest price, fair bidding, whether you can get the treasure, it all depends on the spirit stone in your pocket. However, before the auction, there is also a treasure appreciation competition, where you can bid on many unknown materials and ancient treasures according to your own vision and knowledge.

As for the precautions, there are only three points to sum up:

First, once you open your mouth to shout the price, you must take out enough spirit stones to pay, if you can't take out enough spirit stones to pay, you will be severely punished by the Five Temples, and at the same time, the item will be auctioned again.

2. Any participant in the auction shall not reveal his true identity during the auction process, and once violated, he will be sent directly out of the auction site and will be disqualified from participating.

Third, from the beginning to the end of the auction meeting, no monk is allowed to leave the venue halfway, and once he performs the exercises and tries to forcibly break through the spatial barrier to leave, he will be punished by the Five Temples.

Zhang Xiaoshan understands the first and third articles, but he just doesn't understand the significance of the second article, and among the people who participate in this kind of auction meeting, will anyone take the initiative to reveal their identities? What is the purpose of their actions? He really can't figure it out, and it has nothing to do with him anyway, and he will not violate these three articles.

After announcing the contents, Ding Xishui said loudly: "Finally, I want to inform you that if you encounter something you love and want to ask for a price, you only need to pat it on the table in front of you, and we will know." Then next, it is the beginning of the long-awaited treasure appreciation conference!"

A puppet behind Ding Xishui immediately brought a huge silver platter, which was covered with a huge red cloth, and when the red cloth was opened, a brown stone was revealed inside.

Ding Xishui introduced: "This stone comes from an ancient mound near Jiuqu Mansion in Liangzhou, it has a strong yin attribute, which can be used to refine yin attribute spirit runes and spiritual weapons, the reserve price is three thousand silver leaves, and each bid shall not be less than five hundred silver leaves, and now the treasure appreciation begins!"

As he started, there was a noisy bidding sound immediately, and all the sounds changed the original sound after the special treatment of the surrounding space array, which is also to protect the safety of bidders, so that everyone can buy boldly and confidently in a secret state.

The price of this unknown stone quickly exceeded 10,000 silver leaves, but after reaching 10,000 silver leaves, the price increase had obviously slowed down, and only three people continued to fight.

Zhang Xiaoshan did not have much interest in this unknown material. Now his alchemy technique is still in the entry stage, and all kinds of materials are enough, although he has money, he will not spend it indiscriminately.

After a fierce battle, the stone was sold for 13,000 silver leaves, more than four times the reserve price, but it was only an appetizer.

Soon, unknown materials and ancient artifacts were brought up, these things either did not know the name and efficacy, or they were incomplete products, the price was not very high, and the final transaction price was almost between one or two thousand silver leaves.

Although Zhang Xiaoshan didn't have anything to make a move, he was still a little excited when he experienced this kind of occasion for the first time, especially when he saw those bidders, when you compete for the price, it is tantamount to a fierce fight, and it still looks very interesting.

Ding Xishui took another thing from the puppet's hand, it was a somewhat broken cortical remnant, everyone present held their breath, everyone thought that this was the legendary remnant of the Tongtian Method.

Zhang Xiaoshan naturally recognized at a glance that this was not a remnant of the Heavenly Method, the breath of the two was very different, and there was a faint demonic aura left on this picture, which was obviously an item handed down by the demon clan.

Ding Xishui felt the strange aura of the people around him, and introduced with a slight smile: "This picture is from the Thousand Demon Mountain Range...", he paused deliberately, and then continued: "It was discovered by a powerful senior not long ago in a dangerous place called the Dark Valley, and there was a treasure called the Qiankun Pearl" recorded in the demon clan script on it. It is said that this Qiankun pearl has the power of seizing the sun and the moon, and contains the infinite power of heaven and earth. It is a high-grade immortal weapon handed down from the fairy world. Although this remnant does not record the location of the Qiankun beads, it does record the use of the Qiankun beads, which is also extremely precious. If any Taoist friend is interested, you can buy this remnant picture back and study it carefully, maybe there will be other gains! A remnant picture of the Qiankun Bead, with a reserve price of 100 spirit stones! Each time the price must not be less than 10 spirit stones!"

"Boom!", after listening to Ding Xishui's introduction, the crowd below immediately let out bursts of exclamations, some people sighed that the power of this Qiankun Pearl was huge, some people sighed that the price was exaggerated, and some people sighed that this remnant picture was a bit chicken. In fact, it is also normal, if the location of the Qiankun bead is recorded on this residual map, where will anyone be willing to take it out and sell it!

Zhang Xiaoshan didn't shout like others, his eyes were wide at the moment, his mouth could barely be closed, and his heart was beating violently. Could it be that the treasure bead hidden in the dark place in the "Dark Valley" is the Qiankun Pearl? No, I must get this remnant picture and study it carefully!

He had always wanted to find out where the bead came from, and this opportunity must not be missed.

Just when he was stunned, the price of the remnant picture of the Qiankun Bead outside had reached one hundred and fifty spirit stones, and a total of eleven people were competing for this remnant map. After just a dozen breaths, the price of the remnant picture broke through two hundred spirit stones, and at this time, there were still seven people who continued to bid and compete.

"Two hundred and thirty yuan!" A person suddenly shouted loudly, directly increased the price by thirty yuan, and the venue was silent in an instant, and several people who bid just now hesitated, this is just a remnant of a magic weapon, even if you buy it, you just know how to use the magic weapon, but where the magic weapon is still clueless, if the price is not high, buying it is also a chance, but to the price in front of you, it is a little more than worth the loss.

"Oh, two hundred and thirty spirit stones, are there any other Daoists who want to bid!" Ding Xishui said: "You must know that this is about a high-grade immortal weapon, not an ordinary spiritual weapon that can be compared, everyone should consider it!" He agitated, and the originally calm crowd once again sounded the sound of bidding, but everyone was much more cautious, and the price was ten yuan and ten yuan higher.

"A thousand spirit stones!" Suddenly, a voice covered everyone's bidding, and everyone was stunned, wondering which force this was the representative, and the shot was really unambiguous!

Ding Xishui was overjoyed, the price of this remnant was already more than twice as high as the price expected by the Five Temples, and as the host, he could also make a lot of profits.

The person who was willing to give out a thousand spirit stones was not Zhang Xiaoshan, he originally planned to wait for the price to be more stable, and then bid to buy, but he thought that the price would suddenly rise to the current level, he knew that if he didn't make a move, he really had no chance, so he was angry and shouted an even more amazing price "Five thousand spirit stones!" He was confident that his price would definitely be able to suppress everyone.

"Ah!" Sure enough, all the forces present were frightened by the price offered by Zhang Xiaoshan, and everyone speculated which party's senior master was here.

"10,000" just asked for the price, but the person simply doubled the price of Zhang Xiaoshan.

"Hehe!" Zhang Xiaoshan smiled: "Today is interesting, I want to see if you are rich, or if this son is better!"

"Twenty thousand," Zhang Xiaoshan shouted casually. He didn't believe that he couldn't get this remnant with his net worth.
