Chapter 142: The Auction
Sent Lu Dingshan away, seeing that the time was not early, Qingyang did not go out again, and directly started cultivating in his room. I drank most of the jar of Baihua Wine in one go just now, which is equivalent to taking most of the Qi Nourishing Pill, and the spiritual power in the body has gathered a lot, and we must refine and absorb them as soon as possible, otherwise the spiritual power will slowly dissipate and be wasted.
The next morning, Qingyang took Yu Mengmiao to some markets where casual cultivators often go, and heard a lot of useful news, confirming that what Lu Dingshan said was true.
There is indeed an auction tomorrow, and the news of the Knock Immortal Order is also true, the organizer of the auction is said to be the city lord of Jade Spirit City, and I don't know if the Knock Immortal Order has anything to do with him. There are many teams that team up to enter the depths of Yuling Mountain to find mission items, and there are all kinds of strengths, most of them are teams of monks of the same level, and there are even teams of all Qi refining periods.
Qingyang thought about it for a while, and felt that it was slightly better to team up with Lu Dingshan, Lu Dingshan's team strength was higher, and the chance of success was relatively greater, and he had no acquaintances in Yuling City, and when he went out with other teams, there was no guarantee in terms of safety.
Although this Lu Dingshan has only known each other for a few days, judging from Qingyang's experience, this person has a straightforward personality and does not have so many eyes, so he should not deliberately pit himself. Both of them are casual cultivators who have just come to Jade Spirit City, and if they really encounter any danger, they also have a mutual support.
Of course, this is just Qingyang's own wishful thinking, if Lu Dingshan's team is really unwilling to take him, then he can only figure out his own way.
On the morning of the third day, Lu Dingshan came to Qingyang as promised and went to the auction together. The auction is very long, and it is likely to take a whole day, Yu Mengmiao is reluctant to practice in the guest room alone, and she also wants to follow to see the excitement, so she has to bring her with her.
The three of them walked out of the inn and came to the main street, and walked a long way until they were about to approach the area where the city lord's mansion and the warriors patrolling the city lived at the end of Yuling City, and saw a tall building on the side of the road, and the three of them walked inside.
This is where the auction is held, and the square outside is crowded with thousands of people, most of whom are watching the excitement, and those who actually participate in the auction have already entered.
finally squeezed to the door, but the three of them found that the auction was not something that could be entered casually, and everyone needed to pay a Qi Nourishing Pill. Also, there are tens of thousands of monks in the entire Jade Spirit City, if it is not restricted, it is estimated that most of the monks in the Jade Spirit City will come to watch the excitement, and no matter how big the auction venue is, it will not be able to sit down to twenty or thirty thousand people.
Fortunately, Yu Mengmiao is still young and does not need to buy tickets separately, otherwise Qingyang will have to consider the question of whether it is worth it. One Qi Nourishing Pill can also be considered, if he just wants to pay two Qi Nourishing Pills just to watch the excitement, he will definitely not be able to enjoy it.
Handing over a Qi Nourishing Pill, Qingyang received a number plate, and then followed Lu Dingshan into the gate of the auction hall with Yu Mengmiao. The interior of the auction hall is simply arranged, a huge hall, with a platform nearly a foot above the ground in the front, rows of countless stone benches placed below, and a circle of nearly 100 private rooms on the second floor.
Qingyang glanced at it, the number of stone benches under the stage was two thousand, but at this time it was almost full of people, when Qingyang and Yunda came in, only the last row of stone benches was empty, and as for those who came later than them, they could only find a place to stand on the side.
Before the auction started, so many people came, it can be seen that this auction will have a great impact, more than 2,000 people, already accounting for more than half of the number of monks in the entire Jade Spirit City, it is estimated that many people have the same purpose as Qingyang, heard about the matter of knocking on the immortal order, and came to see the excitement.
Sitting on the stone bench in the hall were all casual cultivators at the bottom of the Jade Spirit City, most of them were monks in the middle and late stages of the Open Pulse Realm, but there were also many in the Qi refining period. Although their strength is high, they don't have the financial resources and power to open a private room, so they can only sit in the hall like other low-level cultivators.
As for the big families in Jade Spirit City and those monks with deep backgrounds, they must all be in the private rooms on the second floor, they have special passages, and they don't need to enter through the main entrance, so which private room has someone and who is sitting in that private room, the casual cultivators below don't know at all.
There was still a steady stream of people outside, and soon even the aisles inside the heavy armor and the surrounding positions against the walls were full of people, and as far as the eye could see, there were black heads everywhere, and the number of people almost exceeded three thousand. Regardless of how much money can be made from the auction of items, this time just by selling a ticket for a Qi Nourishing Pill, the owner of the auction will make crazy money.
When there are a lot of people, it will naturally be chaotic and noisy, just like a vegetable market, and you can't hear it clearly when you are separated by a few people. However, it is precisely because there are many people who talk to each other that they have no scruples about talking to each other, and they can hear a lot of unknown news and learn a lot of hidden content.
A quarter of an hour later, an old man with a long beard walked up to the platform, and the voice in the hall slowly became quieter. Qingyang had already heard from everyone's discussions, this old man was the second butler of the Jade Spirit City City Lord's Mansion, and he was a cultivator in the middle stage of Qi training, and he was mainly in charge of this auction.
When everyone's voices were a little quieter, the long-bearded old man cleared his throat and said, "I didn't expect everyone to be so supportive, so many people are here today, on behalf of the city lord Yu Lingsan, I thank you for coming." I know that many people are here specifically for the Knock Immortal Order, but that thing is going to be put in the final finale, and it will definitely not be taken out now, I hope you will be patient. Now let's take the first item, a Kaimai Pill produced by Jinding Pavilion. ”
The long-bearded old man waved his hand, and a maid walked up with a tray on which was a small jade bottle. The old man opened the jade bottle, poured out a pill the size of a dragon's eye, and then said, "The Kaimai Pill produced by the Golden Ding Pavilion belongs to the top grade of the pills, even if it is taken by a miscellaneous spirit root with low potential, it can break through to become a monk in one fell swoop. The reserve price is one hundred and fifty spirit stones, and the price increase is not less than one spirit stone each time, and the auction is now open! ”
Hearing the words of the long-bearded old man, Lu Dingshan, who was narrating, swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said to himself: "My mother, the starting price of the Open Pulse Pill is one hundred and fifty spirit stones, how can the monks of this Jade Spirit City have so many spirit stones?" Could it be that their spirit stones are all blown by the wind? ”
Qingyang smiled and didn't say anything, they sat in the last row, and they couldn't see the things on the stage very clearly, but Qingyang could feel that the Pulse Opening Pill in the hand of the long-bearded old man was similar to the one he had taken at the beginning, that is to say, Qingyang had also taken hundreds of spirit stones in one mouth.
~~~~~~Thank you for the reward from Ziqi Donglai_ Yan Daoyou!
