Chapter 4: Snatching
Although Li Kang was shocked that Jun Wuxian actually got the jade medal of the first auction house, as a clever businessman, he didn't ask too much and led Jun Wuxian and the others straight towards the auction hall.
And when he walked down the corridor to the end, and then turned a corner, suddenly a giant auction venue appeared in Jun Wuxie's sight, making him take a light breath.
This auction venue was bigger than any auction hall Jun Wuxian had ever seen before, and the dense seats and the auction platform that was almost entirely made of brilliant crystals made people a little dazzled. At this time, the auction had not yet begun, but hundreds of people were talking to each other, and the atmosphere was extremely hot.
Fortunately, Likang was a regular visitor here, and he quickly led them to the arranged location.
When sitting on the chair, Jun Wuxian's gaze naturally swept around, according to his rough sense, there were really a lot of strong people who came to the first auction hall, and there were not a few who had entered the realm of spirit generals, and even those above the six-star spirit generals were no less than ten fingers.
However, the most hateful thing is the two people sitting in the front row, one of them is a middle-aged man, with a fat head and big ears, a big belly, and surprisingly fat, almost all of them are barrel-shaped, but the eyes that are covered by layers of fat into a slit often shine, and they are obviously not good-looking characters.
In comparison, the other person was a handsome young man with an excessively pale face, from the outside, his age seemed to be only about twenty-four or five, but judging from that breath, he should already be a peak spirit general, this kind of talent, Rao is Jun Wuxian was a little surprised.
"Mr. Jun Wuxi, those are the people of the other two major forces in the city, the middle-aged is the great elder of the "Thousand Swords Sect" Qian Mo, and the young man is the young master of the "Blood Gate", Xue Hao. Neither of them is easy to get along with, and it's best to avoid them when the auction comes. ”
Seeing Jun Wu's hateless gaze fall on the front row. Likang reminded quietly.
Jun Wuxian nodded, he just came here to see if there were any suitable herbs, so naturally he didn't want to cause more trouble. Soon, Jun Wuxian turned his face away. But at this moment, another person attracted Jun Wuxi's attention.
The man was dressed in black, and he also wore a hat on his head, covering his entire face, and he looked plain. But Jun Wuxian felt inexplicably, there was a dark and cold aura on this person's body, this aura gave him a strange sense of familiarity, and no matter how Jun Wuxian perceived it, he couldn't see that person's cultivation clearly.
Just as Jun Wuxian stared at him, the man seemed to notice a slightly different gaze, and he tilted his head slightly, even through the hat, Jun Wuxian could still feel the indifferent gaze without the slightest emotion.
"There are really no normal people in this sin city. The dark gaze of the man in black made Jun Wuxian feel like he was being targeted by a bloodthirsty bat in the dark. Helplessly, he spread his hands.
However, just as Jun Wuxian smiled bitterly, Thirteen's voice suddenly sounded in his mind, "That person is not simple. ”
"Oh?" Jun Wuxian's heart was slightly startled, and he couldn't help asking, "Then what kind of cultivation is he?"
"He was very vigilant, and his aura was all constricted, so Thirteen couldn't accurately sense his cultivation. However......" Thirteen's voice was a little more dignified, "According to my rough perception, it is definitely above the king level!"
His eyes shrank suddenly. Jun Wuxian's heart was even more shocked, it seemed that the auction of the Black Wind Pavilion was really full of temptation, and even the king-level masters were attracted to it.
Boom!
When Jun Wuxian was pondering, a clear and exciting bell rang. Then I saw a white-haired old man walking out of the high platform, apparently the host of the auction.
"It's finally begun. Looking at the auction hall that fell into a boiling all of a sudden, Jun Wuxian restrained his emotions and thought secretly.
The commotion sounded for a while, followed by the white-haired old man's gaze. The auction hall also gradually fell silent, and all eyes were on the offering table on the high platform, which was full of heat.
Seeing that the auction hall was gradually quiet, the old man in white smiled, stroked his beard and said, "I believe you are all familiar with the rules of the Black Wind Pavilion, so the old man will stop talking nonsense." Now the old man has announced that this Black Wind Pavilion auction has officially begun!"
As the old man drank, a blue strong light suddenly erupted on the high platform, and after half a ring, when the strong light gradually faded, everyone found that there was an extra blue long sword on the offering table, and the sword body was glowing with a cold azure light, giving people a feeling of dementorship.
"The name of this sword is Blue Ice, it is a four-grade spirit sword, cast by the cold ice under the ice sea in the Northern Regions, not only sharpening iron like mud, but also if it is held against the enemy, the cold air is enough to slow down the flow of the enemy's spiritual energy a lot, it can be said that with it, it will have a great upper hand in the battle. The old man held the azure long sword in his hand, the sword body shook, and a faint cold air rose, forming a faint white gas, he turned his head to look at the auction hall, and said with a smile: "The reserve price is three hundred gold coins, please do it." ”
"The opening scene is the four-grade spirit sword, and the Black Wind Pavilion is really rich. Jun Wuxian muttered, but he didn't have much interest, there was the Silent Demon Sword, and he didn't look at these weapons anymore.
"Mr. Xiuyun, don't worry, there will be elixirs one after another in a while. Seeing that Jun Wuxian was less interested, Li Kang next to him hurriedly said.
"Yes. Jun Wuxian nodded.
And just as the two were talking, the bidding in the venue had already come and gone, and soon, this blue ice was auctioned off by a thin man for seven hundred gold coins.
After the success of the first auction, the next offering table, there were dazzling all kinds of rare treasures: exercises, spiritual skills, armor, etc., which set off many small ** auctions, and even appeared in the Xuan-level middle-level spiritual skills.
However, Jun Wuxian also observed that during this entire period, neither the two people in the first row nor the man in black had any intention of making a move, and it seemed that these things could not enter their eyes.
Boom!
Just as Jun Wuxian was observing the surrounding situation, a clear bell rang, and it was obvious that another auction item appeared.
"Hehe, the auction just received a new auction item, and I think you should be very interested. The old man on the auction table said with a smile, holding a jade plate in his hand, and on the jade plate, there were two crystal jade bottles.
Seeing these two jade bottles, the corners of Jun Wuxian's mouth outlined a smile.
"These are two five-grade elixirs. Slowly picked up the two jade bottles. The old man said loudly, and his words also caused a commotion in the auction hall, after all, in Sin City, except for some big forces. Very few people can get an elixir of this level. And in Sin City, where killing and bloodshed are happening all the time, elixir is more precious than anywhere else.
Seeing this, the old man smiled slightly, and continued, "I believe you have also heard of these two elixirs, which are the 'Soul Rejuvenation Flower' and the 'Gathering Spirit Fruit'. ”
"'Soul Rejuvenation Flower' and 'Gathering Spirit Fruit'. Elder Gu Yan, how can you remember that these are all four-grade elixirs?" As soon as the old man's words fell, someone in the audience opened his mouth to question, and his words were also approved by everyone. These two elixirs are clearly four grades, why did the Black Wind Pavilion make such a big oolong, and it was actually said that it was five grades, and for a while, there was a lot of discussion in the venue.
"Everyone, be quiet. Hearing this, Elder Gu Yan was not angry, with a mysterious smile on his face. Xu Xu said, "The Soul Rejuvenation Flower and Gathering Spirit Fruit in the old man's hand are not ordinary, because they have been upgraded by the strong and have become a five-grade elixir!"
"What? Ascending Elixir? How is this possible?"
Elder Gu Yan's words immediately caused an uproar in the audience, and everyone looked incredulous, even the obese middle-aged and young men in the first row who had been indifferent were slightly moved, obviously a little surprised. It is not difficult to obtain the elixir, but it is as difficult as ascending to the sky for the elixir! At least in the entire Cloud Desolation Empire, I have not heard of anyone who can upgrade the fourth-grade elixir to the fifth-grade elixir!
Such a rebellious measure. I'm afraid that even the legendary emperor-level powerhouse can't do it!
When did Sin City emerge with such powerhouses?
Looking at everyone's surprised reactions with satisfaction, Elder Gu Yan continued, "What is the reputation of the Black Wind Pavilion in Sin City, I believe that everyone has a mirror in their hearts, there is no exaggeration in this, these two elixirs have indeed been upgraded. As for what kind of effect the elixir has after being promoted by the peerless powerhouse. It's up to you to know if you have the ability to know. ”
After listening to the old man's words, although everyone's hearts were still shocked, they no longer doubted it, after all, even if it was as strong as the Black Wind Pavilion, it didn't matter if they were angry and deceived everyone in Sin City. For a moment, everyone was staring at the two jade bottles in the jade plate, the spiritual method upgraded by the mysterious powerhouse! Regardless of the preciousness of its six-grade elixir, this alone was enough to make everyone go crazy to snatch it.
"Now that you're all clear, let's get started. The old man smiled slightly and waved his hand, "The auction reserve price, six thousand gold coins per plant, you can bid." ”
"Six thousand five hundred!" As soon as Elder Gu Yan's words fell, someone in the back seat shouted loudly.
"Seven thousand!" There were obviously a lot of people who were interested in these six-grade elixirs, so in less than a minute, the previous bidding price was surpassed.
Jun Wuxian sat quietly in the chair, crossed his fingers, and listened to the increasing price, and couldn't help but show a smile and talk to Mo'er. And Likang, who was beside him, saw that he didn't seem to have the intention of auctioning off these two strains of ascending elixir, so he didn't dare to ask.
The shouts came and went, and only a quarter of an hour later, the price of the Gathering Spirit Flower soared to 10,000 gold coins, and when the price reached this point, the shouting became obviously much thinner, after all, this kind of price is a bit too large for many people.
"Ten thousand twelve!" Just as the bidding sound fell into a low voice, suddenly a slightly cold voice finally sounded in the first row.
Hearing this voice, Jun Wuxian's eyelids jumped, and he locked his gaze on the pale young man, the so-called "Blood Gate" young master Xuehao.
As soon as Xue Hao spoke, the originally sparse bidding sound was completely annihilated, and the fat middle-aged man who was also in the first row glanced at the former, smiled slightly, and did not mean to compete. And in addition to this fat middle-aged man, even if those present have the financial resources, they don't have the courage to compete with the young master of the Blood Gate for auction items.
"12,000 per plant, a total of 24,000, that's enough. Seeing that there was a silence in the field, Jun Wuxian thought to himself, but just when he thought that the price would stop there, a faint voice suddenly sounded behind him, breaking the silence -
"Ten thousand!"
Jun Wuxian was stunned, and turned his head to look over, because the one who opened his mouth was the man in black who gave him an inexplicable sense of familiarity just now!
The black-clothed man's opening to bid naturally caused a commotion, but more people looked at him, with a hint of schadenfreude and pity, in Sin City, he dared to offend the "Blood Gate" so blatantly. It seems that this man either has a head pump or is impatient.
Sure enough, hearing that someone was fighting with him, the eyes of the young master of the Blood Gate suddenly became a lot colder, and he glanced at the man in black. He sneered and said, "Fourteen thousand!"
"Fifteen thousand!" the voice of the man in black was still flat, and he couldn't hear joy or anger.
The face of the Young Sect Master of the Blood Gate changed, and he stood up suddenly, his aura becoming even more gloomy as he stared at the man in black. But just as he wanted to speak again, an old man sitting next to him pulled his sleeve and whispered a few words of persuasion, and the former sat down with a reluctant face.
"Hehe, that black-clothed gentleman bid fifteen thousand for one plant, is there anyone else who wants to increase the price? If not, then these two elixirs belong to him!" Elder Gu Yan was quite satisfied with this price, and asked with a smile at the moment, but after seeing that he didn't get any answer. Finally, he knocked the auction hammer in his hand.
However, although the black-clothed man auctioned off these two elixirs, there were few envy of others, looking at the resentful gaze of the young master of the Blood Gate, he knew that obtaining these two elixirs was equivalent to tying a time bomb, although he couldn't do it now, but when he got out of the auction hall, then anything could happen.
The people of the Bloodgate have always been murderous and murderous, and this is well known in Sin City.
Jun Wuxian frowned and looked at the man in black. Feeling that the other party's aura did not fluctuate in the slightest, he didn't seem to care about everyone's eyes at all, and for some reason, that strange sense of familiarity became stronger and stronger in his heart.
"Now. It's the next auction item. ”
Just when everyone was still amazed by the five-grade elixir just now, the old man's words sounded again, as if with magic power, making everyone hold their breath again, and the venue fell into silence again.
Everyone immediately turned their eyes to look at each other. I saw that at this moment, on the auction table, there was a crystal jade plate, and there was a yellowed and withered ancient book on the jade plate.
However, unlike them, when he saw this ancient book, Jun Wuxian's face changed dramatically, and he almost blurted out.
"Immortal Rebellion Nine Fingers!"
Taking a deep breath, Jun Wuxian finally calmed down the excitement in his heart, although he couldn't turn the ancient book now, he could clearly see that the ancient book was exactly the same as the one he had obtained from Liu Yifeng before, whether it was the appearance or the paper. Moreover, this ancient book has no cover, and the first page is also blank and wordless, which is likely to be the follow-up scroll of the top-level spiritual skill "Thunder Six Fingers".
It's really a lost east, and the mulberry is harvested, and you didn't expect that you didn't find the elixir that cast the body for the thirteen here, but inadvertently had an enhanced version of the six fingers of Ben Lei.
Of course, in the audience, except for Jun Wuxian, most of them were puzzled, obviously not seeing anything strange about this dilapidated ancient book, but at this moment, Elder Gu Yan's voice sounded again,
"Hehe, everyone, this ancient book was accidentally obtained by my Black Wind Pavilion Master, although it is a fragment and there is not a word on it, it cannot erase its value. Because when he got it, the pavilion master obtained another exercise at the same time, and that exercise was a low-level exercise!"
"At that time, the two books were stacked on top of each other, so the pavilion master guessed that these two books were left by a peerless powerhouse. ”
Elder Gu Yan's words undoubtedly dropped a bomb with considerable firepower at the auction hall, this seemingly worthless broken book was actually put together with a ground-level exercise? If this is the case, then maybe there is a lot of truth in it, and for a while, the value of this broken book has skyrocketed a lot because of Elder Gu Yan's words.
"Elder Gu Yan, needless to say, will you make an offer?"
Whispers continued to sound in the auction room, and after a while, there was finally a man in the front row, who shouted a little impatiently.
Hearing the applause, the smile on the white-haired old man's face remained unchanged. He shook his head slightly at the auction hall and said with a smile: "Distinguished guests, you must also know that the value of such an ancient book can no longer be measured by gold coins, so this auction does not sell gold coins, but barters!"
Elder Gu Yan's request made many people in the auction hall frown, and then they all fell silent. For them, they can get their hands again when the gold coins are gone, anyway, the money is never afraid of not being able to get their hands on it, but if they barter for this ancient book, they must at least take some real heavyweight things out, but that level of things, who doesn't hide them like treasures?
And, most importantly, no one knows whether this ancient book is really valuable or not? If it is really just a wordless book, then wouldn't it be worth losing money to go back?
Looking at the silence in the audience, although Elder Gu Yan still had a smile on his face, there was already a little cold sweat on his forehead, in fact, this ancient book was not as valuable as he said, no matter how the people of their Black Wind Pavilion detected it or even used secret methods to detective, they couldn't find anything special about it, if it wasn't for such a situation, they wouldn't have taken it out for auction.
Therefore, if someone auctions it, it is equivalent to making a big gamble, and it is more likely that they will lose all their money.
The silence continued, and just when Elder Gu Yan was about to lose it anymore, an indifferent voice slowly sounded, shattering the silence in the auction room.
"A six-grade elixir. (To be continued.) )
