Chapter 15: The Ice Heart Auction House
The time soon came to the opening day of the auction, and Zheng and Feixuan had already met in the market early, and there were still two hours before the auction officially began.
"We can't get in without an invitation card, let alone buying items at auction, we can't even see it!" Fei Xuan looked at the door of the Bingxin Auction Hall and was a little anxious, if he couldn't get in, even if they had a million taels of silver on them now, they wouldn't be able to buy anything.
"Don't worry, the solution is like water in a sponge, as long as you are willing to squeeze it, there will always be one. Zheng Yu pondered the memories of his previous life, and suddenly a figure flashed in his mind, and then a sly smile appeared on his face.
"You wait, let's go and change our appearance!" With that, Zheng Yu led Fei Xuan to hide in the depths of a dead end. He took out the remaining white flour and soft mud and water from his wrench, and began his second transformation in this life.
This time, Zheng Xuan changed to the appearance of a man who was weak and crowned, and Fei Xuan changed to a strong and fierce guard. It had been an hour since the change of appearance, and the two of them swaggered through the entrance.
Just when he arrived at the gate, the two guards stopped Zheng Yu and shouted, "What person!"
"Zheng Xuan, a disciple of my Zheng family, is in room No. 3 on the second floor, and you dare to force a guard to stop it?" Zheng Xuan pretended to be Zheng Kong's younger brother Zheng Xuan this time. In his memory, Zheng Xuan bought gold and silver at this auction to bring a lot of income to his family.
And Zheng Fang pretending to be him also has his own selfishness. Once Zheng Kong and Zheng Xuan brothers teamed up to bully themselves, not only took away the Qilong Treasure Armor that their father regarded as a treasure, but also thought about their cousin, like this kind of pig and dog, he wanted to eat Zheng Xuan alive in his previous life.
When the two guards heard Zheng Yu's identity and the auction room where he was, their faces immediately became ugly and embarrassed, and they hurriedly let the two go, they didn't want to offend a rich and powerful person.
Walking in the aisle, Fei Xuan looked at the bustling crowd around him with a novel face, although there were not as many as the market outside, but all the people who could come in here were rich squires and people of high status.
Although Iceheart City is a medium-sized city, due to the heresy outside, the auction headquarters may distribute some valuables to Iceheart City, so it is not impossible to auction a rare item.
After a short time, the two of them came to the door of room No. 3 on the second floor, and the soundproof door was locked. Zheng Fang knocked heavily on the door, and after a while, the person inside lazily opened the door, and when he saw that the person who knocked on the door looked exactly like himself, he immediately woke up completely......
Fei Xuan hit the man with a fist in the eye, and he immediately took a few steps back in pain. The two took the opportunity to squeeze in and closed the door tightly.
This person is Zheng Xuan, he fell to the ground and covered one eye, his face was slightly angry, although the incident happened suddenly, he was not stupid, and he also knew that the person who came was not good, and then asked: "Who are you! Dare to attack my Zheng family inner clan disciple, are you not afraid of death?"
"Inner clan disciple, don't say that you are not an inner clan, even if you Zheng Xuan are the patriarch, I will have to beat you all over the ground to find your teeth!" Fei Xuan took a step forward, snapped twice, and slapped Zheng Xuan in the face with two slaps. Helplessly, he was only a two-fold mountain-level strength, how could he withstand the attack of the three-fold mountain star-level? He was stunned by Sima Feixuan on the spot.
"Why are you so angry, he didn't offend you!" Zheng shook his head helplessly and carried it into the closet.
"I've heard of Zheng Xuan, it's Zheng Kong's younger brother, he and his brother are both virtuous, I couldn't clean up Zheng Kong with my own hands, and cleaning up him can be regarded as giving you a vent!" Fei Xuan's anger gradually subsided.
After hearing this, Zheng Yu's heart warmed, and he was overflowing with emotion, this brother, he made the right friends in this life! The friendship in the previous life ended without a problem, and in this life, he must let him live in that battle no matter what!
"Zheng Flai, what's wrong with you?" Fei Xuan looked at Zheng Flai's distraction, and couldn't help but be a little confused.
"Ahh It's okay, it's okay!The opening ceremony should be about to begin, right?" Zheng Yu suddenly came back to his senses and hurriedly blinked vigorously, trying to reduce the redness in his eyes.
"It should be soon. ”
After a few small talks, finally all the ordinary guests sat down.
The Bingxin Auction is divided into a general auction area and a special auction area. The general auction area has a ground floor with fifty-six seats, usually for wealthy families with little money. The special auction area is located on the second and third floors, with a total of 24 separate private rooms.
In addition to the excellent sound insulation, these private rooms are equipped with a sanded glaze, which allows guests to see the outside from the inside, while people outside cannot see the inside, which greatly ensures the privacy and safety of the guests. In addition, there is a row of buttons in the private room, and pressing it is a clear price increase.
"Good afternoon, distinguished guests, I am fortunate to have you gathered here today, and I believe that you have all read the notice we have posted this time, and we are sure that all of you will be satisfied with your favorite items and return with a full load. I believe everyone already knows this rule, right? Okay, don't say much, the auction ceremony of the Bingxin Auction House, formal, start!"
Speaking at the auction table was a girl in her early twenties, dressed in a dress as white as snow hanging on her snowy skin, with an angelic voice, seductive.
"Next we will auction the first item of the day – the oleander milk stick. This stick is a yellow-level high-grade weapon, with a total length of four feet and five inches, weighing about 15 catties, all made of yellow milk jade, and the middle is straight outside. It is highly recommended for those who like stick weapons to buy at auctions, starting at 10,000 taels of silver!
After the price was revealed, the guests in the ordinary area on the first floor let out a low exclamation, as if this number alone turned them away!
"It's just a yellow-level top-grade weapon, and it's sold so expensive?, this auction house is so black-hearted!" Fei Xuan tasted oolong tea and immediately squirted out when he heard this sentence, almost choking!
Sure enough, after the price was revealed, there was silence in the field, but the auctioneer was not embarrassed, looked at the VIPs on the first floor with a smile, and then said:
"Maybe you friends think that it is our black heart that a yellow-level high-grade weapon can be sold so expensive, but in fact, it is not. This oleander milk stick came from the hands of Yan Yuyun, the first caster of the empire, although it is a yellow-level high-grade weapon, its purity is no less than that of a Xuan-level low-grade weapon!"
As soon as these words came out, the VIPs on the first floor immediately exclaimed. Yan Yutun is the strongest casting master in the empire, and a ground-level high-grade weapon, Huang Yan's famous knife, is the most famous, and if he does it, then this weapon is also worth this price.
Sure enough, as soon as a person becomes famous, everything about him will be worth twice as much, a yellow-level high-grade weapon is from the hands of ordinary people, and it will be sold for three or four thousand taels of silver or even lower if it dies, but this one is from the first caster of the empire, and the starting price alone will directly rise more than twice as much, if this is the final result of the auction, won't this number swell?
"The degree of purity is no less than that of a Xuan-level low-grade weapon?Zheng Flai, do you want to buy it?" Fei Xuan said tremblingly. Yan Yuyun's name is like thunder, and the thing he shot is definitely not an ordinary item.
"No, it's just a yellow-rank high-grade weapon, which eight-forger you've ever seen would forge a low-grade weapon? It's good to let others eat this loss, we don't want much. ”
Zheng Fang sat on the recliner, crossed Erlang's legs, pillowed his hands behind his head, and watched the hustle and bustle of bidding outside the venue.
"Twelve thousand taels of silver!"
"Thirteen thousand taels!"
"Fifteen thousand taels!"
In the midst of the shouting of bids one after another, the atmosphere in the venue was completely enlivened, and finally this oleander milk stick was auctioned off by the No. 36 guest on the first floor for 18,000 taels of silver.
"Congratulations to the thirty-sixth guest for mentioning the treasure! The next item is the Linjia helmet! The raw material of this item comes from the animal skin of the strength of the Linjia beast of the Mie Mountain, which is known for its strong defense, and can resist the blow of the person at the peak of the Mie Mountain head-on, with this helmet, even in a small family, you can walk sideways! The starting price is 20,000 taels of silver! The minimum increase shall not be less than 2,000 taels of silver!"
"This is good! If I buy it, my position in the inner clan will be completely secured! It is only a matter of time before I inherit the Sima family!" In room No. 2 on the third floor, a big girl who was in the prime of life first pressed down five thousand.
"Twenty-five thousand taels! There is no higher price!" The auctioneer had already expected that this item must belong to a customer in the special auction area, and a wink appeared at the moment, as if it was arousing the desire of others to win.
"Thirty thousand taels!" Room No. 7 on the third floor added five thousand.
"I, Hong Beike, rely on this thing to stabilize my position!" the guest in room seven on the third floor confidently increased the price.
"Then let's add it too, right?" Fei Xuan asked Zheng Xuan's opinion.
"No, although this armor beast's defense is extremely impressive, it's just a helmet. Helmets are mostly used on the battlefield, is it possible that you have to wear such a helmet when you fight with others? Others are not stupid and have to come at your head, besides, you take a good look at the design of this helmet, it is easy to block the line of sight when you wear it!"
Zheng Flails still had his hands behind his head, looking leisurely, and even lost interest after just looking at it, waiting for the next auction item.
All eyes on the field cast their eyes on the two rooms where they had paid a price, as if they were the protagonists of this one. The price became more and more fierce, but in the end, considering that the purpose of the family sending them was not to buy helmets, in the end, the guests of room No. 2 on the third floor received forty-five thousand taels of silver.
"Congratulations to the guests of Room 2 on the third floor for their treasures! Next, we will auction the third item, which is 1,400 years old - Replenishing Spirit Grass! I won't repeat how big the effect of Replenishing Spiritual Grass is, then, let's go straight to the topic and officially start the auction! Starting price - 20,000 taels of silver!"
Hearing the words "Spiritual Herb", Zheng Flails jumped up from the rocking chair with a thud, staring at the small flower pot in the auctioneer's hand with fine eyes, and confirmed again and again, yes, this is the only herb he lacks!
