Chapter 8 Auctions
The strength of the Great Chamber of Commerce is really strong, and after three days, Rosacea sent the materials to the inn, although each material is not very many, but it is not easy to get it together in such a short time. In order to prevent accidents, Lingyun Commercial Bank also specially sent a great martial artist to guard the surroundings of the inn.
There are no surprises. After losing a little medicinal material, Duan Yun refined twelve Zhuyan Pills. He kept two for himself, and Duan Yun put the remaining ten in a special jade bottle and handed them to Rosacea.
A month passed quickly, during which Duan Yun went to the body refining room again, and his vajra body had faintly touched the triple threshold, but he knew that the breakthrough in the future would become more and more difficult. As his body became stronger, Duan Yun's demand for martial arts became more and more urgent.
The auction is finally about to begin. The flow of people in Mochizuki Castle has increased significantly compared to before. Warriors from various nearby cities dressed in various costumes and shuttled between the crowds, adding a lot of scenery to the city.
Of course, Duan Yun would not miss this opportunity, and with the status of guest of the Lingyun Chamber of Commerce, he successfully entered the venue. The venue area is large, but the venue that can accommodate 30,000 or 40,000 people is full of black and oppressive people. Through the flow of people, Duan Yun found a room with a clear line of sight and sat down.
"What do you need?" said a graceful maid who stepped forward, not slacking off because of his young age.
"Just have a pot of tea. Duan Yun said lightly.
"Need any other services?"
"I'm so young, what other services do you want to offer? Duan Yun didn't want to waste time on irrelevant matters, so he simply teased the maid directly.
"You ......" the maid's face turned green with anger. "At such a young age, where did you get so many bad eyes?"
"Ahem......" Duan Yun also felt that such a joke was insulting, and coughed dryly. "I'll call you if you need to. β
"Hmph......" The maid's face turned greener, she glared at Duan Yun fiercely, and turned to leave.
"Did I say the wrong thing again?" Duan Yun was a little embarrassed, but he thought carefully about what he said before and after, and his face immediately turned into a pig's liver.
Just as Duan Yun was struggling, an abrupt bell rang out from the center of the auction, and the sound echoed in the vast venue, quieting down the noisy noise.
At this time, on the auction table, there was an auctioneer, and beside him were three great martial artists, scattered around the auctioneer in a fan shape, closely monitoring the venue.
"The auction starts now. The auctioneer waved his hand and announced.
"The first auction item, the enlightenment futon, sitting on this treasure and practicing can break mundane thoughts, clear the spiritual platform, and improve the practitioner's understanding to a certain extent. As for the role of perception, I don't think I need to introduce it. β
"There is such a thing......" For a while, the entire venue was filled with gasping sounds.
Looking at the reaction from the audience, the auctioneer showed a satisfied expression. It was as if it was all expected by him.
"Start the quotation now, this thing is only sold for spiritual jade, there is no starting price, and the one with the highest price will get it." After a slight pause, he continued.
Hearing the auctioneer say this, the venue fell silent.
That's what I expected, the auctioneer screwed his beard and was secretly proud. He knew that the present tranquility was only a precursor to an outburst.
Really. Soon the tranquility was shattered.
"I'll produce a low-grade spirit jade. A shrill voice suddenly came from the crowd.
"Damn, you are stupid, you want to bid for a low-grade spirit jade?" As soon as this voice came out, it immediately attracted the laughter and contempt of countless martial artists next to him. Following the voice, a fat, unseen figure protruded. When the fat man appeared, he immediately became a vacuum area within a radius of five meters, as if he was afraid that the second shortage would also be infectious, and everyone unanimously chose how far to go.
The auctioneer obviously didn't expect that the outbreak after tranquility would be such a result. He glared at the damn fat man, eager to cut off his flesh and feed it to the dogs.
"Ladies and gentlemen, it seems that I need to reiterate the rules of the auction house. If someone is found to be making trouble, they will be immediately expelled from the venue. After scolding the damn fat man dozens of times in his heart, the auctioneer announced that the auction would continue.
"I'll give out 10,000 low-grade spirit jades. β
"I'll give out thirteen,000 low-grade spirit jades. β
After the little episode made by the fat man, everything is finally back to normal. Bidding came and went.
Duan Yun sat in the VIP room and did not participate in the bidding. One is that he doesn't have a single spirit jade in his hand at the moment, and the other is that he is not very interested in this thing.
In the end, the Mingwu futon was successfully photographed by a sword-wielding warrior dressed in a black robe and wearing a hat at the price of 20,000 low-grade spirit jade.
After the handover, the warrior with the sword quickly left the venue. Several warriors in the corner nodded to each other, and they also followed out of the auction hall.
The human heart is unpredictable, and the world of cultivators is really the law of the jungle. Duan Yun couldn't help but sigh. From his direction, it was clear that the greed and fierce light in the eyes of the few warriors behind him could be seen.
The auction continues.
As the auction items were taken away one by one, the auction gradually came to an end. During this period, there were also a few that made Duan Yun excited, but because he was shy in his pocket, he never made a move. Although Ling Fei promised to meet all his requirements as much as possible, Duan Yun also knew that favors were not so easy to owe, and he would not be naΓ―ve to think that just a few Zhuyan Pills would be able to open his mouth.
"Here are the last two lots of this auction, the first of which is ......" The auctioneer deliberately prolonged his voice in order to whet everyone's appetite.
The warriors under the stage couldn't stand it, and some began to scold.
At this moment, a maid walked up to the stage, leaned into the auctioneer's ear, and whispered a few words.
The auctioneer's face changed, but he quickly returned to his senses.
"Empty...... ...... "He kept talking at the same pace as before.
"What are you kidding?" immediately exploded the pot.
"What about the Xuan-level fist martial arts?" Duan Yun couldn't help but wonder.
"Given that there is no one to bid for the air, this kind of auction will ......not be auctioned," the auctioneer said with a dry cough and a unchanged face.
"Damn, don't bring such a playful person. Let's go. The warriors in the audience are already preparing to leave.
"If you leave, you will miss the greatest opportunity in your life, and this last auction item is the Zhuyan Pill that can keep your face unchanged for twenty years!" the auctioneer shouted loudly when he saw that the situation was not good.
"Zhuyan Dan who has kept his face unchanged for twenty years?" The warrior who was arguing to leave just now immediately stopped.
"Next month is the birthday of the city lord's daughter, and using this as a birthday gift will definitely get the city lord's appreciation. β
"Seeing that my wife is about to become a yellow-faced woman, I use this word...... Haha"
"This time it's the right time. I'm fighting with my senior brother for Master's pearl, and with the Zhuyan Dan, let's see how he fights with me!"
For a while, the warriors present talked about everything.
"Buy this for my tigress, I won't have to kneel on the washboard again......" A discordant voice suddenly sounded again.
......
It's the fat man who lacks two things again. Suddenly, the scene was quiet again. All eyes were on this fat man. There is contempt, sympathy, schadenfreude in that gaze, and there is a resonance like "the same person who has fallen from the end of the world".
"It's all up to me what I do...... Could it be that my pan-like face and devil-like figure are so attractive?"
"Cut" Everyone resisted the urge to vomit, and raised their middle fingers at the fat man in unison.
The auctioneer was about to go crazy, and finally mobilized the atmosphere, but the limelight was stolen by this fat man again.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the Zhuyan Dan auction begins. For fear of any more accidents, the auctioneer couldn't wait to announce.
"I'll give out five thousand inferior spirit jade!" Hearing that the auction was starting, the fat man immediately put away the mirror and shouted at the top of his throat.
There was silence on the field again. In front of me, a spirit jade went to shoot the Mingwu futon, and now he directly shouted the price of five thousand, was this fat man's head kicked by a donkey.
"Five Thousand Spirit Jade for the First Time"
"Five Thousand Spirit Jade for the Second Time"
"Five thousand spirit jade for the third time, deal"
The fat man got the Zhuyan Dan and hummed a little song triumphantly. When he was about to leave the venue, he didn't forget to look up to the sky and roar: "Let me swim in the world, and I will never kneel on the washboard from now on!"
......
"Damn, I was disgusted by this living treasure, and I forgot to shoot Yan Dan. After the fat man left, someone muttered.
At this time, everyone woke up like a dream.
"This wicked fat man, I must kill him if I see him again. β
