Chapter 9 Auctions
"Jin Lingdan, change to a fire attribute yellow rank high-level sword?" Looking at the words in front of him, Ye Chen asked curiously.
"Yes, yes. The middle-aged man didn't open his eyes and said lightly. Looking at the middle-aged man's expression, Ye Chen smacked his lips, "Yellow rank high-level swords, you really dare to ask for them!" There are not many in the entire Ye family, but the Ye family's status in Purple Cloud City, presumably the high-level weapons of the Yellow Rank are also very rare in Purple Cloud City, and their value can be imagined.
"You don't feel worth it, you don't want to change it, and I think you also know the benefits of Jin Lingdan, if this city can't be changed, I will try it somewhere else. The middle-aged man still didn't open his eyes, and said expressionlessly.
Jin Ling Pill, as the name suggests, is an elixir that increases the success rate of cultivators with a 2-layer foundation to break through to the spirit person, but because the level of the elixir is not high, and it is relatively simple to refine, it is not very precious, but due to the scarcity of alchemists, Ye Chen still saw the Jin Spirit Pill for the first time in Ziyun City.
"Ask him when he's leaving. Just as Ye Chen was about to leave, Han Yin's voice suddenly sounded in Ye Chen's heart.
"When are you leaving?" Ye Chen asked after hearing Han Yin's words.
Hearing Ye Chen's question, the middle-aged man opened his eyes for the first time, looked Ye Chen up and down and said, "What, you want to change?"
"Do you think I can take out a high-grade sword of the Yellow Rank like this?" Seeing the middle-aged man looking at himself, Ye Chen said lightly.
Looking at Ye Chen's unhurried expression, the middle-aged man thought for a moment and said, "I will leave this city in three days, and I will be in this position during the day." ”
Hearing the middle-aged man, Ye Chen felt the horror of the crowd again, and squeezed shoulder to shoulder for a while before leaving. "Teacher, are you asking him when he is leaving for what?" Ye Chen asked curiously.
"Exchange the spirit pill with him?" Han Yin said lightly.
"Exchange Jin Lingdan with him, but where are we going to get a yellow-rank high-grade weapon, and I feel that Jin Lingdan is not worth a yellow-rank high-grade weapon?" Ye Chen asked in surprise.
"First, the Jinjie Pill will definitely be useful to you in the future, and second, have you forgotten what I do?" Han Yin replied.
"Oh, practicing a Yellow Rank Advanced is just a drop in the bucket for the teacher. Ye Chen said with a smile.
"Don't be a sycophant, I have all the basic refining materials, but I rarely refined yellow-level weapons before, and if you want to refine fire-attribute weapons, there is still a lack of a main material. ”
"What material?" Ye Chen asked curiously.
"Igneous iron. ”
"Fire Rock Iron, what is Fire Rock Iron?" Ye Chen asked
"Igneous iron, ordinary iron ore will be produced after 5 years of quenching in magma, and thirty catties of mortal iron can produce up to one catty of igneous iron, which is the best choice for creating low-level fire attribute weapons. Han Yin explained.
"Oh, where should I go to get this igneous rock iron? By the way, I heard that there seems to be a grand auction in Purple Cloud City recently, you might as well go and have a look, find it better, and if you can't find it, you should have a long insight. After having a goal, Ye Chen walked towards the auction venue.
The Egbert Auction House, the largest auction venue in Purple Cloud City, is also part of the richest family in the Fan Lan Empire: the Egbert family. In the Fan Lan Empire, in terms of wealth, I am afraid that the Egbert family is second to none. The Egbert family has a long history, business-oriented, and has been developed in the Fan Lan Empire for hundreds of years, and the relationship can be described as complicated, and according to some gossip, this rich family seems to have a slight relationship with the royal family of the Fan Lan Empire. Therefore, with the strong strength of the Egbert family, no one dares to beat their ideas, no matter how coveted the profits of the auction house are.
Looking at the huge venue at the end of the street, Ye Chen sighed for a while and walked towards it. "Hello, this gentleman, is there an invitation to enter the venue?" A beautiful woman in a red dress at the door stopped Ye Chen and asked.
"Invitation, do you still need an invitation to enter?" Ye Chen asked in amazement.
"Yes, this gentleman, since this is a relatively large auction in the Purple Cloud Empire in the past few years, due to the lack of locations, if you want to enter, you must have certain qualifications, money and strength. Some factions will give out invitations, if you want to qualify for this, please go to the door on the right, and take out enough wealth or items in it to get an invitation. The girl patiently explained.
"Oh, that's right. Shaking his head helplessly, Ye Chen turned around and left.
Ye Chen, who left, asked helplessly, "Teacher, do you have any good ideas?"
After a moment of silence, Han Yin spoke: "I thought about it, I had an interesting idea in the early years, but it failed, and I forged a sword, because it was a failure, I didn't pay attention to it, and I lost it in the corner of the ring for a long time, you take it to appraise it and see if you are qualified, by the way, after three months of fusion, I also fused your spiritual power into the ring, so that you can also store the items in the ring." ”
"Is this a failure?" Ye Chen asked.
"It's okay, it's not uncommon for refiners to auction off their own works, and it's useless to keep them otherwise. Han Yin said lightly. "By the way, disguise, it's always bad to be who you are. ”
"Got it, Sensei"
After a while, Ye Chen returned to the front of the auction venue, turned into a remote alley, and then quickly draped the black cloak robe he had purchased earlier on his body.
The huge robe covered down, not only did it hide Ye Chen's appearance, but even the young man's thin body was stuffed and bloated, and now Xiao Yan's appearance, I'm afraid even if his father was standing in front of him, I am afraid it would be difficult to recognize. Covering his figure, Ye Chen breathed a sigh of relief, and under the vigilant gaze of several heavily armed guards at the door, Ye Chen walked straight in without stopping, and walked into the door on the right side of the auction hall.
As soon as you enter the clubhouse, the hot feeling is as if you have been stripped from your body, and the cool feeling makes people feel strange inside and out. His gaze swept over the splendid spacious hall, and Ye Chen walked towards the room inside, and on the door of the room, the three big words "Treasure Appreciation Room" were printed with golden light.
Pushing the door in, the room was a little empty, only a middle-aged man was a little bored sitting on the chair at the table, hearing the sound of pushing the door, the middle-aged man raised his head, looked at the figure wrapped in a black robe, frowned without a trace, and then quickly piled up a professional smile on his face: "Sir, are you planning to appreciate treasures?"
Well. Under the black robe, an old voice came out lightly, and it turned out to be Han Yin's voice. Ye Chen took two steps forward, took out the failed work in Han Yin's mouth from his arms, and gently put it on the table
"This is?" Looking at the dark black and slightly sword-shaped object in front of him, his eyes blinked suspiciously, and then he picked it up and looked at it, after a while, his face changed slightly, and he looked at Ye Chen again, and there was a trace of awe: "My lord is a refiner?"
"Oh, you know the alchemist. Han Yin's voice came out again.
"This is nature, may I ask what kind of weapon is this?" Hearing this, the middle-aged man asked respectfully again.
"Xuan-rank low-level non-attribute sword"
"Oh, Xuan-rank low-level weapons. Hearing this, the middle-aged man was a little moved, even he hadn't seen it a few times at the lower level of the Xuan Rank, although there was no attribute bonus, but no attribute meant that anyone could use it, and once it was scrambled, the value would be higher. The middle-aged man carefully put the weapon back on the table, and said respectfully: "My lord, can you please wait for a while? I need to ask the Cangni master from our auction house to come and identify it!"
"Well, hurry up. With a wave of his hand, Ye Chen was not polite, sat down on the chair next to him, and then closed his eyes to recuperate.
The middle-aged man nodded hurriedly, and then hurried out of the room.
Sitting on the chair, Ye Chen remained silent, and did not open his mouth to talk to Han Yin, this is someone else's territory, it is better to be cautious in words and deeds, who can guarantee that there is no setting for peeking or eavesdropping here, although it can be spiritually talked, but it will inevitably be seen by any master. After staying in the room for a long time, the middle-aged man returned again, only this time, he also brought an old man in Tsing Yi with some gray hair.
His gaze swept over the old man, and finally stopped at the old man's chest, where there was a badge similar to a shield, and the shield was surrounded by a silver border, and a silver sword was painted in the middle, and around the sword there were three gold stars shining with noble glory.
"My lord, this is Master Cangni from our auction house, he is a third-level spirit master!At the same time, he is also a four-star refiner!" the middle-aged man said in a respectful voice. Listening to the identity of the old man, Ye Chen's eyebrows under his cloak subconsciously picked, this was the first time he had met a refiner other than Han Yin, and he couldn't help but look at the other party carefully.
The old man's face was full of red light, although the green clothes on his body looked ordinary, but there was a faint flow of light, and there was a touch of arrogance that was difficult to hide on the ordinary old face.
While Ye Chen was looking at the other party, Cangni was also scanning the former without a trace, although the refiner was not an alchemist, but if this thing came out at random, it would also be co-opted by any force, so when Cangni looked at it, he also secretly guessed Ye Chen's identity in his heart.
The middle-aged man carefully picked up the weapon from the table and handed it to Cangni. Taking the weapon, Mr. Kurani looked at it, then grasped the hilt of the sword with his left hand and gently stroked the blade with his right hand. With the increase of the touching area, Cangni's face gradually changed from calm to solemn, and after a while, he gently put the weapon on the table, and when his eyes swept to Ye Chen again, his arrogant face was a little more respectful, and he turned his head to the middle-aged man and said in a deep voice: "It is indeed a low-level Xuan rank without attributes, what this adult said before, there is no falsehood." ”
Hearing this, the middle-aged man breathed a sigh of relief, and smiled eagerly at Ye Chen: "My lord, are you planning to auction this weapon?"
"Do you have a fire rock iron auction this time?" Ye Chen asked rhetorically without answering the middle-aged man's question.
"There is no igneous iron auction this time, but there is also a storage of igneous iron in the auction, which we will prepare for you at the end. The middle-aged man, who knew everything about the auction, replied.
"Well, I need a kilogram of the portion, and the price will be deducted from my funds after the auction, right?"
"Okay, my lord, you take this to the auction house, wait for a while, and when the auction starts, your weapon will be auctioned later!" The middle-aged man smiled and handed over a pitch-black iron plaque.
"Hmm. He took the iron card casually, Ye Chen didn't stop, and walked out of the room directly under the gaze of the two.
"Master Cangni, is he a refiner?" After seeing Ye Chen disappear, the middle-aged man asked in a low voice.
"It should be an alchemist. Gu Ni nodded, then frowned, and said to himself with some doubts: "But what kind of refiner is he?"
"Do you need to investigate his origins?" the middle-aged man said softly.
Cangni's eyes narrowed slightly, thought slightly, and shook his head slightly: "Don't do it for the time being, although the refiner is different from those alchemists, but there are also those with strange tempers, if the investigation catches his attention, I'm afraid it will make him have a bad impression of the auction house." ”
Turning his head, he glanced at the middle-aged man, and Cangni said lightly: "How to make him have a good impression of us, you should know what to do, right?"
