On the second day, Zhou Kun and the bookworm found a medicine refining workshop, which was large-scale, and consisted of alchemy furnaces of different qualities.

"The most ordinary alchemy room is fifty taels an hour, and if the son wants to practice for a day, he only needs to pay six hours of silver taels, which is also three hundred taels. "The beautiful woman had a smile on her face and was hospitable.

But this price still made Zhou Kun dare not compliment, he only had more than fifty taels on him, and he never thought that the alchemy workshop would charge such a high fee, and the guest house was only three taels of silver a day.

"Thank you, girl, there is no silver tael on the lower body for the time being, come back in a few days. Zhou Kun smiled lightly.

The beautiful woman's face was slightly stunned when she heard this, and then the smile was retracted, and the enthusiasm disappeared.

"Yes. With a roar, he turned away and whispered to the other women.

"I'm so angry, but a talented person is a poor scholar, how can he be an alchemist without silver taels?"

"Xiaoqing, haven't you always had a vicious eye, and there are times when you miss?" the companion woman chuckled in a low voice.

"How did I know that this poor scholar would be so rash, and dare to come to the alchemy shop without any money, just because of his appearance. The beautiful woman named Xiaoqing was a little annoyed.

Zhou Kun looked indifferent, and slowly walked out of the medicine refining workshop, thinking about how to exchange it for silver taels.

"Boy, you're despised, haha. The bookworm gloated.

Zhou Kun shook his head and didn't care much: "I don't care about human nature, at most I will ignore her next time." ”

"Boy, sell the ancient books in the storage bag and the bamboo slips. "Bookworm Transsion suggested selling something.

"I'm planning to do this, but I don't know the price in the market, if I am deceived by a black-hearted merchant, it is not worth it, after all, it is something we have worked so hard to get, and the rent of this alchemy workshop is too high, and it is a little unbearable. Zhou Kun shook his head and said, Rao was in the heyday of his Zhou family, and he couldn't stand the long-term burning of money in this alchemy workshop.

"You are cultivating, otherwise you will definitely sell a lot. The other piece of 'Chiyan Knife' bamboo slip is a yellow rank medium grade, although it is not very good, but it should be able to sell for a small amount of money.

The main thing is that ancient book, with the eagle old man entering the peak realm of the research realm, he can still keep it on his body, it must be of some value, and the fragrance of the book is also quite strong, but it is a pity that it is not suitable for your cultivation. The bookworm said.

"With the money exchanged for these two things, I don't know if I can rent a medicine shop for a few days, and I also need to buy some basic medicinal materials to practice. Thinking of this, Zhou Kun was a little big, this was the first time he was troubled by money.

"Don't worry, boy, don't underestimate the value of these ancient books and literary fighting skills, you are in the academy, these things are not worrying to you at all, but in reality, there are still many small academies and young masters, most people can't find high-quality ancient books in the academy, and some old people in big families, either for themselves or for their juniors, will go to some auctions to find good opportunities. "The bookworm is very indifferent and seems to know very well.

"Have you ever done anything about the auction?" Zhou Kun looked at him suspiciously.

"It's low-key, just occasionally. The bookworm laughed cheekily.

"I'll go to the auction later, don't make trouble. Zhou Kun reminded the bookworm, and then continued: "Unless you say that there is something terrible, don't do it." ”

......

After some inquiry, Zhou Kun learned that the largest auction house in the city was in the center of the city, and there happened to be a large-scale auction today, ready to start.

After hearing this, he rushed to the auction house, and a young man with sharp eyes saw that Zhou Kun was dressed extraordinarily and showed talent, so he immediately ran over to receive him.

"This boy is very good-looking, but it's the first time I've come here, I don't know what help Childe needs?" said the little guy.

"I want to auction something, an ancient book and a set of literary skills. Zhou Kun nodded.

The little maid was overjoyed when he heard this, and said with a smile: "Childe and I are here, we have a special appraiser, who will identify and evaluate your ancient books and literary fighting skills, and then open a reserve price for you to participate, or you can also choose to barter, but after the auction is successful, we need to charge five percent of the transaction price." ”

Zhou Kun nodded slightly when he heard this, and had no objection, with the scale and security of this auction house, the five percent handling fee is not high.

The little guy explained while leading the way, and finally took Zhou Kun to a room, where an old man with the title of the book was sitting.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this son is going to auction off ancient books and literary fighting skills. The little guy said respectfully.

"Oh, there have been a lot of people auctioning these these days in recent days, but unfortunately there has been no real quality. An old man with a black face shook his head when he heard this.

"This little brother, don't care, you can take it out and let me wait for the appraisal. The other old man looked kind and smiled at Zhou Kun and Yan.

Zhou Kun nodded, took out the green bamboo slip of the old eagle, put it in front of several old men, and then put it in his arms to prepare to take out the estimate.

"The middle grade of the yellow order is just so-so. The black-faced old man glanced at it, shook his head and finished speaking, and was no longer interested.

Immediately afterwards, Zhou Kun took out the ancient book and put it in front of several people.

Seeing this, the kind old man hurriedly put down the bamboo slip in his hand, picked up the ancient book, and frowned slightly.

"The Book of Ten Thousand Rites, a book of Confucianism. The old man nodded slightly, he himself practiced Taoism, but he also knew that the ancient books of Confucianism would attract more cultivators.

"Wait......" At this moment, the black face suddenly turned his head and looked at the ancient book.

"I felt an unusual meaning, and the smell of this book was also very strong, and it was simply a good book for Confucian people. After the black-faced old man took the ancient book, he laughed heartily, "I finally saw a masterpiece, boy, or you can make a price, and I will buy it from you privately, and your handling fee will be waived." ”

"......" Zhou Kun frowned slightly after hearing this, this is not easy to do, the price obtained from the auction is bound to be much more than that of selling to this old man.

"Nonsense, have you forgotten the rules of the auction house? If you are interested, you will go to the auction by yourself later. The kind old man glared suddenly.

The black-faced old man also stared at his eyes and blew his beard, as if he was not convinced, but he couldn't think of any words to talk back, the two just looked at each other like this, and finally under the persuasion of the other two old men, they shook their hands and sat upright.

"This son, after the appraisal of the four of us, the reserve price of this fighting skill is recommended to be 1,000 taels, and it is estimated that the final transaction price will be about 5,000 taels.

As for this ancient book, it is a fine work, and we will auction it together with the last few finale items, with a suggested reserve price of 100,000 taels, and an estimated transaction price of around 450,000 taels. Another old man said.

"If you have any gentlemen, let's auction it at this price. Zhou Kun nodded and replied indifferently, and he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, the literary fighting skills were reversed, and this ancient book was far beyond Zhou Kun's expectations, and it was even offered such a high price, so that there was no need to worry about refining medicine.

"The auction is about to start, if the little brother is fine, he can also enter the house to watch, and if he sees a satisfactory item, he can participate in the auction. The kind old man smiled slightly.

Zhou Kun also happened to have this idea, there were a few special flavors on the Divine Cultivation Pill, and he wanted to take this opportunity to see if there was any harvest at the auction.

So he nodded and said, "Thank you, sir, then I'll enter and wait first." ”

Walking out of the room, the little guy followed out with a smile on his face, guiding Zhou Kun all the way into the field.

"By the way, is there an independent wing room here?" Zhou Kun suddenly asked, if he could see the treasure, he didn't want to reveal his identity and take pictures.

"Childe doesn't have to worry about safety, there is a magic circle on each seat here, once the auction starts, outsiders can't see the people in the circle, and in the process, each chair will move randomly.

If you want to bid the price, just press the mechanism on the chair and call out the price, the auctioneer will know, and after the auction, we will send the successful bidder and the chair to the secret room for trading. The little guy explained.

Zhou Kun was a little surprised when he heard this, the secret way is worthy of the largest auction house, and it can be arranged so carefully and carefully, which also completely guarantees the safety of everyone**.
