Chapter 179: Mysterious Woman
Seven days later, the auction finally arrived.
Zhao Sheng walked out of the inn, and according to the old man in the shop, he walked through the streets, and came to the southwest of Fenghuo Island, in front of a magnificent palace building.
Zhao Sheng stood at the corner of the street, not in a hurry, but just looked at the place where the auction was held.
As the time approached, the immortal cultivators came here one after another, they had different styles, some were above board, and some people deliberately covered up their appearances, but as long as they showed a letter of guarantee, the guards at the door would check and let them go.
"It seems that this auction will not recognize people, and it is very well guarded. A few days ago, I heard the shopkeeper say that for this auction, it is rare for Longgui Island to send a Jindan real person to sit here. I think it's for the sake of safety, and secondly, there are a lot of rare treasures in this auction. Zhao Sheng thought to himself with a calm face.
"I'm afraid that many of the people who came here today are specifically here for Tsukidan. This time there was a fight. ”
Thinking like this, Zhao Sheng, who had changed his face, turned out from the corner of the street and strode towards the entrance.
When he arrived at the door of the venue, he showed the guards a letter of guarantee on the jade page.
Just as he was about to walk in, Zhao Sheng's expression suddenly moved, and he turned his head to look behind him.
I saw that not far away, there were three unusually tall black-robed people, surrounded by a woman in a blue dress, walking here.
The woman was graceful, with a gauze hat on her head, and a white veil hung from it, obscuring her face.
Although he couldn't see the woman's appearance clearly, Zhao Sheng had a kind of seasonal movement in his heart, as if there seemed to be some kind of vague and secret connection between him and the woman.
"This woman... Who is it? Zhao Sheng was a little surprised in his heart,
Just as he was about to take another look, the guardian was already impatiently urging him to hurry in.
Zhao Sheng retracted his gaze, and walked into the venue with some thoughts in his heart.
On the other side, the white-gauze woman suddenly stopped, staring at the entrance of the auction with beautiful eyes, and looked at Zhao Sheng's slowly disappearing figure.
"Young master, why did you stop suddenly? Could it be that there is something wrong? ”
At this moment, an old voice suddenly came out of the woman's cuffs, and the voice was erratic, and she could only hear it.
"Worm Lao, did you see that person just now?" Wang Yingling shook the sleeves of her robe, bowed her head and muttered.
"Who? The old slave just now patronized the relics of the old ancestor and did not pay attention to the surroundings. ”
Wang Yingling licked her lips, and while walking forward, she secretly whispered: "I seem to have found a fellow clan, and it seems that the purity of the bloodline is not low."
"What?!"
……
……
"The auspicious time has arrived, and the auction has officially begun!"
In the grand venue, a heavy, magnetic voice came from the high platform in front of me.
The auction hall, which was originally a little whispering, immediately fell silent.
Then I saw a middle-aged man wearing a bright red robe, a long face and big ears, and a flame totem tattooed on his forehead, calmly walking up to the high platform in front of him.
In the venue below, more than 100 participants each occupied a round table and sat scattered throughout the venue.
As for some immortal cultivators with special identities or above the foundation realm, they are in the private room on the second floor, looking down on the venue below.
The number of people at the auction was a little small, but Zhao Sheng didn't feel too strange.
After all, just asking the merchant to make a guarantee and taking out the auction items that echo the requirements directly screened out most of the immortal cultivators who were not wealthy.
Auctions in the immortal cultivation world have always been expensive, whether it is the lot of money or the participants.
Being at the venue, Zhao Sheng couldn't see the depth of other people's cultivation realms. But judging from his rich experience, not to mention the private room on the second floor, there are at least five or more people in the venue on the first floor who are foundation building monks.
"Looks like I'm going to have to be more careful this time." Zhao Sheng thought secretly.
"Welcome to all the seniors, come to Wind and Fire Island to participate in this year's auction, I won't say much about the rules, I believe you already know that the highest bidder gets the treasure, if there are special requirements, barter is also allowed."
After speaking, the middle-aged man bowed respectfully to the lower left side of the high platform, and then recovered his body.
Everyone looked there, and saw a flaming mahogany chair placed alone on the left side of the high platform, on which sat a thin gray-robed old man.
The old man closed his eyes and rested on his chair, but the breath on his body was unfathomable.
This is the Jindan real person in the town.
The middle-aged man paused slightly, glanced at the people in the venue, and then said:
"Don't say anything superfluous! Everyone, please see the first treasure! ”
As he spoke, he slapped the storage bag with one hand, and a palm-sized jade box appeared in his hand, and the jade box was opened, and a golden-blue flying sword with a length of an inch was lying quietly in it.
"The first auction item, the best magic weapon, Gengjin Flying Sword, the sword body is doped with Gengjin, indestructible, the sword speed is three points faster than the same level flying sword, and it contains nine forbidden laws. The reserve price is 7,000 spirit stones, and each time the price is shouted, the increase must not be less than 100 spirit stones. The middle-aged man said proudly with a smile on his face.
As soon as these words came out, the scene was in an uproar.
You must know that the flying sword is the most demanding material requirement among the killing magic weapons. And sword cultivation is also famous "the sword is in the person, and the sword is dead".
Gengjin is the treasure of refining flying swords.
Even if the amount of heptyl gold doped with this flying sword is unknown, it may just be a gimmick.
Even seven thousand spirit stones can buy a low-grade spirit weapon.
But such a flying sword of excellent quality was enough to cause the coaxing of many immortal cultivators.
The first treasure I saw was the Gengjin Flying Sword. Zhao Sheng was a little disappointed, Gengjin was not uncommon at all.
If he can return to Middle-earth, he doesn't dare to say anything else, he can take out the Gengjin as big as a human head.
"Eight thousand!"
"Eight thousand one hundred!"
"Eight thousand eight hundred!"
……
Sure enough, as soon as this superb flying sword appeared, it caused everyone at the scene to raise the price.
After a fierce competition, this flying sword was snatched away by an old man with a cold face at a high price of 19,000 spirit stones.
At this time, the atmosphere of the venue was successfully heated by Gengjin Feijian. The next two treasures were an orange gold armor and a child and mother spirit shield, both of which were also the best magic weapons, and were auctioned for high prices of 6,000 and 9,000 spirit stones respectively.
The reason why this is so is naturally because defensive magic weapons are generally more difficult to refine than killing magic weapons, and the price is usually two to eighty percent higher, with the exception of flying swords.
Seeing this, Zhao Sheng couldn't help but be a little surprised in his heart.
The standard of this auction is not low! The lowest starting point is the best magic weapon, and the back is not the mainstream of spiritual weapons.
"The fourth auction item, the best talisman, the five-element talisman disk."
The words fell, and the middle-aged man took out a square wooden box with one hand.
I saw that he slapped it with one hand, and the lid of the box was immediately opened, revealing a piece of talisman with a diameter of a ruler, three layers of colorful colors, and a Zhou Tian gossip-shaped talisman plate. It looks delicate and abnormal, and faintly emits a five-colored halo.
"The Five Elements Chaos Disk, although it is limited to Fu cultivation, its main material is made of thousand-year-old psychic wood and Five Elements Spiritual Gold. A third-order refining master and it took seven seven and forty-nine days to refine. Although it is not a spiritual weapon, it is more precious than ordinary spiritual weapons. The middle-aged man held the talisman plate and said slowly.
As soon as these words came out, they naturally caused a commotion at the scene, and they asked why on the spot.
The middle-aged man smiled slightly, and said confidently, "That refining master originally wanted to refine a spirit-level talisman plate. However, because of a little change in the refining process, the result was that this talisman fell by a grade.
Although the grade is much lower than the original reservation, there are two more novel effects by chance, one is that it can carry a higher-grade talisman, and the highest can withstand the second-order high-grade true talisman. The second is to arrange the five elements of the rune on the rune plate, and when it is activated at the same time, the runes with different attributes will have a certain probability of abnormal changes under the guidance of the rune disk, such as the evolution of the five elements, the wind and the fire, and so on.
The former is okay, after all, high-grade true talismans are very rare, and they are rarely available.
But if the latter falls into the hands of a Taoist friend who cultivates both runes and laws, it is infinitely useful.
What's more, this talisman plate can be described as a clever hand, and it is almost impossible to refine the same second piece. So...... The starting price is 10,000 spirit stones! ”
Speaking of this, the middle-aged man deliberately paused to observe the reaction of everyone in the audience.
There was really another commotion in the audience, and many people were moved, and so was Zhao Sheng.
No matter what anyone else thought, he really wanted to photograph it.
With this sharp weapon, he was not at all afraid of the pre-foundation monks.
"Fifteen thousand spirit stones."
After the middle-aged man finished speaking, someone in the audience immediately spoke, and directly raised the price by five thousand spirit stones.
And such a high bid shocked many people, and even made some people swallow back the words that had already come to their lips.
After a long while, someone snorted coldly and shouted out 18,000 spirit stones.
Good guys, raised three thousand more.
And this shout immediately shouted back the vast majority of people.
After all, the Gengjin Flying Sword at the beginning was only 19,000 spirit stones.
After all, the use of a talisman is narrow, even if the collateral effect is rare and magical, this price is at the top.
At this time, Zhao Sheng, who was the first to bid, couldn't help frowning slightly.
It's not that he doesn't have spirit stones, not to mention the nearly 30,000 spirit stones he got from selling magic weapons before, and he doesn't say that he can also sell 10,000 spirit stones for spirit weapon painting scrolls. Even if you take out the pure Yin Spirit Stone dug at the bottom of the misty sea, it is enough to buy three or four such talisman plates.
It's just that he has some concerns in his heart, he will have to take pictures of Zhuji Dan later, if the spirit stone is not enough, it will inevitably expose the pure yin spirit stone.
With the rarity of the pure Yin Spirit Stone in the Shattered Star Sea, it was difficult to guarantee that the organizer would not fight his idea.
Just when Zhao Sheng was weighing the pros and cons, in a private room on the second floor, Wang Yingling secretly stared at his back.
"Young Master, are you sure that person really has the blood of the Holy Clan?" The old voice of the turtle elder sounded at this time.
"Hmm," Wang Yingling nodded lightly.
"Great! After this incident, we must bring this person back to the Void Spirit Realm, and the Great Priest will be very happy. Turtle Lao said excitedly.
This time, Wang Yingling only nodded, but did not say anything more.
And at this moment, a surging voice suddenly sounded in the venue:
"Twenty thousand spirit stones."
The person who made this bid was naturally Zhao Sheng.
He added another two thousand spirit stones in one go.
With such a high price, even some wealthy foundation building monks couldn't help but secretly shake their heads.
"Good, good. It seems that this Taoist friend is bound to get the Five Elements Rune Plate. Is there anyone who is a higher bidder than this? The middle-aged man was very happy and asked everyone again.
Seeing that no one in the audience had bid for a long time, the middle-aged man didn't care, and immediately announced that the rune plate belonged to Zhao Sheng.
After the auction of the talisman plate, the middle-aged man began to take out the spirit weapon-level treasures for auction, with a starting price of at least 10,000 spirit stones.
Zhao Sheng's spiritual artifact painting scroll was auctioned in the ninth piece, because it contained the red spiritual fire, and this place was the Wind and Fire Island, which was famous for refining weapons, so the final transaction price was higher than Zhao Sheng expected, and it was sold for 34,000 spirit stones.
……
“… Below, this treasure is provided by a certain Taoist friend, it is a white spirit turtle shell, which has the miraculous effect of turning evil into good fortune. The starting price is 20,000 spirit stones. ”
After speaking, the middle-aged man's palm flipped over, and a white jade turtle shell the size of a palm and a whole body as crystal as jade appeared in his hand.
As soon as these words came out, the entire cave fell into an extremely quiet and strange atmosphere.
Everyone was staring at the shell, but most of them looked dismissive.
This white jade turtle shell is very famous in Wind and Fire Island, and has been auctioned five times, and after each auction, it will be auctioned again in less than two years.
It is a well-known fact that the owner of this turtle shell died unexpectedly, and no one survived.
What kind of evil turns into good fortune, it should be the doom turtle shell!
Seeing this, the middle-aged man smiled awkwardly and asked everyone again if anyone had made a bid.
After a long while, a cold voice came from a private room on the second floor: "Twenty-one thousand!"
"Good! Deal! The middle-aged man no longer asked others, and immediately blurted out, as if he was afraid that someone would regret it.
Wang Yingling secretly breathed a sigh of relief when she saw this, it was good that no one competed with her.
It's just that she didn't notice that the flameless real person who had been closing his eyes under the high platform was squinting a slit in his eyes at this time, and his eyes were looking at her intentionally or unintentionally.
Three hours later, the auction had come to an end.
"Ahem!"
The middle-aged man coughed twice deliberately, focusing everyone's attention on him, and then confidently took out three green jade pill bottles.
Seeing the appearance of the Dan bottle, the venue suddenly quieted down, and everyone's hearts were hot, and their eyes eagerly looked at the middle-aged man on the high platform.
Seeing this, the middle-aged man poured out a white elixir with a round dragon eye and a strange fragrance from the pill bottle and displayed it in front of everyone.
"This is Tsukidan, and the number is three. The grades are all inferior. Its value, even if I don't say it, Taoist friends will naturally know it. So I won't talk about the superfluous.
The auction is available in both light and dark formats. The price of the Ming auction starts at 30,000 spirit stones, and the price increase is not less than 1,000 spirit stones each time. For the same price, high-grade spirit stones are preferred. Secret shots can be exchanged for other treasures, exercises, and secret arts. ”
There were as many as three Tsukidans, which was really a surprise to everyone.
You must know that in previous years, most of them only had one, for people to compete for.
The middle-aged man seemed to be very satisfied with everyone's shocked expressions, and after pausing for a while, he said with confidence on his face:
"Okay, you can write down the price of the secret auction, or you can participate in the open auction. As for who can get these three precious Tsukidans in the end, it is up to the Flameless True Person. ”
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the venue was suddenly extremely tense, and many people looked at the flameless real person with awe and envy in their eyes.
Demon Museum
There was silence in the room again, and no one was the first to speak, as if they were waiting for others to speak first.
The middle-aged man was not in a hurry, but quietly looked at everyone in the audience.
"Thirty-three thousand spirit stones. Since they don't even speak. Then it's up to the old man to start. After a moment, an old man with a grim face spoke slowly.
