Volume 15 Chapter 9 [Emerald City and the Auction House]
Volume 15, Chapter 9 [Emerald City and the Auction House]
Wang Rui was no longer in the carriage, but also on the horse, and Ha Na was instructed by Aurora to guard Wang Rui's side in full armor, not leaving an inch, guarding his safety.
Although Ha Na's strength is redundant, Wang Rui is still grateful for her heart.
Ten miles of road passed in a flash, and the tall Emerald City walls came into view.
The city is known as as an emerald-like city, thanks to a natural amber that is set in the center of the castle like a jewel, covering about one-third of the city's area.
Any division-level powerhouse who can fly can see the whole picture of the Emerald City from the air, and the natural amber is extremely shocking, and the Emerald City is worthy of its name.
Within ten miles, other fourth-level territory teams in the territory were constantly coming at this time.
There are more than twenty fourth-level territories under the rule of Emerald City, among which Grand City is the strongest, followed by Fire Phoenix City, and the rest of the cities are much inferior.
However, in the past ten years, Grand City has developed extremely rapidly, and it is almost no less than Emerald City in all aspects, so there is also a rumor that is very prevalent, that is, in the future, Emerald City will be replaced by Grand City, and Emerald City will gradually die.
Originally, the envoy team of Fire Phoenix City was relatively luxurious, but because of a major incident, the team was less than half of the people, so compared to other fourth-level cities at this time, it looked shabby.
However, Wang Rui didn't care, and motioned everyone to enter the city as soon as possible and arrange all the matters of the challenge.
The guards naturally did not dare to slack off in the face of the envoy team of the Fire Phoenix City, and after a simple inspection, they were released, and when they entered the city, those who came for the first time would be shocked by the beauty of the Emerald City, especially the huge natural lake, which was not enjoyable.
In the past few days, there have been many representative teams coming to Emerald City, and Wang Rui signaled the barbarian monk Allen who led the team to get the procedures and precautions of the challenge as soon as possible, so that he could be familiar with it and have a better chance of winning.
While Wang Rui is confident that he can beat Mordwiev, he still wants to be as dominant as possible.
The inn where he stayed was more luxurious, after all, it was a third-level territory, and all kinds of resources were much richer, and it was no longer inferior to the first-class junior sect in Dongxuanzhou.
When Allen took people to collect information about this challenge, Wang Rui took Hana to the city to taste all kinds of food, and several guards and monks who accompanied him felt a little incredible, obviously the challenge was about to start, but Wang Rui didn't seem to pay attention to it at all.
Han Na was very embarrassed at first, but she couldn't stand Wang Rui's constant temptation with the delicacies of the Emerald City, but in the end, she still fell and ate happily.
The city is mainly centered on the artificial lake - Emerald Lake, which is distributed in a circular shape, which can be mainly divided into several major plates such as food area, play area, ancient book area, weapon area, pill area, trade area, etc., and some special areas that are not open to the public.
Wang Rui and Han Na and their entourage mainly visited the three major areas of the food area, the play area and the trade area, and they were not interested in the others for the time being.
Here, Wang Rui finally saw the spirit stone as the main bargaining chip in the transaction, no longer like the Fire Phoenix City, which is basically still dominated by gold and silver, and the spirit stone is only a small part. As for the Fire Silkworm Village, there is no spirit stone at all, and it is no wonder that when the guard Lu Erhan saw Wang Rui give him a spirit stone, he didn't dare to take it, it was too valuable.
After Wang Rui and the others had eaten and drunk enough, they finally came to the trade area, and at this time he only had a very small amount of low-grade spirit stones on his body, and the rest had been consumed by his mana recovered during his years of retreat or battle.
There are two most valuable things on his body at the moment, both of which are pills, one is the Fixing Pill, which can make the appearance at that time remain unchanged until the moment of sitting down after taking it. The other is the elixir that can prolong longevity - "Yannian Pill", and the Yannian Pill in his hand is at least medium-grade, there are about hundreds, all of them were in the village in the treasure hunting battlefield back then, he and the two girls Crimson and Shenxue were refined together, there are hundreds of them, but they have not been used much over the years, and he has not swallowed any of them.
Thinking of the deep red and deep snow, Wang Rui was suddenly shocked in his heart, remembering that he had a hundred-year contract with the people of that village, pinched his fingers and counted it, and found that it was less than twenty years since the date of fulfillment of this agreement.
"Sins and Sins......" Thinking of his two Dan Dao female disciples, as well as the clan elders and others in the village, he immediately deepened his impression of this promise in his heart, and planned to fulfill his promise immediately after rushing back to Dongxuanzhou.
Fortunately, the Treasure Hunting Battlefield has been sealed since the fall of the Realm Lord, and only he can enter, but for the time being, there is no need to worry about being found by the Shadows.
"Big brother, are we really going in?" Han Na asked with some uneasiness, there is an auction house here in the trade area, similar to the Wanbao Pavilion in East Xuanzhou.
Wang Rui nodded and said, "I need to earn some spirit stones, and you can also take the opportunity to see the world."
The guards and monks who were responsible for protecting him were temporarily sent out by Wang Rui to relax, after all, this was in the Emerald City, with the strength of Master Wang Rui, there was no need to worry too much about his comfort, these guards and monks were grateful to Wang Rui for his generosity and accommodation, and they all agreed to pick him up at the door of the auction house after an hour.
After entering the auction house, Hana felt the atmosphere of throwing thousands of dollars, and the people inside were all in the hall, roaring around a huge crystal panel, some were gritting their teeth and shouting the word "up", while others were shouting the word "down", making speculative transactions. Some people do not hesitate to issue bounty tasks, wanting to get rare treasures or the cave information of some powerful monks who have been seated, and want to explore treasures.
In short, as long as you have spirit stones here, you can get what you want, no matter what it is, the difference is only a matter of time.
Wang Rui waited for Hana to slowly get used to the atmosphere here, and then took out two hooded robes from the storage bag that he had previously applied mana, one for each person, and then motioned for her to put them on like himself.
"Big brother, what is this for, why do you want to hide your identity?" Hana asked puzzled as she put on her robe.
Wang Rui explained: "The things that the big brother will sell will be more special, you can't hurt people, but you can't have the heart to guard against people, you have to be cautious in the future, if there are any treasures in your hands that need to be auctioned here, then you must do a good job of protection, and you can't take them directly, unless your strength can not be afraid of anyone."
"I see...... Ha Na quickly understood, so she followed Wang Rui to a counter.
Wang Rui had already observed that the manager of this counter was relatively honest and easy to deal with.
There was almost no one in line, just three or two people waited in front of them, and after a few questions, they shook their heads and left, it seems that this person is not very good at guiding sellers and buyers.
Wang Rui took out two boxes from the storage bag, both of which were the same size, and they contained three medium-grade longevity pills and a Dingyan pill respectively.
These two elixirs were well-known everywhere, and both belonged to that very rare type, but Wang Rui was not sure if the barbarians needed them here.
"Steward, I have two things that I have to register and put on the shelves." Wang Rui handed him the two boxes.
The steward, a man in his thirties, immediately showed a smile on his face when he saw Wang Rui, took the box, and said with a smile, "I don't know what the guest officer wants to auction? We at Emerald City Auction House are recognized as being undeceitful."
"It's nothing, these two things are Yannian Pill and Dingyan Dan." Wang Rui said lightly.
"Oh, it turned out to be an elixir, a longevity pill...... Well...... It seems to be a familiar medicine...... Dingyan Dan? What is this, wait......" Suddenly, the man looked up, as if he had noticed something incredible.
His face instantly turned red, and then he stood up excitedly, and even accidentally hit his toes, and immediately screamed in pain, making many people around him laugh when they saw his funny appearance.
Wang Rui stretched out his finger and cast a star spirit spell to purify the person's pain and wounds, and suddenly the man instantly quieted down, which made the people around him impressed.
"This man is good at healing."
"Why didn't I feel the fluctuation of spiritual power just now?"
"No, you're not mistaken."
"Maybe his cultivation is weird."
"This person's dress is obviously not wanting to show his true face, and it's really mysterious."
With the whispering of everyone, Han Na became nervous, and Wang Rui took her hand, squeezed it, and gave her encouragement.
After the steward recovered, he immediately knew that Wang Rui was not simple, so he immediately picked up the two boxes and said, "Honorable guest, I need to take the goods to the elders for screening, please wait." After speaking, he picked up a pen and wrote the names of "Yannian Dan" and "Dingyan Dan" on two slips of paper.
"It's okay, we'll just wait." Wang Rui nodded, and then the steward put the two boxes into a secret compartment, and quickly entered the underground through the special passage inside, and came to the elders who were screening the special auction items.
A tall old man with a gray beard took the two boxes, looked at the note pasted on them, and his eyes lit up suddenly, and then he lifted a silver bell beside him, shook it, and suddenly made a jingling sound.
Soon, three half-hundred-year-olds, who were also tall, came over with heavier steps.
"Dead old man, have you found a peerless treasure and called several of us over?"
"If you don't give me a proper reason, I'll beat you up."
"Hope is not an empty joy."
Several people came to the old man, then took the two boxes, and then they all fell into silence.
Soon, the four of them began to divide the labor and conduct identification.
"The quality is good, compared to the Yannian Pill I have seen before, it is even better, and if you take one of them, I am afraid you can prolong your life for more than ten years."
"It's really incredible, three of them appeared at once, didn't they get it by accident, but someone deliberately refined it?"
"Fix the face of the pill? It's really a Dingyan Pill, I have tested it with an ancient method, and it is indeed a legendary Dingyan Pill, although the use seems to be chicken, it is enough to make countless men and women crazy."
"What is the origin of this person, and why does he have two rare treasures?"
"Could it be an alchemy master?"
"Maybe it's the Grandmaster."
After two incense sticks, the two appraisal results were sent to the steward's backstage along with the two boxes, and both gave a rare evaluation.
