Chapter 56: The Auction
The old man didn't speak, but raised his hand to grab the jade bottle. Nie Fei blocked it with his hand and said with a smile: "Slow down, slow down." As he spoke, he grabbed the jade bottle and pulled out the cork. Suddenly, a majestic aura filled the room, and the old man suddenly sensed it, and his eyes couldn't help but brighten a little. Nie Fei poured out two drops of spiritual liquid from the jade bottle and sent them to the old man, "Fellow Daoist, these two drops of medicinal liquid are enough, you can identify them." ”
Seeing that Nie Fei was so stingy, Shopkeeper Chen only poured out two drops of the medicinal liquid, and thought to himself: Could this medicinal liquid really be that kind of magnificent treasure as he said? Otherwise, why would he be so stingy?
The old man looked at the two drops of the liquid, and then swallowed the liquid in his mouth with the palm of his hand. Then he closed his eyes slightly, as if savoring the taste of the potion. Nie Fei smiled secretly in his heart: The Spiritual Relief Herbal Liquid, because it was extracted from the Spiritual Relief Herb, had a bitter taste, except for the fact that the spiritual energy was sufficient, it really had no taste, and the old man still looked like he was enjoying it.
After a while, the old man opened his eyes, glanced at the jade bottle twice, nodded to the shopkeeper Chen, and then turned back. Shopkeeper Chen grew his mouth, and he didn't understand what the old man meant, so he chased after him and asked, "Lao Lao, what do you mean......?"
The old man said flatly: "This is a strange treasure, this is true." With that, he walked into the inner room without looking back. As soon as the old man entered the inner room, his steps couldn't help but quicken, and he couldn't see a trace of old age. He walked into a room, closed the door, and took out a red-billed gold-winged finch from the storage bag. This finch is called the red-beaked finch, which is very psychic, and it is also a spirit animal. The old man took out a piece of rune paper, laid a few divine senses on it, tied the rune paper to the claws of the red-beaked finch, and then came to the window, and with a shock of his arm, the red-beaked finch immediately flew out of the sky.
The red-beaked finch flew for a moment, broke into a room in an inn, and landed on a wooden table in the room. At the table, one on the left and one on the right were eating and drinking, and when they saw the little finch, the thin man with a green face on the left hurriedly grabbed it with his hand and took off the talisman paper on the little finch's paws. After sensing the rune paper for a moment, he suddenly shook his hand, and the rune paper burned spontaneously, and after a while, it turned into flying ash.
This person clapped his hands and said to a tall and thin man opposite: "Second brother, Lao Lao has a letter, let's do business." Let's go. With that, the two of them threw down their glasses and walked out of the inn.
......
Speaking of Shopkeeper Chen, although he has seen a lot, he has never seen such a treasure as the Spiritual Relief Herbal Liquid. It took a long time for him to wake up from his horror and ask, "Immortal Chief, do you want to sell this bottle of spiritual liquid?" ”
Nie Fei smiled slightly, reached out and grabbed the jade bottle, and kicked it into his arms. Shopkeeper Chen's eyes kept staring at Nie Fei's hand until Nie Fei took the jade bottle into his arms, Shopkeeper Chen couldn't wait for it, and his eyes also entered his arms. "Benxian has no intention of selling it for the time being. Nie Fei said lightly.
Shopkeeper Chen swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva, in fact, Shopkeeper Chen has been in Guangde Building for many years, and he has seen the market. But it was the first time he had seen such an extraordinary and valuable treasure as the spiritual liquid, so even he could not maintain normalcy. Shopkeeper Chen barely calmed down and said: "Immortal Chief, I Guangde Building promises that if you resell this treasure to this building, this building will definitely give you a price that you are satisfied with." ”
Nie Fei smiled and said, "I'll talk about this later." So is Benxian eligible to participate in the auction?"
"Of course, of course......" Shopkeeper Chen heard that there was still hope, and immediately stammered Nie Fei, just wanting to sell the treasure to him if the immortal chief was satisfied. Shopkeeper Chen exchanged for a man, "Rong Er, you take this immortal chief to the auction." Remember, this immortal chief is a distinguished guest in this building, you must serve it well, if there is anything that dissatisfies the immortal chief, I will ask you. ”
When the guy saw that Shopkeeper Chen had a solemn expression, how dare he slack off. He waited carefully all the way, and respectfully led Nie Fei into a hall under the Guangde Building.
Entering the hall, Nie Fei glanced around a few times. I saw that the hall was very spacious, the length and width were about 50 meters, obviously, the entire Guangde Building underground was covered by this hall.
There were already many people sitting in the hall at this time, and Nie Fei took a cursory glance and saw that there were more than a hundred people. Because the hall is very large, although there are so many people, it is not obviously crowded. The light in the hall was very dim, and only the figures of these people could be faintly seen, but their faces were not very clear. Only in front of the hall was a high platform, but the high platform was brightly lit.
The guy led Nie Fei to a seat in the middle of the hall and sat down, and then stood behind Nie Fei. Nie Fei looked around, most people didn't pay attention to his arrival, they just looked at the stage intently. Only one person beside him glanced at Nie Fei's face and then looked away. Nie Fei couldn't help but pay attention to the man, and found that the man was looking left and right, his butt moving around, and he looked very anxious.
At this time, a shopkeeper of Guangde Building, dressed in a green shirt, walked up to the stage and stood behind a table. He held a brass bell in his left hand and his right hand empty, smiling at the crowd.
A guy walked up to the stage, holding a jade box in his hand, put it on the table, and stepped back from the stage. I saw the shopkeeper glance around the field, and said: "Fellow Daoists, this treasure is a three-hundred-year-old He Shou Wu, which has been identified by my Guangde Building and confirmed to be correct. The low price is one thousand spirit stones, and each time the price increases, it must not be less than one hundred spirit stones. Alright, let's get started. When the shopkeeper said this, he cleared his throat and said loudly: "A thousand spirit stones, one ......."
Before the shopkeeper's words fell, Nie Fei heard a voice next to him shouting hurriedly: "One thousand and one thousand spirit stones, I will give out one thousand and one thousand spirit stones." Nie Fei looked at the place where the voice came from, and saw that it was the person who was quite anxious just now.
"One thousand fifteen. A voice said unhurriedly.
"Two thousand spirit stones. A woman's feminine voice sounded again.
"Two thousand one hundred...... Two thousand one hundred spirit stones. It was the man next to Nie Fei who shouted. Nie Fei glanced at him twice, although the person's appearance was not too clear, but it could be seen that the muscles on his face were beating slightly, obviously this price had made him a little unbearable.
"Two thousand one hundred spirit stones, is there anything higher than two thousand one hundred spirit stones?" Two thousand one hundred spirit stones, once, two thousand one hundred spirit stones, two ......" With the voice of the shopkeeper, Nie Fei noticed that the face of the person beside him gradually showed joy.
At this moment, I suddenly heard someone shouting loudly: "Three thousand, three thousand spirit stones." As soon as he shouted these words, no one asked him for a price, so this three-hundred-year-old He Shou Wu was bought by that man at the price of 3,000 spirit stones.
Seeing this situation, Nie Fei couldn't help but smack his tongue in his heart, the three-hundred-year-old He Shou Wu tree, its effect is also to increase aura, that is, it can shorten the cultivation by one month, but someone paid a high price of three thousand spirit stones to buy it. Then his bottle of antidote herbal liquid...... Nie Fei couldn't even imagine it.
Nie Fei turned his head and looked at the person next to him again, only to see that the person shook his head and paused, obviously very annoyed that He Shou Wu was snatched away at the price of three thousand spirit stones.
