Chapter 13 Auctions
The housekeeper did not take ten minutes to bring a storage bag over, standing respectfully beside the city lord, the city lord made a look at him, and the housekeeper immediately respectfully handed the storage bag to Gu Mingzhu and said: "Miss, this is the monthly profit from the time you were six years old, and the monthly profit of the concubine is 1 medium-grade spirit stone, there are a total of 96 here, you count it." After speaking, he put it on Gu Mingzhu's table,
Gu Mingzhu didn't look at it, turned his head to look at the city lord and said, "Of course I believe in my father and the housekeeper." β
This banquet, the city lord's wife, has been blackening her face, after all, 96 medium-grade spirit stones are a huge amount of money. Why has this girl changed so much, do you know something?
Su Wei stopped staying here when he saw this, so he made an excuse and left here.
When he just walked to the back garden, he was stopped by the people behind, and the delicate voice sounded: "Brother Su, I don't offend you like this, right?" Su Wei turned his head to look at Gu Mingzhu and smiled: "It's okay, but this is not the place to talk, let's go out and talk about it." β
Su Wei turned around and left the City Lord's Mansion, Gu Mingzhu followed closely behind him, and after arriving at the inn, Su Wei changed back into his own clothes before letting Gu Mingzhu come in, Gu Mingzhu stuffed the storage bag he had just gotten into Su Wei's hand with sincerity: "Brother Su, this is a little bit of my heart, please don't refuse me, here are 70 medium-grade spirit stones." β
Su Wei pushed it away: "It's good for you to keep these spirit stones for yourself, I can't use them." β
When Gu Mingzhu heard this, she looked at Su Wei with tears in her eyes: "Are you disgusted with me for repaying this?" It's really not good enough, and I'll try to give you other good things. β
Su Wei instantly had a little headache: "Okay, I'll take it, don't think like this, these are good enough." β
She began to ask Gu Mingzhu, "Do you know the auction house?"
Gu Mingzhu was a little melancholy, "I know, but the invitation letter of the Gu family has never been my share." β
Su Wei chuckled: "It's okay, I'll take you there." β
The two said that the morning after tomorrow, Gu Mingzhu would come to the inn to find her and participate in the auction together.
The morning after tomorrow, when Su Wei opened the door, he saw that Gu Mingzhu was already waiting at the door, and Su Wei still had a good impression of people who were on time.
The two said hello briefly and went to Hengtian Auction House together.
After arriving, Su Wei looked at the particularly large Hengtian Auction House, the golden five words, and smiled slightly, this auction house is indeed Hao, even the reception at the door is a monk in the foundation building period, Su Wei and Gu Mingzhu stepped forward and were stopped by the reception, Gu Mingzhu couldn't help but pull Su Wei's sleeve.
And Su Wei calmly took off the storage bag and threw it to the reception, and when the reception was still verifying, there were already several carriages waiting behind. After the reception was verified, he respectfully handed the storage bag to Su Wei, Su Wei took it and raised his feet and walked inside, and a female receptionist led Su Wei to the private room.
The carriages waiting outside were curious about where this force came from, after all, it took two hundred medium-grade spirit stones to enter the auction house, and everyone knew it.
The auction house has a total of six floors, and there are five floors outside, and Su Wei is arranged in a private room on the third floor, and it doesn't matter to Su Wei how many floors he has, as long as he can auction goods.
She looked at Gu Mingzhu, who was sitting upright, and couldn't help but sigh, although Gu Mingzhu didn't enjoy the treatment of the young lady, but the etiquette was still very good, Su Wei picked up a pattern of dim sum and handed it to her, "It will take a while to start, you can taste the dim sum first." β
Gu Mingzhu was a little surprised, and quickly got up and took it, and smiled sweetly: "Thank you." β
Su Wei looked at Gu Mingzhu and smiled softly as she took a small bite of food. He asked casually, "Do you have a fancy to this auction?" β
She thought about it seriously and shook her head, Su Wei looked at her and said, "You are the main water spirit root, you can see if there is a treasure weapon suitable for you in the back." β
Gu Mingzhu hurriedly shook his head and said, "It's still not possible, let's talk about it later." β
Su Wei frowned when he heard this, but he didn't say anything more. Someone knocked on the door and a receptionist came in with a sweet voice: "Hello, the auction starts in 10 minutes, and this is all the goods in this auction." After speaking, he handed over a booklet, Su Wei raised his hand to take it and said lightly: "Hmm." β
Su Wei opened it, glanced at it casually, and then put it in front of Gu Mingzhu and said, "Start it right away, you can take a look." Gu Mingzhu picked it up, flipped it twice, and saw a light blue water-based silk treasure weapon, focusing on the upgraded type. Gu Mingzhu quickly flipped through and put the booklet on the table again. Sneaking a look at Su Wei, she was relieved to find that she was looking outside. Then his expression dropped again, and he sighed slightly.
I saw a beautiful woman with a beautiful figure walking up on the high platform below, and her voice was full of excitement: "Welcome everyone to participate in the auction held by our Hengtian Auction House, I believe you have been waiting for a long time, then I won't talk nonsense, the first auction item ......." β
A light shone on the other receptionist, who gracefully pulled the red satin open to reveal the original merchandise inside. A golden bow and arrow treasure is exposed in front of everyone's eyes with golden light, and there is no doubt that it is accompanied by the beautiful woman's endless recommendation and explanation
The first item was auctioned at a good price, ending with 5,000 lower-grade spirit stones, which has exceeded the original value of the product. Su Wei smiled when he saw this, which was a little interesting.
Soon came the fourth product, the light blue water system silk treasure. The beauty gushed and explained: "Don't look at this as a treasure, but it's an upgraded one!" This product starts with 1000 spirit stones! Start now! β
The nun sitting downstairs was the first to call out the price
'One Thousand Five'
'Two thousand'
'Two Thousand Five'
'Three thousand' .......
Until a male voice came from the fourth floor, "Five thousand." β
This is the first item that the customer upstairs ordered. Immediately no one continued to shout downstairs.
The beautiful woman received a smile and said, "Five thousand once!" Five....... β
Suddenly came from the third floor: "Six thousand." β
Downstairs, someone whispered: "Who is on the third floor, don't you know that the fourth floor is the royal position?" It's too bold. β
The voice on the fourth floor was a little irritated: "Seven thousand! β
Su Wei smiled slightly: "Nine thousand." β
Gu Mingzhu looked at Su Wei in disbelief for an instant, and couldn't help but pull her sleeve and said in a small voice: "Let's not shoot, okay?" β
Su Wei's hand was gently put on her hand to reassure, "It's okay."
Outside, they are no longer talking secretly, and they are all very curious to see if the fourth floor will still call.
The person on the fourth floor leaned directly on the window and shouted below: "Who is it?" Quote your name! Dare to steal something from me?! Someone below has already called out his name, Shangguan Zimo! Soon, Shangguan Zimo was pulled back by the people behind him, and he stopped talking in the back.
Of course, Su Wei heard the name of the person downstairs, raised his eyes, and looked at Gu Mingzhu and said, "That person just now should be your fiancΓ©." β
Gu Mingzhu looked at Su Wei and said worriedly, "Then will he retaliate against you?" Why don't we leave now? β
Su Wei heard this and said, "Don't worry about him. After a while, there was a voice of reception outside, and after coming in, the reception put the goods on the table and smiled: "Please pay nine thousand spirit stones." After Su Wei paid, he thanked him and turned to leave.
Su Wei opened the package and looked at the shawl lying inside, and handed it to Gu Mingzhu: "I've never liked to take other people's products, this is my return gift." β
Gu Mingzhu's eyes were a little moist and said, "Thank you." But please save it for me first, I don't fit to wear it now. Su Wei took it and put it away: "Then when do you want it?" β
Gu Mingzhu: "Don't worry, I will definitely find you later." β
Su Wei didn't shoot a few items one after another. The beautiful lady below is explaining a product that has come down.
I saw a male receptionist pull up a cage, and pulled a red satin inside was a young female mermaid, with hair, eyes, and fish tail the color of the sea.
The white skin can't hide her grace, it's a natural stunner.
The male cultivators below cheered and began to shout for a price, and the beautiful reception smiled slightly: "Then I won't introduce much, the starting price is five medium-grade spirit stones!" Each price increase shall not be less than 1 medium-grade spirit stone! β
The man on the first floor heard this, 'Ah! Is it so expensive? On the contrary, it was the fourth floor that first called out the price of "six medium-grade spirit stones"
The second floor also followed: "Seven pieces." β
Soon, 30 medium-grade spirit stones were shouted, and they gradually entered a white-hot state. Gu Mingzhu looked at the mermaid on the stage and couldn't help but look at Su Wei and said, "Do you want to take pictures too?" β
Su Wei raised his eyebrows and said lightly: "Do you like it?" β
Gu Mingzhu sighed and looked at the mermaid on the stage and said, "I either like her, I think she is so pitiful, and I also want to protect her." β
Su Wei was silent for a moment and said, "35 medium-grade spirit stones." The two who had been calling each other heard the opening on the third floor, and one of them withdrew and stopped talking.
The fifth floor continued: "40 pieces"
Su Wei said lightly: "45 pieces"
5th Floor: "50 Blocks"
In one of the rooms on the fifth floor, a man calmly held a cup of tea and looked at the mermaid indifferently. "60 pieces"
The man frowned: "70 yuan." This is my final price, if you add it you should consider whether you can take it with you! β
Su Wei said lightly: "71 pieces." β
Downstairs heard this, and there was another uproar, and there was another person who dared to openly threaten the auction house.
Sure enough, the beautiful lady downstairs smiled and said: "In Hengtian Auction House, Hengtian will auction goods to ensure that you arrive home safely~" In an instant, the Jindan period of coercion on his body fluttered in the auction house,
Su Wei smiled when he heard this: "I thank you." The beauty smiled and continued with the next auction. After a while, the reception sent the mermaid over. Gu Mingzhu stepped forward to release the mermaid and was stopped by the reception,
The receptionist said: "This mermaid is not completely tamed yet, are you sure you want to open it?" β
Gu Mingzhu: "Thank you for your kindness, I want to open it." The reception was silent, and he left after receiving the spirit stone. Mingzhu cautiously put his hand in, the mermaid didn't react, so he opened the cage a little worriedly, Gu Mingzhu walked in, reached out and gently held the mermaid's hand, and brought the mermaid out, Su Wei had been guarding by the side, and when he came out, he saw that the mermaid's throat and tail were all scarred, and those with attack power had been destroyed, Su Wei twitched the corner of his mouth, what could be hurt.
Gu Mingzhu had already pulled the mermaid to sit on the sofa, and when she saw the mermaid covered in scales, Mingzhu looked at Su Wei with blank eyes.
Su Wei sighed and asked Miao Yu, "Is there a cure?" Miao Yu threw out a bottle of medicine and said: "Her injury is too serious, she must use pills, this is a bottle of Sanpin Recovery Pill, which can treat injuries on the tail, but the throat is poisonous, and the toxin needs to be extracted." β
Su Wei said: "Thank you for your hard work." β
Miao Yu smiled: "What's this?" If only you could use it. β
After Su Wei took out the pill, he took one out and handed it to Gu Mingzhu and said, "Give it to her to treat the scars on her tail." β
Gu Mingzhu hurriedly took it and said, "Thank you." β
Su Wei didn't speak. After Mingzhu fed the mermaid, it was visible to the naked eye that the tail was better, and the mermaid kept hanging her head and didn't react, and Mingzhu kept enlightening her. Su Wei looked outside and paid attention to the auction of a few goods, and after the auction finally came to an end, the hundred-year-old pure ice crystal jade began to be auctioned, and the auction of 20 medium-grade spirit stones started, and there should be no less than 10 pieces each time~ After the beauty received the voice, no one downstairs was silent, and the person on the fifth floor said lightly: "40 yuan." Who doesn't want this kind of ice spirit root that can be directly absorbed, with this beginning, the people behind him also followed closely to open their mouths, and in less than a while, they called for 100 yuan, and several still followed closely.
Su Wei looked outside, it seemed that these people were also here for the ice crystal jade, after all, there were no alchemists in these remote areas, and most of the elixir treasures needed to be refined into pills to be absorbed to the greatest extent, but the ice crystal jade could absorb 60% even if it was not refined, and the rest would need to be refined by an alchemist. When Su Wei turned his head to look at Gu Mingzhu, the two had already started the contract, and Su Wei gave the two Dharma protectors and paid attention to the situation outside at any time.
In less than a moment, the price had been called to 200 yuan, and the number of people who called it gradually decreased, so Su Wei said directly: "220 yuan." β
Everyone saw that another one had been added and stayed here with the mentality of watching the excitement, and the fourth floor followed closely: "230 yuan." β
Su Wei immediately said: "251 yuan." β
The fourth floor gritted his teeth a little and said: "290 yuan" I don't believe that the third floor is still with me. Unexpectedly, a voice from the third floor said, "300 yuan." β
The fourth floor was immediately dumbfounded, because his father only gave a budget of 300 yuan, but how could the third floor be so rich? What does he shoot? Do you want to rob this prince? Looking at the old man beside him, the old man immediately turned around and left. The people on the other side, if Su Wei and the others saw it, would definitely be surprised, isn't this the third miss of the Gu family? I saw her say gently: "Even if this person is before, how can even Bing Jingyu dare to rob His Highness?" I don't know what to do! β
Shangguan Zimo pretended to be Yushu Linfeng and said: "It's okay, I'll bring you the shawl when I leave the auction house in a while." β
After the auction, Gu Mingzhu also had a successful contract with the mermaid, and the mermaid was included in Gu Mingzhu.
Su Wei auctioned the ice crystal jade with 300 medium-grade spirit stones, and after the reception was delivered, he invited Su Wei to the reception room of the auction house. Su Wei pretended to put the ice crystal jade in the storage bag, but actually threw it to Miao Yu for him to refine. The reception led the way in front, and in less than a moment, I arrived at the reception room, and I saw the beautiful reception who had just been on the stage sitting inside, looking at Su Wei with a smile, and waiting for Su Wei and the others to sit down. He spoke slowly, "Otherwise, you'll be staying at the auction house lately, right?" It's too dangerous out there. I'm afraid you'll be gone out in less than a moment. Su Wei smiled faintly: "I remember that you said on stage that you could be safely delivered home, didn't you?" Since it can be delivered safely to home, it is okay for us to make a trade. The beauty raised her eyebrows and said, "What deal?" β
After a while, I saw 'Su Wei' and others wearing masks coming out of the reception room openly, swaggering out of the auction house, and the two Jindan monks from the auction house were protected on both sides, and the two teams of people in the secret waited for Su Wei, and when they walked to a deserted place, the people of the auction house pretended to retreat. When the two teams began to attack 'Su Wei and the others', they were all repelled by the people from the auction house who suddenly appeared, and they could only leave angrily.
After Su Wei sent Gu Mingzhu home, on the way back to the inn, he suddenly began to shake violently, and dozens of cultivators flew quickly above his head. Su Wei decisively took off the spirit sword behind his back and began to fly with the sword, but because he had to fall several times on the first attempt, he successfully brewed and flew up, alas, he knew that he had practiced the flying of the sword early, and he would not have fallen so much. After flying into the sky, Su Wei slowly followed behind after discovering that those cultivators were all flying towards the city gate.
After reaching the top of the city wall, a large number of demon beasts were already attacking on the opposite side. It turned out that there was a beast tide, but fortunately, I didn't choose to stay in the Cloud Beast Forest at that time, otherwise I'm afraid that I would have been trampled into meat mud now. Su Wei casually stopped a cultivator and asked, "Fellow Daoist, how did this happen to the beast tide?" β
The Daoist friend looked at Su Wei and said, "This Daoist friend is from out of town, the reason why this Ridge Beast City is called Ridge Beast City is because it is close to the Cloud Beast Forest." Cities close to the forest will occasionally have large and small beast tides, but it has little impact, and every time the cultivation of demon beasts is the Qi refining period, which is a large number of them, it takes time to deal with them. Therefore, the city lord of Ridge Beast City also issued a reward policy. During the occurrence of the beast tide, whoever kills the top three demon beasts with the largest number of monsters can come to the door to get 100 medium-grade spirit stones, a bottle of spirit tonic pill, and the first place can choose a treasure in the treasure house of the city lord's mansion to take away. Hearing this, Su Wei was instantly full of interest: "Thank you, Daoyou." Seeing the dense demon beasts below, Su Wei flew down directly after receiving the counting hand like the other monks.
