Chapter 258: Saint Luo Tower Auction
You Zhukong shook his head and sighed: "My wallet is empty now, how dare I go to that kind of place!"
At this time, you tugged at his sleeve and said, "Let's take a look at this!", You Zhukong followed her closer and took a look, only to see an auction item with "Intermediate Soul Technique" written on it, You Zhukong's eyes lit up, he couldn't control the Soul Knife, just because he only practiced the primary soul skill!
Dong Xueying looked at it and smiled: "Such a good baby, if you don't go to see it, it's always uneasy, the auction is in the evening, let's go together!"
They had been shopping for a day, so they went back to the Dongxue family to rest temporarily, You Zhukong came out this time, put all the valuables on his body, he took out the two dark knives, and looked at them carefully.
The two knives were extremely long, one red and one blue, and he wrapped them tightly in a gray animal skin and carried them on his back.
In the evening, Dong Xueying came, and Zhu Cheng and Dong Xuejing hadn't come back yet, so they didn't wait any longer and set off directly.
The snail cart traveled on the road for a while, and finally came to the Holy Luo Tower, You Zhukong saw that the Holy Luo Tower was brightly lit, bustling, and a lively scene.
At the outer edge of the Holy Spiral Tower, the spiral upward walkway is very wide, enough for three spiral carts to travel side by side, Dong Xueying smiled and said, "How about we take the outer passage and enjoy the scenery?"
You Zhukong shouted: "Wonderful! wonderful!"
Their cart circled down the aisle, gradually rising, and soon they could see the beautiful scenery outside, and after a while, the whole of Antai County could be seen, and the county town was brightly lit, a beautiful and strange world.
You Zhukong felt as if he was in a dream, he could have such an adventure, if it wasn't for his sister being captured by the demons, he would really fall in love with this world. He couldn't help but sigh: "If only there were fireworks at this time!"
Dong Xueying smiled and said: "You really don't know anything, there are really fireworks tonight!
Sure enough, the screw car continued to go up, and when it was two-thirds of the way through, suddenly there was a crackling sound below, and You Zhukong's brain was hot, he climbed out of the screw car, jumped into the car, and then waved at the winter snow.
Dong Xueying shook her head at first, and finally smiled helplessly, was held by his hand, and jumped out of the screw car. The two of them stood in the car, the wind was howling, and from time to time there were some snowflakes, but they were all full of energy and did not feel cold at all.
In the car, the horizon is immediately broadened, the outside world can be seen at a glance, the beautiful fireworks, the brightly lit city, the ethereal moonlight, and the towering mountains in the distance.
You Zhukong laughed and said, "This scenery is really beautiful! I will come to the Holy Luo Pagoda in vain!"
Dong Xueying also showed an excited look, she had seen more of the world, and she was a little surprised by many things, but this time she was also deeply shocked from the bottom of her heart, and the man next to her was still holding her slender hand tightly, making her feel warm.
After a while, they finally came to a wide entrance, and the screw car roared in, and the lights were bright inside, and the traffic was busy, which reminded You Zhukong of the airport or station in his own world, a grand landscape.
Soon, they stopped in front of an empty square, where a large number of screw carts were already parked. You Zhukong carefully observed, the entire Holy Luo Pagoda was full of arc-shaped structures, and all the structures were composed of smooth lines, with almost no edges and corners.
The walls of the tower are formed by the secretions of the conch, which resembles a coral reef, and people have dug large caves and rooms in the tower, and the square where they are located is a reception station.
They got out of the car, and soon a waiter came to guide them, and walked along a walkway, and after walking for a while, their eyes lit up, and in front of them was a super huge square, which was crowded with thousands of people.
The plaza is lit up with extra-large lanterns, which are even brighter than during the day.
Dong Xueying said: "This is the central hypermarket, look at these stores, they are all from major families!"
You Zhukong sighed secretly, he used to think that Yunhai Dantang would be gone, but now it seems that the business of these families is even more magnificent!
They passed through the crowd and soon came to one of the largest doorways in the whole square, where there were majestic statues, a dozen guard handles, and the words "Royal Auction House" were engraved on the door.
Seeing them coming, a waiter stepped forward and politely asked, "Are you two going to the auction house?"
You Zhu sighed secretly in his heart, it turned out that he had no identity, and it was difficult to move an inch! He happily took out his noble card, and after the waiter verified it, he was in awe, and hurriedly saluted them, in Antai County, the number of nobles is very small, even if it is a declining old nobleman, its status is unshakable.
Dong Xueying didn't have to show her royal card at all, and was led in by the waiters.
The waiter said obediently: "I will arrange a good position for the two of you! It is convenient for you to bid!", and sure enough, he led You Zhukong and them to the most central position, so that they could look around the audience.
A beautiful waitress came over and smiled, "Please also pay the auction deposit!"
You Zhukong was stunned for a moment, he didn't know that he still needed to pay a deposit, Dong Xueying smiled faintly, took out a card made of snail shells from his arms, and handed it to the waitress.
You Zhukong asked in a low voice, "What is this?"
Dong Xueying sighed: "You really don't understand anything! I'm going to tire out this girl! That's the Beka, used to save money, the Becca is issued by different banks, I am a Royal Beka, which can be used in any country of the Ethereal Eight Kingdoms!"
You Zhukong sighed: "Can you help me get one?"
Dong Xueying looked at him with a smile and said, "The minimum deposit fund is 100 million, do you have it?"
"What? you have 100 million!" You Zhukong almost exclaimed, he tried his best to lower his voice, but even his nostrils dilated in surprise.
Dong Xueying was dissatisfied: "What are you yelling about, I'm afraid that no one will rob me?", she saw You Zhukong's sincere and frightened look, and grinned: "Don't worry, I can help you do the noble card, just a royal becca, it's not enough to worry about it!"
They talked together, and soon, there were more and more people in the auction hall, and there were thousands of people in the entire huge auction hall, but it was only these hundreds of people in the front row who really had purchasing power. The waiter had placed them in the right position to be able to observe the expressions of all the competitors.
Soon the auction began, and it was a beautiful auction girl who presided over the auction, and You Zhukong thought to himself, businessmen in this world are also quite good at soliciting business.
Start by showing the lots, which are all displayed in the same way to attract potential buyers.
At this time, You Zhukong saw Dong Xuehao and Dong Xuejie brothers in the crowd, and he asked in a low voice: "Dong Xuehao's predecessors are also here, are the others also from the family!"
Dong Xueying said lightly: "These people are all nobles and family members, the few blue clothes over there belong to the Mizusawa family, the purple ones over there belong to the Lei family, the white-haired one is Nalan Xia Zeng of the Nalan family, and the fat one is Naga Hongyuan of the Naga family!"
You Zhu said emptyly: "Oh, the two black-robed people over there are also very strange!"
Dong Xueying said: "That's because I'm afraid that people will find out their identity, such people are generally determined to get something, but they are afraid that people will know!"
When You Zhukong found that the intermediate soul technique was displayed, the two black-robed people leaned forward and watched carefully, faintly feeling that they were two potential opponents, and Naga Hongyuan over there seemed to be very much concern.
After a while, the auction began, and at first it was some low-value items, generally hundreds of thousands to more than a million shells, which did not put the slightest pressure on those wealthy families.
Gradually, valuables began to appear, including scrolls, weapons, elixirs, herbs, calligraphy, paintings, and antiques. The value of these things also began to rise, and they began to auction millions of shells.
At this time, a spiritual scroll began to shoot, and the five great families who rarely moved immediately looked nervous. Naga Hongyuan, Nalan Xiazeng, Dong Xuehao and others began to bid in turn, and soon raised the price to more than 6 million shells, and the audience was amazed.
After Naga Hongyuan quoted the price, You Zhukong tried to raise the number plate and shouted: "6.5 million shells!", the audience was amazed, Dong Xueying smiled and said nothing, and did not interfere.
After another round of price increases, You Zhukong seemed to be only targeting Naga Hongyuan, as soon as he made an offer, he immediately put the price too high, and the angry old man's white beard was shaking, his face was red, and he shouted at him frantically.
