Chapter 303: Secretly Following, Auction
The old man left the inn with his two apprentices after eating and drinking.
From their conversation just now, although they could know that they must have come to Guang'an City for something, but the old man knew that there were many people in a crowded place, so he was very careful not to expose more clues, even if he attracted attention, it would only make people think that he was teaching his two apprentices to be playful.
But in Cao Chuan's opinion, this was not the case, he clearly heard the conversation between the old man and his apprentice.
Obviously, the three of them came to Guang'an City under the arrangement of the Holy Lord of Tianlan Holy Land, that is, Wen Muzhi, in order to find something.
In addition, Wen Jinghao had mentioned that most of the people who could possess the power aura from the ancient phoenix divine beasts in the Tianlan Holy Land were seniors with a certain status in the Holy Land, and at least they were also high-ranking inner door elders.
At the same time, every Inner Gate Elder of the Tianlan Holy Land must have at least the cultivation realm of the Fifth Heaven of the Dao Cutting Realm and above.
And to let an inner sect elder with the strength of the Fifth Heaven or above of the Dao Cutting Realm personally leave the Holy Land and come to Guang'an City with his apprentice, it was naturally impossible to say that what they were looking for was just an ordinary thing.
Therefore, Cao Chuan thought that what the old man was looking for must be a very special treasure, and this treasure must have a great effect on Wen Muzhi.
So when the old man took his apprentice and left, Cao Chuan secretly left an extremely hidden divine aura on the other party's body when the other party passed by him, although it could not be monitored in real time, but it could also allow him to detect the other party's next whereabouts.
After doing all this, Cao Chuan and Wen Jinghao did not rush to follow the old man, but began to wander around Guang'an City.
The luck of the two was very good.
Just after coming out of the inn, when he was about to walk to the door of an auction house, he happened to meet the old man he had just met in the inn and his two playful disciples who were curious about everything.
Seeing that the old man walked into the auction house in front of him with his disciple.
After Cao Chuan and Wen Jing glanced at each other, they also wanted to go inside, but were stopped by the attendant standing at the door.
Seeing the disdain and contempt in the attendant's eyes, Cao Chuan immediately took out a large handful of earth-grade spirit stones from the storage bag.
Although this is the spirit realm, the grade of the spirit stone is the same as that of the lower realm, and it is divided into four grades: heaven and earth Xuanhuang.
Among them, the Tianpin Spirit Stone is the most valuable, and the Huangpin Spirit Stone is the second.
And when the attendant saw Cao Chuan casually grab a handful of at least a hundred pieces of earth spirit stones from the storage bag, where did he dare to get up and block it like just now, and immediately put on a respectful dog leg, and beckoned Cao Chuan and Wen Jinghao to enter the auction house while taking the spirit stone.
even took the initiative to take Cao Chuan and Wen Jinghao to the VIP seat on the third floor of the auction house.
The VIP seats on the third floor of the auction house are all rooms separated by a separate formation, and the auction house has specially assigned guards to protect the safety of guests at the door, but there are only six rooms, which are specially prepared for those with rich families.
It just so happens that the last thing Cao Chuan lacks is spirit stones.
Ever since he cultivated in the Lintian Pavilion and the Demon Venerable Cemetery, Cao Chuan's storage bag had been filled with all kinds of heavenly treasures and spirit stones and elixirs, and even the number of Heavenly Spirit Stones had been so large that they could be piled up into countless mountains in reality.
Therefore, when the attendant who took him and Wen Jinghao to the VIP seat on the third floor turned around and revealed the greed in his heart with his eyes, Cao Chuan immediately grabbed a large handful of earth-grade spirit stones from the storage bag, which were several times more than before, and threw them to the attendant.
"Thank you, thank you!"
"The guests are so generous!"
Hurriedly grabbed the spirit stone firmly into his hand, and the attendant, who could no longer hide the smile on his face, immediately began to order the maid standing outside the VIP seat, and commanded solemnly: "These two distinguished guests are the most precious guests of our auction house!" You two must serve me well, no matter what your guests ask, don't slack off! Do you understand? ”
Maids, like attendants, have to eat according to the faces of the guests, so naturally there will be no objections and complaints.
It's just that Cao Chuan and Wen Jinghao don't like to have outsiders present, so just like when dealing with the attendants, they also took out a lot of ground grade spirit stones and sent away the two maids who wanted to follow them into the room, just let the two girls wait outside the door.
Seeing that the guests they entertained were hundreds of earth-grade spirit stones, how could the maids have any complaints, so they immediately learned from the flattering appearance of the attendants, obediently left the room, and stood at the door and waited quietly.
The eyes that looked at each other were full of joy.
After all, it's not always possible to meet such arrogant guests.
Even the attendant's scolding of the two of them just now was no longer taken to heart.
After all, they work in the auction house, even if they entertain guests every day, they can earn a few Xuanpin spirit stones, and a land grade spirit stone can be exchanged for a full thousand Xuanpin spirit stones.
Now, what they had was hundreds of Earth Grade Spirit Stones.
Such a huge wealth is enough for them to leave the auction house and live a life in Guang'an City.
How can they not be excited.
"Could it be that the things that are going to be auctioned today are very precious? Otherwise, how could it attract such a guest that we have never seen in Guang'an City? And is it such a bold and young guest? ”
The maid has been working in the auction house for many years, and it can be said that she has seen all the rich families in Guang'an City, but she has no impression of Cao Chuan and Wen Jinghao.
So she was curious and said to the other maid, "Have you been to the Treasure Pavilion today?" Did you find any news? Isn't it possible that the Treasure Pavilion has sent some more precious treasures recently? ”
"It seems that there are some rare treasures."
The maid who happened to have been to the Treasure Pavilion once today replied in a low voice: "I heard from those people who work in the Treasure Pavilion that the Treasure Pavilion sent a very mysterious thing today, but it is said that it was strictly guarded and not let people see or touch, so even the Treasure Pavilion didn't know what the same thing was sent, only that it was a few elders of our auction house who were in charge of taking care of that kind of thing!" ”
"Shhh
The maid who asked this question immediately gasped and sighed: "It is actually the elder of the auction house who personally guards it, it seems that what was sent this time is indeed an extremely rare treasure, I really don't know how high the price will be auctioned at that time." ”
The two maids outside the door were talking very quietly.
But he couldn't hide from the ears of Cao Chuan and Wen Jing in the room.
After hearing the conversation of the maids, the two who looked at each other thought of the old man who had just walked into the auction house before them, and the two apprentices of the other party.
Thinking that the purpose of the other party's visit to the auction house was likely to be the treasure in the mouths of the maids, the two of them sat on the comfortable recliner in the VIP seat and waited for the auction to start with peace of mind.
··· ···
The auction is coming as scheduled.
However, most of the things that appeared at the front of the auction were ordinary elixirs or exercise secrets, and only the ordinary monks sitting in the hall on the first floor still flocked to these things.
Cao Chuan and Wen Jinghao had been observing the old man from the Tianlan Holy Land who was also sitting in the VIP seat on the third floor.
He wondered if the other party had come to the auction house for that one.
His gaze was very direct, but he was isolated by the formations that were present in every room of the VIP seats.
Therefore, it will not attract the attention of guests in other rooms.
Cao Chuan was also more unscrupulous, and directly stayed in the direction of the old man's so-called VIP seat.
It wasn't until the auction came to an end that rare and cherished treasures finally began to appear on the high platform.
The first thing that can be called a treasure is a book of exercises that have reached the level of heavenly grades, but because of the age, the original exercises secrets look a little old, and the words in it are already a little blurred.
But after all, the Heavenly Exercise is still the Heavenly Exercise, and once you get it, it means that the chicken and dog ascend to heaven.
So there had been no movement before, and the guests who sat on the second floor, representing a certain wealth and status, immediately began to compete.
For a while, all kinds of bidding voices sounded in the space of the entire auction house.
But the old man remained unmoved.
Cao Chuan also chose to stay put.
Until the auctioneer standing on the high platform took a disc from the attendant Hao Zhong and uncovered the petitioner's red scarf, revealing the three spars carved into the shape of mandarin ducks placed in it.
Sensing the warm and good eyes beside him, Cao Chuan was attracted to the past, and when the auctioneer shouted out that the starting price was five hundred earth-grade spirit stones, he immediately opened his mouth and raised the price to a full two thousand earth-grade spirit stones.
As soon as the price of two thousand earth-grade spirit stones was shouted, the audience was in an uproar.
Cao Chuan disagreed.
Because he knew that in addition to being loved by Wen Jinghao because of their appearance, the three mandarin duck spars were also three extremely high-grade spars containing endless spiritual power, even if they were not worth two thousand earth-grade spirit stones, they would not be too bad.
But this kind of spar is better than nothing for the monks who are high enough in the cultivation realm, so when Cao Chuan shouted such a high price, some people who wanted to get it because of their appearance could only stop talking, so Cao Chuan took the three mandarin duck spars very smoothly.
"That's it!"
"That's the end of the usual auction!"
Then.
The auctioneer on the high platform suddenly changed his expression and shouted around in an excited tone: "Then it's the turn of this auction!" Everything we are going to carry on the platform will be the most precious treasure in the world! ”
"The first treasure!"
"It's for the essence blood of an ancient power from the Qingqiu Fox Clan!"
