Chapter 38: The Auction (2)
"In Xia Sikong Xin, the second elder of the Sikong family, was specially invited by Wanbaotong Hui to preside over this auction."
"This auction has been held for three consecutive days, today is the first day, a total of 872 lots, during the auction, you can leave the venue halfway, but you need to be quiet, except for the bidder, do not make noise, do not falsely declare the bid, if there is a violator, immediately expelled!"
The middle-aged man on the circular auction table, that is, Sikong Xin, said so, and at the same time, his eyes were like torches, looking around at the cultivators in the auction hall, and also swept over Gu Qing and Cui Li'er at the back of the seat.
Gu Qing only felt a gaze like a substance, seeing through his flesh and skin, scraping over his muscles and bones like a steel knife, this gaze carried an amazing chill, which made people involuntarily frightened.
'This Sikong Family Second Elder, cultivation is only afraid of a foundation building cultivation that is far beyond the ordinary! Could it be a monk of the False Dan Realm?
Gu Qing guessed.
Seeing that the auction hall was quiet and boundless, Sikong Xin on the circular auction table was very satisfied, he nodded secretly, retracted his gaze, and said, "Since all of you Daoists have no objections, then this auction will begin!" Now, fellow Daoists, please take a look at the first lot."
Sikong Xin said, on the circular auction table, there was a silent crack, revealing a tunnel two or three zhang wide, and in the tunnel, two strong male cultivators carrying a huge iron-gray cage walked out slowly with heavy steps.
Rumble!
The two sturdy male cultivators placed the iron-gray cage on the round auction table, and there was a loud noise on the side of the exit of the tunnel.
The cultivators in the auction hall all changed their expressions after seeing clearly what was in the iron-gray cage, and many male cultivators and a few female cultivators already showed extremely coveted expressions.
Gu Qing looked at the things in the iron-gray cage, his eyes were a little strange, and Cui Li'er on the side didn't know why, his eyes fell on him, he frowned slightly, and said:
"What does Cui Daoyou think of me?"
Cui Li'er retracted her unintentional gaze and replied, "You male cultivators, you should all like such a cute cat demon, right? Why, Lin Daoyou doesn't want to buy a few cat demons to go back as slaves?"
"Huh." Gu Qing chuckled noncommittally.
It turned out that in the iron-gray cage, there were a few cat demons whose clothes only covered important parts, these cat demons were tall and plump, and their appearance was beautiful, two fluffy cats, standing between the black hair, with a strong wild expression, and the golden vertical pupils were full of despair.
Although the cat demon has the name of the demon, it is not a pure-blooded demon race, but a rare half-demon, generally speaking, the figure and appearance of the cat demon, because of the inheritance of the bloodline, will be extremely brilliant, and it is often the best in the world, and it is very sought after by the human monks.
Sikong Xin said expressionlessly: "The four cat demons with potential can have combat power comparable to the body cultivation of the fourth layer of qi refining, wild and untamable, you Daoists do what you can, the Daoist friend who sold these four cat demons has not done what he can, at this time, he has completely lost that ability!" Fellow Daoists, rest assured, the cat demon who hurt that fellow Daoist is dead, these four cat demons are all virgins, and Yuan Yin is still there."
"The starting price, fifteen hundred low-grade spirit stones! Each price increase shall not be less than ten lower grade spirit stones, and no one bids within three breaths will be regarded as a failed auction, and after one bid, no one will increase the price within three breaths and the transaction will be completed!"
Sikong Xin's voice just fell.
"Fifteen hundred lower-grade spirit stones!"
"One thousand five hundred and ten lower-grade spirit stones!"
"The old lady has sixteen medium-grade spirit stones!"
「……」
In the auction hall, the atmosphere immediately became hot.
As the saying goes, everyone has a love for beauty, so although most of the people who shouted were male cultivators, in the face of such beautiful four cat demons, many female cultivators also participated in the shouting.
Among them is Cui Li'er beside Gu Qing.
This black-clothed female cultivator Cui Li'er, who was originally cold, said with sparkling eyes at this time, 'Old lady, raised the price to twenty-two medium-grade spirit stones, which made Gu Qing couldn't help but be impressed
。
Just after Cui Li'er shouted for twenty-two medium-grade spirit stones, no one in the auction hall bid again for a long time.
Soon the time for two breaths has passed.
Cui Li'er's heart was slightly apprehensive.
At this time, in the suspended grandstand above, in a compartment, the voice of the cultivator who called Zhou Long came from: "Twenty-three medium-grade spirit stones!"
Cui Li'er's expression moved slightly.
She raised her eyes slightly, and was looking at Zhou Long, looking down on her with a somewhat sarcastic gaze.
"Twenty-four medium-grade spirit stones."
Cui Li'er's red lips opened lightly and spoke calmly.
Zhou Long followed the price without hesitation: "Twenty-five medium-grade spirit stones! Cui Li'er is a female cultivator, I don't know what to do when I buy these four cat demons? Could it be that you have some special hobby?"
At this time, only the two of them were shouting, and Zhou Long's ridiculous words immediately amused the monks in the audience and burst into laughter.
Cui Li'er was unmoved, and she wanted to continue bidding.
Gu Qing's eyes flashed.
He shouted before Cui Li'er, "Forty medium-grade spirit stones!"
Gu Qing raised the price to such a high level, which immediately attracted the attention of many monks in the field, and Zhou Long above and Cui Lian'er on the side also looked at him together, all of them were a little surprised.
Zhou Long sneered and said, "Heh! Lin Daoyou is very interested, the price of each of these cat demons is eight or nine medium-grade spirit stones, right? Lin Daoyou actually bid forty medium-grade spirit stones directly in order to buy these four cat demons! True temperament, too!"
Cui Li'er was also a little puzzled, but she didn't say anything to Gu Qing.
The time of three breaths passed quickly, and there was no more unjust boss willing to bid with Gu Qing, and he took the four cat demons as he wished.
On the circular auction table, Sikong Xin glanced at Gu Qing and said with a smile: "Congratulations to the Daoist friends in seat 3718 for winning the first lot at the price of forty medium-grade spirit stones!"
As he spoke, he motioned to the two sturdy monks to carry the iron-gray cage and the four cat demons inside back to the tunnel above the auction table.
When the crack on the auction table closed, Sikong Xin flicked his sleeves, and a cyan long-handled broadsword suddenly appeared in his hand, and he held it in one hand, and slammed it in front of him.
Airplanes!
Under Sikong Xin's sudden horizontal, on top of the cyan long-handled broadsword, there seemed to be a phantom image of a green dragon coming out, and the dragon groaned in bursts, spreading out from the auction table to the surrounding mountains and seas.
Many monks changed their expressions slightly under the dragon groan emitted by this knife, and they sensed that the spiritual power in their bodies was being severely suppressed.
Sikong Xin then continued to speak: "The second lot in today's auction is the best magic weapon, the Dragon Moon Covering Knife!"
"The refiner who forged this knife is no longer exquisite, but the power of this knife is extremely strong, and it is comparable to a low-grade spiritual weapon!"
"It carries two thousand two hundred and eighty-nine spiritual patterns engraved on it, and it is infused with all its inner spiritual power, and under one sword, it is not difficult to cut the enemy, even if it splits the mountain! What's even more rare is that if this knife can be filled with spiritual power, it will be accompanied by bursts of dragon groans, which can suppress the spiritual power of cultivation that is lower than one's own cultivation and weaken the spiritual power of cultivation equivalent to oneself!"
"However, this knife is extremely heavy, more than 5,800 catties, it is for all fellow Daoists, please do what you can!"
"The starting price, eighty medium-grade spirit stones! Each increase in price is not less than one medium-grade spirit stone, and the rest is still as mentioned before!"
Sikong Xin said so, converging the spiritual power injected into this dragon moon covering knife, and erected it on his side, the green dragon phantom on the blade quickly dimmed, and the sound of dragon groans was also quickly eliminated.
As Sikong Xin's voice fell.
"Eighty medium-grade spirit stones!"
When the field was neutral, there were monks who made loud bids.
Compared with the hot scene of the previous auction of the four cat demons, the auction of this dragon moon knife seems to be a little clear and watery.
Soon, the price of this Dragon Moon Covering Knife stayed at ninety-two medium-grade spirit stones, and in the end, it was Gu Qing who took this Dragon Moon Covering Knife!
Seeing this scene, Sikong Xin also glanced at Gu Qing more, and said, "Congratulations again to the Daoist friends in seat 3718, for taking this second lot with ninety-two medium-grade spirit stones!"
As he spoke, he handed the Dragon Moon Concealing Knife to the four strong male cultivators who walked onto the auction table, and then took out the third lot.
The third lot that Sikong Xin took out this time was a small purple flag, which he held in his palm, and it was a trace of scorching purple brilliance, spreading out in all directions.
Sikong Xin said in a deep voice:
"Third Lot of Today's Auction......
Gu Qing had no interest in this lot.
He withdrew his gaze, said hello to Cui Li'er, and got up from seat No. 3718, walked through the gap between the rows of seats, and walked to the back of the auction hall.
'An auction of this level will not come without acquaintances from the industry country!' Although there is a lively fight over there, the distance of more than 10,000 miles, for monks in the middle and late stages of Qi refining, can go back and forth in a few days...... Gu Qing thought about it in his heart.
He quickly walked out of the seat of the auction hall and came to the back of the seat of the auction hall, beside the third-layer female cultivator of Qi refining who was standing.
"Is this senior going to pay the spirit stone and take the lot?" The third-layer female cultivator of Qi refining standing here, dressed in pink clothes, faced Gu Qing who was coming, and asked with a lively smile.
Gu Qing chuckled:
"Naturally, it's bothering the little sister to lead the way."
