Because of the proximity to the auction, there are more and more foreign monks in Tianyan City, and the city is becoming more and more lively.

Chen Ping went to Guo Zizhao's house, but Guo Zizhao and Lin Changshou were not there.

The Taoist companions of the two of them are at home.

"Senior Chen, come in and sit, juniors will go and call them back, they are all in Fang City at the moment." Lin Changshou's Taoist companion greeted.

Chen Ping thought that it was rare to come, so he went into the house and waited for a while.

"Senior Chen, you drink tea." When Lin Changshou Daoist hurriedly went to Fang City, Guo Zizhao brought a cup of spiritual materials, and smiled lightly with bright eyes:

"Thanks to the work arranged by Senior Chen for Lao Guo, I don't need to go out to take risks for more than a year, and it's much safer."

Guo Zizhao and the others sell magic weapons like this every day, and they can hide it from others, but they definitely can't hide it from the person next to them.

Besides, Chen Ping still comes often.

The two simply said it, but they only said that it was a temporary job that Chen Ping introduced to them, selling second-hand magic weapons for others.

I didn't say much about the rest.

Chen Ping took the spiritual tea and said with a smile:

"You don't need to thank me, it's Guo Daoyou who is careful in their work, I'm just pulling a line."

"Senpai is humble." Guo Zizhao pulled his hair and said judo:

"Lao Guo's skills, don't the juniors still know? If it weren't for the support of Senior Chen, he would still be meditating day and night about tomorrow's cultivation resources. Senior Chen is our benefactor."

While speaking, Guo Zizhao added some more tea, and when he poured the tea, he bent down slightly, and the neckline of the placket skirt was slightly lowered intentionally or unintentionally.

… It's good that Guo Zizhao will always be able to earn spirit stones, but when the spirit stones earn less, I'm afraid that life will be difficult.

Chen Ping sat in the courtyard under the pretext of basking in the sun.

After chatting with Guo Zizhao for a while, I learned that she and Ling Changshou's Taoist couple used to be helpers in a refining workshop in the city, and in the process of delivering magic weapons to the shopkeeper, they got acquainted with Guo Zizhao.

After that, several people came out and started to collect medicine together.

A moment later, Guo Zizhao and the three returned.

Seeing Chen Ping sitting in the courtyard of his home, chatting with his fellow Taoists, Guo Zizhao said excitedly:

"Big brother, are you here?"

"Go inside, it's not comfortable to stay outside."

The three of them went into the house, while the two women went about their other business with interest.

Chen Ping first checked the sales of their magic weapons.

For more than a year, Chen Ping gave them a lot of magic weapons intermittently, and also intermittently collected some spirit stones, and stored them separately, and some were confiscated to facilitate their turnover, and he did not calculate the share of the two of them.

A total of 566 magic weapons were sold.

Among them, there are 43,123,292 handles of first-order lower, middle, and upper-grade magic instruments, and 108 handles of second-order lower-grade magic instruments.

31. A second-order medium-grade magic weapon was not sold.

The second-order lower-grade magic weapon still has 30 handles left.

Second-order mid-grade magic weapons are already in relatively little demand, and they are usually some magic weapons that only monks in the middle stage of foundation building. The situation of the second-order lower-grade magic weapon is also a bit similar, plus Guo Zizhao and the two are only in the Qi cultivation period, and they can't hold it down, so in order to avoid accidents, they can only sell them one by one, and they have to sell another handle at intervals.

As for these second-order inferior products currently sold, most of them were sold point-to-point by some of the relationship networks that the Taoist companions of the two of them had mastered before.

After deducting the total commission of Guo Zizhao and the two, Chen Ping earned a total of 6,191 medium-grade spirit stones.

Hey.

I'm a millionaire again. ，

Chen Ping smiled inwardly, put away his belongings, and said:

"When this auction is over, I will return to the Ling Xiao Sect. Do you two want to go back to Lingxiao Sect together, or do you want to stay here?"

Hearing this, both of them were stunned.

They originally thought that Chen Ping might stay in Tianyan City when he came to Tianyan Domain this time.

"Big brother is going back? Will you come back later?" Ling Changshou said hurriedly.

Chen Ping thought for a while and said:

"Will come, but not too much. Most of the time, I will still stay in the Lingxiao Sect."

Yu Lingchun is still in Tianyan Sect, and she still owes Xiyue Fairy so much nameless wine, and Tianyan City will inevitably come again.

But certainly not too much, after all, 80,000 miles away.

Lin Changshou asked two more questions, but Guo Zizhao remained silent and didn't speak much.

He is not alone now, and he is still carrying Taoist companions, and it is too difficult to move back and forth.

What's more, I'm used to staying in the city of Tianyan City.

Although this city is a gold cave, it is relatively safe, which is incomparable to the Lingxiao Sect's scattered cultivation city.

Guo Zizhao remembered the days of Lianyuncheng in the past, and he was worried and afraid.

Moreover.

Nowadays, the Qingyun Domain lacks resources, and there are no demon beasts and spiritual materials, and it will be even more difficult for them to survive if they go back. They also have to face many difficulties such as not being able to get out of the domain, demonic energy, and miasma.

Chen Ping saw the hesitation in their hearts and said:

"You don't have to rush to answer this, I have more than ten days to go back here. You can think about it carefully, and also consult with your fellow Daoists, after all, it is not a trivial matter. It doesn't hurt to stay in Tianyan City."

Chen Ping actually doesn't care, this is Guo Zizhao's own business.

In Tianyan City, there is Tianyan City and the way of cooperation, and in Lingxiao Sect, there is the direction of Lingxiao Sect.

Either way.

Respect their own choices.

"Brother Xie. I'll think about it and give my eldest brother a reply as soon as possible." Guo Zizhao said.

……

Coming out of Guo Zizhao's house, Chen Ping did not go back to the inn, but went to the auction hall.

There's almost no need to ask for directions. On the way to the auction hall, as long as it is uphill or uphill or around the corner, there are road signs.

The hall is located in the center of the city, close to the waterfall that falls from the sky.

As soon as Chen Ping arrived around the hall, a disciple of the auction house greeted him with a smile:

"Seniors are here to sign up for the auction?"

"This auction is the largest in recent years, and there are countless rare treasures, including rare treasures in a century, covering a wide range of categories.

This......

Are all the ads hitting the streets?

And also.

Although I didn't participate in it last year, I heard your slogan when I passed by, and it was the biggest one in recent years.

It's the biggest every year, isn't it?

The treasures of each year are rare in a hundred years, right?

Chen Ping was slandered.

But it's just a matter of complaining in my heart, not only the disciples here, but also many brick families.

This is normal.

"It's a bit of fun, indeed. Tell me about the rules of this auction?" Chen Ping said indifferently.

The auction lasts for three days.

If you want to participate, you just need to register in advance and reserve a seat or private room.

The seats are open halls.

Private rooms are divided into three grades: upper, middle and lower.

The best privacy is the most expensive.

You need to pay a fee of 8 medium-grade spirit stones, and you also need to pay an additional deposit of 50 medium-grade spirit stones.

If there is a bid for any of the natural treasures and there is no damage to the private room equipment, the deposit will be refunded in full. However, if one is not filmed after three days, only half of the deposit will be refunded.

The auction house prints a special list of auction goods in advance, and interested parties can preview it in advance.

"Senior, take a look, don't say anything else, let's just talk about this elixir, many of them are not sold at all in the shops on weekdays, and many of them are limited editions, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are extremely precious." The disciple of the auction house turned over a page of the manual and showed it to Chen Ping, and this page was all the names of the pills to be auctioned.

Chen Ping took the booklet and flipped through it.

Well, it has its own required array in it.

"I have Lao Xiaoyou to book one

Let's wait for a private room." Chen Pingdao.

Upper class private rooms are much more expensive than middle and lower class and hall seats.

But in auctions, safety is the most important thing.

This is the first time Chen Ping has participated in the auction, and he would rather be more expensive than buy a safe one.

"Of course, there are still a few rooms left in the first-class rooms, and the juniors will set them up for the seniors. Seniors, please ...... here" The disciple of the auction house bowed down to make way for Chen Ping, and invited him to enter the hall to negotiate the room.

After a period of registration, I paid the fee and deposit, and received a private room sign with the number of the private room engraved on it.

After the 12th, you can enter the venue only by showing the number ticket.

Return to the inn.

Chen Ping flipped through the brochure of the auction.

The booklet is divided into three parts.

The first part is a summary of the names and circumstances of some of the items that will be auctioned.

The second part provides a one-sentence summary of some potential auction items, but the names of the items and more detailed information are missing.

The third part is even more so, with only serial numbers, and the rest of the pages are left blank.

Chen Ping didn't believe in evil, and looked through it several times, and only a few words were faintly seen in the large blank space - 'once in a hundred years,'.

Boy.

So many once-in-a-century encounters.

We won't know exactly what it is until the day of the auction.

Chen Ping has been practicing in the inn for the past few days, and considering that he can't let the three maids be idle, he arranged for each of them to copy the scriptures a thousand times.

Twelve days flew by.

Chen Ping changed his appearance early in the morning, put on an ordinary robe, and then went to the auction hall.

When entering the venue, Chen Ping actually saw Li Feiyu.

Unexpectedly, Li Feiyu also came.

This guy didn't even change his appearance, he just walked in the crowd with such a big grin, dragging a sign in his hand, and when he showed the token, Chen Ping saw that it was an inferior private room - inferior No. 23 private room.

There was also a monk walking next to Li Feiyu, Chen Ping didn't know him, and he was in another inferior private room.

Because he was close to entering the venue, and he had already changed his appearance, Chen Ping did not step forward to say hello.

After showing the token, Chen Ping was led by someone and brought into his exclusive private room No. 18.

"Senior, when you need to bid, just inject spiritual power into this red jade, and every time the price increase method is the same, the lights outside will naturally turn on."

"After the auction began, the array of private rooms was activated, and except for the seniors, only the auction house had the tokens that could be entered. If you need to go out temporarily, you can enter and exit with your token."

「……」

Some of this information is available in some pamphlets, some are not, and the disciples who led the way introduced it in detail.

After the leading disciple left, Chen Ping carefully checked the private room, one side of the private room was a square spiritual power barrier, from the spiritual power barrier you could look out, but the outside could not see the situation inside.

Single-room, one-way mirror.

Not only the pictures, but also the sounds.

Although it is expensive, the privacy is indeed much better.

The auction will take place quickly.

First of all, there are some low-value commodities, as small as a rare bottle of elixir, a relatively rare second-order magic weapon, second-order magic robe, and so on.

Bidding is also fast.

When it was the turn of a bottle of the Northern Rare Pill called 'Desire Elixir,' the price was a rare tug-of-war.

"63 medium-grade spirit stones, this monk's last offer, is too expensive, too premium. Hey, if it weren't for my friend's commission to shoot on behalf of you, who would be interested in this thing? This elixir is rotten on the streets of Middle-earth, and no one wants it." On the seat in the atrium, a blue-robed monk was helpless and held up a sign.

"64 medium-grade spirit stones, this monk's friend told me to take them, so I can only reluctantly keep increasing the price." In the atrium, a gray-robed monk followed up with a sign.

"70 medium-grade spirit stones." The blue-robed friar, who claimed to have made his last bid, suddenly soared in price.

As the auctioneer fell three times, the gray-robed monk who claimed that he would keep increasing the price did not follow up, and the bottle of desire elixir was finally obtained by the blue-robed monk.

None of these people are talking. ，... Chen Ping was powerless to complain.

I thought in my heart that when I would bid for my own auction, if someone maliciously arched the fire, I would give up decisively and not be wronged.

Around noon, it was finally Chen Ping's turn to pay attention to something - a set of equipment for the Nine Palaces Psychedelic Array produced by the master.

"Although it is only a second-order formation instrument, this set is from the Nangong Master of the Nanswamp Artifact Sect, the forbidden pattern is very perfect, and all the scales are controlled just right, more is too much and less is too little. It's a real wonder. ... Let's not talk about more, all the array mages will know when they look at the finished product. ...。 Well, the starting price is 220 medium-grade spirit stones. Bell~, filming has officially begun."

After the auctioneer presented a complete set of utensils on the spot, the bidding officially began.

The array disks of the first-order formation are usually 5-15, and the unit price of each array disk or control token is about 4-8 medium-grade spirit stones.

After the second-order formation, the number of arrays will increase slightly, but the fluctuation range of the unit price will be much larger.

The number of array disks is usually 7-20, but the unit price is from 5-30 medium-grade spirit stones.

It has to do with the quality, but also with the situation of the formation.

In terms of complexity, the Nine Palaces Psychedelic Array belongs to the middle level of the second-order formation, and the unit price of the array is the same.

This set of Nine Palaces Psychedelic Array has a total of 15 array disks and 5 control tokens.

The starting price is 220 medium-grade spirit stones, which is almost the price of the array plate of the Nine Palaces Psychedelic Array on the market.

It's a conscience price.

Every time you increase it in the future, it is a premium brought by quality.

「......」

"240 medium-grade spirit stones."

"245 medium-grade spirit stones."

「......」

"250 medium-grade spirit stones for the first time, do you still want them? 255 medium-grade spirit stones again, do any Taoist friends still need to raise cards? ... I saw it, the No. 18 private room quoted for the first time today, and the price was 255 medium-grade spirit stones..."

Chen Ping only participated in the quotation when the price was almost there.

A high-quality array is good, but it is not only the array that determines the strength of a formation, but also the ability of the formation mage itself.

If the formation ability is not strong, it is useless to give a good array disk.

Because of this, if the price is slightly higher than the custom price on the market, there are still many array mages participating in the auction.

If the price premium is large, the enthusiasm of many array mages to participate in the auction will be lost.

Sure enough, after Chen Ping reported 255 medium-grade spirit stones, there were no other colored jade bidders.

Chen Ping breathed a sigh of relief.

'The first one arrived, and the price was okay. ，

'There's not too much of a premium. ，

A high-quality array may not be useful to others, but it is very valuable to Chen Ping.

His formation skills can be very good, and a good formation can ensure the stability of the formation, so as not to become the weakness of the entire formation.

After the auction ended, it didn't take long for the auction house disciples to send a complete set of array plates into the private room.

"Senior, the entire set of equipment of the Nine Palaces Psychedelic Array is already here, please check." The disciple of the auction house carefully held a delicately decorated and luxurious gift box.

The gift box was ajar for Chen Ping to check.

The auctioneer did not boast. As a top-level first-order array mage, Chen Ping immediately saw the extraordinaryness of this array.

I can see that the refiner behind it is attentive.

"No problem, let's leave it here." Chen Ping commanded.

After completing the payment procedures, the disciple of the auction house said:

"When you leave at noon, the seniors can wait here for a while, and there is a special passage to send the seniors out, so as not to be targeted by the robbery."

That's what professionalism is.

It's still quite well thought out

Thoughtful.

In the afternoon of the same day.

Chen Ping continued to auction the Dragon Hidden Spirit Gathering Array (Second Order) and the Six Xun Six Array (Second Order) at the price of 185 medium-grade spirit stones and 280 medium-grade spirit stones.

At the end of the first day, Chen Ping originally wanted to look for Li Feiyu, but he waited outside the door for a long time and didn't see him, and it was estimated that it was possible to leave early.

The second and third days continued.

During this period, Chen Ping tried to shoot 3 times, once for a magic weapon, once for a third-order magic sword, and followed a few times, but the premium was too serious and he gave up.

Another time was a pair of male and female Mu red carp, which spent 366 medium-grade spirit stones and successfully photographed.

Mu Hongyu has a terrible fang, and the teeth are very sharp, and it doesn't look cute at all.

However, Mu red carp can purify water quality, exhale aura, and improve the aura content of water quality.

This makes a lot of sense.

For most of the rest of the time, Chen Ping focused on watching the excitement.

For example, on the second day, during the auction, a very unique-looking Meizu woman in the Western Regions was auctioned.

There are too many incredible things in this world, and there are too many people with special habits, Chen Ping didn't think there was anything about it, but the problem was that Li Feiyu in the inferior private room actually participated in several consecutive bids at the end, and in the end, it was because there were too many prices that this guy finally gave up, and it seemed that he was very reluctant to give up.

I didn't expect Li Feiyu to be so good.

After the three-day auction ended, Chen Ping deliberately came out early, waited outside for a while, followed Li Feiyu for a while, and finally returned to his normal face and walked over to say hello:

"Li Daoyou, why are you here?"

Li Feiyu met his old acquaintance in another country, and he was surprised and surprised when he saw Chen Ping:

"Lord Chen Feng? Are you here too? You just joined the auction?"

"Lord Chen Feng? It's me, Ji Yan." Another monk who was walking with Li Feiyu also greeted Chen Ping in surprise when he saw him, obviously disfigured.

"It turned out to be Ji Daoyou, what a coincidence. There are a lot of people here, and it's not a place to talk. Let's go to the inn and talk?"

"Very good!"
