Chapter Ninety-One, Antiquities Trade, Stunning Four (1)
In order to win over Tian Hao, a "comer from the Middle Domain", Wu Tianxing was quite polite to the Xuanjian Sect team, not only letting them live in the City Lord's Mansion, but also personally taking Tian Hao and Shangguan Ruoxi to go shopping in Xuanwu City for three consecutive days.
Moreover, whenever Shangguan Ruoxi sees something, he will help pay for the spirit stone, on the grounds that he is the city lord and it is cheap to buy things?
Tian Hao naturally saw that he was showing favor to himself, and he didn't break it.
Shangguan Ruoxi was a little embarrassed to owe people family favors all the time, but Tian Hao was the opposite of her, not only did he not refuse to come, but even sometimes saw that Wu Tianxing did not take the initiative to pay, and also took the initiative to remind Wu Tianxing that it was time to pay!
This made Shangguan Ruoxi feel even more embarrassed, but Wu Tianxing kept laughing and said that this was good, saying that Tian Hao didn't treat him as an outsider, and he couldn't ask for it.
Therefore, in the past three days, under the "temptation" of Tian Hao, Wutian Xing bought nearly 100 million spirit stones from the Xuanjian Sect, which made him feel so painful. On the fourth day, he finally couldn't bear Tian Hao's "exploitation" of himself like this, and found a reason that he was about to break through and needed to retreat for a few days.
But what he didn't expect was that Tian Hao actually took out something that he couldn't refuse in order to make him pay-Barrier Breaking Pill!
This is something that immortal cultivators can use when they cultivate to the distraction realm, and the effect is that it can enhance the chance of epiphany at the peak of distraction, so as to make it easier to break through.
As a physical cultivator, Wu Tianxing, plus he happened to be a powerhouse in the Golden Body Realm, he happened to use this thing, and this thing was simply a priceless treasure to him.
Therefore, this guy said that his own affairs can be put aside, and it is a big deal to accompany Tian Hao and the two of them to "familiarize themselves with the environment of Xuanwu City" first.
So, this time, Tian Hao directly "sacrificed the dragon slaying knife" and slaughtered him once!
In fact, as early as yesterday, Tian Hao knew that a lot of spirit stones would be used today, because today was the antiquities trading day of the Xuanwu Auction House in Xuanwu City.
The so-called "Antiquities Fair Day" refers to the special trade fair held once a year in Xuanwu City. What makes it special is that although the trade is held in an auction house, there is only one thing that is traded - antiquities that are old or even unknown.
Every day, the various forces of the lower regions will come here to participate in the fair, they will either take out the antiquities they have obtained this year to auction, or they want to find their favorite antiquities to trade today.
As for the price and value of something, it depends......
Hearing the word "antiquities", Tian Hao was actually not very interested, but Shangguan Ruoxi said that the Xuanjian Sect's "Alchemy Secrets" was obtained at this antiquities fair hundreds of years ago.
Because of this "Secret of Alchemy", the Xuanjian Sect was able to start the pill business as a sword cultivation sect, and since then, the pill has become an indispensable source of income for the Xuanjian Sect!
This made Tian Hao suddenly interested, maybe he was lucky and found a good thing at the trade fair?
With the help of the God-King by his side, he believes that no one can match the value of antiquities.
However, it is useless to watch it again, and when the time comes, there is no money to buy it, so you can only watch it. Of course, this is not the most important thing, the most important thing is that there will be a requirement for this transaction - either someone at the level of the sect will be in person, or someone big will bring it in.
As a result, Wu Tianxing, the unjust leader, was targeted by Tian Hao, and pulled him from the "busy" with the Barrier Breaking Pill as bait.
When he learned that Tian Hao was going to participate in the antiquities fair. Wu Tianxing, who finally shirked his own affairs, obviously showed a different color.
However, Tian Hao only thought that he was afraid that he would spend too much money on him and show a different color, so he specially comforted him and said that he was just looking at it casually and would not pit him too much......
……
In fact, the so-called antiquities fair is a transaction, but it is more like a meeting between big forces and another kind of contest.
Because the fair is not open to the public, and the trading methods and the people who participate are very different from ordinary auctions!
First of all, you have to have at least one antiquity, and it must be more than 3,000 years old!
Secondly, you have to be a second-level sect or above, and you must be the sect master or someone brought by the sect master.
The third, and most important, is trading currencies. Generally speaking, the major forces should not lack spirit stones, and they should pay more attention to valuables. Therefore, it stands to reason that bartering should be more feasible on such occasions. But in fact, it is - trading currency only recognizes spirit stones.
In the eyes of outsiders, it is true that there is no shortage of spirit stones in the great forces, but only those at the Yuan Infant level know that in the lower domain, spirit stones are more important than anything else, and they will become more and more important.
Because the aura in the lower domain is still slowly drying up, and in the future, it is estimated that many people can only cultivate by absorbing the energy of spirit stones, so no one thinks that there are few spirit stones.
This has led to the fact that the antiquities fair only recognizes spirit stones, and rarely appears in the form of barter, and it is even said that there has not been a barter in the past two hundred years......
Of course. This is not absolute, if you really don't want to use spirit stones when you see something, and the other party is willing to exchange with the antiquities in your hand, that's fine.
That's why participants are required to have at least one artifact on them......
……
I thought that I would encounter auction scenes such as the rush in the TV series, which is one of the reasons why Tian Hao took Wu Tianxing. Because once there is a fierce bidding, the number of spirit stones required will definitely not be low.
However, when Tian Hao came to the scene with Shangguan Ruoxi and Wu Tianxing, he saw a scene that made him wonder.
The trading place is indeed an auction house in Xuanwu City, and, for the sake of the antiquities fair, the auction house is closed today, and it is only open to the antiquities fair.
The three of them were led in by a special person in charge, and when they entered the gate, there was no noisy scene, the whole auction house was unusually deserted, and in the central hall of the auction house, a huge table came into view.
The table is not round or square, but has eight sides, like a gossip diagram. With a diameter of about 30 meters, it looks very large.
Moreover, the middle of the table was empty, and an old man wearing the exclusive costume of the Xuanwu City City Lord's Mansion was standing in the hollow in the center of the table. At this time, his face was slightly anxious, as if he was waiting for something!
When Tian Hao and the others came in, a group of more than thirty people were sitting quietly in their respective positions with their eyes closed, and these people were all at the level of the sect masters of the second- and third-level sects in the lower region.
They were all followed by a young man, male or female, who were the most powerful disciples of their respective sects.
Just when the old man was in a hurry, a middle-aged man wearing a black armor opened his eyes and asked the old man in the center of the table: "I said Wu Lao, what is the situation today?" Why haven't you started yet? ”
This person has a strange appearance: he is two meters five tall, his face is pale, his lips are dark, he is wearing a black battle armor, and even a semi-encircling helmet on his head, which looks particularly unusual. Because everyone else was wearing cloth, he was wearing armor.
As soon as he asked, the others opened their eyes and looked at the old man in the middle of the table.
"Wait, there's a VIP who hasn't arrived yet!" The old man known as the "dancing elder" laughed.
He had to laugh, because the person who asked the question had a very large background, big enough to ignore the second-level sects around him, and he was the right protector of the Yama Palace.
That's right, he's just a Dharma protector, but he's sitting with a group of sect masters, and he's the only one who isn't at the sect master level!
"Hmph......" the armored man snorted coldly, "Who is such a big showmanship?" Let's wait for him? ”
"What? Everyone doesn't mind, but you Yama Hall mind? Wait, what's wrong with Lao Tzu? The voice of Wu Tianxing appeared, and at the same time, a person also appeared around the corner of the door, walking towards the table with two young people, a man and a woman!
Seeing Wu Tianxing appear, the old man in the center of the table suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.
And when the right protector of the Yama Hall heard the sound of dancing Tianxing, his face also changed.
To say that among the people present, he can say that no one is afraid, but Wu Tianxing is different.
Because Wu Tianxing is a physical cultivation, and it is a physical cultivation that is stronger than him. He was only at the peak of the marrow washing realm, while Wu Tianxing broke through ten years ago and reached the golden body realm!
"Lord of the city, naturally wait!" The right protector of the Yama Hall stood up and leaned over slightly to say hello.
Others, however, stood up and bowed in salute in advance.
"Okay, okay, Lao Tzu doesn't like this kind of bells and whistles etiquette, dance Lao, let's start!" After Wu Tianxing finished speaking, he walked towards the empty chair!
Everyone didn't sit down first, but watched Wu Tianxing walk to their place.
But the next scene shocked everyone present.
I saw Wutian walking to his place, but he didn't sit down, he swept the non-existent dust on the chair with his sleeve, and then looked at Tian Hao and said, "Brother Tian, sit!"
"What?"
"Who is this person?"
"What did the city lord call this young man just now?"
……
Wu Tianxing's words directly caused a shock in the hearts of everyone present.
They saw Tian Hao and Shangguan Ruoxi just now, but they only regarded the two of them as Wu Tianxing's entourage or something, and no matter how high they were, they only regarded the two as Wu Tianxing's juniors.
But at this time, Wu Tianxing actually gave him a seat? There is also a subtle action of sweeping the ashes, which directly makes everyone dumbfounded!
"Just a chair? Isn't that good? Tian Hao said with a smile.
Wu Tianxing said with a smile: "There have always been only thirty-six chairs in the fair, which represents the thirty-six most powerful forces in the lower domain......"
"That's not possible, my family Ruoxi has no location, you don't have a location, this is not suitable!" After Tian Hao finished speaking, he directly took out two chairs from the Heavenly Ring.
The chair was released and instantly attracted the attention of everyone present, including Wu Tianxing.
Because the chairs on the site are all wooden, they are made of thousand-year-old phoenix wood and painted with high-grade paint.
And Tian Hao took out two jade chairs, just looking at the crystal clear material, you know that this jade is not ordinary.
Moreover, when Tian Hao took out the two chairs, a burst of refreshing energy emanated from the chairs and dispersed around!
"Hiss......" Everyone involuntarily took a deep breath and felt that the air was different!
"What kind of treasure is this? How miraculous is it? ”
"This thing is so precious, I'm afraid it's better than what everyone present prepared today!"
"Where did this man come from? There is such a handiwork......"
In an instant, everyone began to guess Tian Hao's identity again!
