Chapter 30: The Auction House
"Soul Condensing Pill?" The old man returned to the pharmacy and instructed another old man to prepare the Yuan Stone, and then shook his head at Fang Yan and said, "This thing is too sought-after, and occasionally a few can be bought by some acquaintances, so it is impossible to have it in stock." Otherwise, I wouldn't mind giving you one. ”
Seeing Fang Yan's disappointment, the old man probably felt that he had taken advantage of the young man in front of him, and the only remaining conscience in his heart felt a little uncomfortable, and added a sentence later: "However, just because I don't have it here doesn't mean that there are no other places." You can try your luck at the auction house, but the prices there may be a lot more expensive. However, with your current net worth, it will be easy to win a Soul Condensing Pill. ”
"Auction house?" Fang Yan perked up and asked, "Sir, what is the auction house?" Where is it? ”
"The so-called auction house is nothing more than another way for the rich and powerful forces to make money." The old man's tone revealed a burst of sourness, "It's to take out some extremely tempting medicinal herbs and weapons and exercises for everyone to compete, and in the end, the one with the highest price wins." It's like this panacea......"
The old man suddenly stopped in the middle of speaking, as if he felt that it was not appropriate to use this panacea pill in his hand as a metaphor, so he changed his words and said: "It's like a soul condensing pill, selling three hundred intermediate yuan stones in my shop." If you get it at the auction, it will take at least 500 yuan to get it, or even higher. The auction house is located right in the middle of the city and is easy to find. However, this auction house is only open twice a month, so you're in luck, tomorrow is the day it opens for the first time this month. ”
Fang Yan said gratefully: "I see, thank you for telling me." ”
The old man smiled slightly, took a small cloth bag taken out by the other old man and handed it to Fang Yan: "Here are two thousand intermediate yuan stones, you can order them." ”
Fang Yan took Yuanshi and took it directly into his arms. Then he said goodbye to the old man and left. One more look at this old man, his heart will suffer one more moment, and he will simply not see it.
As for the number of Yuan Stones, he was not worried, the old man in front of him had already taken such a big advantage on himself, and he would never do anything in these two thousand intermediate Yuan Stones.
Out of the pharmacy, Fang Yan once again walked aimlessly in the crowd, and he had already decided to stay for another day and try his luck at the auction house to see if he could buy a Soul Condensing Pill.
Before coming to Cloud City, he hadn't thought about buying the Soul Condensing Pill at all, at that time, he just wanted to use the three pills on his body to make up a thousand intermediate yuan stones to rescue his father, thank God. Where can there be other extravagant hopes?
But what he never dreamed of was that the pill on his body would be so valuable, and he would sell it for a sum of money far beyond his expectations.
Now he already has 2,500 intermediate yuan stones on his body, and in addition to giving the Ye family a thousand, he also has an extra thousand and fifteen hundreds. The mind naturally became active, wanting to improve his strength.
Even if there were so many more Yuan Stones, and he had finally come here, of course he was not willing to let go of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Even if he wasn't sure if there was a Soul Condensing Pill at that auction house, he would have to try his luck. If he can advance to the Soul Condensing Realm, this time he will go to the Ye family to rescue his father, and he will be even more confident. Even if he faced the two families of Shanglin, he dared to face him calmly alone.
Although he has the terrifying helper of the Golden Wing Demon Phoenix, it is an external force after all, and his own strong strength can make him completely at ease. Besides, the identity of the Golden Wing Demon Phoenix is sensitive, and he will not expose it unless it is absolutely necessary.
Following the direction the old man was pointing, Fang Yan found the location of the auction house without much effort, and after inquiring about some information about the auction house, he found an inn to stay in. Never came out again.
The night was fine, and the next morning, Fang Yan walked out of the inn in good spirits and went straight to the auction house in the center of the city. Although the auction did not start so soon, from the news found out yesterday, he knew that this auction hall was not large, and could only accommodate hundreds of people. Once full, the auction house closes. He didn't want to wait a night and end up not even getting in.
Arriving in the middle of the city, Fang Yan saw an antique wooden building at a glance, which was the auction house.
The doors of the auction hall have long been opened, and customers have already begun to be accepted. Fang Yan walked over, glanced at the two black-clothed men standing on both sides of the gate, and walked straight in.
The interior of the auction hall is oval-shaped, with a diameter of about dozens of zhang. There are more than a dozen rows of wooden chairs, some of which are already filled with people who come first in different costumes. Fang Yan just glanced at it casually, and he could see that at least half of this place had already entered the Soul Condensing Realm.
His face changed slightly, he found an inconspicuous corner and sat down, glanced at a round platform not far in front of him, and then turned his head with a little interest to look at the people who walked in one after another.
After a while, he noticed a strange phenomenon, many people entered the auction hall wearing masks, as if they did not want to be recognized. People can't see their true faces.
And most of the strength of these people with masks is at the tenth level of vitality, and only a few of them have entered the soul condensing realm. Seeing this, Fang Yan frowned slightly, and then smiled helplessly.
"It seems that I am still inexperienced." He wasn't stupid, so he naturally guessed the purpose of those people wearing masks.
There are so many people in this auction hall who have already stepped into the Soul Condensing Realm, in case they fall in love with the same item, no matter how many people in the Yuan Qi period are Yuan Stones, they must also consider it carefully. If that time really comes, I'm afraid that nine out of ten people will not dare to compete with the Soul Condensation Realm powerhouses whose strength is several times higher than their own.
Although no one dares to do anything out of the ordinary even in this auction market, no one can shrink into this cloud city for the rest of their lives. Who can guarantee that the other party will not wait outside the city? Even some Soul Condensing Realm powerhouses put on masks for fear of being too ostentatious to attract attention, which shows that the probability of this kind of thing happening is not small.
But with a mask, it's a different story. Even if they were strong in the Soul Condensing Realm, they could rest assured and boldly compete with them. Afterwards, find a place to take off the mask and change clothes, and no one can recognize anyone. Even those Soul Condensing Realm powerhouses wanted to settle accounts after the autumn, they were helpless.
Fang Yan looked at it for a moment, then closed his gaze. No more looking around so as not to attract attention. Although he didn't wear a mask, he wouldn't be polite at all if he liked something. For those strong people who have already entered the soul condensing realm, although he is afraid, he is not afraid. If there were really people who didn't know each other who dared to follow him out of the city, he could completely borrow the power of the Golden Winged Demon Phoenix to kill them in one fell swoop.
As time went on, the number of people in the auction room also increased, and most of the seats were full. But the strange thing is that although there are many people in the auction hall, there is no noise at all. Everyone was silent, each closed their eyes, and seemed extremely quiet, so that a trace of tension condensed in the air.
An hour later, the doors of the auction hall suddenly closed. The experienced man was shaken, opened his eyes, and set his gaze on a small door on the round platform.
On the round platform, an inconspicuous small door suddenly opened, and a young woman in a red dress came out, the woman had a graceful figure, curved curves, and walked out with graceful steps.
At the same time that the woman walked out, more than a dozen black-clothed people also came out of the audience, standing around the round platform in a surrounded manner, expressionless and motionless.
Fang Yan glanced at these people, his face changed again, and a cold sweat almost flowed down his back. These dozen or so people are all powerhouses in the Soul Condensation Realm.
Being able to cultivate so many Soul Condensing Realm powerhouses, Fang Yan couldn't imagine how terrifying the forces that founded this auction house must be. What kind of strength will the owner of this auction house be?
In the auction hall, in addition to dialects, many first-time participants swallowed their saliva fiercely, obviously shocked by such a luxurious lineup. I'm afraid that many people, like Fang Yan, have seen so many Soul Condensing Realm powerhouses for the first time.
The woman in the red dress walked to the center of the round platform, smiled charmingly, her red lips opened slightly, and she spit out a soft and delicate voice.
"Welcome to this auction, the guests are both old customers and newcomers who are participating for the first time. But it doesn't matter, whether you are new friends or old friends, high or low, we will treat everyone equally! There are some changes to the trading rules this time, and the items in this auction are not of low grade, so this auction is based on intermediate yuanshi. Each price increase must not be less than 5 intermediate yuanstones. After I shouted the reserve price for all the auction items, everyone will increase the price at will, and the one with the highest price will win. ”
After that, she looked around the audience and said with a smile: "Finally, I would like to remind you again, even if you don't take pictures of your favorite items in the end, it doesn't matter, you can try your luck next time." Be sure to keep your emotions in check, and don't do anything unruly to spoil the atmosphere of this room. Otherwise......"
At this point, she suddenly stopped silent, but the threat in her words could be heard by anyone. There are those who have even decided to be a pure spectator for the rest of their lives.
"I'm going to host this auction, and I'm going to auction the first item of this auction." After saying those scenes, the woman in the red dress no longer delayed time, and as soon as she flipped her palm, there was an extra blue book in her hand.
"This is a set of low-level exercises, called Chun Yuan Finger, practiced to the fullest, the power is not bad, one finger strike, enough to penetrate a century-old tree. The reserve price is 200 yuanshi. ”
