Volume 1 Soul Academy Chapter 15 Auction
As the door to the venue was shut, a young woman in a tight white dress stood on the auction table.
"Good afternoon, auctioneers, I am Bai Lin, the host of this auction, and I wish you all the best to buy your favorite goods. ”
Sweet voices echoed through the empty venue, where fewer than a hundred auctioneers were now seated.
Lei Luo and Han Lingxuan's excitement was instantly raised to the highest point, and the two teenagers seemed to be looking forward to this strange experience.
"The No. 1 commodity is a two-person single teleportation stone, and I believe everyone understands the information of the commodity, so I won't explain it anymore, the bottom price is four spirit stones. Bai Lin motioned for everyone to look at the auction table, and at the same time, two tall and strong men pushed out a wide stone platform, on which a teleportation stone was placed.
"Five Spirit Stones. ”
A gentle voice rang out from the second row of seats, and a young woman held up the number plate in her hand, number three.
"Five spirit stones, fifty gold coins!"
In the seat in the same row as Lei Luo and Han Lingxuan, a middle-aged man with blond hair also raised the number plate in his hand and shouted loudly.
"Now auctioneer number 42 is the highest bidder. Bai Lin smiled, and at the same time glanced at all the auctioneers in the venue, many of them raised their number plates and quoted their own prices, and the price skyrocketed for a while.
"Eleven Spirit Stones!" Lei Luo also excitedly raised the number plate and shouted loudly with the crowd.
For a moment the crowd fell silent, staring at the two teenagers.
Han Lingxuan felt a little embarrassed, and hurriedly whispered to Lei Luo: "Although multi-person teleportation stones are rare, they are worth ten spirit stones at most. ”
"I was so excited, I didn't control it, and I really didn't know the market price of these goods. Lei Luo chuckled sheepishly, knowing that he was too impulsive.
The No. 3 woman in the second row noticed Lei Luo's reaction, she knew that this young man really didn't understand, so she didn't say anything more, and then shouted: "Eleven spirit stones and one copper coin." ”
"Okay, it looks like the No. 1 product has found its home, congratulations to the No. 3 auctioneer!"
Bai Lin decisively rang the bell on the auction table, and then motioned to the other workers to put out another stone platform, shouting: "The No. 2 commodity is a soul nourishing pill, it can instantly fill the consumption of soul power below the forty layers, after identification, it is a spirit pill that has just been formed, and the reserve price is fifty gold coins." ”
Hearing this, Lei Luo recalled in his mind the knowledge about the elixir.
The ten countries of Jiuzhou have their own flowers and herbs and prescriptions, but the most famous of them is the country of wood, and the method of evaluating the level of elixir in history has been formulated by the ancestors of the country of wood, and the elixir of the country of wood is also the most precious commodity in Jiuzhou.
The preciousness of the elixir is divided into four levels, mortal, spiritual, superb, and superb.
There are three different stages in these four levels, which are primary, immaculate, and perfect.
"Soul Nourishing Pills of spiritual products are indeed rare, and we happen to be able to use them, let's take a look at the price first, it's not worth it if it's more than one spirit stone. Han Lingxuan whispered to Lei Luo.
Lei Luo sighed in surprise and in a low voice, "Ling Xuan, you know everything, it's amazing!"
"I just happen to know this, but there are a lot of things I can't see. Han Lingxuan replied with a smile, he had been paying attention to the bidding, and he wanted to make a move.
In the end, this Soul Nourishing Pill was auctioned by the forty-two golden-haired middle-aged man in the same row of two teenagers for ninety-four gold coins.
Later, many rare materials and supplies were auctioned, and although there were few auctioneers, the atmosphere was always lively.
Maybe it was because they didn't see the goods they wanted, Lei Luo and Han Lingxuan didn't make any more moves, and the two enjoyed the auction with great interest.
"Congratulations to all the auctioneers for their success, and now we will present the last lot, which is also the most precious item of the day. Bai Lin mobilized the atmosphere of the venue and put out the last auction item in the expectant and focused eyes of everyone.
A palm-sized slab fragment is engraved with a complete 'Tian' character, and from the smooth stone body, it can be distinguished that this is a white stone that has undergone countless years, and has already had traces of jade.
Lei Luo noticed the curiosity and contemplation in Han Lingxuan's expression beside him, obviously this best friend didn't know what it was.
No one seemed to know what it was, and the entire venue fell silent for a while.
Bai Lin on the auction table said at the right time: "As you can see, this is a white stone that has been stored for a long time, and the owner of our auction house accidentally found it when he traveled in the Land of Water, and no one knows its purpose and origin, and now I can only tell you that this white stone originated from the era of gods and demons, and the reserve price is fifty spirit stones." ”
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere of the whole venue became more solemn, and everyone was carefully examining the stones on the auction table.
Lei Luo also sighed: "I didn't expect it to originate from the era of gods and demons, three thousand years ago in that chaotic era, it is said that it was the mythical war that split Zhongzhou, and there is now the country of light and darkness." ”
Such historical artifacts are the most difficult to value, they may have important historical significance, but they may also be just ornaments. Han Lingxuan nodded solemnly, as if he was estimating the value of this white stone.
Lei Luo stared at the word 'heaven', feeling that this white stone seemed to have some kind of attraction to him, and said: "Even if it is only the meaning of decoration, I think it is enough, after all, it is a thing of that era!"
Han Lingxuan said with a smile: "The history of Kyushu can be traced back to five thousand years ago, the ten gods disappeared after creating Jiuzhou, and experienced countless chaotic years, until the Soul Heavenly God Emperor defeated the Demon King, and finally unified Jiuzhou, which is the era name we use now, the Soul Year. ”
"Five thousand years and ten gods created the world, three thousand years of god emperors were unified, and one thousand years and ten kingdoms were divided, the longer these histories are, the more unclear we are, so no matter what historical era it is, I think it makes sense. Lei Luo made up his mind to get the white stone.
Han Lingxuan saw Lei Luo's thoughts and said, "Luo, I still have three hundred spirit stones now, all of them will be handed over to you, let's see if I can take a picture." ”
Although both of them are princes, they are not able to use them infinitely and spend them casually in terms of coins, Lei Luo's three hundred spirit stones are all his own savings in ten years, and I believe that Han Lingxuan is the same.
Lei Luo patted his best friend with some emotion, and said with a smile: "Ling Xuan, thank you!"
Han Lingxuan took out his money bead and patted Lei Luo's shoulder with a smile.
"The third auctioneer bids a hundred spirit stones!"
At this time, the auction of the stones had officially begun, and the two teenagers were all concentrated and ready to show their strength.
Lei Luo held up his number plate and shouted, "One hundred and twenty spirit stones." ”
"Okay, now the number eighty-five auctioneer is bidding for one hundred and twenty spirit stones!"
"One hundred and fifty!"
"Auctioneer No. 1 bids one hundred and fifty!"
The auctioneers at the venue all looked solemn, observing the expressions of the others around them, as if they wanted to find a reasonable price.
After a few minutes, the price of this white stone was instantly raised to five hundred and twenty spirit stones, such a sky-high price is very rare to appear in the auction, many auctioneers who participated in the auction have given up their bidding, and sigh with joy, such a price is enough for hundreds of people to spend a year of life in luxury.
There are only four auctioneers still bidding, the white-haired youth on the first day, the young woman on the third row, the blonde middle-aged man on the same row on the forty-second and the eighty-fifth Lei Luo.
Lei Luo gritted his teeth, raised the number plate again, and shouted, "Five hundred and ninety spirit stones." ”
The crowd in the venue was in an uproar, and everyone now stopped paying attention to the ages of the two teenagers and began to enjoy this rare bidding with relish.
The white-haired young man of No. 1 sat in the last row, and saw Lei Luo's expression clearly, he knew that this young man who looked very rich had reached his limit, so he smiled easily: "Six hundred spirit stones!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone was in an uproar, Lei Luo finally gave up, and sighed softly in disappointment, he really wanted to take a picture of this white stone and give it to Sister Ziling, who was about to turn eighteen.
Han Lingxuan also felt a little lost, and patted Lei Luo, which had completely exceeded the limit of the two.
"Six hundred and ten spirit stones!"
At this time, the young woman of number three was still raising the price.
The white-haired young man on No. 1 waved his hand helplessly, obviously feeling that the value of the product had been exceeded, so he did not plan to continue bidding.
"Six hundred and fifty!"
The middle-aged man on the forty-second easily raised the number plate in his hand and instantly became the focus of everyone.
"I think the voice is familiar, it turns out to be the richest man Guangyoutang!"
"No wonder you are so lavish, I didn't expect the richest man to be a guest at our civilian auction!"
"The man with a net worth of millions of spirit stones is not said casually, he is still the richest man in the Land of Light!"
Many auctioneers in the venue recognized this middle-aged man, because they were in the same row, Lei Luo and Han Lingxuan were both looking at this man carefully, the skin on his resolute face was full of luster and looked very healthy.
The young woman of No. 3 frowned and wanted to raise the number plate again, but the auctioneer of No. 42, Guangyoutang, did not give the woman a chance, and shouted again: "Seven hundred spirit stones!"
The young woman turned to look at Youtang and stopped talking, knowing that the richest man was determined to auction this white stone, and she would definitely lose, so she no longer participated in the bidding.
"Congratulations to the auctioneer No. 42 for getting the white stone of his choice, this is the end of our auction, I wish you all a smooth journey!" Bai Lin rang the auction bell, this time the bell was very loud, and the aftermath echoed in the venue for a long time.
Lei Luo and Han Lingxuan slowly left the auction with the crowd, and until they left the door of the venue on the third floor, the two still did not come back to their senses.
This auction experience was really eye-opening, and both teenagers were very excited, although they didn't buy any items, and even wasted a gold coin in vain, both teenagers felt that it was worth it!
Back at the market on the second floor, the two of them wandered leisurely.
I came to the stall that specializes in teleportation stones, but due to the scarcity of goods, there were actually only five stones in this stall.
Lei Luo and Han Lingxuan each bought a single teleportation stone, and each stone cost five spirit stones.
The two of them stopped in front of the store that sold books.
Looking at the different volumes of books, the two teenagers had gold stars in their eyes, and they were eager to buy the entire store.
Since childhood, books that tell various stories have been revolving around the lives of the two teenagers, depicting the wonderful and diverse world of Jiuzhou.
After taking a few rolls casually, Lei Luo couldn't spare his hands, but his eyes were still scanning the store.
Han Lingxuan was the same, he even put the book he had already taken at his feet, and then flipped through the other books.
"Even if you buy these things, it's not convenient for the two of you to bring them back to the academy. ”
At this time, a familiar voice came from behind the two of them.
Turning around, it was the No. 42 auctioneer who was sitting in the same row with the two at the auction, the richest man Guangyoutang.
Lei Luo was stunned for a moment, and asked, "Do you know us?"
Hearing Lei Luo's question, Guangyoutang's expression was obviously a lot more relaxed, and he said with a smile: "Of course, all the things in the Soul Academy have spread all over the Holy Domain a few days ago, you must be those two princes of the worldly country." ”
Han Lingxuan caught a hint of luck in Guangyoutang's eyes, and said in a deep voice: "The news that is circulating is another matter, but our appearance is not known to everyone, you were testing us just now!"
"Of course, after all, I have been observing for a long time since the two of you entered the auction hall at noon, rich, young but intelligent, and temperamentally unusual, which is already very telling. Guangyoutang didn't care about the vigilance of the two teenagers, and replied with a smile.
Lei Luo and Han Lingxuan did not relax their vigilance, but there was more doubt in their expressions.
Openly admit that you are stalking, is this for any purpose, or is there some request?
Guangyoutang smiled mysteriously and said, "It's almost dinner time, let's find a place to talk in detail!"
