Chapter 166: A Different Auction
"It turns out that the cave mansion of the Du clan is really good, and the aura is at the same level as my Baiyulou...... Looking at it this way, although the Black Mountain County is barren and sinister, it has exclusive access to the Black Mountain Range, and as long as the spiritual land is developed, it is far superior to other sects. β
Bai Zichen's expression moved, from this point of view, Montenegro is not bad.
Just like Yang Laozu said, as long as the sect adds another Jiedan real person, he will be able to take down the Heavenly Thunder Cliff immediately, and add a third-order spiritual vein.
The Black Mountain Range is actually a huge treasure, but it requires a higher level of strength from the pioneers.
"I'll just say that at the beginning, the ancestor of the Kai faction cultivated the five-crystal glazed body to the fourth layer, and it was known as invincible, and he could confront Yuanying Zhenjun for a ...... Since such a person has decided to start a sect, how could he choose a mountain gate with no development prospects. β
There is a no-fly formation in the sky above the Zengguang Immortal City, and in addition to walking, the best means of transportation are huge ray beasts.
The body is flat, with a long, slender tail in the shape of a whip, and the wings on both sides are spread out enough to be the size of a palace, which can easily stand hundreds of people.
The ray beast is huge, but it only has a first-order peak grade, and with a docile temperament, it is very easy to be controlled by humans, so it can be regarded as one of the best large flying spirit beasts.
In the nearby countries, only Zengguang Immortal City has thousands of heads, and even the Ten Thousand Beasts Gate does not have this kind of spirit beast.
After paying the fare for the car and boat of ten spirit stones, Bai Zichen stood on the ray beast and shook it for almost an hour before arriving at the Dingchou District and finding the location of the auction house.
Jin Lu found a knowledgeable guest from the auction house, signed up for next month's auction in the name of Qingfeng Gate, and paid a registration deposit of ten medium-grade spirit stones.
"Senior Brother Bai, do you want me to take you to the auction house, when the auction is not held, it is similar to a large tourist mall...... You can consign your treasure through an auction house, and they will have someone to assess whether it is suitable for the auction. β
Jin Lu pointed to the empty hall, where there were only a few rows of booths, and a few monks stopped to evaluate.
"If you fancy a treasure, if it is not a lot or from the last auction, you can negotiate directly with the seller. If it is a lot, even if the price is high, you can only wait for the same person to bid at the auction. β
Bai Zichen glanced at it and shook his head in refusal.
If you think about it, you know that the treasures you need are at least at the level of high-grade spiritual weapons, unless the attributes are extremely poor, how can they be lost.
"Okay, let's find a nearby cave to live in first."
Jin Lu beckoned a helper at the door of the auction, threw over a low-grade spirit stone, and said, "Take us to the nearest rental cave mansion, it is cost-effective...... If you are satisfied, I will continue to hire you tomorrow. β
The helper took the spirit stone, bowed busily, and then carefully led the way in front.
This kind of help in the early stage of qi refining is quite a few in Zengguang Immortal City, and he has the right of permanent residence because of his parents.
But even if a cultivator in the late stage of Qi refining, without a skill, it would be very hard to live in the Zengguang Immortal City.
This kind of helper is to use his familiarity in this area, guide the introduction, and earn some spiritual stones for monks from other places.
A second-order Zhongpin Cave Mansion, with three quiet rooms, a living room, and a guest room, is rented for a month to cost five medium-grade spirit stones.
"No wonder it is said that it is not easy to live in the immortal city...... I don't have any net worth, and I really can't afford to live. β
Bai Zichen looked at Jin Lu's expression, the price was still cheap enough, and he immediately touched the spirit stone from the storage bag.
However, anyway, all the expenses incurred on the way to escort the Golden Crown Lingzhi were borne by the sect.
After living in the cave, Jin Lu used the excuse of going to visit an old man who lived in the fairy city, so he rushed away, leaving Bai Zichen alone in the cave.
"Could it be that there is an old friend of Senior Brother Jin in the Immortal City?"
Bai Zichen looked at Jin Lu's back, thinking that he had an inexplicable yearning for Zengguang Immortal City along the way, and speculated in his heart.
didn't go far, and walked around the streets on both sides of the rented cave, but soon lost interest.
"These shops are about the same standard as the Montenegrin branch of Wanbao Pavilion, and there are not many good goods...... Listening to those gossips, the real treasures are in the shops in the inner city, or the auction can only see the real face, and they are happy in vain. β
Bai Zichen was holding the idea of looking for a top-grade spiritual weapon, or even a top-grade spiritual weapon, of course, it was impossible to gain it in the shops in the outer city.
In the inner city, behind every shop represents a force to be reckoned with.
For example, the Spirit Beast Pavilion of the Ten Thousand Beast Gate and the Enlargement and Branch Pavilion of the Ten Thousand Treasure Pavilion all occupy a place in the inner city.
Not only the forces of the Liang State, but also the other three countries bordering Xiancheng, the domestic forces of the Yudan also tried their best to obtain a small shop.
As for the Yuanying-level forces, if they are willing to be stationed in the Zengguang Immortal City, the Du clan will take the initiative to choose a complete pearl palace in the inner city as a gift as a garrison faΓ§ade.
"The auction is approaching, and the fine treasures have already been selected for sale, so the quality of the goods in the shops has dropped...... Instead of visiting one by one, it is better to wait for the auction to come. Each auction is divided into three rounds, including the cushion field, the main field, and the finale, and even the Golden Crown Ganoderma lucidum is only included in the main lot. β
Bai Zichen thought about it, and decided to meet his favorite treasure at the auction before making a move.
"The finale lots of the last round, I'm afraid they are all third-order treasures."
In this temporarily leased cave, the spiritual energy grade is only the second-order middle grade, so Bai Zichen, who has adapted to the third-order middle-grade spiritual land on weekdays, tried to run the exercises, and he felt the gap at once.
This kind of efficiency of slowly refining the aura of heaven and earth truly reflects the speed that a three-spirit root cultivator should have.
Reluctantly ran the Fire Dragon Returning Yuan Sutra for a week, and gave up his cultivation in the Zengguang Immortal City.
It is better to continue to practice the Divine Casting Technique, at least the cultivation in the sea will not make a difference because of the level of aura.
β¦β¦
Twenty-six days later.
In front of the auction house, the monks rubbed shoulders one after another, and a strong aura appeared, and it was inevitable that there would be past enemies meeting in the middle, and there was tension.
But looking at the Du monks on duty, as well as the guest monks recruited by the fairy city, no one had the courage to make a move in the fairy city, so they could only snort at each other and sneer at each other.
Jin Lu didn't return to the lease cave until this morning, and the two went to the auction house together.
Bai Zichen felt more and more that his guess might be true, how could it be possible to visit his old friend for so long.
"We're in box B 37 on the second floor, and we go upstairs directly."
Jin Lu took out a white jade ring, and after being inspected by this Du family foundation building monk, he was allowed to climb to the second floor.
Qingfeng Sect almost came back to participate in the auction of the Zengguang Immortal City, in addition to the thousand-year-old Golden Crown Lingzhi, when the spirit stones on hand were abundant, they would also purchase some spiritual weapons to fill the inventory of the Refining Weapon Palace.
Only then can you book a private room, otherwise you will have to squeeze together with people in the hall on the first floor.
"This is today's lot manual, is it finally out by this time......
The two were ushered into a quiet box, and a soundproof and divine sense formation was set up to ensure that the identity of the VIPs in the box was not revealed.
Bai Zichen opened the manual and found that there were hundreds of auctions in the pad field alone.
Moreover, there is no shortage of high-quality products.
"Our goal is in the second round, Senior Brother Bai can first see if there are any items he likes in the previous round, and the first round of auction will start immediately."
Jin Lu also held a volume of brochures introducing the lots, and read it with relish.
Bai Zichen knew that because of the development of the spirit stone vein and the breakthrough of the Mo family, there was a lot more spirit stone reserves in the sect.
So this time, the elders discussed and decided to temporarily reduce the reserve spirit stones.
The spirit stones on the auction belt are several times that of the past, and strive to bring back a few more golden crown Ganoderma lucidum.
"Five hundred copies of second-order red copper, one hundred catties each, the starting price is one hundred spirit stones, please complete the bid within a quarter of an hour."
It wasn't long before a loud voice came from the center of the hall, clearly reaching the ears of every monk.
At the same time, a water mirror rose in the box, on which the images of the auctioned red copper were condensed, and a pen was placed next to it to fill in his own quotation directly.
Bai Zichen was confused for a while, not all auctioneers at the auction had lotus tongues, danced the emotions of the audience, and auctioned the nine-point goods at a price of twelve points.
Why, right now, what I see is completely different from what I usually know.
"The Fairy City auction is different from auctions in other places...... The vast majority of auctions are open auctions, where everyone grabs each other's treasures, and you compete for me. Only the first two rounds of auctions here are secret auctions, and the auctioneer's appraisal level is more considered. β
Jin Lu picked up the paintbrush and filled in the price of one hundred and ten spirit stones.
seemed to see Bai Zichen's doubts, and introduced the process of the auction in Xiancheng.
"For example, this hundred catties of red copper, the starting price is a hundred spirit stones, as long as it exceeds this price, you can bid at will. In the end, the highest bidder won the lot. β
"Isn't it true that everyone is not interested in a lot, and I am the only one who is bidding...... Just add a spirit stone, and you can get it in your pocket? β
Bai Zichen is keenly aware of this, in this way, he will not miss a single lot, and add ten spirit stones on the basis of the low price in each round, and he will always be lucky to bump into it.
"It's not that simple, how can other auction houses leave such obvious flaws...... The seller can set a price for the block, assuming that the price of the copper price is two hundred spirit stones. As long as I can't get the lot that the seller has put up the bid for, my 110 spirit stones will be the highest price, and I will have to return them to others. β
This kind of behavior of not seeing the opponent's bid in the auction makes the mystery of the auction greatly increased, and it is no longer a game of just comparing who has the number of spirit stones.
At the beginning, the lots were all second-order spiritual materials, pills, and talismans, numbering in hundreds, obviously for the sect or the immortal cultivation family.
It is enough for a normal monk to buy one or two pieces, such as taking tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or hundreds of thousands of pieces of the same rune paper at one time, and only the sect has that need to use it.
"Ten bottles of second-order quenching sword spirit water, each bottle starts at a thousand yuan!"
It wasn't until a few rounds passed that Bai Zichen's eyes lit up, and it was finally the first time that the lot he was interested in appeared.
Quenching sword spiritual water is used to soak the flying sword and repair the dark wounds of the flying sword, which can effectively extend the service life of the flying sword.
