Chapter 44: The Auction (1)

Two days later, just after noon, Chen Tianye came to the bluestone on time.

At this time, the bluestone has already been processed fifty catties of first-line fire, and due to the better effect of the distillation device, the liquor produced this time is also better than the previous one. Chen Tianye tasted it, and couldn't help but smile and applaud again and again.

took wine for Chen Tianye, but Qingshi gave him another twenty catties of mountain peach brew, after worshipping the teacher, Qingshi naturally felt two more points of closeness to Chen Tianye.

After taking the wine, the two of them were ready to go to the auction. The auction venue was on Nanlong Avenue between Tianlong Square and South Gate in the center of Chaoge City, and Chen Tianye's planned route was to exit the south gate of the academy, walk about 50 miles east to enter the south gate of Chaoge, and then go north along Nanlong Avenue.

Qingshi smiled and said, "You better come with me." Chen Tianye was wondering, but saw Qingshi wave his hand, and a small boat more than two feet long appeared out of thin air and floated gently into the water.

Chen Tianye was taken aback and said, "This is only equipped by senior elders of the academy, how can you kid have it?" ”

Qingshi had already jumped off the boat and said to Chen Tianye: "Are you coming?" Chen Tianye hurriedly jumped onto the boat.

The dinghy quickly headed east, and soon passed through the bridge hole of the city wall and entered Xiaolu Lake along the narrow waterway, Chen Tianye said: "I didn't expect it, you not only have a dinghy, but you really have a pass, do you know?" You can't cross the waterway of the city wall without a pass, and you can't enter the city, and there are terrible puppet guards in the lake below the bridge and hole in the wall. ”

"Can I not know?" Qingshi glanced at Chen Tianye, "You think I'm impatient." ”

"No, I see that you have this dinghy, so you naturally know that you have a pass," Chen Tianye scratched his head and said, "It's just that how can you have these?" ”

"Confidential!" Qingshi said, "You also have to keep it a secret for me, you know." You'll naturally find out later. ”

After saying that, Qingshi didn't continue the topic, and Chen Tianye had to give up with questions.

Qingshi drove the dinghy along the dense waterway of the school until it reached the main gate of the school, that is, the river behind the main gate where the entrance assessment was conducted, and then he went ashore with Chen Tianye.

Ignoring the surprised eyes of the students, Qingshi collected the dinghy, and the two of them went out of the gate towards the auction hall.

Less than twenty miles from the main gate of the academy, that is, the east gate, to the location of the auction hall, the two of them rented a two-person caravan drawn by a third-level spirit beast with five toes at the entrance of the academy, and arrived in less than two quarters of an hour.

After paying for the car and sending the driver away, Qingshi looked up and saw that in front of him was a tall and magnificent building with a huge arc roof, and the ground floor facing the street was a huge shopping mall.

The façade of this shopping mall is nearly 100 zhang wide, and the depth is more than 30 zhang, and all kinds of items in the mall can be said to be dazzling.

In the middle of the building, there is a nearly ten zhang wide eight open doors, and a long plaque is hung on the lintel, with the four big characters of Tianlong Chamber of Commerce written.

Entering the door was a large hall, about ten feet deep, and at the end of it was a wide staircase, at which seven or eight uniformed men were checking the tickets of the participants. From this staircase to the third floor, there is the auction hall.

The auction hall is huge, this is a huge arc-shaped space with a diameter of nearly 50 zhang, the ground is more than 20 zhang high from the arc-shaped dome, and there is a circle of circular transparent lighting windows at the top. It is surrounded by six levels of boxes, each with a hundred. There are no private rooms on the ground floor, but there are no less than 300 wide seats, which can be moved and freely combined, equipped with dozens of wide low tables for drinks, and all the seats and tables are around a large round table in the center.

Entering the hall, another beautiful woman in uniform immediately greeted her, glanced at the jade medallion in Chen Tianye's hand, and hurriedly led the two of them up a staircase to the second floor to the VIP box No. 2069.

There are about 10 square meters in the VIP box, and the decoration is luxurious and magnificent, and the seats are wide and comfortable.

Chen Tianye sat on the wide soft couch, beckoned Qingshi to sit down, and then introduced to Qingshi, saying that this was a special box left by the Chamber of Commerce to Master Mo Sihai, enjoying a discount of six or eight percent off the commission, and introduced the facilities here to Qingshi.

Press a button on the table to make a quotation here, and the sound will be transmitted to the host on the stage, and the host will naturally know which box is the quotation. Others can only see the quotation on the monitor and have no way of knowing which box is the quote.

As for the non-box seats under the stage, there is no such privacy treatment.

From the front of the box, the view was very good, and there were already hundreds of people sitting in the hall, including several students and elders wearing college uniforms.

The situation in the sixth-floor box is completely invisible, Qingshi knows that although his box is spacious and bright, it should be pitch black in the eyes of others, and he can't see or hear anything.

Chen Tianye couldn't hold back his addiction to alcohol, took out a delicate small wine jug and two glasses, and couldn't wait to taste the new wine.

Qingshi didn't accompany him to drink, but took out a set of tea sets to boil water to make tea, although the drinks provided by the Chamber of Commerce were good, but neither of them looked down on them.

Chen Tianye said: "You can also make tea?" I couldn't help but say that I grabbed the teacup of bluestone and took a sip.

"Good tea!" Chen Tianye praised it, but he couldn't say it. He threw down his teacup and went to drink his fire.

Qingshi had no choice but to splash the residual tea, wash the cup and pour it again.

After a while, the auction began, and a beautiful female voice sounded: Welcome everyone. Then a large disc rose from the bottom of the central round and carried up three people, a beautiful woman and two young men in uniform.

The beauty introduced herself as Zhu Yuanyuan of the Tianlong Chamber of Commerce, and immediately started the auction after saying a few polite words.

She took out a thing and said: "The first item we auctioned today is the three Inner Dan of the fifth-level spirit beast Chidi Tiger, the quality is high-grade, you can take a closer look, the reserve price is thirty top-grade spirit stones, and the price increase is not less than five each time." ”

Qingshi secretly wondered what it meant to take a closer look, from such a distance, no matter how good his eyesight was, he couldn't see the three walnut-sized Neidan, and it was unlikely that every guest would take a closer look.

At this time, Chen Tianye pressed a certain mechanism on the table, and a light and shadow similar to a holographic image rose in front of the table, which was the image of the three inner pills, although it was not as intuitive as holding it in his hand, but it could also be seen more clearly.

Qingshi was not interested in what spirit beast Neidan, but he was very interested in this imaging device, which was obviously a formation device, much more clever than the imaging device of his dormitory doorbell system, and immediately began to study it.

The auction of items was carried out one by one, and after more than an hour, the baby who did not let the two of them appear at the same time. Qingshi couldn't help but be a little bored, but Chen Tianye said that the things in front are generally ordinary, and this auction usually takes two or three days, and if you are bored, you can go out and come back and continue the auction.

If you are afraid that you will miss something good, you can only wait, but there are some valuable things that will be introduced in writing, and you will press the call bell to call a waiter and ask him to bring a copy of the important items of this auction.

After a while, the waiter brought a thin booklet, and Qingshi took it and looked at it, but it was an item introduction manual, with simple pictures and more detailed text introductions.

There are a total of 100 kinds of things introduced, bluestone looked at them one by one, but there are a lot of good things, one of the private spaceships is the finale lot, the introduction said that this spaceship is twelve zhang long, the speed can reach 500 miles per hour, can be carried by twenty people, with a shielding array can be invisible to a certain extent, but also can withstand the heavy attack of a million catties of power, and is also equipped with an energy cannon that can launch more than one million catties of destructive power, with a range of two thousand zhang.

Such a magic weapon naturally moved Qingshi, thinking that this spaceship can basically withstand the full force of the high-level monks of the Jindan Realm, and it can also launch the attack power of the high-level monks of the Jindan Realm by itself, which is really terrifying. Looking at the price, it was 500,000 high-grade spirit stones, and I couldn't help but gasp.

After reading the introduction of the items, Qingshi found that in fact, the prices of most items are not so exaggerated. In order to attract people, the auction does not put all the good things at the end, and some sought-after things appear on the field from time to time, causing a wave of price increases, and Qingshi slowly finds it interesting.

"Friends, please look at Lot 163 of this auction," there was a middle-aged male auctioneer on the field, and his voice was very good.

"This is a bottle of essence blood from the sixth-level spirit beast of the Heavenly Eagle Continent, such an item is extremely rare in our Tianlong Continent, the effect of this Yunji Fox essence blood is to increase people's spiritual power, and the specific extent to which it can be increased varies from person to person, but our Chamber of Commerce can guarantee that it is absolutely true and effective. Okay, one hundred drops of essence blood from the sixth-level spirit beast Yunji Fox of the Heavenly Eagle Continent, with a base price of three hundred high-grade spirit stones, and the price increase is not less than ten pieces each time, please bid. Okay, there you have it, someone has bid three hundred and ten, three hundred and twenty ......"

Spiritual power is very important, but the Tianlong Continent does not have a special practice of spiritual power, nor does it use spiritual power to defeat the enemy, so spiritual power can only be an auxiliary force in battle, so the monks of Tianlong Continent do not attach great importance to spiritual power.

But Qingshi is different, there are not only exercises for cultivating spiritual power in Yunlu, but also martial arts for using spiritual power to defeat the enemy, and the flying sword technique that Qingshi wants to have the most is a kind of martial art that combines spiritual power with Xuanjin Technique.

The use of spiritual power martial arts, naturally the stronger the spiritual power, the better, Qingshi's spiritual power far exceeds that of a cultivator at the level of a fellow practitioner, but he currently does not have the practice of cultivating spiritual power, so he is very interested in this Yunji fox blood that can increase people's spiritual power.

Qingshi pressed the quotation on the table, a small green light lit up, and Qingshi said, "Four hundred and fifty." This is also the first time the two have made bids on a lot. After the auctioneer quoted the price of four hundred and fifty, someone added it to four hundred and sixty, and Qingshi did not hesitate to add it to four hundred and seventy. Then, no one raised the price anymore.

The auctioneer announces the sale, and the auction of the next lot begins. Qingshi breathed a sigh of relief with satisfaction, but saw Chen Tianye glaring at him and said, "What are you buying this for?" It's not worth spending so many spirit stones, right? ”

"I think it's worth it," Aoshi replied with a smile.

"Loser!" Chen Tianye shook his head and muttered. Qingshi ignored him. After a while, a waiter brought the bottle of Yunji Fox's essence blood, and Qingshi paid for it.

The auction continued, and the two chatted about gossip while keeping an eye out for items they needed.

"Brother Amano," Qingshi asked, "I heard that Jiang Chenying, who is the number one on the Tianlong List, held a banquet for the freshmen of the new High Academy, what is the situation?" ”

"This, the tradition of the royal family," Chen Tianye said, "I also participated in it when I was admitted to the High Court a few years ago, but at that time, the first place on the Tianlong List was not Jiang Chenying but Jiang Chenliang, and he was Jiang Chenying after he left the academy." The royal family wants to win people's hearts. ”

"Jiang Chenying, Jiang Chenxiu, Jiang Chenliang?" Qingshi was puzzled, "They are all princes?" Are these royal children so powerful? ”

"Yes," Chen Tianye said, "If the royal family is not powerful, can it still rule the Heavenly Dragon Continent for thousands of years?" In fact, since the day the Tianlong List appeared, this first position has always been occupied by the children of the royal family. ”

"No one has ever been able to defeat them?" Qingshi asked.

"Yes, Shen Feiyun should be able to defeat Jiang Chenying, so I only serve him in this academy." Chen Tianye said, "But no one has ever done this, you should understand the truth." ”

"As soon as you say it, I naturally understand," Qingshi shook his head, "No one has ever dared to do this?" This is just a ranking list, and wouldn't that lose the meaning of its existence? ”

"It has always been like this," Chen Tianye shook his head and said, "The children of the royal family are also only the best who will come to the academy to practice, for thousands of years, all the children of the royal family who have been on the first place in the Tianlong list will not have a lower title than the county king in the future, and all the emperors of the Tianlong Empire have been the first in the Tianlong list, so no family dares to let their children overtake the royal family to occupy the first place on the Tianlong list, this is the awe of the royal family, for fear of causing trouble for themselves." However, the strength of the children of the royal family is indeed very strong, every Tianlong list number one definitely has this strength, I have not studied with Jiang Chenying, but the third Jiang Chenxiu We have a fight, I am not as good as him, according to him, he can't take a hundred moves in Jiang Chenying's hands. ”

"That's it!" Qingshi nodded and said, "The royal family must have its own secret method, right?" ”

"This is natural," Chen Tianye said, "There is a high chance that the people of the royal family will awaken the thunder attribute true qi, they have a monopoly on the thunder attribute martial arts of the entire continent, and the people do not allow thunder attribute martial arts and weapons to appear, this is one of their magic weapons to dominate the world." ”

Qingshi suddenly realized in his heart, no wonder he couldn't find a thunder attribute martial art from the first to the sixth floor of the Hidden Scripture Pavilion, so that's the case.

It seems that the fact that he has the true qi of the thunder attribute must not be easily revealed. Of course, trying to keep one's attributes, true qi and unique martial arts as secret as possible is something that every monk understands.

The people of the Tianlong Continent do not have thunder attribute martial arts and weapons, but Yunlu does, Qingshi sneered in his heart, and he also had two more disgusts for the royal family.

After talking about the royal family, Chen Tianye talked about the Duan family and the Shen family, these two families have been friends for generations, and they have always been one of the most powerful forces in the Tianlong Empire, but there is a reason for the friendship between the two families.

The bloodline inherited by the Duan family is easy to awaken the yang attribute true qi, also known as the light true qi, while the Shen family is easy to awaken the yin attribute true qi, that is, the dark true qi.

In the battle, the person with the light true qi and the person with the dark true qi cooperated, and the combat power generated by the two attribute martial arts increased exponentially, so the friendship between the two families can also be said to be a match made in heaven.

The two families also often choose to marry their children, and it is said that it is possible to give birth to a child who has both light and dark true qi, and that is the genius of geniuses.

The auction did not rest, several auctioneers took shifts, and the two chatted and watched the auction, until midnight, Chen Tianye spent three hundred and twenty high-grade spirit stones to buy a piece of Xuanyin Essence Gold, which was the biggest purpose of his participation in the auction this time.

The waiter sent the lot, Chen Tianye handed over the spirit stone and took the pure gold, and couldn't help but smile and said: "Great, I finally bought the Xuanyin Pure Gold, and I turned around and asked Zhong Fat Man to give me the Tianyuan Sword that was integrated into me, and the power will increase by at least three percent, hahaha." ”

"Fat Zhong?" Qingshi was stunned for a moment and asked, "Which Zhong is fat, Zhong Buli?" ”

"Zhong will not give up!" Chen Tianye pursed his lips and said, "Zhong Buli is your alchemist, can he still refine the weapon?" Really. Don't you know? Vice President of the Instrument Daoist Academy, Zhong is not far from his brother. ”

Qingshi knew that Zhong Bu would not give up, but he had never seen it, so he couldn't help asking: "What, he is also very fat, also called Zhong Fatty?" ”

Chen Tianye smiled and said, "Don't you know that this pair of living treasures are twins?" Zhong Buqi is a brother, I generally call him Zhong Da Fat, and Zhong Buli is generally called Zhong Er Fat. Sometimes it's not clear that it's just called Zhong Fatzi. ”

"You just call it that?" Qingshi Qi said, "Brag again, you, we are all called this behind our backs, and we can't call the elder in person." ”

"That's what I call it!" Chen Tianye cocked his beard up and down proudly, "Do you know why?" ”

"They owe you a lot of money?"

"Cut~ To tell you the truth, I took some pills from Er Fat last time, and I still have a hundred high-grade spirit stones for him!"

"So you owe them a lot of money?"

"Vulgar!" Chen Tianye said, "Let me tell you the truth, these two fat men are my senior brothers." ”

"Are they your senior brothers?" Qingshi opened his mouth wide, "They are also Dean Mo's disciples?" ”

"That's not it," Chen Tianye said with a smile, "How can my master accept them as disciples, they are the disciples of my uncle Gui Huadong." ”

"Ahh Bluestone was really shocked. This fat brother Zhong turned out to be Gui Huadong's disciple, and if you think about it carefully, only a nervous master like Gui Huadong would accept such a nervous apprentice.

It's just that Zhong Fatzi suddenly became his nephew, and Qingshi couldn't help but almost laugh.
