Chapter 109: Private Auction
"In Xia Wuyun, Xi is the leader of Qingyun Academy this time, which is polite. Just now, I stopped Cao Yu from coming to help on the deck, and I asked Brother Shen for forgiveness. The young man in white bowed.
"Brother Wu thought too much, how could Shen Lang blame Brother Wu for the situation at that time." Shen Lang clenched his fists and smiled.
He also recognized this person, it was the scholar who grabbed Cao Yu when he and the three of them were in action.
Thirty-six people came to Qingyun Academy this time, and they had to rely on Li Dongze of the Martial Temple to take care of them in the secret realm of Yunshan, since Wu Yun was the leader of Qingyun Academy, he naturally had to consider the students of the entire academy, and he would never have a conflict with Li Dongze at that time.
Shen Lang understood Wu Yun's difficulties very well, so naturally he would not blame him.
Wu Yun didn't bother about this matter, and said, "Where are Brother Shen and Miss Fang Fei going?" β
Shen Lang glanced at Fang Fei and said, "We heard that there are some rare treasures for sale in this Spirit Treasure Pavilion, so come and have a long look." β
Cao Yu smiled mysteriously on the side and said, "Then Brother Shen and Miss Fang Fei are here right, there is a private auction on the fourth floor today." β
Shen Lang was stunned and said, "This ship has just arrived in Qingyun Mansion to hold an auction?" Don't you have to wait for the Cloud Mountain Secret Realm to follow? β
Wu Yun said with a smile: "Brother Shen, this is what you don't know, the flying boat of the Jiyun Society spans the world of the human race, and every place where it goes, it will go to the local secret realm and famous mountains, and sell treasures along the way and buy them at the same time, and I have been to several secret realms before I arrived at our Qingyun Mansion." β
Shen Lang was a little surprised, but soon understood.
In fact, this is similar to ordinary business, it is impossible for Qingyun Mansion to have all kinds of treasures, and if you pull some rare items from elsewhere, you may be able to sell them for a good price.
However, he suddenly reacted: "Since it's a private auction, can we go in?" β
Wu Yun glanced at Cao Yu, and Cao Yu did not delay, and took out a token from his arms, with the word "Ji" written on it.
"This is ......," Shen Lang wondered.
Cao Yu's face was full of sorrow, and Wu Yun said with a smile on the side: "Brother Shen, do you know what is the surname of the manager of the Jiyun Society in my Dongyun Kingdom Qingyun Mansion?" β
Shen Lang and Fang Fei were both stunned, and the two looked at each other and said in unison: "Cao?!" β
The four of them walked to the fourth floor together, and after knowing Cao Yu's identity, Fang Fei was fine, but Shen Lang had a strange look on his face. He never imagined that this little fat man's family turned out to be from the Jiyun Society.
Cao Yu smiled and said: "Brother Shen, don't envy me, if you really want to compare with you, my Cao Yu is a fart!" You are a figure valued by the Temple of Literature, don't say that my Lao Tzu is just the manager of Qingyun Mansion, even if he is the branch president of Dongyun Kingdom, it is nothing in front of you. β
Although this is a sycophant, it does sound useful.
Shen Lang couldn't help but laugh and scolded: "If I have the opportunity to meet your father, I will definitely convey my original words." β
Cao Yu suddenly shuddered, and hurriedly said, "Brother Shen spare his life!" β
The four of them laughed and went to the fourth floor.
This is different from the lower three floors, the lower three floors are similar to those big shopping malls that Shen Lang had seen in his previous life, each shop has its own faΓ§ade, selling all kinds of things.
When you go up to the fourth floor, all you see is a large door.
There were two martial artists standing at the door, and when Shen Lang walked beside them, he could only vaguely feel a trace of qi and blood fluctuations. This means that the power of their qi and blood has been condensed into the bones, which is clearly the characteristic of the Seven Grades of Martial Dao.
This made him secretly surprised, he didn't expect that these two gatekeepers actually had the realm of martial arts seven grades.
Cao Yu handed over the sign, and the two of them checked it, nodded slightly, and let the four of them enter the door.
After entering the door, there is a long narrow hallway, and there are many small rooms on the inside. It's just that when you look at it from the outside, you can't see what it looks like inside, and even if you release your thoughts, you can't sense anything.
"For the safety of the people participating in the auction, there is the blessing of the Immortal Dao Formation, unless it is the strength of the three-grade powerhouse, it cannot be seen through." Cao Yu explained.
He was familiar with the place, and led the three of them to a room quickly.
Touch the token to the door, and the door immediately turns into a water screen.
This scene made Fang Fei's eyes look different, she was also well-informed in Tao'an, but this was the first time she had seen this kind of scene.
Passing through the water wave screen, Cao Yu just touched the token again, and the gate returned to its original state.
This amazed several people.
This is obviously a single room, and when you look down from the window, you can see that there is a small circular hall below. However, the seats in the venue were all empty, and it seemed that it was a private auction, and all the people who came were people with room tokens.
Soon, I saw an old man walking to the high platform in the center of the venue.
He clasped his fists around and saluted, "Today is the third auction of Qingyun Mansion, thank you for taking the time to participate." The old man didn't say much, so he directly invited the first auction item. β
After saying that, he beckoned downward, and immediately a woman in a green dress walked up with a box in her hand.
As soon as the box was opened, a bloody light rose into the sky.
Beneath the bloody light, it turned out to be something like an antler.
"What is this?" Shen Langqi said.
He has not been in this world for a long time, and almost all the books he reads are Confucian and Taoist classics, and his understanding of various spiritual objects may not be as good as Fang Fei around him.
Wu Yun smiled: "It seems to be the horns of a red-blooded deer." He said and looked at Cao Yu.
Cao Yu nodded and said, "Senior Brother Wu's good vision is the red-blooded antlers. β
Sure enough, the old man below introduced: "This thing is a red-blooded antler harvested near Heishuitan, and the master has sent someone to identify it, and this red-blooded deer has a lifespan of at least five hundred years. β
As soon as these words came out, a low shout suddenly sounded around.
Shen Lang listened intently and found that the sound seemed to come from all directions, and it was impossible to tell which rooms were occupied by the sound. And the voice seemed to be blurred by the formation, and only human voices could be heard, but even men and women couldn't be distinguished.
"The consignment is a six-rank monk, as for the way he cultivates, the old man can't reveal it, but this monk has designated barter. If you are interested, you can quote. β
As soon as these words came out, the surrounding noise suddenly fell silent.
After a moment, someone said, "What type of item can you specify?" β
The old man said, "No, just say that the value is not less than this thing." β
Soon, someone started quoting.
"A six-grade ghost spirit fruit."
"Two taels away from the fire gold crystal."
β¦β¦
Shen Lang was full of question marks when he heard it, he hadn't even heard of the names of these treasures.
Cao Yu saw Shen Lang's puzzled appearance, and said with a smile: "Brother Shen, although the sage book is good, you can't just read the sage book!" β
Wu Yun glared at him angrily and said, "Brother Shen still needs you to teach?" Besides, if I can really read the sage books to the point of Brother Shen, I'd rather not know about the other mess! β
Cao Yuhe smiled: "I'll just talk about it." β
Shen Lang looked at the two with a smile, it seemed that Cao Yu was not bad on the mountain, he was the leader of this Qingyun Academy, and he had a very good relationship with him.
Soon, the red-blooded antlers were exchanged.
After that, a few more things were traded, but Shen Lang didn't know it, and he could only judge from the power fluctuations that came out of it which spiritual object it was on the cultivation path.
After nearly an hour, the old man said, "The last thing to be auctioned is a Confucian and Taoist treasure." β
There was a murmur of discussion all around.
Not everyone needs Confucian and Taoist treasures, but you must know that this human race is dominated by Confucianism and Taoism, and there are also the most Confucian and Taoist monks. Therefore, the same grade of Confucian and Taoist treasures are much more precious than others.
I saw a maid in a pink dress walking up with a box.
Shen Lang, who didn't care much about it, stood up abruptly the moment the box opened.
"The next auction is a Confucianism, Taoism, and Wenxin fruit."
The old man said in a deep voice.
What Wen Xinguo means to Confucian and Taoist monks, there is naturally no need to say much.
Shen Lang was able to kill the ghoul on the bank of the Lanjiang River, and the biggest barrier was not the original poem, but the Lotus Blossom Divine Power that came with the Wenxin Fruit.
Without this supernatural power, even if he was the original creator, even if he had the blessing of the talent of the Misty World, he would not have been able to summon a ghost dragonfly in that situation.
Now there are ten small worlds in the Wen Palace, but the only one that really has the blessing of Wenxin is the small pond world where the ghost dragonfly is located.
"How do I exchange this?"
Before Shen Lang could speak, someone had already asked.
The old man said slowly: "This is a medium-grade Wenxin fruit. Although it is a medium grade, you also know that as long as it is constantly nourished with talent, it will be able to advance to the top grade or even the best in the future. β
As soon as these words came out, a chuckle suddenly sounded around.
"Elder Xu, needless to say, how can it be so easy to have a superb Wenxin? It is already a great blessing to be promoted to the top grade. β
Xu Lao smiled slightly, and said: "Who can say this kind of thing clearly, just like the Liao family in Qingyun Mansion, which has been silent for hundreds of years, who would have thought that Mr. Ziyu would be born out of thin air, and gave them a piece of Mingzhou poetry." In the future, the Liao family will have Mingzhou poetry and literature to suppress the literary movement, and a hundred years later, maybe there will be high-quality literati again. β
As soon as these words came out, the venue suddenly became lively.
The people who can come to this private auction today are all people with heads and faces, and the most unfortunate ones are also rookies from various families. For the name of Shen Lang, I have more or less heard of it.
After all, nine poems in Mingzhou, two Zhenguo, plus one Heavenly Dao Holy Text, this is only two or three months, such an achievement is really terrifying.
"What did Mr. Xu say, but that "Mingxin Lake Presents Sister Dongxue"?"
As soon as these words came out, there was a burst of laughter around. Even on Old Xu's thin face, he couldn't help but squeeze out a smile.
Shen Lang also blushed, and the three people on the side also looked at him with strange expressions.
I didn't think it was when I took the name, but I realized it later, compared to the "drunk and don't know that the sky is in the water, and the boat is full of dreams and the galaxy", this name is really too contrasting.
"That Mr. Ziyu can also be regarded as a romantic character, Mingzhou poetry and poetry...... Hey, hey, it's a strange story through the ages! β
I don't know who said it, and there was another burst of laughter in the venue.
Shen Lang couldn't help but roll his eyes, and said that it would be over once, is this still a whip corpse?
"Maybe Mr. Ziyu himself doesn't care much about Mingzhou's work, I heard that in order to compete with Lin Xianren's nephew Lin Ran for two oirans, he even wrote Zhenguo's work "The Story of Peach Blossom Nunnery"."
I don't know who said it, and the surroundings suddenly fell silent.
If it's just a "Mingxin Lake Gift to Sister Dongxue", then even if it is a work of Mingzhou, it has to be reduced to a joke. But if you add a "Peach Blossom Anitation" at the level of Zhenguo later, the meaning of the representation will be completely different.
Just like the one said just now, the poetry of Mingzhou, which is a treasure in the eyes of us, may be nothing more than that in the eyes of Mr. Ziyu.
At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded.
"That Shen Lang is arrogant and insults the sage in public, no matter how talented he is, he is always an ant if he is not good enough."
Because of the cover of the formation, no one could hear where the voice was coming from, and they couldn't even tell whether it was a man or a woman.
"Otherwise, I heard that just now, Shen Lang was fighting with a few martial artists outside, his strength is unmatched, and he is afraid that no one is his opponent among the nine grades."
Someone in the audience immediately retorted.
"How's that going? Even if the Temple of Literature forbade high-level monks to attack low-rank, he Shen Lang would always have a time to advance. If the ninth rank is invincible, then wait for him to go up to the eighth rank, and if the eighth rank is still invincible, then wait for him to be promoted to the seventh rank. I don't believe it, a newly advanced Confucian and Taoist monk can defeat a master of the same grade with profound cultivation! β
"Shut up! Who are you who dare to assassinate my Confucianism and Taoism star?! β
Listening to the meaning of this speech, there are obviously Confucian masters among the people who participated in the auction. And that person was very dissatisfied with this pair of people who were very hostile to Shen Lang.
But after this reprimand, no one spoke anymore, and the whole auction hall fell silent again.
Xu Lao coughed lightly twice and said, "Everyone, let's go back to the auction." The auction here is a medium-grade Wenxin fruit, because it has not been absorbed, so it is impossible to see whether it contains supernatural powers for the time being. β
"It's still bartering, but the other party pointed out that he wanted a ghost treasure."
As soon as these words came out, there was a burst of whispered discussion around him.
The ghost path is different from the martial arts and Confucianism, and most of the people who practice the ghost path are in inaccessible places, so although the ghost path is one of the eight paths to heaven, there are very few people who want to cultivate.
On weekdays, it is also extremely difficult to exchange general ghost items, and most people will choose to hand them over directly to the Temple of Literature in exchange for meritorious service, and then exchange the meritorious service for the items they need.
Normally, no one would carry a ghost treasure with them at all.
But the Wen Xinguo in front of him was extremely tempting, and the voices in the venue were continuous, and they seemed to be discussing something in a low voice.
"Can the exchange item be limited by grade and system?"
Xu Lao shook his head and said, "No, just say that it is a ghost treasure that is not lower than the medium-grade Wenxin Fruit." β
As soon as these words came out, the surrounding discussion suddenly decreased by half.
A ghost path item that is not inferior to Wen Xinguo?
You must know that Wenxin Fruit is a treasure of Confucianism and Taoism, and this time the students of Qingyun Academy went to the secret realm of Yunshan Mountain, and their biggest purpose was to obtain Wenxin Fruit.
It is very difficult to find a ghost treasure that is not inferior to the middle grade Wen Xin Fruit!
At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded in the auction hall.
"Is it possible to have the original manuscript of the ghost road poem?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned.
Ghost road article?
These people who participated in the auction today did not dare to say how high their cultivation was, but they had absolutely extensive knowledge. I followed the flying boat all the way, and I don't know how many countries I passed through and how many treasures I saw.
But I was stunned that I had never heard of ghost poetry.
"Whose descendants are laughing, how can there be any ghost poetry in the world?"
