Chapter 289: Tianchi Fang Auction

Three days later......

The auction of Tianchifang is about to be held as scheduled.

This remote place holds an auction once a month, and each time the finale is always a high-quality artifact or an item of equivalent value, so it attracts many monks.

More than twenty monks set off from the Tianchi Inn and headed in the direction of the auction. They all heard the news of the auction in Tianchifang in advance, because it is said that the auction items here are of good quality.

Li Shuidao knew that his position in the market was not advantageous, so he could only work the auction. Therefore, the items at each auction have been carefully designed by him and are absolutely fine.

The items in this auction are mainly from Li Tianjue, a raider in the South China Sea who has accumulated a lot of good things over the years. It's hard to get rid of in the South China Sea, and this remote auction is just the right place to go.

After several auctions, the items on display were appreciated, and the reputation gradually rose, attracting many people to come and watch.

In addition to the twenty or so monks who arrived in advance, there were also twenty or thirty second-order monks from the Rong Spirit Realm who rushed over on the day of the auction. This put forward extremely high requirements for the security work of Tianchi Fang, because forty or fifty Rong Ling Realm monks could completely turn Tianchi Fang upside down.

Xia Ruoxue is now protected by the Five Poison Sect Ding family, and even if she makes a move, it won't be too much of a problem.

Moreover, Xia Ruoxue made a move to protect the interests of Tianchi Fang, and the Lan family of the Five Poisons Sect would also take action to defend it.

With the endorsement of the Lan family and the Ding family at the same time, if someone dares to make trouble, Xia Ruoxue only needs to make a move, and there is no need to worry about the consequences.

In addition, Li Shuidao arranged the formation in advance, and the safety of the auction was generally no problem. Moreover, everyone knew that Tianchifang was the industry of the Five Poisons Sect in the final analysis, so no one dared to make trouble easily......

Ma Tiangang, wearing a silver mask, made his way through the crowd and entered the auction hall of Tianchifang.

The auction hall was a large circular space, spanning twenty or thirty feet, large enough to seat hundreds of people, but at this time there were only forty or fifty people at full capacity.

In this wide space, there is not a single pillar, and generally this wide circular space can only be forged by underground excavation, and this auction hall is absolutely above the ground.

At the auction venue, a nun armed with a ghost-faced broadsword led a group of black-clothed monks to maintain order.

Although these monks only cultivated in the psychic realm, the guests did not despise them and completely obeyed their commands.

After all, they represent the Five Poison Sect, and even Ma Tiangang will consciously safeguard the interests of the Five Poison Sect.

In the center of the auction is a raised platform with only a gong and a mahogany table, and nothing else.

Of the forty or fifty monks who participated in the auction, only half wore masks, the rest did not.

Most of the people who wear masks are minor cultivators in the psychic realm, and their cultivation is low and cautious by nature, which is understandable.

Ma Tiangang wore the mask because he had a holiday with Li Shuidao, the owner of the place, and he had to do so in order to hide his identity.

He looked around and saw many familiar faces. The monks were communicating, some talking about the items that were about to be auctioned, and some about the treasures that had appeared in the previous auctions.

"Don't look at this remote place, there was a yin and yang elixir in the last auction, I don't know if there is another one this time."

"I also heard that there is a Yin and Yang Elixir here, so I made a special trip to participate."

"Every auction here has at least one high-grade ritual finale, and the auctions here are of good quality. However, they never announce the auction items in advance, and like to keep the suspense up. ”

"If you don't want to miss every auction, you can only rent a cave house here to live permanently."

"There are no caves to rent here, either to stay at a guest house or to buy a house. His house here often costs three thousand spirit stones, which is too expensive. ”

"For those who are casual cultivators, this is a home."

"Humph! What family wants 3,000 spirit stones? ”

"Three thousand spirit stones are three hundred and sixty thousand jade money, which can be used to live in the inn for 12,000 days, that is, more than 30 years, there are people to serve every day for more than 30 years, put the bath water every night, and prepare meals for you, and live for 30 years, which is not ten thousand times better than buying a house."

"This Taoist friend is really good at arithmetic, listening to you say this, it is really stupid to buy a house here."

"I can't say that, it's really too expensive to sell here, it's just a blind price, according to me, three hundred spirit stones are suitable."

"But the owners here don't seem to be willing to sell at a lower price."

"He deserves it!"

Ma Tiangang listened to the surrounding discussions, smiled, found a front position, and quietly waited for the auction to start.

About the time to wait for a stick of incense......

The girl with the big knife shouted loudly: "The Tianchifang auction has officially begun, and the door is closed!" ”

The guards closed the heavy bronze door together.

At the same time, an old man dressed in an ornate robe walked up to the central round platform. He has gray hair and a kind face, and he is Li Haoxuan, who is presiding over the auction.

Li Haoxuan smiled and saluted everyone, and his voice resounded throughout the hall: "Fellow Daoists, my surname is Li Haoxuan, and I am invited to preside over this auction. Thank you all for coming and let's witness this wonderful auction together. ”

His voice is gentle and solemn, making people feel kind and trusting.

"In this auction, we will present ten precious lots. The rules of the auction are simple, I will introduce the lots in turn and call out a starting price. You can use spirit stones to bid on the auction, and if you don't have enough spirit stones, you can also exchange them for other items of equivalent value. ”

Li Haoxuan's eyes swept over the people present, and continued: "After the auction, in order to ensure the safety of everyone, the monk who has spent the most spirit stones will leave the small door first, and after twenty breaths, the monk who spends the second number of spirit stones...... And so on, and in the end, everyone leaves through the bronze gate. ”

The rules of this auction were recognized by everyone, and everyone nodded their heads in understanding.

"Alright, let's get down to business, let's move on to the first lot." Li Haoxuan raised his hand and pointed at it, and a flash of inspiration flashed on the stage, and a jade pendant with golden light appeared.

"Fellow Daoists, this is a medium-grade magic weapon golden jade pendant, which can inspire a golden golden shield and has a strong defensive power. The starting price is two hundred spirit stones, and each increase is not less than fifty spirit stones. Daoists can start bidding. ”

Everyone's eyes flashed and they began to compete for the price.

"Two hundred!" A monk shouted.

"Two hundred and five."

"Three hundred!"

……

"Five hundred."

The price of the first item is quite fierce, although it is a medium-grade magic weapon, but it is a defensive type, which is relatively rare.

Ma Tiangang estimated that this item was worth a maximum of seven hundred spirit stones.

The final price was six hundred and fifty.

"Fellow Daoists, the golden light jade is six hundred and fifty spirit stones, is there anything higher?" Li Haoxuan asked loudly.

Even after asking three times, no one in the auction hall responded.

Li Haoxuan held a golden hammer and struck the gong fiercely, and the gong sounded, which means that there is no need to bid for this lot.

"Congratulations to this fellow Daoist, the Golden Light Jade Pendant was sold for six hundred and fifty spirit stones." Li Haoxuanwei

A monk stood up, walked up to the stage, took out two storage bags, and poured out a large number of spirit stones.

Li Haoxuan counted in public, no more, no less, just six hundred and fifty spirit stones.

The monk took the golden jade pendant and showed it to the crowd.

Everyone applauded and congratulated this lucky fellow Daoist.

The spirit stone on the mahogany table was wrapped in spiritual light, and then disappeared into thin air.

"Fellow Daoists, the next is the second lot." Li Haoxuan raised his hand and pointed at it, and a flash of inspiration flashed on the stage, and a palm-sized conch appeared, exuding the breath of water attributes.

"This is a piece of jade conch, a precious refining material from the South China Sea. It contains the power of the ocean and can be used to refine musical instruments. The starting price is 300 spirit stones, and the price increase is not less than 50 spirit stones each time. Daoists can start bidding. ”

There were no bids for half a day......

The second lot is only a refining material, not a finished product.

Although this thing can refine a special medium-grade magic weapon, after all, it is only a material, and the monks present are not refiners, so they are naturally not interested in it.

Ma Tiangang was just an accident, and he was able to see the treasures of the South China Sea in the auction market of Montenegro.

"Oh...... Isn't this treasure of any interest? That's going to be a run-of-sale. Li Haoxuan was about to ring the gong with the golden hammer.

"Three hundred spirit stones." A woman's voice resounded through the hall.

Ma Tiangang followed the voice and found that it was a woman wearing black silk and a shawl with black hair, she was wearing a pitch-black mask, the mask could block the divine sense, but judging from her skin and figure, she was definitely a beauty.

"Fellow Daoists, the Jade Conch Three Hundred Spirit Stones, is there any price increase?"

Li Haoxuan shouted the price three times, but no one raised the price, so he sounded the gong.

As the gong sounded, Li Haoxuan said loudly: "Congratulations to this fellow Daoist for obtaining the Jade Conch, the spiritual material of the refining weapon. ”

The woman stood up, walked to the high platform, handed over three hundred spirit stones, and obtained the jade conch.

It was Xia Ruoxue who bought the jade conch.

The jade conch is something that Lao Wang Ba Li Tianjue put on the auction house to sell, although Li Shuidao can also rely on his status in the Li family to directly ignore this thing, but there is no need.

Auctioning it directly through the auction can not only add a lot and attract more popularity, but also convince Lao Wang Ba that his so-called good things are only worth so many spirit stones.

This piece of jade conch Li Shuidao has long taken a fancy to it and wants to refine it into a magic weapon with alchemy.

Now that Li Shuidao's alchemy has been guided by Ding Yufeng, it can be said that he has improved by leaps and bounds.

Naturally, he would not let go of this kind of delicate refining material, but that kind of deep-sea iron, Li Shuidao was not interested, unless he refined the red lotus and black fire in the future, and had a powerful heaven and earth fire, he would consider getting involved in refining alchemy.

Ask for a monthly pass, and at the end of the month, you have to make up 1,000 monthly tickets for a lottery.
