Chapter 149: Returning with a full load

Different grades of Lingjing ore are naturally different in terms of price, if calculated according to the price of Wei Guotongbao, the price of ordinary Lingjing ore (the content of the spirit body is 7 to 10 percent) is currently at the level of four ingots per catty and 312 yuan.

Although the king of crystals is placed on the golden counter, the current price of rising and higher prices has effectively exceeded its normal price.

The auction of the King of Crystals is a gimmick, but the scarcity is expensive, and the people who participate in chasing this gimmick still enjoy it.

"Six hundred and thirty ingots!" After getting Shi Cheng's consent, Chen Zhu shouted a new offer to the venue.

"Guest No. 5 quoted six hundred and thirty, is there any other offer?"

"Six hundred and forty!"

"Guest No. 2 offers six hundred and forty!"

Shi Cheng and the three of them glanced at each other, and the other VIPs who had not given an offer in the first game for a long time finally began to make a move.

"Is it a guest in room two, but I don't know who is sitting inside?" Shi Chengxin said secretly.

"Elder Chen, carry some more, we will report six hundred and eighty!"

"Six hundred and eighty ingots!"

"Six hundred and eighty ingots for guest five!"

Most of the ordinary guests on the second floor died down, and after another round of competition with the guests in room two, Shi Cheng still got this crystal king at the price of seven hundred and fifteen ingots.

Wu Neng looked at Shi Cheng's black face that was almost bleeding ink, and he was very unhappy in his heart, "I'm really sorry, old Shi, let you break the bank." ”

Shi Cheng reluctantly smiled and came out, "It's okay, it's not that we don't have the means to make money, and we will come back when our daughter is gone." ”

For the trio, an important goal of participating in the auction today has been achieved, and for the future auction items, Shi Cheng's current mind is that I will take a look, and if I feel that it is necessary to bid, I will talk about it.

The next auction item was a Xuantie Treasure Knife that had been tempered with the blood of a great demon with two hundred years of Taoism, Shi Cheng did not participate in the bidding, and this treasure knife was finally auctioned off by a distinguished guest in Room 7.

The third auction item is a spiritual artifact from a large island in the South Ice Sea in the south of the Southern Wilderness, called Lingyuan Biteng, which is said to have been shocked when the expedition team of the Western Desert Kingdom first saw this rattan. In the midst of the ice and snow, only this green vine grows vigorously, as if bathed in the spring breeze.

Luo Ying opened the glass cover and began to introduce this strange vine to everyone.

"This is the Lingyuan Blue Vine, which has been identified by professionals, and its cause is related to a fire spirit leyline underground, which is hidden deep underground, and the aura contained in it overflows the ground through a small crack, nourishing a small piece of the cliff. This vine is suspected to be an ancient plant, which was nourished by the aura and was able to sprout and grow, and finally survived in the ice and snow. It is precisely because of the continuous nourishment of the aura that the spirituality and flexibility of the Lingyuan Bi Vine far surpass that of most plant-based spiritual materials. For all of you, this green vine is an excellent spiritual martial material, even if you don't plan to use this thing to forge a spiritual treasure, the rich spiritual power contained in it is also a great help for cultivation. ”

"Old Shi ......," Wu Neng chuckled dryly twice, "I just looked at it from a distance, and this thing is a good material." ”

Shi Cheng also knew that Wu Neng had been worrying about the materials for the new weapon recently, and although the materials that Wu Neng had found in the Huibao Pavilion store last time were of good quality, they still lacked that kind of first-class spiritual materials.

Shi Cheng nodded and said, "I'll do my best." ”

"Guest No. 5 offers five hundred ingots!" After Chen Zhu finished quoting the price, the ordinary guests in the venue on the second floor were a lot quieter.

"Who is sitting in room five, so arrogant." Some people muttered in their hearts.

"Guest No. 2 offers five hundred and fifty!"

Shi Cheng sighed, looked at his obviously emaciated wallet, and the remaining cash in it was only five hundred and eighty ingots, and he couldn't help but shake his head at Wu Neng helplessly.

"Guest No. 4 offers five hundred and sixty!"

"Guest No. 2 offers five hundred and seventy!"

Guest No. 2 seemed to be determined to win the Lingyuan Blue Vine, and in the end he did win the auction, and after several rounds of bidding with several VIP competitors, the second guest finally auctioned the Lingyuan Blue Vine from the South Ice Sea for 610 ingots.

"The next auction item is a spiritual treasure called the Cold Jade Ring." After a short break, a new counter was pushed onto the stage by the deacon of the Hui Bao Pavilion.

"This thing was accidentally discovered by an inner court disciple of the Flying Sand Sword Sect of the Western Desert Country in the ruins of the Divine Dynasty in a small forbidden area on the Lugong Peninsula, and after being identified by our Huibao Pavilion, it has been confirmed that it has the following functions."

Luo Ying introduced with a smile: "Under the condition of being urged by special means, the entire ring of the cold jade ring will become extremely cold, just like the extreme north in the cold winter season, but everything within a radius of a hundred zhang centered on the cold jade ring will be shrouded in high temperatures that can smelt the ore. As for safety, please rest assured that the urging method identified by my Huibao Pavilion can fully ensure the personal safety of users. The specific urging method has been written down in a booklet, and will be handed over to the guests who have received this spiritual treasure separately after the end of this auction. Well, the starting price for this auction is 350 ingots, and the auction is officially open! ”

"What's the use of this thing, I don't feel like I can use it to assist in cultivation."

"Maybe someone who takes the path of refining the body can use it?"

"Pull it down, who below the grandmaster can withstand the high temperature that can smelt all the ore?"

"Doesn't it mean that the embassy of the Abyssal Stream Country has already spoken, and it is bound to win this? Let's just see, it's not like we're going to be able to fight anyway. ”

"Could it be that Yuanliu City mainly uses this thing for practice?"

"Who knows?"

"I don't know which private room on the third floor the people from Abyssal City are sitting in?"

There was a whisper from the audience, but since the cold jade ring was of little use to most of the monks, there were not as many people participating in the bidding as in the first session.

After the guests quoted a few rounds of prices, an unquestionable voice came from Room No. 1, "Six hundred ingots!" ”

This offer was much higher than the previous one, and everyone was shocked, and looked at the private room, and a few clever people had roughly guessed the origin of the guests inside.

"Customer No. 1 quoted 600 ingots, is there any other offer?"

Shi Cheng thought about it in his heart, and also understood the origin of the guests in Room 1.

"Sure enough, the people of the Yuanliu Kingdom are there, but also, if there are no royal relatives in the auction hall, then they are undoubtedly the highest-ranking guests here." Shi Cheng thought secretly, "I haven't seen them quote prices for other auction items before, it seems that it is really as Xu Jincheng said, they are specifically here for this cold jade ring." ”

After asking three times, the wooden hammer in Luo Ying's hand fell.

The last auction item was a thousand-year-old water spirit wood found on an island in the secret sea, looking at Wu Neng's longing eyes looking outside the curtain, coupled with the consideration of the unique role of the mechanism, Shi Cheng finally reluctantly participated in the bidding.

With Chen Zhu's help, Shi Cheng and the three of them finally obtained this thousand-year-old water spirit wood at the price of six hundred and twenty ingots.

"Old Shi, Elder Chen, thank you very much." Wu Neng's heart was very unhappy, "Lao Shi, don't worry, I will definitely surprise you as soon as possible with what I got today!" ”

"Thank you Elder Chen for this round of bidding." Shi Cheng thanked Chen Zhu, "I, Shi Cheng, am not a person who likes to owe others things, please take these things away, they should be worth the money you just made up for us." ”

After speaking, Shi Cheng took out two pills wrapped in Dan paper from the storage bag.

"This blue elixir wrapped in blue paper is used for healing wounds, and the effect on internal injuries is particularly significant, and the main ingredients are ice grass, firefly sacs and incense stones. The red one can be used to suppress the phenomenon of going crazy during cultivation, and the main ingredients are bamboo butterflies and grass ash. ”

Chen Zhu took the two pills, and as soon as the pills were in his hands, he felt the roundness on the surface of the pills through the pill paper, and when he got closer, he smelled the fragrance of the pills. Although Chen Zhu was not an expert in alchemy, as an elder of Jiyu Village, he still knew very well that the value of these two pills was probably far greater than the dozens of ingots he had just paid for Shi Cheng.

"What, Elder Chen can't believe in the pills below?" Shi Cheng said with a smile.

"It's not like that, it's just that these two pills look very precious, I'm afraid ......"

Shi Cheng could see what Chen Zhu was going to say, he waved his hand and said, "The extra should be regarded as a reward for Elder Chen's trust in me."

"Then thank you Brother Shi!" Chen Zhu's temperament was simply sharp, and he didn't shirk it anymore, and accepted it generously.

After the thousand-year-old water spirit wood was sold, all the bidding in this auction had ended, and after Luo Ying expressed her gratitude to all the visitors with a smile, she announced that the auction had ended.

A total of fifteen items were auctioned in this auction, and Shi Cheng and the three of them got three of them, and since the guests in Room 5 got the most auction items, Chen Zhu and the trio were arranged by Huibao Pavilion to leave first.

This is also the rule used by Huibao Pavilion to protect buyers, and there is no precedent in previous auctions where unscrupulous monks walked out of the auction hall early and ambushed other buyers. In order to prevent this from happening, Hui Bao Court made a rule two hundred years ago that the guests participating in the auction should leave in batches when they leave. Guests with a harvest leave before guests with no harvest; Guests who have received a large number of auction items should leave before a small number of guests, and guests who have received a precious auction item should leave before those who have received a regular auction item.

Therefore, Chen Zhu, Shi Cheng, Wu Neng, and Tie Mian, who had obtained one C-class auction item and two second-class auction items, took the lead in leaving the auction hall from a special passage under the arrangement of Huibao Pavilion.

"Brother Shi, it seems that you have gained a lot." After Shi Cheng and the four of them came out, they found that Xu Jincheng was already waiting at the door of the backyard.

Chen Zhu had other business to attend to, and after saying goodbye to everyone, he got into the carriage and left the place.

After Chen Zhu left, Xu Jincheng stepped forward and handed a stack of ferry tickets to Shi Cheng, "Brother Shi, this is the ferry ticket you entrusted me to buy in the letter two days ago, a total of ten, and the boarding date is May 9, that is, eight days later." ”

"So fast?" Shi Cheng was a little surprised, it was the beginning of the mid-year storm season across the sea, and the tickets for this season were not easy to buy.

"Yes, I didn't have to wait until early June to get a ticket, after all, there are many storms across the sea, and there are few ships that can sail. But in the past few days, a big ship has temporarily changed its itinerary, and I see that Brother Shi, you seem to be in a hurry to leave, so I contacted the owner of this ship as soon as possible and bought these tickets. ”
