Chapter 11: Auction!
Under the cover of the huge black robe, not only did Cheng Xing's face be covered, but even the slightly thin body before was stuffed into bloat, and I didn't know that I thought it was a stout muscular man.
The spiritual liquid that can quickly improve the strength of the younger generation and help them reach the fighter as soon as possible can be placed in any city on the mainland, which will cause a crazy rush of family forces, and the alchemist who can refine this kind of thing can win over the best result, if not, killing people is also a common thing.
After repeatedly confirming that he was not being followed, Cheng Xing walked towards the huge auction hall at the end of the street.
Cheng Xing, who had already been here once, entered the venue without the confusion of the last time, and walked straight to the small room of the last time.
Pushing open the door, it was still the same maids from last time.
Seeing a mysterious black-robed man pushing open the door, these maids were also curious, but after the last incident, several people also learned to be smart.
"Hello sir, is there anything I can do to help you?" Several maids asked softly almost at the same time.
Cheng Xing smiled helplessly, this concubine really has a set of training subordinates.
"Please inform Concubine Ya, just say that what was agreed on half a month ago has arrived now, let her come quickly, I will wait here."
walked straight into the room, sat on the sofa unceremoniously, and said in the slightly mature young uncle voice after disguise, so as not to reveal his true age.
After several maids looked at each other a few times, they also obediently left the room and went to inform Concubine Ya.
Not long after, Concubine Ya came to this room with an old man in Tsing Yi with some gray hair.
I saw that the old man's face was full of red light, and the green clothes on his body looked ordinary, but there were a few faint traces of light, which could isolate some soul detection, and the old man's energetic face was also a touch of arrogance that was difficult to hide, after all, this alchemist was a talent that every force was scrambling to pull together.
"System, scan the old man."
Cheng Xing looked at the two people who were getting closer and closer to him, and as soon as his mind moved, he mobilized the system.
[Ding, the scan is over.] γ
[Old man's name: Gu Ni; Strength: Three-star master and second-grade alchemist; Belonging to the Mitre Auction House in Utan City, it is a resident alchemist hired by the Mitre family]
When Concubine Ya saw the mysterious person in a black robe, coupled with what the maid said, she was probably able to confirm her identity, so she said: "Mr. is really on time, it's really half a month, if you come a few days late, Concubine Ya will be scolded to death by the customers on the auction table because of the advance publicity." β
Faced with Concubine Ya's ridiculous words, Cheng Xing didn't care, and said directly: "Bring Master Gu Ni here, don't you be afraid that my elixir is fake, hehe." β
As soon as the words fell, the coffee table in front of the three of them was occupied by small jade bottles, and they were full, although each small jade bottle was blocked with a fighting spirit, but they could still smell the breath of the elixir.
Cheng Xing's black-robed hand waved lightly and said, "Then ask Master Gu Ni to taste it." β
The arrogance on Gu Ni's previous face has dissipated at this moment, and in front of his peers, this arrogance is the most undesirable.
What's more, this person has so many pills as soon as he makes a move, and there is a high probability that he is an alchemy master of a higher grade than himself, and he has lived for so many years, so he still has this bit of eyesight.
Gu Ni quickly put away Cheng Xing's gaze, picked up a bottle on the table, gently sniffed the fragrant elixir breath, then squinted his eyes slightly, tilted the mouth of the bottle to observe the contents of the contents, and then carefully poured out a drop of the spiritual liquid in the bottle and put it in the palm of his hand, and used a silver needle to pick it a few times.
With the stirring of the silver needle, Gu Ni's face also appeared solemn, and he also had an answer in his heart.
Carefully put the jade bottle back in its place, looked at Cheng Xing's gaze again, it was already a little more respectful, and said with a smile: "This spiritual liquid is already able to reach the level of the second-grade elixir, this lord, the old man didn't look away." β
The second-grade pill, the second-grade pill on this table, made Concubine Ya not believe that it was true, and after getting Cheng Xing's affirmation, she couldn't help but gasp.
"Concubine Ya, I've already brought the things, and I'll do the rest..."Cheng Xing said lazily.
Concubine Ya also came back to her senses, and hurriedly said: "Sir, with such a large amount of pills, Concubine Yafei will arrange the auction, but it may take a few days to be auctioned perfectly." β
"It's okay, I'll come back in two days." Cheng Xing said that, and walked outside, leaving Gu Ni and the excited Yafei to look at each other in the room.
In the face of this mysterious person who made such a generous move, Gu Ni also kept thinking in his heart, and finally asked after Concubine Ya had packed up all the spiritual liquid of Zhuji, "Miss Concubine Ya, do you know this person?" β
Concubine Ya remembered that Cheng Xing had told her not to reveal her identity to anyone before, so she had to prevaricate: "This gentleman went to the auction house to shop before, and Concubine Ya met by chance, Mr. was able to talk about cooperation, so he agreed, who knew that this cooperation was so big." β
After that, he took several maids into the auction hall.
In the next few days, the entire Utan City was discussing this new magic elixir, and it was auctioned for several days, so that the Mitre Auction House, which was already in a hot business, was directly surrounded by fanatical people, just hoping to be able to auction a bottle of Zhuji spiritual liquid.
In the auction hall, under the gaze of countless eyes, Concubine Ya was dressed in a set of red cheongsam, and walked onto the auction table with slight steps.
Because of the continuous auctions in the past few days, the pretty face is a little more tired, but the charming smile is even better, and even the two are compatible, making people see more enthusiasm.
"Everyone, what follows is the last set of foundation building elixir left in this auction house, if you miss this time, you don't know when the next auction will be."
As soon as the words came out, the atmosphere of the scene soared directly.
"A set of three bottles, the starting price, 50,000 gold coins."
"I'll give fifty-five thousand!"
"Sixty thousand!"
"Eighty thousand!"
With the previous warm-up publicity, coupled with a few days of continuous auctions, the price of this group has been speculated.
Concubine Ya watched with satisfaction as everyone continued to raise the price, especially the Galie family, who had been charged tens of thousands of gold coins more after several previous auctions, and now they had turned into price coaxers, arching the fire vigorously.
And Cheng Xing's side, after handing over the foundation building spirit liquid to Concubine Ya, he has been cultivating in the house for several days in a row, and he knows that it is not enough to achieve that task in this auction, so there is no need to go to the auction house in a hurry.
γDingγ
[The system reminds the host that the Dou Qi Accelerated Cultivation Card (7 days) you used is about to expire, will it automatically renew it for you?] γ
"No, I don't."
After closing the system interface, Cheng Xing also opened his eyes slightly, and muttered: "This acceleration card is really not bad, it is no worse than the effect of the foundation building spiritual liquid, and when the two are used together, I feel that if you use two or three more, you will be able to reach the ninth stage." β
In the past seven days, Cheng Xing has relied on the Dou Qi to accelerate the cultivation card, sitting in the foundation building spiritual liquid, and cultivating frantically, under this kind of double, in seven days, the results of cultivation are stronger than those of the previous one or two months.
"It's been seven days, and I'm almost going to the auction house, and when I come back, I should have to refine a few more batches of foundation building spirit liquid."
With that in mind, he set off again and headed to the Mitre Auction House.
After this period of auction, the popularity of the Mitre Auction House in Utan City is obviously greater than before, and the families in many other cities, after hearing about the auction of this magical spiritual liquid, have the attitude of giving it a try and send people to inquire about the news.
Although most of them didn't catch up with the hot ones, it didn't prevent them from returning to the city where their family was located with the information, and even the Mitre auction houses in the surrounding cities sent personnel to investigate the situation.
This can make Concubine Ya tired, after all, this mysterious person is directly connected with her, and a lot of questions are asked.
However, this denser flow of people also allowed Cheng Xing to hide in the crowd smoothly and follow him to the Mitre auction house.
Concubine Ya, who was surrounded by the other auction hall in the center, hurriedly said goodbye after a few whispers from the maids, leaving them to discuss on their own.
"The current Sister Yafei is a veritable celebrity."
When Cheng Xing saw that he was a little tired, but the makeup on his face was still exquisite, and the firmness and self-improvement in his eyes were a little stronger than the last time they met, he joked.
Being teased by Cheng Xing like this, Concubine Ya's pink cheeks added a little flush, looked at Cheng Xing with disgusted eyes, and said, "Taking these pills for you during this time can make my throat almost hoarse." But fortunately, I finally lived up to you. β
Cheng Xing listened to Concubine Ya slump in the chair and complained, and also poured tea intimately and handed it over, muttering in his heart: "Help me is to help yourself, when the experience is over, you can only really gain a firm foothold in the family when you return to the imperial capital." β
Concubine Ya used her delicate jade hand to reach Cheng Xing's hand that handed over the teacup, but she didn't expect him to leave immediately, without the slightest stop, which was completely different from those hypocrites who loved to take advantage, which also made Concubine Ya look forward to this young man even more.
"Tell me, how is this auction going?" Cheng Xing withdrew his hand, feeling the fleeting temperature of the warm jade, and asked without hesitation.
Hearing the discussion of business, Concubine Ya also quickly straightened up and said seriously: "This auction lasted for a total of four days, and a total of eighty-three bottles of Zhuji Spirit Liquid were auctioned, with an average transaction price of 24,000 gold coins per bottle. The total auction proceeds amounted to 1,990,020,000 gold coins. Remove the service as well as the..."
After hearing that these foundation building spiritual liquids had auctioned off this amount of money, Cheng Xing interrupted Concubine Ya's report and asked eagerly, "Then aren't you still a long way away from the gold medal auctioneer?" β
Cheng Xing did all this to complete that task, so what he cared about the most was the progress of the task.
Concubine Ya's face was full of smiles, shining like a warm sun, and a laugh like a silver bell sounded, and she said slowly: "With the auction during this time, within a year, I only need to auction items with a total value of more than four million yuan, and I can be promoted to a gold medal auctioneer." β
After hearing the news, Cheng Xing also breathed a sigh of relief, if he really only relied on himself to provide the threshold of fifteen million foundation building spiritual liquid, it would be really difficult, fortunately, Concubine Ya had auctioned a lot of items before, including Xuan-level high-level fighting skills.
"That's okay, it's not very bad." Cheng Xing said with relief.
Concubine Ya pushed a purple-gold card in front of Cheng Xing and said, "After deducting taxes, the auction proceeds are all in this card, a total of 1.95 million." β
Cheng Xing didn't put it away directly, but stared at Concubine Ya's eyes with a serious face, his eyes were cold, and asked, "That incident, how did you find out?" β
Facing Cheng Xing, who suddenly became serious, Concubine Ya was no longer naughty, and took out a few pieces of letter paper from the cabinet on the side with a serious face.
Gently put it in front of Cheng Xing, sat aside and said: "I found out, this batch of goods was directly taken away from the production workshop authorized by the elder of the Xiao family, and said that he would go back to the patriarch to check the quality, and then return it, so the workshop agreed without authorization." β
Cheng Xing looked at the signature on the paper, which was exactly the same as the handwriting on the bill of goods given by Xiao Ke earlier.
Then he asked, "Is that the goods that the Great Elder personally picked up?" β
"It's not, the people in the workshop said, it's a young guy, not tall, quite thin, and should be about your age." Concubine Ya tried to recall the information she had received when she interrogated the workshop personnel earlier.
After checking repeatedly in his mind, Xiao Ning was not thin and taller, but Xiao Ke just met these two conditions at the same time.
"I see, no wonder I was so flustered the last time I met me, it was when I saw that I wasn't dead, Xiao Ke." Cheng Xing already had the answer in his heart, and his eyes became fierce.
Fortunately, Concubine Ya didn't sit opposite, otherwise, I am afraid that I would be frightened when I saw Cheng Xing's appearance.
"But why did Xiao Ke hook up with Galeo, Xiao Ke is the grandson of the Second Elder, Xiao Ning is the Great Elder, why was Xiao Ke able to get the letter signed by the Great Elder? I'm afraid that this Xiao Ke and Xiao Ning are inseparable. β
Cheng Xing thought quickly, and his emotions began to converge on the surface, he knew that it was not yet time to make a difficulty, and it was still difficult to confirm this matter in the absence of absolute evidence.
But now at least I know that it was Xiao Ke who took away these ten sets of costumes.
"By the way, this batch of costumes will be completed soon, do you want to tell Patriarch Xiao, or we will notify Patriarch Xiao directly." Yafei asked.
Cheng Xing thought for a while, waved his hand and said, "You can inform me, and tell me about this matter by the way, but you say that the Great Elder can take away ten sets of clothes, and if the rest is asked by the clan at that time, I will say it again, otherwise if I say it, it will inevitably make people doubt the credibility of the information." β
Faced with Cheng Xing's thoughtful words, Concubine Ya replied with a smile: "Okay, I will go to the Xiao family to talk to Patriarch Xiao about this matter in two days." β
Cheng Xing nodded in affirmation, then pointed to the Zijin card on the table, gave another list, and said, "The medicinal materials on it, grab two copies for me." β
Concubine Ya took the paper, and there were many medicinal herbs written on it.
"Eight fifty-year-old Ink Leaf Lotus, four ripe ambergris fruits, two Gathering Spirit Grasses that are more than twenty years old, and two water-attribute second-level demon cores." Concubine Ya looked at these medicinal materials, and was also thinking about whether there were so many quantities by the way, so she was a little distressed: "Most of your medicinal materials are relatively rare, and it may take some time to find them."
Cheng Xing nodded and said indifferently: "It's okay, I'll come back to get it after a while, and by the way, I'll send some foundation building spirit liquid to auction." β
Hearing that some more Zhuji spiritual liquid was sent for auction, Concubine Ya couldn't believe her ears, the previous more than eighty bottles of Zhuji spiritual liquid shook several surrounding cities, and this time the auction will continue, this influence is out, no matter whether the gold medal is gold or not, no one will be able to press on her head in this assessment.
And Cheng Xing bought these two pairs of medicinal materials that gathered qi and dispersed, he also wanted to gamble to see if the forced refining could be successful, and if he succeeded, he would be able to become a fighter as soon as possible and go out to practice.
Now that he knew the information, Cheng Xing didn't stay any longer, and after a few words of greeting Concubine Ya, he walked out of the room wrapped in a black robe and walked towards the family.
