Volume 1 Ding Ling's Present Chapter 64 The auction boom has risen, and the spirit stone is precious
There was still more than an hour before the official auction time, and the two of them wandered around to the auction site.
The closer to the auction house, the more and more monks gathered to sell all kinds of magic weapons, materials, elixirs, spirit runes, and spiritual food, and the shouting and selling were endless, making people feel as if they had the illusion of being in a large vegetable market.
Yang Jinyun sighed with emotion, originally she should be one of these low-level monks who worked hard to sell goods, and these low-level monks would most likely not go to the Four Seas Auction, even if they were in the audience, most of them would not go, for no other reason, probably because they were reluctant to give up the spirit stone.
The auction is held every ten years, and has been postponed several times for various reasons over the thousands of years, but it has almost never stopped, and the whole auction system has been improved and improved day by day.
The Four Seas City Auction has specially created a mask used to conceal its original appearance and aura, this mask can resist the temptation of all means under the spirit realm, not only that, it can also change one's original voice, so that even those who know it well cannot be discerned by the voice.
Due to the mass production of this item, it can be used in quantity to almost all the monks who come to participate in the auction, but anyone who shows enough spirit stones to be eligible for the auction can receive one and return it to the auction house after the auction is over.
The auction hall is a cylindrical building that covers a lot of area, more than ten zhang high, and the exterior decoration is more gorgeous. Eight huge pillars are evenly distributed around the auction hall, and under the pillars are bluestone slabs, extending in all directions.
At present, the four squares around the auction hall are full of monks who set up stalls, and all kinds of low-end items for everyone to buy are endless, some of them are maliciously asking for bids, and some are cheap and affordable.
There are about tens of thousands of people in the auction room, and there is no problem in squeezing more than 100,000 people.
It was not until the system was changed in the last two years that the layout of the venue changed, and the auction hall is now divided into several areas. The first area is the auditorium, a total of about 60,000 seats, these are purely enjoyable, the back position only needs to pay ten spirit stones, the middle position needs to pay twenty spirit stones, the best viewing point has about 10,000 seats, these positions are often the first to be snatched up, you need to pay fifty spirit stones to make an appointment.
The second area is the auction seats, and only monks who have displayed enough spirit stones to determine the ability to auction are eligible to sit in these seats. Compared with the audience seats, the seats of the auction seats are not so many, and there are less than 10,000 seats horizontally and vertically. However, since the restructuring, the number of people sitting in this seat has never exceeded more than 50% of the number of seats, and of course the minimum will not be less than 30%.
The third is the VIP seat, which is reluctant to say that it is a seat, and it should be more accurate to call it a VIP private room. These private rooms are all on the second floor of the auction house, and they are lined up in a full circle along the arc-shaped inner court, making a total of eighty-eight rooms.
It is quite difficult to achieve the conditions for entering the VIP room, firstly, it is necessary to cultivate above the Casting Realm, and secondly, it is necessary to show the financial resources of more than 100,000 spirit stones to enter the table, which will discourage more than ninety percent of the monks, and only a few Casting Realm monks who are quite wealthy have sufficient financial resources.
Therefore, every time an auction is held, the monks who can be qualified to enter the VIP room are always less than half of the total number of VIP rooms, but every time the auction is held, almost these monks who account for a very small proportion control the rhythm of the whole auction, but whenever there are valuables after repeated bidding, the final owner is probably them.
There is only one entrance to the auction hall of Sihai City, and at this time, there is already a group of staff related to Sihai Pavilion who are here to check, and there are also some people affiliated with Sihai City who are here to help, sorting out which ones are pure spectators, which are bidders, or a very small number of VIPs who are very wealthy. The total profit generated by the auction will be distributed according to the regular three-seven, with Sihai City receiving 30%, and the remaining 70% being obtained by Sihai Pavilion.
For the side of Sihai City, this thirty percent of the profit is basically for nothing, of course, it is not tired. On the day of the auction, in addition to sending some personnel to assist in the auction, the most that Sihai City symbolically sent a few Casting Realm monks to suppress the auction during the auction.
In fact, most of them don't need to be sent, because every time Sihai City goes to participate in the auction, there are at least a few Casting Realm monks, and even sometimes the city lord will come to the venue in person, most of them are sitting in a VIP seat, but everyone who can't do it is known.
When Ji Shafu and his party wandered all the way to the main entrance of the auction hall, it was less than half a pillar of incense before the official auction, and the guest seats inside were almost full at this time.
The crowds of spectators and the lively voices kept coming out, and these people were particularly excited, and they were all expecting the bigwigs to raise the price to a breathtaking level with red faces in order to compete for a certain treasure, which seemed to be refreshing for a while.
So spending dozens of spirit stones to cool off like this, in exchange for insight and conversation, it is definitely a particularly worthwhile thing.
At this time, a receptionist came over and humbly and politely asked whether Ji Sha's funeral was going to the audience or the auction seat, and briefly explained the criteria for entering each seat.
Ji Xue nodded, poured out more than a thousand medium-grade spirit stones with a bang, and said, "Arrange a VIP room for me." ”
The reception staff was stunned for a moment, and instantly adjusted the humble and non-arrogant look that was originally polite, became extremely enthusiastic, made a gesture of please, and handed Ji Shafu and Yang Jinyun two masks that could cover the monk's original face and breath, and led them to the VIP seat while introducing some of the things that have happened in the Four Seas Auction Hall for thousands of years.
Ji Shafu smiled slightly, asked if the receptionist was a local, and after getting a positive answer, he handed him a medium-grade spirit stone. Zhang Hongcheng, the young receptionist, was startled, and took the spirit stone into his arms in fear, and was grateful.
Ji Xufu smiled: "You speak smartly and do things neatly, I appreciate it very much." But even if you are clever, it is normal to reward a few low-grade spirit stones, and the reason why I give you this medium-grade spirit stone is completely because I am optimistic about your usefulness. You can take this talisman seal, keep it well and don't lose it, and if I use you in the future, I will send a message to you. In addition, you also take care of a side couple of the Yang family in Sihai City, if you take care of it properly, I will also give another reward. ”
Zhang Hong nodded yes again and again, and sent Ji Sha to the No. 62 VIP room and withdrew. The fat relict bird flew down from Ji Shafu's shoulder, and instantly returned to its original state, quacking and shouting: "Hey! It's still so comfortable, so that the master has always become that kind of little bird, it's really aggrieved, the master is so mighty, so domineering, and that kind of image is not at all consistent." ”
Yang Jinyun covered her mouth in surprise, this was the first time she had seen the fat body shape of the Fat Relic Bird, and her heart said that Uncle Little Bird was like this, no wonder she could eat so many things at that time.
The Fat Relic Bird seemed to be very impressed by Yang Jinyun's surprised expression, and squeezed his eyebrows and said, "Good nephew, are you surprised to see Uncle Shi's suave appearance, are you not surprised?"
"Hmm!" Yang Jinyun replied, "It's just a little fatter." ”
"Fatter?" The Fat Relic Bird looked stunned and asked, "Where is the fat? Where is the fat?"
"Stomach, wings, head, body and ......" Yang Jinyun looked carefully and said seriously.
"Master wants to lose weight, this can't live, hey, you are a fool. ”
"I didn't. Yang Jinyun's face turned red and explained: "You are already fat. ”
"Ignore it, it's just this virtue, it likes to tease people, and slowly you will get used to it. Ji said with a smile.
The VIP seat has an excellent view and good sound insulation, so you really get what you pay for.
At this moment, Ji Shafu saw a woman with a cold and beautiful face walking on the stage first, this woman's shoulders were slashed, and her face was quiet and elegant, she must be the host of the auction, Ling Yu, and after she stood in the middle, Pei Hua and another middle-aged man followed closely on the stage.
Ling Yu glanced at the audience, and a majestic spiritual pressure in the late stage of the Casting Realm was released, and the noise was immediately suppressed.
It wasn't until the arena became quiet that she spoke: "The forty-third auction of Four Seas City has officially started now, and there are a total of ninety-one items in this auction, including sixty-two ordinary items, nineteen medium items, seven upper grades, one treasure, one dark item, and one that has not appeared in the past ten auctions, a masterpiece. ”
As soon as Ling Yu's words fell, the already quiet auction hall immediately boiled, and there were bursts of jubilant cheers from the audience, this time there was a good show to be staged, what is the concept of a masterpiece, it is something that can make all the Casting Realm monks crazy, and then I don't know what price I have to fight for, in short, I can feast my eyes.
The auction seats below are much more calm, and although there are exchanges, they are nowhere near as lively as the auditoriums. After all, these people are here to bid for the items they need, not to mention the superb, treasures, and secret products, it is estimated that for them who do not have enough money, it is not so easy to auction the top grades.
For these monks who bid for the seats, it is impossible to say that there is no expectation of wanting a superb "fragrance", but most of them are still more likely to say that grapes are sour when they can't eat grapes.
These monks in the VIP room above naturally had different thoughts, and when they heard that there was a superb product, their eyes were full of light, if it weren't for the fact that most of them were Casting Realm monks from some city governments, they would probably have already shown more excitement than the people in the audience below.
Only the monk in the two VIP rooms was still calm, and one of them was naturally the owner of this superb product, Ji Sha Fu, he only hoped that the price of the spirit feather could be raised as high as possible at that time, so that he could not only pay off the 500,000 spirit stones he borrowed from Pei Hua before, but also have enough room to steadily take pictures of the second-order Shadow Demon Soul Crystal that appeared at the end.
And the monk who was sitting in the other room, unfazed in his heart, was Xi Yuzhen, the youngest Enlightening Realm elder of the Xuance Sect.
