Volume 3 Expeditionary Force Chapter 105 Spirit Stone Ancient Mine
Han Changming concentrated on refining weapons, hoping to improve his level by increasing his refining proficiency, and reach the level of being able to refine the magic weapons of the Dan stage earlier.
And so, day after day, two months passed before I knew it.
The grocery store he now runs sells high-quality and inexpensive magic weapons, which are quite popular with low-level disciples, especially the disciples of the Holy Light Academy, who are even more proud to own a magic weapon refined by Mr. Han of this academy.
Han Changming's grocery store only opens at noon every day, and then sells the magic artifacts refined yesterday afternoon and this morning.
And as soon as the door is opened every day, you can see that the customer queue at the door automatically forms a long line, and I don't know who invented and passed on the rule, saying that everyone in his store can only buy one at a time, otherwise it will anger the shopkeeper, which makes Han Changsheng cry and laugh.
On the afternoon of this day, all the magic weapons refined by Han Changming were sold out, and he was about to close the door to continue refining a new batch, when suddenly a female cultivator came to the door and asked to see him.
This female cultivator, recognized by Han Changming, was a servant girl of Xia Jiuchai.
The woman hurriedly said: "Mr. Han, Miss has specially invited you to participate in a 'live auction', calculate the time, and it's just too late to rush over now." ”
Han Changming looked at her panting and wondered: "Live auction? Does this real person refer to a real person, or does it refer to a real person from the Daomen? Do you know what exactly is being auctioned?"
"I don't know about this, Miss is also participating in this auction for the first time, and the time is almost too late, so Mr. Han will know when he goes. ”
So Han Changming followed the maidservant to the vicinity of the Xia Kingdom port, where there was a hidden and old building, although this building was not high, but it covered a wide area.
In addition to the two broken lions at the gate, there is also a worn-out plaque above the gate with five faded words 'Live Auction'.
Han Changming said secretly: "This ...... It can't just be called a 'live auction', right?"
At this time, the maidservant knocked lightly on the door, and then stuffed a thin piece of iron into the crack of the door, presumably it should be an admission voucher or something.
Soon the door opened from the inside, and the maidservant went in first.
Han Changming's eyes flashed, and he also followed.
As soon as he walked in, he was stunned, the appearance of this building was old, but when he walked in, he found that the inside was actually paved with white jade, purple pillars and golden beams, and it was extremely luxurious.
It was a huge hall with hundreds of chairs, carved from sandalwood at least a thousand years old, with a faint scent of sandalwood, and many smokers and candlesticks around the venue.
The busy maids are all in figures, all dressed in palace costumes, elegant and generous, and there are also several female cultivators in the foundation building period next to the venue to tap the chimes, playing a stirring atmosphere, this song contains spiritual power, making people listen to the excitement, as if luring all the bidders who come here to spend a lot of money.
Han Changsheng's gaze swept around, even if he didn't ask anyone else at the moment, he could know why this place was called a 'live auction'.
Because all the monks who participated in this auction did not hide their appearances, all of them participated in the auction with real people's real appearances.
This is different from traditional auctions, where in the auctions that Han Changsheng participated in in the past, each bidder tried his best to hide his true identity, for fear of being recognized and killed.
"If this auction does this, will anyone dare to bid with confidence? Not afraid that someone will kill people and steal the goods afterwards? It seems that in the end, it will only be the big people who will participate in the bidding, so that after they get the auction, they are not afraid that others will think crookedly about him!"
Han Changming quickly analyzed the truth, and after thinking about it carefully, I am afraid that this is an auction that is only for the high-ranking elites or high-ranking monks, and the low-level monks have a life to auction it, and they have no life to take it.
Han Changming walked forward, only to see Xia Jiuchai sitting in the first few rows, Xia Liuxing actually accompanied her, it seemed that these two cousins had formed an alliance.
When Xia Jiuchai and the others saw Han Changming coming, they naturally couldn't help but have some greetings, and then Han Changsheng sat down.
After a while, an old man who had cultivated as a restrained man came up on the stage, but this old man's body exuded a dangerous aura, as if he was a giant beast that had been sleeping for thousands of years.
"Old man Ni Qushi, as the host of this auction, the people who can come to this place today are all big names with heads and faces in Xia State, so the old man will not say anything about the rules, you can do it yourself, don't try the law. ”
The old man named Ni Qushi was introducing himself, but his broken voice made everyone present feel strange when they heard it, and even their ears didn't feel very comfortable.
However, the focus of the bidders in the audience at this moment is obviously not whether the old man's voice is good or not, but the special identity of the old man, and a large number of bidders have heard this name.
"Why is he? Isn't this a prisoner who entered the Xia Kingdom's wanted list ten years ago? How can he be invited to host the auction?"
"No wonder I think this person is familiar, this old monster used to kill people like hemp, and he will repay him, and every time he kills someone, he has to shout 'you die', and then kill the other party, such a method can be described as extremely cruel and outrageous!"
"It seems that he has been recruited by the alliance and successfully whitewashed to become a legitimate monk, so now he can preside over this kind of high-level auction!"
"Silence!"
Master Ni Qu let out a dissatisfied roar, and then his gaze swept from left to right, sweeping over all the monks in the hall in turn.
Among the people present, only people with extremely noble status and old monsters in the infancy dared to look at him, and the rest of the people hurriedly silenced them, for fear of angering this person and inviting unwarranted disasters.
Han Changming ignored Ni Qushi's gaze, Han Changming's gaze swept casually in the venue at this time, and he actually met Xia Yu.
Xia Yu seemed to feel something, and also looked at Han Changsheng, although Han Changsheng was far away from Xia Yu at this moment, he could also feel the revenge aura exuded by this fat man's body.
Xia really wanted to kill Han Changsheng and then quickly, he hated Han Changsheng not because he lost 10 million spirit stones to Xia Liuxing, but because Han Changming, the gambling god, was not a person from his own camp and could not be used by himself.
"Why is this Xia Yu so much fatter than twenty years ago?"
Han Changsheng asked Xia Liuxing very incomprehensibly, how could he give up on himself to such an extent as an immortal cultivator?
Xia Liuxing said: "Twenty years ago, he was confined by his father Xia Shuidao for several years because he lost 20 million spirit stones, and as a result, others not only did not lose weight, but ate fatter. ”
At this time, Ni Qushi on the stage spoke again.
"The things to be auctioned today are first of all two pieces of spirit stone ore of different sizes, and first of all, a small piece of raw ore will be auctioned, with a starting price of one million spirit stones, and each increase shall not be less than ten thousand spirit stones. ”
After Ni Qushi finished speaking, the maid brought a stone the size of a human head, and without much explanation, she directly announced the start of the auction.
"One hundred and ten thousand. ”
"Two million. ”
"Three and a half million. ”
Han Changming listened to the shouts one after another, and couldn't help but smack his tongue secretly, this high-level cultivator is really wealthy, and people who don't know may think that this spirit stone, the common currency of the immortal cultivation world, is already worthless, but the real situation is that the spirit stone of the Xia Kingdom is already in a state of shortage.
However, Han Changming was still a little puzzled by this raw ore, although he knew that the spirit stone was ground from the original ore, but this original ore seemed to be a little special, so it could be sold so expensive.
At this time, Xia Liuxing explained softly to Han Changsheng: "The spirit stone ore in this auction is a little different from the usual raw ore, in the past, there was a monk in the spruce forest of Tianyue Mountain, and inadvertently picked up a piece of spirit stone ore, this stone was actually mixed with a leaf, and later after the identification of the powerful man, this leaf was extinct for many years." The leaves of Huiyang Grass, as long as any immortal cultivator has one breath left, will recover after eating this leaf, which caused a sensation at the time, so many monks dug three feet into the ground at Tianyue Mountain to find the original ore. ”
"Later, I found a lot of raw ore?" asked Han Changming.
"Yes, a group of monks have dug up an incredible ancient mine hidden deep underground, so that it can be seen again, and the monks can first reach the underground through the entrance of the shaft, and then cross the curved tunnel, and finally enter the mine, but it seems that the ancient monks encountered an irresistible disaster when mining, so they had to stop mining and completely block this ancient mine. Now many monks enter the depths of this mine, and they can also dig out some raw ore, but every time a stone is dug out, a monk will die in the mine accidentally, however, these raw mines have some chance of carrying some extinct spirit branches and spirit leaves in it, which has attracted countless monks to enter the mine one after another. ”
Xia Liuxing explained to Xia Jiuchai and Han Changming in detail, Han Changsheng really couldn't imagine that this raw mine had such a history, no wonder so many people bid for it.
"Five million!"
Xia Liuxing shouted an extremely high price, and suddenly the audience fell silent, this price has exceeded the value of the original ore, and this is only the beginning of the auction, many people still need to keep money to auction the rest of the things, so Xia Liuxing was auctioned for a while.
However, the host Ni Qushi did not give the raw ore to Xia Liuxing, but put the ore on the table and cut it with a knife in public.
This is the rule of the auction house, all the raw ore, after the buyer auctions, must be cut in public, if it is a good thing in the stone, you can resell it to other bidders on the spot, you can also sell it to the auction house.
"It's actually the leaves of the rare Tianmu grass, although this grass still exists in the world, it is already difficult to find, and the five million spirit stones of the Xia Meteor Son are not lost!"
Ni Qushi said lightly.
Everyone heard it, according to the meaning of Ni Qushi's words, Xia Liuxing barely kept his capital, and there was no loss.
So the next auction began to be the larger piece of raw ore, this stone is actually the size of a basin, and the starting price is five million spirit stones.
With the encouragement that Xia Meteor's spirit stone cut out just now, everyone was full of confidence in this basin-sized raw ore and bid one after another.
From the price of five million, bidding all the way up, soaring to ten million spirit stones.
In the end, Xia Yu shouted with a fat face: "You also want to rob my son? I'll give fifteen million!"
As soon as these words came out, the audience was silent, this Xia Yu is really a 'pit father', even if his father Xia Shuidao came in person, I'm afraid he would be reluctant to spend such a large amount of astronomical spirit stones to gamble on stones, right?
