Chapter 18 Fools and rich second generations can't afford to hurt

Two weeks of life slipped away inadvertently in the busyness.

Lu Chengfeng worked hard to cultivate his fighting spirit, and at the same time, he tried to select those suitable tasks from the large number of tasks of the mercenary union. While earning money, hone your strength by the way. The successive battles, as well as the thorough mastery of the body, as well as the new 72 Dou Qi Heavenly Wind Fighting Qi, have all made Lu Chengfeng's strength improve rapidly.

The accumulation of more than ten years of the predecessor, coupled with the effect of the Qi Gathering Pill, made Lu Chengfeng's Heavenly Wind Dou Qi rush to the middle of the third order at a speed unimaginable to ordinary people.

Probably because Lu Chengfeng has always kept a low profile and kept his identity and information secret, the pursuer who might have been sent by the city lord of Changyuan City did not appear. Lu Chengfeng was also happy to take advantage of this time to work hard to improve his strength and accumulate the power to advance. On Wednesday, the last week of July, Lu Chengfeng waited for the high-profile auction.

Since he had not found any other alternative targets during this time, Lu Chengfeng was determined to obtain this wind crystal.

In the days he spent in the Endless Forest, he had already suffered from not having a good weapon. At this moment, Lu Chengfeng couldn't wait to get the wind crystal and make his first lightsaber after being reborn!

At six o'clock in the afternoon.

Lu Chengfeng, who was wearing an ordinary swordsman uniform and a common gray cloak outside, successfully followed the crowd into the large auction hall in the center of Kaiyang after paying the entrance fee of one hundred gold coins.

The reason why the money is charged, and the price is not low, is mainly to limit the number of people and ensure the strength of the bidding customers. Otherwise, with Kaiyang's population of several million, countless mercenaries, swordsmen, and merchants, even if the area of the auction hall is expanded tenfold, it will definitely not be able to accommodate it, but will block the real customers outside. Therefore, with the threshold of 100 gold coins, those guests who just have the mentality of watching the excitement, or whether they can buy or not, basically will not come in.

In this way, most of those who enter the market have looked at a certain item in advance and prepared gold coins to bid directly.

The auction hall is lavishly decorated, with three floors of seating alone, which can accommodate nearly 2,000 people. The first few rows are the VIP private rooms reserved by the auction house for large customers and aristocrats. With Lu Chengfeng's current identity and status, it is not enough to get a unique private room. He could only quietly walk to his regular seat and wait patiently for the auction to begin.

The three auction houses in charge of holding the auction are obviously veterans, and everything is well prepared.

As a large number of customers entered on time, the sixth-order swordsman who was in charge of presiding over the auction also walked up to the center of the hall in due time. After tapping the table twice, the bearded man spoke through the amplification magic array. Due to the large number of items auctioned and the time is very urgent, after a simple speech and thanks, the presiding Jianhao simply clapped his hands and went directly to the first auction item.

It was a short sword suitable for a fifth-order master—Emily's Silver Makeup Knife!

The weapon is silver-colored, delicate and graceful, and the hilt is inlaid with precious stones. Thanks to the magic treatment and the use of special materials, this sharp weapon can cause unimaginable damage to the undead. It is said that its prototype was designed by Emily, the legendary female swordsman of the time, when she was young, and was very popular with female swordsmen.

The silver makeup knife of Emily in front of him, of course, could not be the prototype, and it was probably imitated by a later blacksmith.

Rao is so, its appearance still aroused the attention of many masters and nobles - although they themselves did not need this gorgeous weapon with decoration greater than actual combat value, it was undoubtedly very pleasing to give it to his girlfriend. Moreover, it is the most suitable to use a weapon suitable for fifth-order masters to be the first auction item at the beginning, which will not make the three auction houses drop their prices, but also detonate the bidding desire of the audience.

"The reserve price is 50,000 gold coins, and each additional auction cannot be less than 1,000 gold!"

After showing the excellent attributes of this sword in an all-round way, Jian Hao quoted the bidding price.

In all fairness, although this Emily's silver makeup knife is a replica, the workmanship is still good enough. The price of 50,000 gold coins is actually a bit low. But it doesn't matter, the three auction houses have been in business for many years, so they are naturally very sure that they will walk away at a low price. And the result was not what they expected, under the scramble of several nobles with female companions to increase the price, the price of Emily's silver makeup knife rose all the way to 80,000 gold coins, and it kept rising!

This popularity can be described as a good start.

After a brief but fierce competition, the short sword was finally sold for 110,000 gold coins.

Despite the intense look, the veterans knew that this was just the beginning. What is really valuable, it's all in the back. Those who shot were limited to a few wealthy aristocratic tyrants. The big money owners and the top 50 VIP boxes, none of them have participated in the bidding.

After Emily's silver makeup knife, what appeared was an ordinary fourth-order fighting technique, Thunder Back Fall.

This is a fighting skill of a martial artist, especially suitable for those who cultivate the spirit of the qi, ordinary swordsmen generally do not practice. Due to the small number of people participating in the competition, the scene was much lighter than just now. However, there are several martial artists who have come specifically for this. In terms of the intensity of the auction, it is no less than the first auction.

In the end, this fighting skill was sold for 35,000 gold coins!

Due to the fact that there are a lot of auction items in this competition, in the next auction, the sword hero who is in charge of hosting it has accelerated his speed. The wind spar that Lu Chengfeng needed was not a valuable thing in this auction house, so after only more than ten rounds, he waited for the pure wind spar to appear.

"Pure Wind Crystal!"

The sword master carefully picked up the gem, circled around, and then vigorously proclaimed its value: "A natural precious gem from the Tempest Canyon, with the purest wind elemental power. Whether it's used to craft weapons, or to craft magical trinkets and equipment, it's the most suitable raw material. Due to its superior quality, the energy contained in such a gem was more than five times that of an ordinary third-order demon core......"

The introduction of the large paragraph at a brisk pace is still very attractive. As soon as he said this, those who already had ideas didn't need to mention it. Some of those who didn't pay attention to this wind crystal also became somewhat interested.

A fourth-order dark night assassin not far in front of Lu Chengfeng temporarily took a fancy to this scenic stone, and poked his head out to look at it endlessly, obviously constantly evaluating its value in his heart.

These temporary opponents brought a lot of pressure to Lu Chengfeng.

However, considering the more than 30,000 gold coins on the crystal card, Lu Chengfeng suddenly had confidence again. The gem is good, but it is untreated, and the material is no more valuable than the finished weapon or fighting skill. With its quality, it would be good to be able to fetch 20,000 gold coins. Even if it is exaggerated, he can win 25,000 gold coins.

In the end, the sword man who presided over the auction offered a reserve price of 8,000 gold.

Again, each increase cannot be less than a thousand!

Lu Chengfeng was determined to get this gem, so as soon as Jian Hao signaled that the auction would begin, he was ready to get up and quote a high price, hoping to directly deter other opponents. However, the fourth-order dark night assassin Yin Xian in front of Lu Chengfeng was more attentive than him. Before he could stand up, the masked assassin had already shouted out the price of 10,000 first.

"Eleven thousand gold coins!"

"Ten thousand!"

"Fourteen thousand!"

As soon as the Assassin's words fell, a succession of people stood up and demanded the price.

Obviously, before the price exceeds 20,000, these offers are just testing each other, which is actually meaningless and cannot scare away opponents at all. Therefore, Lu Chengfeng came to a simple and directly raised the price to 20,000!

His timing and quotation are quite good, 20,000 gold coins, which is roughly the reasonable price of wind crystal. No matter how high it is, even if it is a premium, if you don't make up your mind to buy it, you will basically consider giving it up. Moreover, Lu Chengfeng's categorical tone also revealed his determination.

Immediately, six or seven people fell silent.

Get rid of these guys, and the auction really begins.

Among the remaining people who still offered, in addition to Lu Chengfeng, there was also a fifth-order swordsman, a magic jewelry craftsman, and the fourth-order night assassin in front of Lu Chengfeng.

"Twenty-one thousand gold coins!"

After a short stalemate, the fifth-order sword master on the second floor slowly spoke.

His words seem to have sparked a new round of bidding. The successive quotations of the remaining two have already raised the price to 24,000 gold coins. And the speed of this price rise is also a bit beyond Lu Chengfeng's imagination. He thought that 25,000 gold coins would be enough to buy this gem.

Although he hesitated, Lu Chengfeng quickly followed and reported 25,000 gold coins!

This price is not only the psychological price of Lu Chengfeng, but also the other three. They hesitated for a moment, and finally stopped bidding after shouting out 26,000 gold coins that were overtaken by Lu Chengfeng's price increase.

The auction fell silent.

27,000 gold coins!

Although the price is more expensive than expected, it is acceptable. Seeing that it seemed to be a foregone conclusion, Jianhao, who presided over the auction, had no idea of continuing to speculate, and immediately prepared to announce the finalization. But at this time, suddenly another young man in a white brocade robe stood up and quoted a price of 30,000 yuan.

This price immediately caused a little commotion at the venue.

It's not that the number of 30,000 gold coins is so scary, and the price of hundreds of thousands or even millions of gold coins for the final finale item is very common. The point is, this gem is not worth the price. was raised to 20,000, which is already a bit inflated, and there are auction elements in it. Now the price is 30,000 yuan, and you can almost buy it for two yuan!

At this price, it is really unnecessary.

Lu Chengfeng was not white, why did this stunned young man intervene horizontally, he was stunned, and shouted out the price of 31,000 gold ruthlessly - this is basically his limit.

However, the young man in brocade clothes and jade sword didn't even blink an eye, and directly raised the price to 35,000 gold. Moreover, after the quotation, he also turned to look at Lu Chengfeng, his eyes full of disdain and provocation. As long as Lu Chengfeng dares to bargain, he will dare to continue to add a posture.

Lu Chengfeng suddenly lost his temper......

How can a normal person compete with idiots and idiots?
