Chapter 11: The Auction
Daliang City, auction.
The auction palace is the lord of Daliang City, built with green luan stone, which is extremely strong, and warm in winter and cool in summer, which is really a necessary material for home travel and house repair.
This auction was held by the Huanhe Sect, the Exorcism Sect, the Black Fly Temple, the Cold Poison Gate, the Troll Villa, the Zhengqi Pavilion, and the Demon Elimination Workshop, which were entrenched in the vicinity of Zhengcheng. After all, in this world of cultivation, the transportation is not very convenient, and business exchanges are even more pitiful, and it is normal for the righteous and demonic to cooperate in trading goods.
This auction also has very strict cultivation requirements, and the cultivators of the invitees are at least high-level monks of mustard seeds.
In the venue, many first-order demon beast fat lamps were lit, this kind of lamp can even be comparable to a low-level magic weapon, burning for a long time, radiant and colorful, exuding a strange fragrance.
"It is worthy of the auction palace built by the city lord of Zhengcheng himself, it is really magnificent and luxurious, and it is breathtaking!" As soon as Jia Ren walked into the auction palace, he couldn't help but sigh and praise.
The people in charge of leading the way are the disciples of the Zhengqi Pavilion, and they, together with the Demon Slayer Fang, are the initiators of the auction on the surface. After all, the emperors of the Nanye Dynasty worked hard, and the cultivators who ruled the Nanye Dynasty were all righteous monks. Therefore, the other Demon Dao sects still have to give this face to these two righteous sects.
Leaving the waiting room of the auction palace, I entered the inner hall where the auction was held, where the light was a little dim, giving people a sense of mystery. The layout of the auction is divided into three floors, like a ring, and encloses the agarwood platform in the center to display the auction items. The first floor of the seats is for monks who are not affiliated with any sect and have no background. In the box on the second floor, there were the elders of the various sects that organized the auction, as well as some monks of the advanced level. The single room on the third floor is a monk who has reached the level of Ning Chen, or the master of those sects. The images of the products in the auction are projected into the private rooms and private rooms using a special technique, so it is also very convenient. The agarwood display table is arranged with a small two-turn formation, and it is also dotted with several demon beast pills to prevent someone from snatching the goods that are being auctioned.
There are also maids in charge of entertaining at the auction, and the first floor is basically some ordinary goods, and a very small part of them are beautiful and moving. The second layer is full of mortal girls who are as beautiful as flowers and have incomparably beautiful faces, most of whom are introductory disciples of the mustard seed stage of the Demon Dao Sect. The maids of the third layer, in order to cultivate, most of them come from the Hehuan Sect of the Demon Dao Sect, this sect is the sect where the female demon head is located, and it promotes cultivation by cultivating the Yang Yuan that sucks the Ding Furnace. Most of them have reached the high level of mustard seeds, and even, the female commander who is in charge of this matter has reached the first level of subtlety.
Some of these maids are cold and beautiful, some are lively and lovely, some are noble and cold, and some are tender like water. It is a beautiful scenery of the auction. The auction had not officially begun, and some young demons with strong blood and strength, as well as old monsters who were old and strong, couldn't help it, and began to stretch out their sinful hands to the maid who was in charge of entertaining them, and kneaded them.
However, no one stopped it, and even those maids were not disgusted, but even flattered. In the cultivation world where they lived, power was respected, and in the eyes of the monks, mortals had completely unequal status. If these maids can take this opportunity to find a backer, it will be worth the trip.
"Hey, old man Li, you are really old and strong!"
"Haha, boy Wang, I don't think you're bad. ”
"Zhao Ergou, you are also here, you are looking for death. ”
"Tian Xiaosan, here, what can you do to me? Is it possible, do you have the courage to challenge the head of the single room on the third floor, the sect master?"
"You ........"
"Big brother, I didn't expect to be able to meet you here, what a coincidence!"
Before the auction began, the guests who came here set off their respective grievances clearly, but at most they only talked about it, and no one dared to do it. Because, if anyone makes a move at this time and sweeps away the Yaxing of those sect masters, they really can't eat and go around.
Time passed little by little, and the seats for the auction were gradually filled, only a loud bang was heard, and the palace doors and windows of the auction palace were closed. The auction hall inside, at this moment, lit up one hundred and eight animal fat lamps, illuminating the lights here.
And in the middle of the auction hall, a white-haired old man slowly walked out, who turned out to be the owner of the Zhengqi Pavilion - Zheng Tianliang. Zheng Tianliang is the powerhouse of Ning Chen's junior level, the chief auctioneer in charge of this auction, and is responsible for all transaction issues in the auction room. And the owner of the Demon Removal Workshop, the Absolute Demon Exhaust, is responsible for the safety of the auction house, as well as the layout of the venue.
The white-haired old man coughed lightly, and the scene instantly quieted down, the deterrent power of the old monster in the morning period is not a joke with you.
"The old man is the master of the Zhengqi Pavilion, and today he is the chief auctioneer of this auction. I hope everyone will give the old man a face, don't make a mistake, otherwise, there will be no forgiveness!"
"First, those who dare to fight and disrupt the auction at the auction will be killed!"
"Second, the reserve price of the auction is set by us personally, and there is no doubt about it. Those who dare to question and disrupt the auction will be killed. ”
"Third, the highest bidder will be given priority, and if you use cultivation as a way to disrupt the auction, you will be killed!"
"Fourth, anyone who robs the treasure while the auction is in progress will be killed!"
The monks in the audience hurriedly agreed: "Yes, yes, yes." What Masa-sama said is that we will never violate the rules of adults. ”
After everyone agreed, there was silence and no more noise.
Zheng Tianliang glanced at the audience with satisfaction, and then slowly spoke: "I announce, Zhengcheng auction, now officially starts!"
The auction began, another young auctioneer took over from Zheng Tianliang, urged the agarwood display table, and began to slowly emerge a jade Ruyi, jade Ruyi crystal clear, warm and smooth, jade Ruyi's jade body, seems to contain a magic that can calm people down. However, it was stained with a little bit of blood, which slightly affected the appearance. This is what kind of teleportation, but it's not profound, it's similar to a trick.
"Now auction the first collection, the heart calming jade Ruyi, the lower grade spirit weapon, can help the monk get rid of the demons in the heart, calm the mind, and assist the cultivation of monks below the morning period, which can increase the cultivation effect by a quarter. The reserve price of this auction item is three hundred and fifty spirit stones, and each time you bid, at least ten spirit stones will be added. Now begins!" the auctioneer explained the effects of the lot, picked up a small hammer-like artifact and struck it, announcing that bidding could begin.
"What's the use of this, the cultivation speed has only increased by a quarter. "A demonic monk doesn't care about the Tao.
"You fool, right? If you have this Jade Ruyi, if an ordinary person cultivates for an hour, you will be equivalent to a quarter of an hour more than him. Over time, it should not be underestimated!" A disciple of the Righteous Dao Sect could not tolerate the shallowness of the Demon Dao Cultivator's knowledge, and explained with his words.
"Explain to a short-sighted guy like him, I'll give you three hundred and seventy spirit stones!"
"Three hundred and eighty-five pieces!"
"Three hundred and ninety pieces!"
"Four hundred and twenty dollars!"
"Hmph, just by virtue of you, do you also want to bid with me Dou Gu? Four hundred and fifty yuan!"
The scene fell silent in an instant.
"Four hundred and fifty dollars at a time. ”
"Four hundred and fifty pieces twice. ”
"Four hundred and fifty yuan three times, deal!"
"The son of the Dou family is really wealthy, in fact, this jade Ruyi can be photographed for four hundred and thirty-five yuan. ”
"You don't understand, if you quote slowly like this, the price may continue to rise, and Dou Gu Gongzi can dispel those people's desire to continue to follow the price. ”
After the auctioneer made the final decision, the jade Ruyi on the display table was replaced by the maid, and then handed over to the buyer after the auction was over. Instead, there was a rusty ring-headed knife, which was ordinary, but it hid a spiritual power that was vague.
"The second auction item is a magic knife, called Blood, and the quality is a low-grade spiritual weapon. The patina on it is not a mortal thing, it is the blood rust turned into the essence blood of the monk it killed, and after other monks absorb it, they can improve their cultivation by a small level. The reserve price is 2,500 spirit stones, and each bid for 100 spirit stones will not be counteroffered. ”
"Two thousand seven hundred spirit stones!"
"Two thousand nine hundred spirit stones!"
"Three thousand one hundred and fifty spirit stones!"
"There are very few things that can be cultivated by cultivators, and the first one is the six-colored spirit grapes, but the quantity is scarce and expensive, and the others are all sideways. This time, I was lucky enough to shoot it. Three thousand three hundred spirit stones!"
"Three thousand six hundred spirit stones. I want this, no one can do it, I said!"
Prices continued to rise, and almost everyone except for the three-story private rooms participated in the bidding. After all, this kind of thing that can directly improve cultivation, even if you can't use it yourself, it is a beautiful thing to leave it to juniors.
In order to compete for it, many people turn against each other, because the benefits brought by this kind of thing cannot be shared with others. Even if it is his elders, his relatives and friends, he can't give it up.
"Cut, this kind of demonic thing, I don't know how many people's blood has been contaminated, so we don't bother to bid on it. One of the disciples of the Demon Slayer Sect pursed his lips disdainfully, he had tried bidding before, but he still gave up due to lack of financial resources.
Next to him, his friend Wang Lu of the Zhengqi Pavilion patted him on the shoulder and comforted: "It's okay, isn't it just some kind of blood rust that can improve cultivation? It's not a big deal, as long as we practice for another year, we can reach this level." As people in the righteous path, why should we sacrifice so many spirit stones to boost the arrogance of the demonic path?"
At this time, Wang Lu had completely forgotten that he had a quarrel with his uncle just now because of the bidding.
"Four thousand spirit stones!"
"Four thousand five hundred spirit stones!"
"Five thousand spirit stones!"
In the end, this magic knife called "Blood" was auctioned down by the owner of the righteous demon exterminator workshop for 5,200 spirit stones.
"Congratulations, congratulations to Gongzi Chu for winning the treasure, I believe that Gongzi Chu's next practice will be unimpeded. ”
"He Xi Chu Gongzi is worthy of being a new star of our righteous path. ”
The monks beside Gongzi Chu came over one after another and congratulated him.
"Well, thank you all for your blessings. "Young Master Chu has sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and he looks dignified, but his attitude is a little indifferent.
"Then there's the third lot, or rather, the auctioneer. The auctioneer smiled intriguingly.
I saw that the stone slab in the center of the auction hall was opened, revealing a dark iron cage with more than thirty teenagers locked inside. And you should think about it, and it is also among them.
"I really didn't expect that one day I would be able to appear in the auction as goods. Ying Si looked at the people in the hall who seemed to be picking cattle, sheep and animals, and really didn't know what expression to face. He should think about it, he is really the only one who is used as the protagonist of goods sales.
