Chapter 119: The Auction

As soon as Lu Xiaoan retracted his gaze, a woman with beautiful looks and exquisite makeup walked onto the auction table, and this woman was the auctioneer of this auction. And in addition to this identity, she is also a powerful monk of the ninth layer of the Qi Sea Realm.

Smiling slightly, the beautiful auctioneer said: "My name is Gu Feiyan, I believe that many people know me, I won't say much nonsense, we have organized auctions more than ten times in the Cloud Business Alliance, and everyone knows the reputation." ”

After speaking, Gu Feiyan clapped her hands, and then a woman who practiced qi came up with a jade plate. There is a red silk on the jade plate, and the silk is the thing that is photographed.

Gu Feiyan pointed to the jade bottle on the jade plate with the palm of his hand, and said: "There are three fifth-order Ice Moon Pills in this bottle, many friends of the Ice Moon Pill should have heard of it, it is the unique pill of the Ice Moon Divine Palace, it can not only increase cultivation, but more importantly, it can quench mana, I believe that I don't need to repeat its preciousness, I don't need to repeat it, I don't sell it alone, the starting price is one thousand high-grade spirit stones, let's bid!"

Lu Xiaoan didn't expect that the first lot would be Bingyue Pill, if it wasn't too expensive, he really wanted to buy it, whether it was for Zhou Zhaoyue or for himself to take in the future.

Just when Lu Xiaoan was too expensive, the quotations came and went.

"One thousand one. ”

"One thousand one hundred and five. ”

"One thousand three. ”

"One thousand fifteen. ”

"One thousand eight. ”

"I'll give you two thousand!"

This price is not too expensive, Lu Xiaoan pondered that the elixir refined by his Demon King Demon Pill can be sold for a thousand high-grade spirit stones, which is also a fifth-order elixir, even if the effect of the Ice Moon Pill is not as good as the pill refined by the Demon Pill, the effect of quenching mana is obviously more precious, so the final dealer should be above three thousand high-grade spirit stones.

Sure enough, the sound of bidding was silent for only a moment before it continued to sound, and there was no need for the auctioneer to liven up the atmosphere. The main thing is that the elixir is more attractive to the monk than the magic weapon, who doesn't want their cultivation to grow faster?

"Two thousand one. ”

"Two thousand five. ”

"Two thousand five hundred and five. ”

"Don't shout if you add fifty or fifty, look at your stingy appearance Bingyue Dan has nothing to do with you, I'll pay three thousand!"

Another person directly went to the high price of 3,000 high-grade spirit stones, and in an instant, many people died down.

But this price was obviously not convincing to the public, and I only heard another person say in a voice that did not distinguish between men and women: "The fifth-order Ice Moon Pill is worth more than one thousand high-grade spirit stones in Gaoqiu Country, not to mention that in our Guangyue Country, I will pay three thousand five." ”

The person who came out of three thousand glanced in the direction of the person who spoke, but unfortunately everyone was wearing masks, and this person deliberately changed his voice, so he couldn't see anything, so he could only continue to increase the price: "Three thousand six!"

"Three thousand seven. ”

A calm voice that had never been seen before sounded, and it was obvious that this person was waiting for the other idlers to withdraw from the senseless competition before starting to offer.

"Three thousand eight!"

The voices of men and women followed closely with the quotes.

"Four thousand. ”

The calm voice was still very calm, but the price made Lu Xiaoan feel that maybe he was not as rich as he thought.

The monk who had shouted three thousand before had stopped talking, and it was obvious that the price was so high that he didn't think it was worth it.

For a while, the whole venue was quiet, Gu Feiyan looked around, and then asked with a smile: "Is there any other bid?"

She glanced at the monk, who deliberately or unintentionally did not distinguish between men and women, as if to encourage him.

So, the man said, "Four thousand one, if you increase the price, I will give it to you!"

Then the calm monk said, "Four thousand one hundred and one." ”

"You...... Forget it!"

The monk, who did not distinguish between male and female, said a word and stopped speaking.

Gu Feiyan glanced at the two of them, then looked at the others and asked, "Is there any bidding?"

After waiting for about two breaths, seeing that no one was bidding again, Gu Feiyan said: "Four thousand one hundred and one deal!"

As he spoke, Gu Feiyan waved his hand on the spot, and the jade bottle flew towards the calm monk who had bid four thousand one thousand. After receiving the jade bottle, the monk opened it and looked at it, and then threw a storage bag back.

After lighting the spirit stones in the storage bag, Gu Feiyan nodded and started the auction of the next lot.

The second lot is a fourth-order magic weapon, and its value is far less than that of the Ice Moon Pill. However, this is normal, usually the first lot of the auction is a good thing, and some are even second only to the treasures of the finale, which is to warm up the auction and arouse everyone's enthusiasm in order to raise the price of the whole auction.

Lu Xiaoan had a clear goal, although he also saw a lot of good things during the period, but he couldn't help but make a move. For example, a Xuan-level seven-rank body martial art, which Lu Xiaoan currently lacks, but he is now a little disdainful of Xuan-level martial arts, which is really a little inflated!

Ice Soul is not a very precious thing, so it is impossible to put it very back, and after taking more than 100 lots, a thumb-sized, crystal clear thing is brought up, and this is Ice Spirit.

Gu Feiyan introduced: "This is the ice spirit, it has a strong nourishing effect on the divine soul, and it can also be used for the cultivation of some spells and secret methods, the starting price is five hundred high-grade spirit stones, everyone bid!"

Gu Feiyan said that the ice spirit has a strong nourishing effect on the soul, and if you don't know, you may really be fooled. The Ice Spirit does have a nourishing effect on the Divine Soul, but its effect is not obvious, and it can even be said to be minimal. Otherwise, let alone five hundred high-grade spirit stones, even fifty thousand high-grade spirit stones are also rushed by many people.

The Divine Soul is the key to breaking through the Transformation Divine Realm, but it is difficult for the Divine Soul to grow through external forces just before the Transformation Divine Realm, so you can imagine how precious the things that can nourish the Divine Soul are, and they can be called treasures.

But the word strong is very vague, and it is impossible to define how strong it is, so it is no problem for Gu Feiyan to say this, but it just makes Lu Xiaoan feel a little unhappy.

For most monks, the role of Ice Spirit is only to cultivate spells or secret methods, so there are not many monks who need Ice Spirit, but Gu Feiyan's words have made some people who don't have this kind of spell also interested.

No, as soon as Gu Feiyan's words fell, a standing monk shouted urgently: "I want it, I will give five hundred and five." ”

Listening to his surprised tone, Lu Xiaoan knew that this guy must not understand the true purpose of the ice spirit.

"Six hundred. ”

There weren't many people who needed ice spirits, so Lu Xiaoan didn't wait, and directly made a bid.

But as soon as he finished speaking, another person followed the price and said, "Seven hundred." ”

Lu Xiaoan didn't care, although there are few people who need ice spirits, it doesn't mean that there are none, and it is normal for someone to fight with him. However, Lu Xiaoan didn't immediately increase the price, but paid attention to the buddy who was the first to bid, but unfortunately, this guy didn't seem to have so many spirit stones, so he didn't bid again.

Indeed, there are not many people who have five hundred high-grade spirit stones in the Tongmai Realm cultivation, and some of them are basically second ancestors, Lu Xiao'an is considered an outlier, who told him to be able to kill people beyond the ranks!

After waiting for a while, no one bid again, and without waiting for Gu Feiyan to ask, Lu Xiaoan spoke again: "Seven hundred and five." ”

The price of a piece of ice is about the same, and if you need it, you can accept it even if it is more expensive. Lu Xiaoan is a person who is particularly needed, because what he wants to practice is secret arts.

However, as soon as Lu Xiaoan finished raising the price, the person before did not hesitate to increase the price to eight hundred, and Lu Xiaoan did not wait, and shouted directly: "Eight hundred and five." ”

"Nine hundred. ”

The man didn't hesitate, as if he was shouting nine hundred spirit stones.

Lu Xiaoan frowned, he was afraid that he would meet this kind of person who was also in special need, and he was also very rich, so there was no choice but to do an auction cheaply.

"Nine...... A thousand!"

Lu Xiaoan was about to shout nine hundred and five, but Xiao Ai suddenly reminded Lu Xiaoan to let him shout one thousand directly, so Lu Xiaoan shouted one thousand.

Afterwards, Lu Xiaoan asked Xiao Ai, "Why do you want to shout a thousand?"

Xiao Ai said: "Because the change of counting units is a hurdle, it will cause a psychological hint to people, and they feel that after a thousand, it is particularly worthless." In our world, merchants basically do not price goods as whole numbers, for example, if they should be sold for 1,000, they will be priced at 998, although they are only missing two inconsequential dollars, but they give people a sense of difference between thousands and hundreds, which will make people subconsciously think that it is much cheaper. ”

"So if you call one thousand, he will have to bid four figures, which will give him a certain amount of psychological pressure, and if you only bid nine hundred and five, even if he didn't plan to buy so many spirit stones at the beginning, he will want to simply pay a thousand, and if he pays more, I will give up, then you will have to spend a greater price to buy. ”

Lu Xiaoan sighed: "It turns out that buying something also has such a great knowledge. ”

Xiao Ai said: "This is just the surface, at least in our world, buying and selling is an extremely profound and complicated knowledge, and the breadth of the side touch is even more breathtaking, and there are very few people who can fully understand it, and according to the existing data analysis, your world is the same, but it may not be systematically analyzed and researched and organized into disciplines." ”

"One thousand one. ”

Just when Lu Xiaoan and Xiao Ai were silently communicating, the other party also increased the price again, and still did not hesitate.

Lu Xiaoan was depressed, and was thinking about whether to try it again, but Xiao Ai said: "It's okay to increase the price, but I suggest you give up this piece of ice spirit, the other party's tone has not fluctuated in the slightest from the beginning to the present, which shows that he doesn't care about the spirit stone, just like the rich second generation in our world, 10,000 or 10 million is just a different number for them." ”

Lu Xiaoan: "......"

Xiao Ai: "Of course, there is also a chance that he is an extremely good psychological gamer, that is, in this way, to convey the illusion that he is very rich, so as to make potential competitors intimidating, which is also a common routine used by businessmen." ”

Lu Xiaoan asked, "What are the odds?"

Xiao Ai: "According to my analysis, less than 10 percent. ”

Lu Xiaoan said with some regret: "Then forget it, let's think of another way later!"

However, Xiao Ai said again: "I suggest you continue to increase the price a few times." ”

Lu Xiaoan was stunned for a moment and asked, "Why, didn't you let me give up, what good is it for me to do this except to cheapen the Cloud Business Alliance?"

Xiao Ai: "It seems to be harmful to others and not to yourself, but it is actually good for you." ”

"First, you can avoid being bluffed by the other party, avoiding the chance of less than 10 percent. ”

"Second, it can give people the illusion that you are rich and willing to spend money, so that you can bid in the future. ”

Lu Xiaoan said a little speechlessly: "Is it an illusion that I have money?"

Xiao Ai: "I'm just making an analogy. ”

At this time, Gu Feiyan finally asked, "Is there a price increase?"

It's just a piece of ice, and it already makes her very happy to shoot more than a thousand high-grade spirit stones, so her tone is a little lighter.

Lu Xiaoan thought about it or listened to Xiao Ai, so he shouted: "One thousand two!"

Gu Feiyan glanced at Lu Xiaoan in surprise, and then looked at the person who was competing with Lu Xiaoan.

"One thousand three. ”

The tone still hasn't changed much.

Xiao Ai: "It's basically certain that the other party really doesn't care about money." ”

Lu Xiaoan asked, "Then do you want to increase the price again?"

Xiao Ai: "Add it again." ”

Lu Xiaoan said: "Why, I am also a little reluctant to be a little reluctant to be thousand-four." ”

Xiao Ai: "He will increase the price again." ”

Lu Xiaoan asked, "Then why is it still called?"

Xiao Ai: "Disgusting him!"

“......”

Lu Xiaoan: "Xiaoai, you have really changed, but I appreciate this change." ”

So, Lu Xiaoan shouted directly: "One thousand five!"

Sure enough, the man couldn't help but turn his head and glance at Lu Xiaoan, and then continued to increase the price: "One thousand six." ”

I don't know why, although I didn't buy the ice spirit, but after shouting this 'one thousand five', Lu Xiao'an felt very comfortable, as if he had a bad breath.

Lu Xiaoan no longer raised the price, and the ice spirit naturally fell into the hands of that person.

didn't leave there, because in addition to wanting Xiao Lu'er to gain some knowledge, Lu Xiaoan himself was also curious about what was behind. Although he didn't buy Ice Spirit, there were a lot of good things at the auction, and he wanted to see if there was anything else worth buying.

The auction lasted three days and two nights, with no rest in between, but it was nothing to the monks. On the second night, Lu Xiaoan finally saw something he wanted very much.

This is a refining material, to be precise, it is an auxiliary material for refining the acquired spirit treasure. Of course, you can also use it to refine ordinary magic weapons, but that is really called a tyrannical thing.

Lingbao is divided into innate Lingbao and acquired Lingbao, innate Lingbao takes heaven and earth as the furnace, Lingqi as the fire, and creation as the work, simply put, the natural generation of heaven and earth. Although the power is also strong and weak, most of the innate spirit treasures are very strong, and they have spirituality, which is not something that ordinary people can tame.

One of the characteristics of Lingbao is that it has growth, so some Lingbao that has just been born may not be so strong, but it may become very strong in the future.

Opposite to the innate spirit treasure, the acquired spirit treasure is the spirit treasure refined by human monks, although there are also very powerful, but generally speaking, they are not as good as the innate spirit treasure, and the growth is far inferior, after all, no matter how powerful the refiner is, it is impossible to compete with heaven and earth.

However, Rao is like this, any acquired spirit treasure is also a great treasure.

Therefore, it is just an auxiliary material for refining the acquired spirit treasure, and the starting price is three thousand high-grade spirit stones, and this is still very cheap.

This lot is called Purple Flame Crystal Gold, only the size of the tip of the thumb, purple, shaped like a flame, crystalline, but with the texture of gold, so it is called Purple Flame Crystal Gold.

Taking out this thing alone is useless, and it is not necessary to refine the spirit treasure, otherwise it would not be so cheap. However, this thing can neutralize some spiritual materials with conflicting attributes and increase the refining power of spiritual treasures, so it is still quite valuable.

Lu Xiao'an's eyes were hot, he needed a spirit treasure as a weapon with one sword to break his soul, although his refining level was far from meeting the minimum requirements for refining spirit treasures, but this did not prevent him from collecting materials first!

However, Lu Xiaoan did not bid immediately, the refining materials were only attractive to refiners, or those who wanted Lingbao, but Lingbao was too high, many people didn't dare to think about it, and this was just a dispensable auxiliary material, so no one quoted for a long time.

Gu Feiyan looked around and was not disappointed, it is normal for a lot to be sold at an auction, not to mention this kind of refining material that is already unpopular.

But just as she was about to take the next lot, someone said, "I want three thousand." ”

This person was not Lu Xiao'an, but a Qi Sea Realm monk who was sitting a little behind.

Lu Xiaoan was also a little surprised, he didn't expect that someone would need this thing, but it didn't make sense for someone to fight for him, so he said, "Three thousand one." ”

The Qi Sea Realm monk who made the bid glanced back at Lu Xiaoan, but he didn't say anything, and he didn't bid anymore, maybe he didn't want this thing in the first place.

After buying this purple flame crystal gold, Lu Xiao'an's top-grade spirit stones were left with a pitiful ninety-six pieces, and he became poor all of a sudden, and the things behind him were not qualified to fight. However, this auction is nearing the end, and the things behind it will definitely be more expensive than the other, and Lu Xiaoan will probably not be able to afford it even if he doesn't buy Purple Flame Crystal Gold.

But if you can't afford it, you can stay and open your eyes, anyway, it's almost over, so Lu Xiaoan has no intention of leaving immediately.

Xiao Lu'er was also very well-behaved, and she couldn't bear to speak, but she couldn't help but ask the Purple Flame Crystal Gold to go over to play with it, and she was naturally very curious about the things that her senior brother bought with so many spirit stones.

After playing with it for a while, Xiao Lu'er lost interest, and after returning it to Lu Xiaoan, she continued to look at the things in the stand. The lots that appeared later were not all treasures, but none of them were sold at prices lower than five thousand high-grade spirit stones. By dawn, even the starting price was more than five thousand high-grade spirit stones, and almost all the people competing for these things were Qi Sea Realm cultivators.

Towards noon, the final finale was finally served. It is still served on a jade plate, but unlike other things, it is also covered with a yellow silk, which makes many impatient people feel that Gu Feiyan is pretending to be mysterious.

In fact, many people came for it, so they already knew what was under the yellow silk, but some people didn't know, such as Lu Xiaoan.

With a sweet smile, Gu Fei said: "I believe that many people are already impatient, but I still have to introduce it first, because not everyone knows what this is." ”

As he spoke, Gu Feiyan ripped open the yellow silk covering the last jade plate, only to see that what was on the jade plate was a fist-sized baby skull!
