The Wind Rises and the Pure Yang Chapter 82 The Auction
Just when Li asked whether the two had a chance to chat or not, Chen Wan'er came to the small courtyard where the two were. Seeing Chen Wan'er coming, Li Wenwen asked.
"What's the matter, is Pavilion Master Chen about to start the auction? ”
"Giggles, Li Gongzi has seen the outside, indeed, the auction is about to start in three quarters of an hour, is this not a slave family coming over to invite you and Miss Su to go over and have a look." ”
"Haha, okay, it just so happened that I was talking to Miss Su about this auction just now. By the way, Pavilion Master Chen, these things are for you, I have written the purpose of them inside, and I just took them out for auction. ”
As he spoke, he threw Chen Wan'er a storage bag. When Chen Wan'er explored, she found that the space inside was not large, but the things inside attracted Chen Wan'er's attention. I couldn't help but ask with some uncertainty,
"This, Li Gongzi really plans to put it up for auction? Is this, some, some too gluttonous?"
Looking at Chen Wan'er's reflection, Li Wenwen said a little speechlessly,
"Uh, Pavilion Master Chen is all gadgets, there is nothing gluttonous Well, please take it directly to the auction. Of course, if you like something, you can also stay by yourself.
However, I think that since this auction is a large-scale auction held every three years by your Immortal Spirit Business Alliance, if these things are auctioned, it will also have some benefits for Pavilion Master Chen, as for how to operate it, it depends on Pavilion Master Chen himself. ”
"This ...... Let me think about it. Chen Wan'er did not directly answer what Li asked, after all, the stakes in this are not just a few words that can be explained. Then Chen Wan'er took Li Wenwen and the two came to the place where the auction was held.
This is a building behind the main building of the Fairy Spirit Pavilion, from the outside it is only three floors, Chen Wan'er did not take Li Wendao and the two to walk in directly from the main entrance, but took Li Wendao and the two directly to the box on the third floor from another passage.
If you don't go directly to the main entrance, I guess you don't want to cause a stir. After all, Chen Wan'er, the master of the Fairy Spirit Pavilion, personally brought people to participate in the auction, which would still cause some sensation to some extent.
The overall decoration of the box where Chen Wan'er took Li Wenwen and the two came to is quite elegant, with most of the style composed of black and white ink. Coupled with some flower and plant embellishments, it gives people a sense of tranquility.
One of the walls of the box is transparent, a glass that has been treated by the refiner, so that you can look out from the inside, but you can't see the inside from the outside. This is to protect the identity of the guests in these boxes to the greatest extent possible so as not to cause some unnecessary trouble.
Li Wendao looked at the three of them in this box, Li Wenwen couldn't help asking,
"Why don't you see Mr. Shangguan? Don't they want to participate?"
Hearing Li's question, Chen Wan'er replied with a smile,
"The head of the Shangguan family naturally came to participate, but I arranged them in other boxes. This is to ask Li Gongzi for forgiveness, after all, although you and the head of the Shangguan family are also familiar, but after all, they are not a force, and the boxes must be arranged separately according to the rules. ”
Chen Wan'er's explanation also made it clear to Li Wendao instantly, this arrangement is mainly to show respect for every force. Otherwise, some forces have a box, and some forces have a box. Even if these forces don't care about this.
However, it is inevitable that there will be some well-intentioned people who take advantage of this to cause trouble and then stir up disputes. Thinking about a box in such a force naturally solves this problem, and after figuring this out, Li Wendao was relieved.
"Pavilion Master Chen has thought too much, so naturally he knows the intention of Pavilion Master Chen to arrange it like this, so how can he blame Pavilion Master Chen?"
"Giggles, Li Gongzi doesn't mind, just wait for the slave family to preside over the auction, so he will retire first. If you have any orders, please greet them directly. ”
"Okay, Pavilion Master Chen will go and get busy first. ”
After that, Chen Wan'er took the lead and left. Indeed, today is the triennial large-scale auction of the Immortal Spirit Business Alliance, and Chen Wan'er, the pavilion master of this branch, naturally has a lot of things to deal with. It is normal for the two of them to have no outburst and have been accompanying Li and asked.
After Chen Wan'er left, Li Wenwen and the two began to observe the layout of the auction venue. I saw that the venue as a whole still has a sense of splendor.
A high platform was erected in the hall on the first floor, presumably for auction, and at a distance of about two feet from this high platform, dense seats began to be placed, and it seemed that this should be the most ordinary auctioneer, or the place where some warriors with little power were.
And the second floor began to be a box, but it looked much smaller than the box where Li Wendao was on the third floor, and when he arrived on the third floor, Li Wendao took a cursory look, and there were only eight boxes.
There is one between himself and Su Xinyu, there is one from Shangguan Yunlong, and there should be another one if he wants to come to the City Lord's Mansion. I don't know where the remaining five are, but I think they are some big forces. What can make the Immortal Pavilion pay attention to it, then at least it is a four-grade force, and it may even be a five-grade immortal sect. But these didn't have much to do with Li Wendao, so I didn't care about it.
Although there was still some time before the auction began, the chairs on the first floor were almost full. Although the personnel are noisy, it can even be said to be a little noisy. But no one dares to be too presumptuous.
Because no one knows what kind of person is sitting next to him, and he doesn't know if his behavior will provoke the big guy in the box on the second and third floors. If it is not good to anger them, although it is said that it is not allowed to do it in the Fairy Pavilion.
But the Fairy Pavilion can protect them for a while, but it can't protect them for a lifetime. But anyone who can do it in the box, it is really easy to kill them, this is the crushing of class. There is a lack of resources for casual cultivation, and there is no orthodox inheritance, so it is naturally slightly weaker than these sects and families.
Although everyone is almost there now, although these people are in a hurry, they are still not too presumptuous. Just when everyone was anxiously waiting, Chen Wan'er slowly walked to the high platform.
Although there are no words yet, the natural charm of the natural charm of the innate charm directly attracts everyone's hearts, and when Chen Wan'er does not deliberately restrain herself, this kind of charm really gives people a feeling that both men and women can eat.
Chen Wan'er's appearance made many people's eyes show a greedy look, but most of them were secretive, for fear of offending the Fairy Spirit Pavilion because of this.
But that's just for those on the first and second floors. For the people in the box on the third floor, they didn't care so much about the Immortal Pavilion or even the Immortal Merchant Alliance behind the Immortal Pavilion. In one of the private rooms on the third floor, there were a total of five men in black, but only one of the young men sat there, and the other four stood on the side.
The seated young man's face was sickly pale, and his skin was even a little shriveled, and the protruding eye bones gave people an extremely uncomfortable feeling.
In particular, the eerie feeling of the five people being the same makes this box seem to be like a ghost domain. The young man sitting greedily looked at Chen Wan'er on the high platform, and said gloomily,
"Tsk, I didn't expect to come out this time to meet such a superlative, it's really rare. I heard the group of wastes say that they found the best in the world, but in the end, Mao didn't see one, but the one in front of me made me very interested. ”
The young man's voice was as shrill as a vulture's hiss, and it seemed like it was about to get goosebumps. But looking at the expressionless four people behind him, it was as if they didn't care at all, one of the men in black said.
"Ho ho, since the young master is interested, why don't you let me go down and take her captive for the enjoyment of the son?"
After listening to the words of the man in black, the young man said disapprehantly,
"Hehe, Ghost Jia, you are dedicated to cultivation, and you are too rigid about this kind of love and love. For this kind of stunning beauty in the world, it is not beautiful to be directly captured. It's better to conquer her heart first, and then conquer her people. If it really doesn't work, it's not too late to use it, hahahaha. ”
For the young man's words, the ghost armor said very approvingly,
"Yes, the young master is right, I think that according to the status of the young master, this ordinary person must be directly upside down. Why do you need to spend any effort on the young master? ”
"Haha, okay, well said, what you said is exactly what I wanted, young master, I should be rewarded!"
Chen Wan'er didn't care about the eyes of these people in the audience, anyway, she had been used to it for so many years. He cleared his throat and spoke,
"Hehe, welcome to my Immortal Pavilion, as for the specific purpose of everyone's visit, the slave family will not say more here. It's no nonsense, let's get straight to the point. ”
For Chen Wan'er's straightforward opening remarks, many people present agreed very much, everyone was originally here to participate in the auction, not to listen to you, it was just right to get into the main topic earlier.
As he spoke, a waiter brought the first auction item, lifted the red cloth on it, and found that there was a rather gorgeous necklace inside, and then Chen Wan'er opened her mouth to introduce.
"The name of this thing is called Mingyue with tears, and it is a necklace created by Master Shi Longhe, the top top foundry master of Fujian. The main body of the necklace is a large eastern pearl of the South China Sea, made of various gems and mythril, although it is just an ordinary piece of jewelry, but both the material and the workmanship are quite extraordinary, it is a gift to the sweetheart's top product, the starting price is 5,000 taels of silver, and the price increase shall not be less than 100 taels each time!"
Subsequently, the whole audience began to bid fiercely.
"Five thousand taels!"
"Five thousand five hundred taels!"
"Six thousand taels!"
......
"Eight thousand taels!"
"Ten thousand taels!"
In the end, this necklace was called to double the reserve price, and I have to admit that this necklace also caused a boom in the auction, but most of the bidders for this necklace were mortals sitting in the hall on the first floor. The people on the second and third floors basically don't care about these worldly things, what they care about is those natural treasures, pill exercises, or divine weapons.
Only these things that can improve their own strength can make them care about something, and as for these things outside their bodies, they are not of much use to them, so they naturally will not bid.
Most of the items that were auctioned were needed by mortals, although there were also some weapons or potions. However, these things have no value in the eyes of Li Wendao and others, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are garbage.
However, although Li Wendao and others can't look down on it, there are always people who need these things. It's like a fifteen-hundred-year-old mountain ginseng, although it is also a good medicinal material, but not to mention for a person like Li Wendao, who was born in an immortal sect, even those disciples of ordinary sects are a little disdainful.
You must know that the money used to bid on this old ginseng is enough to buy some good potions, but this thing is a rare treasure for those who need it. Old ginseng has the effect of hanging life, for mortals, there is nothing like this effect, if used well, it can handle many things. So this also made the old ginseng they couldn't look down on finally sold for a high price of 200,000 taels.
What can you do with 200,000 taels? You can buy a sixth-order murderer, at least it is equivalent to a fifth-grade master's personal protection, but in the end, it was used to buy this garbage ......
In this era of prevalent cultivation, ordinary medicinal materials such as ginseng and lingzhi are garbage-like existences in the eyes of these cultivators, because these can no longer improve their cultivation.
Take the current Li Wendao as an example, if you want to play a role in a nine-rank master, it will take at least five thousand years of ginseng to have some effect, but if it is a one-leaf nine-leaf Tianxin grass, it only needs a hundred years.
The difference in time and effect is so great that it's the best of times and the worst of times. Old things are being discarded and replaced by things that can help them.
Li asked, and the two of them were sitting in the box on the third floor, although they did not participate in the bidding, but it was quite interesting to just watch them bid.
Watching them earn money for one thing, some even go out of the bank. This made Li ask and the two couldn't help but sigh at the charm of the auction. You know, there are a lot of things here that end up selling for far more than the value of the things themselves. Some are even more than a dozen times larger, and the reason for this is because of the role of auctions.
At the same time, Li Wenwen also found that there is another Feng Shui Bureau here that swallows the sky, although the gluttony cannot swallow the sky, but it can greatly devour the resources between heaven and earth, but this also requires a process of digestion.
Thinking that this gluttonous devouring heaven game was arranged by Sui Sanxiu, and with the Tianling Na Cai Bureau outside, the impact of feng shui on the auction results can be maximized. In addition, the auction held at intervals gave the gluttony a certain amount of time to digest, so that the gluttony could grow healthily. In the end, more and more money was raised. The greater the impact on the auction, the more the Fairy Pavilion will earn. This made Li Wenwen can't help but admire Sui Sanxiu's thoughts.
