Chapter 150: Bidding
Outside the Golden Cloud Pavilion, a blue light flew from a distance and landed on the stairs on the side of the palace, revealing the figure of a bearded man, who was none other than Han Li after changing his appearance.
He looked at the majestic palace in front of him, and strode towards the temple gate.
On both sides of the temple gate, there were many black-shirted attendants, receiving every monk who came.
"Is this senior here to attend the auction meeting?" It seemed that Han Li walked over, and a black-shirted attendant immediately greeted him with a smile.
"I'm not here today to participate in the auction conference, what else can I do?" Han Li frowned and said with some displeasure.
"Please don't blame the seniors, this auction is a little different from previous years, so the juniors need to explain to you. The black-shirted attendant said with a smile.
"What do you mean by that?" Han Li asked.
"The number of people participating in the auction this time is much more than in previous years, in order to control the number of people and eliminate some guests who are just watching the excitement and have no intention of auctioning, the conference stipulates that those who participate in the auction need to pay a spirit stone, which is regarded as an admission fee. However, the seniors only need to auction any treasure at auction, and we will return the spirit stone to you later. The black-shirted squire said respectfully.
"Oh, and this kind of regulation, how many spirit stones do you need?" Han Li said with some disapproval.
The black-shirted squire was about to speak.
"Presumptuous! How can you talk to your seniors like this, retreat!" a middle-aged man who looked like a steward walked over quickly and drank away the black-shirted attendant.
Han Li glanced at the middle-aged man, who was a Merge Stage Cultivator.
"The people under me are not sensible, please don't blame the seniors, these rules are for ordinary guests. A True Immortal Realm Great Cultivator like his predecessor can enter from a special VIP channel, and naturally he doesn't have to pay any spirit stones. But it's the same here, please inside. The middle-aged man said respectfully.
Hearing this, Han Li couldn't help but smile dumbly.
It seems that no matter where you are, you are respected by your strength, and your cultivation is higher than others, and the treatment you get is very different.
Thinking so, he nodded slightly at the other party and stepped into the golden hall.
He didn't feel anything from the outside, but as soon as he entered the hall, he felt that the space inside was really amazing.
The hall is divided into three floors, and the bottom floor is an extremely large hall, which is almost like a huge square.
At the front was a large auction table, which was still empty.
There are countless seats around the hall, in the shape of a staircase, and most of them are already seated at this moment, and it looks a little crowded and noisy.
"This is for ordinary monks, seniors, please come with me, there is a special VIP seat on the second floor. The middle-aged man said, leading Han Li down the stairs next to him to the second floor.
Hundreds of seats are sparsely placed here, the seats are wide and the spacing between them is quite wide, and there are some fruits and spiritual tea on the coffee table next to it, which is completely different from the treatment in the hall below.
On these seats, there were already quite a few people sitting at this moment, all of them True Immortal Realm cultivators, and Han Li even vaguely saw a few people he had seen in the City Lord's Mansion that day.
Under the middle-aged man's beckoning, Han Li also sat down in one seat.
From here, the view is excellent, and the auction table below is clearly visible, which gives you a sense of superiority compared to the monks in the hall below.
Han Li nodded, then looked up at the third floor and asked, "I wonder who the guests on the third floor are?"
On the third floor, there are separate rooms, and there are prohibitions, and the inside is not visible from the outside, and the treatment is obviously better than here on the second floor.
He wasn't upset that he wasn't invited to the third floor, just a little curious.
"The third floor is where the major island owners are located. The middle-aged man said.
Han Li sighed, withdrew his gaze, and didn't ask anything more.
The middle-aged man was quite busy, and recruited a beautiful maid to serve beside him, and he quit with a confession.
Han Li didn't care about any of this, and sat quietly, waiting for the auction to begin.
As time passed, the hall was quickly filled, and there were hardly any seats on the second floor.
More than an hour later.
Bang Bang Bang!
The sound of three grand bells rang out, echoing throughout the hall.
The noisy venue immediately fell silent, and an old man with a white beard and a red face walked up to the auction table, seemingly as the auctioneer of the conference.
"Master Wen!"
There was a buzz in the hall.
Han Li's expression moved slightly, could this red-faced old man be Wen Hua? It is rumored that one of the three major earth-level Dan masters of Black Wind Island is also the guest of the Lord of Black Wind Island.
"Hehe, today is the largest auction conference in the Black Wind Sea once in a century, it is rare for you to come to the auction, Wen is very honored as today's auctioneer. The red-faced old man raised his voice, and his loud voice echoed in the venue.
After the old man's voice sounded, the noisy discussion also stopped abruptly, and the scene became extremely silent.
"There are many old faces present, of course, some friends are coming to participate in the auction for the first time, Wen is here, or let's talk about the rules of the conference first. Auction bidding, in the unit of the best spirit stone, if there are not enough spirit stones, you can use immortal yuan stones, according to the standard of one to one hundred, or mortgage the item, as for the value of the mortgage, it is judged by these three. After a pause, Wenhua continued.
As soon as the words fell, three monks stepped onto the auction table in fluttering clothes, but it was an old man with white eyebrows dressed in gray, a strong man in a blue shirt, and a middle-aged woman with a still demeanor, all of whom were true fairyland cultivators.
Without saying a word, the three of them came to a long table next to the auction and sat down at the same time.
"These three must be known by many people, as the elders of the Changxing Chamber of Commerce, the Xuanyue Chamber of Commerce, and the Taibai Chamber of Commerce, they are well-informed, and there will be no favoritism in the valuation, so you can be absolutely assured. As for security, fighting is strictly forbidden in Black Wind City, and once discovered, it will be severely punished! Okay, let's not delay everyone's time anymore, and the auction will begin!" Wen Hua briefly introduced a few words, waved his hand, and announced.
I saw a black-clothed wrestler walking up with a huge white box, and after opening it, there was a red spar inside, the size of a human head, with some flame-shaped patterns on the surface, even if he was hundreds of zhang away, he could still feel the amazing fluctuations of fire spiritual power emanating from it.
"This is a whole piece of top-grade fire-patterned jade, it is the best spiritual material for refining top-grade spirit treasures, the starting price is twenty top-grade spirit stones, and each increase must not be less than one top-grade spirit stone!" Wen Hua said in a loud voice.
"Twenty top-grade spirit stones!"
"Twenty-one pieces"
"Twenty-five!"
......
There was a buzz in the venue below, and there were exclamations, and many people's eyes immediately lit up, and someone immediately made a bid.
Han Li sat on his chair and looked at everything below, his expression calm.
Although this piece of fire-patterned jade is a good thing, it is not yet in his vision.
The price of Fire Pattern Brilliant Jade soared all the way, and soon rose to a high price of fifty top-grade spirit stones, and finally no one continued to bid.
"Deal!" Wen Hua announced the result, a smile on his face.
The fact that the first auction item was able to fetch this high price was a bit beyond his expectations, which is a good sign.
It didn't take long for the second auction item to be taken, but it was a 30,000-year-old spirit grass, and it was finally auctioned for a high price.
Time passed little by little, and the auction items were brought up like flowing water.
They are all kinds of materials, pills, and some spiritual treasures, although they are quite precious, but they are obviously prepared for the following combined, Mahayana monks.
Han Li looked a little distracted, and the True Immortal Cultivators on the second floor rarely made a bid.
Two or three hours passed quickly, and the value of the auctioned items began to gradually rise, and some good treasures began to appear, including many high-quality Tongtian spirit treasures, spirit treasure pills used during the catastrophe, and some advanced pills, etc., which attracted the true immortal monks on the second floor to start to be impatient and bid one after another.
Not long after, another auction item was carried up, but it was a huge jade, showing a dark red, and blood-like red lines could be faintly seen on the spar, vaguely forming a fire phoenix pattern, exuding strong fluctuations in the law of fire.
"The next treasure is this phoenix blood flame jade crystal, which is a fire phoenix true spirit in the late stage of the true immortal after it falls, and it is transformed by a ball of essence blood in its body, containing a trace of fire attribute law, which is an excellent main material for refining the Heavenly Immortal Weapon! The starting price is two hundred top-grade spirit stones, and each time the price increases, it must not be less than ten top-grade spirit stones. Wen Hua's eyes first slowly looked around, and after seeing that everyone's eyes were focused on the jade, he introduced slowly.
Han Li's heart moved, the power of the law contained in this phoenix blood flame jade crystal was not bad, even he had some urge to buy it, but he didn't have a lot of spirit stones on his body, and after a little groaning, he still pressed it down.
"Two hundred and ten"
"Two hundred and forty top-grade spirit stones"
"I'll give you two hundred and eighty!"
"Three hundred!"
There are many people who value this Phoenix Blood Flame Jade Crystal, but they are basically the True Immortal Cultivators on the second floor, and even if those on the first floor are red-eyed, they can no longer afford such a price.
The price of the Phoenix Blood Flame Jade Crystal quickly climbed to four hundred and fifty, which was reported by a bald man in a red robe on the second floor.
As soon as this price came out, the second floor was also a lot quieter, and some people who were originally eager to try it stopped bidding.
Seeing this, the bald man showed a hint of joy on his face.
"Five hundred!"
At this moment, a voice came from a box on the third floor, quite erratic, sounding like a female voice, and the price was increased by fifty top-grade spirit stones at once.
The red-robed Sanxian was stunned at first, and a trace of anger flashed in his eyes, but after a change of expression on his face, the hand he had just raised slowly put it down, and he did not continue to increase the price.
"Five hundred top-grade spirit stones, deal!" Wen Hua's face was overjoyed and he announced the result.
Feng Xueyan Yujing was quickly taken down and sent to the box on the third floor by a special person.
Han Lichao glanced at it and withdrew his gaze, feeling that the price was a bit expensive.
