Volume 2 Xuanjing Chapter 194 Auction
Liu Ming sat in the corner of the main hall, looking coldly at the many cultivators in the main hall, his face was expressionless, but there was an extra gray cloak on his head, covering most of his face.
Half of the reason why he appeared here was naturally for a few auction items, and the other was that he was instructed by the owner of the money to sit here in case any accidents happened.
Of course, there will be things that someone will cause trouble, but it is still almost impossible.
Because the entire auction hall has long been densely packed with various legal systems by the Hundred Spirit Residence Array mages, even if the spirit master appears and is trapped, I am afraid that he will not be able to break the prohibitions here for a while.
What's more, for this auction, the proprietor not only transferred a group of guests from all over the country, but even borrowed more than ten spirit disciples from the Three Kings' Mansion, plus four teams of shadow guards.
Many of them were mixed in with Liu Ming. But most of the people still stood around the hall coldly, to deter some ill-intentioned people.
As time passed, when a slender sandalwood plant burned out in an incense burner on a high platform in front of the main hall, someone immediately gave an order, and the doors at several exits were slowly closed.
At this time, the old man took Bai Qinghai and the other four guests with a smile on his face, walked out of a side door behind the stone platform, and went up to the high platform in front of him in a hurry.
The old man's sleeves just flickered, and immediately after a flash of white light, the incense burner disappeared, and at the same time, a wooden table several feet long appeared out of thin air on the stone platform.
Seeing this, some cultivators let out a light "huh" in surprise, but most of them still had indifferent expressions.
Although generally speaking, things like storage talismans can only be manipulated by people above the spirit master realm. But there are always some special things that can avoid mana cultivation, such as the mutated storage talisman or Sumeru Pa that Liu Ming used before, which have extremely restrictive things.
The four of Bai Qinghai stood expressionlessly at the four corners of the stone platform. Whoever wants to rush up and make trouble must first pass the four of them.
Auctions in general. Naturally, it was necessary to find a person who was articulate to preside, but in this kind of auction conference that was full of cultivators, the person who presided over it needed a certain amount of strong strength, so the proprietor Qian chose the old man to preside.
Originally, the owner of Bailing Residence had also considered letting Liu Ming be in charge of this matter, and his current reputation was flourishing in Xuanjing, but naturally Liu Ming refused without hesitation.
"Who is the old man, I believe that many Taoist friends present should know a thing or two. It doesn't matter if you don't know it, you can just call it some old crowns. This time, the auction conference held by Bailingju was presided over by Zaixia. While this auction convention. This is the first time that our Bailingju has been held, but I believe that we will definitely be able to make everyone satisfied. Okay, I think you're all impatient to wait, Mian now announces that the auction will begin. After chatting a few words, he coughed lightly and announced that the auction had begun.
Although his voice was not loud, under the mana, it still made everyone in the hall hear it clearly.
At the same time, the side door of the stone platform in the rear opened again. Three graceful and beautiful women, each holding a silver tray covered with red satin, walked up to the high platform, and then respectfully placed them on the long table one by one.
The old man stepped forward in a hurry. The silk on the front silver plate was picked open, revealing a thick stack of pale yellow flags.
"The first auction item is this set of four-elephant vajra array flags. Hehe. I believe some Taoist friends have also heard of it. On the way to escort the auction items into Beijing, several guests in this residence were secretly attacked by some young people. As a result, these Keqing relied on this set of formation flags to resist the attacks of several times the enemy, and held out until the reinforcements arrived. So that they are safe and sound. So this set of flags was of great significance, and Old Husband put it up for auction as the first item of the auction meeting. Speaking of this, the old man paused for a moment, and consciously swept his gaze at everyone in the hall.
I saw that as soon as these words came out, it really caused some people to whisper, and many people showed interested expressions.
After all, this set of array flags has been tested in real combat, and although it takes many people to manipulate it, there are still many forces that are very interested in it.
Seeing this, the old man showed a satisfied look, believing that this thing should be able to fetch a good price, so he spoke again:
"A set of Four Elephant King Kong Array Flags, with a reserve price of 10,000 spirit stones, and each shouting price shall not be less than 1,000 spirit stones. Start bidding now!"
"10,000 Spirit Stones"
"Twelve thousand"
"Fifteen thousand"
......
As soon as the old man's voice fell, many people immediately shouted out.
In the blink of an eye, the price of this set of array flags approached 20,000 spirit stones.
As a result, the number of people who still bid was immediately greatly reduced, and only four or five people continued to compete persistently.
"Twenty-five thousand spirit stones," a somewhat hoarse voice finally pushed the price to a new level.
The other few people who were still scrambling immediately fell silent.
The Four Elephants Vajra Array can only be used for protection without the slightest attack power, and it still needs several people to manipulate it, and the price is already extremely high.
Although they felt pity, the auction had just begun, so they had no choice but to give up.
"Is there anyone else bidding, is there really no one left? Okay, a ...... Two...... Three, this set of four elephant vajra array flags belongs to this fellow Daoist. Daoyou can now go to the background to deliver the items. At some point, there was a small turquoise and crystal hammer in the old man's hand, and after knocking it down on the table, he announced the ownership of this set of array flags.
In the most prominent part of the main hall, a big man with a white mask stood out, led by a nearby attendant, and left the main hall through another side door nearby.
"The second auction item, the three giant wolf puppet beasts left outside by the Nine Tricks Sect, if there are Daoists who are proficient in puppet art and can skillfully manipulate them, each of them can have a strong strength no less than that of a mid-stage spirit disciple. After the crown veteran picked up the silk on the second silver plate, he immediately pointed to the three cyan balls on the plate and said with a smile.
Then he clapped his hands, and from behind the stone platform walked up a strange man who had been waiting there for a long time.
As soon as the man came to the stage, without saying a word, he grabbed one of the cyan balls, threw it on the ground, and then pinched it with one hand and rushed into the void.
"Rattle" sounded!
The cyan ball was transformed into a tall cyan giant wolf, its eyes flashing with blood, and it was extremely lifelike.
Then this giant wolf, under the control of the strange man, showed a far more flexible than ordinary people imagined, no matter how flying and biting, it was extremely ferocious, and even opened another mouth at the end, and also spewed out several green wind blades from the sky.
Many of the people in the main hall who originally didn't care about this were scattered, and when they saw this, they couldn't help but be a little moved.
However, in the eyes of Liu Ming, who had seen the real puppets manipulated by the disciples of the Nine Tricks Sect, he felt that the man's puppet technique was just ordinary, and it could not be compared with the core disciples of the Nine Tricks Sect at all.
After the performance, the strange man rushed at the giant wolf a little more, turned it back into a round ball and put it back on the silver platter, and silently retreated from the high platform.
"The three giant wolf puppets are auctioned separately, each head is three thousand spirit stones, and each increase in price must not be less than two hundred spirit stones. While the shocking expressions on the faces of many people in the hall had not faded, the crown elder seized the opportunity to start the auction of the three puppet wolves.
"Three Thousand Spirit Stones"
"Three thousand two hundred"
"Three thousand four hundred"
......
The competition between these three puppet beasts, stimulated by the performance just now, also seemed very hot, and they were auctioned off at different prices of 3,600 spirit stones, 3,800 spirit stones, and 4,200 spirit stones.
The price of the crowned old stinger was naturally quite satisfied, and the silk on the third tray was not in a hurry, revealing more than twenty gray-black tokens with strange patterns.
"Twenty Enlightenment Tokens, released by an organization that organized this Enlightenment Ceremony. If there are any juniors who want to become cultivators like me, but they can't enter the five major sects, this is the best choice. However, as explained in advance, this casual cultivation organization is also the first time that we have contacted Bailingju, and we are only responsible for helping them auction these tokens, and are responsible for informing them of the time and place of the opening ceremony, and are not responsible for anything else. Each token starts with 500 spirit stones, and the price of each token must not be less than 100 spirit stones. The auction begins!" "After only a brief introduction this time, the crown boss directly announced the start of the auction.
However, it is obvious that everyone in the hall is very familiar with the Kailing token, and most of them are surprised at first sight, and after the auction starts, the price has skyrocketed, and most of them are about a thousand spirit stones.
When Liu Ming saw this, he was also unaware.
The so-called Enlightenment Token is the same as the token he carried when he participated in the Enlightenment Ceremony of the Barbarian Ghost Sect, and they all represent a quota for participating in the Enlightenment Ceremony.
However, these tokens in the auction were not issued by the major sects, but by some loose cultivators who raised resources by themselves and quietly held an opening ceremony.
Due to the lack of resources and the lack of mana experience of the person presiding, this kind of spiritual opening ceremony is naturally far from being comparable to the ceremonies of several major sects regardless of the number of people who can participate and the probability of success, but it still provides the possibility for many qi refiners who ask themselves to have spiritual veins to become spirit disciples, so although the price is expensive, it is still sought after by countless qi refiners. I don't know how many casual practices have appeared.
At least now, the people in the main hall, I'm afraid that nine times out of ten, they can become spiritual disciples through this method.
After the twenty Kailing tokens were successfully snatched up, the smile on the face of the old man was a little more, and with a clap of his hands, three maids came up from the audience.
But this time, the silver plate held by the third woman in her hand was no longer covered, and it was all three pale red vials that were the same.
"The items auctioned below are believed to be the things that many Taoist friends dream of, and they are three true evil qi from the same evil pit!" said after the old man swept the three vials, his eyes also showed a hint of fiery.
(Hehe, the third chapter is finally done, we're not tired, good night everyone!) (To be continued......)
