Chapter 24: The Auction (1)
It is worth mentioning that the monks who received the invitation to this auction were all existences above the ninth level of Qi cultivation, and the monks in the early and middle stages of Qi cultivation simply did not have enough financial resources to compete for these lots.
"The time of the auction is tonight, and the venue is set on the top floor of the Crane Tower, don't be late!" Zhao Peng advised.
Guanhe Tower is the only restaurant in Fang City, registered under the Yiyan Sword Sect, selling delicacies made of all kinds of demon beast spiritual materials, not only delicious, but also has all kinds of wonderful uses for monks, but it is very valuable, not ordinary Qi cultivation can afford to enjoy.
Zhang Yuanhao actually wanted to go to Guanhelou to taste a delicious food for a long time, he had no appetite in the door, and took a Bigu Dan on weekdays, which can ensure that he is not hungry or thirsty for half a month, although he is wonderful, but he has not felt the taste of meat for many years, and his mouth is dull.
With Long Xin, the master and apprentice walked all the way, and when they arrived at the Crane Tower, it was close to noon.
Although monks are all extraordinary people, they also have seven emotions and six desires, especially the desire of the tongue, which is common to ordinary people, and even more so to monks. Mortals cook sheep and slaughter cows, cook wine and food, and monks eat dragons and phoenixes, swallow turtles, and heaven and earth spiritual objects, all of which can enter the belly.
Crossing the crowd, you can see the crane tower standing majestically from a distance, in the square market that rows up one after another, it is like standing out from the flock, carved beams and painted buildings, there are beauties beating drums and blowing sheng, there are warriors drawing swords and dancing, all into the painting wall. As soon as the two gold-inlaid doors opened, the right book "Guests in the Heavens" and the left to "Guests in the Guests". From time to time, well-dressed monks would enter in groups, and some monks would come out satisfied.
Holding Long Xin, Zhang Yuanhao strode into the two gates. There is a burst of fragrant aroma, not like the smell of oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, but it is full of aura, which makes people have the meaning of feasting.
Looking at the monk of the sixth layer of Qi again, holding a plate in each hand, the boundless aroma wafted from the two plates. When I got off the table, I saw a plate of meat and vegetables.
"Steamed scorpion meat, oil poured green lettuce, guest officers slow to use!"
As the monk announced the name of the dish, Long Xin's little head twisted to that side, his eyes slippery as he looked at the two dishes with good color and fragrance, and swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
Zhang Yuanhao smiled when he saw it, this clamshell is just a demon beast at the early stage of qi training, and Qingbi lettuce is just the most inferior spirit crop, so let the little girl be greedy like this.
The Crane Tower has a total of seven floors, the first and second floors are for the early stage of Qi training, the third and fourth floors are for the middle stage of Qi training, and the fifth and sixth floors are open for monks in the late stage of Qi training and the completion of Qi training, as for the seventh floor, it is rumored that only the monks of the foundation realm are entertained. But now it has been requisitioned and used to hold auctions.
Zhang Yuanhao slightly revealed a little aura of qi training, and he took Long Xin's little hand and was led all the way up to the sixth floor by a beautiful monk.
Although the Crane Tower was only built by mortals in Beilong City, it is also ingenious and ingenious. The six floors are spacious, and the environment is even more elegant and chic.
At present, there are only three people on the sixth floor dining, Zhang Yuanhao swept his spiritual sense, and found that it was just three gray qi luck, one of whom was a complete Qi practitioner, so he took a little more look.
Sitting at the table by the window, Zhang Yuanhao opened a Nanmu menu on the table, swept it roughly, ordered three or four dishes, and handed it to Long Xin, asking her to order at will.
By the time the two of them finished ordering, more than a quarter of an hour had passed. Zhang Yuanhao was not in a hurry, but Long Xin was a little hungry, and as soon as the food came up, he hurriedly put the food into his mouth, and he was intoxicated with food.
The dishes in the Crane Tower are not bad, and the price is moderate, the two of them ordered a total of six dishes, and they only spent a few hundred spirit stones. Zhang Yuanhao didn't care at all, but when he saw Long Xin, he was a little distressed, and he couldn't help but sigh.
After eating a meal for nearly half an hour, the two walked around the city for a while, and when they approached the unitary, they returned to the crane tower.
The Lingguang Sect's Dharma Protectors were already waiting for Zhang Yuanhao's master and apprentice here, and as soon as the two arrived, they went up to the seventh floor together. As soon as the monk in the late stage of Qi cultivation at the door saw that the Lingguang Sect had come with jade slips, he respectfully let them go.
The seven floors are not large, and they can accommodate one or two hundred people, but they have been temporarily arranged into a small auction hall, and dozens of nanmu chairs sewn with brocade are neatly placed at moderate intervals. The temporary arrangement of the auction table is also several zhang square, and the wooden planks on the table are made of century-old ironwood, which is also very exquisite.
At this moment, there were already four or five monks sitting on the seat, Zhang Yuanhao recognized a few people inside, and knew that this was a small sect called Hengxu Sect in Cangfeng Country.
Because he brought Long Xin here, Zhang Yuanhao asked people to add a seat beside him. This little girl has extraordinary eyesight, and she may not be able to see anything good.
Soon after, the monks came in droves. Zhang Yuanhao looked around, greeted people politely, and found that he knew quite a lot of people.
Suddenly, his spiritual sense moved, and a burly figure led more than a dozen people to appear at the entrance of the seventh floor. Behind him, a round turquoise seed marked his extraordinary luck.
"Iron Corpse Sect Zhong Hui!"
Zhang Yuanhao was shocked, and glanced at Zhao Peng beside him, with a solemn look in his eyes.
In Cangfeng Country, in addition to the two major religions with the ancestor of Jiedan, there are six sects with similar strengths, and the Lingguang Sect and the Iron Corpse Sect are two of them. Moreover, both factions are located in the northern part of Cangfeng Country, and there are disputes and entanglements of interests from time to time.
Zhang Yuanhao looked at Zhong Hui, he had fought with this person, and he was defeated under this person's natal iron corpse within a hundred moves, and almost died in Huangquan, and now he still has palpitations when he thinks about it.
The three major Qi exercises of the Lingguang Sect were successful, and the two presents were Zhang Yuanhao and Liu Haoran. Wu Qian missed the auction because of his cultivation of spells, which was quite unfortunate.
Zhong Hui took the lead alone, sitting in the reserved position next to the cultivators of the Lingguang Sect, and the cultivators of the Iron Corpse Sect also sat down one after another.
With the arrival of the Iron Corpse Sect's cultivators, the auction has officially kicked off. A female cultivator with a beautiful face walked slowly to the auction table, tapped the auction hammer, and her voice was like a yellow bird's soft cry: "Thank you monks for coming to participate in the auction jointly organized by my Duobao Chamber of Commerce and Beilong City in your busy schedule, and the little girl Gu Yaxuan is here to thank you!"
Zhang Yuanhao saw that this woman was only twenty-eight years old, but she had the cultivation in the late stage of qi training, and after further investigation, he found that she was really a cyan luck person. Thinking of this person's surname and self-revealed identity, I couldn't help but be secretly surprised.
Beilong City is nothing, it is only equivalent to a stronghold of the Yi Yan Sword Sect. But the Duobao Chamber of Commerce is different, this is an organization founded by a strong man on the Qingxuan Continent, Duobao Zhenjun, which is spread all over the continent, and Duobao Zhenjun is surnamed Gu. Most of this woman is the descendant of Duobao Zhenjun, but I don't know if it's a descendant or a collateral line.
