Chapter 46: Before the Auction

"What grade of semi-underworld artifacts are being auctioned on your behalf?"

Regarding the matter of this refining master, Deng An had already heard some things on the road, so naturally he no longer aroused interest, but the matter of the sale of semi-immortal weapons made him a little moved.

"Naturally, only medium-grade and above semi-underworld artifacts are eligible to be auctioned, and if it is a lower-grade semi-immortal artifact, the transaction price is not enough to pay the intermediary fee. ”

The young man couldn't understand Deng An's intentions, and there was some doubt on his face.

"I have a half-dead artifact here, and I don't know if I can get it at auction. ”

Deng An smiled slightly, and took out a two-foot-long white jade-colored beast bone from his soul body, which was not long ago, he used a strange ghost fire to re-forge the beast bone semi-underworld.

"Is the embryo of this semi-immortal artifact a beast bone?" The young meditation cultivator saw the color of the semi-immortal artifact, his face changed greatly, and his expression when he occasionally looked at Deng An also became strange.

Deng An frowned, and asked puzzledly: "It is indeed a demon beast and beast bone, can't you participate in the auction?" He didn't have much confidence in the fact that he had processed a half-dark artifact.

"Yes! Of course you can!" After the young cultivator was stunned, he affirmed it repeatedly, and then asked puzzledly, "Daoist friends are really willing to sell this semi-immortal weapon?"

Seeing that the young man was a little unconvinced, Deng An couldn't say that he had eliminated it himself, so he casually found an excuse and explained: "I fell in love with an attack spell that required a lot of snow spirit leaves, and it was difficult to get together for a while, and I was worried that I would miss the opportunity, so I had to sell it first." ”

The young cultivator suddenly said, "I see. Judging from the appearance alone, this semi-dark weapon can be classified as a medium-grade artifact, and it must not be easy to obtain it with the cultivation of Taoist friends. If it is handed over to the store for auction, only the intermediary fee of two snow spirit leaves will be charged, and after the auction is over, it can be settled, and the store has paid the guarantee fee, and you can rest assured that you can store the items. ”

Regarding the guarantee fee, Deng An had heard in Qianqiao Peak that the managers of these gathering points, in addition to charging management fees from ordinary merchants, would also charge guarantee fees from merchants who operated consignment businesses to prevent them from operating fraudulently and affecting the reputation of the gathering points.

Deng An did not hesitate at all, and handed over the half-immortal weapon to the other party.

"Yes, what a pity!"

After taking the beast bone semi-underworld weapon, he carefully stroked the surface, felt the extraordinariness of the material, and couldn't stop nodding in admiration, and then, he shook his head repeatedly, I don't know if it was a pity that Deng An sold this semi-underworld weapon, or if the semi-underworld weapon was defective.

After the young man's meditation was identified, he handed Deng An a wooden talisman.

The surface of this wooden talisman is engraved with strange patterns, Deng An didn't understand it after looking at it for a long time, it is estimated that it is a secret pattern used for anti-counterfeiting, and I am afraid that only young cultivators will understand.

Deng An returned to the original tree hole, seized the time to absorb the yin qi, and after waiting for half a day, he saw that it was already dark, so he walked towards the middle of the black pine forest.

Because the auction is about to start, the meditation in the forest is gradually increasing, they are in groups of threes and twos, chatting while walking, and when they meet someone they know, they don't forget to say hello, which makes the forest more lively, like a mortal market. It was the first time since Deng An became a ghost that he had seen so many cultivators gathered in one place, and there was not much wariness between them.

The more you go to the middle of the black pine forest, the more intense the yin qi becomes, except for some tree holes in the innermost part reserved for internal personnel, the rest of the places with high yin qi concentration are all rented out to outsiders, Deng An felt it carefully, it was slightly worse than the cave at the bottom of Qianjiao Peak.

When Deng An was about to arrive at his destination, the scenery in front of him suddenly opened up, and the gray-black pine trees disappeared together, revealing a circular clearing with a diameter of about 1,000 zhang. The ground here is pitch black, as if it has been grilled at a high temperature.

In the center of this clearing, there is a black stone platform. The black stone platform is not large, with a diameter of only more than ten zhang and a height of less than two meters. To Deng An's surprise, the black stone platform and the ground belong to the same body, as if it is a round table carved out with a large hand.

At this moment, there was only a thin old man on the stone platform, and it was before entering the black pine forest that he was teaching the strong man the condensation period meditation. He seemed to be very impatient, looking in a certain direction in the forest from time to time, as if waiting for something important to appear.

Deng An subconsciously looked at the meditation around the stone platform, and soon found a strong man surnamed Xin with an ugly face, he was discussing something with the one-eyed man, judging from the fact that he secretly looked at the stone platform from time to time, the topic of discussion was mostly related to the thin old man.

After Deng An approached the Black Stone Terrace, he chose an inconspicuous corner and blended into a group of meditation cultivators whose cultivation was slightly lower than him, anyway, he didn't come to participate in the auction, he just wanted to open his eyes and understand the value of his semi-immortal weapon by the way.

Since then, there have been meditation cultivators coming one after another, including two meditation cultivators of the condensation stage, and they all stood on the stone platform as if they had agreed in advance.

The two souls of the meditation cultivators were both condensed like substance, and the surface of their bodies glowed with black light, one was a man dressed as a Taoist priest, and the other was a woman with a disproportionate face and muscles.

The thin old man looked at the man dressed as a Taoist priest, his expression twitched slightly, and he said with a smile: "Kun Daoyou, don't come to harm?" The old man heard that Daoyou has been closing the middle stage of the condensation form, but I didn't expect the old man's spiritual weapon to alarm you. ”

The Taoist monk smiled coldly, and said in a deep voice: "Whether you can get the artifact or not, Kun didn't take it to heart, and whether Master Zijin came or not had nothing to do with Kun. Kun heard that Pang Daoyou was coming to participate in the auction, so he rushed over to join in the fun, at least he could raise the price for Pang Daoyou, if this artifact arrived in Pang Daoyou's hands, Kun's finger peak would not be forever peaceful. ”

Such a straightforward content makes it clear that you have to work against the thin old man.

The thin old man was stunned, but because of the strength of the old ghost of the black pine forest, he didn't dare to go wild, endured the anger in his chest, and said angrily: "Kun Daoyou, why do you say this, we rely on each other and rely on each other, if we were to change to Pang, we would never do such a stupid thing." ”

Kun didn't want to make the same mistake again, and completely pinned the safety of Yizhifeng on Pang Daoyou. The Taoist priest's words only began at the beginning, obviously meaning something.

When the thin old man heard this, his face suddenly became gloomy, and he had a faint tendency to run rampant.

"Why are the two of you so angry, everything is precious to harmony, who can auction this artifact, it is not more powerful than the tongue, tonight's auction is only about financial resources, whoever has more snow spirit leaves in his hand, it will belong to whom, I think Master Zijin, will also have this view. ”

The ugly girl, who had been watching the two ghosts arguing and smiling silently, suddenly opened her mouth to persuade, and when she said the last sentence, she looked up at the woods on one side.

"Lan Daoyou is right!"

A middle-aged man's deep voice rumbled from afar.

The sound didn't seem to be loud, but the meditation cultivators around the Black Stone Platform felt a buzzing in their consciousness, and they could hear it very clearly, obviously the other party was infused with spiritual power when he spoke.

Almost as soon as the voice fell, four meditation cultivators flew from the pine trees, they were able to fly through the sky, and they obviously all had the strength of the condensation stage. Flying at the forefront was a burly man, judging from the aura he exuded, his cultivation was also the highest.

It was this big man who spoke up in favor of the ugly girl just now.

When the thin old man and the Taoist priest saw this ghost, their faces showed jealousy, and they consciously closed their mouths, not daring to argue anymore, and hugged their fists to each other from a distance.

A group of meditation cultivators under the black stone platform, seeing the new condensation stage meditation cultivators, immediately discussed, one like Deng An, who had recently come to the black pine forest, pointed to the big man, and quietly asked his companion beside him: "What a great majesty! Who is he?"

"Shhhhh His companion lowered his voice and communicated with consciousness.

Deng An was the closest to the two ghosts, so he heard it very clearly. "Later stage of condensation", he couldn't help but be stunned, it was really a figure who could deter one side, and with just one of his words, he made the two early stage condensation cultivators who were still in a-for-tat confrontation just now die down.

In mid-air, four rays of light flashed, and there were four more cultivators on the black stone platform. For the sake of the first big man, that is, Du Lao Ghost, after standing still, he looked around at the black stone platform and nodded slightly, as if he was quite satisfied with the number of meditation cultivators who came.

After the thin old man and the other three early meditators exchanged pleasantries with Old Ghost Du, they greeted an old man behind him whose head was out of proportion to his body.

Although the cultivation of this ghost is not as good as that of Du Lao Ghost, it is at least in the middle stage of condensation.

Deng An was puzzled, and the meditation cultivator next to him revealed the identity of this ghost. Master Zijin!The most famous refining master among the dozen or so meditation gathering points around.

"He is Master Zijin?" Deng Anxin was curious, and couldn't help but look at it a few more times, of course, just from his appearance, he couldn't see how the old man was different from other meditation cultivators.

However, when Deng An saw the first ghost on the left of Old Ghost Du, his expression suddenly changed greatly. Fortunately, he was very inconspicuous in the Meditation Group, and none of the ghosts noticed this change.

This meditation cultivation only conjured up a huge head, with long fangs and a cold light in his condensed eyes, which was particularly eye-catching among the seven meditation cultivators on the stage.

Deng An had never seen a grimace, and he still guessed the identity of the other party at a glance. He subconsciously had an urge to flee immediately, but the beast bone semi-immortal weapon had not yet been shot, if he gave up like this, it would be a big loss, not to mention, Grimace had never seen him, that is, he knew that he had killed the middle-aged cultivator, and how did he know that the murderer was under the stage.

Thinking of this, Deng An's panicked state of mind calmed down a lot.

About less than a stick of incense had passed, Du Lao Ghost announced the start of the auction, and the number of condensation stage meditation cultivators on the black stone platform had also increased from seven to eleven.

Due to the very small number of auxiliary cultivation resources for meditation, even if the scale of this auction is very large, the items brought for auction are still very pitiful, only Master Zijin's immortal weapon and a first-order demon beast's corpse demon bone can be regarded as the highlight of the auction.
