Chapter 8: The Boy in White
After Ye Chen and Ye Wu walked into the auction, not only did they find that there were a lot of customers inside, but the most strange thing was that this auction was different from the auction venue setting that he had seen in modern civilization in his previous life. It turned out that this auction turned out to be a concentric circle model. But I don't know why I have to design it like this?Ye Chen thought to himself.
Ye Wu also looked at the inside of the auction with a surprised expression on the side, obviously coming to the auction site for the first time. Ye Chen asked Ye Wu if 100-year-old ginseng could really be found here? Ye Wu replied, "To be honest, I don't know. ”
Ye Chen wanted to find a seat first, and with the help of the person in charge of the auction, he found a place upstairs. However, after going upstairs, the spirit spirit in the dantian said: "Be careful, that unknown martial aura is around here." After Ye Chen heard Lingling's reminder, he immediately raised his vigilance. He looked around and found a young man dressed in white in the attic opposite him, only to see him drinking tea with a folding fan in his hand, but he had an awe-inspiring temperament.
Ye Chen then planned to make friends with the other party, so he walked to the attic opposite. Clenched his fists and said, "Childe, you are polite in Xia Yechen." The young man in white put down the teacup in surprise when he heard the name, and then responded politely: Childe is polite, please take a seat. How about drinking tea with Zaixia? Ye Chen readily agreed after sitting down. Ye Chen could finally take a closer look at the other party's face. I saw that the other party was obviously a man, but his body exuded a charming fragrance. It's really weird. Both of them seemed to have good tea, so the conversation was very speculative.
At this time, a middle-aged man came up downstairs, the other party's pace was calm and powerful, and the martial energy on his body was extremely impressive. The most characteristic thing is that the face is full of Zari's beard, which seems to be full of knives and guns. But when he saw the young man in white, his attitude was extremely respectful, and he didn't dare to slack off at all. Ye Chen guessed that the other party must have a lot of origin.
The middle-aged man seemed to want to say something to the young man in white, but seeing that the young man in white seemed to be very polite to Ye Chen, he didn't dare to be presumptuous. Ye Chen naturally saw the middle-aged man's thoughts, and said: Brother Tai, Ye has said goodbye, let's have tea together next time, the young man in white said: Brother Ye, the younger brother's surname is Bai, and I look forward to our next tea tasting.
Ye Chen then returned to his position, but as he left, he vaguely heard the middle-aged man say that everything was ready. This deepened his curiosity about the young man in white, and he couldn't help but fall into contemplation.
Ye Wu saw that Ye Chen had just thrown her down and ran away, and now after coming back, he fell into thinking again, thinking that he was very strange, and was about to ask him, but he heard a gong and drum, it turned out that the auction was finally about to start. At this time, Ye Chen also came out of his thoughts.
After the gongs and drums of the auction sounded, everyone began to return to their reserved seats one after another. After a while, a voice like a bell said: Thank you for coming to my Zhang's auction, I believe you will definitely find what you want in this auction. Now the auction has officially begun. Yes, this person is Zhang Hattian, the person in charge of the auction, it is said that his cultivation should be the second layer of martial arts, and a set of mixed yuan palms is very powerful.
As he spoke, the concentric circle mechanism activated. I saw that the auction items were placed on the square platform with concentric circles from the outside to the inside. The customers present, including Ye Chen, couldn't help but express their appreciation for the ingenuity of this mechanism. However, I heard a magnetic voice say: It is worthy of the mechanism designed by "Sailuban", even the peak of the martial artist cannot act rashly, and he can steal the auction items here. Everyone and Ye Chen felt strange about where this voice came from, but they found that this magnetic voice actually came from the white-clothed young man on the upper floor opposite Ye Chen.
Zhang Hattianzi was also surprised inexplicably, but he didn't expect that the setting of his auction would be easily broken by a young man in white. I couldn't help but glance at the young man in white.
The young man in white didn't expect that his small move would attract the attention of the audience. So he apologized: I'm sorry, everyone, but my favorite thing is to study mechanical techniques and the like, so I can't help but talk a lot. Ye Chen decided to help him and said, "Everyone, since Senior Zhang's organ is so powerful, we are not afraid of any accidents. Let's hurry up and auction it.
As a businessman, Zhang Haotian naturally recognized Ye Chen's identity a long time ago, so he said: Everyone, Ye Gongzi is right, the auction is important. Now let's take our first item, which is Celestial Silk. Celestial silk is the silk spit by the snow silkworm located on the snow-capped mountain of several kilometers, this silk thread is so soft that with the clothes it weaves, ordinary swords cannot hurt the body. The starting price is 200 copper coins.
Although the Heavenly Silk is powerful, it seems to be very ordinary in the Jianghu Continent, so it did not cause much reaction from everyone. Ye Chen felt incredible, because in the novels he had read in his previous life, the Heavenly Silk was undoubtedly one of the best treasures. The spirit spirit in Ye Chen's dantian said coldly: The martial arts and treasures you know are all very shallow things, and the magic of the Jianghu Continent is beyond your imagination. Ye Chendao: No matter how magical the Jianghu Continent is, I will build up some achievements.
Although the silk is ordinary, it is still a treasure for warriors who are afraid of death, and in the end, it was sold for three hundred copper coins and bought by a man surnamed Dong.
Zhang Hattian obviously expected the auction result of this item, so he just smiled and said: Continue to the second auction item, and be reborn. This medicine is inherently designed for those early bones to fail, increasing the chance of rebirth so that they can open their pulses. The auction starts at 400 copper coins. Sure enough, this elixir was just an elixir that could increase the ability of less, which caused those rich people with fat brains to spend a lot of money on it, and was finally bought by a rich man of Tianda in Fenglin Village for 2,000 copper coins.
Ye Chen saw that the few treasures he took were not clothes, weapons, or poisons. None of this was of interest to him. But it was already the seventh auction item, and the strange thing was that the young man in white opposite was still unmoved.
Zhang Hattian saw the first seven auction items, although they didn't sell for many excellent prices, he still said with a smile: Next, everyone, our last three treasures are the highlight of today, and these three pieces should not be auctioned at our small auction. However, due to some special reasons, this association has this honor. Now please come up with the eighth treasure - Xuanyin Heart Method.
Although this secret book is a low-level Xuanpin exercise, it can solve the obstacles to the cultivation of Xuanyin martial arts. Everyone knows that the biggest obstacle to Xuanyin martial arts is that if you can't deal with the cold qi in time when practicing. It is easy to cause problems with the power from time to time. This is very disadvantageous, and this exercise can completely solve this disadvantage. Therefore, the starting price is 5,000 copper coins.
Ye Chen couldn't help but look at his wallet when he heard this, and said to Lingling in his heart: What should I do, this eighth piece is so expensive, I can't afford it at all? Lingling replied coldly: What are you afraid of, if you can't afford it, you will grab it. Ye Chen also agreed with this view. However, many people below have begun to compete for this mental method. In the blink of an eye, the price of 8,000 copper coins was reached.
Suddenly, the magnetic young man in white spoke, and said, "Ten silver coins." This scared everyone. Because ten silver coins are ten thousand copper coins. Even rich people can't take it out easily, I really didn't expect that young man in white to be so rich. Still, a masked man in black replied: Twenty silver coins.
When Ye Chen heard this, he felt that the person who answered the bid seemed to be not good. Because he found that the man in black had been sitting downstairs with an old man in purple who had not spoken, but he had never paid for the bid before. It wasn't until the young man in white shouted that he started bidding. However, the young man in white snorted, "Thirty silver coins."
The man in black was really against the young man in white, and in the face of the young man in white's return price, he just said indifferently: "Fifty silver coins." "The rest of the people who need this exercise originally wanted to continue bidding, but saw that the price had risen to this point. plus seeing the-for-tat confrontation between these two people, so the idea of this secret book was terminated.
This secret seemed to be very important to the young man in white, so he said, "One hundred silver coins." Even Zhang Hatian thought it was incredible, because his auction record was only fifty silver coins. But now it's a hundred silver coins, which seems to be beyond his expectations.
When the black-clothed masked man was about to bid again, the old man in purple beside him, who had not spoken, persuaded: Young master, don't bid again, we still have a treasure that is the most important. The masked man replied, "Don't worry, I've guessed that he has no money." As for that thing, it's even more inevitable. He shouted again: One hundred and fifty silver coins.
Sure enough, as he guessed, the young man in white didn't have much money, and the middle-aged man who had been by his side said: Young master, that guy must be from the Cao family, and he is interested in calculating us. The young man in white said: Fight, try it. Then he walked to Ye Chen's place and said, "Brother Ye, this exercise is very important to me. "But my financial resources are limited, and I hope Brother Ye can help.
Ye Wu was about to persuade him that the hundred-year-old ginseng was very important, and even the spirit spirit in the dantian was going to say so. Ye Chen just smiled and said: How much Brother Tai needs, I will definitely give my full support. It's a big deal, and my father's reputation is guaranteed. Ye Wu was very annoyed, it turned out that just now she told her that she could use Ye Lingfeng's name as a certain property guarantee.
The young man in white was very satisfied and cast a grateful look, and said: I still need ten silver coins, I think I will definitely succeed. Ye Chen said: Okay, I'll go and tell President Zhang, let's go together.
Ye Chen took the young man in white and said to Zhang Haotian: He used the reputation of his father Ye Lingfeng to pay ten silver coins. Then add the one hundred and ninety silver coins left by the young man in white. A total of 200 silver coins.
Zhang Hattian naturally agreed when he heard this, so just when the man in black thought that one hundred and fifty silver coins would win the auction, he heard the young man in white shouting: two hundred silver coins. The black-clothed man couldn't speak, and when he saw Ye Chen next to the white-clothed young man, he understood everything, and threw a resentful gaze at Ye Chen. He didn't expect that he didn't come out with a hairy boy who ruined his big thing.
The old man in purple persuaded him to forget it, the big thing is important. The man in black had no choice but to give up. Finally, after about two consecutive auctions, this exercise, which was carried to two hundred silver coins, fell into the hands of the young man in white.
The strange thing is that after the eighth auction, the ninth treasure Tiancia Sword, although the starting price is one hundred silver coins, but not many people compete, probably because they don't know the goods and the price is too high, after a few people's auction, it was bought by the previous man in black for three hundred silver coins.
Zhang Hetian said: After repeated competitions, it finally came to the last treasure, which is a century-old ginseng, but there are some problems. Now there is a hundred years of ginseng.
Everyone present was shocked when they heard the ginseng.
