Chapter 70: The Auction

"Master Fan Ling, please inside! Shopkeeper Du told me to wait for you here. ”

After the guards of the auction hall saw Ling Fan's VIP card, they immediately bowed. Then he turned around and made a gesture of please, leading Ling Fan towards the auction hall.

This auction hall doesn't look like anything from the outside, but you can only feel the majesty when you walk into it, here Ling Fan just glanced at it, and knew that it could accommodate at least a thousand people.

In this auction hall, there is a circular structure, in the middle there is a high platform of seven or eight zhang square, and in the center of the high platform there is a circular platform half a zhang high, where the auction items will be taken out, and the circular platform around it, except for the top floor, which is divided into individual rooms, are all tables and chairs of different sizes below, surrounding the surroundings.

At this time, there are already quite a few people sitting there, waiting for the auction to begin.

There was a lot of noise, people came from time to time, people moved from time to time, looking for close friends to talk to, and in addition to the many soldiers of the kingdom patrolling around to maintain order.

"Master Fan Ling, the auction is about to start, and the twelfth room on the top floor is specially left for you by Shopkeeper Du. ”

The guard spoke respectfully, although he didn't know why the shopkeeper Du attached so much importance to the unattractive person in front of him, but he didn't dare to discount the shopkeeper's orders.

There were a total of fifteen rooms on the top floor, which Ling Fan knew before he entered the auction hall, and being able to sit in a separate room to participate in the auction was all the person in charge of the big family, or the powerhouse of the famous continent.

Before coming here, he didn't expect that he would be arranged in a separate room, after all, although Du Yueji's status in Jingzhou City's Baibao Store was high, in such a grand scene, she didn't have the right to seek such benefits for Ling Fan.

Those who can do it can be unless they are at a higher level in Baibaoxing.

"It seems that there are still a lot of people who pay attention to me in Baibao Xing. ”

Ling Fan sighed secretly in his heart, but since someone arranged it at this time, Ling Fan did not refuse. Just a flash of his eyes and a nod.

Seeing Ling Fan's unhesitating movements, the guards were even more sure that Ling Fan was a very hidden senior, and their words were even more respectful. He led the way sideways until he ushered Ling Fan into Room Twelve. Only then did he respectfully say goodbye and turn to leave.

Ling Fan didn't know what the other rooms were, but this twelfth room was not small, and the dragons and phoenixes were carved on the walls, which was extremely gorgeous. In the middle of the room, there was also a wooden table, on which were placed many fresh fruits, most of which Ling Fan had never seen. Although these fruits are not helpful for cultivating True Qi, they are definitely a rare species.

Directly in the direction of the center of the auction room, there is a large floor-to-ceiling window. Through this window, you can clearly see everything in the auction room.

"This room is really nice. ”

Ling Fan chuckled, seeing that there was still some time before the auction began, Ling Fan didn't want to waste it, so he immediately closed his eyes and began to cultivate.

In this way, the silence inside the room and the noisy environment outside the room are in stark contrast, as if there were two worlds.

In the silence of the room, time passed slowly, and after about half an hour, a muffled drum beat suddenly came from the very center of the auction room.

The drum roared, as if earth-shattering, echoing in all directions, and each drum sounded as if it hit everyone's body, making all those who heard it tremble.

As the sound of the drum reverberate, there was the sound of a whining horn, which was sharper than the sound of the drum, as if it swept the breath of everyone around him, and went straight to the nine heavens.

The sound of drums and trumpets made the auction hall, which is enough to accommodate thousands of people, suddenly no longer have any noise, and everyone's eyes are focused on the platform in the center.

Ling Fan also opened his eyes at this time, and he saw that below the floor-to-ceiling window, in the center of the auction hall, seven stone pillars suddenly rose from around the high platform. It is like seven guards, protecting the central platform.

The stone pillar rose to a height of more than ten zhang before slowly stopping. Immediately afterward, a rainbow of light was radiated. The colorful light flickered violently a few times, and as the light gradually stabilized, a transparent light mask shrouded the high platform just in it.

As Ling Fan, who had studied the formation method deeply, he could see at a glance that this light mask was a defensive formation.

It is conceivable that when auctioning valuables, if someone snatches them, they will be stopped by the light shield to buy time for the escort rescue.

"Welcome to our annual auction at Treasure Shop!"

At this time, most people were still surprised by the changes on the high platform, and a brass bell-like voice suddenly came into everyone's ears.

With this voice, a beautiful woman stepped into the high platform inside the light mask.

When this woman Ling Fan saw it, she couldn't help but bow her head and chuckle, it turned out that she was Du Yueji, who Ling Fan was familiar with.

It's just that today's Du Yueji is wearing a red long dress, like a lively flame, and on top of the long skirt, there are several exquisite gems, like beautiful notes, which make Du Yueji's already beautiful face even more beautiful.

Looking at Du Yueji on the high platform, looking at the straight eyes of everyone on the seats below, Ling Fan was a little suspicious at this time, wondering if these people were coming here for the auction or for something else.

"All the Taoist friends of the Great Jing Kingdom, the little woman Du Yueji, it is an honor to preside over this auction, this time we have prepared a lot of rare things in Baibaoxing, and the little woman is not good at words, so I won't say much. The first item in this auction ......"

At the same time as Du Yueji spoke, a white light immediately appeared on the circular platform, and as the white light gradually disappeared, a round bead appeared in it.

This orb can actually emit a dark yellow light, but the light is dim, obviously it has been stored for too long, and the aura in it has dissipated a lot.

"This first lot is the Inner Dan of the Earth Demon Bear, although this Inner Dan has been obtained for a long time, and the aura is a little sluggish, but after all, it is the Inner Dan of the Demon Beast of the Jindan Period, and it is still a good choice for alchemy, the auction price is based on the upper grade spirit stone, the starting price of this first lot is one hundred, and the price is increased by one hundred each time, and everyone can start bidding. ”

As soon as Du Yueji's voice fell, the audience immediately fell silent.

Some people may like to be in an uproar and talk about it, but more often than not, bidders are silent. After all, most of the people who can participate in such auctions have a strong sense of autonomy, and there are few buyers who follow the clouds.

"Six hundred. ”

A voice suddenly came from the northwest corner of the auction hall. The moment this voice came out, many people immediately looked at it, and the speaker was a big man, but he was wearing a hat and couldn't see his face clearly.

There are many people dressed in this way in the auction house, after all, many people do not want their identities to be revealed, so as not to be remembered by others.

Maybe it's because someone started to make bids, and gradually, one by one, the sound of price increases came out one after another.

"Seven hundred. ”

"Eight hundred. ”

......

Ling Fan sat in room 12, quietly watching the bidding, he was not interested in this first lot. After all, he didn't understand alchemy, and the spirit stones in his hands didn't allow him to squander them wantonly.

Maybe it was because he didn't participate in the auction, but Ling Fan could see everyone's bidding more clearly.

Through his observations, he found that the people who participated in the auction were all scattered below, and as for the fifteen rooms above, none of them heard the sound of price increases.

Even, in some rooms, Ling Fan could see that many of the buyers were either cultivating or chatting with others in a low voice, not paying attention to the bidding situation at all.

"It seems that most of these people are coming for some lots, I hope they don't fancy the colorful ice lotus. ”

Ling Fan sighed secretly here, and the auction of the first lot below also came to an end.

In the end, the first lot was still obtained by the big man who made the first offer, but the transaction price became 1,500 high-grade spirit stones.

An inner pill that consumed a lot of spiritual energy could actually be sold for fifteen hundred high-grade spirit stones, and while Ling Fan lamented the high price here, he was also worried that the spirit stones in his hand would not be enough.

"Hey, it's good that the spirit stone in my hand can buy a colorful ice lotus, and I don't need to pay attention to other items. ”

Ling Fan sighed secretly, and then stopped paying attention to the auctions of other lots, and followed the example of the bidders in other rooms, closing his eyes and cultivating.

During his cultivation, Ling Fan always kept his spiritual sense clear, paying attention to the progress of the auction, waiting for the appearance of the colorful ice lotus.

It wasn't until an hour had passed that Ling Fan waited for the items he needed.

"Now for the eighteenth lot, the multicolored ice lotus. Du Yueji stood on the high platform beautifully, glanced at Ling Fan's room while speaking, and saw Ling Fan wake up from his cultivation, so he continued: "Ice lotus is the coldest thing, the highest nine colors, the lowest three colors, although the colorful ice lotus is not rare, but it is also a rare fairy grass, the starting price is eight hundred, and the price increase is not less than one hundred each time, you can start bidding." ”

Many people are very familiar with the colorful ice lotus, so as soon as Du Yueji's words fell, a lot of bidding voices immediately sounded.

"Nine hundred. ”

"A thousand. ”

"One thousand one. ”

......

The sound of price increases came and went, until a sound came from a room above the auction, and there was silence below.

"The old man bid three thousand!"
