Chapter 120: The Auction Up

"Hehe, it's just today, if the seniors want to go, you can lead the way. The shopkeeper said with a smile on his face.

"You lead the way?" Lu Xu asked suddenly, this shopkeeper was inevitably too enthusiastic about him.

"Hehe, let's be honest, this small shop is also owned by the merchant alliance that presided over the auction. Seeing Lu Xu's expression, the shopkeeper immediately explained. In fact, this shopkeeper is so enthusiastic and has a purpose, to bring a potential customer to the auction, and he can get a lot of spirit stones in Shangmeng!

"Lead the way!" Lu Xu breathed a sigh of relief and said lightly.

"Yes, I'll lead the way for my seniors!" The shopkeeper greeted the guy with a happy face, and took the lead in the front.

After turning around in front of the shopkeeper, he took Lu Xu to a three-story attic. The door to the attic is closed, and there are no markings on the door, which looks rather mysterious.

Then, after a few rhythmic taps on the door, the door opened, and out came a middle-aged monk in his thirties.

This middle-aged monk looks ordinary, and belongs to the kind that can't be found in the pile, but judging by his cultivation, he is a monk in the foundation building period.

"Mr. Mo, I have brought a new customer here, and he is also going to participate in this auction. The shopkeeper didn't wait for the middle-aged monk to speak. hurriedly let go of Lu Xu behind him, and said respectfully.

After listening to the words brought by the shopkeeper, the middle-aged monk looked Lu Xu up and down with a frown. But then after seeing that this guest was a foundation building monk, he nodded slowly.

"Since you are a Daoist friend in the foundation building period, then please come in!" The middle-aged monk nodded at Lu Xu and said lightly.

"Senior, I can only send it here, so I will leave first. The shopkeeper heard the words of the middle-aged monk, and then said goodbye to Lu Xu.

Lu Xu glanced at the disappearing figure of the shopkeeper, and walked into the attic with the middle-aged monk's sideways. But there was a move in his heart, this auction could actually allow a strange monk of the foundation building period to participate at will, presumably there must be at least a monk of the Jindan period in this business alliance.

The hall in the attic is ordinary, nothing special, just a few tables and chairs.

When Lu Xu was looking at it casually, the middle-aged monk who closed the door again said with a solemn expression:

"Fellow Daoist, please come with me. ”

With that, the middle-aged monk walked to the corner of the hall in two steps, stretched out a hand and pressed it against a bronze statue on the wall.

The yellow light flashed on his hand, and a large hole suddenly cracked in the wall. The middle-aged monk greeted Lu Xu and walked in along the big hole in the wall.

Lu Xu's expression was slightly hesitant, and after hesitating for a moment, he still walked to the wall and cautiously followed.

The big hole in the wall was a wonderful teleportation array, and after seeing a flash of light, Lu Xu came to a dimly lit passage.

The passage is very short, and after walking for about 20 zhang, it is a small stone gate. In front of the door, two men in black stood on the left and right, each wearing a black cloak.

After Lu Xu swept the eyes of the man in black, his expression immediately became solemn. These two people are actually monks in the foundation building period like him, and it seems that the strength of this business alliance is really not to be underestimated.

The middle-aged monk acted as if he hadn't seen the man in black, so he pushed the stone door directly and walked in with Lu Xu. And the two men in black also turned a blind eye and had no intention of opening their mouths to stop them.

As soon as he entered the stone gate, Lu Xu was stunned.

Inside is a hall with a square pattern and a length and width of tens of zhang. In the hall, there are seven or eight rows of wooden chairs, on which dozens of monks in different costumes sit.

Seeing Lu Xu and the middle-aged monk coming in, these people sitting couldn't help but glance at Lu Xu.

After Lu Xu was swept by these gazes, he was shocked in his heart, these people were all monks in the foundation building period, and there were even a lot of monks in the foundation building stage.

It seems that this is indeed an auction held exclusively for monks during the foundation building period, and it is not allowed to enter unless the foundation building period.

"It's a coincidence that Daoists are here, the auction is about to start, Daoists, please feel free. The middle-aged monk turned his head and said these two words, and left him here alone, and walked away alone.

After Lu Xu glanced at the many monks in the hall, he couldn't help but touch his nose, most of the many monks in the foundation building period present were wearing masks to cover their faces, and the most important ones were covered with a layer of black gas.

There were only a few people who didn't hide anything, Lu Xu smiled bitterly in his heart, fortunately he took the Transfiguration Pill, otherwise it would be really a little troublesome, and then he silently found a more remote corner and sat down.

Although there were many people in the hall, everyone was silent, and it seemed extremely quiet, so that a trace of tension condensed in the air.

Seeing this, Lu Xu naturally closed his eyes and recuperated with his eyes, nose, nose and heart, and put on the black cloak in the storage bag to prevent the transformation pill from failing to take too long. Putting on a black cloak can also cover it up, giving yourself time to calmly take the Transfiguration Pill again.

Sure enough, fortunately, out of prudence, he sat dry for two or three hours, and after Lu Xu's Transformation Pill failed and he had to take one again. A small door at the front of the hall finally opened, and three people walked out one after another.

The three of them were dressed exactly like the two black-clothed men guarding the stone gate, and they couldn't see their faces at all.

At this time, behind the high platform in front of them, the one standing in the middle spoke in a deep voice:

"Welcome many fellow practitioners in the immortal cultivation world to this auction, and here I will explain the rules clearly. The authenticity of all items in the auction can be guaranteed by the merchant alliance and there will be no falsehood. However, once it is auctioned, the business alliance is not responsible for its origin. ”

Hearing this, Lu Xu was stunned, it seems that there are really a lot of things in this auction that are not visible, otherwise there is no need to explain it in advance, let alone be so secretive.

Seeing that everyone did not speak, the man in black in the middle immediately continued:

"The rules of this auction remain the same, or the merchant alliance will shout out a spirit stone reserve price, and everyone will use the spirit stone to compete. If the spirit stones are insufficient, they can also be mortgaged with other items of equivalent value, and the specific value will be jointly assessed by the three of us. The highest bidder gets the bid. ”

"Finally, after the auction of the items of this business alliance is completed, it is time for everyone to trade freely. If there is anything to be exchanged and sold, you can come forward and display and trade on your own, and we will not interfere in the slightest, just provide a venue. Well, now that we're done, the auction begins!"

Hearing this, Lu Xu's heart moved, it seems that this last free trade is bartering. He had also heard that some monks would designate a special item to exchange when they needed a special item when they traded.

As the man in black in the middle made the rules clear, the three flashed to the side and gave up their position at the front desk. At the same time, a chubby middle-aged man walked out from behind the small door and walked up with a smile.

When the man came to the front desk, he coughed a few times and then said:

"This auction is presided over by Zaixia, and the first bid below is a superb magic weapon wind and fire fan, this ......"

The first item to be auctioned was a powerful and superb magic weapon, which surprised Lu Xu a little, the auction of the foundation building period monk really couldn't be compared with the Qi refining stage monk.

Especially this magic weapon, this chubby monk said in a voice as if he was overturning the river and the sea, and he was omnipotent, and even Lu Xu had the urge to take out the spirit stone and buy it when he heard it.

Sure enough, as soon as the base price of only one thousand spirit stones came out, there were immediately three or four impatient people who made a quick bid. In the blink of an eye, the wind and fire fan was raised to more than two thousand spirit stones. Let the other monks who also want to bid immediately extinguish the idea of bidding again!

Although the two attacks of wind and fire attached to this wind and fire fan are indeed good, they are obviously still a cut short of the best magic weapon. Even compared to his own moon blade, it is much inferior.

However, there are still a lot of monks in the crazy bidding, and you can imagine how scarce the best magic weapons in the immortal cultivation world are.

Generally speaking, the first thing at an auction, while good, is not the best of them. But for those who are willing to buy, the things that may be sold later may be better, but they are not able to grab them. It's more practical to buy the best magic weapon in front of you.

Therefore, this wind and fire fan, in the competition of several monks in the foundation building period, was sold quite smoothly for 1,800 spirit stones.

The chubby monk waited for the wind and fire fan to come out, cleared his throat, and said:

"The second item to be sold in this auction is a defensive magic weapon Xuantie Shield, I believe everyone knows the rarity of defensive magic weapons. Therefore, now it is sold at the reserve price of 1,200 spirit stones, which is definitely not high. ”

As he spoke, the chubby monk took out a swarthy shield from his storage bag and placed it on the table for everyone to see.

The monks in the hall, although no one spoke loudly, immediately became hot, and many of them stared at the shield with hot eyes, apparently all of them had taken a fancy to it.

Among the monks' magic weapons, defensive magic weapons are the most scarce, and they are also the most needed by monks, after all, life is more important than anything else. Immortal cultivators are often more afraid of death than mortals, because they know that as long as they can save their lives, there will be countless uncertainties in the future, and maybe one day there will be rare adventures soaring into the sky.

Although Lu Xu is also a little interested in the Xuantie Shield, he doesn't have to do it, and although there are a lot of spirit stones on his body, they must also be used in key places!

"Thirteen hundred!"

"Fourteen hundred!"

"Sixteen hundred"

“......”

No matter what Lu Xu thinks. It didn't take long for this defensive dark iron shield to be raised to a terrifying price!

"Eighteen hundred!"

This is a quote from a tall, thin man wearing a demon mask on his head, gritting his teeth.

"Nineteen hundred!"

Not far from this monk, a tall monk shouted a step higher without hurrying, so that the monk's hands were clenched.

At present, this can almost be said to be a sky-high price, and the others have already withdrawn from the competition, and can only look at the two wealthy foundation building period monks with unwilling eyes, and continue to raise the price again and again.

"Nineteen hundred and fifty!" said the master monk fiercely after raising the price one more time, staring at the monk with annoyed eyes.

"Two thousand!"

As soon as the tall and thin monk said this, the tall monk sneered, and raised the price again, and the two thousand spirit stones had greatly exceeded the value of this magic weapon.

The tall and thin monk pondered for a moment, and finally gave up on continuing to increase the price, which was obviously inflated, and it was really not worth it.

In this way, this tall immortal cultivator in the foundation building period spent a sky-high price to buy this defensive magic weapon, and I don't know if it is worth the money.

Lu Xu is a little inexplicable, as for this, isn't it just a superb defensive magic weapon, is it that the monks in the foundation building period are so rich.

In fact, Lu Xu was wrong, the best magic weapons in the immortal cultivation world are extremely rare, not to mention the best defensive magic weapons, if you can add one to yourself, you can improve your combat power a lot.

Perhaps the bidding was too fierce this time, which stimulated the nerves of many monks. The originally deserted atmosphere in the hall became popular after that, and all the earth magic weapons and rare raw materials were snatched up by many enthusiastic monks.
