Chapter 338: The Inflated Price of Spiritual Fluid
In this way, Liu Chengfeng successfully entered the backstage area of the Ten Peerless Auction House, and he didn't need to spend a spirit stone.
There are only a dozen seats in the backstage area, and these positions are all prepared for people like Liu Chengfeng. However, most of the customers who sell the treasure deliberately conceal their whereabouts, and generally do not wait here, so there are only four or five customers waiting in the backstage area.
So these waiting customers, aren't they afraid that someone will find out their whereabouts?
Of course they will be afraid, after all, every auctioned treasure may cause the prying eyes of people with intentions, if they are found on their heads, not only will the spirit stones obtained from the auction treasure not be guaranteed, but it is very likely to threaten their lives. Therefore, Liu Chengfeng found that these people were either wearing masks, hats, or treasures such as scarves and veils.
And these treasures have one thing in common, that is, to block the detection of divine consciousness, so that other monks don't know what kind of face is under the mask?
Seeing this scene, the corners of Liu Chengfeng's mouth twitched fiercely, because he didn't understand why these people were hiding it? He also thought that this was some kind of peculiar custom here, so after a little hesitation, he decided to follow the customs, took out the dark spirit cloak from the storage ring, and draped it on his body in front of several people.
The next moment, Liu Chengfeng's body disappeared directly from the seat, and even his breath was gone, as if no one had ever sat on the seat. Such a strange phenomenon suddenly attracted the investigation of everyone present.
However, among the five people present, three of them could not detect Liu Chengfeng's traces, and only two of them could determine Liu Chengfeng's location.
Liu Chengfeng didn't care about this, hugged his arms and closed his eyes to recuperate, waiting for the auction to start. I don't know how long it took, but the steward of the auction house suddenly came to the backstage area and sat down, and then looked for it in the crowd.
Wherever Steward Yin looked, he didn't seem to find the person he was looking for. Therefore, the expression is slightly confused. Liu Chengfeng looked at Steward Yin not far away, held his chin and secretly thought, the person the other party is looking for can't be himself, right? Just as he was hesitating whether to show up, Steward Yin suddenly let go of his divine sense, enveloping the entire backstage area, and then his divine sense fell on Liu Chengfeng.
"You kid, what are you wearing? "......You kid, what are you wearing?" Yin was angry and funny, and he didn't know what to say about Liu Chengfeng.
Liu Chengfeng lifted the dark spirit cloak, revealing only one head, and then asked with a smile, "What is Senior Yin looking for me?"
Steward Yin doesn't talk nonsense. He said directly: "Since a treasure from the Treasure Pavilion was not delivered, I temporarily put your things on top first, do you have any opinions?"
"No, of course not, just give me the spirit stone......" Liu Chengfeng hurriedly replied, Steward Yin had told him before that his treasure would appear in the next auction. Now that it's ahead of schedule, how can he not agree?
After getting Liu Chengfeng's permission, Steward Yin left quickly, and it seemed that the auction was imminent. And Liu Chengfeng also pulled down the dark spirit cloak. Envelop your entire body and wait silently.
The backstage area is completely separated from the auction venue, but when you release your divine sense from the backstage area, you can still detect the situation in the auction room. But from the auction hall, you can't see the backstage, which is similar to Liu Chengfeng's dark spirit cloak, which is to cut off the divine consciousness from the outside, but you can observe the situation from the outside. It's definitely very humane, so that Liu Cheng can't help but want to give 32 likes!
The auction hall was packed, and most of the people were wearing treasures such as masks.
After a few more minutes of waiting. The auctioneer has finally appeared, and the auction is about to begin. At this time, Liu Chengfeng focused all his energy on the auctioneer. Because it is in his own interests, he can't afford not to care.
"Hello fellow Daoists, I believe that most of you here are no strangers to me, but there are still fresh faces in the venue, so I will take a little more time to introduce myself!" said the middle-aged auctioneer in a gray robe with a slightly elegant atmosphere.
"My name is Du Chengyun, and I am the auctioneer of the Ten Absolute Auction House, and there are not 10,000 auctions presided over by me, but 8,000 auctions. There are also thousands of treasures handled, and the highest transaction price is 1.2 billion top-grade spirit stones......"
Old customers seem to have long been numb to Du Chengyun's introduction, because at the beginning of each auction, Du Chengyun will introduce his glorious history. As for the strange customers, they still can't help but let out bursts of exclamation.
While they lamented the high transaction price, they also silently speculated in their hearts, what kind of treasure can be auctioned at such an ungodly price? You know, the best spirit stone itself is a rare treasure, and if you exchange treasures for treasures, can it be small?
"The first item we auctioned today is temporarily added, and please don't be impatient with the Taoist friends above the little immortal, the name of this item is called Shou Yuan Dan, which is a treasure necessary for monks below the tribulation period, and can increase the longevity of a hundred years after taking it, this three are auctioned together, the starting price is 25 million high-grade spirit stones, and each increase shall not be less than 500,000 high-grade spirit stones......"
The monks present were naturally no strangers to Shou Yuan Dan, and when they heard it, the monks below the Tribulation Period, including the Tribulation Period, were in an uproar, and they quickly scrambled to raise their cards, as if they were afraid of being one step behind others.
This kind of elixir will always be prepared when you buy it. What if one day the limit is approaching, but you fail to break through, and you are not blind in your cultivation?
Liu Chengfeng was slightly surprised when he saw that the first item was his Shou Yuan Dan, but then there was a surprise. Because every time he raised a card, it was 500,000 high-grade spirit stones, and the price of three Shouyuan Dan was quickly speculated to a high price of 31 million, which was 4 million more than the price he bought from the mall, and the profit was very gratifying.
After two rounds of prices, the careful Liu Chengfeng found that an old man wearing a hat but with a thin figure seemed to be determined to win Shouyuan Dan.
Perhaps thinking that such entanglement was not an option, the emaciated old man held up a sign and shouted in a falsetto pitch: "Thirty-five million ......"
Du Chengyun saw that someone raised the price by four million all of a sudden, so he naturally would not let go of this opportunity to render, so he said loudly in an excited voice: "This friend on the 17th is determined to win Shouyuan Dan, and he raised the price by 4 million all of a sudden, do the friends here have any questions to increase the price? If not, the two Shouyuan Dan can be obtained by the friend on the 17th......"
Liu Chengfeng wanted to laugh when he heard it, Du Chengyun was simply hating No. 17. Let others create a sense of crisis out of thin air. Some people didn't have much confidence, but they were provoked by Du Chengyun's words, and couldn't help but raise their cards again, which made the emaciated old man very dissatisfied.
However, Du Chengyun didn't seem to notice it, and roared in his throat: "Friend No. 22 has increased the price again, and now it's three thousand Wu Baiwu and ten thousand! Which friend still wants to increase the price? Maybe add it again, Shou Yuan Dan is yours......"
was tempted by Du Chengyun like this, and some people really raised their cards.
By this time, the emaciated old man had stopped holding up his sign. It seems to be on the sidelines. Because the current price has almost reached the limit, if the price is increased again, it will be a bit inflated, so many people hesitate.
"My grandson's qualifications are not good, Shouyuan is coming, I want these two Shouyuan Pills, 37 million ......" Just as everyone hesitated, a young man without a mask suddenly spoke, and suddenly raised the price by 1.5 million.
On the surface. The man was also in his twenties. However, since he said that his grandson was about to die, how could he say that his actual age was thousands or tens of thousands of years older? Moreover, he dared to show his true face. Cultivation must be very profound, not afraid of the young.
"Qi Gongzi, your grandson is only about 7,000 years old, right? At least 2,000 years to live, how can you say that your longevity is coming? I don't think you want to give your juniors a chance. It's good, but it's useless to you and me, so why do you want to snatch love?" Another middle-aged man without a mask suddenly spoke, and it seemed that this person was also a long-famous senior.
When Qi Gongzi heard this, he smiled slightly, and slowly spoke: "You can't say that, what if in these two thousand years, my grandson still hasn't made a breakthrough, and he can't find the elixir to increase his longevity?"
The middle-aged man who spoke before was silent for a long time, and finally held back a sentence: "You are worrying about the sky for nothing......"
Due to Qi Gongzi's intervention, the other monks may have been afraid, so they didn't dare to raise the price anymore. In the end, the three Shou Yuan Dan were sold for 37 million.
After that, the second item was placed in a tray and was picked up by a woman.
At this time, Du Chengyun picked up the things on the tray, raised them above his head and showed them to everyone, and introduced in his mouth: "Because the treasurer of the Treasure Pavilion failed to deliver the auctioned treasures in time, this is the second item added temporarily, the name of this thing is called spiritual liquid, so I don't need to introduce more about the effect, right? Anyway, everyone knows it, let's go straight to the topic! There are a total of twelve drops of spiritual liquid in this bottle, and the starting price is 20 million high-grade spirit stones, and each price increase shall not be less than 1 million high-grade spirit stones......
Spiritual liquid is a liquid that quickly restores aura, and the price in the mall is 1.68 million high-grade spirit stones per bottle, and there are only three drops in each bottle.
Before the auction, Du Chengyun discussed the reserve price of the two items with Liu Chengfeng, so Liu Chengfeng already knew the starting price. However, when he heard that the price increase was not less than one million each time, he was still shocked! Because of the price increase, Liu Chengfeng did not know about it in advance.
Now, Liu Chengfeng is even a little confused. It stands to reason that the elixir that increases longevity must be worth more than the spiritual liquid. But in fact, the two are completely reversed.
Three Shouyuan Dan were auctioned at a price of 37 million. And for twelve drops of spiritual liquid, the reserve price is already 20 million, and each increase in price must not be less than 1 million.
Just when Liu Chengfeng was a little drumming in his heart, he thought that the spiritual liquid would flow to the auction, who would have thought that the reaction at the venue would be much more intense than Liu Chengfeng expected.
I saw that many people took turns holding cards, and there was almost no time interval in between, and even those who did not wear masks and had strong strength also participated, which made Liu Chengfeng a little unexpected.
Without Du Chengyun deliberately rendering, the price of nine drops of spiritual liquid quickly climbed to a high price of 40 million, which made Liu Chengfeng both shocked and delighted. At this time, he couldn't help but think in his heart, this is another way to make money! This is more profitable than grabbing money, and he must do more business in the future!
"Qi Gongzi, we didn't compete with you for the three Shouyuan Pills before, and these twelve drops of spiritual liquid, you should also be humble, right?" An old man with a charitable face glanced at Qi Gongzi with his long beard, and said calmly.
Who knows, Qi Gongzi didn't appreciate it, and after glancing at the other party, he sneered: "The reason why the auction house appeared is to maximize the profits of the treasures, if everyone is humble, how should the auction house make money?"
Such heart-warming words, uh, at least Liu Chengfeng felt very warm-hearted, and suddenly reminded him of a sentence in later generations: If you don't accept it, you will fight!
Hearing Qi Gongzi's words, the expression of the old man who spoke before did not have the slightest wave, but said lightly: "Since this is the case, then Yu can only accompany him to the end, 50 million ......"
"Afraid of you, Qi lacks everything, except for spirit stones, 60 million ......" Qi Gongzi followed closely behind, and did not back down on the price.
"It's useless to talk more, let's bid! 80 million ......" The old man was still sad and joyless, and his expression was very indifferent.
When Qi Gongzi heard this, he smiled and said: "The courage is not small, the price is increased by 20 million at a time, I want to see how many 20 million you have? 100 million ......"
Seeing Qi Gongzi's smug expression, the old man who had bid before suddenly smiled faintly, and then stretched out his right hand to make a gesture of please, and then spoke: "The spiritual liquid that was originally worth 50 million was purchased by Qi Gongzi for 100 million, and it is really wealthy! Yu Mou is willing to bow down...... After speaking, he actually closed his eyes and stopped participating in the bidding, which made Liu Chengfeng feel very sorry.
Didn't you say yes? Accompany you to the end......
They are all characters with heads and faces, how can they go back on their word? Without even the most basic trust, how can they gain a foothold in the fairy world?
Compared with Liu Chengfeng's complaints, many people couldn't help but laugh. At this time, Qi Gongzi realized that he had been tricked, so Tie Qing gritted his teeth and said: "Old horseman, dare to play me? I think you are too long, right? Do you dare to fight with me?"
"Why don't you dare? When I'm afraid of you?" The old man surnamed Yu did not shy away, and two fine lights shot out of his peaceful eyes.
At this time, Du Chengyun hurriedly stood up to play a round: "Senior Qi, Senior Yu, please abide by the rules of my top ten auction houses, if you smash the signboard of the auction house, I am afraid it will be difficult to explain to the owner......"
Du Chengyun said politely, but his tone was a little blunt, and finally brought out an unknown owner, implying a threat, which immediately made Qi and Yu die down. (To be continued.) )
