Volume 1 Illusion Nirvana Chapter 24 Heavenly Immortals
Chapter Twenty-Four: Heavenly Immortals
Once a cultivator gets something valuable by chance, if he can't use it, he can exchange it for what he needs, or sell it for a spare, of course, it is also a good way to set up a stall to sell it in some places like Santong City, but if it is something really valuable, and he doesn't have that kind of idle time, then it is a good way to put it in the auction house for auction. Although the auction house will charge a certain fee, it is really insignificant compared to the value of the precious thing, not to mention, the auction house will also keep it confidential for you, so as not to kill for money.
Setting up an auction house is a great way to increase a city's popularity and income. Every city with a slight development scale will have at least one auction house. Originally, in Santong City, there were as many as three auction houses coexisting, and under the careful planning of the city lord Ouyang Yingdao for many years, the other two had already become the products of his Ouyang family.
Those two auction houses generally hold auctions from time to time, and the things they auction are relatively ordinary, and when they encounter high-value things, they usually put them at the triennial auction, and the publicity time for three whole years has whetted the appetite of cultivators from all directions.
Santong City Santong Auction House, although it belongs to the Ouyang family, the real owner behind it is actually Shifangtang. It can be said that Shifangtang can become one of the top ten forces in the east, and these three-way auction houses have played a great role.
This time, Shifang Tang sent ten soul cultivators to Santong City, and Ouyang Yingdao's three sons were also among them, plus the eight major guards of Santong City, the security of the auction could be described as extremely safe. This is not only to protect the safety of the auction itself, but also to protect the safety of the consignor and bidders, for hundreds of years, under the strong cooperation of the Ouyang family and Shifangtang, there has never been an accident, which has also won the enduring reputation of the three-way auction house.
After three years of publicity, the auction has already been in an uproar, and the auction activities in other cities have consciously staggered the auction time of the three-way auction house, not only the top ten forces in the east, but also those small sects and loose cultivators have also come early, and sometimes, even forces outside the east will appear here.
This time, even Ouyang Yingdao's only daughter, Ouyang Ting, whose cultivation is far better than his three sons, also brought three people from the hall to participate in the auction. Ouyang Yingdao's family of four is rarely reunited, he is in a happy mood, warmly entertains all friends, and enjoys family fun with his family.
The three-way auction house will auction 36 precious items this time, divided into two halves, each half of the auction of 18 items, with a break of one hour in between, which will last from the unitary hour in the evening to the second hour. This is the consistent rule of the three-way auction house for hundreds of years, although there is no innovation and change, but it is talked about by more and more people.
The participants also know that the first half of the auction is far less precious than the second half, but still no one wants to miss the first half, no, this auction venue that can accommodate 2,000 people, at this time has already been full of people, full of seats, although most of them are accompanied or come to see the excitement, but to have this momentum, it also shows the strength of the three-way auction house.
The three-way auction house is also different from other auction houses, there are no VIP rooms here, no matter how big or small you are, you are still one of the many attendees, which is also a special feature here. As for those who cover their faces so that others do not recognize them, they are respectful. The three-way auction house has this confidence, and under such strong public security measures, because of its reputation and the prestige behind it, no one really dares to make trouble here.
"Friends, good evening, welcome to take time out of your busy schedule to participate in today's auction, old Ouyang Yingdao sincerely thanks. Today, we will auction 36 precious items, which is only a lot more than the number of previous auctions, although this is not enough to satisfy everyone, and I hope that these 36 items will be the icing on the cake for the final winners. Don't be discouraged if you don't have a bid, you can negotiate with our auction house after the meeting, tell us your intentions, and we will do our best to provide you with services. Okay, everyone may think I'm a little verbose, so I won't talk about it anymore, and I'll leave it to Su Lao to preside. The venue was too big and there were a lot of people, but as soon as Ouyang Yingdao spoke, everyone had already quieted down, and with his cultivation, everyone could hear these words clearly.
The crowd laughed a few times, Ouyang Yingdao turned around and sat down on the Taishi chair on the side, his three sons were already standing there, but they didn't see his daughter, it seemed that she also wanted to make a difference in this auction. According to the rules of the auction house, everyone who participates in the auction must be seated in the bottom seat, even his daughter.
"Dare to ask City Lord Ouyang, I heard that there have been two murders and a missing case in the city in the past two days, it seems that they are murdering for money, may I ask City Lord Ouyang, how do you ensure the safety of today's auction?"
That Su Lao was about to speak, when a sharp voice suddenly came from the crowd, which stabbed Bai Fei's scar this time, he looked for the person who spoke out, but there were so many people, and the person deliberately covered it up, how difficult it was to find him.
Ouyang City Lord's face turned pale, and he also hurriedly glanced through the crowd, but he, like Bai Fei, didn't find anything at all. Speaking of this, he was still angry in his heart, he blamed Ouyang Chisun heavily, he didn't care about the two lives and the missing person, but when such a thing happened, he was worried that it would affect Santong City and his reputation, after all, such a thing had never happened again under his management.
Su Lao didn't know what to say, and looked at Ouyang Yingdao embarrassedly. Ouyang Yingdao waved his hand at him, and his eyes fell on Ouyang Chisun who was patrolling the field. As soon as that voice came out, Ouyang Chisun knew that he couldn't escape, and at this moment he was looking at Ouyang Yingdao to see what instructions he had. Since someone has brought up this matter, I will briefly explain it to you......" As he spoke, he started with a few people fighting for the strange bonsai, and continued until someone saw Yun Ling being rescued by a master, and said at the end, " Dear friends, in response to this matter, the city lord has made compensation to the old man and obtained the understanding of his family, as for the scribe, he is the murderer of the old man, we have inquired with the various sects, but no one knows him, maybe he is just a loose cultivator, however, after several adults have guessed repeatedly, the scribe should not be from our eastern forces...... As for the missing girl, someone has already seen her rescued by the master, maybe it was a chance for her, and we have also been forgiven by her friends. Speaking of which, this matter was completely caused by the scribe, but unfortunately he has also died, and I also know that there is no proof of death, and my friends may still have any suspicions in their hearts, but I will only report the facts, and I have already asked for punishment, after today's auction, I will resign from my position as the head of the guard, retreat for ten years, and strive to improve my cultivation, in order to better serve my friends. Today, is our triennial auction event in Santong City, I hope it will not sweep everyone's interest, friends can rest assured, I dare to guarantee that similar events will not happen again, you can enjoy this event. ”
After speaking, Ouyang Chisun jumped off the stage and continued to patrol.
Although Bai Fei was a little dissatisfied with him for not pursuing the case of Yun Ling's disappearance as if he had obtained his own forgiveness, he still admired this man who dared to act in his heart, so he didn't think much about it. The others saw that he was righteous and awe-inspiring, neither humble nor arrogant, and some doubts had already been swallowed back into their stomachs, but it was strange that the person who spoke up did not make it difficult again. Ouyang Yingdao smiled, nodded at Old Su, and signaled that he could start.
"Guys, let's start bidding on the first item. Su Lao coughed and went directly into the auction process, not even saying the carefully prepared opening remarks.
When everyone in the audience heard this, they didn't expect him to be so neat and neat, and the atmosphere suddenly became warm, and the scene that happened just now was forgotten at once. Ouyang Yingdao nodded with satisfaction, he knew that Su Lao was usually a talker, and he would definitely not forget to sell himself on occasions like this, and now that he could do this, he was very pleased.
As soon as Su Lao's words fell, a young and beautiful girl held a plate in both hands, walked to Su Lao's side with an elegant demeanor, put the plate on the auction table, and then stood quietly aside.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this first item is a prescription, and it is equipped with three complete sets of medicinal materials, the name of this elixir is 'Tianxian Pei', as the name suggests, this elixir is specially prepared for people who cultivate in the realm of heavenly immortals, according to legend, this kind of elixir can make people in the realm of heavenly immortals easily improve a small rank, but the medicinal materials are extremely scarce, and it is very difficult to refine, therefore, there are very few such elixirs in the entire cultivation world. Of course, if you happen to be in the Heavenly Immortal Realm or have not yet reached this realm, you should not miss it, maybe you are lucky enough to find an alchemy powerhouse to help you successfully refine this elixir, which can save you years or even decades of hard training. Su Lao's long-winded problem finally came out unconsciously, but everyone also wanted to hear the magic of this elixir, and this would not be too long-winded.
Bai Fei couldn't have imagined that this was just the beginning, and there was such a precious thing, although there were only three medicinal materials, maybe it was really a bamboo blue water, but there must be risks in precious things, and there were only a handful of people in the world like him who got it for nothing and had continuous opportunities since ancient times.
Su Lao glanced at everyone in the audience with satisfaction, and then continued: "Maybe you are thinking now, there are only three medicinal materials, and the medicinal materials are very scarce and difficult to find, if these three parts fail, won't the prescription become a piece of waste paper?" In fact, it is true, the person who entrusted the auction is because he does not want to take this risk, so he entrusted this prescription and three medicinal materials to us for auction, after repeated communication with him, our three-way auction house directly bought out this item, in view of the particularity of this item, we put it in the first auction, I believe that all friends here, there will always be people who are willing to take this risk, right?"
"That's not it, cultivating the truth is a thing that goes against the sky, we are risking our lives every day, why don't we care about money and other things outside the body, it is a chance that it can be successfully refined, even if it fails three times, it doesn't matter, Mr. Su, tell me about the auction price, we can't wait." Someone in the audience suddenly became impatient and began to urge.
"This friend is open-minded and admired. Well, as our first auction item, and this thing is very special, and it is our own auction house, after the Council of Elders, we will use this thing as an appetizer for the big guys, and the auction reserve price is 100 low-grade spars, and the price increase shall not be less than 10 low-grade spars, everyone, please bid!"
"What, only 100 low-grade spars?"
"What the hell is your name, isn't this the reserve price?"
Bai Fei didn't expect such a precious thing, the three-way auction house not only put it in the first bid, but the reserve price was almost incredibly low, but when he saw the eager appearance of the people around him, he was immediately impressed by the good calculation of the three-way auction house. In an auction attended by one or two thousand people, no one wants to make this cheap, once someone thinks it is cheap, they will scramble to grab it, this is human nature, as for the reserve price, it doesn't matter. In this way, the auction house can not only ensure profits, but also establish a reputation, which has to be admired.
