Chapter 41: Auction
This time, Xin Rou didn't mince words and said directly: "On the fifteenth day of this month, the Black Eagle Hall in Xuandu will hold an auction, and there will be a piece of Qian Zhi Ye up for auction. Mr. Lu can try his luck at that time.
"
"Xuandu Black Eagle Hall? Auction?" Yu Xiao nodded thoughtfully, searching for information about Xuandu Black Eagle Hall in his mind.
If he remembered correctly, Xuandu should be a city on the Luoxingyuan oasis.
Luoxing was originally a large oasis, located on the south side of Qingjia Mountain. The distance was not far, but not close either. It took about two or three days to travel.
He had no memory of the Black Eagle Hall at all. He thought it was a force in the Luo Xing Yuan Oasis.
In an environment like Yulizhou's, small sects and cultivating families sprung up like mushrooms after a rain during times of peace.
An oasis is often the territory of one force. If the giant Fuguang Sect had not occupied too many cultivation resources, there would only be more existences like Fengxian Pavilion.
In fact, Fuguang Sect has also grown from a small sect to become bigger and stronger step by step. Even though Fengxian Pavilion is currently located in Qingjia Mountain, maybe after thousands of years, it will be able to dominate like Fuguang Sect.
While thinking, Yu Xiao felt something strange, so he asked aloud: "Since it is an auction held by Black Eagle Hall, I guess not everyone can participate."
"Master Lu's guess is correct." Xin Rou nodded and explained: "Those who can receive invitations from the Black Eagle Hall are all respectable people. No matter how bad they are, they are just paying to join in the fun. Most people are not qualified to participate."
Hearing this, Yu Xiao couldn't laugh or cry. Since she is not qualified to participate, isn't it just a waste of money?
At this time, Xin Rou changed her voice and joked: "Young Master Lu is probably scolding me in his heart. Don't worry. Wait until I finish my words. In fact, participating in the auction is not difficult.
Our Fengxian Pavilion has naturally received an invitation, and I am leading the team to attend the Black Eagle Hall auction this time. Mr. Lu can easily enter the auction venue just by joining my team at Fengxian Pavilion."
At this point, Yu Xiao looked at Xin Rou's charming and mature face, already guessing her little calculation in her heart, and couldn't help but smile: "It's unlikely that Manager Xin will let me join you for no reason.
The team from Fengxian Pavilion."
"That's right, Mr. Lu, you guessed it right again."
It’s a small price to pay.”
"Haha, please tell me a price, Mr. Xin!" Yu Xiao still didn't understand what the other party meant. Xin Rou had been going around in circles for a long time, and it turned out that she was waiting for him here.
I didn't expect that Fengxian Pavilion could reach such a level of business. It was really impressive.
"Fifty spiritual stones, and there are only five places." Xin Rou stretched out a palm and said no more.
A ticket to the auction costs fifty spiritual stones. After hearing this price, the average casual cultivator would probably shake his head and leave on the spot. Yu Xiao could not help but frown.
Seeing this, Xin Rou was very calm. She was not worried at all that Yu Xiao would have the idea of giving up.
Because Black Eagle Hall holds an annual auction, many casual cultivators are eager to participate, so there is no need to worry about selling the tickets for the auction.
Besides, even if it can't be sold, fifty spiritual stones is not a loss to their Fengxian Pavilion.
She just felt that if Yu Xiao could produce a 600-year-old yellow ginseng plant, he should not be short of fifty spiritual stones. Anyway, it would be the same to anyone, so there would be no difference.
"Here are fifty spiritual stones. I want this quota!" Yu Xiao didn't hesitate for a moment, and directly took out fifty spiritual stones and placed them on the table.
After buying eight hundred spiritual stones and the Indomitable Fire Crystal, could he still give up Qian Zhiye just because of fifty spiritual stones' auction tickets?
Obviously impossible.
Compared with the benefits of the Five Spirit Gathering Formation, fifty spirit stones are nothing at all.
Xin Rou looked happy, and after accepting the spirit stone happily, she added again: "Mr. Lu, we are only responsible for bringing you into the auction venue. As for whether you can take the Qian Zhi Ye, it all depends on you."
Yu Xiao was still very clear about this, and nodded in acquiescence, while Xin Rou also took out a token and handed it over: "Master Lu, come to Fengxian Pavilion early in the morning in two days with this token. We will set off on time.
.”
After coming out of Fengxian Pavilion, Yu Xiao did not return to the cave immediately, but began to prepare for the next auction.
He only has one hundred and seventy-three spiritual stones on his body now, so trying to take a picture of Qian Zhiye is nothing more than a dream.
He didn't know how many people would compete with him, but he had already planned to try to take a picture of Qian Zhiye no matter what.
So you need to be well prepared for the spiritual stones you have.
Thinking of this, he walked around the market, then walked into a small shop, and came out after half a cup of tea.
After that, he changed two faces one after another, visited two other stores, and got rid of all the useless things in his hands.
Three low-grade magical artifacts, a 600-year-old vine with purple stems, asparagus and Wuhai bamboo fruit, were sold for a total of 1,293 pieces of spiritual stone.
Including the remaining spiritual stones, his total assets now reach 1,466 yuan, not counting the 150 Qinyue Lotus Seeds that are about to be harvested, which can be said to be quite wealthy.
"It should be almost done." Yu Xiao nodded, and then returned to the cave with satisfaction.
…
Two days later, at dawn, Yu Xiao put on a special blue cloak, wrapped herself tightly, and then left the cave.
He didn't know the origins of the people traveling with him this time, so for the sake of safety, it was better not to expose his identity easily.
Although the face under the cloak is still not his true appearance, it is always right to be careful when going out.
Arriving at Fengxian Pavilion, Xin Rou was already ready and waiting there.
There were many people following her, most of them were disciples of Fengxian Pavilion. The remaining three were dressed in strange clothes. They all covered their faces with cloaks, making it impossible to see through their auras and unable to distinguish between men and women.
It was obvious that these three were the casual cultivators who had purchased the qualification to enter the auction with Hua Lingshi. As expected, they were very cautious.
Yu Xiao showed the token, and Xin Rou glanced at him and seemed to recognize his identity, but she didn't say anything. She just nodded and said: "There is another Taoist friend who has not arrived yet. Please wait for a moment."
While he was talking, another monk wearing a hood fell from the air, took out the token from his arms and threw it to Xin Rou. His hoarse voice slowly came out: "Sorry, I'm a little late."
"It doesn't matter, since everyone is here, let's set off."
Xin Rou didn't pay attention. She tapped the storage bag. Suddenly, a white light flashed in front of her, and a spirit boat emerged.
"It's a long way from Qingjia Mountain to Luoxingyuan. Fellow Taoists, please come up and let me carry you."
"Thank you, Mr. Xin."
