Chapter 59: Fifty-Nine: The Knife Pulls His Butt Opens His Eyes
Chapter 59 Wujiu: Pulling the knife on the buttocks opened my eyes
"If you carry weapons, they need to be temporarily stored here. You need to pay ten taels of silver to enter. If you spend more than ten taels of silver in the auction, we will refund it when you leave!"
It's such a good deal, the ticket fee is only 10,000 yuan.
However, this move also screened out a large number of people who joined in the fun and prevented too many people.
"No weapons."
Li Sui'an threw out a piece of silver and handed it to the person in charge.
"This is your number plate. Please take it and follow me."
He was immediately taken into the venue.
A lot of people have already gathered in the spacious hall, most of them are dressed in luxurious clothes, and some even wear masks so as not to show their true colors.
Li Sui'an noticed that there were some private boxes at the rear and on both sides, "How can I enter the boxes?"
"We have three boxes named Heaven, Earth, and Human. There are eight boxes in the Tian-shaped box, which cost one thousand taels of silver. There are sixteen boxes in the earth-shaped box, and they cost five hundred taels. There are sixty-seat boxes in the Herringbone box, and the cost is
One hundred taels of silver. The cost of the private room is non-refundable no matter how much you spend, and you also need to present a bank check of at least 10,000 taels. At present, there are no Tianzihao private rooms, and there are three Dizihao private rooms.
There are only nineteen private rooms left."
"Take me to the herringbone box!"
"Guest, please come with me."
He handed over another ninety taels of silver and went to the herringbone box.
The decoration here is simple, but not out of style. There is also an unlimited supply of fruits, water and wine, and the waiter is on call outside the door. The most important thing is privacy, you don't have to ask the price and be watched by a group of people.
Li Sui'an looked at it for a while and saw no one he knew, so he stopped paying attention and closed his eyes to rest.
As time went by, the hall was filled with people.
A big man in mink walked into the venue and shouted to the back, "Whoever has a box is willing to vacate it, and someone is willing to pay double the price."
After waiting for a while, no one paid any attention.
"……three times!"
While he was still shouting, a steward from the trance realm immediately came forward and negotiated with him. The big man groaned and closed his mouth.
After a while, there was another commotion in the field.
It turned out that a group of monks in black entered the venue, and their aura was very different from that of ordinary warriors. The leading old monk, with his surging energy and blood, gave people a terrifying feeling like wild beasts. As soon as they entered, they went straight to Tianzi No. 4
box.
After they had completely entered the box, discussions gradually started to sound in the venue.
"Is he an eminent monk from Yanglong Temple?"
"It's really scary. I heard that they have a dragon at their disposal, and they keep it for fun since birth."
"Just talk nonsense, just..."
More important people arrived one after another. Longxiang Temple entered the Tianzi No. 1 box, and Xuedaomen entered the Tianzi No. 2 box. Li Sui'an heard someone shouting below, "It's the Young Governor... and His Royal Highness."
Two young men with extraordinary appearance and aloof demeanor.
Surrounded by a crowd, he entered the Tianzi No. 3 box.
Does such a targeted arrangement represent the ranking of forces between them?
"Longxiang Temple and Blood Knife Sect are still above Fucheng, but Yanglong Temple is a little behind?"
...It is impossible to generalize, maybe there are differences between people who are close to each other.
As the last big shot entered the venue, the auction officially began.
An old man came up to the stage and said, "I am Huang Shirong from the Jiuzhou Chamber of Commerce. I have been engaged in the appraisal industry for more than 50 years. I am known as the 'Golden Eye' in the world. I have been invited to be in charge of this auction. On behalf of the Jiuzhou Chamber of Commerce, Dongsheng Chamber of Commerce, and Yongrun Chamber of Commerce, I would like to welcome you
Dear distinguished guests, I would like to express my gratitude to the Governor's Office and the Kunpeng Government Office for their great help in making this joint auction of the Three Sessions successfully held..."
A very energetic opening statement, but there was very little reaction from the audience.
He didn't waste any time, "Now we have officially entered the auction phase. The first auction is a comprehensive land deed, entrusted by the Kunpeng Mansion Office. All proceeds from the auction will be used for the upcoming Kunpeng Acropolis. The old house of the silk king Xu's family is located on Silk Street.
The house, as well as its thirty-two shops, have a starting price of thirty thousand taels of silver."
The Xu family was once the largest silk merchant on Silk Street, but an evil spirit caused disaster and a hundred years of hard work was wiped out.
In the end, not even an heir was found, and the whole family died cleanly.
But many people still vividly remember the glory of the Xu family. After all... this was only last year.
Li Sui'an quickly calculated in his mind that 30,000 taels is equivalent to 30 million yuan. Buying an abandoned manor next to the CBD in the city can only be regarded as capital preservation, because the Xu family's old house is in ruins and it will cost a lot of money.
Go and repair it. If it is auctioned together with its thirty-two shops, it will basically be given away for free.
Huang Shirong walked to the side of the auction stage, and in the center of the stage, a mist of water rose up.
While everyone was wondering, the water mist evaporated and changed, gradually becoming more colorful, recreating the former bustling appearance of the Xu family's old house, and the locations of thirty-two shops located throughout the city were displayed.
Lifelike and dynamic.
Huang Shirong began to introduce the properties in this auction.
Li Sui'an couldn't help but widen his eyes. Isn't it an alien version of PPT, or a 3D stereoscopic image?
"The effect is all achieved by formation runes?!"
This time it was a knife in the butt - it opened my eyes.
Unexpectedly, there was tens of thousands of taels of business right from the start. This was not recorded in the brochure circulated before the auction. After Huang Shirong finished his introduction, the audience was slightly silent, but some people had obviously gotten the news in advance.
"Thirty-five thousand taels, I, the Gu clan of Longbing City, want it as a contribution to the preparations for the construction of Kunpeng Acropolis."
"It's a joke. The people from Burial Dragon Road want to take advantage of it for 35,000 taels. The Wei clan of Tianpeng City wants it for 40,000 taels."
Once someone opens his mouth, he immediately responds like a cloud.
"Forty-three thousand taels."
"Forty-five thousand taels..."
Li Sui'an was also secretly stunned. There were indeed many people who knew the goods.
With food, clothing, housing and transportation, taking over the Xu family's territory means taking over the silk and cloth business left by the Xu family. This is a good business that can be passed down for generations.
Tianpeng City is the capital city of Wanlin Road, one of the six roads in the north.
Longbing City is the capital of the Dragon Burial Path next door. It was known as the "Longyou Country" in ancient times and is one of the Six Paths in the North.
As the bidding continued to 90,000 taels, the scene gradually died down, leaving only a few people who had bid at the beginning competing. In the end, the price of 98,000 taels was obtained by the Wei family of Tianpeng City.
It seems that Kunpeng City is about to enter a powerful and powerful family again.
This was a great start and very successful.
The price, which almost exceeded 100 million, also left many people stunned.
The subsequent auctions went on in an orderly manner and were finally no longer so exaggerated.
The auction venue gradually became lively, with bids coming and going. There were no windows in the room, and there was no sense of time passing. There were only crazy money games.
"Tiger Demon Bone Forging Pill, ten bottles, produced by the Medicine Master Hall of Longxiang Temple, starting price is 800 taels of silver. Each increase in price shall not be less than 50 taels of silver."
Li Sui'an was shocked. The price of a Yuan Jingqi Pill was 50 taels per bottle. The starting price was not high.
He pulled the tag in front of him.
"Private box No. 15, bid 850 taels, is there anyone who bids higher than him?"
"1,000 taels." A voice came out.
Huang Shirong said loudly: "The bid for box No. 36 is 1,000 taels..."
Li Sui'an followed closely and made a bid, pulling the tag without raising the price much.
"1,050 taels. Private room No. 15 with herringbone, one price increase."
There was a lot of competition, and there were bids in the middle. Box 36 was obviously also interested. However, Li Sui'an followed the price every time, adding the price no more, no less, which made it difficult to find out.
In the end, he gave up and was won by Li Sui'an for 1,850 taels.
Not long after, the waiter came in with a tray. Li Sui'an confirmed it was correct, took out the banknote and handed it over in person.
There were many gains after that. Ten bottles of "Five Elements Strong Belly Pill" cost 2,250 taels; ten bottles of "Marrow Cleansing Pill" cost 2,650 taels; ten bottles of "Guiyuan Pill" cost 1,200 taels; and ten bottles of "Golden Body Tempering Liquid"
It cost 3,500 taels.
If he doesn't take action, he will win. Once he takes action, he will definitely win.
He didn't say anything, he just followed the price every time, and his attitude was very firm.
They are all body tempering resources, and tens of thousands of taels of coins have been spent in a short period of time.
As time goes by and the number of visits increases, the number 15 box with herringbone leaves some impression on people.
Of course, there were not many competitors for body tempering resources, which allowed Li Sui'an to gain a lot of advantages.
When it comes to resources in the realm of gods, the competition suddenly becomes fierce.
"Qingpin soul beads, one hundred pieces, starting price is three thousand taels."
The cyan soul bead is larger than the white soul bead.
Soul beads have always been a relatively stable resource, and their prices occasionally change.
The purchase price of the white soul pearl in the city was only two taels of silver at first, but there were not many people selling it, and later the price increased by three taels of silver.
But once the soul beads enter the green grade, the price will increase more than ten times.
There were many competitors, but it was finally won by Longxiang Temple in the Tianzihao box, and the price had reached 5,000 taels.
Later, the emergence of spiritual resources such as Liangyi Jingsoul Pill, Anshen Incense, Soul Condensing Pill, Tianyuan Soul Casting Pill, etc., brought the auction to a small peak.
It can be seen that rich people are mostly concentrated in the state of trance.
"The famous painting "Herding Dragons" was created by Zhi Huazi, a disciple of the painting saint three thousand years ago, in his later years. It is very well preserved and has a starting price of 10,000 taels."
Li Sui'an had learned painting after all and knew some of the history of painting saints.
The painting sage, whose name is unknown, once painted "Black Territory", which was the first famous painting to record the interior of the abyss in human history. As a result, he became blind and could no longer see anything. His later years are unknown, according to legend
He was cursed by the evil god.
But even though the painting saint was cursed by the evil god and even blind, he still traveled around the world to paint with his heart's eye, and taught countless outstanding disciples.
Zhi Huazi was a leader among the disciples of the Painting Saint. "Herding Dragons" was painted by Zhi Huazi in his later years. At that time, he was already a warrior in the Zhenwu Realm. It recorded the scene of a giant herding a dragon. Because the content is too
It was too exaggerated. It was not favored at the time and was once evaluated as overly imagined.
Nowadays, the number of talents in the painting world is declining, which further highlights the extraordinary nature of "Herding Dragons".
For the purpose of appreciation, Li Sui'an looked at it carefully for a few times, and then he saw the problem.
A huge text bubble appears on the painting.
[Mulong Picture: ‘Walking in the Wilderness’ is a personal experience drawn by Xuan Longzi. It contains the martial arts essence and mysteries of his movement technique ‘Nine Heavenly Steps in the Wilderness’. People with excellent painting skills may be able to understand it. 】
??
Wasn't it done by Zhi Huazi?
But Xuan Longzi is also one of the disciples of Painting Sage.
However, they are not a pure race of humans, but a race of Kuafu giants.
When Li Sui'an was distracted, the price of this painting had skyrocketed, reaching 50,000 taels.
In the end, he was captured by a woman in Box No. 6.
Li Sui'an felt a little sorry, but there was nothing he could do about it.
After a while, he finally got what he wanted.
"Ichthyosaurus... As we all know, the Death Abyss was in turmoil at the beginning of the year. Now the environment below the third level of the Death Abyss is very harsh, and the output of Ichthyosaurus is getting less and less year by year. The efficacy of Ichthyosaurus is not that great.
Introduced, it is unique to the Death Abyss. Because there are many people in demand for Ichthyophora, in order to make everyone enjoy it, the three major chambers of commerce have prepared a total of 10,000 plants for this auction. According to the seller's requirements, they will be divided into one hundred bids. The starting price is five
One thousand taels, each price increase shall not be less than one hundred taels."
Li Sui'an took a deep breath.
He was already prepared to "go bankrupt", but fortunately the price was still affordable.
Looking at the banknotes in my hand, I saw that I had brought more than two hundred thousand taels of silver this time.
It is almost the savings of several generations of Lao Li’s family.
Among them, the gold collected from the Sun family's stone chamber was converted into silver, which amounted to thirty thousand taels.
Now that I think about it, I really regret it.
Why didn't you take more at first?
"You are really greedy and cowardly. The mentality of the common people in the previous life has not changed yet."
The first time the bidding for 100 ichthyosaurus plants was fierce, the price was directly raised to 8,000 taels. The second time, he was much calmer. Li Sui'an made a decisive bid and won 100 plants at the price of 6,500 taels.
According to the prescription requirements of "A Night of Fish and Dragon Dance", one plant is needed for each foot bath.
One hundred plants are only enough to soak for three months.
It is inevitable that the materials needed for the next upgrade of the [Foot Soaking] magical skill will be difficult to gather. Naturally, prepare as many medicinal materials as you can for "A Night of Fish and Dragon Dance".
After several more moves, once the price climbed to 8,000 taels, he stopped.
There were a few times when the bidding was not very enthusiastic, but the price never fell below the 6,000 range.
Li Sui'an keenly grasped people's hearts and took advantage of his mood to take action. He also spent a total of 89,000 taels to snatch 1,200 fish dragon grasses.
The average price is more than 7,400 taels.
Li Sui'an noticed that the one who had been actively participating in the competition was the Dragon Nest clan sitting in the corner of the hall.
Every time I made a bid, I raised the price to 8,000 taels several times. I spent a lot of money, but I couldn't get many fish and dragon grass.
Li Sui'an sighed inwardly, knowing that it would be impossible to get the Ichthyosaurus so easily in the future.
Still not rich, otherwise I would have taken it all.
Note: I’m still counting on the money system until it collapses.
