Chapter 527: The fierce competition at the auction
Liu Qinghuan landed in front of the gorgeous main hall of Shanhai Trading Company and frowned slightly at the crowded scene.
Today is the last day of the auction, and the grandest and most important final event is about to be held. However, this also makes many ordinary monks have no qualifications to enter the auction, and can only watch from a distance outside Shanhai Trading House.
The people in the trading house worked hard to maintain order and make way for a clear path in the middle.
Liu Qinghuan brushed his sleeves, strode forward, and took out his invitation letter.
The guards immediately separated. A monk who looked like a steward looked at the invitation in his hand, and his attitude became more and more respectful. He bowed and said, "Dear guest, please come this way."
Following this man, Liu Qinghuan entered Shanhai Trading Company, walking through flowers and willows all the way to the auction place at the innermost place.
Noticing that his eyes were on those palaces that had no trace of burning, the steward gossiped: "...it took a lot of effort to repair it to the point where it was almost repaired. Even the flowers and willows were recently planted.
"
Liu Qinghuan asked: "I heard that you lost a batch of furnace cauldrons, have you recovered them?"
The steward sighed: "Those nasty thieves hid so well that they didn't even find any traces."
"That's a pity. This auction will lose a lot of fun because of it."
"Dear guest, you are overly worried. You can rest assured that our Shanhai Trading Company has specially added several rare and rare treasures for this purpose. You will definitely gain a great harvest tonight!"
While talking, the two of them arrived in front of a large hall, passed through extremely tight guards, passed through two magic circles, and entered the heart of the mountain.
The long passage covered with dark red carpet looked luxurious and low-key. The steward led the way and said: "Do you want to sit in the hall outside, or do you need a separate room? You have the highest-level invitation, so you can
Choose a wing where you won’t be disturbed at all.”
"Let's go to the wing."
Soon, he was led into an elegantly furnished small room. There was a large window on the outer wall, covered with a light curtain as transparent as water, blocking out all prying eyes.
The steward clapped his hands, and immediately two maids came in, one offering tea, the other carrying a tray.
The steward presented the number plate above to Liu Qinghuan: "During the auction, as long as you raise the number plate and announce your bid, you can hear it immediately outside."
Liu Qinghuan sat down on the carved wooden chair in front of her, waved her hand and said, "Well, you all can step back."
"Okay, these two maids will be waiting outside the door. If you have anything to do, you can just give them orders."
The three people filed out and closed the door gently.
The room immediately became quiet. Liu Qinghuan took a sip of tea and turned to look out the window.
The lobby below is clearly visible, the space is spacious and bright, and countless seats are distributed around a slightly raised semi-curved stone platform, on which several graceful veiled women are dancing gracefully to the music.
Many people were already sitting in the outer seats, and a hum of low voices enveloped the entire lobby.
Opposite him were identical rooms, with only the hazy watery light curtain outside visible.
Probably the Bu brothers and Chang Xi from the Youying family were in one of them. A few days ago, Bu Xi came to invite him to attend the auction, but Liu Qinghuan found a reason to refuse.
There was still a while before the start. He sipped the tea slowly and waited quietly. At the same time, he guessed at which time his Divine Whey Qi Pill would appear, and at what time his Taoist Yue, who had the body of Xuanyin, would be placed.
Bit.
Liu Changchun of Yuxinzhai sent him a message yesterday that the Blood Burning Pill had been auctioned that day, worth 600,000 low-grade spiritual stones.
As the female cultivators who were dancing for fun retired, an energetic Yuanying old man walked onto the stage, and the entire hall immediately fell silent, followed by a sudden exclamation of surprise.
"It's Senior Guizhen!" Someone shouted: "Senior, if the outside world knows that you are hosting this auction, they will squeeze in even if they have to squeeze through."
"Master Gui Sheng, I am going to refine a spiritual weapon. Master, if you are free, I would like to pay you a visit after the auction."
"What a wonderful idea you have! Master has not been out of the mountain for a long time, why should I entertain you? Master, I have all the materials ready, please help me refine a defensive magic weapon..."
Liu Qinghuan was a little surprised. It seemed that the Yuanying monk on the stage was actually a forging master.
When Gui Zhen raised his hand, all the noise immediately disappeared. He raised his hand with a smile and said, "Thank you for your respect, but today is the auction of the three realms jointly organized by the Floating Moon Realm, the Dark Moon Realm, and the Shuo Yue Realm. If necessary,
Ask me to refine the magic weapon, but come to me after the meeting. Don’t overdo it now.”
His words made the atmosphere in the venue even more lively. After another burst of noise passed, Gui Xuan stopped smiling and said seriously: "I have been asked by Shanhai Trading Company to host this auction. On behalf of the trading company, I would like to thank you all for coming. For this reason, we
We have specially prepared some rare treasures for you to appreciate and collect. In addition, because the items in this auction are extremely valuable, they should all be priced in mid-grade spiritual stones. Now, please take the first lot!"
What appeared on the stage was a large object that was as tall as a person. It looked like a cage, tightly covered by a thick black curtain.
Liu Qinghuan glanced at it and thought casually: Could the first lot be some kind of spiritual beast?
"Everyone, I think everyone knows about Xuanyin's body!"
Liu Qinghuan shook his hand and poured warm tea on the back of his hand. Without even looking at it, he put the tea cup on the table, sat up straight and looked down through the light curtain.
There was a buzz in the entire lobby. No one expected that Shanhai Trading Company would make a heavy move on the first lot and put the captured golden elixir female cultivator first. The atmosphere was originally a bit casual.
It became heated, and countless eager eyes were cast on the cage on the stage.
Gui Xuan was obviously very satisfied with the effect of his words: "Although the body of Xuanyin is only one word different from the body of pure yin, the difference between the two is not small. Both of them are owned by female cultivators.
The best type of physique, the cultivation progresses very quickly, and there are few bottlenecks. The Xuanyin body is even more rare because the body has its own cycle, like a small world. Whether it is a dual cultivation with it, or as a furnace
, the female body of Xuanyin can help male cultivators improve their cultivation to the maximum extent, neutralize yin and yang, and also have the effect of breaking through bottlenecks."
With a wave of his hand, the thick black cloth curtain was opened, revealing a cage made of unknown black ore, inside which sat a female nun wearing a pure white dress.
The female cultivator lowered her head, and her long ink-like hair spread down, blocking her face, but her appearance could be seen from the exposed straight tip of her pen and her white chin. Her limbs were tied to a black
On the chair, his skin was covered with snow.
As the thick curtains were all opened, the female cultivator raised her head, her frosty eyes glancing over the greedy gazes of the audience.
Liu Qinghuan almost broke the tea cup and stood up with a sigh.
Why is it her!
Back then, he wandered to Sao Feng Continent and entered the Ruins of No Return to search for the teleportation circle. He once encountered a group of sisters named Yue. Because the two had planned to follow him, the two parties did not get along well. Then they met in a mass grave.
A large skeleton made of countless white bones, this team of sisters used escape techniques at the critical moment and disappeared into the dilapidated general's tomb.
Later, the two of them did not appear again. He thought that they had perished in Bugui Ruins, but he did not expect to see his sister, Yue Weiyang, again on such an occasion.
Liu Qinghuan sat down with a gloomy expression. After rescuing the female nuns, he was mainly responsible for various external affairs. He only met them briefly, while Liang Jing'an was responsible for communicating with them.
Therefore, he had no idea that the captured golden elixir female cultivator was Yue Weiyang. But even if he knew the name, there were so many people with the same name in the world, it was unlikely that he would have thought that it was the female cultivator he had known many years ago.
The bidding below has soared from the low price of 10,000 medium-grade spiritual stones to 15,000, and is still rising.
"Twenty thousand."
A cold and high-pitched voice sounded, and someone finally joined the bidding for the wing upstairs, and the price was raised a lot.
Liu Qinghuan looked at the opposite room, thinking flashed in his eyes. Twenty thousand middle-grade spiritual stones is equivalent to two million low-grade spiritual stones, which is not low.
Starting from this voice, the number of bidders in the lobby below slowly decreased, and the battlefield moved to the various rooms above.
"Twenty thousand."
"Twenty-two thousand."
"Twenty-three thousand."
As if dissatisfied with the slow bidding, the cold male voice revealed his impatience: "Thirty thousand!"
As soon as this price was announced, the entire auction fell into silence.
Liu Qinghuan slowly wiped away the spilled tea on the table, and heard the ghost below shouting loudly: "Is there any other Taoist friends who bid? Thirty thousand middle-grade spiritual stones for the first time..."
Liu Qinghuan frowned and picked up the number plate on the table. But before he could raise his hand, he heard a chuckle coming from a wing on the left, and a woman's soft voice followed: "Thirty thousand and one yuan."
Taste the Spiritual Stone."
Liu Qinghuan was startled. He heard that the voice belonged to Chang Xi.
The whole place was in an uproar.
"He, there is actually a woman coming to buy a woman!"
"This world... is simply hell!"
"Adding a spiritual stone is a deliberate attempt to cause trouble."
The man opposite sneered and said: "Chang Xi, do you want to be an enemy of my Zhuzhao family? Are you going to buy it back for viewing?"
Chang Xi's joyful voice sounded again: "It's as if we are not enemies. As for why I bought it back, Di Xin, you still don't care! Senior Guixun, is it time for you to count?"
Gui Xuan, who was watching the excitement, coughed twice: "Fellow Taoist in Wing No. 5, the price will be increased by at least one thousand medium-grade spiritual stones each time."
Chang Xi said again nonchalantly: "Thirty thousand and one."
The opposite quote was: "Thirty-two thousand."
Chang Xi immediately followed: "Thirty-three thousand."
"Thirty-four thousand."
"Thirty-five thousand."
"Forty thousand! You witch named Chang, I'm not done with you!"
"Forty-one! You short-lived ghost, prepare to be burned to death."
Liu Qinghuan slowly put down his hand and decided to wait and see what happened.
The two parties kept raising prices back and forth, interspersed with tit-for-tat curses and insults. Other theatergoers were so excited that no one else raised the price.
There was no one present who was not from a sect or aristocratic family. Knowing that the two top aristocratic families were competing endlessly, how could they get involved. Even those who were interested in taking pictures of Xuanyin's female body stopped thinking at this time.
The price quickly rose to 50,000. The male cultivator named Di Xin was probably crazy. His voice was extremely cold and he shouted loudly: "Sixty thousand! Witch, what if I give it to you? You can just keep the mirror."
Bar!"
He said sternly: "Sixty thousand! If anyone adds another spiritual stone, I, the Chizhao Family, will give it to you!"
The whole place was in uproar.
Sixty thousand mid-grade spiritual stones is equivalent to six million low-grade spiritual stones, which is also equivalent to 60 high-grade spiritual stones. Isn’t this price too high just for a female cultivator with a Xuanyin body?
Moreover, this person directly mentioned his family name, which was a clear threat.
Yue Weiyang on the stage lowered his eyes indifferently, not caring at all about the fierce bidding he caused.
Chang Xi was not angered by Di Xin's words, and said lazily: "You are really rich. Six million low-grade spiritual stones can buy a furnace. I just don't know if she can understand the scorching sun fire in your body that is about to explode."
.Forget it, just do one good deed that day and leave it to you."
With just one sentence, his hidden illness was exposed in front of the public. Di Xin gritted his teeth: "You!"
Gui Xuan immediately answered with a wink, "Okay, now the bid for box number 15 is 60,000 medium-grade spiritual stones, but is there anyone left to bid? 60,000 for the first time, 60,000 for the second time..."
"Sixty thousand." An old and deep voice suddenly sounded.
Gui Xuan choked, raised his head in surprise, and looked at Wing No. 7.
Everyone in the venue became silent due to this sudden intervention. They all looked towards Wing Room No. 7, but could only see a slightly undulating water-like light curtain.
The light curtain in Box No. 15 shattered with a bang, and a furious face was revealed, with a sharp sword-like gaze directed towards the opposite side.
Liu Qinghuan put down his number plate and raised his eyes unmoved.
Opposite him was indeed the young man he met by chance at Shanhai Trading Company that day, but because of his overwhelming anger, he was not as green and white as that day, but as red as if he was about to burn up.
"The person opposite, tell me your name!"
Liu Qinghuan smiled coldly, opened his mouth, and said in an old and hoarse voice: "Fellow Taoist Ghost, can you still use coercion at your auction?"
Even as a Nascent Soul monk, Gui Xuan felt a lot of pressure at this time and replied: "If fellow Taoist disciples don't want to show up, they naturally have the right not to show up."
He turned around and said: "Emperor's nephew, please don't get excited and sit down first... Uh, do you still want to increase the price?"
Di Xin's face turned blue and white in turns. He had made bold statements before, but now he had the shame to go back on his words in public.
He waved his hand, and the light curtain in the wing closed again, and a voice like ice shards came out: "If you have money to buy it, I'm afraid you won't live to enjoy it."
Liu Qinghuan's eyes sharpened and he said calmly: "The sun is shining? Huh, do you really think that you are the best family in the three realms of the Yin and Moon Blood Realm? How dare a junior from a small family be so presumptuous? Today's world of immortality has fallen to this
Has it reached the point?"
Wow!
"Who is this person? What a loud tone!"
"If you dare to confront the Zhuzhao family directly, it's normal for you to speak louder!"
"He can't be some hidden master, right? Who knows who the person in box No. 7 is."
Liu Qinghuan is very satisfied with the following remarks. I hope this pretense can last longer, as long as it lasts until the end of the auction. Thanks to Qingcao Feijian, Zhenxiang Emperor, Niba Sister, Idle Man 323, Ru Ru, gtx666, Fei Yue
