Putting on the bamboo hat, he walked on the street for a while, and then came to the door of a building with a large green plaque that read 'Karan City Auction House'.
After crossing the threshold, I saw that the spacious pavilion was filled with people coming to trade. There were constant quarrels, laughter and curses from the lively crowd.
This lively scene shows that the popularity here is extremely popular. Chen Tian is not surprised at all by the popularity of Kalan City Auction House.
After all, it is the largest sales store within a hundred miles of dialect. If it is not so popular, wouldn't it be a shame for its reputation as the largest sales store?
Chen Tian did not join in the fun with the crowd, but walked through the crowd, then turned left and came to a long corridor hung with black curtains.
People kept coming out of it. Those people all wore black hats on their heads. Like Chen Tian, they did not want to reveal their identities.
After another person walked out, Chen Tian opened the curtain and walked into the dark corridor. The Kalan City Auction House was divided into light and dark.
The overt part is to auction the items consigned by the customers and collect handling fees from them. The secret part is the auction house's main business. Things collected from mercenaries or bandits are priced according to the market price and then sold in the secret part.
Inside the corridor, there is secret trading.
The corridor was not too long, and Chen Tian soon reached the end. At the end was the size of a small room, with a counter separated by fine iron, and customers could only stand outside the counter to conduct transactions.
There is an old man in black sitting at the counter, he is the person in charge here.
Seeing no one around, Chen Tian walked to the counter, looked at the old man in black, took out a piece of paper with the name of the elixir from his sleeve, put it on the window, and asked: "Is there any elixir written on the note?"
medicine?"
The old man in black raised his head and glanced at Chen Tian, then stretched out his skinny hands and picked up the note placed on the window. When he saw the elixir recorded on it, he frowned, then looked up at Chen Tian and gave an old
The voice said, "Wait a minute, I'm going to check."
After the words fell, the old man in black closed the window. After about ten minutes, the window opened again. The old man in black appeared in front of Chen Tian again and said, "There are other elixirs, but the purple lotus is gone."
Hearing the old man's words, Chen Tian frowned. If he couldn't get it together, it would be difficult. This purple lotus is extremely difficult to find, and there is no one outside. He shook his head and said to the old man: "Can you check again?"
Hearing this, a trace of helplessness flashed in the old man's eyes. After hesitating for a moment, he went back to search. After a while, the old man came back again and said, "Good luck to you. There is a purple lotus at the bottom that has not been sold yet."
go out."
"Yes." Although Chen Tian was happy in his heart, he nodded indifferently and asked, "How much does five elixirs cost?"
"Nine gold coins." The old man wrapped the elixir in a black pouch and said.
Chen Tian nodded, took out nine gold coins from his pocket and placed them on the table. Unexpectedly, they were much cheaper than expected. It seemed that borrowing money from his sister was unnecessary.
"Wait a minute." Just as Chen Tian was about to take the elixir, a rather gloomy voice came from behind him. Then he saw an old man in a cloak walking to the stage and said with a sinister smile: "I want that purple lotus."
."
"It's Lord Xiaoye." The old man in the window responded with a compliment, then took out the purple lotus flower from the black pouch and handed it to Xiaoye. It looked like a slave meeting his master.
Chen Tian frowned and clenched his hands instantly. He did not expect such a change to happen, but looking at the respectful look of the old man in black, he knew that Xiaoye was definitely a person.
This auction house in Kalan City is rich and powerful, and its strength is not weaker than any of the four major families, but because it has not established a clan, it is not included in the four major families.
And for people in the auction house to respect him so much, he seems to be an incredible person.
Na Xiaoye took the purple lotus under the gaze of Chen Tian. When he was about to leave, he saw Chen Tian clenching his hands. He laughed jokingly, made a strong gesture, and then walked towards the corridor.
go out.
"I have only reached the middle stage of second-level medicine training. I am arrogant because of my talent. If I don't practice well, I will only compete with others. No wonder I can't break through." Just as Chen Tian was angry, an unknown sigh came from his mind.
After hearing Wuming's words, Chen Tian finally understood the reason why Xiaoye was so respected by others. Looking at the second-grade alchemist, no one in the entire Kalan City dared to offend him. Even spiritual masters had to be polite when they encountered him.
Three points.
"Don't argue with this kind of person. The future is long. With your talent, you will be able to surpass him in no time." The nameless voice came again in my mind.
"Yes." Chen Tian moved his chin slightly, then loosened his clenched fists and asked in a deep voice: "How much are the four elixirs?"
"Six gold coins", the old man was not so polite to Chen Tian, and replied with a hint of emotion from Bu Dai.
Chen Tian took back three gold coins, then took the black pouch containing the elixir, turned and walked out. "Teacher, what should I do if I don't have the purple lotus now? This purple lotus is hard to find!"
"Haha, it doesn't matter. The Baiwei Guo you just saw is also fine, but it depends on whether you can use it or not." Wuming laughed and said.
"Okay, that's the only way." Chen Tian shook his head helplessly. Although the Baiwei Guo sold for five gold coins, it was indeed a bit expensive, but he could only buy it. If he really wanted to look for the Purple Lotus slowly,
, he doesn’t have much time.
After walking out of the auction house, Chen Tian wandered around for a while, then walked to a remote place, then put down the black hat and threw it away.
Returning to the small stall just now, he found that the man was about to close the stall and leave. Seeing this, Chen Tian asked: "Boss, I want the Baiwei Guo."
When the man wearing a black hat heard Chen Tian's words, he stopped what he was doing and looked up at the person. When he saw the person who had just asked the question, he said, "Five gold coins, no two prices."
Chen Tian shook his head and smiled bitterly. Selling things like this is considered a skill. He left five gold coins behind, and Chen Tian had a black bag in his hand.
Walking on the way home, Chen Tian was a little careless, and from time to time, Xiaoye's joking smile before leaving flashed in his mind. In this star continent where the strong are respected, without strong strength, you can only let others step on you.
The past two years have made him deeply understand the importance of strength. If he hadn't become a useless person, wouldn't anyone in his family dare to laugh at him? If he had enough strength, how could that Xiaoye dare to make a mockery of him just now?
A look of determination flashed across his young face, and then he looked at the surrounding environment and realized that it was already afternoon before he knew it. He immediately quickened his pace and walked quickly towards home. He had to get back before it got dark, otherwise
, he didn’t know if his father would check it out.
When Chen Tian returned to the hut where he lived, the sun was just setting in the mountains. He checked his sister's voice casually and found out that his father did not come to check. Chen Tian was relieved.
