Regarding Qin Yun's suggestion, Sun Chengdong nodded hastily in agreement, as if he was afraid that Qin Yun would regret it.
Xuanwu City is an important place at the gate of Tiancheng Sword Sect. It is by no means comparable to Heishanfang City. Being able to settle in the city is a thousand times better than living in fear here, not to mention that there will be a chance for Sun Xiaolan to become a disciple of Sword Sect in the future.
.
"You don't have to worry about your daily life. You can go to my senior sister's Danfu Workshop to help me." Qin Yun continued: "At least there is no problem with food and clothing."
The consumption in Xuanwu City is very high, but just to support the family is still very simple. Just two pieces of spiritual jade can be enough for the grandparents and grandchildren to live comfortably for several years.
Sun Chengdong burst into tears with gratitude. He wiped the turbid tears on his old face and suddenly stood up: "Benefactor, please wait here. I'll go and be right back."
Sun Chengdong left quickly and came back quickly. He brought back something wrapped in layers of linen.
It can be seen that the old man cherishes this item very much. The fabric is much thicker and cleaner than the clothes he wears, and there are no sewn patches.
Holding his hands in front of Qin Yun, he said solemnly: "Benefactor, I really have nothing else to repay your kindness. This is the Iron Scroll Alchemy Book passed down from my family. Please accept it!"
Qin Yun was stunned and immediately declined: "Old man Sun, I am not helping you and Xiaolan to covet your things. Since it is your family heirloom, how can I accept it?
"Actually, this thing in my hands is no different from trash, because it is impossible for me to find out the secret hidden inside." Sun Chengdong smiled bitterly: "Benefactor, this is my only reward, please don't refuse!"
Qin Yun vaguely understood. Although the old man in front of him was so depressed that he had to live with his granddaughter, he still had arrogance and self-respect in his bones and was unwilling to accept favors from others in vain.
So Qin Yun still accepted it.
Under Sun Chengdong's expectant gaze, Qin Yun opened the linen wrapped outside, and what was hidden deep inside appeared in front of his eyes.
This so-called Iron Scroll Alchemy Book is nearly a foot long. It is about the thickness of an arm and is very heavy. It looks like an edict scroll, but it is stained with rust on the surface. It should be very old.
If you look at it from the surface, it is just a piece of iron rod with some appearance, and there is nothing attractive about it.
Qin Yun tried tapping his fingers to input a ray of true energy. The iron scroll had a low echo and was not hollow, and the injected true energy disappeared like a mud cow into the sea.
All in all, it is hard for people to believe that such a thing could contain any secrets. It is completely normal for Sun Chengdong to be looked down upon and denounced as a liar in Heishanfang City.
"It feels a little special. I'll show it to the master when I get back..." Qin Yun couldn't bear to disappoint the old man, so he simply rewrapped the Iron Scroll Alchemy Book and stuffed it into his arms: "I'll accept it!"
In his opinion, Sun Chengdong is not a liar, but he just stubbornly believes in his family heirlooms.
Sun Chengdong was immediately relieved. This thing had simply become a worry for him. Now that it was given to Qin Yun, it also became a worry for him.
"I'm going to attend an auction in the evening. I'll arrange for you to stay at the hotel first." Qin Yun said, "We'll set off early tomorrow morning!"
There are many hotels and inns in Heishanfang City, and most of them have backgrounds. The Yuelai Inn chosen by Qin Yun is closely related to the Tiancheng Sword Sect. When you stay there, you don't have to worry about the gangsters like Zhenweitang coming back to disturb you.
However, the price is not cheap. Qin Yun made it clear that he is a disciple of the Sword Sect. A night stay in two guest rooms actually costs a piece of spiritual jade. You should know that such a price can buy a house elsewhere. It is simply a black shop that rips off people!
After settling down Sun Chengdong, his ancestors, and his grandson, Qin Yun rested in his room for two hours to recharge his batteries. He waited until nightfall before leaving the inn and heading to the Fangshi Auction House.
Even though it was night, the lights around the auction house were still bright, and the excitement was no less lively than during the day.
At the entrance of the auction house, there were beautiful maids and fierce warriors standing there to greet the wealthy businessmen, nobles, swordsmen and qigong masters who came to attend the auction.
With the VIP talisman presented by Pang Tong, Qin Yun entered the auction house smoothly and sat down at the auction table under the guidance of the maid. The service was extremely attentive.
However, Qin Yun refused the mask given by the maid. He simply came to see the fun and broaden his horizons, and did not participate in bidding and competition with others. There was no need to worry about being targeted by others.
According to the rules of the auction house, as long as they leave the auction house, the chamber of commerce hosting the auction will not guarantee the safety of guests and items, so many people will take care to cover themselves up.
The interior of the large auction house is very much like a theater, decorated with splendor and luxury. There is a wide wooden stage in front, and rows of seats are placed around it. There is also a special private box at the end, which is enough to accommodate hundreds of people.
join.
There was an endless stream of people coming to the Jubaozhai auction, most of them wearing masks, and soon the whole auction house was packed. Just by looking at this scene, you can judge the strength of the organizer.
Many maids in white dresses walked back and forth between the seats carrying dinner plates, serving drinks and snacks to the guests. There were heavily armed warriors guarding the auction table on both sides, and everything looked in order.
Not long after, a high-spirited middle-aged man strode onto the auction stage, and the whole place suddenly became quiet.
I saw this personable middle-aged man saying with a smile: "Welcome to the Jubaozhai auction. I am the auctioneer tonight, and I will offer you rare treasures from the vast Kyushu!"
Polite applause broke out. It is said that this is a etiquette from the Western Regions of the mainland. Like the auctions that also came from the Western Regions, they are very popular in several eastern states.
The auctioneer raised his hand, and immediately a burly and muscular warrior came over holding a huge silver plate.
He uncovered the silk cloth covering the silver plate, and the first lot immediately appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
Shockingly, there are two stacks of talismans!
Someone at the auction seat immediately sneered. They had seen many rare treasures, and spiritual talismans and treasure talismans were also common. But when had they seen a yellow talisman being put on the auction table in a grand manner?
If Jubaozhai hadn't always had an outstanding reputation, I'm afraid the whole crowd would have burst into laughter.
Qin Yun was even more surprised because he did not expect that the talisman he refined would be the first item to be auctioned.
But it’s normal to think about it. After all, yellow talismans are yellow talismans. If there weren’t a large enough number, it would be impossible for Jubaozhai to accept them for auction. It makes sense to be the first one to take them out.
The best things are always left at the end.
The smile on the auctioneer's face remained unchanged. He pointed at the talismans on the silver plate and said loudly: "Our first auction tonight is a total of 999 packaged top-quality fire gathering talismans. It has been evaluated that the power is not high when used.
Lose to ordinary cloud symbols!"
Nearly a thousand top-quality fire-gathering talismans! There was a buzz of discussion and exclamation in the auction room.
Nine hundred and ninety-nine? Qin Yun understood immediately, because one of them had been used by Jubaozhai for appraisal.
The people who can participate in the evening auction are either rich or noble, and have good knowledge and experience, but none of them have seen thousands of top-quality talismans at once, even yellow talismans!
The auctioneer was extremely experienced. Before everyone could wake up, he immediately shouted loudly: "Nine hundred and ninety-nine top-quality fire-gathering talismans. The starting price is two hundred spirit jade, and the price will be increased by ten spirit jade each time!"
Qin Yun had to admire Jubao Zhai. They valued their top-quality fire gathering talisman quite accurately. Now in the Shuixin Dan Talisman Shop in Xuanwu City, there are almost four pieces of spiritual jade for one piece. Some time ago, they once sold one piece.
Three pieces of spiritual jade.
"I'll give you two hundred and ten spiritual jade!"
"Add twenty!"
"Two hundred and forty spiritual jade!"
Immediately, someone raised their hands and started to compete with each other by increasing the price, and there were quite a few people competing.
Although the yellow talisman is the lowest level talisman, it still has advantages, such as being cheap, easy to use, and extremely convenient to carry.
The top-quality yellow talisman refined by Qin Yun has a power that is not weaker than the ordinary cloud talisman, and the price is lower than that of the cloud talisman. In addition, the quantity is so amazing, so it is naturally very attractive.
"Two hundred and sixty spiritual jade!"
"Two hundred and eighty!"
It is difficult to feel the fierce competition without being there. Qin Yun, who participated in the auction for the first time, could not help but be infected by the enthusiastic bidding atmosphere, and even had the urge to join in and raise the price.
Fortunately, he had a strong mind and enough sense to avoid doing anything that he might regret.
But no matter what, live auctions are much more interesting than shopping in stores and haggling at street stalls.
The competition for the best talismans calmed down after it reached three hundred spirit jade. The competition between four or five people turned into a contest between two people. The price increase was also based on the minimum amount of ten spirit jade.
In the end, nearly a thousand top-quality fire-gathering talismans were snapped up for a price of three hundred and eighty jade.
Qin Yun was extremely satisfied with this auction price. You must know that when Xuanwu City was selling at its hottest, it had never been sold at such a high price.
But for Jubaozhai's auction, this is just the beginning. Various items will be auctioned next, including elixirs, talismans, magical weapons, and rare treasures. Some of them are rare and rare.
Yundu has never heard of it, and you have to listen to the auctioneer's introduction to know its origin and use.
The prices of these lots ranged from a few hundred to several thousand or even tens of thousands of jade, triggering waves of bidding at the scene, and the atmosphere became increasingly lively.
In particular, the final piece was a rare piece of black ink marrow jade. After dozens of attempts, it was finally auctioned off for 70,000 jade, setting the highest price in the auction.
Watching Qin Yun from beginning to end was definitely an eye-opener, and he felt that his visit to Heishanfang City was really worthwhile.
After the auction officially ended, Qin Yun got his own spiritual jade from the steward of Jubaozhai. Because the auction commission was all paid by the buyer, all three hundred and eighty pieces of spiritual jade fell into his pocket.
