It has to be said that due to the upcoming large-scale auction to celebrate the 35th anniversary of the Cornucopia, the surrounding businesses, especially the inns, have also raised their prices. House prices and food prices are nearly ten times more expensive than usual!
However, despite this, there is still an endless stream of wealthy people from all over the world who come to stay.
The inn where Lei Ren lives can only be regarded as a mid-range inn near the Cornucopia, but the cost is still surprisingly expensive. And the rich, especially the rich, basically stay in the luxurious private suites specially designed in the Cornucopia.
.
Lei Ren has always been low-key. He has experienced all kinds of environments, so he is not picky about accommodation. But the accommodation conditions of the inn that night still made Lei Ren extremely uncomfortable. There was not even a toilet, and there was no hot water in the room.
The accommodation conditions of this kind of wooden bed actually cost one hundred taels of silver a night. Lei Ren felt that these people could go and steal the money.
The next day, when Lei Ren was having dinner at the inn, he heard someone discussing in the inn that they were going to participate in the auction and were selling tickets for ten taels of silver per person to prevent unrelated people from getting in and fishing in troubled waters.
Lei Ren had no choice but to go to the Cornucopia Auction House with a well-dressed young man.
On the way, the young man asked: "Brother, are you a foreigner? What are you here for when you come to Raging Fire City to participate in this auction?"
Of course Lei Ren would not tell the truth: "Oh, I just came to take a look. I don't have any money, haha, so I don't dare to buy anything."
When the young man heard this, he raised his head, patted the brocade clothes on his body, and said proudly: "That's the person who comes in and out of the cornucopia. Isn't that a rich merchant or aristocrat? If you don't have money to go in, you can only stare. Brother, I
My name is Chen Zichong, he is the second son of the master of the Yunhai Sect in Bermuda City. Haha, I am here this time for the "Thunder Palm" worth three million taels of silver. If you have no money, follow me and I will help you grow up.
Long experience.”
When Lei Ren heard this, he just smiled and said nothing.
Chen Zichong was a proud son of a rich family. When he saw Lei Ren dressed in plain clothes, he thought Lei Ren was a poor disciple and didn't take him seriously.
The two bought tickets. Chen Zichong wanted to invite Lei Ren to Ao Qi Qian Yun, but Lei Ren did not agree.
When he came out, Chen Zichong introduced: "This Cornucopia Auction House is also divided into ordinary venues, VIP venues and supreme venues. The prices of the treasures auctioned in each venue are different."
Lei Ren asked: "What's the difference?"
Chen Zichong said proudly: "It's very simple. Everything depends on the silver. For example, the guaranteed price of a treasure at an ordinary auction is one thousand taels of silver. This kind of garbage will only cost hundreds of thousands of taels of silver at the end of the auction; and VIPs
Things on the market are the most convenient
The starting price for Yi's treasures is one hundred thousand taels. There are many rich people here, and the competition has become fierce. You can easily get tens of millions of taels of silver. Some even lose tens of millions of taels of silver if you are not careful.
, this is the magic of the auction house.”
"Ahem, as for the Supreme Court, the auction house is only open when there are god-level treasures. The items auctioned there are all rare treasures. So far, the Cornucopia has opened the Supreme Court sixteen times.
Among them, the lowest starting price is twelve million taels of silver...Tsk, tsk, the people in the Supreme Court are all big shots, and the things in there are not things that small people like you can care about."
Lei Ren suddenly realized and said: "Then this time the 35th anniversary of the Cornucopia, will the Supreme Field be open?"
Chen Zichong said: "We have not received any news so far. This cornucopia will not be opened just because you want to open a room. It depends on whether there are suitable rare treasures flowing into the market. When the Supreme Court will be opened will be decided based on the arrival of the treasure."
As they talked, the two of them had returned to the inn. Chen Zichong insisted on inviting Lei Ren to dinner, but Lei Ren refused, so the two of them started feasting on meat and fish in the inn.
"Let me tell you, I brought out more than four million taels of silver when I went out this time. The starting price of "Thunder Palm" is 150,000 taels of silver. I did the math. I am determined to get this secret book of cultivation. Hehe,
Brother Lei Ren, I will open your eyes the day after tomorrow. I guess you have never seen so much money in your life, right? If you live frugally, it will be enough for you to spend several lifetimes."
Lei Ren was speechless, he just laughed and said nothing.
When he went out, he also calculated the silver that Chu Yunlong gave him. The total of the spoils from his many killings and swindling was 41.25 million taels of silver, and there were more than 10,000 poly coins.
Qi Dan.
He originally thought that the money was a lot, but after listening to Chen Zichong's "eloquent talk", Lei Ren felt deeply that he was "poor". If he entered the Supreme Field, his little money would not be enough to fill the teeth of those big shots, right?
In the blink of an eye, the third day arrived. On this day, the Cornucopia Auction House opened. The general and VIP areas were opened at the same time. Countless people filed in and talked about it. These people included wealthy businessmen and nobles, but most of them were cultivators from sects.
, After all, the most auctioned items at auctions are weapons, cultivation secrets, elixirs, etc. These things are often very attractive to cultivators.
In the sea of people, Lei Ren and Chen Zichong squeezed into the VIP venue.
This is a place with a vast space. In the middle is a huge round platform, which is about one meter higher than the surrounding seats. This is the rostrum.
Around the rostrum, rows of seats spread out. Lei Ren glanced at it and roughly estimated that there were at least two thousand seats. Each seat had a number and corresponding sign. As long as there was admission,
Those who hold the coupons can hold up their placards to make bids and participate in the bidding.
There are three rows of nearly 200 luxuriously decorated seats near the podium. These are VIP seats. The ticket for the VIP seats costs one hundred taels of silver. Of course, having money is not enough. It must be from a large sect or a big family.
Only high-ranking figures or young masters from aristocratic families will do.
The numbered necklaces of Lei Ren and Chen Zichong, Chen Zichong No. 1102, Lei Ren No. 1101.
After everyone entered the venue, the whole place was filled with excitement and voices. It was difficult to hear people talking clearly even if they were nearby.
Boom! Boom!
After a while, the bell rang in the venue, and then the entire venue gradually became quiet. Everyone sat back in their seats and focused their attention on the podium.
Behind the rostrum, a door opened, and then, a blond beauty with a perfect figure and a height of 1.7 meters, wearing a purple cheongsam-like dress, walked out.
"oh!"
This is a beautiful beauty. As soon as she appeared, the whole place suddenly heard exclamations and whispers.
Lei Ren heard many male compatriots swallowing their saliva.
"Damn, they're all a bunch of perverts!"
Lei Ren despised those people in his heart, and then swallowed hard.
