When the seller heard someone asking about the price, he immediately became energetic. He reached out and picked up the elixir, and said with a smile: "Young man, you really have good eyesight. This is an elixir that has been passed down from ancient times to this day. Its effect is unknown. But I have asked for advice.
Masters of alchemy, they think this elixir has a similar effect to the refining elixir."
Zhang Jun had seen his vision into the elixir several times, but nothing happened, which showed that the elixir was very extraordinary. Could it be a magical elixir? He was surprised, but he was not sure, after all, he did not have this kind of vision.
Thoughts were swirling in his mind, and he looked as usual and said, "Oh, it turns out it's the Refining Pill, so I bought it. How much did it cost?"
The seller smiled "haha": "The first business I open is to give you a cheaper price, I'll give you one billion."
"One billion?" Yun Jingshen suddenly shouted, looking like an idiot, "Uncle, do you think this is a waste elixir of a high-grade elixir? Three hundred million, just forget it if you don't sell it!"
The seller almost choked to death at these words. He opened his eyes wide and said angrily: "Are you kidding me? You can't even buy dregs of medicine for 300 million yuan. Don't you know that prices have been rising?"
Zhang Jun coughed and said, "One billion is indeed a bit expensive."
This elixir was actually obtained by this seller from the cave of an ancient cultivator. He was familiar with the elixir path and thought it had little value, so he decided to sell it. So he thought about it and said: "Let's do this.
800 million, if you feel it is suitable, buy it, if not, forget it and look at other pills."
Zhang Jun nodded immediately: "Okay, I think senior is a real person, so I won't bargain."
Yun Jingshen, who was still ready to continue bargaining, rolled his eyes. Is anyone buying something like this?
The seller said happily: "Okay, little friend, if you want to buy elixirs in the future, you must come to me and I will give you a 20% discount."
When he came, Zhang Jun brought enough money with him. He quickly paid the money, took the elixir and Yun Jingshen and left.
After leaving this small room, Zhang Jun walked forward for more than 20 meters and entered the house on the right.
Yun Jingshen found it strange that Zhang Jun seemed to enter the room selectively. He had never been there before, so how could he know which room had what he needed? He buried his curiosity in his heart and followed Zhang Jun quietly to see what he wanted to buy.
.
There was a woman sitting in the room, she looked about seventeen or eighteen years old, and she was reading a book on alchemy. She looked quite pretty, but she was a little thin, like a firewood stick. When Zhang Jun came in, she didn't go to say hello, she just looked after herself.
Read books.
There are more than thirty jade boxes on the table in front of the woman. Each jade box contains several pills. It looks more formal than the previous one. Not only are the types of pills divided carefully, but the quantity is also large. At first glance,
It is a place that has been in business for many years.
Zhang Jun's eyes fell on a jade box in the middle. There was a sign next to the jade box with a line of words written on it: Waste elixir of unknown quality. Then there was a price tag, which was as high as 1.5 billion.
There are two pills inside, both of which are the size of dragon's eyes. Like the useless pills Zhang Jun encountered before, his eyesight cannot penetrate them.
"What are the uses of these two pills?" Zhang Jun asked.
"I don't have eyes. If you ask me about useless elixirs of unknown quality, who should I ask?" the woman rolled her eyes and said impatiently.
"Hey! What are you talking about?" Yun Jingshen suddenly became angry.
"Auntie is talking like this, don't you agree?" the woman stood up and stared at him.
Zhang Jun really didn't want to get into an argument with others over such a trivial matter, so he quickly said: "I bought these two pills."
Once she heard that Zhang Jun was willing to buy the elixir, the woman's anger subsided slightly.
After checking out and leaving, Yun Jingshen finally couldn't help but ask: "Brother, how did you buy such abandoned elixirs? I don't think they are worth three billion at all."
Zhang Jun smiled slightly and said: "Jingshen, I bought them for research, not for consumption."
Yun Jingshen still couldn't understand, and said: "Then your research funding is too high."
After visiting these two houses, Zhang Jun did not go to any other rooms, because these were the only two places on the whole street that had such useless elixirs that he could not see through.
Next they entered Fu Street.
The items sold on Fu Street are naturally talismans, and there are all kinds of talismans. There are calming talismans that can help with cultivation, righteousness talismans that can suppress ghosts and evil spirits, and flying thunder talismans that release thunder and lightning to kill enemies.
The price of the talisman is not as high as that of the elixir, but it is not very cheap, ranging from tens of millions to hundreds of millions. The reason why the price is so high is because the people who refine the talismans have extremely high cultivation levels.
With his eyesight scanning the entire Fu Street, Zhang Jun came to a room at the end of the street.
There was only one talisman placed in the room, and a middle-aged man sat there, looking at the door eagerly.
This is a crumpled yellow paper talisman. It is dark and dirty, and even the runes are blurry, as if it has been soaked in water.
The reason why Zhang Jun came here is very simple. His eyesight cannot see through this talisman. According to his experience, anything that his eyesight cannot see through must not be ordinary.
"How can I sell this talisman?" he asked directly.
The seller immediately said with a smile on his face: "One billion."
Zhang Jun asked: "What kind of talisman is this? It seems to be from a long time ago."
"My little brother has great eyesight. I am a descendant of the Maoshan sect, and this talisman was passed down from the older generation. If I hadn't been short of money, I wouldn't have sold it at all." The seller said quickly.
"You haven't said what kind of talisman it is yet." Yun Jingshen reminded him.
The other party smiled awkwardly: "To be honest, I am an abandoned disciple of Maoshan. I have limited knowledge and don't know much about the purpose of this talisman."
Zhang Jun took a look at the other person and found that he only had the level of cultivation, so he stopped asking further questions and said, "Fifty million, I'll buy it."
Yun Jingshenxin said that you finally know how to bargain!
Unexpectedly, the other party shook his head violently and said with a grimace: "I'm sorry, 500 million is really not enough. I am short of money, so I have to get 1 billion."
Zhang Jun said calmly: "Or if you have anything else with you, give me both together, and it will make up to one billion."
In fact, when he entered the door, he discovered that the seller also had a jade sign on his body, and the aura on it was unpredictable and profound, similar to the feeling that the talisman gave him.
When the seller heard this, he seemed to think of something and took off the jade plaque. He weighed it in his hand and said, "How about this? It is also something passed down by the elders of Maoshan. Buy one and get one free."
Zhang Jun now believed that this man was definitely an abandoned disciple of Maoshan, and he would sell whatever was handed down from his ancestors casually. He did not bargain anymore and nodded: "Okay, two items, one billion."
Next, the two of them went shopping in other streets, but Zhang Jun didn't buy anything else, and it didn't take long for them to reach the third floor.
To enter the third level, you need to spend 100 million to purchase qualifications, and those who are not qualified are not allowed to enter. This prevents those who do not have the ability to bid to enter the auction site, thus ensuring the silence of the auction.
Zhang Jun bought two qualifications at the door and took Yun Jingshen in with him.
The third floor is a different scene. About eighty or ninety people are waiting here quietly. On the stage is a huge auction table. There are hundreds of seats in the auditorium below, and young and strong servants bring tea and snacks.
The admission fee of 100 million is not in vain. The tea is good tea, and only the court officials can drink it at the state banquet. The snacks are also good snacks, which are steamed with elixirs and are good for spiritual practice.
The two brothers found a seat at the back and sat down, waiting for the auction to begin. On a table not far away, two old men were sitting, drinking tea and chatting leisurely.
"Brother Tu, I heard that there are two good things in today's auction." One person said.
"Brother Fang is so well-informed, no wonder he came here so early in the morning." The man named Brother Tu said with a smile, "But don't put your hopes too high, we might not have any chance."
"Oh? How do you say this?"
"Brother, those two things, one is a vacuum stone the size of a fingernail, and the other is Zhang Sanfeng's painting "Empty Mountain" in his later years. The vacuum stone has infinite uses and can be used to suppress spiritual fields. All the aristocratic families will definitely take action. The "Empty Mountain" contains Zhang Sanfeng's painting
The cultivation of spiritual thoughts is of great help to those who want to break through to half-step magical powers. It is also extremely valuable and will attract some big shots."
Brother Tu was stunned and said: "It's actually a vacuum stone, but I can't use this thing. But the empty mountain map is good, maybe it can help me break through. Alas, I have been stagnant in the realm of Jue for thirty years. If I don't break through,
I'm afraid my life is coming to an end."
"Yes!" Brother Fang also lamented, "Why am I not like that? We are all people with third-level elixirs. Although we can barely break through with the magic elixir and gather our true power, we can live up to one hundred, twenty or thirty years. Now.
They are all in their eighties, and their energy is exhausted. If they don’t make a breakthrough, there will be no hope.
Hearing them talk about the Vacuum Stone, Yun Jingshen said in surprise: "I didn't expect that such a thing would be put up for auction. I'm afraid the major aristocratic families would grab their heads."
Zhang Jun was not from a noble family, so naturally he had never heard of Vacuum Stone, so he asked: "What is Vacuum Stone?"
Yun Jingshen explained: "Actually, it is something that people in the supernatural realm use to place their spirits."
"Spirit of sustenance?" Zhang Jun didn't understand.
"I don't quite understand either." Yun Jingshen shrugged, "I heard from the elders that when a person in the supernatural realm opens up the spiritual realm for the first time, he must place his spirit on something. That thing may be a piece of wood, or it may be a piece of wood.
A stone depends entirely on the practitioner's preference."
"Those selected things, once they are entrusted with the spirit, will become very wonderful and are called vacuum stones. As for how it was formed and what its purpose is, I don't know much about it," he said.
Zhang Jun nodded and asked again: "Is the empty mountain picture really painted by Zhang Sanfeng?"
"This is true. It is said that Zhang Sanfeng's cultivation level was extremely high. One time, one of his disciples went crazy while practicing and became a murderer, committing endless crimes. So Zhang Laodao drew a picture of an empty mountain.
Let him watch it every day. Strangely enough, after that, the man's demonic illness was cured, and thirty years later he achieved half-step supernatural powers."
Zhang Jun was surprised: "A single painting can achieve half a step of supernatural power?"
"Yes, some people think that there should be Zhang Sanfeng's spiritual imprint on the empty mountain map, which can help people make breakthroughs."
Zhang Jun does know that calligraphy and painting can "express spirit". Through poetry, painting and articles, the author's spiritual realm can be conveyed. This is a very high artistic realm and is rare in the world.
The two talked for a while, and figures began to move on the auction stage. About ten minutes later, the auction officially started.
A young host in a suit stood on the stage and announced in a clear voice: "Dear guests, today's auction has officially begun."
The crowd immediately fell silent. Everyone sat up straight and stared at the stage. Everyone participating in the auction had a goal and did not dare to be careless.
