The auction finally started, seemingly slightly earlier than the agreed time. I wonder if it was because the atmosphere was too tense, so it started early.
Long Chen knew the middle-aged man who was hosting the auction. He was the one who appraised the elixir for Long Chen. At this time, he was wearing formal clothes and standing on the stage.
"You are all gifted, well-informed, and your time is precious, so let's get straight to the point.
The first auction item today is an ancient scripture, please take a look." As he spoke, two beautiful maids brought up a tortoise shell the size of a pot lid.
On the tortoise shell, there are densely written words engraved on it. Through the projection on the wall, it can be seen that this is ancient immortal text, and many people present can translate it, except Long Chen.
"On this tortoise shell, after research and identification, it is a translated version of an immortal scripture, which was translated from ancient immortal texts.
It is a pity that part of this tortoise shell is incomplete, and even if it is completed, this Immortal Sutra may only be a part of the Immortal Sutra.
Therefore, its research value is very high, but its practical value is low. If you are interested, you can use it for collection and research.
Of course, if someone is blessed enough to have collected the rest of the immortal scriptures, that is a different story.
The following is an auction of a incomplete Immortal Sutra, the year is unknown, the name of the sutra is unknown, the starting price is ten Nether Spirit Beads, and each time the price increases, it must not be less than five Nether Spirit Beads." The middle-aged man said.
Because it is not a profit-making auction, there are not too many tricks and tricks, and all the advantages and disadvantages are pointed out, which is good.
"Fifteen Nether Spirit Beads."
From the back of the auction hall, Nangong Zuiyue's voice as soft as water came, and he was the first to bid.
Nangong Zuiyue bid, and the middle-aged man breathed a sigh of relief. In fact, this auction was very difficult to host.
There are all well-informed and important people present. What treasures have you not seen before? It would be embarrassing if no one cared about the first auction item, and it would be instantly ignored.
"Twenty Nether Spirit Pearls, I'm sorry, Fairy Nangong, I also want to study this turtle shell." A man sitting in the corner glanced at Nangong Zuiyue and said.
"It doesn't matter. The auction will be a fair competition and the one with the highest price will get it. As long as the tortoise shell is within the price range that Zuiyue wants, Zuiyue will keep raising the price." Nangong Zuiyue said calmly.
"Twenty-five Nether Spirit Beads." After speaking, Nangong Zuiyue shouted out his price.
The man in the corner hesitated for a moment and shouted out the price of thirty Nether Spirit Beads.
Nangong Zuiyue immediately added five more Nether Spirit Beads. The man in the corner finally shook his head. Obviously, if the price was increased to forty, it was obviously beyond his price and he felt it was not worth it.
However, this person did not stand up and hypocritically say that a gentleman will not take away what others love, but chose to remain silent.
"Congratulations to Fairy Zuiyue for obtaining the treasure."
Soon, a maid brought the treasure over. Long Chen looked at the turtle shell and couldn't help but curled his lips and said:
"It's really not worth buying thirty-five Nether Spirit Pearls for such a turtle shell. If you stew it in soup, it won't even be cooked."
There are three defects in the corners of this tortoise shell. One place is the beginning of the sutra, and it is also the most important place. If a piece is missing in this place, it means that the tortoise shell is a waste and has no value.
Nangong Zuiyue smiled slightly and said: "You can't say that. Every scripture is a testimony of history and an annotation of ten thousand ways. I like to study ancient things.
The wisdom of the ancients is beyond our imagination. Although this scripture is incomplete, as long as I can understand a small part of the principles it tells, I will benefit a lot. Thirty-five Nether Spirit Pearls are still worth it.
"
"You like to study so much, it reminds me of a knowledgeable person. If you two meet, you will definitely become a confidant." Long Chen suddenly thought of Yue Xiaoqian.
Yue Xiaoqian's knowledge is simply frightening. It seems that there is nothing in this world that she doesn't know. However, there are some things that she refuses to explain in too much detail.
"Who is this person? I also hope that Mr. Long Chen can recommend him to me." Nangong Zuiyue had a hint of surprise in her eyes. It must be amazing for someone to be recommended by Long Chen like this.
"Well...it depends on fate. If there is a chance, I will introduce you to each other." Long Chen said.
Yue Xiaoqian has a special status and cannot see the light of day yet, but she is attacking the last heaven of the Xuanling Sutra, which is a mysterious sutra she obtained in the Yin and Yang world.
She said that once she can reach the highest level of cultivation, as long as she does not deliberately manifest it, no one can see her identity as a demon. At that time, she can walk around the world.
"I will give you twenty Nether Spirit Beads."
Just as Long Chen was talking to Nangong Zuiyue, a hoarse voice like scraping iron suddenly sounded in the hall, drawing Long Chen's attention.
It turned out that while the two were talking, the second treasure had appeared. It was a stone egg the size of a fist, and it was covered with cracks.
However, because I was just chatting, I didn't hear the introduction, so I didn't know what kind of treasure it was. The person who raised the price was none other than Shi Lingfeng. I think that thing must be useful to him.
"Thirty Nether Spirit Pearls." Someone called out the price.
As soon as the man finished bidding, Shi Lingfeng stood up immediately and stared at the man bidding. Obviously, someone was arguing with him, which made him very dissatisfied.
"Are you going to go against me?" Shi Lingfeng said coldly.
The man bidding the price gave Shi Lingfeng a cold look and said calmly: "First of all, I have no interest in going against others. You take yourself too seriously.
Second, this is not the Stone Clan, nor is it your era, so you'd better restrain your temper, otherwise, it won't be as simple as being beaten and hiding.
Third, you are not qualified to call me, not even your ancestor, Shi Changsheng, who is called the Stone Emperor, is qualified.
Among the Three Emperors, the Evil Emperor never calls himself emperor because he is a god, but his achievements are still listed among the Three Emperors.
As for your Stone Clan's Shi Changsheng, it was only because the Evil Emperor refused to proclaim himself emperor that he reluctantly proclaimed himself emperor.
The so-called Stone Emperor is just the emperor of your Stone Clan, and our Tianwu Continent has never recognized it. Shi Changsheng is not qualified to call me this throne. How can you, Shi Lingfeng, have the courage to call yourself this throne?"
The man's words echoed in the hall, and Long Chen finally remembered that among the three emperors, there was no Stone Emperor. Now that he heard the man talk about it, he suddenly realized.
The three emperors were the Peng Emperor, the Evil Emperor and the Blood Emperor, but the Evil Emperor refused to claim the title of emperor, and Long Chen had never heard of it.
"What does it mean that the evil emperor doesn't call himself emperor?" Long Chen couldn't help but ask.
Beitang Rushuang shook his head and said: "The Evil Emperor is a follower of the Evil God. If he proclaims himself emperor, he will be disrespectful to the gods, but no one knows where the specific disrespect lies."
"This person is Luo Canghui. It is said that this person is a generation of ghosts. He awakened to visions at the age of fourteen. At that time, his cultivation level had not yet broken through the innate. His cultivation path was completely different from others." Nangong Zuiyue looked at it.
Following the man's path, he recognized the man's identity and introduced him to Long Chen.
Luo Canghui's appearance is ordinary, his eyes are calm, but there is a trace of vicissitudes, and he looks a little strange.
Although Luo Canghui's words were spoken tepidly, they were equivalent to a slap in the face to Shi Lingfeng, and it was a very loud slap.
"Luo Canghui, do you dare to fight with me?" Shi Lingfeng's face was already ugly, but now it became even more ugly. He actually recognized Luo Canghui's identity and directly launched a challenge.
Luo Canghui glanced at Shi Lingfeng indifferently, shook his head and said, "I'm not interested."
Seeing that Shi Lingfeng started to stir up trouble again, the middle-aged man in charge of the auction felt embarrassed and said:
"Master Luo Canghui has offered thirty Nether Spirit Pearls. If there is no higher price, this treasure belongs to Master Luo Canghui."
"Fifty Nether Spirit Pearls." Shi Lingfeng snorted coldly and shouted out another price.
In the end, Luo Canghui smiled slightly and did not continue bidding with him. He didn't know whether he thought the thing was not worth it or didn't want to compete with it.
The next few treasures were not particularly outstanding, but when the last treasure came out, Long Chen couldn't sit still.
I saw the middle-aged man holding a transparent bottle. Inside the bottle, there was a drop of strange liquid swimming slowly, like a tadpole.
"Tianyi Lingshui is a strange thing that does not belong to this world, and is similar to meteorites from outside the sky.
It is a strange substance that wanders in the universe. It contains pure life energy. It is of great use in practice, enlightenment, and weapon refining.
I believe many people know this kind of treasure, even better than me, so I won’t waste everyone’s time.
One drop of Tianyi Spirit Water, the starting price is fifty Nether Spirit Pearls, the bidding starts now." The middle-aged man shouted, his voice couldn't help but become a little louder. After the last treasure was auctioned, the task was completed.
"Sixty Nether Spirit Pearls" Beitang Rushuang took action.
However, she was calling for Long Chen. Long Chen saw the figures of Zhao Wuji, Huang Feiyan, and Shi Lingfeng. If he took action, even if he was not a treasure, he would still be targeted.
"Sixty-five Nether Spirit Beads!"
"Seventy Nether Spirit Beads!"
"One hundred Nether Spirit Beads!"
Others continued to increase their prices, and Beitang Rushuang directly added a hundred Nether Spirit Pearls. This was a hint that she was determined to get Tianyi Lingshui and would fight to the end.
Sure enough, Beitang Rushuang's increase in price made other strong men frown slightly. Although Tianyi Lingshui was rare, there was only one drop. A hundred Nether Spirit Pearls were a bit too high.
Besides, Beitang Rushuang looks determined to win. No one is willing to compete with her if it is not necessary.
As a result, Beitang Rushuang bought Yi Ling Shuang for the price of one hundred Nether Spirit Pearls that day.
The auction ended and everyone left one after another, but Long Chen, Beitang Rushuang and Nangong Zuiyue waited for a while, and then they came out after everyone had dispersed.
"Long Chen, how do you want to thank me?"
Beitang Rushuangyu held a bottle in his hand, which contained Tianyi Spiritual Water, and looked at Long Chen with a smile, looking like he had a rare commodity.
