Three days later, at a five-star hotel in Songtao City, the auction held by the Chenxi Chamber of Commerce was about to begin.
This is the first time that the Chenxi Chamber of Commerce has come to Songtao City to hold an auction. The auction is based on an invitation system. Only those with invitation cards can participate.
Xu Feng sat in the first row and looked around. Almost all of them were third-level peak apostles. There were even a few fourth-level apostles. They were surrounded by many people like stars surrounding the moon. They seemed to be able to say a word to him.
Words are like supreme honor.
"Intermediate-level apostle is already the top-level existence in a third-level city. If I had not been kidnapped by the knife sharpener, even if I finally obtained the title of Holy Son, I would probably only be at the fourth or fifth level now...
"Xu Feng thought to himself.
Soon, the auction site was filled with people. After a while, a steward from the Chenxi Chamber of Commerce stepped forward and announced that the auction had begun.
The first high-grade piece, the core of the third-level secret realm, the starting price is a low-grade spiritual stone!
Seeing this scene, Xu Feng couldn't help laughing.
Chenxi Chamber of Commerce has learned some auction routines in the real world, attracting everyone's attention with an extremely low starting price, and then pushing the price of the goods to an extremely high position amid the crowd's competition.
Don't think about missing out on such a product, because there will definitely be people from the Chamber of Commerce present. If no one auctions it, it will naturally fail. If someone takes action, there will be people from the Chamber of Commerce who will keep bidding until the price of the product is pushed up.
to a reasonable price!
"A spiritual stone!"
"Five spiritual stones!"
…
The price of the first item increased very slowly. It was not that the people present did not know the value of the core of the secret realm, it was just because they did not have enough spirit stones on hand!
"The price of the third-level core secret realm is between 300 and 500 depending on the quality. If there are no special products, then it is only worth 300 low-grade spiritual stones at most. If there are some special products that can be integrated into the portable secret realm, the price will soar.
..." Xu Feng thought to himself: "The core of the third-level secret realm in front of me is probably a blank slate secret realm with no special products, and it can only have three hundred low-grade spiritual stones at most!"
The so-called secret realm specialties refer to secret realm assets that can continuously produce resources, such as the Yin Locust Tree Spirit, Ten Acres of Taiyi Xuan Yin Earth, Purple Jade Grapes, the Forest of Wild Beasts, and the Withered Bone Temple.
If Xu Feng's Portable Secret Realm Core is sold, with so many resources, it will definitely not be purchased with three to five hundred spirit stones. The resources inside alone will be worth a lot of money.
"Eighteen spirit stones!"
"Twenty spirit stones!"
…
Ten minutes later, the price of this third-level secret realm core only reached thirty low-grade spiritual stones, which was far from the value of the secret realm core itself. Through observation, Xu Feng also discovered a middle-aged man.
The person who stopped bidding and kept pushing the price up must be someone from the Chamber of Commerce.
"One hundred low-grade spiritual stones!" Xu Feng raised the card and said loudly.
Hearing the news of a hundred low-grade spiritual stones, the auctioneer suddenly became excited, with a look of excitement on his face. Every time he bid for one or two low-grade spiritual stones, even the most professional auctioneer would feel bored.
Now Xu Feng directly raised the price to one hundred low-grade spiritual stones, which immediately made the auctioneer excited.
"This is what an auction should be like!"
"One hundred low-grade spiritual stones and one third-level secret realm core. The price has now reached one hundred low-grade spiritual stones. Is there anyone who bids higher?" the auctioneer shouted, looking around the entire venue.
Xu Feng held his chin in his hand and looked towards the middle-aged man in the venue;
One hundred low-grade spirit stones, according to the normal price, is equivalent to a 30% discount. I wonder if the Chenxi Chamber of Commerce can accept this price!
Sure enough, the middle-aged man frowned slightly and looked at the steward standing aside. The steward gestured towards him, and the middle-aged man raised his card.
"One hundred and five low-grade spiritual stones!"
After the middle-aged man quoted the price, he subconsciously looked towards Xu Feng. When he saw Xu Feng looking at him, a look of astonishment suddenly appeared on his face. Seeing the half-smiling expression on Xu Feng's face, the middle-aged man then revealed
With an awkward smile, he nodded towards Xu Feng.
"Sure enough, the 30% off price is still a bit low, then... 50% off?" Xu Feng thought to himself.
"One hundred and fifty low-grade spiritual stones!" Xu Feng raised the sign again. This time, Xu Feng looked directly at the supervisor without even looking at the auctioneer in front of him.
The steward seemed to notice Xu Feng's gaze and looked towards him. After a moment, the steward smiled and made several gestures towards Xu Feng.
This is the gesture of the Chenxi Chamber of Commerce towards some of its major internal customers, and it is also a test by the steward to Xu Feng. If Xu Feng can respond to him, then the secret realm core can be sold to him at a 50% discount.
Xu Feng smiled. The steward's gesture meant that the secret realm core could be sold to him at a 50% discount, but the subsequent products would have to be sold at a minimum of 20% off.
Of course, if Xu Feng couldn't understand his gesture and didn't respond to him, then the bidding would continue, and the final transaction price might only be 10% off or 95% off the normal price. This is what he meant to ordinary customers.
of a normal discount.
Xu Feng also made a gesture towards him, which meant "OK" or "no problem".
The manager smiled slightly and made a gesture to the middle-aged man sitting in the store to stop bidding.
Soon, the first product, a third-level secret realm core, was bought by Xu Feng for the price of 150 low-grade spiritual stones.
Soon, this third-level secret realm core was sent to Xu Feng. Xu Feng also paid one hundred and fifty low-grade spiritual stones. Seeing that Xu Feng actually took out the spiritual stones, other bidders looked at Xu Feng.
, some even directly showed their malicious looks.
"Wait a moment!"
At this moment, a fourth-level apostle suddenly stood up and said loudly: "Manager An, as far as I know, within the Chenxi Chamber of Commerce, gold can be exchanged for spiritual stones!"
"Yes, how can we collect so many spiritual stones in such a short time?"
"Your Chenxi Chamber of Commerce also wants to make money. If you only accept spiritual stones, you will make a lot less money. Why not let go of the restrictions and let us use gold to shoot!"
…
Most of the people present started making noises, and the auction was interrupted. The auctioneer looked towards Manager An.
Manager An had no choice but to step forward and start to comfort him.
"Gold can only be compared with some low-level alchemy materials at best, but spirit stones can be used to assist cultivation, or as the core of formations, and their application is much better than gold. If it were for me, I would also be willing to accept it.
Spiritual stone, not gold!" Xu Feng sneered in his heart.
The exchange price for gold and spirit stones in the previous life was one thousand taels of gold for one low-grade spirit stone. This is only the official price. The price on the black market is even higher, which can reach one thousand five hundred taels or even two thousand taels of gold for one.
Spiritual stone.
Manager An was not willing to open the gold auction at first, but many people began to clamor to leave, and the auction was about to be unable to continue. Manager An had no choice but to compromise, but the exchange price was two thousand taels of gold, which could be exchanged for a low-grade spirit.
stone.
It can be seen from this exchange that Chenxi Chamber of Commerce is not willing to collect gold, but there is no way. If it does not collect it, this auction will probably end in failure. If word spreads, not only will the reputation of Chenxi Chamber of Commerce be damaged, but also the reputation of Chenxi Chamber of Commerce will be damaged.
It will make people in the chamber of commerce feel that An is incompetent.
After hearing this exchange price, many people were still very dissatisfied and felt that the price was too high, but this was the final bottom line of the Chenxi Chamber of Commerce and there was no way to make any concessions.
The auction continued, and with the ability to use gold to pay, more and more people participated, and the auction became very lively.
Many products were sold at a good price, but Manager An's face became increasingly difficult to look at, because only the first three-level secret realm core that Xu Feng auctioned used spiritual stones to pay the bill, and everyone else used them.
It's gold.
"The next auction item is red blood coral gold, a holy material, and the starting price is 500 low-grade spiritual stones!"
Xu Feng's eyes lit up. This holy material was one of the materials for forging the evolutionary holy body. It was a material that Xu Feng had to obtain.
"Five hundred spirit stones!" Xu Feng raised his sign and said.
Manager An's eyes lit up when he saw Xu Feng holding up the sign, and his originally gloomy expression finally softened.
Five hundred spiritual stones, converted into gold, is equivalent to one million taels of gold. One tael of gold is fifty grams. One million taels of gold is equivalent to fifty thousand kilograms. Ordinary people cannot earn so much gold even in ten lifetimes.
!
According to one gram of gold, 300 Chinese dollars, and 500 low-grade spiritual stones, it is equivalent to 1.5 billion Chinese dollars. No matter where it is, this is a huge sum of money!
"One million one hundred thousand taels of gold!" A fourth-level apostle raised a sign and shouted loudly.
The auctioneer did not shout out immediately, but turned to look at Xu Feng.
Xu Feng glanced at the fourth-level apostle, smiled coldly, folded his hands on his chest, closed his eyes slightly, and looked unwilling to continue to increase the price.
This piece of red blood coral gold, with 500 low-grade spiritual stones, was almost broken off. It continued to be raised, and the price was still raised with spiritual stones and gold. Xu Feng was obviously at a disadvantage.
Manager An also looked towards Xu Feng. Seeing Xu Feng's confident look, a helpless smile appeared on his face and he gestured towards the auctioneer.
The auctioneer nodded and shouted loudly: "Red blood coral gold, five hundred spirit stones, once!"
"Red blood coral gold, five hundred spirit stones, twice!"
"Red blood coral gold, five hundred spirit stones, three times!"
"Congratulations to Guest No. 18 for receiving this red blood coral gold!"
…
"What's going on? Master Liu has already made an offer, hasn't he? Why don't you accept it?"
"We agreed to exchange two thousand taels of gold for one low-grade spiritual stone. We have already accepted this exchange price. How could it still be like this..."
…
Several secret realm apostles stood up and reprimanded loudly.
Manager An's face was cold, and he exuded a terrifying aura, which instantly enveloped the entire audience!
"High, high-level apostle!" Everyone's expressions changed drastically. One of the stewards of the Chenxi Chamber of Commerce turned out to be a high-level apostle, and his strength was simply unfathomable.
For a moment, the auction site was completely silent!
"Everyone, let me add one more rule. If someone uses spirit stones to bid, then others must also use spirit stones. Otherwise, Chenxi Chamber of Commerce will not accept other people's bids!" Manager An explained loudly.
After hearing Manager An's explanation, some people left the scene angrily, but most people stayed. However, everyone's eyes when they looked at Xu Feng suddenly became unkind.
The red blood coral gold was brought to Xu Feng, and Xu Feng took out five hundred low-grade spiritual stones without hesitation.
There is a spiritual stone mine in the portable secret realm, and three thousand spiritual stones have been accumulated. If it is not enough, more people can be dispatched to mine it.
The reason why he has accumulated three thousand spirit stones is that Xu Feng is unwilling to over-exploit and damage this spirit stone vein. Xu Feng also wants to upgrade this miniature spirit stone vein to a small, medium, or even large vein.
Woolen cloth.
Manager An stepped forward, whispered a few words to the auctioneer, and set the low prices for the remaining auction items at 20% off the normal market price. In this way, as long as Xu Feng opened his mouth, others would be unable to compete.
Under such circumstances, this item will 100% be bought by Xu Feng at a 20% discount. Of course, the premise must be to use spirit stones!
Two hours passed quickly, and all the first fifty items were successfully auctioned. However, except for the holy materials that Xu Feng was interested in, all other auction items were sold with gold as currency.
When the last holy-level material that Xu Feng wanted was bought by him, Xu Feng slowly stood up and turned around to leave the auction house!
This auction was a big surprise for Xu Feng. Although all three thousand low-grade spiritual stones were spent, except for the third-level secret realm core, Xu Feng purchased eight pieces of holy-level materials needed to evolve the holy body.
!
"With so many materials, it is almost enough to forge a hundred-fold Holy Body..." Xu Feng's face was full of joy. If it were a normal auction in his previous life, with so many holy materials, the final transaction price would probably be
To more than double the price, you know, how can any product purchased at an auction be sold at a premium?
Seeing Xu Feng preparing to leave, Manager An quickly stepped forward, handed over a VIP card from the Chenxi Chamber of Commerce, and whispered: "I didn't expect that in a third-level city like Songtao City, I could meet a high-level apostle!
"
"This is the VIP card of the Chenxi Chamber of Commerce. Please accept it. With this VIP card, you can get a 20% discount on goods purchased in any shopping mall of the Chenxi Chamber of Commerce!"
Xu Feng looked at the familiar card and couldn't help but smile.
In his previous life, he also had an identical VIP card, but he spent a thousand spiritual stones to buy the VIP card at that time, but now this one was given to him for free.
"Thank you, Manager An!" Xu Feng took it with a smile.
After some pleasantries, Xu Feng left the auction. Just after he left, the fourth-level apostles immediately stood up, looked at each other, and walked out together in tacit understanding.
Manager An looked at the backs of these people, a sarcastic sneer appeared on his lips, as if he had foreseen the fate of these people.
The auction will continue, but the following products will not be auctioned one by one. Everyone will directly write a price. After that, the Chenxi Chamber of Commerce will choose the highest one and sell the goods to him. However, all this has nothing to do with Xu Feng.
What does it matter?
Walking on the street, Xu Feng had a look of surprise on his face.
"Do you really dare to follow me? When did Songtao City become so unsafe?" Xu Feng sneered in his heart, hailed a taxi and drove towards the outskirts of the city.
