Volume Two, Huo Zha Xuan Jing, Chapter 194, Auction
Liu Ming sat in a corner of the hall, looking at the dense crowd of practitioners in the hall with a cold eye. His face was expressionless, but there was a gray cloak on his head, which covered most of his face.
The reason why he appeared here was partly because of a few auction items, and partly because he was asked by Boss Qian to stay here to prevent any accidents from happening.
Of course, there will be things that cause trouble, but it's almost impossible.
This is because the entire auction hall has long been covered with dense legal systems by the Bailingju Array Master. Even if the spiritual master appears and is trapped, he may not be able to break through the many restrictions here for a while.
What's more, for this auction, Boss Qian not only transferred a group of guests from various places, but also borrowed more than ten spiritual disciples from the Three Princes' Mansion, plus four teams of shadow guards.
Many of them were mixed in with the crowd like Liu Ming. But most of them still stood coldly around the hall to deter some people with evil intentions.
As time passed by, when a slender sandalwood plant burned out in an incense burner on a high platform in front of the main hall, someone immediately gave an order, and several exit doors were slowly closed.
At this time, Mian Lao, with a smile on his face, led Bai Qinghai and four other guests, walked out of a side door behind the stone platform, and calmly climbed onto the high platform in front.
The old man just flicked his sleeve, and immediately after a flash of white light, the incense burner disappeared, and at the same time, a wooden table several feet long appeared out of thin air on the stone platform.
Seeing this scene, some practitioners let out a surprised sound of "Huh", but most of them still had indifferent expressions.
Although generally speaking, things like storage talismans must be manipulated by people above the realm of spiritual masters, but there are always some special Sumeru objects that can avoid mana cultivation, just like what Liu Ming used before
Things like mutated storage talismans or Xumipa have great limitations.
The four of them, Bai Qinghai, stood expressionlessly at the four corners of the stone platform. Anyone who wanted to rush up to cause trouble must pass through the four of them first.
A normal auction would naturally require someone to host it, but in an auction where all practitioners are present, the person hosting the auction needs to have a certain level of strength, so Dongzhu Qian chose him.
Mr. Mian came to preside over it.
Originally, the owner of Bailingju considered letting Liu Ming take charge of this matter, and his reputation was now at its peak in Xuanjing, but Liu Ming naturally rejected it without any hesitation.
"Who am I? I believe that many fellow Taoists present should know a thing or two. Even if you don't know them, it doesn't matter. Just call me some Lao Mian. This time, I will be in charge of hosting the auction meeting held in Bailingju.
Okay. Although this is the first time for us to hold this auction in Bailingju, I believe that everyone will leave with satisfaction. Well, I think you are all impatient to wait, so Mian now announces the start of the auction."
After Mian Lao chatted for a few words, he coughed lightly and announced that the auction had begun.
Although his voice was not loud, everyone in the hall could still hear it clearly due to the magic power contained in it.
At the same time, the side door of the stone platform at the rear opened again. Three graceful and beautiful women each held a silver tray covered with red satin. They walked up to the high platform and placed them one by one respectfully.
On the long table.
Mian Lao then calmly stepped forward and opened the silk satin on the front silver plate, revealing a thick stack of light yellow flags.
"The first auction item is this set of flags of the Four-Elephant Vajra Formation. Haha, I believe some fellow Taoists have heard about it. Several of my guests were once beaten by some young people on their way to escort the auction items to Beijing.
A secret attack, and as a result, these guests relied on this set of formation flags to withstand several times the enemy's attacks and persisted until reinforcements arrived, thus being safe and sound. Therefore, this set of formation flags is of great significance, and Laofte regarded it as
The first item of the auction meeting is put up for auction." At this point, Mian Lao paused and glanced at everyone in the hall consciously.
As soon as these words were said, it really aroused some people's whispers, and many people showed interested expressions.
After all, this set of formation flags has been tested in actual combat. Although it requires multiple people to control it, many forces are still very interested in it.
Seeing this, Mr. Mian showed a satisfied look. He believed that this thing should be able to fetch a good price, so he spoke again:
"A set of four-elephant Vajra formation flags. The base price is 10,000 spiritual stones. Each bid must not be less than 1,000 spiritual stones. Start bidding now!"
"Ten Thousand Spiritual Stones"
"Twelve thousand"
"Fifteen thousand"
As soon as the old man finished speaking, many people immediately shouted out the price.
In the blink of an eye, the price of this set of formation flags approached 20,000 spirit stones.
As a result, the number of bidders immediately decreased greatly, and only four or five people continued to fight for it.
"Twenty-five thousand spiritual stones" a somewhat hoarse voice finally pushed the price to a new level.
Several others who were still fighting for it immediately fell silent.
The Four-Elephant Diamond Array can only be used for protection without any offensive power. It requires several people to operate it. The price is already extremely high.
Although they felt a pity, the auction had just begun, so they had no choice but to give up.
"Is there anyone else bidding? Is there really no one left? Okay, one...two...three, this set of flags of the four-elephant Vajra Formation belongs to this fellow Taoist. Fellow Taoist
You can go to the backstage to deliver the items now." A green, crystal-clear small hammer appeared in Mian Lao's hand at some point, and after knocking it down on the table, he announced the ownership of the set of formation flags.
In the main hall, where the last price call was, a big man with a white mask stood out. Under the leadership of a nearby waiter, he left the main hall through another side door nearby.
"The second auction item is the three giant wolf puppet beasts left outside by the Jiuqiao Sect. If they can be manipulated skillfully by Taoist friends who are proficient in puppetry, each one can have a powerful strength no less than that of a mid-term spiritual disciple."
After Mian Lao opened the second silver plate, he immediately pointed at the three blue balls on the plate and said with a smile.
Then he clapped his hands and walked up from behind the stone platform to a strange man who had been waiting there.
As soon as this man came on stage, he grabbed one of the blue balls without saying a word, threw it on the ground, and then made a gesture with one hand to push it into the air.
There was a "crack" sound!
The green ball suddenly transformed into a giant blue wolf about ten feet tall, with blood-red eyes flashing, and it was extremely lifelike.
Then, under the control of the strange man, the giant wolf showed agility far beyond ordinary people's imagination. No matter how it flew or bit, it was extremely ferocious. Finally, it even opened its mouth again and sprayed out several blasts from high in the sky.
The Green Wind Blade is coming.
Many casual cultivators in the main hall who were originally indifferent to this, couldn't help but feel a little moved when they saw this situation.
However, in the eyes of Liu Ming, who had seen real disciples of the Jiu Qiao Sect manipulate puppets, he felt that men's puppetry skills were just average and could not be compared with the core disciples of the Jiu Qiao Sect.
After the performance, the strange man attacked the giant wolf a little more, turned it into a ball again, put it back on the silver plate, and then silently retreated from the high platform.
"The three giant wolf puppets are auctioned separately, each with three thousand spirit stones, and each increase in price must not be less than two hundred spirit stones.!" While the shock on the faces of many people in the hall did not fade, Mian Lao grabbed
The timing is right and the auction of the three puppet wolves begins.
"Three Thousand Spiritual Stones"
"Three thousand two hundred"
"Three thousand four hundred"
The competition for these three puppet beasts, stimulated by the performance just now, also became very popular, and they were auctioned at different prices of 3,600 spirit stones, 3,800 spirit stones, and 4,200 spirit stones.
Mian Lao Stinger was naturally quite satisfied with the price, so he unhurriedly removed the satin on the third tray, revealing more than twenty gray-black tokens with seemingly strange designs.
"Twenty Spirit Opening Tokens will be released by an organization that organized this Spirit Opening Ceremony. Fellow Taoists, if you have any descendants who want to become cultivators like us, but cannot enter the five major sects, this is the best
The choice was made. However, I would like to explain in advance that this is our first contact with this loose cultivator organization Bailingju. We are only responsible for helping them auction these tokens and informing them of the time and place of the spiritual opening ceremony. We are not responsible for other things. Every
The bidding starts with a token and five hundred spiritual stones, and each price must not be less than one hundred spiritual stones. The bidding begins!" This time, Mian Lao only gave a brief introduction and directly announced the start of the bidding.
But it was obvious that everyone in the hall was very familiar with the Spirit Opening Token, and most of them looked surprised when they saw it. After the auction started, the prices skyrocketed, and most of them were around a thousand spirit stones.
It's going to be auctioned soon.
When Liu Ming saw this, he felt equally strange.
The so-called spirit-opening token is just like the token he carried when he participated in the Barbarian Ghost Sect's spirit-opening ceremony. They both represent a quota for participating in the spirit-opening ceremony.
However, these tokens at the auction were not issued by major sects, but by some casual cultivators who raised their own resources and held spiritual opening ceremonies quietly.
Due to the lack of resources and the inexperience of the person presiding over this kind of spiritual opening ceremony, both the number of people who can participate and the probability of success are naturally far inferior to those of several major sect ceremonies. However, it is still a great opportunity for many practitioners who ask themselves to have spiritual veins.
Qi masters provide the possibility of becoming a spiritual disciple, so although they are expensive, they are still sought after by countless qi masters. It is unknown how many casual cultivators have emerged.
At least now, most of the people in the hall can become spiritual disciples through this method.
After the twenty soul-opening tokens were successfully snapped up, Mian Lao smiled a little more on his face, clapped his hands again, and three more maids came up from the stage.
But this time, the silver plates held in the hands of the three women were no longer covered by anything, and they were filled with three identical light red vials.
"The items being auctioned below are what I believe many fellow Taoists dream of. They are three copies of the true evil spirit coming from the same evil pit!" Mr. Mian said with a hint of passion in his eyes after scanning the three vials.

Haha, Chapter 3 is finally finished, we are very tired, good night everyone!)
