Chapter 276 The business experience of Sihai Pavilion
When Yi Xifeng shouted "two thousand taels", everyone present turned their attention to the fair-skinned young man in the corner. They were obviously curious about who was willing to spend such a high price to buy a spiritual fruit.
You must know that although this herb is rare, it does not have the heaven-defying effects as the woman on the stage said. In other words, it can have such effects, but it cannot be achieved by just one nourishing fruit.
Therefore, discussing the effects of many things without considering the dosage is just hooliganism!
In the current world, the most recognized geniuses and treasures are the holy medicines for healing, followed by the medicinal materials that gather the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to enhance cultivation. As for this herbal medicine that simply wakes up and refreshes the mind, its audience is actually not very large.
The woman's beautiful eyes flashed, and she was really surprised that a piece of nourishing fruit could be sold for such a price.
"Two thousand taels for the second time." The woman, who was a treasure appraiser, spoke again.
The old man and woman who had participated in the bidding before secretly shook their heads. Although they also needed the spiritual nourishing fruit, the price of two thousand taels had seriously exceeded their expectations.
It's not that the two owners are short of money, it's just that the things to be auctioned are not worth the price to them.
"Two thousand five hundred taels!"
The calm voice sounded again, and the young shopkeeper also frowned at this time. This nourishing fruit is also something that he must obtain. His signature sobering wine is brewed from this fruit.
of.
Of course, there are other medicinal materials added to it, but this nourishing fruit is the most rare and expensive.
But in the past, it wasn't that troublesome for him to come to the auction house to get this spiritual nourishing fruit. Basically, he could get it from one thousand taels to one thousand three hundred taels. But a troublesome competitor suddenly appeared out of nowhere.
At this time, shopkeeper Zhang was sitting in the middle of the venue. He could only see the clothes and hat of the man sitting on the edge. He looked familiar, but he just couldn't remember who it was.
However, the young shopkeeper's bottom line is also clear to him. He can only brew five jars of sobering wine from this fruit. Adding the cost of other herbs, his bottom line is 2,500 taels. No matter how high it is, he will have no choice but to give up.
Fortunately, the person who had just called out the price to him did not say anything again after that.
In the end, this nourishing fruit was bought by the young shopkeeper for a "sky-high price" of 2,500 taels.
Yi Xifeng, who was sitting in the corner, could only shake his head with a wry smile. Sure enough, poverty limited his imagination. He used to think that he had achieved financial freedom by selling alcohol. Now it seems that the Dharma of a wealthy couple is the four elements of spiritual practice. Sure enough,
It makes sense.
And what the older generation said about the poor in literature and the rich in military affairs can also be seen!
"It seems I have to think of other ways to get this spiritual nourishing fruit."
…
After this small climax of the auction, the auction in Sihai Pavilion was officially on track. Soon the scantily clad treasure appraiser brought another auction item.
It turned out to be an armor room.
Speaking of which, items such as armor and weapons are mostly auctioned by Xuanbing Pavilion, but this time they appeared in Sihai Pavilion, which also surprised everyone in the audience.
The woman on the stage smiled and said: "The treasure you have seen has been basically damaged. Even if an ordinary sword is struck on it, it can be easily destroyed. However, this is an armor from an ancient ruins! And from then on
On the inside of the armor, you can see an incomplete piece of Kung Fu."
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the audience was in an uproar.
"What comes from some ancient ruins?"
"Kung Fu in ancient monuments? This is a bit too fake!"
"Little lady, this is not how you do business. Are you sure it's a technique?"
…
For a time, many people in the audience raised doubts.
However, in the face of doubts, Sihaige's explanation was very simple.
"The auction is open, the base price is three thousand taels!" the woman said lightly.
Mingpai, yes, Mingpai. A simple sentence rejected most of the doubts. Sihai Pavilion is mainly engaged in the business of secret auctions, and Mingpai is the business of Sifangdian, but it is not the main business.
After all, the auction house has a good understanding of the purchasing power of these buyers. If the spiritual nourishing fruit from before was sold to the Sifang Palace, it would cost one thousand five hundred taels.
And this "historic armor" is the treasure that the organizer specially transferred from the Sifang Palace after the little climax just now.
Sure enough, businessmen are chasing profits, and they will not let go of even the slightest opportunity.
"Three thousand five hundred taels!" a waiter sitting on the second floor whispered.
It seems that a certain distinguished guest sitting on the second floor fell in love with this armor.
"Four thousand taels!"
Xianbi and Shen Yang Guo only had a price increase of one hundred taels at the beginning, but this ancient armor started with a starting price of five hundred taels.
Soon, both in the audience and upstairs, the number of people participating in the bidding gradually increased.
It seems that the Mingpai certification of Sihai Pavilion is regarded as a golden sign in the eyes of everyone.
"It's interesting. It turns out to be something from an ancient monument. Although the possibility of a rare skill appearing is extremely small, it's better than nothing." An old man sitting on the second floor said with a smile as he watched the fierce bidding below.
After a while, the waiter outside his room shouted: "Six thousand taels!"
At this time, the bidding of everyone in the audience had just exceeded the five thousand tael mark. The old man suddenly increased his bid by one thousand taels, showing that he was determined to win this thing!
Yi Xifeng was sitting in the corner at this time, looking at everyone bidding with some astonishment. On the one hand, he was paying for everyone's financial resources. Five or six thousand taels of silver, even an elite guard in iron armor would need a year to earn so much.
.
Although the fair boy owns Qingxin Liquor House and is not very short of money, with the small number of drink consumers in Yinren Village, earning 10,000 taels a year has basically reached a bottleneck.
Even if Yi Xifeng came well-prepared before coming to Luoye City, after touching his arms, he basically found all his belongings, which was only a little over 10,000 taels.
After all, if you change it to a banknote, even if it's 500 taels each, it's only about twenty pieces.
Yi Xifeng took out a five-hundred-zero silver note and looked at it. It was a piece of cardboard the size of a playing card, with complex purple patterns printed on it. It looked better and better now.
However, another reason why the fair young man was stunned was that the auction item contained the word "historic site".
In fact, he is no stranger to ancient monuments. When he first learned Nei Jin Kung Fu from Li Chengqian, he knew that the Nei Jin Kung Fu he practiced, the Jiu Qi Control Technique, came from the ancient relics.
For thousands of years, strong men at the pinnacle of martial arts have been exploring the ultimate path to martial arts. The most famous among them, or the one known to future generations, is Baili Pingtian, the supreme master from five hundred years ago.
This man was a man of martial arts who dominated the martial arts world at that time. In his youth, he visited ancient monuments all over the world to explore the secrets of ancient martial arts! Until later, he suddenly disappeared, as if he had disappeared from the world. 51
Many powerful people are curious about his final destination. After all, reaching his realm has far surpassed the current Congsheng realm. His life span has been greatly extended.
Therefore, no one believed that Baili Pingtian eventually died of old age and illness.
We must know that among the eight powerful sects today, there are figures from the same period as Baili Pingtian. Although five hundred years have passed, the supreme elders of the eight sects have long closed the barrier of life and death, but for Congsheng
The lifespan of a strong man in the Holy Realm has always been a mystery in the martial arts world.
"I didn't expect that the skills I got from this ancient monument would be so valuable! I think Captain Cheng Qian taught it to me after just a few sips of wine!" Yi Xifeng sighed in admiration.
In fact, there is some gap between the fair boy's guess and the facts.
Even the treasure appraisers said that the armor's value in this auction is basically zero. What really makes people excited is the content of the exercises engraved on the inside of the armor. Although it is a fragment, it is also a historical exercise.
Just because of the need for the auction, the woman did not make it clear that the fragments of this exercise were martial arts exercises, not internal strength exercises.
You must know that in today's world, every family or sect that has inherited its own martial arts skills is relatively open-minded to the outside world.
Even every few years, each major sect organizes its best players to compete with each other and learn from each other. As the saying goes, learn from each other's strengths and offset weaknesses.
But when it comes to Nei Jin Kung Fu, the attitude of all sects or big families is surprisingly the same. It will never be spread to outsiders!
As for the sect itself, only true disciples can learn the sect's secret technique, which is the top internal strength technique in the sect.
From this we can see the difference in treatment between martial arts exercises and internal strength exercises.
Although they are both called exercises, their status is completely different.
But everyone present, except for Yi Xifeng, a kid from the "village" who didn't take it seriously, everyone else understood that the skills on the ancient armor auctioned this time must be martial arts skills.
If it were an internal strength technique, I'm afraid the base price wouldn't be just three thousand taels.
…
In the end, the armor from the ancient ruins was bought by the old man on the second floor for a price of 7,800 taels.
After two rounds of auctions, the emotions of everyone at the scene have been fully aroused.
Striking while the iron was hot, Sihai Pavilion successively launched several auction items, including Millennium Salvia, a Luoluo Pill from Danwang Valley, and a martial arts secret book from Qingzhu County.
Among them, the thousand-year-old salvia miltiorrhiza was bought by the old man who had previously bid for the god-nourishing fruit. This time, Yi Xifeng snatched it from him.
And that Luo Luo Dan is the holy healing medicine from the Danwang Valley of Dongdan Villa. This treasure is a life-saving thing. Yi Xifeng was excited when he heard the introduction. After all, he had seen Helian Tiexin take this thing, and its curative effect
It’s almost the same as what this treasure appraiser said.
It's a pity that he was finally photographed by a girl for 10,000 taels of silver! Seeing this, the fair boy realized why Helian Tiexin looked so gloomy after eating Luo Luo Dan!
This is not taking medicine to extend your life. This is clearly taking money to extend your life!
As for the last set of martial arts secrets from Qingchuan County, only more than 800 taels were auctioned, which is completely different from the ancient ruins of the martial arts secrets.
However, the final winner of this set of secrets was Yi Xifeng's other target in the auction this time, Ji Rentu's housekeeper.
…
Finally, after several rounds of auctions, everyone's enthusiasm gradually stabilized. Seeing that the time was approaching noon, the treasure appraiser ordered the last auction item to be served.
"This object was taken by a businessman from Yunxiao Imperial Capital. It is made of sapphire and is extremely strong. It is an indispensable item for all the heroes and righteous men who travel the world."
As she spoke, the woman opened the tray held by the maid next to her, and there was a sapphire gourd inside.
"The name of this object is the Sapphire Drunken Immortal Gourd. It is made from the finest sapphire. Its texture is comparable to gold and iron. It is also good at storing fine wine and will not deteriorate for ten years!"
Finally, the woman smiled charmingly and said calmly: "The auction is open, the base price is one thousand taels!"
Compared to a secret auction, which requires everyone present to bid down the price, the reserve price for an open auction is given by the auction house, so the process is much simpler.
After all, this kind of simple jewelry, or something that has little impact on the warrior's strength due to its superior material, the auction house will not waste time in conducting secret auctions.
In fact, letting everyone lower the final price will not affect the final auction price. The real intention is to let everyone participate. Only in this way can the maximum value of the auction items be maximized.
"One thousand one hundred taels." A voice suddenly said.
Yi Xifeng frowned slightly, but they looked sideways, because he had already heard who the other party was. It was the shopkeeper of the Jianghu Tavern.
As expected, they are all people who love wine. In fact, after Yi Xifeng saw this wine gourd, his heart also moved.
After all, your kung fu is greatly affected by alcohol, so it makes sense to find a stronger wine gourd.
"One thousand, two hundred taels." The fair-skinned young man increased the price.
There were many people present who loved wine, but most of them, who were practicing martial arts, could not afford to spend more than a thousand taels on a wine gourd.
After all, if you are pursuing sturdiness, you can use gold essence to make an iron gourd, which will definitely be harder.
The young shopkeeper frowned and looked at the person sitting in the corner. He found it very interesting for no reason, "Whatever I want, this guy will come over and get involved. Is he also a brewer?"
It has to be said that shopkeeper Zhang still has some brains, but it is a pity that he is bound to win this wine gourd.
"One thousand five hundred taels!"
Soon everyone discovered that the bidding mode at the beginning had started again. These two people were still fighting to the death for something that everyone thought had no special value.
"One thousand nine hundred taels!"
Yi Xifeng was not to be outdone, and the price soon approached the two thousand tael mark.
The scantily clad woman standing on the stage looked at the two people in front of her and smiled broadly. She even couldn't close her legs, um, couldn't close her mouth...
Sure enough, it was right to transfer this jade gourd from the Sifang Palace in the end. Those two people only took action once, which was on the Nourishing Fruit. After analysis, the treasure appraiser doctor of Sihai Pavilion felt that the reason why these two people were willing to pay a high price to adopt it
Eighty percent of the magic fruit is used to make wine. Considering that this is not the first time for the young shopkeeper to come, it is not difficult to guess its purpose.
So with the support of a group of treasure appraisers behind the scenes of Sihai Pavilion, this sapphire gourd was brought here from the backstage of Sifang Palace!
"Two thousand five hundred taels!"
Yi Xifeng said calmly.
The young shopkeeper sitting not far from him couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. Isn't this price the same as the previous price of the Nourishing Fruit?
The young man took a deep look at each other, but the fair boy was wearing a hat, making it difficult to see his face.
In the end, the green jade Drunken Immortal Gourd was sold to Yi Xifeng for a price of two thousand five hundred taels.
