Compared with Nanyi County, which had already been attacked by Fang Zhenhai once, Taikang County was relatively peaceful and peaceful.
But this kind of peace and tranquility is only on the surface. It is one of the nine southern counties. How peaceful can it be?
At present, the imperial court's power in Taikang County can only be said to be lingering on, maintaining a semblance of peace.
The imperial court did not have any troops stationed in Taikang County, so there was only one Jingyesi governor who had reached the level of a grandmaster and was considered the strongest. However, in fact, it was not possible to even have a branch of Jingyesi in every state capital.
.
They can't control the rebels like Qinglong Village who haven't even raised their banner yet. If they occupy a small city, just occupy it. As long as Qinglong Village doesn't blatantly attack the city and seize territory, and directly rebel like Fang Zhenhai did.
This is still just the forces and troubles in the grassland. There are also some Jianghu forces and martial arts families in the local area. These are even more difficult to control. It should be said that they cannot be controlled at all.
Wantong Auction House is located in Shunzhou Prefecture, Taikang County, which is still a large prefecture in Taikang County.
Before entering Shunzhou Mansion, Xiao Quan said: "Sir, the auction only starts in the evening, and everyone will spend one hundred taels of silver to buy a disposable talisman mask to hide their appearance and aura.
You are a member of the imperial court, and you are even more sensitive to participating in such an underground auction than those from well-known families, so it is best to conceal your identity."
Gu Cheng nodded, and when night fell, Xiao Quan took Gu Cheng directly into an alley, twisting and turning into a dead end, and gently tapped the wall a few times rhythmically.
, the dead end actually slowly dropped, revealing a portal.
Two young and clever servants stood at the door, saying to Xiao Quan and Gu Cheng: "Welcome to the Wantong Auction House. Do you need a mask?"
Xiao Quan threw out two silver bills, and the boy also handed over two wooden whiteboard masks.
This thing is so rough that only its eyes can be exposed. There are a few simple and crude runes engraved on it. It will dissipate after a night at most. It is really a one-time use.
Of course, for the practitioners who can come here, one hundred taels of silver is really not money to them.
Gu Cheng put on his mask and walked out of the alley corridor. What appeared in front of Gu Cheng was a brightly lit mansion. On the plaque were the five characters "Wantong Auction House" and the iron paintings and silver hooks. It was very impressive.
There are also practitioners coming to participate in the auction one after another around. Almost all of them are wearing masks, but some are wearing brocade clothes, and some are dressed like beggars.
Xiao Quan led Gu Cheng to his seat. Immediately, a scantily clad maid with her breasts and long legs exposed served some fine wine or tea. The quality and service attitude were comparable to those in heaven and earth. Although Gu Cheng had never experienced anything in his previous life.
I don’t know what heaven and earth are like.
However, this Wantong Auction House was really beyond Gu Cheng's expectations.
Hearing what Xiao Quan said before, he thought that the Wantong Auction House must be in some dark and narrow corner, and everyone was sneaking around and starting transactions secretly, but he didn't expect that the other party would do it on such a large scale, and it looked like
Pretty decent.
At this time, a short and fat middle-aged man, wearing a rich uniform embroidered with money and ingots, walked up to the front desk, with a smiling expression on his face and said to the people below: "Everyone meets again, this time the auction
There are a lot of good things on there, so take a look.
The rules are still the same. You can use money, you can barter, but you have to follow the rules of Wantong Auction. We will do the valuation. The unit is one golden hole square. If you are willing, just do it. If you are not willing, just do it.
, we don’t force it, harmony brings wealth.
Of course, if you want to cause trouble, you should also consider whether you are strong enough and have enough gold holes."
While he was talking, Mr. Jin Wu was still weighing a gold coin that looked like a copper coin in his hand, which was already round and round.
Xiao Quan explained via voice transmission: "Bartering is a bit troublesome because some people think their things are worth the same amount, but in fact they are not that valuable in the eyes of others.
Therefore, in order to resolve this conflict, Jin Wuye set a rule. The items for auction will be based on Jin Kong square. After their appraisal, a price will be set. Then whoever wants to barter will naturally have an auction house.
Come out and set the price, and then you can start trading.
Of course, you don't have to agree with the price set by the auction house, but then you won't be able to participate in the auction.
However, there is one thing to say, Wantong Auction House is relatively fair, because it is also a black market transaction, so the prices set for some things are only slightly lower than the normal prices in the outside world.
It’s just that the prices for some of the weirder and more unconventional items will be lower.
Mr. Gu, are you going to use gold and silver to trade, or barter?"
Gu Cheng nodded and said: "Barter, but what I prepared is hard currency."
As the two people talked, the auction on the stage had already begun.
Just like what Xiao Quan said, Wantong Auction House is the largest auction house in the black market in Taikang County, and has even broken away from the scope of the black market. This move is indeed extraordinary.
Among them, the elixirs, techniques, etc. are all ordinary things, and there are more weird and weird things.
For example, there are shark bones found from the East China Sea, and a magic weapon with a weapon spirit. However, there are two weapon spirits attacking each other. It is not certain when they can be used. You have to wait until the two weapon spirits are tired.
Use it, otherwise it will backfire.
There were even living monsters and ghosts included in the transaction. A top-quality purple zombie comparable to a sixth-grade warrior was covered with talismans. It was openly auctioned and sold to a long-legged and beautiful woman wearing a short Miao skirt.
Bought it.
This made Gu Cheng a little curious, are there so many beauties in Miaojiang? It seems that as long as he has seen women from Miaojiang, their figures and looks are pretty good.
The entire auction scene was still a bit chaotic, with bidders, scramblers, and scolds. Fortunately, everyone was restrained and carried out the auction step by step according to the rules. Gu Cheng waited for an hour before he had to wait.
something you want.
Jin Wuye stepped forward, took out a brocade box and said: "This contains a skill, a very special skill. Everyone in the Shan Hai Sword Classic should have heard of it.
This technique is the ‘Dragon Yin’ in the Sword Classic of Mountains and Seas. It is an extremely high-end sword skill related to the dragon genus, and it belongs to the most advanced existence in the Sword Classic of Mountains and Seas.”
Upon hearing this, many people present showed interest, especially some sword-wielding warriors.
Although it is almost impossible to cultivate dragon-type sword skills to the peak, as the top sword skill in the Shanhai Sword Classic, its power is amazing enough even if it is not cultivated to the peak, especially for those who major in sword skills.
For pure swordsmanship.
But at this time, Jin Wuye continued: "But, this sword skill is somewhat damaged, there is only half of it, so the price will be lower."
The interest of everyone present has not diminished. It is possible to practice half-level training, but it is impossible to reach the peak anyway. There is not much difference between beginners and semi-beginners. The price is lower and more affordable.
Some people are even planning that if the price is right, Dragon's Song is worth filming.
At this time, Jin Wuye opened the brocade box and said with a wry smile: "This half is a bit special, it is the half cut horizontally."
Everyone took a closer look and saw that a book had been cut in half horizontally from the center, neatly, as if it had been done intentionally.
At this moment everyone started to curse.
"Jin Wuye, what do you mean by this? Are you kidding us?"
"If you can still practice without the lower half, but you've lost half of it, how do you want us to practice? Do you have to rely on your brain to make up the other half? If I could make up the Mountain and Sea Sword Sutra in my head, I'd probably become a sword god long ago!
"
Seeing that some people were excited, Jin Wuye said quickly: "Don't get excited, everyone, because this half of the Sword Classic of Mountains and Seas was asked by an old friend of mine to help auction it. The person who worked at Wantong Auction House when it was first established
Even if you want to sell something here, I would be too embarrassed to refuse.
So this time my price is also very low, just one gold hole is enough, you can increase the price as you like."
After hearing this, everyone present became somewhat interested. A golden hole cube was almost like giving it away for free. The Zi Zhan just sold for more than a thousand gold hole cubes.
Even if this thing cannot be practiced, it can still be regarded as a heritage item when placed at home. After all, it is the legendary top sword skill, Dragon-type Mountain and Sea Sword Scripture.
So the price increased all the way, and it couldn't be raised until it reached about 100. This was almost the limit.
Seeing this scene, Gu Cheng waved his hand and said, "Here, help me find out the price of this thing."
Gu Cheng took out a Yin Soul Crystal. It was the smallest one, only as big as a little finger.
An old man wearing a long gown immediately came over and took it carefully. He looked at it carefully and said in surprise: "What a pure Yin Soul Spirit Crystal. I haven't seen such a pure Yin Soul Spirit Crystal in more than ten years."
Although it is smaller, the quality is excellent.
Such pure Yin Soul Spirit Crystal is simply a waste of resources when used for cultivation. Weapon refining and formation formation are the best, and even have a premium.
Such a piece costs five hundred gold squares."
"One hundred and five."
Gu Cheng directly called out the price.
In the Wantong Auction House, if you have endless Golden Kong Square Flowers, you can exchange them and keep them for the next auction, or you can directly purchase batches of elixirs or materials for use.
Everyone present fell silent when they heard Gu Cheng's bid.
One hundred hardware holes has far exceeded their bottom line, and it is really not worth buying a useless piece of equipment for this.
Gu Cheng's thoughts were very simple. Now that he was wealthy, he could afford a handful of Yin Soul Spirit Crystals, not to mention just one.
Although only half of the Shan Hai Sword Sutra cannot be practiced, there is still a chance to find out the whereabouts of the other half. At least half of it is available, and it will be much easier to find the other half.
But at this moment, someone suddenly called out the price: "Two hundred."
