The two of them were neither relatives nor friends, and sending items for auction was a fair transaction. No one owed anything to anyone, so Li Rui refused without even thinking about it.
The four of them chatted casually while walking on the road, and Li Rui learned a lot about tonight's trade fair.
The name of the market is Nan Yuan Market, named after the area.
The market itself is prepared for many wealthy businessmen, ancient warriors, and practitioners. There are only about two dozen such markets in the country, and they are managed by designated personnel. The manager of this market is Ouyang Ye.
The trade fair is divided into two sessions.
The first half is an auction, and the second half is a barter transaction.
The items auctioned at the fair are all kinds of strange, but they must be reviewed by the treasure appraisal department of the market before they can be put on the shelves. The most common items are various luxury goods and antique calligraphy and paintings, followed by items belonging to ancient warriors.
"Brother Li, the trade fair is here." Arriving at the center of the market, what Li Rui saw was not a magnificent building, but several ancient carved wooden doors.
Women in Hanfu stand at the door. Whenever someone wants to enter, they will be responsible for checking admission qualifications or looking at invitations.
"The trade fair hasn't started yet. There are three areas on the lower level. You can browse around as you like. I'll fill in the information for you first." With the fat man leading the way, Li Rui entered without any hindrance.
There was a faint scent of wood in the air, and all he could see outside were a few walls. After entering the house, he saw a wooden staircase extending downward, and several rooms on this floor were offices.
According to the regulations, to entrust the auction items, you need to fill in the information. Li Rui is considered a black account and cannot fill in the information. He can only sell the dagger in the name of Xu Yao.
After Xu Yao and Ouyang Ye left temporarily, Li Rui walked down the stairs and wandered alone in the peripheral trading area.
"There aren't many things, but they are quite rare." Li Rui found that you rarely see any good things at market stalls, but it was different here.
There are elixirs for sale here, and the years marked on the listings are roughly between 80 and 200 years old. They are already considered treasures on earth.
There is not a single magic weapon in sight, but there are quite a few special products from the earth, such as cinnabar with spiritual energy, some rare animal bones, unprocessed jade minerals, and exquisite swords, guns, swords and sticks.
Because there were no minerals that caught his eye, Li Rui stayed in the medicinal materials area for a long time.
"The things on the counter are not very good!" After looking at them for a while, Li Rui said dissatisfiedly. Various medicinal materials from one to two hundred years ago can be combined and matched to make alchemy. The problem is that alchemy is his only shortcoming.
His purpose is that everyone makes similar elixirs, so instead of wasting time refining elixirs, it is better to grab them.
Although he can't make elixirs, he can prepare body-refining liquids, which also require spiritual herbs and precious medicines.
The waiter here is a middle-aged uncle. He felt unhappy when he heard Li Rui's complaints: "These are common tonics. If you need them, we also have better ones."
Li Rui's eyes lit up and he said: "Since there is something good, take it out and take a look! When can you sell it after hiding it?"
"What do you know?" The uncle rolled his eyes. Seeing Li Rui walking alone at such a young age, he felt that someone's child was ignorant and didn't want to pay attention to it.
"You're still despised!" Li Rui was speechless for a while. After thinking for a while, he pointed to the herbs on the counter and continued: "This mark is 120 years old, but I think it is only 8 years old. I don't know whether you don't understand or not.
Defrauding consumers.”
"This ginseng is labeled as 80 years old, but it is 12 years old. What are you kidding? Just because it is older but shorter, do you think it is a child?"
Seeing that Li Rui wanted to continue talking, the middle-aged uncle was almost frightened. He quickly climbed up on the counter and tried to cover Li Rui's mouth with his hand, but Li Rui dodged him.
"Expert?" The middle-aged man's face looked ugly, but he got down from the glass cabinet.
"Not really, but I still have this bit of discernment. The things you have here are half-true and half-false. Are they ordered from above, or are your employees tampering with them privately? I don't care, and I don't want to care. Take out your good stuff.
have a look."
Li Rui was not worried about offending these people. He knew in his heart that since an organization supervised the ancient warriors and practitioners in the entire country, they would definitely not shoot themselves in the foot by adulterating centuries-old tonics.
Some fake medicines must be made secretly by some people.
The middle-aged man did not know Li Rui's background and did not dare to threaten him. Seeing that Li Rui had no intention of reporting, he took out three sandalwood boxes from the bottom of the counter.
Looking at the faint scent of medicine in the air and looking at the slightly cold wooden box, Li Rui knew that something good was about to come out.
"Wow haha, I just arrived at the trade fair and I smelled this pure medicinal fragrance, good stuff!" Not far away, two thirty-year-old men walked side by side.
Li Rui turned around and looked at him secretly, his expression unchanged.
There are two more ancient warriors who have learned some breathing techniques from practitioners. One is in the middle stage of Anjin, and the other is at the peak of Anjin.
Gao Long and Gao Ping didn't even look at Li Rui. They went straight to the counter and looked at the three boxes they had just opened.
Three bloody ginsengs are wrapped in golden silk, exuding a faint fragrance, and there is a hint of translucency on the surface of the refreshing folds.
"The older the ginseng is, the darker the color, the fewer the ginseng whiskers, and the ring pattern on the ginseng looks like it was made from nature. It is at least 300 years old, and it was born in a place with fertile soil and a suitable climate." Gao Long picked up a ginseng.
Ginseng observed for a long time and came to a surprising conclusion.
Li Rui curled his lips and didn't take it seriously.
He pointed to one of them and looked at the middle-aged man: "I want this, how much does it cost?"
"You have such good taste. This is 360-year-old wild ginseng, priced at 8 million."
"How much?" As if he heard wrongly, Li Rui scratched his ears and asked again.
"8 million!" The middle-aged man thought Li Rui was a rich man. Seeing his reaction, he immediately realized that Li Rui didn't have much money and his attitude was not as respectful as before.
Li Rui looked at this ginseng and had a general understanding of the prices of various items in this world. What he didn't know was that a 325-year-old wild ginseng was once auctioned for a high price of 10 million.
Although the price of 8 million is a bit high, it won't be too different.
"We've packed these three ginseng roots." Gao Long tilted his head slightly, glanced at Li Rui expressionlessly, and said to the middle-aged man calmly.
"Okay, a total of 16 million, please swipe your card!" The middle-aged man smiled slightly, turned around and took out a POS machine.
"Wait, don't worry! I want this ginseng, can I pay it in US dollars?" How could something that Li Rui likes be robbed by someone?
He stopped the middle-aged man and took out the card he got from Bai Xiang.
"Of course, but..." Halfway through his words, the middle-aged man looked at Gao Long, feeling hard to make a decision.
Li Rui only bought one stick, and Gao Long wanted to buy three. For him, of course, he chose to sell Gao Long.
Gao Long frowned and said, "I want all three!"
His tone was condescending, and he did not take Li Rui seriously.
The middle-aged man smiled and nodded, looked at Li Rui and said, "Although you arrived first, the other party opened the deal first, so I'm sorry."
"It's true that he asked for the price first, but you didn't ask me if I wanted to buy it, right?"
Li Rui looked at the middle-aged man with sharp eyes, but there was no hint of grievance.
The middle-aged man felt a little guilty when he saw this look. Thinking that Li Rui knew his secret and was an expert in the same industry, he was afraid of offending him. "Well, if you buy all three, it will be fine."
"Why did I buy those two pieces of garbage?" Based on Li Rui's cultivation, ordinary ginseng has no effect on him. Only this 360-year-old ginseng can impress him.
The middle-aged man was a little upset by Li Rui's straightforward words. Just as he was about to attack him, Gao Long spoke impatiently.
"Stop arguing, you sound upset. Pay eighteen million and install it quickly. I'm in a hurry."
Gao Ping had a smile on his lips, looked at Li Rui, and said: "Young man, why do you embarrass others when they are doing business? Our Gao family is interested in this thing, so please stop chattering here. Some people
, you can’t afford to offend, and you have to stay far away.”
Gao Ping felt that he was in a good mood, and it was a sign of kindness on his part to say these words to Li Rui.
When the middle-aged man heard that these two people were from the Gao family, he no longer had any entanglement in his heart. While packing, he said: "I will pack it for you right away. Besides, you two have distinguished status, so you don't need to buy it at the ordinary price.
I'll give you an internal price of 14 million."
While talking, they all chose to forget about Li Rui. Is there anything to pay attention to in this young man who has not been weaned?
Li Rui smiled. He had argued with people countless times in more than a hundred years. Whether he wanted to scold him or not would depend on the situation.
Because he no longer intends to pay.
"Hey~ there are some people! Things that don't belong to him don't belong to him after all." Speaking softly, Li Rui shook his head and left, leaving an extremely small mark on the two middle-aged men.
Anyone who robs something from him will eventually get it, no matter who pays.
At this moment, a young man came from a distance and was about to pass Li Rui, but stopped.
"It's you!" Gao Hui looked surprised. He didn't expect to meet his enemy in the Nanyuan Underground Market, and it seems that this enemy is not qualified to enter the second underground floor of the market, right?
There was deep confusion and unhappiness in his eyes.
"Oh! It's you. It's not a good time to fight here. If your bones are itchy, let's go out and talk." Li Rui smiled and continued to walk forward.
Gao Hui and the Gao family seemed to be a family. Li Rui suddenly felt that it was more natural to snatch their things.
"You can't be happy for a few more days!" Gao Hui gritted his teeth, but did not dare to catch up with Li Rui. He turned around, saw his two cousins, and walked over quickly.
Not long after he left, Xu Yao also completed the procedures and found him. Ouyang Ye was the manager and could not participate in the auction with Xu Yao.
"How is it?" Li Rui asked.
"According to your request, we divided the dagger into three auctions, interspersed with other items for sale." Xu Yao said with a smile. The appraisal results of the Treasure Appraisal Department made Xu Yao inexplicably happy.
These three daggers can be said to be the most precious treasures in the past twenty years. If Li Rui didn't want to auction them off immediately, they would want to attract more ancient warriors to participate in the bidding.
While talking, Xu Yao also handed a pamphlet to Li Rui.
"Ouyang Ye honors you. All the items are listed above. You can prepare for the auction in advance. Ouyang Ye also gives you a privilege. All the amounts will be settled at the end of the auction."
Li Rui was in a good mood. He opened the book and read it. When he saw some things that he suspected he wanted, his mind became more active.
