13. Auction

The auction conference in Damofang will not last long. They just put some treasures and fine products collected in the past five years together for auction. Naturally, in terms of quality channels, they cannot be compared with the real Dafang City.

Therefore, the auction meeting held every five years in Da Mo Fang usually only lasts for a few hours - compared with the monthly meetings and the annual small meetings, it naturally takes longer.

Before the auction started, Su Anran had already entered the venue with two people.

One of them is foodie Ye Yunchi.

The other person is Mr. Jiang as mentioned by the passers-by yesterday.

Su Anran didn't bother to ask the other party's identity. He bought the quota at a fixed price of 4,000 Qi Condensation Pills. So counting Ye Yunchi's 1,600 Qi Condensation Pills, Su Anran not only spent no money to take the photo of this invitation,

Instead, he also earned 2,600 Qi Condensing Pills.

This made me smile from ear to ear.

Neither Mr. Jiang nor Ye Yunchi were interested in the auction items, so after entering the auction house, they started eating and stuffing themselves.

Probably because the Zhang family, as the owner of the auction house, invited the famous Chef Ning from Damo Square, this auction did not wait until the afternoon to open as in the past, but opened from early in the morning: it was also provided for free.

After three meals, basically everything is free.

However, as the highlight of the finale, the "Whale Swallow Blood Sugar Water" is only available during the dinner.

Su Anran didn't go to eat with the so-called Mr. Jiang and Ye Yunchi. He even pretended not to know each other.

Because when it comes to eating, these two foodies are rivals, equally matched...

The two of them directly swept away two-thirds of the food in the entire banquet hall, and even caused a logistics crisis at one point.

Su Anran felt that she could not afford to lose this person.



In the afternoon, the auction started as scheduled.

As expected, Su Anran did not see the two foodies, Mr. Jiang and Ye Yunchi.

He silently felt sorry for the waiters and waiters and the people in charge of the dishes. After three seconds, he walked into the auction hall.

The main way to make money in the market is mostly through auctions.

Therefore, after a market is built, even if the finances are temporarily tight, the auction house will never be too shabby. Basically, just looking at the size of a market's auction house, you can know the ambition of this market.

How old is it.

Da Mo Fang is undoubtedly a very ambitious type.

Their backer, the Guya Sect, Su Anran, has used the Wanshi Jade Slips to conduct a knowledge assault in the past two days, so he cannot be considered a stranger to the Guya Sect. It is a large sect whose strength is no weaker than the Thirty-Six Shang Sect

, even among the seventy-two, he can still be among the top three.

The Thirty-Six Sects and the Seventy-two Sects also have a more detailed ranking in their respective sequences.

The outside world calls it the upper and lower lists.

This ranking is based on ten units. The higher the ranking is, the stronger it will be, and the lower the ranking will be, the weaker the foundation will be.

Take the Thirty-six Shangzong as an example.

Among the top ten sects, the Fairy Palace ranks first, followed by the Zhongzhou Huang Family, Tianwang Temple, Zhongzhou Wang Family, Zhongzhou Ji Family, Shujianmen, Xingyun Palace, Zhongzhou Chen Family, Xizhou Ji Family, and Longhu Villa

.

These ten sects all have comprehensive strength that is almost as good as that of the nineteen sects, and the reason why they failed to replace them or become recognized as the twentieth sect is simply because they lack a little luck.

Of course, if compared to the ones with the strongest foundations among the nineteen sects - such as the Great Sun Tathagata Sect known as Lingshan orthodoxy, the Zhenyuan Sect with countless immortals, the Wandao Palace with the root of all dharma, and the various sects from the birthplace of Confucianism,

The Zi Xuegong, the Hidden Sword Pavilion known as the Sword Tomb, the Wanjian Tower known as the Sword God Palace, and the Dahuang City known as the origin of martial arts - the gap is definitely not small.

The ranking of the lower ten sects means that these ten sects, one of the thirty-six upper sects, are not much better than the ten upper sects among the seventy-two upper sects. They are all in a sequence that may be disqualified and downgraded at any time.

Therefore, the Guya Sect can be ranked third among the top ten sects, and its heritage and comprehensive strength cannot be underestimated.

However, in this regard, it is also due to the fact that Guya Sect occupies a geomantic treasure: it is located in one of the four transportation hubs in the southeastern region of Zhongzhou. If the sects traveling from south to north want to pass safely, they are indispensable.

Borrowing the teleportation array of the Guya Sect. In addition, there are not too strong sects around - not to mention behemoths like the Nineteenth Sect, even the Thirty-sixth Sect are separated by more than three teleportation arrays.

, and it is also a sect in the lower ten sects.

It is this opportunity that allows the Guya Sect to successfully grow to its current position.



The auction hall has a patio layout, and the hall on the first floor can seat at least a thousand people.

There are private seats on the second floor, private rooms on the third and fourth floors, and private rooms on the fifth and sixth floors.

Naturally, admission tickets can only be used for seats in the lobby on the first floor.

The lowest level of invitations is also the private seating compartment on the second floor, which has slightly improved comfort.

The famous invitations and sect invitations written by the owner of Damo Fang or the Guya sect are naturally the seats in the private rooms on the fifth and sixth floors.

The invitation in Su Anran's hand is the matchmaker's inherent share, so she can get a private room on the fourth floor - Da Mo Fang doesn't care what the matchmaker plans to do with these invitations, whether it's giving them away or bidding.

, anyway, there is a fixed quota of five invitations.

Shortly after Su Anran took her seat, the auction officially began.

After the auctioneer came on stage and said a few words, he immediately announced the start of the auction, and then placed an item in the middle of the patio terrace.

The next moment, after the magic circle was activated, thousands of rays of light rose from the ground, immediately illuminating the auction items in the form of a projection, allowing people on all floors of the entire patio auction hall to see clearly.

Su Anran nodded slightly.

This Xianxia version of the method and technology is quite novel.

But just...

This auction method is really a bit inferior.

Even if Su Anran doesn't know anything about this circle, he also knows that the most important things in an auction are definitely the opening and the finale. The former is used to heat up the atmosphere, and the latter is used as an auction.

The most important items in the auction will appear. Of course, in some auctions, one or two central lots will be prepared to heat up the atmosphere, or a few insignificant small lots will be prepared before the finale to buffer the tense atmosphere, etc.

But the first auction item in Damofang was not qualified to be the opening at all.

In Su Anran's view, the so-called auction in Damofang is probably based on the estimated value of the items, and then gradually launched in order from low to high, without any technical content at all.

And speaking of technical content, the auctioneer was actually an imposing old man. Apart from a few insignificant nonsense words at the beginning, and then a brief comment when the lot appeared, he acted like a sculpture throughout the whole process, with a look of pity.

Words are like gold style.

Su Anran looked disdainful.

However, Su Anran despised it, but the monks in the Xuanjie seemed to have been accustomed to this kind of auction method, so they bid when they should and rushed to buy when they should.

In just a short period of time, six or seven lots were already taken away.

Su Anran sighed.

He felt that if he were allowed to be the auctioneer, the transaction price would probably more than double.

Maybe it's twice as much.

"It must be that after these auctioneers auction things off, they don't get any profit sharing." Su Anran couldn't help but guess maliciously.

"We at Damofang have limited capabilities for this next auction, and we don't know the specific origin and name." The sudden words of the auctioneer who cherished his words like gold made Su Anran's eyes look into the store, "But

After receiving the guidance from the Guya Sect master, we found that the material of this item alone is a priceless treasure. If we can find a suitable method to decompose and use it, we may be able to create a top-quality magic weapon that can even withstand Tao Yun.

The embryo of the Tao treasure of power."

"Wow--" The entire venue became excited in an instant.

Su Anran blinked and suddenly became somewhat interested in this auction item.

I saw something quickly appear on the projection.

It is a rectangular object, about one meter in length and about three centimeters in thickness. It is engraved with complicated and peculiar textures, and it looks a bit strangely beautiful, but if you look closely, you will find that

My mental power and consciousness were absorbed uncontrollably, causing me to feel dizzy.

"Innate Dao Mark!?" Su Anran looked surprised.

Although Taiyi Valley has a small population and cannot be called a famous sect, its underlying strength and knowledge inheritance are not weak at all.

So when Su Anran saw those patterns, she felt dizzy and immediately realized what the patterns on this stick-like thing were.

"But...it seems to be incomplete?" Su Anran frowned.

He didn't dare to immerse himself in it. He just briefly observed the outline, and then found that this thing had very obvious signs of damage - judging from the broken edge, it should have been cut directly with some kind of sharp instrument. However,

The problem was that Su Anran couldn't figure out how big this thing was originally and how many pieces it was divided into after being cut.

Damofang did not seize this thing, but chose to put it up for auction. It was obvious that they had discovered this, and they had no confidence in whether they could collect it all. This proved that this piece of wood was either used by someone else for consignment.

Or it was discovered accidentally by the Guya Sect - it is true that the natural Dao pattern is very rare. If you can understand something from it, it will be a rare treasure for the Daoji realm powerful people. But if it is incomplete

Dao pattern, then its value will plummet, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is worthless.

"Unknown material, lowest price is 5,000 Qi Condensing Pills, bidding begins."

Hearing the auctioneer's words, Su Anran nodded slightly. This was the same result as he had guessed.

The Guya Sect had obviously researched this item thoroughly, but had gained nothing, so they allowed Damofang to put it up for auction.

After all, if the Taoist patterns on it still have some effect, let alone whether the Guya Sect will put it up for auction, even if it does put it up for auction, the price will not be very low, at least it will be one hundred thousand.

Unknown material.

The base price is five thousand.

Obviously, this thing is really just a material for Guya Sect and Dado Fang - it may not even be considered as the main material for forging.

"Perhaps we can buy it back for Senior Sister Seven to study?" Su Anran thought for a moment, and then participated in the bidding.

"Seven Thousand Qi Condensing Pills."

Auctions are not an emerging industry in the Mysterious World, so most monks have a relatively clear understanding of the methods involved. Under normal circumstances, the starting price of the auction is two-thirds of the total estimated value, so five thousand

The base price of the Qi Condensing Pill means that this item of unknown material is only worth 8,000 Qi Condensing Pills at most. Even if there is a premium, it will only be worth 10,000 Qi Condensing Pills at most.

In the previous rounds of bidding, the price displayed on the phantom projection board on the side was 6,100 Qi Condensing Pills - this was also where Su Anran complained about the auctioneer, who actually did not call out the price, but allowed those people to

The monks bid casually and only used a projection to display the bidding price, so there was no atmosphere at all - so Su Anran directly asked for seven thousand, which was equivalent to a big step forward for the total estimated value of the lot.

Most of the monks who wanted to pick up the leaks basically gave up after seeing the price.

After a slight pause, a new price was refreshed on the projection board.

Seven thousand two hundred.

Su Anran was about to bid immediately, but after thinking for a while, she was afraid that others would suspect that it was a good thing and wanted to compete with him, so she paused for a while before offering a new price.

Seven thousand five hundred.

This time, as expected, no one continued to bid with Su Anran.

After waiting for about thirty seconds, the auction of the unknown material was finally settled.

"What are you doing taking pictures of this?"

A slightly cold voice suddenly sounded beside Su Anran.

He turned his head and saw that the two foodies, Mr. Jiang and Ye Yunchi, were back.

"Why are you back?" Su Anran was stunned.

"They said that the man in charge went to rest." Ye Yunchi said.

Su Anran's face froze, with a look of disbelief on her face.

These two people actually went on strike until the kitchen could no longer cook the food?

Are you pigs?

"We have to wait for the dinner." Mr. Jiang also looked regretful, "I'm only half full."

"I'm 40%." Ye Yunchi raised his head proudly.

"I...I am 30%!"

"Then I'll give you 20%!"

Seeing that the two of them were actually competing here to see who could eat better, Su Anran was speechless.

He can now be sure that these two people are really pigs!

After a dispute, Ye Yunchi narrowly won with "10%", leaving Su Anran quite speechless. However, after arguing about who was more like a pig, Ye Yunchi suddenly turned his head and looked at Su Anran: "That thing is a defective product.

Although there are indeed some traces of the natural Dao pattern on it, it is too badly damaged, maybe not even one-fifth of it, and it is not worth the high price... You have been fooled."

"Can you tell?"

"Can normal people see this?" The person who spoke this time was a young man who called himself Mr. Jiang. "Judging from the cut marks, they should have been cut by sword energy or saber energy. And from the restrained texture, the interlacing

Judging from the patterns and overlapping parts, this part of the Dao pattern is not even the core Dao pattern... This thing is probably only worth a material fee, so the Dao pattern on it is just a decoration."

At the end of the sentence, Mr. Jiang also said with certainty: "You have been fooled."

Su Anran was speechless: "I haven't asked for advice before..."

"Jiang Kai is my great-grandfather." Mr. Jiang looked proud, as if he was the most handsome boy whenever he said this name.

Su Anran was a little confused, then turned to look at Ye Yunchi, who also had a confused look on his face.

Mr. Jiang glanced at Su Anran and then at Ye Yunchi, his face suddenly turned red and hot, and his voice sounded like a mosquito: "My grandfather is now the leader of the Yunjiang Gang."

The Yunjiang Gang is in charge of business in several river basins in the southeastern region of Zhongzhou. It ranks among the thirty-sixth sect. Although it is ranked among the ten lower sects, the title of one of the thirty-sixth sect is still very intimidating.

In this regard, Su Anran could only sigh.

As expected of a disciple from the Great Gate Sect, he even knows the Taoist patterns so well.

When Su Anran thought of this, he was a little annoyed. His cheap master had disappeared after giving him this skill. He has never taught him any orthodox content. Even his understanding of things like innate Taoist patterns,

I only learned about it through the occasional explanations from other senior sisters. Who knew there were so many different things in it.

The auction did not stop due to the exchanges between Su Anran, Mr. Jiang, Ye Yunchi and others, and soon several more items were sold.

"Okay, next is the last lot of our auction." The auctioneer suddenly became more talkative, "I believe I don't need to introduce this lot. Many people must be here for it.

It comes."

"Here comes the main event." Mr. Jiang suddenly became very interested.

"Speaking of which, you are the great-grandson of the leader of the Yunjiang Gang, so you should be invited, right?" Su Anran suddenly became curious.

"Grandpa Grandpa is not interested in the auction items this time, so he didn't plan to come. I sneaked out." Mr. Jiang said, with regret on his face, "I didn't steal that invitation. I originally wanted to

I came here to bid for one at the Red House, but I didn’t expect that when I came, the auction at the Red House was over.”

"Okay." Su Anran suddenly felt that people who could play with Ye Yunchi did have some IQ problems.

"What's going on with this highlight?"

"The Guya Sect got a fragment of a treasure map from somewhere. After verification, it was found to be the ruins of Jinyang Immortal's cave. I guess it was excavated together with the Dao pattern wooden strip in your hand." Young Master Jiang.

He said, "But Guya Sect must have been unable to find any clues, so they had no choice but to put it up for auction."

"It's a bit strange." Ye Yunchi frowned, "This kind of treasure, even if there are no clues for the time being, can be collected first, but rushing to auction it is a bit like..."

“Hot potato.”

"Yes." Mr. Jiang nodded, "Many people already know that Guya Sect has such a treasure map fragment. In the past year, the mountain gate of Guya Sect has been invaded, so it is worth it

This is the time for the auction held every five years in Dadofang, so I put it up for auction...but I think the Guya Sect must have kept a copy."

"It's useless to have a copy." Ye Yunchi shook his head, "The Guya Sect has already put out the tokens for auction. Without the tokens, even if you find Jinyang Immortal Lord's mansion, you won't be able to enter. The water here is too deep, it's not nineteen

Anyone who dares to get involved in a large sect with strong foundations such as the Sect or the Ten Sects is not seeking death."

Ye Yunchi and Young Master Jiang were still commenting, but the bidding downstairs had already begun.

The remaining pages of the treasure map of the Jinyang Xianjun Cave Mansion ruins, as well as the token that opened the cave, are a set of two, with a base price of 50,000 Qi Condensing Pills.

"Anyway, it's not something we can..." Mr. Jiang suddenly stopped talking.

Because they saw Su Anran holding the jade slip for bidding and staring at the bidding board below with a solemn expression.

The base price was 50,000 yuan, and in the blink of an eye, it had already sold for 100,000 yuan!

"Aren't you?"

"This thing is not something we can get our hands on!"

Ye Yunchi and Mr. Jiang spoke urgently.
