Five Hundred and Twenty-Four Auctions

"There are still five days until the agreed date, and there will be an auction tomorrow, so let's join in the fun." Zhai Xingchen rubbed his hands and said slyly.

"Auction?" Zhou Xing asked in surprise.

Zhai Xingchen rolled his eyes and explained helplessly: "Xuanzhen Continent is so big, there are countless rare treasures, but for practitioners, useless things are useless no matter how high the value is, so there are sales or Due to the need for exchange, the auction was born naturally. The auction on Yue'er Island is held twice a year, and each session lasts only three days. It is famous for its abundant items and is very popular! It would be a pity not to go to see the excitement .”

"Are you going to watch the fun, or do that?" Zhou Xing blinked and asked.

"Hey hey hey, brother knows me well, you can come here for nothing, why spend money, right?" Zhai Xingchen smirked, "However, it may not be possible to succeed, there are many high-level monks sitting in the town, at least Yuan Infant environment."

Zhou Xing shook his head helplessly.

Early the next morning, Zhai Xingchen disappeared. Zhou Xing smiled knowingly. He had already found out the location of the auction venue yesterday, so he went alone, not to buy anything, but to watch the fun.

The auction venue was huge and could accommodate a thousand people at the same time, but the number of monks waiting to enter outside the venue had already exceeded this number. Zhou Xing wanted to enter, but was told that he had to pay 100 middle-grade spiritual energy pills as an entry fee, or Items worth no less than 3,000 spiritual energy pills are consigned, otherwise they are not allowed to enter.

Zhou Xing was dumbfounded for a moment, he wanted to pay a hundred just to see the excitement, he stood at the door hesitating. Many monks who thought the same as him were blocked from the venue.

Soon, the gate guard issued a notice that more than 800 monks had entered the venue, and there were less than 200 places left. The entry fee was adjusted to 200, and the value of the consignment items was increased to no less than 5,000.

When Zhou Xing heard this, he was so angry that he almost cursed, the words came to his lips, and suddenly remembered Zhai Xingchen's advice, and swallowed them back.

There were still a lot of monks asking to enter. Zhou Xing had a hunch that if he hesitated any longer, the entry fee would have to rise, so he gritted his teeth and paid the money to enter. He regretted that he didn't make a quick decision just now and threw away a hundred for nothing.

Zhou Xing walked into the venue angrily, and then saw a female cultivator coming forward, and said softly: "My dear friend, do you need a more front seat? The front seat is good for observation The quality of items is also a symbol of identity and status."

The female cultivator has a beautiful face, a sweet voice, and a very charming smile, and her voice is full of temptation.

"Is there any difference?" Zhou Xing asked mysteriously.

The female cultivator smiled coquettishly, her big watery eyes kept flickering, and she said in a soft voice: "Of course there is a difference. You need to add 500 for those sitting in the first five rows, and 300 for those sitting in the sixth to tenth rows. There is an extra 100 for those in the eleventh to twentieth rows, and there is no extra charge for those in the twentieth row. Brother, where do you sit?"

"I... add five hundred!" Zhou Xing hesitated for a while before making a decision.

When he was sitting in the fourth row in front, his whole body trembled suddenly, and his head suddenly came to his senses.

"This mud horse is a routine!" Zhou Xing realized it later and was very depressed.

A young monk sitting next to him still had a wretched smile on his face. Zhou Xing suddenly remembered that his master once said that some female monks specialize in the art of charm, and male monks who are not deep enough are very easy to be recruited.

Zhou Xing blushed instantly, feeling that sitting here was simply the greatest irony, but all the money was spent, and he could only admit that he was unlucky.

After about a stick of incense, an old man in a green robe walked up to the front desk, and the venue suddenly fell silent. The old man cleared his throat and said in a deep voice: "The old man Zheng Se is the host of this auction. He is responsible for introducing the auction items to all the immortal friends. There are a total of thirty-six items in today's auction, which are divided into pills, exercises, and treasures. There are five categories in total, and the price increase is no less than one thousand middle-grade spiritual energy pills each time. Okay, without wasting everyone's time, the auction will start now. The first lot is a top-grade Lingbao, a diamond ring. This treasure can be large or small, offensive and defensive. Both, there are three kinds of manipulative tactics, with many changes, can be advanced to magic weapons, and the starting price is 5,000!"

"Six thousand!"

"Seven thousand!"

"Seven thousand two!"

...

With the rounds of bidding, the atmosphere in the venue was heightened, and everyone's face was full of brilliance.

Seeing good things being auctioned off, Zhou Xing felt a little itchy, and gradually changed his mind. If he encountered something that was really needed, he decided to participate in the auction as well. So, he checked his family property, and found that there were only 20,000 spiritual energy pills, which seemed to be a shame in this kind of place, and he might not be able to take pictures of anything.

"The twenty-sixth lot is a high-level top-grade exercise book called "The Secret Art of Making Puppets", which contains almost all the secrets of making and manipulating puppets. If it can be used in conjunction with the Soul Devouring Orb, the effect will be even greater. Outstanding! The starting price is 5,000 Spiritual Qi Pills, let's start bidding!"

"Seven thousand!"

"Nine thousand!"

"Thirteen thousand!"

...

People's emotions were ignited again, and the venue became lively again, with calls for prices one after another.

When the old man announced the name of the lot, Zhou Xing's eyes widened. A big and stupid man made him deeply appreciate the power of a puppet, and at this moment, there was a gnawing puppet quietly lying in his Heiner ring. The soul orb is a trophy obtained from the Golden Core cultivator of the Giant Sword Sect. Unexpectedly, I encountered a skill book that can be used in conjunction with it here.

Zhou Xing is bound to win this book!

"Twenty thousand!" He immediately called out his offer, and was drowned out by the sound of subsequent offers.

"Twenty-five thousand!"

"Twenty-eight thousand!"

"forty thousand!"

...

In the end, "The Secret Art of Making Puppets" was auctioned off by a Golden Core cultivator at a high price of 68,000.

Zhou Xing sat on the chair blankly, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

When all the thirty-six items were photographed, it was almost dark. After the show ended, Zhou Xing went back to where he was staying, but Zhai Xingchen hadn't come back yet.

Zhou Xing was a little worried, fearing that something might happen to him, so he waited another hour in anxiety, but Zhai Xingchen still didn't come back. He couldn't sit still anymore, and walked up and down the room, not knowing where to find him.

Just as he was about to return to the auction house, Zhai Xingchen finally showed up and threw him a book as soon as he entered the door. Zhou Xing looked down, and it was the "Secret Art of Making Puppets"!

"Brother, you...why is this book here?" Zhou Xing was taken aback.

"Hey, of course I took it. After sitting there for so long, you bid a price for this book, which shows that you need it very much, so I took it back." Zhai Xingchen said with a smile.

Zhou Xing frowned slightly, and said, "This... is this okay? They bought it for 68,000 yuan."

"You are worthy of belonging to Tianyuanzong, and you behave in an upright manner, but what about the result, where is Yuanzong today?" Zhai Xingchen sneered.
