Chapter 405 Auction

Ye Tian took those 500 high-grade spirit stones. He originally wanted to release the pigeons of the Nangong family, but he thought of the huge power behind the Nangong family. In a stronghold of Wushuang City, there is a strong man in the alchemy stage sitting in it. , the strength of its own family does not know how far it will go.

After Ye Tian delivered the last ten Yuanyang Fortune Pills to the Nangong Family, he was about to leave the Peerless City.

I didn't want to find out that Wu Shuang was preparing for a grand auction when Ye Tian was about to leave.

Ye Tian has a lot of money at the moment, since he has nothing to do right now, he plans to go and see if there are any rare treasures in this auction.

The venue of the auction was near a canal in the city, and there was already a lot of business and trade. When the auction was held, the crowd surged even more.

At the auction site, some people came in and out from inside and outside the gate from time to time, wearing all kinds of costumes. Apart from the secular people, there were many monks, and there were even people dressed like Cang Yue.

"Guest officer, is there anything I can do to help you?"

As soon as Ye Tian walked to the entrance of the auction, his eyes were immediately attracted by a fat man with a wide body and a fat body. The fat man looked at Ye Tian with a happy expression on his face.

"I have some spare money right now, and I want to buy some things used by monks." Ye Tian said lightly.

"It turned out to be a fellow daoist. I see that fellow daoist has a tense face. It must be the first time I have come to the auction in Wushuang City. I must not know much about the auction in our Wushuang city. This Wushuang city is close to the north. After the Yan Kingdom gave up the northern territory, it became the largest city in the north. Many sects have set up strongholds in Wushuang City, because no matter whether it is the trade between the secular people or the trade between the monks of the major sects, it is the largest city in Wushuang City. It's very prosperous. By the way, I don't know which sect of disciple this fellow Taoist is?" After the fat man finished explaining, he asked Ye Tian's sect with great interest.

"Where did you come from, I'm just a casual cultivator with no background or sect." Ye Tian replied lightly

After hearing Ye Tian's words, the fat man's eyes dimmed a little, but it was indeed fleeting, and he continued to smile. .

"Excuse me, fellow Taoist, I don't know about this auction, but do I need to be invited? Can a casual cultivator like me enter?" Ye Tian saw the fat man's expression in his eyes and asked casually.

"This fellow daoist is worrying too much. This auction does not require invitations. Whether it is a secular person or a monk, as long as you bring enough gold and silver spirit stones, you can come to participate. I just heard that fellow daoists want to buy some monks For the things you use, you can make a report with me, how much gold, silver or spirit stones are expected to be invested, and I will make a record for you here. When the auction starts, you can better classify them and let fellow daoists buy them. Things that are more suitable for you. But after the matter is completed, you need to collect some gold, silver or spirit stones from fellow Taoists in proportion." The fat man said to Ye Tian in detail.

"I plan to sell 30 high-grade spirit stones for this auction. Can you recommend any good auction items for me?" Ye Tian pondered for a while and said.

"Thirty high-grade spirit stones? This fellow Taoist, no, this immortal, can you take out those high-grade spirit stones and let the little one have a look?" The fat man heard that Ye Tian said that there were thirty pieces. The high-grade Lingshi immediately changed his name, and his attitude became respectful.

"It's all here, just look carefully." Ye Tian took out thirty top-grade spirit stones from the storage bag, and the shopkeeper Hao Sheng looked at them for a long time, until Ye Tian took those spirit stones back, and then turned his eyes.

Seeing the fat man's appearance, Ye Tian couldn't help but sneered, but the fat man saw his cultivation as an acquired Qi refining level, only slightly better than ordinary people, even if he was in business, it was difficult to see so many top-grade spirit stones .

Originally, Ye Tian thought that the Nangong family didn't give enough, but after thinking about it carefully, he might not be able to have so many spiritual stones for himself, let alone the management in front of him. Fatty at the auction house.

"Immortal, if you have any orders, just ask. The villain's surname is Tong. If the immortal thinks highly of the villain, you might as well call the little shopkeeper Tong."

The fat man claimed to be Shopkeeper Tong, and seeing his respectful attitude, Ye Tian probably regarded himself as some kind of extremely advanced casual cultivator.

The shopkeeper Tong greeted Ye Tian and came to a private room on the second floor, standing respectfully beside Ye Tian, ​​waiting for Ye Tian's orders at any time.

But looking at the appearance of the shopkeeper Tong, it was a pleasure.

The gold master in front of him must be taken care of no matter what, Shopkeeper Tong thought in his heart.

"Shopkeeper Tong, I don't know much about the rules of the auction, please explain it to me." Ye Tian went to the private room and asked about the auction situation directly.

"Immortal, you are a cultivator of the Tao, and your Taoism is profound. Although the small one is not at the top of the Qi refining stage, you are still in charge of the treasurer of the auction. Let me tell you the truth. If it is for sale, 10% will be taken from the auction. However, if you are a small one, you can give you half of the discount." Shopkeeper Tong said.

"Half a fee?" Ye Tian said with a frown.

"The immortal is calm, this is the rule of the auction. Half of the price is already the lowest discount. If you have any favorite items, the auction will give you a 50% discount. I hope the immortal can understand." Shopkeeper Tong said with a smile on his face. Laughing, he respectfully placed a token that looked like iron but not iron in front of Ye Tian with both hands.

"This is the highest member of our auction, and it is also your status symbol. You can use this token to claim any items you buy at the immortal auction or after the auction is over." Shopkeeper Tong explained to Ye Tian in detail road.

So if there is anything that needs attention, shopkeeper Tong will take the initiative to explain it properly without waiting for Ye Tian to ask, which also saves Ye Tian a lot of time.

"In this case, you helped me sell them, but these things cannot be said to be auctioned by me alone. I think you have been in this business for a long time, so you know how to operate this matter. The small items inside are only allowed to be discounted. Tomorrow I'll come back to get the spirit stone." Ye Tian casually threw out a storage bag, put it on the table, and then turned and left the attic of the auction.

Shopkeeper Tong was stunned for a while, and when he came back to his senses, he found that the fairy had already left.

Shopkeeper Tong walked quickly to the table and opened the storage bag on it, only to see that there were many weapons and treasures on display inside, and there were even many low-level or middle-level magic weapons.

"This, this, how did these things come from? Is it possible that this person is a murderer and a robber?" Shopkeeper Tong looked at these various weapons and magic weapons, secretly felt in his heart, and a gleam of light appeared in his eyes.

Ye Tian found another place in Wushuang City and changed his appearance.

Those weapons and magic weapons cannot be sold rashly in the market, but for this auction, it is a place where dragons and snakes mix, and the people who auction these items will not care about the source of these things. You can sell them at this auction.

However, Ye Tian also knew in his heart that he couldn't take too many of these things at once, or he would eventually be suspicious of himself, and he couldn't take shots at one place at the same time, otherwise, if someone recognized the owner of the magic weapon, he would find it difficult to trace it. The traces of will also be exposed.

At this time, hundreds of thousands of people living in Wushuang City are waiting for the feast of this auction.

As time goes by, the voice of discussion becomes smaller and smaller. On the contrary, the auction becomes more and more lively as time goes by. Those aristocratic families who had never appeared in the past also sent people here today. It is self-evident that they all came here for this purpose.

When it was getting dark, Ye Tian changed back to the appearance he had seen Shopkeeper Tong before, and entered the venue of the auction.

Shopkeeper Tong greeted Ye Tian in. This was the main venue specially selected for a monk auction. After Shopkeeper Tong resigned, Ye Tian found a quiet corner seat.

A graceful woman stood on the auction stage in front of her.

"Everyone be quiet, the following is the first lot auctioned by the auction house today. There are five spirit pills, and the starting price is fifty low-grade spirit stones. According to the requirements of our auction house in previous years, each increase in price should not be less than five spirit stones." stone."

The woman in the auction house had a very pleasant voice, like the ting-dong of spring water. No wonder the auction house let her such an uncultivated woman preside over the auction.

"The bidding starts now!" The woman smiled faintly and retreated to the side of the box.

"Fifty low-grade spirit stones."

"I will offer fifty-five low-grade spirit stones."

"Sixty-five low-grade spirit stones."

"Eight middle-grade spirit stones, these five soul-returning pills belong to my Yang family." The person who spoke was an old man, and he said that the Yang family was the Yang family of the immortal cultivating family in Yan Kingdom. Immediately, someone gave up on the price increase, and finally five spirit-returning pills were successfully traded for eight middle-grade spirit stones. On the whole, it was a bit of a disadvantage to win five spirit-returning pills at this price.

All this is because of the fierce battle between Cang Yue and Yan Kingdom, and the shortage of spiritual medicines among practitioners, so the spirit recovery pill that usually has less than fifty low-grade spirit stones now needs eight middle-grade spirit stones, and it is not necessarily the case. available.

That's why the people present felt that the Yang family had taken advantage of the five Huiling Pills.

The woman in charge of the auction always had a faint smile on her face, and her voice, like the ding-dong of spring water, knocked three times with the auction hammer in her hand, and finally confirmed that the five Huiling Pills had belonged to the Yang family.

"The next piece of auction is inseparably related to our Wushuang City, and that is the skill that the city lord of the unparalleled city has been practicing, and it is this skill that allows our lord the city to kill the enemy from countless battlefields. , and can advance and retreat freely. This exercise does not require much cultivation qualifications, as long as you practice diligently, you will be able to reach the realm of the ninth level of innateness after a long time.

Many people were extremely surprised by this lot.

Those secular family members obviously felt that the Lord of Wushuang City was forced to come to the auction house to make money in order to protect Wushuang City, and actually auctioned off the cultivation skills that had been hidden for many years.

"Wu Shuang Kai Yuan Kung Fu", perhaps ordinary mortals don't know the root of it, and only think that what the Lord of Wu Shuang City practiced is a superior skill. And among these aristocratic families, all of them are very familiar with "Wu Shuang Kaiyuan Kung Fu", which is the most basic outer sect horizontal exercise method in the Qi refining period, and it is widely circulated among immortal cultivators.

Of course, the aristocratic family has accumulated knowledge of thousands of years of family business, so they naturally recognize "Wushuang Kaiyuan Gong" and know how much physical pain they need to endure if they want to practice it. All the cultivators present did not take this item.

Ye Tian looked at the books in the hands of the female disciple presiding over the auction on the stage, and naturally knew that when practicing "Wu Shuang Kai Yuan Gong", his body had to endure a kind of extremely unbearable pain, and he couldn't help but think of the pain caused by his poisonous body. , That kind of unforgettable memory also made Ye Tian feel a little respect for the city lord who insisted on practicing "Wu Shuang Kai Yuan Gong" all the way to the ninth level of congenital.

"The starting price of "Wushuang Kaiyuan Gong" is ten low-grade spirit stones, and the price increase should not be less than one low-grade spirit stone." The voice of the auction woman fell, and she retreated to the side with a smile on her face. And with the announcement of the starting price of "Wushuang Kaiyuan Gong", there were countless discussions in the entire auction room.

"Is this the magical skill that the Lord City Master cultivated?"

"Is it true that like the introduction, "Wushuang Kaiyuan Gong" does not limit the qualifications of cultivating immortals?"

""Wushuang Kaiyuan Gong" sounds like a dragon and an elephant, let's not talk about whether the dragon is a real dragon, but I have heard of this elephant, and it is also a very powerful existence among monsters. No wonder this "Wushuang Kaiyuan Gong" can Let the city lord practice all the way to the ninth level of congenital."

"If it's really the skill practiced by the city lord, you can really sell it to my kid to practice. If you succeed in cultivation in the future, you will be able to glorify your ancestors, and you may even be able to ascend to a fairy!" The people who were convinced were talking to each other, and the excitement in their words was hard to restrain.

Obviously, they are just small wealthy businessmen in Wushuang City, and they have never dealt with immortal cultivators, otherwise they would not have a strong interest in "Wushuang Kaiyuan Gong".

"I will give out ten low-grade spirit stones."

"The "Wu Shuang Kai Yuan Gong" does not limit aptitude, my son will definitely be able to practice it, and I will give out fifteen low-grade spirit stones."

"Seventeen low-grade spirit stones."

"Want to compete with me, twenty-two low-grade spirit stones." After saying this, most people's eyes fell on the fat man who was bidding. Even the woman in charge of the auction took a deep look at the fat man until no one continued. After raising the price, I just walked forward and tapped the hammer three times, and I decided to leave my hand.

"Hahaha…"

Seeing that the hammer was finalized, the fat man immediately went to the attic behind to pay for the "Wushuang Kaiyuan Gong".

He didn't know at all that he was like a fool in the eyes of all the monks in that scene just now, and even the woman in charge of the auction couldn't hold back the foolishness of this person, smiled slightly, and continued to auction the next item.

There was nothing attractive about the rest of the items. Ye Tian waited until other people bid on each other. Finally, all the items in front of him were exhausted. One of the defensive artifacts, the Iron Mountain Prison, could block the attacks of monks in the middle stage of foundation establishment. The high price of sixty low-grade spirit stones.

As for the other dozens of items in the auction, although there are good magic tools and pills suitable for restoring spiritual power, the prices are much inflated, and the level of magic tools is very low, which is of little help to Ye Tian now. As for the elixir, Ye Tian can refine it by himself.

After all the previous items were sold, the woman in charge of the auction walked up to everyone with a smile on her face, and cautiously pointed to a jade box placed on a tray beside her.

"There is a thousand-year-old star spirit fruit in this storage bag. Its starting price is 500 low-grade spirit stones, and the price can be increased by no less than 10 yuan each time. Friends who like this item can bid." The woman in charge of the auction , the excited clothes on his chest were trembling with his breathing, five hundred low-grade spirit stones was too much, if converted into gold, it would be five hundred thousand taels of gold.

In the entire Wushuang City, hundreds of thousands of people live here, and the annual tax paid is only more than 400,000 taels of gold. It is conceivable that five hundred low-grade spirit stones means that the owner of this thousand-year-old star spirit fruit is already rich.

"Five hundred low-grade spirit stones." Someone was the first to bid.

"Five hundred and fifty low-grade spirit stones."

"Six hundred and fifty low-grade spirit stones." The first bidder added one hundred low-grade spirit stones directly, because the thousand-year-old herbal medicine is too rare, and the thousand-year star spirit fruit is even rarer. It hasn't happened once in the last hundred years, or even a thousand years.

"Six hundred and eighty low-grade spirit stones." The auctioneer announced the price of the next bidder with a happy face.

"The old man offered eight high-grade spirit stones." Suddenly an old voice sounded, and the entire auction house fell silent. If you sell eight high-grade spirit stones, it is equal to the price of 800 low-grade spirit stones. More or less.

Because spirit stones are also divided into grades, the lowest-grade spirit stones are the lowest, the middle-grade spirit stones are the next highest, and then the highest-grade top-grade spirit stones. However, Ye Tian once learned in the records of "Five Elements Ghost Mandrill Yufu Technique" that there is a more advanced thing in the Lingshi vein, and that is Lingyu.

The value of Lingyu is very high, and Lingshi can't compare with it.

Ten low-grade spirit stones can be exchanged for one middle-grade spirit stone, and ten middle-grade spirit stones can be exchanged for one top-grade spirit stone. Of course, these are just divisions of spirit stones, because the impurities contained in them are different because of their different qualities.

Low-grade spirit stones have the most impurities. If a practitioner recovers spiritual power with a low-grade spirit stone, the recovery speed will be much slower than that of a middle-grade spirit stone. The recovery speed of middle-grade spirit stones is naturally not comparable to high-grade spirit stones. On the surface, ten low-grade spirit stones can be exchanged for one middle-grade spirit stone, but few people are willing to exchange high-quality spirit stones. Low-quality Lingshi.

It is for this reason that when high-grade spirit stones are exchanged for middle-grade spirit stones and low-grade spirit stones, there is often a little premium.

On the surface, the eight high-grade spirit stones are 800 low-grade spirit stones, but the spiritual power contained in the eight high-grade spirit stones is more pure, and the spiritual power can be recovered faster by using them, so the effect is naturally not that of the low-grade spirit stones with many impurities comparable. So the old man bid eight high-grade spirit stones, which is actually equivalent to eight hundred and fifty low-grade spirit stones.

The price of eight high-grade spirit stones, the price of this thousand-year-old star spirit fruit stopped immediately.

Ye Tian, ​​who was sitting in the corner, waved his hand and said, "Ten top-grade spirit stones."

"Ten high-grade spirit stones, the star spirit fruit has reached the price of ten high-grade spirit stones, do you have any friends who want to increase the price?" The woman in charge of the auction happily quoted the price of ten high-grade spirit stones, looking at the previous bid An old man with eight top-grade spirit stones.

When the old man saw the look in her eyes, his old face suddenly became gloomy.

The woman in charge of the auction shrank her neck in fright. Seeing that no one else was bidding for the auction, she had to tap the hammer three times in a row, and finally confirmed that the thousand-year-old star fruit belonged to the leaf who bid for ten star fruit. God all.

After winning the finale item, the Star Spirit Fruit, the auction was completely over, and Ye Tian left the auction hall satisfied.

After leaving the auction hall, Ye Tian walked directly to an attic behind the auction house.

Ye Tian walked into the attic, and immediately saw shopkeeper Tong squinting his eyes, looking at everyone who came in front of the door, as if he was confirming the identity of each other.

"Shopkeeper Tong, take the ten top-grade spirit stones, just give me the star spirit fruit." Ye Tian came to shopkeeper Tong and threw him a storage bag filled with ten top-grade spirit stones.

"Here is the star spirit fruit, please confirm it yourself." Shopkeeper Tong took out an exquisitely carved wooden box and handed it to Ye Tian, ​​just now took the opportunity to look at the spirit stones in the storage bag, and confirmed that there were ten top-grade spirit stones inside. Lingshi, shopkeeper Tong's face was suddenly grinning from ear to ear.

"Farewell." Ye Tian opened the wooden box, confirmed that it was the thousand-year-old Star Spirit Fruit that appeared in the auction house, and left the auction house immediately.
