Chapter 1290 Chu Jiang Zhenjun
Ji Ming replied: "Yes, the quota for refining equipment of True Lord Chiye is very popular. It is hard to say if it is scheduled with True Lord Chiye. The auction is held every three to five years, and there are dozens of people competing for it every time. The highest price was 16,000 Nether Stones."
16,000 Nether Stones? This is indeed a sky-high price. The total assets of most Jindan cultivators are only tens of thousands of spirit stones, and this must be added with real estate such as magic weapons. It is rare to be able to take out more than 10,000 spirit stones at a time. More importantly, this is just the price of the quota, and the reward of True Lord Chiye has not been added. If all that is counted, it will be even more amazing.
It's really a move to eat all over the world. I just have too many things to do and can't stay in one place for a long time. Otherwise, with Qingyang's alchemy skills, it is estimated that many people will ask him to help refine high-level pills. The status and treatment will probably not be worse than that of True Lord Chiye.
Now that Qingyang's strength has increased, his ability to judge the cultivation level of Yuanying cultivators has also become stronger and stronger. According to the momentum released by Chiye Zhenjun, he is almost at the second level of Yuanying. As for the disciples behind him, in addition to the goatee of the third level of Jindan, there are two middle-stage Jindan and two late-stage Jindan. The strongest one is an old man with perfect Jindan cultivation. Seeing that he is closely following Chiye Zhenjun, his momentum is also different. He is likely to be his eldest disciple.
While talking, Chiye Zhenjun has taken his disciples to the second floor, and then, under the arrangement of an auction maid, he entered a room slightly to the left of the front. Although Chiye Zhenjun is very famous for refining weapons, there are still many people in Chujiang City who have higher status than him.
With the arrival of Chiye Zhenjun, other important figures in Chujiang City also came to the auction one after another. This auction is held only twice a year, and each time it lasts for several days. It is a rare event in Chujiang City. There are many kinds of things in the auction, including relatively niche things such as refining quotas and unpopular secrets, as well as priceless rare treasures such as ten thousand year elixir. For such an important event, almost all the important figures in Chujiang City will participate.
Qingyang is new to Chujiang City and doesn't know the big figures in Chujiang City, but Ji Ming next to him is very familiar with them. There is a saying that every profession has its own specialty, and these maids do this, so they naturally remember it clearly. With Ji Ming's guidance, Qingyang remembers many of them.
For an auction held in the fairy city like this, because everyone is familiar with each other and they are all the leading figures in Chujiang City, there is no need to hide. Everyone comes openly. If someone hides his head and shows his tail and is recognized, it will not only be embarrassing but also arouse suspicion. Only a very few people, perhaps with some secrets or because of their shameful identities, would use some special means to hide their cultivation or cover up their true appearance to attend the auction.
When the auction was about to start, two more people entered the auction venue. The first one was a middle-aged man in a light blue robe, who was actually at the sixth level of the Nascent Soul. The one who led the way beside him was an old man in green, who was at the first level of the Nascent Soul.
The influence of these two people seemed to be very large. Almost all the cultivators stood up to greet them wherever they passed. Without Ji Ming's introduction, Qingyang judged from the way others addressed them that the one in the light blue robe was the Lord of Chujiang City, Chujiang Zhenjun, and the old man in black was the person in charge of the auction venue, Yinshan Zhenjun. Behind the auction was the City Lord's Mansion. Under normal circumstances, Chujiang Zhenjun would not come to participate in the auction, but this time he suddenly came for some reason. Yinshan Zhenjun had just received the news and hurried to greet him and lead the way.
True Lord Chu Jiang came. The room in the middle of the front must be his. True Lord Yinshan led True Lord Chu Jiang to the room. After arranging the city lord, True Lord Yinshan hurried downstairs because the auction was about to start.
Sure enough, less than an incense stick of time later, True Lord Yinshan appeared on the auction platform below. He did not exchange polite words with everyone. He just said a few simple opening remarks and directly announced the start of the auction. Then a maid in the foundation-building stage came on stage with a tray.
The first item was a pair of fangs of zombies in the late Jindan stage. It is said that it can be used to refine a small top-grade attacking underworld weapon. The starting price is 8,000 underworld stones. This thing is a bit low-level for a late Jindan cultivator like Qingyang, but it is more popular among foundation-building cultivators and early Jindan cultivators, so it is still very good for warming up the crowd.
A fierce competition soon began, and the bids below rose steadily, and soon exceeded 10,000 Nether Stones. After a tug-of-war, the pair of zombie fangs was finally bought by a black-robed monk who concealed his true face at a price of 11,300 Nether Stones.
The price of Nether Artifacts is similar to that of Spirit Artifacts. An offensive-type top-grade Nether Artifact is worth about 20,000 Nether Stones, and the main material accounts for about 60% of the total value, which is about 12,000 Nether Stones. However, this pair of fangs is a bit small and relatively cheaper. The price of 11,300 Nether Stones is still quite reasonable. Everyone present is a smart person, and everyone will throw Nether Stones randomly for a dispute of will.
After the zombie fangs were auctioned off, the maids immediately brought up the second item, and True Lord Yinshan continued to auction. Perhaps to take care of the foundation-building monks and the early and middle Jindan monks who came to participate in the auction, some of the items auctioned at the beginning were not very valuable, and there were no too eye-catching things. Qingyang was not interested in these and felt drowsy for a while.
After an unknown amount of time, the Master Yinshan on the stage suddenly said, "The item that will be auctioned next is a special item. Those who don't need it may not be interested, but for those who need it, it is a priceless opportunity. This item is the quota for this year's weapon refining for Master Chiye, the weapon refining master of Chujiang City. The starting price is 10,000 Nether Stones. Don't miss it."
Qingyang came to this auction mainly for this item, so he naturally couldn't miss it. After hearing what Master Yinshan said, Qingyang immediately sat up straight and lost his sleepiness. However, he didn't rush to make an offer, but planned to see the situation first and wait until the last moment to make a move.
As soon as Master Yinshan finished speaking, a late Jindan cultivator couldn't wait to say, "10,300 Nether Stones, I want this quota."
A cultivator next to him said, "Humph, 10,300 Nether Stones are like buying Master Chiyan's refining quota? You are really stingy, I will pay 10,500 Nether Stones for this quota."
"You only added 200 Nether Stones once, you are not that good? I will pay 11,000 Nether Stones, and I am determined to get this refining quota." Another cultivator said.
