Chapter 705 White Star Golden Sword!
Huasheng Auction House.
This auction house named Huasheng is one of the major auction houses in the southern part of the city.
A small auction was held here today, which was also the purpose of Wei Hong's visit today.
After entering the auction house, a servant immediately came to greet him.
"Hello, senior. Are you here to participate in today's auction?" The servant asked respectfully.
Wei Hong nodded lightly and said, "Yes, this is the auction certificate."
After that, he took out a white jade token, which he had bought with three medium-grade spirit stones before, and he could participate in the auction with this jade token.
"Senior, please come in!"
After seeing the white jade token, the servant immediately stretched out his hand to lead Wei Hong inside.
Soon, under the guidance of the servant, he came to a spacious hall. In the deepest part of the hall, there was a round platform with a height of 10 feet and a width of more than 30 feet. On the platform was a purple wooden table with a brass hammer on it. Next to it was a small wooden frame with a bronze bell hanging on it.
In front of the platform, more than 200 seats spread out in a fan shape. A number was engraved behind each seat to correspond to each jade card.
After arriving here, the servant immediately introduced respectfully: "Senior, your seat is No. 56, over there, I will take you here!"
The number on the jade card in Wei Hong's hand was 56.
So he nodded and said: "Okay, you can leave!"
After the servant bowed and left, he sat down on the seat No. 56.
After him, many more monks slowly walked into the hall. The more than 200 seats in the hall were gradually filled in less than half an hour. It is conceivable that even though this is just a small auction, it has been sought after by many foundation-building monks.
That's right, this small auction is held for foundation-building monks.
After sitting down in his seat, Wei Hong has been resting his eyes, ignoring the surrounding situation.
Ding!
He slowly opened his eyes until he heard a bell.
I saw that a middle-aged man had already climbed up the high platform in front. This man has a slender figure, looks very upright, and laughs very heartily and generously, which makes people feel quite good.
The person who just rang the bell is the middle-aged man.
After attracting the attention of everyone at the auction, the middle-aged man gently put down the hammer in his hand, and then laughed heartily: "Haha, fellow Taoists, you are polite. I am Zhou Qiming, the chief appraiser of Huasheng Auction. I will also be in charge of the auction this time. I hope that all fellow Taoists can gain something."
"Okay, let's not waste any more time, let's start the auction now!"
Ding!
The auctioneer Zhou Qiming was very straightforward. After saying a few polite words to introduce himself, he started the auction directly.
A maid who had been waiting for a long time immediately walked up to the high platform with a white jade tray, and then gently placed the tray on the purple wooden table.
Zhou Qiming stepped forward and uncovered the silk cloth covering the tray, revealing an object in the tray.
It was a small light golden sword, as big as a palm.
Zhou Qiming picked up the small sword and introduced it to everyone: "This first auction item is a second-grade top-grade gold-attributed flying sword, named Baixing Jinfeng Sword, which was made by the weapon refining master Hua Ruihua. This sword is extremely sharp and tough. It is not much inferior to the second-grade top-grade flying swords. It is a rare spiritual weapon."
"The auction begins now. The starting price of Baixing Jinfeng Sword is one thousand middle-grade spiritual stones, and each bid must not be less than fifty spiritual stones."
Ding!
With a bell ringing, the auction officially began.
And choosing a second-grade top-grade flying sword as the first auction item is obviously a gimmick created by the auction house.
As expected, many foundation-building cultivators present immediately took a fancy to the Baixing Jinfeng Sword.
"One thousand middle-grade spiritual stones, I want it!"
A slightly sharp voice sounded in the venue.
"Hehe, you want to get it for a thousand spirit stones? I'll give you one thousand and fifty middle-grade spirit stones."
"I'll add fifty, one thousand and one hundred."
"One thousand one hundred and fifty spirit stones!"
"One thousand two hundred!"
Many cultivators followed suit and soon raised the price of the White Star Golden Edge Sword to more than one thousand two hundred spirit stones.
Wei Hong shook his head secretly when he saw this, without any interest.
Because he noticed from the beginning that the starting price of these items at the auction was already higher than the market price, and now there were more people scrambling for it, the price was directly raised by more than double. In his opinion, this was simply a big sucker, and it was not worth spending one or two thousand middle-grade spirit stones to buy such a flying sword.
But others didn't think the same way as him. At this time, a deep voice shouted: "I'll give you one thousand three hundred spirit stones!"
Such a high price directly suppressed other competing cultivators.
For a while, no one continued to bid.
Seeing this, Zhou Qiming immediately shouted loudly: "Daoyou No. 5 bid 1,300 medium-grade spirit stones. Is there anyone who can offer a higher price?"
"If not, then this White Star Golden Edge Sword will belong to Daoyou No. 5!"
"1,300 spirit stones for the first time."
"1,300 spirit stones for the second time."
"One thousand three hundred spirit stones for the third time, very good, congratulations to fellow Taoist No. 5, please go to the backstage to make the transaction."
Ding!
Zhou Qiming rang the bell crisply and announced that the first lot was successfully auctioned.
At this time, the second lot was also placed on the wooden table.
Zhou Qiming picked up the second lot and introduced it directly: "Fellow Taoists, this second lot is a piece of second-grade top-grade blood-yang iron. This thing can be used to refine second-grade top-grade inner armor. It is rare on weekdays. The starting price is two hundred medium-grade spirit stones, and each bid must not be less than fifty spirit stones."
Ding!
The auction of the second lot officially began.
However, compared with the first lot, only a few people were interested in this material called blood-yang iron.
"Two hundred spirit stones!"
A young cultivator directly called out the price.
After a while, another middle-aged cultivator raised the price: "I'll offer 250 spiritual stones."
"300 spiritual stones!"
The young cultivator who started the bidding continued to bid.
As soon as this price was announced, no one else competed with it.
After all, it was just a piece of material, not a real second-grade upper-grade spiritual weapon.
Although the second-grade upper-grade inner armor is very precious, it is not certain whether it can be refined!
Therefore, the young cultivator bid for the Blood Sun Iron at the price of 300 middle-grade spiritual stones.
"Very good, congratulations to fellow Taoist No. 13, please go to the backstage to hand over the transaction, and now we will send the next item to the auction."
"This is a second-grade middle-grade"
Zhou Qiming's voice spread throughout the venue, and items were auctioned off one after another.
