Ye Shu's heart moved.
Auction bees?
Yan Changlan asked first: "Is it possible that the queen bee is also sold?"
The middle-aged shopkeeper smiled and said: "Not only the queen bee, but also some mutated larvae, some methods of cultivating bees, as well as hives, some mutated bee eggs, etc. are all going to be auctioned." He saw that Ye Shu seemed to have something to say. You want to ask, and continued, "Your distinguished guest may be worried, what should I do if I buy the bees but there are no spiritual flowers? There are also hundreds of mature spiritual flowers and ungerminated spiritual flower seeds for sale at this auction. . If you take pictures of bees and then take pictures of spiritual flowers, your distinguished guests can naturally raise bees and brew nectar by themselves."
Ye Shu's expression moved slightly.
If so, he could take some pictures.
Bees have hives, and flower seeds or adult plants can be brought back to the yard. After settling down, they can be planted, raised, and made into honey...
Thinking like this, Ye Shu said: "It's indeed interesting."
The middle-aged shopkeeper took out an invitation card from his sleeve and pushed it in front of Ye Shu: "With this invitation, you can participate in the auction, but these are ordinary seats. If you two want to have a private seat, you can also Take this invitation and add some spiritual coins..."
Ye Shu accepted the invitation: "Thank you very much, shopkeeper."
The middle-aged shopkeeper smiled and said: "You're welcome, it's because the distinguished guest has abundant financial resources, so I'm sending you this gift as a gift."
Ye Shu paused and asked again: "It's just..." He lowered his voice, "It's just the shopkeeper, do you know why the bees are so restless in Baihua Ridge?"
The shopkeeper's face changed slightly when he heard this.
Ye Shu leaned forward slightly: "Is there something that cannot be said clearly?"
The shopkeeper immediately came back to his senses and said with a smile: "It is not impossible to explain clearly. What the distinguished guests do not know is that although there are many bees in Baihua Ridge, in the past, during the peak honey-making season, they would fight each other and compete for territory, killing many bees. Therefore, although there are many bees hatched every year, the total number always tends to be balanced, and the number of queen bees and queen bees is almost unchanged. They just sit on the Diaoyutai and watch the bees below work hard. And this year But there was something different. Seeing that honey would be produced next month, unexpectedly, a seriously injured Tai Sui plant came from nowhere in the ridge. It is said that it will be a thousand years old. Once it reaches a thousand years, it will become wise. However, it has never enlightened. , the bees saw it, and they swarmed to attack it. Several queen bees went to eat it, and the queen bee and other bees also rushed to get first... Eating Tai Sui was of great benefit to the queen bees, so they had no intention of eating it. The bees were driven to fight, but because of the benefits they got from Tai Sui, many of the bees under their command either mutated or advanced... As a result, not only were there a lot more bees, but there were also a lot more queen bees. , the territory has to be re-divided. Furthermore, although there are many spiritual flowers in Baihua Ridge, if so many bees are allowed to collect nectar, they may not be able to supply it, and if the queen bee is allowed to fight, it will be unknown. How long will it take to resettle that territory, and I don’t know how long it will take before the bees can collect honey again.”
Ye Shu and Yan Changlan were startled when they heard this.
It's actually Tai Sui?
Rare objects like Tai Sui are extremely rare, let alone Tai Sui that is nearly a thousand years old.
When Tai Sui attains wisdom after a thousand years, it will be difficult for anyone to find traces of them. It is a pity that they fell short in this calamity a thousand years ago.
Ye Shu thought for a while, and like many people, deliberately showed greed: "Then Tai Sui..."
The shopkeeper touched his beard: "When the city lord's palace sent people over, Tai Sui only had a fist-sized piece left, and the guards took it back. In the subsequent auction, there is no telling that the city lord will take out some for auction, and let me wait for it. It’s a feast for the eyes.”
Ye Shu immediately looked eager to try.
The shopkeeper was also very satisfied with Ye Shu's behavior. At this moment, his words also showed some pride: "Dear guests, please rest assured that this auction will not disappoint you. If you are interested, don't miss it."
Ye Shu said continuously: "Thank you very much, shopkeeper, for your kindness. I won't miss it."
Then he left, and Yan Changlan stood beside Ye Shu, looking protective.
After the two people left, the shopkeeper's expression dimmed.
A waiter next to him asked: "Shopkeeper, why do you want to give them invitations? Look at their virtues, how can they be worthy of having the shopkeeper explain it to them!"
The shopkeeper snorted: "What do you know? Those two people dared to come here alone and spend more than two hundred spiritual coins to buy Baihua Nectar. There must be a huge demand for Baihua Nectar. Only people like this are willing to spend a lot of money. Go buy that bee."
The waiter relied on his father's friendship with the shopkeeper and said unconvinced: "Are you afraid that no one will buy the bees that can brew nectar?"
The shopkeeper rolled his eyes at him: "Do you think everything will be fine if you buy the bees? The queen bee and queen bee were both unruly and unruly. They captured them and took them away from Baihualing. They were already very restless. When someone bought them and took them back, if they were one It's unpleasant, and it will inevitably have backlash. This is not a secret. Some big families have known it for a long time, but they have their own flower gardens, and there is a chance that the queen bee and queen can settle in smoothly. But because each other knows it well, These cunning guys will definitely not raise the price. If they are the only ones present, they will have to sell the bees at a low price, which is not cost-effective. Therefore, if you encounter someone who can buy something with a few hundred spirit coins, you should persuade them to go As we go around the auction, we need to tell them more about the benefits of bees. Only if they want bees and compete for them can the price go up, right? Only these people don’t know that bees are difficult to raise, or they don’t know much and still take chances. Only those who are in urgent need of honey can ask for high prices."
Only then did the guy understand.
The shopkeeper smiled: "It's only one post, so of course you don't need to be stingy."
The waiter immediately complimented: "The shopkeeper is still knowledgeable and ambitious, but the juniors are far inferior."
Besides, Ye Shu and Yan Changlan walked out of the business and returned to the inn together.
Yan Changlan said: "Ah Zhuo, do you really want to take pictures of some bees and bring them back?"
Ye Shu nodded: "Baihualing used to only sell honey, never bee seeds. Now it's rare to be willing to take action, so I can't let it go."
Yan Changlan muttered: "The shopkeeper may have a plan in mind when he persuades me like this."
Ye Shu said calmly: "On the left and right, the bees are easy to kill each other, or the queen bee bites the master."
Yan Changlan was shocked: "Then-"
Ye Shu said: "The reason why I bite the master is because I don't have anything to make them excited. I have it in my hand, so there is no hindrance."
Hearing what Ye Shu said, Yan Changlan felt a little relieved.
Ye Shu continued: "The one I care about now is Tai Sui."
Yan Changlan was stunned: "Taisui is of use to you, A-Zhuo?"
Ye Shu shook his head: "That's not the case."
Tai Sui has many uses such as prolonging life and longevity, but some of them are similar to Chaos Water, but may not be as good as Chaos Water. For ordinary people, this thing is of great use, but for Ye Shu, it is useless. .
Yan Changlan asked: "Why is that?"
Ye Shu said: "Taisui is eaten by bees, which may leave the evil spirit of Sui."
Yan Changlan hesitated: "Sui Sha?"
Ye Shu nodded: "When I am about to become wise, there are no bones left, how can I not be resentful? The resentment of Tai Sui for thousands of years is Sui Sha." He thought for a while, "Before the auction, you and I can go to Tai Sui. Along the line where it was eaten, Sui Sha is an invisible thing. After birth, it will be attached to the surrounding things. If it is not removed, it will be difficult to detect. "
Yan Changlan was a little worried: "Tai Sui has been eaten for a long time. If that Sui Sha is no longer around..."
Ye Shu said: "A Tai Sui can only give birth to many Sui Sha. If it is taken away by someone, it can only be said that it has no chance of being with me. But no matter what, I have to take a look to feel at ease."
Yan Changlan was relieved: "Then go and have a look as soon as possible."
The two took a short rest, and after noon, they changed their appearance and went to Baihualing together.
Except for the previous unrest, Baihualing was guarded by monks at other times. It is not that Baihualing is generous enough to let those who come to harvest the honey, but that the queen bee is extremely strict with strangers and will never allow them to approach. Naturally, no one within three feet of the hive can harvest honey on their own. The Lord's Mansion of Baihua City has its own method of collecting honey for many years, and only the honey they collect is the most mellow. Most of the honey collected by other honey sellers in Baihua City comes from villages and towns. Bees occasionally go to those places, but those places are only on the edge of Baihua Ridge. The people living there have been in Baihua Ridge all year round, and their breath and Baihualing is very similar, so you can pick some honey of ordinary quality.
When the two arrived at Baihua Ridge, they only saw patrolling guards in front of the ridge. When they saw them walking into the ridge, the guards only gave them a firework and reminded them: "If you encounter a bee, remember to set it off." Fireworks, I'll go and rescue you later."
Ye Shu and Yan Changlan took the fireworks, thanked them and entered the mountains.
There are many people who come to Baihualing to see flowers, bees, and look for Tai Sui. Ye Shu and Yan Changlan are not the only ones. After they enter the mountain, they follow some monks and successfully arrive at the place where it is said that the bees are rioting and Tai Sui falls. .
Just as Yan Changlan was worried, after the two walked around there, they saw nothing - even the corpse of the bee that fell on the ground had been taken away early, not to mention the remains of Tai Sui as some people thought, or perhaps The Sui Sha they were looking for was gone.
Ye Shu said: "Sure enough, there is no chance."
Yan Changlan stayed here with Ye Shu for a while: "Sui Sha is not here, so he must have been acquired by others. After the auction, you and I will go and ask if there is a bartering place. Go and have a look, and I hope we can meet again." superior."
Ye Shu nodded: "That's all."
The two of them admired the flowers here for a while, then went to look at the territory divided by each queen bee, and did not stay in the ridge.
·
One day later, the auction began.
The auction is located in a low building near the trading house. A long time ago, when the bees occasionally produced honey, they also did special auctions of honey. It is considered the only auction house in Baihua City.
There were a lot of people coming today, many of them with invitations. The people receiving them in front of the auction house were young monks on the first and second levels of Qi Refining, ordinary monks on the fourth and fifth levels of Qi Refining, and those on the seventh and eighth levels of Qi Refining. A decent monk.
The minor monks receive ordinary invitations, but the other two types of monks receive different invitations.
Ye Shu looked around and came directly to a monk on the seventh level of Qi Refining and asked: "Brother Taoist, if I want to change the invitation, is it here?"
The monk on the seventh level of Qi Refining saw this and said readily: "This is where you want a private room? If so, just take ten spirit coins. If you want a good view, add two more spirit coins. "
Ye Shu now also had some spirit coins in his hand, so he deliberately showed a hint of pain as he took out the spirit coins and handed them over.
Sure enough, the next moment the monk gave him another invitation. It was heavily gilded and very different: "Here, take it."
Ye Shu took the invitation, and together with Yan Changlan, they passed the monk and entered the auction house from the passage on one side.
At the dark cave entrance, a graceful female cultivator had been waiting. After bringing the two people over, she led them around and successfully reached a sealed private room on the second floor of the auction house.
The graceful female cultivator smiled sweetly: "Do you want someone to serve you two distinguished guests?"
Ye Shu said: "Just bring some refreshments."
The graceful female cultivator responded and went immediately. In the blink of an eye, all the tea, snacks and other things were delivered to her, and then she gathered her clothes and left.
Ye Shu and Yan Changlan slowly relaxed and sat back on the large chairs.
Yan Changlan said: "This auction is really thoughtful."
Ye Shu said: "I will be more cautious when bidding in the future and change my voice."
Yan Changlan nodded: "I understand."
The private room is on the second floor, and their spirit coins are in place, so the view is really good.
Although it is not as good as the one in the middle, it is still leaning to the side. When you look down, the auction table comes into view and you can see it clearly.
Slightly lower, there are several rows of seats. There is a small table in front of the seats, and refreshments are placed on it. And below are many ordinary seats. If you come early, you can sit down, but if you come late, you can only stand.
There is almost no place to stand near the ordinary seats, and there are heads everywhere.
Yan Changlan was still frightened: "If it's down there, I'm afraid I won't be safe."
Ye Shu agreed: "You have to be careful at all times down there. Even the storage bag will be taken away if you are not prepared. And if the bidding is too fierce, it is not impossible for each other to start a fight. Although most auctions There are rules in everything, but this auction was held in a hurry and may not cover everything. In addition, once the people below buy something good, they will be easily discovered by the people around them, and they will be watched once the auction is over. It’s not easy to hide traces.”
Indeed, even if you are in a private room, it is inevitable, and although the private room will be noticed by others, it is on the second floor after all, and the private rooms are not close to each other. If they move quickly, they will have to avoid them. It’s difficult.
The two exchanged a few words, and it was time for the auction to begin.
A beautiful woman with a slender waist and light steps quickly appeared on the auction stage. She held a small hammer and lightly smashed it on the table. Suddenly, a very crisp sound suddenly spread throughout the auction house.
Everyone is silent.
The woman smiled softly: "You distinguished guests have come from afar, Baihua City welcomes you." She paused for a moment and said, "This auction is hosted by the City Lord's Mansion, and the items in it include thousands of items. I hope you will return with satisfaction."
Having said this, she gestured slightly to the side.
A young girl walked over gracefully holding a jade gourd in her hand and placed it on the table beside the woman.
The woman smiled and said, "One pound of Baihua Bee Royal Jelly can completely remove erysipelas. It is useful for both Qi Refining and Foundation Building monks. The starting price is three hundred spirit coins."
As soon as she finished speaking, the bidding sounds below started one after another, one louder than the next.
Yan Changlan was a little surprised when he saw people bidding like this: "Royal jelly can also be bought in commercial shops. Now the bidding at the auction will inevitably be higher. Why do they still do this..."
Ye Shu said softly: "You and I have more than two thousand spiritual coins in our hands, but I only bought ten bottles of royal jelly. Why do you think so?"
Yan Changlan was startled.
Ye Shu said: "Among those merchants, I'm afraid they will only sell me ten tubes of royal jelly at most."
Yan Changlan suddenly understood: "The stock of royal jelly is limited, and the merchants are unwilling to sell it at will. Most of it will be put at auction to earn more spiritual coins?"
Ye Shu nodded: "Exactly." He looked at the eagerness of the people below and said slowly, "There are about fifty pieces of royal jelly per pound. If sold outside, it would only be five hundred spirit coins. Now the base price alone is There are three hundred, and after bidding, I can finally get at least eight hundred spirit coins."
And so it turned out.
"Four hundred!"
"five hundred!"
"Five hundred and three!"
"Six hundred!"
"seven……"
The final transaction price was exactly 820 spirit coins, which was a full 320 more than that sold separately!
In this case, they are naturally more willing to use it for auction...
Soon, the royal jelly was taken away by a Foundation Establishment Master in the private room.
Then the graceful woman took out another gourd of royal jelly, this time weighing one pound, and sold for a high price of 850 pieces. After that, there was the third auction of royal jelly. One pound of royal jelly sold for a high price of 864 pieces.
After three times, what appeared next was no longer royal jelly.
Generally speaking, the first item in an auction is used to heat up the atmosphere. Now that the atmosphere is up, the next item will not be as good as the first one.
So the second auction item was a pack of spirit flower seeds, and the base price was only five spirit coins.
There are hundreds of kinds of spiritual flower seeds in a pack, but the seeds are far less expensive than the adult plants, and this pack of seeds are all produced by second-grade spiritual flowers. Even a hundred-year-old spiritual flower can only be obtained for a few hundred silver coins, not to mention just a mere seed. ? If there were not hundreds of different kinds, there would be no need to bid with spirit coins.
No one was interested in these seeds. It was just that some monks thought it would be more convenient to buy them all at once, and they would have to bid for the bees later, so there were more than a dozen bids.
Ye Shu was quite interested in the seeds, and he immediately bid the price: "Six."
Then he called seven or eight, and finally used ten spirit coins to take down all the packets of hundred flower seeds.
When the graceful woman saw that the spirit flower seeds were auctioned for ten spirit coins, the smile on her face deepened, and she quickly asked someone to deliver the auction items.
Ye Shu took the flowers seeds, gave them the spirit coins, and then looked at the third and fourth auction items.
After that, more than ten pieces of spiritual flowers and spiritual fruits were auctioned in succession, all of which came from Baihua Ridge. The years when the spiritual flowers were matured were more than 300 years old. However, to Ye Shu, these adult plants were of little use, so they did not bid together.
But the adult plant is more valuable than the seeds to other monks, and the cries of cries are endless, but there is no single clap.
After the flowers and fruits, it’s finally the bee’s turn.
The graceful woman had a beautiful smile on her face. She held up a plate with both hands. On the plate, there were hundreds of bee eggs as big as rice grains. The surface was shiny and moist, with a little white light, and they looked like pearls. Generally beautiful.
"These are one hundred and twenty mutated bee eggs, but how and where they mutate is unknown." The graceful woman's red lips gently touched the edge of the plate, and her tone was soft, "The starting price is ten spiritual coins."
The value of bee eggs was originally similar to that of spirit flower seeds. After all, spirit flower seeds might not be planted and bee eggs might die prematurely. But now that bee eggs have mutated, their value is naturally different. It's just that after mutation, the bee eggs will be either extremely strong, extremely weak, or ordinary. It's hard to guess, so the price won't be too high.
When Ye Shu saw the bee egg, before he decided whether to take a photo, the little scorpion became restless before he put a bun on his head.
The performance of the vicious-faced spider scorpion made Ye Shu's heart move slightly.
If the bee egg had mediocre qualifications, it would not attract the little scorpion like this...
Ye Shu immediately made a decision and directly called out the price: "Twenty spiritual coins!"
Those below who were interested in taking pictures of mutated bee eggs were just doing it for a try or for fun, but when they saw someone spending twenty spirit coins, they all gave up.
Therefore, after Ye Shu bid once, he got the bee eggs in hand.
After the bee eggs were delivered, the little scorpion quickly climbed down from Ye Shu's head and actually rushed to the plate and swallowed one of the bee eggs.
Ye Shu was startled and immediately took the plate away.
Yan Changlan was also surprised: "The fierce face was so restless just now because... it wanted to eat?"
Ye Shu's eyes darkened slightly: "I'm afraid this mutated wasp egg is unusual. If it grows up, it may pose a threat to the evil face. Then it will become restless and want to eat it before it hatches. After eating, Afterwards, it may be beneficial to the evil side..."
That's what he said, but even though Ye Shu guessed that the bee eggs were good, he put the plate in front of the fierce face again and let it eat.
However, as Ye Shu expected, the vicious-faced spider scorpion lay on its side and fell asleep as if drunk from wine after eating more than ten bee eggs in a row.
Ye Shu collected the remaining bee eggs.
Yan Changlan was a little curious: "Ah Zhuo, these bee eggs...will they be fed to Xiomian in the future?"
Ye Shu shook his head: "That's not the case." He looked at the vicious-faced spider scorpion, "I will hatch the remaining ones."
