After hearing this, Ning Tao handed the golden invitation in his hand to the monk guarding the door. The monk took the invitation, swept it with his spiritual thoughts, changed his attitude, and said very enthusiastically: "Four fellow Taoists, after entering, someone will guide you into the VIP room. ,please."
As he spoke, he first handed Ning Tao a sign made of unknown metal with the words "Golden Thirty" engraved on it, and then made a gesture to invite a few people to enter.
When I was about to enter, I seemed to hear a doubtful question coming from the crowd at the long queue.
"Grandpa, why don't they have to line up?"
"Because they have invitations in their hands, but we don't have them, so we can only wait in line."
"Oh, okay, then when can we get the invitations?"
After hearing the question, the old man touched his grandson's little head and said lovingly.
"Just wait until your cultivation level surpasses that of grandpa!"
...
When Ning Tao and the four of them entered the passage, a maid came up to them, took the sign from Ning Tao's hand, said a blessing, and led the four of them forward. They first passed through a downward passage and then turned around a stone wall corridor. , and came to a room.
The maid led several people to an elegantly decorated room and sat down. There were several seats arranged around a table, with small tables separating the seats.
There is a small jade-shaped plate on each small table, shining with a faint light.
The maid first introduced the layout of the room to several people and told them how to use the jade plates. Each jade plate has its own number, corresponding to the corresponding seat.
In addition to the function of bidding in the auction, the jade plate can also view a light curtain called Duobaolu, which contains various treasures that cannot be put into the big auction.
Many people come here not for the treasures in the big auction, but for these things.
After the introduction, the maid came to the curtain and opened it. As the curtain opened, a huge underground hall with a fan shape and an area of dozens of acres was revealed below.
The hall is tens of meters high, with a slightly higher platform at the end. Tens of thousands of stone seats are arranged in circles around the central platform.
As Ning Tao and others looked around, many people were already seated in the hall, and it was very lively.
The maid who opened the curtain stood up and left. After a while, she came back, poured tea for a few people, and told them to wait outside the room. If anything happened, they could ring the small bell in the corner.
After saying that, he stood up and left.
...
"Junior brother, I didn't expect that you have a wide range of friends, and you can also get this golden certificate? Although we can also come together with the Jindan elders in the sect, but we are not comfortable."
"Some time ago, I was shopping for something, and it was given to me by a young master of the Tianxing Alliance family."
"Oh, it seems I want to make friends with you!"
Ning Tao smiled silently when he heard this and did not make any rebuttal.
...
Ning Tao poured mana into the small jade plate next to him. As the mana was poured into the small jade plate, the brilliance appeared, and a beam of light was shot in the direction in front of Ning Tao, and a light screen like a projection appeared in front of his eyes.
Manipulating the jade plate to pull up the light curtain in front of them, looking at these relatively ordinary objects, a few people chatted about each other, waiting for the auction to officially start.
At this time, Ning Tao suddenly discovered that the items inside were increasing, so he asked the senior brothers and sisters next to him.
Chen Bingqing on the side explained this.
Ning Tao thought for a moment after hearing this, and then struck the small bell in the corner with a magic power in his hand. Although no sound came out, the maid guarding the door soon opened the door and came in and asked.
"What kind of orders do you have for these distinguished guests?"
Ning Tao stopped the maid and spoke.
"Girl, I have some things on hand that I want to consign. I don't know what the process is?"
The maid heard the words and replied: "If your distinguished guest wants to consign the items, we will have someone to assess the value of the Taoist friend's items to see whether we should bid the items at a big auction or hang them on this Duobaolu and bid on our own. . Moreover, the auction house is only responsible for consigning things. After the sale, one-tenth of the price of the sold items needs to be charged to the distinguished customer as a commission. If the auction fails, it will be returned to the distinguished guest intact."
Ning Tao nodded clearly after hearing this, and asked the maid to ask someone to price her things.
The maid heard the order to let everyone wait for a moment, then left. After a while, she led a white-haired old man to come here.
The old Taoist entered the room and said hello to everyone, then asked: "I don't know what treasures you fellow Taoists want to consign. You might as well take it out and let me hold it."
After hearing this, Ning Tao touched his storage bag, took out nearly a hundred magic weapons of various colors, and placed them on the table in front of the old man.
Most of these magical artifacts are top-grade magical artifacts and top-tier artifacts. The old Taoist's eyes lit up when he saw this, and he took one of the top-tier magical artifacts, looked at it for a moment, and then spoke.
"This top-level metallic flying sword contains twenty-one prohibitions. It is mainly made of fine gold, black iron and red copper. The refining technique is quite exquisite. It should be made by an experienced weapon refiner. It’s made, and it’s worth three to four thousand spirit stones.”
Ning Tao, who was relatively proficient in the art of refining weapons, nodded when he heard this and said that what the old Taoist said was true.
Seeing this, the old Taoist continued: "I wonder if this flying sword has a name."
Ning Tao shook his head when he heard this.
"If not, let's just call it the Golden Blade Sword. The initial price is two thousand spirit stones. Each increase in price must not be less than one hundred spirit stones. It will be included in the Duobaolu. How about it?"
Ning Tao clasped his fists after hearing this and said, "Okay, thank you very much, fellow Taoist."
The old Taoist who heard this put away the object and photographed a magical weapon from the air.
...
After a while, all the magic weapons that Ning Tao put up for auction were included in the Duobaolu.
Lao Dao handed over the contract signed by both parties to Ning Tao, then stood up and left.
An hour or two later, the hall below was already overcrowded, and almost all the stone seats were occupied.
As a melodious sound of the piano reached my ears, the entire hall turned from bright to dark. In an instant, the upper room was twinkling with starlight. A beautiful girl flew out from an attic on the rock wall, dressed like a painting. The fairy in the middle came to the central stage in a state of ecstasy, and danced to the sound of the piano, causing a group of people below to cheer.
After the dance ended, the beautiful girl took her leave, and heard a melodious sound of bells. A stream of light fell on the stage, revealing a middle-aged and elegant man.
A dozen head-sized moonstones above emitted soft light, illuminating the entire stage.
The middle-aged man who came to the stage said: "Well, fellow Taoists, I am Zhuge Yun, and Tian is the second shopkeeper of Duobao Tower. I see that among the Taoists here today, there are old friends and new friends."
"Everyone has come to this building despite their busy schedules to participate in this grand event of Tianxing City once every twenty years. On behalf of all my colleagues in Duobao Building, I would like to express my gratitude."
"As of now, a total of 13,677 treasures have been sold in today's auction. 312 of them will be auctioned at my place. The remaining treasures are all on Duobaolu. Everyone is free. Bid.”
"Okay, no more talking nonsense, the auction will officially begin."
After saying this, the middle-aged monk turned his hands and took out a jade table that exuded a shining light. It floated in front of the middle-aged monk out of thin air. Two shining light curtains tens of meters high appeared out of thin air, one on the left and one on the right.
Just when Ning Tao was surprised, two pieces of jade on both sides of the window in the house were also emitting gleaming light.
After a moment, two small light curtains that looked like two sides of a stage appeared in front of several people, which were the same as the light curtains in the hall.
...
The auction officially started, and Zhuge Yun took out a flying knife-shaped magic weapon, placed it on the jade table, and slowly turned it, showing the whole picture. Above the light screen, everyone could see it clearly.
"The Locust Knife is a half-step magic weapon. It contains the foundation of twenty-four ordinary restrictions and four earthly evil restrictions. It is composed of the front legs of the Shadow Locust in the golden elixir stage, combined with hundreds of refined black iron, Geng Jin crystal and other more than ten kinds of third-level It is refined from spiritual materials, with a starting price of 100,000 low-grade spiritual stones, and each increase in price must not be less than 2,000 spiritual stones."
As soon as Zhuge Yun finished speaking, someone shouted from below.
"One hundred and ten thousand."
"One hundred and twelve thousand."
"One hundred and thirty thousand."
"One hundred and forty thousand."
"Two hundred thousand"
...
After a while, the price of this locust sword increased to 300,000 low-grade spiritual stones, and only a few monks were still bidding.
"Three hundred and one thousand."
"Three hundred and twenty thousand."
"Three hundred and twenty-two thousand."
"Three hundred and thirty thousand."
...
In the end, only two people were still bidding. After a while, the price reached 330,000 spirit stones, and there was no more bidding on the field.
At this time, the middle-aged monk said: "Okay, this Taoist friend bids 330,000 spiritual stones. I wonder if there are any other Taoist friends who bid?"
After waiting for a few seconds and seeing no one bid, he picked up a small hammer and shouted: "One time for three hundred and thirty thousand..., two times for three hundred and thirty thousand..., three times for three hundred and thirty thousand, the deal is done." "
As the words of the transaction fell, the small hammer in his hand fell on a small clock hanging in the lower right corner of the jade case, and a clear bell sounded, indicating that the transaction was successful.
"Congratulations to this fellow Taoist for receiving the Locust Knife. Someone will lead the fellow Taoist to trade the treasure in a moment."
After the middle-aged monk said this, a maid came up, took the knife from the middle-aged monk's hand, and stepped off the stage.
"Okay, let's proceed to the auction of the next treasure."
After saying that, he turned over his hand and took out a small hammer with a hint of thunder, and placed it on the case.
"This object is called the Thunder Hammer. It is based on the twenty-four ordinary prohibitions, contains the prototype of six earth evil spirits, and is a half-step magic weapon made from hundreds of refined gold, astral silver, emery, and thunder stone. After cultivating the natal magic weapon of the foundation-building Taoist friends, after advanced level, you can save more than ten years of hard work."
"I won't talk nonsense. Everyone knows how precious this object is. The starting price is 300,000 low-grade spiritual stones. Each increase in price must not be less than 10,000 spiritual stones. The bidding begins."
As he spoke, he picked up a small hammer and struck it. Before the bell fell, the sound of bidding came from below.
"Three hundred and sixty thousand spiritual stones."
But as soon as he finished speaking, a line of golden text appeared on the light screen, Room 19: Five hundred thousand low-grade spiritual stones.
...
