Jihua Hall.
"Listening to what you said, it's really lucky to be able to escape from the beast tide." Shopkeeper Li was shocked when he told him about the experiences of several people.
"Luckily, if it were a step later, it would be hard for the three of us to say anything." Liangchen said.
"You said the alchemist has left?" Shopkeeper Li asked.
"Yes, he made the elixir, paid my reward, and left. He must be anxious to go back and attack the blue level." Liangchen replied.
"Isn't there any news about Brother Wang yet?" He seemed to have remembered something and asked casually.
"There's been no news. It's probably a bad time." Shopkeeper Li sighed.
"By the way, I was lucky enough to get some sea beast inner elixirs this time. What's the price?" Liangchen handed over a bag of demon elixirs.
Shopkeeper Li reached out to take it, and after some inspection, his face was filled with shock!
Most of the dozen or so sea beast inner elixirs are sixth-level sea beast inner elixirs.
Because the inner elixir of sea beasts is difficult to hunt and is more dangerous to go to sea, the price is higher than that of monsters of the same level.
He was shocked to see him take out so many sea beast inner elixirs at one time.
"Could he easily kill a sixth-level sea beast? Impossible! He must have gotten it by fishing in troubled waters during the beast tide." He hid his shock and muttered in his heart.
Little did he know that Liangchen only took out a quarter of the demon pills for fear of arousing suspicion. If he took out all the dozens of demon pills, he wouldn't be frightened.
"It's less than 500,000, I'll give you 500,000." Shopkeeper Li calculated it.
"Thank you, shopkeeper Li." Liangchen thanked him after hearing him say this.
After getting the beast gold, the two chatted for a while before he got up and left.
. . .
Refining weapons day and night, time flew by, and on the ninth day, I finally received a message from Shopkeeper Ji.
"Go to Fuyun Tower tomorrow at three o'clock."
He tidied himself up and left.
The next day, I got up early, practiced some more, and went straight to Fuyun Tower.
Entering the room on the second floor, I saw two strangers already sitting there, an old man in blue robe and a woman in black, talking and laughing with shopkeeper Ji.
"Here we come, Brother Ye." Seeing him come in, Shopkeeper Ji said with a smile on his face,
"Sit down quickly, let me introduce you to you. This is my old friend, Ye Liangchen."
"Of these two, one is my old friend Yue Shanming, you can just call him Old Yue. This is Miss Fang who was introduced by my friend."
"Hello, Brother Yue, hello, Miss Fang." Liangchen listened to his introduction and nodded in greeting.
"So you are the Ye Xiaoyou that Lao Ji often said, yes, yes, come and sit." The old man in blue robe listened to his introduction and nodded with a smile.
When the woman in black saw him greeting him, she nodded slightly.
"Let's have some tea first. Two friends will arrive soon. The auction won't start until now, so it's still early." Shopkeeper Ji said.
"By the way, I heard from Lao Ji that you were at the end of the mountain due to the beast tide disaster a few days ago?" Old Man Yue asked with some interest.
"Well, that's right. I was unlucky. The first time I went there, I encountered a once-in-a-hundred-year beast tide, and I almost lost my life there." Liangchen laughed at himself.
"I heard that there is an eighth-level monster, do you know whether it is true or not?" Old Man Yue asked.
"I'm not sure. I only saw a humanoid old man and a dozen half-human, half-demon sea beasts. I can't tell the specific realm." Liangchen replied after recalling the last situation.
"That is indeed an eighth-order monster. A seventh-order monster can only transform half of its body. It must be an eighth-order monster to fully transform. The old man you mentioned should be an eighth-order monster." Old Man Yue said.
After a few people chatted and drank two cups of tea, the other two people had already arrived, and the group of five went out.
The place for this big auction is in another of the four towers in Huocan City, the Shaking Platform.
It took a while to arrive at the place, and I saw that the outside of the Luo Yao Tower was similar to the Candle Tower and the Yixing Tower, but the inside had its own characteristics.
The hall on the first floor is splendid, surrounded by nine white jade pillars, with nine birds and animals carved on them. On the walls, gold foil is used as cloth, silver thread is used as thread, and gemstones are used as stars. Dragons and phoenixes dance to draw a picture of thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, which combines the Sun Kingdom. The great rivers and mountains are all painted in it.
"It's really magnificent!" Liangchen looked around with surprise on his face!
Liangchen was looking around when two young and capable men in Tsing Yi approached him.
"Do any of you have tokens?"
Upon hearing this, Shopkeeper Ji took out a Sifang Token and handed it over. The token was azure in color and square in shape, with Sifang Merchant Alliance written on one side and the word "Floating Cloud" engraved on the other side.
"It turns out to be the shopkeeper of Fuyun Tower, please come upstairs!" The man in Tsing Yi said with a smile when he saw the token.
"These are the friends I invited to participate in the auction. Give them an identity token." Shopkeeper Ji said again.
"Okay." As he said this, the man in green took out a few blue tokens, the colors were slightly different, with the Sifang Merchant Alliance engraved on one side and a number written on the other side.
"Bing Wujiu" Liangchen took his token, looked through it, and put it away.
"Put the token away and use it for bidding at the auction later." Shopkeeper Ji turned around and told him.
A few people walked up the stairs and just reached the second floor when they heard a cheerful voice,
"Shopkeeper Ji, long time no see!"
"Hey! Isn't this Shopkeeper Meng? You've come all the way from Hongyun City!" Shopkeeper Ji greeted a chubby middle-aged man with a dark complexion.
"Bring two friends here to sell some things and see if there are any treasures you like." The chubby shopkeeper Meng pointed to the two people next to him and replied.
"It's all the same, I'll take them there first!" Shopkeeper Ji greeted and walked inside.
The space on the second floor is similar to that on the first floor, and the decoration is similar, except that the pictures of thousands of miles of scenery on the wall are replaced by pictures of thousands of beasts of Zhiyang. There are nearly a thousand kinds of monsters from Zhiyang Kingdom, which makes Liangchen dizzy.
There is a high platform in front of the hall, with a long white jade case placed on it. A room is separated by a screen next to the high platform. There are many white jade chairs densely placed in the hall, divided into many pieces by screens. Each screen has a word written on it. A, B, C and D are different.
"You guys should look for the location according to the numbers on your tokens. I still have some things to do, so I can't accompany you." After speaking, Shopkeeper Ji walked towards the back of the screen.
"Brother Ji, you are busy."
"Go and get busy."
When several people saw him leaving, they looked around and finally found their location.
When Liangchen sat down and looked around, there were already four to five hundred people sitting in the hall.
"This is indeed a big auction. If it is full, there will probably be one or two thousand people."
"Looking at this scene, there should be a high chance that the best elixir will appear. With so many people, the competition will definitely be fierce!"
"I just hope I don't practice too much." He thought secretly in his heart. Fortunately, he was rich now, otherwise he would be even more worried.
People were coming and going in the hall, and people kept coming up the stairs looking for places to sit down. Within half an hour, the hall was mostly full.
After another stick of incense, the number of people coming up gradually became less and less.
A sturdy old man walked out from behind the screen on the stage, and walked to the white jade case on the high stage with a glowing face.
He took out a small copper bell and shook it gently, "ding bell bell——" there was a crisp sound!
The discussion suddenly stopped, and the hall became quiet instantly. The old man was very satisfied when he saw this, and shouted loudly:
"Dear friends, the Huozhu City Sifang Merchant Alliance Auction has officially begun!"
