Shen Hao was very relaxed. He was not planning to buy anything, he was just watching the excitement. When Chen Tianwen was studying the auction items, he looked around and discovered some interesting things.
For example, most of the people sitting in the hall are casual cultivators, and the people in the surrounding boxes are all people from aristocratic families.
It's not that casual cultivators are poor and can't afford the one thousand tael fee for a private room, but there is an obvious difference in consumption philosophy. On the one hand, you spend money where you should and don't spend it when it's not necessary. On the other hand, you may have a lot of money at home and don't care about spending money, or you may be trying to show off your money by pretending to be fat.
On the other hand, aristocratic families are indeed generally wealthier than casual cultivators. After all, there are fewer aristocratic families participating in the auction than casual cultivators. It should be that many aristocratic families look down on such auctions organized by merchants, knowing that there will be no good results. thing.
Moreover, aristocratic families and casual cultivators seemed to be in natural opposition. It was almost impossible to see people from casual cultivators and aristocratic families communicating with each other, ignoring each other.
Not long after, a strong man wearing a bright red gown walked into the middle of the store and spoke loudly.
"It's about to begin."
The first three items are all low-grade magic weapons, and they were brought here mainly because they belong to the rare category. For example: short knife. This thing belongs to the rare weapon type. Generally, few monks can use it, and the output is also small.
Chen Tianwen held up a sign when the bidding for the dagger began. It went very smoothly. There were not many people present who needed the dagger weapon, and it was only low-grade, so Chen Tianwen easily took it.
Fierce bidding occurred when the mid-grade soft armor appeared. It is estimated that many people here came here for this thing.
Soft armor is a rare magic weapon, and middle-grade ones are even rarer. They are usually kept for personal use and rarely sold. So the price quickly reached a level that was out of Chen Tianwen's reach.
They didn't need any money and just paid for the spiritual stones, fifty low-grade spiritual stones.
Spiritual stones can be exchanged for silver. Generally speaking, one low-grade spiritual stone can be exchanged for ten thousand taels of silver, but Shen Hao has never seen anyone exchange spiritual stones for money.
Of course, sometimes spiritual stones can also be replaced by the analogy of elixirs.
So as soon as the spirit stone came out, Chen Tianwen stopped working without even mentioning that he wanted to borrow money from Shen Hao. Without spiritual stones, no matter how much money you have, it will be useless.
After touching his nose, Shen Hao realized that he was among the poorest in the auction house. Because his family doesn't even have a spiritual stone.
In the end, this medium-grade soft armor was auctioned off by a member of a noble family in a box, and the bidding price was sixty-five low-grade spiritual stones.
And after the auction of this medium-grade soft armor ended, people in the auction room began to leave one after another, most of them were people in the box. Once again, it reflects that the aristocratic families do have a deeper foundation than the casual cultivators, and they do not need many low-end resources. Casual cultivators may have money, but their resources cannot match the accumulation of aristocratic families, so most of the people present are casual cultivators and people from small aristocratic families.
Shen Hao originally wanted to leave, but he had gained some knowledge anyway, so why keep it if he didn't buy anything? But Chen Tianwen asked him to take a look again. He had to go to work anyway, so wouldn't it be better to take a look at the excitement?
It turns out that Mr. Chen Qi regarded this mission as a vacation?
After smiling, Shen Hao felt that Chen Tianwen's rare lazy behavior seemed familiar, so he stopped thinking about leaving and leaned back in his chair to continue watching the show and auction.
After the medium-grade soft armor, there are more than ten items on auction, most of which are medium-grade and one is a high-grade magic weapon. It's just that there hasn't been the hot bidding scene like before for soft armor.
"Underneath is a piece of Kuaiyin jade, about the size of a palm. The upper layer is crystal clear. It is absolutely a good piece of equipment. The starting price is 20,000 silver coins!"
Yin jade is a kind of weapon refining material, which is very unpopular. It is mainly used to refine the sky cracking formation.
The value of a Sky-Splitting Formation Disk is equivalent to that of a high-grade magic weapon, but the materials are not that expensive. It is priced below mid-grade, and it is not popular, so there are not many bidders.
"It's a good thing, but it's a pity that it's of no use." Chen Tianwen muttered a little more about the market. He found that Shen Hao beside him didn't seem to be responding. When he turned around, he saw that the other person was actually bulging his eyes as if he had seen the treasure. .
Chen Tianwen quickly advised: "What are you doing? You don't want to buy this thing, do you? Let me tell you first, the guys in the arsenal in our guardhouse don't have the ability to refine the Sky Splitting Formation, and they can't refine even a piece of Yin Jade. Come out, other materials are hard to find and not cheap.”
However, Shen Hao directly held up the sign without saying a word. For one example, the price will be increased by two thousand taels.
"Hey, do you really want to buy it?" Chen Tianwen was curious, but he didn't try to persuade him. He just felt that something was wrong with Shen Hao next to him. It was the first time he saw the other person showing such an eager expression.
The bidding continued. Although there were not many people participating, they had no intention of giving up easily, and the price was slowly pushed to more than 50,000 taels.
When it exceeds 80,000, no one will continue to compete with Shen Hao. After all, this thing is just a kind of material. If you want to realize it, you have to continue to spend money. It is not cost-effective if it is too expensive. Eighty thousand is already somewhat beyond the actual value of this piece of Yin Jade.
"Do you know it's expensive?"
"Well, it doesn't matter." Shen Hao's eyes were a little red, and he seemed very excited and eager.
After paying the silver check and getting the piece of Yin Jade, Shen Hao stood up and left. Chen Tianwen beside him was confused. He didn't understand what happened to Shen Hao. Isn't it just a piece of weapon refining material? As for being so impatient?
...
Shen Hao walked in a hurry, all the way back to the station outside the city, entered his tent and ordered not to disturb anyone outside.
"pain!"
Shen Hao quickly sat down cross-legged. He now felt an unstoppable sting in his eyes. When he rubbed them with his hands, there was still blood, as if a needle was stabbing his eyes from the inside out.
No need to guess, Shen Hao knew that this must be caused by the black beast tattoo on his chest. Because he clearly felt a surge of energy pouring out of the acupuncture points in his chest and going straight to his face.
It took a while for the pain in my eyes to subside.
Shen Hao breathed a long sigh of relief and took out the palm-sized Yin Jade from his arms. He didn't want to buy this thing, he just couldn't help himself.
Just like when he encountered "food" before, when Shen Hao saw this piece of Yin Jade at the auction house, the familiar experience from the black beast tattoo came again. But this time it was not for eating, but for instinctively wanting to get the piece of Yin Jade.
What to use it for? Why take it? Shen Hao didn't know anything. After he got the things, his urgent instinctive desire began to subside, but his eyes began to hurt sharply again. In order not to be noticed by Chen Tianwen beside him, he could only quickly return to the camp.
Now that his eyes no longer hurt, Shen Hao was surprised to find that there was an article on the Yin Jade in his hand. In other words, he could now see things on the Yin Jade that he could not see before.
It was a picture, like a map, but incomplete. There is a line marked with a red line on it, which is also incomplete.
"This is...a maze map?"
