Jiang Chen returned to the cave and took a look at the ferret in the spirit beast room. Ever since he came back from the Wuding Mountains a few days ago, the ferret had always looked listless. Even the two dream grasses that Jiang Chen threw to it were... There is still half of it left, and I don’t know what has happened to it, but he can even resist eating his favorite dream grass.
Jiang Chen had some guesses, but he didn't dare to confirm whether it had really reached the level of a monster. Now that the ferret had begun to sleep again, he couldn't check what changes had happened to the ferret's body. A ban was placed in the beast room, and Jiang Chen went to meditate and rest his mind.
Two days passed in the blink of an eye, and in the blink of an eye came the biggest event in Sang City, the triennial auction. Regardless of the strength or the value of the auction items, the auction was held in the auction hall designated by the city lord's palace. , when the time comes, warriors from the Body Refining Realm to the Xiantian Realm can bid on the same stage, but generally if the Xiantian Realm monks are interested in something, what strength can they have to bid on it if they are in the Physical Refining Realm?
During this period, although the city lord's palace and Dashang's army were arresting warriors who originally belonged to the Ji Kingdom, the places they were looking for were only some easy hiding places in the city. They only casually checked and inquired about markets, inns, etc. Naturally, The effect is not great, and it basically has no big impact on the auction to be held.
Early that morning, Jiang Chen tidied up a little and put all the items in the cave into storage bags. He even changed his clothes into low-key ordinary clothes. He did not send a message to Lu Yuan. He just left Zhike Villa alone and went straight to the auction hall.
Along the way, there seemed to be a lot of warriors going to participate in the auction. He deliberately restrained his aura to avoid attracting too much attention and avoid unnecessary trouble. After all, his physical body is now full of energy and blood, and has been nourished by so many elixirs. , the aura revealed by the physical body is much stronger than that of warriors of the same realm.
It was exactly as he had expected. The closer he got to the auction site, the more warriors whose cultivation he could not detect appeared. Of course, the majority of them were in the body refining realm, but there were also many people with powerful auras, and some were deliberately exposed. Aura, for fear that others would not know that he was a warrior in the Qi and Blood realm.
In this conference, warriors with some wealth were not willing to miss this big auction, and the auction hall was filled with people for a while.
Jiang Chen passed through a restriction and immediately found that the entire hall was already filled with many people. In the middle was a high platform floating in the air, and at the bottom was a huge ring-shaped seating platform. Looking up, there were two more floors protruding. There were ring-shaped seats like the bottom, but they were divided into small rooms. Jiang Chen only took a look and knew that these must be VIP seats prepared for powerful or wealthy people.
When he was about to sit down, a waitress with a more beautiful face walked up to him and said, "Dear guest, please show me your invitation."
Jiang Chen suddenly remembered the small wooden order that Li Qingyuan handed him when he was shopping at Fushi Baolou, and then took it out and handed it to the waitress in front of him.
The waitress took the token and just glanced at it. She briefly fiddled with the token and then made a gesture of invitation and said, "Your distinguished guest, please sit down here."
Seeing the waitress preparing to take him to the bottom to sit down, Jiang Chen glanced at the circle of small rooms on the second floor and asked doubtfully: "Can I sit on the upper two floors?"
Hearing Jiang Chen's question, the waitress stopped and patiently explained to Jiang Chen: "What the distinguished guests don't know, the upper two floors are all distinguished guests who need silver tokens and gold tokens to be seated. Anyone who takes a People with wooden invitations can only sit on the first floor."
Jiang Chen took his wooden token and looked at the words West 81 appearing on it. He thought it should be his location. After scanning his approximate location, Jiang Chen looked embarrassed and continued to ask: "Can you arrange a place on the second floor for me?"
When the waitress heard Jiang Chen's words, she still kept a smile on her face, as if she had heard similar words many times before, and replied: "According to the rules set by the City Lord's Mansion, any guest who exchanges a wooden order for a silver one needs to First pay a deposit of three thousand spirit stones and a service fee of two hundred spirit stones. However, the customer does not have to worry. If the customer takes a photo of a satisfactory treasure, the deposit of three thousand dollars can be directly deducted from it. After the auction is over, Our store will also refund the remaining money to the customer. Even if the customer does not get a satisfactory product, the store will return the deposit after the auction."
The deposit of three thousand spirit stones is nothing to Jiang Chen, but the service fee of two hundred spirit stones is not a high price for Jiang Chen, but this move is enough to make him admire the City Lord's Mansion again. For the dozens of rooms on the second floor, it is estimated that the City Lord's Mansion and the three major families will make a lot of money from this auction.
"For a service fee of two hundred spirit stones, you guys really know how to make a lot of spirit stones." Jiang Chen couldn't help but complain.
"For your knowledge, this time there are many more warriors participating in the auction than in previous years. There are more people who have reserved private rooms upstairs. In order to control the number of people occupying the upstairs, we have to use this method to control the number of people on the second and third floors. ." The waiter said with a smile.
He paid the relevant fees with the waiter, and finally exchanged it for a small silver order. He went up to a room on the second floor near the west. From the room, he could clearly see the auctions floating downstairs and in the middle. Not only that, every room has some kind of restriction to isolate it from the exploration of spiritual consciousness. In terms of privacy, it is more than one level higher than that on the first floor.
With this room to avoid detection, you can rest assured about your privacy. Just after sitting for a while, a waiter brought a pot of spiritual wine. Seeing that there was nothing to drink next to the people sitting below, Jiang Chen said Knowing that this was a treatment only available in private rooms, I instantly felt more balanced about the two hundred spirit stones I had just paid.
After a while, the hall was already overcrowded, with almost all seats occupied. Jiang Chen made a rough estimate and found that, counting the number of people expected to be seated on the second and third floors, there were approximately two thousand warriors in the entire hall. There was a lot of noise in the room, but fortunately he was in the room and it didn't have much impact on him.
Jiang Chen touched the quotation board in front of him and was studying how to use it. Before he could pick it up, a waiter knocked on his door. It turned out that he was reminded that the auction would start in three quarters of an hour, and he also taught Jiang Chen how to do it. Use the quotation board to bid, pick up the quotation board, and see some numbers that can be rotated flashing on it. You only need to rotate the number you want, and the auctioneer will immediately know the price of the corresponding room number.
It looked like a small object, but the principles involved were quite sophisticated. It should have been made by a skilled craftsman. After playing with it for a while, the waiter handed over another list, which recorded the categories of items to be auctioned today. Although he entered the palace Jiang Chen had seen the same list at the door before, but he was interrupted by the waiter and did not look at it carefully.
At this time, I carefully looked at the list in front of me. There are really a lot of things to be auctioned today. There are almost twenty items from beginning to end, and the items become more and more expensive as they go forward.
At the twelfth place on the list, he actually saw an introduction called Pure Spiritual Water. The spiritual energy is rich and extremely pure. It is harmless to the body when taken directly. It can be used as medicinal materials for Guiyuan Dan. Compared with ordinary spiritual water, Higher quality.
However, the quantity being auctioned was not one bottle that was sold that day, but only twenty drops. Although he could not see the appearance on the list, he could tell from the introduction of the list that this was the spiritual spring water he was selling, and it was here in Sangcheng. The only one worthy of pure spiritual water is the bottle I sell.
The second master of the Fu family once said that this spiritual water can be added to the Guiyuan Pill. This is a great recognition of the quality requirements of the spiritual water. Even the spring water produced by the Spiritual Eye Spring in the City Lord's Mansion cannot be directly added to it. The Guiyuan Pill must be refined several times, and the spiritual water sold by Jiang Chen has reached a level that can be used directly as medicine.
Looking at the starting price marked on the list, it turned out to be eight hundred spirit stones, which was only twenty drops. The bottle Jiang Chen sold that day had almost one hundred drops and only sold two thousand spirit stones. The two in front of him were only two thousand spirit stones. The starting price for ten drops was eight hundred spiritual stones. If that bottle of spiritual spring water was auctioned, the lowest price would be four thousand spiritual stones. Jiang Chen suddenly felt a great loss of blood.
But there is nothing that can be done about it. The price at the auction is indeed higher, but you need to wait for the opportunity at the auction, which is not as direct as the one that can directly transform the spiritual stone.
Fortunately, I have inexhaustible spiritual spring water. Now that I know the value of spiritual spring water, I will never sell it directly at a loss of so much in the future.
...
In a hidden pavilion in the center of the third floor, there were many soldiers in golden armor.
"Thank you to the Heavenly King for coming. Chengdian is honored. With the Heavenly King here, this auction will definitely be recorded in the history of Sang City." Ji Chengdian carefully prepared a seat for the Blood-Crying King and complimented him.
The Blood-Crying King waved his hand and sat at the top of the pavilion. He looked at Ji Chengdian next to him, and then scanned the scene downstairs. Although he didn't say anything, there was still a trace of anger on his face. He said disdainfully: "City Lord Ji, please take a seat. Don't be polite to me when you get here. Since you, the master, have arrived, the auction can begin."
Ji Chengdian looked at the harmless old man in front of him and felt his aura like a wind candle. Although the old man deliberately concealed his aura, Ji Chengdian still felt great fear of the light emitting from his eyes and stepped back. When he got to the door, he gave instructions to the supervisor of the auction hall.
Before Jiang Chen could finish reading the contents on the list, he heard three low ringtones.
