Time flew by, and the three days passed by in a blink of an eye, and the opening day of the auction came in a blink of an eye.
During this period, many cultivators in the Qi refining stage poured into Huamian Tower one after another, making every floor extremely noisy. It was even more so on the last day. Even the barriers with magic power could not stop the shouting of the monks. In the end, It alerted a certain foundation-building monk who was sitting in charge, and this made the noisy crowd calm down a lot.
There was still an hour before the auction. Chen Mo took the list of auction items sent by the maid Zhuer and went directly to the thirteenth floor of Huamian Building, where the auction venue was.
Luo Feichen and Lin Yuqin both had their own plans, so they did not arrive with Chen Mo. When the waiter at the auction house bowed to greet him, what Chen Mo looked at made him a little surprised.
It turns out that this place has been opened up into two floors. The vast and vast platform is astonishingly large. The entire auction house is a circular closed structure. The top floor is more than thirty dark rooms with curtains drawn. Chen Mo explored it briefly and found that there were more than 30 dark rooms with curtains drawn. It has the effect of blocking spiritual consciousness. It is probably prepared for monks with high status.
The seats in the middle row are in the center of the platform. You can clearly see the items on the platform from any direction. As for the lower position, although the monks need to look up, the advantage is that they are closer to the display platform. Each has its own advantages and disadvantages. , it all depends on the monk’s own preferences.
Although there is still some time before the auction, the occupancy rate here has reached nearly 40%. In Chen Mo's stunned breath, more than ten monks entered the place and chose a seat near the back to sit down.
Chen Mo did not dare to hesitate any longer, so he chose a seat that was neither near the front nor behind him. There was no monk next to him, so he quietly waited for the auction to begin.
After about half an hour, a real large number of monks poured in like a tide. Some disciples at the peak of Qi refining flew directly to the upper box, while others sat in groups of three or five, sitting in a lively manner. Come together.
Chen Mo carefully observed that the monks who could go to the box were all at the peak of Qi refining. There were even two white-haired old men walking away quickly with a faint layer of white mist, causing the monks around to whisper. Silence for a moment.
"The foundation-building monks also participated..."
Chen Mo sighed heavily in his heart, hoping that no rare materials would appear, otherwise these old guys would have to pick them away.
After a while, the auction house was almost full, and two monks took up a seat next to Chen Mo. One of them was older and looked to be in his sixties, and the other was a seven or eight-year-old girl. , I wonder if it is caused by practicing any special skills.
As if sensing Chen Mo's gaze, the girl suddenly smiled at him. Chen Mo also nodded and stopped looking to the left.
"Dang Dang Dang..."
Suddenly, there was a rapid sound of gongs in the sky above the auction house. The originally bright space became dim as the waiter closed the door to the auction house. A energetic old man flew out from the background and floated faintly in mid-air. After glancing around, his hoarse and deep voice spread to every monk's ears:
"I, Li Fuxing, have been kindly invited by Huamianlou to take charge of the order of this auction. I also ask all comrades to treat me well and not to use force, make noise, or stir up trouble here. Any violators will be killed without mercy! Don't say that. It’s strange that I didn’t explain it in advance!”
The words "kill without mercy" were bitten so hard that Chen Mo's mind was buzzing. He couldn't help showing a look of horror. Is this the old monster in the pill formation stage? As expected, it was so majestic that it intimidated nearly a thousand Qi-refining cultivators just by its aura!
The scene suddenly became quiet, and the two foundation-building monks in the box did not dare to say anything at this moment, quietly waiting for the next move of the pill-forming monk.
"Whoosh..."
Li Fuxing suddenly dodged and disappeared in front of everyone. No one knew where he went. But then, twelve graceful maids appeared on the platform of the auction house, holding pipa, dulcimer, and Xiao. Waiting for a series of musical instruments to sing and dance, the melodious and elegant gestures made the monks present quickly forget the threat just now, and shouted "Hello" one after another.
At the end of the song, the maids bowed politely and left. At this time, a man walked slowly from the backstage. His steps were steady and steady. He was completely unaware of the thousands of curious eyes. He walked to the center of the platform and arched around. He cupped his hands and slowly said:
"I am Xia Qing Shanhai, one of the general stewards of Huamian Tower. I believe some Taoist friends know me, so I won't introduce myself too much here. This time the auction meeting of Wei, Yan and Qin was hosted by Qing. In addition, the rules of the auction have been explained by the maids in this building and Senior Li Fuxing before, so I won’t repeat them again. I can quietly reveal to everyone that the finale of this auction has something that all Taoist friends present will need. Something..."
Without giving the nearly a thousand monks present time to react, he answered: "Okay! Let's get straight to the point and present the first lot!"
As soon as Qing Shanhai finished speaking, a huge roaring sound was accompanied by four slender light pillars, which were projected from the central area of the platform. In a flash of light, an extra person suddenly appeared on the originally empty table. Exquisitely packaged in a small sandalwood box.
Qing Shanhai smiled slightly, picked up a piece of clean white cloth and wrapped it in his hand. He lifted his right hand slightly, and took out a pill with white mist from the sandalwood box, which attracted the attention of nearly a thousand monks. Attracted, everyone gathered on this pill.
"Haha... I would like to apologize to all fellow Taoists. Since the owner of this item is in a hurry, we have temporarily changed the order on the list and decided to auction this elixir first!"
Qing Shanhai rubbed his hand wrapped in white cloth slightly, put the elixir back into the small sandalwood box, and said to everyone leisurely:
"Foundation Building Pill, Bauhinia Fruit and Chalcedony Mushroom, two spiritual objects that nurture the essence of heaven and earth. The elixir is a combination of several types of heavenly materials and earthly treasures. It is an indispensable pill for Qi Refining monks to break through Foundation Building. Box What is placed inside is exactly what I mentioned below, a fake foundation-building pill!"
"Furthermore, after evaluation by our appraiser, this elixir is not an inferior weakly effective 100-fold foundation-building elixir, but a fake foundation-building elixir with a nearly 10% chance of foundation-building! The starting price is 40,000 low-grade spiritual stones! Each time the price is increased, it will be no less than one hundred low-grade spiritual stones!”
As we all know, there are only two qualities of foundation-building pills, either genuine foundation-building pills with a 30% chance of foundation-building, or defective foundation-building pills replaced with other elixirs. There is only a 1% chance of successful foundation-building pills. The ones with higher efficacy can reach 3%, and you can only take one pill for life. Other than that, there are no higher ones.
The price of a 3% low-quality Foundation Establishment Pill in the market is more than hundreds of thousands of low-grade spiritual stones, let alone this 10% fake Foundation Establishment Pill!
Chen Mo's heart skipped a beat. There wasn't much difference between the 10% and 30% chances. He could still afford 40,000 spirit stones. If he could buy it now, he wouldn't have to risk his life in the Forgotten Land.
But before Chen Mo could speak, the bidding sounds started one after another in the auction house. Quotes of fifty thousand spirit stones, seventy thousand spirit stones, etc. came from various areas of the auction house. The exciting sounds made people tremble.
"One hundred and forty-four thousand spiritual stones!"
"I will give you 150,000 spiritual stones!!"
"Hehe... I want to buy this fake Foundation Establishment Pill just for 150,000 spirit stones. Are you dreaming?!"
A sarcastic word suddenly came from the covered box, which made the monk bidding in the hall suffocate. Then, the price of 200,000 spirit stones came out from the box No. 7, which made Qing Shanhai's spirits rise. !
"...I will give you 220,000 spirit stones!"
The monk was looked at by many eyes, and there was some sweat on his forehead, but he still shouted out the high price of 220,000 spiritual stones!
"Three hundred thousand spirit stones, is there anyone left who can compete with me?"
A lazy voice came from the box. Chen Mo looked at it and saw that it was the voice from box No. 7. "It seems that this guy is the descendant of a certain leader..." Chen Mo sighed secretly in his heart and suppressed it. The thoughts of competing with him for 300,000 spiritual stones were far beyond what he could bear.
Qing Shanhai hammered down three times, but after all, no one shouted out a price higher than 300,000 spirit stones. The fake Foundation Establishment Pill was delivered to the owner of the box. The two parties delivered the spirit stones and the auction continued.
The price of spiritual stones is not random. Once the personnel in the venue find that the spiritual stones are not shouted out, they will be expelled immediately and a part of the spiritual stones will be deducted as punishment. The monks who do not have a single spiritual stone will pray for flowers. Mianlou has a kind heart and can let himself out alive.
"Spirit-controlling gold is an excellent material for refining magic weapons. The net weight is three kilograms and four taels. The base price is one hundred yuan for low-grade spiritual stones!"
The next item to be auctioned, Qing Shanhai really followed the order on the list. The lines on this piece of imperial gold were extremely beautiful, and it exuded a dazzling yellow light under the light. But for some reason, many monks present But few were willing to bid.
It turns out that this object's innate characteristics can only refine the magic weapon of the boat series. The amount of Yulingjin is too small to build a flying shuttle. There are very few weapon refiners present, which leads to this situation. .
However, it was not that no one bid for the price. After a dozen breaths, a monk called out a price of 200 spiritual stones.
"I will give you three hundred pieces of spiritual stones. I will go back and think about this thing for a while. I'd like to trouble you fellow Taoists to show your respect to me, so let's part with it!"
A young monk on the left side of the auction house immediately stood up and said: "Fellow Taoist, this thing is also useful to me. I'm sorry I can't give it to you. I have five hundred spirit stones here!"
"snort!"
The white-haired old man's face darkened. It was not cost-effective to exchange the extra two hundred spirit stones for this piece of spirit gold. After thinking about it, he decided to forget it and gave the item directly to him.
In this way, Qing Shanhai presented materials one after another to the auction house, and there would always be a monk who liked them and took them away. The auction lasted for more than an hour, and not a single item failed to be auctioned. I wonder if it was Hua Mian. The trust that Lou is looking for is still very popular.
After that came the auction of elixirs. From elixirs for healing injuries to elixirs for improving one's cultivation, there were many people who assisted in cultivation. Since Chen Mo's theme was all about magic weapons, he didn't even look at the elixirs and wasn't even interested in bidding. nor.
However, the girl not far away from him took a few pills that could heal wounds, which made Chen Mo couldn't help but look at it a few more times.
Although Luo Feichen had changed his appearance, Chen Mo still found him. This guy also took a few pills for later use. As for Lin Yuqin, Chen Mo had not found her yet.
The auction of elixirs has reached the end of the day, and it’s the magic weapon’s turn. Maybe it’s because of the rush. For each batch of exhibitions, Huamianlou will announce the three magic weapons together and bid together, saving one piece at a time. The tossing trouble.
"A sky-shattering awl. It has a miraculous effect on breaking the restrictions on formations. The lowest price is four hundred spirit stones..." Qing Shanhai slowly put down the sharp awl and turned to take out the whip on the red plate display. Next, he waved two whip flowers in the air and said slowly: "The love-breaking whip made from the tail vertebrae of the rattlesnake at the peak of Qi refining, is as powerful as a top-grade magic weapon, and the base price is one thousand two hundred spirit stones!"
"As for this one..."
Qing Shanhai slowly picked up a light blue ruler: "This magic weapon is called the Flying Star Ruler. It can not only restrain the enemy, but also summon the power of meteors to escape and evacuate. It is a genuine high-grade magic weapon with a starting price of five thousand." Spiritual stone!"
Chen Mo's eyes were suddenly attracted by this magical weapon about five inches long. Not only him, but also several monks at the peak of Qi Refining in the box also showed interest in it.
"Flying Star Ruler, six thousand low-grade spiritual stones!"
The enthusiastic shouts rang out again. As a monk in the early stage of foundation building, Qing Shanhai would naturally not remember the wrong monk who quoted the price. There would be no confusion if the three magic weapons were bid at the same time. Chen Mo saw that only the monk in Box 14 was interested in this item. Feixing Ruler made a bid, and he held his throat and shouted out his first offer: "Feixing Ruler, I will offer seven thousand spiritual stones!"
There were too many people in the auction, so no one paid attention to Chen Mo. He glanced around and found that there were not many people participating in the bidding of the Flying Star Ruler, which gave him a little more confidence out of thin air.
The fundamental reason is that the power of this magic weapon is too low. It only has the reputation of being a top-grade magic weapon, but it can only be used to bind and escape. What is it used for? It's a waste of spiritual power and useless against the enemy.
And Chen Mo just needs it. His Silver Flower Mirror is a top-grade magic weapon and has great power. However, its disadvantage is that it is slow to cast. The Giant Peak obtained from Feng Yulin is also so clumsy. With the addition of the Flying Star Ruler, he can do it better. Use your magic weapon.
Before Chen Mo could be happy for a while, another monk in the box made a bid: "Flying Star Ruler, eight thousand five hundred spiritual stones!"
"Fellow Daoist Zhou, Chu knows where you are, so let me give you this magic weapon. Chu happens to be short of a confinement magic weapon. Chu will give it to you as a gift later!"
The monk in Box 26 said nonchalantly to the monk in Box 14, who sighed: "Okay, then I won't participate in the competition."
"Eight thousand and five hundred spirit stones for the first time!" Qing Shanhai just shouted, and Chen Mo spoke again: "Nine thousand low-grade spirit stones!"
"Um?!"
The monk in Box 26 suddenly opened the curtains, revealing a ferocious face. He immediately focused on Chen Mo's location.
