Xianyuan Pavilion.
The day when the auction is held is the busiest day of every month. There is a high platform in the center, and the open area around it is enough to gather tens of thousands of people to participate.
On the high-hanging second floor, there is also a row of higher-end private rooms. Nine Heavens and Ten Earths or some other important forces have an exclusive single room here.
Before the auction started, Elder Chuanjian was walking in the corridor. Next to him was a tall white bear standing upright, wearing full armor, like a majestic general. There was a wheelchair carried on the white bear's shoulder armor, and Tantai Jing was sitting on it.
These are the two people who came to Taotie City with the great trust of Shushan.
The two of them were walking when a group of people came towards them from the other end of the corridor. The leader is a burly middle-aged Taoist with a bronze complexion and a cold face. He wears a Taoist robe. The background color of the Bagua Yin Yang Fish is as red as a blazing flame.
The two sides' eyes collided, and they both slowed down immediately.
"Elder Chuanjian, long time no see." The middle-aged Taoist smiled slightly and bowed his hands.
"I heard that you have been in seclusion in Fanghu for a long time, so you are considered to be out of seclusion." Elder Chuanjian also said with a smile.
The person in front of me is none other than Taoist Chiniu of the Penglai Sect.
"There is no other way. I must take down the demon pestle today." Taoist Chiniu shook his head, "I don't worry about others coming, so I can only do it myself."
"What a coincidence." Elder Chuanjian also said, "Our Shushan Party is bound to win this."
"Hahaha." Chiniu Taoist laughed and raised his hand, "Then let's see who wins."
"Cough." A cough came from behind.
Elder Chuanjian looked over and saw a rather thin man wearing a black shirt with a jade belt, and said: "Is this the newly promoted Taoist Xuanlu? The Penglai Sect is full of talents."
"It's this junior who has met Elder Chuanjian." Taoist Xuanlu also saluted, "No matter who gets the demon-subduing pestle today, it's best that our two families don't harm the harmony."
"This is natural. The world's righteousness is connected with the same spirit. Harmony is the most important thing." Elder Chuanjian laughed and waved his black meteorite iron hand.
"Yes, be kind!" Taoist Chiniu also laughed.
After the two parties exchanged greetings, they each went to their own rooms and sat down.
"Shushan wanted my demon-slaying knife a few years ago, and now he wants to snatch the demon-slaying pestle from me. It's really hateful!" Taoist Chiniu sat down and said in a deep voice: "If they hadn't taken action too, then I might have been able to Capture the Demon-Subduing Pestle in advance."
Before the auction, he had also contacted Xianyuan Pavilion in the name of Penglai Shangzong, hoping to bid for the demon-subduing pestle in advance.
Normally speaking, Penglai Shangzong's reputation is naturally greater than that of Shushan. After all, it is the number one immortal sect in Kyushu. If it were normal, maybe Xianyuan Pavilion would really agree.
But because the Shushan sect has also spoken, giving it to others in advance at this time is equivalent to a direct slap in the face of Shushan. Xianyuan Pavilion simply refused to give it to anyone, but only promised a 10% discount to both families.
"The Six Demon-Exterminating Treasures have been controlled by Shushan for thousands of years. It is normal for them to think that they are their own." Taoist Xuanlu chuckled, "Be careful not to be impatient later and think twice before you act."
"I know, I will listen to your orders in a moment." Taoist Chiniu nodded.
The reason why Taoist Xuanlu came with us this time was because of his quick thinking. Although he was promoted to the seventh realm not long ago and his qualifications are still relatively young, he was already an important counselor in their Fang Hu faction long before his promotion.
Although Taoist Chiniu is a veteran and powerful person, he is not arrogant in front of him.
"When I meet him in the secret realm one day, I must teach him how to behave." Elder Chuanjian twisted his fist made of black meteorite iron, with the same serious expression on his face.
Thanks to the fact that the single room in Xianyuan Pavilion is absolutely soundproof, it is very different from the one in Chu Liang... Otherwise, it would be easy for the two sides to fight across the wall.
Tantai Jing's big white bear was sitting cross-legged and meditating, and his demeanor and aura were no different from those of human practitioners. And he himself sat aside and said with a smile: "No matter whether you succeed or fail later, the elder must control your temper. If you take action first in this situation, it will be true."
"Don't worry, I'm not the Emperor's daughter Feng." Elder Chuanjian chuckled.
…
"auctions?"
Wen Yulong looked at the jade plate at the entrance of Xianyuan Pavilion, and then remembered that today was the day of the monthly auction here.
Although the Demon-Subduing Pestle caused a small sensation when it was revealed, it was not enough to alarm the entire Taotie City. In the past few days, they had only paid attention to the ups and downs of the God-Gathering Pill, but they didn't pay much attention to the news.
Chu Liang's eyes swept across from top to bottom, and naturally landed on the end: "Demon Subduing Pestle?"
"One of the six treasures to eliminate demons!" Wen Yulong said: "This is an important treasure of our Shu Mountain. Someone should have come to the mountain gate. Why don't you go in and see it?"
"Okay." Chu Liang nodded.
The tickets for the auction are not expensive. After paying the money, you will receive a long-handled wooden sign with the location and number on it. The two of them entered the first floor of the hall together and took a seat at the back.
Thousands of people attended this auction.
It's just that although there are many people in the palace, most of them come in with the mentality of watching the excitement and have no intention of buying anything. The rest also have many people who just take a look and take action when they encounter a suitable opportunity.
Therefore, there should not be too many people raising placards by then.
Not long after he sat down, he heard the sound of a gong, and a shopkeeper from Xianyuan Pavilion stepped onto the high platform.
"Thank you all Taoist friends here for coming to our Xianyuan Pavilion to support me. I believe that tonight's treasures will not disappoint everyone." His voice spread to every corner of the hall with the breeze, "Without further words, let's start today's auction!"
clang.
Another gong sounded.
When there were two maids in colorful clothes and fluttering skirts, each carrying a golden tray covered with red cloth, walked onto the high platform.
"Today's first treasure is a pair of ancient clam pearls from the East China Sea!" The shopkeeper opened the red cloth, revealing a pair of huge pearls.
One is bright red, and the other is purple-black, each with its own brilliance.
"The red bead illuminates the yang, and the purple bead illuminates the yin. The red bead's rays of light can detect all obstacles, making the hidden sneaks unable to hide; the purple bead can see through ghosts, making the yin energy reveal its true nature."
"The starting price is two thousand Suzaku coins, and each increase will not be less than one hundred Suzaku coins." The shopkeeper waved his hand, "Please raise your sign!"
Because there are so many people, the rule here is that as long as you raise a placard, it represents the minimum price for participating in this round of bidding, which means that it is regarded as an increase of one hundred. If you want more, just shout.
The two beads of yin and yang sound quite practical, but many people are participating in the competition. Chu Liang was watching the excitement when he felt Wen Yulong poke him next to him.
"Senior Brother Chu, this is a good thing. The embedded magic weapon is quite good." The man looked at the treasure on the stage with excitement on his face, "Hurry up and lift it up."
"Let's see and then talk." Chu Liang declined politely.
Not long after, the object was auctioned off for a high price of four thousand Suzaku coins.
Chu Liang roughly calculated that the base price of these two beads, two thousand Suzaku coins, was definitely on the low side, but four thousand was too high. It seems that the auction can indeed earn more, and those who really want it have to pay a premium to take it, which is more than the explicit price.
learned.
At this time, the second treasure came on stage. It was a fist-sized piece of wind spiritual energy crystal. When placed there, the blue light was so bright that it could levitate objects within a one-foot radius.
"Whether this item is used to comprehend the great ways of heaven and earth, or used as an auxiliary material to refine magic weapons, it is excellent!" The shopkeeper continued to boast.
"Yes!" When Wen Yulong saw it, his eyes suddenly shone again: "If you give this thing to me, it will definitely improve the quality of the magic weapon to a big level! Brother Chu, hurry up!"
Chu Liang regretted a little. It seemed that it was a mistake to watch the auction with this guy... He could think of a wonderful use for every treasure he saw and was excited about it.
Who can bear this?
What kind of family conditions can buy the same at auction?
Chu Liang was so troubled that he had no choice but to refuse clearly: "If you want to lift it for yourself, I won't lift it."
Good morning.
Sorry for being late again today. I originally wanted to take a few days off and update more, but instead of having insomnia all night the day before, I felt groggy and uncomfortable all day yesterday, and I got up late today too.
The only restriction now is my body. I am also afraid that I will get seriously ill again if I suffer too much, and then I will stop for a long time. I will wait until my condition is adjusted before continuing to add more.
