When Golden Finger Meets Salted Fish
Chapter 79: auctions
There were many people who came to participate in the auction. Apart from the lobby below, almost all the boxes on the second and third floors were full of people. When the time on the invitation came, the auction door was closed and the auction officially started.
Someone walked up to the auction platform in front of the lobby, and the people below saw it, and the noisy lobby quickly quieted down. The man glanced at the crowded lobby, and then at the windows of the boxes upstairs. He seemed a little satisfied, and announced, "Everyone, the time has come. Today's auction has begun."
As soon as this remark came out, the people in the lobby suddenly regained their spirits and looked at the stage with burning eyes.
After all, everyone knows the practice of auction houses, good things are always put at the end, and today's auction has a high standard, which means that the latter are all good things that ordinary people can't afford. These people in the lobby were not invited, and no one had the skills and money to compete with the people upstairs, so their eyes naturally aimed at the lot in front of them.
But conventions are conventions, it's a matter of face, and the first lot at the auction will naturally not be too bad. As soon as the person hosting the auction on the stage raised his hand, several people lifted a cage onto the stage. When the red cloth was lifted, a small animal was huddled in a corner of the cage, looking timidly at the audience.
"This is today's first lot, the six-tailed spirit fox...I think you all know that the cultivation of fox-like spirit beasts is all on the tail. The three-tailed fox, which is like building a foundation with people, is nothing but a common sight in the group. Six-tailed fox The spirit fox, whose cultivation base is at least comparable to the Nascent Soul True Monarch, is already a leader in the fox clan. The nine-tailed celestial fox is an existence comparable to the Mahayana ancestor in legend.
"We can't offend a nine-tailed celestial fox, but we accidentally caught a six-tailed spirit fox in our auction. This little six-tailed fox has just advanced, and its cultivation is comparable to that of a Nascent Soul. Injury, now it looks a little sluggish. It must be a good help for you to take it back and make a contract, and then take a good care of it."
The man paused after the introduction, and then added: "It doesn't matter if it can be used for other purposes."
Discussions had already started under the auction platform at this moment, and the "buzzing" sound of discussions seemed to have flies lingering in the ears, making people's heads hurt from the noise. The little white tiger leaned against the window and looked down, and saw the shivering little fox curled up in the cage.
The little fox was dressed in fiery red fur and looked very beautiful. Counting the tails behind him, there were as many as six. In Jiang Mo's eyes, who was used to seeing a fox's tail, this tail was really too much. Moreover, the fox is well-raised, each tail is fluffy, and when all of them are squeezed behind it, it will become top-heavy at once, as if out of balance, but also as if there is a strange harmony.
When everyone in the audience was talking about it, the auctioneer who presided over the auction announced the low price again: "Okay, everyone should have seen it, and now the auction starts. The six-tailed fox, the reserve price is 50,000 middle-grade spirit stones." , each time the price increase is no less than one thousand."
As soon as this statement came out, there was an uproar in the lobby, because the reserve price had even exceeded the total worth of many people. But if you want them to say it's unreasonable, no one can say it. After all, it is a spirit beast in the Nascent Soul stage, and it has unlimited potential. If it is well cultivated, the little six tails will grow another tail, and the cultivation level will be different.
All in all, many people were tempted, but it was a pity that the worth was not enough and the spirit stones were not enough.
But there is never a shortage of rich people in this world, so after a brief discussion, someone soon began to ask for the price——
"I'll offer fifty thousand!"
"Fifty thousand and one."
"Fifty-two thousand."
"Sixty thousand."
"I'll pay 70,000!"
…
Starting from 50,000, as more and more people participated in the bidding, the price of the six-tailed fox also rose rapidly. It only took the little white tiger to lie on the window sill in the blink of an eye, and the price went up to 100,000, and in the blink of an eye again, the price reached 150,000.
Because he has never used Lingshi and does not know its purchasing power, Xiao Baihu has no specific knowledge of these people's crazy bidding, but at a glance, he can see that many people are already jealous. And when the asking price exceeds 200,000, there are not many bidders left in the lobby, because the empty purse is like a bucket of cold water, no matter who is forced to cool down and calm down.
But this does not mean the end, because the people in the box also began to participate in the bidding.
None of the people on the third floor participated, but there were quite a few people bidding on the second floor. The little white tiger looked back, but saw that Yun Qingyue's expression was flat, and he didn't even look at the six-tailed fox, presumably not interested.
Oh, by the way, whatever the senior sister raises and dies, except for the white tiger, she probably wouldn't dare to buy that little six-tailed back to raise.
Thinking of this, Little White Tiger's mood suddenly improved for some reason. She straightened her chest and wagged her tail behind her. Suddenly, she lost interest in watching people bid for Xiao Liuwei, and turned around and jumped into the arms of her senior sister. Raising its furry paws, it pointed at the fruit bowl on the table, as if coquettishly about to be fed.
Yun Qingyue didn't know why she suddenly acted coquettishly again, but this little thing was easy to satisfy. She glanced at the fruit plate, and then chose one of the milky white spiritual fruits to feed. The little white tiger's mouth was full of milky fragrance when he bit into it.
The milk tiger has not been weaned yet, so it is just right to eat this.
***************************************************** *************
The six-tailed fox was finally sold at a price of 400,000 middle-grade spirit stones, and the person who bought it was a monk in a box on the second floor. Although from the perspective of Yun Qingyue's box, he couldn't see who was in that box, but the voice of the other party was quite familiar when he asked for the price.
Xiao Baihu thought about it later, and remembered that it should be the voice of Senior Brother Qu from the Spiritual Beast Garden, and it shouldn't be a bad thing for Xiao Liuwei to be photographed by him.
The climax brought by the six-tailed fox gave the auction a good start. Afterwards, the auction items were carried up to the high platform one by one, and all of them were sold at a price that satisfied the auction house. Talismans, magic treasures, formation plates, pills, or spiritual fruits, medicines, materials, and beasts, all kinds of things, from low-grade to high-grade, appeared one after another in the on the auction block.
In this way, more than a dozen rounds passed quickly, and the prices of the auctions also went from low to high, all the way from a few thousand middle-grade spirit stones to tens of thousands and hundreds of thousands. After the purses of everyone in the lobby were searched, the auctions for the VIPs in the boxes began to appear on the stage one after another.
Another round of auctions began, and the long wooden box was placed on the auction stage. The auctioneer opened the wooden box to reveal a sword.
It was a light golden spirit sword. The sword was slender and seemed to be entwined with streamers of light. It just lay quietly in the wooden box, and it was so sharp and sharp that it was about to break out of the box... No need for an auctioneer's introduction, anyone with eyes can see it. Knowing that this must be a good sword, and people with good eyesight can see at a glance that this is a magic weapon above the fifth level, which is worthy of a Nascent Soul cultivator!
Those present at the auction had the highest cultivation level, Nascent Soul, and there were even quite a few Foundation Establishment cultivators in the lobby to join in the fun. As soon as this spirit sword came out, it naturally attracted the attention of many people. The monks in the lobby didn't care about it when the bidding started.
The little white tiger ran to the window to join in the fun. Amidst the shouting of prices in each box, she even heard Zhong Heng's voice... By the way, doesn't that guy use an epee? Could it be that he changed his sword path for a spirit sword? She didn't quite understand, but she was greatly shocked. After a while, she suddenly realized that most of the bidders were from the boxes on the second floor, and there were still very few bidders on the third floor.
The people on the third floor really look down on that spirit sword, because those who can go up to the third floor are all big disciples. Their own talents, strengths and status are not bad, and the sect also attaches great importance to them. After advancing to the Nascent Soul, both the master and the sect will not hesitate to train them.
It's just a Nascent Soul Stage Spirit Sword. Before Yun Qingyue advanced, he had already obtained a snow-covered sword of better quality from his master.
But except for them, most monks don't have this treatment. Take Zhongheng for example, he is also the second senior brother of Mingxia Peak. It stands to reason that after advancing to Yuanying, in addition to the Zongmen's statement, the master will also have a magic weapon. But his master is not very reliable, Master Qingyu even teaches his apprentice perfunctorily on weekdays, God knows if she will remember this? Maybe she was still practicing in seclusion when the apprentice advanced, Zhong Heng didn't dare to count on her at all.
All in all, it is a good thing to get the magic weapon in advance, so that you have more time to use your own spiritual power to cultivate it, and the magic weapon can be more compatible with you when you use it in the future. As for the light sword and heavy sword that Little White Tiger was worried about, it was actually not a problem at all.
This round of bidding was fierce, and the price soared all the way to 350,000 middle-grade spirit stones, almost catching up with the previous six-tailed spirit fox. But Xiao Baihu didn't know the person who bought the spirit sword this time, and the voice of asking for the price was very strange. Zhong Heng didn't know whether it was because there were not enough spirit stones, or if the spirit sword was beyond his psychological price, so he gave up halfway.
Up to this point, the senior sister has not made an offer once.
The little white tiger watched the excitement from the beginning with great interest, but by this time he was also a little tired. She ran back to her senior sister again, jumped on the chair, grabbed a spiritual fruit and gnawed it in her arms—it was the kind of milky fruit that her senior sister had picked for her before. After biting the skin, there was jelly-like pulp inside, and she sucked it in one bite. The mouth is full of milk fragrance, which is said to be the favorite of cubs.
The milk tiger was inevitably attracted by this kind of spiritual fruit, and after eating one, he scooped another into his bosom. I don't know what is the mystery on the fruit plate. As soon as she took away a fruit, the fruit plate was filled again immediately, so there was no need to worry about finishing it.
The little white tiger here was eating with gusto, when suddenly he heard the senior sister offer: "One hundred thousand."
The little white tiger was choked by the "jelly" immediately, and coughed violently—just now she was only eating the fruit, and didn't pay attention to the new lot, what made the senior sister pay a hundred thousand when she opened her mouth? !
Probably because she coughed too loudly, Yun Qingyue, who was bidding, was also attracted. She looked back helplessly, and stretched out her hand to scoop up the little white tiger into her arms. While channeling her spiritual energy to help her recover, she never let go of the outside bidding. Then, after her bid was surpassed for several rounds, she bid again with a calm face: "Two hundred thousand."
The cough that had just recovered from the little white tiger rang out again, and she took the time to look at the auction stage, only to see a golden ball lying quietly on the tray where the lot was placed. I don't know what it is, but it is worth such a high price from the senior sister?
Fortunately, Yun Qingyue's bid was indeed high, and coupled with the deterrence of the box on the third floor, no one would compete with her anymore.
After a while, the maid who had been dismissed earlier knocked on the door of the box and brought over the lot that Yun Qingyue had just taken. Yun Qingyue glanced at it lightly, and after confirming that there was nothing wrong with the things, he took out a storage bag, put it on the tray, and the maid took it away.
The golden ball was kept, and it was placed on the table with the fruit plate. The little white tiger stared curiously for a few times, but he couldn't see anything in the cultivation world just by looking at it. What's more, she is still a tiger with little common sense, and she can't see any difference when she looks left and right, let alone understand the value of this thing?
Out of curiosity, the little white tiger pawed again with its paws, but as soon as the paws touched the golden ball, a surge of energy rushed towards her. She was startled, and quickly retracted her paws like an electric shock, staring at the ball vigilantly.
The golden ball rolled a few times on the table, then stopped moving again, nothing unusual.
Yun Qingyue looked at the cautious look of the little white tiger, with a smile in his eyes, he picked up the golden ball and stuffed it into the little white tiger's arms: "I bought it for you, take it and play with it."
