【Chapter 249】At the Auction
【Chapter 249】At the Auction
At this moment, Nangong Chenyu wished he could snatch the auction hammer from the middle-aged male cultivator's hand, hammer it down, and then announce loudly: Deal!
Ye Yishen also had the same idea as him.
Unfortunately, although their ideas were good, they were destined to fail.
Those who can come to the underground trading city to participate in the auction are all worth a lot of money. There is no one who would not want a natural treasure like the Heavenly Soul Flower that has an effect on the mind and soul.
As soon as Nangong Chenyu finished speaking, someone immediately joined the auction.
"I'll offer 1.1 million high-quality spirit stones."
"One million, one hundred and twenty thousand high-grade spirit stones."
"One million, one hundred and fifty thousand high-grade spirit stones."
"One million and two hundred thousand high-quality spirit stones."
"One million, two hundred and fifty thousand high-grade spirit stones."
“…”
The bidding was getting louder and louder, and soon the price was raised to two million high-quality spirit stones. Up to this point, the number of bidders has not decreased, and everyone is determined to get what they want.
"Five million top-grade spirit stones." Nangong Chenyu bid again and doubled the price.
Everyone: It’s you again, kid.
At the moment when everyone was silent, a hoarse and somewhat harsh voice suddenly sounded: "Ten million high-grade spirit stones."
"Hiss~" Many people in the hall gasped.
The prices are getting higher and higher!
There were many people present who recognized who was bidding. Some of them knew that they could not match the other party's financial resources and gave up bidding; others who had financial resources and were not afraid of the other party immediately followed suit.
"Eleven million high-quality spirit stones."
"Eleven thousand and five hundred thousand high-grade spirit stones."
"Eleven thousand eight hundred thousand high-grade spirit stones."
“…”
Every time a bid was called, Ye Yishen's heart trembled. He still had little experience. The people of Zhongxuan Continent were much richer than he thought.
With Nangong Chenyu's spiritual power, there is no need for the Heavenly Soul Flower at all. Therefore, Nangong Chenyu participated in the auction for him. It’s just that the bid for the Heavenly Soul Flower is getting higher and higher, and he doesn’t have to have it.
[Ah Yu, my spiritual awareness is now at the late stage of transformation of spirits, and it will not hinder my cultivation for the time being. 】
Nangong Chenyu smiled helplessly. How could he not know what Ye Yishen meant? Judging from the current bidding trend, the Heavenly Soul Flower might be sold for 20 million high-quality spirit stones.
And all the spirit stones in their hands added up to only more than 10 million high-grade spirit stones. Even if he wanted to spend a fortune on Ye Yisheng, he didn't have the financial resources.
[Don't worry, I won't bid randomly.] 】
Ye Yisheng breathed a sigh of relief, [I’m glad you know what’s going on. 】
In just a short while, the auction price of the Heavenly Soul Flower had risen to 14 million high-quality spirit stones, and there were only five or six bidders left. Two of them sounded gnashing their teeth in their voices, and it was obvious that the current price was already the limit for both of them.
The result was just as Nangong Chenyu had expected. The final transaction price of the Tianhun Flower was 22 million high-quality spirit stones.
The jade box containing the Tianhun Flower was teleported to the backstage. A familiar white light flashed on the square table, and a porcelain vase appeared out of thin air.
"It seems that the fourth lot is a pill."
The middle-aged male cultivator used magic to open the porcelain bottle, and a pill flew out and hovered in the air. The pill is round and full, with clearly visible circles of lines around it.
It is a top-grade elixir.
Everyone subconsciously straightened their backs to see more clearly, including several alchemists.
Pills are common to everyone.
But top-grade elixirs are rarely seen.
Some alchemists cannot make a top-quality elixir in their entire life.
The middle-aged male cultivator did not keep the secret: "This is a ninth-grade top-grade barrier-breaking pill. If taken by a cultivator at the peak of the Mahayana stage, it can increase the probability of breaking through the Tribulation Crossing Stage by 20%."
Except for those who have reached the Tribulation Crossing Stage, the others looked at the Barrier Breaking Pill with eager eyes. Especially those who have just reached the peak of Mahayana cultivation are even more eager to try, waiting for the middle-aged male cultivator to announce the starting price, and then they will immediately bid.
"The starting price for the Barrier Breaking Pill is 100,000 high-grade spirit stones. The bidding will begin now."
"150,000 high-quality spirit stones."
"Two hundred thousand high-quality spirit stones."
"Three hundred thousand high-quality spirit stones."
“…”
Nangong Chenyu and Ye Yishen did not participate in the auction. With their qualifications, they will be able to break through the Tribulation Period sooner or later. The Barrier Breaking Pill is dispensable to them.
In the end, the Barrier Breaking Pill was bought by someone in the private room on the second floor for three million high-quality spirit stones.
"Now let's take a look at the fifth lot."
The palm-sized black box was opened by the middle-aged male cultivator, and a thumb-sized brown bead flew out from it and hovered in the air.
Everyone looked at the bead with curiosity, guessing its function in their minds.
"This is the most precious treasure of Buddhism - the Pearl of Rebirth. It can keep the body of the deceased intact for a long time; it can drive away the evil karma of the soul; it can send the soul of a mortal to reincarnation."
As soon as these words were spoken, most people present lost interest. Instead, the ghost cultivators stared at the Rebirth Pearl with eyes full of desire.
"The starting price for the Rebirth Pearl is 50,000 high-quality spirit stones. The bidding will begin now."
"Eighty thousand high-grade spirit stones."
"One hundred thousand high-quality spirit stones."
"150,000 high-quality spirit stones."
“…”
Nangong Chenyu was quietly watching the ghost cultivators bidding for the Rebirth Pearl when he suddenly heard the voice of a waiter from the trading building: "Excuse me, distinguished guest, your friend invites you to private room 213."
Nangong Chenyu: “???”
"The other person told you that he is my friend?"
"Yes." The waiter nodded and continued, "The senior said that you will know who he is when you go there."
Nangong Chenyu: “…” Who is so boring?
Ye Yisheng also heard the waiter's words and guessed, "Could it be Big Brother and the others?"
"It shouldn't be. If Big Brother saw us, he would definitely send us a message." Nangong Chenyu stood up: "I plan to go and take a look. Do you want to come with me?"
"Of course together." Ye Yishen stood up.
When leaving, the two nodded to Yuan Qingao.
"Brother Yuan, see you after the auction."
Yuan Qingao smiled and nodded: "See you after the auction."
The waiter took Nangong Chenyu and Ye Yishen to the second floor and stopped in front of private room 213. Just as he was about to knock, the door of the private room opened. He immediately stepped aside and gestured to Nangong Chenyu and the others to come in.
Nangong Chenyu stood at the door and looked inside. In the middle of the 20-square-meter private room, there was a long table, on which was placed a pot of spiritual tea, two plates of spiritual fruits, and several plates of spiritual food.
Chairs were placed around the long table.
There was no one inside.
"Why is there no one inside?"
"The senior has gone backstage for something and will be back soon. You two can go in and wait."
Nangong Chenyu lowered his eyes, and a green light flashed in his right eye. In the originally empty private room, a tall figure stood not far from the long table.
It’s Yan Feiyu!
Unexpectedly, even the immortal from Yuntian Holy Land came out personally to warn him, but it failed to dispel Yan Feiyu's determination to snatch the admission token.
Good, good, good! ! !
Since this guy is seeking death, why should he do what he wants?
After giving Ye Yishen a wink, Nangong Chenyu stepped into the private room.
Ye Yisheng followed closely behind.
The door of the private room closed silently.
Yan Feiyu, who used his invisibility ability to hide his body, raised his eyebrows slightly when he saw Nangong Chenyu coming in. But when he saw Ye Yishen following in, his brows unconsciously frowned again.
Why did this person follow me?
Nangong Chenyu looked at Yan Feiyu's changing expressions and found it funny in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face. As he walked towards the long table, he sent a message to Ye Yisheng.
[Ayi, use the law of space to seal off this private room. 】
Ye Yisheng muttered to himself: Space blockade.
The next moment, an invisible force enveloped the entire private room.
【alright. 】
[Sit on my right.] 】Nangong Chenyu sat opposite Yan Feiyu, so that he could react the moment the other party made a move.
Not knowing where the hidden person was, Ye Yisheng tried to relax and sit down naturally: "The private room is different, the view is wide, and everything in the hall can be seen at a glance. Next time we come, we will also have a private room."
"good."
"Hey, what is this?" Ye Yisheng saw a piece of thick white paper on the table that looked out of place, and reached out to take it in his hand: "Heavenly Soul Flower, Cold Soul Crystal, Ninth Level Five Elements Spirit Sword, Longevity Ganoderma..."
Nangong Chenyu leaned over to take a look: "It's an auction order."
The more Ye Yisheng looked, the brighter his eyes became: "So many good things! Unfortunately, we don't have many spirit stones!"
"If there's anything you want, just ask the person who's looking for me to borrow it later." Nangong Chenyu said without any pressure.
Yan Feiyu, who was waiting for the right moment to strike, said: "..."
Ye Yisheng: "Do you know who is looking for you?"
Nangong Chenyu shook his head: "I don't know. Since the other party can ask for a private room, I think he must be very wealthy."
Yan Feiyu, who was considered to be worth a lot of money: "..." If it wasn't for the purpose of seizing the admission token from you, I wouldn't have gone to the trouble of asking for a private room.
"An unknown treasure map fragment, starting price is 10,000 high-quality spirit stones."
The voice of the middle-aged male cultivator came into the private room, and Nangong Chenyu and Ye Yishen subconsciously looked towards the auction table.
The familiar monster skin came into view and the two of them couldn't help but look at each other. They saw a signal in each other's eyes to take a picture of the treasure map fragment.
"Even if it's a treasure map, it's just a fragment. Unless there's news about other fragments, only a fool would want it?"
"Who knows?"
"Why don't you take a picture of it? Someone who has the fragments will definitely ask you to buy them back at a high price."
“Why don’t you take pictures?”
"Aren't I giving you the opportunity to earn spirit stones?"
"unnecessary."
"Auctioneer, please announce the failure of the auction and move on to the next item."
“…”
Everyone in the hall was talking, but no one was bidding.
Seeing this, Ye Yisheng shouted out the bottom price: "Ten thousand high-grade spirit stones."
This treasure map fragment has been unsold many times. The middle-aged male cultivator was afraid that Ye Yisheng would regret it, so he immediately said, "Ten thousand high-grade spirit stones for one time, ten thousand high-grade spirit stones for two times, and ten thousand high-grade spirit stones for three times. Congratulations to the fellow Taoist in room 213 for winning the treasure map fragment."
Everyone: “…” It was the first time they saw the auctioneer finish his words without even taking a breath.
Soon someone knocked on the door of the private room.
Ye Yisheng got up and opened the door.
The moment the door opened, Yan Feiyu quickly walked to Nangong Chenyu and raised his hand to take off the space ring on Nangong Chenyu's finger.
