Chapter 151 The Auction Begins
In Nanhui City, a restaurant with many people coming and going.
Yan Jingjing and her group of six sat in the restaurant lobby, eating their meals leisurely.
A restaurant with a large flow of people is a place where all kinds of news gather, which is why they did not choose to eat in a private room.
Look, the table next to them is discussing the auction that will be held in three days.
Only one person said, "I heard that there will be Qingpeng eggs auctioned at this auction."
Qingpeng is a monster with a short growth cycle, and it has the foundation of building cultivation at birth.
If it is cultivated well, it can advance to Yuanying in two or three hundred years. It is a monster pet that is deeply welcomed by cultivators.
After all, many cultivators may not be able to advance to the Golden Core stage in two or three hundred years, so the Green Peng Bird is a very good fighting force.
Another person said: "Not only that, I also heard that there will be a Qingyun token auction."
"Qingyun token? Oh, it turns out that the Qingyun Secret Realm, which opens once every twenty years, is open again."
"Other secret realms cannot be entered by casual cultivators like us with low cultivation, but the Qingyun Secret Realm can only be entered by cultivators in the Qi Refining Stage, so we can still make some plans."
Someone sneered: "How can we make some plans? If the Qingyun token is put on the auction, you will definitely not be able to get it without 20 to 30 million low-grade spirit stones."
"That's right, a Qingyun token can only bring 5 people into the secret realm. For casual cultivators like us, let alone 20 to 30 million, we don't even have a million spirit stones, so what's the point of planning a token?"
Many casual cultivators shook their heads and sighed when they heard this.
Afterwards, those people discussed some random things. Yan Jingjing and the other six did not hear any useful information, so they checked out and left the restaurant.
They went to a larger inn and booked three rooms.
Afterwards, Wang Xindong and the other three were sent out to inquire about the news.
They had just entered the world of cultivation, so they had to understand the current territory.
Although there were some introductions about the world of cultivation in the books given by Si Boyan, it was impossible to provide details about every town.
Three hours later, the four people came back and shared the news they had inquired about.
The world of cultivation is divided into five continents: East, South, West, North, and Central. The Nanhui City where they are now is located in the South Continent. It is a relatively remote small city.
Because of its remote location and few cultivation resources, the highest level of cultivation in Nanhui City is the Yuan Infant Period.
The Qingyun Secret Realm they had heard about before would be opened in a month. Only cultivators in the Qi Refining Stage were allowed to enter, but they could build their foundation in the secret realm. Each opening time was two months.
Most Qingyun tokens were in the hands of sects and aristocratic families, and only a few were lost and fought over by independent cultivators.
This was also the reason why most people wanted to enter the sect.
Not to mention that it was cool to lean against a big tree, the opportunity to enter various secret realms was much more than that of independent cultivators.
Besides, the auction was tomorrow.
He Ming said, "To enter the auction, each person has to pay 10,000 low-grade spirit stones. This is only the price for the lowest-grade seats in the hall. If you want a private room, you have to pay more."
"An ordinary private room costs 30,000 low-grade spirit stones, and a VIP private room costs 100,000 low-grade spirit stones. In addition, the auction house has special black cloaks that can cover your figure, and those below the Yuan Infant stage cannot see through. A cloak costs 10,000 spirit stones."
This price is not expensive.
After all, in such a small border town, there are very few Yuan Infant True Lords, and it is already very good to be able to block the prying of cultivators below the Yuan Infant stage.
Yan Jingjing said with interest: "The auction in the cultivation world is something you can go and see. By the way, did you get the auction list?"
He Ming shook his head, "No, I heard that only the VIP room store will provide an auction list."
Lu Mingxuan said: "If you want to see the list, I will go to reserve a VIP room later."
Yan Jingjing shook her head: "Forget it if you don't have it, let's go to the scene tomorrow. Anyway, we don't have anything we must buy."
"Okay."
Yan Jingjing suddenly thought of something and asked the system in her mind: "System, He Ming and others are staying in my space, can I take them into the Qingyun Secret Realm?"
"And Chao Chao and Xi Xi, they haven't drawn Qi into their bodies yet, will they be excluded from the secret realm?"
If that's the case, then she won't enter the secret realm.
[With the system, the host can bring them into the secret realm together, and Chao Chao and Xi Xi will not be excluded from the secret realm. ]
Somehow, Yan Jingjing actually heard a sense of majesty and domineering from the system's smooth mechanical sound.
It really deserves to be called the system daddy, so amazing!
She said with great gratitude: "Thank you, system."
[You're welcome. ]
The next day was the auction.
Surprisingly, Yan Jingjing got a golden finger called "Domain".
It can unfold a barrier within a hundred meters, and outsiders cannot see every move, word and deed in the barrier.
In addition, the domain suppresses the enemy's combat power by 50%, and increases your own combat power by percentage.
She had previously felt sorry that Chao Chao and Xi Xi could not see the scene of the auction, but now that she had the golden finger of Territory, she could ask for a private room when the time came and call the two little guys out to watch.
The auction in Nanhui City was held in a shopping mall called "Wanbaohui".
Although there were many people participating in the auction, it was far from being crowded.
Nanhui City was a small city after all, and most of the people were independent cultivators without many spiritual stones. The auction was a mid- to high-end consumption venue, and they could not afford it.
Yan Jingjing and the other six people all bought black tents and asked for a VIP private room. The manager smiled and handed over an auction list.
After entering the private room, Yan Jingjing immediately unfolded Territory, which was almost the same size as the private room, to prevent others from snooping.
Then, Chaochao and Xixi were brought out of the space.
"Mom, are we already at the auction venue?" Xixi asked.
"Yes, this is the private room we booked."
"Wow, that's great."
Unlike Xixi who looked around excitedly, Chaochao sat next to Lu Mingxuan with the little wooden sword in his arms after leaving the space, like a little old man.
Yan Jingjing smiled, how much does Chaochao like the little wooden sword? Why does he carry it with him wherever he goes?
She could already imagine how he would become oblivious to the world outside and focus on sword training when he grew up.
Not long after, the auction started.
A fair-skinned and beautiful female foundation-building cultivator walked lightly to the auction platform and said with a smile, "I am the host of this auction. Without further ado, I will start the auction of the first item - the top-grade yellow-level martial arts "Eightfold Swords." "
The martial arts, like the formations, are also divided into four levels: heaven, earth, black, and yellow. Each level also has the distinction of top-grade, top-grade, middle-grade, and low-grade.
However, no matter which level, the top-grade martial arts are rare.
I didn't expect that in such a border town with scarce cultivation resources, a top-grade technique would appear. Even if it is the lowest grade, the yellow grade, it is still very rare.
No wonder it was auctioned as the first item at the auction.
You know, the first item at the auction can't be too ordinary. The store needs to use it to stir up the atmosphere and avoid a dull atmosphere that makes the subsequent items unsold.
This top-grade technique is just right.
"The starting price of "Eightfold Sword" is 30 million low-grade spirit stones. Each bid must not be less than 1 million spirit stones. Now, the bidding begins!"
