Chapter 78 Princess Dayan
Mr. Zhang introduced Lin Shan to his colleagues, and everyone looked ugly.
The appraisers at the auction house originally thought that after Mr. Zhang was transferred to Yinchuan, the position of chief appraiser in Yichuan would be vacant. They had been fighting fiercely before.
Some people had packed up a large number of spiritual stones, but Lin Shan airborne!
How could the appraisers tolerate a young boy sitting on top of an old employee and shitting?
However, everyone is a veteran, so they know to find out the details of Lin Shan first and ask if he is the second generation immortal? It would be bad if he was the direct son of a cultivating family and offended the younger generation and attracted the elders.
Everyone chatted with each other for a while. Lin Shan had already explained his character in front of Mr. Zhang, so naturally it was not easy to raise the banner again. He only said that his ancestors were very glorious and he was now a casual cultivator.
Now everyone felt confident, but they didn't openly target Lin Shan. After all, Mr. Zhang is still here. When this year’s auction is over, Mr. Zhang will be transferred away. Let’s see how proud you will be
Lin Shan naturally did not know what these appraisers thought, but in a friendly and cooperative manner, he lived in harmony with everyone under the leadership of Mr. Zhang the day before the auction.
……
Another day passed in the blink of an eye, and the auction arrived as scheduled.
From time to time, there are high-level monks wielding swords and flying rainbows in the sky, there are always strange beasts pulling carts on the streets on the ground, and there is an endless stream of people coming and going.
This large-scale auction held every five years attracted the attention of many monks from the northern Song Dynasty and the southern Yan Dynasty.
Among them are many large sects and aristocratic cultivators, as well as some small sects and casual cultivators who were invited to come because of their high cultivation or reputation.
Those who did not receive the invitation must pay a deposit and prove their worth and cultivation before they can enter the venue.
It is said that there are more than 100 mid-level and above spiritual objects in this auction, and there are more than ten treasures that can be the finale in previous years!
Lin Shan also followed Mr. Zhang into a box above the second floor of the auction house. As the organizer's chief appraiser, Mr. Zhang could naturally be assigned an independent box, but he had to go down and preside over the auction.
So when the conference started later, Lin Shan was the only one left in the box.
Sitting alone in the box, he looked at the crowds in the auction house below, probably as many as a thousand monks. Except for a few who came in through some means, most of them were monks in the late stages of Qi training.
Lin Shan also had to sigh that the world of cultivating immortals was indeed full of talents. What's more, these are only some of the monks in the northern Song Dynasty and the southern Yan Dynasty.
The private rooms on the second, third, fourth, and fifth floors are basically all people from cultivating sects and aristocratic families, or are casual cultivators in the foundation-building stage, and there may even be monks in the golden elixir stage.
Lin Shan couldn't help but think when he saw Mr. Zhang presiding over the opening remarks on the auction stage. If I succeed him in the future, I won't have to go on stage to host the auction every year, right?
He felt a little frightened when he thought about facing so many people, including many monks in the foundation-building elixir stage.
"Let's start with the first auction item this time, the mid-level magic weapon, the fire-proofing robe!"
Mr. Zhang didn't talk too much and started to auction the first item directly. The monks in the audience were very considerate and supported him and raised the price.
……
Lin Shan sat quietly in the box, sipping tea and watching the monks on the stage compete for price. After all, he didn't have a single spiritual stone now, so the precious spiritual objects on the field were naturally out of reach for him.
But the most indispensable thing in this world is rich people. As the auction continues, one treasure after another is brought up.
Someone even spent 1,000 spirit stones to take a picture of a peony parrot in the middle stage of Qi training, just for viewing!
Someone else bought a can of deep-sea blue whale blubber for 1,500 spirit stones just to go back and cook!
Lin Shan almost wanted to tell him that blue whales are an internationally recognized endangered species, so don't mess around! However, in an instant, I realized that there are probably more monsters in this world than people. It is still open to debate which of the rare species is human and monsters.
But what's even more outrageous is that there is even a slave trade in the auction house. A mermaid from the East China Sea, a snake girl from the Western Desert, a witch from southern Xinjiang, and even a princess from the Great Yan Kingdom in the north were all kidnapped and auctioned off!
"The third princess of the Dayan royal family practiced magic skills and killed mortals indiscriminately. Now she has been captured alive by an elder from a certain sect of Dayan and planted a divine soul magical weapon lock. This girl's advanced cultivation of Qi can not only look after homes and courtyards, but also heat water. Bed, base price is 1,000 spirit stones!" Mr. Zhang, as the chief appraiser and also the auction host, enthusiastically promotes each item and will also inform him of its origin in detail.
For example, on Princess Dayan's side, there is nothing wrong with practicing magic skills. Unlike the Song Kingdom, many people in the Yan country practice magic skills, but killing too many mortals indiscriminately violates the iron rules of the world of cultivation!
After all, mortals are the root. If a monk kills indiscriminately and does not strictly stop it, more and more monks will follow his example, and then the fate of the human race will be messed up?
Therefore, the Princess of Dayan was captured and there was irrefutable evidence. The Dayan royal family could only hold their noses and admit it, but the Song royal family was happy!
"2000 spirit stones!"
The imperial family of the Song Dynasty also had monks from the foundation-building period present, and the voice of an old man came from the third-floor box! Others backed down one after another, knowing that the secular world of Song Dynasty and Dayan Dynasty were now incompatible with each other, so naturally they did not want to join in the fun.
"Congratulations to the fellow Taoist on the third floor who used 2000 spirit stones to photograph the female cultivator in the late stage of Qi training, Princess Dayan!"
……
At this time, in the private room on the third floor, an old man in yellow robe was sitting on a wicker chair. Next to him, a man and a woman were standing with bows. It was Princess Guo and the middle-aged man in Jinyi!
These two people were originally the crown princes of the royal family. They met senior members of the Song Dynasty royal family in Yichuan, so they naturally took a ride and came to the auction to learn more.
"After the auction, I am going to visit the Murong family, a family of immortal cultivators. The two of you will take this Princess Dayan back to the palace and hand it over to Your Majesty. Do you understand?" the old man in yellow robe, who is also the foundation-building monk of the royal family, ordered. .
Princess Guo and the other two quickly took orders.
……
In the middle of the auction, the atmosphere became increasingly heated.
Finally, the "Foundation Building Pill" that most monks in the late stage of Qi training were most looking forward to appeared.
"There are 110 Foundation Establishment Pills in total. Every 20 pills are divided into five parts and shot together. The remaining 10 pills are shot individually!"
"The starting price is three thousand spirit stones for one piece!"
After Mr. Zhang finished speaking, a maid brought five medicine bottles and ten jade boxes on the stage.
Everyone's enthusiasm was ignited, including Lin Shan on the second floor. After all, there is a huge difference between the Qi training period and the foundation building period. One is still moving on the land, and the other is already wielding the sword Qingming.
The difference between immortals and mortals is like a chasm!
The first five medicine bottles each contain 20 foundation-building pills. You don’t need to ask to know that they have long been divided among several immortal cultivating families. The ten jade boxes at the back are the battlefield for the casual cultivators.
Seeing the fierce competition below, Lin Shan could only watch helplessly. The last ten Foundation Establishment Pills were almost all sold for around five or six thousand spirit stones.
"It seems that there are also rich people among the casual cultivators!"
Lin Shan sighed secretly and counted his monthly salary on his fingers. The chief appraiser earns 100 spiritual stones a month, and if he works for five or six years, he can still earn a foundation-building pill?
Lin Shan couldn't help but be secretly grateful to Mr. Zhang for providing him with such a good opportunity. This was a kindness that he would have to repay in the future.
……
Lin Shan gradually paid less and less attention to the subsequent auction, after all, he had never heard of many of them. And he couldn't touch it in person. Without the enhanced panel introduction, his eyes were still dark.
When it was his turn to send in the "Purple Spirit Fruit Core" for photography, Lin Shan finally got excited.
