Chapter 86 The Auction Begins
Three days have passed, and the triennial Luoyunfang Market Fair is about to begin.
In the past few days, the number of monks in Luoyunfang City has doubled. Except for the monks who cannot escape, all the monks who have not practiced in seclusion will come to participate in the auction.
After all, it happens only once every three years, and every time there are treasures that are hard to see.
Although many monks below the fifth level of cultivation do not have much purchasing power, they still like to join in the fun. It is also good to broaden their horizons.
Lin Tianming and Lin Xingzhi walked out of the Baobao Building together and walked towards the auction venue in the middle of Fangshi.
The scattered monks all walked towards the auction. There were men and women, with varying levels of cultivation. The whole market became lively.
In half a quarter of an hour, Lin Tianming and his two men appeared at the entrance of the auction.
Lin Tianming participated in the auction in Luoyunfang City for the first time and couldn't help but look at the huge building in front of him.
What catches the eye is a three-story circular stone hall, covering an area of dozens of acres. A huge stone door hangs a plaque with the three characters "auction" engraved on it.
There are already more than ten monks queuing up at the entrance, and two auction deacons are collecting the spiritual stones that have entered the auction.
Lin Xingzhi led Lin Tianming directly past the monks lining up and walked towards the venue.
I saw Lin Xingzhi showing a cyan token with a few small characters on it. The deacon glanced at it twice and let him go. The two of them disappeared in the envious eyes of everyone.
After Lin Tianming inquired, it turned out that the city managers of the five major families had a token that allowed five monks to enter directly, and there was also a VIP room covering an area of several square meters.
Entering the inner area of the auction house, there is a circular table in the middle, surrounded by hundreds of seats. It is an ordinary area of the auction house, and nearly half of the seats are occupied.
Lin Xingzhi took Lin Tianming to a VIP room on the second floor. After entering, Lin Xingzhi said to Lin Tianming:
"Tianming, I'm going to submit the grand finale prepared by the family. I'll be back soon. You can rest here for a while!”
“Yes!”
After saying that, Lin Xingzhi turned around and left the VIP room and walked to the depths of the second floor.
Lin Tianming, who had nothing to do, was sitting in the VIP room, looking at the auction.
There are also dozens of VIP rooms on the second floor of the auction, all of which have the function of isolating spiritual detection. The layout of the entire auction is not much different from that of Qiankawabo City, it is almost a miniature version.
A quarter of an hour passed, and as the seats at the venue gradually filled up, Lin Xingzhi also returned to the VIP room.
The two chatted, and Lin Tianming was also very curious and asked what kind of treasure the family provided as the finale.
Seeing that Lin Tianming was a little interested, he started talking.
“The family attaches great importance to this fair, and the finale is a set of five first-grade high-grade spirit swords, which were refined by Uncle Fifteen!”
Lin Tianming didn't seem surprised when he heard Lin Xingzhi's explanation.
Think about it, the Lin family’s Qing Ling Bamboo is a good weapon training material, and their specialty is spiritual weapons. Although there are many elixirs, they will not sell those elixirs with greater effects at this time. .
Therefore, taking out the spiritual weapon is also expected.
Think about it cost 2,000 good deeds to refine twenty Earthly Evil Swords just to buy the Qingling Bamboo. The set of five Spiritual Swords are all first-class top-grade and are of high value. They are used as a finale. things are enough.
A quarter of an hour later, hundreds of seats were filled, and a man in gray robe stepped onto the table in the middle.
Lin Xingzhi sat aside and introduced Lin Tianming.
This person's name is Chen Chong, a professional auctioneer and a casual practitioner of Qi Refining Dzogchen who was specially invited by Fangshi.
As the auction house gradually became quiet, Chen Chong cupped his fists and said.
“Fellow Taoists, I am Chen Chong, I have been invited to host this auction. Welcome everyone here!”
“Everyone knows the rules, the one with the highest price gets the spiritual stone. If it's not enough, you can use the treasure as collateral. Okay, without further ado, the auction will begin now!" After speaking, Chen Chong took out a ring-shaped treasure from his storage bag and showed it to the monks present.
“The first auction item is a first-level high-grade spirit beast ring. It has a space of hundreds of feet and is divided into several areas. It can accommodate several monsters at the same time. It is very rare. Don’t miss it. !”
“The starting price is eighty spiritual stones, and each increase must not be less than five spiritual stones!”
“Ninety spiritual stones…”
"Ninety-five spiritual stones..."
As soon as Chen Chong finished speaking, monks immediately started bidding.
It is actually a top-grade spirit beast ring. This item is rare and is a must-have for monks who like to raise spirit beasts. Generally, it is only sold in medium-sized markets like Qianchuanfang City. It was quickly sold Sold out.
Lin Tianming also wants to bid for this thing. The spirit beast bag Lin Shilu gave him before was the lowest spirit beast bag. After containing the purple golden eagle, there is not much space left. If the purple golden eagle continues to grow, , it’s hard to tolerate it.
With several rounds of bidding, the price of the spirit beast ring quickly soared to one hundred and thirty spirit stones.
"One hundred and sixty spiritual stones..."
Hearing Lin Tianming's bidding, which increased by thirty spiritual stones in one go, the whole place was in an uproar, and many monks sighed with emotion.
"They should be from the five major families. They are really wealthy. One hundred and fifty spiritual stones can buy how many Lingyuan pills to practice!"
Sure enough, an increase of thirty spiritual stones at once. Everyone in the audience was shocked.
A few breaths passed without any monks bidding, but Lin Tianming successfully bid.
Took out one hundred and sixty spirit stones and threw them at Chen Chong. After confirming that they were correct, he threw the spirit beast ring back and was caught by Lin Tianming.
Picking up the spirit beast ring, Lin Tianming couldn't put it down and looked at it.
The first auction ended, and the extremely high price aroused a warm atmosphere, which was considered a good start.
Chen Chong continues to host the auction.
“The second lot, a first-level mid-grade spiritual weapon, the Diamond Sword, is powerful. The base price is seventy spiritual stones. Each increase in price shall not be less than three spiritual stones.”
“ Seventy-five spiritual stones..."
"One hundred and five spiritual stones..."
...
Lin Tianming had no interest in the spiritual treasures and only watched many monks bidding in the VIP room.
Although Lin Tianming looked down on him, some monks below the fifth level of Qi Refining were still pretty good. The competition was fierce. In the end, the deal was settled with one hundred and ten spiritual stones, and was sold to a fifth-level Qi Refining monk. The monk took the picture.
Lin Tianming was very surprised by the price. A first-level mid-grade spiritual weapon was only worth 80 spiritual stones. A better quality spiritual weapon was worth 100 spiritual stones. Unexpectedly, it was worth 110 yuan.
I can't help but sigh that all the items in this small market are more expensive than those in medium and large markets.
Retracted his thoughts and continued to observe the auction.
An hour later, dozens of lots have been auctioned, and none of them have failed, and the atmosphere in the entire venue has become increasingly lively.
During this period, Lin Tianming spent hundreds of spiritual stones and took photos of several elixirs, which were the main ingredients for refining the powerful pill.
Lin Xingzhi also took photos of several treasures, and both of them gained something.
As time passed, the auction came to an end, and only the last ten items were left.
