Chapter 161 Making Friends
The hot auction continues.
The first final treasure was sold at a high price of 2,100 yuan, which made all the monks in the audience excited.
Xue Chong is very satisfied. If he hosts this auction, he will get a generous reward.
As the atmosphere at the scene gradually eased, Xue Chong immediately took out the treasure he had prepared in advance, which was the second final item.
Looking around, a fiery red spiritual sword appeared in his hand, about three feet long. The sword was surrounded by weak sword energy. It was definitely an offensive weapon.
Seeing this object, many monks' eyes flashed with fiery light.
Xue Chong waved his hand with one hand, waved the sword casually, and then began to introduce.
“The second final item is a second-order low-grade magic weapon called Fire Cloud Sword. It has powerful attack power and is considered a high-quality product among second-order low-grade magic weapons. The base price is three thousand spirit stones. Each increase in price must not be less than twenty spiritual stones."
As soon as he finished speaking, a monk on the third floor of the public area couldn't wait to shout out the price.
"Three thousand one hundred spirit stones."
The first price appeared, and an old man on the fourth floor of the foundation sneered:
"This bidding is too slow, why waste time , I offered 3,500 spiritual stones.”
The old man raised hundreds of spiritual stones in one breath, which indeed made some monks who were eager to try give up their intention to bid.
Second-level magic weapons are not easy to refine and are very precious in the world of immortality. Many monks in the early stages of foundation building have spent all their wealth and even incurred debts just to build the foundation.
The monks who have just established a foundation are usually not very wealthy, so it is difficult for many monks in the early or even middle stages of foundation building to own a magic weapon.
Because of this, many monks in the early stages of foundation building participated in the auction specifically for the second-level magic weapon.
Although the old man raised the price significantly, there are still many people who will not give up easily. After all, the auction recognizes spiritual stones, and whoever pays the highest price will get the treasure.
“Thirty-six hundred spiritual stones.” A middle-aged monk on the second floor of the foundation shouted loudly.
“Thirty-seven hundred spiritual stones.”
...
Lin Tianming and the other three were sitting in the private room, watching the fierce bidding among the monks below, as if they were watching a good show.
They did not bid a price during the whole process and had no intention of bidding.
After all, Lin Shilu and Ye Pinghai are both monks who entered the foundation building very early. Lin Shilu is a second-level weapon refiner, and Ye Pinghai is a second-level high-level alchemy master. They are extremely rich and have already owned a second-level magic weapon. , and the other grades are not low either.
Lin Tianming even used a set of spiritual swords and a second-level mid-grade Tiangang Sword to display his magical powers. Although this Fire Cloud Sword was good, it was useless to him. More importantly, He had limited spiritual stones, so after taking the Flame Fruit, he only had more than two thousand spiritual stones left in his body.
The bidding scene at this time was extremely hot, and the price was also rising rapidly, and soon reached 4,400 spiritual stones.
At this time, the price of the Fire Cloud Sword had already reached a premium. Some monks who were cash-strapped had already given up their plans to bid. There were only two monks left in the audience who were still competing. It was the second monk who was building the foundation. The monks on the upper floors and the old man who raised prices crazily.
The two monks who were still bidding competed with each other, neither one wanted to give up.
Hearing that the middle-aged monk had raised fifty spiritual stones again, the old man's face looked a little ugly.
Thinking of the thousands of spiritual stones he had worked so hard to accumulate, he shouted to the monks bidding:
"Fellow Daoist Zhu, give me some face. How about giving this sword to me?"
"Humph, the rule of the auction is that the one with the highest bid gets it. If you don't have the spirit stone, don't participate." The monk surnamed Zhu didn't give any face. He directly rejected the old man's request.
I originally thought that his cultivation was two levels higher than that of the monk surnamed Zhu. Since he opened his mouth, the monk surnamed Zhu would take the initiative to retreat. However, he did not expect that he would not give him any face and did not take him seriously at all. This surprised the old man.
Seeing that the monk surnamed Zhu did not give him face, the old man became angry and threatened:
"Okay, okay, the days are long. Fellow Daoist Zhu had better be careful when going out to avoid any accidents."
"Four thousand six hundred spiritual stones."
"Four thousand seven hundred spiritual stones,"
The monk surnamed Zhu remained unmoved at all and continued to raise the price.
Time passes by.
At this time, the old man's face turned red. He scanned the spirit stones in the storage bag and stopped raising the price. Apparently, he gave up the bidding completely.
Seeing that there was no movement from the two competing men, Xue Chong announced the bidding results in public.
The monk surnamed Zhu took out the spirit stone and handed it to Xue Chong with a smile on his face, and then obtained the Fire Cloud Sword.
But the old man's face was red and his eyes were fierce. He wanted to cut the monk surnamed Zhu into pieces after losing face.
Seeing the old man's appearance, Xue Chong's face turned cold, and then he said:
"Fellow Daoist Xu, this is an auction. If you have any grievances, please leave the market to resolve them yourself."
< br>
After hearing Xue Chong's reminder, the old man surnamed Xu forcibly suppressed his inner restlessness. No one dared to cause trouble in Fang City. Knowing the consequences, he sat down and said nothing.
Xue Chong nodded, and then continued to host the auction.
Time passed slowly, and soon an hour passed.
During this period, seven treasures have been auctioned in succession, among which a Huntian Pill was sold at a high price.
The other treasures are not ordinary. There are also two second-level magic weapons, some precious elixir materials, a yellow-level skill, and a foundation-building pill.
The Huangpin Gongfa was photographed by a monk in a private room for 23,000 spiritual stones, and the Foundation Establishment Pill was photographed in another private room for 31,000 spiritual stones. All treasures were auctioned at high prices.
In the finale, Lin Shilu did not take action. Although he still coveted the Foundation Establishment Pill when he entered the house, he watched the monks in several private rooms fiercely fight for it and considered how to safely send it back to the family. For As far as the Lin family is concerned, it is simply a hot potato, and Lin Shilu can only give up.
Ye Pinghai, on the other hand, spent thousands of spirit stones and took photos of two third-level elixir materials without blinking an eye. From this point of view, the second-level high-grade alchemist is indeed very wealthy.
It was now the end of the auction, and only the last treasure was left to be auctioned.
The last thing in the finale has always been the most precious treasure.
All the monks sitting here were all staring at the last thing, and many monks watching the show were looking forward to it.
There is almost no need to think about the final item in the aura refining field. It is definitely the foundation-building pill or other foundation-building spiritual objects.
This was Lin Tianming’s first time to participate in the foundation auction, and he was also curious about what kind of treasure it would be.
After the monks on the scene calmed down, Xue Chong did not take any detours and directly took out a jade box and opened it so that all the monks could see the items in the jade box.
Lin Tianming looked intently and saw a jade slip placed in the jade box. Due to the restriction, he didn't know whether it was a technique or a classic.
"Fellow Daoist Xue, what exactly is this jade slip?" the monk on the field asked.
Xue Chong smiled at the monks present, and then started to introduce them.
"The tenth final item is a water attribute Xuanpin Kung Fu called "Thousand Water Jue", which comes with magical attack and defense. It is very powerful. The base price is 40,000 spirit stones. No increase is allowed each time. Less than fifty spiritual stones.”
< br>"Xuanpin Kung Fu?"
This has not appeared for a long time. The foundation building pills and techniques in the small gathering will decrease sharply, and Xuanpin Kung Fu is even rarer. Many monks thought that It only happens once a decade in a big gathering.
Lin Tianming and Lin Shilu were also a little surprised, but they were not interested. After all, the starting price was 40,000 spirit stones. You can imagine how high the transaction price would be. In addition, the Lin family has already collected all the Xuanpin skills of the five elements. Bu Xuanpin Kung Fu is not that rare.
However, their ideas are different from those families that lack the water attribute Xuanpin Kung Fu. Sure enough, when Xue Chong finished introducing the technique, prices were immediately announced from private rooms, but soon new private rooms joined the bidding.
“Forty-one thousand five hundred spiritual stones!”
“Forty-two thousand spiritual stones!”
...
The prices continued to rise, and every price was reported from the private room by those who did not know the power background. The hundreds of monks sitting in the entire auction hall were all spectators.
“Forty-seven thousand spiritual stones!”
When the price came out, it was more than 10,000 spiritual stones higher than the Foundation Establishment Pill, and a large number of monks were shocked.
Lin Tianming was also shocked. This was also the first time he witnessed the successful auction of Xuanpin Kung Fu.
After more than ten rounds of competition, the Xuanpin Kung Fu was successfully auctioned by a monk in a private room for 47,000 spiritual stones.
Xue Chong completed the handover of spiritual stones and techniques among the monks in the private room who had successfully bid.
At this time, all the final items have been successfully auctioned. In addition to the nearly 100 kinds of conventional spiritual items, there is no first-rate auction for so many treasures.
Xue Chong looked excited. The auction was a complete success and he could get a large salary.
After his mood calmed down, Xue Chong cupped his fists and bowed to the many monks below.
"Thank you all for participating. The bidding for all the treasures has been completed. This auction is coming to an end. See you all!"
Hearing Xue Chong's announcement that it was over, some familiar monks greeted each other and then left. Auction.
In the private room, Lin Tianming and the other three were still sitting and chatting, and did not leave immediately. They were still waiting to participate in the exchange meeting between the Foundation Establishment monks.
Half a quarter of an hour passed, and most of the monks in the venue were there, but there were still more than ten monks left in place.
After scanning the venue, Ye Pinghai said to Lin Shilu:
"It's almost done, Brother Lin, let's go!"
Lin Shilu nodded and followed Ye Pinghai out of the private room.
The Qi Refining monk who had been waiting outside saw the three people coming out and immediately greeted them.
Lin Shilu waved his hand, and ten spiritual stones appeared out of thin air in the hands of the Qi Refining monk.
Seeing the spiritual stone given by Lin Shilu, the Qi Refining monk was overjoyed and thanked him repeatedly.
"Thank you to the three seniors!"
Lin Shilu nodded, and the three of them ignored them and walked directly past the Qi Refining monks and walked deeper into the passage.
More than ten rests passed, and the three of them passed through several corridors. Since Ye Pinghai had been stationed in Fang City for a long time and had participated in many auctions and exchange meetings, he led the way. The three of them appeared outside a private room.
He pinched it with one hand and sent a summons into the confinement of the private room.
In less than a breath, the ban on the private room opened a hole, and the three of them walked in together.
The three of them entered a large private room, where more than a dozen monks were already sitting, and many familiar monks started chatting.
Lin Tianming also looked at the many monks. He found that except for him, all the monks in the private room were at least five levels of foundation building.
It can be seen that the exchange meeting that Ye Pinghai brought them to has obviously a relatively high level of cultivation. It should not be a meeting place for monks who are in the early stages of foundation building.
Seeing Ye Pinghai come in, many monks stood up quickly and took the initiative to greet Ye Pinghai, who seemed to be very familiar with him.
Ye Pinghai also returned the gifts one by one, and then introduced Lin Tianming in front of many monks.
"Comrades, these two Taoist friends Lin Shilu represent the Lin family in Luoyun Mountains. Next to them is his grandnephew. Let me introduce them to you!"
"It turns out that they are Taoist friends from the Lin family in Luoyun Mountains. I have admired them for a long time. !”
Some monks also took the initiative to greet Lin Shilu, and Lin Shilu and Lin Tianming also returned the greetings with fists in their hands, acting quite politely.
I feel that Ye Pinghai's influence is really strong, and most of the monks I know are very polite.
This is a good opportunity to make friends. If the Lin family wants to gain a foothold in Fang City, they must establish a good relationship with these advanced foundation-building monks to make the Lin family's influence greater.
The harmonious atmosphere was warm, and within a short time, Lin Tianming and his wife got to know more than ten monks, including casual monks and several family monks.
Half an hour passed.
At this time, two monks came into the private room again. One of them was Li Xiuyuan, and the other one was also dressed in Zhenyang Sect clothes, and his cultivation level had actually reached the ninth level of foundation building.
Lin Tianming guessed that the other monk should be one of the three senior deacons in Fang City.
Seeing the two people coming in, all the monks present, including Ye Pinghai, stood up to greet them and greeted Li Xiuyuan and others who came in.
"Brother Ye, Brother Lin, you two are here as expected!"
Before anyone arrived, I heard Li Xiuyuan's hearty laughter.
The other monks present were a little surprised. As a second-level high-grade alchemist, Ye Pinghai was also extremely powerful. It was reasonable for Li Xiuyuan to be polite.
But I didn’t expect Li Xiuyuan to be equally polite to this strange Lin family monk, which made those monks who didn’t make friends with Lin Shilu regret a little.
While some monks were stunned, Li Xiuyuan also opened his mouth to introduce the fellow disciples around him to Lin Shilu and the other two.
"Brother Lin, this is my fellow senior brother Song Xun. Senior brother also helped a lot with the store last time. We have one today. I can walk around more if I have the opportunity in the future!"
Lin Shilu Lin Tianming looked excited and hurriedly greeted Song Xun.
"It turns out to be Brother Song. I have heard Brother Ye and Brother Li mention it a long time ago. I am very honored to meet you today. I am grateful to Brother Song for taking care of the store last time. When I have some free time, Lin will I will definitely come to visit you.”
Song Xun waved his hand. He said with a very polite expression:
“It’s a small matter, Brother Lin, you don’t have to be so polite. In fact, I have met your brother Lin Shikang once, but I haven’t seen him for many years. I believe he will soon hit the gold medal. Dan Dao Dao!”
"Haha, it turns out that Brother Song and the clan brother are still old acquaintances. When he returns to the clan next time, Lin will definitely convey the news on behalf of Brother Song."
"As for the Golden Pill Avenue, it is not that easy, but Song At such a young age, I can quickly reach the golden elixir barrier. Lin admires me greatly."
Ting Lin. As Shi Lu said, Song Xun said with emotion:
"As Brother Lin said, how can it be so easy to attack the Jindan Avenue? Brother Wei just relied on the power of the sect and was lucky enough. That’s all, actually not worth mentioning”
Lin Shilu chuckled and said:
"That's true, but in my opinion, the three fellow Taoists are so young and have already reached the eighth or ninth level of foundation building. As long as they have the help of the heaven-defying elixir, the hope of successfully breaking through the golden elixir is not small!"
"I hope..." Song Xun shook his head, with a look of yearning in his eyes.
After a few chats, they separated temporarily, and Li Xiuyuan also chatted with other monks.
Lin Tianming and Ye Pinghai sat together, chatting with some new friends, and waiting for the exchange meeting to begin.
