Chapter 200: The Name of the Lin Family
A few days later, the Fangshi auction was held as scheduled.
At this time, Qianchuanfang City was extremely popular, and the number of people visiting it increased by twice as much as usual.
On this day, Lin Tianming came out of seclusion, and together with Lin Xingping, led a group of tribesmen out of the cave and walked towards the location of the auction.
The momentum of the team of several people, coupled with the vague auras of Lin Tianming and Lin Xingping, attracted the attention of many monks.
Some familiar Qi Refining cultivators took the initiative to say hello to Lin Tianfeng and others. Lin Tianfeng returned the greetings one by one without being humble or arrogant, which flattered many casual cultivators.
It wasn't until they disappeared into the crowd that some unknown casual cultivators made inquiries with the surrounding monks, asking about the origins and background of this group of people.
The monk who just greeted Lin Tianfeng chuckled, and then showed an unexpected expression and said:
"Fellow Taoist has been in seclusion for a long time, and he still hasn't been to Qianchuanfang City for more than ten years. Have you never heard of the Lin family in Yunshan Mountain?”
Hearing this, the monk who asked had an embarrassed look on his face, and then said:
"Feng Meng, I haven't been to Qianchuanfang City for a long time. I have been moving around Liuyunfang City before, so I have no information!"
"I wonder if the Lin family in Luoyun Mountains is the comet that rose more than ten years ago. The Lin family of Qingzhushan?”
Before he finished speaking, a person in the crowd The Qi Refining monk said with an aweful look and tone: "It is the Lin family that Fellow Daoist Feng said!"
After hearing this, Feng Meng suddenly realized that he remembered that the Lin family rose quietly ten years ago. Only after uprooting the once dominant Jin family did the Lin family's overall strength become apparent.
In addition, Luoyun Pavilion has become famous in Fang City in recent years. The treasures it sells are of high quality and low price. It also helps monks refine elixirs and has accumulated a lot of popularity and favor.
In addition, Lin Tianfeng is good at making friends and has met a large number of monks. After several years of maintenance, almost everyone in Luoyun Pavilion is now known. This has also brought the Lin family behind Luoyun Pavilion to the surface, further expanding the influence of the Lin family.
In addition to Feng Meng, some other casual cultivators who did not know the details of the Lin family showed awe in their faces and inquired about the various deeds of the Lin family with the monks beside them.
The knowledgeable monks also happily told various deeds and rumors about the Lin family, further spreading the influence of the Lin family.
But Lin Tianming and his party had already gone far away and had no idea about this matter.
The group of people walked on the Qingshi Street, Lin Tianqin and Lin Tianyue chattering and asking questions, while Lin Tianfeng on the side patiently introduced various things about the city to the two golden flowers of the family.
Lin Tianming chatted with Lin Xingping, and led his clan members to follow the flow of people, heading towards the Fangshi Auction.
Soon, several people arrived at the square in front of the auction.
At this time, a large number of monks were lining up in a long line, handing over the spirit stones in an orderly manner before being released by the deacon of the city.
Lin Tianming and several others crossed the team and walked inside.
Walking to Deacon Fangshi, Lin Xingping directly took out the shop token of Luoyun Pavilion and handed it to Deacon Fangshi.
Seeing the Luoyun Pavilion token, the deacon's expression suddenly changed, and then he said respectfully:
"It turns out that the senior and junior Song Yunzhi of the Lin family has received instructions from Uncle Li. If the comrades of the Lin family come to participate The auction can be released directly, and two expensive people will be arranged for Senior Lin. Guest room!”
Hearing this, Lin Tianming chuckled. He didn’t expect that Li Xiuyuan cared so much about the Lin family. Although the two VIP rooms didn’t have many spirit stones, given his status, arranging two VIP rooms was just a matter of words. It's a superficial thing, but this idea of showing friendship is indeed very useful.
But even so, they couldn't just ignore the rules openly and let Li Xiuyuan get into trouble.
Thinking of this, he quickly took out two hundred spiritual stones, handed them to Song Yunzhi, and then said:
"Fellow Daoist Li is too polite. I accept it on behalf of the Lin family out of his kindness. However, the rules of the market cannot be broken. We have reserved two VIP rooms for these spiritual stones. The rest will be used to buy some spiritual wine for Song Xiaoyou and your fellow disciples." , after the auction is over, I’ll treat Mr. Li Daoyou to a drink. "Lingjiu."
"Haha... Then the junior has thanked Senior Lin!"
Song Yunzhi nodded and clasped his fists in thanks, then took the spirit stone respectfully, and then ordered the two people beside him. A female cultivator from the third level of Qi Refining was responsible for leading them.
Seeing this, Lin Tianming chuckled and said cheerfully:
"Okay... the few friends can often go to Luoyun Pavilion to sit down and exchange cultivation experiences with the younger generations of our Lin family. ! ”
"Junior and fellow Taoist Lin Tianfeng have known each other for a long time, and they will definitely come to bother us someday!" Song Yunzhi said.
After speaking, Lin Tianming nodded and led a group of tribesmen into the auction house following the female Qi Refining Cultivator in front.
As a few people left, the monks in line began to whisper, and many monks showed envious expressions.
In the world of cultivating immortals, this is a manifestation of strength. Those powerful foundation-building families or monks who have been famous for a long time will not ignore even the strength of the golden elixir.
Although Fangshi has rules, in order to win over those powerful foundation-building families, it will often provide some conveniences, and this is tacitly stated.
In the lobby on the first floor of the auction, after Lin Tianming gave Lin Tianfeng a few instructions, he and Lin Xingping went straight to the second floor and finally entered a VIP room.
The two of them took their seats, and the female cultivator who led the way waited respectfully at the entrance.
Since there was still some time before the auction, Lin Shilu took out the spirit tea, and the two started chatting while drinking tea.
At this time, there was a burst of noise in the auction hall, and the two of them also shifted their gaze.
Looking around, most of the monks were already sitting on the seats in the public area. Some of them were dressed in strange clothes, and they didn't look like people from the Wei Kingdom's world of immortality.
In addition, the cultivation level is also uneven. There are masters who are above the seventh level of foundation building, and there are also a few with chaotic auras, as if they have just broken through the foundation building stage and have not had time to consolidate their cultivation level.
Seeing the various costumes and the news exchanged between the monks, Lin Tianming and the two smiled at each other and talked about the situation of the world of immortality in various countries.
A quarter of an hour after the auction, as the seats in the auction house were filled with monks, an old man walked out from behind the curtain. It turned out to be Xue Chong, who had hosted the auction before. Go to the high platform.
As the old man appeared, the noisy scene gradually calmed down. Occasionally, a few monks spoke and greeted Xue Chong.
Xue Chong looked calm and always had a smile on his face. He bowed to the hundreds of monks below and the surrounding private rooms, and then said;
"Xue Chong, the old Taoist, was invited to preside over the foundation building auction today. Many of you are old acquaintances, and many of them have participated in the auction many times. As for the rules, I believe that the old Taoist will not tell you. Everyone knows it, so I won't talk about it anymore. Repeated!"
"Haha... this time it's a treasure. The items are all rare treasures. Many fellow Taoists have long been unable to wait, so we will not go around the bush and start the auction of the first item.”
After saying this, a fiery red card appeared in the old man’s hand. Fu Yan, surrounded by dazzling spiritual light, looks very powerful.
"A second-level mid-grade defensive talisman, with a base price of one thousand spiritual stones, and each increase in price shall not be less than twenty spiritual stones."
Before the words fell, there was a sudden noise on the scene. Several monks started bidding, and they were all monks below the third level of foundation building.
"One thousand and fifty spiritual stones!"
"One thousand and eighty spiritual stones!"
The first lot is a second-level mid-grade defensive talisman, a mid-grade The value of the defensive talisman is not low, and it is not easy to buy. In Qianchuanfang City, it is only available in some big stores, and the price is not low.
As the first treasure in the opening ceremony, the price of this talisman has continued to rise. It can be seen that the auction house attaches great importance to this auction.
Lin Tianming and Lin Tianming were sitting in the private room chatting, looking at the heated scene below. He had a lot of second-level talismans on him, and there were as many as five defensive talismans, which was enough for a short time. It was used, so he had no intention of bidding, but Lin Xingping seemed to have the intention to bid.
Seeing this situation, Lin Tianming laughed and said to Lin Xingping:
"Uncle Clan, middle-grade defensive talismans are rare, and the power of this talisman looks good. It looks like drawing this talisman The level of the monks is not low. If you like it, don't give up! "" Well, let's take a look first. If the price is right, you can bid..." Lin Xingping replied.
At this moment, the price of the second-level mid-grade defensive talisman reached one thousand three hundred and twenty spiritual stones.
This price has exceeded the value of the general second-level mid-grade defense talisman. There are fewer and fewer monks bidding below, and only two people are still insisting.
Seeing that the two people bidding were hesitant, Lin Xingping also opened his bidding for the first time.
“One thousand three hundred and eighty spiritual stones!”
As Lin Xingping raised the price significantly, the monks who had been bidding seemed to have given up their intention to continue bidding.
No one continued to raise the price for several seconds, and Xue Chong announced on the spot that the first lot was sold.
Lin Xingping prepared the spirit stones and completed the transaction with Xue Chong across the ban. The two parties obtained the spirit stones and the auction items from each other.
The first treasure sold at a high price, Lin Xingping was quite satisfied, and Xue Chong continued to preside over the auction.
“The second treasure is an adult millet tree with a second-level spiritual material. It is an excellent material for refining weapons. The base price is three hundred and fifty spiritual stones. Each increase in price must not be less than ten spiritual stones. . ”
The first treasure set off the atmosphere, but the second one was much inferior, but there were still many monks vying to bid.
“Three hundred and seventy spiritual stones!”
……
The monks below were still bidding fiercely. Neither Lin Tianming nor Lin Xingping knew how to practice weapons, so naturally they had no idea of bidding. They drank the spiritual tea and just looked on, happily.
The second treasure was snapped up by a monk on the third floor of the foundation for 540 spiritual stones.
The hot auction continues, and in a blink of an eye it’s time to reach the last ten items.
Hundreds of treasures have been auctioned successively, almost all of which are second-level spiritual objects, including a lot of elixir materials, various spiritual mineral materials, and various monster beast bodies.
During this period, Lin Tianming spent more than three thousand spiritual stones and bought several elixir materials, all of which were rare and precious varieties.
In addition, Lin Shilu was busy with his cultivation and had no time to attend the auction. He deliberately bought two fist-sized pieces of black iron and prepared to give them to Lin Shilu for refining.
After all, his old man is very generous to him. He even tried his best to refine the Earthly Sword and the Tiangang Sword for him. He also repaired his magic weapons many times. I don’t know how many treasures he has attached to him. .
Now that I have such an opportunity, I naturally want to express my gratitude.
Lin Xingping also took action several times and took some pretty good treasures to further strengthen his own strength.
With the completion of the auction of ordinary objects, the finale that everyone has been waiting for is coming.
After a short rest, Xue Chong took out a jade box again and opened it.
I saw a fist-sized spiritual fruit lying in the jade box in Xue Chong's hand. The entire spiritual fruit looked crystal clear and exuded an alluring aroma.
It turned out to be another Flame Fruit. He had successfully bid for one before at a high price of 2,100 spiritual stones.
The effect of this flame fruit is good, and he has never forgotten it. Unexpectedly, another one will appear as the finale of this auction.
However, you can only take one flame fruit. If you take it repeatedly, the effect will be greatly reduced, which is really a pity.
Just when he was lost in thought, many monks in the auction house had rosy faces and their breathing suddenly became rapid.
This flame fruit is not attractive to the monks who have taken it, but more than 90% of the monks are salivating about it, including Lin Xingping.
As expected, just after Xue Chong announced the starting price, more than a dozen monks immediately competed to bid. After more than ten rounds of bidding, the price of the Flame Fruit had reached more than 1,600 spiritual stones. And it continues to rise.
At this time, Lin Xingping looked firm and determined to get this result, so he immediately joined the bidding.
“One thousand, seven hundred and twenty spiritual stones!”
He raised a hundred spiritual stones in one go, causing many monks on the field to secretly speculate.
But even so, there are still several monks who don’t want to give up easily. After all, this flame fruit is very rare and rarely seen. It can only appear during market gatherings. Once you miss this opportunity, you will It will take several years.
“One thousand, six hundred and fifty spiritual stones!”
“One thousand, seven hundred spiritual stones!”
……
The price continued to rise. After several rounds of bidding, the price of the Flame Fruit had reached more than 1,900 spiritual stones and was about to break through the 2,000 spiritual stones mark.
At this time, at such a price, most of the monks had given up their intention to continue bidding.
Lin Xingping seemed destined to win. After the last round of prices came out, he immediately opened the bidding, and every time he raised the price, it was more than dozens of spiritual stones, suppressing some hesitant monks. .
“Two thousand three hundred and fifty spiritual stones!”
After three rounds of bidding, when he shouted out the price, the only two remaining monks who bid did not raise their bids.
Five breaths passed, and when no one continued to bid, Xue Chong bowed towards the VIP room where Lin Tianming was, and then announced the bidding results.
Lin Xingping breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Xue Chong announced the results and that his bid was successful.
Surprised, he quickly took out 2,350 spirit stones and completed the transaction with Xue Chong across the restricted area.
In the VIP room, Lin Xingping looked excited. He picked up the blood-red flame fruit and observed it with admiration.
The first final treasure was sold at a high price of 2,350 yuan, which made all the monks in the audience excited.
This price is more than 200 spiritual stones higher than when Lin Tianming bid for the Flame Fruit. Obviously, the transaction price of the same treasure at the auction of the large gathering is higher than that of the small gathering. .
But Lin Xingping didn't care at all, even if it was more expensive, he wouldn't hesitate. After all, treasures are rare. If you miss it this time, you don't know when the next one will be.
