In front of the stall, a man wearing a monkey mask joked to the boss: "It's a rare item, why don't you take it to the auction house?"
The boss complained: "Forget it, Quaker Auction House won't let me in at all. To be honest, I am a sea soul master. These three unicorns come from the thousand-year-old narwhal whale. Our ship went to sea not long ago."
The sea soul master comes to land to sell goods, just because he wants to sell the goods at a good price.
Ning Tianchen, however, seized on the loophole in the seller's words and questioned, "You can't even enter a formal place like an auction house, how can you find this place?"
The onlookers who reacted agreed.
"Let me see, he is probably a liar, pretending to be a sea soul master. Most likely, he wants to sell fake goods."
You can buy just about anything on the black market, but there are a lot of fakes out there.
The biggest feature of the black market is confidentiality, and sellers do not worry that buyers will cause trouble for them later.
Listening to everyone's glances and words, the seller suddenly felt anxious and tried his best to explain something.
However, these people didn't buy it. The onlookers in front of the stall quickly dispersed, leaving only Ning Tianchen and Ning Rongrong.
The boss said angrily: "Why do you interfere with my sales!"
"I have been selling things on the black market for several years. How could it be fake? I can't get into the auction house because this large-scale auction doesn't like my items."
There is still soul power on the horn, and the counterfeiting technology on Douluo Continent is far from being able to replicate the body parts of a soul beast.
These three angles are indeed real.
Ning Tianchen smiled lightly and said calmly: "Make an offer, I want all three."
In future experiences, we may have to go deep into caves or into forests. With a horn in hand, there is no need to light a torch.
It's okay to light a torch in the forest, but the smoke is very choking when you light a torch in a cave.
"You!"
The seller was very angry and finally understood Ning Tianchen's approach.
Driving all the competitors away and leaving him alone is not just haphazard bargaining.
Ning Rongrong couldn't help but laugh out loud. Ning Tianchen's move was really damaging.
"Ten thousand gold soul coins, do you want to buy it or not?" How could the seller give him such a good look?
Ning Tianchen didn't know the value of the Narwhal Moon Whale's horn, but it was only the product of a thousand-year soul beast, and the price was far less than what the other party quoted.
"Three five thousand gold soul coins." Ning Tianchen said calmly: "On land, seafood will have a premium, I don't deny it. But this price is my bottom line. If you don't agree, I can go to Hanhai City Find someone to buy it. I think the price will not be higher than what I just quoted.”
The seller was lost in thought.
Ning Tianchen accidentally guessed the value of three unicorns.
It is also the bottom line price for sellers.
But he traveled thousands of miles to a land city and sold it at the seaside price, which was a bit of a loss.
"Since you sincerely want it, I will give you five thousand five hundred gold soul coins and three horns, and I will also give you a gem."
As he spoke, he took out a palm-sized gem from his pocket that was clean and transparent and emitted blue light.
The price of the Deep Blue Heart Gem is only a few hundred gold soul coins.
Ning Rongrong likes to collect gems, and this is the first time he has seen such a large one, so he can keep it for his collection.
"Deal."
Pay the money in one hand and deliver the goods in one hand.
After receiving the payment, the seller immediately left the black market and did not stay here.
Not long after, Zhao Yi successfully sold the soul bone and rushed to join the two.
"Sold for 360,000 yuan, now the pension and military pay are available."
Wearing a mask, Ning Tianchen couldn't see clearly the other party's expression, but it could be heard from the other party's tone that he had spent a lot of time talking during this negotiation and was a little tired at the moment.
"We've finished our work, let's go back to the hotel first. I don't know how Xiaotian and the others are doing with their inquiries."
……
In the evening, Feng Xiaotian and others returned to the hotel with the news they had found.
There are many lots in this auction and the quality is extremely high, so the auction house decided to adopt a blind auction method.
That is to say, the list of lots will not be disclosed in advance, and when the auction is held, the lots will be randomly taken out of the warehouse.
There is no finale lot in this auction. For each lot, the auctioneer will remember the reserve price in advance and bid directly after taking it out.
"Blind shooting tests the guests' control over funds the most." Ning Tianchen frowned.
If you waste too much money up front, you won’t have money to bid on subsequent auctions.
Most people will have this mentality, because the prices for some of the lots at the beginning of the auction will not be too outrageous, and may even be missed out below the market price.
But once the number of lots exceeds half, the subsequent competition will be extremely fierce.
"He said random means random? If someone inside them remembers the order and reveals it to some guests, wouldn't we be very passive?" Ning Rongrong complained.
Feng Xiaotian obtained the most detailed information and explained: "The lots are placed on numbered shelves. Except for the first lot, every subsequent lot is randomly selected by the buyer of the previous lot. No. ”
"Unless the auction house is willing to take the risk of breaking trust and losing money, it should not interfere with it."
This is fair!
Next, everyone took out all their funds and handed them over to Ning Tianchen for unified control.
Zhao Yi stood up and said goodbye: "Sister, senior, my 'mission' has been completed. There are still many matters waiting for me to deal with in the city, so I will go back first."
The 360,000 gold soul coins in his hand cannot be spent carelessly. If he stays in Quaike City for one more day, he will inevitably have unnecessary expenses.
Although he wanted to experience such a large-scale auction, he was more concerned about the work in Xingnancheng.
Ning Tianchen patted his shoulder lightly without holding back, "Have a nice trip."
After Zhao Yi left, everyone continued to discuss the situation of the lots they had learned about.
Suddenly, Ning Tianchen made a gesture to let everyone continue talking, and he quietly walked to the door.
Someone outside the door is eavesdropping on their conversation. If you don't know the identity of the other party, you must be careful.
Suddenly, Ning Tianchen suddenly opened the door, and the young man who was listening on the door staggered and almost fell to the ground.
"Hey, hey, are you polite?"
The young man steadied himself, raised his head, and complained.
"Little brother, it's very impolite to eavesdrop at the door. Tell me who your adult is!" Chen Huayu rubbed his fists, trying to scare the other person.
The young man put his hands on his hips and said without any fear, "Little fat man, I give you a chance to reorganize your language."
"You're such a little kid, you still call me old man?" Ning Rongrong chuckled.
The boy has a handsome face and is very popular with girls.
When Ning Tianchen saw the other party's behavior, he suddenly thought of something and pulled the other party out of the room, "You continue to chat."
With that said, he closed the door.
"Boss knows him?" Chen Huayu was a little curious.
Feng Xiaotian shrugged and did not answer.
However, they all felt that a boy in his early ten years posed no threat.
...Outside the room, Ning Tianchen pulled the young man to the stairwell.
"Tell me, who sent you here?"
The young man held his head high and said, "I know you."
"Since you know me, why don't you introduce yourself?" Ning Tianchen asked.
The young man cleared his throat and said in a secondary voice: "Listen carefully, I am the fifth enshrined person in the enshrining hall, and I am the Light Ling Douluo."
Ning Tianchen nodded slightly.
Similar to what he had seen in his previous life, Light Ling Douluo indeed looked like a young man.
Light Ling Douluo was dumbfounded and asked anxiously: "Hey, why don't you refute me? Look at how old I am. Do you believe that I am a Titled Douluo?"
Ning Tianchen nodded again.
Light Ling Douluo was like a deflated rubber ball. The words he had prepared in his mind could not be used at this moment.
Ning Tianchen asked: "Don't talk nonsense, why did she ask you to come?"
Light Ling Douluo collected his disappointed emotions and responded: "The Great Priest asked me to come here to participate in the auction. There is something that will be of great help to the young master's cultivation."
"I'm warning you, don't grab it."
Ning Tianchen didn't feel strange.
After Qian Renxue returned to Wuhun Hall, she rose from the peak soul saint to the new angel god in just a few years. Qian Daoliu must have prepared a lot of training resources for her.
"If you don't tell me, how will I know what you want?"
Guang Ling Douluo thought about it, this is the truth.
Just when he was about to say something, Manager Liu took several guests to their floor to choose a suite.
Manager Liu was not surprised to see the two people talking here.
After all, both of them hold papal orders and most likely came from the Spirit Hall.
Light Ling Douluo took out a note from the soul guide, "It's what's above. You must remember it. I don't have much money."
"Okay!" After a quick glance, Ning Tianchen put the note into the soul guide.
"By the way, tell me about the auction situation. I am alone and haven't found any useful information."
……
There are still two days before the auction starts, and Ning Tianchen and his team continue to collect intelligence in the city.
That night, when everyone returned to the hotel to exchange information, the sound of the divine test rang in their minds.
"The fifth test of Shura, cross the deep blue sea and arrive at the other side. Note that you need to set off within half a year!"
"After the assessment is completed, you will be rewarded with 10% Shura affinity, a god-given soul ring, and the life of the soul ring will be increased by 10,000 years."
"Fail the assessment and be buried in the sea!"
The content of the divine test appeared, and everyone looked at each other in shock.
The content of the divine test did not clearly state where they were going.
The only thing I know is probably to let them go into the sea.
Quaike City is not too far from Hanhai City. After the auction is over, the next stop will be there.
Ning Tianchen guessed: "I have learned through a few words in some ancient books that there may be another continent beyond the sea. Perhaps the divine test will allow us to get there."
Yudie then said: "Now it seems that the Butterfly Valley my mother mentioned is probably in this unknown continent."
Feng Xiaotian spread his hands, "It is no exaggeration to say that our group of people are all landlubbers. There are countless sea soul beasts in the sea. It's okay near the coastline. Once we go deep into the sea, powerful soul beasts can be found everywhere."
Oscar added, "Seawater is not drinkable directly. Once we are attacked on the sea, even if we have the ability to fly, we will probably die of thirst on the way."
The most critical thing is that it is difficult to tell the direction in the sea.
They have never been in contact with the sea, and they don't know how to tell the direction through the stars.
Ning Tianchen pressed his hands and interrupted: "The more you talk, the more outrageous it becomes."
"The waves in the sea are not comparable to those in lakes. If we want to enter the deep sea, we must rent a big boat."
"There is no captain on the ship? Do I need you to pilot it?"
Chen Huayu said: "If someone had really arrived on another continent, I'm afraid this matter would have already spread on the mainland"
Although Hanhai City is the territory of sea soul masters, many businessmen on land will buy seafood.
Chen Huayu was right. If a ship had arrived at another continent and returned to Hanhai City safely, the news would definitely spread.
"I don't think anyone has reached another continent." Yudie analyzed.
"After some people went there, they may not have any intention of coming back. Some people also died in the deep sea after all the food on the ship was exhausted before reaching another continent."
Ning Tianchen concluded: "No matter what, going to sea can be our fifth test, and the difficulty will definitely not be low."
"However, finding an experienced captain can save us a lot of trouble along the way."
After a pause, he arranged: "Xiao Ao, Fatty, you go to the city and wait."
Ning Tianchen's whereabouts have been reported to the Intelligence Department to prevent the sect from knowing their whereabouts.
They were going to go overseas next, so they had to inform the sect in advance to prevent the sect elders from making wrong judgments.
"Ask them to send someone to escort back the things they bought at the auction, and also inform them to send someone to station in Hanhai City. We will go to the ocean next. When we come back, the sect can know our situation as soon as possible."
……
Time flies by and the day of the auction begins in a blink of an eye.
Ning Tianchen and his party held the invitation letter given by Manager Liu, and the staff took them to the VIP room.
The private room faces the auction house and has a huge floor-to-ceiling crystal window. Everything on the auction table can be clearly seen.
Guests were entering one after another, and there was still some time before the auction started. Ning Tianchen sat in front of the window and observed the situation in the auction room.
"People from the Unparalleled Dragon Snake Family are also here."
The seat where Mr. Long and Snake are sitting is in the first row of seats in the auction house, not in a private room.
The Unparalleled Dragon Snake Family is not small, and it stands to reason that they can participate in the re-election meeting of the seven major sects.
But the fact is that they did not arrive at the scene.
After the Soul Master Competition ended, the Unparalleled Dragon Snake Family completely "disappeared", and there was no news about them on the mainland.
Feng Xiaotian stood in front of the window and said: "It seems that we may meet many old acquaintances at this auction."
The Qibao Glazed Sect knew about the auction, but they did not send anyone here.
"Boss, do you want to try to recruit the Dragon and Snake family? The martial soul fusion skills of Dragon and Snake are said to be able to compete with Titled Douluo. With such combat power, the sect will be even stronger." Chen Huayu suggested.
Ning Tianchen shook his head.
The Dragon Snake family has no property. The whole family relies on the intimidation of the Dragon Lord and the Snake Woman to collect protection fees everywhere.
If such a family recruits into Tianjian Sect, it will cause big trouble sooner or later.
Furthermore, even if they can restrain their disciples, the sect does not have an industry suitable for them to manage.
Is it possible to use the money earned from other departments to support them? (End of chapter)
