Chapter 16 The Auction Begins
At 8:00 p.m., all kinds of luxury cars were parked in front of the medicinal materials trading market. All nearby roads were closed, and even the nearby school was forced to take a three-day holiday, which made all the students rejoicing.
The auction venue was filled with celebrities of all kinds, and the entire market was full of armed police patrolling.
There are surveillance cameras everywhere, guards everywhere, all on high alert.
People who come here today, even if any one is hurt a little, the entire Xichuan Province will be shocked.
Everyone's nerves were tense.
"Ziling, the scale of the alert is a bit scary!" Cheng Huang said to Zhang Ziling, who was also surrounded by bodyguards.
"What's that? You don't know the people in the capital. It's more exaggerated to do something!" Chu Qi drew a big circle with his arms.
"Pay attention to your image, now you are not a nanny, don't be too lively." At this time, Zhang Ziling pulled Chu Qi, so as not to attract the attention of the surrounding celebrities.
"Oh." Chu Qi put down his jade arm, obediently and Cheng Huang followed behind Zhang Ziling.
Now Chu Qi is wearing a red open-back dress, her crystal white thighs are looming, and she is stepping on crystal high heels. She is extremely beautiful. Even if she doesn't do those exaggerated moves, it still attracts the attention of countless celebrities.
This made Zhang Ziling very helpless.
Originally, Zhang Ziling didn't want Chu Qi to follow him, but Chu Qi threatened with his life, and Cheng Huang was helping him. In desperation, Zhang Ziling brought this neighbor's daughter with him out of the humanitarianism of saving lives.
Why is it called the next door daughter?
As a wealthy eldest lady, Chu Qi has the character of a sister next door, plus she can spend a lot of money, but she is poor enough to be a nanny for herself.
What a strange woman!
Zhang Ziling smiled and shook his head.
"What are you laughing at?" Chu Qi suddenly jumped to Zhang Ziling's side, "Don't you plan to invite Cheng Huang and me to dinner after the auction?"
Zhang Ziling almost choked when he heard Chu Qi's words.
"Please eat?" Zhang Ziling looked at Chu Qi with a speechless expression, "Are you just so chasing?"
"How about that, food, clothing, and shelter, isn't that enough?" Chu Qi tilted his head and said, the gems on his chest glistening.
Zhang Ziling glanced at the gem on Chu Qi's chest and said, "If you sell the gem on your chest, your dream will come true."
Chu Qi quickly covered his chest and stared at Zhang Ziling: "Where are you looking? I won't sell this gem!"
"Sir, the auction has started, the big boss invites you in."
Just when Chu Qi was about to speak, a servant came over.
"Yeah." Zhang Ziling nodded, then said to Chu Qi and Cheng Huang, "The two of you should go to the seats first, the auction is about to start."
"Got it, don't worry, I can't wait for such a large-scale auction!" Cheng Huang looked excited.
"En." Zhang Ziling replied briefly, and followed the attendant into the venue.
Looking at Zhang Ziling's back, a strange feeling flashed in Chu Qi's eyes, and he muttered, "This gem cannot be sold, it can only be given..."
"Sister-in-law?" Cheng Huang woke up Chu Qi, "Let's go in."
"Ah? Oh." Chu Qi nodded, stepping on the red carpet and entering the venue with Cheng Huang.
"Dao... Disciple, you're here!" The old Taoist priest had been waiting in the background for a long time, and when he saw Zhang Ziling walking in, he quickly got up to greet him.
Lao Dao has searched all over the books in the past few days. The last time this type of medicinal pill appeared, it was the elixir of immortality that Ying Zheng took in the Qin Dynasty!
Since then, no one has ever refined this type of elixir. Although the emperors of all dynasties have pursued immortality, no alchemist has been able to refine elixir that can make people younger.
Although this kind of elixir cannot reach the level of an elixir of life, it is terrifying to refine more than one beauty-preserving elixir from just one ice spirit grass!
It is conceivable that this seemingly young man in front of him has much ability to reach the sky?
The old Taoist was a cultivator, how could he not seize the opportunity and seek guidance when he encountered such a master?
"Master, I brought the medicinal pills." Zhang Ziling took out Zhuyan Dan with a smile, and the blue medicinal pills lay quietly in the jade box.
"Teacher!" The Taoist became anxious when he saw this medicine pill, "How could such a poor quality jade box be used to hold such a magical medicine!"
"Jade box?" Zhang Ziling looked at the jade box in his hand, and immediately smiled: "I thought it would be better not to pack it in the auction later, so I bought one from a street vendor."
puff!
The old Taoist gushed out a mouthful of old blood, and the spiritual power in his body became disordered.
"You, you!" The old Taoist trembled to Zhang Ziling, took the jade box, carefully took out the medicinal pill, then threw the jade box on the ground, took out a blue jade box from his arms, and put the medicinal pill put it in.
Zhang Ziling looked at the jade box, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he said, "Master, how can you use the cold light jade to hold this medicine pill?"
"Why not!" The old Taoist roared out at once, "Good pills and good jade! This will not make the pills lose their medicinal properties!"
Seeing the distressed look on the old Taoist's face, Zhang Ziling wanted to laugh in his heart.
This cold light spiritual jade is also considered a relatively precious thing in the other world. Generally, high-level medicinal herbs are used to contain the utensils made of cold light spiritual jade.
Because of the characteristics of cold light and jade, it can lock the medicinal properties of medicinal herbs and not lose them, which is beneficial to the long-term preservation of medicinal medicinal herbs.
However, Zhuyan Dan, which can be refined by low-level alchemists, is absolutely not qualified to use Hanguang Lingyu.
Dressing with ordinary jade is already the limit in the eyes of otherworldly cultivators.
"Okay, then according to Master's advice, let the Zhuyan Dan stay in this box." Zhang Ziling laughed, took out another page and handed it to the old Taoist, "If Master can find these medicinal materials, I can help you to refine them again. Make Zhuyan Dan!"
"Really?" The old Taoist's eyes lit up, he took the page, his face turned into a bitter gourd shape, he only recognized a very small part of these medicinal materials, and they were very rare.
"It seems that Lao Dao and Zhuyan Dan have no relationship. Lao Dao only knows where a few of the medicinal materials grow." The old Daoist sighed.
"It's alright, as long as the master has news about the medicinal materials, tell the disciple, and the disciple will make a pot for the master!" Zhang Ziling laughed, and did not expect to get many medicinal materials. These medicinal materials are mainly for refining high-level medicinal pills, which are used to quickly It is used to restore strength. If not, it is the same with a lot of low-level medicinal materials, but it is a little more troublesome.
"Is this true?" When the old Taoist heard this sentence, his eyes lit up.
"Seriously," Zhang Ziling said with a smile, "perhaps I can give Master an even more unexpected surprise!"
"Since Tu'er said so," the old Taoist stroked his beard with satisfaction and said with squinted eyes, "After this auction is over, I will find out where some medicinal materials grow, and I will inform Tu'er."
"Just as Master said." Zhang Ziling was also a little surprised, but he didn't expect that the old Taoist would have a way to find some of the medicinal herbs on the list.
After the two had finished talking, the old Taoist dragged the jade box with both hands and carefully handed it to Zhang Ziling.
"Daoist, little friend, the auction has started, please come to the stage."
Just after Zhang Ziling took over the Zhuyan Dan, the big boss walked in and said respectfully to the two of them.
"Well, let's go right away!" The old Taoist nodded indifferently and signaled to Zhang Ziling.
After Zhang Ziling nodded, he walked to the auction table under the instructions of the big boss.
The red curtain slowly opened, and Zhang Ziling appeared in front of everyone.
The four jade-white pillars surrounding the auction platform are like soldiers guarding the Athenian temple.
Celebrities sat on red-faced seats on a carpet of green mandala wool, dressed in noble and luxurious dresses, with seat numbers cast in gold and silver to their right.
"It seems that the big boss has invested a lot for this auction!"
Not caring about the flashy air swept in from all directions, Zhang Ziling took out the cold light jade box.
Under the watchful eyes of the celebrities in the audience, Zhang Ziling smiled and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, the auction is about to start, and this auction will only have one auction item."
Zhang Ziling raised the cold light jade box in his hand, "Please hold your auction cards and use all means to auction off the items you like."
"Now..." Zhang Ziling put his hand on the cold light jade box, "It's dark, close your eyes!"
The crystal giant lamps on the dome were all extinguished, and the auction venue became extremely dark. Before the celebrities had time to panic, Zhang Ziling opened the cold light jade box.
For a time, the venue became brightly lit again, and this time, it was not the giant crystal lamp on the dome that illuminated the venue, but the Zhuyan Dan floating in front of Zhang Ziling, emitting a soft blue light!
There was an uproar off the field, and many celebrities disregarded their image and jumped up suddenly!
That is... Zhuyan Dan!
