Chapter 152 Bidding
Outside the Jinyun Pavilion, a ray of blue light flew from a distance and landed on the stairs on one side of the palace, revealing the figure of a bearded man. It was Han Li after changing his appearance.
He looked at the majestic palace in front of him, and walked towards the gate of the palace with big strides.
On both sides of the temple gate, there were many attendants in black shirts, receiving every monk who came over.
"This senior is here to participate in the auction meeting?" It seems that Han Li walked over, and a black-clothed attendant immediately greeted him with a smile on his face.
"I'm not here today to participate in the auction meeting, what else can I do?" Han Li frowned and said with some displeasure.
"Senior, please don't blame me. This auction is a little different from previous years, so I need to give you some explanations." The black-shirted attendant said with a smile.
"How do you say that?" Han Li asked.
"The number of people participating in the auction this time is much higher than in previous years. In order to control the number of people and eliminate some guests who just watch the excitement and have no intention of auctioning, the conference stipulates that those who participate in the auction need to pay a sum of spirit stones, which is regarded as an admission fee. However, seniors only need to buy any treasure at the auction, and we will return this spirit stone to you later." The black-shirted attendant said respectfully.
"Oh, there are still such regulations, how many spirit stones do you need?" Han Li said indifferently.
The servant in black was about to speak.
"Presumptuous! How can you talk like this with your senior, back off!" A middle-aged man in charge walked over quickly and shouted back the black-clothed attendant.
Han Li took a look at the middle-aged man, who was a monk in the integration period.
"The subordinates are ignorant, so please don't blame seniors. These regulations are for ordinary guests. True fairyland monks like seniors can enter through a special VIP passage, so naturally they don't need to pay any spirit stones. But here is also Same, please come inside." The middle-aged man said respectfully.
When Han Li heard this, he couldn't help laughing.
It seems that no matter where they are, everyone respects their strength, their cultivation base is higher than others, and the treatment they get is also very different.
Thinking so, he nodded slightly at the other party, and stepped into the golden hall.
He didn't feel anything from the outside, but as soon as he entered the hall, he felt the astonishingly large space inside.
The hall is divided into three floors, and the bottom floor is an extremely spacious hall, which looks like a giant square, magnificent and incomparable.
At the very front is a large auction platform, which is still empty at the moment.
There are countless seats around the hall, which are in the shape of a ladder. At this moment, most of the people are seated, and it looks a bit crowded and noisy.
"This floor is for ordinary monks. Seniors, please come with me. There is a special VIP seat on the second floor." The middle-aged man said, leading Han Li to the second floor from the next stairs.
There are hundreds of seats sparsely arranged here, the seats are wide, and the distance between each other is quite open. There are some fruits and spirit tea on the coffee table next to it, which is completely different from the treatment in the hall below.
There were quite a few people sitting on these seats at the moment, all of them were cultivators from the Realm of Immortal Realm. Han Li even vaguely saw a few people whom he had seen in the City Lord's Mansion that day.
After being greeted by the middle-aged man, Han Li also sat down on a seat.
Looking from here, the view is excellent, and the auction platform below is clearly visible. Compared with the monks in the hall below, there is a sense of superiority.
Han Li nodded, then looked up towards the third floor, and asked, "Who are the guests on the third floor?"
There are separate rooms on the third floor, with restrictions imposed, and the situation inside cannot be seen from the outside. The treatment is obviously better than here on the second floor.
He wasn't dissatisfied because he wasn't invited to the third floor, he was just curious.
"The third floor is the location of the major island owners." The middle-aged man said so.
Han Li snorted, looked away, and didn't ask any more questions.
The middle-aged man was quite busy, so he recruited a beautiful maid to serve beside him, while he apologized and retreated.
Han Li didn't pay attention to these, and sat quietly, waiting for the auction to start.
As time passed, the hall was quickly filled up, and there were almost no empty seats on the second floor.
After more than an hour.
Clang, clang!
Three grand bells sounded and echoed in the hall.
The noisy venue immediately fell silent, and an old man with white beard and red face stepped onto the auction stage, who seemed to be the auctioneer of the conference.
"Master Wen!"
There was a buzzing discussion in the hall.
Han Li's expression moved slightly, could this red-faced old man be Wen Hua? According to rumors, one of the three earth-level alchemists of Heifeng Island is also the guest secretary of the owner of Heifeng Island.
"Hehe, today is the most grand auction meeting in the Heifeng Sea Territory once in a hundred years. It is rare for you to come to join us. It is a great honor for Wen to be today's auctioneer." The red-faced old man raised his voice, and his loud voice echoed in the venue.
After the old man's voice sounded, the noisy discussions of the people present stopped abruptly, and the scene became extremely silent.
"There are many old faces here. Of course, some friends are here for the first time to participate in the auction. Here, Wen, let me talk about the rules of the meeting. The auction bid is based on the best spirit stone. Essence stones can be exchanged at a rate of 1:100, or they can be mortgaged, as for the value of the mortgaged object, it is up to these three people to judge." After a pause, Wen Hua continued.
As soon as the words fell, three monks stepped onto the auction stage with fluttering clothes. They were an old man with white eyebrows in gray clothes, a strong man in a blue short shirt, and a middle-aged woman who still had a good looks. They are all true fairyland cultivation bases.
The three came to a long table next to the auction without saying a word, and sat down at the same time.
"Many people must know these three. As the elders of Changxing Chamber of Commerce, Xuanyue Chamber of Commerce, and Taibai Chamber of Commerce, they are well-informed and will not be biased in their valuations. You can rest assured. As for safety, Black Wind City Fighting is strictly prohibited, and once discovered, you will be severely punished! Alright, I won’t delay everyone’s time, and the auction will begin now!” Wen Hua announced with a wave of one hand after a brief introduction.
I saw a warrior in black walking up holding a huge white box. After opening it, there was a piece of red spar inside, which was the size of a human head. There were some flame-shaped patterns on the surface. Even if you were hundreds of feet away, you could still feel it There were bursts of astonishing fire spiritual power fluctuations emitted from it.
"This is a whole piece of high-grade fire-patterned jade, which is the best spiritual material for refining top-quality spiritual treasures. The starting price is 20 top-quality spiritual stones, and each increase in price must not be lower than one top-quality spiritual stone!" Wen Hua said loudly.
"Twenty top-quality spirit stones!"
"twenty one"
"twenty five!"
...
There was a buzzing sound from the venue below, and there was a sound of exclamation. Many people's eyes lit up immediately, and someone immediately made a bid.
Han Li sat on the chair and looked at everything below with a calm expression.
Although this piece of fire-patterned brilliant jade is considered a good item, it is still not in his sights.
The price of the fire-patterned jade soared all the way, and soon reached the high price of fifty top-quality spirit stones, and finally no one continued to bid.
"Deal!" Wen Hua announced the result with a smile on his face.
It was a good sign that the first auction item was able to fetch such a high price, which was somewhat beyond his expectations.
Not long after, the second auction item was also taken up, but it was a 30,000-year-old spirit grass, and it was also sold at a high price.
Time passed little by little, and the auction items were brought up like flowing water.
They are all kinds of materials, pills, and some spiritual treasures. Although they are quite precious, they are obviously prepared for the combined and Mahayana monks below.
Han Li looked a little bit downhearted, and the true immortal monks on the second floor rarely bid.
Two or three hours passed quickly, and the value of the auctioned items began to rise gradually. Some not-so-common treasures began to appear. High-grade pills and so on, the real immortal monks on the second floor began to be impatient, and they bid for it one after another.
Not long after, another auction item was lifted up, but it was a huge piece of jade, showing a dark red color, and blood-like red lines could be vaguely seen on the spar, vaguely forming a fire phoenix pattern, exuding a strong The law of fire fluctuates.
"The next treasure is this phoenix blood flame jade crystal, which is formed from a ball of essence and blood in the body of a fire phoenix true spirit in the late stage of a true immortal, which contains a trace of fire attribute law. The excellent main material for making the Celestial Artifact! The starting price is two hundred top-quality spirit stones, and each time the price increases, it must not be less than ten top-quality spirit stones." Wen Hua looked around slowly at first, and saw everyone's eyes gathered on the jade stone After that, he introduced slowly.
Han Li's heart moved. The power of law contained in this phoenix blood flame jade crystal was impressive. Even he had the urge to buy it, but he didn't have a lot of spirit stones on him, so he held back after pondering for a while.
"Two hundred and ten"
"Two hundred and forty top-grade spirit stones"
"I pay two hundred and eighty!"
"three hundred!"
There are many people who value this phoenix blood flame jade crystal, but they are basically the real immortal monks on the second floor. Even though those on the first floor are jealous, they can no longer afford such a price.
The price of Phoenix Blood Flame Jade Crystal quickly climbed to 450, which was reported by a bald man in a red robe on the second floor.
As soon as the price came out, the second floor became a lot quieter, and those who were eager to try it all stopped bidding.
Seeing this, the bald man showed a gleam of joy on his face.
"five hundred!"
At this moment, a voice came from a box on the third floor, quite erratic, it seemed to be a female voice, and the price was increased by fifty top-grade spirit stones.
The red-robed Sanxian was stunned at first, and a look of anger flashed in his eyes, but after a change of expression on his face, he slowly lowered the hand he had just raised, and did not continue to increase the price.
"Five hundred top quality spirit stones, deal!" Wen Hua announced the result with a happy face.
The phoenix blood flame jade crystal was quickly taken down, and sent to the box on the third floor by a special person.
Han Li glanced there and then looked away, feeling that the price was a bit expensive in his heart.
