Shendou Continent

Chapter 32 Auction

Soon, when it was time for the auction, a group of five people came to the auction site early.

Hangjing Auction House is located outside the Chaoyang Gate in the east of the city. Specifically, it is a large courtyard.The courtyard has four entrances, the rear is the office and collection area, the center of the front yard is the auction table, surrounded by corridors, and above the corridors are private rooms.

The auction is held on a monthly basis, and it can be done in about a day.Normally, in addition to collecting lots, the auction house will also operate externally, selling mainly items that have been received but cannot be auctioned.At each auction, some high-grade pills, rare spirit animal flesh and blood, precious crystals and weapons will be brought out to attract guests.

The auction is held in the open air, and buyers are divided into levels. Ordinary people only need to pay a small registration fee, but they can only stand or sit around the auction table in the courtyard, while the private rooms on the corridor have better privacy. The special exit that can directly connect to the back door also has a better view, which is clearer than that in the compound, and is aimed at high-end customers with a certain status.The five of them were reluctant to pay for the private room, and they couldn't book it anymore. They just sat in the courtyard area, and they had no special purpose.

At the gate of the auction house, Lin You saw Chen Jiao, and he was very happy to see Xiao Jiao's sister.However, Dai Ming seemed happier than Lin You. During the past few days, he and Chen Jiao got along very well. Deming liked Chen Jiao's eccentric spirit very much.

This time, there were two more people beside Chen Jiao, a man and a woman, the man with delicate features and the woman with average appearance, they were exactly the brother and sister who came to Hangzhou with Chen Xiaodong back then.It's just that they don't know Lin You well.The children's appearance has changed too much in seven years, especially Lin You, who has changed from an ugly duckling to a white swan. Even if Xiaodong is there, they may not know each other.The two sides nodded to each other, and Chen Jiao only said that he was a student in the same group, and with the teacher's permission, he wanted to auction off the horn of an ancient rhinoceros hunted in Kangzhou at the auction.

Different spirit beasts have different values ​​for their flesh and blood according to their combat power or defense power.This is because the more powerful the flesh and blood of the spirit beast can enhance the combat power of the fighter, the same, the stronger the flesh and blood of the spirit beast can also complement the shape and improve the defense of the fighter.Regardless of the increase in combat power or defense, it can increase the fighter's soul power.Therefore, the stronger the combat power or defensive power of the spirit beast, the higher the value of its flesh and blood, especially some iconic parts of the spirit beast, such as the rhinoceros horn.

For example, the ancient rhinoceros is a kind of spirit beast that has lived for countless years. It is not common, and its defense is extremely strong among spirit beasts.Grinding its horns into medicine is especially suitable for body training and improving the fighter's ability to resist blows. It will be more effective for fighters who practice defensive martial arts, such as the golden bell cover.There is a subspecies of ancient rhinos called ancient giant rhinos, which are twice the size of ordinary ancient rhinos. Their rhinoceros hide is one of the materials for refining Shenhai Pill, but this type of giant rhino is very rare and powerful.

During the hunt in Kangzhou, the three of them and another student in a group of four accidentally ran into an old and dying ancient rhinoceros, and worked together to kill it to get this rhinoceros horn.Otherwise, under normal circumstances, they would not be able to hunt ancient rhinos.Today, one of them was delayed due to business, so he only entrusted them to sell and share the proceeds equally.

Chen Jiao and the others arrived early. They first contacted the auctioneer and entrusted the rhino horn before waiting for Brother Xiaolin and the others at the door.After the meeting, everyone found a seat in the courtyard, and the auction was about to start, and there were more and more people.

Soon, the auction will begin.A [-]-year-old young girl stood on the stage and announced the rules and points that need attention.Generally speaking, the one with the highest price wins, and if no one raises the price after three outcalls, the hammer will be hammered to complete the deal.People who come to the auction house are already familiar with the basic rules, but the auction house will still say it routinely every time.

After the girl introduced the rules, she signaled the clerk to present the lot.She then slowly introduced that the first lot was a top-level green spar, the size of a palm. This spar can increase the speed of cultivation. If you are lucky, it can increase the speed by one-third, but only for 30- Level 40 fighter practice is useful.The girl turned around while introducing, trying to take care of the spectators around her.

Lin You knew that this kind of spar was a treasure in the mainland, and there were ten kinds of red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, gray, white, and black, corresponding to the ten levels of fighters, and green was suitable for the cultivation of legal fighters.If the magic mirror fighter's soul power is improved without the help of external forces, it will take a year and a half to increase to one level at a fast speed, and two years at a slow start.With the help of external forces such as green crystals, the time can be shortened a lot, and even the soul power can be upgraded within a year, which is still very valuable.When Lin You was cultivating in Wuyunmen, the master gave him three kinds of crystal stones, red, orange and yellow, according to his realm, but Nangong Ping didn't have the green crystal stone.

Soon, the field began to be called one after another.The starting price of the spar was [-] Ouyue gold coins, but was soon called for [-] gold coins, and was bought by a rough-looking fighter.Several people in Lin originally wanted to gather together to buy it, but it was the first lot, so they couldn't empty out everyone's money.In fact, the sum of the money in the hands of several people is not enough.

After a good start, the rest of the auction was relatively flat.There are other lower-level spars, flesh and blood of spirit beasts, precious medicine pills, and weapons and protective gear, but there is nothing that can cause a particularly sensational auction.Lin You and the others were just spectators and did not make a move. The rhino horn of the ancient rhinoceros in the middle was also sold at a high price. Chen Jiao and the others got the silver ticket.At noon, everyone simply made do with some dry food.

Everyone continued to join in the fun in the auction yard in the afternoon, and some of the auction items in the afternoon still caught Lin You's attention.One of the lots was actually a big living person, a beautiful woman from Loulan.

In fact, buying and selling people in mainland China is a common phenomenon. Prisoners of war, family members of criminal officials, criminals from other countries, wives and children of poor families may all appear in the market, and such scenes are occasionally staged at auctions.The imperial court supports legal transactions, but the imperial court’s criminal law also has special provisions to combat forced transactions. However, many transactions are between legal and illegal, and the imperial court also turns a blind eye.What's more, there are some things that the court can't control.

This time, the Loulan beauties are quite beautiful in appearance, especially the facial features are profound, and they are more three-dimensional and stylish than the Ouyue people.But she looked sad and was imprisoned in an iron cage.The beauty was wrapped in gorgeous silk clothes, her thighs were slender, her upper body was only an inch long, and her breasts were round and firm. The faint appearance made the hearts of the men present, and some people in the crowd were already eager to try it.

The host girl introduced the origin of the Loulan beauty, who was a family member of a Loulan criminal official, and was bought by a merchant from Ouyue. Because of the need for turnover in business, she was willing to part with her love and entrusted the Hangjing Auction House to auction it.This woman is only in her twenties, and she is in the prime of her youth. She is good at singing and dancing. She is a typical Loulan beauty. She not only has a good-looking skin, but also has an interesting soul.

Soon, the starting price was announced: [-] Ouyue gold coins, plus [-] for each bid.Immediately, prices were shouted everywhere in the courtyard: "one thousand", "one thousand one", "one thousand two"...the price was quickly pushed up to five thousand.When it reached [-], the hall guests in the courtyard were already unable to bid, and only the private room on the second floor was left to compete. "Five thousand one" "Five thousand two"... The final price was set at six thousand, which was bought by a private room at the east end of the second floor, and the woman was taken away together with the iron cage.

Naturally, Lin You and the others did not participate in it, but seeing this scene for the first time did shock him. Selling children and selling daughters was normal during the famine years, and the Ouyue Empire is still prosperous at present, so it turns out that this is the way to trade.Mu Ziyan, Chen Jiao and the other girls felt inexplicably sad, but living in such a world is also helpless. Only by practicing to make yourself strong can you not be reduced to a commodity and be bought and sold, and your determination to improve yourself will be stronger.

Next, they bought a few items sporadically, which was a worthwhile trip.Lin You took a picture of a storage spiritual bag. This spiritual bag is only the size of a beast bag and can be hung on the waist. It can store a lot of things in a compressed space without damaging the object itself. Some daily items can also be stuffed here , A fighter with a certain level of cultivation can't even feel the weight of the spirit bag.However, although there are different grades of spiritual bags in the mainland, they can generally only compress items to a quarter of the size, and a spiritual bag that can be compressed to one-tenth is already the best. With the current financial resources, Lin can only Buy a generic.Other people who don't have a storage spiritual bag are also equipped with one, and they travel on the mainland, which is probably the standard equipment for fighters.

In addition, Lin You also took a photo of a Nanling makeup ornament, intending to give it to Master, and went to the auction to stay in the collection area, and bought a clever lock, intending to give it to Xiao Nan.It's been a while since they left the sect for this trip, and it's time for them to go back.
