Chapter 42 Bidding
  The night passed peacefully.

The next morning, the auction started on time.

The auction was held in the huge banquet hall. The stage in the middle was replaced by a display stage. The guests participating in the auction were seated at the banquet that surrounded the stage.

The private room upstairs became a VIP seat.

Lin Yu and Chen Sihai were sitting in the Juyuan Pavilion where they had been drinking last night.

"Everyone, the first auction item is a third-grade sword technique. I won't mention the name here. You will naturally know it after you get it..."

The auctioneer was talking non-stop on the display stand.

After the introduction, he announced that the bidding would start at a base price of one thousand taels of silver, and each increase in price should not be less than one hundred taels.

"One thousand taels."

"One thousand and two."

"One thousand and five."

"..."

"two thousand."

After several bids, the price quickly climbed to a high of two thousand taels.

At this point, except for those who practice martial arts, basically no one continues to bid.

Lin Yu estimated that in the end, three thousand taels would hold up to the sky. He must take it down, and after absorbing the new energy, he would integrate it into the afterimage sword technique to improve its level.

"Two thousand two."

"Two thousand three."

"Two thousand four."

There were only three voices left calling for prices.

After shouting two more prices, only Lin Yu and the person in the other private room were left to continue quoting.

"Two thousand and nine."

"Three thousand."

The price soon reached three thousand taels.

Lin Yu had a headache. It seemed that he had underestimated the popularity of this martial art. He couldn't win three thousand taels.

"Three thousand and one."

Lin Yu added another hundred taels.

"Three thousand and two."

"Three thousand three."

After shouting two prices alternately, the person opposite suddenly quoted a high price of four thousand taels.

Lin Yu continued to follow the quotation, and after quoting several prices alternately, Lin Yu shouted out the high price of five thousand taels.

Finally, the other party stopped raising prices.

"Two thousand higher than I expected."

Spending five thousand taels of silver all at once made Lin Yu feel a little painful.

The main reason is that the current financial situation of my family is not good, and I can no longer spend money as lavishly as before.

The auction continues.

The next few items to be auctioned were not of interest to him. They were some rare treasures and the like, mostly handicrafts.

Therefore, he said nothing and remained a bystander, watching others bid.

"The next thing to be auctioned is another third-level martial arts book. This is a set of light skills..."

The auctioneer quickly introduced the martial arts book in his hand and then announced the start of the bidding. The starting price and the added price were exactly the same as the previous third-grade swordsmanship book.

"..."

"Two thousand one."

"Two thousand and five."

After several bids, only Lin Yu and the person who bid with him just now were left bidding each other.

This made Lin Yu feel a little annoyed.

But there's nothing we can do about it, the auction is what it is, everything is about gold and silver.

Lin Yu secretly sighed that his father was indeed a wise man. He had anticipated that martial arts books would not be cheap, so he asked him to bring him one hundred thousand taels.

"Five thousand taels."

Lin Yu directly raised the price to five thousand taels, hoping to persuade the other party to quit. However, this time the other party did not give up, but quoted a figure of six thousand taels.

Now the atmosphere in the whole venue became a little warm.

Everyone sitting at the banquet below couldn't help but talk about it, guessing who the two bidders were and why it was like they were at odds.

Lin Yu also discovered this, but there was no other way. The auction house was like this, and everything was gold and silver.

If you want to compete with others for good things, you can only offer a higher price than others, or give up.

"Six thousand and five."

Lin Yu added five hundred taels.

"Seven thousand five."

The other party added a thousand taels.

"Eight thousand."

Lin Yu gritted his teeth and reported his lowest price.

If the price exceeds this price, forget about it. It is better to get some low-level martial arts, and then use the saved money to buy some tomb burial objects in other cities.

Maybe spending the same amount of money will improve your strength even more.

However, the other party seemed to have guessed what he was thinking, and stopped bidding after hearing the figure of eight thousand taels.

"Eight thousand taels once, eight thousand taels twice, eight thousand taels three times."

"make a deal!"

With a final word, this set of martial arts was successfully photographed by Lin Yu.

Of course, Lin Yu was not happy about this.

Buying a third-grade martial arts book for eight thousand taels is really too extravagant.

I always feel like I'm wasting my money.

Seeing this, Chen Sihai comforted him: "Lin Yu, this is how the auction is. Just relax. If the price is too high, don't forget it."

As he spoke, he completely forgot about the hysterical quarrel he had with others at the black market auction.

The auction continues.

"The treasure that will be auctioned next is called Hubao Pill. Everyone must know its medicinal effects."

The auctioneer said that he was still holding back on the sale.

However, all the men present smiled heartily. This tiger and leopard pill is for aphrodisiac, and it would be a bit vulgar to say it directly.

But even so, some women still looked shy.

"Let me introduce, this bottle of Tiger and Leopard Pills is a secret treasure from Beihai Imperial Palace Chinese Medicine Clinic. It is far more effective than similar medicines, so the price will naturally not be cheap. The starting price is two thousand taels, and each increase in price must not be less than one hundred taels. "

This was something only the princes and nobles could use, so even though the starting price was two thousand taels, the bidders still flocked to it, and within a few moments the price was raised to an exaggerated level.

Lin Yu naturally has no interest in this stuff.

At this time, his attention was entirely focused on the two men in the bakery opposite, the two men who were suspected of being members of the Chiyang Sect.

Each of these two people is holding a beautiful woman in his arms.

While eating the melon and fruit cakes that the beauty put into her mouth, she looked out the window with interest.

Lin Yu noticed that these two people had never photographed anything from the beginning to now, and they had not even quoted a price.

But this is not very strange, after all, the martial arts books auctioned before should be of no use to them.

What Lin Yu is most concerned about now is how to confirm the identities of these two people.

If it can be confirmed that the other party is from the Chiyang Sect that Ji Wuche said, then he must find a way to make friends with these two people and ask about Chiyang Sect.

While Lin Yu was thinking about these things, several more things were photographed on the field.

At this time, the auctioneer was introducing an elixir.

"Let me explain first that this bottle of Bone Forging Pill is an imitation. However, although it is an imitation, the prescription is the real original prescription. Therefore, it cannot be sold openly..."

Lin Yu was very interested in the bone forging pill in the hands of the auctioneer.

I didn’t expect that there are also generic drugs in this world.

Of course, it doesn't matter if it's a generic drug or something, as long as it actually works.

According to the other party, this bottle of medicine can forge bones and strengthen muscles, which is of great benefit to warriors.

If the price is right, definitely get it.
