Chapter 95 Auction

Another half month later, it was clear after the snow, and the morning sun filled the mountains. The layers of leaves were covered with frost and snow, and the ice crystals on the branches shone like a jade tree, glowing with dazzling luster.

"A-Li, A-Li, I'll wait for you at the foot of the mountain." Qin Sizhu's voice sounded as a spiritual bird landed at the window.

A few days ago, she heard what her master said about the auction, and she remembered it in her heart. She made an appointment with Qin Sizhu to go down the mountain to have a look. Except for that time when she went to Xujiacun to eliminate the evil spirit, she had never gone down the mountain. When she was in Lijiacun before, she was only familiar with the situation in the village and town, and knew nothing about other places. With Qin Sizhu, a knowledgeable guide, she didn't have to worry about unfamiliar places.

"Aotian, you'd better hide in your sleeves and go to the auction with me. Maybe there's something you like. I'll go to the human world and choose two clothes for you." Hua Jianli sat on the edge of the bed facing each other. Aotian said as he swung his feet and ate the spiritual fruit.

"Are there any elixirs and spiritual stones?" Aotian raised his head and looked at Hua Jianli, then lowered his head and ate the fruit.

"Not only are there pills and spiritual stones, but we might also be able to take pictures of better treasures." Hua Jianli stopped organizing things and smiled.

There are good things and new clothes, it’s worth it!
Aotian swallowed the spirit fruit in two mouthfuls, and it turned into white light and slipped into Huajian Li's sleeve.

Clothes, Qiankun Bag, and enough elixirs.

After they were all together, they had just said goodbye to their master. Hua Jianli put the baggage and sword on his back and went down the mountain with his sword.

When Hua Jianli arrived at the gate of the mountain, he saw Hou Yueming was there and said hello with a smile.

Qin Sizhu patted Hou Yueming on the shoulder and said, "I called the little monkey here too. It's safer if there are more people."

Hua Jianli nodded, and the three of them flew down the mountain with their swords.

Huaxi Guo Ningcheng, the red sun is setting in the west, lanes are everywhere, eight streets and nine roads are full of people.Walking on the street, there are cars and horses, and people flowing in. Not far away, the penetrating shouts of vendors can be heard faintly, and occasionally there is a long neigh of a horse.

There are many shops on both sides of the street, and the afterglow of the evening sun shines lightly on the red bricks and green tiles, adding a bit of haziness and poetry to the prosperous evening scene in front of you.

"Although Ningcheng is not the royal capital, it is the most prosperous capital of Huaxi Kingdom. Merchants are everywhere here, and every inch of land is valuable." Qin Sizhu pointed to a shop selling jewelry on the street and said to the two people next to him, "You know How much money can this store make in a year?”

The two shook their heads, and Hou Yueming asked curiously, "How much is it?"

Qin Sizhu stretched out five fingers.

"500 taels of silver?" Hou Yueming blurted out.

Qin Sizhu shook his index finger, "No, it's 500 taels, gold!"

The two of them were shocked, so many!
"My father brought me to live here for half a year six years ago, so I know the conditions of many shops." Qin Sizhu explained.

"I almost forgot, the Sizhu family has been a medicine merchant for generations, you must also have the potential to do business." Hua Jianli said with a smile.

"Of course, if I hadn't awakened my spiritual roots, I would have become a famous figure among merchants, the richest man in Huaxi Country at a young age!" Qin Sizhu laughed.

"Let me see, who is daydreaming again?" Hou Yueming pretended to probe Qin Sizhu's forehead and wondered, "You don't have a fever? Why are you talking nonsense?"

"Hou Yueming, do you deserve a beating?" Qin Sizhu was about to roll up his sleeves and punch Hou Yueming twice when he suddenly heard a man selling candied haws in front of him shouting.

"I'm selling candied haws on a stick, sour and sweet candied haws on a stick, three pennies a bunch!"

Qin Sizhu's eyes lit up and he walked over quickly.

"Boss, give me three skewers."

"okay."

Qin Sizhu took the candied haws and handed one to Hua Jianli and Hou Yueming.

"I don't like sweets, so I'll give you both skewers." Hou Yueming handed the candied haws in his hand to Qin Sizhu.

"Then... okay, I'm not polite." Qin Sizhu took the candied haws and ate it with relish.

A doting smile appeared on Hou Yueming's face.It was getting late, and the three of them decided to stay in an inn before going to the auction tomorrow.

At Dongli Inn, the three of them requested two guest rooms. As they were walking up the stairs, Hua Jianli heard the guests drinking downstairs in the inn talking.

"I heard that another bride has disappeared in the east of the city. This is the third time this month."

"And I heard from my cousin who works in the government office that brides always disappear in their bridal chambers."

"Could it be a flower thief? Which flower thief is so brave that he can sneak into the new house and steal the bride in a grand manner."

"The Yamen is still unable to do anything. We don't even know what the person who kidnapped the bride looks like. Alas, I hope there won't be another victim."

Hua Jianli looked back and continued walking upstairs.

Investigating the case is a matter for the Yamen and has nothing to do with monks like them.

Early the next morning, the three of them went downstairs after washing up. Qin Sizhu ordered some famous local snacks.

Although Hua Jianli had already gone off the grain, when he saw the delicious snacks, he couldn't help but take a thin-skin bun and take a bite. It was fresh and delicious, so delicious!
Several plates of snacks were quickly cleared.

"The auction is held in Lengxiang Pavilion in the south of the city. The auction in Lengxiang Pavilion is only held four times a month, but there are many rare items in the auction, so every auction is crowded with people and the seats are packed." Qin Sizhu introduced, While leading the two of them towards the east of the city.

From a distance, you can see an extraordinary building. Under the eaves, Shi Danang has three dougongs and is painted with golden dragons and seals.There are glazed screen walls on both sides of the door. The center and corners of the wall are decorated with glazed flowers. The flower shapes are natural and realistic, and the colors are gorgeous.

When I walked in, I saw a black plaque hanging above the door. On the plaque were written three large golden characters - Lengxiang Pavilion.

When you walk into the lobby, the first thing you see are rows of tall pillars. The pillars are carved with exquisite patterns and patterns, which makes people marvel at the ingenuity and skills of the craftsmen.

A tall and thin middle-aged man saw the three people walking in and greeted them enthusiastically with a smile on his face, "Everyone, are you here to participate in the auction?"

"We are here to auction the elixirs," Hua Jianli replied.

"In that case, please come with me." The man led the three of them to the door of a room and knocked on the door.

The door was opened and the three of them walked in. A man with a beard came over and asked, "What do you want to auction?"

Hua Jianli took out four bottles of elixirs from the Qiankun bag and handed them to the man.

"It contains ten fifth-grade spirit-reviving pills, twenty sixth-grade marrow-cleansing pills, and ten sixth-grade essence-nourishing pills."

The man was surprised that this girl could produce so many pills despite her young age.

The man opened the bottle and checked the quality and fineness of the elixirs. These elixirs were all of the highest quality!
He put the elixir away and said enthusiastically, "Since the girl chooses to auction it at my place, we will definitely give her the most satisfactory price. The money we get from the auction will be thirty-seven cents, seven cents for you and three cents for us. Do you think this is appropriate?"

"Twenty-eight points, eight of us, two of you." Qin Sizhu made a two-digit sign with his fingers and said with a smile, "I believe you are very aware of how precious the elixir is. How many people dream of becoming immortal cultivators, and how many monks need to make breakthroughs." bottleneck, but there are only a few alchemists, not to mention that our elixirs are of high quality and will definitely fetch a good price. If you are sincere, all our elixirs will be auctioned here in the future."

The man thought for a moment, then clapped his hands and said, "Okay, you have to provide us with more elixirs in the future."

"That's natural, it's mutual benefit." Qin Sizhu blinked, "That's it, it's settled, you'll be happy at first glance."

Hua Jianli and Hou Yueming were both amazed by Qin Sizhu's bargaining skills.

"If there is something we like, can we take it first and then deduct it from the money we get from the auction of the elixir?" Hua Jianli asked.

"of course can."

The man happily asked the waiter to take the three of them to the VIP room. They walked through the lobby and arrived at the auction site. The waiter said respectfully, "Dear guests, your seat is in the private room above."

The three of them followed the boy to the second floor.
