The Xu family follows Taoism and seeks longevity

Chapter 109 The Auction Begins (Subscribe)

In the blink of an eye, it was already the third day after Xu Zhiyu and the others arrived in Taoshuifang City, and the auction that the monks in the county had been waiting for was finally about to begin.

The people of the Xu family who were going to participate in the auction were gathered in the yard of the family's weapon refining shop at dawn. Led by Xu Deming, they set off in a mighty manner.

The auction will be held in the Baibao Building, which is usually used as a shop and for the monks stationed in Baiyi Sect to practice, but when the auction comes, it will be transformed into an auction venue.

In the early morning of this day, Taoshuifang City was far more noisy and bustling than usual.

Pedestrians on the street were even more crowded, converging in the same direction.

Xu Zhiyu, like everyone else, wore a uniform robe embroidered with the Xu clan emblem. However, although the style is the same, the colors are different. Qi training is Xuan, foundation building is Su, and Zifu is Zhu. This was decided and written into the clan rules when the clan was founded. This must be followed on all important occasions. As for what you wear, you just wear what you like.

Looking around, there are many strange costumes on the street. The most common ones are people wearing black robes and hoods. There are also people wearing masks to isolate spiritual consciousness, or people who have used the practice of restraining. There are all kinds of people. One thing is enough.

After about a cup of tea, a huge building shrouded in formations came into view, and the outside was also shrouded in huge formations. It seemed that Baiyi Sect had put in a lot of effort for today's auction. This Baibao Pavilion is usually... Uncovered by formation.

I saw that the auction venue was divided into three floors, corresponding to different groups of people. The lowest floor was the most spacious. Several monks in the late stages of Qi training were standing guard at the gate, checking the tokens of those who came to the auction.

The token is a red jade sticker. Only after holding this object and inspecting it can you enter! Don't look at this small thing. It's worth a lot of money. It's worth a hundred spiritual stones. Don't think it's too expensive. Some people want it. It's still limited.

But next to the main door, there is also a smaller side door guarded by two foundation-building monks, but few people enter there.

Under the leadership of Xu Deming, everyone went straight to the side door, and then entered the auction venue with a respectful look on the gatekeeper's face.

It turns out that this is a special passage, prepared for monks or forces of foundation building and above, so that they don't have to squeeze in and out with the qi training monks, and this is also a way to show their identity.

However, everyone in the Xu family who entered the auction house found that there was a cave inside.

I saw that the hall on the first floor was more than a hundred feet long and wide, with a high platform standing in the center and many seats arranged around it. There were about two thousand seats in total.

Xu Zhiyu couldn't help but think to himself: "A jade ticket to participate in the auction costs one hundred spiritual stones. If this floor is full, it will cost two hundred thousand spiritual stones. I wonder when the Xu family will be able to hold their own auction and earn such a huge amount." A lot of spiritual stones."

As for the second floor, there are separate boxes specially prepared for foundation-building monks and forces. As for the third floor, it is probably where the Zifu Exchange Meeting will be held later.

As soon as they entered the venue, several maids with bright colors came forward to greet them. They first bowed to everyone, and then said in a charming voice:
  "Seniors of the Xu family and Taoist friends are honored guests. The shopkeeper has already prepared elegant scholars for you on the second floor. Please follow the little girl up to the second floor!"

Hearing this, Xu Deming said nothing, but Xu Shengsheng motioned to the maid to lead the way, and everyone followed closely.

Not long after, they arrived at the door of a private room marked No. 3.

The maid bowed to everyone again and said respectfully:
  "This is the elegant room that the shopkeeper has arranged for you all. Please go in and take a rest first. The auction will begin soon. I will be waiting outside the door. If you need anything, just ask me!"

Xu Shengsheng nodded, indicating that he understood, and let Xu Deming in first, and the others entered in sequence.

Xu Zhiyu glanced around the elegant room and saw that the elegant room was wide and several feet in size. It was fully equipped with tables, chairs and futons. There was also an array surrounding the walls. He estimated that it should be a soundproof array or something.

There are also tea sets, fruits and other items on the table. There is an offering table to the north of the elegant room, and there is an incense burner on it. It looks very exquisite. There are three incense sticks burning inside, and the smoke is misty and condensed. , inhaling it into the nose can't help but make people feel refreshed, and it has the effect of calming the mind and calming the energy.

On the side close to the auction venue, there is a huge floor-to-ceiling window with a formation on it. You can overlook the entire venue from the inside out, but you can't see anything from the outside in. The ancestor of the Xu family sat facing south, Xu Sheng sat facing east, and the others stood in the west, waiting for the auction to begin.

The Xu family will not only auction things this time, but also have several consignment items, which Xu Shengsheng had previously sent to the auction's consignment office. From the auction proceeds, the organizer of the auction, Baiyimen, will take a 10% commission. When Xu Zhiyu heard the news, he couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth, secretly thinking that it's so damn dark!

No one spoke in Xu's elegant room, but in the auction house below, as time went by, the number of people continued to increase, and it was full of people. After a while, it was full.

After all the attendees were seated and the four doors of the auction were closed, it was announced that it had begun.

An old man suddenly appeared in the hall in the middle of the auction house. He looked like he was about to die, but his eyes were extremely bright and unforgettable.

Everyone present was well-informed and could not help but exclaim:
  "Isn't this Senior Li? It's rare for Senior Li to be the treasure appraiser of Baibaolou! Unless there is something difficult to determine, Baibaolou will invite him to have a look. No matter what it is, he can be identified at a glance. He knows what is true and what is false, and has never seen it before, so he is known as 'Li Yiyan'!"

After the monk surnamed Li arrived, he slightly cupped his hands towards the surroundings as a salute, and then said loudly:
  "I, Li Yiyan, welcome all of you to come and participate in this auction. I am honored to be appointed as the auctioneer. There are many rare treasures in this auction, and you will definitely come away with a full load!"

"Also, let me emphasize the rules. The one with the highest bid gets it. If the spirit stones are not enough, you can use your treasures as collateral. Okay, without further ado, I announce that the auction has begun!"

As soon as these words came out, they immediately caused thunderous cheers from thousands of monks below, and the atmosphere in the venue began to become heated.

After Li Yiyan finished speaking, a beautiful lady in a brown dress walked out of the high platform. She was very charming, with water-cut eyes, a firm breast and a slight leak. She was full of spring, twisting her round waist and holding up her hands. A tray, covered with a piece of brocade cloth to prevent spiritual prying eyes, who knows what treasures are hidden underneath.

Li Yiyan didn't say much nonsense, and said loudly with a hint of magic in his voice:
  "The first auction item, a mother-and-son bone needle, a complete set of first-level mid-grade magic weapons!"

The charming female cultivator opened the brocade cloth, and saw five bone needles, one thick and five thin, appearing in front of everyone. They were all silvery gray. If they didn't look carefully, they wouldn't be able to spot them.

"Mother-child bone needles. The mother needles are made from the thickest and hardest fur on the first-order middle-grade monster - the thorn hedgehog. The remaining child needles are also made from the remaining fur, and are made from the first-order high-grade monsters. The weapon refiner added fish skin to help hide the mixed-eye fish and wrapped it around it. It can be said to be a self-defense weapon. If used against the enemy, it will have an unexpected effect. It is a rare treasure. The starting price is one hundred and fifty spirit stones, and each increase in price must not be less than ten spirit stones!"

After listening to the introduction, Xu Zhiyu and other monks of the Xu family had no interest in this magical weapon. The worst magical weapons they had were all first-class high-grade magical weapons. How could they be interested in this mere first-class medium-grade magical weapon?

However, the casual cultivators on the first floor are different. All of them are very interested in this Yin weapon, because they live by fighting. Having this thing with them will be a big help whether they are hunting animals or hunters.

The atmosphere at the scene was instantly ignited, and many people had already made offers:

A fifth-level qi-training monk shouted: "I will give you one hundred and sixty spiritual stones!"

Before the words could be heard, a higher offer soon appeared.

"I'll give you one hundred and eighty spiritual stones!"

"One hundred and ninety spirit stones!"

In the end, the object was swatted away by a monk at the sixth level of Qi training with 240 spirit stones.

But with the successful auction of the first treasure, the atmosphere at the scene became more and more enthusiastic, and everyone became more and more looking forward to the treasures that followed.
