Immortal Cultivator of Wizard Academy

Chapter 42 Auction House

Tai'an moved forward silently, paying attention to every store on the roadside. Finally, I lived up to my expectations and found the road signs for Ye Bugui Auction House.

Looking from a distance, the cylindrical building has six floors in total.

Ye Bugui Auction House is on the first to third floors, with Guoqi Hotel and Xinglan Magic Cinema above.

There are six welcoming ladies in gorgeous costumes standing on the left and right of the splendid gate. The white-haired long-eared demi-human has an average appearance of about seven points.

"Hello, please show your membership certificate."

"How do I need to prove it?"

"Ordinary members have an annual fee of one gold dragon, and can sit anywhere in the hall, and their annual transaction turnover reaches ten gold dragons, which automatically renews. VIP members need to verify their identity as a noble or elite professional, and the long-term private room fee is one hundred gold dragons. The cost of a temporary private room is one gold dragon, and there must be space. The private room has dedicated service and comes with free drinks and snacks.”

"I want to apply for an ordinary membership!"

"Okay, please come this way."

The female rabbit-eared receptionist led the shota wizard to the front desk. After paying a gold dragon, she successfully received the membership certificate.

Cards with black background and gold edges have a metallic feel.

If it is lost accidentally, you can reissue it as long as you remember the number.

Walking on the dimly lit corridor, Tai'an took the card and looked at it repeatedly. His number was ranked behind the 10,000th place!

The rabbit-eared girl was always by his side and briefly explained the rules of the auction.

One is silent mode.

Whichever product you like, you can have a chance to bid and leave the price and membership number on the cardboard card.

Every game ends on the hour, and the highest bidder wins.

The other is the public auction mode.

Usually when rare and high-end items are auctioned, the auction house will notify you in advance, and participants need to pay a deposit in advance.

In order to prevent malicious bidding, the auction house has the right to confiscate the deposits of the top three bidders who have the highest bid but refuse to complete the payment to make up for the losses caused by the failed auction.

The silently photographed products are divided according to categories and placed in different rooms.

The bunny-eared girl gestured to the sign posted on the wall.

The categories are as follows: 1. Weapons, 2. Magic props, 3. Materials, 4. Magic potions, 5. Inheritances and secret treasures, 6. Luxury goods and works of art, 7. Slaves, 8. Fixed assets, 9. Vehicles, 10. Bulk goods.

Tai'an paused and pondered, and the bunny-eared girl next to him bowed slightly to greet the guests, then said goodbye and left.

Auction Hall 3.

Tai'an pushed open the ajar door and saw many of his colleagues.

Most of them were old men and women wearing white robes, discussing in groups.

He came to the nearest glass display case and looked at the text description on the card.

Mysterious meteorite (weight about 13.45 kg).

Tip: This material has high hardness and releases mysterious energy that causes flesh and blood distortion all the time. It is risky, so please do not touch it directly!

Base price: one gold dragon.

Tai'an's face darkened, and he quickly took a few steps back, seemingly daring not to stop when he ran away.

The material of the glass display cabinet next to it is much more normal.

Small piece of fine gold (weighing about thirty grams.)
Tip: Adamantine is a natural magic insulator and is immune to the effects of all spells.

Base price: one gold dragon.

Tai'an has wanted an inner armor made of fine gold for a long time.

Unfortunately, adamantine is a material on the same level as mithril. The financial resources of the Blue Rose Territory are difficult to afford. Unless he becomes a lord, he may be able to collect some slowly.

Of course, you can try it now... Tai'an didn't have high hopes. He pulled out a white cardboard card next to the glass display cabinet, picked up the pen on the table, and left his quotation and membership number on it. Place it in a wooden box shaped like a mailbox.

Bid: three gold and twenty silver dollars.

Ethereal stone fragments (weight about 5g)

Tips: Ethereal Stone is the main raw material for making space rings.

Base price: one gold dragon.

Just 5G ethereal stones are definitely not enough to make a space ring, but it does not prevent them from being collected as scraps.

Tai'an carefully filled in the offer price for five Jinlong and seventy silver dollars on the cardboard card.

Most of the items installed in the glass display cabinets are made of high-quality materials, and the prices are all the same.

Not only metal materials, but also some biological materials, such as fresh earth dragon heart, which is the main material used to refine dragon power potions and is also a very popular martial arts resource. For example, some rare medicinal materials with a long history, the thousand-year-old Rehmannia glutinosa was filmed in the last scene...

There are still about ten minutes left before this round of silent filming ends.

Tai'an took the time to go to the area with ordinary materials at the back and silently bid at the lowest price of one silver dollar, focusing on picking up missing items.

Crushed sand of ethereal stone (weight about 200g~300g)

If you purify some waste materials with high enough skills, you may be able to get a small amount of ethereal stones, which are great for newcomers to practice.

Rehmannia glutinosa with damaged rhizome, circa seventy years.

Use it as soon as possible before the nutritional value is completely lost.

The fish-man's eyes.

Long-term use can increase night vision and increase water element affinity.

Pretty good martial arts resources, grab them quickly!
Tai'an moved his pen as fast as he could, frantically filling out the cardboard cards with bids, until the sound of a copper bell rang in the venue.

The staff of Auction Hall No. 3 began to count the prices.

Open the mailboxes one by one and perform traditional manual statistics. The process usually takes more than half an hour. Therefore, it takes basically two hours to complete one round.

The mysterious meteorite was taken away by twenty-two gold dragons.

Thirty grams of fine gold also fetched a high price of eleven gold dragons.

Tai'an shook his head and sighed, knowing that there was little hope.

The remaining ethereal stone fragments were not obtained, and the highest bidder paid seven gold and one silver dollar.

He felt that there was a high probability that his entire army would be wiped out. Fortunately, he successfully captured the shot of the ethereal stone and gravel, so his trip was not in vain.

Speaking of which, it can be regarded as a discovery. The space ring in Tai'an's hand was smelted by extracting the crushed sand of the ethereal stone. Things that ordinary people can't do doesn't mean that immortal cultivators can't do it. Maybe a jar of empty spirit stone sand in his hand is more valuable than the empty spirit stone fragments.

"Sir, if you are free on Friday night, I would like to invite you to participate in our monthly public auction at eight o'clock in the evening."

"I will consider…"

The space ring put away the clay pot containing the empty spirit stone and sand, and Tai'an slowly left the scene following the flow of people.

The lights in the corridor were still dim, and right in front of the straight red carpet, a group of young men dressed like men and dogs, each holding chains in their hands, were talking and laughing among themselves.

The other end of the chain is not a pet, but a nice-looking demi-human woman.

The blue and white fluffy tail drooped listlessly, a pair of gray ears that should have been erect drooped on both sides, and a collar symbolizing the loss of freedom hung around its neck.

Ice wolf clan!
Tai'an recognized it immediately, his eyes subtle.

The Ice Wolf Tribe is a demi-human race that lives in the North. It is widely distributed and has been promised protection by major lords. How could they become slaves and appear at auctions?
"His Excellency Viscount Bangalore, you bought good stuff this time. I will definitely patronize your business another day."

"It's easy to say! It's easy to say! If you come and patronize, you will get a 30% discount."
