The first volume debuts Chapter 28 Auction House
Three days passed quickly. At noon on the third day, Li Xuanfeng arrived at the door of the trading pavilion as scheduled. Unexpectedly, his senior sister Shen Luoyan also arrived. The two agreed to meet half an hour later, but they both arrived at the trading pavilion in advance and smiled at each other.
"Junior brother, look, these are the auction tokens I prepared." Shen Luoyan took out two tokens and showed them to Li Xuanfeng. Li Xuanfeng noticed that the numbers on the tokens were larger than the two numbers Chen Cang gave him, which meant that they were at the back.
"Senior sister is so amazing." Li Xuanfeng praised Shen Luoyan. He did not take out the token that Chen Cang gave him, otherwise it would be difficult to explain, and he did not care about the seat. Unexpectedly, Senior Sister Shen Luoyan had already prepared the token in advance. It seemed that she valued this auction very much.
Half an hour later, the person in charge of the trading pavilion began to check the tokens and organize entry. The trading pavilion was very large, with one floor able to accommodate more than 2,000 people at a time, and the two auction halls could accommodate 1,000 people each, so even if the auction hall was opened, it didn't seem crowded, just that there were more people than usual.
At the gate of the auction house on the third floor, there were ten receptionists checking tokens. The checking speed was very fast. In just a quarter of an hour, all the disciples participating in the auction had entered the auction house.
Li Xuanfeng and Shen Luoyan also entered the auction hall side by side. They saw a platform in the middle of the auction hall. The surrounding area was composed of private rooms and seats, divided into three levels. The closest to the platform was a circle of small rooms surrounding the platform. There were a total of ten rooms, each with three seats. Behind the rooms were several circles of hundreds of red chairs made of spiritual wood. The outermost area was a large number of metal chairs, which were also the most common type.
The platform is in the middle, and the position keeps rising from the room to the spirit wood chairs and then to the metal chairs. The last row of seats is the farthest and highest, so that all seats can see the central platform. However, the farther away from the platform, the clearer the auction items on the middle platform are than from the front rows.
Li Xuanfeng and Shen Luoyan found the seat for the token, which was on the second type of spiritual wood chair. The seats here made people feel relaxed and happy, with a large gap between the seats, not as crowded as the third type.
A quarter of an hour after entering the auction hall, a brilliant light flashed on the platform in the middle. After the light dissipated, three figures appeared, two women and one man. The two women were holding trays in their hands and had storage bags on their bodies, which were obviously filled with auction items. Li Xuanfeng looked closely and found that the man was Chen Cang.
"Hello everyone, I am Chen Cang, the elder of the Trading Pavilion, and I am in charge of today's auction. Without further ado, let's get straight to the point and start the auction." After Chen Cang introduced himself briefly, he went straight to the point.
"The first item is a perfect-grade Soul Gathering Pill. A perfect-grade pill is one that does not have any impurities left. It is more effective and has no side effects. There are twenty pills in total, divided into four bottles, with five pills in each bottle. We will auction them one by one. The first bottle will be auctioned now, with a starting price of fifty Spirit Stones."
"Sixty spirit stones!" After listening to Chen Cang's explanation, the audience was instantly boiling. Perfect-grade elixirs are extremely rare, and there are quite a lot of them this time, so the price kept rising.
"I'll give you eighty spirit stones!"
"Ninety Spiritual Stones!"
"One hundred spirit stones." Shen Luoyan beside Li Xuanfeng suddenly raised the price.
Li Xuanfeng looked at Shen Luoyan beside him with confusion. The Soul Gathering Pill is a good pill for the Soul Rong Realm, but it has little effect on the Soul Foundation Realm. Why did Senior Sister Shen Luoyan rush to bid for it?
"One hundred and ten spirit stones." A middle-aged man sitting on the second-floor chair rushed to bid again.
"One hundred and twenty spirit stones!" A voice came from the room on the first floor. After this time, no one raised the price again. The value of five perfect spirit-gathering pills was about one hundred and ten spirit stones. It would be a bit worthless to increase the price. Besides, there were three more bottles of spirit-gathering pills. There was no need to fight for the first bottle. Shen Luoyan was also very smart and did not choose to raise the price again.
Although many people who participated in the auction recognized Shen Luoyan and Li Xuanfeng, they did not give up bidding just because they were disciples of the sect master. This was because the principle Shen Hua taught his disciples was first of all not to bully others by taking advantage of their power. He also required all departments in the sect not to give any special care to their disciples. The disciples also strictly abided by this principle, which is one of the reasons why Shen Hua is deeply respected by the sect disciples.
"One hundred and twenty spirit stones once, twice, sold, congratulations to number three for winning the bid!" Chen Cang announced in a steady voice. Each seat has a number corresponding to the auction token, and the number is recorded when the bid is successful, making it easier to take away the auction items after the auction.
"Now we will start auctioning the second bottle of Perfect Spirit Gathering Pill. The starting price is still fifty spirit stones."
"Sixty Spiritual Stones."
"One hundred and twenty spirit stones!" Only one person raised the price, and the pleasant voice beside Li Xuanfeng suddenly echoed, and the scene was instantly quiet. Many people looked at Shen Luoyan in surprise, and they didn't expect her to raise the price directly to one hundred and twenty spirit stones. Li Xuanfeng was . When he saw Shen Luoyan didn't raise the price for the first bottle, he thought she was just trying it out, but he didn't expect that she was determined to get it.
After Shen Luoyan raised the price, no one else raised the price, so the second bottle of Perfect Spirit Gathering Pill was quickly won by Shen Luoyan.
The first item to be auctioned was this hard-to-find perfect pill, which instantly livened up the atmosphere of the auction hall. The sound of bidding continued, and finally the third bottle of Soul Gathering Pill was auctioned for 130 Spirit Stones, and the last bottle was auctioned for 150. Because no one could guarantee that they would be able to encounter this perfect Soul Gathering Pill in the future, when it came to the last two bottles, the disciples who had not won the first two bottles began to get anxious.
Li Xuanfeng was not surprised by the auction result of the Perfect Gathering Spirit Pill. Everything was as expected. Then Chen Cang started auctioning other items. People kept bidding and raising the price. However, there was nothing that Li Xuanfeng and Shen Luoyan liked , so neither of them bid.
When it came to the tenth item, Chen Cang took out the second item that Li Xuanfeng had commissioned for auction, the Perfect Huiyuan Pill.
"The next item to be auctioned is the Perfect Huiyuan Pill. There are twenty pills in total, divided into four bottles, with five pills in each bottle. The first bottle will be auctioned, and the starting price is fifty spirit stones."
There are also perfect-grade elixirs? Could it be that some high-level alchemists have lowered their status to refine this kind of perfect elixir?
There was a lot of discussion in the audience. The reason why perfect pills are rare is that even extremely talented alchemists find it extremely difficult to refine perfect pills of the same level. Although it is easier for high-level alchemists to refine low-level pills of perfect quality, alchemists have their own pride. Refining low-level pills is tantamount to lowering their status. They will never refine a large number of low-level pills and put them up for auction.
Although they were confused, it did not affect the enthusiasm of the audience to bid at all. If they missed this opportunity, they didn’t know when they would be able to see the perfect elixir again.
In the end, the auction result of the Perfect Huiyuan Pill was almost the same as that of the Juling Pill, and what puzzled Li Xuanfeng was that Shen Luoyan bid for another bottle. The Perfect Huiyuan Pill still had a significant healing effect on the Spiritual Foundation Realm, but it was no longer as good as the top-grade healing pills of the Spiritual Foundation Realm.
After bidding on a few more items, something that interested Li Xuanfeng finally appeared.
"The spirit core of the crystal earth raccoon, a spirit beast in the middle stage of the spirit foundation realm, has a very strong effect on cultivating earth attribute spirit power. The starting price is one hundred spirit stones!"
"One hundred and fifty spirit stones!" As soon as Chen Cang finished his introduction, the audience started to raise the price without hesitation.
"Two hundred spirit stones!"
"Three hundred spirit stones!" The voice that raised the price came from Li Xuanfeng, and it was also his first time raising the price in the auction tonight.
"Junior brother , if you don't have enough spirit stones, feel free to raise the price. I, your senior sister, still have nearly a thousand spirit stones." Shen Luoyan saw Li Xuanfeng bidding for the spirit core and was still worried that he didn't have enough spirit stones.
One thousand spirit stones was not a small amount. Shen Luoyan was well prepared this time and managed to get one thousand spirit stones from Han Yue. Although Han Yue was a little helpless about Shen Luoyan's cleverness, she was still very pleased to see that she went to the auction house for cultivation.
"Four hundred spirit stones!" Someone who was interested in the spirit core of the crystal earth raccoon raised the price again.
"Six hundred spirit stones!" Li Xuanfeng was determined to win, and he raised the price to six hundred spirit stones directly, not wanting to delay any longer, since he had a lot of spirit stones now anyway. The spirit core of the crystal earth raccoon was worth about five hundred spirit stones, and Li Xuanfeng raised the price to six hundred, and sure enough, no one raised the price any more.
"Six hundred spirit stones once, twice, deal. Congratulations to Mr. Li for winning the bid." Chen Cang respectfully addressed Li Xuanfeng as Mr. Li. Although this attracted some people's attention, no one thought much about it. They just thought that Chen Cang and Li Xuanfeng knew each other.
