Volume 6: The Mighty Starry Sky Chapter 673 Auction
The reception girl brought Li Xuanfeng to the teleportation array quickly and spoke softly again: "Senior, take out the token given by the elders before, inject spiritual power to activate it, and then you can enter the teleportation array."
Li Xuanfeng took out the token given by the second-level elder, directly injected spiritual power into it, and condensed a word on the token: Li.
After being injected with spiritual power, the token recorded Li Xuanfeng's breath and name, making it convenient to record the bidding in the auction later.
Ordinary cultivators can only enter the auction house by handing over valuable spirit stones in exchange for similar tokens.
Seeing that there was only a surname on Li Xuanfeng's token, not his full name, the receptionist did not say much, but made a gesture of invitation to Li Xuanfeng and said softly, "Senior, please come in."
Li Xuanfeng nodded slightly and stepped directly into the teleportation array. Suddenly, a teleportation light shone around him and his figure disappeared in an instant.
The cultivators who were discussing the matter were not surprised to see Li Xuanfeng being respectfully invited by the Trading Pavilion to enter the auction hall. Considering the resources that Li Xuanfeng was selling and his speculated identity, it was not surprising that the Trading Pavilion was so respectful.
It was the respectful attitude of the Trading Pavilion towards Li Xuanfeng that made many cultivators believe that Li Xuanfeng was a member of the five major forces.
Who would have thought that it was their speculation that made the Trading Pavilion more respectful to Li Xuanfeng, and the Trading Pavilion's respect made them more convinced of their own speculation.
At this time, near the teleportation array, some cultivators were discussing handing over a certain amount of spirit stones to enter the auction house, but they saw Li Xuanfeng being respectfully invited by the people from the trading pavilion to enter the auction house, and envy immediately appeared on their faces.
They could only hand over extremely valuable spirit stones before entering the auction house, while Li Xuanfeng was respectfully welcomed into the auction house by the people from the trading pavilion. Needless to say, the gap between them was huge.
You know, the price to enter the auction is extremely high, and the auction of the second level is even more painful for ordinary cultivators.
To enter the second level auction house, you need ten top-grade spirit stones!
The top-grade spirit stone is a spirit stone that emits a faint golden glow. Its entire body is as pure and flawless as uncut jade. It is condensed from the extremely pure spiritual power and mineral essence between heaven and earth.
However, top-grade spirit stones are quite rare, and only in some extremely special places can you find top-grade spirit stone mines.
Moreover, the size of the top-grade spirit stone mine is far smaller than that of the ordinary spirit stone mine, and the number of top-grade spirit stones produced is small, which makes the price of top-grade spirit stones extremely high.
Even though Li Xuanfeng robbed a group of star pirates of their resources, there were only over ten thousand top-grade spirit stones in his storage ring now.
To enter the second level auction house of Tianyun City Trading Pavilion, one needs to pay ten top-grade spirit stones.
You know, based on the current market on Hongyuan Star, one top-grade spirit stone is enough to exchange for ten thousand lower-grade spirit stones, or one thousand middle-grade spirit stones. Even a top-grade spirit stone can be exchanged for one hundred!
In other words, to enter this second-level auction house, one needs to pay a full 100,000 low-grade spirit stones!
This is a sum of resources that an ordinary first-level cultivator would find difficult to come up with, and this is just the entrance fee. More top-quality spirit stones will be needed to bid after entering the auction house.
After entering the second realm, ordinary spirit stones are rarely used for transactions. Almost all of them are exchanged with top-grade spirit stones, or cultivation materials or magic weapons of equal value.
Although ten top-grade spirit stones are not too much for a cultivator in the second realm, it is just the entrance fee, which makes many people have to think twice.
The items that appeared in the Second Realm Auction House were worth far more than the entrance fee of ten top-grade spirit stones. The bidding attracted many cultivators to scramble for them, causing the transaction price to increase again.
If you don't have extremely good financial resources, you wouldn't dare to enter the auction house to bid.
However, there are many wealthy cultivators in Tianyun City, and many cultivators from outside Tianyun City come to participate in the auction, so despite the high admission fee, there are still a large number of cultivators entering the auction hall.
When Li Xuanfeng appeared again, he was already in the closed auction room on the second floor of the trading pavilion.
There are four auction houses built in the trading pavilion, two first-level auction houses and two second-level auction houses.
Although the second-level auction house is decorated more luxuriously than the first-level auction house, its scope is not as large.
Because the number of second-level cultivators is far less than that of first-level cultivators, the number of cultivators participating in the auction is naturally much smaller.
As soon as Li Xuanfeng entered the auction hall, he immediately attracted the attention of many cultivators, some of whom recognized Li Xuanfeng.
The person who recognized Li Xuanfeng was the cultivator he happened to meet on the second floor of the trading pavilion when he was selling resources last time.
Someone suddenly said in a low voice in surprise: "The real owner has finally appeared. He is the cultivator who sold a large amount of second-level resources to the trading pavilion."
After hearing this person's words, all eyes in the auction hall immediately focused on Li Xuanfeng.
Even the cultivators who were originally dozing off opened their eyes and looked at Li Xuanfeng who appeared in the teleporting light.
There have been many rumors about Li Xuanfeng during this period. Not only is he already a cultivator in the Human Profound Realm at a young age, but he is also an alchemist close to the Earth Profound Realm. He is also very likely to be a member of the most mysterious Huadan Sect among the five major forces!
Although these are all speculations by many monks, it is often the case that as rumors spread, many people believe them to be true...
However, most of the people here are cultivators of the second realm, and their temperaments are naturally much more stable than those of the first realm. Although almost everyone looked at Li Xuanfeng with surprise, they quickly withdrew their gazes.
Only some of the first-level cultivators kept their gazes fixed on Li Xuanfeng for a long time.
After Li Xuanfeng entered the auction hall, he chose a seat at the back.
The scope of the Second Realm Auction Hall was not large, with only two hundred seats, but it faced Second Realm cultivators. Even a small number of First Realm cultivators among them were of extremely distinguished status.
Despite this, most of the two hundred seats were already occupied, with only fifty or sixty seats left vacant.
A moment after Li Xuanfeng sat down, ten more people were teleported into the auction hall, including the cultivator who was hesitating outside the teleportation array, and a few others who entered out of curiosity about Li Xuanfeng.
At this moment, above the auction table in the auction center, the space suddenly fluctuated slightly, and a middle-aged man in a Taoist robe suddenly appeared there.
The man in the Taoist robe bowed slightly in the air, smiled and said, "This auction will be hosted by Chen, please bear with me."
When he appeared, the man in Taoist robes released the aura of his cultivation with all his strength. The terrifying cultivation of the late Earth Profound Realm instantly enveloped the entire auction hall!
This is to deter the many monks in the auction house so that they will not disrupt the order of the auction house!
However, the man in the Taoist robe retracted his cultivation power in an instant, then smiled and said, "Chen declares that the auction has officially begun!"
As his words spread, eight girls with superior looks and figures walked out from behind the auction table, holding exquisite jade plates in their hands, on which were placed the items to be auctioned.
What instantly attracted everyone's attention were the five brightly glowing stones placed on a jade plate in the hands of the first girl.
"Star Melody Stone! And these seem to be the last few Star Melody Stones to be auctioned recently." An informed person murmured softly.
However, everyone here has extremely high cultivation levels, so how could they not hear his words? Many people immediately showed dissatisfaction on their faces.
They already knew that this person was obviously a proxy for the auction house, whose purpose was to make the bidding for the Xingyun Stone more intense.
However, this is also a potential means tacitly accepted by many auction houses, and people are not in a position to say anything. Moreover, the power of the Trading Pavilion is extremely amazing, even close to the five major forces, and not many cultivators dare to offend it.
The middle-aged man in Taoist robes also smiled and said, "The first auction item is five Star Rhythm Stones, and the starting price is one hundred top-grade spirit stones!"
His words instantly stirred up the atmosphere in the auction hall, and countless people immediately began to bid.
"Two hundred top-grade spirit stones!"
"I'll give you two hundred and fifty!"
"Five hundred top-grade spirit stones!" Some wealthy people were too lazy to wait for everyone to add a little bit at a time, so they directly shouted out five hundred top-grade spirit stones!
Seeing everyone bidding for the Xingyun Stone in an extremely intense atmosphere, Li Xuanfeng's expression remained calm, and he even closed his eyes slightly, as if he didn't care about the auction item at all.
He came here just to take a look at Hong Yuanxing's auction house, and to see if there was anything he needed being auctioned, and to take a look at the auction status of the things he was selling.
In the end, the Star Melody Stone was bought by a young man for one thousand top-grade spirit stones. Although the other cultivators looked regretful, they had to stop bidding, otherwise the price of the Star Melody Stone would exceed the original price by too much.
The normal value of five Star Melody Stones is only five hundred top-grade spirit stones, but due to the scarcity of Star Melody Stones and the auction, the price has been raised to one thousand top-grade spirit stones.
If I continue to raise the price and other monks do not increase their prices, I will suffer a great loss.
As time goes by, more and more items are auctioned, but their value is not constantly increasing. In addition, there are many items auctioned that are far less valuable than the Star Stone.
This is a common tactic used by auction houses. Generally, a valuable item will be auctioned first, which will thoroughly stir up the atmosphere in the auction house and allow the subsequent items to be auctioned at good prices.
After the item on the jade plate in her hand was sold, the girl on the auction table would walk to the back, put on the next item to be auctioned, and follow behind.
Although there were quite a few items up for auction, nothing that caught Li Xuanfeng's eye appeared after most of the auction. He never opened his eyes, let alone spoke a word.
After a while, the man in Taoist robes raised his hand and waved it. With a dull vibration from the auction table, a black alchemy furnace about ten feet in size suddenly fell to the ground!
The man in the Taoist robe smiled and said, "This alchemy furnace is called Black Star, and it is made of extremely pure meteorite iron !"
