Chapter 86 The auction begins
Three days have passed and the triennial Luoyunfang Market Fair is about to begin.
In the past few days, the number of monks in Luoyunfang City has doubled. Except for the monks who cannot escape, all the monks who have not practiced in seclusion will come to participate in the auction.
After all, it happens once every three years, and every time there are treasures that are hard to see.
Although many monks below the fifth level of cultivation do not have much purchasing power, they still like to join in the fun, and it is also good to broaden their horizons.
Lin Tianming and Lin Xingzhi walked out of the Baobao Building together and walked towards the auction venue in the middle of Fangshi.
All the monks scattered along the way were heading to the auction. There were men and women, with varying levels of cultivation. The whole market became lively.
Within half a quarter of an hour, Lin Tianming and his two men appeared at the entrance of the auction.
Lin Tianming participated in the auction in Luoyunfang City for the first time and couldn't help but look at the huge building in front of him.
What caught the eye was a three-story circular stone hall, covering an area of dozens of acres. There was a plaque hanging on a huge stone door with the words "auction" engraved on it.
There are already more than ten monks queuing up at the entrance, and two auction deacons are collecting the spiritual stones that have entered the auction.
Lin Xingzhi led Lin Tianming directly past the monks queuing up and walked towards the venue.
Lin Xingzhi showed a blue token with a few small words on it. The deacon glanced at it and let him go, and the two of them disappeared in the envious eyes of everyone.
After Lin Tianming inquired, it turned out that the city managers of the five major families had a token that allowed five monks to enter directly, and there was also a VIP room covering an area of several square meters.
Entering the auction house, there is a circular table in the middle, surrounded by hundreds of seats. It is an ordinary area of the auction house, and nearly half of the seats are occupied.
Lin Xingzhi took Lin Tianming to a VIP room on the second floor. After entering, Lin Xingzhi said to Lin Tianming: "Tianming, I'm going to submit the finale prepared by the family. I'll be back soon. You can rest here for a while!"
"Yes!"
After saying that, Lin Xingzhi turned around and left the VIP room, and walked deep into the second floor.
Lin Tianming, who had nothing to do, was sitting in the VIP room, looking at the auction.
There are also dozens of VIP rooms on the second floor of the auction, all of which have the function of isolating spiritual detection. The layout of the entire auction is not much different from that of Qiankawabo City, it is almost a miniature version.
A quarter of an hour passed, and as the seats in the venue gradually filled up, Lin Xingzhi also returned to the VIP room.
The two chatted, and Lin Tianming was also very curious and asked what kind of treasure the family provided as the finale.
Seeing that Lin Tianming was a little interested, he started talking.
"The family attaches great importance to this fair. The finale is a set of five first-class, high-quality spiritual swords, which were refined by Uncle Fifteen!"
Lin Tianming didn't seem surprised when he heard Lin Xingzhi's explanation.
Thinking about it, the Lin family's Qing Ling Bamboo is a good weapon training material, and its specialty is spiritual weapons. Although there are many elixirs, those with greater effects will not be sold at this time.
Therefore, taking out the spiritual weapon is also expected.
Think about it, it cost [-] good deeds to refine twenty Earthly Evil Swords and just buy Qingling Bamboo. The set of five Spiritual Swords are all first-grade top-grade ones and are of high value. They are enough to be used as the finale.
A quarter of an hour later, hundreds of seats were filled, and a man in gray robe stepped onto the table in the middle.
Lin Xingzhi sat aside and introduced Lin Tianming.
This person's name is Chen Chong, a professional auctioneer and a casual practitioner of Qi Refining Dzogchen who was specially invited by Fangshi.
As the auction house gradually became quiet, Chen Chong cupped his fists and said.
"Fellow Taoists, I am Chen Chong, who has been invited to host this auction. I welcome you all here!"
"Everyone knows the rules. The one with the highest bid wins. If the spirit stones are not enough, you can use treasures as collateral. Okay, without further ado, the auction will begin now!" After speaking, Chen Chong took out a ring-shaped treasure from his storage bag and displayed it. To the monks present.
"The first auction item is a first-level high-grade spirit beast ring. It has a space of more than a hundred feet and is divided into several areas. It can accommodate several monster beasts at the same time. It is very rare. Don't miss it!"
"The starting price is 80 yuan of spiritual stones, and each increase in price must not be less than five yuan of spiritual stones!"
"90 Yuan Lingshi..."
"95 spiritual stones..."
As soon as Chen Chong finished speaking, monks immediately started bidding.
It is actually a top-grade spirit beast ring. This item is rare and is a must-have for monks who like to raise spirit beasts. Generally, it is only sold in medium-sized markets like Qianchuanbo City, and it was quickly sold out.
Lin Tianming also wanted to bid for this thing. The spirit beast bag Lin Shilu gave him before was the lowest spirit beast bag. After containing the purple golden eagle, there was not much space left. If the purple golden eagle continued to grow, it would be difficult to accommodate it. .
After several rounds of bidding, the price of the spirit beast ring quickly soared to 130 spirit stones.
"160 spiritual stones..."
Hearing Lin Tianming's bid, which increased by 30 yuan of spirit stones, the whole place was in an uproar, and many monks sighed with emotion.
"They should be from the five major families. They are really wealthy. How many Lingyuan pills can be bought for 150 spirit stones to practice!"
Sure enough, everyone in the audience was shocked by the sudden increase of 30 yuan of spiritual stones.
Several breaths passed without any monks bidding, and Lin Tianming successfully bid.
He took out 160 spirit stones and threw them at Chen Chong. After confirming that they were correct, he threw the spirit beast ring back and was caught by Lin Tianming.
Picking up the spirit beast ring, Lin Tianming couldn't put it down and looked at it.
The first auction ended, and the extremely high price aroused a warm atmosphere, which was considered a good start.
Chen Chong continued to host the auction.
"The second lot is a first-level mid-grade spiritual weapon, the Diamond Sword. It is very powerful. The base price is 70 spiritual stones. Each increase in price must not be less than three spiritual stones."
"75 spiritual stones..."
"One hundred and five spiritual stones..."
……
Lin Tianming had no interest in the spiritual treasures and only watched many monks bidding in the VIP room.
Although Lin Tianming looked down on him, some monks below the fifth level of Qi Refining were still pretty good. The competition was fierce, and the final deal was for 110 spiritual stones, which was bought by a monk at the fifth level of Qi Refining.
Lin Tianming was very surprised by the price. A first-level mid-grade spiritual weapon was only worth 80 yuan of spirit stones. A better-quality 100-yuan spirit stone was unexpectedly worth 110 yuan.
I can't help but sigh that all the items in this small market are more expensive than those in medium and large markets.
Withdrawing his thoughts, he continued to observe the auction.
An hour later, dozens of items had been auctioned, and none of them had failed, and the atmosphere in the entire venue became more and more lively.
During this period, Lin Tianming spent hundreds of spiritual stones and captured several elixirs, all of which were the main ingredients for refining the powerful elixir.
Lin Xingzhi also took photos of several treasures, and both of them gained something.
As time passed, the auction came to an end, and only the last ten items were left.
