Chapter 262 Geng Jin
"Little Grandpa, do you have any way to cultivate these seeds?" Zhong Lifeng said.
"Try it, maybe there's a way," Watson said.
Someone next to him laughed, "Young man, someone has tried your ideas long ago. But no one has ever succeeded. You are completely futile."
"If others can't make it out, my young grandfather can't make it out?" Zhong Lifeng said.
"Do you know why spiritual medicine is rare? It is because spiritual medicine has very strict requirements on the environment. Now there is a lack of spiritual energy, and there is no environment suitable for spiritual medicine to grow. If you can find the cave left by the great monk, there is such a possibility. If you want to use other methods, you can only be delusional." The man looked like an experienced monk.
"There is nothing absolute in the world. Maybe one day my grandfather will cultivate the spiritual medicine." Although Zhong Lifeng agreed with the man's words in his heart, he still refused to admit defeat.
The man also beat him up and did not argue too much with Zhong Lifeng.
Watson didn't say anything. He was thinking about how to use this spiritual seed to cultivate spiritual medicine after going back. The astrological array can collect the energy of heaven and earth. As long as it is purified in a certain way, it can form a secret realm with abundant spiritual energy in a local area, or a cave.
It may not be easy to build a "cave", but it is not impossible. When Watson encountered spiritual medicine, whether it was a living or a seed or a living plant, Watson did not let go of any of them. Fortunately, when he came, he was well prepared and there was no situation where he could not pay.
"I got a good harvest today. I've been shopping almost, and I can go back." Watson said.
"Young Grandpa, you're wrong. The highlight of the market has not officially begun yet." Zhong Lifeng said.
"What's the highlight?" Watson asked.
"Little Grandpa, have you not seen that so far, the things that appear in the market are all low-end products. Most of them can be purchased with only enough money. Don't you find it strange?" Zhong Lifeng asked.
"Yes. I thought everyone had nothing good in their hands now. Is there any place to sell better things?" Watson asked.
"Of course. It's like street stall goods are like shopping mall goods. Can you expect to buy good goods on street stalls? Real good goods must be bought in shopping malls. The same is true in this market. Things that cannot be placed on the table are sold through stalls because their grade is too low, so there is no need to sell them in other forms. There is only one place for high-end goods in the market, and that is the auction house." Zhong Lifeng said.
"There are auction houses in the market?" This was the first time Watson heard about it.
"Of course. A real good product can only be sold at a good price in the auction house. We suffered a loss when we bought that person's spiritual medicine seeds just now. In fact, at most one or two Qi Gathering Pills can be exchanged. If Qi Gathering Pills are placed at the auction house for auction, they can definitely be sold at a good price." Zhong Lifeng said.
"Where is the auction house? There should be conditions for entering the auction house?" Watson asked.
"That's sure. If there is no limit on conditions, everyone will break into it, so it won't be messed up? The auction house is right in front. It is also an auction house, but the ones you buy are usually ordinary things, only the opening date of the market. Some monks' items will be auctioned. Fortunately, our Zhong family has an invitation letter from the auction house, so we can go in." Zhong Lifeng said.
The auction house had already opened at this time, and there were not enough for a few strong men to guard the door. You could tell at a glance that they were definitely masters.
Any monk must present an invitation letter when he arrives at the door. There are many types of invitation letters. One is that the Hidden Family can directly obtain a certain number of invitation letters. The second is to pay a certain deposit to obtain the invitation letter. The third is to entrust the auction house to auction with high-end auction items.
When Watson and Zhong Lifeng entered the auction hall, Zhong Lifeng showed the invitation letter.
"Please come in." The strong men politely invited the two to the auction house.
"Young Grandpa, do you see that? This auction house is not simple at all. The four people guarding the gate at the gate are all masters of hidden power. This auction house is the common industry of the four hidden families in Yanjing. The four hidden families in Yanjing are the strongest in the Qingmen family, followed by the Bai family, our Zhong family ranks third and the Li family ranks fourth. Naturally, there are more than these four hidden families, but these four are talking about in Yanjing." Zhong Lifeng said.
"No wonder you were able to come up with an invitation letter," Watson said.
Zhong Lifeng smiled embarrassedly. He did have the intention to show off just now, but Watson didn't expect to see it.
Zhong Lifeng and Watson are in a separate private room. This is a treatment that only super VIPs can enjoy. As the young master of the Zhong family, it is naturally not difficult to win a private room.
You can enjoy more services in the private room than ordinary seats outside. For example, if you open the service terminal in the private room, you can directly check all the items to be auctioned tonight, with all the detailed information about these items. In this way, you can determine what you want to get in advance.
"Hey, Geng Jin?" This is something that only monks in the Yuanshen stage can refine with Taiyi True Fire. It is said that there must be such a material in the refining materials of the Qiankun Bag. Watson was extremely surprised.
"Actually, this thing is nothing." Zhong Lifeng said.
Although Geng metal is good, it is difficult to come in handy now. Firstly, although using Geng metal can make a very good magic weapon, the raw materials used must be high-end materials like Geng metal. Secondly, now is not the era of fighting and killing. Even if high-end attack magic weapon is refined, it may not be useful. It is a waste of money to count. And the most important thing is that Geng metal requires Taiyi True Fire to melt, and ordinary monks can only use Geng metal as a lump when they get Geng metal.
Watson nodded, "Since it's useless, it shouldn't be expensive, let's take a photo."
"Since you like it, we will buy it." Zhong Lifeng said.
"Hey, there is a thousand-year-old ginseng here. This thing must be taken." Watson said. Ginseng is the monarch of many kinds of elixirs. If there is thousand-year-old ginseng, Watson is confident to refine more advanced elixirs.
"This thing is not cheap." Zhong Lifeng said.
"Then you have to change the elixir, too." Watson said.
"Okay. I took it down." Zhong Lifeng said.
Watson was attracted to a variety of auction items in a row, but it was very difficult to win them all. After all, any good thing is the focus of the monks' competition.
"Thank you very much for your visit. Today is the most important auction in the annual cultivation world. Fellow Daoist from all over the country actively participates in this auction. The number of auction items in this auction is so large and the quality is the best in history. The auction rules are as follows..." The host began to read out the auction rules.
The unit used for auction here is not RMB, but Tianchensha. Tianchensha has now become a hard currency. Because of its limited quantity, the effect of preservation is very strong. Moreover, Tianchensha itself is an indispensable material for refining magic weapons. It is also small in size, high in density, and high in value. It is also a good way to use it as a monk's currency.
Of course, in addition to using Tianchen Sand to participate in the auction, monks can also use any items that can be obtained from the auction house to conduct auctions. Many of these items will become the targets for future auctions. Of course, the truly valuable ones will naturally not be evenly divided by the four major families.
The first auction item is an innate spiritual treasure, which is said to be specially refined by a master of the Baodan stage for his descendants. It is extremely powerful.
"The bottom price is ten taels of star sand."
Ten taels of star sand are not very low prices. The broken bronze mirror Watson got before immediately contained less than one cent of star sand.
Watson didn't even look at it. Such an innate spiritual treasure was not as good as the treasure hidden on him. There were so many good things that he had seen, and this ordinary spiritual treasure in the auction house was hardly able to catch Watson's eyes.
"Eleven or two stars."
Watson doesn’t like it, but it doesn’t mean others don’t like it either. Someone bids soon.
"Twelve taels." The monk raised his sign again.
"Fifteen taels!" someone said loudly.
"Please note that once this auction is auctioned, the agreement must be fulfilled." The host reminded.
However, the bidding did not stop because of the host's warning.
"Sixteen taels."
...
Just like this, a congenital spiritual treasure that Watson looked down upon at all, actually captured thirty taels of star sand.
"This thing doesn't feel very good!" Watson didn't understand much.
"Young Master, you're wrong. For you, this thing is not very good. But for other monks, there is an extra life invisibly. The monks often float around and sometimes encounter danger. In the depths of some primeval forests, there may be something unexpected to us." Zhong Lifeng said.
Watson nodded. After all, no one can have endless paper talismans like himself.
The first item that Watson was interested in made Watson a little depressed. Before Watson raised his sign, he had already shown a white-hot heat.
"Geng metal is sixteen taels. The base price is one hundred taels of star sand."
Compared with Star Sand, Geng Jin is naturally a higher-end thing, not to mention that there are as many as sixteen taels. If it can be refined, many magic weapons with great power can be refined.
"Two hundred taels!" Before Zhong Lifeng could speak, someone immediately called a high price.
Zhong Lifeng rolled his eyes, "When did Xingchensha become so cheap? Is this Gengjin not useful even if I buy it?"
"Buy it. Maybe it will be useful in the future." Watson said.
Zhong Lifeng nodded. As the young master of the Zhong family, he didn't need to pay on site and just had an auction store to keep accounts. So he was not very worried. He just felt like he was a sucker for a while.
"Two hundred and eighty taels!"
