Chapter 142 (Catch Bugs)(1/2)
As for what is produced in Guiwuxu, she doesn't believe a word. After all, this thing comes from the seller's mouth, because Guiwuxu is nearby. I don't know how many people claim that the things come from Guiwuxu in order to sell their things at a good price. But in fact, the tenth ones are all rags that I don't know where to find.
In this case, they encounter several times a month in auction houses, and there are never many people who hold some garbage as treasures. However, generally such people often have the idea of how much they can be sold. Like the owner of this piece of rag, it is rare to find people who have set the price at least a thousand medium-grade spirit stones or above.
Just when the girl thought that the rag was about to fail to take pictures again, a private room on the second floor suddenly appeared: "I'll release a thousand medium-grade spirit stones."
The girl was stunned for a moment, then looked happy: "The guest in the No. 9 box on the second floor offered 1,000 medium-grade spirit stones, is there anyone else who offered?"
A moment of silence suddenly appeared in the hall, and countless spiritual senses sprouted towards the box on the second floor. Unfortunately, these spiritual senses were blocked by the magic array carved outside the box, which was isolated from the exploration of the spiritual sense, and did not disclose the information of the guests inside.
"I'm going, there's such a fool who spends money to buy that rag."
"Don't worry, you'll have more money if you are stupid."
"Ha, could this be the one I found by the Qilian family auction house?
"Tsk tsk, a thousand medium-grade spirit stones, I don't know which prodigal son is from. I really want to see him. Maybe I can get a broken stone to sell it to him next time."
Many monks were whispering in a low voice, but without exception, they were very dissatisfied with the people in the box on the second floor to buy the rag.
It can appear at the Qilian family's auction, which proves that this thing has at least been identified by the Qilian family's appraiser, but the introduction of this rag is so simple, it is obvious that the Qilian family's appraiser has not found out the abnormality of the rag.
It's not possible to sell it for a month, which is enough to prove that this thing really has no value. Otherwise, even if no one can see the strangeness of this thing in a day or two, hasn't anyone noticed the abnormality of this rag for such a long time?
Everyone has the idea of picking up bargains, but it has long been recognized as garbage. Of course, no one will bid. Most of the people present had the same thoughts. They wanted to know what the fool on the second floor looked like. They were so rich that they were so rich that they spent thousands of medium-grade spirit stones to buy a piece of rag.
"No one bids, this piece of broken - Shenbugui was obtained by the guest of the No. 9 box on the second floor." The girl looked a little embarrassed, and the words "rag" almost blurted out just now. Fortunately, she reacted quickly and changed it in time. Otherwise, if the transaction failed, she would have lost the income of two medium-grade spirit stones.
With the girl's decision, this piece of rag that no one competed for fell into Xu Ziyan's pocket. People in the hall were talking, and three people in the box on the second floor looked at Xu Ziyan with confusion.
But unlike the people downstairs, no one of the three of them would question Xu Ziyan's behavior of buying the rag. They were all waiting for Xu Ziyan to explain what was so magical about this rag.
Xu Ziyan smiled: "I think the grimace on the rag is quite interesting, it looks like the grimace that my father teased me when he was a child."
Jiang Ying, Fang Tianrui:...
Both of them were a little speechless about Xu Ziyan's explanation. Only Xu Zirong looked at his brother with even more confusion. Xu Xiao has always been a serious father, making a face for Xu Ziyan? That is simply impossible to think about.
However, he did not ask at this time. As the saying goes, there are ears in the partition walls. In the private room of the Qilian family auction house, who can guarantee that there are no eavesdropping magic circles or spells here?
The four of them calmed down again and watched the auction below. Xu Ziyan even looked bored and occasionally took photos of some pills that were beneficial to them, and she looked like she was rich and generous.
In the quiet room of Qilian Auction:
An old man from the Jindan stage frowned slightly and looked at the middle-aged man opposite him: "You can't see anything that piece of cloth?"
The middle-aged man looked a little frightened: "Senior Hu, the villain did not notice anything abnormal in the cloth."
The old man stroked his beard and pondered for a while, and then another young man walked in from the quiet room and saluted him respectfully: "Master."
"What do they say?" the old man raised his head and asked.
The young man said respectfully: "The man who seemed to be the leader said that the face on the fast cloth looked very similar to his childhood father, so he bought the cloth for collection."
The old man was stunned for a moment, then waved his hand with a laugh and cry: "Forget it, even if this is really a treasure, he will not have a chance with my Qilian family."
The middle-aged man and the young man both retreated. The old man smiled and shook his head. As a worshiper of the Qilian family, he had seen most of the treasures of heaven and earth. He had no covetousness about the piece of rag. However, he vaguely felt that the rag was of extraordinary origin, so he found several appraisers. Even a Nascent Soul Elder from the Qilian family had seen it, but he still did not find any strangeness. He was very curious, so after someone bought the piece of cloth, he deliberately opened the formation and eavesdropped on the content of the guest's conversation.
"Why are you so old and still can't stand it out?" The old man smiled mockingly, then put aside the rag and entered into a meditation again.
When the entire auction ended, Xu Ziyan and his team's spirit stone, the rag and other elixirs were all sent over by the people in the auction hall.
"Please take it, this is your spirit stone, this is the item you took." The young waiter respectfully handed over a spirit stone bag, a box, and seven or eight porcelain bottles.
Xu Ziyan took the spirit stone bag, swept his spiritual sense, and then put it away after confirming that the quantity inside was correct.
He put the other things into the Qiankun bag casually. He always felt as if a spiritual sense was staring at him, so he was very careful and did not put the things into the square.
"Several guests, this is the VIP silver medal of my Qilian family. Anyone who holds the VIP silver medal of my Qilian family can enjoy a 10% discount on items purchased in my Qilian store." The young waiter handed over a silver card, and several small magic circles were carved on the card surface. It was nothing more than a convenient effect of dust removal and concentration. It is not very effective, but it is very convenient.
"Thank you then." Xu Ziyan was not polite and accepted the card. No matter how small the mosquito is, it is still meat. It doesn't seem to be much, but it accumulates a lot. If he has any bulk purchases in the future, he will save more.
The guests on the second floor are all VIPs in the auction hall, so they naturally enjoy special passages. Although the people in the hall really want to see what the stupid and expensive prodigal son looks like, they are not using the same passage at all.
He sent Xu Ziyan and the other four out of the auction hall. The young waiter turned around and returned and entered the secret room where the old man practiced: "Master, will you just let them go like this?"
The old man slowly opened his eyes and looked at the young man and smiled: "Zifan, you have to remember that there are countless opportunities in this world. Some people even blinked and missed it once. The elders of the Bulian clan did not understand the truth. What can you do if you got it?"
After saying that, he patted Zifan on the shoulder: "I know you have been trapped in Ningmai for ten years and are a little impatient, but such a chance is unhurried. Be patient. The reason why I applied to attend the auction last year was to find a breakthrough for you from here. Disciple, be patient."
"Thank you for your advice from Master. Zifan is anxious." The young man said with gratitude.
"Go and bring tomorrow's auction catalog. If there is anything strange, don't forget to send it to me."
“Yes, Master.”
After the young man finished speaking, he left. When he left, there was no anxiety on his face, but he calmly looked for his own opportunity.
***
With his pockets filled with spirit stones, Xu Ziyan naturally started purchasing various items with great wealth. Which elixir purchased at the auction house is rare and helps break through the elixir, and the elixirs used to replenish spiritual power still need to be purchased in batches.
In addition to the pills, they also need to buy two good flying swords. Although he and Xu Zirong do not need weapons for the time being, Jiang Ying and Fang Tianrui, whose cultivation has greatly increased, their original weapons are no longer suitable for them to continue to use.
After inquiring, I learned that the best magic weapon store in Tunri City is called Jiange. As soon as I heard this, I knew that this store must be operating various flying swords.
Xu Ziyan led the other three into the gate of Jiange, and soon welcomed the shopkeeper inside, a cute fat man.
"My fellow Taoists, I wonder what you need?" the shopkeeper asked enthusiastically.
"I heard that your flying swords are of the best quality?" Xu Ziyan asked.
"Of course, all the flying swords in the shop are carefully crafted top-quality magic weapons, and the quality is absolutely useless." The shop owner immediately looked proud when he mentioned his goods.
"Oh? Then take a few handfuls out and take a look?" Xu Ziyan asked with great interest.
The shop owner looked at the four of them and asked carefully: "I wonder which fellow Taoist wants to buy the flying sword?"
"Hmm? Why? You guys can still look at people when buying flying swords?" Xu Ziyan said curiously.
Xu Zirong did not participate in the conversation between her brother and the shopkeeper, but instead watched some flying swords hanging on the wall with Jiang Ying and Fang Tianrui.
There were about thirty flying swords on the wall, each of which was deeply inserted into the inside of the wall. Xu Ziyan and the shopkeeper did not pay attention when chatting, but Xu Zirong saw it clearly. The material of the wall was absolutely extraordinary, at least in terms of hardness, it was not much worse than that of the ten thousand-year-old black iron.
Moreover, a very strange magic array was painted on the wall. The patterns of the magic array were very strange. Xu Zirong was also considered a magic array, but after studying for a long time, he still couldn't figure out what the function of this magic array was.
"Why, the guests are interested in my sword test wall?" The shopkeeper did not neglect the other three guests while greeting Xu Ziyan, and would chat a few times from time to time. Jiang Ying and Fang Tianrui looked at it for a while, but did not notice that the flying swords on the wall were special, so they simply stood behind Xu Ziyan.
"Try the sword wall?" Xu Zirong did not respond to the shopkeeper, but Xu Ziyan was attracted by the shopkeeper's interest.
"That's right, the sword test wall in the shop is made of imitation sword tombs. Only when opportunities match can the sword be used, the shopkeeper looked glamorous when he talked about the sword test wall.
"Then are there any restrictions on using the sword test wall?" Xu Ziyan asked.
The shopkeeper smiled: "Guest, this sword test wall was made by my boss who worked hard and collected countless expensive materials. When my boss was born and died several times for those precious materials, he entered major dangerous places several times... and even when he was refining..."
"Stop!" Seeing that the shopkeeper's expression was fanatical and bragging about their boss, Xu Ziyan quickly stopped him. "Just tell me, how much does it cost to draw a sword?"
"You are wrong with the guest. How can this be drawn? This is looking for opportunities. Only when the attributes match can you draw the sword. If the attributes are not in harmony, it will be useless for you to spend no matter how much money you spend." The shopkeeper said with a smile.
Xu Ziyan curled his lips secretly, and the opportunity depends on the spirit stone.
"Don't think I'm joking," the shopkeeper said seriously: "Each flying sword on the sword test wall is at least at the level of a top-grade magic weapon. If you are lucky, you even have magic weapons, these flying swords are collected from everywhere by my boss through great difficulty, and each one is not an ordinary one."
"Oh, as you say, the best flying swords in your store are all on that wall?"
"That's right. If the customer only buys a flying sword in a small store, he can only buy a top-grade flying sword at most, but if he uses this sword test wall..." The shopkeeper smiled mysteriously: "Maybe you are lucky and may be able to obtain a mid-grade magic weapon flying sword."
Xu Ziyan laughed. The shopkeeper will really arouse people's appetite. If ordinary people come to this store and are fooled by him, as long as the price of this sword test wall is not outrageous, most people will probably try it. After all, everyone has a gambling spirit. Who doesn't want to spend very little money but buy very expensive flying swords?
"Test the sword wall at a time, ten medium-grade spirit stones." In the end, the shopkeeper quoted the price.
Xu Ziyan calculated and found that the price was not very expensive. He turned around and looked at Fang Tianrui and Jiang Ying: "How is it? Are you interested in giving it a try?"
Fang Tianrui and Jiang Ying looked at each other and nodded with a little excited.
"Where is Zirong? Do you want to try it too?" Xu Ziyan looked in Xu Zirong's direction again.
Xu Ziyan took out a high-grade spirit stone from his pocket and handed it to the shopkeeper. The shopkeeper's face immediately smiled into a brilliant chrysanthemum. He quickly took out the spirit stone bag and retrieved eighty medium-grade spirit stones.
Jiang Ying and Fang Tianrui stood in front of the sword test wall with eagerness. Xu Zirong happened to pass by them and whispered something.
Fang Tianrui was stunned for a moment, then approached the sword test wall thoughtfully. He did not try to draw the sword directly, but closed his eyes and stood there quietly, as if he was feeling something.
Seeing this, a glimmer flashed in his eyes, but he did not do anything extra, but was still sitting there with Xu Ziyan having tea and chatting.
After a few breaths, Fang Tianrui suddenly opened his eyes and then walked towards the corner with a somewhat worn-out flying sword.
The flying sword has been around for a long time, and there is still a piece of it empty at the handle, as if the jade pendant originally embedded there was lost.
The sword inserted into the wall was covered in rust. If he hadn't really sensed the sword's emitting a very faint thought to respond to his call, he would never have chosen such a sword to try.
Zheng!
While Fang Tianrui drew his sword, a metal clash sounded, and the rust sword came out, trembling constantly after Fang Tianrui inputted spiritual power.
The rust on it fell one after another, revealing a cold appearance.
"Good sword!" Jiang Ying couldn't help but exclaim. He stood beside Fang Tianrui's side, closest to him, and clearly felt a layer of strong sharp power flowing on the sword.
"The low-grade magic weapon of gold-type - Breaking arrow." The shopkeeper sighed: "This fellow Taoist is so lucky. He actually picked up a low-grade magic weapon with one pick."
"What? Is the shopkeeper feeling distressed?" Xu Ziyan couldn't help but quip.
The shopkeeper laughed: "Do not joke, fellow Taoist, since the shop dared to set up this sword test wall, he naturally thought that the sword above would definitely find their master."
