Chapter 157 Auction
"...Generally speaking, the Law Enforcement Hall shouldn't be so careless. In this situation, there should be a Nascent Soul disciple leading the team.
Even if there are no Nascent Soul disciples, there will be law enforcement elders from the Law Enforcement Hall accompanying them.
However, there were neither Nascent Soul disciples nor Law Enforcement Hall elders in that team.
At that time, I guessed that there must be helpers hiding in the dark.
But I didn’t expect that the person who came would be the deputy sect leader.
Normally speaking, a task of this level wouldn't require the deputy sect leader to make a personal trip.
Now that I've read the newspaper, I understand why he came. It was all just a coincidence."
Jiang Li hesitated a bit and put the newspaper away.
"It seems that even our Wanfa Sect is very interested in the discovery of the Loulan ruins.
I just don't know how many people the sect sent over there.
There should be more than just the deputy suzerain going there."
Jiang Li wondered whether his master had gone there or not.
The place where the two of them are now settled is a small town.
The town is called Qingfeng Town. There are not many people in the town, but this town is different from Xiaofu Town.
Only mortals live in Xiaofu Town, but Qingfeng Town is different, as there are many immortal cultivators living here.
There are also several small immortal cultivation families settled here.
Although this town is not very big, in terms of prosperity, it is definitely incomparable to simple mortal towns like Xiaofu Town.
The sun was too strong at noon, so Jiang Li and Meng Jue originally planned to have lunch in Qingfeng Town and continue their journey when the sun was smaller.
Unexpectedly, after landing, I heard the news that the remains of the Immortal Dynasty had been unearthed.
Also, there will be an auction in town tomorrow.
Catalogs of the auction items have been distributed around the town.
Anyone interested can participate by paying ten low-grade spirit stones.
This kind of auction is not large in scale, and the participants are only some low-level cultivators or cultivators from small families.
As you can imagine, there wasn't much good stuff at the auction.
Jiang Li had no interest at first, but when she turned to a page of auction items, she stopped and looked.
"What's wrong?" Meng Jue asked in confusion when he saw her standing still.
"It seems like I need to go to the auction tomorrow."
The page she was looking at was a very special auction item.
It is only half a map.
As soon as she saw this half of the map, she realized that this was the missing part of the half of the map in her hand!
The half ticket in her hand was given to her by the socially anxious stall owner.
If she remembered correctly, the stall owner no longer set up his stall and had joined their Wanfa Sect.
She also didn't expect that this small place would have another half of the map!
If the two maps were put together, wouldn't she be able to tell what map it was?
Jiang Li wanted to attend the auction because he was interested in the other half of the map, but for Meng Jue, it didn't matter whether he went to the auction or not, as he didn't have anything he wanted to buy.
However, it is not impossible for him to accompany Jiang Li on the trip, but there is one question he must ask in advance.
He asked seriously, "Who pays for the entrance fee?"
Jiang Li responded generously, "I'll go."
Meng Jue: Then he has no objection. He doesn’t have to pay for it. He can just go.
The next day, Jiang Li and Meng Jue entered the auction hall wearing masks distributed by the auction that could conceal their appearance and aura.
Although the auction was not large in scale, it was well organized and even masks were included.
Although this mask is not a gift, you have to return it to the owner when you leave.
The auction venue is in the lobby on the first floor. At this time, there are already quite a few people sitting on the first floor.
As for the second floor, that is the VIP room, which is only accessible to wealthy people with invitation letters or assets exceeding 100,000 spirit stones.
As for those who don't have money, they can only squeeze in the hall with a group of people on the first floor. Fortunately, there are seats on the first floor, so people who attend the auction don't have to stand from beginning to end.
"Welcome everyone to the auction held by our Qingyuan Auction House. There are a total of thirty-nine items for auction..."
"...Now let's invite you to the first auction item."
As the host on the stage finished speaking, two beautiful female cultivators in the Qi Refining Stage came out from the back carrying a box.
The box was placed on the display stand. After putting down the auction items, the two female cultivators bowed slightly to the guests below the stage and retreated.
“This is our first auction item, a mid-grade spiritual weapon – the Azure Dragon Sword!
This auction item has been verified by Master Liu from our Qingyuan Auction House, and there is no problem with the auction item..."
"Wow! The first item to be auctioned is a mid-grade spiritual weapon!"
"This is a spiritual weapon. I only have a mid-level magic weapon and have never even touched a spiritual weapon!"
A man sitting not far from Jiang Li was looking at the spiritual weapon on the stage with longing. Even though he was wearing a mask, one could see the word "desire" written on his face.
"…The middle-grade spiritual weapon, Azure Dragon Blade, starts at three thousand lower-grade spiritual stones. Each bid increase must not be less than one hundred lower-grade spiritual stones. You can start bidding now!"
"Four thousand low-grade spirit stones!"
"Four thousand and five!"
"Four thousand six!"
"Five thousand!"
"Five thousand and five!"
There are quite a lot of people who are interested in this Qinglong Sword, and the competition is quite fierce.
However, most of the bids came from guests on the first floor, and none of the VIPs on the second floor made a bid.
Come to think of it, if they can go to the second floor, how could they be interested in a spiritual weapon?
If it is a high-level spiritual weapon, then it is possible. As for the mid-level ones, I think they will not be short of them.
After several rounds of bidding, the Qinglong Sword was bought by a male cultivator in the front row for 25,000 low-grade spirit stones.
After the male cultivator bought the Qinglong Sword, he immediately went backstage with the auction house staff. It was obvious that he had no intention of participating in the next auction and was planning to pay the money and leave.
As the male cultivator left, several people on the scene quietly left the auction hall.
I guess these people are just trying to rob each other.
As the first item was auctioned, the second item was immediately taken out.
The item for auction this time is a pill, and it is a pill that assists in forming pills.
After taking this pill, the chance of success in reaching the Golden Core realm can be increased by 20%.
Don’t underestimate these 20%. What if this is what the other person lacks?
Many low-level cultivators rushed to buy this pill. After all, this kind of pill that helps to break through a high level cannot be bought in ordinary pill shops.
Only auction houses occasionally have them.
Scarcity makes things valuable, so naturally more people are rushing to buy them.
The second auction item was bought by an old man.
This old man was probably a Foundation Establishment cultivator with poor talent. His life span was almost exhausted and he still hadn’t been able to break through to the Golden Core stage.
This pill is his only chance. If he fails, he can only lose his power and die.
The old man went to the backstage to pay and get the goods, and several monks followed him away.
The third and fourth items were also sold smoothly.
It wasn't until the tenth auction item that it finally came to Jiang Li's turn to get the half of the map that he wanted.
“Everyone, this is the tenth lot of this auction.
As you can see, this is a map.
After being appraised by several appraisers from our auction house, it was confirmed that this is an ancient map that has existed for countless years.
Its existence time is at least longer than..."
