MTL - I Try To Become An Immortal Through Mortal Science-Chapter 24 Inside Taste of the Fair
Chapter 24 Inside Taste of the Trade Fair
Said it was a private fair, but Liu Jing brought Luo Hong to the largest auction house in Fang City, and at this time there were quite a few immortal cultivators entering and leaving the takeaway shop, so there was no privacy at all.
Perhaps seeing Luo Hong's doubts, Liu Jing gave him a rough explanation.
The original initiator of the fair was a late-stage foundation monk in Huangfeng Valley who was very good at making friends. His original intention was to make it easier for his friends to barter with each other, and he did not set any rules that must be kept secret. .
This person not only has good friends all over the seven factions of the Yue Kingdom, but also has old acquaintances in the neighboring Yuanwu Kingdom, so the probability of good things appearing at the fair is much higher than that of ordinary auction houses.
His friends have benefited, and they will often bring their friends with them when they come next time. In this way, several rounds of trade fairs have been held, and the scale has reached the level where it is impossible to hide.
So, this person simply put the fair on the bright side and entrusted it to the auction house to hold it. He only needs to host it every time, and he can get a lot of money.
Foundation establishment is the basic requirement for entering the auction house during the fair, but each foundation establishment monk can bring one person in.
Liu Jing and Luo Hong were led to sit in an elegant seat by the mortal maid in the auction house, and after serving spiritual tea, they stood quietly by the side.
Luo Hong looked around, and saw that there were similar elegant seats all around, surrounding a high platform in the center in a fan shape.
"There are a lot more people this year."
Liu Jing silently counted the number of immortal cultivators in the foundation-building stage who had taken their seats. So far, there are nearly a hundred of them, and 40% of them are disciples of Huang Fenggu, and Huang occupied a large area of land.
Hearing the displeasure in Liu Jing's tone, Luo Hong wisely did not answer.
After silently drinking tea for a while, the trade fair finally started,
The gate of the venue was closed, and runes lit up on the surrounding walls, which actually opened up a powerful formation.
Immediately, a late foundation-establishment immortal cultivator with a kind face and a hearty voice stepped onto the stage.
After taking the stage, he skillfully made a joke with a few old friends, enlivening the atmosphere of the venue, and then talked about business.
"There are a lot of new faces this year, and our rules remain the same. First, we will conduct the part of Lingshi trading in the form of auction, and then let fellow daoists who need to barter take the stage in turn."
"Not much to say, let's start directly. The first lot is the top magic weapon, the Qingyin Sword."
Luo Hong put down her teacup and rubbed her nose. This opening remark is really tasteful.
"Nephew Luo, don't you lack an offensive magic weapon? This Qingyin sword is just suitable for the water movement technique you practice, and it can increase its power a lot when you use it. Why don't you try asking for a price?"
Liu Jing's suggestion was entirely for Luo Hong's sake. Although the Voiceless Sword is a top-level magic weapon, it is not a high-quality magic weapon in terms of its aura.
Most of the foundation-building stage monks present would not be able to bid, and it was a good opportunity for Luo Hong and the accompanying Qi-refining stage monks to make a move.
"Thank you for reminding me, Uncle, but the younger generation doesn't have many spirit stones. Compared with magic weapons that are aggressive and ruthless, I still want to exchange them for some spiritual objects that can help in cultivation."
Luo Hong is currently only interested in the extremely fast Royal Air Artifact, and nothing else is enough to seduce him to reveal his wealth.
"You're right, it's up to you."
Although Liu Jing had a good impression of Luo Hong, he didn't think that a cultivator with pseudo-spiritual roots could succeed in establishing a foundation. He felt that instead of spending spirit stones on pills, Luo Hong might as well buy one or two top-level spells. It can also be handed down to future generations.
But seeing Luo Hong's determination was so strong, Liu Jing couldn't bear to hit him, so he didn't say much.
After a few rounds of bidding, Qingyinjian sold an inflated price of three hundred and fifty spirit stones, which was won by a female cultivator in the Qi refining period among a pair of double monks from the Giant Sword Sect.
The next two lots were also top-level magical artifacts, but this time they were the best of the top-level magical artifacts, so they were scrambled by monks in the foundation-building period, and they were finally sold for more than 600 spirit stones.
"The next item in the auction has some background. Please take a look. This gourd is called [Jade Dragon Gourd], and it is a treasure refined by monks in the alchemy stage from the bones of four-level water flood dragons. The space in it can not only hold the water of a lake, And it has the supernatural ability to refine mortal water into spiritual water. This is a very rare treasure."
The old man with a good face held a medium-sized, pure white gourd with only a few stripes to show it to everyone.
However, before he could tell the starting price, there were voices of discord in the audience.
"Cut, this can be considered a treasure? Isn't it just a small clean bottle that can hold it. Originally, the spirit bone of the fourth-level water flood dragon was considered a rare spiritual material, but it was burnt by the alchemy fire of a monk in the alchemy stage. Even going back to the furnace and remaking it has become a luxury. And the supernatural power to create spiritual water, can that thing really be imported?"
A rude man from Lingshou Mountain spoke unceremoniously and criticized the jade dragon gourd as worthless.
However, what he said did make some sense, and most of the people nodded silently after hearing it.
"This fellow Taoist from Lingshou Mountain, please leave a little bit of morality. You must know that the fellow Taoist who sells this treasure is in the venue, so be careful to speak out!"
The good-natured old man felt that the Jade Dragon Gourd was going to fail the auction because of this reckless man's nonsense, so he warned in a cold voice.
"Ah, misunderstood, I am not targeting that fellow Taoist. I am a straightforward person, and I am willing to pay the starting price to buy this gourd as an apology."
The rude man in Lingshou Mountain had a sly look in his eyes, and the jade dragon gourd was of great use to him.
His family has cultivated a kind of spirit insect called [Bone-eating Flying Ant] for generations. If it can be fed with the spirit bones of the fourth-level water dragon, it is very likely to get the opportunity to advance.
The good-natured old man was taken aback when he heard the words, but soon came to his senses, realizing that he was being used, and immediately looked at the rude man with even more disgust.
"Hmph, the starting price is three hundred spirit stones, are you sure you want to buy it?"
"How could it be so high? The starting price of those top-level magical artifacts is only two hundred spirit stones! This is just a tasteless water hyacinth. How can it be higher than the starting price of the top-level magical artifacts!"
The rude man stared at him, wanting to bargain with the kind old man.
"The starting price for this treasure is three hundred spirit stones, don't you believe me?"
The old man's eyes turned cold, and the tyrannical aura of the late foundation establishment slowly pressed against the rude man who only had the early foundation establishment.
"Okay, three hundred is three."
The rude man pretended to be distressed, and was about to make a deal with the kind-hearted old man, but he heard a sudden quotation from behind.
"Wait a minute, this junior is willing to offer three hundred and one spirit stones to relieve this senior's worries."
Luo Hong's voice clearly reached the ears of every immortal cultivator in the venue, and there was a scramble, and everyone became interested in the jade dragon gourd again.
"Nephew Luo, you don't have to do this!"
Liu Jing's expression was indescribable, with a bit of shame in his touch, and a bit of entanglement in his anger.
