Chapter 20 Going to get rich
When Lin Que arrived at the auction house, it was already packed with people. Through the Taiqing Chaos Technique, he sensed several extremely powerful auras among them, which he estimated to be cultivators above the Innate Realm. There might even be experts at the Life Sea Realm.
It seems there are quite a few people at this auction, and even more hidden talents among them.
"Lin Que! Why are you holding a rock here?"
Just as Lin Que was pondering, Qi Haoyue's voice came from not far away, indicating that he had just arrived.
Lin Que walked towards Qi Haoyue and said, "It's nothing, I just picked it up at a street stall. I thought it looked nice so I wanted to take it home. It's just a bit heavy. I'll see if they sell storage rings at the auction later. I'm planning to get one."
Qi Haoyue was somewhat surprised upon hearing this and said to Lin Que, "Storage ring? Those things are not cheap. Even I don't have one, and there are very few people in the whole village who do."
"Forget it, don't think too much about it. Maybe today's return of the soul..."
Before Qi Haoyue could finish speaking, Lin Que interrupted her immediately and quickly replied, "Don't even think about it. We can't afford the Resurrection Grass at today's auction."
Qi Haoyue was stunned for a moment, then saw Lin Que wink at him. He immediately realized what was happening and put on a worried look.
Just now…
Just as Qi Haoyue was about to say, "Today's Soul-Returning Grass is expected to fetch a very high price at auction," upon hearing the word "Soul-Returning," many auras immediately swept towards them. Fortunately, Lin Que reacted in time, interrupting him and changing his words.
Fortunately, Qi Haoyue, who usually seems silly and naive, isn't actually stupid.
Given the high value of the Resurrection Grass, the Su family would definitely have promoted it heavily before today's auction, which explains why there are so many hidden talents among the attendees.
It seems we need to be careful when we're out and about. We almost exposed ourselves as the real sellers of the Resurrection Grass. If we had been discovered, it would have attracted a lot of covetous eyes. Nobody knows what will happen after the auction ends, after all, this is the cultivation world, a world where the strong prey on the weak.
Lin Que waved the entrance token in his hand and said, "Let's go in first."
After saying that, he led the way into the venue.
The auction admission tokens were given to them by the merchant's maid when they checked into the inn yesterday; it was a very thoughtful gesture.
......
Upon entering the venue, I discovered that it was exceptionally large. A large display stand was surrounded by many seats, and there were also many stalls selling various items around it. There were also private rooms on the second floor where one could observe the entire venue. It was a large venue that combined auctions and sales.
Lin Que and his companion took their seats according to the numbers on their tokens, and soon the entire venue filled up. Once the venue was full, the auction officially began.
An elderly man slowly walked out from the center of the booth. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be Mr. Mo, whom I had met yesterday.
"It is a great honor for you all to be here at this auction! As usual, the highest bidder wins."
Mo Lao's voice resounded throughout the entire venue. It wasn't very loud, but it was exceptionally clear. It seemed that there was a magical device in the venue that could amplify the sound transmission volume. It was truly impressive.
"Stop dawdling! Let's get started!"
"That's right, Mr. Mo, we all know the rules."
"I've heard that a Heavenly Rank magic weapon will be on display this time. I wonder if it's true or not."
"I wonder if I can complete the task assigned by the sect."
"..."
Lin Que was slightly startled when he heard the voices of the crowd around him. He knew that magical weapons and martial arts techniques were divided into grades, namely Yellow, Profound, Earth, Heaven, and Immortal.
The difference is that there is no distinction between immortal-grade cultivation methods and martial arts techniques.
However, magical weapons are different. Among the immortal-grade weapons, there are three grades: upper, middle, and lower. Whether there are other grades above the immortal grade, no one knows.
Moreover, on the entire Fengtian Continent, there are very few people or forces that can possess celestial-grade items; you can count them on your fingers. They are basically controlled by major sects and imperial dynasties. Therefore, celestial-grade items are extremely rare, and every time they appear, they attract fierce competition.
I never expected to have the opportunity to see a Heavenly Rank magic weapon today.
Although he was destined not to get it, it was still nice to feast his eyes on it. Even Qi Haoyue, who was standing next to him, got excited. He had never seen a Heaven-rank magic weapon before, let alone a Heaven-rank one, he had never even seen an Earth-rank one.
Old Mo smiled slightly as he listened to the sounds rising and falling around him. After the sounds subsided, he spoke slowly and deliberately.
"Please don't get excited, everyone. This auction is a bit special."
“In the past, I have always presided over auctions, but this time it will be presided over by the next auctioneer.”
After speaking, Mr. Mo ignored the murmurs of the crowd around him and stepped aside, giving up the booth.
Before the crowd could finish speaking, a woman with exquisite makeup slowly walked out from behind the booth. She wore a white, flowing dress with wide sleeves, and her hair was styled in a palace-style updo, making her look elegant and dignified. She also had a stunningly beautiful face and a pair of phoenix eyes that sparkled like stars.
The hall was completely silent at this moment, and everyone's attention was drawn to the woman's appearance.
The woman's beautiful phoenix eyes swept around the room, and finally her gaze lingered on Lin Que for a moment before she smiled slightly and gently looked away.
Lin Que's secret passage.
It really was her! Her identity is indeed extraordinary.
As if confirming Lin Que's words, the woman's red lips parted slightly the next moment, and her alluring voice echoed throughout the entire venue.
"This humble woman is Su Yuyan from the Su family! Greetings, everyone!"
The person also gave a slight bow towards the venue.
"I will be hosting this auction, and I hope everyone will find items that satisfy them!"
"Let's begin with today's first item! A bottle of Level 3 Spirit Gathering Pills, starting bid: 500 low-grade spirit stones..."
Even after the auction began, many people were still in a daze, staring blankly at Su Yuyan, simply because she was stunningly beautiful.
"What a beautiful woman! She's probably no less beautiful than the Seventh Princess of the Blazing Sun Empire."
"Tsk tsk tsk! If I could have such a woman, I would gladly shorten my lifespan."
"Su Yuyan, that name sounds familiar... Could she be the third young lady of the Su family?"
"..."
Many people were muttering to themselves, and some were looking at Su Yuyan with lewd eyes.
However, Su Yuyan didn't care about this at all.
Come to think of it...
After all, they are the Su family, one of the eight great families. Some people can only dream about it. If they really make any moves, they probably won't even know how they died.
She continued to wait for others to make a bid.
Once they came to their senses, everyone started making offers.
"Five hundred and fifty..."
"Six hundred..."
"Seven hundred..."
"Nine hundred and seventy..."
In the end, the Three-Turn Spirit Gathering Pill was purchased by an elder from a sect for 1,200 low-grade spirit stones.
The greatest use of the Three-Turn Spirit Gathering Pill is actually in the Qi Gathering stage to the Innate stage, accelerating the circulation and purification of spiritual energy in the body. It is not very useful after the Innate stage.
It can be said that 1,200 spirit stones is neither too much nor too little. If it were more than 1,500, probably no one would want it. It is likely that the elder of this sect bought it to give back to the sect disciples for use.
The remaining items were subsequently sold.
"The second item: Profound-grade Spirit Armor..."
"The third item: Thousand-year-old red ginseng..."
"The fourth item: The 'Ten Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains' painting..."
"The fifth item..."
"The sixth item..."
"..."
"The eighteenth item: a sixth-tier spiritual herb, the Resurrection Grass!"
Starting bid: 2,000 mid-grade spirit stones!
With the appearance of the Resurrection Grass, everyone's attention was drawn to it again, and some people came specifically for this spiritual herb.
Many people looked at the resurrection grass on the stage with greedy expressions.
Lin Que and Qi Haoyue exchanged a glance and saw the shock in each other's eyes!
I thought it would be valuable, but I never imagined it would be this valuable.
It's actually a mid-grade spirit stone!!!
