C36 Auction
C36 Auction
The auction was located on the fourth floor of Jinjue House, and it was usually not open to the public. However, a special passageway was temporarily opened tonight because of this special reason.
Qin Feng followed Lansley and Fu Lanming to this place. This auction had a certain requirement for the participants. In Wind Devil Mercenary Group, only the commander and the deputy commander could participate. Artes was left behind to take care of the others.
There were two guards guarding the passageway on the fourth floor. They were holding Longsword in their hands. Their expressions were slightly arrogant, and they looked mighty and extraordinary as they stood there. Judging from the shocking aura emitted from their bodies, it was easy to tell that... Their unk s had at least reached the Fifth Level Heaven Sword Lord.
This level of strength wasn't weak at all. The fact that the Jinjue House was guarded by these two showed how powerful the Jinjue House was.
In front of them were two men, each holding a strange crystal in their hands.
"That's the tool to test the Cultivation Level. The one on the left is the sword energy crystal used to test the Sword Cultivator. You just need to press your hands on the crystal and urge the sword energy in your body to surge towards your hands." Lansley whispered into Qin Feng's ear at the right time.
Qin Feng nodded slightly and looked at it curiously.
There was a long line of people in the front row of the tunnel. After Qin Feng observed them, he found that the people here were either Spirit Lord or Sword Lord. None of the other experts noticed them.
"Those who can reach the Spirit King or Sword King can be considered as strong warriors. People like them have other tunnels to enter, so they don't need to line up like us." Lansley explained to Qin Feng once again.
However, not everyone here needed to be tested. Clearly, some people had quite a reputation. They were recognized by the two men and placed in. There were also those who showed their mercenary badges and placed in.
Generally speaking, a mercenary badge could not be faked. There was a level mark on it, which made it very easy to recognize. However, this time, only 2-star and above mercenaries could enter directly.
As a result, the speed was not slow. Soon, it was Qin Feng's turn.
"Sword Cultivator? Please come here and test it out." The man on the left was slightly startled when he saw Qin Feng.
Qin Feng took a step forward, stretched out his hands and pressed them on the crystal.
He followed Lansley's instructions and circulated the sword Qi, pushing it towards his hands.
When the sword energy reached his hands, the crystal seemed to sense it and lit up with a faint light.
Seeing this, the man looked at Qin Feng in surprise, but did not delay and let him pass.
Lansley and Fu Lanming also quickly did the test and passed one by one. They then entered the auction house together with Qin Feng.
There were crystal stones around the auction house that emitted a faint light that lit up the place. The hall was in a circular shape. The auction stage was right in front of them, and there were rows of seats on the outside that could accommodate thousands of people.
There were private rooms in the surrounding area, and it was obvious that they were giving special treatment to those experts or VIPs.
While Qin Feng was observing, a seductive woman came to their side and asked in a lovely voice, "Are the three of you together?"
Fu Lanming nodded slightly. Immediately, the woman handed over a wooden tablet and said, "This is your number plate. There are seats in front of you. Please do as you wish."
After saying that, she left and welcomed the people who came in later.
Fu Lanming looked at the wooden plate and saw a number on it: 571. He put it away and took Qin Feng and the woman to an empty seat on the left.
The auction still needed some time before it started. Qin Feng sat on the seat with his eyes closed, waiting patiently.
After a long time, the auction hall, which was filled with whispers, became quiet, and the auction stage lit up with brilliant lights.
Qin Feng opened his eyes and looked around. He saw that the hall was almost fully occupied. Lansley and Fu Lanming were quietly sitting on the stage, staring at the stage with burning eyes.
At this moment, an old man with a kind smile appeared on the stage, and beside him were several items covered with white cloth.
"That's Old Chen, the one known as Old Man Black Demon?" The appearance of the old man caused a commotion in the audience. It was obvious that this old man had an illustrious reputation.
"I never thought that the Jinjue House would send a Ninth Heaven Spirit Lord as the host. This courage is really not small." Lansley who was standing beside him took a deep breath and exclaimed.
Hearing this, Qin Feng could not help but look at the old man a few more times. One should know that a Ninth Heaven Heaven Spirit Lord could be considered a powerhouse in the mercenary world.
However, the commotion did not last for long. Everyone had come here for the upcoming auction. They hoped to be able to buy what they wanted. Immediately, numerous heated and eager gazes looked towards the tall platform.
"Welcome to Jinjue House and participate in this auction. This time around, this old man will preside over it. I believe that all of you have a better understanding of the rules here, so I won't say anything else." Old Man Black Demon said as he glanced at the crowd below the stage. He saw that all the people were looking at him with eager eyes. The smile on his face became even wider, and he spoke unhurriedly. "Alright, the auction has officially begun. The first item for sale is a ripe silver orchid fruit.
Silver Orchid Fruit, I believe everyone has heard of it. It can strengthen one's physical strength, and it will also increase the Cultivation Level by a certain amount. It will also be of great help to Sword Cultivator and spirit cultivators. "
As soon as he finished speaking, whispers sounded from below the stage. A piece of white cloth was lifted, revealing a silver plate. On top of the plate was a shining silver fruit.
"Is that the Silver Orchid Fruit?" Qin Feng stared fixedly at the stage. He was quite curious about the Silver Orchid Fruit.
"The starting price of the silver orchids is 120 silver coins, and each increment must be no less than 5 silver coins. The bidding starts now." Old Chen's voice resounded throughout the auction hall. At first, the audience was still silent. In the next moment, there was a commotion, and the sound of people bidding rose and fell.
"One hundred and thirty!"
"One hundred and forty!"
"One hundred and forty-five!"
"One hundred and fifty five!"
"One hundred and sixty!"
In the blink of an eye, the price of the Silver Orchid Fruit rose from one hundred and twenty to one hundred and eight, and the bidding gradually weakened.
"This Silver Orchid Fruit is at most worth two hundred silver coins. It's not worth it to raise the price any further." Below the stage, Fu Lanming shook his head as he heard the bidding sounds around him.
Qin Feng did not join the bidding. He did not have much money, so he needed to observe more. The biggest purpose of this trip was to broaden his horizons and experience.
In the end, the Silver Orchid Fruit was bought by a thin man for 195 silver coins.
The first item wasn't too surprising, but it also attracted the interest of the crowd. The second item was revealed to everyone - it was a powerful Fourth Grade magic treasure.
After that, there was another fierce bidding, and the final price rose to 420 silver coins.
Then, the second item was bought. There were many different types of goods, and most of them were sold for over 600 silver coins. This made Qin Feng feel helpless, and he sighed to himself that his wallet was really too thin.
