Chronicles of Celestial Origins

Seeing that he was disappointed, the female cultivator turned to leave and said quickly: "Senior's visit is just in time. Our city will organize an auction in a few days. If senior can participate, there may be spiritual beasts for sale."

Tangning asked, "Are you sure?"

The female nun said: "No one can say for sure. It may or may not happen. It depends on luck. If there is nothing urgent, senior, why not wait a few more days?"

Tangning felt that what she said was quite reasonable and asked, "Didn't you say that there are no spirit beasts for sale in Broken Ridge Mountain Market? How come your organization has an auction? Is it possible that your spirit beasts are not sold to the outside world?"

The woman smiled and said: "Senior, I misunderstood. I think you have never participated in an auction in our city before!"

Tangning nodded and said, "No, this is my first time coming to Guifang City."

The woman said: "Let's put it this way! The auction organized by our city is equivalent to a sales event held by merchants and shops in the secular world. The shops in the city will put up their usual treasures for bidding. In addition, individuals also Being able to participate in the auction and sale, our chamber of commerce does not have any spiritual beasts for sale, it does not mean that other monks do not have them. "

"As long as the price given by the senior is right, the monks who have spiritual beasts in their hands will naturally reach a deal with you. For example, Xingang Xuanmen and Mo Sect both raise spiritual beasts. Their spiritual beasts are all cubs bought on other islands. , and then raise them by yourself, maybe some of the monks participating in the auction will be those in charge of spiritual beasts in the sect.”

When she said this, Tang Ning immediately understood. This auction is a large free trading market, with a mixture of people from all walks of life. Everyone can bring out the weird things they have and auction them at the auction. There might even be spirit beasts for sale. .

"When does it start and where?"

"Starting at Xu time five days later, the location is on the top floor of the attic of our shop. Every five years, there is an auction on the ninth day of September in our city. It is specially designed to serve the foundation-building monks. The auction items are all used by the foundation-building monks. Senior Just come here then," the woman said.

Tangning thanked her and left the shop. She went to the Fang City Management Office to get her license plate and stayed at the Baoxing Inn.

Five days passed by, and he came to Baoxing Store again. As he entered the hall, a female cultivator greeted him: "Senior, welcome to Baoxing Store. If you need anything, just ask."

The same words, but this woman is no longer that woman.

"I heard that there is an auction in your store today? I wonder if I can participate?"

The woman said: "Of course, this auction in our city will be open to all foundation-building monks. Senior, come with me."

The woman led him up to the seventh floor of the attic, crossed the last step, and walked through a long and narrow passage. A spacious stone door came into view. Outside the stone door stood two men, both of whom were in the middle stage of foundation building.

The woman saluted and said: "Two adults, this senior is here to participate in this auction."

The man on the left glanced at Tang Ning. Without saying a word, he took out a token and hit it with a spell. The token emits a faint red light and shines on the stone door. The stone door automatically slides to both sides when it is illuminated by the red light. open.

Tang Ning entered the inner room and the stone door closed automatically.

Inside is a huge hall, dozens of feet in diameter. There are dozens of rows of wooden chairs in the empty hall, enough to seat two to three hundred people. There is a table that is ten feet long on the high platform.

The surrounding light is dim, and the walls and floors are paved with black soundproof stones, which can isolate all external sounds.

At this moment, there were thirty or forty monks sitting scattered in the hall, all of whom were in the foundation-building stage. When they saw Tangning coming in, some of them looked back.

Only then did Tang Ning realize that many of them were wearing hats and masks. He couldn't help but regret. He had forgotten that there were many people in the auction, and there might be many demon sect monks hiding among them. If he was targeted, he would be in big trouble. Knowing this, I might as well get myself a bamboo hat.

He found a remote corner and sat down. As time passed, some monks came to the hall one after another. About an hour later, the stone door on the wall behind the stage opened and two men walked in.

One person has big ears and piercing eyes. He is about thirty years old.

The other man has silver hair all over his head and kind eyes. Both of them are monks in the late stage of foundation building.

The old man opened his mouth and said: "Welcome all Taoist friends to the auction in our city. This auction is still hosted by the two of me. There may be new Taoists who don't recognize me. I will introduce myself first." "

"My name is Yan Qingyu. This is Brother Luo Huan next to me. The two of us are stewards of our city. Please rest assured that this auction will be conducted in accordance with the principles of fairness, justice and free trade. Now I would like to ask Brother Luo Huan to explain. Here are the bidding rules.”

The man next to him said: "The rules of the auction are as follows. First, the two of us will display the rare items from various shops in the city and set an initial price for the auction. Fellow Taoists can bid as much as they like. The one with the highest price will win. If you don't have enough spiritual stones, you can use them." Other items are mortgaged and the two of us estimate the value based on the market price.”

"If no one bids for the item, it will be rejected. If there are any problems or disputes during the auction, the host's words will be the final decision."

"After the bidding for the items in the market is over, it will be time for all fellow Taoists to bid independently. At that time, fellow Taoists are free to buy and sell items. The bidding begins now."

As soon as the man finished speaking, the old man immediately said: "Here is the first item of this auction."

As soon as the old man finished speaking, the stone door on the wall behind opened, and a female cultivator came in holding a tray in both hands. The tray was covered with a red brocade handkerchief. The woman placed the tray on the table and stepped aside.

"This is the first item." The old man said, lifting the red brocade handkerchief, revealing a green and blue bell.

"This is called the Phantom Bell." The old man picked up the bell and shook it gently. A clear and sweet sound came out. Tang Ning felt that her head was drowsy. The fairy sounds in her ears were ethereal, mixed with bursts of Sanskrit sounds. Her eyes were filled with fairy air, and there was peace. In the scene, several fairies in white appeared in the dense fairy air, dancing in a group dressed in white.

Tang Ning was suddenly startled, and when she came back to her senses, her consciousness in Niwan Palace formed a ball and was distributed on both sides of her temples. She resisted the overwhelming sound and felt her head was dizzy.

I don't know how long it took, but the sound stopped. Tang Ning's head was no longer drowsy and her eyesight returned to clarity. When she looked again, she saw that the old man was holding a green and blue bell that had stopped shaking. There were many monks around who were still immersed in the ethereal fairyland. In the midst of the music, I was shaking my head.

He was horrified. The monk in the late stage of foundation building used all his strength to display the phantom bell, and its power was so great.

This phantom bell was not aimed at him. It could make him fall into an illusion and unable to control himself. If it had been aimed at him alone, he would have been unconscious long ago.

After a while, the others also woke up from the illusion, and they all looked at each other in shock.

The old man said: "Everyone must have realized the power of this phantom bell! This bell is from the hands of Master Dongfang Ye, a famous weapon refiner of our chamber of commerce. He specially refined it for his disciples in the early years. The main material is taken from the bones of the Phantom Whispering Monster, and it is refined with the Echo Stone as a supplement. Its illusion attack ability is greatly improved, and it is considered to be the best among the best spiritual weapons according to its grade. "

"What's even more rare is that the attack method of this phantom bell is spiritual attack. As you all know, there are very few monks who can cultivate spiritual consciousness in this world. This bell directly attacks the sea of ​​consciousness in Niwan Palace, which is the shortcoming of attacking it. , To be honest, if I hadn’t been the host of this auction, I wouldn’t have been able to participate in the bidding, and I would have bought this bell no matter what.”

"It is no exaggeration to say that as long as you have deep cultivation and can exert its power with this Phantom Bell, you will be invincible among your peers. The bidding price now starts at 70,000 spirit stones, and each increase must not be less than 5,000. Fellow Taoists, please bid.”

There was silence in the hall for a moment. Generally, the price of top-quality spiritual weapons is around 80,000 yuan, but the lowest bidding price for this one is 70,000 yuan, so the price is about the same.

As for what the old man said about being invincible at the same level, it is obviously an exaggeration. People here are not stupid. If you can dream of being invincible at the same level with a spiritual weapon, then why do you need a genius? Just go and refine weapons.

The old man is not in a hurry. He understands people's psychology very well. With his many years of experience in hosting auctions, although there are occasional items in the auction, they are all flashy and tasteless items. Really good things will never disappear. People buy.

This phantom bell is a truly top-grade spiritual weapon, a good thing, and it focuses on spiritual consciousness. In Xingang, such a good thing can be said to be priceless, which is why he made it the first item to be auctioned. reason.

As the saying goes, rare things are valuable. In Xingang, the best spiritual weapons are rare treasures, let alone this one. It is the best among the best. Just after he showed it, everyone understood its power.

The reason why no one is bidding now is because everyone is waiting. On the one hand, they are weighing the details that they can accept, and on the other hand, they are waiting for others to speak first.

Not long after, someone said: "Eighty thousand spiritual stones."

"Okay, a Taoist friend has already made a bid, 80,000. Does anyone want to increase the price?" As soon as the old man finished speaking, someone said, "Eighty-five thousand."

"Eighty-five thousand."

"Ninety thousand."

The atmosphere seemed to be ignited, and people made bids one after another, raising the price to one hundred thousand.

"This fellow Taoist bids 100,000 yuan, do you want to increase the price?" the old man shouted.

The hall fell into silence. The price shouted that this point had slightly exceeded everyone's bottom line, so the few people who had just called out the price remained silent.
