There's a Madman Sharpening His Knife at Night

Today at noon is the end of the year auction for the Qiwu Building.

Lu Hu woke up from his training, walked out of the inn, and headed towards the Strange Object Building.

When they arrived near the Strange Objects Building, they saw that the originally closed door of the Strange Objects Building was wide open. There were two big men guarding the door. In front of them, two men in black, one old and one young, were accepting invitations.

Lu Hu first went to a shelter in a nearby alley, took out a black robe from the baggage he brought with him, put on a mask, and then walked to the entrance of the Strange Objects Building.

The two men, an old man and a young man, came over immediately.

"Sir, are you here to participate in the auction? Do you have the invitation with you?"

"Well!" Lu Hu handed over the invitation and token from his arms.

The young man took it immediately, and after quickly identifying the authenticity, gave the old man in black a wink.

"Hahaha, a distinguished guest is here, please come in quickly!"

Lu Hu walked into the gate, and was greeted by someone who led him forward. After going up to the second floor, he entered an iron gate.

As soon as I entered, I saw that my eyes suddenly became spacious.

This is a huge room, similar to the layout of a death arena, with seats all around and a high platform at the front.

There were already many people sitting on the seats. Lu Hu glanced around and saw that most of the people were wearing masks and not talking to each other. They sat in silence and waited for the auction to start.

After Lu Hu was arranged to sit down in a central position, the waiter left on his own.

Sitting in his seat, Lu Hu felt the strength of the people present.

He found that most of the people who came were martial artists practicing muscle and marrow training. He also found three or four of them practicing viscera training.

"What a grand event!"

While waiting, people kept coming in and taking their seats.

After a moment of burning incense, “Bang!”

There was a loud noise behind him, and the heavy door at the door was closed.

Immediately, a smiling man walked up to the stage in front.

"Welcome to all of you to participate in the end-of-year auction of our Wonderful Objects Building. If you are here, I believe you have a certain understanding of our Wonderful Objects Building. This auction is divided into an open auction and a secret auction. There are boxes under your seats. There is a wooden board. During the secret auction, please write your respective bids on the wooden board, and relevant personnel will collect it.

So without further ado, now the year-end auction of Qiwu Building has officially begun, let’s open the first lot! "

After the man finished speaking, the audience was completely silent and indifferent. After all, this was not a Senluo death fighting arena.

As the auction started, the two doors on the left and right behind the stage soon opened, and two big men in black walked up holding a man and a woman tied by chains around their necks.

Although these two people were locked up, their clothes were neatly dressed, and their faces were fair and clean. Apart from the uncontrollable look of fear in their eyes, they were basically no different from pedestrians on the street.

"These two are for the same auction. The male and female are both eighteen years old and have never practiced martial arts. The starting price is fifty-five taels of silver. If you buy two people at this price, it is a good deal. The lowest price is five taels for each price. There are quotes. ?"

The place was silent, and I didn't see anyone bidding for a long time, so I thought the first lot was going to be unsold.

Finally, a hoarse voice sounded from behind, "Sixty taels!"

As soon as the sound appeared, Lu Hu knew clearly that it was a falsetto made by squeezing the vocal cords of his throat.

"Sixty-five taels!"

"Eighty taels!"

"Ninety-five taels!"

"The current highest price is ninety-five taels. Is there any increase in price?" The man in black paused for a moment and looked around the field.

"Okay, congratulations to this distinguished guest. After this is over, a special person will be looking for you! Then let me take a look at the second lot!"

A man and a woman on the field were taken away, and the woman who came up immediately was obviously more beautiful than before.

In this way, the auction will proceed in an orderly manner, one after another according to the process.

The process was also very boring. Everyone was very restrained in bidding, and there was no tit-for-tat and crazy price increases like Lu Hu imagined.

"The last item in the elixir category is the Qi-enhancing elixir that helps Zang warriors practice their Qi. Please take a look."

The man in black stood on the stage and waved, and a man walked up holding a wooden plate and stood straight in the middle with an expressionless face.

There are two white porcelain bottles on the wooden tray.

"Two bottles?"

Not only did Lu Hu frown, but the Zang practitioners who had the same interest as him also expressed doubts.

The previous book of black gold rare items only had one bottle, but now there is an extra bottle. Isn't the price at least doubled? All of a sudden, everyone's plans were disrupted.

The man in black heard the commotion in the audience and did not respond. He just smiled and said: "The middle-grade Qi Yi Dan can increase the speed of Qi cultivation for Zang practitioners. There are very few erysipelas. It can be said to be a must-have pill for Zang practitioners. There are five coins in a bottle, the starting price of this bottle is two hundred taels of silver, and the price will increase by fifty taels each time!"

"Separate auctions?"

Lu Hu thought about the money he had on him. He left Taiping Town with a total of 300 taels of cash and 500 taels of silver notes, for a total of 800 taels of silver.

In the past few days, I only spent sixty taels on eating and drinking in the city, and now I still have seven hundred and forty taels of silver.

Just when Lu Hu was thinking about it.

The price of this Qi Yi Dan began to rise.

"Three hundred taels!"

"Three hundred and fifty taels!"

"Four hundred taels!"

As soon as the sound of these four hundred taels came out, the whole place fell into silence.

This price also shattered Lu Hu's idea of ​​​​taking action. The price was too high. If he added it, it would be 450 taels. Even if he won it, the Nine Locks Hengjiang Gong behind it would be out of the question!

And judging from the situation in the field, these four hundred taels are almost the limit of the value of the middle-grade Yiqi Dan.

It won’t be worthwhile to quote any more!

The man in black smiled and waited for a while, and saw that no one had indeed quoted, "Congratulations to this distinguished guest! Here is the second bottle. This one is Yiqi Powder. Although there is a lot of erysipelas left, it is better because of the large amount and the effect." It is also similar to the middle-grade Yiqi Pill. Guests who have not taken the pill before can consider it. The starting price is one hundred taels of silver, and each quotation is fifty taels!"

After the man in black finished speaking this time, he immediately caused an uproar from everyone in the audience.

"What's going on? Why didn't you tell me earlier and only now did you say it was Yiqi Powder? If I had known it, I would have had an extra fifty taels and got the last bottle!"

"What the hell, why is the Qiwu Tower still doing this?"

Confident voices came out one after another.

But the man's smile never changed.

"Hahaha, it seems that everyone's understanding of our Qiwu Building is not comprehensive enough. Every time our Qiwu Building auctions, we will give you some small surprises to share profits for everyone. It can be regarded as a feedback for everyone's support of the Qiwu Building. If we can do it in advance Explain, how can the previous guest officer take advantage of it?

I hope you will forgive me for such an arrangement! "

"What a wonderful business method!"

Lu Hu thought in his mind that by making a little less money, giving benefits to others, and spending a small amount of money, he could build a brand image and at the same time make the auction process more interesting. This kind of business method is really powerful.

Sure enough, after hearing the explanation of the man in black, everyone stopped talking.

But at this time, Lu Hu's eyes were shining, and he felt that his chance had come!
