Chapter 246 Mysterious Scabbard
The next day.
Rooster Crow Auction House.
The entrance to the main hall is heavily guarded, with many guards guarding it and receiving guests.
"He who comes is stopped."
A silver-clad guard stepped forward to stop Ling Yun.
"Is something wrong?"
Ling Yun frowned.
"Due to the high standards of this auction, in order to prevent others from mistaking the auction, all guests who want to participate in the auction need to pay a deposit of five thousand spirit stones first."
The silver-clad attendant said coldly and proudly.
Ling Yun relaxed his brows and said calmly: "If I don't have the auction item that I like, what will you do with the deposit?"
"Don't worry, the auction won't take advantage of you, and it will be returned to you when the time comes."
A flash of disdain flashed in the silver-clad attendant's eyes.
This time, before Ling Yun could reply, a middle-aged man walked over in a hurry.
"You bastard, how can you be so rude to an honored guest? Get out of here."
The middle-aged man scolded the silver-clad attendant directly.
"The king is in charge."
The attendant in silver turned pale.
Manager Wang ignored the attendant and said politely to Ling Yun: "Don't be surprised, Sir, there are always some blind people under my command. If you are an ordinary guest, you do need to pay a deposit, but Sir, you are a master of alchemy. For a distinguished guest like you, Naturally, we cannot be treated equally, sir, please come in."
His ability to manage things and his well-informed knowledge are unparalleled by others.
The attendant didn't know who Ling Yun was, but he recognized at a glance that the young man in front of him was the genius alchemist who stole the show in the Cock Cing Hall yesterday.
Of course, Manager Wang’s thoughts cannot be hidden from Ling Yun.
Ling Yun looked at him deeply, then walked towards the auction house without saying anything.
Manager Wang breathed a sigh of relief and quickly followed.
The interior of the auction venue is extremely spacious and luxurious.
The venue has three floors. The ground floor is a square-like hall with many ordinary seats.
The auction table is in the center of this hall.
"Sir, the bottom and second floors are the ordinary guest seats and the VIP seats. Master, please follow me to the third floor, which is the supreme VIP seat."
Manager Wang smiled.
Ling Yun glanced around.
He didn't care where he sat.
But the bottom and second floors were clearly visible at a glance, and he did not find the mysterious old woman.
So most likely, the mysterious old woman is on the third floor.
He immediately followed Guanshi Wang to the third floor.
After hearing Steward Wang's words, the eyes of all the guests around him turned to Ling Yun, full of curiosity and awe.
Anyone who knows a little bit about this auction knows what the VIP represents.
How did this young man in black come to be the most distinguished guest?
"Then let's go."
Ling Yun looked indifferent and didn't take these little things to heart.
"Please."
Manager Wang is always respectful.
The two of them walked directly towards the third floor.
The auction will begin soon.
Ling Yun found out with some embarrassment that he really didn't have any spiritual stones on him.
Those spiritual stones before were all used by him for cultivation.
The only remaining spiritual stone was the Tongbao money ticket given by Bo Zhongnan, which could be exchanged for thirty thousand spiritual stones.
There are a lot of thirty thousand spirit stones in other places.
But this is an auction, and thirty thousand spirit stones are really not enough.
Fortunately, the purpose of his visit was not to auction, but to find the mysterious old woman Wei Xiangmei.
"found it!"
Half a quarter of an hour later, Ling Yun's eyes flashed with light.
While auctioning a fourth-grade elixir, he heard a familiar voice.
This voice belonged to Wei Xiangmei.
"The information from Heiye Tower is correct."
Ling Yun searched carefully.
After a while, he was sure that Wei Xiangmei was in the box next to him.
Of course, he would not act rashly, after all, this is the auction house of Jiming City.
He first targeted Wei Xiangmei, waited for the auction to end, and then found an opportunity to take action against Wei Xiangmei.
Before you know it, the auction is coming to an end.
Ling Yun has given up hope for this auction.
Just listen to the auctioneer say: "Next, is the final treasure of this auction."
As soon as he finished speaking, the maid brought a tray.
The auctioneer uncovered the red cloth, revealing a black scabbard.
"Just the scabbard, no sword?"
There was a commotion among the guests around.
People could clearly see that the scabbard was empty.
It's just a scabbard, even if it's originally extraordinary, what's the value of it?
"This is a fifth-grade treasure from the Xuanwu Secret Realm. You need to explore its specific functions by yourself."
the auctioneer said.
People who were originally not interested in this scabbard suddenly changed their expressions when they heard that this thing came from the Xuanwu Secret Realm.
You know, since ancient times, the Xuanwu Secret Realm has been extremely mysterious and has produced many top masters.
This scabbard seems useless, but no one can guarantee whether there will be great good fortune hidden in it.
"The mysterious scabbard has a starting price of 30,000 spirit stones. Each increase in price must not be less than 1,000 spirit stones. The auction begins now."
As soon as the audio of the auction session fell, the atmosphere exploded instantly.
"forty thousand!"
"fifty thousand!"
"I will pay 70,000..."
"This scabbard?"
Ling Yun, who was originally careless, now had a flash of light in his pupils.
This scabbard looked empty on the surface, but Ling Yun's incomplete soul could faintly detect that it seemed to contain several mysterious sharp auras.
"It's a mustard seal."
Ling Yun's eyes became brighter and brighter.
He has determined that the scabbard contains a mustard seal, and there must be something else inside.
Even if this is really an empty scabbard, the value of this mustard seal alone cannot be calculated with spirit stones.
With this mustard seal, Ling Yun will be able to seal some things in it in the future.
This is a treasure.
At this moment, the auction price of the empty scabbard has soared to 100,000.
Many guests around were shocked and felt that there were really too many rich people in this auction.
Only Ling Yun sneered at this.
If this were in the God Realm, there would be a lot of gods who would use hundreds of thousands of God Stones to compete for this scabbard.
And the energy contained in a God Stone is at least equivalent to a million spirit stones.
At the same time, Ling Yun had guessed that this thing was probably taken out by the mysterious old woman.
After all, there are not many people in the entire continent who have been to the Xuanwu Secret Realm.
"130,000!"
At this time, someone offered a price, instantly raising the price by 50,000.
The surroundings were boiling.
"Oh my god, 130,000 spirit stones?"
"Even if this scabbard comes from the Xuanwu Secret Realm, it is just a scabbard after all. How can it be worth so much money?"
"The one who bid is Shen Yichen, the eldest son of the Shen family. We cannot guess what this top son thinks..."
When they heard that it was Shen Yichen who bid, the other bidders stopped bidding.
If this was not just a scabbard, but a real sword, people might hesitate.
But it is just a scabbard. Although it comes from the Xuanwu Secret Realm, its function is unknown. It is a gamble to bid it.
For an uncertain gamble, to offend Shen Yichen, obviously no one is willing to do such a thing.
In the box where Ling Yun is.
He frowned.
He is determined to get this scabbard.
But he is short of money and has no spirit stones.
With a thought, he said to the manager Wang next to him: "I have nine spirit pills in my hand. How much is the auction house willing to buy them?"
Manager Wang's eyes suddenly lit up.
He knew what happened yesterday, so he naturally understood the value of this spirit pill.
"The value of the Soul-Replenishing Pill is comparable to that of a fourth-grade pill. The value of a fourth-grade pill is one thousand spirit stones."
Manager Wang said quickly: "But your Soul-Replenishing Pill is a seven-patterned treasure pill, which can be priced at seven thousand spirit stones. Nine pills are sixty-three thousand spirit stones."
Ling Yun frowned.
He knew that the price offered by Manager Wang was fair.
But even if he offered sixty-three thousand spirit stones more, he would not be able to bid for the scabbard.
"Do you want this scabbard?"
Manager Wang observed his expression.
"Yes."
Ling Yun nodded.
"Then you can buy it on credit first, and then refine more Soul-Replenishing Pills to pay it back later."
Manager Wang suggested.
"Okay."
Ling Yun did not hesitate.
If it's any later, the scabbard will be taken away by someone else.
