348 Chapter 346-top-grade building foundation

On the side of the wide street, there was a lively Tavern.

The tavern had three floors. The first floor was the main hall, the second floor was private rooms, and the third floor was specially prepared for distinguished guests.

No matter how much money you had, as long as you entered the tavern, there would be suitable wine and dishes.

Foreign merchants often came to the commercial district for a drink and then chatted for a while.

There were many types of wine in the Holy Dragon City that could suit the taste of different people.

In addition to the foreign merchants, some mercenaries and Wanderers would also come to the hall to drink a cup of cheap wine.

At this moment, in the corner of the hall on the first floor, the three people who had just arrived in Holy Dragon City were gathered around a table, whispering to each other.

After walking around the Holy Dragon city's business district, the three of them were already stunned by the prosperity in front of them.

They didn't expect that a newly built human city would be so prosperous and powerful. It was far beyond their expectations.

The three people who seemed to be in dire straits actually had a great background.

The world of loucheng was extremely vast, and there were countless people with special abilities. Some of them were highly skilled and cultivated skills that had been passed down from generation to generation.

The three of them were in a line of work that was very similar to that of bandits.

They were different from thieves and pickpockets. What they stole was not ordinary, but the building foundation!

They called themselves "stonemasons," and their actions were extremely secretive.

The foundation stone of a building was a very special item. The price difference was huge, and the key was its attributes.

Any foundation stone of the building that was appraised, as long as its attributes were slightly better, could be sold for a good price.

A good foundation stone of a building could only be encountered by luck and not sought. Some foundation stones with excellent attributes could be sold for sky-high prices!

In this regard, Holy Dragon City was an excellent example.

Of the few buildings that the Holy Dragon City had built, other than the mother tree's building, which could be considered top-grade, and the main building having the strange ghost bank, the rest could only be considered ordinary.

The attribute bonus of these buildings was dispensable for Holy Dragon City.

This was something that couldn't be helped. First of all, it was not easy to get the foundation stone of a building. After getting it, there was no way to determine its specific attributes. Most of the time, one could only rely on luck.

Even Tang Zhen, who had the appraisal eye, was unable to judge the specific attributes of the foundation stone of the tower!

However, these cultivators who stole the foundation stones had an ancient method to judge the attribute of the foundation stones, which had extremely high accuracy.

This secret appraisal technique was regarded as their life by the stonemasons, and they passed it down strictly.

These 'stonemasons' were constantly wandering around the continent, looking for the building foundations with the best attributes. Once they had determined their target, they would make a plan and then wait for the opportunity to act.

This time, they had planned for a year and then stolen a top-grade building foundation stone from a level 5 alien race building.

After they got the foundation stone, they escaped. Relying on the arrangements they had made in advance, they escaped the pursuit of countless cultivators in Lou city!

However, the original five-man team was now left with only three.

However, it was all worth it. As long as they sold this building foundation stone with the best attributes, they could get a large number of brains.

After walking around the Holy Dragon city's business district, they had other plans.

There were many foreign merchants here, and many of them were extremely wealthy. If they knew that there was a Supreme-grade foundation stone for sale, they would definitely bid a high price for it.

I heard that there's an auction house in the commercial district that can accept any item for auction, and then take a certain Commission from it.

After asking around, he found out that this auction house had a very high reputation.

For the three of them, this was an excellent shipping channel.

From what they had seen and heard today, they could confirm that the Holy Dragon City was very powerful. Although it was only a level three city, it might not be afraid of a level five city whose Foundation had been stolen.

Moreover, after the auction was over, they could take the brains and leave. The Holy Dragon City would be the only one to bear the wrath of the owner.

No matter how they thought about it, this matter was very beneficial to them.

The three of them pondered as they drank. In the end, they made up their mind and decided to explore the Holy Dragon city's auction house.

After making up their minds, the three of them decided to let the old man take the lead and head to the Holy Dragon city's auction house.

As for the other two, they were waiting to see what would happen. If the situation turned bad, they would immediately retreat.

After leaving the tavern, the old man packed up and went to the Holy Dragon City Auction house alone.

After entering the auction house, the old man sized up the magnificent Hall. At first, he secretly praised it, and then he found the staff inside.

The person who received him was a young girl. After the old man explained his purpose of visit, she brought him to a room upstairs.

She asked the old man to wait outside, then knocked on the door and entered.

The old man took a glance and saw the interior of the room clearly.

The room was very large, and there were many items placed inside. A few old men in white robes and white gloves were gathered together, studying a piece of ore that was shining with a seven-colored light.

The old man recognized the origin of the ore after a glance.

This was a rare ore used to forge middle-grade magic weapons. It was rare in production and very expensive.

According to the size of this ore, it could at least be forged into a long sword after refining.

The price of mo weapons and equipment was extremely high. If a cultivator could own a low level mo weapon, they would treasure it.

In order to forge intermediate-level magic weapons and equipment, one had to first collect expensive rare ores, then refine them carefully, and then hire a master blacksmith to forge them.

However, there was a high chance of failure during the forging process, and no one could guarantee success.

As a result, the prices of middle-grade and above mo weapons were even more shocking. Even with the old man's knowledge, he had only seen one.

The fact that the Holy Dragon city's auction house could obtain such a rare ore proved that their strength was extraordinary!

The old man was filled with even more anticipation for this trip.

The girl walked up to an old man with white hair and whispered a few words. The old man in white robe walked out.

"Sir, I heard that you have a building foundation stone with clear attributes and want to auction it here?"

The white-robed old man looked at the old man with a smile.

The foundation stone of a building was a good thing, especially one with confirmed attributes. It would usually be sold at a very high price.

Since the Holy Dragon City Auction house was established, it had never auctioned off a building foundation stone, so the white-robed old man was very interested in it.

The two of them sat at a table. After the girl poured a cup of tea for them, she left.

The old man sized up the Holy Dragon City cultivators in charge of the guards not far away and similarly took a sip of his tea.

"Can you tell us the attributes of this foundation stone so that we can evaluate it?"

The white-robed old man asked the old man after taking a sip of tea.

The old man hesitated for a moment before saying, " the attributes of this tower cornerstone are a little special. The towers it creates can activate a protective shield. The higher the level, the larger the area it can protect!

As soon as he finished speaking, the white-robed old man's hand shook violently.

After suppressing his excitement, the old man in the White robe asked, " "Are you sure that this foundation stone can activate the protective shield like you said? and how strong is the protective shield?"

The old man shook his head. This was all they knew after they had passed the test with the secret technique.

Even so, this tower cornerstone was enough to be called a top quality one!
