Chapter 157: Treasure Appreciation Meeting in the Inner Courtyard of Jubao Pavilion (4k)
There are a lot of good things at the Treasure Fair.
Although there are not many treasures that are useful to Huo Yuhao today, he still browsed them carefully and got addicted to them like a rich man.
There are a dazzling array of resources related to soul master training, such as treasures, soul tools, rare metals, and soul beast materials. It can be called a small chamber of commerce of extremely high quality.
Treasures related to soul master training are usually pills.
The medicine is three-point poison, and most of the elixirs have certain side effects. Moreover, for a soul master like Huo Yuhao who possesses the ultimate martial soul, the soul power required is huge. In fact, the effect of the elixirs is not very good.
Pills that have no side effects, such as soul-raising pills and soul-nourishing pills, are very precious, especially the latter, which are extremely rare.
However, Huo Yuhao has already taken it, so he doesn't have that worry anymore.
"Let's go, Yuhao. Today is the treasure appreciation party in the inner courtyard. It's about to start. Let's go to the third floor quickly. We can look at the things on the second floor later. And this is basically reserved for those who It’s used by the core disciples of the outer courtyard, but the third floor is specifically for our inner courtyard disciples.”
Ma Xiaotao said with a smile: "There are a lot of precious items on the third floor that will be on display. Basically, there will be ten-thousand-year soul bones every time. If there is a soul bone suitable for us, we can just take it down. That will be a real benefit." ”
"Is that so? I don't know if I have enough money now?"
Huo Yuhao nodded slightly.
In fact, the reason why he was wandering around on the second floor was because of the ten-thousand-year-old golden light left arm bone that appeared in the original work, and he also wanted to let Ice Emperor and the others see if there was any chance of missing it.
It's a pity, don't miss it.
Moreover, the left arm bone of Golden Light did not appear.
But yes, this ten-thousand-year-old soul bone was obviously Shrek's customary item, specially brought out for Wang Dong'er. It would not be good if it was displayed in advance and bought by other wealthy inner court disciples.
After all, the treasure appreciation party for the core disciples of the outer courtyard will start in a few days. Now is the time for their inner courtyard disciples.
"Yu Hao, let me tell you a secret quietly." Ma Xiaotao approached slowly and said through the voice transmission with her soul: "Jubao Pavilion is the property of our college. If there are soul bones on the third floor that are suitable for us, we will definitely be able to get it with our talents. Got it."
Although Yan Shaozhe asked her not to spread rumors, it was obvious that Huo Yuhao was not an outsider, and Ma Xiaotao said it without any burden.
Huo Yuhao just sold so many things, which surprised Ma Xiaotao.
I never expected that Huo Yuhao turned out to be a hidden rich man!
This was also an eye-opener for her.
Ma Xiaotao still remembered that a year ago, Huo Yuhao still made a living by selling grilled fish, earning huge profits at the price of one gold soul coin per grilled fish.
Of course, as someone who has experienced it, she thinks that such a price is extremely affordable. Gold soul coins are easy to get, but delicious food is hard to find.
Now there are many people in Shrek who are still thinking about Xiao Huo's grilled fish.
Ahem, I'm going too far, let's go back to 20 million.
After Ma Xiaotao stayed in Shrek for so long, she actually didn't save much gold soul coins. Most of the money was used by her to purchase treasures to assist her training or to weaken the evil fire.
Especially after the evil fire was resolved a year ago, Ma Xiaotao, who was able to let go of his cultivation, spent money like water like water before liberation.
Now he only has less than a million gold soul coins to survive.
Judging from Ma Xiaotao’s experience.
Coupled with the 40% discount for red-level VIPs, Huo Yuhao's financial resources can do whatever he wants even in the exclusive treasure hunting club in the inner courtyard on the third floor.
Don't look at the fact that 20 million gold soul coins can only buy two top-notch ten thousand year soul bones.
Even in the inner court-level treasure hunt, top-notch ten thousand-year soul bones do not appear every time. In most cases, they are just ordinary ten-thousand-year soul bones.
You know, soul bones are a treasure that countless people in the soul master world dream of.
Just some of the top thousand-year soul bones can cost up to one million gold soul coins, not to mention the top-quality ten thousand-year soul bones, which are second only to the hundred-thousand-year soul bones!
Ordinary titled Douluo may not even have a few thousand-year soul bones in their bodies!
The channel of purchase is one reason, and it is also related to financial resources.
The purchasing power of one gold soul coin can buy one hundred and fifty pieces of bread. And 20 million gold soul coins is enough wealth to buy a medium-sized city! It is not easy for even a country to spend so much money at once.
From Ma Xiaotao's perspective, it was simply unbelievable that Huo Yuhao, who already had such wealth, was still worried about subsequent purchases.
"Yu Hao, don't worry. You don't have to worry about money at all. Even the treasures on the third floor are not expensive. Besides, we are red-level VIPs and can get treasures for free once a year."
Ma Xiaotao patted Huo Yuhao's shoulder, feeling confident.
"That's good." Huo Yuhao also cooperated and said to Ma Xiaotao with a slight surprise: "I really didn't expect that the Jubao Pavilion actually belongs to Shrek Academy."
In fact, he knew it well.
The Treasure Collection Pavilion belongs to Shrek Academy, but to be precise, it belongs to the Poseidon Pavilion. One of the elders of the Poseidon Pavilion, Mr. Lin, is the top leader of the Treasure Collection Pavilion.
Mr. Lin's real name is Lin Huiqun. He has a high status in Shrek Academy, second only to Mr. Mu, the Dragon God Douluo, and Mr. Xuan, the Taotie Douluo.
Seeing that there was indeed no good stuff on the second floor, Huo Yuhao had no intention of continuing to wander around after replenishing some necessary basic resources.
The two came to the third floor of Jubao Pavilion.
Compared to the second floor, the third floor is more low-key. There are no reception girls outside to receive guests, and there are no short-skirt girls in their 17s and 18s with excellent looks, plump figures and graceful manners.
Following the red carpet all the way inside until passing through an ancient wooden door, the scene suddenly changed.
The wide venue is magnificent and luxuriously decorated. The ground is paved with precious ivory white jade tiles, and on both sides are white jade pillars with staggered and gorgeous patterns.
The luxurious crystal chandeliers hang down, blooming a soft bright yellow, which is enough to dazzle anyone against the backdrop of the golden walls on both sides.
This exquisite venue layout is simple and luxurious but warm, and the magnificent decorations are shining under the soft light.
Walking into it, the air is filled with a faint incense, which makes people feel refreshed and comfortable.
The third floor of Jubao Pavilion is actually a huge auction venue. In the past, Jubao Pavilion used to auction rare items.
But now it is used to entertain the inner courtyard students of Shrek Academy.
The rules are different from the second floor.
The third floor of Jubao Pavilion is divided into the stage and the stage. The stage is an auction booth under a spotlight, which is used to display the treasures to be displayed.
This is the stage prepared for the auction near nine o'clock.
As for the stage, there are small rooms on both sides.
Generally speaking, unless they are close lovers or brothers.
Otherwise, it is better to separate when the auction is held, otherwise it will be bad if you become enemies for good things or friends want to borrow money.
Huo Yuhao did not have this worry.
He and Ma Xiaotao chose an empty room No. 9 and went in directly.
This is a small room of about 50 square meters. Although the layout is simple, the decoration inside is extremely luxurious.
Precious wood, jade, and various decorations that are obviously expensive at a glance. Although the decoration is full of luxury, it has a sense of elegance.
The wide sofa was made of the hide of a thousand-year-old soul beast, and its long white fur was exceptionally soft. Huo Yuhao and Ma Xiaotao felt comfortable just sitting on it, but it also had good support.
In front of the sofa was a jade table, on which were placed various drinks, alcohol, food, and fruits.
Opposite the sofa was a huge light-guided screen, through which one could see what was to be displayed on the stage. And under the screen was a small device for quoting.
The only drawback was that the core array of this soul guide needed to be activated by soul power, perhaps this was also a test of the strength of the inner courtyard students?
As the venue for the top auction of Jubao Pavilion.
In order to maintain the privacy of the VIPs participating in the auction, all VIPs participating in the auction would have their own exclusive rooms, where bidding and viewing of the items would be carried out.
At the same time, the Appreciation Pavilion would be equipped with a special person in charge to accompany them and explain the items in detail. Of course, the Appreciation Pavilion would also be equipped with maids to help VIPs make quotations.
However, this time, the treasure appreciation meeting was specially held for the Shrek Inner Court students. Everything was kept simple and there were no accompanying personnel.
This was not only to protect the secrets of the Inner Court students, but also to test their own vision and financial resources.
Time gradually came to nine o'clock, and many Inner Court disciples also rushed to the third floor of the Jubao Pavilion one after another, and then entered the small room one by one, waiting for the start of the treasure appreciation meeting.
Since Huo Yuhao was participating in the Inner Court's treasure appreciation meeting for the first time, Ma Xiaotao was explaining the rules of the treasure appreciation meeting to him at this time.
The treasure appreciation meeting on the third floor always had nearly a hundred auction items, ranging from common cultivation pills to top treasure soul bones, which could be said to have everything.
"Usually, the third floor of the Jubao Pavilion was used to hold high-level auctions, so the privacy was particularly good, and the sound insulation of the room was excellent. Of course, now this can't prevent your mental power from being released."
At this point, Ma Xiaotao also touched Huo Yuhao's right hand.
After all, except for the extremely rare soul masters with spiritual attribute martial souls, generally only strong soul saints or above can release spiritual power.
"However, you have to be careful. Although the current treasure appreciation meeting does not specifically guard against spiritual power detection, you should not do whatever you want by relying on the release of spiritual power. There are special people watching outside."
"I am a good citizen. How could I do that?"
Huo Yuhao smiled helplessly.
The reason why the inner courtyard treasure appreciation meeting is in this mode is to prevent the inner courtyard students from being greedy when they see good things and destroy the harmonious and friendly relationship between classmates.
"After all, our treasure appreciation meeting is more advanced than the top auction of Jubao Pavilion. When there are good things, they naturally think of their own family first, so the things taken out by the inner courtyard treasure appreciation meeting are extremely valuable. Every time, there will be a lot of soul bones, at least thousand-year-old level."
Then, Ma Xiaotao added seriously: "My two paired acceleration soul bones were purchased here at this inner courtyard treasure appreciation meeting."
Under Ma Xiaotao's explanation, time gradually came to nine o'clock.
The screen in Room 9 lit up, and the treasure appreciation meeting officially began.
On the auction table on the third floor of the Treasure Gathering Meeting, an auctioneer with a mature charm and wearing a gorgeous purple dress stood up.
The voice transmission soul guide in the room began to work, and a soft female voice sounded.
"Good evening, all the proud children of the inner courtyard of Shrek Academy. Welcome to the annual inner courtyard treasure appreciation meeting. I am Liya, the host of tonight."
After saying that, she walked out from behind the auction table and bowed with a smile.
After returning to the table, Liya smiled slightly: "Our auction starts now. Please ask the staff to present the first item of today's auction."
At this time, on the screen, the first treasure of the treasure appreciation meeting appeared on the auction table.
Liya took a small box covered with purple cloth from a girl in a red skirt, and then lifted the cloth on it.
These are three small jade bottles. When the jade bottles are opened, many inner courtyard students see Liya take out a walnut-sized green pill from it. The surface of the pill seems to have a faint halo flowing, and it is crystal clear.
Liya smiled and said, "I don't think I need to introduce the famous Soul-raising Pill too much. The price starts at 10,000 gold soul coins per pill. Three pills will be auctioned separately. Everyone can start bidding."
"It is indeed the Soul-raising Pill. It is the same every year."
Ma Xiaotao complained and then said, "For most inner courtyard students, the Soul-raising Pill has already been taken and will not be auctioned again. Only its upgraded version, the Soul-nourishing Pill, is really hard to find."
Speaking of this, Ma Xiaotao also remembered something and added, "Just like the Soul-raising Pill I gave you at the beginning, it was put into the treasure appreciation meeting on the second floor after it was unsold here."
"After all, one person can only take one, which is normal."
Huo Yuhao nodded.
From Ma Xiaotao's previous explanation, he knew that the inner courtyard treasure appreciation meeting was actually more like a small auction.
But unlike ordinary auctions, the items in the treasure appreciation meeting are extremely high-end, and the bidding method is also slightly different.
Although it is conducted in the form of an auction, everyone can bid.
The final bidding phase is not just about who bids higher.
Among them, the VIP level has the highest priority, followed by the inner courtyard score, and finally the bid price.
In other words, having money does not mean you can do whatever you want. Even if you enter the reserve price, as long as your VIP level is higher than others, you can take the auction item.
Of course, the number of items that each inner courtyard student can take away varies according to the VIP level.
Most inner courtyard students can only take away one thing, so if they don’t really need it, they won’t bid.
And people like Huo Yuhao who have red-level authority naturally can’t do whatever they want.
He can only take away five items.
Of course, the free opportunity once a year can also be used, and at the final settlement, it is also settled at 40% off.
As time goes by, high-level soul guides, soul guide design drawings, elixirs and medicinal materials, natural treasures, meditation methods...
One item after another was auctioned off.
Among them, there is no shortage of thousand-year soul bones.
Even among the auction items, Huo Yuhao saw familiar items.
That was the thousand-year soul bone that he had just sold not long ago, which he had found from an unknown Title Douluo in the Far North.
Although the quality and age were not very good for him, it was also a rare treasure.
The two of them naturally did not just watch, but also made several attempts to buy the items they liked.
Huo Yuhao also knew that when using the quotation machine, he also needed to insert his own VIP card into the card slot on the back.
Until the end, as Liya opened a familiar bag, the ten-thousand-year soul bone finally appeared.
Huo Yuhao was a little confused.
Something was wrong, very wrong.
Although this soul bone was also the best among the ten-thousand-year soul bones, it was obviously not suitable for him?
What on earth was Yan Shaozhe keeping secret?
