Chapter 20 Auction 2 (Overhaul)

Chapter 20 Auction 2 (Overhaul)

The two black-clothed monks were like imperial guards, with spiritual swords and magic weapons hanging on their waists. They stood motionless in front of the door, watching the intruders with eager eyes.

"Secret words!"

When Liu Yu approached, they looked at him carefully, and one of them made a sound with a very cold attitude.

The black-clothed monk had a fierce and murderous aura about him.

It seems that those who dare to die have experienced many battles and have seen life and death, which is very different from some sect monks.

"Turn your back to all sentient beings"

"Fishing alone for eternity"

"Unknown old age"

Liu Yu's face was expressionless, and she was criticizing the "Secret Word" in her heart, but she was not slow to answer.

After confirming that the secret message was correct, the man in black opened the door and stood aside without moving.

Without any further hesitation, Liu Yu strode in.

Behind the door is a wide hall with red carpets in the aisles.

In the innermost part, there is a high platform about five or six feet tall.

Lanterns were hung on the surrounding walls, emitting a faint light, making the light very bright.

In the hall, several rows of chairs are neatly arranged, but they are not connected together. They are about half a foot apart from each other, as if they are arranged according to some rules.

As for the second and third floors of the lobby, there are exquisite private rooms with small windows that can see the lobby.

After passing through the door and entering the hall, Liu Yu glanced around.

I found that there was a door like this behind me in the other three directions, and monks were appearing from behind the door one after another.

"Look at the entrances and exits, there is more than one."

The thought crossed his mind.

At this time, there were some monks sitting scattered in the hall, most of them covering their faces.

Sit on a chair, either close your eyes and meditate, or look around.

However, they rarely talk to each other, and they obviously don’t want to reveal their identities when participating in this kind of underground auction.

It looked like it was still early and there were still many empty seats.

Liu Yu remained calm, walked to a row at the back, and found a random chair to sit down on.

To his right is a female nun wearing a rabbit mask.

This woman is wearing a simple and elegant pink dress, with beautiful long black hair that naturally falls on both sides of her shoulders.

At a glance, she has a slender neck, delicate collarbones, and neat bangs on her forehead.

The nun in the red dress pinched the corners of her clothes and looked around curiously.

The woman behaved unnaturally and seemed a little wary of the strange monk who suddenly sat next to her.

When she saw the strange monk looking over her, her eyes flashed and she quickly turned her head.

"Judging from his behavior, he shouldn't be old?"

Liu Yu sat upright, noticed this woman's condition, and thought to herself.

However, he had no intention of talking, but looked around silently.

Liu Yu discovered that the hall was full of monks in the Qi refining stage. There were relatively few people like him in the middle stage of Qi refining, and most were in the late stage of Qi refining.

So I made a bold guess that all the monks in the foundation building period are in the private room upstairs?

After a while, when the observation was almost complete, Liu Yu closed her eyes and calmly adjusted her breathing.

…

After about two-quarters of an hour, the seats were gradually filled and there were more and more people.

After a rough scan, there should be two to three hundred monks.

"Dong dong dong~"

With three bells ringing, the underground auction officially begins.

"Bang"

After the bell fell for two breaths, several doors slammed shut with a loud noise.

Liu Yu glanced quickly and saw that the four doors were tightly closed, feeling a little uneasy.

After the door closed, a plump, middle-aged man walked quickly from behind the scenes to the high platform.

Wearing a black robe with gold threads, he stood very conspicuously in the center of the high platform.

"Thank you all fellow Taoists for coming to support us!"

"I, Ji Guanglin, am the host of this auction."

As he spoke, Ji Guanglin clasped his fists in all directions. He was very experienced.

"Let's start with the ugly words. Before the auction begins, I must first make a few points."

"In this auction, all forms of suppression and connection are prohibited, which will affect the normal bidding."

"Anyone who violates the rules will be punished by our auction. In serious cases, they may even be arrested on the spot and have their cultivation level revoked!"

"The quotation is based on the lower-grade spiritual stones. If there are fellow Taoists who don't have enough spiritual stones, they can use other items to offset the price."

Ji Guanglin's voice was gentle at first, but at the end, he hinted of toughness.

As he finished speaking, two bursts of late-stage foundation-building spiritual pressure flashed through the private room on the second floor, frightening anyone with ulterior motives.

Liu Yu listened to the rules carefully and sat upright in his chair without saying a word.

When the monks in the hall heard this, some frowned and some showed disdain.

However, even if some came to vote, they were only monks in the Qi refining stage and did not say anything after all.

"Okay, that's it, the auction officially begins!"

As he spoke, Ji Guanglin took out a small hammer and a small clock from his storage bag, and gently tapped the small clock with the small hammer.

"Boom~"

After the sound, a maid in gorgeous clothes twisted her body and walked out from behind the stage.

She was holding a jade plate with nine jade vases on it.

"The first auction item - Bi Ling Dan."

"Biling Pill is one of the best pills for improving mana and improving cultivation level in the late stage of Qi refining."

"The power of this elixir is mild and easy to absorb, allowing monks to complete the Qi refining period faster and have more time to prepare for foundation building."

"There are five pills in each bottle of Bi Ling Dan, three bottles in each group, divided into three groups for auction,"

"The starting price is one hundred spiritual stones. Each time the price is increased, it must not be less than five spiritual stones."

Pointing to the jade plate in the maid's hand, Ji Guanglin loudly explained the Bi Ling Dan before announcing the start of the auction.

"One hundred and ten spiritual stones"

In the front row of the hall, a monk wearing a white robe and dressed like a young master immediately made a quote.

"One hundred and fifteen spiritual stones"

As Ji Guanglin said, Bi Ling Dan is one of the best elixirs for advanced cultivation in the late stage of Qi refining, and is ranked among the first-level top-grade pills.

The market price is generally eight spirit stones each, and the auction price is set lower to stimulate the monks' desire to bid.

Listening to the quotations coming and going, Liu Yu thought silently.

"One hundred and fifty spirit stones!"

As the price was raised to this amount, the venue suddenly became quiet, and no monks made any further offers.

Although three bottles of fifteen biling pills normally cost only one hundred and twenty spiritual stones.

However, this elixir is mild and easy to refine, and is often marketable and priceless. It is ordered early as soon as it is refined, and very few are in circulation on the market.

Ji Guanglin's fair and fat face was red, and he politely said to the monk who took the pill:

"good!"

"These three bottles of Bi Ling Dan belong to this fellow Taoist. You can go to the side hall for delivery at any time."

As the auction progressed, three groups of Bi Ling Dan were auctioned at prices of 150, 155, and 160 respectively.

"The second auction item is here for me."

Ji Guanglin waved his hand and the maid holding the Bi Ling Dan stepped back, and another beautiful maid came forward holding a jade plate.

"The top-grade magical weapon "Fire Halberd" was refined by Foundation Establishment monks using real fire for seven days and seven nights."

"It has been confirmed by this auction that its power is better than ordinary high-grade magic weapons, and is almost as powerful as the best magic weapons."

"Fellow Taoists who practice fire attribute skills must not miss it!"

"The starting price is four hundred spiritual stones. Each time the price is increased, it must not be less than ten spiritual stones!"

…

Quotations came one after another, and various treasures appeared in front of him, but Liu Yu felt nothing at all.

He came here this time just for Huang Long Dan.

Adhering to the principle of keeping a low profile as much as possible, even if I occasionally see a treasure that interests me, I will not make a bid after thinking about it.

However, the endless treasures emerging from underground auctions still opened his eyes.

As the quotations continued to rise, Liu Yu was really amazed by the financial resources of some monks.
