Listening Wave Sea Auction

Not long after, an old man returned to Quiet Room.

He was wearing a simple gray robe, his white hair was meticulously combed behind his head, his big eyes were bright, and he looked like he had a lot of experience.

The most important thing is that his cultivation level has reached Late-stage Golden Core.

He sat opposite Xiao Chen, waved his hand, and the surrounding silent circle immediately lit up.

Then he introduced himself, "This fellow Daoist has been waiting for a long time, I am "Kuang Ruihong". Next, I will be responsible for appraising the auction of fellow Daoist."

"If fellow Daoist fellow Daoist don't mind, can I start now?"

Xiao Chen naturally didn't mind, and stretched out his hand to point at the jade box. "Fellow Daoist, please!"

"Oh, Cloud Pattern Relief White Jade Box?"

Kuang Ruihong naturally noticed the jade box on the table. "Look at the workmanship, it looks like something that came from the west."

I have to say, he saw it quite accurately.

Xiao Chen couldn't help but take a good look at it. This thing came from the Lightless Sea. Compared to the Compassion Sea, it was indeed in the west.

Kuang Ruihong just made a simple comment and then reached out to open the jade box.

There was no movement, but there was a faint Spiritual Power fluctuation in his eyes.

After looking over it carefully.

He closed the lid again and looked at Xiao Chen: "Fellow Daoist, this thing should be the fourth-level spiritual soil 'Heavy Origin Spirit Breath Soil'. It has the effect of getting twice the result with half the effort for planting Spirit Plant and giving birth to spirit medicine."

"Such spiritual beings are mostly born in places where the earth's energy accumulates. It turns out..., but unfortunately the total amount is too small..."

After the introduction, he concluded. "If fellow Daoists want this Consignment Auction, I recommend a starting price of 300,000 Spirit Stone. What do you think of it?"

This price is not much different from what Xiao Chen originally expected.

Although Heavy Origin Spirit Breath Soil is precious, there is only one box like this after all, and only one spirit medicine plant can be planted at a time.

"I have a few more things, please identify them with fellow Daoists."

Xiao Chen did not make a decision directly. He reached out and brushed the table and put down the four jade boxes again.

"This thing is..."

Kuang Ruihong raised his eyebrows, ignored the other Three Spirit Accumulating Treasure Boxes, and looked directly at the fourth one. "It's really Violet Star Radiance Box."

He looked through the entire jade box very carefully.

His expression became a little more serious again. "It's still Silver Thread Star Sand Glaze's traditional method. It's really rare."

After sighing, he began to examine the spiritual objects inside.

"If I read it correctly, this should be a piece of 'Burrowing Turtle Moon Embracing Jade'. Since Burrowing Turtle disappeared, this special Fourth-Order Spiritual Item has also been lost long ago."

"When I saw it today, it was indeed as rumored that it contained the essence of moonlight."

"This thing..."

Kuang Ruihong raised his hand and stroked his beard, and then said, "I suggest the price be 250,000 Spirit Stone."

This price is much higher than Xiao Chen initially expected.

He originally thought that it would be good if this thing could be sold 200,000 Spirit Stones.

That's considering it might be useful for some kind of Special Formation.

Seemingly guessing what he was thinking, Kuang Ruihong took the initiative to explain, "Fellow Daoist, this jade box itself can be considered an orphan."

"If you can meet someone who knows the goods, the price of Fifty Thousand Spirit Stones should not be expensive."

"If you fellow Daoist would like to bid for the auction, I suggest you repackage the spiritual jade and put Violet Star Radiance Box out for auction separately."

"In this way, the spiritual jade can be disposed of at a low price and the value of the jade box can be fully utilized."

Xiao Chen heard this and suddenly realized.

I didn't expect Heaven Star Sect to be so generous, and the box used to hold the rewards has a good background.

He nodded. "What fellow Daoist said makes sense, so let's do it."

This method is indeed very good. After all, there must be people who only want Burrowing Turtle Moon Embracing Jade, and there may be people who only want Violet Star Radiance Box to take back and collect.

But there should be very few people who want both at the same time, so separation will be more conducive to sales.

After hearing Xiao Chen's agreement, Kuang Ruihong continued to check the remaining three items.

"One standard Flowing Gold Mystic Jade Pearl pill is worth about Fifty Thousand Spirit Stones."

"The top grade Silver Silk Spirit Soil should be worth thirty thousand Spirit Stone."

"Fresh Moonlight Condensed Frost, this one is slightly cheaper, I estimate it can only be sold for just over 10,000 Spirit Stone."

These things are all Third-Order Spiritual Object, so naturally they are not that valuable.

"Both these two spiritual objects are likely to fetch high prices."

After the appraisal of Kuang Ruihong was completed, he asked, "I wonder how many pieces of Consignment Auction you will prepare? How much will it cost?"

Xiao Chen has already thought about it, "I have no use for these things, so naturally it's best to get rid of them all."

"As for the starting price, it's just what fellow Daoist said just now."

Kuang Ruihong Hearing this, a hint of joy flashed across his face.

After all, this is the kind of customer he attracts, and he can get a share of it after the auction is successful.

"No problem!"

He reached out and took out six Spirit Contract from under the table, took up a pen and wrote down the spiritual object and the starting price, "Please leave your name here, fellow Daoist, and leave all other matters to me."

Xiao Chen glanced at Spirit Contract, and its content was unremarkable.

They are all standard commission templates written in advance, leaving only the name of the spiritual object, price and signature blank.

Therefore, a new signature is required for every Consignment Auction item.

In addition, this Spirit Contract itself has no binding force on the monk, and can only be used as proof that Jade Leaf Commerce Association has taken the spiritual object from him.

And after the auction ends, retrieve the items or receive the voucher for Spirit Stone.

However, it is written with the autographs of several shopkeepers Jade Leaf Commerce Association and Cloud Wave Sword Abode number Elder, which is a kind of guarantee of character.

Under normal circumstances, you will not default on your debt.

Xiao Chen signed his name with a few "swish" strokes, and saw Kuang Ruihong handing over a purple token. "Fellow Daoist has a good cultivation level, and he has brought out so many treasures Consignment Auction."

"This is a standalone VIP Room Token for this auction."

"This bento should be a gift from me to fellow Daoists."

Xiao Chen did not shirk, and reached out to take the token, only to see a flash of spiritual light on it.

On the front is a picture of watching the sea and listening to the waves, and on the back are three vertical characters - Yi Twenty Four.

After careful sensing, it seems to contain some kind of prohibition, which should be a token used to open the box.

"The auction will be held in three days. At that time, fellow Daoists can go directly to the box on the second floor with this token."

Kuang Ruihong introduced, "In addition, you can also use this token to obtain the Spirit Stone quota guaranteed by this chamber of commerce."

"As long as the cumulative bid price during bidding does not exceed the upper limit of three million Spirit Stone, you can wait until the end of the auction for unified settlement."

Some auctions are held to prevent casual practitioners from being instigated or deliberately causing trouble.

He made random quotations regardless of the consequences, which ultimately led to the failure of some important auctions.

They will be asked to pay Spirit Stone on the spot. If they cannot get it, they will be arrested and the second place bid will be followed and so on to ensure that the transaction is completed smoothly.

But later I discovered that such cumbersome rules would cause a lot of misunderstandings and dissatisfaction.

.

So some smart people came up with a compromise strategy.

For some powerful monks, higher-level casual cultivators, and monks who have taken out important items Consignment Auction, we will proactively give away different Spirit Stone amounts.

The amount is mainly distinguished based on different boxes.

Xiao Chen is now the monk Late-stage Golden Core, and he has given a lot of valuable items, so he was assigned to B-class Private Room, which is in the second level.

As for the higher A-class, it is usually reserved for Nascent Soul True Lord or Golden Core Sect Master from a certain big force.

After a brief exchange of greetings, Xiao Chen was sent away.

Kuang Ruihong sat back on the chair, picked up Violet Star Radiance Box and looked at it. "It contains Celestial Bodies. I have never heard of such a force."

For many veteran appraisers, it has become instinctive to guess the origin of each other based on the items.

In fact, as soon as he entered the door, he noticed Storage Ring in Xiao Chen's hand.

That kind of forging method is not popular here at the Compassion Sea, plus these two special Fourth-Order Spiritual Item.

One of them he couldn't tell, but the other one was 90% sure that it was something flowing from the west.

"Could he be a monk from the west?"

Kuang Ruihong carefully recalled the wanted lists, but the name Xiao Chen was not mentioned in them.

There are similarities in body shape, but the cultivation conditions are not the same, so the suspicion in this aspect can basically be ruled out.

"There should be no big problem with my identity, and there shouldn't be any problem with my things."

Kuang Ruihong thought about it for a while, and he seemed to be overthinking it.

However, just to be on the safe side, he still took Violet Star Radiance Box to get up and go to the backyard and write down his judgment in two copies.

It is customary to keep a record of the more precious items in order to provide clues for tracing if an accident occurs in the future.

The other copy was sent to the Chamber of Commerce Second Shopkeeper as a situation report.

It's not because of other reasons, but because he knows that his Withered Leaf True Monarch has always liked to collect such High Antiquity relics.

Although in theory, the contents of the auction should be kept confidential.

But that's just in theory. The people who should know include but are not just Second Shopkeeper. Naturally, they can know all the rare auction items in advance.

Xiao Chen comes out of the Treasure Gathering Pavilion.

Looking at the bustling streets, I felt a lot more relaxed.

The consignment has been completed, and VIP Room Token has been obtained. I don't need to worry about missing the auction. "There are still three days left, let's find a place to live first."

After all, it's Golden Core True Person, and you can't sleep on the street.

Although he often sleeps Desolate Island in the street and actually doesn't mind sleeping on the street, being independent will attract unnecessary attention, so it's better to go with the crowd.

After all, accommodation only costs a few Spirit Stone.

"What? Why is it so expensive?"

Xiao Chen frowned slightly. "You charge five hundred yuan a day Spirit Stone, is your house made of gold?"

To be honest, this is really ridiculously expensive.

The inn steward smiled and explained, "Senior, please calm down. What I just introduced to you is the best independent courtyard here, which contains Triple Defensive Formation."

"It can not only resist unexpected attacks, but also isolate sound, and it can also isolate Spiritual Sense Probe. The cost is naturally relatively high."

"Especially the last bit."

The steward took out a hand-drawn Simple Formation Diagram as an introduction. "I can assure you that even if it is Nascent Soul True Lord, you cannot use Divine Sense to penetrate our Defensive Formation."

"If you are not satisfied, there are ordinary rooms available for only fifty Spirit Stone per night."

Huh?

Xiao Chen took over Simple Formation Diagram. It was introduced above that the entire row of small yards was uniformly arranged with medium-sized Fourth-Order Shielding Formation.

This is a bit interesting. For such a large auction, there must be more than one Nascent Soul True Lord coming.

With the auction coming up, everyone definitely needs some sense of security, and no one wants to be exposed under the noses of True Lord people all day long.

Besides, you won't be staying here permanently anyway, so it doesn't cost much in total.

Judging from the picture, there are quite a few monks who think this way, and a total of ten of the twelve courtyards have been rented out.

Only the two rooms on the far left and right are still empty.

Therefore Xiao Chen did not hesitate. "Okay, I want the one on the right."

He placed the order directly for four days and got a Small Formation Flag.

After finding a place to live, Xiao Chen was not busy practicing in the courtyard.

It was a rare trip out, and Listening Wave Island was already very busy at this time, so he decided to walk around the streets to see if he could come across something useful to him.

Although the possibility of this is low, what if it happens?

I seem to have been very lucky recently, maybe I can pick up an unasked Ancient Divine Artifact from a street stall and bring it back.

Listening Wave Island The reason why a Great Plaza is reserved in the middle is to facilitate the monks who come to set up street stalls.

Of course, you also need to pay Spirit Stone to set up a stall. No matter what you sell, you need to pay a stall fee of one thousand Spirit Stone every day.

Moreover, a stall is only ten feet long and six feet wide. If you want to occupy more, you have to pay Spirit Stone more.

Even so, the stalls in this square were rented out early and were crowded with various small vendors and casual practitioners.

For the next three days, Xiao Chen will go out early every morning.

I ran to the square and checked each stall, trying my best to find something missing.

It's a pity that after three days in a row, apart from seeing through a bunch of profiteers selling fake goods, I didn't even see the shadow of Divine Artifact.

Fortunately, Xiao Chen is not completely fruitless.

He heard a lot of gossip in the square in the past two days. Apart from the particularly outrageous things, it also gave him a general understanding of the big and small forces here at the Listening Wave Sea.

The first is Cloud Wave Sword Abode, which can be called the absolute overlord.

Under it are Hu, Jiang, Mo Three Great Families and Jade Leaf Commerce Association.

Going back to Three Great Families, everything is inextricably related to Cloud Wave Sword Abode.

Only Jade Leaf Commerce Association is relatively independent while maintaining cooperation because Nascent Soul True Lord is in charge.

Further down are some small Lineages, most of whom only have one or two Golden Cores and have no background of Nascent Soul Stages.

In other words, there is almost no threat to Xiao Chen further down.

It is worth mentioning that with the emergence of Surging Wave True Monarch.

In the past two years, many disciples of Cloud Wave Sword Abode have gone to the border activities of the Southern Marsh Sea next door.

There are some older Golden Core Disciples among them, who simply started families and started businesses there and opened up branches.

Therefore, in the past three days, Xiao Chen also heard about several legal battles, most of which ended with Sword Abode Disciple winning.

But with the sudden appearance of Esteem Truth Temple this year, such things seem to have become more subtle.

Under normal circumstances, it is best for the two major forces to divide their spheres of influence according to natural boundaries.

However, according to the rumors Xiao Chen has heard these days, Cloud Wave Sword Abode seems to have no intention of restraining his disciples at all.

If you don't say it, it's acquiescence, so some practitioners boldly predicted it.

There will be a battle between the two sects in the near future, and the price of the defense Spirit Artifact will inevitably increase in the future. It is better for everyone to hurry up and buy the Fire Refined Yellow Sand in his hands now. If it is too late, you may not be able to buy it.

March 18th.

It was just getting dark, and Listening Wave Island was already becoming lively.

A large number of monks went out early and rushed to the Auction Hall, hoping to grab a good seat in the front row.

Some people even stood guard outside the hall two days in advance, standing at the limit of what the patrol guards could tolerate.

"Boo~!"

As the formation's light curtain retracted, Xiao Chen also walked out.

Immediately he saw many monks going out together on the streets around him.

Some of them had already put on bamboo hats or veils before going out, tightly covering their faces.

There are also people who don't care and openly show their true colors to others.

He observed along the way that almost 30% of the area was occupied by monks hiding their faces.

Looking at this situation, I'm afraid Bandit Cultivator here at the Listening Wave Sea is a little bit arrogant, otherwise everyone wouldn't be so scared.

But Xiao Chen naturally doesn't need to be afraid of this.

Golden Core cultivator dares to trouble him, the only one who will be unlucky is the other party.

If you meet Nascent Soul True Lord who is shameless enough, there is no point in adding another layer of veil, just run away and that's it.

"Welcome seniors!"

Today at the Auction Hall entrance, there were many young and beautiful Foundation Establishment female nuns.

When you see someone showing your token, you will be greeted immediately and directed to the second floor without queuing.

"This is B24, senior, please come in!"

The female cultivator who was leading the way stood at the door, staring at Xiao Chen with eyes. "Senior, do you need someone to stay here to serve you?"

"The little lady is willing..."

Before she could finish speaking, Xiao Chen waved her hand. "No, close the door."

He could see clearly that there was a charming look in the other person's eyebrows. He must have practiced some kind of Bewitching Skill.

All the excuses for serving him are just excuses, and they are clearly just greedy for his body.

I want to steal Primordial Yang to nourish my own cultivation.

When the female cultivator heard this, there was a trace of regret in her eyes. Such a young Golden Core True Person must be much better than those old men. But she did not dare to make a mistake and retreated obediently.

The private room is equipped with tea fruits, two sets of tables and chairs and a large bed.

Whether you are sitting or lying down, you can clearly see the scattered seats of First Floor below and the semicircular high platform in the middle.

Xiao Chen boldly picked up Spirit Fruit to taste, while waiting for the auction to begin.

"Clang!"

I don't know how long it took, but when he picked up the last Spirit Fruit, a loud gong sound suddenly came from below.

Xiao Chen looked down and saw a young man in white with sharp eyebrows and starry eyes appearing in the middle of the auction.

He stood with his hands behind his hands and looked around.

All the monks who looked at him couldn't help but feel a chill in their hearts.

"It turned out to be Surging Wave True Monarch!"

"I really didn't expect that he actually looks younger than in the portrait."

"That's for sure. I'm only sixty years old this year, which is equivalent to a six-year-old child. It's better than Beauty Pill."

"Why is he standing in the middle? Is he hosting this auction?"

"It's impossible, I think..."

There was an uproar in the hall, and many monks lowered their voices to discuss with each other.

Just seeing Nascent Soul True Lord with your own eyes made everyone excited.

"I will be responsible for maintaining order in this auction."

Surging Wave True Monarch spoke slowly, "I hope everyone will give me some face and prevent anything unpleasant from happening."

His voice sounded a little gentle, even kind.

He seems to be the kind of honest person who doesn't dare to fight back when being bullied.

But no one of the monks here dared to look down upon him, even if the other monk did not wear Flying Sword around his waist.

"Let's get started!"

Surging Wave True Monarch gave the order, a drop of water fell on the spot, and the person disappeared.

Immediately behind the high platform, two rows of maids walked out from the left and right, each holding a large tray in their hands.

The trays were all covered with red cloth, so it was not clear what was inside.

In this large-scale auction, a complete list of items was not given from beginning to end, and a sense of mystery was deliberately maintained throughout.

A voluptuous female cultivator stood in the middle.

She had her hair high on her temples, was dressed in rich clothes, and was covered in all kinds of jewelry. She was filled with jewels, and she looked rich and powerful.

"Welcome to all seniors and fellow Daoists, I am Auctioneer Luo Hanxiang."

"This first lot is a Five-Colored Jade Coral!"

As her voice sounded, the first maid on the left reached out and took off the red cloth.

The five-color jade coral underneath is exposed.

"I believe everyone knows this thing, so I won't go into details here."

"The starting bid for this item is 10,000 Spirit Stone. Each increase in price shall not be less than 100. Start now!"

This asking price is obviously too low, but it is also done deliberately to liven up the atmosphere.

Sure enough, upon hearing such a low price, a monk immediately shouted out the price impatiently, "Twelve thousand Spirit Stone!"

Huh?

Xiao Chen glanced at it and suspected that this person was the one arranged by the Jade Leaf Commerce Association.

The bidding below was fierce, and the price soon reached 100,000 Spirit Stone.

In the end, it was won by VIP Room B6 at a high price of 126,800 Spirit Stone.

It can be considered a good start.

Although the monks who can sit on it are basically Golden Core, the pill-forming spiritual objects are scarce for any force, so naturally there will not be too many.

Immediately afterwards, more than ten spiritual objects appeared one after another.

Among them, there are all Dan array talismans, and they are all rare and exquisite products that are rarely seen in the outside world. Each piece has sold over 10,000 Spirit Stone.

But for Xiao Chen, this link is somewhat boring.

For him today, these things are almost the same as sundries except for the value of Spirit Stone.

However, the organizers obviously thought of this.

After the first two rows of maids withdrew, two more people brought up a large tray.

"There are many exotic flowers and plants in Third-Order Spiritual Object."

"But if you want to say the most special thing among them, it must be this thing!"

Luo Hanxiang paused deliberately to whet everyone's appetite.

Then he reached out and uncovered the red cloth, revealing the Golden Light sparkling spiritual flower underneath.

"This lot is a Nine-Petal Golden Stamen that has been cultivated for nine hundred years and has reached its peak medicinal properties!"

"As we all know, this flower is rare in quantity... especially for monk Gold Spiritual Root, it is a rare treasure."

"Starting price Fifty Thousand Spirit Stones!"

Upon hearing such a high price, many casual cultivators shook their heads. This price was obviously unacceptable to them.

"That's great, I didn't expect to meet Nine-Petal Golden Stamen here."

A voice came from the second floor. "I offer 70,000 Spirit Stone!"

He immediately added 20,000 Spirit Stone, obviously he was tempted.

"One hundred thousand Spirit Stone!"

However, before he could finish his words, Xiao Chen doubled the starting price.

When he finally found one of his target spiritual objects, he wouldn't be polite.

Since the beginning of the auction, there has never been a single increase in price of 30,000 Spirit Stone.

After hearing this, everyone present took a look at the second floor.

Although I couldn't see what was going on in the box, I remembered the number B twenty-four.

Secretly guessing which big force he comes from.
