Tang San Auctions Two Great Hidden Weapons, Preliminary Cooperation Reached with Prince Xue Xing
Led by the frightened etiquette girl, the Gu Tian group walked through a revolving corridor made of black marble and arrived at the highest-standard Tianzihao auction house inside Heaven Dou Grand Auction House. This room was specially opened for wealthy aristocrats, and the starting prices of the goods inside were all above 10,000 Gold Soul Coin.
The decoration here is extremely luxurious, with chandeliers polished from the soul of the sea hanging on the ceiling, exuding a cold and noble light. Before entering the venue, the girl stopped and took a plate of exquisite masks from the attendant on the side.
"Dear guests, this is a specially made mask for this auction. This mask can not only block mental scanning, but also perfectly hide your appearance and identity. Heaven Dou Grand Auction House promises that your privacy will be protected under the strictest protection here. Even the master of a country must abide by the rules here." The girl explained patiently.
Gu Tian randomly chose a mask from them and put it on his face. Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing also chose cute pink and cool silver masks respectively. After everyone sat down, Gu Tian found that due to the extremely high threshold, only about one-fifth of the seats were occupied in this huge auction hall, but the aura exuding from everyone sitting here was indescribably expensive.
"Welcome to the Heaven Dou Supreme Hall." An auctioneer wearing a bright red dress came up to the stage. He bowed slightly to the audience and said in a calm voice, "Today's first auction is a belt Soul Tool. Although its internal space is only two cubic meters, the advantage is that the material is made of extremely rare meteorite iron, which not only has excellent defense, but also has a certain automatic repair function of Soul Power."
"Starting price: 10,000 Gold Soul Coin."
Gu Tian looked at the belt on the stage and couldn't help but curled his lips. Compared with the twenty-four independent spaces of Tang San and Twenty-Four Bridge Moonlit Night, this Soul Tool did seem a lot inferior. But in such a high-end auction house, it still caused many small and medium-sized nobles to compete, and was finally sold to a wealthy businessman for a price of 20,000 Gold Soul Coin.
Gu Tian noticed that there were four buttons neatly arranged on the right hand armrest of each seat.
"One hundred, one thousand, ten thousand, one hundred thousand."
This should be a quick bidder representing the price for each additional increase.
Subsequently, some exquisite Soul Tool, rare and top-quality jewelry and expensive alchemical materials were sold on the stage one after another.
Xue Qinghe sat between Ning Fengzhi and Gu Tian. The eyes under the mask looked at Gu Tian with a smile, and asked in a low voice, " Gu Tian Brother, after reading so much, do you like any of them? If so, just ask, I would like to give it to you in a private name, as a way to congratulate you on your enrollment and to repay your kindness in taking care of my sister in the academy."
Gu Tian smiled and shook his head, "Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness, but there is really nothing close to your heart at the moment, so I won't let Your Highness spend any money."
At this moment, the lights on the stage suddenly became hotter. The auctioneer's expression also became extremely serious. He opened the red silk on the tray beside him, revealing two weapons with strange shapes and a cold metallic sheen.
"The next auction items are two Qimen Hidden Weapon--Hidden Sand Shooting Shadow and Godly Zhuge Crossbow with great significance across the ages!"
The host introduced loudly, "Hidden Sand Shooting Shadow, which can eject thirty-six steel needles filled with highly toxic and powerful hypnotic drugs in an instant, is an artifact of Soul Master's close defense; and Godly Zhuge Crossbow is a killing weapon that completely surpasses the crossbow standard of the modern imperial army. It is powerful enough to shoot through the protective body Soul Power of level 30 Soul Elder!"
"The starting price of each piece is: fifteen thousand Gold Soul Coin! Each bid increase shall not be less than five thousand Gold Soul Coin!"
When Ning Fengzhi heard this, a flash of emotion flashed in his originally indifferent eyes. As the only auxiliary sect in Upper Three Sects, what Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect lacks most is this ability. It is a powerful means for the auxiliary system Soul Master to protect itself. If all Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect members can be equipped with these two pieces of Hidden Weapon, the safety of the entire sect can be guaranteed.
Just when Ning Fengzhi reached out to press the "10,000" price increase button, Gu Tian gently raised his hand and pressed it on the back of Ning Fengzhi's hand.
"Uncle Ning, wait a minute." Gu Tian reminded in a low voice, "These two things were made by my old classmate Tang San. If you want to buy them, we can talk to him privately. The price can be much lower. There is no need to pay handling fees here. What's more... Hidden Weapon of this level is not worthy of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect at the moment."
Hearing that it was made by Tang San, a flash of surprise flashed in Ning Fengzhi's eyes. He knew the subtle hostile relationship between Gu Tian and Tang San, and since Gu Tian spoke, he naturally chose to trust it.
What Gu Tian said is true. The Tang Sect Hidden Weapons manufactured by Tang San did play a valuable role in the decisive battle of Jialing Pass, but the production cost and production cycle of this thing are still relatively long. Most people can't learn it yet. If there is a chance, the Soul Tool weapon developed by the Sun Moon Continent next door is more suitable for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. When he has the ability in the future, he will definitely go to the Sun Moon Continent next door to take a look.
"I see, then there is really no need to fight here." Ning Fengzhi retracted his hand.
Xue Qinghe watched all this from the side. She became very curious about the two gadgets made by Tang San. However, in front of Gu Tian, in order to maintain the dignity and position of the prince, she did not directly bid for them.
"Twenty thousand Gold Soul Coin!"
"Twenty-five thousand!"
The price kept rising. Finally, a person sitting in a box on the other side of the auction house bought these two pieces of Hidden Weapon for a high price of 50,000 Gold Soul Coin.
Xue Qinghe recognized the identity of the other party through some kind of privileged feeling under the mask, and frowned slightly. "Is it him?"
"Who is that?" Gu Tian asked.
"That is my uncle, and also the biological brother of my father Xue Ye - Prince Xue Xing." Xue Qinghe explained, with a hint of helplessness in his tone, "He has been with in the palace. Xue Beng Prince is getting closer, maybe because he doesn't like my gentle personality, and always feels that I lack the murderous spirit of the royal family. He bought these Hidden Weapon, probably because he wanted to give Xue Beng some more chips to protect himself."
Gu Tian can feel Xue Qinghe's tone. He really doesn't care much about Xue Beng. After all, in order not to be targeted by Xue Qinghe, Xue Beng gets drunk every day and pretends to be crazy. However, Gu Tian can't remind him directly. He can't expose his true face directly!
The auction gradually came to an end, and the atmosphere in the air became more and more depressing.
"Everyone, next is the grand finale of this auction." The host's voice had a hint of hoarseness, "This is an extremely rare accident. At the time of Martial Soul Awakening, due to the extreme fusion and mutation of Martial Soul and the flesh, a girl with cat-like characteristics was born - Catwoman."
As the red silk was unveiled, a huge iron cage was pushed onto the stage.
Inside the iron cage, sat a girl of about fourteen or fifteen years old. She was wearing an extremely revealing gauze, and fine cat lines were faintly visible on her fair skin. The most eye-catching thing was the pair of white cat ears that were constantly trembling on her head, and the curly tail behind her. She was trembling and huddled in the corner, her big eyes of different colors full of fear and despair.
"Starting price: 50,000 Gold Soul Coin! Each time the price is increased, it must not be less than 10,000 Gold Soul Coin!"
Gu Tian looked at Catwoman on the stage and felt a deep sense of irony in his heart. In this world, the value of people sometimes far exceeds those rare treasures. Xue Qinghe looked at Gu Tian and asked tentatively, "Brother Gu Tian, does he like this kind of exotic maid? If you are interested, how about I give it to you as a maid serving tea and water?"
