Chapter 73 Auction
In a blink of an eye, time has come to the day when Lanyue Auction House holds its annual ultimate auction.
Because the auction is conducted according to formal procedures, the Lanyue Auction House basically holds auctions during the day. Unlike some small auction houses, in order to avoid taxes, they often schedule auctions at night, and the locations are often some shady black markets.
It is said that when the Lanyue Auction House holds an auction every month, the Yuanying Daojun of the Zhou family will be there to take charge and ensure the auction goes smoothly.
The annual ultimate auction will definitely be guarded and protected more strictly.
When Lin Xia and Danzai arrived, the area in front of the Lanyue Auction House was already very lively, with many independent cultivators joining in the fun.
However, not everyone can get in.
The Lanyue Auction House will verify the capital of every cultivator entering the auction house. If there are not enough spirit stones as a guarantee, the auction house guards will not let anyone in.
This method of capital verification is also intended to prevent some cultivators from bidding very arrogantly at the auction, but then not being able to come up with enough spirit stones when it comes time to pay.
So as to avoid tarnishing the reputation of the auction house in the end.
At this moment, there are monks at the door checking the capital. The monks who pass the capital verification are respectfully invited in by the maids of the auction house; those who fail the capital verification are ruthlessly kicked out by the guards at the door.
When Lin Xia came over, she attracted the attention of many cultivators. After all, it was unusual for a female cultivator to bring two low-level spirit beasts to an auction. In particular, this female cultivator brought the spirit beasts with her openly instead of putting them in a spirit beast bag.
Lin Xia had no choice! These days, Uncle Rat had been following Lin Xia all the time, and he definitely wouldn't miss out on something interesting like an auction.
What made Lin Xia speechless was that the usually calm Flying Wing Tiger actually wanted to join in the fun after hearing about the auction.
What's even more outrageous is that these two are unwilling to enter the spirit beast bag.
There was no other choice, so Lin Xia had to come here with her family.
Fortunately, the Flying Winged Tiger also knew its limits. This time, not only did it transform into the appearance of a low-level white tiger cub, but it also restrained its aura. If it weren't for the arrival of the Immortal Lord, no cultivator would be able to see through the Flying Winged Tiger's disguise.
Although it attracted some attention, they were just two low-level spirit beasts. Everyone just looked at them and it didn't cause any big commotion.
Only the pink-clothed and yellow-clothed female cultivators who were queuing in the crowd waiting for the people from Lanyue Auction House to verify their capital felt a slight movement in their hearts.
Especially the pink-robed female cultivator, whose greedy eyes kept circling over Master Rat and the Flying Winged Tiger, hidden from everyone else's sight. As for what she was thinking, only the pink-robed female cultivator knew.
At this moment, Lin Xia had also walked to the door of the auction house. Amidst the surprised gazes of the monks, he took out an invitation letter from his storage ring, handed it to the guard at the door, and was then respectfully led in by the maid.
There were quite a few cultivators who had invitations to the Lanyue Auction House, but most of them were from powerful forces in Mingyue City, or cultivators at the Jindan stage or above. How could this female cultivator in the early stages of foundation building also have one?! For a moment, the cultivators couldn't help but speculate.
After passing through the empty hall, the group arrived at the Lanyue Auction House where the auction was being held. "Sir, your seat is in the private room on the third floor," the maid said as she led the way and introduced Lin Xia.
Lin Xia was soon brought to a private room on the third floor with the number 16 on the door. The room was exceptionally clean and the space inside was not small. There was not only a complete set of tables and chairs, but also a soft couch. On the table was a pot of blooming flowers.
Before the man and the two beasts could sit down, several other maids came in from outside and brought snacks, tea, and even a plate of fresh spiritual fruits to Lin Xia and the others.
"Sir, there are two buttons on the table in your private room. Pressing the red button means you'll join the auction and bid higher. If you need anything else, please press the green button and we'll come back." One of the maids said as she retreated out the door with the others. "We'll take our leave."
When the door to the private room was closed, Flying Tiger jumped onto the couch and lazily looked downstairs. "This auction house is quite ingenious."
It should be because of the formation that the window in this box close to the auction table downstairs can clearly see everything in the hall downstairs, but the monks outside cannot peek into the situation inside the box, which can be said to greatly protect the privacy of the monks in the box.
Speaking of which, it was not only Lin Xia and Danzai, but also Flying Winged Tiger and Rat Grandpa who were participating in the auction of the cultivation world for the first time. The man and two beasts couldn't help but stare at the downstairs with some curiosity, and didn't even have time to taste the snacks and tea on the table.
Lin Xia did not forget Danzai this time, but the little guy was not interested in the auction and just sat quietly on the table in front of his mother.
As the monks around the auction table downstairs gradually filled up, a young female monk in a red robe lightly jumped onto the auction table in the center of the hall.
"Hello fellow Daoists! Welcome to the Lanyue Auction House! I, Zhou Xunzhu, will be in charge of the auction for this final auction..."
The Zhou family is indeed one of the largest forces in Mingyue City. Even the female cultivators who are in charge of the auction and introducing the items are cultivators in the Foundation Establishment Stage.
"Then, let's bring out the first lot!"
With the sound of a clear voice, the ultimate auction finally kicked off.
At the beginning of the auction, the items on display were not very valuable and the competition was not too fierce. Because there was nothing of interest, Lin Xia and the others lost interest after taking a look.
"It seems like all the good stuff is coming up at the end!" Lin Xia wondered when the Jade Spirit Ginseng would appear. While thinking about it, she picked up the auction list on the table.
"Is this the innate spiritual jade?" Lin Xia pointed to the pattern on a small piece of jade on the auction list and asked Fei Tian Yi Hu.
"Yes, it is the innate spiritual jade. How come it is so small?!" The Flying Winged Tiger glanced at the pattern on the list and slowly answered Lin Xia.
It turned out to be the innate spiritual jade. Lin Xiake had not forgotten the innate spiritual jade in his storage ring.
Lin Xia: "What's the use of this thing?"
The Flying Winged Tiger looked at Lin Xia in surprise, "Don't you know? Innate Spirit Jade is a top-tier material for refining weapons. The more Innate Spirit Jade you incorporate into your weapon, the easier it is for the weapon to produce a spirit."
How could this be? The Innate Spirit Jade was actually the refining material for inducing the birth of a weapon spirit! Lin Xia couldn't help but feel excited. Fortunately, he had dug out a small piece. Although it was a small piece, it was much larger than the one on the auction list.
