Chapter 18 The flying rocks from the sky are finally obtained. This chapter is free.
The third day after the six people went down the mountain, this day was also the day when the Tianwai Flying Stone Auction was held.【】
Early in the morning, Lu Sheng and others got up and went to Wangchun Tower, prepared to eat, and then went to Zhaixing Tower to participate in the auction.
Halfway through the meal, Baishuihe suddenly spoke: "Today is the day of the Tianwai Flying Stone Auction Conference, but today, my cultivation has reached the most critical moment. I plan to practice in seclusion and break through the physical realm in one fell swoop. Therefore,
I can’t go to participate, and Yi Su also has to protect me. So only the four of you can go to the auction conference."
"Congratulations to Senior Brother Bai, you are about to break through the physical realm and become an outsider!" Su Ho said hurriedly.
Several other people also expressed their congratulations.
Baishuihe nodded slightly, took out a command talisman from his arms, and said: "This is the command talisman of my Five Mountains Sword Sect. You can participate in the auction with this command talisman. Among you, I think Lu Sheng
This is the most suitable talisman. What do you think?"
"Among us, Lu Sheng is the strongest, so naturally it is Lu Sheng who takes this talisman." Wei Donglai said.
Lu Sheng knew that Baishuihe wanted to take this opportunity to kill him and seize the Flying Stone from the Sky, but he still pretended to be unaware and said: "Senior Brother Bai, although you can rest assured to practice and achieve breakthroughs, I will definitely buy the Flying Stone from the Sky."
Come."
"The money the leader gave me this time far exceeded the previous auction price of the Flying Stone from Heaven. Leader Zhong came to take it for urgent use. You must keep the Flying Stone well." Baishuihe took out another brocade box, obviously
The box contains banknotes.
"This Baishuihe tells lies, his face doesn't turn red, his heart doesn't beat, everything is so natural, he's so good at pretending!" Lu Sheng thought in his heart and said, "Lu Sheng must live up to the trust of senior brother!"
After receiving the order talisman and a brocade box, Lu Sheng said to Wei Donglai and others: "It's getting late now, we can leave."
The Star Building has a total of four floors. The first and second floors are used for auctions. The first floor is open to the public and can be entered by paying a few coins. The second floor is the VIP area, which is divided into many boxes. Each
The private rooms can be viewed from above to below.
As soon as she arrived at the Zhaixing Tower, Li Mengyun wanted to go back to that day a few months ago, when the Southern Business Alliance Conference was held here, and it was this day that became the turning point in her destiny.
Lu Sheng gently patted Li Mengyun and gave him a warm look. Li Mengyun bit his lip, forced a smile and nodded in response.
"Are you here to participate in the auction?" the guard at the door of the Star Building asked.
Lu Sheng took out the command talisman and handed it to the guards. These guards naturally knew the command talisman of each sect and hurriedly bowed and said: "It turns out that you are a distinguished guest of the Five Mountains Sword Sect. Please come in, please come in!"
Lu Sheng nodded, and several people walked into the Star-Zhaing Tower. At the same time, the guard at the door shouted: "The Five Sacred Swordsmen are here!"
Soon someone led Lu Sheng and others to the private room with the name "Geng" on the second floor. Soon a smart-looking man with luxurious clothes came in and said: "Knights from the Five Mountains Sword Sect, welcome to participate in this auction.
.I am the general manager of the Star Reaching Tower, if you have any questions, just give me your orders!"
Lu Sheng nodded and said a few polite words casually.
At this time, there was another shout from downstairs: "Emei's troops are here!"
"General manager, how many sects are participating in the auction this time?" Lu Sheng asked.
The manager replied without hesitation: "We have sent invitations to every sect for this auction conference. It is hard to say how many sects will come by then, but according to past practice, about 80% of the sects will come to participate.
"
"Thank you, manager. You can go down and do your work first," Lu Sheng said.
The steward then bowed and retreated.
In the following time, the Duanjian Sect, Rashomon Sect, Huayu Sect, Kongtong Sect, Zhuwu Sect, Duyuan Sect, Longhu Sect, Huajian Sect, and Jiuhua Sect came to Zhaixing Tower one by one.
The entrance of a sect will cause a lively atmosphere in the whole place. In their eyes, these sects are like aloof existences, allowing them to look up and respect them!
Half an hour had passed since the originally scheduled time for the auction to begin, but the Dayu Temple and Kunlun Gate that everyone was looking forward to did not show up. In the end, it aroused dissatisfaction among the people, and Zhaixinglou had to announce the start of the auction.
"Kunlun Gate and Dayu Temple did not participate in this auction. Why?" Wei Donglai asked doubtfully.
"I don't know either, but it is said that Kunlun Gate and Dayu Temple have participated in every auction in the past, and many treasures have been bought at each auction," Su Ho said.
"Boom!" The gong was sounded, and the auctioneer walked up to the auction stage and said passionately: "On behalf of Zhaixinglou, I welcome everyone who comes to participate in this auction. I believe that this auction will definitely
You won’t be disappointed! Because we have prepared many rare treasures for this auction! Let’s start the auction of the first item!”
At this time, two beauties in provocative clothes walked onto the auction stage carrying something covered in red cloth.
Generally, the first item in an auction is the first item in the auction. It is naturally the most valuable item in the entire auction, and everyone looks forward to it.
"Today's first item is a first-class skill book, the Whirlwind Knife Technique!" Following the auctioneer's announcement, the red cloth was unveiled, and a gold-threaded hardcover secret book was placed underneath.
Immediately, everyone in the audience exclaimed. You must know that super-level skills are extremely difficult to obtain. Some families were even wiped out because of a copy of super-level skills.
The primary skills are suitable for beginners to practice in the realm of bone-forging and flesh-sculpting, and they can be practiced until the state of condensing true energy, while the advanced skills include the part of practicing to the peak state. As for the advanced skills, they are even rarer and can be grown.
As one's own cultivation improves, the skills will continue to develop. As for the top skills, they are mysterious and unpredictable skills.
However, except for some top big families who have one or two copies of advanced skills, most of them are treasures within the three religions, four sects and five sects, and are specially provided for disciples in the realm of mind and spirit to practice. Therefore, each sect will strictly limit advanced skills.
The leakage of the law. As for the top-level skills, generally every large sect will have one or two copies, which are used as treasures to protect the sect. The top-level skills can also be cultivated to become the spiritual power of the soul when the practitioner reaches the realm of supernatural powers.
Advanced skills are hard to find, so most people focus on super skills, and super skills can be practiced to the peak state. Those who have reached the peak state of cultivation in the world are people with extraordinary talents.
"The starting price of this Whirlwind Knife Technique is one million taels, and each bid increase must not be less than one hundred thousand taels. Let's start bidding now." Following the auctioneer's announcement, the sound of quotations immediately came from below.
"1500000!"
"One million six hundred thousand!"
Advanced skills can attract these family members, but have little appeal to sects. After all, any sect focuses on cultivating the state of mind, so advanced skills are what the sect really needs.
After this round of auctions, the Whirlwind Knife Technique was finally bought for a high price of five million.
"I didn't expect that a first-level skill could be auctioned for five million." Lu Sheng was secretly surprised!
The items to be auctioned next are all medicinal materials, collectibles, weapons, etc., such as five-hundred-year-old ginseng, thousand-year-old Polygonum multiflorum, a Xuanjin Pagoda, a Hanyue Sword, etc... The last thing that really caught everyone's attention was
As the final treasure, the last item will naturally exceed the price of every previous auction item.
Lu Sheng counted the banknotes in the brocade box. There were thirty million in total, which was indeed a very huge amount. It could basically exceed the entire property of a small family.
"Shown below is the last item of this auction, Flying Stone from Beyond the Sky!"
As soon as the auctioneer announced the flying rocks, the audience suddenly burst into thunderous cheers.
"It's really like flying rocks from the sky!"
"I've heard someone say that there will be flying rocks from the sky at today's auction, but it turns out it's true."
"The flying stone from the sky is a good thing. If you hand it over to any sect, you can even enter the sect and learn from it!"
Discussions arose one after another. The auctioneer seemed very satisfied with the atmosphere and happily waved his hand to signal the audience to quiet down.
"The starting price of Tianwai Flying Stone is six million taels, and each increase must not be less than one hundred thousand taels. Start bidding now!"
"Seven million!"
A cold voice came from the "Ren" room. As soon as Lu Sheng heard it, he knew that the person bidding was Qingyinzi.
The sudden increase in price by one million taels was indeed a big deal. The appearance of flying stones from the sky undoubtedly brought the atmosphere of the auction to its climax.
"Seven and a half million!" Lu Sheng shouted.
All the eyes of the audience immediately turned to the "Geng" private room on the second floor. They all knew that those who could be in the private room on the second floor were disciples of some sects. What the sect wanted to get was definitely not something they could interfere with.
of.
"Eight million taels!" There was a bidding voice coming from another private room.
"Ten million and a half million taels! This time I, the Emei Sect, really want to get this flying stone from the sky, so I ask all my colleagues to help me." Qingyinzi's voice swept across the audience, obviously with the slightest hint of demonstration.
"The Emei Sect has risen rapidly in the past ten years. It has won third place in the last two world martial arts competitions, second only to Dayu Temple and Kunlun Sect, and its arrogance is becoming more and more arrogant." Wei Donglai said.
.
"Twenty million!" Lu Sheng shouted out a price that shocked the whole audience, curled his lips, and said: "It is precisely because of the arrogance of the Emei sect that there are unreasonable disciples like Qingyinzi! Sooner or later, one day
The Emei faction will pay the price for this!"
"The final auction price of the flying stone at the last auction was twelve million taels. So this time Qingyinzi directly bid for fifteen million taels and reported his sect. Obviously he wanted to buy this piece at once.
There are flying stones from the sky. That sect that bid 20 million is a slap in the face of Qingyinzi. I wonder if Qingyinzi will continue to bid." There is a "D" sized room next to it.
, a young man with a gentle face and good looks said to the people around him.
"The Emei sect is getting more and more arrogant now. We in the Rashomon clan have endured all these years, but they have bullied us." The person next to the young man said.
These two people are Murong Hou and Xu Gu, disciples of Rashomon's physical realm. They are both at the peak level now and have half-stepped into the mind realm.
"Twenty-five million!" Qingyinzi's voice was obviously full of anger.
"Hmph! What I hate the most is this kind of self-righteous woman." Wei Donglai said, turning to Lu Sheng, and then said: "Brother Lu! I estimate that 25 million is her limit, so you can try with 100,000 taels more."
Test her bottom line!"
Lu Sheng nodded and shouted: "Twenty-five million one hundred thousand taels!"
"Huh! You're cruel!" Qingyinzi's voice came from the "Ren" font room. This is an advanced skill, a sound transmission technique. Qingyinzi's cultivation is really not simple!
Sure enough, 25 million was her bottom line. In the end, this flying stone was bought by the Wuyue Sword Sect for a high price of 25.1 million.
After the auction, Lu Sheng noticed that when the manager delivered the flying stones from outside the sky, there was obviously a strange look in his eyes.
No matter what, this time I finally bought the Flying Stone from Heaven. The Baishui River will be detrimental to me next, so I have no choice but to strike first. Lu Sheng began to make plans in his mind...
