"Shuguang Auction House" Ling Chen silently read the sign at the end of the stairs and stepped towards this antique second-floor auction house.
Holding the dark long sword tightly on his back, Ling Chen had just stepped onto the threshold of the second floor, and before he had time to look at the scene around the second floor. There was a mature and attractive maid in a cheongsam at the counter next to the stairs, twisting her plump body and facing her.
The graceful woman walked over; "Hello, senior, what services do you need? Are you here to bid for items or to entrust the auction?"
Ling Chen took a close look at this charming maid who was only in the spirit-gathering stage, then turned his gaze around the maid and looked at the densely packed seats behind her. The seats in this auction are not like those in Bluestone City that are in an oval shape.
They are arranged from bottom to top, but arranged straight like a long dragon.
At this time, only the two to three hundred seats in the front row were overcrowded, and only a few monks were sitting in the seats behind.
Looking at the small platform on the red carpet that is half way up from the front row of seats, an old man in gray clothes and two pretty maids standing beside him stood in the center of the red carpet. The old man loudly introduced the people in front of him to the trays of the two maids beside him.
There are rare treasures on the table, but the monk sitting in front of him is quiet and peaceful.
After the old man finished explaining in a loud voice, Ling Chen was surprised to find that the monks in the front row were holding up wooden signs that were shining with cyan light. The wooden signs were dark, but there was a cyan number engraved on the tip.
What purpose.
"Haha... It seems that it is the first time for seniors to come to the auction house in the City of Dawn. The sparkling tokens at one end, as long as the seniors inject a little spiritual power, will give out the numbers they want. And the steward in charge of this auction house
Usually, the senior with the highest spiritual stone among the wooden tablets will be chosen directly." Seeing the slightest doubt in Ling Chen's eyes, the maid couldn't help but explain.
Sweeping away the doubts in his mind, Ling Chen looked back at the smiling maid in front of him, and with a thought in his mind, he asked without leaving any trace; | "Can you still consign an auction here??|"
The maid replied respectfully;
"|The auction house with the best reputation in the City of Dawn is also the largest item auction house in the City of Dawn. It is mainly responsible for the auction of rare spiritual weapons and talismans, including high-quality talismans, precious mustard space items, and the cultivation experience of strong men in the dark world.
, rare treasures that are over a thousand years old, etc..."
"Oh, I have something that I want to identify for you."
"Oh, what is it that senior wants to appraise?" Seeing Ling Chen's hesitation, the mature maid continued: "We need to know the grade of the item provided by senior so that we can find a specialized appraiser to appraise it."
"Well, it's an unknown black token, but I don't plan to auction it. Can you help me identify it?" Ling Chen took out the black token from his storage bag.
Although Leng Lingyi and the others were promised to trade at the Laifu Inn tomorrow, since they came to the auction, Ling Chen was also full of curiosity about the black token. At this moment, he wanted to find out the true details of the black token. Otherwise, why?
Will Leng Lingyi and the others pay three hundred spirit stones to buy this unknown black token?
"Okay, senior, come to the lounge with me first. Wait a moment, and I'll ask the appraiser to come."
…………
After sitting quietly in the lounge for a while, Ling Chen was watching the auction scene below through the window of the lounge. Suddenly, the plump maid in front of the lounge door walked in with an old man about sixty years old with white hair.
As soon as the old man entered the lounge, he looked politely at Ling Chen who was sitting on the guest chair, and immediately said straight to the point: "Hello, fellow Taoist, I am the appraiser of this auction house. My surname is Liu. I am good at appraising monks in the mortal realm."
The spiritual weapons and weapons... Can you show me your token?"
"Oh, okay." After saying that, Ling Chen put the wooden sign on the table and handed it to the appraiser named Liu opposite.
"Huh? Shocking Soul Chasing Order?" Appraiser Liu just looked directly at the wooden sign on the table and said to himself in surprise.
Originally, it seemed that what Ling Chen took out should be an ordinary thing. Unexpectedly, he recognized the extraordinary quality of this quick token at first glance.
Seeing the doubts in Ling Chen's eyes, Appraiser Liu shook his head and kept staring at the black token in his hand. The more he looked at it, the more frightened he became, and his voice almost trembled as he said;
"In large sects in the black world and some ancient huge families, the number of disciples ranges from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands. From low-level disciples to outer sects, inner sects... or outer halls and inner halls... disciples
There are countless disciples, deacons and elders.
How to manage so many people?
Therefore, many big families adopt a unique symbol that can not only indicate their identity but also strictly separate their ranks, and that is the Fu Ling!
Therefore, many families have adopted the talisman hierarchy system!
Strictly speaking, this talisman cannot be regarded as a spiritual weapon. At most, it can only show the status of the holder.
However, the surface of the high-end talismans produced by large-scale sects is not only painted in red and green, but also forged from earth fire. The red ones are like jujubes and the green ones are emerald. They have a strong status symbol atmosphere.
Different sects have different talismans representing their identities. The compositions of some sects' talismans are mainly freehand brushwork, with figures, red and green flowers and birds, and common landscapes.
However, the talismans of most sects have one thing in common. The talisman representing identity is generally cast using a secret method specific to the sect. As a result, the outside world and most monks within the sect cannot know the casting method, so this
It is difficult for outsiders to imitate the same talisman as a sect and pretend to be a disciple within the sect.
There are also two types of talismans. One is a talisman that symbolizes friendship. It can be given to monks who have helped you, which represents friendship. The other is the original talisman. Once its owner dies or
If something unexpected happens, this command talisman will be shattered, and at the same time, another talisman connected to the sect will explode, so the disciples guarding the sect's talisman hall will report the situation and learn about the outgoing training.
Are my disciples safe or not?
This means that no matter which sect the talisman that represents the status is divided into high and low grades, the lower the talisman is, the cheaper it is, and vice versa, the more exquisite it is.
The friendship talisman that was collected in the City of Dawn and came from the elder of the Sky Splitting Sword Sect is one of the best. The unknown black talisman in front of me looks more delicate and has more detailed lines. Maybe its owner has gone through a battle before.
Fortunately, this talisman was made of unknown materials. It was not damaged and was extremely strong. There was a slight trace of blood on it, but this did not affect its value. It is estimated that the talisman's grade was similar to that of a deacon-level figure in the sect.
"
There was no damage, and there was no fluctuation of the natal aura, indicating that this was a friendship talisman. Generally, friendship talismans of sects are not that important, and they are not worthy of being collected by auction houses, but the appraiser named Liu was slightly surprised.
, the quick talisman in front of me turned out to be the unique Shocking Soul Chasing Order of the "Heaven Defying Lineage" that dominates the land.
The Heaven-defying Lineage, which is famous throughout the Magical Holy Realm, is one of the top ten families in the dark world. If you can collect the Soul-Chasing Soul-Shrilling Order of the "Day-Defying Lineage", you will have the power to be close to the top ten families.
How could the opportunity of close contact make the appraiser named Liu in front of him not be tempted?
"I don't know where your Jingfenghunchao Order came from. You must know that our City of Dawn is a regular auction house. Every item must be recorded in great detail with the owner, source, identity, estimated price and other information.
"
"Well, this... Shocking Soul Chasing Order was given to me by a friend. At first, that friend didn't say what it was, but since this thing is so precious, I kept it for myself." Ling Chen didn't expect it.
He still wanted to explain the source of the Soul-Recovering Order, but he had a thought in his mind and had no intention of auctioning this item. He had told the maid in advance about this, so it was not considered a temporary repentance——————
—————
"Oh, you don't plan to auction this Soul-Chasing Talisman? Our auction house promises that we can auction this Talisman to a price you are satisfied with. In addition, the additional cost of extraction can also be halved. Are you considering it?"
"Fellow Daoist Liu, to be honest, this talisman was given to me as a gift from my friend when he parted. I have been keeping it for some time, and I don't want to auction off my friend's affection." Ling Chen tactfully looked at the appraiser named Liu.
"Oh, that's okay. We can help you make an appraisal of this talisman." The appraiser surnamed Liu nodded. Although he also really wanted to get this ten family talisman that represents friendship, since this young man knows ten
For people from big families, the relationship between them will not be so simple. At the moment, appraiser Liu has no choice but to follow Ling Chen's wishes.
"By the way! Fellow Daoist Liu, if this talisman representing the friendship of the ten major families is auctioned, how many spiritual stones can be obtained?"
Since he agreed to sell this token to the three Leng Lingyi girls, Ling Chen is generally more responsible for what he says. However, the price still needs to be discussed, three hundred spirit stones? This kind of thing would make Ling Chen suffer a loss.
But I can't do it.
"It is conservatively estimated to be worth three thousand low-grade spiritual stones. If we put it up for auction, we might be able to fetch ten thousand low-grade spiritual stones." Appraiser Liu explained to Ling Chen while appraising the Shocking Soul Chasing Order.
"Oh, how long will it take to identify the talisman?" Ling Chen asked. He still wanted to go to the auction. He couldn't waste too much time on the identification talisman.
