"That's pretty much it." Yang Di thought for a while and found it acceptable. Listening to what the swordsman said before, he seemed to really need this now.
"Okay, now, please, please wipe off all the death seals on the dragon bones for me."
After the discussion was settled, the old man's face began to twitch again, because he returned to the issue that almost caused the two of them to break up.
It pains the old man to sacrifice his sternum and back bones.
However, after the old man took out a Sumeru bag and handed it over, Yang Di's face turned dark instantly, and he said with great disdain: "The old man is really good at deceiving you. He clearly has dozens of Yinglong bones, but he just said he only had two."
"Haha." The old man smiled.
Later, Yang Di was not polite, and under the guidance of Yi Qilu Ancestor, he first retracted Yinglong's sternum and back bones.
For the next whole night, Yang Di was playing with fire for this huge scam, and it wasn't until dawn that he completely wiped away the death seal and dust from the large bag of dragon bones.
At noon, after packing up his things, Yang Di took the girl and the others out to participate in the big auction at the trading event.
Jiang Tingting and Jiang Huangfei, the elders, also went out together. Naturally, they would not miss this kind of event.
Soon, old man Wei Zhongtian, who ran from the ruins, caught up with him. Because he wanted to cooperate with someone to bid for that ancient stone, of course he went together.
"Someone is going to go later. I'm afraid even an empty offer can be used as a bargaining chip. Remember to do a favor for me when necessary." Jiang Tingting teased with a smile, but at the same time, she was obviously a little serious.
This time she also has something she is determined to get. Although the Jiang family has prepared sufficient chips for it, it is hard to say how high the final price will be in the auction.
Fortunately, there is a rich man among them. With his identity as an alchemist, even an empty promise can be used as a bargaining chip. Someone will definitely admit it and need that kind of promise.
If it were other people, even the important disciples of the ancient cultivating family, or the most powerful people from all walks of life, they would not be treated like this.
"I have a lot of things to buy today, and I am under a lot of pressure." Yang Di complained incessantly. It is not easy to be a rich man.
Even if there is no Soul Cultivation Technique this time, he will still try his best to fight for the precious blood of the exotic beasts and some extremely rare elixirs and precious medicines that are put on the auction block.
Now that he has agreed to join in the fight for the Taikoo Stone, even though he has been preparing for such a long time, he still feels that it is not safe and he is worried that he will lose sight of the other.
"Fellow Taoist, there is no need to worry. What Tingting said is true. With your current status, even if you make empty bids, you can still negotiate a deal with the other party." Elder Jiang Huangfei said with a smile.
According to the clues they got, some of the people who walked up to the auction stage later were actually selling their treasures for a certain kind of elixir.
Obviously only this young man could satisfy that kind of demand. The reason why he didn't come to the inn for a one-on-one discussion was because he wanted to take advantage of the atmosphere of the auction to increase the value of the baby.
In the central area of Black Dragon City, there is an empty ancient square with mottled bluestone floors, already full of vicissitudes of time.
It's not yet noon, but the square is already overcrowded. Monks from all directions, as well as all kinds of people from Black Dragon City, are gathered here.
This kind of big auction happens every three months, but because the Dao Fighting Conference is approaching, this time it is particularly lively.
After Yang Di and the others came over, they randomly found a seat near the front and waited quietly.
But Yang Di soon discovered that there was indeed a very tall stone platform in the center of the square, but it seemed that no one was hosting it.
"Is there no organizer?" Feng Wu was also very curious. There are also auction houses that auction antiques and treasures, but they all have professional auctioneers and organizations.
"Everything is auctioned by oneself. However, in order to avoid confusion, those who want to auction things must draw ranked lots according to the consensus reached by all parties a long time ago." Jiang Tingting nodded with a chuckle.
"Where to smoke?" Yang Di asked quickly.
"Here, have you seen the big bamboo tube held by the fat-bellied businessman? Inside is the sorting number. He is a member of the Hong family, an aboriginal resident. The Hong family has always been entrusted with the responsibility of this matter." Jiang Tingting
Pointing to the intersection on one side, there is indeed a fat man there, holding a bamboo tube and handing out bamboo sticks to those who come forward to ask for them.
"Girl, go get one." Yang Di greeted with a smile.
"Oh." Ning Yunzhu nodded with a smile and ran towards the fat man.
"You also have something to auction?" Jiang Tingting was curious.
"Of course." Yang Di smiled mysteriously.
Soon, Ning Yunzhu came back, handed the bamboo stick to someone, and said with a small mouth: "The fat man warned that you cannot go on stage to auction treasures worth less than three hundred fourth-level elixirs, otherwise it will be considered a violation.
Punished with twenty fourth-level elixirs."
"Is there such a rule?" Yang Di was surprised. The threshold is quite high. The value of three hundred fourth-level elixirs is really quite high.
"Of course, with so many people coming, we can't bring everything on stage. Treasures worth less than that level can be sold directly at the market or in a store." Jiang Tingting said with a smile.
"Yeah, that's true." Yang Di nodded and looked around, seeing that there were indeed a sea of people.
Opening the bamboo stick, Yang Di saw a number of 221. He was speechless and teased the crazy girl: "Girl, your luck is really average."
"Everything is not going well today." Ning Yunzhu puffed up her cheeks. She had also seen the ranking, and it was indeed very far back.
Jiang Tingting glanced at it and said with a smile: "Usually at a large auction, there will be more than 100 people on stage, but today it is estimated that there will be more than 400 people, so it's just average."
If it weren't for the high threshold, there would probably be even more people on stage.
"No. 1 is ready to go on stage!"
While he was talking, the middle-aged fat man had already run to the foot of the high platform and shouted loudly. He stood there and was regarded as the master of ceremonies at the scene, maintaining basic order.
"This person's name is Hong Liang. He is also an important figure in the Hong family of Black Dragon City. The Hong family is the largest merchant in Black Dragon City and is very influential locally. In addition, his background is also quite good." Jiang Tingting introduced.
"Oh." Yang Di touched his nose. The night he first arrived, he seemed to have received an invitation from the Hong family, but he ignored it.
At that time, there were many forces in the city who invited him to have a banquet. Because they found it troublesome and at the same time unable to distinguish between friends and foes, Yang Di ignored them all...
Soon, a young man walked up to the high platform in a swagger, holding a wooden box in his hand. After standing at the highest point, he opened the wooden box and found three herbal elixirs sealed inside.
"This is the Seven-leaf Fire Cloud Grass, Magnolia Zhi, and Fennel Jade Flower. They are all genuine first-class elixirs. Various chips can be accepted. The starting price is six hundred plants of the fourth-class elixir. If you are interested, please bid!"
After showing it in a circle, the young man laughed loudly.
