Hua Taisui glared at Li Tianqi: "You are a grown man, why are you so timid..."
"It's not that I'm timid, I always feel like there's something fishy about this place..." Li Tianqi tilted his mouth.
Hua Taisui opened his mouth, and just as he was about to speak, he heard a "click, click, click..." sound. He looked up and found that the stone door on the opposite side had slowly opened. A beam of light came out from the stone door, instantly lighting up the whole place.
The stone platform shines extremely brightly.
"Two distinguished guests, please come in." A woman's voice came from the stone door.
Li Tianqi took a closer look and found that there was a passage inside the stone gate. The passage was very wide. It was estimated that five or six people could walk side by side. At this time, there was a stone table placed in the middle of the passage, behind the stone gate. Sitting behind the stone table
There is a woman wearing a pink dress with a level of cultivation. This woman looks very coquettish. She should be around thirty years old. However, this cannot be taken seriously. People who cultivate themselves are good at maintaining their appearance.
Even though this charming woman looks thirty years old, she might actually be a hundred years old.
"Who are you?" Hua Taisui asked the woman.
"I am responsible for receiving distinguished guests." The woman did not stand up from the beginning to the end, but looked at Hua Taisui and Li Tianqi with a smile: "Welcome the two distinguished guests to participate in the auction we are holding, and I wish you all the best.
Distinguished guests can buy the things they like..." At this point, the woman picked up two wooden signs from the stone table: "These are your identity tags. Please be sure to keep them until the auction is over.
, you two just need to return your identity tag to me, and you can leave. Remember, be sure not to lose your identity tag, otherwise it will be very troublesome."
"You have so many rules here." Hua Taisui muttered in a low voice, walked over and took the ID card from the woman's hand. Hua Taisui took a look and found that they were just two ordinary pieces of wood, with the words "
There were two numbers, one was nineteen and the other was twenty. Hua Taisui threw the wood chip with the number twenty on it to Li Tianqi, while he kept the wood chip with the number nineteen.
Li Tianqi took one look and put the wood pieces away.
"Two distinguished guests, do you want to go in like this, or do you need to cover your appearance?" the woman asked with a smile.
"What do you mean? I don't understand!" Hua Taisui frowned.
Li Tianqi also looked puzzled.
"Oh, it's like this." The woman explained: "When guests bid for treasures, collisions and conflicts will inevitably occur. Some people are narrow-minded and love to hold grudges. After the auction is over, there is a high possibility that they will
To carry out retaliatory actions, in order to ensure the safety of our guests, we made some clothes that hide your appearance and aura. As long as your guests wear these clothes, others will not recognize your appearance. Even if they want to seek revenge from you afterwards, they will not be able to do so.
Don’t know who you are.”
"You are quite thoughtful." Hua Taisui praised.
"Hide your appearance is the guest's freedom. If you two don't want to hide your appearance, we won't force you..." the woman smiled.
"Why not hide it? We are also afraid of being retaliated against!" Hua Taisui waved his hand.
Li Tianqi nodded: "It's good to be able to hide your appearance. This will save you a lot of worries when bidding."
"In that case, the two of you will pay one hundred mid-level spirit stones." The woman stretched out her hand, and two sets of black, thin clothes appeared on the stone table: "After paying the spirit stones, these two sets of clothes
You can take it away."
"What? Do you still need to pay for spiritual stones?" Hua Taisui frowned.
The woman nodded: "Yes, we spent a lot of money refining these clothes, so we have to charge some costs..."
"Two pieces of clothing are sold for 100 yuan of mid-level spirit stones, aren't you too dark?" Hua Taisui snorted.
The woman smiled: "You misunderstood, it's not selling, it's renting."
"Rent?" Hua Taisui raised his eyebrows: "What do you mean?"
"These two clothes are not sold to you, but rented to you. The rent is fifty yuan of mid-level spiritual stones per person." The woman explained.
"Why don't you go and rob!" Hua Taisui was furious: "You can only rent two pieces of rags for one hundred mid-level spiritual stones. You guys are too evil!"
Li Tianqi's face also looked a little ugly.
"Dear guests, please don't be angry. As I said just now, it's up to you whether to rent the clothes or not. If you think the price is expensive, then you don't need to rent the clothes. Just go in and participate in the auction." The woman said with a smile.
"Without these clothes, how can we hide our appearance?" Hua Taisui asked.
The woman spread her hands helplessly: "If you are reluctant to part with the spirit stone, you can only participate in the auction with your true appearance... As for whether you will encounter revenge from others afterwards, it depends on your luck..."
"You..." Hua Taisui's face turned blue with anger. At this moment, he had the urge to rush up and slap the woman wildly.
Li Tianqi pulled Hua Taisui's arm: "Forget it, let's admit defeat." As he spoke, Li Tianqi took out a hundred mid-level spiritual stones and placed them on the table.
"Do you really want to rent these clothes?" Hua Taisui glared at Li Tianqi.
"Do we really have to go to the auction with our true colors?" Li Tianqi pouted: "Okay, let's just spend money to ward off disasters. Don't waste time, put it on quickly." Li Tianqi threw the smaller clothes to
After getting married, she put on bigger clothes.
Hua Taisui curled his lips in frustration and finally put on his clothes.
Although the rent is a bit expensive, the effect is not bad. After putting on the clothes, Li Tianqi felt that his figure seemed to have shrunk, and his appearance was obscured by a black mist. Li Tianqi turned to look at Hua Taisui,
I found that Hua Taisui was in a similar situation to myself.
"Okay, now you two can go in and participate in the auction." The woman reached out and pressed lightly on the stone table. A gap suddenly opened in the stone wall on the left side of the passage, and then a petite girl walked out of it.
The girl bowed to Hua Taisui and Li Tianqi: "You two distinguished guests, please follow me." After saying that, the girl turned around and walked towards the depths of the passage.
Li Tianqi and Hua Taisui looked at each other, then followed the girl's footsteps and left.
After walking about dozens of feet, the girl stopped, then stretched out her hand to push open a stone door in front, and then made an invitation gesture to Li Tianqi and Hua Taisui: "The auction will be held inside, two customers go in."
After that, please take your seat according to the number on the ID badge."
After Li Tianqi and Hua Taisui walked into the stone door, they found that there was a spacious stone hall inside. Several rows of chairs were placed in the middle of the stone hall. Each chair was separated by a distance of about ten feet. At this time, it was already
Two-thirds of the chairs have owners, and these people basically wear clothes that hide their appearance. There is a circular stone platform directly in front of the hall, and there is only a stone table placed on the stone platform.
Li Tianqi glanced around and found that almost all the people present were in the Foundation Establishment stage. Li Tianqi nodded secretly. It seemed that this auction should be held specifically for Foundation Establishment stage monks.
Hua Taisui reached out and touched Li Tianqi, then pointed to the rows of chairs in the middle of the stone hall: "Look, there are numbers engraved on the backs of the chairs."
Li Tianqi looked in the direction Hua Taisui pointed, and sure enough he saw numbers engraved on the backs of many chairs: "My number is twenty, your number is nineteen... Let's go, our seats are over there."
"Li Tianqi found his seat based on the number on his ID badge.
Hua Taisui's seat and Li Tianqi's seat were right next to each other, with a small path between them.
In the following time, more than ten people walked in one after another. After entering the hall, these people all found their own seats according to the numbers on their ID badges.
At this moment, the seats in the hall are basically full.
"Why hasn't the auction started yet?" Hua Taisui was a little upset as he waited: "I will never attend auctions again. I'm so annoying."
"Don't be impatient. It's probably because everyone hasn't arrived yet." Li Tianqi advised softly.
"How long do we have to wait!" Hua Taisui sounded very dissatisfied.
"It should be soon." Li Tianqi glanced around and found that the chairs around him were almost full.
Just when Hua Taisui was fuming, a red-faced old man led a group of girls into the hall. As soon as he entered the hall, the old man raised his hands to everyone present: "Oh, I'm sorry to keep you waiting for so long!"
As he spoke, the old man walked directly onto the stone platform in front of the hall, and then said loudly: "Let me introduce myself: My name is Haifu. I will host the auction today. Let me tell you about the auction."
I hope everyone will pay attention to the rules... First of all, when auctioning items, everyone must not fight, otherwise they will all be kicked out. Secondly, when everyone bids, it is best to come one by one and do not fight. Also,
The items I auction all appear in order of rarity. For example, the second item is rarer and more valuable than the first item, the third item is better than the second item, and so on... So, everyone
At the beginning, don’t be too anxious about competing, and save more energy to compete for later items..."
When Haifu explained the rules of the auction, no one spoke at the scene. They all sat in their respective positions and listened quietly. Even Hua Taisui became more honest. It was not that Hua Taisui and others were enlightened, but
He was shocked by Haifu's cultivation.
That's right, Haifu is a real late-stage Jindan monk. Among the people present, no one has a higher cultivation level than Haifu. It is precisely because of Haifu's advanced cultivation level that he intimidated these bidders.
Hai Fu spoke for a long time before stopping, and then asked everyone in the audience: "Did everyone hear clearly what I just said?"
"I heard you clearly." Someone responded.
Haifu nodded: "Okay, the auction will officially begin!" After saying that, Haifu took out a small and exquisite storage bag from his sleeve. With a slight shake, ten finely crafted items flew out of the storage bag.
wooden boxes, these wooden boxes are arranged one by one on the stone table in order.
