Seeing the people around him gradually dispersing, Lin Jin came back to his senses, turned around and said to the female disciple sheepishly: "I'm really sorry, then...is this alchemy cauldron still for sale?"
The female disciple nodded slightly and said, "I'll sell it of course. This Yang-Shattering Cauldron is a top-grade spiritual weapon, with twenty middle-grade spiritual stones."
This made Lin Jin slightly shocked. My dear, I didn't expect that these auxiliary treasures for alchemy would be so expensive to trade. Forget it, I bought it this time and refine it myself next time.
Without any intention of bargaining, Lin Jin directly took out twenty middle-grade spiritual stones and handed them over.
After placing the Broken Yang Cauldron and preparing to leave, the female disciple unexpectedly whispered: "You still have to be careful, Niu Jinshan might not let it go."
Lin Jin knew her good intentions, nodded to her and blended into the crowd.
At about noon, Lin Jin arrived at the top of the main peak of Mingtian Peak. There were no groups of street stalls or noisy hawkers on the top of the peak. There was only a magnificent hall, resplendent with gold and jade, and nail-headed phosphorus.
Because there are basically no trees blocking the peak, strong winds pass by, making people feel that this hall has a majestic and majestic atmosphere that can remain stable despite the wind and rain.
At this time, many people were coming towards the peak one after another. Lin Jin stopped one person to get to know them a little bit.
It turns out that the last day of this fair is the climax of the transaction, and the auction of the treasures will begin soon!
Since the main hall has not yet opened, all those waiting to enter the main hall to compete for treasures can only wait outside. However, there are also some sect elders who will be brought into the main hall by disciples wearing Jiantian Pavilion clothes.
"Hey, I said don't look at it. It's always the same. Those elders are related to the people inside the auction. Let's wait honestly."
The words of a dark-faced man brought Lin Jin back from his thoughts.
He turned around and looked at the dark-faced man next to him, only to find that he was sitting on the ground with his eyes closed and concentrating. He should have communicated with Lin Jin through his spiritual consciousness just now.
Lin Jin knew this, so he meditated on the spot and breathed out the spiritual energy.
An hour later, the red door of the main hall opened with a creak.
A disciple of Jiantian Pavilion came out and called all the waiting people in. Lin Jin glanced at the black-faced man and walked in when he saw no response.
After everyone entered the hall, they discovered that the interior of the hall was originally a maze-like passage. There were about ten passages in front of everyone, and at each passage there was a disciple of Jiantian Pavilion waiting there.
Seeing everyone coming in, each disciple of Jiantian Pavilion led the treasure hunters in that direction into the passage.
Lin Jin followed the disciple at the third entrance into the passage. When he came to the end of the passage, small rooms appeared in front of him in a ring shape.
"Everyone, please make preparations in the room. The auction will officially begin later." After saying that, the disciple left.
Then an older man walked into the room first, followed by Lin Jin and five others. As soon as they entered the room, they rested on the chairs, as if they were already very experienced.
Only Lin Jin, like a novice, began to carefully observe the things around him.
The other side of the room is open to the outside. From the outside, it looks like a grid of corridors.
The space on the other side of the room is a circular space, surrounded by grid rooms, and in the middle is a high platform, which should be where the auctioneer auctions treasures.
"Boy, looking at you, it must be your first time participating in a treasure hunt, right?" The old man looked at Lin Jin and smiled slightly.
"The senior should be a veteran of gambling. Can you explain the junior's doubts?"
"Haha, no need to explain. The auction has started. Take a good look at it yourself."
The old man pursed his lips, signaling the official start of Lin Jin's auction.
At this time, a beautiful woman with a graceful figure and enchanting figure was already standing on the high platform outside the grid room. She was dressed in a palace dress as dark red as blood, which made her beauty even more beautiful.
"Today, many sect elders and elites from all walks of life are here to support me. On behalf of the General Forum of the Dongyue Branch of Jiantian Pavilion, I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to you all."
In the room, Lin Jin saw the old man looking at the auctioneer intently, and asked with some embarrassment: "Senior, why is Jiantian Pavilion only a Dongyue branch? Does Jiantian Pavilion have a very large scope of influence?"
The old man quickly put away his eyes that were about to bulge, and explained seriously: "This is natural. Jiantian Pavilion is the most powerful player among the treasure competing forces on Tianshu Continent. It has branches in four regions.
The strength of the masters can also be ranked among some of the best."
"It's just that this kind of small-scale treasure auction can only attract some people from small forces. Generally speaking, big people won't come, and naturally there won't be anything extremely precious to trade. I'll do it.
I’m just joining in the fun, if there are some good things you can bid on them.”
After Lin Jin understood it, he once again set his sights on the central high platform. At this time, the auctioneer skipped the polite words and had already begun to auction the first treasure.
"The middle-grade soul weapon Demon Refining Furnace. Although this treasure is called Demon Refining Furnace, it is only an alchemy furnace used for alchemy. It also belongs to the category of alchemy cauldron. The starting price is ninety middle-grade spiritual stones."
It didn't take long for someone to start talking about it.
"The starting price for a mid-grade Horcrux-level broken pill cauldron is ninety pieces. Isn't this too much?"
"The starting price of ninety mid-grade spiritual stones is indeed a bit too much."
"..."
Unexpectedly, a cold snort suddenly came from a grid room, and then a magnetic male voice came from it.
"A bunch of idiots who only know how to practice, the starting price of ninety mid-grade spiritual stones is too low!"
Some people who had originally complained were about to retort, but unexpectedly, the auctioneer on the high platform pursed his lips and chuckled and said: "You don't have to talk like this... Then let me talk about it as a little girl."
"Cultivation along the way can change one's destiny against the will of heaven. Many monks do not take the ordinary path. Those who enter the Tao through elixirs, those who use utensils to enter the Tao, those who use ** to enter the Tao, etc. are all ways to achieve great success in cultivation."
"Of course, using elixirs to enter Taoism is also an important way to cultivate and enter Taoism, and the value of the elixir cauldron related to it will naturally increase as the tide goes up."
"In particular, the alchemy cauldron is not as easy to refine as ordinary magic weapons, and the number of refinements is also very small compared to the magic weapons. I think you know what I mean."
After saying these words, those who were not optimistic about the alchemy cauldron were a little embarrassed. Their complaints just now clearly let others know their ignorance.
At this time, the mysterious man who originally lectured those people in the grid room spoke again: "Huh, short-sighted, okay, I won't talk nonsense. Who wants to compete with me for a hundred middle-grade spiritual stones?"
The auctioneer on the high platform frowned. The man's shouting might have stopped the Demon Refining Furnace that could have raised the price. He stared at the grid room where the mysterious man was and said calmly.
: "You are so courageous, but if no one follows the price, it will damage the value of this treasure."
"Haha, yes, as long as someone can raise the price for ten or more medium-grade spiritual stones higher than mine, I will bear the pain and give up."
The mysterious man spoke again, causing many sect elites or elders to doubt his identity.
And because of these suspicions, no one followed suit and raised the price. For a while, the auction was in a cold start just after it started.
