Chapter 1081 Prelude to the auction, location of the black market auction
While using the Chamber of Commerce to confuse the public, it also made many unscrupulous cultivators and small forces more fearful.
In this way, the use of high-grade spiritual stones will not only become faster, but also much safer.
Ning Caiyun, who is quite business-minded, not only sells high-grade spiritual stones through the Chamber of Commerce, but also participates in the sale of other cultivation resources.
In a short time, it actually reached a certain scale and made a lot of money.
Throughout Sunset City, the premium for exchanging high-grade spiritual stones for low-grade spiritual stones has dropped significantly due to her operation.
The price premium for top-quality spiritual stones of the highest quality has suddenly dropped from the initial 30% to less than 25%.
Time flies, and three years have passed.
On this day, Sunset City's auction, which has been held for a hundred years, finally got underway.
One month before the auction started, there was an endless stream of monks coming to Sunset City, and most of them could only get in but not get out.
The Sunset City auction opens every hundred years. During this period, there will be a large number of powerful people in the Golden Core stage who are unable to go out in seclusion or go out to practice, and even giants in the Nascent Soul stage who will come to look for treasures to overcome the tribulation and key resources and materials needed for cultivation.
In addition to participating in key auctions, these monks who came here will inevitably conduct transactions in Sunset City.
Many Qi refining and foundation-building monks, and even some Golden Core monks with relatively ordinary cultivation and relatively poor financial resources, will have a large amount of natural materials and earthly treasures and cultivation resources that are not available on ordinary days, as these powerful monks trade.
Flow into the sunset city market.
Because of this, the opening of the auction, which is held only once in a century, has also become a rare event in Sunset City in a century.
Three days before the auction started, the number of monks in Sunset City reached its peak.
In the streets and alleys, no matter day or night, you can see all kinds of monks with different levels of cultivation walking around.
The nine major areas of Sunset City, including the central area where the auction is located, are bustling with people coming and going.
, so lively.
One after another, figures of Golden Core Stage and even Nascent Soul Stage monks appeared one after another, and each figure attracted attention.
However, the figures of several foundation-building monks mixed in from time to time caused many monks outside the venue to exclaim in surprise.
Being qualified to participate in the Sunset City auction means that these foundation-building monks are rich enough to surpass most golden elixir-level monks.
This makes countless foundation builders and even golden elixir monks who have missed the auction, how could they not feel envious.
But envy is envy. If you don’t have enough spiritual stone resources, you are naturally not qualified to participate.
Soon, figures walked into the auction venue one after another, which also symbolized that the auction held once in a century in Sunset City had officially begun.
At the same time, in the trading area in the most remote and deserted southwest corner of Sunset City.
A figure wearing a dark gray cloak and a dark gray gauze pocket was rushing towards the southwest corner of Sunset City in the opposite direction to the crowd.
This person is none other than Su Twelve who came from the Yinfeng Mansion.
Although the three years of seclusion and cultivation were short, the terrifying spiritual energy contained in the heaven-level cave, plus a large amount of cultivation resources, and even the blessing of first-grade spiritual veins.
It still allowed Su Twelve to improve his cultivation a lot.
When he first arrived in Sunset City, Su Twelve's cultivation level had just broken through to the Golden Elixir stage and reached the Great Consummation stage, and was not yet completely stable.
At this moment, a mouthful of pure elixir was flowing melodiously in the dantian.
The stable aura seems to have been in the golden elixir stage for decades.
Su Twelve had a calm demeanor, and his body was moving around the streets and alleys, moving quickly.
, but there was no disorder in breathing.
There were fewer and fewer monks around him, and Su Twelve gradually slowed down.
Not long after, they arrived at the southwest corner of Sunset City, near an inconspicuous courtyard.
Holding the black market auction certificate in hand, Su Twelve squinted his eyes and penetrated it with his true energy consciousness. From it, he could clearly feel that there was a miniature formation with a very special structure circulating inside.
"Judging from the information transmitted by the black market auction evidence formation, this place... should undoubtedly be the location of the black market auction."
"This place does look inconspicuous at all. No wonder it can be used to deceive others."
"It's just...how many people can a place of this size accommodate for an auction?"
"Is it because the number of monks participating in the black market auction is already very small?"
"Or...is there something else going on in the courtyard?"
Su Twelve crossed his arms across his chest, quietly concentrating his breath and consciousness.
Standing in a hidden corner in the distance, he looked at the courtyard in sight from a distance, but did not rush forward in a hurry.
Black market auctions are conducted privately and are not tolerated by most monks, or in other words, by Sunset City.
Compared to Sunset City, it is difficult to guarantee the safety of such a place without the constraints of superficial rules.
Su Twelve always acted cautiously, and at times like this, there was no reason to let down his guard.
People were in the dark, squatting silently and watching.
There was no trace of anyone in sight for a long time. Su Twelve was always calm and showed great patience.
It took a long time until night fell, and even the entire Sunset City became dim.
In the streets and alleys, figures appeared one after another just now.
Those figures were either wrapped tightly, or even though they showed their appearance, they were obviously disguised.
There are men and women, old and young, good and evil!
Most of the cultivators are monks at the Golden Core stage, but there are also great masters at the Nascent Soul stage.
As soon as they entered the courtyard, they saw the main door of the courtyard open and a white-haired old man appeared.
After some communication between the two parties, they were received by the other party and entered the house.
However, although the courtyard is ordinary, there is a soundproof array operating.
No matter how focused Su Twelve was, he couldn't hear what the other party was communicating with.
In addition, most of the visitors used various means to conceal their true appearance, and it was impossible to make further judgments based on the changes in the expressions of both parties.
Regarding this, he could only sigh helplessly in his heart.
At the same time, I knew very clearly that if this were not the case, the formation in this courtyard might not be just a simple soundproof formation.
In most cases, the monks who came to participate in the auction appeared one after another.
Even if they meet occasionally, they just look at each other warily.
From the beginning to the end, there was no communication between each other, and everyone was very wary.
Su Twelve squatted for two days and two nights.
Seeing the figures entering one after another and then disappearing, Su Twelve remained unmoved at all.
It wasn't until less than an hour before the auction started and no other people were seen around that he raised his hand to support his chin and walked out of the darkness with a thoughtful look on his face.
"This courtyard really has a hidden secret."
"Such a large courtyard has only seven or eight rooms. No matter how you look at it...it doesn't look like it can accommodate thousands of people!"
