Chapter 42: The Auction House
Tianxuan City was bustling with activity, with horses and carriages galloping by, especially around the streets of the city, which was also a gathering place for warriors.
Here is the translation:
In this place, not only can you find outer sect disciples of Tian Xuan Sect, but also inner core disciples and even powerful beings with transcendent status. It's a gathering place for many martial artists, where dragons and tigers lie hidden.
Zhou's Auction House, the only auction house in the city, monopolized all high-value transactions within Tianxuan City.
"Halt!" In front of the auction house, even the gatekeeper guards were all at the sixth level of the Refining Realm, showing just how deep and powerful the Zhou family's influence was.
"Show your identification!" the guard said.
"What proof?" Lin Yi frowned.
"It's a family token, a letter of introduction, an invitation... " The guard said with a serious face, "Others are not allowed to enter!"
It turns out that going to this auction house is such a hassle!
"I don't have it either!" Lin Yi said.
"Then get out!" The guard sneered.
Lin Yi clenched his fist and struck out violently, the sixth-level cultivator guard didn't even have time to react before being blasted flying out, a thread of blood spilling from his mouth.
"Is this proof enough?" Lin Yi asked coldly.
"... Dare to move, come on!" The guard angrily got up, and a group of guards also rushed over at the same time, with swords drawn!
"Everyone, retreat!" An old man walked out of the auction house and glared fiercely at the guard. He couldn't see through the strength of this golden masked person at all, and it was clear that he was an ultra-powerful expert!
This strong man cannot be blamed, and naturally will not be blamed.
"This gentleman, don't mind them, please come in!" The old man said with a smile.
This is still reasonable! Lin Yi walked into the auction house with a cold expression, and he also felt quite helpless. If he really started fighting, his puppet wouldn't be able to hold on for much longer. Just killing Wu San Tong and those people earlier had consumed half of his spiritual stones, and each punch he threw was like throwing away silver coins! It hurt his heart!
"Sir, please take out the items you want to auction!" The waiter said lazily, too lazy to give Lin Yi a second glance.
Lin easily took off the package from his body and threw it on the counter. The waiter opened it, but they were all stunned. Inside, there were dozens of beast cores, at least 40 to 50, and most of them were above level 5.
"Here's another one!" Lin Yi took out the Qi Condensing Pill.
"Qingqi Dan!" The waiter's expression was great, Qingqi Dan was a very precious thing, generally only the inner disciples of Tianxuan Sect could get it, and in auction houses, it would naturally be sold at a high price.
"Sir, please go to the auction hall and wait. We will arrange for you to bid immediately!" The waiter's attitude suddenly made a 180-degree turn, with a smile on his face.
Lin Yile got leisurely and came to a huge auction house, casually found a corner to sit down.
The auction hall was packed with people, every seat on the first floor was taken, and even the VIP seats on the second floor were almost fully occupied.
Hundreds of transactions are completed at this auction house every day!
In the mountain cave, Lin Yi's cultivation had reached a bottleneck. He forcibly absorbed spiritual energy, although it didn't have the abnormal efficiency of the Spiritual Field, he could control the spiritual energy more stably, allowing his body to gradually accept this extremely violent cultivation method.
Silence! Then erupt!
The change that had been accumulating in his body for ten days finally occurred, like a small hole that rapidly expanded to form a storm that swept across the land.
This storm originated from Lin Yi's chest, like a river flowing to all parts of the body, intertwining with each other, and spiritual energy crisscrossing, giving an extremely strange feeling.
Suddenly, it's about to break through!
Lin Yi's heart was filled with joy, and he continued to cultivate even more calmly, waiting for the final breakthrough to arrive, neither hastily nor slowly.
On the other hand, the auction house has already ended the bidding for five items.
"The next item up for auction, Beast Cores!" The auctioneer displayed the items, leaving everyone stunned. "There are thirty 5th-grade Beast Cores, twenty 6th-grade Beast Cores, and one 7th-grade Beast Core!"
Seventh-grade beast core! Obviously, the most valuable thing is this seventh-grade beast core!
"The final auction price is 500 silver coins!" the auctioneer shouted.
"Five hundred and one!"
"Five hundred and five!"
"Five hundred and eighty..."
Several dark shadows shouted prices to each other in the auction house, so many beast cores, obviously only alchemists need them, and alchemists are all wealthy masters. Lin Yi listened to the price on the side, already laughing with his mouth wide open.
"Six hundred silver coins!"
In the end, a pharmacist from a large family took down all the beast cores.
"Deal!"
"The next auction item is the Essence Gathering Pill!"
Now, the people in the auction house are a bit uncalm! Jingqi Dan, that's the breakthrough divine medicine that warriors dream of, and for Lianjing warriors, no price is too high.
"Indeed it's a Concentrated Spirit Pill!" The auctioneer displayed the item for sale, and the crowd erupted in a deafening explosion of sound.
"The starting price is 600 silver coins!" The auctioneer gives a low price.
"Seven hundred!" Immediately, someone directly added one hundred silver coins.
"It's all on the house!" Everyone was thrilled, and Lin Yi laughed with joy.
Among them, there was a middle-aged man wearing black clothes, who seemed to be in a must-win situation. Any price that came to him would directly increase by 100 silver coins, and he shouted three times!
Everyone is curious, who is this lavish person?
"He is the master of the Yang family, Yang Wentian!" Someone immediately gave out the answer.
"It's actually the Yang family, no wonder they're so rich!"
Lin Yi's face changed, carefully sizing up the black-clad man, who was actually the master of the Yang family, and also Yang Cheng's own father!
His face looked strange, and Lin Yi smiled wryly.
"1,200 silver coins!" The price was finally raised by Yang Wentian to a new height, and now, no one dared to bid again.
"Sold!" The auctioneer's hammer fell.
Lin Yi calculated his earnings and this time he directly gained two thousand silver coins, instantly transforming from a poor wretch to a small local tyrant.
"The next item up for auction is the finale of today's auction!" The auctioneer suddenly became excited, clearly this item was not ordinary, even this seasoned auctioneer who had seen it all, seemed a bit flustered.
Everyone held their breath in anticipation, Lin Yi was somewhat curious, just about to leave, also sat down.
The auctioneer displayed the item for sale in a transparent glass case, but it was just a piece of paper!
The auction item was actually just a piece of paper!
Is this funny?
Lin Yi's face changed greatly, his spiritual power probed and found a mysterious spiritual power on that ordinary yellow paper.
This is the first thing he has seen in this world that possesses spiritual power.
On the paper, there was a big black character, "Dao"!
This character is like a dragon and snake walking, elegant to the extreme, but if we talk about calligraphy, it's not enough to be considered unusual, how could it possibly be worth taking to an auction house!
"This is... a treasure!" Immediately, someone recognized it.
"What a treasure!" The auction house erupted in excitement, as if they had just spotted a golden treasure.
Treasures are special existences that can be passed down by using extremely strong spiritual power to imprint a certain heavenly way, and they can be a word, a poem, a painting, a sculpture... as long as the great ability is willing, treasures can be imprinted on any object.
The essence of a treasure is the combination of spiritual power and "Tao", which is extremely valuable, and those super treasures that have been passed down for hundreds of years are priceless, basically one piece can be sold for the annual income of a small country!
Many wealthy people like to collect treasures to show off their wealth and status, which makes the price of treasures even more astonishing.
In this auction house, this treasure is a "Dao" character, with an extremely weak spiritual power, it can only be considered as an ordinary treasure, but it's already enough to shock people!
Lin Yi gazed carefully, reading the large "Dao" character, and unexpectedly felt a flowing sensation, as if a river was flowing in front of him. Clearly, this was the treasure left by the master in this character - "Dao".
"The starting price is 10,000 silver coins!" The auctioneer shouted excitedly.
"Fifteen thousand!"
"Ten thousand eight!"
……
The price of this rare skill has skyrocketed to "30,000 silver coins!"
Lin Yi was stunned. This was too lucrative! A piece of paper, a single character, and it was auctioned off for 30,000 silver coins, with the price still skyrocketing in a bidding frenzy!
What is profiteering? This is profiteering!
Lin Yi seemed to have seen his own path to wealth, seeing countless silver coins beckoning him!
