C62 Ancient Wind Auction
After expending a great deal of effort, he finally managed to awaken Lin Yu.
After waking Lin Yu up, Qin Shi pulled him to participate in the Ancient Wind Auction House.
The Gu Feng Auction House was located in the center of the ancient city, and its size was extremely large.
The annual Ancient Wind Auction had caused quite a stir in the ancient city. Thus, early in the morning, this place was already packed with people. The traffic was heavy, and all the large and small forces had come to hear of it.
"How spectacular …"
In the Wasteland Town, Qin Shi had never participated in an auction before. Looking at the spectacular scene before him, he couldn't help but feel excited.
Of course, Lin Yu only shrugged his shoulders and absent-mindedly said, "Indeed. Although the scale is a bit small, for a lowly city like the ancient city, to have such a level of auction house is already quite good."
"It hurts to stand and talk!"
Qin Shi rolled his eyes and could not be bothered with Lin Yu. He turned around and was about to enter the auction house.
However, just as the two walked in front of them, they were stopped by a young girl. The young lady was dressed in the attire of a host, and said respectfully: "Are the two of you here to participate in our Ancient Wind Auction? Please show your membership cards, I'll arrange seats for you. "
"Beauty?"
Seeing the young girl, Lin Yu was so excited that he wanted to pounce on her.
Qin Shixin had already expected this to happen, so she raised her hand in preparation. After sending Lin Yu off, she awkwardly said, "Beautiful lady, I'm sorry. We don't have any membership cards."
"Oh? No membership card? "
Hearing this, the girl frowned as her eyes revealed a hint of disdain. Her tone turned cold as she said, "If you aren't a member, if you want to participate in the auction, each person has to pay a hundred low-grade spirit stones!"
"A hundred low-grade spirit stones?"
The corners of Qin Shi's eyes twitched as he said furiously, "You want a hundred times more spirit stones just to enter? I say, big sister, why don't you just snatch it away? "
"Apologies, this is the rule of our Gu Feng Auction House. If you two can't produce 100 spirit stones, then you can only stay outside." The young girl glanced at Qin Shi as if she was looking at a beggar.
Qin Shi felt extremely displeased with the disdain in the young girl's eyes.
Therefore, he gritted his teeth and took out 200 spirit stones from his bosom. He thought to himself, "Humph, this big city is really dark enough. If it wasn't for Sister Yu, I wouldn't even want to go into it even if I had to post it for myself."
"I'll give you the spirit stones. Bring us in!"
Seeing the spirit stones, the young lady was taken aback. However, she did not waste her breath as she turned around and led the two into the auction house, "Come with me, this is your number. I will arrange seats for the two of you."
It had to be said that the auction house was shockingly large. It was enough to hold at least three thousand people. At the center of the auction house was an auction stage, and around it were ring-shaped seats, a total of fifty rows.
Qin Shi and Lin Yu were arranged to sit on the forty-fifth row.
With regards to this point, Qin Shi felt extremely dissatisfied. He looked at the several distinguished seats in front of him and cursed, "Why? A hundred spirit stones is only enough for this young master to sit in the back? At least let this young master sit in the top three rows, right? "
"Chi chi, the first three rows?"
However, at this time, an old man with disheveled hair and a dirty face, who was beside Qin Shi and Lin Yu, rolled his eyes and coldly laughed, "Little fellow, don't be arrogant! The first three rows are not something you can sit on. The people who are sitting there are all reputable big shots of the ancient city! "
"Hey geezer, who are you? "Your act is quite clear." Qin Shi glanced at it and shrugged, "In the end, isn't he also sitting at the 40th row like us?"
"…"
The old man's face turned green as he coughed dryly, "That is because I do not wish to sit!"
"Bullshit, who wouldn't know how to?" This young master was even willing to sit down! " Qin Shi didn't think much of this strange old man. He joked in an uninhibited manner, "Old man, if you can sit in the front three rows, do you believe that I can sit on the stage?"
However, at this moment, Lin Yu narrowed his eyes in a rather serious manner.
He sized up the old man and pulled Qin Shi down with all his might. "Shitou, this old man is not simple. I can't even see through his strength. Be careful."
"Eh, good talent!" When he saw Lin Yu, the old man suddenly licked his chapped lips and thought to himself, "This child is extraordinary. He has the strength of the Spirit Sealing Realm at such a young age and is also extremely calm. If …"
Unexpectedly, before the old man could finish speaking, the auction had already begun.
At the beginning, a beautiful lady walked up to the stage. This woman was dressed simply, but her entire body revealed a noble aura. She wore a red, close-fitting cheongsam that accentuated her curves.
This woman was a genuine beauty of Jiangnan. She had willow shaped eyebrows, red phoenix eyes, cherry lips, and a oval face. She possessed a beauty that could topple cities and topple nations.
It caused everyone's hearts to tremble.
Towards the infatuated Lin Yu, how could he possibly have any ability to resist a goddess like this? He tossed the old man to the back of his mind, his eyes almost popping out of their sockets. "Exquisite!"
"…"
The old man had originally been praising Lin Yu for his calm character, but in the end, Lin Yu had been smacking his face and showing such a smug look. The corners of the old man's eyes twitched a few times. "Could … could it be that this old man was mistaken?"
"Look, it's Tan Xuehui, the number one beauty of the ancient city."
"To think that she would be hosting this year's Ancient Wind Auction."
"Isn't it so? We're really lucky this time."
Seeing the lady on the stage, the crowd below immediately cheered. Especially those bachelors, all of them stood up and applauded Tan Xuehui.
"Hello everyone, I am honored to be the host of the annual Ancient City's Ancient Wind Auction this time!" Tan Xuehui stood on the stage in a natural manner and confidently said, "Next is the old rules. Let us both take a look at the first item to be auctioned!"
"High-grade spirit weapon, Dragon Slaying Halberd!"
It was a high-grade spirit weapon from the beginning, and the atmosphere instantly exploded out.
"As expected of the ancient city, a high grade spirit weapon appeared at the very beginning!" Seeing the sharp Dragon Slaying Halberd, Qin Shi secretly praised it in his heart. But from beginning to end. He didn't even open his mouth to bid, but just silently watched.
After all, his financial resources were limited. Thousands of low-grade spirit stones and two hundred mid-grade spirit stones. If these wealth were placed in Wasteland Town, perhaps it would be a huge mountain of gold.
In the end, this Dragon Slaying Halberd was won by three hundred mid-grade spirit stones.
With regards to this point, Qin Shi felt embarrassed in his heart. He thought to himself, "The people of this ancient city are truly rich. Three hundred Medial Grade Spirit Stones is equivalent to thirty thousand low-grade Spirit Stones."
After the Dragon Slaying Halberd, there weren't any other eye-catching treasures. Most of them were ordinary spiritual herbs, low-grade or medium-grade spiritual tools. In the ancient city, these things weren't worth them going crazy over.
"Next, the Life Spirit Mountain tea."
"Impregnable Spirit Mountain Tea, a Tier 2 spiritual herb. It has the miraculous ability of healing souls. The starting price is five hundred low-rank soul stones!" Tan Xuehui, who was on the stage, took out a spirit plant that was glowing with a faint white light and shouted to the people below the stage.
The opportunity had arrived. Qin Shi's eyes lit up.
"Stone, help me get it." The Jade in the book said excitedly.
"Un, rest assured!" Qin Shi nodded in agreement. His goal this time was to find a medicine to cure Zhong Yu's soul. Thus, even if the Jade in the book didn't say, he definitely wouldn't give up.
However, Qin Shi didn't make a rash bid. Instead, he silently waited for the right moment.
Therefore, while auctions may be related to wealth, most importantly, the mentality.
"A thousand low-rank soul stones!"
"Two thousand low-rank soul stones!"
"Five thousand low-rank soul stones!"
In the blink of an eye, the price had been raised to five thousand low-grade spirit stones. In that moment of silence, Qin Shi knew that the opportunity had come. He raised the plate in his hand and doubled the price. "One hundred mid-grade spirit stones!"
"Hiss, hiss, hiss …" The entire audience went into an uproar.
The reason they went into an uproar was not because of the hundred mid-grade spirit stones. In their eyes, a medicinal plant that could heal the soul was not worth such a price. Very few people would be willing to buy this herb at a high price.
It had to be said that Qin Shi's move had indeed exerted quite a bit of deterrence.
Many people turned around and glanced at Qin Shi. They all thought that he was a disciple of some big sect, so they all gave up. In the end, three sounds of the hammer hitting the ground rang out as Qin Shi kept the Crimson Spirit Mountain tea in his bag.
Qin Shi was very excited when he received the tea.
As long as he had this tea, the jade in the book would be saved.
However, he and Lin Yu did not immediately leave. After all, he had spent two hundred low-grade spirit stones to enter this auction. No matter what, he would have to wait until the auction was over before he could be considered worthy of those two hundred spirit stones.
One by one, the auction items went past.
However, there was nothing too eye-catching among them.
Among them, Qin Shi had a few things that he loved, and he would occasionally bid for them. However, all of them were mercilessly killed in the cradle by the wealthy merchants of the ancient city.
With regards to this point, he could only silently shake his head.
"Next, Rainbow Skirt!"
On the stage, Tan Xuehui took out the next item.
This time, the auction item was a beautiful vermillion muslin dress. The exquisite craftsmanship of a person could be said to be top-notch. The most important thing was that the gauze dress actually had spirit energy attached to it, and it possessed very high defensive capabilities, comparable to a low grade spirit artifact.
Tan Xuehui caressed her dress and praised, "Such a gorgeous dress! I think if someone was willing to give it to me, I would definitely be happy. Alright, let's cut the crap. Three thousand low-rank soul stones is the starting price. "
Seeing the beautiful dress, Qin Shi's eyes lit up. He flirted slightly with Lin Yu and said, "Xiao Yu, are you optimistic about this Tan Xuehui? Big Bro will teach you how to deal with her. "
"Hmm? You have a way? "
"Of course, who is this brother?" Qin Shi confidently patted his chest. "As long as you can take off this dress and give it to her when you're done, I guarantee that she'll obediently follow you!"
"Three hundred Medial Grade Spirit Stones!"
However, at this time, the audience below had already crazily started bidding.
What was surprising was that this seemingly flashy and unrealistic piece of clothing instantly soared to 300 Medial Grade Spirit Stones. It seemed like Tan Xuehui's charm was worth more than a high grade spirit artifact.
Upon hearing the frightening price, Lin Lin blinked her eyes and finally said seriously, "Ahem, using money to seduce chicks is already out of date. I want that kind of fresh, not greedy, pompous girl!"
"Get lost, I don't think you have any money!"
Qin Shi showed no mercy and immediately rejected.
In the end, at the high price of 350 spirit stones from the Rainbow Skirt Feather Robe, the auction house was pushed to its peak. Tan Xuehui spoke again, "Next, the dragon tendon of the water dragon, five thousand low-rank soul stones."
"Shitou, no matter what, get me this dragon tendon!"
