Chapter 1930 Light Smoke Step (23)
Jiang Ming stagnated, and Xu Yi was led by an attendant to the left aisle.
After turning around a few times, the direction continued downward, and the lobby seemed to be built in the heart of the mountain.
After half a cup of tea, he followed his attendants to a lobby. The hall was extremely spacious, with hundreds of futons lying on the smooth floor tens of feet in length. There was no main photo booth in front, only a huge jade.
When Xu Yi arrived, nearly half of the futons in the field were filled, and more than half were occupied by people dressed in loose clothes and heavy hats like him, and there were also people who used formations to create a cloud of mist to hide in front of the door.
In short, there are only a handful of people who show people their faces, and even those who show their faces may not be their true faces.
After all, participating in an auction, regardless of whether you can get a treasure, will definitely show your financial resources in front of everyone.
If a valuable photograph is taken, I am afraid it will be remembered even more. It is said that they are from the same sect, and they are often father and son. In terms of such spiritual resources, they cannot be absolutely candid.
Soon, the futons in the venue were filled.
Hundreds of people gathered, but quietly, waiting for the photo session to begin.
After half a stick of incense, the crystal screen in front projected a piece of light and shadow, and a middle-aged fat man appeared in the light and shadow. The middle-aged fat man was dressed in a bright red and purple dress. He was extremely festive. There was a huge jade table standing next to him.
Xu Yi understood that this time it was not a real person showing up to take the photo, but a projection.
The projection in front of him was extremely realistic, with almost no color difference. If it weren't for the shallow white light at the edge of the light and shadow, it would almost make people think that the fat man was standing in the open space in front of him.
The fat man in red bowed to everyone and introduced himself. He claimed that his surname was Qin. Everyone can call him Fatty Qin. After a bunch of useless nonsense introducing the history, development situation and deep friendship with the Xuanqing Sect of the Five Lakes Merchant Alliance, he auctioned It finally started.
Xu Yi has seen the auction promotion, and this auction mainly focuses on elixirs and related aspects.
The first item that was invited to be auctioned was a herbal plant called Huandancao. He seemed to know that there were senior monks in the room. Fatty Qin announced the start of the bidding without introducing it too much. The price kept rising, and finally It only reached double the starting price and was taken away by No. 32.
The auction was going on in an orderly manner, and after three more rounds, Xu Yi's favorite treasure was put on the auction block. It was a hundred sets of ingredients for refining Yuan Dan. The starting price was thirty Yuan Dan.
Xu Yi calculated carefully and found that the unit price was not cheaper than outside. As far as he knew, if the people from Gongjin Society prepared ten pairs of medicines, the cost would only be two or three Yuan Dan.
But considering the hard work involved and the fact that this is a large quantity of prepared medicines, this starting price is not outrageous.
Since Xu Yi decided to enter the alchemy industry, he naturally had to try to refine Yuan Dan, and preparing the medicine was a must.
He took action decisively and won the first group at the price of fifty Yuan Dan.
He also won the third and last group at the price of 60 or 80 Yuan Dan.
After that, he stopped and just sat back and watched the show.
As he watched along the way, he was dazzled by the herbs that appeared, but none of them were what he urgently needed at the moment. Although his heart was pounding when he heard them, he never took action.
Finally, Jing Yuan Guo appeared.
As expected, they appeared in groups again, three in a group.
With the experience of dispensing medicine, Xu Yi knew that the price would definitely get higher and higher as he went to the back, so he decisively made the first move.
After only bidding twice, the price of a set of three Jing Yuan Fruits has already exceeded the eighty mark.
The market price of one Jing Yuan Fruit outside floats around twenty Yuan Dan.
Finally, when the price of a group of Jing Yuan Fruits reached the eighty-eight mark, No. 3 won the prize.
Xu Yi decisively stopped. It was too much more than the actual value and he was not going to pay for it.
And according to his analysis, the reason for this situation is that everyone expected it to rise all the way like pharmaceuticals, and they all wanted to grab the advantage first, and the result was that the price went higher and higher.
Sure enough, when the price of the second set of Jingyuan Fruit reached seventy-five Yuan Dan, Xu Yi became a little tired. Xu Yi added three more at once and won the price at seventy-eight.
The third group of Jing Yuan Fruit, after the sluggishness of the second group, broke through the eighty mark again.
Xu Yi knew that the price might not be able to be lowered. The demand was too great. With so many monks gathered in one place and almost everyone in need, how could the price not go up?
He took action decisively and won another set at the price of ninety pieces.
The fourth group of Essence Fruits undoubtedly exceeded ninety.
The fifth group, which is the last group, actually reached 108 pieces.
Xu Yi simply gave up. He got six Jing Yuan Fruits. Although he was not very satisfied, it was still enough for a few experiments.
The shooting session continued, and after more than ten rounds of medicinal material groups, the one who was invited to come up was the elixir group.
Xu Yi never thought that there would be pills with so many functions in the world, such as synesthesia pills, spiritual identification pills, body strengthening pills, and so on.
Discerning the elixir, taking it can greatly enhance the sense of taste and smell, and has a miraculous effect on finding precious medicines.
Strengthening Pill, taking it can greatly strengthen the monk's physical defense.
The most eye-catching one is the Synaesthesia Pill. Taking this pill can greatly strengthen the thoughts of the soul, enough to cover mountains and rivers within a hundred miles.
Xu Yi always had this feeling in the lower realm, but it seemed extremely magical here. It was exaggerated by Fatty Qin for a while, and the synaesthesia pills were also sold at sky-high prices. The starting price alone reached fifty yuan pills, and finally ended up with three yuan pills. The transaction was completed at a price of one hundred and twenty coins.
In Xu Yi's opinion, it was simply ridiculously expensive, but it was just a magical use for spiritual detection that only lasted a few hours. How could it be worth such a sky-high price?
Then I thought about it, no one is a fool. If someone buys it, it might be used for a special purpose, so why should I worry about it?
After a bunch of weird elixirs, we entered the miscellaneous category. The first thing to appear was the exercises, and the response from the audience was not enthusiastic.
However, it was not as expected by Xu Yi. It was difficult to practice and master the exercises. Monks often worked hard on the exercises they specialized in. Unless they encountered high-level exercises, very few would switch to other methods.
After a few rounds, there was one unsolicited round, which made Fatty Qin very embarrassed. He wiped the shiny sweat from his head and said, "I know that in today's cultivation world, elixirs are emphasized more than exercises, but exercises themselves are also harmful to spiritual power. A kind of chemical function that also has a tonic effect on refining elixirs. The following is a set of escape methods. Everyone knows that a good escape method is more important than the attack and defense skills, not because of anything else. As the old saying goes, a minute faster means more lives when escaping, and more iron than gold when attacking."
"This set of escape techniques is called the Light Smoke Step. It is an ancient technique and is extremely magical. The appraisers of this Merchant Alliance have appraised it. If this Light Smoke Step is learned successfully, the escape speed will even exceed that of the Eight Flowing Wind Techniques."
