Chapter 129: Are you fooling a fool?

Chapter 129: Are you fooling a fool?

Thinking this in his mind, Ji Chen quickly tidied up his appearance and followed Liang Shengyun out of Haohan Building.

Weicheng is now a bit more lively than last night.

As the date of the Kunlun Dao Conference draws closer, cultivators from all over the Eastern Wilderness have been arriving here one after another, making Weicheng almost overcrowded.

Yunling Auction House.

After walking through several busy and bustling streets, Ji Chen and Liang Shengyun arrived here.

Looking around, one can see that a long queue has already formed in front of the auction house, and many people are entering in an orderly manner.

"so many people?"

Ji Chen was slightly surprised. Although he had expected that tonight's auction would attract many cultivators, when he saw the long queue in front of the auction house, it was obvious that the number of people was much greater than he had imagined.

"Brother Ji, go this way."

Liang Shengyun smiled and then took Ji Chen to a place on the side of the auction house.

It can be seen that there is also an entrance, but compared to the crowded main entrance, the people here are sparse.

This is the VIP channel. Those who can enter the auction house through this channel are either rich or noble.

As a member of the Liang family, Liang Shengyun was naturally invited by the auction house and had a VIP certificate in his hand.

Soon, after handing the certificate to the servant on duty here for inspection, Ji Chen and the others successfully entered the auction house.

Looking around, the entire auction house is divided into two floors.

The hall on the first floor is extremely large, with thousands of seats. Now there are almost no empty seats, and many people have to stand because they can't sit down.

As for Liang Shengyun, who had a VIP certificate, Yunling Auction House arranged a special room for him on the second-floor attic.

The two walked up the stairs and finally entered room number 17.

There are a total of twenty VIP rooms like this, and those who can enter the rooms, without exception, have absolutely extraordinary backgrounds and identities.

Everything in the room was arranged rather simply, with only a few wooden chairs and a wooden table with some tea on it, which had just been brewed.

Ji Chen and Liang Shengyun sat down directly. In front of them was a window. Looking down from there, they could just see the auction table at the front of the auction hall on the first floor.

"With so many people coming tonight, I'm afraid the rooms in the second-floor attic are already overcrowded. They are all important figures." Liang Shengyun said.

Ji Chen took a sip of tea and couldn't help asking, "With so many big shots competing with each other, if a conflict occurs, wouldn't it be very troublesome?"

Hearing this, Liang Shengyun couldn't help but smile, "It is said that this Yunling Auction House has a great background. It is an industry opened by a certain ancient family, so no one dares to cause trouble easily."

"If it were any other auction house without a backer, the items put up for auction might be snatched away by someone else. But here, with the intimidation of the ancient family, no one dares to do anything rash." Liang Shengyun said.

While the two of them were chatting, the teapot was already half full.

As time went by, more and more people entered the venue.

But most people can only stay in the hall on the first floor, and very few are qualified to go to the second floor.

If it weren't for Liang Shengyun's help today, Ji Chen would probably have to stand in the hall on the first floor.

"Cough cough..."

At a certain moment, an old man with white hair and beard walked up to the auction table.

He cleared his throat, then pressed his hands slightly, and the noisy noise in the room suddenly became much quieter.

All I heard was the old man saying, "My name is Qi Feng, and I am the elder of the ancient Qi family. Many of you here should be familiar with me, so I won't introduce myself in detail."

He smiled slightly, clasped his fists towards the rooms on the second floor, and then continued, "Tonight's auction will be presided over by me personally. The rules of my Yunling Auction House are actually no different from those of other auction houses."

"The most important point is not to bid recklessly. If anyone dares to disrupt the order, the Qi family will not tolerate it."

His voice was very faint, but it was clearly heard throughout the venue.

The ancient Qi family is one of the great clans in the Eastern Wilderness. With such a top-notch elder in charge, I'm afraid no one would dare to act recklessly here.

"The next item to be auctioned is the first item of tonight."

As he spoke, he flipped his hand and took out something from the mysterious ring.

It was a wooden box that was placed on the auction table.

Everyone focused their attention on it, and saw Chifeng gently open the wooden box, and then a medicinal herb came into everyone's sight.

"This is a thousand-year-old spiritual crow, a high-grade medicinal material used in refining fifth-grade or higher elixirs. It is said to be a thousand-year-old spiritual crow, but after being appraised by our Yunling Auction House, it is only eight hundred years old. However, the strength of its medicinal properties is not much different from that of a thousand-year-old crow."

"In addition to being used to make pills, this medicine can also be taken directly, but the effect is much worse than making pills."

"The starting price is 10,000 spirit stones. Each bid cannot be less than 1,000. The highest bidder wins. Everyone, please start bidding."

As Chifeng's words fell, many cultivators in the auction venue couldn't help but discuss in low voices.

"An eight-hundred-year-old spiritual crow? That's extremely rare."

"Haha, it's naturally rare. It's eight hundred years old. If we talk about age, I'm afraid no one here can compare to this spiritual crow, right?"

"It is said that this thing contains an extremely refined energy of heaven and earth, and its value is definitely more than ten thousand spirit stones!"

"Since no one wants to take the lead, I'll do it. I'll pay 10,000!"

"eleven thousand!"

"Twelve thousand!"

"Thirteen thousand!"

"..."

"Twenty thousand spiritual stones!"

During the discussion, many people started to bid, and in just a moment, the price of Lingwu was raised to 20,000, and there was no intention of stopping, and the price continued to rise.

"Is this thing worth 20,000 spirit stones? Are you trying to fool a fool?"

In Room 17, Liang Shengyun frowned slightly, "I have 20,000 spirit stones, which is enough for me to go to Tianxiangfang for a month. What do I need this thing for?"

“After all, it is a spiritual medicine that can help people improve their cultivation. Brother Liang is not interested, but I am.”

Ji Chen smiled, then shouted, "30,000 Spiritual Stones."

"Thirty-one thousand!"

"Thirty-two thousand!"

"Thirty-three thousand!"

But soon, someone continued to raise the price. It was obvious that many people were very interested in this spiritual black bird and did not want to miss it.

"forty thousand!"

Ji Chen had no intention of giving up and immediately called out a higher price again.

"Brother Ji, you are so confused. Why don't you save these 40,000 spirit stones? We can stay in Weicheng for two months. Wouldn't it be good if we can go to Tianxiang Tower every day?" Liang Shengyun said very seriously.
