Chapter 155: First Time at the Auction
Chapter 155: First Time at the Auction
In the northern part of Qianyang City, the Feiyu Chamber of Commerce branch is composed of more than a dozen tall nine-story towers.
There is a huge square in front of each tower, and the buildings are spaced in an orderly manner. The entire branch covers a vast area. It is not only magnificent from a distance, but also majestic when viewed up close.
It is said that this branch is the largest branch in the southern Xinjiang region, and it governs other branches in hundreds of states in southern Xinjiang.
Normally there are many monks coming and going here, and there are even more today, because today the Feiyu Chamber of Commerce will hold a two-day large-scale auction event here.
At this moment, many monks have gathered in the front square of one of the buildings called Changqing Tower.
Some gathered in groups of three or five, chatting and laughing, discussing the ways of cultivation.
Some of them were arm in arm with each other, smiling obscenely, discussing the ways of beauties.
Some people keep to themselves and pretend to be deep. No one knows what they are thinking. They always have an expression that says "keep away from strangers".
Yang Yunfei, Zhao Chengzhi and Qi Yu cousins belong to the second category.
Because of Du Tianjiao's incident, Lu Zhishen was worried that he would be targeted by the people in the City Lord's Mansion, so he took Lu Su with him to practice in seclusion to avoid any further trouble.
"Alas... It has always been true that beautiful women often lead to mistakes. With such a rare opportunity, Lu Chen was actually obsessed with her gentle fragrance and couldn't extricate himself. What a pity! How sad! How lamentable!" Zhao Chengzhi said regretfully, holding an information jade card in his hand.
In order to express his gratitude to Lu Chen for helping him out at Qiankun Stone Square, he paid out of his own pocket to buy Lu Chen a regular seat auction ticket from a scalper.
But Lu Chen said he was busy and slammed the door shut. Wasn't it a waste of thousands of mid-grade spirit stones?
"Haha... I see you! You're just saying the grapes are sour because you can't eat them. They're newlyweds, so what's wrong with being bored with each other? If it were me, I wouldn't come either.
Besides, what were you doing sneaking around by yourself yesterday? Don't think we don't know. Brother Yunfei and I were following you the whole time, but you didn't notice. "
Qi Yutang crossed his hands in front of his chest and looked at Zhao Chengzhi with a wink, as if to say, "Why don't you tell the truth?"
"Hehe... that's right, some people! On the surface, they pretend to be practicing hard and ask us not to disturb them, but in the end, they go to Piaoxiang Tower alone.
I don’t know what kind of practice they are doing, but it actually requires a man and a woman to work together, haha…” Yang Yunfei said sarcastically.
"You...you guys." Zhao Chengzhi was speechless when he heard this. He didn't expect that he would be followed by them when he went out to eat alone. When he was thinking about how to refute, the crowd in the square began to gather towards Changqing Tower.
"Let's go! It's time to enter the venue!" Yang Yunfei said, looking in the direction of the crowd.
A few people then followed the noisy crowd towards Changqing Building. There was a hall on the first floor. The decoration inside was simple and elegant, a bit like a Chinese teahouse.
There is a circular formation groove in the middle of the hall, which is about the size of two bedrooms. Mysterious runes are flashing in the formation groove.
The two beautiful monks were wearing uniform clothes embroidered with the Feiyu Chamber of Commerce logo. They kept smiling and stood five or six meters away from the formation groove, doing simple guidance work.
"Look! That's the teleportation array!" Qi Yutang shouted, pointing at the array groove in the hall.
At this moment, cultivators were constantly entering the groove of the formation, and then their bodies disappeared directly on the spot without any pause at all.
Each cultivator holds an information jade token in his hand, which is also the ticket to the auction. One only needs to inject one's true essence into it, and the information jade token will then flash with a faint light.
If the information jade token is forged, the teleportation array will automatically identify it and the monk will not be teleported.
Just like the guy just now, other monks were teleported away, but he stayed where he was, and then he realized that the ticket he bought was a fake.
He shouted on the spot that he had been cheated and angrily threatened to settle the score with the ticket scalpers.
The other monks would naturally not care about this kind of thing, and the Feiyu Chamber of Commerce would not care either. Who told them to buy scalper tickets? If they bought fake tickets, they could only blame themselves for their bad luck.
But Yang Yunfei and the others looked at each other and felt their hearts pounding when they heard this, because they also bought tickets from ticket scalpers, and it would be embarrassing if they also bought fake tickets.
Then, with a nervous mood, several people prayed in their hearts that the tickets were real, and followed the noisy crowd into the formation groove. The next second, they disappeared on the spot. The monks behind followed closely and entered in an orderly manner.
Almost in an instant, Yang Yunfei, Qi Yutang, and Zhao Chengzhi appeared in three seats side by side, but their seats were already in the last row.
Seeing that they had successfully entered the auction venue, Yang Yunfei and the others finally felt relieved and began to look around.
The auction site was a bit like a large gymnasium, with a high platform in front and a huge array light curtain behind it.
At this moment, the items to be auctioned were scrolling back and forth on the light screen. The images were so clear and lifelike that they seemed to be right in front of you. It was quite mysterious.
There are five thousand ordinary seats facing the platform, arranged in a slight arc in the middle. Each seat is spaced in an orderly manner, so the monks will not feel crowded.
There are about a hundred private rooms above the ordinary seats, named one, two, and three from the middle to the sides.
There are several large pieces of white light stones on the top, making the entire auction venue as bright as day. The inner space is rich in spiritual energy, which makes monks willing to stay there for a long time.
On the empty seats, monks were constantly teleported to their seats, and when the time came, the auction would officially begin.
In the room of "Food is Immortality", Lu Chen told Yu Qian the cause and effect of the matter, and told her not to leave "Food is Immortality" before leaving with peace of mind.
Yu Qian naturally nodded in agreement. Two days was just a blink of an eye for a cultivator. Then Yu Qian began to sit cross-legged and practice with a happy smile.
At this moment, Lu Chen had put on a magic mask and disguised himself as an ordinary-looking middle-aged monk. He was wearing a navy blue robe that covered his entire body, giving people a mysterious feeling.
I bought this outfit specially when I went shopping with Yu Qian two days ago, just to hide my identity.
In the North City District, Feiyu Chamber of Commerce branch, there are not many monks left in the square in front of Changqing Building. Most of them are idle monks. Almost all the monks who bought tickets have entered the venue.
At this moment, Hu Shilong was hugging Xia Ji's delicate body, and brought Dan Gui Yin Cang, Chu Dingtian, Hua Youyuan and other guests to attend the auction on time.
The few people who arrived at this time were considered the last wave of monks.
However, at this moment, another cultivator wearing a navy blue robe that covered his entire face came quickly. This cultivator was none other than Lu Chen who had arrived late.
Just happened to meet Hu Shilong and others in the hall. Hu Shilong and others naturally did not take a second look at this cultivator. They chatted with each other while walking towards the range of the formation.
But when Lu Chen saw Chu Dingtian's face, his body paused for a moment, cold sweat dripped down his face, and he quickly calmed down and stood in place, making the movement of looking for the information jade token.
After they left, Lu Chen heaved a sigh of relief, stepped into the range of the formation, and his body disappeared...
