Chapter 147 Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo
The first floor of the Tiandou Auction House is the trading hall. Many items that cannot be taken into the auction house, or do not want to be taken into the auction house, will be traded here.
After sending Manager Chen away, Dugu Bo introduced Qi Tian: "Little monster, I have been here several times. If you want to buy a soul guide, you should be able to meet him in the trading hall."
Qi Tian smiled and asked: "You don't want me to attend the auction so much?"
Dugu Bo sighed and told the truth, "At the auction, the prices of many items will be driven up by others, and it is basically impossible to buy items that are worth the money. Besides, behind the scenes of the auction city, many shady things are done. In business, there are things you don’t know about.”
Qi Tian shrugged. Originally, there was not much description of the Great Soul Fighting Arena in time and space, but as a gold-splitting cave for nobles, money can buy almost everything here.
After a brief stroll around the trading area, Qi Tian quickly spotted two familiar figures.
"Tang San, Xiao Wu."
According to the original development of time and space, Tang San almost left the Ice and Fire Eyes at this time and returned to Shrek Academy. I just don't know if Tailong will still argue with Tang San because of Xiao Wu.
Tang San and the two wore masks, but in the eyes of those who were familiar with them, the masks were more useful than nothing.
Of course Tang San also noticed him, but the relationship between the two parties was not good enough to take the initiative to say hello.
Dugu Bo looked strange, "Little monster, I always feel that there is something wrong with that little girl, but I still don't know why."
Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the breath-covering grass on Xiao Wu's forehead, and Qi Tian also understood the reason.
"Oh? What did you find?"
Dugu Bo had an inexplicable feeling. He always felt that Xiao Wu was not a human being. But after knowing Tang Hao behind Tang San, he didn't dare to act rashly. Otherwise, he would most likely arrest Xiao Wu for research.
"Forget it, I must be dazzled."
Arriving at the entrance of the auction hall, the attendant at the auction house took the initiative to hand over the mask, "Two distinguished guests, do you need a mask to cover your face?"
Dugu Bo doesn't need these falsehoods. Besides, anyone who is familiar with him can recognize his outfit at a glance, so there is no need to hide it.
The seats in the auction house, from low to high, are: white, yellow, purple, black, and red.
As the earl of Qi Tian, he could sit in the black seat even if he had no money; Dugu Bo's strength naturally qualified him to sit in the red private room.
However, this was not a big auction, and they did not need to buy many things. They simply found an empty seat and sat down at random.
"Little monster, when you see something you want, don't bid too hard to avoid wasting money. Even if the auctioneer's hammer falls, as long as the item is not removed, you can increase the price."
Dugu Bo said a lot in one breath.
In his previous life, Qi Tian was lucky enough to go to several charity auctions. However, in this kind of auction, the transaction price is often much higher than the value of the item. When doing charity, what matters is not the thing, but how much money you are willing to give.
This is my first time participating in a purely commercial auction.
Not long after, Tang San and Xiao Wu entered the auction house. After buying the Breath-Making Grass for Xiao Wu, Tang San no longer had any savings. I came here simply to see how much his auction items could fetch and to gain some insights.
But after seeing Dugu Bo, Xiao Wu immediately lost interest and pulled Tang San out of the venue.
The ability of breath-hiding grass is far inferior to that of Acacia Heartbroken Red. Its ability to mask the aura is limited. If it is kept stared at by a strong person, the disguise will be torn apart soon.
This kind of ordinary auction is held at the auction house around the clock. However, the waiting time for the next lot may sometimes be longer.
Items like storage soul guides are very rare in the outside world, but in auction venues, they are common items.
"The auction item below is a rare storage soul guidance device."
The auctioneer uncovered the red cloth on the tray, and a soul guide that looked like a bracelet appeared in front of everyone.
Qi Tian's martial soul is a fist. If it is a ring soul guide, he must take it off before fighting, otherwise there is a risk of damage during the battle. The bracelet soul guide suits him very well.
"Dear guests, this soul guide bracelet has thirty cubic meters of storage space inside. If you are a distinguished guest who needs to store soul guides, be sure not to miss it. The starting price is one hundred thousand gold soul coins, and each increase must not be less than one Ten thousand gold soul coins.”
After the auctioneer finished speaking, there were very few people asking for the price. After a few minutes, the price reached 150,000 gold soul coins.
"Little monster, the largest known capacity soul guide on the mainland is fifty cubic meters. This thirty cubic soul guide is already big enough. However, the price should not exceed 180,000 gold soul coins." Dugu Bo said.
The soul guide is the item with the highest unsold rate in the auction house, and most guests are not interested in it.
In the end, Qi Tian bought it for 170,000 gold soul coins.
Originally, Qi Tian planned to leave directly, but the next auction item was a piece of heavy silver. After smelting this kind of ore, the metal extracted has a very high hardness and is the best choice for making weapons. Even if it won't be used in the short term, there's no guarantee that it will be used.
After Qi Tian took a photo of it, he decided to keep an eye on it to see if there would be anything good in the future.
Not long after, Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo came to the two of them.
"My Majesty Dugu, long time no see." Ning Fengzhi took the initiative to chat.
Free spirit masters like Dugu Bo were the main targets of the Qibao Glazed Sect.
Dugu Bo was very clear about Ning Fengzhi's character, and he replied in a nonchalant manner: "I didn't expect that Sect Master Ning and Sword Douluo would come here to join in the fun."
Chen Xin said nothing and followed Ning Fengzhi quietly.
The relationship between the two parties was not very good, so Ning Fengzhi chose to sit next to Qi Tian.
"This must be the new earl of the empire, Mr. Qi Tian."
"Sect Master Ning, do you have any advice?"
Qi Tian was not surprised when he bumped into Ning Fengzhi here. Ning Fengzhi is a frequent visitor to the auction house and comes here many times.
But he had a very bad impression of the latter. If Chen Xin was not here, he would not even pay attention to the other party.
Ning Fengzhi showed an elegant look and said with a smile: "The Qibao Glazed Sect has always been hospitable. If Count Qitian is interested, he can come to the Qibao Glazed Sect as a guest, so that Ning can fulfill his friendship as a landlord."
"Sect Master Ning, don't use those tricks of yours." It was Dugu Bo who spoke.
He was not surprised at all by Ning Fengzhi's words.
The Qibao Glazed Sect was originally an auxiliary sect, but they controlled a large amount of wealth in the Tiandou Empire. Without the protection of the attack-type soul masters, their property would have been divided up long ago.
Ning Fengzhi has long been accustomed to wooing talented people. Even Dugu Bo has been visited by them many times.
Chen Xin snorted coldly and looked at Dugu Bo sharply.
"Uncle Jian." Ning Fengzhi whispered, not angry, and still maintained his demeanor, "Earl Qitian can come to Qibao Glazed Sect at any time if necessary. Ning does not dare to exaggerate, but the items in the auction house, Qibao There is a high probability that the Glazed Sect also has one.”
