Liu Ming sat in a corner of the hall, and looked at the densely packed cultivators in the hall with cold eyes. There was no expression on his face, but there was a gray cloak on his head, covering most of his face.
The reason why he appeared here was partly because of a few auction items, and the other was that he was ordered by the proprietor Qian to sit here to prevent any accidents from happening.
Of course, there will be people making trouble, it is almost impossible to happen.
Because the entire auction hall has long been densely covered by various legal systems by the wizard of Bailing Juzheng, even if the spiritualist appears and is trapped, I am afraid that it will not be able to break the many restrictions here for a while.
What's more, for this auction, Qian Dongzhu not only drew a group of guest officials from various places, but even borrowed more than a dozen souls from the Three Kings Palace, plus four teams of shadow guards.
Many of them were mixed in the crowd like Liu Ming. But most people stood coldly around the hall to frighten some unruly people.
A little bit of time passed, when a slender sandalwood incense burned out in an incense burner on a high platform right in front of the main hall, someone immediately gave an order, and the doors of several exits immediately closed slowly.
At this time, Mian Lao with a smile on his face took Bai Qinghai and the other four guests, walked out of a side door behind the stone platform, and stepped onto the high platform in front of him in a hurry.
The old man's sleeves just flicked, and after a flash of white light, the incense burner disappeared, and at the same time a long wooden table of several meters appeared out of thin air on the stone platform.
Seeing this scene, some cultivators made a light "Huh" surprise, but most people still looked indifferent.
Although generally speaking, things like storage talisman must be manipulated by people above the spiritualist realm, there are always some special Xumi things that can avoid mana cultivation, just like Liu Ming used to use before. That kind of mutant storage talisman or Xumipa has extremely limited things.
The four of Bai Qinghai stood expressionlessly at the four corners of the stone platform. Whoever wanted to rush to make trouble, they had to pass the four of them first.
An ordinary auction will naturally be hosted by someone who is articulate, but in this kind of auction where all cultivators are involved, the host needs a certain amount of strength, so the host Qian was chosen. Mian Lao came to host.
Originally, the owner of Bailingju had considered letting Liu Ming be responsible for this matter, and his current fame was in Xuanjing Zhengsheng, but Liu Ming naturally refused without hesitation.
"Who is the old man? I believe that many Taoist friends present should know one or two. It doesn't matter if you don't know someone, just call it some old men. This time the auction held by Bailingju will be hosted by the next. It’s the first time for us at Bailingju to hold this auction meeting, but I believe it will definitely satisfy everyone. Okay, everyone is impatient to come here. Mian now announces that the second auction meeting will begin." After talking a few words, Mian coughed and announced that the auction had started.
Although his voice was not loud, he still made everyone in the hall hear clearly under the magic power.
At the same time, the side door of the rear stone platform opened again. Three graceful and beautiful women, each holding a silver tray covered by red silk and satin, walked on the high platform, and then placed them respectfully one by one. Long table.
Only then did Mian Lao take a step forward without a hassle, picking up the silk and satin on the front silver plate, revealing a thick stack of light yellow flags.
"The first auction item is this set of flags of the Four Elephant Diamond Formation. Ha ha, I believe some fellow Taoists have also heard about it. Several guest officials from this residence were once escorted by some young people on the way to Beijing. After secretly attacking, these guest officials used this array flag to withstand attacks several times with their enemies, and persisted until reinforcements arrived, so they were safe. Therefore, this array flag is of extraordinary significance, and Old Fute used it as an example. The first item of the auction conference was put out for auction." At this point, Mian Lao's words paused, and consciously glanced at the people in the hall.
As soon as these words were said, it really caused some people to whisper, and many people showed expressions of interest.
After all, this set of flags has been tested in actual combat. Although it requires multiple people to control it, there are still many forces that are very interested in it.
Seeing this, Mian Lao showed a satisfied look, believing that this object should be able to sell for a good price, and said again:
"A set of flags of the Four Elephant King Kong Array, the reserve price is 10,000 spiritual stones, and the bid price shall not be less than 1,000 spiritual stones. Now start bidding!"
"Ten Thousand Spirit Stones"
"Twelve Thousand"
"Fifteen thousand"
…
As soon as the old man's voice fell, many people immediately shouted prices.
In a blink of an eye, the price of this array flag approached 20,000 Lingshi.
As a result, the number of bidders was immediately reduced, and only four or five people continued to fight with perseverance.
A somewhat hoarse voice of "Twenty-Five Thousand Spirit Stones" finally pushed the price to a new level.
The other people who were still vying for it all said nothing.
The Sixiang Diamond Array can only be used for protection without the slightest attack power, and it needs several people to manipulate it. The price is already extremely high.
Although they felt it was a pity, the auction meeting had just begun and they had to give up.
"Is there anyone bidding? There is really no one? Okay, one... two... three, the flag of the Four Elephant Diamond Formation belongs to this fellow Daoist. The fellow Daoist can now go to the backstage to deliver the goods." I don't know when there was an extra green and crystal small hammer in Mian's hands, and after knocking it down on the table, he announced the ownership of this array of flags.
At the place where the price was last shouted in the hall, a big man with a white mask stood up, led by a nearby waiter, and left the hall through another side door nearby.
"The second auction item, the three giant wolf puppet beasts left by the Nine Aperture Sect. If a daoist proficient in puppet art can skillfully manipulate it, each one can have a powerful strength that is no less than that of a mid-term spiritualist." After the veteran Mian picked up the silk on the second silver plate, he immediately pointed to the three cyan balls in the plate and said with a smile.
Then he clapped his hands, and walked from behind the stone platform to a strange man who had been waiting there.
As soon as the man came onto the stage, he grabbed one of the cyan balls without saying a word, threw it to the ground, and then pinched it with one hand to make it empty.
"Crack"!
The cyan orb was deformed into a huge cyan wolf, and his eyes flashed with blood, which was extremely lifelike.
Following this, under the control of the strange man, the giant wolf showed agility far beyond ordinary people's imagination. It was extremely ferocious no matter what it swooped and bitten. In the end, it even took a mouthful and spouted several times from high in the sky. Qingmengmeng wind blade came.
Many in the hall did not care about this before, but seeing this situation, they couldn't help but feel a little moved.
However, in the eyes of Liu Ming, who had seen the disciples of the Nine Aperture Sect actually manipulate puppets, he felt that male puppetry was just ordinary, and could not be compared with the core disciples of the Nine Aperture Sect.
After the performance, the strange man charged the giant wolf a little more, turned it into a round ball and put it back on the silver plate, then retired from the high platform silently.
"Three giant wolf puppets are auctioned separately, each with three thousand spirit stones, and each increase in price shall not be less than two hundred spirit stones.!" While the faces of many people in the hall were still shocked, Mian Lao grabbed it. The timing of the auction of three puppet wolves began.
"Three Thousand Spirit Stones"
"Three Thousand Two Hundred"
"Three Thousand Four Hundred"
…
The competition between these three puppet beasts, under the stimulation of the performance just now, also appeared to be very popular. They were auctioned at different prices of three thousand six hundred spirit stones, three thousand eight hundred spirit stones, and 4 thousand two hundred spirits.
The price of Mian Lao Stinger was naturally quite satisfactory, and the satin on the third tray, which was not hurried, was removed, revealing more than twenty seemingly weird gray-black tokens.
"Twenty spirit opening tokens were released by the organization that organized this spirit opening ceremony. If you have any younger generations who want to become cultivators like me and cannot enter the five sects, this is the best. It’s a good choice. However, as explained in advance, this casual repair organization is also our first contact with Bailingju, and is only responsible for helping them auction these tokens, and is responsible for telling the time and place of the opening ceremony, and is not responsible for other things. Everyone One token, five hundred Lingshi start auctions, each time the price must not be less than one hundred Lingshi. The auction begins!" Mian Lao announced the start of the auction directly after only a brief introduction this time.
However, it is clear that everyone in the hall is very familiar with the spirit tokens, and most of them are surprised when they see them. After the auction starts, the prices have soared, and most of them are around a thousand spirit stones. It's about to be auctioned off.
Seeing this, Liu Ming was equally surprised.
The so-called spirit-opening token is the same as the token he carried when he participated in the spirit-opening ceremony of the Barbarian Ghost Sect. They all represent a quota for participating in the spirit-opening ceremony.
However, these tokens at the auction were not issued by the major sects, but were quietly held by some casual practitioners to raise resources and hold the spirit opening ceremony.
This kind of spiritual opening ceremony is due to insufficient resources and insufficient mana experience of the host. The number of participants and the success rate are naturally far from comparable to those of several major sect ceremonies, but it is still for many people who ask themselves to have spiritual veins. Scholars provide the possibility to become spiritualists, so although they are expensive, they are still sought after by countless Qi refiners. I don't know how many casual cultivators have appeared.
At least the people in the hall now, I am afraid that in all likelihood, only through this method can they become spiritualists.
After the twenty spirit unlocking tokens were successfully robbed, Mian Lao smiled a little bit more on his face, and clapped his hands again, and three more maids walked up from the stage.
But this time, the silver plate held in the hands of the three women was no longer obstructed, and it was all three pale red vials that were generally the same.
"The items auctioned below are believed to be the things that many Taoists dream of. They are three true evil spirits from the same evil pit!" Mian Laomu swept the three vials, and said with a hint of enthusiasm in his eyes. .
