Jiang Chaoge learned from the guard that the ten silver coins he gave when he entered the door just now was a deposit, which proves that you did not come in to make trouble. If you deposit too much, the position will be particularly good.
The people who participated in the auction have arrived one after another, and those who want to come in to watch the fun are all placed on the second floor. Jiang Chaoge has participated in many auctions before, and there has never been any auction like this one. The posture is like watching a drama, and it is also a noisy comedy, which requires the audience to stir up the atmosphere.
Because Zhi Xuan didn't like to be in contact with humans, Jiang Chaoge could only sit in the corner, the crowd gradually increased, and the auction officially started.
The few pieces that were exhibited at the beginning were all very common prefecture-level animal materials, which did not attract everyone's interest.
The sixth auction item finally had some meaning, it was a flute made of luan bird bones. It is said that the bird's call has five scales, which is like the sound of nature, very graceful, even if the flute is played casually by people who don't understand the rhythm at all, it can make a fascinating sound. Sure enough, the auctioneer blew it twice on the spot, and the flute sound was melodious and beautiful. If someone with soul power used it, he could summon a luan bird to play the flute together, and the picture would be wonderful when you think about it.
The starting price for this luan bird flute is five hundred silver coins.
Zhi Xuan's eyes lit up, and he pulled Jiang Chaoge's hair, "I want it."
"It's good to hear this, it's not practical."
"No, I want it." Zhi Xuan pointed at the guard and ordered, "Go buy it."
Jiang Chaoge winked at the guards and told them to ignore him. He patted Zhi Xuan on the back, "Why do you want this, you don't know how to play the flute."
"It sounds good."
"This is the sixth exhibit. There are many interesting things in the back. If you like it when you see it, I can't afford it."
"Isn't Yu Renshu rich?"
"How dare we spend other people's money indiscriminately." Jiang Chaoge thought to himself, spending money on useful things.
Zhi Xuan frowned, his face full of displeasure.
"Listen, the price of the flute has been increased to 800 silver coins. These auction items are very expensive. Well, if you like it, I will buy one for you, but I can only ask for one today. Do you still want the flute?"
Zhi Xuan thought for a while, nodded, and shook his head again.
Jiang Chaoge touched his head and said with a smile, "It's so good."
Luanniao was finally taken away for the price of one gold coin. Although this flute is good, it is useless to buy it back if one is not obsessed with music, so one gold coin is already quite high.
The seventh auction item is a whole animal bone, the size is somewhat like a cow, the head is small, the body is a bird, but the soles of the feet are like an ape.
The people who started in the auction hall began to speculate about what kind of beast skeleton it was. Some people shouted out loudly, and some people refuted it. The hall was very noisy.
Jiang Chaoge asked the guard, "Didn't the auctioneer tell us what it is?"
The guard shook his head, "If you don't tell us, we will let us judge for ourselves."
This auction method, just like gambling with stones and playing with antiques, requires you to use rich knowledge and experience to select treasures. The thrill of picking and the surprise of finding a good treasure will make people hungry, excited, and destitute. Getting rich overnight can happen overnight, and this kind of shuddering tension alone is a good idea.
Zhi Xuan pouted, "It's just a few."
Jiang Chaoge said, "Do you know what it is?"
The people next to them turned their heads when they heard their conversation.
Just as Zhi Xuan was about to stare, Jiang Chaoge turned his little head over and whispered, "You know what it is, don't say it, just tell me in my ear."
Zhi Xuan grabbed Jiang Chaoge's earlobe and pressed his lips directly to his ear, "It's Shusi, a beast with the head of a cat and the body of a bird, only suitable for earth-level soul weapons."
Zhi Xuan's lips were wet and soft, the hot air sprayed into Jiang Chaoge's ears, it was a little itchy, he shrank his neck in a conditioned reflex, "Oh, I see."
The base price for this number of bones is 200 silver coins, which is guaranteed to be unoccupied by the beast soul.
Jiang Chaoge wasn't interested at all. First, the price was too high, and second, he couldn't get it at a very good price. Earning dozens and hundreds of silver coins couldn't satisfy him at all.
Even a few auction items were made of such prefecture-level animal materials, and Jiang Chaoge gradually felt a little bored.
Zhi Xuan also said impatiently, "I want a flute."
"Don't be fooled."
Zhi Xuan snorted heavily.
The auctioneer said loudly: "The next auction item is from the disciples of Que Lingxing... Dare to act rashly."
There was a commotion in the auction room. Although the auctioneer said that it was done by the disciples of the master master, it may not be true, but if it is true, it must be a good thing.
Jiang Chaoge also immediately regained his energy. He asked the guard, "What is a half-soul Horcrux?"
The guard said: "The Horcrux we usually use can only summon the entire beast soul, but the half-soul Horcrux can only summon a part of the beast. The sharp part is used as a hidden weapon. Some Horcruxes only need the useful part of the beast, while other parts are burdened. About five or six years ago, the master of the master of the Horcrux, Que Lingxing, created this kind of half-horcrux, creating a new There is a whole type of Horcrux, and since then many people have tried to emulate it, but very few have succeeded, so the price of half-horcrux is very high."
Jiang Chaoge said excitedly: "I don't know what good things will be this time."
The auctioneer took out a palm-sized white translucent... purse from the wooden box, yes, it looked like a small purse, and he said excitedly, "This auction item is of extremely high practical value among the half-horcruxes. The storage bag is made from the fish maw of the bighead carp, the carp is huge, and the maw of this carp is enough to hold a whole person!"
There was a commotion in the auction room.
Jiang Chaoge said in surprise, "The storage bag?"
The guard hurriedly said: "The first half-soul tool invented by Master Qu was a storage bag, using spirit power to summon half-souls, you can use the half-soul as a container, place some items, and then take the half-soul back into the horcrux. , you can also carry very heavy things with you, which is very convenient. Oh, but you can't put live things."
Jiang Chaoge's eyes lit up, this thing is good, how convenient.
Zhi Xuan also immediately said, "I want it, I want this, I want it full of wine."
The auctioneer quoted: "This storage bag has a starting price of two gold coins."
As soon as the quotation came out, the hall was suddenly quiet a lot. Two gold coins are not a small sum of money. It is worthwhile to spend such a sum of money to buy a bag for holding things. I really need to think carefully.
Someone called the price and said, "Two gold coins and two hundred silver coins."
"Two gold coins and five hundred silver coins."
"Two gold coins and seven hundred silver coins."
Jiang Chaoge exclaimed, "Three gold coins." As soon as he thought that he would embark on a journey immediately, having such a convenient "space bag" would save a lot of trouble. Anyway, he didn't plan to pay for it himself, so he had the cheek to let Yu Ren Just pay for it.
After adding three gold coins, the number of bidders with him decreased by more than half.
It was the first time Zhi Xuan experienced an auction, and he was so excited that he stood up directly on Jiang Chaoge's lap. Originally it was Jiang Chaoge who was bidding, but finally he shouted: "Three gold coins and five hundred silver coins, foolish people, you dare to rob me. thing-"
Everyone looked sideways, and saw a beautiful three- or four-year-old doll jumping up and down on a young man's lap, showing his teeth and claws, with a fierce look, but with that pink face, it was a bit ridiculous.
Jiang Chaoge smiled helplessly: "Ancestor, calm down."
Zhi Xuan said angrily, "That human dared to snatch my things and let me bite him to death." He wanted to jump up.
Jiang Chaoge took him back and forced him to sit down, "No one dares to grab it from you, that space bag must be ours." He shouted, "Four gold coins."
This time, no one followed the bid, and he took the bighead carp's storage bag for four gold coins.
The guard whispered: "Sir, use four gold coins to buy a storage bag..."
Jiang Chaoge said, "What's wrong?"
"Although your Highness is traveling, there are many servants, so it's your turn to worry about your luggage."
"I think this thing is very useful. Hey, have you brought enough money?"
The guard was stunned, "Huh?"
Jiang Chaoge looked at him with a smile, "If you don't have enough, go back and get it, or let them go to His Highness's palace to get it?"
The guards were dumbfounded. He probably didn't expect Jiang Chaoge to be so rude. He faltered and said, "Uh... this, okay, you wait a moment, my lord." He and another guard hid in the corner to discuss.
At the end of the auction, Jiang Chaoge only bought this storage bag, but he was very satisfied, so that he could throw all the animal materials that were inconvenient to carry into the storage bag, and then sell it when there was a chance.
The guard finally got the money from Yu Renshu and brought back the storage bag.
Jiang Chaoge looked at the small purse in his hand and was in a good mood. He injected his soul power, and immediately summoned a hollow fish bubble the size of half a car. The fish bubble was oval in shape, white and translucent, and had a faint smell of fish. The interior space was not small. It seems that it is not a problem to force two or three people.
Zhi Xuan's eyes lit up, "Let me in!"
Jiang Chaoge put him down.
Zhi Xuan got into the fish bubble, his little face flushed with excitement, and he touched the inner wall curiously. If it weren't for the face of the ancient alien beast, he would probably just roll. When he came out, he cried, "I'm going to fill it with wine."
Jiang Chaoge squatted down, "Lord Ancestor, let's have a good discussion, half of the space will be filled with wine for you, and the other half will be used for me."
Zhi Xuan thought for a while, "Okay."
Jiang Chaoge took back the storage bag, weighed the small purse, and thought that he could get a practical treasure without spending a penny, and the pleasure of taking a big advantage was enough for him to eat three bowls of rice.
Back at Yu Renshu's bedroom, Yu Renshu looked at him with a half-smile, "What good did you buy for four gold coins?"
Jiang Chaoge showed him the storage bag.
Yu Renshu said helplessly, "If you want this, I can get you a bigger one."
Jiang Chaoge smiled and said, "It's not as fun as grabbing it from someone else."
"It's more fun to grab it from someone else and not spend your own money."
Jiang Chaoge folded his hands and said with a smile, "Thank you, Your Highness."
"By the way, it will be the day of the festival in a few days, do you want to go and see it?"
"what is that?"
"It is the annual ceremony of the Tianling Kingdom to sacrifice to the sky, the ground, and the gods. It is a big day as important as the New Year. The ceremony of the imperial capital will be held in the Great Sacrificial Hall, which is the place where you first appeared."
"Oh, there." Jiang Chaoge didn't have a good impression of that place.
Zhi Xuan said: "Don't go, there will definitely be a lot of human beings, so annoying."
Jiang Chaoge just didn't want to go, so he took advantage of the situation and said, "I'm a foreigner, so I won't go."
"Alright."
Jiang Chaoge said cheekily: "His Royal Highness, there are so many new things in Aocheng this day. Before we leave, I just want to go around more. I don't know what year and month it will be when I come back next time." Hurry up and spend Yu Renshu's money desperately, he plans to buy himself a good dagger, after all, he is an expert at making daggers.
Yu Renshu didn't hear his voice, just nodded, "Then you can go shopping, but you must act with the guards."
"rest assured."
The people of the Imperial Capital began to prepare for the day of the Heavenly Sacrifice. There were folk sacrifices. Jiang Chaoge took Zhixuan around for a few days, and he gained a lot. Not only did he buy some interesting things, but he also paid tribute to the Tianling Continent. A little more understanding of the customs and customs.
On the day of the Heavenly Sacrifice, killing, meat, and color are prohibited. The people of the city attach great importance to this day, and the preparations are quite grand. Street vendors, jugglers, and snacks have disappeared, and many shops have closed ahead of time to prepare for the sacrificial activities. .
There was nothing to do outside, so Jiang Chaoge stayed in the dormitory to practice. Today, he finally decided to take the soul medicine.
The soul medicine was bitter and extremely difficult to swallow. Jiang Chaoge swallowed it, and then immediately used his soul power to walk around the large acupoints. After eating it, he felt a little hot in his body, and his soul power was about to move in his body, making him feel like he was about to boil. illusion. He successively made the soul power circulate repeatedly in the two and a half meridians he had opened up. In one afternoon, after he cycled a hundred times, he felt that his body became a little lighter than before, and his soul power seemed to have become heavier. This soul medicine is indeed a good thing, one is effective, and according to Yu Renshu, this kind of improvement effect on cultivation can last for a long time. It is worthy of being called "hard-to-find talent".
When Jiang Chaoge was resting, Zhi Xuan sat on the side and looked at him boredly. Jiang Chaoge told him not to disturb him while he was cultivating, so he often stayed by Jiang Chaoge's side like this, quietly accompany him to practice.
The sun is setting in the west, and the red glow fills half of the sky. It seems that there will be a heavy rain tomorrow.
Jiang Chaoge felt a little hungry, so he picked up Zhi Xuan, "Ancestor, let's go eat."
Zhi Xuan pouted, "You've been cultivating longer and longer."
"You should be happy, so that the day when you will appear in the real world will be closer."
Zhi Xuan nodded, but his expression was still not very happy.
As soon as the two of them walked out of the bed, they heard a panicked shout from the palace, Jiang Chaoge hugged Zhi Xuan and ran in the direction of the voice.
As soon as he walked into the courtyard, he saw Tian Rong appearing in front of him with his real body. The huge body almost filled the entire courtyard.
Jiang Chaoge also took two steps back in shock. He didn't know if Xie had lost his mind or not. All he knew was that he couldn't beat this heavenly beast. Although he has an unruly personality, he still listens to Yu Renshu's words. How could he appear in the palace alone in this form? What about Yu Renshu
When Tian Rong saw him, his amber eyes were full of anger and danger, "Something happened."
Jiang Chaoge was startled: "What happened to him?"
"He assassinated the Great National Teacher..."
