The invitation in Kong Ming's hand was personally sent by Ji Honggao, the eldest young master of "Changlong". Now, only three days have passed since the reception banquet was held, and Ji Honggao sent the invitation again. The post was really a bit too enthusiastic.
However, this time Ji Hong's invitation was not a banquet, but an invitation to Kong Ming to participate in an auction organized by "Changlong"!
As we all know, the largest auction house in the imperial capital is an industry under the "Changlong", and the "Wanbao Fair" held every three years can be said to be the highest-grade auction in the Cangnan Empire, absolutely crowning the entire Liangzhou, and even the rest of the There are also many buyers from various states who specially come to Biluo City at this time for fear of missing such a grand event.
Treasures such as emperor-level skills, heavenly materials and earthly treasures, top-level Yuan weapons and spiritual weapons have all appeared in the "Wanbao Society", and every time a treasure is auctioned, it will make the "Wanbao Society" more famous. !
Since it can successfully hold the "Wanbao Fair", it can be seen how strong "Changlong" is in the auction industry. Although the current time is not the time to hold the "Wanbao Fair", an auction house as big as "Changlong" cannot just hold the "Wanbao Fair". There will also be auctions of various sizes on weekdays. The auction is held. There will even be some "dark field" auctions, open only to some special guests.
The invitation Kong Ming received this time was to invite him to participate in the "dark field" auction.
The invitation has stated that the scale of this auction is not particularly large, but there are many good things in the auction, and there are even a few items that can help Yuan Jiang level practitioners break through their cultivation bottlenecks. of rare treasures.
Such an auction will be of great interest to cultivators who are still in the realm of Yuan Jiang. Especially for people like Kong Ming, who has just broken through to the realm of the first-level Yuan Jiang, even if they can’t use those rare treasures that break through the bottleneck of cultivation for the time being, what about in the future? Besides, in addition to the rare treasures that break through the bottleneck, there are also many elixirs in the auction catalog that are indispensable for Yuanjiang-level practitioners in their cultivation process!
And wouldn't these pills be attractive to a newly promoted junior general like Kong Ming
Holding this invitation, Kong Ming felt a very special feeling, as if such an auction was held specifically for him. Taking out so many things that are attractive to Yuanjiang-level practitioners in one breath is like waving to Kong Ming, saying that here is the rare treasure you urgently need, please come here quickly!
Such an auction seems too strongly arranged by Keyi. Why would Keji Honggao do this? It’s not like he deliberately set a trap for Kong Ming to jump into, right
As long as Ji Honggao's head wasn't caught in the door, he wouldn't do such a stupid thing!
Could it be that Ji Honggao wanted to get closer to Kong Ming, so he held such an auction? But if you really want to flatter Kong Ming, why not just send over the exotic treasures Kong Ming needs? Why bother with an auction
The only normal explanation is that Ji Honggao invited Kong Ming to participate in this auction for some special purpose!
Kong Ming took the invitation and thought about it for a moment before calling Lei Ming over and telling him to write a reply to Ji Honggao, saying that he would attend the "dark field" auction on time in two days.
Kong Ming really wanted to see what Ji Honggao wanted to do when he played such a trick.
The time soon came two days later, and this time Kong Qingyi did not go with Kong Ming to attend the auction. After all, his main task at the moment was to stay in the inner world of the ancestor of the Kong family to practice. According to the wishes of the founder of the Kong family, if Kong Qingyi cannot break through to the marshal level in one go, he will not be easily released to take charge of various affairs of the Kong family. Anyway, Kong Qingyi accompanied Kong Ming to the reception banquet last time, which showed how he supported Kong Ming. After that, naturally there was no need to follow Kong Ming all the time.
Of course, although Kong Qingyi did not go to the auction with Kong Ming, the head of the family, Kong Fanshu, knew that Kong Ming was going to attend the auction, so he sent someone to tell Kong Ming that if he saw anything at the auction, he could just ask for it and buy it, no limit!
With the financial resources of the Kong family, as long as it is something valuable, what can't be bought
Kong Fanshu also expressed his support for Kong Ming in this way. Therefore, when Kong Ming went to participate in the auction this time, he felt extremely relaxed. As for those who accompanied Kong Ming, in addition to Mo Yue and Mo Fei brothers and sisters, they were also Lei Ming and several demon clan guards.
Now this group of people has become Kong Ming's personal team. Kong Ming usually takes them with him when he goes out. If anything happens, they can be easily called upon.
The place where "Changlong" holds the auction is called Jubao Mountain. It is very close to Fangshan Mountain. It is only separated by a mountain top. It is also a branch of the edge of the Dishan Mountain Range. "Changlong" relied on its huge financial resources to transform Jubaoshan into a hollow mountain like Fangshan. Of course, Jubao Mountain is still much smaller than Fangshan in terms of scale, but even so, "Changlong" has carved out ten floors of space in Jubao Mountain and set up ten auction halls of different sizes. Make reasonable arrangements according to the size of the meeting.
Since Kong Ming had already seen Fang Mountain, the shock that Jubao Mountain brought to him was naturally not particularly great. However, the first floor of Jubaoshan, which is the largest auction hall, looks a bit scary in size. It is said that the auction hall on the first floor will only be opened when the "Wanbao Fair" is held. It can accommodate more than 10,000 people. It will take at least ten days and a half to hold the entire auction. as long as.
This time it was a "dark field" auction. According to Ji Honggao, only a hundred people were invited in total. Naturally, there was no need to use a large auction venue. Instead, a private venue on the top floor was chosen.
Due to the limited scale of this private venue, it can only accommodate more than a hundred people at a time, but the confidentiality measures are very good. The various auction seats are scattered so that you can't see each other at all. Since it is a "dark field" auction, naturally such a place is the most practical.
What Ji Honggao prepared for Kong Ming was one of the largest private rooms in this private venue, which was enough for Kong Ming to bring Mo Yue, Lei Ming and others in. Moreover, when Kong Ming came, Ji Honggao welcomed him out very politely, and even said that Kong Ming's arrival made this auction more exciting.
Kong Ming did not point out that Ji Honggao had any ulterior motives, but just exchanged polite greetings with him and took Mo Yue and others into the private room. Although Ji Honggao is the organizer of this "dark field" auction, according to the rules of the auction industry, even the organizer cannot enter the guests' private rooms. Such regulations are naturally to protect the privacy of guests.
Ji Honggao put a lot of effort into entertaining Kong Ming. The private room assigned to Kong Ming was located on the top floor and he could overlook the entire auction venue. Participating in the auction from such a position, the momentum alone is enough to overwhelm the opponent!
Some special materials are used on the four walls of the private room so that the breath in the private room will not leak out, and it is naturally impossible for outsiders to sense what is going on in the private room. However, considering that Ji Honggao probably had another purpose in holding this "dark field" auction, it was probably not a secret that Kong Ming was in that private room.
The auction venue gradually became lively, and it was obvious that people participating in this "dark field" auction had already entered the venue one after another. However, in this venue, even if it is not a private room, the surroundings are closed, and the auctioneer's figure and appearance will not be revealed. Therefore, even if Kong Ming could see the whole place from his position, he didn't know who actually participated in this auction.
With the sound of the gong, a middle-aged auctioneer with a capable look on his face walked up to the auction seat in high spirits. He was obviously the auctioneer presiding over the auction.
After the middle-aged auctioneer stood on the auction seat, he saluted everyone around him, and then said politely: "Welcome all distinguished guests to this auction. In order to save everyone's precious time, and to reflect the purpose of this auction, What’s different is that our auction this time will go directly to the theme! I believe this first auction item is enough to make everyone’s eyes shine.”
As soon as the auctioneer finished speaking, a pretty maid walked up to the auction seat holding a brocade plate. On top of the brocade plate, there was a white jade porcelain vase!
As expected, the auctioneer didn't buy into it, but said straight to the point: "As you can see, our first auction item is a bottle of high-grade elixir. In the jade bottle in front of you, there are five high-quality elixirs." Na Yuan Pill is definitely rare in the world. The starting price is three thousand gold coins! Please note that there are five Na Yuan Pills of the highest quality in the bottle, and the starting price is only three thousand gold coins!"
The so-called Nayuan Pill is an extremely important elixir for Yuanjiang-level practitioners, because the function of Nayuandan is to increase the cultivation speed of Yuanjiang-level practitioners. After taking a Nayuan Pill, within the validity period of the medicine, even a high-level Yuan General can increase his cultivation speed by one to two percent. If he is a junior Yuan General, even if his cultivation speed is doubled, it is not impossible. .
Five high-quality Nayuan Pills are enough for a junior Yuan General for a year. If he is a junior general who has just been promoted, he only needs one Nayuan Pill to completely consolidate his realm!
In this "dark field" auction, the first auction item was this elixir. Isn't that enough to show that it was specially set up for Kong Ming
