Chapter 951: Ink Gold
Han Li sat in a remote corner of the main hall, coldly looking at the main hall more than a hundred feet away directly in front of him, a middle-aged man wearing a soap robe was holding a piece of yellowish crystal in his hand, briefly introducing the object.
”Turmeric crystals, produced in the western desert of the Southern Border, only in the sand under a thousand feet can be found, the material is hard, and can be a large number of earth attribute aura, is the refining of earth attribute magic treasure of the best materials. The base price of this item is eight thousand spirit stones, and each increase shall not be less than one thousand.” This is responsible for presiding over the auction of the cultivator is a YuanYing middle stage cultivator, the voice is not urgent, not slow, also does not have any more exaggerated words.
However, this is quite normal, if a low-ranking cultivator is being watched by hundreds of YuanYing level cultivators at the same time, the huge invisible pressure is enough to make this person’s mind be taken away, and he or she is simply unable to speak.
Han Li carefully sensed, this person is a YuanYing middle peak cultivation, in the auction did not find YuanYing late cultivators, this person can be said to be the highest cultivation in the temple cultivators, so preside over this auction, there will not be who dared to wantonly disrupt.
And this piece of turmeric crystal, although it is refining earth attribute magic treasure good material, but there is no enthusiastic bidding scene, only a few three or four people out of a few times outside the price, was a nameless cultivator to twelve thousand spirit stones to take.
The auction of the other items below was also carried out in a similarly nonchalant manner.
Han Li sat in his chair and watched all of this with an unusually calm and unsurprised expression.
This auction was going to last for several days in a row, and the items taken out on the first day naturally couldn’t be anything too good. Although these materials were considered rare relative to the average YuanYing cultivator, as long as they were willing to spend time, they could be collected outside the auction as well, so most of the people in the hall right now wouldn’t be competing for this item except for those who really needed it. But in the end, today will still come up with a few good things, so that we continue to participate in the second day of the auction interest.
Thinking this way in his heart, Han Li naturally will not put his mind to the auction, just lazily pay attention to the many YuanYing cultivators in the hall, although these people are only a small portion of the top-ranking cultivators of the Great Jin, but represents the various sizes of the forces of the Great Jin, no matter whether it is righteousness and devilry have both.
What caught his attention the most was the three big monks with shiny brains sitting in the middle of the hall.
One of these three monks was as thin as a wood, one was fat, and the last one had kind eyebrows and a long white beard. All three were dressed in gray monk’s clothes, with their heads bowed and eyes down, looking like accomplished monks.
This is the first time Han Li saw the Buddhist high level cultivators, naturally more than looked at two eyes, the result of sitting in the middle of the oldest old monk, immediately have a sense of the direction of Han Li looked at the same, although the gaze calm and warm, Han Li still can not help but heart a bit of a shock.
This old monk’s sense of God is so sensitive, Buddhism in the Jin Dynasty can and Taoism and Confucianism side by side, really some ghost doorway. Han Li does not want to innocently cause the other party’s hostility, immediately withdrew his divine sense, his face appeared as if nothing had happened.
And the old monk’s eyes in Han Li body after a turn, color unchanged and returned to the original appearance.
In addition to these monks in the hall, other peculiar-looking cultivators are many, Han Li secretly against the master of the Great Jin cultivation of various forces of information, one by one to confirm, try to remember these people, may have some use in the future.
Along with a piece of items shot away, time also a little bit of the past, just as Han Li expected, in the late approaching, finally began to appear some rare treasures, the original calm and wave-free crowd of cultivators, immediately stirred up.
After several treasures in a row were fiercely competed for and auctioned off at amazing sky-high prices, the atmosphere immediately became somewhat hot. After all, for the sake of their own needs, YuanYing level cultivators mostly won’t care to spend some more spirit stones, otherwise missing this opportunity, relying on their own to collect and seek, it’s not necessarily a matter of monkey years and months.
”A piece of ink gold, weighing three pounds and four taels, a rare material for refining weapons, the base price is thirty thousand spirit stones, one increase shall not be less than two thousand.” The more rare treasures, presiding over the auction middle-aged cultivator, the more simple and unusual explanation, at the moment he held up a jade disk, on which was placed a piece of black like ink but hidden gold aura flickering odd metal.
Has been smiling Han Li, once heard this word body suddenly tense, eyes flashed through the color of surprise. So quickly appeared the required materials, this can be out of his expectations. Ink gold this material, he had been looking for a long time, but had been unable to acquire it.
”Thirty-six thousand!”
”Forty thousand!”
”Forty-five thousand spirit stones!”
……
Ink Gold’s reputation is really not small, know more people, Han Li has not yet bid, the auctioneer’s eyes on the stage swept under, there have been people reported several high prices in succession.
Han Li heard a frown, but also do not panic bidding, this thing is bound to get, or wait until the price to the highest point and then scramble.
When this piece of ink gold by an unknown cultivator shouted to the high price of 60,000 spirit stones, originally still stalking closely followed by a few people came to an abrupt end.
”Sixty-five thousand!” Han Li pointed toward the jade tablet in front of him, and after the spiritual light on it flickered, he reported a price under his breath.
”Sixty-seven thousand spirit stones!” That person also seemed to really need this item, hesitating for a moment or bidding over Han Li.
”Seventy thousand!” Han Li’s voice was emotionless.
This time, the bidding cultivator fell silent. Even though Ink Gold was rare, bidding so many Spirit Stones was just a bit too high, and he instantly and decisively gave up.
Seeing this, Han Li smiled faintly.
The middle-aged cultivator who presided over the auction at the front saw that this item was sold at such a high price, and was already greatly satisfied in his heart, but still repeated this price twice in accordance with the usual practice, and was about to confirm the success of the auction after asking for the third time, when suddenly another cold bidding increase came.
”Seventy-five thousand!”
Han Li and the middle-aged cultivator presiding over the auction froze, and most of the other cultivators in the auction room were also surprised.
”Eighty thousand!” Han Li immediately returned to normal and opened his mouth without thinking.
”Eighty-two thousand!” The old man did not move to bid once again, this person actually and Han Li general, a look of this object is bound to get.
This time, not only did Han Li’s face change slightly, the other cultivators also couldn’t help but sweep their gazes over.
Only to see the eyes of the crowd, the hall slightly behind the position, a body is covered by a light black mist of the cultivator quietly sitting there, can not see the real face half, but from the vaguely visible clothing seems to seem, seems to be an old man.
Han Li’s heart wondered, but did not have the heart to spend a little more and the other side, face sunk under, suddenly said a let the whole field of cultivators heart shocked price.
”One hundred and twenty thousand spirit stones!”
As soon as this price was exported, the other cultivators in the hall all showed odd colors. With this amount of spirit stones, one could buy a nice ancient treasure, which simply far exceeded the normal price of Ink Gold.
After a commotion, there were quite a few cultivators who couldn’t help but glance towards Han Li’s side, but Han Li, who had changed his appearance, was just a sickly-looking yellow-faced cultivator, so naturally there wouldn’t be anyone who recognized him.
Han Li turned a blind eye to the others, always keeping an eye on the black gas shrouded old man’s every move.
That old man was obviously also taken aback when he heard such a high price. If it was possible, he would definitely offer a higher price to compete with Han Li for the Ink Gold, but according to his information, there was another more important material that would appear below, and if he spent this much spirit stone, he would not be sure to secure another material, and then the loss would be even greater. Moreover, looking at the other side of the breath to mention the price of such a high point, clearly will not easily stop.
After some calculations in his mind, the old man finally did not bid again, so this material, finally fell into the hands of Han Li, but in this way, Han Li and the old man naturally attracted the attention of the people who are interested.
But Han Li is okay, the following is just sitting in a chair with his eyes closed, it seems that after the ink gold to the hand, it is no longer interested in other things look.
That old man but in the following a called “away from the fire sand” on the more rare materials, and a large group of all look on this material on the crowd of cultivators after some scrambling, actually more than two hundred thousand high price will be purchased into the hands of this thing.
The old man out so generous, naturally more attention.
This is not to say that this auction, the old man is the cultivator who spends the most spirit stones. The high grade ancient treasures, cultivation enhancing pills, and several other treasures that were auctioned at the end were almost each around 200,000 to 300,000 dollars. But purchasing a weapon refining material for just over two hundred thousand was still reminiscent of something that no ordinary cultivator could do.
After the first day’s auction ended, Han Li mixed in with the crowd of cultivators and left the auction house, but at the exit of the marketplace, the few Yin Luo Sect cultivators had long since disappeared, seemingly dead in the water.
Han Li spared a smile and left the marketplace unhurriedly, heading for his residence.
What Han Li didn’t know was that the black gas-covered old man had left the marketplace, but had quietly appeared in an inconspicuous residence somewhere in Jinjing. That Ye Family’s Wu Guan old man was actually waiting for this person in one of the rooms.
Upon seeing the crowned old man, the one who participated in the auction, without saying a word, handed over the bag of “Fire-Reliant Sand” that had been put up for auction.
”I already know about the ‘Ink Gold’ matter, I have to thank Fellow Daoist Gao for making this trip. I didn’t expect that someone would pay such a high price for this item, otherwise I would have asked you to bring some more spirit stones over. Good thing in this thing, ink gold, a few days after the underground auction house also someone exchange this thing, otherwise there is really some trouble. I’ve already inquired about the exchange materials and prepared them for you, so I’ll have to trouble you to go over there.” As soon as the crowned old man received the material, he said with a smile.
”Hehehe, Brother Yun Yi really gave me too many spirit stones at one time, I’m afraid that Mister Gao won’t be able to hold on to them. This time it was just an accident, it is reasonable to say that the spirit stones prepared beforehand are more than enough. A few days later at the Underground Trade Fair, I will go over there myself.” The old man surnamed Gao returned with two dry smiles.
”I am naturally relieved that Fellow Daoist Gao is doing his work. This is the spirit dan that I prepared for fellow Daoist, after this matter is over, the number of spirit dans will still be doubled.” The crowned old man nodded with satisfaction and pulled out a jade box from his storage pouch, handing it to the other party.
”Good, fellow Daoist is so trustworthy, I will do my best in these few days.” The old man with the surname Gao examined the spirit pills in the box under great joy and nodded repeatedly with satisfaction before receiving a storage bag full of spirit stones and a jade slip memorizing the information about the materials that needed to be auctioned and purchased tomorrow from the Wu Crown old man, and then excused himself and left.
