Chapter 171 Baibao Pavilion
Zhou Chen walked in without hesitation and came to the first floor hall of the Treasure Pavilion. The Treasure Pavilion occupied a large area, and there were many containers on the first floor with many strange things. Zhou Chen did not look at those things, but looked towards the middle.
What is sold on this container are pills. There is one kind of pill on it that Zhou Chen recognizes. It is the Qi-Restoring Pill, which is also sold in the Demon Suppression Bureau. Its effect is that it can restore fifty years of skills within three breaths.
The price was not cheap, fifty taels per piece. Although it was expensive, the quality was guaranteed. Zhou Chen did not hesitate to buy two hundred pieces directly. Buying so many at one time, Zhou Chen was considered a big customer. The guy in charge of this container was also smiling on the spot and handed a token to Zhou Chen.
Zhou Chen took the token and asked puzzledly, "What is this?"
"This is the admission ticket to the auction. There will be an auction in three hours. There will be a lot of good things in the auction. If you are interested, you can take a look."
"Oh, really? Then you can go and take a look. But I want to sell some things and I don't know if your Treasure Pavilion can accept them."
After hearing his words, the waiter nodded immediately and took out a jade pendant to send a message. After a while, a charming woman found Zhou Chen.
"Sister Sun is the customer who wants to sell treasures."
"My name is Sun Zhilan, please follow me to the second floor."
Zhou Chen was invited by Sun Zhilan to go up to the private room on the second floor. "I wonder what treasure you want to sell, sir?"
Zhou Chen just flipped the book and several martial arts manuals appeared on the table. Sun Zhilan carefully took them all and looked at them and said, "These are all yellow-level martial arts manuals, not very valuable."
"It's okay as long as I can do it."
After hearing this, Sun Zhilan laughed and said, "Sir, these things of yours must have come from an illegal source, right?"
"Why can't the Treasure Pavilion be collected?"
"How could that be? How about this, add these things together and put them together for ten thousand taels?"
Zhou Chen agreed to his price on the spot without any bargaining. It just so happened that selling these things could offset the money he spent on buying the elixir.
Miss Sun then collected the things and handed a silver note for ten thousand taels to Zhou Chen, saying, "You can exchange this silver note for silver at any store outside. It's from a clean source."
After nodding and accepting the silver, Zhou Chen took out another long sword and said, "Give me an estimate of the price of this sword as well."
After Sun Zhilan took it, she looked at it and said, "This sword is a lower-grade Xuan-level weapon. How about ten thousand taels?"
Zhou Chen did not refuse. After receiving the silver, he rested in the private room for a while and then waited for the auction to begin. There are three floors in Baibao Pavilion and the auction was held on the third floor.
When Zhou Chen was waiting to come up, the room was already full of people. Zhou Chen found a seat and sat down. The area was divided into a general area and a high-end area. The general area had dozens of tables placed on an open space, with three chairs on each table.
The high-end area is in the private rooms on the second floor. Yes, this Treasure Pavilion has built another floor of private rooms above the third floor.
As the time arrived, the auction officially began. Everyone entering the black market was dressed in black and wore a mask, except for the staff of the Treasure Pavilion.
In addition, private fighting is prohibited in the black market. If you dare not follow the rules, you will bear the consequences at your own risk. Therefore, there is no need to worry about the things you buy at the auction being stolen. Of course, if you leave the black market, no one will care.
At this time, the first item was brought to the podium, and a woman with a strong aura began to introduce it.
This martial arts technique is called Nine Yang Jue. It is a top-grade Xuan-level martial arts technique that can cultivate fire-attributed true qi. The starting price is 10,000 taels. As soon as the words were spoken, people started bidding.
"Eleven thousand taels."
"Fifteen thousand taels." "Thirty thousand taels."
……
In the end, this martial arts book was sold at a price of 15000 taels, but Zhou Chen did not bid. Firstly, this martial arts book was incompatible with his true qi. Now he already has ice-attributed true qi, and the martial arts book can be changed but it must be of the same attribute.
Then there were more than a dozen items that were all good stuff, but Zhou Chen did not bid. Although he now had the Li family's assets, there was no need to buy things he didn't need.
Then another item was put on the auction table. The item was placed in a transparent glass bottle, and inside was a crow emitting a chilling aura.
The woman introduced that "this is the natal beast ice of the monster Snow Crow. After absorbing it, the quality of the true energy of warriors with ice attributes can be improved, which can greatly improve the strength of warriors. The starting price is ten thousand taels."
As soon as these words were spoken, someone immediately offered "fifty thousand taels". Zhou Chen was shocked when he heard this price. The beast ice of this monster was naturally incomparable to the Nine Nether Mysterious Ice. This alone caused a sensation. If it was the Mysterious Ice, wouldn't everyone be in an uproar, and there was even a possibility of snatching it away?
In the end, the beast ice was sold at a price of 110,000 taels. Two hours later, the auction came to an end. Just as Zhou Chen was about to leave, something caught his attention.
"A top-grade sword of the Ice-Jie Xuan level, with ice attribute attacks, can increase the attack power of the user's martial arts by 15%."
After hearing this, Zhou Chen couldn't help but say "good stuff". The starting price was 15,000 taels, and Zhou Chen directly asked for 30,000 taels. He was determined to get this knife.
Of course, he was not the only one who had ideas about this sword. As soon as the price of thirty thousand taels was called out, someone immediately raised the price. Zhou Chen had a lot of stock in his hands, so he immediately raised the price again. When the price was raised to fifteen hundred thousand taels, many people had already given up on this weapon.
But there were still people who raised the price with him, as if they were getting impatient and saying, “Brother, I want this one, you should look at something else.”
Zhou Chen ignored him and directly raised the price to two hundred thousand taels. After hearing this price, the other party wanted to increase the price, but was stopped by the person next to him.
He had no choice but to give up the competition, "Kid, be careful," and then ignored Zhou Chen. Zhou Chen ignored his threat. This guy had just entered the sixth level of strength, and Zhou Chen did not take him seriously at all.
Each of them has a unique mark on their mask. Although outsiders cannot recognize it, people in Baibao Pavilion can tell it apart. Otherwise, it would be embarrassing if someone claimed it later.
After Bing Jie made his move, the finale of the auction came. The last item was a yellow-grade top-grade magical weapon called the "Seven Treasures Exquisite Tower". This tower had seven floors and each floor had a magical power.
As for the specific functions, they need to be explored slowly after refining. The starting price of this item is 500,000 taels, but Zhou Chen is not very interested. The guy who bid with him before directly asked for "600,000 taels".
This price was already very high, and most people could only talk about it, but there were still a few powerful buyers, and in the end the item was sold for two million taels. The guy who bought the item was the one who competed with Zhou Chen for the Ice Solution.
With the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda being sold, the auction officially came to an end. Afterwards, the buyers who did not win any items left first, and the remaining buyers who had purchased the items were taken to private rooms separately.
After paying the silver, Zhou Chen also got his auction item, Ice Solution. After getting it, Zhou Chen couldn't help but pull it out and take a look. The moment it left his body, Zhou Chen could feel that his strength increased by 15%. Zhou Chen did not release his true energy, but the temperature in the room had dropped by more than ten degrees.
