Chapter 248

"Master, who is this?" Asked the palace girl.

At this time, in addition to the two maids behind the girl, five guards dressed in strong clothes followed up. The first one was about 40 years old, with dark skin and capable color on his face. His eyes looked around from time to time.

"Princess, this is my good friend Shi mu, and this is princess yueni of Lushan Dynasty." Liu An said.

"Meet your highness, Princess of the moon." Shi Mu did not show any surprise and calmly saluted.

"Don't be polite. You are a good friend of guru Liu. Are you also an expert in treasure appraisal? " Princess yueni glanced at Shi Mu and the color on her shoulder and asked.

"Brother Shi is not very good at treasure identification, but he has some unique views on martial arts. By the way, I happen to have something to ask brother Shi for advice. Why don't we go together? " Liu'an road before Shi Mu opens his mouth.

"Oh, master, just help yourself." Princess Yue Ni immediately lost her interest and turned her eyes.

Shi Mu frowned slightly. He just wanted to say something, but suddenly there was a voice from Liu An.

Shi Mu was stunned. He glanced at the door of the attic and didn't speak immediately.

At this time, Princess yueni turned around, took the maid and guard behind her, crossed the long queue and walked directly to the entrance of Baoguang Pavilion.

Shi Mu and Liu An also followed the crowd and chatted casually. They looked like the escort of Princess yueni.

At the entrance of Baoguang Pavilion, a guard of Princess yueni showed a token, and the guards and Tongtian disciples at the door immediately released.

Shi Mu also followed Princess yueni and her party and directly entered the Baoguang Pavilion.

Before entering, he also noticed that it seemed that just entering the Baoguang Pavilion auction, he had to pay an admission fee for five inferior spirit stones.

This is nearly 200000 taels of silver. This alone has shut many people out.

According to his estimation, there are at least 10000 people entering Baoguang Pavilion today. Of course, many of them come to join in the fun and have a long experience, but the admission fee income alone is as much as tens of thousands of spirit stones.

Stepping into the first floor of Baoguang Pavilion, Shi Mu appears in front of him. It is a wide hall with gorgeous decoration and enough to accommodate nearly 10000 people. It is resplendent and extraordinary.

At this time, it was still early. There were only 500 or 600 people standing or sitting in the hall. Most of them gathered in groups to chat. Most of the people pouring in from the four entrances went upstairs through the stairs on both sides.

From the gossip just now, Shi Mu learned from Liu Ankou that before each immortal promotion auction, tianwu chamber of Commerce would set up many shops on the third to eighth floors of Baoguang Pavilion and rent them to various chambers of Commerce and sects gathered here. Although the rent is not cheap, it is often difficult to find one shop.

The reason is very simple. Those who can have the confidence to participate in the auction are naturally rich people. Those who want to come to the auction know that they can't afford to shoot the rare treasures at the auction. They often retreat to the second place and buy some other things before waiting for the auction.

In this way, it is conceivable that the business of these shops is booming.

"Wu business association is really good at making money this day." Shi Mu thought so.

Princess yueni and her party didn't stop much, and went directly from the side door channel to the private room on the second floor, which is reserved for some people with status.

Shi Mu said hello to Liu An and left alone in the hall on the ground floor.

After seeing several people disappear at the end of the corridor, he walked towards the stairs on the other side.

"Why did this man suddenly become the princess's auction adviser?" Cai'er askew her head and asked.

"Who knows! Don't mind other people's business. Let's go. " Shimudao.

He drew a lot of medium level talismans in this month. Apart from leaving a part of his body, most of the rest were exchanged for spiritual stones. Now he has five middle-grade spiritual stones and more than 120 lower grade spiritual stones, which are also of small value.

So he is also going to go upstairs to see if there is anything suitable for him.

A moment later, Shi Mu appeared at the entrance of the hall on the third floor.

Here is an open hall, which is more than 200 feet in size and looks quite spacious. The shops inside are neat and uniform. The hall is crowded. There are many people in each shop.

He drifted in the crowd for a moment, and then dived into a shop selling magic instruments.

……

An hour later, Shi Mu came out of a large pill shop on the sixth floor, with a faint color of excitement on his face.

He unexpectedly found Qianyang pill for sale in this shop.

Qianyang pill is also a kind of Zhiyang pill used to cultivate Yang attribute skills or techniques. It is much more expensive than JuYang pill. Each pill needs a inferior spirit stone, but the effect is much better than JuYang pill.

Considering the demon ape blood essence at the auction, he weighed it again and again, spent 20 inferior spirit stones and bought 20.

As long as the demon ape's blood essence is successful, he can begin to cultivate the sixth level of unborn determination.

Half an hour later, Shi Mu appeared in a shop selling ancient books on the seventh floor.

In addition to some common talismans, techniques, or ancient books and jade slips of Kung Fu, there are also many maps introducing Dongzhou.

After searching, Shi Mu spent more than 20 pieces of inferior Lingshi to buy a map of Dongzhou and a fire attribute warlock skill "fire Yuan Jing".

In addition to some common magicians' methods for cultivating mana, this skill also records several fire attribute techniques.

Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly found a dusty old animal skin drawing in the corner of the shelf, vaguely writing the words Xihe continent.

His heart moved and he immediately walked over.

……

Half an hour later, Shi Mu returned to the auction hall on the first floor.

At this time, it is not far from the beginning of the auction. Nearly 10000 people have gathered in the hall, almost full. The front rows are even more bustling and lively.

Shi Mu found an empty seat at the back, turned it over with one hand, took out an old animal skin drawing to check it, and looked it up with great interest.

It is the topographic map of Xihe continent found in the corner of the shop.

The map is rather rough. It just outlines the outline of Xihe continent and marks several places.

He bought this topographic map out of curiosity and wanted to confirm whether this continent really exists.

Suddenly, his eyes rested on a mountain in the center of the map.

According to the description in the picture, the peak is as high as ten thousand feet and the mountain is steep, just like a smooth stone column reaching to the sky. It is called "Lingtian peak".

Shi Mu's heart moved.

This description is very similar to the peak of the White Ape in his dream when he slept under the Xiaotian peak not long ago.

Just as he was about to study it again, a crisp copper bell rang in the whole hall.

Shi Mu looked up and found a large purple red wooden table on the round platform in the center of the hall. A middle-aged Confucian scholar with a long black beard was standing behind the wooden table.

His breath is as deep as the abyss. He is a strong man of the earth class!

"You friends from all over the world, it's a great honor to preside over this immortality promotion auction next day, Ouyang Lun, the guest Qing elder of the Wu chamber of Commerce." The middle-aged Confucian scholar said and arched his hands in all directions.

Although his voice was not loud, it was clearly transmitted to everyone in the audience, making the scene quiet immediately.

"As you all know, the grand ceremony of immortality promotion of Tongtian immortal cult is held every 30 years, and the auction of immortality promotion of our chamber of commerce is also held at this interval. It has been more than 50 years now. Every time, we have not disappointed friends from afar. This time is no exception. As usual, I'll show you the final treasure of this auction first. I believe many friends also come for this treasure. " The middle-aged Confucian scholar was very good at mobilizing the atmosphere. With a few words, he gathered everyone's eyes.

As soon as the middle-aged Confucian scholar's voice fell, the light in his hand flashed and a palm sized golden brocade box appeared.

He slowly opened the brocade box, and a fiery red stone the size of a nail lay quietly in the box.

There are dark red lines on the surface of the stone, which flicker slightly like life.

As a result, when Shi Mu saw what was in the brocade box, his heart jumped.

Isn't this the mysterious stone I found in the ruins of the secret place of the gate of the savage warrior? And it's much bigger than the stone in the brocade box. It's the size of a fist.

"Many friends have said it. Yes, it is a star stone. It is an ancient spirit stone that can stabilize the space channel. It has infinite uses. As for the starting price, it will be kept secret for the time being. " The middle-aged Confucian scholar twisted his long beard and said with a smile.

As soon as the voice fell, the whole hall immediately stirred up, and the voice became louder and louder. Those who knew something began to boast to the people around them, while those who knew nothing were asking around.

"OK, next, the first item at this auction." The middle-aged Confucian scholar was very satisfied with the atmosphere at the scene and said.

With that, he closed the brocade box of the star stone and put it on the table. The light in his hand flashed, and there was a section of purple dead wood with the thickness of an adult's calf.

"Centennial purple fragrant wood is produced in the depths of kunpan mountains in the south of the mainland where miasma and poisonous insects are rampant. It can accommodate a large amount of heaven and earth aura. It is a good material for refining top-grade Rune pens and can improve the success rate of runes by about 10%. The base price of this wood is 60 inferior spirit stones. Each time the price is increased, it shall not be less than 10 spirit stones. " The middle-aged Confucian scholar is not impatient.

Talisman is one of the most commonly used means against the enemy. Although the success rate has only increased by 10%, it still aroused the interest of many people.

"Seventy spirit stones!"

"Ninety dollars!"

"I'll give you a hundred dollars!"

……

After the price rose seven or eight times in a row, it was finally bought by a man dressed up in the door at the price of 190 inferior spirit stones.

As the price of the first auction was three times the starting price, the atmosphere at the scene suddenly warmed up.

Most of the next auctions are relatively rare things from the outside world. Shi Mu looked at one auction after another and was bought away. His face was calm, but his heart was silent. For the first time, he deeply realized how useful the spirit stone was. Whether it's top-grade magic tools, some rare pills, or some ancient works of skill, you can take them all at this auction as long as there are enough spirit stones. In addition, he also found that things about warlocks can often be sold at a high price. He witnessed a blue gem necklace that could increase the sensitivity of water attribute elements by two degrees. After more than ten times of bidding, it was finally photographed by Princess yueni in the second floor box at the amazing price of 2300 spirit stones. This is just an ordinary auction. Wouldn't the price of the star stone at the end be exaggerated? At the thought of the fist sized star stone in his storage ring, Shi Mu was inexplicably excited.
