Vol 43 Chapter 61: :Auction

At 9 o'clock in the evening, the lakeside dormitory, in Su Xiao's residence.
The light in the room is bright, and there are various kinds of food on the table. Although it is not richer than the morning banquet, it also makes people appetite.
Bennie, Green Wei, and Lady Luck are enjoying a delicious supper. To be precise, it was Bennie who invited her friend, Lady Luck, to have a supper, and Green Wei was the one who had a meal.
Before, Goddess of Luck was unfamiliar with Su Xiao, who was disguised as a holy flame pharmacist, so even knowing that Benny was in the next room would not be embarrassed to come, but today I got acquainted with Benny’s invitation and naturally came.
Su Xiao didn't enjoy a delicious meal, he was sitting on the sofa with an ancient book of pharmacy and a cup of tea. It was half of the night at first glance.
For any skill beyond the reach of others, the process of mastering it must pay a corresponding price, or resource cost, or time cost. For example, Su Xiao’s pharmacy, relying solely on the inheritance of alchemy secrets is not enough. Put enough effort into it.
When there was no title bonus before, Su Xiao could have an ancient book and a cup of tea. It was a whole day at a glance, not to mention the title blessing right now. That's right, the promotion of the six-star title [Ancient Scholar] has been completed. Advanced:
【Ancient Scholar】
Place of Origin: Reincarnation Paradise
Quality: ★★★★★★★
Tip: After the title is upgraded to the ultimate quality, a feature decision can be made. This decision will be related to the final attribute bias of the title.

...
[Ancient Scholar] After being promoted to the title of Seven Stars, the gain intensity has undergone a qualitative change. The first is the "scholar" passivity. After triggering this passivity, Su Xiao felt that when he mastered the knowledge of pharmacy, his efficiency increased more than tenfold. That's right, it's such an exaggeration.
As for the second passive "inspiration", this is simply tailor-made for the interpretation of the Alchemy Secret Code. With the profundity and mystery of the Alchemy Secret Code, every time it is read, Su Xiao can use the title of "Ancient Scholar" to enhance a lot of spirit. Strength.
What's even more wonderful is that the efficiency of Su Xiao's interpretation of the Alchemy Secret Code depends on the strength of the spiritual power. The higher the spiritual power, the more knowledge imprints that can be interpreted at a time.
The more imprints of knowledge in a single interpretation, the "enlightenment" passive effect of [Ancient Scholars] will bring about a greater permanent increase in mental strength. In this way, a snowball effect is formed, an interpretation of the Alchemy Secret Code. Faster and faster, so that the knowledge level of pharmacy and explosives is getting higher and higher.
In addition to this gain, Su Xiao also discovered that the title of [Ancient Scholar] has another different characteristic.
[Ancient Scholar] The initial star rating of the title is six stars, and its level can be increased up to three times by conventional burning methods. That is to say, the limit of [Ancient Scholar] is the nine-star title.
After the [Ancient Scholar] is promoted to the nine-star title, you can choose a feature. From the current attributes of the [Ancient Scholar] title and the content given in the introduction, there should be two final choices for this title.
1. Knowledge intake limit gain.
2. Gain gain in the knowledge acquisition of the mystery system.
Of the two branch routes, Su Xiao naturally prefers the first one. No matter how you look at it, the second option reveals the style of the ancient gods and the atmosphere of evil. The brief introduction to the title of maddening rationality has already hinted this.
"How do you understand these ancient books? I can recognize the ancient words on them, but they are too obscure when they are connected."
The Goddess of Luck sitting on the opposite sofa spoke, and also picked up the ancient book on the tea table to read. The result became more and more confusing.
"Meow."
Bennie jumped on Su Xiao’s lap, looking aggrieved, meaning that Goddess of Luck asked him to play animal chess after eating supper. Bennie was very confident about this. She used to compete with Bubwang, Eminem, and Ba. Ha played chess, and Bennie won nine in ten, but she lost terribly today.
"Mr. Sheng Yan, how many games of animal chess shall we play?"
The goddess of luck placed the chessboard on the tea table. Seeing this, Su Xiao did not put down the ancient book in his hand.
"I'm not good at chess and card games."
"It's boring to be idle, it's only after nine o'clock in the evening."
"..."
Su Xiao didn't speak.
"Mr. Shengyan, do you think you have no bargaining chip for winning or losing? Then we have 10 soul coins per plate?"
"Forget it."
"Oh~? Mr. Shengyan, you are not afraid of losing to me, are you."
Goddess of Luck smiled as she spoke, and when she heard this, Su Xiao squeezed with one hand and closed the book in her hand.
Two hours later, Goddess of Luck bit the nail of her thumb and stared at the chessboard. The look of "this is impossible" on her face was written directly on it. In a game of 10 soul coins, she lost more than 300 souls. Coins, no wonder she doubts life so much.
"Damn it, just one step away from winning."
The goddess of luck packed up the chess pieces angrily, and then took a long sigh of relief, and said: "Unfortunately, I can't go to Anna and the others to play chess recently. Hey, why did I offend that guy."
After speaking, the goddess of luck sighed with a look of lovelessness.
"Who did you offend?"
Su Xiao spoke like a chatter.
"I..." The Goddess of Luck hesitated, and then said discouragedly: "Actually, I offended a Dharma Exterminator. You should have heard of him. It is said that he is the only Dharma Exterminator left."
"Oh? What grudges do you have with that extinction?"
Hearing this, the goddess of luck on the opposite side was discouraged. She smiled a little embarrassedly: "Basically speaking, I actually blame me. When I found out about the extinction, he was still new to extinction. Why did I offend him at the time? He, am I crazy, and why does he become stronger so fast."
Speaking of this, Goddess of Luck was a bit mad, she continued to confide in her and said,
It’s too late to apologize. I can feel that the death of the law is not going to pack me up and die. He is staring at me for other reasons. , It's over, I was caught up by a growing-up Die Fa.
"So, you don't have a deadly enemy?"
"Of course not. Based on the level of grudges that kill the Fa, if you have a mortal feud with them, there is a high probability that you will do nothing, find me wherever you are all day long, and kill me."
Goddess of Luck sighed weakly at the end.
"I recognize that extinction, he is one of my old customers, maybe I can mediate from it."
"Really!"
The goddess of luck on the opposite side suddenly became excited.
"Of course."
"If you can help me through this level, I must thank you very much."
There was a bit of joy in the eyes of the goddess of luck, and she didn't know what she would look like when she discovered the truth.
After the goddess of luck left and returned to the next room, Su Xiao glanced at the time, it was almost eleven.
Tomorrow is the second day of the Austrian law celebration, but the assassin who made an appointment at Dead Ash Bunker did not move at all. This makes Su Xiao wonder if the assassin sent there hasn’t waited for him to get close to him. The casters of Eternal Star were dealt with.
If this is the case, although it has no effect on the overall plan, after the incident is over, Su Xiao has to go to the Dead Ash Bunker again. If the money is collected and nothing is done, he must be accounted for.
Su Xiao went back to his bedroom to rest. The early morning came the next day. He used the conveyor to go to the island of the lake by himself and began to check whether the various equipment and the solar solution in the underground laboratory were stable.
Su Xiao’s move was naturally passed to Sephylia by the caster who monitored the island in the heart of the lake. In this regard, Sephylia did not give any attitude. Su Xiao is the deployment and user of this underground laboratory. , To check the equipment here regularly, it is natural that there is no problem.
When the sky dimmed, the Arcane Eternal Star, who had been busy for another day, recovered a bit of silence. At the same time, Su Xiao's door was knocked.
After opening the door, Su Xiao saw Caesar in disguise and all three outside the door.
"The auction started on time at 8 o'clock, and it's almost 7 o'clock. Let's get in early."
Momo is very interested in this auction, or that this guy is very interested in the 600,000 soul coins from the white prostitute.
The group boarded the rail train, and when they arrived at the "Li Guang Manor," it was almost half past seven.
The entire Liguang Manor, said to be a manor, is actually a complex of buildings, divided into four major areas in total. Su Xiao walked to the second half of the Liguang Manor, entered a magnificent building, and passed a long way In the corridor, as the servant opened the heavy dark red curtain, Su Xiao arrived at the auction venue.
The entire venue can accommodate more than a hundred people. Although it is large, the seats are not neatly arranged. This seemingly messy furnishings makes people feel at ease. It is said that it is an auction venue, but it is not a traditional stepped style. Seats, here is more like a banquet hall.
As for VIP rooms or VIP seats, Su Xiao didn't see it. As soon as he arrived at the venue, a waiter greeted him and issued him a number plate to represent his table. This is obviously a first-come-first-served basis. .
This auction is not possible for everyone. The threshold was originally set high enough, that is, more than a hundred people participated, and it is inevitable that people will be disgusted if they make rules and regulations on this.
Su Xiao was seated not too far from the stage, with Caesar, Toad and Violent Rat beside him.
Beni first climbed onto Su Xiao's shoulders, then jumped onto its exclusive special seat, which is Su Xiao's head, and began to look around.
"Meow."
Beni called out, which meant that Su Xiao looked to the right. Su Xiao looked in the direction that Beni had expressed, and several old friends came into view.
The first thing Su Xiao saw was a flowing dress, also looking at the saint on his side.
Almost the moment when the eyes met, the Saintess looked away calmly, as if he hadn't seen Su Xiao. The reason for this was that she still owed Su Xiao 250 soul crystal nuclei, and she was very guilty.
In the seat in front of the Saintess, there is the head of the group wearing a metal mask, and the white bull is next to him.
Nello, who was still drinking with a bottle of wine at the dinner last night, has now recovered his behaved appearance, after all, Bai Niu is by the side.
In addition to the three people in the star constellation, Su Xiao also saw a lot of familiar faces, such as the old immortal of the Yu clan, and the younger generation of the Yu clan sitting around him, that is, the two sisters and brothers of Yao Yi and Yu Li.
Looking forward, it is the old immortal Walpole of the Demon Race, and around him are Mond, Lilim, Lilith, and Yaba who participated in this fighting skill competition.
Sin Yas and Ona were also there, and they came quite early and they were very close to the front.
Su Xiao's gaze turned to the other side, and the tree sage was the first to see. In addition, there were several pharmacists of the older generation who were his contemporaries. They found that Su Xiao cast their sights. These older pharmacists were polite. Xing said hello, Su Xiao also raised his hand to respond.
In addition to these people, Su Xiao also saw Sefelia, King Howling, and others. In the seat between the two, there was an old woman with a thin stature. Her eyes were pitch black, the kind of pure black. As if to swallow all light.
On the old woman’s forehead, there are a total of five holes thick for the index finger, and the inside of the holes is pitch black. Not only that, these holes are arranged neatly and spread to both sides of the head. A conservative estimate is that the old woman has at least a dozen holes on her head. Hole.
Undoubtedly, this must be the Eternal Arcane Star·One of the four leaders of Juwen Gewu, that is, Lord Soul.
Seeing this person, Su Xiao felt that the strength of the opponent's soul should have reached an almost unthinkable level, much higher than his own.
Thinking that the other party is the leader of the Arcane Eternal Star·Soul Faction, Su Xiao is not surprised by this. He has such a high soul strength because of his natural ability, and the other party is specialized in this aspect.
Counting Lord Soul, among the four leaders, Su Xiao has already met three, and only the Gu Ya Dean of Zhongshi Academy has not met.
Su Xiao looked at the corner diagonally behind, and a figure was sitting there alone. It was Wood's sister, and she didn't know where Wood was.
After a while, the auction hall was full of seats, and noisy chatter was endless. When the time reached eight o'clock, the lights in the hall went out, leaving only a row of small lights on the top of the stage curtain in front.
Under some dim lights, the curtain was opened to both sides, and with a click, a beam of light was reflected in the center of the stage, reflecting the host.
When I took a closer look, the host standing on the stage, the auctioneer tonight, was actually Wood. Then I thought about it. This is normal. There are ten auctions in the void, and eight of them are hosted by the demons. The aura is too suitable.
"Welcome to participate in this auction..."
Wood spoke, his voice spread throughout the venue, and just when everyone thought he was going to have an opening remark, his second sentence turned:
"I declare that the beginning of this auction, the first thing that will be brought to you is a miracle."
As soon as Wood finished speaking, a waiter came onto the stage with a tray on the side. On the tray was an old money bag. Not only was it dirty, it looked like it had been swallowed by a beast and was eroded by stomach acid.
The moment this purse came to power, Su Xiao found that Caesar's eyes were straight on the side.
"My dear friend, no matter how much money, I will buy this thing."
What Caesar said was that even if the bid price exceeded the share he deserved this time, he would pay for the soul coin at his own expense. It can be said that he would win this thing regardless of the cost.
"This object was discovered by scavengers on the ancient battlefield. After identification, this object is called the ancient purse. It connects to an ancient treasure house, but because the purse itself is cursed, it can only be opened every three days..."
After Wood’s explanation, Su Xiao understood the function of [Ancient Purse]. In short, this thing can be opened once every three days. After opening it, he either takes out the treasure from the inside or is cursed, and his luck is particularly bad. If it does, the evil spirits, ghosts, etc. in the connected treasure vault may also be released.
Someone tried to find the ancient treasure house using this purse as a coordinate before, but found that it was almost impossible. The ancient treasure house is located in an "unknown place." The unknown place is too erratic and difficult to detect, and more importantly Yes, there are a lot of emptiness there.
If you encounter ordinary emptiness and alien existence, it's all about running away, and there is still some vitality, if you encounter the frenzy of Maosheng, the lord of the old day, and the candle girl, it will be over.
"The first lot is 5,000 soul coins at a low price. You are free to bid."
As soon as Wood's words fell, an inverse tooth tribe bid 8,000 soul coins, but in the next second, Yu Li, a genius boy of the Feather tribe, bid 10,000 soul coins, which shows that the Feather tribe is still very rich.
"100,000!"
As soon as Caesar said this, the venue suddenly became quiet. Taking advantage of the atmosphere, Wood on the stage did not call 3.2.1 category at all. In other words, the auctioneer could actually drop the hammer without shouting, as long as the bidders bid high enough. .
Bang~
"The deal, the ancient purse was bought by this customer."
Wood just dropped the hammer on the stage, and the tree sage who was about to raise his placard froze, his old face appeared a little suspicious and puzzled.
To say that Caesar and Wood did not collude secretly, Su Xiao absolutely did not believe it, but this matter did not involve the use of goblin checks.
Facts have proved that Caesar quietly contacted Wood, and it was necessary to engage in such a hand. If the tree sage reacted, with the old guy's financial resources, Caesar would have to pay a greater price to win this [Ancient Money Bag].
"Everyone, Lot 2..."
Wood began to introduce the second lot, which was a soul fruit, and Su Xiao was not interested in it.
Su Xiao did not bid, and Caesar on the side was the opposite. For almost every lot, Caesar had to bid a few bids, which immediately attracted dissatisfaction from other bidders.
Caesar did this deliberately. First, he is now disguising his identity, and second, even if he does not disguise his identity, he doesn't care about reputation.
What's more, Caesar's constant bidding behavior makes people feel that the shareholders of this goblin company are too difficult to deal with. As a result, there are fewer people bidding with him.
Only by avoiding bidding with others can the value of goblin checks be maximized. Only by buying more things with goblin checks can you use these things to sell more soul coins.
As the auction continues, the value of the auctions on the stage is getting higher and higher, until a secret treasure named [Eternal Heart], at the price of 1.59 million soul coins, was taken by the old immortal Walpole of the demon clan Down.
Lots of amazing value came onto the stage. After eight consecutive high-value lots were sold, the atmosphere was not so enthusiastic. Some strange lots began to be brought up, just as the so-called relaxation.
"Lot 30, the pure blood of the abyss, the starting price is 1,000 soul coins."
While Wood was talking, he moved naturally away from Lot 30, and he didn't wait to see everything related to the abyss and Dad's artifacts.
"1100."
Su Xiao made a bid. This was his first bid tonight, and then there was no more. He bought [Extremely Pure Blood of the Abyss] for the price of 1,100 soul coins.
After a while, Su Xiao looked at another lot, its name is [Blaze of the Sun This badge is inlaid.
To his surprise, he actually won this pretty good-looking [Lining Sun Badge] at the price of 3,000 soul coins.
Then he thought that his current identity is the Holy Flame Apothecary, the distinguished guest of the Arcane Eternal Star, and many of them are casters of the Arcane Eternal Star, and they will not fight with him. The leader, the White Bull, and others will not. , Neither would the tree sages and the older generation pharmacists.
Thinking about it this way, the representatives of the medium-sized races would bid prices with him. In addition, he took pictures of strange objects, not mainstream high-value items. This led to few people quarreling with him.
After a few rounds of auctions, Su Xiao found another interesting lot. It was called [Fallen Flesh]. It was a strange object and a rare ritual object, but it was risky when used. The side effect was that if it was used improperly, it would attract evil spirits. .
In Su Xiao’s view, the main function of this thing is useless to him, but its side effect, which is more valuable to him. In the end, he made a competitor of the spirit hunter at the price of 3100 soul coins. Give up, in fact, if the other party doesn't give up, Su Xiao is ready to stop bidding.
The imaginary fierce bidding did not appear, even during the previous auction of [Eternal Heart], the old guys present were very restrained.
Soon, a batch of high-priced auction items came onto the stage, and Su Xiao even saw [Soul of Technique·Blood] among them, which was a necessary thing for his blood gun master to upgrade to Lv.70.
Fortunately, this [Soul of Technique·Blood] is related to [Soul of Technique·Heart], [Soul of Technique·Ice Soul], [Soul of Technique·Spirit], [Soul of Technique·Death], [Of Techniques] Soul and Blade] They are packaged and sold together. It seems that everyone knows that although the soul of technique is valuable, it is not easy to find a buyer. This time the seller took advantage of the presence of representatives of all major forces to package and sell.
In the end, the soul of these techniques was taken by the Demon Race, which made Su Xiao very gratified. His [Soul of Technique·Blood] had been lost. As for how to exchange it with the Demon Race? Of course, black maple trees are produced.
The second batch of high-value auction items were sold one after another. The auction was coming to an end. The last item was put on the stage. It was a heavy wooden box. Strangely, the waiter who brought it up before Wood introduced it. Open this wooden box.
The cold air was diffused. An old book about a thumb thick, thread-bound edition with jagged edges on each page, was frozen in a wooden box. This ancient book is actually a book with many leather pages bound together.
At the first sight of this thing, Su Xiao recognized that this was actually the "Book of the Necropolis". Almost at the same time, he thought of another question. The Supreme Man is stronger than he thought.
Although this auction was held in the "Liguang Manor", the lot actually came from multiple forces. Therefore, the "Book of Necromancers" was mixed in. The buyer could not find out which party commissioned the auction.
Undoubtedly, the "Book of Necro" was brought by the crow girl to the Arcane Eternal Star. The last holder of this thing was Su Xiao, and the last holder was the priest. As for the previous one, it will be traced back to ten thousand years. forward.
In addition, at this time the "Book of the Necromancer" was frozen by a very special kind of ice, and the probability of someone buying the "Book of the Necromancer" is actually not low.
Regarding the reason why Arcane Eternal Star chose to sell this thing by auction, the reason is very simple. The most difficult thing about the "Book of Necro" is causation. Once it is matched with cause and effect, it is considered to be thrown to some place. In the original world, it will reappear on the Arcane Eternal Star in the next second.
So ~EbookFREE.me~ selling the "Book of Necro" is tantamount to transferring the cause and effect. This is the fastest and most effective way to get rid of the "Book of Necro". It can be seen that the Arcane Eternal Star On the previous page, someone knows "Daddy" artifacts very well, or is it the Arcane Eternal Star who consulted the Devil Race?
Wood on the stage naturally saw the "Book of the Necropolis". His straight eyes showed that this matter has nothing to do with the Devil Clan. He is not allowed to speak. He is also an auctioneer. The Yu Clan who replaced Wood once in the midfield. The auctioneer said:
"This is the last lot today, the Book of the Unknown, because it is completely unknown. The starting price is 1,000 soul coins."
The introduction of the auctioneer of the feather clan made some bidders in the audience interested in the "Book of the Necropolis", and they increased the price to more than 5,000 soul coins.
In the audience, Su Xiao figured out the key and had a coping strategy in his mind, so he immediately raised his hand to make a bid.
Master Soul, Sefelia, and Dean Gu Ya, who had just arrived at the scene not long ago, all noticed that Su Xiao was making a bid, which made the three of them gradually serious.
