Chapter 195 Gong Xiping Is in Charge! The Auction Begins
Six hundred and sixty-six pieces!
This is the total amount of Nanhai jades obtained in exchange for the ten weapons of Yuchi Yuan and others, plus the weapons of Shen Hou and Mei Yuhuan.
It doesn't seem to be a lot, but it is quite good.
You should know that the Wordless Sutra only exchanged for 410 pieces.
'The Nanhai jade has successfully reached 2,000 pieces, not bad. '
Zhang Lingshan was quite satisfied.
From a poor man in a small place who didn't have a single Nanhai jade, after this period of hard work, he finally turned into a rich man.
What else is there to be dissatisfied with?
Moreover, these Nanhai jades are only the guaranteed price at present. After auctioning one piece, there will be extra Nanhai jades delivered.
In short, based on the number of Nanhai jades, he is definitely a local tycoon, much richer than many local wealthy families in Jiangcheng.
With money, you have confidence.
At tomorrow's auction, you can spend money generously, without saving, and buy all that can improve your cultivation.
You are not short of money.
That's how willful you are.
After leaving the Nanhai Auction House, Zhang Lingshan used the Cloud-walking Technique and quietly returned to the Sanyang Club.
It was beyond his expectation.
Yuchi Liushen actually brought 125 Nanhai jades in exchange for Qin Buyin.
This love was pure and touching.
Many people envied Qin Buyin for finding a good man.
Zhang Lingshan was also amazed. Yuchi Liushen did not look very reliable, not like a gentleman, and his reputation was not very good.
But he did not expect that his feelings for Qin Buyin were so sincere.
Rare!
What was even more rare was that this guy really brought 125 Nanhai jades.
For this reason, Zhang Lingshan kept his promise and would not kidnap them anymore. Let them live together.
‘Including these 125 pieces, there are now a total of 2286 Nanhai jades. ’
Zhang Lingshan put away the Nanhai Jade, and then said to Zhao Huanyang: "Tomorrow's auction, I will change my identity and go alone, you just stay here to look after the house. It is said that the Tianshimen auction will cause trouble on the day, so be careful."
"Change your identity?"
Zhao Huanyang was surprised and worried: "Young Master is busy practicing, so he is not very clear about the value of these things. What if the price is too high? Wouldn't it be a loss?"
Zhang Lingshan said: "This is a good question, so I took the auction list, and you can give me a lesson so that I can have a general understanding of the value of these things."
"Okay."
Zhao Huanyang nodded heavily, and then called on others to come and give Zhang Lingshan a lecture to broaden his knowledge.
The night passed like this.
The next day, at noon.
Zhang Lingshan came to the auction venue alone.
This is not the selection building that he has been going to before, but a specially built venue, a hall.
Its location is just at the back door of Xu Zhongyin's mansion, and a wide and large venue is specially enclosed.
It is said that this venue was built by Xu Zhongyin, the richest man in Jiangcheng. Whether it is a brick at the entrance or a board, Xu Zhongyin carefully selected it, which shows that Xu Zhongyin recognized the auction.
Of course, this is just the opinion of the spectators who do not know the truth.
Zhang Lingshan knows that this is not recognition at all. This is Xu Zhongyin building the venue like a back garden.
With Xu Zhongyin's ability, he must have a small model hall like the auction hall hidden in his arms.
As long as he wants, he can take things away through the model.
But he should not dare to do so.
Do you really think that the Nanhai Chamber of Commerce is just eating dry food?
Therefore, Xu Zhongyin did this mainly to prevent trouble before it happens and to gain some initiative for himself, so as not to let others take advantage of any accidents.
This gave Zhang Lingshan an opportunity.
When an accident really happens, he can use Xu Zhongyin's route to escape.
It is said that one more friend means one more way, and it is true.
"Here you are, brother!"
"Yeah, go in early and find a good spot. This is a once-in-a-lifetime event. Don't miss it."
Many people have gathered from all directions.
Although this place is in the direction of the back door of Xu Zhongyin's mansion, it is still far away from the back door. Because it is wide enough, it is not crowded even if a large number of people gather.
As more and more people come, Zhang Lingshan also sees many acquaintances he has met before.
For example, Song Qingyu and Yu Sisi.
These two people are very lucky. They were controlled by Qiu Tianzuo of Tianshimen before, and then they were strangely controlled by the Mountain God Temple. As a result, they didn't rest for a few days, and they came out alive and well to participate in the auction.
Very energetic!
However, this time, there were no Yuchi Liumei, Qin Buxiao and Dongfang Hua to accompany the two. Only two old men guarded them closely and stood in the crowd together.
After all, with their identities, they could only stand in the crowd.
Such a grand event, the gathering of dignitaries is innumerable, any one of them is not an ordinary person, and the two outsiders are nothing.
Zhang Lingshan looked away and looked elsewhere, only to see a beautiful woman in a green skirt with a veil on her face, looking around curiously.
It was Qingming, one of the Nine Sons of the Netherworld that he had met at the Baiye headquarters.
Next to her were the white-haired strong man Bai Jun and the blue-clothed captain Ran Jinru, both of whom were also looking around.
It seemed that they had never seen such a grand scene.
But Zhang Lingshan estimated that they were not bumpkins who had never seen the world, and they must be looking for someone.
Sure enough.
The eyes of the three people suddenly fixed on one frame.
It was a young man with an expressionless face, followed by two people.
Zhang Lingshan knew one of them. Although he had never seen him, he heard from Xu Dongmei, the expert investigator, that the middle-aged man with a blue scarf was Yan Zhaoyuan.
Fourth Organ Realm.
What surprised Zhang Lingshan was that there was an old man who was also in the Fourth Organ Realm beside Yan Zhaoyuan.
Although this man was hunched over, half of his body was buried in the ground, and he looked half dead.
However, he could sense that the other party was not weak, even stronger than Yan Zhaoyuan next to him.
‘Where did this come from, the newly recruited Yellow Turban Warrior by Li Ziming? ’
Zhang Lingshan was speechless.
After all, he was a strong man in the Fourth Organ Realm. Why don’t you do anything else? Why do you have to be Li Ziming’s Yellow Turban Warrior?
How much benefit can Li Ziming give you?
While Zhang Lingshan was speechless, Qingming and the other two were shocked.
It's been a short time since we last met, but Li Ziming actually secretly recruited a Yellow Turban Warrior of the Fourth Zang Realm.
How did this guy do it?
It's incredible!
Her Qingming faction is so huge that she even has a Qingyi team, but she keeps hitting a wall when she wants to recruit Yellow Turban Warriors.
This Li Ziming, what virtue and ability does he have.
"Miss, it seems that this Li Ziming is not simple, he must have a backer behind him, and he is not easy to deal with. It seems that the matter entrusted by that senior is not easy to handle."
Bai Jun couldn't help but say.
Ran Jinru said: "I've said it before, don't listen to what that person said, he has the ability to deal with Li Ziming himself, but he insisted on letting us deal with him. Humph."
"Don't be disrespectful to the senior, maybe the senior is listening somewhere."
Bai Jun scolded sharply.
Ran Jinru curled her lips and said disdainfully: "What senior, he can only scare a coward like you. How dare he cause trouble at the Nanhai Auction?"
"Okay, stop arguing. Li Ziming is coming."
Qingming had a headache and stopped him.
Li Ziming came over with Yan Zhaoyuan and the old man, and smiled and bowed, saying: "It turned out to be Fairy Qingming, who also came to join in the fun."
She said she was smiling, but in fact, it was just her voice that was smiling, and her face was still dead.
Qingming also bowed: "So it's Senior Brother Li. Seeing that Senior Brother is so confident, he should be sure to win the auction item he likes."
"No, no, I just like a small thing. Anyway, no one is competing for it, so I'll try my luck. What if I win it?"
Li Ziming waved his hand and said, "I just don't know if what we both want is the same thing. If there is a conflict, it will be like family fighting against each other. It's not right to raise the price for the auction and suffer a big loss."
Qingming said: "There shouldn't be a conflict. I'm not as strong as Senior Brother, and I don't have much Nanhai jade saved."
"You can't say that. What if there is a conflict? I'll tell you the truth. What I like is Lingxu Sanqing Jade."
Li Ziming leaned close to Qingming's ear and whispered.
Qingming was shocked: "Lingxu Sanqing Jade, used to improve spiritual power, is your spiritual consciousness going to break through?"
"Hush, keep your voice down, it's still early, just prepare it as soon as possible, after all, you can't buy such good things anywhere else."
Li Ziming waved his hands quickly.
Although he said to be careful, he couldn't hide his intention to show off, or deliberately revealed it to let Qingming know how powerful he was, so that he would retreat.
Qingming was really scared.
Not only because the other party's spiritual consciousness was about to break through, but also because this Lingxu Sanqing Jade was very expensive, the starting price was at least fifty Nanhai jades, and the transaction price was estimated to be one hundred even if it was worse.
And she, Qingming, and Bai Jun and Ran Jinru had worked hard to save up only one hundred.
It was impossible to bid for Lingxu Sanqing Jade.
But Li Ziming vowed to bid for Lingxu Sanqing Jade.
How many Nanhai jades did this guy have?
"Brother is really amazing. I can't afford Lingxu Sanqing Jade." Qingming smiled bitterly.
Li Ziming said: "Junior sister, you are joking. You just don't like it. I wonder which item you like?"
"Well, it's just an insignificant ordinary object. I won't say it to make you laugh."
Qingming shook his head and didn't answer. Instead, he looked into the distance and changed the subject and shouted: "Look, who is that person? What a grand show."
Li Ziming stared at her side face with deep eyes, then followed her gaze and said: "Oh, it's the wife of the city lord. But she came here on behalf of the Yuchi family. The original head of the Yuchi family seems to have been dismissed by her, and now she is temporarily taking over the Yuchi family head."
"Dismissed, why?" Qingming asked along the topic.
Li Ziming said: "I don't know. We can't interfere in other people's family affairs."
"Who is following behind her? She is so beautiful, with a national beauty."
Qingming suddenly praised.
Li Ziming said: "That person is Yuchi Liuxiang, known as the most beautiful woman in Jiangcheng, the most beautiful woman. However, I think she is far inferior to Fairy Qingming. If Fairy Qingming unveils her veil, she is not even worthy of carrying her shoes."
"Oh, Senior Brother Li is just talking nonsense. I am not as good as her. Look, as soon as she appeared, she attracted the attention of everyone present. This is a real beauty. We ugly people can only hide in the dark and grit our teeth, envious and jealous."
Qingming shyly waved her hands.
Li Ziming said: "Humble! Junior sister is too humble. Among our Netherworld Nine Sons, I admire Junior sister the most. She is outstanding, but not arrogant. She is a role model for our generation. If it comes to the last moment, Junior sister, rest assured, I will raise my hands and feet to recommend you to the top."
"Senior brother is the role model for our generation..."
The two of them praised each other for their business.
Suddenly.
A voice shouted: "Everyone be quiet! The city lord is here! Now let the city lord speak."
Huahuahua.
A group of city guards in blue uniforms rushed out of the crowd and formed a square to block everyone behind.
Then, a middle-aged man with a majestic figure and handsome face came from the air and landed on a stone pillar in front of the auction hall, saying: "My fellow countrymen in Yuzhou, I am Jiangcheng City Lord Jiang Chenyu.
"This South China Sea auction was a chat with Mr. Gong Xiping, the head of the South China Sea Chamber of Commerce, after drinking. I mentioned that I wanted to hold an auction that would benefit everyone in Yuzhou.
"It was just a random talk, but I didn't expect Mr. Gong Xiping to take it to heart. He went back to Haizhou to make careful preparations and actually held this auction.
"But according to our estimate, 10,000 people can come to this auction, which is already the limit.
"But I didn't expect that everyone was so kind that 100,000 people came at once. It's really flattering.
"I know that everyone is not only for my face, Jiang Chenyu, but also for the reputation of the Nanhai Chamber of Commerce.
"Now, please let Mr. Gong Xiping, the head of the Nanhai Chamber of Commerce in Jiangcheng, speak."
Jiang Chenyu made a "please".
The city guards clapped their hands to greet him, and some people in the crowd followed suit.
The atmosphere was there.
A middle-aged man dressed as a scholar in blue came from nowhere and landed on the pillar on the other side of Jiang Chenyu.
She first bowed to Jiang Chenyu, and then to everyone.
Wait for everyone to quiet down.
Gong Xiping then said loudly: "Thank you all for your love and support for our Nanhai Chamber of Commerce. Without further ado, since everyone is here for the auction, I declare that the auction is officially open!"
Pop!
As soon as the words fell.
Someone arranged to set off fireworks and firecrackers below.
Everyone cheered.
Gong Xiping said: "If you don't have a contract card, please line up in an orderly manner at the South Gate. If you have a contract card, please come to the North Gate."
The so-called contract card is a card given by others when you send your treasure to the Nanhai Auction. It is a symbol of your status as a distinguished guest of the auction.
Zhang Lingshan has sent his treasures for auction many times and has more than one card on hand.
One for the original identity.
One for the Heart Fire Prince.
Now this blue-clothed nobleman is another one.
After hearing what Gong Xiping said, he was planning to go directly to the north gate, but suddenly heard someone in the crowd say, "Do you need a deed card? I have one here. With a deed card, you don't have to queue up, and you have a chance to enter the box. Buy one. It's not expensive, ten pieces of Nanhai jade."
'Can this be sold? '
Zhang Lingshan's heart moved.
There is no mark on this deed card. It's useless to take so many of them, so it's better to sell it.
