Chapter 93 Admission Ticket
To stand out from the tens of thousands of Qi Refining disciples is like crossing a single-plank bridge with thousands of troops and horses. Just think about it and you will know how difficult it is!
Therefore, in addition to improving his cultivation, Qin Tian's first priority is to raise his combat power to a higher level.
After all, the sect competition not only tests the realm of cultivation, but also the monks' combat power and methods are top priority!
At this moment, Tao Ran and his wife, who had returned from Kanghai City, brought back good news...
At the east gate of Kanghai City, Qin Tian and three others were following people into the city.
This is the first time Qin Tian has returned to the city this year. Looking at the bustling crowd, he can't help but feel as if he is in another world.
"Brother Tao, are you sure there will be a Shocking Stone in the auction?"
Qin Tian walked quickly and asked Tao Ran beside him.
"Brother Qin, don't worry. In order to increase the popularity of the auction, the auction list was made public a few days ago, and the Shocking Stone appeared in it."
Hearing this, Tao Ran said with a firm tone.
Luyao on the side also interrupted and asked curiously:
"Brother Qin is so concerned about this Shocking Stone. Could it be that it has some magical purpose?"
After hearing this, Qin Tian smiled and said nothing, with a mysterious look on his face.
When Luyao saw this, she couldn't help but curled her lips.
During this year, whenever he returned to the city to supply and exchange materials, Qin Tian would ask the two of them to inquire about the Shocking Stone on his behalf.
She was so concerned about the Shocking Stone, which naturally aroused Luyao's curiosity, but after many insinuations, she found nothing.
"Brother Qin may face another problem if he wants to participate in the auction."
Tao Ran on the side seemed to have thought of something and said with a slight frown.
"Please ask Brother Tao to clear up the confusion!"
After hearing this, Qin Tian couldn't help but asked curiously.
"Of course it's about auctioning tickets for the conference!"
Tao Ran didn't refuse when he saw this and told everything about the auction.
After Tao Ran's narration, Qin Tian finally understood that if he wanted to participate in the auction, he needed a ticket as his admission ticket!
The so-called auction conference is jointly organized by major merchants in Kanghai City, and is uniformly scheduled and operated by the casual cultivator alliance to auction treasures.
It is said that all treasures that can be put on the auction stage are rare and rare, which has attracted many people to attend, and all previous auction conferences have been packed with seats.
As the number of people increases, the number of people the auction venue can accommodate is limited, and admission tickets become extremely popular.
Even in the underground black market, auction tickets are sold at high prices.
In this regard, the casual cultivator alliance turned a blind eye. After all, no matter how the tickets flow into the market, the ultimate beneficiaries are still the major merchants.
Hearing this, Qin Tian couldn't help but secretly sigh, the Rogue Cultivator Alliance really has a good way of making money!
Seeing Qin Tian lowering his head and saying nothing, Tao Ran on the side thought that Qin Tian was worried about the admission ticket, so he couldn't help but said:
"Brother Qin, there is no need to worry. Tao happens to know a few friends in the black market. If he goes to inquire about them later, he may gain something."
After hearing this, Qin Tian raised his head and said with twinkling eyes:
"At this time, there are less than seven days until the auction meeting. Even if there are tickets circulating on the black market, they must have been sold out long ago."
Speaking of this, Qin Tian paused slightly and his eyes flickered.
After a moment, as if he thought of something, a light flashed in Qin Tian's eyes, and he said in a relaxed tone:
"You two, come with me."
After that, Qin Tian walked towards the fork in the street first.
Tao Ran and Lu Yao were a little confused when they saw this, but they quickly kept up.
After walking quickly and passing through several crowded streets, a luxuriously decorated store came into view.
It is undoubtedly Jubao Tower!
After the three of them entered the lobby of the store, Qin Tian glanced up and then walked straight towards the old man behind the counter.
When the old man saw this, his consciousness flashed, and a trace of doubt and contempt flashed in his eyes, but his expression was calm as usual and he said:
"If you have any transaction needs, the waiter in the store can make the decision."
Obviously, as a foundation-building monk, he has no interest in the transactions of mere Qi-refining monks, so he is naturally unwilling to condescend to receive him in person.
After hearing this, Qin Tian showed no expression. He reached out and took out a small white jade talisman, flicked it in front of the old man's eyes, and then quickly put it away.
The whole process was so fast that Tao Ran and Lu Yao behind them couldn't help but be confused when they saw this.
But the old man behind the counter suddenly changed his expression, his expression quickly softened, and then he stood up and held his hands in his hands and said:
"My little friend, how about you come with me to the private room upstairs for a detailed discussion?"
"I think so too!"
Qin Tian returned the greeting with his hands raised, then turned to Tao Ran and said:
"You two, please stay here for a while. Qin will come back as soon as he leaves."
The two people, who looked astonished, nodded when they heard this.
Afterwards, Qin Tian followed the old man and went up to the private room on the second floor.
It has to be said that the Jubao Building here and the branch of Qianling City are exactly the same in terms of decoration style and environmental layout.
After the two guests and host sat down, the old man spoke first:
"My little friend is quite low-key. I've been sitting here for decades, but I've actually lost my sight. What's my last name? What do you call me my little friend?"
After hearing this, Qin Tian quickly raised his hands and said:
"My descendant, Qin Tian, has met shopkeeper He. Qin doesn't like publicity, and that's why he did this."
After being polite, shopkeeper He couldn't help but asked curiously:
"I wonder what you want to trade when you come here this time?"
Qin Tian didn't waste any words after hearing this. He stretched out his hand and patted the storage bag. A large pile of monster materials and various magic tools suddenly appeared on the ground.
The monster materials were obtained from hunting monsters in the past year. As for the various magic tools, they were the spoils of killing the Five Ghosts of Qianling and Na Luo Laoliu and others.
Except for a few hand-wearing things, Qin Tian kept them for his own use. The rest are almost all here, and there are many top-quality ones!
"Please give me an estimate, Manager He."
Qin Tian said calmly.
Seeing this, Manager He raised his eyebrows, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, but he quickly returned to normal, and his expression did not change at all.
With his foundation-building cultivation and the position of the manager of Jubao Tower, the magic tools and monster materials would naturally not cause too much surprise.
The shopkeeper surnamed He released his spiritual sense and scanned it. After just a moment, he understood it in his mind. Then he said with a deep thought:
"The monster materials can be settled at the market price, which can be priced at 14,000 spirit stones. There are 23 magic tools in total. Although there are many, the quality is uneven. Let's price it at 32,000 spirit stones. What do you think, Qin Xiaoyou?"
At this point, the shopkeeper surnamed He looked up at Qin Tian.
Before Qin Tian came, he had already roughly understood the market price. Seeing that it reached the expected price, he did not hesitate at the moment, and said calmly:
"Let's trade at this price."
Hearing this, the shopkeeper surnamed He smiled slightly, and with a wave of his sleeves, 460 medium-grade spirit stones were neatly stacked on the table.
After the two of them put away their own, the money and goods were considered settled.
