Chapter 357: Secret Bid
After catching up with Duan Qing, Bai Shao scratched his head and said in confusion: "Brother Duan, that man is so strange. Bai Shao seems to be fascinated as soon as he sees him!"
"Most people in the Great Dream Sect know some psychedelic techniques. Be careful not to look into his eyes!" Duan Qing explained casually.
In the memory of Senior Yuan Wuwu, the Great Dream Sect is famous for its psychedelic art. The masters can fascinate people with their gestures and are hard to guard against.
Soon, the two returned to the cabin. After Duan Qing told Bai Shao not to disturb him, he couldn't wait to take out two wooden boxes to check.
The wooden box was indeed what he had won, the Thunder Stone and the Jade Slip of the Secret Art of Controlling Insects.
He just played with the Thunder Stone for a while and put it in the storage bag for storage.
The Jade Slip of the Secret Art of Controlling Insects looked a little broken at first glance, and it looked very simple. Duan Qing calmed down and closed his eyes to immerse his mind in it.
After a long time, Duan Qing opened his eyes suddenly, his eyes full of excitement.
The secret technique of controlling insects recorded in this jade slip is indeed incomplete. According to its opening introduction, the complete secret technique of controlling insects includes the chapters of searching for insects, cultivating, breeding, recognizing the master, and controlling.
Most of the contents in the jade slip are incomplete, but the chapter of recognizing the master is intact!
He carefully studied the chapter of recognizing the master and found that the method of recognizing the master in it may allow him to try to recognize the master of the fantasy butterfly egg and hatch it!
Although the other contents of the secret technique were lost, he did not know how to cultivate the fantasy butterfly, but being able to hatch it was still a big step forward.
However, the method of recognizing the master was a bit troublesome. It was necessary to refine a kind of cocoon mud with one's own blood essence, and then wrap the fantasy butterfly egg with the cocoon mud before recognizing the master.
Although the materials for refining the cocoon mud were not precious, he did not have them on him and could not try.
After putting away the jade slip, Duan Qing made up his mind to go to Jiuding City after leaving Tianzhou, gather the materials, refine the cocoon mud, and recognize the fantasy butterfly as the master.
Anyway, the materials for refining the cocoon mud are not complicated and relatively simple. Although he has not yet started alchemy, he is still a novice, but he will succeed after trying a few more times.
These 350,000 spirit stones are really not wasted. I didn't expect to get such a harvest when I came to Tianzhou!
I just don't know if there will be an auction of fire-attributed spirit treasure flying swords tomorrow. If not, he may have to try his luck in Jiuding City Market.
Thinking of this, Duan Qing couldn't help but feel a little worried.
One night passed quickly.
On the third day of Tianzhou, with the sound of a melodious bell, Duan Qing opened his eyes, and a hint of excitement appeared in his eyes.
He was really looking forward to what kind of treasures the Xianding Sect would bring out on the third day.
Duan Qing got up and walked to the big window to look down. He saw that the desk from yesterday had disappeared. On the huge platform, there was only a bronze bell and Mo Tiansheng standing next to the bell with his hands behind his back.
The bell rang for several breaths before slowly returning to calm. Mo Tiansheng glanced around and said loudly: "The third day of the Yibao meeting will begin. For this Qingjiang boat meeting, our Xianding Sect has carefully prepared thirty treasures, each of which is of extraordinary value."
"As in previous years, this Yibao meeting will be auctioned by blind bidding, and the highest bidder will win."
"Here are the treasures!" After saying that, Mo Tianjin immediately stepped back a few steps.
Before Mo Tianjin left the big bell, he heard a mechanical sound from the platform. The ground of the platform in front of the big bell split to both sides, revealing a hole about two or three feet wide. A huge bronze disc-like object gradually rose from the hole.
There was a faint green light around the disc, which seemed to be some kind of shield. On it was an exquisite ancient porcelain flowerpot with a emerald green herb planted in the flowerpot, which was full of greenery.
"The first treasure prepared by our Xian Ding Sect is the Zhu Xin Lan, which ranks 59th on the Tiancai Dibao list. The secret bidding time is one cup of tea. Please bid!" Mo Tianjin pointed at the herbs in the round plate and introduced them, with a smug look in his words.
"Zhu Xin Lan! Did I hear it wrong? It is said to be the most poisonous thing. Even if a person in the Linghai realm gets a little bit of it, he will die instantly!"
"This is the treasure that the poison sects in the northern border dream of! The Xian Ding Sect is willing to auction it!"
"It is said that the Zhu Xin Dan made with this Zhu Xin Lan can even poison the powerful people in the Lingxiang realm. Unfortunately, the Zhu Xin Dan has been lost for many years!"
...
Duan Qing ignored the discussion of the crowd and looked at Bai Shao in confusion. He was a little confused about the secret bidding!
Bai Shao immediately explained to Duan Qing: "Blind bidding is a unique auction method of our Xian Ding Sect. The third day of the Qingjiang Boat Meeting over the years has been conducted in this way."
"Blind bidding means that the bids are not made public. All cultivators cannot know how many spiritual stones others bid, but only know their own bids. Each treasure has a cup of tea to bid. After a cup of tea, the treasure belongs to the highest bidder."
Duan Qing was still a little puzzled. "Then how to bid?"
Bai Shao covered her mouth and smiled. "When cultivators board the Tianzhou, they will get a talisman representing the cabin or seat. When bidding, they only need to sink their minds into the talisman and silently recite the price."
Duan Qing suddenly realized, took out the talisman, tried to sink his mind into it, and tried to silently recite a number. Sure enough, the number he thought of appeared in it.
"By the way, Brother Duan, each person has only one bid opportunity for each treasure, and it cannot be changed. You should pay attention!" Bai Shao reminded Duan Qing.
Duan Qing was stunned, thinking that he was lucky. He just thought of a number at random, just a few dozen spirit stones. If he had paid too much and accidentally bought the Zhu Xin Orchid, he would be so sad that he could not even cry!
At the same time, he sighed in his heart. This kind of blind bidding auction method of the Xianding Sect is really vicious!
Imagine, according to a normal auction, if he wants to buy the fire attribute spiritual treasure flying sword he likes, he will compete with others openly. He knows how many competitors there are and how much the price is. At least he can control it. If he is lucky, he can buy the flying sword at a relatively suitable price.
With this blind bidding method, he can't know how many people are competing with him to buy a flying sword. In order to ensure that he can buy it, he may have to bet all the spiritual stones on him!
In this way, if he is afraid that others will bid higher than him, the price he offers is definitely inflated!
Although the blind bidding does not have a reserve price like the direct auction, Duan Qing can guess without thinking that the final price of the blind bidding is mostly higher than the direct auction!
High! It's really high!
Duan Qing is a little depressed. With this kind of blind bidding auction method, it is completely uncertain whether he can buy the spiritual treasure flying sword!
A cup of tea passed quickly, and with the sound of a bell, a beam of light suddenly shot out from the disc, shining directly into the cabin next to Duan Qing.
Mo Tianjin saw this and immediately announced, "Congratulations on this treasure being bid for by cabin number 272!"
