Chapter 122
The auction selection meeting was held in an extremely spacious hall.
Because there are so many people, there are at least ten stalls here, and there are two people in front of each stall responsible for appreciation.
Zhang Lingshan and the others squeezed through the crowd and saw a strong man with a red face and said: "This is a magical secret that has been passed down from my ancestors. You actually call it rubbish. You have no eyesight. You don't know how to appreciate it at all!"
"What Xiongtai said is, I don't understand. Next one."
The person in charge did not argue with him and immediately called to the next person.
The next person I saw was a somewhat thin young man. He took out a green jade pendant. There was a drop of blood congealed in the center of the jade pendant. When he looked at the sun, he could see a red light and shadow flickering.
The person in charge took a closer look, then murmured a few words to the old man next to him, and said: "The things are okay, but the quality is average, and they are not worth going to the auction. But our Nanhai Auction House can accept it, and it is worth fifty thousand taels of silver. How about it?"
"What, it's only fifty thousand taels of silver. I won't sell it. I need at least one hundred thousand taels of silver."
The thin young man shook his head fiercely.
The person in charge said: "Then please do it."
There was no intention of bargaining at all.
When the thin young man saw this, he became anxious again and said, "I'll sell it, I'll sell it, just fifty thousand taels of silver."
The person in charge was too lazy to pay attention to him and said directly: "See you off."
The two guards next to him immediately walked out, picked up the thin young man and threw him outside the hall.
The thin young man lay on the ground with a look of remorse on his face. He blamed himself for being too greedy. According to the rules of the Nanhai Auction House, he did not bargain. He was really asking for trouble.
Forget it, let's try our luck in the market to the west.
Zhang Lingshan watched him leave from a distance, and was interested in buying his jade pendant, but the other person walked very quickly, and it was his turn to be admired soon, so he stopped thinking.
Anyway, that jade pendant is just like that, it's no pity.
"Next."
the person in charge shouted.
soon.
Then it was Zhang Lingshan's turn.
Zhang Lingshan took out the fragment of the Stick Demon's Codex and said, "This is the Stick Demon's Codex passed down by the Sun Ape of the Stick Demon. It is priceless..."
"Ha ha."
The person in charge suddenly laughed, interrupted Zhang Lingshan's words, and said seriously: "I'm sorry, I really can't hold it back. Normally I wouldn't laugh, but your Stick Demon Handbook..."
As he spoke, he nuzzled his lips towards a display cabinet bookshelf not far away, and said: "Look over there, there are countless such handbooks. If you are interested, you can go there and have a look. If you can put together a set of Stick Demon Handbooks , I can offer you a high price."
"High price?"
Zhang Lingshan asked curiously: "How high is it?"
The person in charge said: "It's as high as three floors. Haha, you can go to our third floor and take a look. As long as you have the full set of Stick Demon's Codex, you can pick out anything on the third floor."
"oh?"
Zhang Lingshan became interested and immediately took Ma Dongge, Xue Fei and Zhu Hao to the third floor.
Compared to the crowds at the product selection stalls on the first floor, there are relatively fewer people on the third floor. At least you don’t have to smell the sweat of the people around you.
"Uncle Zhang, it's impossible to collect all the Stick Demon Codex. There's no need to work hard. That person is just teasing you. Don't be as knowledgeable as him."
Xue Fei reminded.
"Um."
Zhang Lingshan responded casually, looking around the booths and shelves on the third floor, looking for good things that could be used.
suddenly.
His eyes were attracted by a display cabinet and he quickly walked over.
What I saw in the display cabinet was a bloody red broken knife. The broken knife was broken in the middle, and the lower half was missing.
"This is the Blood Shadow Knife. It is said that once it is made, it is cut in half, and the second half cannot be connected no matter what. There are rumors that the user pours Qi and blood into the blade, and the shadow of the blood knife will be condensed in the second half. It has no power. But whether it is true or not, no one has seen it.”
Xue Fei introduced, shook his head again, and smiled sarcastically: "But I guess it's a lie. Because it is so powerful, it has been used by people from the Nanhai Auction House a long time ago, how can it be placed here?"
As a native of Jiangcheng, he is very knowledgeable about these things and is a qualified guide.
"I want this knife."
Zhang Lingshan didn't seem to even listen to Xue Fei's words and said directly.
Xue Fei was stunned: "Uncle Zhang, I heard that someone was deceived by this knife. After buying it, I took it back to try. Not only did the afterimage of the bloody knife not appear, but it actually made me drained of energy and blood. The Nanhai Auction House looked at him pitifully. , returned him half of the price, and took the knife back. Don’t be fooled and make the same mistake as that person.”
"It doesn't matter."
Zhang Lingshan waved his hand.
Xue Fei was helpless, knowing that he could not convince this stubborn uncle-like figure who looked slightly young, so he said: "But even if Uncle Zhang wants to buy it, he doesn't have a complete set of Stick Demon Manual."
"I have my own way."
Zhang Lingshan smiled, and then took a few people back to the first floor and came to the display cabinet and bookshelf that the person in charge mentioned before.
As the person in charge said, there are all kinds of manuscripts everywhere on the display cabinet bookshelf, which is dazzling.
Ask about the price.
"One hundred thousand taels of silver per page."
"So expensive!" Xue Fei was stunned and hummed: "It's impossible to tell whether these manuscripts are genuine or fake. And even if they are genuine, they are deceptive garbage. Whoever buys them will be taken advantage of."
"I'll buy it."
Zhang Lingshan took out a handful of banknotes from his arms, pointed to four different pages of the notebook, and asked the teller behind the counter to pack them for him.
The teller took the banknote and showed a surprised expression: "What an old banknote, only our Nanhai Auction House will accept it. I'm afraid other places won't accept it."
"Uh..."
Xue Fei was even more speechless.
He could see that this Uncle Zhang came from a remote corner of a poor village, and even the banknotes were outdated.
No wonder he was so stupid and didn't listen to others' advice.
Because he had never seen any good things, he thought everything he saw was good, and he was easily fooled.
What blood shadow knife, what handbook, are all scams. Look at the crowds of people watching the excitement around, but who the hell buys them.
It's speechless.
However, as a junior, Xue Fei had said all he could. If he said more, he would be disliked, so he didn't say more.
Zhang Lingshan took the four handbooks and didn't leave. Instead, he went to another counter to buy a pair of paper and pen and asked Zhu Hao to take them. Only then did he leave the selection building of Nanhai Auction House with satisfaction.
"I have paper and pen at home."
Xue Fei muttered, somewhat confused about what Zhang Lingshan was going to do.
Could it be that you want to forge a set of stick demon notes?
"Are you going back now, Uncle Zhang? Why don't you go to the west market for a stroll?"
Xue Fei suggested.
Although the young uncle Zhang Lingshan was very silly and stubborn, Xue Fei could clearly feel that both Ma Dongge and Zhu Hao listened to him.
Only where Uncle Zhang chose to go could others follow.
"No need, go back and rest first, and then go to the west market when you have time."
"That's fine."
Xue Fei really wanted to go around, but Zhang Lingshan refused, and he had no choice but to lead the way home.
...
Jiangfeng Teahouse.
As the only teahouse near the river in Jiangcheng, this building is seven stories high, magnificent and tall, and is a landmark building.
Just looking at this teahouse, a fool can feel the wealth of the owner of the teahouse.
And it's not just about being rich and powerful. You must have money, ability, power, and status. Otherwise, if you lack any of these, you can't run a business here safely.
Since the teahouse itself is so high-end and classy, the consumption must be high, and the people who can live in the teahouse are naturally top-notch figures.
At this time.
A young man in white sat by the window on the fifth floor, sipping tea while looking at everything outside with interest.
There seemed to be a smile in his eyes.
However, there was no expression on his face, like a dead face, calm and without a trace of extra emotion.
"Jiangcheng, Jiangcheng, it's interesting. There are so many people coming and going, and any one of them can be a big shot, but here they are all as obedient as sheep."
The young man sighed.
Suddenly.
His eyes suddenly focused and fell on a sturdy man.
The man wore a black shirt with a red collar, and a belt embroidered with golden flowers and sparrows tied around his waist. He also wore black pants with gold-edged patterns.
He moved his hands and feet like a dragon and a tiger.
He didn't use any strength, but the people around him automatically made way for him, as if he had some incredible power that pushed them far away.
"Interesting, interesting!"
The young man in white suddenly had an excited light in his eyes, as if he had seen the most incredible thing in his life.
He jumped.
He suddenly fell from the window and disappeared into the teahouse.
When he appeared again.
He had already landed in the crowd, right behind the sturdy man.
He came so suddenly that the people around him were all stunned, and for a moment they didn't have time to react.
Bang!
The young man in white reached out his hand and gently placed it on the shoulder of the sturdy man, smiling and saying, "Long time no see, little brother. I didn't expect you to be still alive. It's incredible. Let's chat. I want to know what you have been through these days."
Swish!
The sturdy man turned around suddenly. Who else could it be but Zhang Lingshan.
At this moment.
Zhang Lingshan's eyes sank, his sleeves came out like a dragon, and his right hand, like a steel claw, quickly stretched out his sleeves and grabbed the young man in white fiercely.
No wonder he was ruthless and merciless.
Because the man in front of him was none other than Li Ziming, who had captured him in Jincheng that year!
At that time, Li Ziming brought Fang Qiuyue to investigate the death of her sister Fang Qiuhong, and found Zhang Lingshan who had had contact with Fang Qiuhong.
At that time, he made a move and lightly pinched Zhang Lingshan's neck, and carried Zhang Lingshan away like a child.
It was a great shame!
However, Zhang Lingshan was weak at that time and had no power to resist. He could only answer the other party's questions honestly. As a result, he still couldn't escape Fang Qiuyue's clutches.
Fortunately, with the help of the panel, Fang Qiuyue was killed by Zhang Lingshan in the end, and Li Ziming was scared away by the people of Fengdu and has been missing since then.
But I didn't expect.
Today in Jiangcheng, I actually saw this beast.
Moreover, this guy came to me specially after seeing me. He was so brave!
Do you really think you are still as weak as when you first practiced martial arts?
'No! '
When Zhang Lingshan made his move, he felt something was wrong.
He didn't notice Li Ziming until he patted his shoulder.
Incredible!
With his current mental power, he couldn't even sense it. It can be seen that this guy is not only extraordinary in body movement, but also in mental power.
"So powerful!"
Li Ziming saw Zhang Lingshan's claws reaching out like a venomous snake, and the dead man's face couldn't help but change a little, as if the strong wind was blowing his skin to shake, so he couldn't help but squint his eyes, and a few drops of sweat silently flowed on his forehead.
Seeing that Zhang Lingshan was about to pinch his neck.
At this time, Li Ziming's figure suddenly shook and disappeared without a trace, and the figure of another tall and thin man suddenly teleported to his previous position.
This change was as fast as thunder, and there was no extra trace at all, even the wind did not fluctuate.
Zhang Lingshan was shocked!
Because the incident happened suddenly, he didn't have time to stop the movement of his hands, and he just pinched the neck of the tall and thin man.
Although he failed to catch Li Ziming, the tall and thin man was obviously in the same group with Li Ziming.
Zhang Lingshan was not polite, and directly exerted force, and his hand bones turned red, and he pinched hard.
'Hmm? '
A strange feeling came from his hand.
It was as if he was not pinching a person's neck, but a pool of water. The harder he pinched, the more the water would slip through his fingers.
'Zang-refining realm? '
Zhang Lingshan frowned.
As expected, he saw a faint black air film on the other person's body.
Unlike the half-step refining male pet of Mei Yuhuan who was killed before, this person's air film was integrated, and he was truly refining the organs.
Although he didn't know how many organs he had refined, even if he had only refined the kidney water organ, he should not be underestimated.
Because Zhang Lingshan found that not only could he not pinch the man's neck with his right hand, but his right hand itself was also trapped in the kidney water air film of this person.
It seemed that there was a dull, stagnant, and irresistible force that submerged his right hand in it.
The harder he tried, the stickier the force became, pulling his palm out from countless directions from all directions.
The skin seemed to have begun to fester, the sweat hairs were pulled out, and a trace of blood floated in the air.
The muscles seemed to be dissolved and merged into the opponent's air membrane, unable to escape.
"Hehehe."
The thin and tall man's mouth curled up slightly, and he laughed sarcastically.
Next, it's the bones.
After the bones are merged into the kidney water air membrane, this kid's right hand is completely useless.
Dare to attack Lord Li Ziming, this is the price!
"Awesome, is this the strength of refining the internal organs?"
Zhang Lingshan saw the thin and tall man's indifferent look and couldn't help but exclaimed.
It's really amazing.
The opponent's move was almost effortless, but he had to resist all the time.
The internal organs refining realm is indeed extraordinary. As Ma Dongge said, the internal organs refining realm and the half-step internal organs refining realm are not at the same level.
Strength cannot be measured by how many times it has increased, but should be measured by earth-shaking.
