The items displayed on the huge jade wall were also numerous, including magical artifacts, instruments, elixirs, spiritual minerals, demon beast materials, and so on.
"Welcome, Senior, I am here to greet you. This is your auction number plate."
While Zhang Ling was observing the information on the jade wall, a half-demon girl approached him from the side, bowing in greeting as she walked towards him.
The girl appeared to be only twelve or thirteen years old, and looked extremely similar to a human girl. She was dressed in a yellow dress, but her skin was fairer than that of human women, and her pair of ears were furry, retaining their bestial form. At this moment, she held a jade plate in both hands, with two items placed on it.
Zhang Ling subconsciously flashed a spiritual light in his eyes and observed that the girl only had the strength of the mid-stage of Qi Refining. Swept by his gaze, the girl seemed a little nervous, her cheeks flushed red, and she quickly lowered her head and handed over the jade plate.
Zhang Ling also smiled slightly and looked at the jade plate in her hand. On it were a tiger-facedmask and a purple wooden tag. With a wave of his hand, the purple wooden tag landed in his hand, with only the number twenty-three written on one side. At the same time, a faint spiritual power emanated from the wooden tag, indicating it was a magical instrument.
Then, the girl's soft voice sounded in his ear again. "The item in Senior's hand is the token for this auction. As long as Senior takes a fancy to any item, you can directly use this token to increase the price."
Zhang Ling touched the token in his hand and injected a trace of spiritual power into it, revealing some text on it. After glancing at it a few times, he understood the usage of the token. "It's quite convenient. Then how do I view the item information?"
"Just release your divine sense and probe into the Xuanjing Wall in the center to view the items being auctioned at this moment."
Zhang Ling hummed in agreement and turned to look at the huge floating jade wall, instantly locking his divine sense onto the Red Fire Fork magical treasure.
Immediately, the three golden characters 'Red Fire Fork' engraved on it flashed, revealing a crimson fire fork about ten feet long. This was not the real appearance of the magical treasure, but rather a phantom image, but the fire fork phantom immediately danced rapidly, and with the dance, the divine sense felt a surge of violent fire spiritual power.
The phantom image of this treasure was demonstrating the power of this treasure.
Zhang Ling couldn't help but narrow his eyes, secretly thinking it was interesting, and then he checked the information of other treasures. As long as the divine sense was placed on the names of those treasures, they would be transformed into phantoms and displayed in the divine sense, making them clearly visible.
"Alright, I understand the usage of this token. What is thismask?" Zhang Ling put away his divine sense and glanced at themask in the jade plate, asking.
"In response to Senior, this is a treasure made of special spiritual silk to cover up one's aura. After wearing it, it will be difficult for other cultivators to sense one's aura."
Releasing his divine sense to scan themask, the tiger-facedmask suddenly flashed with black light, and his divine sense was blocked outside, unable to penetrate it.
However, upon closer inspection, it was possible to forcibly penetrate thismask, but this would undoubtedly attract the attention of other cultivators. This kind of special treasure is quite useful in this kind of occasion.
Immediately, Zhang Ling picked up the tiger-facedmask and put it on his face, then he asked the half-demon girl to explain the auction rules here.
This girl also answered everything she knew, explaining it to him in detail.
"Senior, there are ten floors here, which are divided by the Heavenly Stems such as Jia, Yi, Bing, Ding, etc. Each floor has twenty-four rooms. Most of them have been reserved by large and small merchants, and these merchants will auction off an item every quarter of an hour. The item information will be displayed on the Xuanjing Wall. If Senior is interested in any item, you can directly use the auction token in your hand to add spirit stones. Each item will also stay on the Xuanjing Wall for a quarter of an hour."
"After a quarter of an hour, if there are no other competitors, then the cultivator with the highest bid of spirit stones will be able to bid for that treasure. You can go to the corresponding room to exchange for the treasure. However, if you add prices randomly without spirit stones, you will be severely punished by the organizers. But, if you do not have enough spirit stones, there is also an exchange place here, where you can exchange other treasures in your hand for spirit stones."
As the half-demon girl explained, Zhang Ling always released a wisp of divine sense to check the huge jade wall. The items displayed on it basically remained between fifty and sixty, and the number of spirit stones marked behind each treasure was the current price of the item.
And the Red Fire Fork magical treasure he had observed earlier had already been bid up to 285,000 spirit stones. This method, which was different from ordinary auctions, also aroused some interest in Zhang Ling.
But at this moment, there were no items he needed on it. Zhang Ling then opened his mouth and asked the girl.
"You said that only most of the houses are used by those merchants as auction venues, so what are the remaining half of the places used for?"
"Senior, the remaining rooms are prepared for the cultivators who come here. If Senior has something to acquire, or has a special treasure to sell, you can also rent a room. The rented rooms can also be bartered with other cultivators, and there are no restrictions. The price of a room per day is five middle-grade spirit stones."
Zhang Ling nodded and said in a muffled voice. "So that's how it is. Then lead the way. This seat happens to have a treasure to sell."
"Senior, please come this way."
The girl was also overjoyed when she heard Zhang Ling's words. The more spirit stones the received cultivators spend here, the more she can get a corresponding little reward.
Although these spirit stones are nothing to high-level cultivators, they are not bad for low-level half-demons like them.
The half-demon girl directly led Zhang Ling to a side room on the far left of the first floor. After a cup of tea's time, Zhang Ling left the room, and under the guidance of the girl, he went directly to the seventh floor and rented a room with the number eighteen.
Then he gave a few spirit stones and sent the girl away. Zhang Ling sat in front of the table in the room, and a cyan jade slip was placed on it. He engraved what he needed in it.
Like some rare spiritual herbs, and the celestial star stones that have not yet been fully collected, and the Yao stones. These things are the purpose of his coming here. Just hang the jade slip on the door. As long as interested cultivators will naturally find him.
And in the center of the room there is also a half-zhang-sized jade wall, which also has the news of auctioned items engraved on it, and the outer jade wall is the same.
The news on it is constantly changing, maybe the treasure he needs will appear on it.
Next, Zhang Ling stayed in his rented house.
The three auctions held here are quite special. Each one will be held for half a day. The items are often some special elixirs or extremely powerful magical treasures, and even ancient treasures may be put up for auction.
So in addition to collecting the required spiritual objects, he naturally also pays attention to these auctioned items at all times.
So after an hour or so, hundreds of auctioned items have been viewed, and there are many types of auction items, but not many are attractive to Zhang Ling. Of course, he has also bid a few times for things that he is interested in, but he has not gained much.
