54. Chapter 54 Transactions

The old man worked in this treasure appraisal room for many years. He has not been able to identify a thousand treasures, but there are eight hundred treasures. It is no wonder that he has never seen any rare treasures. Now he can shock him so much that he loses his composure on the spot. It is enough to prove that the scroll in Ye Shuo's hand is extraordinary! In any case, this time of treasure appraisal will definitely not be returning empty-handed.

"You...where did you get this thing?" He slapped the table, and the old man held the scroll with his hands trembling. His finger bones were faintly bluish and white due to excessive force. The next moment he stared at Ye Shuo with his eyes wide open and asked urgently.

"This..." Ye Shuo was a little confused when he asked. Although he found that the scroll was nothing ungrateful, would the old man feel that with his strength, he would not be able to obtain such a precious treasure, and suspected that he had made it in some improper way? Or maybe the scroll itself was circulated in a self-auction store, stolen by someone, and was lost in the cave by chance and picked it up by him? Otherwise, could the other party intend to take the treasure and kill people to silence him? For a moment, a series of dangerous warnings appeared in Ye Shuo's mind. This was a problem that he had never considered in his past, and perhaps he really responded to the four words "care is chaos".

Ye Shuo was in a lot of troubles in his mind. Seeing that he had not answered for a long time, the old man smiled and said warmly: "I'm asking abruptly. I just don't know if there is any remaining in my hands for this kind of thing?" While slowly stroking his white beard, he sat down opposite him again.

Many of the auction items brought out by the guests who came to the auction house were obtained through improper means, otherwise there were other hidden secrets. It was not the first day that the auction house opened and did business. With the original intention of money first, as long as the items sold could be sold at a high price in the venue, the staff usually would not pursue the source of the treasure from the guests. The old man would blurt out in shock, which could only be attributed to him being a major abnormality.

Ye Shuo thought about it and could say it, so he honestly replied: "No more. This part was obtained by chance in a dangerous place. Even if the part behind was available, it might be scattered in every corner of the spiritual world continent."

The old man nodded slightly, then shook his head and sighed: "Oh, it's a pity, it's a pity! This is a fragment of the mind method passed down from ancient times, which also records the origins of ten special professions on the continent today. Although spiritual practitioners are constantly developing and their cultivation methods are constantly developing, some of the magical cultivation methods have been lost as they grow older. I never expected that there are ancient books in the contemporary world that can be reproduced in the world!

This is enough for spiritual cultivators in any field to serve as a treasure for the sect, and even those big sects have to fight for even if they break the ground! If they can collect a complete set, it will definitely be priceless..."

"Then... if it is a broken scroll, is it worthless?" Ye Shuo heard the old man sighing, feeling so nervous that he fell out of his cold sweat. He asked with his breath. He didn't care how precious this treasure would be after collecting a complete set. All he cared about was whether he could pass the level in front of him safely, and whether he could raise enough funds before the auction to buy the Jiuqu Xuanyin Pill!

Chu Tianyao frowned secretly when he heard this. People with a little brain should know that since they are gathered together and priceless, even if they are broken up to only one of the parts, they will never be worthless. If they meet a more unscrupulous merchant, after hearing Ye Shuo's words, they would probably have taken the opportunity to offer an ultra-low price and then make a fortune.

The old man came to his senses, pressed his hands down, and smiled and said, "Don't worry. I said it's a pity, but it's a pity that I didn't get the blessing of auctioning the entire set of treasures in one go. I remember that the set of top magic weapons that were auctioned the previous auction was still many years ago.

Looking back at that time, everyone robbed the auction, and the price was almost like a cannonball. Several of the most competitive buyers were reluctant to give in, and even the president had to come forward to maintain order several times. The hot atmosphere really made the blood in the body boil!"

The old man talked a long line. Seeing Ye Shuo staring at him without blinking, he knew that he had been pulling far away. He waved his hand and brought the topic back calmly: "But even if it is a fragment of ancient books, there are definitely many buyers who are attracted to me, and they will definitely be able to sell for a good price. Well, wait for me to see...

The auction floor price may be set at about one million spirit stones. After auction and some proper operations, I think it should be sold at about one million to two million spirit stones."

Ye Shuo blinked, without saying anything, as if he was hesitating.

"Why, do you think it's too low?" The old man's face darkened, "Little brother, this price is not low! Look, first of all, this mental method is just a fragment..."

As a professional treasure appraiser, his income will also increase with the price of the treasures he received. Of course, he cannot guarantee the specific amount of the transaction price. What he is most worried about now is that Ye Shuo will change his mind and not auction it here because he questioned the price is too low, so he would lose a fortune in vain.

Therefore, he almost did his best to use his professional knowledge to fully demonstrate to Ye Shuo how worthwhile the price was.

"Well... Actually, I don't know whether the price is high or low." After he was dry, Ye Shuo still looked like he was ignorant and said with a silence. "I only know that if you buy small vegetables in the vegetable market, you can buy all the vegetables. No, you should have bought the entire vegetable market. But at the auction, I don't know if it's enough to see it. What price can you buy other items in previous years be sold at the auction?"

"You said it earlier!" The old man slapped his thigh, but it would be easier to deal with it as long as he didn't dislike the low price. He felt more relaxed and explained it harder: "The transaction price in previous years... Of course, this also depends on the specific preciousness of the treasure, plus the ability of the presidency of the auctioneer, which varies from level to level.

Sometimes there will be some malicious bidding behaviors in the audience. Those who really need it are unable to do so, and they are rich and have to buy it at almost double the price. For this approach... we are happy to see it. However, except for a few items with the highest and lowest prices, the general transaction price is about 50,000 to 300,000 spirit stones. But if there are a first-class treasure, such as the last time when the top-level magic weapon was auctioned, this price..."

"What about treasures like Jiuqu Xuanyin Pill?" Seeing that the old man was about to bring out the glory of the top magic weapon again, he bragged endlessly, Ye Shuo quickly interrupted him. After thinking about it, he finally carefully reported the goal of this trip.

"The Nine-Curve Xuanyin Pill..." The old man gently tapped the table with his fingers. "This thing is made of nine kinds of strange flowers and plants. It is not very rare, and it is not difficult to refine it. To be said, it is only expensive because the nine kinds of strange flowers and plants are scarce resources. They usually only appear in extremely dangerous places and are extremely difficult to find. It is not easy to gather nine kinds of them. It happened that one happened to appear at this auction. The transaction price is about 150,000 spirit stones, which is very good."

"Fifteen thousand spirit stones..." Ye Shuo bent his five fingers and calculated it, and then compared it carefully with the previous number: "Well... I can afford it even if I am careless. OK, then let's make a deal!"

The old man was instantly happy, carefully put away the scroll, took out a storage ring and pushed it on the table: "This is a deposit, a total of 20,000 spirit stones, all of which are here."

"Download?" Ye Shuo heard that the amount suddenly dropped so much, so he started to anxiously: "Why is the deposit? Don't make it, it's already settled! I must be auctioned here, so you'd better give me the full amount."

Chu Tianyao was so depressed that he wanted to hit him to death.

"Little brother, it seems that you are not very clear about the rules of this auction house?" The old man couldn't help laughing.

"Well, I'm not sure, is there anything special?" Ye Shuo nodded seriously.

"After the customer handed over the auction item to us, if it was confirmed that it had reached the auction value, we would first pay a certain amount of deposit to the customer, which means that we had bought it, so that some customers would not suddenly regret it before the auction. After we had already promoted the auction item a lot, this practice would undoubtedly cause us great losses. Therefore, it would rather suffer a small loss before the auction.

After the transaction is established, until the auction is completed, the treasures will be stored here for temporary storage. After the official auction, except for the store to charge some handling fees, the remaining amount belongs to the seller himself. Therefore, paying the payment is also after the auction ends." The old man explained with a smile. He just started a big business and naturally felt refreshed. Even if Ye Shuo asked a few more stupid questions, he could answer them with absolute patience and meticulous attitude.

"In this way, if I auction other treasures at the auction, can I use the money obtained from the auction to pay the price of another treasure after the auction?" Ye Shuo was most concerned about this issue. After all, he is still penniless except for that insignificant deposit.

"No problem. Anyway, the payment and payment are held after the auction. You can handle both procedures at the same time. Of course, the premise is that the amount you earned from the auction is enough to pay the price of another treasure." The old man still smiled kindly.

"This should be enough. Hehe, you said enough just now. OK, let's make a deal now!"

"Well, the deposit is a total of 20,000 spirit stones. You can take a closer look." The old man did not forget to remind him.

"Okay." Ye Shuo waved his hand, and immediately there was a clamor, and a large number of spirit stones filled the table in a blink of an eye.

"What are you doing?" The old man was obviously surprised.

"Didn't you ask me to take a closer look?" Ye Shuo spread his hands innocently, "If you don't pour out all the spirit stones, how can you count them?"

Chu Tianyao could no longer bear it, and resisted the urge to vomit blood, bowed to the old man and said, "I'm really sorry, my junior brother went down the mountain to experience it for the first time, and he knew too little about common sense, which caused you trouble."

"It's okay, it's okay." The old man waved his hand and turned to Ye Shuo and explained: "This storage ring is very convenient. You just need to drop blood to recognize the master first, then integrate your spiritual consciousness into it, and after a little detection, you will know the exact number. There is no need to be such trouble."

Ye Shuo looked at Chu Tianyao and said innocently: "Senior Brother, you didn't say it earlier."

"This is your seat number. The auction will officially begin at 7:30 in three days. Don't be late!" The old man took out a card made of green jade from the counter and handed it to Ye Shuo.

The two of them then turned around and went downstairs and left the auction house.

"Ye Shuo?" A figure that was about to step into the gate immediately disappeared into the corner. After the two had already walked away, they pointed to one of them and whispered to the other person beside him: "Father, that's Ye Shuo." At this time, his face gradually appeared from the shadow. It was the disciple of the Star-breaking Sect, Ruan Shi, who had always had a grudge against Ye Shuo!
