Chu Ming and the others set out early the next morning. Since everyone was a warrior, even if they didn't deliberately rush, they still arrived in the capital in less than an hour.
Since the auction was held at noon, they could not reveal their identities, so under Hong Qigong's arrangement, they came to a secret base of the Beggar Clan.
Looking at the tall buildings with red walls and green tiles around him, Chu Ming couldn't help but sigh, "It's hidden in the city. Leader Hong's life is very comfortable."
"Young Master is laughing. This is the residence of a high-ranking official whose house was confiscated. Others thought it was unlucky, so it was abandoned. But the old lady doesn't have this taboo, so naturally she won't be polite."
Chu Ming didn't expect that such a big mansion would come for nothing.
"Are there many cases like this in Beijing?"
"The fight between several princes is lively, and the royal family and aristocratic families are behind it to add fuel to the flames. The officials in the capital rotate like a revolving door. One moment they are sitting high in the hall, and the next moment they may become the wronged ghost on the guillotine."
No wonder the people of the Song Dynasty are in dire straits now. This kind of fierce fighting in the court is a good explanation.
Chu Ming was a little worried about the eldest son of Shopkeeper Li's family. The chaos in the court had exceeded his expectation. Shopkeeper Li, an ordinary businessman, had no background and ran into such a dangerous environment. All the bones that had not yet been eaten were gone. Nothing left.
"Gang Leader Hong, you want to draw attention to a shopkeeper named Li from Hedong. His son works in the Ministry of Punishment and was implicated by Shangguan and imprisoned."
"Yes, sir, I will give the order immediately."
I hope shopkeeper Li is still on his way as the road is blocked due to heavy snow.
When it was almost noon, Chu Ming and the others put on their masks, used their skills and rushed towards the "first floor".
I originally thought that they would be the first big forces to arrive, but I didn't expect that Kunwu Sect, Kuangdao Sect, the Song Dynasty royal family and other major aristocratic families had already arrived.
They became the last forces to arrive.
In order to prevent the outside world from discovering the secret of "The Secret of Breath Condensation", everyone showed their true state.
The powerful strength frightened people with evil intentions, and they all began to put away their little thoughts.
Naturally, the Xihai Chamber of Commerce also prepared the most top-notch box for the Palace of Hell.
The maids in charge of welcoming guests at the auction were all innate warriors, who were considered strong in the Song Dynasty. You must know that the magistrate of Hedong County was only at the third level of innate warriors.
The box in the Hall of Hell is located at No. 3 on the third floor. Although there are a lot of people, they don't feel crowded when they enter the box.
Sitting in the box, you can take in the entire auction hall, but it also perfectly avoids the sight of other boxes, ensuring a high degree of privacy.
It can be seen that Chu Ming couldn't help but give a "thumbs up" to the profession of Xihai Chamber of Commerce.
Chu Ming estimated that those who could sit in the third-floor boxes were all the top forces in the Song Kingdom. The boxes on the second floor should be similar to those of families such as the Aristocratic Family. The unknown small forces could only sit in the hall on the first floor.
The auction officially started at noon, and the beautiful woman in charge of the auction turned out to be a strong person in the middle stage of King Wu.
"Nujia Hongyu is the auctioneer in charge of this auction. First of all, welcome all distinguished guests."
Not only does the woman look charming, but her voice is sweet to the core. I don’t know how the Xihai Chamber of Commerce cultivated her.
"Sir, is this woman pretty?"
Seeing Chu Mingyi staring at Hongyu, Shen Luoyan had some misunderstandings and asked questions curiously.
"Compared to Commander Shen, it's certainly far behind. How can a firefly compete with the bright moon?"
Chu Ming naturally knew what to say at this time. Sure enough, after hearing his praise, Shen Luoyan let him go immediately.
Seeing that Shen Luoyan's jealousy subsided, Chu Ming finally revealed his true thoughts.
"Young Master's analysis makes sense. This West Sea Chamber of Commerce is indeed not simple."
After regaining her sanity, Shen Luoyan transformed into a wise and beautiful strategist.
"Sir, there are at least three powerful men from the late Martial King period hidden in the auction house."
The Six Sword Slaves are best at concealing their traces, and the masters secretly arranged by the West Sea Chamber of Commerce to guard them naturally cannot hide it from them.
While they were talking, Hongyu had already mobilized the enthusiasm of the audience through her own talent. Seeing some warriors with red eyes on the first floor, Chu Ming knew that as soon as the auction started, they would be crazy about it. This was a good idea. The charm of the auctioneer.
"Our first item for auction today is a technique that can be practiced to the level of King Wu."
Hong Yu's words caused an uproar in the hall, and even exclamations came from the private room. "The starting price of this "Wanxiang Gong" is 200,000 taels of gold, and each increase in price shall not be less than 1,000 taels of gold."
As she finished speaking, a fierce competition began in the box on the second floor.
Naturally, the sect does not lack the martial arts of King Wu. Since the royal family has the existence of King Wu, it means that they also have the skills to at least be able to practice King Wu.
As for Chu Ming, he naturally has no shortage of skills. A large number of skills he obtained from Jian Zong's "property raids" are still shelved.
How could he possibly compete for the so-called King of Martial Arts?
In less than a cup of tea, the price has reached 570,000 taels, and there are only two families left to compete. "Old Ghost Zheng, it's not like you don't have the King of Martial Arts, why are you fighting with me?"
"Your Li family doesn't have the King Wu Kung Fu? Everyone depends on their abilities and don't talk nonsense. If you don't have the financial resources, quit as soon as possible."
Unexpectedly, the other party did not show off his face at all. The old man who spoke first was obviously very angry.
Upon hearing this, Chu Ming knew that the two families competing now were the Li family, which supported the third prince, and the Zheng family, which supported the sixth prince. It was obvious that because of what happened some time ago, the two families had become really angry, and they no longer had the calmness and calmness they had before.
In the end, the Zheng family had greater financial resources and acquired the technique for 680,000 taels of gold.
The Zheng family gained momentum after mastering the technique. "If you don't have the strength, don't imitate others and participate in the auction, otherwise you will be embarrassed."
"Old ghost Zheng, you——"
The Li family on the opposite side was so angry that they didn't know how to fight back.
The next auction items were all exercises and secret books, which were completely different from Chu Ming's imagination, which completely frustrated his idea of picking up the missing items.
It makes sense to think about it. As a barren land in the mountains and seas, the Song Dynasty could have treasures for auction.
The Xihai Chamber of Commerce is like "Targeted Poverty Alleviation", sending them much-needed exercises and secrets, as well as "Broken Mirror Pill".
"We are now entering the auction of the final treasure of this auction, the Mirror-Breaking Pill. There are three Mirror-Breaking Pills. The base price of each pill is two thousand spirit stones. The price will be increased by at least one hundred spirit stones each time. Now the auction begins. A mirror-breaking pill."
After a long wait, the Broken Mirror Pill finally appeared, and unlike other auction items, the "currency" it was priced in became a spiritual stone.
This disqualified many forces from bidding because most of the spiritual stones were in the hands of the sect.
"Two thousand spirit stones."
The first one to quote was Kunwu Sect.
"Two thousand five hundred spirit stones."
Naturally, the Crazy Blade Sect cannot show weakness.
"Three thousand spirit stones."
The Song royal family also joined the competition.
Soon the price reached 10,000 spirit stones, and the three parties began to be cautious in raising prices.
Based on past experience, most Broken Mirror Pills are sold for around 15,000 spirit stones. Over the years, the major forces have almost maintained a tacit understanding.
"Fifteen thousand spirit stones."
Chu Ming first increased the price by five thousand spirit stones. He was not familiar with any of the forces present, let alone a tacit understanding.
Hongyu did not expect to meet such a wealthy customer as the Palace of Hell, and excitedly said, "The VIP in the third box bids 15,000 spirit stones. Is there anyone who can bid higher than this price? If not, today's No. 1 The Broken Mirror Pill belongs to VIP No. 3."
"For the first time with fifteen thousand spirit stones, this is a rare opportunity to give birth to a Martial King. No matter who gets the Mirror-Breaking Pill, it will be an important boost to the development of the force."
"Fifteen thousand spirit stones for the second time."
Just when everyone thought that the Palace of Hell was about to obtain the Broken Mirror Pill, a new quote came from the west box: "Sixteen thousand spiritual stones."
Chu Ming knew that the owner of the west box was the royal family of the Song Dynasty, and he actually took the initiative to compete with the Palace of Hell. It seemed that they had been facing a lot of pressure recently.
"Twenty thousand spiritual stones."
Chu Ming didn't bother to bother with them, so he raised the price of the spirit stone to 20,000.
Anyway, what he lacks most now is spiritual stones, and the mountain of spiritual stones in his system space is constantly expanding.
No matter how busy everyone is, they will always take time to act as "miners", which has become their pleasure.
This offer from the Palace of Hell also made the royal family completely lose the idea of competing.
Hongyu did not expect such an unexpected surprise, and hurriedly asked loudly, "Is there any friend who bids higher? If there is no first mirror-breaking pill, it will belong to box three."
"Twenty thousand spiritual stones for the first time, twenty thousand spiritual stones for the second time, twenty thousand spiritual stones for the third time. Congratulations to the distinguished guest in box three for receiving the Mirror-Breaking Pill."
"The sect of the Song Kingdom is really a loser. It was suppressed by a killer organization in the world and was unable to raise its head. It is really a disgrace to the sect."
Just when the dust had settled, a provocative voice spread throughout the hall.
"If you, the Gu Hua Sect of Wei State, think you are powerful, you can take the lead in challenging the Palace of Hell!"
Kunwu Sect is naturally a fan of watching the excitement and is not afraid of big troubles. They also know that Guhua Sect is here for them.
Because at the auction in Wei State, they took away the Broken Mirror Pill that originally belonged to the Gu Hua Sect.
If it weren't for the great elder's vigilance and the multiple plans they had planned in advance, there would be a question as to whether the Broken Mirror Pill could reach the Song Kingdom safely.
But the Broken Mirror Pill, which was bought through all kinds of difficulties and dangers, has mysteriously disappeared "at home", and I still haven't been able to figure it out.
After handing over the spirit stones and obtaining the Mirror-Breaking Pill, Chu Ming watched the fight between the two sides with great interest.
The spiritual stones that Chu Ming paid were all seized from the Sword Sect. The spiritual stones in Shengxian Valley were obviously more concentrated and did not have the sense of vicissitudes of history.
