Wangjiang Road is still some distance away from the Tianjin Polytechnic University, Lan Xiaobu came over in advance, he first stepped on the location, if it is not right, there is also time to go back.
This is an old street that is not too busy nor too depressed, and on both sides of the old street there are some old shops and old buildings. Lan Xiaobu walked all the way there and found that no matter how he searched, the last door number on Wangjiang Road was 290, where did the 291 come from?
Unwillingly, Lan Xiaobu searched around No. 290 many times, and still did not see the shadow of No. 291. He was about to ask the owner of No. 290, but saw a man in a black trench coat walked to the door of No. 290, and then lit a cigarette.
Blue Xiaobu subconsciously stopped, No. 291 was obviously somewhat special, if he went to ask like this, was he telling others that he was a newcomer who had just obtained a Thousand Sound Auction Card?
Blue Xiaobu left as if nothing had happened and walked further away to a snack bar to order a few dishes and a bottle of beer.
He judged that if the Thousand Voices Card Deck in his hand wasn’t an impostor, then the Thousand Voices Auction must be in this place. Since it was in this place, he didn’t need to go back and wait for Shang Wei, who was bound to come here.
An hour passed, and when Lan Xiaobu realised that the man in the black trench coat was still smoking, he knew that he was right to be careful. There was definitely something wrong with that black trench coat, otherwise it would take more than an hour to smoke a cigarette?
At the moment, Lan Xiaobu was determined to wait here for Shang Wei to come over, and when he did, he would follow him. No matter where 291 was hidden, if he wanted to go to 291, he would have to pass through his eyes.
Another hour passed, and the man in the black trench coat didn’t leave, which in turn allowed Lan Xiaobu to see some clues. There were more than ten people who entered a private underground car park, what made Lan Xiaobu suspicious was that these people entered the car park, not driving in, but walking in. What made Lan Xiaobu most suspicious was that most of these people who went in were wearing masks, or large sunglasses and hats.
That car park Blue Xiaobu had seen before, it was written as a private car park, and there was a marking next to it, suspended. The car park is outside is open, there is no gate. Instead, after entering the car park inside, there seems to be a gate.
A bottle of beer a person drank more than two hours, and then stay to go is not quite appropriate. Lan Xiaobu settled the bill, also put on a mask and sunglasses, and walked towards the private car park.
When Blue Xiaobu passed by 290, he clearly felt the man in the black trench coat’s gaze fall on him. Although he didn’t turn around to look, the intuition of a martial artist made him think that he hadn’t sensed anything wrong.
Until Lan Xiaobu turned into that private car park, the man in the black trench coat did not stop him.
After entering the open car park, Lan Xiaobu breathed a sigh of relief. The gate entrance inside the car park was unguarded, but the door was closed. Moreover, this door was not the kind of gate lever of an unusual garage, but an iron door, which was a bit rusty. Just as Lan Xiaobu was puzzled, he saw a place to swipe his card. Almost without any hesitation, he took out the Thousand Sound Auction card and swiped it.
With a “drop” sound, the iron door opened, Lan Xiaobu sighed in relief, his judgement was correct.
As soon as the iron door opened, Lan Xiaobu saw a number plate, Wangjiang Road 291. He cursed in his heart, how big of a brain back hole does this have to be to cover up the number plate behind the iron gate?
In front of him was a two to three metre wide concrete road, which sloped downwards and extended all the way down. When Lan Xiaobu walked about ten metres or so, a side door appeared beside him. Even though the cement road was still extending, Blue Xiaobu did not hesitate to turn towards the side door. This was purely an intuition, Lan Xiaobu felt that further ahead should be the real garage, and this side door should be the place he went to.
Sure enough, after entering the side door, there was another card swipe door, which Blue Xiaobu once again swiped open with the card from the Thousand Sound Auction.
As soon as the door opened, the scene in front of him suddenly became different, a red carpet extended directly to a huge hall. Even if Lan Xiaobu hadn’t participated in an auction before, he only needed to sweep a glance to know that this hall was the auction hall.
There were people standing at the left and right corners of the door, none of these people came up to question or stop Lan Xiaobu.
There were many seats in the hall, all in the form of card seats, and it looked like they should be sitting casually. Some of the people who came in at the front, some of them didn’t take their seats, and there were a few familiar ones chatting about something on the side. Lan Xiaobu also did not enter the card seats, he similarly stood in a corner, he was waiting for Shang Wei to come over.
Although there were many hidden guards around, not a single person came up to disturb Lan Xiaobu as he stood here.
People came in one after another, some started to take their seats, and the auction hall was soon half full. Lan Xiaobu stared at everyone who came in, he believed that even if Shang Wei had changed his appearance just like him, he could recognise them.
After another half an hour or so, Lan Xiaobu saw Shang Wei. Shang Wei was also wearing sunglasses and a mask, and his clothes had been changed into a set of coffee-coloured casual clothes. Even if his face was not exposed, Lan Xiaobu still recognised him at first sight.
Walking in front of Shang Wei was a middle-aged man with a very robust figure, and this man’s appearance was not covered, with a full beard.
Lan Xiaobu waited for Shang Wei to walk past him before following him.
Coming to this auction was an impromptu idea, or rather if it wasn’t for the fact that Shang Wei was coming, Lan Xiaobu wouldn’t even necessarily come here. He didn’t have any money on him at all, so he came to the auction just to watch. The reason he came along with Shang Wei was that he wanted to wait for the auction to end and follow him to his home.
Why Shang Wei could cultivate to innate in just two years, before Lan Xiaobu didn’t have much of an idea about this, now after he started to cultivate, he was sure in his heart that this 100% had a secret.
It looks like the guy with a full beard should be Shang Wei’s Uncle Xiong. Lan Xiaobu waited for Shang Wei and Uncle Xiong to be seated before taking a seat on the card table at the back.
The auction hadn’t started yet, so Lan Xiaobu sat behind the two of them, listening to the bearded guy tell Shang Wei about the Thousand Tones Auction and the celebrities that had come to the auction, and at the same time, he began to have some understanding of the Thousand Tones Auction.
The Thousand Voices Auction is the world’s top auction, and every time there will be treasures of global interest. The Thousand Voices Auction is also divided into grades, the S grade Thousand Voices Auction is already considered very high, so good things are bound to appear tonight. The people who can come to the Thousand Sound Auction are all prominent figures from various parties, and they can’t just come in with money.
What night pearl, South Africa seven coloured diamonds, longevity-enhancing medicine and other treasures, have appeared in the Thousand Sound Auction.
Lan Xiaobu is still listening to the time, the hall lights suddenly dimmed down, only a beam of soft light shines on the auction stage, the auction table appeared a tall woman wearing a cheongsam. At this moment, Lan Xiaobu found that the auction hall did not know when they were seated more than seventy percent, which made Lan Xiaobu guess that he had made a mistake in judgement before, the entrance to this auction should be more than just the one he came in.
The cheongsam woman wore a smile, ”Welcome old friends of Thousand Voices to this auction, in fact, the Thousand Voices S-class auction is rarely the same as today’s, releasing the news only one day before the auction begins. Many people old friends are a little confused, I also on behalf of the auction side here to explain. After the end of this auction of the Thousand Sound Auction, there will be no more auctions held within a year ……”
After these words were said, there were more whispered comments from below. Lan Xiaobu heard someone say that the Thousand Sound Auction was held at least six times a year, and sometimes twelve times. After this auction, there were no auctions for a year, so it seemed a bit unusual.
The cheongsam woman didn’t continue to explain, but said, “In order to save everyone’s time, the auction will now begin. The first auction item is a pair of Zhang Hong’s progressive map, perhaps some people do not understand Zhang Hong, I briefly introduce, Zhang Hong is a famous painter in the Ming Dynasty, the most good landscape. This picture has a reserve price of 500,000, each increase shall not be less than 10,000, now start bidding ……”
Lan Xiaobu hadn’t participated in an auction, but he knew some auction common sense. In general, the auctioneer should try to advertise the value of the bidding item in order to fetch a high price. Instead, this cheongsam woman simply introduced the author’s age and specialisation and then ended it.
What Lan Xiaobu didn’t expect was that the painting was snapped up by a large number of people, and was finally taken away at a price of one million seven hundred and sixty thousand.
The bidding items that appeared after that were briefly introduced by the woman presiding over the auction, while each item would cause a scramble. One of the Buddhist relics was even auctioned at a price of nearly two hundred million.
It looks like the things that come out of this auction are not fake, they must all be genuine, otherwise they wouldn’t cause such a mad rush.
Lan Xiaobu has no money, he just look at the lively, his main purpose is to stare at Shang Wei. However, in front of him, Shang Wei’s Uncle Xiong likewise didn’t make a bid, and didn’t even quote a price.
“Next to bid is a group of prescriptions, this group of prescriptions is rumoured to have been handed down from ancient times, allowing internal strength cultivators to harden their muscles and bones ……”
Before the cheongsam woman presiding over the auction could finish her words, Lan Xiaobu’s heart shook. He suddenly regretted that he hadn’t sold that sheep’s white jade first. This was what he wanted, ah, a prescription for internal strength cultivating martial artists to quench their sinews and bones. He had progressed quickly in the Hardening Strength segment, and since crossing into the Bone Forging realm, his realm had almost stagnated. He guessed that it would be the lack of a prescription for forging bones, and wasn’t the purpose of him coming here to look for Shang Wei the secret of why Shang Wei was able to cross over into the innate in two years’ time?
Now that he hadn’t found the reason why Shang Wei had crossed over into the innate, he unexpectedly met the prescription for bone forging, which simply drove Lan Xiaobu crazy, the key was that he didn’t have any money.
No, he saw the prescription and Shang Wei was here, could it be that Shang Wei purchased the prescription and that’s why he was able to cross into the innate so quickly?
Lan Xiaobu immediately gathered his mind and placed his gaze on Shang Wei and the bearded Uncle Xiong next to him.
