Chapter 12 News
It is better to travel thousands of miles than to read thousands of books - this is a saying that Tang De often used to say. After participating in the morning auction, Zhang Tie really understood the meaning of this sentence, so in the afternoon, even if he did not bid for anything other than the golden unicorn fairy, Zhang Tie was not going to miss those splits auctions.
For Zhang Tie, a boy who grew up in an ordinary family in Heiyan City, this auction is definitely a great opportunity to improve his horizons. If it wasn't for the rune ring, if Zhang Tie wanted to participate in such an auction, he would have to struggle for many years to be eligible.
The first separate auction at 2 o'clock in the afternoon was dedicated to potions and elixir. In this auction, Zhang Tie saw the long-known low-level, mid-level, recovery potions, and the low-level potions at the auction. Restoration potions are auctioned by group. The number of low-level restoration potions in each group is 50, and the base price is 1200 gold coins per group. Most of the low-level restoration potions are sold at around 1800 gold coins. There are a lot of them, there are 86 groups. After the first round of bidding, the following bids and auctions are very fast. Most people’s subsequent quotations are mostly close to the transaction price at one time, so the 86 groups of low-level recovery potions are very fast. It was sold out at auction.
Low-level recovery potions can heal most of the minor injuries to the body. Zhang Tie, who already has a low-level recovery body, naturally can't use these low-level recovery potions. Therefore, Zhang Tie bought a set of primary recovery potions at a price of 1860 gold coins.
Intermediate recovery potions are also sold in groups of ten, the starting price is 1400 gold coins per group, and the final transaction price is around 2100 gold coins.
What surprised Zhang Tie was that he didn't see advanced recovery potions at the auction.
"Grandpa, why didn't you see advanced recovery potions in this auction?" In the auction booth, a man wearing a brass mask sitting in front of Zhang Tie turned his face and asked a similarly dressed man next to him. People, conspicuous, Zhang Tie is far from the only one who has the same doubts as Zhang Tie.
Maybe the two people in front of them were also eye-opening for the grandfather and grandson to the auction, Zhang Tie secretly thought.
"There are not many pharmacists who can make high-level recovery potions, and all the high-level recovery potions that are manufactured are basically ordered and collected by those big forces as soon as they come out. Because they can quickly heal wounds at critical moments, they can Life-saving, so it is more useful. There were several high-level recovery potions in last year's auction, but this year's auction has no high-level recovery potions, and the prices of low-level and mid-level recovery potions have also risen compared to last year. 30% and more than 50%, and the amount of outflow is less, alas..." The old man finally sighed.
"Why is this happening?"
"Because winter is coming..." the old man whispered.
When the old man said this, several people nearby heard it too, and everyone was silent, without saying a word.
After the separate auction of potions and elixirs, Zhang Tie also saw several other magical potions. Among those potions, there was actually a cross-dressing combination potion. A set of cross-dressing combination potions consisted of four potions. , which are eye dyeing potion, skin rejuvenating potion, hair dyeing potion and whitening potion. Dropping the eye-dye potion into the eyes can change the color of a person's eyes, drinking the skin-changing potion can change a person's skin color, and the hair-dye potion is even simpler, just comb it on the hair with a comb. Compared with the mask that De left for himself to change the outside, this seems to be another idea of cross-dressing, especially eye dye and hair dye,
In Zhang Tie's view, it is more like some kind of cosmetics that women like. Only skin rejuvenation potions can truly be called potions. This set of disguise medicine can last for two months after use. If you want to restore your original appearance within two months, then you only need to take the whitening medicine, which looks very beautiful. convenience.
Compared with the previous expensive auction items, the price of each set of these cross-dressing combination potions is not very expensive. The starting price of a set of cross-dressing combination potions is only more than 100 gold coins. Feeling that these things are a bit tasteless, Zhang Tie bought three sets of cross-dressing combination potions at a price of less than 400 gold coins with little effort.
In the later auction, Zhang Tie also successfully photographed four groups of golden unicorns. It seemed that many alchemists participated in the later auction, so according to the rules of the auction house, everyone participating The maximum number of bids for the same thing cannot exceed four groups, which made Zhang Tie's plan to double his power again in a short period of time come to naught when he bid for more than ten groups of golden unicorns.
Moreover, Zhang Tie found that when he raised his placard to auction the third group of golden unicorns, all the eyes of the people in the auction venue were focused on him. Almost no one came to bid with him, and everyone turned their heads. Come and look at yourself, each of them seems to want to see through the brass mask on their faces. This made Zhang Tie feel a little apprehensive, not knowing why he had attracted so much attention all of a sudden. And when Zhang Tie raised his cards to the fourth group of golden unicorns, even though he was wearing two masks, Zhang Tie still felt a little itchy on the skin of his face, and the temperature of the gazes gathered on his face, All of a sudden it became extremely hot. Moreover, even the auctioneer's attitude towards him seemed to be quite respectful. The fourth group of golden unicorns was also bought by Zhang Tie at the bidding price when no one bid.
It wasn't until the end of the auction that Zhang Tie knew what made him stand out.
...
"Master, please stay!" Just as Zhang Tie was about to leave, several people who were in the same venue walked towards Zhang Tie and stopped Zhang Tie respectfully. After stopping Zhang Tie, a large group of people quickly gathered around Zhang Tie.
Grandmaster? When did you become a master? Zhang Tie remained calm and just asked, "Why are you stopping me?"
Because Zhang Tie had taken voice-changing pills, Zhang Tie's voice at the moment made people unable to tell his age at all. It sounded rough and hoarse, and Zhang Tie was not tall. With his voice, It is easy for people to misunderstand that he is an old man.
Under the circumstances of being misunderstood by others, no matter how those people looked at Zhang Tie, they felt that Zhang Tie fit the image of a master in their hearts - he was not young, had a lonely personality, and walked alone...
"We are all pharmacists participating in the auction. We are all from various cities in the former Andaman League. Tonight we have a gathering of pharmacists in the clubhouse on the top terrace of the hotel. I wonder if we can have the honor to invite you, master. welcome……"
"I'm not a master!" Although he didn't know why these people misunderstood him as a master, Zhang Tie still confessed honestly that although Zhang Tie was curious about this kind of gathering of elixir masters, he also knew that if he rashly If he went there, he would be exposed 100% on the spot. He didn't want to have a bunch of enemies of the alchemist who felt that he was being teased. Looking at the brass masks around him, Zhang Tie actually felt a little nervous , because he thought of a possibility that Master Abian of Black Yan City might be among these people, and he had a relationship with Abian after killing Samira himself. In this case, Zhang Tie dared not I went to the party of that elixir master.
Zhang Tie's guess was right, An Zhen was among those alchemists, and he was in the crowd in front of him.
Under the brass mask, Master Abian's eyes shone with a strange light. He looked at Zhang Tie who was also wearing a mask, thinking about thoughts that only he knew.
"The master can buy four groups of golden unicorns at the auction at one time, it must be used to make strength potions, if it is just for research, the master will not take so many golden unicorns, although our Some red-robed pill pharmacists in the group can already touch some of the mysteries of the power potion by using the golden unicorn, but only the real yellow-robed pharmacists can master the mystery of drawing powerful power from the golden unicorn. It will be a great honor for us to receive the guidance of the master!" The person who said this bowed to Zhang Tie again, and all the elixir masters around him also bowed to Zhang Tie.
In the world of pill pharmacists, strength is also respected. As a red-robed pill pharmacist, Abian can be called a master in Heiyan City. Then, as a yellow-robed pill pharmacist, a person standing at the seventh place in the world of pill pharmacists People on the ladder of brilliance are already qualified to be called masters in more places. And even among the pill pharmacists, a yellow-robed pill pharmacist can get enough respect.
Zhang Tie swallowed quietly, thinking about how to pass the test before him. He didn't expect that a few sets of golden unicorns in the auction house would cause him such trouble. What should he do? You definitely can't go to the party. As for the present, slapping a lot of elixir masters in the face in public to prove that they are blind. If this kind of thing is really done, there will be a lot of trouble. It wasn't used to refine any potion of strength, so why did I take so many golden unicorns? It would be a big trouble if someone really took this matter to dig into the root of the problem and stared at him...
There is no way, only to start the "Cave Savage Survival Mode" again.
"I won't go to your party, I don't like excitement!" Zhang Tie said lightly.
"Then I don't know where the master is staying. Will we have a chance to come to listen to the teachings!"
"I said, I don't like being disturbed!"
Many masked people around had expressions of disappointment and a trace of dissatisfaction. In the eyes of those people, they had already done enough courtesy, but this weird yellow-robed pharmacist was too disrespectful to everyone. up.
The long-term working experience in a grocery store has made Zhang Tie keenly smell the dissatisfaction in the air.
"However, since I can meet you here today, I can't bear to let everyone down. I have some experience, and maybe I can save you some detours and less time to explore on the road to advancement in the future!" Zhang Tie pretended Said solemnly.
"Master, please advise?" The people around bowed to Zhang Tie again.
After thinking about the paragraphs below the fruit of redemption that he saw for the first time, Zhang Tie pretended to ponder and then slowly said a word, "The secret of the potion of strength does not lie in the golden unicorn. Genes, but in the extraction of the spiritual fire from the golden unicorn!"
As soon as Zhang Tie said this, several red-robed pharmacists including Abian were shocked, and they couldn't help but bowed to Zhang Tie again, their attitude was ten times more respectful than last time.
Most of the pharmacists around knew each other's identities. Seeing the attitudes of these red-robed pharmacists, they couldn't understand the value of Zhang Tie's words just now, and quickly bowed to Zhang Tie again. At the same time, he firmly kept Zhang Tie's words in his heart. "May I ask the master's name?" Abian, wearing a brass mask, took a step forward and asked respectfully.
"I won't stay in Karur City for too long, and I will leave soon, so it doesn't matter what my name is!" Zhang Tie waved his hand, acting like a master, and ignored these people , but went straight to the door. This time, the elixir masters around him automatically stepped aside and watched Zhang Tie leave the venue with the most respectful attitude.
Unexpectedly, he really bluffed these people with his words of generating the fruit of redemption, Zhang Tie breathed a sigh of relief quietly.
Don't be in the limelight anymore, Zhang Tie seriously warned himself.
...
Shortly after returning to his room from the auction at the end of the day, Zhang Tie returned to his room and received what he bought at the auction—a crystal pyramid, a set of low-level recovery potions, and three sets of cross-dressing Combination potion, the staff of the auction house who sent these things told Zhang Tie that after deducting the price of these three items, the remaining auction proceeds of his rune ring had been remitted to Jinpeng Bank, Zhang Tie As long as you go to Jinpeng Bank, you can withdraw cash.
"Where are the four sets of golden unicorns I bought?" Zhang Tie asked the staff of the auction house. This was the question he was most concerned about.
"All the golden unicorns in this auction come from the exclusive breeding farm of an elder family of the Alchemist Union in the Carlo Federation. According to the usual practice, after the auction is confirmed, the airship of the Alchemist Union will It will take five days to transport those golden unicorns to Karur City, so the delivery time of the golden unicorns can only be five days later!" The staff of the auction house replied.
five days? Five days is five days. Since the seller is so rich and powerful, and it seems that this is already a common practice, Zhang Tie has no objection. Anyway, he is also waiting for news of contacting his family in Karur City these days. Wait a few days.
So Zhang Tie continued to live in the hotel quietly, doing three things every day, eating, sleeping, and practicing...
And from the next day, when Zhang Tie stood on the balcony of the hotel and looked through the binoculars, he really did not see the scene of the airships of the Norman Empire and the Sun God Dynasty fighting in the sky. The column of smoke rising into the sky also seemed to be much less.
On the third day, the smoke pillars in the distant mountains disappeared, and in Karur, there was already news that the Sun God Dynasty and Karur were about to cease fighting.
In the past few days, under Zhang Tie's daily practice and familiarity, Zhang Tie has become more and more proficient in using the storage function of the Black Iron Castle. At this time, Zhang Tie is holding a cup and wants to put it in the cup. If the water becomes full, the whole process has been very smooth, and no more water will overflow. After thoroughly familiarizing himself with this new ability, Zhang Tie discovered that this function actually has some limitations. For example, Zhang Tie cannot bring living animals into the Black Iron Fort through this function, and at the same time cannot bring living animals from the Black Iron Castle. Use this function to bring it out in the Iron Fortress, even if it is a mosquito. At the same time, Zhang Tie can use this function to send the plants in his hands into the Black Iron Fort, and let A-Gump and the others plant them on the ground, but he cannot use this function to use this function on a piece of grass that has already grown on the ground in the Black Iron Fort. Move it out, unless the grass has been uprooted.
Heller told Zhang Tie that this is the biggest characteristic of the space storage function of the Black Iron Castle, because the space door in Zhang Tie's sea of knowledge can only be opened to the soul fluctuations of Zhang Tie, a carbon-based life, and Zhang Tie has The only spiritual life has the right to enter and exit freely. Other spiritual beings who want to enter the Black Iron Fortress can only be brought in by Zhang Tie when the door of space is opened for Zhang Tie.
On the fourth day, Zhang Tie finally received news from his family and the Zhang family of Huaiyuantang...
