On this day, Du Feng got up early and went out with Niuer to the auction house.
Why did they dare to be so open and aboveboard? Because this was not a black market auction, but an official salt merchants' conference. At the same time, an auction would be held through formal channels. Therefore, the auction was held in a hall next to the City Lord's Mansion. No one would dare to make trouble inside.
Niuer and Du Feng were certainly given a good VIP room because of their relationship with Niu Guitian.
Tsk tsk tsk … Interesting, the VIP room here was not luxurious, but pastoral. Du Feng now understood why Niuer's father was called Niu Guitian. He really liked pastoral style.
The private room wasn't small. It wasn't decorated with mahogany chairs or a square table. Instead, there was a grape trellis. The grape rack was full of grapes. The shiny grapes were translucent, like emeralds clustered together.
The light shone on it, creating a quiet atmosphere. What was more troublesome was that there were no chairs or stools here, but two swings were built on the grape rack. Du Feng and Niuer, sitting on the swings, were enjoying the scene of the salt merchants' conference while swinging.
Uh … It seemed to be a bit of a bad taste. He never thought that Niu Guitian, known as the Bull Demon King, had such an innocent side.
"How is it? Not bad, right? I asked for this room on purpose. My father liked this room the most."
Puff! Du Feng almost spat. It turned out that Niuer asked for it on purpose. He thought that all the VIP rooms in the auction house were like this. What was even funnier was that Niuer swung around on the swing, crossing his legs like an ignorant girl. He was actually addicted to it.
"Well, it's not bad. You have fun."
Du Feng was also speechless for a while. Watching Niuer swing there, he sat on it honestly. At this time, how could he still be in the mood to swing? The auction was about to start. Because of his internal connections, he already knew that the mermaid skeleton was arranged as the last item in the first half.
Actually, with the preciousness of the mermaid skeleton, it should have been placed at the last few spots in the second half. The reason why it was arranged for the first half was of course to take care of Du Feng. Niuer had already told Du Feng that he needed to leave Salt Lake City today.
As for why he needed to leave, Niu Er didn't explain too much, mainly because Niu Guitian didn't tell him the real reason.
However, Du Feng knew that Niu Er must have been forced to do so, which was why Niu Er said such a thing. It was also related to the safety of the citizens of Salt Lake City, which was why someone like Niu Guitian would compromise. Therefore, he did not complain. Instead, he was very grateful. He was grateful for the shelter and care he had received in the past six months.
Niu Guitian also asked Niu Er to bring a message to Du Feng, which was to not leave Salt Lake City or the auction house after he was done shopping. As for how to get there, someone would arrange it after it was over.
Just as Du Feng was thinking about these things, the auction had officially begun. Many of the warriors in the hall directly placed a few large basins on the table in front of them, which were filled with crystal salt. Some people were even more amazing, placing a few iron buckets on the ground, which were also filled with crystal salt.
Well, no wonder this auction was called the Salt Merchant's Conference. It turned out that everyone came with large buckets of crystal salt. If one wanted to bid for something, they basically had to pay with crystal salt. The bidder who paid with immortal stones would definitely lose to the bidder who paid with salt if they had the same value.
It didn't matter if these people didn't run out of salt in the end, because there were also a group of businessmen from other places, all of whom came with money. They would eventually collect the remaining crystal salt on the scene, and they had brought enough money.
Interesting. Seeing how lively the hall was, even Du Feng was a little envious. However, for the convenience of evacuation later, it was better for him to stay in the VIP room. Amidst the noise of the crowd, the first item was already on the stage.
This first treasure was beyond Du Feng's expectations, because it was a bunch of grapes, and it looked very similar to the grapes in their room.
What, were the grapes in this room worth a lot of money? Thinking of this, Du Feng quickly picked one and stuffed it into his mouth. As a result, as soon as the grape entered his mouth, it was so sour that his teeth hurt. What the hell, how could it be so sour.
"Hahahaha … I'm dying of laughter, those grapes are not ripe yet!"
Niu Er swung and patted his thigh, because those grapes were really not ripe yet. If he had lost, he would have invited Du Feng to eat together. The bunch of grapes on the stage was ripe, and it had changed from a translucent emerald color to a completely transparent state. It was really crystal clear and looked like a work of art.
"Uh, why didn't you say so earlier."
Du Feng smacked his lips, although his teeth were sore, it was also good for him. Because after eating that grape, he felt refreshed, and it seemed to have a certain benefit to the spiritual awareness. It must be known that things that were good for the spiritual awareness were very difficult to find. Those elixirs that could restore or strengthen one's spiritual consciousness were very expensive.
"The guests in the VIP private room can pick a bunch, including mine, you can pick two. You can pick them."
Originally, he thought that the grapes were not ripe, and Du Feng would not like them at all. As a result, after he ate it, his mouth was sour, but he still liked it very much. As long as it was good for the spiritual awareness, Du Feng could eat it no matter how sour it was. He was such a desperate person.
"Then I won't be polite."
It turned out that the guests in the VIP private room had this kind of treatment. Anyway, Niu Er did not lack it, so Du Feng simply picked two bunches and put them in the small world of the necklace.
"Remind you, don't try to plant them. That thing will only rot in the ground, it won't grow."
Well, Niu Er's words poked Du Feng's mind. In fact, he put them in the small world of the necklace and did not take them back to eat. Instead, he thought that having grapes was equivalent to having grape seeds, and with grape seeds, it was possible to grow new grapes. If he could cultivate the grapes well, wouldn't he be able to eat such good grapes often in the future?
But things were not so simple, this kind of grapes could not grow at all. Not to mention the two bunches of Du Feng that were not ripe, even if it was the mature one on the exhibition stage, it could only be eaten and could not be planted. As long as it was buried in the ground, it would rot in a few days and would not germinate at all.
"Okay, then I will eat it slowly."
