Wangjiang Road was still some distance away from Jincheng University of Technology. Lan Xiaobu came early to check out the location. If it was not right, he would have time to go back.
This was an old street that was neither bustling nor desolate. There were many old shops and old buildings on both sides of the old street. Lan Xiaobu walked all the way and found that no matter how he looked, the last door on Wangjiang Road was number 290. Where did number 291 come from?
The unwilling Lan Xiaobu searched around number 290 many times, but still did not see the shadow of number 291. When he was about to ask the owner of number 290, he saw a man in a black trench coat walk to the door of number 290 and light a cigarette.
Lan Xiaobu subconsciously stopped. Number 291 was obviously a bit special. If he asked, wouldn't he be telling others that he was a newcomer who just got the Thousand Sounds Auction Card?
Lan Xiaobu left as if nothing had happened and went to a snack bar further away to order a few dishes and a bottle of beer.
He judged that if the Thousand Sounds Card in his hand was not fake, then the Thousand Sounds Auction Card must be in this place. Since it was in this place, he did not need to go back and wait for Shang Wei, because Shang Wei would definitely come here.
An hour later, Lan Xiaobu found 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 the man in the black trench coat. Otherwise, why would he need more than an hour to smoke?
At this moment, Lan Xiaobu was determined to wait here for Shang Wei to come. When Shang Wei came, he would follow behind Shang Wei. No matter where number 291 was hiding, if he wanted to get to number 291, he would have to pass by him.
Another hour passed, and the man in the black trench coat did not leave. This allowed Lan Xiaobu to see some clues. More than ten people entered a private underground parking lot. What made Lan Xiaobu puzzled was that these people did not enter the parking lot by car. They walked in. What made Lan Xiaobu most suspicious was that most of these people who went in were wearing masks or big sunglasses and hats.
Lan Xiaobu had seen that parking lot before. It was a private parking lot, and there was a note next to it that said it was not in use. The parking lot was open from the outside. There was no gate. After entering the parking lot, there seemed to be a door.
He had been drinking a bottle of beer for more than two hours, so it wasn't appropriate for him to stay any longer. Lan Xiaobu paid the bill, put on a mask and sunglasses, and walked to the private parking lot.
When Lan Xiaobu passed by Room 290, he clearly felt the gaze of the man in the black windbreaker fall on him. Although he didn't turn around to look, his warrior's intuition told him that he wasn't mistaken.
The man in the black windbreaker didn't stop Lan Xiaobu until he turned into the private car park.
After entering the open parking lot, Lan Xiaobu let out a sigh of relief. The entrance to the car park was not guarded, but the door was closed. Moreover, this door wasn't the kind of brake lever found in ordinary garages. It was an iron door, and the iron door was a little rusty. Just as Lan Xiaobu was puzzled, he saw a place to swipe a card. Lan Xiaobu didn't hesitate at all. He directly took out the Thousand Resonance Auction card and swiped it.
With a "di" sound, the iron door opened. Lan Xiaobu let out a sigh of relief. His judgment 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 was the brain of this person to hide the number plate behind the iron door?
In front of him was a two to three meter wide cement road. The cement road sloped downwards and continued to extend. When Lan Xiaobu walked about ten meters, a side door appeared on the side. Although the cement road continued to extend, Lan Xiaobu didn't hesitate to turn to the side door. This was completely a kind of intuition. Lan Xiaobu felt that if he continued forward, it should be the real garage. This side door should be where he went.
Sure enough, after entering the side door, there was another door to swipe a card. Lan Xiaobu once again used the Thousand Resonance Auction card to swipe open the door.
As soon as the door opened, the scene in front of him suddenly changed. A red carpet extended directly into a huge hall. Even if Lan Xiaobu had never participated in an auction before, he only needed to take 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 forward to ask Lan Xiaobu or stop Lan Xiaobu.
There were many seats in the hall. They were all in the form of booths. It looked like they could sit casually. Some of the people who came in before didn't sit down. There were a few familiar people who were chatting on the side. Lan Xiaobu also didn't enter the booths. He also stood in a corner. He was waiting for Shang Wei to come over.
Although there were many hidden guards, Lan Xiaobu stood there. No one came to disturb him.
People came in one after another. Some people began to sit down. Soon, the auction hall was half filled. Lan Xiaobu stared at each person who came in. He believed that even if Shang Wei changed his appearance, he would still be able to recognize him.
After more than half an hour, Lan Xiaobu saw Shang Wei. Shang Wei also wore sunglasses and a mask. He also changed his clothes into a set of coffee colored casual clothes. Even if his face didn't reveal anything, Lan Xiaobu was still able to recognize him at first glance.
Walking in front of Shang Wei was a very robust middle aged man. This man's face was not covered, and his face was covered with a beard.
Lan Xiaobu waited for Shang Wei to walk past him. Only then did he follow behind Shang Wei.
Coming to this auction was an impromptu decision. If not for Shang Wei coming, Lan Xiaobu might not even have come here. He didn't have any money on him. He just came to the auction to watch. He came with Shang Wei because he wanted to wait for the auction to end, and then follow him to his house.
Why was Shang Wei able to cultivate to the Xiantian Realm in just two years? Lan Xiaobu didn't have much of an idea about this before. But now that he started cultivating, he was 100% sure that there was a secret in his heart.
It seems that the guy with the beard should be Shang Wei's Uncle Xiong. Lan Xiaobu waited for Shang Wei and Uncle Xiong to take their seats. Only then did he sit down in the back booth.
The auction had not yet started. Lan Xiaobu sat behind the two of them. He listened to the bearded man talking to Shang Wei about the Thousand Resonance Auction. He also heard about the famous big shots that had come. At the same time, he also began to have some understanding of the Thousand Resonance Auction.
The Thousand Resonance Auction was the world's top auction. Every time, there would be treasures that would attract the attention of the whole world. The Thousand Resonance Auction was also divided into different grades. The S Ranked Thousand Resonance Auction was already considered very high. So tonight, there would definitely be good things that would appear. Those who could come to the Thousand Resonance Auction were all famous people from all over the world. It was not something that could be entered just because of money.
Things like the Night Pearl, South Africa's Rainbow Diamond, Longevity Medicine, and other treasures had all appeared at the Thousand Resonance Auction.
While Lan Xiaobu was still listening with great interest, the lights in the hall suddenly dimmed. Only a soft light shone on the auction stage. On the auction stage, a tall woman wearing a cheongsam appeared. At this moment, Lan Xiaobu discovered that the auction hall was unknowingly 70% full. This made Lan Xiaobu guess that his previous judgment was wrong. There should be more than one entrance to the auction.
The cheongsam woman smiled. "Welcome to the Thousand Resonance Auction's old friends. Actually, the Thousand Resonance S Ranked Auction rarely has a Thousand Resonance Auction like today. It has only been a day since the announcement, and the auction has already begun. Many of my old friends are somewhat puzzled. I will also represent the auction to explain. After this auction, the Thousand Resonance Auction will not hold any auction activities for a year … … "
After this sentence was said, the whispers below increased. Lan Xiaobu heard someone say that the Thousand Resonance Auction would be held at least 6 times a year. Sometimes, it would even be 12 times. After this auction, there would not be any auction activities for a year. This seemed to be somewhat unusual.
The cheongsam woman did not continue to explain. Instead, she said, "In order to save everyone's time, the auction will now begin. The first auction item is a painting of Zhang Hong. Perhaps some of you do not know Zhang Hong. Let me briefly introduce him. Zhang Hong was a famous painter of the Ming Dynasty. The starting price of this painting is 500,000 yuan. Each bid must not be less than 10,000 yuan. The auction will now begin … … "
Lan Xiaobu had not participated in an auction before. However, he still knew some general knowledge about auctions. Under normal circumstances, the auction house would work hard to publicize the value of the auction items. But this cheongsam woman only introduced the era and expertise of the author, and then ended the auction.
What Lan Xiaobu did not expect was that this painting was actually snatched up by many people. In the end, it was taken away by someone for a price of 1.76 million yuan.
After the auction items appeared, the woman presiding over the auction gave a simple introduction. Each item would cause a scramble. One of the Buddhist relics was sold for a price of nearly 200 million yuan.
It seemed that there were no fakes in this auction. All of the items must be genuine. Otherwise, there would not be such a crazy scramble.
Lan Xiaobu did not have any money. He just wanted to watch the fun. His main purpose was to keep an eye on Shang Wei. However, Shang Wei's Uncle Xiong also did not make a move. He did not even bid.
"The next item is a set of prescriptions. This set of prescriptions is rumored to have been passed down from ancient times. It can allow internal strength cultivators to temper their bones … …"
The cheongsam woman presiding over the auction did not finish her words. Lan Xiaobu was shocked. He suddenly regretted that he did not sell the sheep-fat white jade first. This was exactly what he wanted, a formula for Internal Strength Cultivators to temper their muscles and bones. His progress in the Quenching Stage was very fast. Ever since he stepped into the Bone Forging Stage, his realm had almost stagnated. He guessed that there was no prescription for Bone Forging. He came here to find Shang Wei. Wasn't it to find the secret of how Shang Wei could step into the Xiantian Realm in two years?
Now, he had not found the reason why Shang Wei stepped into the Xiantian Realm. Unexpectedly, he came across a prescription for Bone Forging. This simply drove Lan Xiaobu crazy. The key point was that he did not have any money.
No, he saw the prescription. Shang Wei was also here. Could it be that Shang Wei bought the prescription, so he could step into the Xiantian Realm so quickly?
Lan Xiaobu immediately collected his thoughts. He set his eyes on Shang Wei and the bearded Uncle Xiong next to him.
