Chapter 557: Encountering an Auction Again

Lin Zhangqing took out a little bit of Hundred Flowers Drunken Soul Wine from the Xuan Yuan Heavy Water Bottle. This time, the amount was specially controlled by him.

It was only about one-third of the normal amount, which should be enough for Liu Jiangyan to treat his divine soul injury! But don't even think about advancing; it was definitely not enough, at most it would make his cultivation improve a little bit.

The three members of the Liu family hadn't been here long and hadn't made any contributions, so he wouldn't reward them casually, let alone provide spirit objects for them to advance.

Here, if they wanted to get spirit objects, they had to make enough contributions to him, otherwise, they would only be like this forever! After handing the things to Liu Jiangyan, the three members of the Liu family were dismissed by Lin Zhangqing! Seeing that there was nothing else to do, he prepared to exit the inner space, but suddenly thought of the first-grade puppet he had bought.

So he took it out directly, and together with the jade slip recording the puppet control method, handed it to Xu Meiniang.

Then he introduced: "This is a late-stage first-grade puppet and its control method."

"This thing can not only be used for fighting, but also for helping with work. Basically, plowing, planting, picking, and harvesting are all no problem."

"You and Zhao Liyu can both try it when you have time to see if it will be more convenient and save trouble to use puppets in the future."

"If so, I will get a batch into the inner space!"

After giving instructions, Lin Zhangqing left the inner space.

Returning to his room, he went out of the courtyard and headed straight for the Myriad Treasures Pavilion.

Lin Zhangqing wanted to go to the Myriad Treasures Pavilion to inquire about the market conditions and take the opportunity to ask when the auction would start.

The building of the Myriad Treasures Pavilion was really too easy to recognize, so he didn't need to ask for directions and found it easily! However, at this time, there were quite a few cultivators entering and leaving the Myriad Treasures Pavilion, so when he went in, no one came to receive him.

Fortunately, just as Lin Zhangqing was thinking about whether he should go directly to the third floor, a young shop clerk finally came to receive him.

"Senior, welcome to the Myriad Treasures Pavilion. I am a second-class clerk of the Myriad Treasures Pavilion. You can just call me Xiao Wu! I am really sorry, there are really too many distinguished guests coming these two days, and the pavilion is a bit short-handed! So there has been some neglect, please forgive me, Senior!"

Lin Zhangqing was a little unhappy at first, but after hearing the explanation from the shop clerk Xiao Wu, he felt much better! And he could also understand them, so he said: "It's nothing! When is your auction scheduled to start?"

When Xiao Wu heard this, he understood that Lin Zhangqing wanted to participate in the auction, so he hurriedly said: "Returning to Senior, the time for the auction is scheduled for the Si hour the day after tomorrow morning!"

"If Senior has our Myriad Treasures Pavilion's level three VIP card, you can also spend five thousand spirit stones in advance to reserve a private room."

"So that you don't have to squeeze in the lobby when the time comes, and with a private room, it is also more private when bidding for some more precious spirit objects!"

When Lin Zhangqing heard this, he understood his meaning; wasn't it saying that if he bid for more precious spirit objects, having a private room as cover would make it less likely to be targeted!

However, they were still downstairs, and he didn't want to express his position casually, so as not to be targeted by interested people.

So he said: "Let's talk about the private room later. I want to buy some things, take me up first!"

Xiao Wu also reacted instantly and hurriedly said: "Alright! Senior, please follow me to the third floor."

After speaking, he guided Lin Zhangqing to a private room on the third floor.

After the maid served the spirit tea and left.

Xiao Wu smiled and asked: "Senior, what spirit objects do you want to buy? Or, if you have anything you want to consign, you can take it out! I will ask the appraiser in the pavilion to come and take a look!" Lin Zhangqing was a little surprised when he heard this; he had forgotten that he could consign spirit objects for the auction.

However, he was not prepared for a moment, so he would talk about this question after he thought it through clearly.

He asked Xiao Wu: "Do you have any third-grade trapping formations or third-grade defensive formations with a large coverage area?"

Xiao Wu said embarrassedly: "Senior, the pavilion has mobilized three third-grade formations this time, but they are all prepared for auction, so there is no way to sell them to you now!"

Lin Zhangqing was speechless when he heard this; he really came at the wrong time. Usually, he should be able to buy them!

He couldn't help but ask: "Then how many spirit stones do such third-grade formations usually need?"

Xiao Wu hesitated for a moment before answering: "Buying third-grade formations requires a level three or higher VIP card, and the prices of different formations vary greatly!"

"In my impression, the cheapest defensive formation needs about fifty thousand low-grade spirit stones, and a good killing formation even needs eighty to one hundred thousand low-grade spirit stones!"

Lin Zhangqing nodded after listening. With this standard, he had a count in his heart! Now that he couldn't buy them directly, he could only go to the auction to try his luck.

He suddenly thought of the puppet price mentioned by that Puppet Sect disciple that day, and he wanted to verify it.

So he said: "Then do you have any second-grade or third-grade puppets for sale here? Introduce their prices to me!"

When Xiao Wu heard this, he finally nodded and said: "Yes, there are still some ordinary second-grade puppets."

"Early, mid-stage, and late-stage second-grade puppets are all in stock in the warehouse now. Their prices are around fifty thousand to two hundred thousand low-grade spirit stones."

"But for third-grade puppets, there are only a few in the pavilion, and they can't be sold now; they have all been transferred to the auction list."

Before asking this question, Lin Zhangqing had already vaguely guessed that this would be the result.

It seems that the Myriad Treasures Pavilion has placed very high expectations on this auction, and any good things have been transferred to the auction!

Xiao Wu saw that Lin Zhangqing didn't speak, and asked again: "Senior, how many second-grade puppets do you need?"

Lin Zhangqing glanced at Xiao Wu and then spoke: "If they are all ordinary puppets, then forget it."

"The ones that are truly useful to me are at least late-stage second-grade puppets."

"And they must be the well-made, exquisite kind. Forget about these ordinary ones!"

In fact, although these second-grade puppets were of no use to Lin Zhangqing himself, he could destroy them easily.

But they were useful to his family and to the entire Lin family.

Think about it, if the Lin family had a few late-stage second-grade puppets as trump cards, the foundation would instantly become several times thicker.

Just like the family crisis last time, it would be easy to deal with.
