Traveling through the apocalypse to raise a beauty

The auction format remains unified.

After confirming that Zhenqing and the others were going to the black market auction, Mo Qi rushed over. He took the space teleportation array in the palace, which led directly to the interior of the auction hall. After the young man arranged the private room and went to the back door to pick up Zhenqing and the others, they had just arrived at the agreed location.

"Your Majesty." Mo Qi saluted and turned sideways, "Follow me."

Zhenqing nodded, "Thank you for your help."

Mo Qi walked in front of Zhen Qing and took them directly to the prepared private room.

Just like the previous auction in the Empire, Mo Qi went to the assistant seat at the bottom, and Zhenqing and the others just had to press the bell in the private room above.

'Xihe' is the finale, which means they will have to stay in the private room for nearly three hours.

Mu Yao went straight to the largest lazy sofa and laid down on it. Lan Yun turned into a little fox and nestled in her arms. "Why are there still three hours? If I had known, I would have come later."

Gu Yuan stood in front of the glass window, flipping through the list of items projected on the glass. "It's not just one item that's being auctioned. Ten kilograms of 'Black Gold' is also among the items being auctioned. Ah Yun, do you want some?"

"How much?" The little fox sat up suddenly, his eyes shining. "Ahhhhhhhhhhh! Oh my God! Ten kilograms! What's the starting price?"

"One hundred million." Wen Sheng put his arm around Gu Yuan's waist and said with a smile, "It's not expensive."

“Yes, yes, yes!” Lan Yun ran straight into Qiu Bieyi’s arms. The little fox’s whimpering voice made everyone’s heart soften, “Ayi, Ayi.”

Qiu Bieyi caught the little fox, stretched out his hand to scratch Lan Yun's chin, and smiled, "Buy it."

Wei Yang glanced at Mu Yao, who was sitting awkwardly, with her legs crossed, her loose bell-bottom pants reaching all the way to her thighs, her long white legs resting on the burgundy carpet.

The boy grabbed the blanket and covered her with it, then looked at Zhenqing, "Ah Qing, is there anything you want?"

Zhenqing was making tea. "I don't lack anything. But I can take a picture of the 100-year-old 'Golden Autumn Grass'. It will be good for Lingjie and Wensheng. I'll make it into a sachet and put it by your bed. It will be good for your health."

Ling Jie lowered his eyes to look at the chess, and when he heard the words, he looked up to complain, "Ah Qing, if you hadn't mentioned it, I would have forgotten that my brother snatched the sachet you made for me last time. He is willing to give it back to me no matter what."

The sachets Zhenqing made for them were hollow gold and silver sachets, round sachets welded with gold threads, decorated with tassels and jade, and looked particularly beautiful when hung on the head of the bed.

Zhenqing handed Gu Yuan a cup of tea, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, "Then I'll give you one this time?"

Lingjie curled her lips, "But the scent of that sachet smells good, I like it very much."

Zhenqing remembered that the sachet contained some sleeping spices, "........Brother Lingyan, is it that you have trouble sleeping? I'll make two more sleeping spices for you to exchange with him?"

Ling Jie pursed her lips and whispered, "Then this time..."

Zhenqing smiled helplessly, "What kind do you want?"

Lingjie's eyes lit up. "Can I have a little jade lion as decoration?"

"Sure." This was very easy for Zhenqing, as he happened to know how to carve jade.

Wen Sheng, who was kissing Gu Yuan, immediately said, "Ah Qing, I want Peacock's."

Zhenqing: “……..Okay.”

-

The items at the beginning were basically jewellery with ornamental value, and only later on were they gradually replaced with precious weapons, medicinal materials, military materials and 'Xihe' which were basically the finale.

The first 30 lots were being bid on by guests in ordinary seats downstairs, and most of them were priced around one million. After the 30th, the prices started to go up to tens of millions.

Numbers 30 to 40 are all rare medicinal materials, and numbers 41 to 50 are rare weapons and military metals.

Number 37 is the 'Golden Autumn Grass' that Zhenqing and his friends want. There are not many bidders for herbs because these things can basically be obtained through the Mercenary Association. What is usually sold on the black market are rare herbs with poisonous properties.

For example, 'Bad Cotton Flower' and 'Hibiscus' are the most common items auctioned in the black market.

Of course, herbs like 'Golden Autumn Grass', which are only suitable for psychics, are also rare.

However, what surprised them was that this herb was sold for 50 million.

"This is the first time I've seen such a high auction price for 'Golden Autumn Grass'." Lan Yun blinked, "Do we still want it?"

Zhenqing propped up his face and said, "Let's take another look."

Gu Yuan pointed to the room across from them and asked, "Is the badge hanging on that room the same as the pattern on the jade pendant given by the young man we met this morning?"

"Huh?" Everyone looked over immediately. Zhenqing took out the jade pendant and compared it carefully. It was indeed the case.

Zhenqing thought of the young boy at the party and laughed, "Is their family also filming 'Golden Autumn Grass'?"

Gu Yuan had a good impression of the little guy, "Do you want to give it to them?"

Before the age of fifteen, Wen Sheng and Ling Jie had impressive physical fitness, so when they saw the herb Golden Autumn Grass that was helpful to psychics, they would subconsciously stockpile it. Now their bodies have improved a lot and they don't need to take such large doses. They still have a lot at home, so it doesn't matter whether they buy it or not, they just buy it out of habit.

"Let them have it." Qiu Bieyi dropped a piece. "Our main goal this time is still to get 'Xihe'. The price of Golden Autumn Grass has exceeded our budget and it's not worth that much."

"Okay." Gu Yuan rang the bell to signal Mo Qi that he didn't need to raise the sign anymore.

Finally, Yuanjia bought the 'Golden Autumn Grass' at a price of 53 million, and the next step is to wait for the 42nd lot 'Black Gold'.

'Black Gold' is also a rare metal, but it is a kind of active metal. This metal is loved by people who refine equipment, but it is also a metal that many researchers like. This thing can be melted as an experimental potion, it can help many potions to fuse, genetically fuse, and it can also become the best antiseptic vessel.

(Edited by Qingmei.)

The reason why 'Black Gold' is a rare metal is mainly because of their formation.

They are formed by the liquid that drips from the pistil of the 'Black Jade Flower' every day and slowly condenses. It takes five years for a 'Black Jade Flower' to drip out one kilogram of 'Black Gold'.

'Black Jade Flower' only grows in clean rivers and lakes. The most suitable water environment is slightly acidic with a pH value of 6.4. They have extremely high requirements for the water environment, and the waters suitable for their survival must be non-toxic, harmless and clean.

When this metal condenses to a certain degree, it will form a crystal, which can be used as medicine to cure all kinds of diseases.

(Borrowed from the growth environment of 'Peach Blossom Jellyfish'.)

In the end times, the only way to find such an environment is in space, but space does not necessarily satisfy these growth environments. This kind of metal has always belonged to the highest level category of auction items.

The starting prices are between 50 million and 100 million.

When the 'Black Gold' was brought up by the auctioneer, the entire first floor of the auction hall was in an uproar. People at the ordinary auction seats could only get the list of lots one to forty. Although there were channels to obtain the list of the last ten lots, it was only vague and no one would know more specific information.

Ten kilograms of 'Black Gold' is really rare and not many people can afford it.

Lan Yun's eyes were shining, and she lowered her voice, "Wow! This is the first time I've seen a 10-kilogram 'Black Gold'. The diamond-shaped crystal in the middle is the legendary white body. If used as medicine, it has the same effect as the 'Nine Traveling Phoenix Blood Flower'. Xiaoman should like it."

Ten kilograms of "black gold" has taken the shape of a 'black obsidian flower', a lotus shape with a golden diamond crystal floating in the middle. It radiates a light grey light all over, and the overall color is as charming as obsidian, mixed with gold-plated stripes.

Mu Yao had already jumped up, almost screaming with excitement, but she glanced at Ling Jie who was sleeping next to Wei Yang and lowered her voice, "Oh my god, ten kilograms of 'Black Gold' can actually automatically condense into the shape of a 'Black Yao Flower'. But I think it would look great if I made it into a jewelry for A Yi to wear."

Zhenqing's eyes suddenly lit up. Everyone looked at Qiu Bieyi's face, then looked at the 'Black Gold' on the tray, and nodded in unison.

Qiu Bieyi: “.........”

Zhenqing even thought about what style it would be made into. He waved his hand and said, "Buy it. I'll pay for it this time. Ah Yun, just remember to give me a small piece. Just a little bit will do."

Lan Yun nodded vigorously, "Okay, okay, I think the obsidian flower is very beautiful. Aqing can make it in this style."

Everyone: "Yes."
