Artifact Smuggling Specialist

River City, the most mysterious underground black market auction in the entire Soul Continent.

Zuo Lan felt even more deeply when he was in the venue.

It was broad daylight at this moment, but the entire venue was covered with a special opaque blue cloth, and the entire venue became dark, but people could still be seen. As for the faces of people, they were still hidden in the Behind the cloak.

Zuo Lan sat on the VIP seat, he stretched out his hand, and slowly grabbed the black ring, but his heart was extremely calm.

There were about a hundred people in the entire venue, and the VIP seat where Zuo Lan was located was very prominent, a ring-shaped stepped venue, but their position stood out like a rostrum, obviously different from others, so prominent There is more than one platform coming, and they are located in different places around. Counting carefully, there are eleven in total.

There are four positions near the bottom, and seven positions higher up. Zuo Lan is one of the seven positions above. Because the position is relatively high, the field of view is better. At a glance, the other platforms are also There is a vertical screen like a small box, in case others look over and see something that shouldn't be seen. There are eleven VIP seats, eight of which are closed doors at the moment, and there should be people. One of the three is directly opposite Zuo Lan, one is on the left, and the other is in the lower position. The doors are all open, and there are green cloaks standing there, as if waiting for someone to come.

Zuo Qiu actually didn't expect that this young patriarch, who doesn't look very powerful, would have the means to get the VIP seat. He just saw Zuo Lan stretching out his palm. Maybe there is some secret about the ring?

In fact, when the headquarters of Ninetowns’ responsible office received the news, the other two persons in charge were very disdainful of Zuo Lan. Zuo Qiu didn’t express any opinions at that time, but when he saw Zuo Lan now, he Suddenly felt that Zuo Yi and Zuo Wen were going to be killed this time.

While thinking about these questions, Zuo Lan suddenly lowered his voice and asked casually, "Has Mr. Qiu been managing accounts for a long time?"

Zuo Qiu felt terrified when he heard the word "account". Today Zuo Yi and Zuo Wen heard that the fake account was almost discovered. If Zuo Lan hadn't said that he wanted to come to the auction, the account would be taken away immediately. It will be reported that there is a problem, Zuo Yi Zuo Wen, although Zuo Qiu is helping to make false accounts, but Zuo Qiu is not doing his best, and the reason is only clear to him.Now Zuo Lan asked about the time when he managed the accounts, it seems...

He replied: "I have been out of my family for three years, and I have been responsible for the accounts here. The time is not short."

Xue Zhongshi's eyelashes were long, hanging on his lower eyelids, and he closed his eyes quietly. Zuo Lan looked down at him, and continued to ask: "Then Mr. Qiu must be very clear about the accounts of our Zuo family's business, right? Presumably, you can tell a thing or two by asking casually."

"Ms. Lan was just joking. Compared to Boss Yi and Boss Wen, I'm just a newcomer, and I still have a lot to learn." Zuo Qiu replied modestly.

But Zuo Lan felt that this person was very witty, and he immediately knew where the point of his words was.Zuo Qiu clearly felt that Zuo Lan wanted to investigate the accounts, implying that he was just a handyman, and many things had nothing to do with him.

Although Zuo Lan is younger than Zuo Qiu, because of the difference in status and cultivation level, Zuo Qiu should respect him for fear. It was also because he saw Zuo Lan's strength.

It must be not easy for the direct line to send Zuo Lan to pick up this mess, and Zuo Lan just returned a child when he disappeared. Although he didn't know this person, the child's eyes made people feel that he was Like soaking in water, it is not generally cold.This child must not be an ordinary person, he has long been tired of Zuo Yi Zuo Wen's behavior, and it would be a good thing for him to have a new helm.

So in front of Zuo Lan, he had no intention of covering up for Zuo Yi Zuo Wen.

Zuo Lan also discovered this, so he found it very interesting.

"Anyway, he must know more than me. When I look back at the account book, I need Mr. Qiu to help me. I feel dizzy when I see the account book. Speaking of which, Zuo Yi and Zuo Wen are old enough. "

It's time to go back and retire.

After Zuo Lan finished speaking, he didn't say anything. Out of the corner of his eye, Zuo Qiu's face was swept away, and then he slightly bent his lips. When he looked back at the venue, the three special VIP seats were already occupied. On the seat opposite to Zuo Lan, a person wearing a black cloak entered, and Zuo Lan suddenly felt that the figure was faintly familiar. Although he was wearing a cloak, he could still vaguely see his figure.

He grabbed the sleeve of his robe, lowered his head unexpectedly, and saw Xue Chongshi looking at him with open eyes.

He asked, "Aren't you sleepy?"

"It's too noisy here, I can't sleep." Xue Chongshi sat up again.

Zuo Lan sweated a little, "Did you bother me just now?"

Xue Chongshi shook his head, he turned to look at Zuo Lan, "Can't you hear?"

Zuo Lan felt strange, "What did you hear?"

So Xue Chongshi smiled, stretched out his hand to signal him to bow his head, Zuo Lan followed his words, then Xue Chongshi stretched out his hand, a soul crystal shone in his palm, and then his finger made a mark and landed on the On Zuo Lan's ear.

At that moment, Zuo Lan froze for a moment, the originally quiet venue was suddenly filled with various voices.

But it was very complicated, some seemed like the wind was blowing, and some seemed like electric waves scurrying in the air. After listening for a while, he felt his whole head swell up. Seeing that he felt uncomfortable, Xue Chongshi pressed another finger , explained: "People here are using communication beads to communicate, some are talking to people in the field, and some are communicating with places far away."

When he said this, he didn't avoid Zuo Qiu who was on the side. He probably knew Zuo Lan's thoughts. Zuo Qiu could be brought here by Zuo Lan to participate in the auction. I'm afraid Zuo Lan had different thoughts about this person. Well, he doesn't need to avoid these things, not to mention that it's not a taboo topic at all. Although this kind of secret technique of listening to other people's communications is rare, it's not shocking.He can only know who is using the communication beads, and he can't detect anything else.

Zuo Lan didn't expect that Xue Zhongshi's cultivation base had fallen to the level of a soul disciple, but he had such an ability. After being surprised, he smiled: "It would be great if I knew what they were talking about."

"When you become a soul sage, maybe it will be fine. I heard that the soul emperor can hear the content of some low-level communication beads." Xue Zhongshi said lightly.

Soul Emperor, Soul Sage, these two realms, Zuo Lan smiled, "So, those communication beads that Chongyu took out last time may also be eavesdropped?"

"If what he brought out is really high-end, no one will be able to eavesdrop." However...Xue Chongshi seemed to have thought of something interesting, his eyes flashed, and he said, "The whole continent More than half of the communication beads are made by Emperor Takaichi, if you want to do something in the communication beads, most people probably won't be able to find it."

His words stunned Zuo Lan and even Zuo Qiu who was beside him. No one had thought about this before, but what he said made people feel creepy.

Things like communication beads are used for communication between soul cultivators and soul cultivators. If they are tampered with, the effect will be...

Just imagine that every message I convey through the communication beads may be known by others, that is really not ordinary scary.

After dropping this blockbuster, Xue Zhongshi seemed to be afraid that they would be shocked, so he added kindly: "So families with a little strength, such as other throne families, use the communication beads made by themselves. It’s not as good as the Emperor Takaichi, but he doesn’t know how to use it either.”

Zuo Lan was silent, then laughed, and then looked at the auction.

A huge light curtain descended from mid-air, and a flowing river virtualized by the soul power device fell from the void, and then the light spots converged, like a swimming dragon, passing through the many seats, Even walking away from the front of the VIP seat where Zuo Lan was, it was amazing.

Zuo Lan immediately judged the difference between the Ninth Soul Academy's auction and this auction.

Zuo Lan finally knows what high-end atmosphere is.

In the dragon-like river that passed by just now, the spots of light in it are the surging soul power, which can be called vast, and the method used in this appearance directly shocked the audience.Zuo Lan knows that there are few accidents in auctions in history, but it is difficult to guarantee that when a poor ghost with superior strength is insane, among the three black markets in Soul Continent, both the "first market" and the "dark market" have been attacked. Only "River City" has not been looted by mysterious figures, and it probably has something to do with the strength of this appearance.

Zuo Lan began to wonder, who would be behind this Heshi, and what kind of person could become the boss of Heshi?

He touched his chin and continued to look at the field.

The galaxy-like swimming dragon returned to the light curtain in the middle below, coiled into beautiful patterns, adorning the light curtain, just like adorning a mirror.

The light curtain gradually fell down and spread flat on the ground so that everyone could see the content on the light curtain.

A big seal character "He" shone with a dark golden light, appeared on the light curtain for three breaths, and then went dark.

Zuo Lan hadn't seen the person in charge of the auction so far, and outside of the green cloak, he felt that there wasn't even a host.

In fact, there is indeed no host here, and everything seems to be a set procedure.

The light curtain flashed again, and the outline of an object appeared. It was a three-dimensional pattern of a jade bottle, suspended on the light curtain, which looked extremely realistic, but everyone knew that this was a projected three-dimensional image, and the real object might have to wait until After the auction is over, you have to pay to see Ying'er.

Zuo Lan looked at the written introductions suspended in the air, and was speechless for a while, before saying, "This virtual bottle has long been famous, but isn't it said that it is the five irreversible Horcruxes among the seven spirits in the Soul Continent? How could it appear here? Could it be a fake?"

Xue Chongshi could always hear the indistinct sound of the communication beads in the field. As soon as the first lot appeared, the sound of the whole field suddenly became chaotic. They must be discussing the authenticity of this Horcrux. Or ask on and off the field.

Because the river market is too mysterious, every auction will not have a list of items, sometimes there will be nothing too brilliant, and sometimes there will be some special items that are against the sky, next time No one can say for sure what will happen, so the major powers have actually sent people to watch the auction closely, so every auction in Heshi City is always very lively at the beginning.

However, Xuping is a legendary earth-grade high-level Horcrux, and there is only one level difference between it and Tian-rank. Although others say that this level difference is an insurmountable natural barrier, high-level earth-grade Horcruxes are already extremely rare. Going to the mainland would be another terrible bloodbath, but now, this thing stands quietly in the phantom in the field.

Is this thing true or false?

Zuo Lan was struggling, and suddenly heard Xue Chong explain: "The things on the river market are real and some are fake. I don't care, anyway, if you buy a fake one, you are unlucky, but if you really make money, what are your plans now?"

It has to be said that Zuo Lan's heart was really moved when he looked at the virtual bottle, but this feeling - just looking at the phantom, who knows if it is true or not?

This river market is really—it’s as noisy as a casino, and people’s eyesight and courage are even tested before starting to bid. Just go bankrupt.

But the allure of gambling is location, and the same seems to be true of auctions.

Zuo Lan looked at the sign with the word "river" engraved on his palm, but finally did nothing: "Let's take another look, I can't tell whether the fake bottle is true or not, but someone will know."

Those who have been using communication beads to communicate are definitely not simple. If the virtual bottle is real, the subsequent auctions will definitely be heated to the extreme. Zuo Lan estimated the fullness of his wallet, but still felt that he could not afford to participate in such an auction. If it is fake, what is the use of buying it?

In fact, the situation on the field at this moment is similar to what Zuo Lan expected. The agents of various forces were confused by the sudden appearance of high-level earth-grade Horcruxes, and hurriedly sent messages to people on and off the field. Contact person, hurry up to check the relevant information, so no one bids at this time.

Then a countdown appeared on the light curtain in the arena, with a total of [-] breaths of time, which was constantly decreasing.

Zuo Lan raised the corners of his lips and smiled: "If no one bids after the countdown expires, this item will not be sold."

Xue Chongshi shook his head: "This thing won't fail to sell, no matter it's true or not."

Is it fake or someone will buy it?

Zuo Lan looked back at him: "How to say?"

"If it's true, how could the fifth Mo Ni's natal Horcrux appear here? Unless Mo Ni himself was deprived of his soul map or died, his Horcrux should always be with him. Of course, there is another possibility. It’s just that he is so poor that he can only sell horcruxes—this possibility is almost impossible; if it is fake, who dares to forge Mo Ni’s horcruxes and send them to Heshi for auction? How dare you auction this thing at the risk of offending a famous soul master?" Xue Zhongshi analyzed both situations, and then yawned again, "So no matter how you think about it, both questions are very important. Valuable, this thing will not be photographed."

Sure enough, what Xue Chongshi said was correct. As soon as he finished speaking, the countdown on the light curtain disappeared immediately, and a price popped out—70.

The corner of Zuo Lan's mouth twitched, Nima's high-grade horcrux should be so expensive?

Xue Chong explained: "The Horcruxes of the Human Grade are not very valuable, and generally count over ten thousand; once they reach the level of the Earth Grade, the price will directly increase by dozens or even hundreds of times; as for the Heaven Grade Horcruxes - there is a price but no market."

So, is the Artifact Refiner Guild under the Soul Art Guild the richest?

So, it's normal for the School of Instruments to always be the home of the rich soul schools, right?

So... if you really want to trade across regions, you have to sell Horcruxes!

Zuo Lan secretly made a decision, how lonely it would be like snow without his own involvement in this kind of profiteering industry!

With the first person bidding, the pace of the following will be much faster. No matter whether it is true or not, this thing has already appeared, and those who are interested will naturally continue to buy it.

The quotations on the light curtain soared at a speed that Zuo Lan couldn't understand at all and was infinitely jealous!

70, 100 million, 180 million, 200 million, 250 million, 370 million!

It soared to 370 million in one breath!

Zuo Lan took a deep breath, even Zuo Qiu beside him was stunned.

The person who raised the price at the end was too terrifying. He added 120 million in one go, and Zuo Lan couldn't help but swear: "Which local tycoon has no place to put his money?"

In fact, he was just complaining like this, and he didn't think about who to answer, but what he didn't expect was that someone answered him: "It's the VIP seat opposite us."

Zuo Lan was taken aback for a moment, he looked at Zuo Qiu, just now...he said that?

Zuo Qiu was a little embarrassed by him, so he just answered out of habit. At this time, he had to explain: "I don't know who I heard it from before. The lot will definitely fall into the VIP seat. That VIP seat has always been reserved for a special person, and there have been several auctions before. I heard that the person in that position directly raised the price a lot. Take it straight away."

Unexpectedly, Zuo Qiu knew this, Zuo Lan immediately found it interesting.

He nodded, then touched his chin, and looked at the VIP seat opposite him. There were screens on three sides, but the front was open, so he could vaguely see a person sitting on the opposite side, but it was still because of the cloak. , I don't know who it is, Zuo Lan recalled his guess just now, pinched the sign in his hand, and smiled, "I'm a local tyrant too."

Under the eyes of Xue Zhongshi and Zuo Qiu, Zuo Lan injected soul power into the signboard of Heshi, and then entered a number. His VIP seat is a blue number, and the shocking 370 million on the light screen It disappeared in a flash, and was replaced by an even more terrifying golden 500 million!

At that moment, the sounds of all the communication beads heard by Xue Chongshi's ears seemed to be silent, and it took a while for them to become dense immediately.

500 million!

Although the virtual bottle is a high-level earth-grade Horcrux, it is definitely not worth the price!

On the ranking list of top-quality horcruxes in the Soul Continent, the virtual bottle is only after the top 300, so it cannot be ranked. The real value is about 370 million. The previous 500 million is already very high, and now it is still popping up. Come to a [-] million!

That No. 33 bid must have been crazy - that's what all the buyers who were watching were thinking.

Even the real virtual bottle is not worth the price, let alone the virtual bottle may be fake.

Zuo Lan was a little nervous at this moment. His palms were sweaty while holding the bidding card, and he bit his lip. There seemed to be no one bidding in the entire arena, and he was waiting for the reaction of the VIP seat opposite him.

It can be seen that the other party is bound to win the virtual bottle, probably not the auctioneer's child or the seller's child. After all, the price increase is too steep, instead of raising it little by little, which does not conform to the general law. This person should be He wanted to frighten everyone with a high price at first, so that he could directly take the empty bottle, but Zuo Lan was curious about his identity and didn't want him to be happy, so he played like this.But Zuo Lan is guessing after all, if the other party is really Tuoer, then Zuo Lan will be at a big loss.This was originally a part of gambling, so Zuo Lan was very excited and nervous.

How will the other party react?

At this time, no one bid any more, and the golden 500 million number on the light curtain automatically entered a countdown of ten breaths after staying for fifteen breaths.

Ten, no one raised the price;

Nine, no one increases the price;

Eight, the audience is silent;

seven……

Three, there is still no price increase.

Zuo Lan only felt that he was about to crush that brand, maybe he was really wrong?He raised the price too sharply, maybe he really scared the other party.

Second, no one raises the price.

Xue Chongshi's eyes flashed, and he suddenly said: "There is a play."

He knows Zuo Lan's thoughts very well. Although he hasn't had much contact with Zuo Lan, he has a deep understanding of the virtue of this rich man. He even thought about whether Zuo Lan caught the soul crystal or not. Returning it to himself may be because he was greedy for the middle-level soul crystal of the heavenly rank, and even this idea still lingers in his mind until now, and has never left.

Zuo Lan was taken aback for a moment, the time was up to the last breath, and when the entire first lot was about to be sold, a line of gold characters popped up on the light curtain again - No. 34, with a bid of 550 million.

Suddenly his whole body relaxed, Zuo Lan pulled the brim of his cloak, parted his lips inside and laughed, he still won.

This is a contest of heart and intellect.

It seemed that the other party was determined to win this virtual bottle.

His originally stiff back bent down a little, he nestled into the chair, and said leisurely: "If you want to buy the number 34 opposite, let him buy it. We'll look at it later and take pictures if we like it later."

The bid over there was at the last moment, and everyone was frightened by such a turning point, and they spread the information here through the communication beads.

Each force has its own means, and for a while, Xue Chongshi's ears became confused again.

"There is someone from Xue Liu, the throne here." Xue Chongshi suddenly frowned and said.

Zuo Lan was stunned: "How do you know?"

Xue Chongshi pointed to his ears, then sat upright, flipped his hands over, and took out an ordinary earth-grade soul crystal, and immediately closed his eyes and began to practice, which made people dumbfounded.

"In a while, you will go out with me to kill people."

Zuo Lan: "..."

Big local tyrant Xue, can you not be so scary when you speak?

Zuo Qiu on the side was terrified. In fact, when Zuo Lan started bidding, his mind was in a state of difficulty. Now he heard that the little doll brought by Lan Shao directly said that he was murdering or something, and suddenly became seriously suspicious. , Did I go to the wrong dimension?Is his world really the same as Lan Shao's world?

Zuo Lan over there suddenly knew how Xue Chongshi knew.

Xue Zhongshi seems to have the secret technique to detect the fluctuation of the communication beads. He said that almost every family of the Ten Thrones can have their own communication beads. Communication beads, so once someone with the throne Xue Liu uses the communication beads, Xue Zhongshi will recognize it immediately.

The person who uses the special communication beads made by Xueliu of the throne must also belong to Xueliu of the throne.

Zuo Lan touched the corners of his eyes, and the corners of his lips curled up: "I don't know how to kill people. I, Zuo Lan, am a good citizen."

However, if the people of Xueliu, the throne, brought money or auction items, it would be a different matter if they were good people or bad people.
