Full level of enlightenment: I achieved Daozu by ascending to the lower realm

Chapter 662 Flame Armor

Ning Qi and Li Qiuwan continued walking forward and soon arrived at the place with the largest crowd.

Here they finally saw what was going on.

Ahead of them was an auction, where a large number of people were gathered outside.

Clearly, an auction is taking place here, or is about to begin.

Should we go in and take a look?

Li Qiuwan peered inside curiously.

"Since we're here, let's go check out the situation."

Ning Qi agreed without hesitation and then walked straight inside.

Seeing this, Li Qiuwan followed.

The two walked one after the other and quickly entered the crowd.

When they arrived at the gate, they saw two or three men standing guard there.

Just as they were about to go inside, one of the men reached out and stopped them.

"Halt! Do you have an invitation?"

The waiter looked down at the two people below the stone steps, his eyes filled with arrogance.

"Can't we go in without an invitation?"

Ning Qi was somewhat puzzled.

This is just a business opening, why do they need invitations?

What kind of airs are they putting on?

"That's right, but if you don't have it, you'll have to pay one million of top-grade spirit marrow liquid."

The waiter nodded, his expression dismissive: "If you don't have any, then whatever."

"Oh, you have to pay an entrance fee to get in."

Ning Qi immediately understood after hearing what he said.

This made him feel that there must be some treasure here that was to be auctioned, otherwise there would be no need to make such a big fuss.

"Good, if you have it, go in; if not, please make yourself at home."

The waiter nodded and pointed to the area outside: "Don't block others from coming in."

"I see."

Ning Qi understood.

No wonder so many people outside are just observing the situation from here, and no one is going in.

Their requirement for tickets turned many people away.

"Young Master Ding, let's go."

Seeing this, Li Qiuwan gently pulled Ning Qi along.

If they need tickets for that, their expenses today could be enormous.

She had originally planned to spend the Spirit Essence Liquid, but seeing how aloof the staff were, she decided against going inside to check on the situation.

"Why leave? If you want to go in and take a look, then let's go and have a look."

Ning Qi didn't care at all, and as he spoke, he took out his spiritual essence and handed it directly to the shopkeeper.

After the shop assistant took his storage bag, he used his spiritual sense to explore it and confirmed that the quantity of goods was correct. He then showed a polite expression.

"Please come in, gentlemen."

He waved to the two of them and then stepped aside, saying, "We have guests."

After he said that, another waiter came out from inside to greet him.

"My lords, I am sorry."

The man was respectful and made way for them to go in.

This attitude is much better than that of the guy at the door.

After all, those who can get in here are either rich or powerful.

Ning Qi and Li Qiuwan may look ordinary, but appearances can be deceiving.

He dared not be negligent.

Ning Qi and Li Qiuwan exchanged a glance before walking inside.

Led by the waiter, they arrived at the front hall of the auction house.

There were already some people in the hall.

"Gentlemen, would you like to wait in the main hall, or would you prefer a private room?"

The waiter suddenly stopped and asked respectfully.

That face was filled with respect.

"Go to a private room."

Ning Qi said without hesitation.

It's too noisy downstairs.

Moreover, if you manage to photograph your favorite treasure, many people will see it, so a private room is obviously safer.

"Then please, you two."

The waiter perked up immediately when he heard they wanted to go to a private room.

He immediately led the two of them upstairs.

Soon they arrived at the door of a private room.

"This is the one."

Ning Qi glanced inside and, without waiting for the waiter to ask, chose this room.

"Okay, please."

The waiter didn't say anything, but politely invited the two of them inside.

Ning Qi and Li Qiuwan looked around again before following them inside.

"By the way, when does the auction start?"

Li Qiuwan suddenly thought of something and quickly asked.

It's still early, so we need to pay attention to the sky.

If it's too late, then it will be troublesome.

This will be another considerable amount of spiritual essence liquid.

"It will begin in half an hour. Please wait a moment."

The waiter responded immediately upon hearing her question.

"it is good!"

Ning Qi didn't mind and followed them inside after agreeing.

Seeing this, Li Qiuwan followed them inside.

After the two entered, the waiter did not leave immediately, but went inside.

"Gentlemen, would you like some dishes?"

The waiter didn't leave, but asked politely.

"unnecessary."

Li Qiuwan said directly.

"Have some, there's still plenty of time."

Ning Qi didn't mind and said directly.

"okay."

The man agreed and then prepared to leave.

"and many more."

Ning Qi suddenly called out to him.

"My lord, what are your orders?"

The waiter stopped and quickly asked.

"Is there some rare treasure in this auction?"

Why are there so many people gathered outside?

Only now did he realize that there were quite a few people outside.

"Yes, there are priceless treasures being auctioned here today!"

The man didn't hide it; after all, there was no need to hide it anymore.

"Okay, go ahead."

Ning Qi nodded, then waved his hand.

"Young Master Ding, this place should be safe. We have a defensive formation here."

"People outside can't see what's going on here."

Li Qiuwan observed the area for a while and discovered that there were defensive formations outside the buildings.

It's simply impossible for outsiders to see inside.

But they could see everything outside clearly.

"Well, that's good, so we won't be targeted later."

Ning Qi nodded.

He had already set his sights on the priceless treasures that were to be auctioned off.

Now that I've just broken through to the level of a Great Luo Golden Immortal, I need to acquire some treasures that are commensurate with my current strength.

The old ones still work, but their power is a bit lacking.

Ning Qi thought to himself while turning his attention to the outside world.

By this time, the hall below their platform was already quite crowded with people. Those in front had obviously also spent their spiritual essence, and they still had places to sit.

There were no seats left for the people behind, clearly indicating that most of the people here were just there to watch the excitement.

Reluctant to spend any spiritual essence, the two chose a good spot.

"Sir, the food is here."

Not long after, the man arrived with two or three other people.

They put all the food Ning Qi ordered on the table.

"Okay, you can go ahead."

Ning Qi glanced at it, nodded in satisfaction, and then directly told them to leave.

After all, they need to discuss something here, and they can't have someone listening in. "Sir, um..."

The waiter stopped when he saw that the man was about to be let go.

He looked troubled.

"How many spirit stones do you want?"

Ning Qi understood what was going on, and while asking questions, he took out his storage bag.

"My lord, the Spirit Marrow Liquid requires a thousand, which would be too many spirit stones."

The man responded with a smile when asked.

"Alright, here's the Spirit Essence Liquid, please accept it."

Ning Qi didn't waste any words. He directly scanned the storage bag with his divine sense, separated the spiritual essence liquid, and handed it to the shop assistant.

"Thank you, sir!"

The waiter took his storage bag and then said respectfully.

A look of joy appeared in those eyes.

He welcomed them in and ordered food, clearly indicating that he was also able to take a cut.

Many people work hard all day here, but they may not even have the chance to make any money.

I made a profit today.

"Go ahead, I'll call you if anything happens," Ning Qi said, waving his hand.

"Yes, there are always people outside our door!"

The man agreed and then left with the rest of his men.

"Young Master Ding, you've really gone to a lot of trouble today."

After he left, Li Qiuwan said, "Originally, when we came here, I should have treated you."

She still harbors resentment about this matter.

"Don't say that. You took me in, so it's only right that I spend some money to treat you."

Ning Qi smiled upon hearing his words and said, "You'd better take a good look later. If you find anything you like, just say so."

"I'll take a picture for you and give it to you as a gift."

He spoke from the bottom of his heart.

I was able to get here because she took me in.

"That won't do, you've already spent enough today."

Li Qiuwan shook her head vigorously and hurriedly said, "It's my job to help you bid for the treasure."

“But you have so much spiritual essence, I feel that my little bit of spiritual essence liquid is too much.”

"The things you're going to use for filming probably won't meet your standards."

"A gift of a goose feather sent from afar is a small gift but carries great meaning."

"Take any photos you like, I'll love anything you give me."

Ning Qi was equally unceremonious.

Actually, it was just to ease the tension between the two of them.

"It should be starting soon, right?"

Li Qiuwan glanced down from the balcony and couldn't help but ask curiously.

They've been here for a while now, and most of the people below have already gathered.

So, it's obviously about to begin.

"It should start soon."

Ning Qi glanced down as well and said, "I want to see what treasures they have to auction today."

"I'd also like to see what's attracting so many people to come."

Hearing him say that, Li Qiuwan couldn't help but become interested.

One of those eyes looked down, it couldn't wait to start.

"Look, it's about to start."

Ning Qi pointed downwards.

At this moment, an auctioneer walked out from the back of the central seat.

He was accompanied by several men.

After the auctioneer came out, he went to the stage in the middle.

He looked at the crowd below with a satisfied expression.

The place was packed with people today, and it was already bustling with noise even before the auction started.

Many people are discussing what kind of auction will be held today.

Those who already had inside information started bragging to those around them.

However, these people were clearly shills for the auction.

It's clearly intentionally designed to attract people here.

"Ladies and gentlemen, our auction is about to begin."

It was at this moment that the auctioneer finally spoke.

After saying that, he turned his attention to what was below.

Everyone turned their attention to him.

"Let's begin then."

"What is the first treasure?"

"Yes, show it to us."

"..."

After he said that, some people started to jeer.

Everyone had an excited look on their faces, clearly very interested in the items to be auctioned.

"Ladies and gentlemen, we will naturally bring out the items that we will be auctioning later."

The auctioneer looked pleased to see the crowd's reaction.

It's obvious they're deliberately keeping us in suspense here.

If we tell them in advance, wouldn't all our efforts be wasted?

"The auctioneer did it on purpose."

Li Qiuwan looked at the crowd below and couldn't help but complain.

"Yeah, but it doesn't matter, we can just watch the show."

Ning Qi didn't care about that; he simply looked down.

At this moment, someone was already carrying a box up from behind.

The box quickly attracted everyone's attention after it appeared.

All eyes turned to look at them.

The staff placed it next to the auctioneer, and they breathed a sigh of relief.

What's inside?

"I don't know."

He'll tell you later.

"..."

Many people started discussing it, wanting to see what was in that alley.

"Ladies and gentlemen, here is a piece of armor."

The auctioneer then slowly said to the crowd, "This armor is no ordinary piece of armor; our people just retrieved it from here."

"We lost quite a few men because of this piece of armor!"

What kind of armor is it?

Stop keeping me in suspense.

He had barely finished speaking when people started urging him on.

The people below all opened their eyes wide and focused their attention on this side.

"This is a Flame Armor."

The auctioneer then said, "Don't underestimate him; he was forged in the flames of chaos."

"It's made from celestial stones from our immortal realm, capable of withstanding the full force of a top expert today!"

As soon as he spoke, many people looked on curiously.

At this moment, the armor had been taken out by two shop assistants and hung next to the auctioneer.

The moment this armor appeared, the surrounding air became scorching hot.

The temperature also rose a bit.

Many people looked up at it, their faces showing envy.

Clearly, they could all tell that this treasure was no ordinary item.

If you want something, you have to pay a price.

How much does this cost?

"Yes, let's see how much it costs."

"..."

Before long, people started asking questions.

"The starting bid is 500 million units of top-grade spiritual essence liquid!"

Seeing that everyone was asking about the price, the auctioneer held up his finger and said so.

Five hundred million?

"That's too expensive."

"Don't even think about it."

Many people were discouraged after hearing his words.

Such a high price has turned many people away.

"Each price increase must be at least ten million. We can begin now."

The auctioneer completely ignored these people, saying, "Remember, don't raise the price recklessly, and don't break our rules."

They came simply to make a show of things; they never even dared to dream that these people, who couldn't even afford a single seat, would ever be auctioned off. (End of Chapter)
