"Okay, the auction is about to begin."
Suddenly, the lights in the auction hall dimmed, and when they came on again, an elegant woman appeared on the stage below. She was wearing a bright red cheongsam that perfectly wrapped her curvaceous figure. I guess she was the buying and selling officer of this auction.
"Your Yanye Chamber of Commerce is full of beautiful women." Long Xiangtian said to Lu Jin with a teasing look.
"There are not as many beauties as you have in Hua Pavilion. I'm afraid none of the girls here would catch your eye. I heard that you even managed to get Yunniang. Is that true?"
Long Xiangtian didn't expect Lu Jin to bring up himself and Yunniang. He felt a little embarrassed and thought that the misunderstanding between him and Yunniang would sooner or later be known to everyone in the city.
Seeing that Long Xiangtian didn't answer him, Lu Jin thought that Long Xiangtian didn't want to tell him: "You are so stingy. You don't even dare to admit it."
Long Xiangtian understood that Lu Jin had misunderstood him again, but he was too lazy to explain, so he had to continue the topic of the auction.
"Ms. Lu Jin, how many items are there in this auction? When will it be my turn?"
Lu Jin noticed that Long Xiangtian was trying to change the subject, but he did not expose Long Xiangtian and began to introduce the auction to Long Xiangtian.
"We have more than 40 items of various sizes in this auction. Although the number is large, they are definitely all top-quality items. All 40 items are top-notch products that we have brought out in collaboration with several chambers of commerce. Even the Earth Dragon Grass you brought can only rank fifth or sixth."
"But you brought this Earth Dragon Grass just in time. I think it will cause a lot of competition. The price should be around one million."
Long Xiangtian was not surprised to hear that the Earth Dragon Grass he brought could only rank fifth or sixth. After all, although this Earth Dragon Grass was somewhat special, it was only effective for those below the Guanli realm, which greatly reduced its value. Being able to sell it for more than one million was already very satisfying for Long Xiangtian.
However, Long Xiangtian was also very curious about the top few products. After all, no matter how bad the Earth Dragon Grass was, it was still an Earth-grade herb. The ones that ranked above his must not be bad. However, Long Xiangtian did not continue to ask.
Lu Jin looked at Long Xiangtian, thinking that Long Xiangtian would continue to ask questions out of curiosity, but unexpectedly, Long Xiangtian's eyes began to look towards the auction table again.
In fact, Lu Jin had planned to say so much to Long Xiangtian. She wanted to turn the passive situation into active one and wanted to lead Long Xiangtian. She was almost successful, but Long Xiangtian stopped asking questions, whether intentionally or unintentionally. This made Lu Jin feel a little powerless, but she did not show it. She still watched the auction scene with Long Xiangtian with a smile on her face.
As the merchandise was brought out one by one, Long Xiangtian finally understood why this auction could attract so many people. In the first few items, Long Xiangtian saw many rare treasures that were rarely seen in the outside world, but they did not attract Long Xiangtian at all.
However, Long Xiangtian discovered that the people who were bidding now were all sitting in the hall, while no sound came from the boxes, as if there was no one there at all. Long Xiangtian also knew that those in there were probably people of noble status.
However, starting from the 20th or 30th items, bids were heard from the boxes one after another, and it seemed that the climax was about to begin.
As expected, the auction officially reached its climax with the appearance of a piece called "Tianhe Hanjiang Armor". According to the auctioneers, this "Tianhe Hanjiang Armor" was made of cold iron extracted from the Tianhe River, and was forged by several masters who exhausted all their efforts over 9981 days.
The Chamber of Commerce even asked someone to add a mysterious energy to it, so that this armor would have the ability to resist even when facing the Xuan realm.
This armor is indeed a good product, especially for young talents like Long Xiangtian, so it has caused quite a stir. However, Long Xiangtian did not fight for it. After all, he was a little short of money, and he would not grab things that he did not really need. He was more interested in the goods behind.
Finally, "Tianhe Hanjiang Jia" was bought by someone in the box at a high price of 700,000.
However, each subsequent item was no less expensive than the previous "Tianhe Hanjiang Armor" and they were all sold for nearly a million yuan. This made Long Xiangtian smile bitterly. After all, the current items were so expensive that if a product he liked appeared in the future, he might not know whether he could afford it.
Looking at Long Xiangtian's appearance, Lu Jin suddenly realized that Long Xiangtian probably didn't have much money. In fact, that was true. After all, how could Hua Ge's speed of making money be compared with their Yanye Chamber of Commerce.
"Long Xiangtian, I can lend you one million in my personal name." Lu Jin suddenly spoke, not knowing what he was thinking of.
"We'll talk about it when the time comes." Long Xiangtian didn't want to have anything to do with the Yanye Chamber of Commerce anymore.
Seeing that Long Xiangtian answered him perfunctorily, Lu Jin did not show any unhappiness on his face, but there was a hint of confidence in his eyes.
"The next thing that will appear is a very precious herb."
The woman's words attracted Long Xiangtian again. It seemed that it was time for his Earth Dragon Grass to appear.
"All of you practitioners know how difficult it is to advance from the Qi Refining Stage to the Power Condensing Stage. Even if ordinary herbs can help people achieve rapid success, they are just forcing things to happen. They may even cause a person's profound energy to become disordered, which is not worth the effort."
"But the next herb is different. Not only can it help people pass through the Penetration Realm easily, but it can also allow the cultivator's Xuan Qi to merge extremely smoothly without any discomfort. More importantly, this herb has a mild property and will directly open up the cultivator's meridians in an instant instead of Xuan Qi, without any pain at all."
"Having said that, I think everyone should have guessed what I'm talking about. This is the Earth-grade herb Earth Dragon Grass."
I have to say that the woman was very good at creating a good atmosphere and her tone was perfect. When she finished speaking, there was quite a stir in the crowd.
"Earth Dragon Grass, that is an earth-grade herb. The Yanye Chamber of Commerce is indeed the number one chamber of commerce in Tianming City. They even put out earth-grade herbs for auction."
"I, Wang, will definitely take this Earth Dragon Grass."
"this... "
The noise continued for quite some time before it ended, and the woman on the stage began to speak again.
"Everyone must know how precious this Earth Dragon Grass is, so the price is not bad. I hope someone with a good fortune will get it. The base price for this Earth Dragon Grass is 700,000, and each bid must not be less than 10,000. The bidding begins."
Following the woman's words, the people in the field were also a little surprised. Many people sitting at the bottom had helpless looks on their faces. They did not expect that the price of this Earth Dragon Grass would be so high right from the start. It was almost the same as the transaction price of "Tianhe Hanjiang Jia", which directly put an end to their thoughts.
However, for the people in the box, this herb is worth more than 700,000. It is especially important to many family members who are planning to make a breakthrough, so some people started raising the price right from the beginning.
