Shen Luo couldn't help but grin when he heard this. This black tortoise shell was indeed incredibly expensive. The starting price was that of a top-grade magical weapon.
When everyone in the venue heard this, most of those who were ready to make a move gave up. There were many people who could offer three hundred fairy jades, but that was just the starting price. The actual transaction price was obviously far more than that.
Although they thought it was too expensive, there were some people who did not. Immediately, some wealthy people made a bid. After several rounds of bidding, the price of the black tortoise shell quickly rose to five hundred fairy jades.
The person who made the bid was a short and fat man in fancy clothes, who silenced all other voices.
The short and fat man looked gritting his teeth, and it was obvious that he had put all his wealth on the line.
"Five hundred and fifty fairy jades!" a voice rang out.
However, it was General Jin Kui who finally made a move and raised the price by fifty fairy jades at once, which showed that he was quite wealthy.
The short and fat man's body trembled, and he collapsed there like a deflated ball.
"Haha, Fellow Daoist Jin is also interested in this black tortoise shell. In that case, I'll come and join in the fun. Five hundred and eighty fairy jades." The hermit Mian Yue next to him laughed and raised his hand and said.
“Six hundred fairy jades!” General Jin Kui seemed to value the black tortoise shell very much and immediately raised the price.
"The Tang Dynasty government is wealthy and powerful, but I also have some assets, six hundred and fifty fairy jades." Mr. Mian Yue unfolded his folding fan and said with a smile.
At this moment, everyone else in the venue fell silent. No one took any action and just watched the two of them fight.
"Eight hundred fairy jades!" General Jin Kui did not hesitate and added a full 150 fairy jades in one breath, which shocked everyone present.
Mr. Mian Yue's expression also sank.
“I am determined to get this piece of black tortoise shell. If Brother Mian Yue wants to bid, it’s up to you. But please don’t spend all your fortune.” General Jin Kui said calmly.
"You want me to spend all my fortune? It's still too early. Nine hundred fairy jades." Mr. Mian Yue laughed and seemed a little angry.
“One thousand fairy jades!” Seeing that he failed to scare away Monk Mian Yue, General Jin Kui frowned slightly and raised the price again.
"One thousand five hundred fairy jades!" A cold voice suddenly sounded. It was the Fairy Qinghua who had been silent all the time, and she directly crushed General Jinkui.
Everyone present gasped when they heard this. The Barehanded Immortal on the stage also stood there in a daze. The entire venue fell silent, and it was only after a while that someone started whispering.
"One thousand five hundred fairy jades? Fellow Daoist Qinghua is very magnanimous. Although this black tortoise shell is precious, it does not weigh much. Is it worth so much?" General Jin Kui said coldly.
"Whether it's worth it depends on what one wants. If Daoist Fellow Jin Kui wants this item, just continue to raise the price." Fairy Qinghua said in a flat tone.
"Hehe, I am not a sucker. Since fellow Daoist Qinghua wants this item and has offered a high price of 1,500 fairy jades, how can I not help him?" General Jin Kui smiled and stopped bidding.
Mr. Mian Yue frowned a few times but didn't say anything else.
On the high platform, a glimmer of joy flashed across the eyes of Bare Hands Immortal. Xuanyuan Pavilion had reserved a price of around one thousand fairy jades for this piece of black tortoise shell, but now it had been sold at a high price of one thousand five hundred fairy jades.
According to the rules of Xuanyuan Pavilion, if the auction items exceed the predetermined price, the auctioneer will receive a 10% commission on the excess amount, which is a total of 50 fairy jades.
