Soon, all ten auction items were sold out. During this period, it was the people sitting in the hall who made the bids, while the people in the private rooms never made a bid. But everyone knew that it was not that they did not make a bid, but that they looked down on the auction items. Once they made a bid, those sitting in the hall would basically only be able to watch the show and would have no room to intervene.
"The eleventh auction item is a piece of Demon Cloud Gold Stone."
Lu Zhan lifted the silk, and a black stone the size of a human head appeared in front of everyone.
"Shit, what is this, a rock?"
"I don't know what the auction house is doing. They're even auctioning stones. Are they crazy about money?"
"Do you really think we are idiots? Why would you auction off everything?"
Looking at this piece of black stone, many people cursed loudly, but there were also some people who knew the value of it, their eyes lit up, staring at the black stone intently.
"Devil Cloud Gold Stone?"
In the private room, Wu Chen's eyes lit up. This Demon Cloud Gold Stone was a kind of refining material with a wide range of uses. It could be used to make many weapons. Two days ago, he got the Black Crystal Iron and was about to make a weapon. He needed some auxiliary materials. This Demon Cloud Gold Stone came at a very timely moment.
“Everyone, this Demon Cloud Gold Stone is not an ordinary stone, but a precious material for refining weapons. I believe that the refiners present here will be very interested in it. The starting price is 30,000 taels of silver, and each increase in price must be no less than 3,000 taels of silver. Please bid.” Lu Zhan continued.
"It turns out to be a refining material. I thought it was just an ordinary stone."
"Since it's something for refining, it has nothing to do with us. Let's just watch the fun."
Everyone suddenly realized.
"Thirty thousand."
Suddenly, a voice came down and someone made a bid.
"This voice came from the private room. Are those big shots in the room finally going to take action?"
"This is room 25. Who's in?"
"Just now I seemed to see an old man in black walk in. He seemed to be a weapon refiner."
"So he's a weapon refiner, no wonder."
This Demon Cloud Gold Stone is a material for refining weapons. In this world, it is estimated that only weapon refiners would regard it as a treasure.
"Thirty-five thousand taels of silver."
The person in another private room made a bid and raised the price to five thousand taels of silver. Everyone looked up and saw that it was private room number 36.
"Forty thousand taels of silver."
The people in room 25 followed suit and immediately raised the price.
"Forty-three thousand."
"Forty-six thousand."
Under the continuous competition between the two private room bosses, the price of the Magic Cloud Gold Stone also rose sharply, and soon reached 80,000 taels of silver, and it seemed that there was still an upward trend.
"It's already 80,000. The big boss in the private room is really extraordinary when he makes a move."
"Is this thing really worth 80,000 taels of silver? No matter how I look at it, I feel like it's just an ordinary piece of stone. How can it be worth so much money?"
"I don't know. We don't understand the world of weapon refiners."
People were talking about it.
"Forget it, I won't fight for it. It's not worth spending 80,000 taels of silver to buy the Demon Cloud Gold Stone."
The people in Room 36 backed off. Things like the Demon Cloud Gold Stone were not particularly rare and could be found in many places.
"This distinguished guest has offered 80,000. Is there a higher price?"
Lu Zhan looked at Room 36, hoping that the people inside would make another bid, but there was no movement in Room 36, and it seemed that they had really given up.
"In that case, I declare..."
Before he finished speaking, a voice came from another private room: "Eighty-three thousand."
Everyone was stunned and looked up at the other private room.
"This is room 47. Who's in?"
"I didn't pay much attention. I wonder who went in?"
"The only person who would try to snatch this Demon Cloud Gold Stone would be a weapon refiner, so this person must be a weapon refiner."
"Isn't this nonsense? Will others take action to snatch the Demon Cloud Gold Stone?"
Lu Zhan was stunned for a moment, then he was overjoyed. It looked like the competition for the Demon Cloud Gold Stone had not yet reached its end.
Private room No. 47 is where Wu Chen is. He now has black crystal iron and needs some auxiliary materials to forge weapons.
"Eighty-six thousand."
After a moment's silence, the person in room 25 made another bid.
"Ninety thousand."
Everyone was stunned. Looking at the price trend, the people in Room 47 were determined to get the Demon Cloud Gold Stone.
The people in Room 25 hesitated for a moment, as if considering whether it was worth spending so much money to buy a piece of Magic Cloud Gold Stone.
After a while, he said again: "Ninety-three thousand."
"One hundred thousand."
Everyone's heart skipped a beat. One hundred thousand taels of silver was not a small sum. Take the Wu family in Yunfeng City for example. It was almost equal to half of their annual income.
"Forget it, one hundred thousand is too high. I won't fight for it."
The people in Room 25 also gave up. It was not worthwhile to spend 100,000 taels of silver to buy a piece of Demon Cloud Gold Stone.
"One hundred thousand each time."
"One hundred thousand twice."
"One hundred thousand three times, congratulations to this distinguished guest."
Lu Zhan was very happy. The price of this Demon Cloud Gold Stone was originally estimated to be 70,000 taels of silver, and no more than 80,000 at most. Now it was sold for 100,000, which was quite unexpected.
Soon, the auction staff brought the Demon Cloud Gold Stone. Wu Chen paid a check for one hundred thousand taels of silver and bought the Demon Cloud Gold Stone.
The auction continues.
"The 22nd auction item, also the finale of the first round of auctions, is a set of low-grade defensive soft armor."
Lu Zhan took out a small and exquisite piece of armor. The armor was finely crafted, shimmering with golden light, and dazzling. It made many people's eyes light up and show great interest.
"Defensive soft armor."
Looking at the armor in Lu Zhan's hand, Wu Chen's heart was also pounding. Defensive magic weapons have always been hard to come by, and defense is also a kind of strength. Its importance to cultivators is self-evident. If he had worn this soft armor in Qingyang Mountain, then the damage caused by Yuan Xiaotian's full-strength palm would have been reduced by at least half.
"Low-grade soft armor, a defensive magic weapon. Wearing it can increase your defense by three layers, and can withstand a full-strength attack from a Spiritual Sea Realm expert. The starting price is 200,000 taels of silver, and each bid must be no less than 20,000 taels of silver. Please bid."
When the price was announced, many people's hearts skipped a beat. Although this thing was good, the price scared them and they stayed away from buying it.
"Two hundred thousand taels of silver?"
Wu Chen also frowned. This starting price was a bit scary, but he also understood that defensive magic weapons have always been hard to find and the price is extremely expensive. The starting price alone is as high as 200,000 taels of silver. The final transaction price will definitely not be less than 600,000 taels of silver.
