at dusk.
Tang Xiu, who looked pale, followed Miao Wentang and the others to the venue of the Bauhinia Auction, Jingmen Island International Business Conference Center.
Eighteenth floor.
In the huge auction site, one-third of the thousands of tables and chairs were already occupied. Moreover, there were people rushing in from outside.
The four of them found a seat at random, and as soon as they sat down, the service staff at the auction site presented the list of items to be auctioned in this auction.
Tang Xiu sat on a chair and looked at the pictures and text descriptions of the items on the list that were to be auctioned. The list was three pages long. When he read the first two pages, there was a bit of disappointment in his eyes. Although many of those items were good items, they were of no use to him at all.
Opening the last page, Tang Xiu glanced at the list roughly. However, in an instant, his eyes froze, and there was an expression of disbelief in his eyes.
Sky crack stone
It turned out to be a cracked sky stone
If this picture is taken correctly, it is definitely the main material for refining the space ring: the space stone.
Tang Xiu's heart beat faster in an instant, and his eyes showed the determination to win. Originally, he was a little worried. He was going to the Dragon Sea Area tomorrow. If he hunted a large ferocious beast, or multiple large ferocious beasts, how could he transport them back? But if you refine the space ring yourself, transporting it back will definitely not be a problem.
"Low price of five million? Every bid must not be less than five million?"
Tang Xiu thought for a moment and felt that with the funds he had now, it would be no problem to bid for this fist-sized cracked sky stone.
Betting against Ye Taifu at the Paradise Club, he won money, and after removing the 249 million allocated to Jia Ruidao, he got 250 million. He spent 20 million to buy materials for the corpses of ferocious beasts, and now he still has a total of 230 million.
"I still have 230 million for the cracked sky stone with a base price of 5 million. I should be able to use it for auction. If it is really not enough, I can borrow money from Jia Ruidao! When I have money, I can pay it back to him. ." Tang Xiu thought secretly in his heart.
"Um?"
Just when Tang Xiu suppressed the surprise in his heart and looked at the list below again, he found another useful thing: thousand-year-old wild ginseng.
If placed in the fairy world, let alone thousand-year-old wild ginseng, he would not be short of even ten-thousand-year-old wild ginseng. Thousand-year-old wild ginseng is what he uses to feed his spiritual beasts. But now, it is too precious to him. If he could buy this thousand-year-old wild ginseng at auction, he would have another main ingredient for refining Golden Bell Liquid, and the effect of the refined Golden Bell Liquid would be absolutely excellent.
"Buy! You must get it!"
Tang Xiu looked at the quotation below, his expression suddenly froze, and his eyes revealed an unbelievable light.
"Fifty million?"
The low price of this thousand-year-old ginseng is actually 50 million. Moreover, the amount of bid increase for each auction shall not be less than two million.
Tang Xiu's lips twitched: "If, if I moved all the thousand-year-old ginseng from the medicine garden I had in the fairy world, I should be able to buy dozens of earths, right? This price... is really a scam!"
He looked down again and found that there were several other items that were useful to ascetics, but of little use to him.
finally!
He targeted the Sky Cracking Stone and Millennium Ginseng. He was silently calculating in his mind how much it would cost to get these two things.
"Mr. Tang, what do you like?"
After reading the list in his hand, Shao Mingzhen turned to look at Tang Xiu sitting next to him and asked in a low voice.
Tang Xiu pointed to the Sky Cracking Stone and Millennium Ginseng, and said, "I need these two things, buy them as much as possible."
Shao Mingzhen looked at the cracked sky stone and felt a little surprised. Because he didn't know what kind of stone it was, the auctioneer just explained: rare ore, hard material, suspected of being an alien meteorite. However, the thousand-year-old ginseng made him a little depressed, because he also took a fancy to the thousand-year-old ginseng.
Thousand-year-old ginseng is absolutely rare on the earth today, and it has almost reached the point where it is not available in the market. Some people have never heard of how many thousand-year-old ginseng is for sale, even if they spend a lot of money to buy it. Moreover, let alone thousand-year-old ginseng, even wild ginseng that is more than 500 years old is now very rare.
"Forget it! Just give up on this!"
Shao Mingzhen sighed secretly in his heart, turned around, touched Miao Wentang, and told him the two items Tang Xiu was going to bid for.
Miao Wentang also fell in love with the thousand-year-old wild ginseng. Like Shao Mingzhen, he finally planned to give up after learning that Tang Xiu wanted it.
As for Ziyi Zhenren, he is purely here to make soy sauce. Even if he likes something, he will not bid for it. It's not that he doesn't want to buy it, it's that he is so poor that he simply can't afford it.
At eight o'clock sharp.
As a young girl stepped onto the auction stage, the auction venue, which was originally buzzing with chatter, suddenly became quiet. Everyone's eyes were focused on the young girl.
"Welcome everyone to come and participate in the annual Bauhinia Auction. This year's Bauhinia Auction will be held on our Jingmen Island, and all the items on the auction list will be delivered. I am Xiao Ai, and I am also participating in this Bauhinia Auction. Auctioneer who knows how to do it.”
"I believe that everyone has seen the items to be auctioned in this auction from the auction list, and I also believe that everyone already has the items that they want to auction. I wish everyone in advance a lot of harvest and a fruitful return."
"I would like to announce that the 21st Bauhinia Auction has officially begun. The first item we will auction is a precious antique, a blue and white porcelain vase produced in an official kiln in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties. Don't underestimate this. The seal on the blue and white porcelain vase shows that it was used by the royal family, and it was probably an item from the residence of the founding emperor of the Qing Dynasty... "
Tang Xiujing sat down below, listening to the auctioneer's boastful introduction, announcing the start of the bidding, and watching hundreds of guests who came to participate in the Bauhinia auction below, vying for bids. There was a strange feeling in my heart.
As the saying goes: Gold in troubled times is collected in prosperous times.
He now deeply understands the true meaning of this sentence. Each item was auctioned at a high price, and each item was auctioned and bought at a high price. He had to sigh that there are so many rich people nowadays, and even more rich people love to collect. Of course, he also had another thought, which was: People are stupid and have too much money, so there is no point in buying a dead thing to take home as an offering.
During the two-hour auction, Tang Xiu never made a move. On the contrary, Shao Mingzhen and Miao Wentang each took one shot and bought the items they needed.
"The item we are auctioning below is a rare ore. This rare ore is made of hard material and is suspected to be a meteorite that fell on the earth from the alien sky. I believe that this is also a precious ore with very collectible value. Maybe it will have room for appreciation in the future. , it will be hard to estimate. Its low price is 5 million, and each bid must not be less than 500,000. The bidding begins now." The auctioneer held the cracked sky stone that was brought up, explained it with emotion, and then announced the bidding start.
"coming!"
Tang Xiu perked up and fixed his eyes firmly on the cracked sky stone. He was not in a hurry to make an offer, because after two hours of observation, he had discovered that few of the people who made the initial offer really wanted to buy, and were just offering suggestions. If someone tried to rob them, they would give up immediately. If no one followed, they would give up immediately. If they rob, they might be able to buy something they like for a small amount of money.
"Six million."
A voice sounded, and the sign in the man's hand was raised.
"Six and a half million!"
"Seven million!"
"Seven and a half million!"
“…”
Soon, the price of this space-cracking stone had climbed to 9.5 million. However, after that person quoted the price, more than ten seconds passed, and no one quoted again.
The auctioneer had a sweet smile on his face and said: "That gentleman bid 9.5 million. Is there anyone else willing to bid higher? Don't underestimate this rare ore. Its mystery may not be revealed until the end." One day in the future, the value will increase ten or twenty times compared to now.”
"Ten million!"
As the auctioneer's voice fell, another voice sounded.
Tang Xiu took a deep breath, raised his sign and said, "Ten and a half million."
"Fifteen million!"
The voice sounded again.
Tang Xiu held up a sign and shouted: "Twenty million."
"Wow..."
Everyone in the auction venue turned to look at Tang Xiu, and there was a lot of discussion:
"Who is the fool who has too much money? A piece of ore that has no use, even if it is rare, is not worth 20 million! Could it be that you have listened to the auctioneer's deception and want to get rich in the future?"
"You can buy a piece of ore for 20 million, are you kidding me? I think 10 million is high enough. These days, rich people really don't take money seriously!"
"He is a young man. I don't know which family's prodigal son he is. If I had such a junior, I would definitely break his legs and let him stay at home and think about his mistakes behind closed doors."
"That young man, doesn't he have a crush on the auctioneer girl? Does he want to show off his power in front of others?"
"It's really interesting!"
“…”
Tang Xiu's hearing was so sharp that he could clearly hear the discussions of many people in the venue, but he still maintained an indifferent expression. He didn't bother to pay attention to those people who had no eyes for gold and jade. Of course, he will not tell everyone the purpose of the Sky Cracking Stone. After all, the Sky Cracking Stone is a treasure in one's hands, but in the hands of someone who doesn't know how to refine a space ring, it is just a rough stone.
The auctioneer took a deep look at Tang Xiu and asked with a smile: "That handsome guy bid 20 million, is there anything higher than 20 million? If not, this precious and rare ore belongs to that handsome guy. ”
There was silence at the auction site.
Just when the auctioneer was about to make the final decision and announce that Tang Xiu had won the Sky Cracking Stone, a voice suddenly sounded:
"Fifty million!"
