Chapter 81: The Auction Begins.
"Needless to say, extraordinary times are very tricky, don't let people see us laughing. The old man said, snatched the porcelain bottle from Yang Cheng's hand, and swallowed the Zhuyan Pill in one gulp under the surprised eyes of everyone.
Xia Chen looked at the old man in surprise, and said in his heart that this person is really courageous, in other words, any normal person will choose to watch the fire from the other side in the face of no absolute certainty, and he will not try it easily, he is good, he swallowed it directly without saying a word, he is not afraid that this thing is poisonous, I really don't know if he has a big heart or is bold.
Of course, whether there is an effect or not, what is the effect, Xia Chen knows it, after all, this is refined by his hands, if you want to speak right, no one can have more weight than him, but he knows it, others don't know......
Fortunately, the anti-heaven effect of the Zhuyan Pill did not disgrace Xia Chen, as the pill entered the old man's mouth and entered the stomach along the throat, just a blink of an eye, the wrinkles on the old man's face obviously withdrew a lot, that is, the silver hair that was originally gray also turned from white to black at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the whole person was full of youthful vitality.
"What's wrong with all of you? Is there really a problem?" the old man saw that the others were looking at him like monsters, and reached out and touched his cheek, which made him stunned.
The loose skin has become elastic, and the rough feel is no longer there, and even the whole person feels more energetic......
Yang Cheng swallowed his saliva, took out his mobile phone from his pants pocket with a long mouth, trembled and modulated the screen to the selfie interface, and took a picture of the old man.
"This ..... I can't believe that I've really become young!" The old man put down his phone in a trance, looked at the porcelain bottle in his hand and muttered to himself.
Xia Chen saw that everyone was still in a state of suffering from gains and losses, and couldn't help but pretend to cough a few times, "Ahem... You've seen the results, shouldn't we talk about the auction?"
"Summer... Mr. Xia: yes.... You may be seated. Yang Cheng was the first to come back to his senses, he put away the embarrassment on his face, and hurriedly motioned for Xia Chen to sit down and speak.
Xia Chen nodded, didn't shirk, and took him to his seat, Yang Cheng took a deep breath and said: "Mr. Xia, the effect of your Zhuyan Pill is really incredible, if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I really thought that all this was fake." ”
"I just don't know, how long will this last, how much younger will it make the person taking it?"
Yang Cheng's sentences were very slow when he spoke, deliberately spaced between words, he was afraid that he would bite his tongue because of nervousness if he spoke too quickly, just a few simple questions, which seemed to exhaust all the strength of his body.
"Yes, Mr. Xia, since you want to auction this Zhuyan Pill, I have learned the effect, but I don't know the timeliness of the medicinal effect, after all, this thing is not the same as other tangible things, use one less one, if you can't specify it, I'm afraid it will be difficult for others to accept it....."
The old man also suddenly interjected at this time, he can be said to be the real beneficiary, originally he also felt that his behavior was too reckless, in case there is really anything long and two short, the little life is likely to be lost directly, but now it seems that this adventure can be said to be a blood gain, and no one can appreciate the magic of the Zhuyan Dan better than him.
"The effect of the drug is permanent, I can guarantee this, as for how many years younger...... Ten years old, I can't guarantee more. ”
"Silk ....."
For a moment, the room was filled with the sound of gasps.
Coming out of the appraisal room, Xia Chen returned to the seat at the venue, Lu Xinyao saw him come back, and pointed to the phone screen, "Why have you been in the bathroom for so long, and if you don't come back, the auction will start." ”
Xia Chen scratched his head with an embarrassed expression, "The bathroom is being repaired, and I ran a long way to find another one." ”
Lu Xinyao was skeptical, but since Xia Chen was back, she couldn't say anything more.
After a brief silence, the lights in the venue dimmed, and then a bright light shone on the auction table in front of it.
A tall and glamorous woman in a cheongsam slowly walked onto the stage with graceful steps.
"Welcome to the triennial auction ceremony of Longxing Auction House, today it is still me, Tan Xiaolin as the auctioneer of this auction. ”
"To make a long story short, let's get straight to today's topic, and I believe you can't wait. ”
"Then the first auction item is invited to the stage!"
With Tan Xiaolin's gesture guidance, the stage lights turned on and moved to the center following the steps of an attendant.
The red cloth was lifted, revealing a gemstone necklace set with a sapphire the size of a goose egg.
"This necklace is called Oath Eternity, and it is inlaid with a sapphire in the world at the moment, and the craftsmanship is ......."
Tan Xiaolin introduced the characteristics and selling points of the necklace, and the atmosphere of the venue was driven by her for a while, she accepted it when she saw it, and knocked on the auction hammer in her hand.
"The eternal reserve price of the pledge is 1000W, and the price increase shall not be less than 100W each time, and the auction will start now!"
As soon as the words fell, shouts of bidding came from the scene one after another.
“1100W!”
“1300W!”
.......
“1600W!”
The necklace was sold for 1600W and was sold by a woman wearing gold and silver.
As soon as this side came to an end, a second auction item was quickly delivered, which was a calligraphy and painting, which is said to be a product of the Song Dynasty......
Xia Chen leaned lazily on the back of the chair, listening to the quotations coming out of his ears from time to time, and sighed in his heart, the world of rich people is really crazy, hundreds of thousands of Ws are just like a few dollars, and sure enough, people are more popular than people.
Seeing this, Lu Xinyao approached Xia Chen's side and whispered, "Why, looking at your appearance, are you not used to the atmosphere here?" ”
"It's strange to be able to get used to it, I thought that I would be considered rich now, but compared to these people, it is not half a star. ”
"You are content, I don't want to think about how old you are, I dare to say that at your age, there is no one who can have the current value, except for the family relationship, of course......"
"I know you're comforting me, but that's okay, money is enough, I'm not a snob. ”
"Haha, you're the first person I've ever met to say that. Lu Xinyao covered her mouth and laughed.
Regarding her reaction, Xia Chen smiled faintly.
Who would be afraid of too much money, this is a bottomless pit, a desire that can never be filled, even if you have money that no one else can earn in a lifetime, you will still want to get more, endlessly......
It is this material satisfaction that mortals seek, and only by obtaining more can they support their great greed, and not pursue nothing.
If Xia Chen hadn't been inherited by chance, he might have fallen into this never-ending vicious circle.
