Chapter 157: Acres

When Ji Tianci heard this offer, he also felt that it was reasonable, the current F1 car production cost is almost millions of dollars, and this is still a car god to win the championship, which is of great significance.

Elton Senna was a driver who "died" on the racetrack. Later, Schumacher took over the title of car god.

The Arabs were very interested in the car collection, and after several rounds of bidding, the car was bought by an Arab from Abu Dhabi for $26 million.

The first lot at any auction tends to be of high quality, and the few items that follow this auction are not as valuable as the car gods.

Ji Tianci was also an eye-opener, in addition to some common antique calligraphy and paintings, there were also some strange things at the auction.

One of them, titled "Anne's Blood," sold for more than $100 million.

Li Fanzhi told Ji Tianci that it was the blood of a prince of the blood family, whose name was Anne Capet, who was extremely famous in the 16th century and was known as the first beauty in Europe. Not only was she beautiful, but she was even more noble, and by the middle of the nineteenth century, she had disappeared from view. Some say she is "sleeping", others say she died in battle, but her portrait has been circulating in the transcendent realm.

The first half of the auction went very fast. Sixty-six pieces of the collection, Ji Tianci thought that it would be auctioned until the evening, but by noon, the collection had already been auctioned off.

Li Fanzhi's work, the second largest in his "Masquerade" series, was also taken out, depicting people wearing masks of different expressions of joy, anger and sorrow.

The starting price of this painting is 4 million US dollars, which is the price set by the organizers, and Li Fanzhi is also quite satisfied with this starting price.

People bid very quickly, and it seems that people who come here have a psychological expectation of all the collections, and when they exceed the expectations, they stop bidding.

The painting also ended up fetching $12 million. Ji Tianci sighed for a while, and he asked Li Fanzhi: "Uncle Li, how long do you have to paint a painting?"

Li Fanzhi whispered to Ji Tianci: "My paintings are completed in an instant. ”

When Ji Tianci heard this, he thought that Li Fanzhi could manipulate liquids, and his control power was extremely strong. Presumably, he doesn't use a paintbrush to paint, but directly controls the paint to be applied to the paper.

"Then don't you sell more paintings and you won't be short of money anymore?"

Li Fanzhi shook his head: "Heaven-given ancestor, you are still too young! The so-called scarcity is expensive, if my paintings are too much, they will not be able to sell for a high price." ”

……

The first half of the auction also featured another painting by the Nine Shades painter, Xu Feihong's "Mirror Heart". According to Li Fanzhi, the paintings of the late painters are more valuable, and Xu Feihong is a respectable artist.

Xu Feihong painted both Chinese and oil paintings, and there are also his sketches on the market, he died in 1953, and this "Mirror Heart" was completed by him in 1951, which can be regarded as a work in his later years, and most of the works of art masters are more valuable in their later years.

The painting was sold for $70 million, and it was actually bought back by the people of the Sword of the Nine Shadows.

***

At the end of the first half of the auction, it was not yet one o'clock at noon, and the auctioneer was like the host of the mall's exhibition and sales event, she didn't even take an auction hammer, and she spoke very quickly, for fear that she would not be able to sell the whole collection.

And the introduction of these collections, she can only say three sentences at most. However, people already know a lot about the auction items, and the ones that should be introduced have been introduced in the brochure.

During the intermission, Ji Tianci found that there were many mortals in the venue, because many rooms called staff to order food, and these people needed to eat. Only a small number of customers in the room did not order, and they continued to wait for the second half of the auction to begin.

Lu Manwen and Professor Ye also ordered some seafood, which was quickly delivered by the waiter. And the organizers don't seem to care too much about the feelings of mortals, the second half of the auction started at two o'clock, and Lu Manwen and Professor Ye haven't finished their meals yet.

The auctioneer in the second half was an old European man, also dressed in ancient Greek costumes, and this old man was not recognizable anywhere except for his beard and white hair. If he cut off his beard and hair, he would definitely be a sturdy middle-aged man.

Li Fanzhi introduced the three of them again: "His name is Acreus, the elder who controls the 'Thunder' in the Temple of the Gods, and the only S-level controller on the scene. No other Paranormal organization is allowed to enter the venue, except for healers. Acreus belongs to the Zeus god system, and there are a total of four S-class controllers in the temple of gods, two in the Zeus god system, and two in the Odin god system, all four of whom have artifacts, and they are the pillars of the temple of gods. ”

Ji Tianci understood that the auction venue did not need other security measures, and the combat S-class transcendent with an artifact was the most powerful security.

The old man's voice was loud, his eyes were like thunder and lightning, and his eyes swept across the audience. When he swept to Ji Tianci's room, Ji Tianci felt an inexplicable pressure. And everyone was like seeing a god, and they were taken by the old man's divine might.

But Ji Tianci is a person who has seen Heavenly Punishment and Pangu, and when he sees Akeris at this time, he only thinks that he is a "strong" transcendent.

The first lot of the second half was presented to everyone, a small bottle containing only ten milliliters of "water". According to Acrius, it contains the "Source of Life", which is taken from another artifact in the Temple of the Gods, the "Treasure Bottle", which is the bottle described in the "Aquarius" in the mouth of the Nine Ghosts.

Legend has it that this bottle can only produce 10 milliliters of water per year, which can not only cure all diseases, but also prolong life, and for mortals, 10 milliliters of "source of life" can last for at least ten years.

Li Fanzhi sneered on the side, "That 'treasure bottle' has always been the treasure of the temple of the gods, and rich mortals value their lives more than anything else, but this 'water' can't be auctioned for 100 million dollars." ”

"Why?" Ji Tianci was puzzled, he felt that some dying rich businessmen would definitely be desperate to buy this life-sustaining thing.

"Because the Dark Council is also like the 'first embrace' of the Blood Princes sold by the outside world. The first embrace of the Bloodline was to transform mortals into vampires. And the prince's initial possession has a high chance of converting mortals into baron-level bloods, and when they reach the baron level, their lifespan will be greatly extended, and the sunlight can't kill them, only high-intensity ultraviolet rays can make them 'wither'. This is much more efficient and convenient than the 'Source of Life'. ”

Sure enough, the starting price of the "Source of Life", which sounded very good, was only $10 million, and the transaction price was only $50 million.

The second auction item is a bracelet, which is made of obsidian material, and the shape is very unique, with twelve "obsidian" pieces strung together, and each "obsidian" has a different shape.

According to Acres, this bracelet is a "talisman". Tear off the bracelet, and the twelve "divine stones" will become a set of armor to protect the whole body. Even a top-tier A-class transcendent would take five minutes to shatter the armor. And once the bracelet is unlocked, the temple of gods will also know that they will send an S-class transcendent to make a free move for the buyer of the bracelet, but only to save people, and not to participate in the customer's grievances.

Ji Tianci quickly heard the trickiness in it, it stands to reason that an S-level transcendent shot is more valuable than armor at a time, but it can indeed only be used as a "gift". If the purchaser is also attacked by the S-class transcendent, it is estimated that he will be dead before the transcendent flight of the Temple of the Gods.

The starting price of this thing is 30 million US dollars, which is also kind, it basically guarantees that customers will not be killed by A-class transcendentals, although there is only one chance, but there is only one life, which is equivalent to buying an extra life.

Sure enough, the competition for the bracelet was fierce, and most of the bidders were some mortals.
