Chapter 553, The Grand Auction
Night finally fell, and the three of Qin Jue also set off from the Qin Mansion, accompanied by nearly a hundred guards, but when they arrived near the auction hall, he let these guards spread out and hide nearby, the reason why they were arranged was just in case, before that, Prince Dong had warned them that tonight's auction would involve some heavy treasures, which would inevitably cause competition from all sides, and many hidden family ancestors were also out of the customs, and they all attached great importance to this auction, so there must be a scramble. Although this is located in the imperial city, it is not inevitable that some people will use some tricks in the dark, so bring some guards in case you need them.
Entering the auction hall, Qin Jue was also a little surprised, this venue is really too big, and the interior decoration is also extremely luxurious, the entire store is divided into two floors, above is the VIP room, set up a luxurious box, the first is the emperor's exclusive box, followed by the princes and ministers' boxes, and finally the major families of the Chamber of Commerce. With the identity of the three people, they are not qualified to go to the box, but the Xi family has a box, although it has not been used for many years, but it is still there. This time, even the two Xiluo sisters were obviously alarmed, and they entered the box early.
Seeing Qin Jue and the three of them enter, Xi Luo was also very happy, and hurriedly arranged for the maid to invite, but in order to avoid suspicion, Qin Jue did not agree. However, soon, Prince Dong personally went downstairs to invite him, and Qin Jue and the three of them followed him into the box.
Prince Dong pulled Qin Jue to sit aside to taste tea, and said in a low voice: "It is indeed wise for you to keep a certain distance at the moment, the eyes of the royal family are everywhere, if some important information has not been cut off by me over the years, I am afraid that his identity would have been exposed long ago." ”
Qin Jue nodded and smiled softly: "All this shouldn't last long, by the way, I heard that the emperor will also come to participate in this auction tonight, I don't know if this news is accurate?"
"Yes, he did come back, and now ...... I guess it's almost there......" Prince Higashi whispered.
"Actually, I'm very strange, this Imperial City Auction House originally belonged to the royal family, if there were any treasures, wouldn't the emperor pull them out in advance?
"Actually, you don't ask, I was going to tell you. Do you think that my royal family is just these forces in front of me? In fact, in addition to the emperor's accident, the biggest reliance of the royal family is an ancestor who has returned to the virtual realm, the territory of my Shaohao's country is far less vast than that of the ancient heavenly court, and the strength is far inferior to theirs, the reason why the two families can be safe and sound is precisely because of the ancestor's deterrence. The royal family has been inherited for thousands of years, and almost every thousand years, there will be an ancestor whose strength can be called the pinnacle of the continent, they usually don't care about the affairs of the country, but if it comes to life and death, they will do whatever it takes to protect the longevity of our royal family.
In fact, although the auction hall of the imperial city is nominally owned by the royal family, it is managed by the ancestor himself, so the treasures auctioned in it have no right to touch even the emperor, and the only way to bid here is to bid, and the auction hall will hold a grand ceremony every year, in which there will be some heavy weapons and treasures, which will be scrambled by all parties, but as long as the existence of the royal family is not threatened, the ancestor will not care.
In fact, Ji Xuanyi took advantage of this change, so he dared to launch a mutiny, which not only killed the emperor, but also left the only blood of the emperor out and disappeared completely. It's just that all this didn't cause much shock, so the ancestor never showed up from beginning to end. Just now...... I'm afraid you're going to have to take that into account as well. Prince Dong said in a deep voice, the reason why he told Qin Jue these secrets was that he didn't want them to be too impulsive and cause great trouble.
"That's ......" Qin Jue frowned, and his face was a little ugly.
At this moment, the whole venue suddenly resounded with cheerful music.
"His Majesty the Emperor has arrived at the ......" With a shout, everyone on the first floor knelt on the ground. On the second floor, many people walked from the room to the balcony and knelt down in front of the emperor's rest, even the Xiluo sisters.
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live...... everyone shouted in unison.
At this time, Qin Jue glanced at Prince Dong and said in a low voice, "Why don't you go out to have a look?"
"What am I going out for? I am the prince of the former emperor, and I am exempt from nominees in front of His Majesty, and I ride horses inside and outside the palace, so this little bit of false courtesy is still omitted!" Prince Dong chuckled.
Qin Jue raised his head and glanced out, the emperor was wearing a dragon robe and a crown, he was very noble, and there was indeed a woman wearing a phoenix crown on his head, Qin Jue could see clearly, this person was undoubtedly Qianlong Phantom Ji.
"This ...... Is that the concubine the emperor will marry?" he whispered, his face unconsciously gloomy to the bottom. He didn't have any out-of-the-ordinary thoughts about Chitaki Phantom Ji, but if she really became the imperial concubine, then Qin Jue would be a little unkind to the emperor again.
Prince Dong was sharp-eyed, and he could see Qin Jue's thoughts at a glance, and asked in a low voice: "What? Do you know this woman? It's a coincidence, after this woman was rescued by the emperor, she completely lost her memory, and only an iron-eating beast accompanied her, but I heard a few days ago that the emperor had promised that after they got married, he would release the iron-eating beast into the mountains and forests, but I don't know if this iron-eating beast followed." ”
Qin Jue nodded slightly, unconsciously hesitating in his heart. Looking at the intimacy of the two, he really didn't know what would happen when Chitaki Phantom Ji regained his memory?
sighed helplessly, and said in a deep voice: "Forget it, take a step and see a step, right?"
I saw the emperor downstairs waved his hand to everyone, and laughed: "Let's be even, I am here to have fun with you, today everyone competes fairly, you must not oppress people with power, bully others, the rules of the auction house are inherited for thousands of years, and it has always been the highest bidder, and no one can break this rule." Alright, you're all set, let's start the auction now. ”
Surrounded by a group of maids, the emperor was ushered into the most luxurious private room, and soon the auction began with three bells.
The first treasure of the auction is a night pearl as big as the mouth of a bowl, in order to show the luster of the night pearl, the auction hall also deliberately extinguished all the lights, and the ghostly light is projected like a round of moon shining on the night, which is very magical.
To everyone's surprise, this night pearl was not auctioned publicly, but just displayed it, and it was directly given to the imperial concubine as a congratulatory gift to wish the emperor's wedding in advance.
This is really a surprise to many people, and the auction house is undoubtedly full of courtesy to the emperor. However, no one complained about it, and the auction soon continued.
I saw a maid pushing a platform to the stage, and on it was a crystal jade bottle.
"A few days ago, everyone must have gotten the news, Guangjitang came to a Dan Dao Grandmaster, these days there are a lot of excellent pills on sale, there must be many people have tried it, the effect is impeccable, of course, the next auction of the pill is also from the hands of Guangjitang, it is the highest level of the Dan Dao Grandmaster refining the pill, called the Great Nirvana Pill, only this one, there is this Dan is equal to one more chance to rush through, whether you want to break through the Yuan Dan Realm, or you want to break through the Yuan Infant Period, if you fail, as long as you take this pill, you can repair the damaged Jin Dan and the divine soul, be reborn in Nirvana, and then break through, now on this stage is the only Great Nirvana Pill, with a starting price of 10 million gold coins. Each time the price is increased by one million, the bidding begins......" As soon as her words fell, someone immediately shouted the bid.
"I'll give 10 million!"
"Fifteen million ......"
"20 Million ......"
……
The price is still rising, it is true that this Great Nirvana Pill is Qin Jue's last refining, and it is also what Prince Dong wants to go from Qin Jue this morning, one of the main medicines is Phoenix Essence Blood, this flavor medicine is extremely rare, it is with the help of it that there is a trace of Nirvana power in this elixir, but it is not too difficult for Qin Jue, he has Nirvana True Fire on his body, and he only needs to extradite a trace of flame essence in the pill, and it can be refined, but refining too much will indeed deplete the origin of Nirvana True Fire, and it will take a long time to repair, so Qin Jue only refined eight later, but he didn't expect to be taken away by Prince Dong, I actually got it here for auction.
"How about it? I can't think of it, Brother Qin, after tonight, the price of the thousand pills in our hands will inevitably rise, you kid just wait to count the money!" Prince Dong laughed, full of joy.
Qin Jue glanced at him with disgust and scolded, "You really have a way......
The Great Nirvana Pill was coaxed and robbed, and the price was directly called 80 million, but this seems to have reached a critical level, and there are only three or four bidders at the moment.
"According to the current trend, this elixir should be able to break 100 million. Ji Mingyan on the side said with a smile, she was still full of joy, the higher the price, the lower the income, and the fame of Guangjitang could also be completely beaten, which was the most beneficial for them.
"I'll give 100 million gold coins!" suddenly a shout rang out, and the audience fell silent.
It's not because of the price, but it's the box where the emperor is bidding. Sure enough, as soon as this price came out, no one followed the bidding.
"Grandma's, I was inserted by this guy, otherwise, I think I can sell at least tens of millions more. Wang Peng on the side complained, with a little anger on his face.
"That's not bad, a pill can be sold for 100 million gold coins, which has never appeared in this history, it's enough. Ji Mingyan persuaded in a low voice.
The host glanced at the audience, and saw that no one was finally shouting, and the hammer in his hand was banging.
"Congratulations to Your Majesty the Emperor, harvest this Great Nirvana Pill, and someone will send the pill to Your Majesty. ”
Sure enough, a maid took the jade bottle away and walked upstairs.
The auction continued, and then another booth was pushed up, and it turned out to be a huge cage, but it was covered by a red cloth, and it was impossible to see what was inside.
"This treasure has long been extinct, it can be said that it is the only one left in the world, once upon a time it also followed the ancient ancestors to fight, and is known as the mount second only to the divine beast, let me reveal it below. The host chuckled and stepped forward to tear the red cloth open.
"It's ...... Iron Eater Beast ......" Seeing the scene in front of him, Qin Jue's face suddenly became very cold, he didn't expect that this second auction was actually the Iron Eater Beast, he didn't need to think about it to know that this was the one he brought out from the ruins of the Three Emperors, but he never thought that it would be auctioned by the royal family.
"Huh...... , It seems that Chitaki Phantom Hime, this little girl, is also ruthless enough, and even took out all your iron-eating beasts for auction. Qin Zulong on the side also snorted coldly, and his face seemed to be a little gloomy.
Hearing his words, everyone knew that this iron-eating beast was actually Qin Jue's, and Prince Dong was also slightly stunned, and said in a low voice: "I didn't expect that there was such a deep origin, there was originally news that it would be released, it seems that they have changed their minds......"
"Everyone has seen that this iron-eating beast is the only one left on the continent today, although it has already degenerated, and its combat power is not very good, but it still looks very cute, and it is very suitable to be used as a pet, and the auction will start now, with a starting price of 30 million gold coins. ”
As soon as his words fell, the audience fell silent, 30 million to buy a pet, this is a bit nonsense. However, there are still sharp-eyed people, especially the ministers on the second floor, who know the origin of this iron-eating beast, and in the spirit of selling the royal family's face, they really started bidding.
"Our Yang family is willing to give 50 million gold coins!"
"Our Zhou family is willing to pay 60 million!"
"The Hua family is sixty-five million!"
"The Situ family is 70 million!"
……
Qin Jue's face became more and more ugly, he glanced at Wang Peng, only to see him stand up directly and shout out the window: "We will pay 100 million to buy this iron-eating beast." ”
As soon as the voice came out, the audience was indeed much quieter.
Finally, no one was asking for a price anymore, and Qin Jue's heart was much more settled.
Prince Dong glanced at him and smiled slightly: "If it weren't for the face of this king, I am afraid that this price will be pushed higher by them, I bet that Ji Xuanyi must be overjoyed now, thinking that this king is selling his face." ”
Qin Jue glanced at him, but still arched his hand, and chuckled: "The way of heaven is good reincarnation, who does the sky bypass, where is this?" ”
The hammer in the host's hand rang directly, and this iron-eating beast was finally pocketed by Qin Jue.
At this time, Wang Peng shouted to the bottom again: "Help the Iron Eater Beast send it up, we will take it ourselves." ”
The host nodded, and five or six guards came down from below, carrying the giant panda upstairs.
Soon, the third piece of the booth was pushed up, but it was placed in a crystal bottle. It wasn't until he pushed to the center of the venue that Qin Jue finally saw what was inside, he stood up directly, full of ecstasy, and shouted to Wang Peng on the side: "This thing, I have to take it at all costs." ”
"Isn't it just a crystal bottle? It's worth your attention, boss?" was suspicious, only listening to the host in the audience introduce loudly.
"The next lot is amazing, it is a two-life flower that is said to bloom in the realm of life and death......"
