"Haoran, where do you see these people flocking to, is the auction that Brother Ye said is about to start?" Li Mengyao tilted her head and asked.

"Well, it should be, and now that I think about it, it's almost time. ”

At this moment, the phone in Xia Haoran's pocket rang. The call was from Ye Shanhe, Xia Haoran smiled slightly, it was almost time.

After the round with Ye Shanhe, the three of them also followed the crowd and walked towards the depths of the venue.

As far as the eye can see, there is a magnificent scene, behind a wide arched door, is a huge auction hall with many figures.

On both sides of the door, there were eight big men dressed in black. Two rows of long tables and two teams are moving forward in an orderly manner.

Xia Haoran's consciousness swept away, and then a strange look appeared on his face, touched his nose, and asked, "Brother Ye, I seem to be collecting tickets?"

"Ten thousand dollars per person. Ye Shanhe smiled slightly and said, "This is the rule, every time it is like this." ”

Xia Haoran couldn't help but be speechless when he heard this, and then blurted out: "This organizer is simply too good at doing business, 10,000 per person, I look at the surging flow of people, not 10,000, but thousands, right?"

"yes. These hateful capitalists are all vampires!" Ye Shanhe couldn't help but complain: "However, everyone who can come here is a person with a certain identity and status, so few people care about such a small amount of money." But this amount adds up, and this amount is also a very large amount. ”

Xia Haoran deeply agreed with what Ye Shanhe said.

However, at this moment, Li Mengyao beside her was about to be taken aback, she covered her mouth with her little hand in surprise, and said: "Oh my God! So, these people have hundreds of millions of yuan just for tickets......

After entering the venue, the three of them found their seats and sat down according to the brand position. The three positions are exactly tightly connected. When he saw the layout of the venue clearly, Xia Haoran couldn't help but be shocked again.

Fully modern office equipment, auction hardware, multi-functional electronic screens and bidding seats for thousands of people. On the rostrum, there are auction seats, auction guide seats, record seats and supervision seats.

In the center of the auction hall, a standard projector and several ultra-high-definition cameras are installed directly at the auctioneer and the rostrum, so that every move on the auction table can be clearly displayed on each electronic screen through the multi-function projector, so as to ensure that all bidders can clearly and meticulously see the auction items in front of them.

Xia Haoran glanced at the small bidder in front of him, so that he only needed to see what he needed and enter the price, because of the Internet, the bidding information will be accurately displayed on the major projection screens at the same time, and there is no need for bidders to raise a sign to shout the price, one is to protect the bidder's personal information, and the other can better maintain the environment and relative silence of the auction hall.

Xia Haoran swept the people who entered the auction hall with his divine sense, and he found that many of them were wearing black masks or hoods. It seems that although this is a black market, it is inevitable that there is a possibility that good things will be settled after the autumn is settled.

It's a good idea to take precautions. However, under Xia Haoran's divine sense, all the concealment and concealment of these people are in vain.

Among the people in the hall, the highest cultivation level is the ground level, and most of them are yellow and Xuan level. For the existence of a late-stage cultivation like Ye Shanhe, Xia Haoran found a few people, but there were not many. And the monks of the Heavenly Rank and above, he didn't find any of them.

"Alas......"

Xia Haoran couldn't help but sigh in his heart, now in the era of the end of the law, the aura of heaven and earth on the earth is thin, which has led to the withering of the cultivation inheritance to such a field, which is really sad, and it is also a sigh!

A quarter to nine.

In front of the auction table in the center of the hall, a delicate beauty stood at some point.

Graceful and luxurious, mature and plump!

Qin Lulu nodded to the row of girls with lovely faces holding trays behind her, then picked up the microphone on the auction table, looked around slightly, and said in a crisp voice: "I, Qin Lulu, have been invited to be the host of today's auction." The underground auction in Beijing is held once a year, and many treasures are unearthed each time. On behalf of the organizers, I would like to thank the many guests who participated in this auction and welcome you to participate in the 168th Beijing Underground Auction in your busy schedule. Time is very precious, so I won't say anything superfluous, and I hope you can all buy the items you like at this auction. Now I announce that the 168th Beijing Underground Auction will begin now!"

Xia Haoran secretly bowed his head, this woman named Qin Lulu is good, she is a talent! You must know that the success of an auction is directly related to the auctioneer.

Like this kind of charming young woman, it is as attractive as a ripe peach, if the mouth can say something again, can fully incite the passion of everyone on the scene, then the following patters will definitely have to pay a lot of money.

And this Qin Lulu obviously has the above points.

Qin Lulu's words interrupted Xia Haoran's contemplation.

"The first auction item," Qin Lulu opened the box held by the first girl, and the box contained a jade wrench, which was emerald green in color and extremely transparent.

"This is a jade wrench left over from the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty. The inner wall is engraved with the words "Aixin Jueluo - Yongqi" in Manchu text, according to the identification, the material of the jade wrench finger is the glass imperial green jadeite, which is the jade paid tribute by the small affiliated countries during the Qianlong period, and is polished by the craftsmen in the palace, and then given to the fifth elder brother Aixin Jueluo - Yongqi. It was the beloved of Yongqi, the fifth son of Emperor Qianlong. Now the starting price is 1 million, and each increase must not be less than 100,000. ”

"One million and one million!"

"One million and two million!"

"Two million!"

……

Looking at the information scrolling on the big screen, the bid soon jumped to 20 million.

"Twenty million, once, is there any price increase? This is Aixin Jueluo-Yongqi's thing, and it is a gift from Emperor Qianlong, glass imperial green jadeite, the highest quality of jadeite, how much can this thing be worth? It is said that a glass imperial green ring face is millions, this jade wrench is much more than the ring face, and it is an antique, but it is extremely rare. Is there any bidding?" Qin Lulu tried her best to incite the people below to increase the price, but unfortunately no one here is a fool, you must know that buying things on the black market, who would be stupid to pay too high a price?

In the end, the jade wrench was auctioned off for 28 million.

The first lot sold for 28 million yuan, which is considered to be the first prize.

This is also the practice of many auction houses. Throw out a sweetness first, activate popularity, detonate the audience, and fully mobilize people's enthusiasm, then the follow-up auction work will be much smoother.

Looking at the hot scene, Xia Haoran smiled slightly, but he was not interested, he ignored it and closed his eyes silently. And Li Mengyao and Ye Shanhe, who were sitting next to them, stared at the screen with great interest, especially Li Mengyao, who came to this kind of occasion for the first time, and saw that those auctions were all in the tens of thousands, often in the millions of numbers, and his heart was really shocked.

However, Xia Haoran didn't comfort her anything, this was a mood level that belonged to her. Moreover, only when she steps over this hurdle can she completely throw away the burden of the past, completely release herself, and get a new life!

"The second auction item," Qin Lulu gently opened the red cloth on the tray in the second girl's hand, and said, "This is an unknown piece of ore, and its only known characteristic is that it is extremely hard. So far, no one knows how to break it and calcinate it, and now the starting price is 100,000 yuan, and each increase must not be less than 10,000 yuan. ”

When he saw this piece of ore, the corners of Xia Haoran's mouth twitched fiercely, Nima! This is Xingchen Steel, which is an extremely famous refining material in the cultivation realm. If this thing is melted by a mere fire, then it's hell!

Xia Haoran waited for a while, and saw that no one had raised the price, so he reached out and lost 100,000 on the offerer.

"Huh, Brother Haoran, do you recognize this ore?" Ye Shanhe couldn't help but ask in a low voice when he saw Xia Haoran bidding.

Xia Haoran smiled slightly and said: "Hehe, Brother Ye should know, I'm just interested in those herbs and some strange ores, so when I saw that I was happy, I bought it and played with it." ”

It was naturally impossible for him to tell Ye Shanhe the truth, after all, as a cultivator, this was the biggest secret in his life, and if he said it, it would cause some unnecessary trouble. It's better to still pretend to be an ancient warrior, but it won't attract people's attention too much.

In the end, this ore was easily won by Xia Haoran for 580,000.

The auction continued, and Xia Haoran made a few more shots halfway through, auctioning a few fairly good herbs and an ore, and then never made another move. And Ye Shanhe next to him didn't bid from beginning to end, and sat there with the appearance of an old god.

"It seems that Brother Ye is purely accompanying himself on a trip this time, let's find an opportunity to give him some benefits in the future. Xia Haoran thought to himself.

"Yaoyao, how do you feel now?" Xia Haoran could feel that Li Mengyao had almost adjusted now, and the expression on her face had returned to normal, so she smiled slightly and asked out loud.

"Mmmm, much better. Haoran, thank you. Li Mengyao hugged Xia Haoran's arm and said sweetly.

Just when Xia Haoran was about to speak, Qin Lulu on the stage didn't know how many items she had photographed, but when she pulled open the red cloth on the tray in the girl's hand at the moment, Xia Haoran was suddenly shocked, and the whole person immediately became excited!

"Is there something strange about this auction item?"

Xia Haoran motioned to Li Mengyao not to speak yet, so he released more divine consciousness and rushed towards the inside of the brocade box. Inside the box, there is a pinball-sized bead, which is pitch black and extremely smooth, but there are mysterious secret patterns on it, giving people a sense of vicissitudes, simplicity and profundity.
