[Chapter 0057] Auction

Under the guidance of the crew, Ge Tao entered the auction hall, which was obviously much quieter than the small theater next door where the demons danced, as if it was another world.

A white glove was on stage to introduce an imperial plum vase from the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty in China, which caused many guests to rush and the auction price continued to rise.

In recent years, with the continuous development of the Chinese economy, domestic tyrants have emerged in an endless stream, and the price of Chinese artworks in the international art market has also risen, becoming the best way for many European and American cultural relics dealers and collectors to make money.

At that time, European and American robbers snatched millions of precious cultural relics from China, but now the Chinese people need to buy back these artistic treasures from the descendants of the robbers at a high price, which can not but be said to be a kind of sadness, a kind of shame!

Throughout the historical development of the past two hundred years, the hard fist is the true truth, and this point is also quite applicable in the cultivation realm.

If it weren't for Ge Tao showing such a hand at the gate of 'Qinglanfang City', I'm afraid that many forces would have swarmed up and tore Ge Tao to pieces!

As soon as he thought of this, the sense of urgency in Ge Tao's heart increased a little more, and improving his cultivation had become his most important task, at least to the 'late stage of Qi training', so that the safety of him and the Ge family in the cultivation realm could be guaranteed to a certain extent.

…………

Ge Tao sat in the audience, watching the white gloves like flowing water to introduce Chinese porcelain, calligraphy and painting, Western oil paintings, knight armor, etc. to the guests, but he had no idea of bidding.

This is also very normal, ordinary works of art have long been not the goal pursued by Ge Tao, he has long passed the stage of using artworks to decorate the home and improve his taste, and now he is only interested in those cultivation items that can improve the realm and strength.

"This is an ancient sword found in the archaeological process, according to the inspection of carbon 14, it has a history of more than 2,000 years, and it is the best carrier to study the history of ancient metallurgy!" At the end of the auction, the white glove introduced an ancient sword to the guests on the scene, and said it very well, but when the ancient sword itself appeared on the big screen, everyone was disappointed.

This sword is about 80 centimeters, and it is covered in rust, which makes people feel that the rust is even about to corrode the ancient sword into pieces, and it looks like it will shatter at any time.

For antiques and works of art, age is not the only valuation element, but the condition, artistic value and historical value of the collection are all important references.

Like this ancient sword, it is not a famous sword with a surname in history, and the quality is poor, although it has a history of two thousand years, not many people are interested.

"Huh?!" Feeling the faint aura fluctuations emanating from the ancient sword, Ge Tao suddenly became interested!

In the current earth cultivation realm, not to mention spiritual weapons, magic weapons, and even legendary spiritual treasures, even magic weapons are extremely rare, which is closely related to the extreme rarity of heavenly and earthly treasures for refining magic weapons.

In ancient times, there were also powerful monks who could obtain all kinds of heavenly materials and earth treasures from the Ten Thousand Depths of the Sea, the lava magma, or the cold ice world, but with the decline of the earth's cultivation realm, the monks could only sigh!

Now, in addition to some big families who are still guarding the magic weapons and spiritual weapons left by their ancestors, the magic weapons in the hands of small sects and loose cultivators are pitiful, which also makes the current monks extremely lacking in means of struggle, at most they are just issuing spells and using talismans.

Now that he found an ancient sword that was suspected to be a magic weapon, Ge Tao suddenly became interested, and his divine sense spread out like flowing water, covering the mottled ancient sword in the glass cover.

Seeing this, Ge Tao was suddenly happy!

This is a sword of mother and child, the ancient sword on the outside is made of ordinary materials, so it can't withstand the corrosion of the years and has become what it is now, but inside is a small sword with cold light, and Ge Tao's divine sense can even feel the chill.

It seems that this ancient sword still has a bizarre story, and it will be made into a hidden sword, just because of the cold air on the small sword, Ge Tao decided to shoot the small sword.

"The starting price of this ancient sword from more than 2,000 years ago in China is 10,000 US dollars, and each bid is not less than 1,000 US dollars, and the bidding is now open!" White Glove introduced this ancient sword to the guests on the stage, making people feel that if they take this ancient sword home, they will have thousands of years of heritage.

In fact, the auction house is not very optimistic about this ancient sword, and with a reserve price of only 10,000 US dollars, it can be seen that the attitude of the auction house is just a tie-in, and it is better than nothing.

The guests at the scene were all talking to each other, not taking this lot to heart at all, and they all wanted to let this lot end as soon as possible, so that the auction could continue.

Seeing this situation, Ge Tao was naturally secretly happy, no one followed the competition, and he could quietly take this ancient sword into his pocket and carefully study the small sword inside.

'Eleven thousand dollars!' Just as Ge Tao was about to raise his card, someone in the guest seat opposite Ge Tao raised a sign, which immediately made Ge Tao vigilant.

'Twelve thousand dollars!' Ge Tao was not sure whether the other party was a childcare from the auction house or a real buyer, so he raised his sign before squinting his eyes.

An old man in a Tang shirt and a short coat and two strong men, no matter how you look at it, this combination will not make people feel like a spring breeze, and when they saw Ge Tao bidding, they also turned their eyes.

When Yu Hong heard someone bidding, he was very worried that it was someone who knew the goods, and when he turned his head, he turned his head and saw that it was a young man, and there was no spiritual power fluctuation on his body, it seemed that it should be out of curiosity.

This couldn't help but make Yu Hong breathe a sigh of relief, this time he also discovered this ancient sword by chance, and followed the 'Ocean and Yue' to participate in the auction. It is not easy for monks in these years, the power of the governments of the world is too strong, and monks with low cultivation and little power can only be people with their tails between their legs, even if they see good things, they don't even have the courage to take them by force.

Ge Tao found that the eyes of the old man Yin Gu flashed, obviously his cultivation was not low, and the two entourages had green tendons on their hands, and it seemed that they had practiced hard skills such as eagle claw skills or iron sand palms!

It seems that the other party saw the true content of this ancient sword, so he took the shot!

However, Ge Tao naturally will not give up when the matter comes, and after the other party bids again, he bids again, which is bound to win!

As a result, Ge Tao and Yu Hong became the only two competitors on the field, and the bids of both sides continued to rise, and soon exceeded $50,000, leaving the guests on the scene dumbfounded!

When the boss behind the auction saw this scene, he immediately regretted it, could it be that this ancient sword still has some secrets?

However, it is too late to withdraw the filming now, but if the childcare is dispatched, I am worried that these two groups of VIPs are the childcare of the client, which is quite difficult to ride.

As the bidding between the two sides became higher and higher, the atmosphere on the scene became extremely delicate, and everyone saw the tense situation of Ge Tao and Yu Hong!
