Chapter 29: The Auction
The auction was held on time. It is located in one of the largest exchanges in the 5th arrondissement. This exchange is the family property of one of the largest nobles in Anduma, and the relationship between this great nobleman and the governor Amor is brother-in-law and brother-in-law. Therefore, this auction is completely in the hands of the Duwei Mansion.
There are a lot of people coming to the auction, there are thousands of people, but there are not many who are really qualified to enter. Because in addition to money, there is also an important consideration for those who can enter, that is, whether they have Dongzhu in their hands. Although this auction is not only about nine-leaf ginseng, there are other things that can be bought with money. But everyone's main purpose is the nine-leaf ginseng, so everything is based on the nine-leaf ginseng, and it is impossible for people without Dongzhu to have the qualifications to enter.
The hall of the exchange has been temporarily transformed into an auction hall, and everyone has a separate compartment, which still looks very private on the surface, but everyone knows that the thin board can't stop anything at all, and who can come here is not a master, and it is impossible to use these thin boards to block the detection of these masters.
Due to the space limitations, there are only three hundred and seven compartments in total, so there are only three hundred and seven people who can actually enter. If you want to get the qualification to enter, you have to show the Dongzhu in your hand to the specially invited appraiser in a private room, and then you will have the qualification to enter.
Of course, there is a first-come, first-served position, and even if you come late, you can't get in even if you have Dongzhu.
But in fact, don't worry about being full, because there are not many real best East Pearls, in fact, this auction can get more than 100 Best East Pearls, don't forget that this is the depths of the desert, not all people who hold the best East Pearls can come.
In the end, only ninety-eight people actually entered the field.
Tang Dou turned into a chubby, kind-looking businessman, holding a fist-sized Dongzhu and gaining the right to enter, generally speaking, a fist-sized Dongzhu is already quite a good thing. If it weren't for this special environment, this thing would definitely sell for a sky-high price.
But at this time, this fist-sized Dongzhu can only be regarded as the best in the name. It's still some distance from the top. It is said that there has been a baby-sized pearl in the size of a baby's head, and God knows how such a big pearl grows?
Of course, the value of Dongzhu is not entirely based on the size, and some Dongzhu will have special brilliance. For example, the colorful East Pearl, this kind of East Pearl has always been small, but it will naturally exude colorful light, very charming, this kind of East Pearl is much more valuable than just a stupid and long East Pearl.
And Edward, what they prepared this time was a fist-sized seven-colored top-grade Dongzhu. Its value is definitely one of the best. So Edward was still very sure to change to Jiuye Tianshen, but unfortunately now Dongzhu was taken away by Thomas, and Edward was a waste of water.
Tang Dou's Dongzhu was copied by him with copying, and he chose the Dongzhu in the hands of a merchant in the two positions in front of him, because it was almost exactly the same as that, the appraiser was stunned for a moment, thinking that Tang Dou and the businessman in front of him were in a group, and he fooled him with a Dongzhu. The result, of course, proved that these were two East Pearls. This made the appraiser sigh, saying that if these two Dongzhu were produced by the same Dongzhu Berry, it would be worth a lot of money.
Something like Dongzhu. Just like ordinary jewelry, they have to be special, they have to be held by someone to have value, and if no one needs them, their value is zero. This is a completely different matter from those gems related to cultivation and fighting.
Tang Dou was also relieved after entering the auction hall. He really didn't expect that Dongzhu looked the same in his eyes, and the appraiser could actually see the clues, but then he thought about whether he also had such an eye when he appraised antiques, so he was relieved.
Tang Dou's position is in the third compartment from the left in the third row. There was only a chair and an offer sign in the compartment - the kind of bidding that is rarely seen in formal auctions, and they are all holding signs. Anyway, unless it is the kind of situation that is inevitable, the bigwigs who participate in the auction have patience and slow grinding.
In fact, this is also an unspoken rule of the auction, if people directly shout, it is very likely that the first person to bid will directly open a high price to scare others away.
Actually, it's the kind that is common in it. It's almost impossible to see things like shouting the price and then saying something like "everyone give face, I want this thing". Whoever says this, who just doesn't give face to the auction venue, they have to use this set, how can the auction venue make money?
You must know that there is the ability to hold an auction. But they are not simple people, and ordinary forces and individuals will not be willing to offend them. What's more, if you offend them, if there are good things in the future, people may not notify you. That's not more to lose.
Tang Dou sat for a while, and the auction began, and the auctioneer was a person who seemed to be very shrewd. It was a foreign deacon of the big nobleman, who was eloquent, but he was beaten for half an hour just by saying something in the front court, and no one had beaten him yet.
However, half an hour had already reached its limit, and the auctioneer immediately asked people to serve various lots.
Because these lots are for the nine-leaf ginseng paving, they are all good things, and interestingly, the medicinal herbs also account for half of them. Because the last thing Jiuye Tianshen looked at was whose Dongzhu was of high value, and it had nothing to do with money, so these things were also auctioned very hotly, especially one of the bottles of ten Qiling Pills was auctioned for the price of three amethyst coins.
Three Amethyst coins are three million gold coins, which is not a small amount.
Tang Dou, an old man, really didn't know what the pill did, so he was going to go back and ask Sha Yunyue.
The auction was held in a warm atmosphere for more than 40 minutes, and finally all the things in the shop were auctioned off, and none of them were unsold, and the most critical moment came.
"Please be quiet!" The auctioneer tapped the hammer lightly, then chuckled, "I guess everyone can't wait as much as I do." The real protagonist of our auction is about to come to the market. I don't think I need to say anything more about this thing, because I'm afraid that if I waste any more time, the adults won't let me go. ”
Everyone laughed for face.
"First of all, thank you for coming to this auction, the first half of the auction was very successful, so I hope this final finale will be just as exciting!" The auctioneer wiped the sweat from his head.
He is a silver-level soul cultivator, and more than two-thirds of the people present are masters above the gold level five, and the platinum-level powerhouses can also count more than a dozen, even if these people don't deliberately target him, but just look at him intently, it gives him a lot of pressure. This means that he has enough confidence to change to another silver level, and he may faint not long after he comes to power.
"Alright, I'm not going to waste any more of your adults' time." The auctioneer clapped his hands, and immediately two maids served a plate.
There was a one-foot-tall thing on the plate, but it was covered by a yellow cloth, so I couldn't tell what it was, but everyone knew that it was a container covered with nine-leaf ginseng.
After the plate was put down, the auctioneer did not immediately lift the yellow cloth, but said: "According to the owner's new requirements, this nine-leaf ginseng not only needs to be exchanged for the best Dongzhu, but also needs to add another 100 million gold coins, so I hope you can understand!" ”
As soon as these words came out, the people below all made a dissatisfied voice, after all, this rule was only said at this time, and the previous auction items also cost many people a lot of money, and now everyone began to suspect that the auction house deliberately cheated them like this. However, they didn't show it too obviously, on the one hand, they were giving face to Duwei Mansion, on the other hand, to be honest, they were somewhat prepared at the beginning, after all, even the best Dongzhu was not as valuable as a leaf of Nine-Leaf Heavenly Ginseng.
"Since you have agreed, let's talk about the auction now!" The auctioneer wiped a cold sweat again, and then said: "First of all, the Dongzhu of your adults has already been appraised by a special appraiser when you come in, and there is no doubt about the qualification and fairness of these appraisals, this is guaranteed by the Duwei Mansion, so please rest assured!" Secondly, after the appraisal, the Dongzhu in the hands of all the adults has an evaluation number. At present, according to the results of our appraiser's appraisal, 20 of the 98 adults present have a value of more than 70! ”
The auctioneer paused for a moment, waited for everyone to digest what he said a little, and then continued: "Your adults should also know who the Nine Leaf Heavenly Ginseng will fall on this time, in fact, it is not me who has the final say, nor is it the Duwei Mansion that has the final say, but the owner has the final say, after the owner got the appraisal results of our appraiser, he has already said that he will only trade with adults with more than seventy values." So, adults under 70, I'm sorry for the little ones! ”
There was another commotion below.
Of the ninety-eight people, only twenty people have the qualifications for the final auction, and the remaining seventy-eight people are only the onlookers, of course they are dissatisfied, but there is no way to be dissatisfied, whoever dares to blow up now, that is the enemy of everyone. Even a platinum powerhouse can be besieged to death, so although he was a little dissatisfied, he quickly quieted down.
"Okay, please have more than seventy values of the adults to prepare, your value itself is also the identity of the East Pearl you have, when the auction starts in a while, please report your own value first, and then the owner will make a primary selection, if the owner chooses which adult's East Pearl, please put the East Pearl on the stage to display. If the owner decides to make a deal, then make a decision on the spot, but if there is no agreement, then continue to choose until the deal is closed! ”
"Of course, you adults also understand that the values of these twenty adults are actually about the same, so it depends on the owner which one of them will be chosen!" After the auction finished talking about the detailed rules, it finally opened the yellow cloth on the container of nine-leaf ginseng.
"Now, my lords, please take a look at this nine-leaf ginseng!" (To be continued.) )
