Chapter 47: The Auction
As the auction hall was filled with people one after another.
The auction is finally about to begin.
I saw an old man dressed in a cyan wide-sleeved robe, with steady steps, slowly walked up to the stage, pressed his hands slightly, and said humbly: "Everyone be quiet, first of all, welcome to the monthly Ziyun auction, the old man is the host of this auction, I know why everyone came today, I won't say much about the rules of the auction, everyone should already be familiar with it, now on, let's take a look at the first auction item!"
After speaking, a maid moved lightly and slowly served a white jade porcelain plate, with three delicate jade bottles on the plate.
"The three-grade broken mirror pill produced by the neighboring Jindan Sect, I believe that many people already know the preciousness of the Kaiyuan fruit in our kingdom, and this pill has the same effect as the Kaiyuan fruit, although the effect is slightly weaker than the real ripening Kaiyuan fruit, but after this pill is eaten, the biggest effect is that it can improve the success rate of the cave mirror to the heart mirror by nearly sixty percent. I believe you already understand the value of this elixir!" The old man paused, and then said, "There are three in this auction, each with a minimum price of 100,000 taels of silver! Now auction the first one!"
"The real Kaiyuan fruit only ripens once in five years, and in order to ensure the medicinal power of the fruit, there are only ten of them each time, and I can't get the Kaiyuan fruit, but I am bound to get this Broken Mirror Pill! 150,000!" said a middle-aged man who was already middle-aged, but was obviously still hovering on the tenth layer of the Cave Mirror, with an excited face.
"Two hundred thousand taels, it just so happens that my youngest son will reach the tenth floor of the Dongming Mirror in a few days, such a good pill must be taken down for him as a father!" another bearded man laughed, glanced at the children who followed him, and said dotingly.
"Two hundred and twenty thousand, it is my long-cherished wish to break through to the Heart Sealing Mirror, I must take it!" said the former middle-aged man with a red face.
"Such a big person is only ten layers of the mirror, so don't shamelessly compete with the juniors! Two hundred and fifty thousand!" The long-bearded man glanced at the middle-aged man contemptuously and said in a squeezing voice!
"Hmph, I'm just stuck on the tenth floor of this cave mirror, as long as I get through this difficulty, I believe I will be able to become a late bloomer!260,000!" The middle-aged man yelled unconvinced.
"300,000, I want this pill from my Zhao family, and I hope you will give me a certain face for Zhao!" A young man with a white face who looked like a scholar stood up and said with a smile.
"It turned out to be Zhao Qingyun, the eldest young master of the Zhao family! How can this be contested!" The people below who still wanted to bid sighed and whispered after seeing the person who stood up.
As one of the four major families in the kingdom, the Zhao family's strength ranks second among the four major families, and most people will give him a face if it is not a special matter.
Sure enough, after Zhao Gongzi finished speaking, the venue quieted down, and the first middle-aged man who was bound to win was also gritting his teeth at this time, sighing helplessly and sitting down.
"This boy bid 300,000 taels, is there anyone higher?" The auctioneer glanced at the venue lightly, and continued with a little disappointment after finding that there was no more bidding. "300,000 taels, once, 300,000 taels twice, congratulations, this pill belongs to you!
After the item is auctioned in the Ziyun Auction House, an attendant will immediately come forward from the backstage and hand over the item to the auctioneer, and the money will be settled on the spot by the way, on the one hand, it can allow people who are in a hurry to do other things to get the item he auctioned immediately, instead of waiting until the auction is over to pick it up. On the other hand, it is also to prevent people from inflating prices but not being able to pay for them. If this is the case, the auction can continue to be conducted. Prevent the occurrence of unsuccessful auctions.
Fang Yuan's heart was hot in the VIP room, the people on the scene really didn't take money, just a third-grade pill could be auctioned for a high price of 300,000, if he Fang Yuan took out his ripe Kaiyuan fruit, it wouldn't be easy to win 6 or 700,000!
"Okay, now auction the second one, the same starting price is 100,000 taels, and each increase in price must not be less than 10,000 taels!" The old man took out a jade bottle from the jade plate again and placed it on the auction table.
The middle-aged man who had sat down just now stood up in a hurry and shouted, "300,000! Please don't fight with me!"
"Who do you think you are? Three hundred and one thousand!" shouted the bearded man again!
"You, three hundred and twenty thousand!" the middle-aged man said angrily as if he wanted to remember his appearance.
"Three hundred and thirty thousand!" the bearded man shouted flatly, as if he was going to fight the middle-aged man to the end.
"Three hundred and fifty thousand!" the middle-aged man suddenly raised the price by another twenty thousand, and shouted hoarsely.
The bearded man raised his eyebrows, although he could still accept this price, but he had other things to auction later, it was inconvenient to spend too much money in front at this time, and he shouted a little unhappily at this time: "Three hundred and sixty thousand!"
The middle-aged man glanced at the pill on the stage with a desperate look on his face, and sat down unwillingly. Obviously, 350,000 is his limit!
"Hmph, poor ghosts don't come here to bid!" the bearded man snorted coldly and sat down.
"This warrior bid 350,000 yuan, is there any bidding.....
"Wait, 400,000, it just so happens that the son of a military general in my martial arts mansion needs it, and I ask you to cut your love. Suddenly, a rough voice came from the VIP room next to Fang Yuan.
"It turned out to be Wuwang Wuhan Qing, but I didn't expect him to come today. The people in the hall exclaimed in a low voice......
Fang Yuan, who was originally drowsy in the box, also woke up at this time when he heard the discussion, speaking of which, although Fang Yuan had never been masked with this person, it did not affect Fang Yuan's gratitude to him, if he hadn't shot the wings of the Sky Eagle Eagle with a spear, maybe the current Fang Yuan would have already become the nourishment of the Sky Eagle Eagle now.
"King Wu bid 400,000 yuan, is there anyone else bidding!" The old man at the auction secretly breathed a sigh of relief, although he was won by fame, but the price of 400,000 yuan was not a loss, he could still accept it, compared to other auction items, this kind of Broken Mirror Pill was one of the few things they took out for auction in the auction behavior, and they bought 320,000 yuan for this kind of pill themselves, and he was disappointed when he saw that the first one was only sold for 300,000.
The first is to make the auction house famous, and the second is to generate income for the auction house by the way, which is also a means of geographical difference for the Ziyun Auction House, which covers the entire Northern Xinjiang Alliance.
