Chapter Forty-Seven: The Roc Bird
Hearing that the old man's estimate for the night pearl was three million taels, Zhou Hao secretly breathed a sigh of relief and sat back in his place calmly.
Gongsun Fu stroked the white beard and looked at Zhou Hao with a smile: "I don't want to be a real person who doesn't show his image, but he also has a heavy treasure." β
Zhou Hao shook his head and said: "That night pearl may be a rare plaything for the rich family, which is used to decorate the faΓ§ade and show off the net worth. But for cultivators like juniors, the practical value is not high. It's better to change a few spirit grasses and break through to the top martial arts as soon as possible. β
Gongsun Fu nodded and said: "Xiaoyou is right! All glory and wealth are false, only one's own cultivation and strength are the most true and reliable." β
Zhou Hao grinned slightly and did not speak again.
A moment later, several more spirit grasses were auctioned. Zhou Hao had a base of three million taels, and his confidence was much more sufficient, and he spent another two million and three thousand taels to buy two green jade fruits, a manna grass and three five-color lotus seeds.
Two million taels of two million taels plus the eight hundred thousand taels that had to be returned to Gongsun Fu were spent before they could be beaten! Even the two hundred and twenty thousand taels of silver in his pocket were spent most of them.
Zhou Hao can only pray now, the pearl must be sold that night! If no one bids, then this person will be a big loss, I am afraid that he will have to be thick-skinned and ask Gongsun Fu and others to help.
The auction lasted for three hours, from noon to early evening, and finally came to an end, with only the last three lots remaining.
The third-to-last piece was another spiritual weapon, which was bought by a person from a cultivation family for two million taels of silver.
The penultimate piece is Zhou Hao's night pearl!
As soon as the fist-sized night pearl came out, it suddenly shone brightly and dazzlingly, and the huge auction hall suddenly became much brighter.
"Wow, such a huge pearl of the night!"
"It's so rare to have such a big night pearl!"
Huang Puxi held the night pearl and looked at the reaction of the audience with satisfaction: "This night pearl is so big and bright that it is rare in the world! The starting price is three million taels, and the bidding starts now!"
In the hall that had been very enthusiastic just now, there was a sudden silence! Everyone was watching the reaction of others.
Zhou Hao's heart tightened, didn't he make a bid?
Gongsun Fu turned his head to Zhou Hao and smiled slightly, then turned back and said loudly: "The old man bids three million taels!"
As soon as Gongsun Fu made a bid, the pot suddenly boiled in the hall.
"Three million and one hundred thousand taels!"
"Three million three thousand taels!"
"Three million four thousand taels!"
In just a blink of an eye, the price came to four million taels.
And after Gongsun came back to the first price, he stroked his beard with a smile and became a spectator.
Zhou Hao hugged his fists and said: "Thank you seniors for solving the siege!"
Gongsun Fu waved his hand: "Don't thank me! It's not that no one is interested in the Night Pearl, it's just that no one wants to come out first, and the old man is just throwing bricks and attracting jade!"
In the end, the Night Pearl was bought by the Southern Chu royal family at a price of 4.5 million taels. They are not interested in cultivating things, but they are more interested in this treasure that can highlight their esteemed status.
This price can actually be worth the price of two spiritual weapons, which also makes Zhou Hao dumbfounded.
Gongsun Fu smiled and said: "Don't be surprised, little friend! The spirit weapons in this auction are not of high quality, they are all only inferior spirit weapons, and they are not even really in the product, so the value is not as good as the night pearl." If it is a real spiritual artifact, it will not appear in secular auctions, nor can it be measured by yellow and white things. β
Zhou Hao realized this, and then became very curious about the final finale.
I only heard that Huang Puxi said: "Next, it's the finale of this auction!"
As soon as Huang Puxi's voice fell, he waved his hand and said, "Lift it up!"
Several shirtless men, carrying a big guy tightly wrapped in thick cloth, walked to the center of the high platform.
Several big men carefully put the things they carried on the high platform.
"Qiuqiuqiu!" Under the thick cloth, there was a sound similar to birdsong.
"Huh, is it a living creature?" Zhou Hao suddenly became interested.
Nahuang Puxi said: "The finale of this auction is a spirit beast! This spirit beast has the heavens and the sea. If you grow to the limit, you will be able to soar above the nine heavens and overturn the rivers and seas below! Although now there are only the cultivation of top martial artists, if the time comes, it will definitely be comparable to the spiritual martial arts cultivation. β
"This thing is!" Huang Puxi grabbed the corner of the thick cloth and lifted it in one fell swoop: "Giant Winged Dapeng Bird!"
Zhou Hao looked intently, and saw that in the huge iron cage with the thickness of his arm, there was a giant bird that was one foot high, with wings like Jinsai Iron and fierce light in his eyes.
The giant-winged Dapeng bird saw the people in the hall, and the fierce light in his eyes was even worse, "Qiuqiuqiu!" There was a hiss, its wings fanned slightly, and a gust of wind rushed out.
Huang Puxi waved his sleeves to annihilate this gust of wind and invisible, and continued: "This Giant Winged Dapeng Bird, once it has the cultivation of Lingwu Cultivation, it will evolve into a Silver-winged Dapeng Bird!
"What?Spirit Martial Quadruple Heaven?Golden-winged Dapeng Bird?How could such an anti-heaven spirit beast appear in this auction?"
"It's incredible! The golden-winged Dapeng bird, which only exists in legends, has actually appeared!"
"The Huangpu family is too strong, right!
The atmosphere in the auction hall reached the peak of boiling in an instant.
Gongsun Rong attached himself to Gongsun Fu's ear and said in a low voice: "Elder Fu, I didn't expect the Huangpu family to really take out this spirit beast, what is the purpose?"
Gongsun Fu groaned: "This can only show that the faction behind the Huangpu family has been silent for so long, and finally wants to make a difference! β
"It's just like this, our Gongsun family!"
"Since you are here, you must take down this spirit beast! Once this kind of spirit beast grows to the limit, even the Supreme Elder is not its opponent, and it must not fall into the hands of the Nangong family. β
When the two were whispering, Huang Puxi said again: "This kind of spirit beast is not a worldly thing, naturally it cannot be measured by gold and silver!
This time, the Gongsun family, the Nangong family, and several other big forces all came for this spirit beast. But after the start of the auction, the first to bid were some small and medium-sized forces.
"Five hundred spirit stones!" I heard the eldest lady of the Shuiyun Sect not far away speak again, and after taking the first spirit weapon Flying Snow Sword, her voice never sounded again.
"Five hundred and ten spirit stones!"
"Five hundred and thirty spirit stones!"
The value of spirit stones is by no means measurable by gold and silver! If you can take out so many spirit stones at once, many small and medium-sized forces may have already given them everything. But in order to snatch this legendary spirit beast, they couldn't care about it anymore.
