Chapter 67: The Final Winner

"This sword starts at a million gold coins, and now the auction begins!"

As soon as the auctioneer's words came out, there was an uproar in the audience, and some people showed a look of shock and frustration on their faces, obviously that the starting price had exceeded their expectations.

In the VIP room, Aotian was also shocked when he heard the starting price said by the auctioneer.

The starting price was only one million gold coins, which was even more than he expected.

"Why is the starting price so high all of a sudden?" Aotian asked in surprise as he looked at the beautiful woman beside him.

The beautiful woman smiled and said unhurriedly: "Don't worry, Lord Aotian, this starting price is already low, just by virtue of Lord Aotian's name, it will definitely be more than this price, master, you can see well, the transaction price will definitely make you very satisfied!"

The beautiful woman's face was full of confidence, as if she could foresee everything.

Hearing this, Aotian nodded, and then looked at the auction table again.

Sure enough, after a short commotion and uproar in the audience, one person directly offered 1.5 million gold coins, followed by another person who immediately increased the price of 100,000 gold coins.

"One million seven million!"

"One million seven hundred and fifty thousand!"

"Two million ......" bidding sounds one after another.

"I'll give five million gold coins!" A deep cheer suddenly sounded, which immediately quieted the venue, and everyone's eyes looked at a VIP room on the second floor.

"Giggles, Lord Oude really has a vision—may I ask someone to increase the price!" said the auctioneer, with a smile in his eyes.

"Six million gold coins!" another deep cheer sounded in the ordinary seats under the stage, which suddenly made the originally quiet venue suddenly stir again.

Everyone looked at each other, but they found that the person who spoke was an old man in ordinary clothes.

Although the old man has gray hair, his eyes are sharp, his breath is deep, and his voice is extremely thick, obviously he is a martial cultivator who is not weak.

After a brief silence, some people began to whisper.

In the VIP room, the beautiful woman looked carefully at the old man below, and said with some doubts: "It's strange, this old man doesn't seem to have seen it before, and he is just sitting in an ordinary seat, it seems that it is likely to be the first time to come to our auction house, but he can come to this kind of price, it is definitely not an ordinary person!"

Aotian didn't pay attention to the beautiful woman's words that seemed to be muttering to himself, he was looking at the VIP room on the left at this time, his eyes flashed slightly, although there was a wall blocking it, and he couldn't see the scene in the VIP room next door, but judging from the voice just now, Aotian knew that the person sitting next to him was the head of the Ou family, Ou De.

"Hmph, five million gold coins are too low to sell to you!" Aotian sneered in his heart.

"This lord bid six million gold coins, may I ask if there is any increase in the price, Lord Oude, do you still increase the price?" came the auctioneer's pleasant voice on the stage again.

"I'll give you seven million gold coins!" Oude's deep voice sounded again, which immediately caused a sigh of embarrassment in the audience again, and many people focused their eyes on Oude, and then looked at the old man before, as if he was a bystander.

After all, the high price of seven million is not something that anyone can offer, and the price offered by Oude is really not worth it with him.

"I'll give out eight million gold coins!" The old man stood up suddenly, looked back at the VIP room on the second floor with a cold face, stretched out his hand and gestured to the auctioneer on the stage with a "eight" gesture, and said loudly.

Look at him like that, as if he has to compete with Ode today.

At this moment, Ou De in the VIP room couldn't help frowning when he saw the old man's provocative appearance, and his originally plain face suddenly sank.

"Who is this old guy, look at him like that, he has to fight with me to the end today, no, I must get this sword of Master Aotian!"

There was a hint of fanaticism and determination in Oude's eyes.

In the province of Beiyue, Oude was a well-known collector of swords, and the amount of money he spent on the purchase of swords was definitely a staggering amount.

Moreover, he also admired swordsmiths very much, especially those who could refine Xuan-level swords.

Not long ago, after Oude heard about the Sword Casting Masters and Aotian's deeds, he admired Aotian and admired him very much.

Therefore, when Oude learned that the sword refined by Master Aotian was going to be auctioned today, he was very excited, and he was even more determined to get this sword.

"With Master Aotian's talent, he will definitely surpass the current Grandmaster Ling Xiao in the future, and the value of this sword will be absolutely immeasurable at that time, and there will be a Grandmaster work in my Sword Pavilion!"

Thinking of this, Ou De's heart boiled with enthusiasm, and he immediately stood up from his seat, walked to the guardrail, looked at the old man below him with a firm face, and said loudly: "I'll give 10 million!"

"Ten million?" exclaimed everyone in the audience.

The standard price of a yellow-level high-grade sword is hundreds of thousands to millions, but today it has increased more than tenfold.

This shocked many people present!

"Ladies and gentlemen, Lord Oude bid a thousand gold coins, and from now on, the price increase in each round shall not be less than one million gold coins!" The auctioneer on the stage was also excited, and his voice seemed a little excited.

Hearing the auctioneer's words, the old man frowned, and seemed to be a little unwilling, so after a little silence, he called out a sky-high price that made the people present exclaim again: "Twelve million gold coins!"

Wow - there was another sigh and uproar in the field.

"Hahaha, Lord Aotian, that old man actually gave out 12 million gold coins!" The beautiful woman in the VIP room suddenly jumped up excitedly and clapped her hands again and again.

Although she had expected that the sword of Aotian would be sold for at least four or five million, she did not expect to be bid for twelve million at once, which surprised her greatly.

"Well, that's a pretty good price!" Aotian was also very excited, but he was now looking forward to Naode's continued price increase.

"This lord is really discerning, twelve million gold coins, may I ask Lord Oude, will you continue to increase the price?" the auctioneer's somewhat excited voice sounded again.

"Fifteen million gold coins!" Oude was silent for a while, then gritted his teeth and added three million gold coins at once.

"Old fellow, I don't believe you can be taller than me!" Oude said to himself, clutching the railing with both hands.

At this point, he seemed to have lost his mind slightly.

"Wow, fifteen million gold coins, Lord Oude bid fifteen million gold coins, may I ask if this lord wants to increase the price?" The auctioneer was already a little excited with a dry throat, and his pretty face turned crimson.

When the old man heard that Ou De had suddenly sold the price to fifteen million, he was finally deflated, and looked at Ou De with some unwillingness, and then looked at the sword on the auction table.

The last sighed and sat back in his seat.

Seeing this scene, the auctioneer already understood that the old man would not increase the price again, so he looked at the others and asked with a smile, "Is there still that VIP bidding?"

Hearing the auctioneer's words, everyone shook their heads.

"Okay, 15 million gold coins at a time!"

"15,000,000,000 gold coins twice!"

"Fifteen million gold coins three times!"

"Deal - Congratulations to Lord Ou De for successfully buying the yellow-level top-grade sword refined by our Yunlan Empire's youngest royal swordsmith - Master Aotian!"

As the auctioneer's words fell, there was a lot of discussion in the room, and everyone stood up and prepared to leave.

......

"Hmph, Oude, you really didn't disappoint me!" Aotian sneered in his heart.

Fifteen million is definitely sky-high, even for the Ou family, it is also a lot of money, this Oude is really hard work!

"Lord Aotian, are you satisfied with this transaction price?" asked the beautiful woman with a smile on her face.

"Well, it's very unexpected! Thanks to you this time, I'll hold a banquet at Qingfeng Restaurant tonight to entertain everyone, and you can help me inform the staff of the auction house later, by the way, you must let this auctioneer be there!" said Aotian with a smile on his face.

Aotian knew very well in her heart that the auctioneer was also responsible for the fact that her sword could be auctioned at such a high price today, and if it weren't for her previous clever campaign, I am afraid that the price would not have been so high.

So he really wanted to thank the auctioneer.

However, Aotian's words were misunderstood by the beautiful woman, she thought that Aotian had fallen in love with the auctioneer, so her eyes flashed, she smiled meaningfully, and said: "Lord Aotian is really too polite, but it is better to be respectful than to obey your fate, and the concubine will thank Lord Aotian for everyone first!"

......

After the auction, Aotian successfully received 15 Zijin cards with a face value of 1 million gold coins from the auction house, totaling 15 million gold coins.

Subsequently, accompanied by the beautiful woman, Aotian left the auction house and came to the trading market of the Sendong Trading House, which was adjacent to the auction house, to buy sword casting materials.

Sendong Commercial Bank is divided into three floors, the first floor is an ordinary trading market, and the sales in it are basically ordinary goods, and the entry and exit are also free, so this floor is always crowded with people, lively and extraordinary.

The second floor of the trading house is more advanced, and the goods sold in it are relatively expensive, but most of them are also goods that cannot be bought on the first floor, such as the swordsmith's sword-casting materials can be bought here.

But to enter the second layer, you need to pay a gold coin, so the second layer is much more deserted than the first layer, but the people who enter here are basically people who really want to buy things, and they are also some people who have a certain purchasing power.

And the third layer is not something that ordinary people can enter, and you need to pay ten gold coins to enter the third layer, which also blocks the footsteps of most people, but the goods sold on the third floor are not something that ordinary people can afford, and it will cost at least tens of thousands of gold coins to take out the same casually, and the most expensive of them may be millions, and you can directly take it to auction.

However, the goods sold in the third layer are also absolutely unavailable in the other two layers, such as the materials that Aotian needs to refine the Xuan-level sword, which can only be bought at this level.

Therefore, after Aotian came to the trading house, under the guidance of the beautiful woman, he went directly to the third floor of the Sendong trading house, and then successfully bought all the materials he needed there.

Now Aotian's funds are extremely sufficient, and he can also enjoy half-price discounts, so he spent more than five million gold coins to buy three materials for refining Xuan-level swords in one son.

But it also bought out all the materials for refining Xuan-level swords in Sendong Trading House.
