Chapter 16: The Pit Man's Auction
Unexpectedly, the thing he wanted the most appeared in the third place, Zheng Jia swallowed hard, stared at the herb and his eyes lit up, and at the moment when he was about to press the price increase of 10,000, the person in the room next to him pressed the price first.
"The second VIP on the second floor has increased the price by 15,000! I don't know which son in the room is so big! Wow! The VIP in the third room on the second floor is 10,000 yuan! It seems that the two of them are already bound to get this medicinal herb! But who can get the treasure? At present, the price of the 1,400-year-old spirit tonifying grass has risen to 45,000 taels of silver in just this instant!"
The auctioneer was like a ring commentator, his face flushed with excitement, his hands trembled slightly, and he continued in an excited tone: "The age of this spiritual tonic grass is as high as 1,400 years, and it grows on Quanyuan Mountain, where the spiritual energy is the most abundant, and its medicinal properties are not lower than those of ordinary spiritual tonic grass for two thousand years, which is of great help to cultivators!"
There was an uproar in the audience, obviously they were very coveted by this medicinal herb, but they knew very well that anyone with a little money in the ordinary auction area could enter, but the special auction area was different, if they wanted to enter, if they didn't have some strength or power in Ice Heart City, it wouldn't work at all, so this medicinal herb could only miss out on themselves.
"The price has been increased by 10,000! The VIP in Room 7 on the third floor has increased the price by 10,000 yuan! Is he planning to join this invisible gunsmoke? 15,000 Oh my God! Another big figure who has raised the price by 15,000! Now that there are four big names on the field competing for this spiritual tonifying grass, who will be its wishful owner?" The auctioneer instigated the atmosphere of the VIPs on and off the court.
"It's okay to add whatever they want, anyway, it has nothing to do with us! The 1,400-year-old spirit replenishing grass will not exceed 100,000 taels of silver at most, if my guess is right, the people behind will increase the price to 5,500 land......" A guest in the ordinary auction area, before he could say anything, he saw a value of 50,000 on the third room on the second floor!
"Fifty thousand? Directly increase the price by fifty thousand! What kind of big man is this guest of honor in room No. 3 on the second floor? Will it be the city lord Nangu? Or the patriarch of the three major families?"
"Hey, Zheng Jia, be sensible! Although we are already millionaires, we can't just squander it! This fourteen-hundred-year-old spirit tonifying grass is rare, but the maximum value will not exceed 100,000, and your price increase will soar directly to 120,000!" Fei Xuan's eyes widened, and even his mouth couldn't close in surprise.
Zheng Jia's face had become much more flat, and he even felt that Fei Xuan's reaction was a little ridiculous, of course he knew that the effect of the 1,400-year-old Spiritual Replenishing Grass was not particularly significant, but what he wanted was not the Spiritual Replenishing Grass, but the Restoration Pill, so this 120,000 was not such an exaggerated number for him.
Zheng Jia thought in his heart that this number could already make him intimidate everyone, and then he just waited to get the Spirit Replenishing Grass in his pocket. No. 7 on the third floor and No. 2 on the third floor had already retreated, but who would have thought that No. 2 on the second floor next to him did not flinch, and increased the price by 30,000 again.
"I want to see who you're going to bluff? I don't want the Mad God Knife, but I'm bound to get this Spiritual Supplementing Grass!" The guest in Room 2 on the second floor sneered, and increased the price by 30,000!
If the identity of the other party could be known, Zheng Jia would definitely not continue to add, because the person next to him was Hong Mingtian, the young master of the Hong family.
Previously, Hong Mingtian ordered someone to pick up Zheng Jia, but found that the other person was not at home, so he had no choice but to participate in the auction by himself, preparing to auction off the spirit supplementing grass.
"I'll see how many 30,000 you have!" Zheng Jia also sneered, and then raised the price by 50,000 again!
The people in the audience were already silent, and even the auctioneer was a little stunned at the value of 200,000, she thought that a 1,400-year-old spiritual herb could only be sold for a high price of 150,000 if it died, but she never expected that this price would climb to this height!
"Sure enough, the immortal product is matched with the immortal! It seems that this spiritual herb must be the VIP of room No. 3 on the second floor!" The auctioneer began to fan the flames, judging from his ability to follow the price immediately, as long as the VIP in room No. 2 on the second floor increased the price, he would definitely follow.
Hong Mingtian's heart tightened, he and the auctioneer had the same idea, the value of the 1,400-year-old spirit tonic grass was at most 150,000, which was why he only increased the price by 30,000.
"Twenty thousand...... Don't follow anymore!" Hong Mingtian pressed down a few numbers with trembling hands, and now he was completely bottomless. The money he brought with him was only 300,000, and his highest budget was 250,000, and it was not certain whether the person next to him would continue to follow the price.
"That's good! The price can climb up a little more!" Seeing that the VIP in Room 2 on the second floor was a little slow to increase the price, the auctioneer was secretly happy, but there was no change on his face, and it was still that charming smile.
"30,000!" As the auctioneer expected, the VIPs in Room 3 on the second floor immediately followed the price, and the price had reached as much as 250,000!
"It seems that the results have come out, two hundred and fifty thousand! Two hundred and fifty thousand, two-times-" The auctioneer was in a hurry to make up his mind, but he stretched the word "twice" very long, which really captured Hong Mingtian's anxious psychology.
"Fifty thousand!" Hong Mingtian was ruthless, so he had to fight hard! After all, no matter how much money he had, when he spent it, he would earn it back, but if he could rely on Zheng Jia's elixir to improve his strength, his status in the family would be on the rise, and the vitality he had accumulated for many years would also rise like mushrooms after a rain.
"Thirty thousand!" Sure enough, Room 3 on the second floor once again kept up with the price, without any hesitation. This time, Hong Mingtian was completely defeated, and the last bit of hope was gone.
"Maybe this is fate, but who is this who is willing to spend such a large price to buy a spiritual tonic grass?" Just sighed, Hong Mingtian came out of regret, just don't buy it, there is still a 10,000-year-old spiritual tonifying grass in his home, and its effectiveness and effect are far from being comparable to this 1,400-year-old plant.
"330,000 times! 330,000 times, 2 timesโโ, 330,000 times! Congratulations to the VIPs of room 3 on the second floor for winning the lot," the auctioneer made the final decision and successfully traded.
"Next, the fourth item will be auctioned - Xuan-level Lower Grade Blood Drinking Sword! The source is unknown, maybe it is from a certain master outside the world, the starting price is 20,000 taels of silver, and the increase shall not be less than 2,000 each time, and the auction will begin!"
"Blood-Drinking Sword, how is it a Xuan-rank inferior product?"
Zheng Jia frowned, in the memory of his previous life, there seemed to be such a blood-drinking sword, the attribute is cold, once it hurts and bleeds, whether it is a human or a demon, or a demon beast with a strong body, all of them will bleed, as if drinking blood, as for whether it is the same sword, it is unknown.
"No, it shouldn't! The previous blood-drinking sword was as high as the upper grade of the earth, but this one is only the lower grade of the Xuan rank, and it must not be the same!" Zheng Jiazai carefully searched the memories of his previous life, and was 100% sure that it was not the same weapon, but for the sake of safety, no matter who auctioned it, he still insisted on destroying this "evil sword".
"Twenty-five thousand!"
"Thirty-five thousand!"
The call is getting higher and higher, the quality of the blood-drinking sword is not high, but it is definitely not low, although everyone's valuation of this sword will not reach 330,000, but it will never be less than 180,000.
"I got this sword, and my strength will definitely go to the next level!" The eldest girl in room No. 2 on the third floor showed a beautiful smile, and pressed down the price of 50,000 yuan!
Zheng Jia and Feixuan naturally won't follow the price anymore, and there is still a mad god knife that has not yet been auctioned, so they won't spend effort on such an unimportant thing.
"Forty thousand!"
"Twenty thousand!" Seeing that someone was following the price with her, Room No. 2 on the third floor naturally would not show weakness. As the eldest daughter of the Sima patriarch, Sima Zirui has always suppressed the rest of the clansmen, and her temper is naturally arrogant and unreasonable.
After several times of following the price, it was finally bought by Sima Zirui at the price of 240,000 taels of silver.
"Room 2 on the third floor...... After the auction is over, you just wait for bad luck!" Zheng Jia's eyes showed a hint of coldness, and he was thinking about how to destroy the Blood Drinking Sword.
"Next, we will auction the last item, which is still a low-grade weapon. This is a mad god knife, its knife is four feet eight inches long, with a net weight of forty-eight catties, all made of obsidian black iron, from the hands of the Lou family Lou Jin Dog, the largest family in the capital Tiandi City, even if it is the same weapon, it can be regarded as the best, the starting price is 40,000 taels of silver, and the increase each time must not be less than 4,000 taels!"
After introducing everything about the Mad God Knife, the auctioneer ordered someone to bring a piece of iron two feet long and one foot thick, and a strong uncle picked up the Mad God Knife and slashed at the piece of iron, only to see that the iron piece was easily broken into two pieces like noodles, leaving a smooth cross-section.
"Good knife!" Fei Xuan couldn't wait for a long time, and his eyes saw that this knife was about to release its essence. His obsession with sword weapons is no less than Zheng Yuan's obsession with swords. In addition, he himself will have a set of Xuan-level lower-grade sword martial arts, and with this mad god knife, he will definitely be able to raise his strength to another level.
"Seventy thousand!" Fei Xuan happily added seventy thousand to the price, and suddenly turned away the people in the ordinary auction area thousands of miles away, or maybe a high-end item like this was not the prey of low-end auctioneers at all.
"The VIP in room No. 3 on the second floor is really extraordinary! As soon as he makes a move, it is a huge number, and I believe that the last item is prepared for him! Is there a higher price?"
"Ninety thousand!" What I didn't expect was that Room 10 on the third floor was more generous than Zheng Jia, and the total price suddenly climbed to 200,000!
"Whoever has more money, right? Let's see who's richer!" The current Fei Xuan is not afraid of poking out any basket, he is rich and powerful, and there are very few people who can make him afraid! After sneering, he pressed down 100,000 yuan.
What? Crazy, isn't he? Who the hell is this person? Spend 330,000 yuan to buy a medicinal herb and spend 300,000 yuan to buy a weapon? These two pieces add up to 630,000 yuan, even the three major families can't come up with such a huge wealth at will, right?
"One hundred thousand!" Room No. 8 on the second floor also joined the "battle", raising the price to 400,000.
Fei Xuan was a little nervous, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and then carefully calculated the rest of the money, and found that if the price of the Mad God Sword was raised to 670,000, it could not be increased again. At present, there is still room for a price increase of 270,000 yuan, and if it exceeds this value, it will only end up in disappointment.
"Ninety thousand!" After weighing it, Fei Xuan still planned to add it in several parts, of course, he hoped that he would be able to buy the Mad God Sword by adding this price.
"100,000!" The people in Room 8 on the second floor chased after him, and increased the price by 100,000 again, and his heart was bleeding, no matter how much the current price has been raised to 590,000!
"It's okay, just add more, money is not a problem, I have a way!" Zheng Jia said with a relaxed face
