Chapter 263: Bidding
Gongfa, beast pills, and blades are all indispensable mainstreams in the auction, and beast-level beast pills, sub-god-level divine soldiers, and the ancient deep-sea blue iron naturally appear in the auction, and the price is expensive. And these things have undoubtedly fallen into the pockets of some big families.
As the auction came to an end, the dignified man finally came up with the highlight of the auction.
I saw that he was holding a mirror frame in his hand, which was inlaid with a somewhat worn ancient treasure map, and at the same time introduced to the nobles present: "Ladies and gentlemen, it has finally arrived at the final link of the great attention, and it is this treasure map that we want to present to you today!"
The words attracted countless curiosity from the audience, and even some nobles let out sneering boos, afraid that they were not interested in this broken paper at all.
However, the man's next words whetted the appetite of these greedy fellows.
"Although this treasure map is only a part, it records the burial location of the legendary Four Poles Divine Soldier!"
Qin Tao was startled, and immediately became interested, rubbing his hands underneath unconsciously, waiting for the man to reveal the price of this auction item.
"500,000 gold coins! The starting price is 500,000!" the man said in a loud voice.
"What?!Lie!" Qin Tao looked at the man on the stage in shock.
This treasure map of the Four Extremes Divine Soldier was only worth 500,000 gold coins, which was one-tenth of the assassination mission, how could such a low price not surprise Qin Tao. However, when he saw the silence that immediately fell into the field, he finally understood that the price of this picture was not mismarked.
If you think about it, some of the nobles are ordinary people. Even if they took a treasure map, it was as useless as waste paper, and with their strength, they couldn't find the other parts and find the Four Extremes Divine Soldiers.
There was silence in the arena for nearly half a quarter of an hour. A voice suddenly sounded: "Six hundred thousand gold coins!"
The nobles in the audience all cast their eyes on the sound, and when they saw Xue Hong standing up, they couldn't help but restrain their mocking expressions.
The Golden Lion Family, the big family of Sea Killing Purgatory, the patriarch Xue Hong has the reputation of "Golden Lion", so it is not surprising that this kind of treasure map is favored.
"Lord Xue Hong of the Golden Lion Family has bid 600,000 gold coins, is there anyone else bidding?" the man asked excitedly.
After a moment of silence. The man slammed down the hammer and shouted, "Six hundred thousand, one time!"
The nobles in the audience listened silently to the sound of the falling hammer. Waiting for the end of the auction, Xue Hong, who stood up, looked even more proud, like a victorious king, waiting for the coronation of victory with his head held high.
"700,000 gold coins!" a sudden voice broke the silence in the field. also broke Xue Hong's pride.
The nobles looked in the direction from which the sound came from. Xuan even saw a young man dressed in ordinary clothes.
The man on the stage opened his mouth slightly embarrassed, but the experienced man immediately smiled and shouted, "Seven hundred thousand is effective!"
Many aristocrats looked at Qin Tao who was asking for a price like a monster, and some of them had a lively mentality, perhaps thinking that this reckless young man was going to cause a big disaster.
Xue Hong, who stood up, glanced at Qin Tao in the corner, and his face was a little red, and he immediately shouted unwillingly: "Nine hundred thousand!"
"Nine hundred thousand is valid!" the man's voice immediately followed.
"One million!" Qin Tao did not back down.
Xue Hong's eyes were full of anger, in fact, he had already made an agreement with the auction house before the auction began, and this drawing must be auctioned by him. Otherwise, there would not be such a low starting price. However, Xue Hong never expected that there would be an obstacle to the road.
"One million and one million!" Xue Hong replied through gritted teeth.
It has more than doubled the starting price. This thing, which seemed worthless to everyone in the audience, was raised all the way by these two people, and it seems that this picture will be auctioned at an unexpected price.
The men who are on the side of the auction house naturally want each item to sell for a sky-high price, so that they will make a lot of profit. However, this auction item is an exception that they don't want to sell for a sky-high price, after all, they can't afford to mess with the Golden Lion family.
"One and a half million!" Qin Tao said calmly.
The man looked at Qin Tao, who was still sitting, in surprise, and looked at this extremely ordinary stranger with a puzzled expression, but he didn't dare to make the slightest question, so he could only say in his own right: "One and a half million is valid!"
Xue Hong's anger had reached the extreme, his body had already glowed with a faint golden light, and his huge fists were clenched, but even so, he endured it with grace and roared an astronomical number: "Two million!"
Two million gold coins, two years of expenses for a big family, were actually used on an ethereal part of the treasure map, and the nobles at this time were surprised what else would they have.
However, Qin Tao smiled faintly and said to Xue Hong very calmly: "You won." ”
As soon as these words came out, the audience was in an uproar, Xue Hong's face was even more swollen like a red apple, and the man on the stage opened his mouth wide, and he was overwhelmed with surprise.
Qin Tao stood up, first bowed deeply to the angry Xue Hong, and then slowly left his seat, while reminding the man on the stage, "It's time for you to drop the hammer." ”
With three hammer sounds, the sky-high treasure map of two million gold coins fell into Xue Hong's hands so dramatically.
After the man on the stage trembled and announced, Xue Hong roared angrily, and the roar like a lion's roar suddenly shook the venue wildly, and some nobles with weak strength were suddenly frightened and squatted under the seats.
Qin Tao walked out of the venue, he naturally didn't do it on purpose for the auction just now, after all, he also wanted the hidden treasure map of the Four Extremes Divine Soldier very much, but since Xue Hong didn't let him, he had no choice but to do it.
Suddenly, an old man with a kind face stopped Qin Tao, the old man first introduced his identity as the housekeeper of the Golden Lion Family, and then said to Qin Tao respectfully: "This lord, my master wants to invite the adult to the mansion to talk, I don't know if the adult appreciates his face." ”
Looking at the old housekeeper of the Golden Lion Clan with a smile on his face and a respectful attitude, Qin Tao replied in a humble tone: "Thank you Lord Xue Hong for your kind invitation, I will be able to avoid the matter of going to the house." After speaking, he didn't give the old man a chance to speak, and immediately left the auction hall quickly.
Qin Tao came out of the venue, found the front desk staff of the auction house, and asked bluntly: "Excuse me, do you have any settings such as auction house members here?"
The waiter obviously didn't know what was happening in the auction hall just now, so he just looked at Qin Tao, who was dressed in ordinary clothes, contemptuously, and then replied very indifferently: "Yes." ”
"Then what are the requirements for becoming a member?" Qin Tao asked modestly.
"Just auction or auction off something worth 100,000 gold coins. There was still contempt in the eyes of the service staff.
Qin Tao let out an "oh", and then took out a ninth-level soul beast beast pill from the soul ring and handed it over, while saying, "Do you think this is okay?"
Seeing the round and glowing ninth-level beast pill, the service staff's eyes suddenly lit up, and their attitude instantly changed from indifference to enthusiasm.
Carefully took the beast pill, and the service staff said respectfully with a smile on his face: "This adult, just now the villain has eyes and doesn't know Taishan......
Qin Tao waved his hand and interrupted, "This should be qualified to become a member, right?"
"That's enough, that's enough! Wait, my lord, I'll take care of it for you right away. The service staff complimented him graciously.
In this way, Qin Tao received all respectful services, and became a member of this auction house extremely smoothly, and also got a golden soul card to store gold coins.
Through the service staff Qin Tao also learned that the members of the auction house can get the latest auction information every day, the seats for each auction are also fixed, and the handling fee for auctioning and auctioning off the goods is very small.
......
Just when Qin Tao was going through all the formalities for the members of the auction house, the housekeeper of the Golden Lion family saw Xue Hong and truthfully reported the meeting with Qin Tao.
"Damn! What is the origin of this kid! I don't know how to lift!" Xue Hong slammed the wall and said angrily.
"Patriarch, I have already sent my men to investigate, but according to the old slave, this kid should be a newcomer. ”
"It doesn't matter what his background is, I haven't seen a few of Lao Tzu who is so rampant here, it seems that if you don't give this kid some color, he doesn't know how powerful I Xue Hong is!"
"The old slave will do it!" The old housekeeper immediately guessed Xue Hong's mind and took the order. (To be continued......)
