Chapter 71: Who's the Clown
An ancient book costs 10 million?
Everyone was a little disgusted when they heard this.
The martial arts physique is indeed fascinating, and accepting such a person as an apprentice is indeed something that every big family and big sect dreams of.
However, martial arts physique is already scarce, who can be sure that after buying a book, he will be lucky enough to meet such a person?
To put it bluntly, this kind of thing ultimately depends on luck.
People who are lucky enough to go out can pick up disciples with good bones, and they don't need this book at all.
If you are unlucky, you may not be able to find it even if you search through the whole city.
And most importantly!
There is no shortage of appreciators for talented people, and if they spend a lot of manpower and material resources to cultivate them, they are likely to be poached by others with other benefits.
People are oriented and profit-oriented, even if they are fathers and sons, they have turned against each other, let alone masters and apprentices.
So.
This ancient book was instantly cold.
Although they have money, no one wants to spend money on an uncertain thing, not to mention that this kind of thing is very likely to breed a white-eyed wolf for themselves.
Maybe whoever buys this book will be stared at for decades to come, and they will be dug up at any time.
"It seems that the people's perception of this book is not clear."
The reaction of everyone was obviously expected by the auctioneer, and he continued unhurriedly: "In addition to recording the martial arts physique in this book, there is also a method that can make people at least reach the heavenly level, which records that since ancient times, those who have used this method have the lowest level of the heavenly rank, and the highest can become an immortal-level powerhouse!" ”
The auctioneer's faint voice spread throughout the auction room.
The originally noisy venue was silent in an instant.
If that's the case, then the value of this ancient book has changed.
As a martial artist, who doesn't want to be a master!
"Ten million!"
Soon the first person to make an offer appeared.
"Eleven million!"
"Twelve million!"
"Fifteen million!"
……
With people at the beginning, the next offers are endless.
After a while, the price of the ancient book was raised to a high price of 20 million!
It's just that the price of 20 million has slowed down.
Everyone is not stupid, even if there is a way to become an immortal, the conditions must be quite harsh.
Otherwise, how could Wanbaotang be willing to take out such an ancient book and sell it?
Isn't it fragrant to collect it yourself and cultivate a group of immortal-level troops to sweep the martial arts?
Xu Laowei calculated the budget for this auction in his box, considering whether to buy this ancient book, and whether it would affect the auction of the treasure in the future.
Just as he was hesitating, a familiar voice suddenly sounded.
"Twenty-two million! We want this book from our Jiang family! Jiang Haotian said suddenly.
When Xu Lao Wei heard that the Jiang family was going to make this book, it wouldn't work!
Without hesitation, he clapped the board and said: "I also want this book from my Xu family!" Two thousand two hundred and ten thousand! ”
Because each price increase must not be less than 10,000, Xu Laowei is obviously humiliating the Jiang family by asking for such a price.
Since I can't beat you now, I'm going to disgust you at auction!
"Sir, it's the Xu family." Jiang Haotian looked at Chen Dong.
Chen Dong raised his eyelids and said lightly: "Continue to increase the price." ”
Jiang Haotian nodded: "Twenty-three million!" ”
"Two thousand three million and one thousand!"
"Twenty-four million!!"
"Two thousand four million and one thousand!!"
……
In this way, every time Jiang Haotian increased the price, Xu Laowei added 10,000 more.
That's how the price came to four thousand and one thousand!
The housekeeper of the Xu family hurriedly persuaded: "Master of the family, we can't continue, our money must be kept for the last treasure of the auction, and we can't gamble for a while!" ”
"Of course I do! You think I really want to shoot this? I'm just disgusting with the Jiang family! Obviously, the things that can be taken down for 20 million were carried to 40 million by me, and it is estimated that the Jiang family is going crazy in the box!! ”
Old Monster Xu's face was more cheerful, and he waved his hand and said: "The price is almost over, we won't add it when the Jiang family bids again, and we'll be angry with these bastards!" ”
At the same time, Jiang Haotian was about to increase the price again, but was suddenly stopped by Chen Dong.
"Okay, no need to add it."
Chen Dong said with a playful smile: "The Xu family will be happy enough, let's directly use the privileges given to us by Wanbaotang." ”
Jiang Haotian was stunned for a moment, and then reacted.
Wanbaotang once gave Chen Dong a privilege, that is, to take a lot unconditionally.
"But isn't it too wasteful to put such a privilege here, we can afford to pay for only 40 million." Jiang Haotian said with some pity.
"It's okay, the rest of the stuff is rubbish to me, and there's no need to bid." After Chen Dong finished speaking, he closed his eyes.
Hearing Chen Dong say this, Jiang Haotian had no worries, and said with great interest: "Old Monster Xu must have thought that we were spending more money, and he was happy, I really wanted to see his expression for a while." ”
The Xu family thought that they were disgusted by the Jiang family, but they didn't know that Chen Dong had been playing tricks on them.
"Our Jiang family uses privileges."
As soon as this statement came out.
The expressions of the audience were different, and most of the people asked the people around them with doubts what privileges the Jiang family had.
"Privileges?? What privileges?? ”
Old Monster Xu also looked at the people around him with a confused expression.
The housekeeper also shook his head, indicating that he didn't know.
On the auction table, the auctioneer smiled slightly after hearing Jiang Haotian's words: "Since the Jiang family has used the privileges, then this ancient book will belong to the Jiang family!" But before I do that, I have one more question. ”
"After the decision of the senior management of Wanbaotang, the Jiang family has the right to choose one of the lots in this auction at will to take away without paying any fees! Will the Jiang family use this only privilege on this ancient book! ”
The auctioneer said this, firstly, to ensure the opinion of the Jiang family, and secondly, to explain to everyone what this privilege was about.
"My Jiang family is sure!"
"Okay, then this ancient book will be delivered to your box later."
After it was confirmed, the ancient book was taken off the stage.
In the Xu family's box, Xu Lao Wei looked confused, and the joy on his face had long been gone.
"! Jiang Haotian, this bastard is playing with me! Obviously he has privileges, what is the price of him! Is this kidding me!! Old Monster Xu's mind spun quickly, and he immediately understood the other party's intentions.
After playing for a long time, I turned out to be the clown!
The psychological gap made the anger in Xu Laowei's heart increase exponentially.
"Don't worry! That's a good thing for us! The housekeeper saw that the eyes of the head of the house were about to burst, and hurriedly said comfort.
"A good thing? Lao Tzu was tricked in vain and is still complacent here, you tell me where the good came from!! Old Monster Xu roared angrily.
The housekeeper hurriedly said: "Family master, think about it differently, the Jiang family has used the only privilege, doesn't that mean that they have to bid for the later lots, and we don't have to worry about the Jiang family's privileges to auction the treasure we fancy away." ”
"Moreover, according to our investigation, the Jiang family's finances have always been inferior to ours, so our Xu family doesn't have to be afraid of them at all!"
Hearing the housekeeper's explanation, Xu Lao Wei thought that this was indeed the case.
"Housekeeper, it's really our blessing for my Xu family to have you!"
Old Monster Xu patted the butler on the shoulder with relief, and the anger in his heart quietly disappeared, replaced by ridicule of the Jiang family: "Wasting such a precious privilege on such an uncertain ancient book, the Jiang family's brain is really funny!" ”
The next lot is some Gongfa pills.
Many families fought for these things, and the price soared to hundreds of millions at one point.
During this period, the Xu family never participated in the auction again.
Until the last lot comes along!
"Ladies and gentlemen, this is the last lot of the day! It was my Wanbaotang who found it from the ruins, and it took at least thousands of years to identify this treasure! After the baptism of time, it is still sharpened like clay, which is a necessary weapon for warriors! ”
In the auctioneer's introduction, a cold sword was slowly pushed onto the auction table.
Even through the glass, Jiang Haotian could feel the sharpness coming from the blade.
"You can see from everyone's expressions that they are satisfied with this treasure, but! If it's just sharp, how can it become today's finale treasure! ”
As he spoke, another staff member pushed a piece of granite up.
The auctioneer smiled and picked up the sword, instilling internal strength, and suddenly the sword glowed with a white light.
With a casual chop, the granite a few meters away was cut in two, and the cross-section was as smooth as a mirror.
"As you can see, he is just a Xuan-level martial artist below, but with the blessing of this sword, he can release his internal strength and external strength, and his value does not need me to say more!"
"Starting bid! One hundred million! Each increase is not less than 10 million! ”
As soon as the words fell, someone raised their hands to bid!
"Sir, this ...... What a treasure! The previous privileges are used early! ”
Jiang Haotian thumped his chest, annoyed!
And Chen Dong just spit out four words without being salty or light:
"It's just rubbish."
On the other side, in the Xu family's box, Xu Lao Wei was very excited:
"That's right! This is exactly the treasure recorded on my Xu family's ancestors! A bunch of stupid people who don't even know the true power of this sword! ”
