Chapter 147: Red Copper and White Jade Mine

A pleasant sound of gongs and drums resounded throughout the venue, the curtain on the platform of the venue slowly fell, and the well-dressed president of the Wanjin Chamber of Commerce, Bei Yuanting, had stood at the front edge of the platform at some point.

You see that he was calm, looked around with a smile, and said to everyone in the venue: "All the nobles have come to participate in this year's 10,000-gold auction, Bei feels very honored, thank you here!"

At the venue, many businessmen and nobles who were dressed up and seated bowed to Bei Yuanting on the stage, but only a few chambers of commerce and individuals did not react to this, including the brocade-robed young man and the Huaer Chamber of Commerce who was sitting not far from him.

Pei Yuanting, who had been experienced for a long time, didn't think so, only nodded and smiled at those friends who returned the gift, and continued: "Presumably, everyone got a list of auctions when they entered the venue, which has a detailed description of each item that will be auctioned, and you must have found your favorite target......

Listening to the introduction on the stage, many people took out the catalogue of the auction, a little smiling, some of them were looking at their goals on the catalogue this time, weighing the chips in their hands. Many rare items are destined to make for exciting games, and that's why the Chamber of Commerce has released this catalog in advance.

Seeing that the atmosphere in the venue was slowly becoming active, Bei Yuanting looked at everyone again and said: "Then, Bei Mou is here to first introduce to you the rules of this auction, first, for the sake of fairness, the auction order is not in accordance with the order of the catalog; If the total price of the auction has exceeded this amount, you must show other bills or corresponding treasures for exchange before you can continue to bid; thirdly, this is also the rule of free trade in Beihai City, after the gas is fixed, the on-site transaction, for the goods worth more than one million gold, we have prepared a gift with space power!"

As soon as this remark came out, it immediately caused a heated discussion in the audience. Those storage containers with space power are worth a lot of money in themselves, and this Wanjin Chamber of Commerce is really rich, and even has prepared space tips for large goods. This news has to be exciting!

"This is the last point...... Bei Yuanting coughed dryly and said, "It's in this Beihai City." The Wanjin Chamber of Commerce will provide you with protection, but going out of the city is not something we can take care of, I hope you understand and take good care of the items you photographed. ”

"This auction will be presided over by Bei himself. I hope you can all get what you like. So. I announce that the auction has officially begun!"

As Pei Yuanting's voice and warm applause echoed in the venue, the curtain that had been pulled down was opened again. On that semicircular platform there was an extra behemoth. It is about three zhang high and four or five zhang wide, almost occupying half of the platform, giving people a great visual impact.

The two strong guards lifted the tarpaulin covering it together, and it was actually a copper mine!?

At first glance, this cuprite is unremarkably blood-red, and like most cuprites, the veins are crisscrossed with white jade lines. This cuprite originates from the small mountain range to the west of the eastern continent, and is the raw material for many ornaments and treasures.

What makes everyone feel strange is that although such a large piece of cuprite is also worth a lot of money, it is a drop in the bucket for an auction like today, and I don't know why it has become the first commodity to be auctioned?

Yang Rui had repeatedly studied the catalogue of the auction many times, and at the moment when the tarpaulin was lifted, he squinted his eyes and carefully observed this piece of red copper and white jade. Gradually, a hint of joy appeared on his face.

"As you can see, this is a copper and white jade mine. Looking at the people in the audience who were talking, Pei Yuanting explained unhurriedly: "However, if you have carefully read the auction catalog, you can know that this is not only a vein, but also contains a skeleton of a foreign beast that has been assimilated with the vein!"

As soon as these words came out, many people immediately looked at the catalog in their hands, and some people stretched their necks to carefully observe this behemoth on the stage, wanting to find some clues from it.

"When the craftsmen were cutting through the vein, they found a skeleton of a giant ape-like palm, which still seemed to be in the form of a fist. In order to protect the integrity of the bones, we did not continue to cut down. Pei Yuanting raised his hand and pointed to a protruding part of the red copper mountain.

Everyone looked in the direction they pointed, and sure enough, they saw a huge fist, because the color of the fist skeleton was blood-red like red copper, so it was not noticed by everyone.

Seeing the surprised looks on the faces of everyone in the audience, Pei Yuanting smiled and continued: "After accepting this red copper and white jade mine, we have found a special appraiser to identify it, and the history of this vein can be traced back to ancient times. In other words, the skeleton of this alien beast hidden deep in the vein may be a powerful ancient alien beast. Of course, it is also possible that it is just the remains of an ordinary ape. ”

Pei Yuanting narrated in a sincere way, without the slightest intention of adding oil and vinegar, and clearly explained the origin of this copper vein and the speculation of the Wanjin Chamber of Commerce itself. Just like in a flea market, the value of this item is entirely up to the audience to judge.

Sometimes, though, it's this kind of ambiguous product that arouses people's curiosity and makes people itch to buy it and find out. It's like a gambler throwing down a sieve in his hand in anticipation of a surprise outcome.

In such a situation, it is very likely that a high price will be fetched. In addition, for those who did not photograph this product, they will more or less leave a little regret in their hearts. This subtle mentality laid an excellent psychological foundation for the subsequent auctions, and this is also the purpose of Pei Yuanting to put it in the first place.

This kind of heart-attacking method is much more clever than the way of red susu in the dark auction that tempts me with words, and I have to say: ginger is still old and spicy!

At this time, Yang Rui didn't think about it so much, just blindly stared at the red copper and white jade mine. By capturing the flow of vitality in it. The boy could clearly see the outline of the skeleton trapped deep in the vein.

In the Yuancang Realm, probably only he can see such a scene.

It was a skeleton much larger than an ordinary ape, with a white head and bare feet, and it maintained the appearance of a single punch. From the gaping mouth and skull, we can see how angry and unwilling this beast was at the moment of death.

The momentum of this punch was enough to move mountains and reclaim the sea, which shows how fierce the fight was at that time. Yang Rui couldn't imagine what kind of opponent could kill such a powerful beast in an instant, and it still remained the same as it was before death after hundreds of millions of years!

Maybe it's a human warrior who has transcended the Wheel Realm, or a powerful rune master, or maybe it's a god race? Yang Rui left those unrealistic imaginations behind. There was a hint of excitement in his eyes as he looked at the copper vein.

Because he knew with great certainty that this skeleton was definitely not an ordinary ape, but belonged to a powerful beast that had become extinct. Although I don't know what the level of this strange beast is, the pure-blooded species of the ancient era should have a great effect on strengthening his body!

Suppressing the feeling of excitement in my heart. The boy quietly observed the puzzled and curious expressions of the people around him. I thought to myself that probably no one would know the secrets of this vein as well as he did. He cast his eyes on the platform again, just waiting for Pei Yuanting's offer.

"Red copper and white jade mine, the reserve price is 300,000 taels of gold!"

Seeing that everyone's curiosity was aroused. Pei Yuanting unhurriedly quoted the price of this vein.

Such a price has indeed been questioned by many people, because in terms of the value of the ore alone, even such a large piece of red copper and white jade ore can be sold for 10,000 taels of gold in the market, but as soon as it comes out, it has risen thirty times.

If you buy it back and find that what is hidden inside is nothing more than a worthless ape skeleton, then the sale will be a big loss!

For a moment, the hall became much quieter, and everyone looked at the veins and whispered to each other, and many shook their heads as they spoke, obviously reluctant to take the risk. Pei Yuanting had long expected such a scene, so he was not in a hurry, and stood on the stage with a smile. For a product like this, you don't need much, just one or two people are enough to bid.

Yang Rui couldn't help but be a little anxious when he saw such a scene in the audience, and was thinking about whether to bid first, and finally heard someone in the VIP seat upstairs shouting the price.

"305,000 taels of gold!"

It was a well-known jeweller in Butterworth, and it is said that at least half of the jewelry sold in the market was produced in his workshop. If you want to say that the person who is most interested in this vein, it should be him except Yang Rui. However, it is not because of the bones in it, but because of the value of the red copper and white jade ore itself as a raw material for processing.

It was only after he opened his mouth that the maker immediately regretted it, and he had made an unthinking bid attracted by the quality of this vein, but now he calculated carefully, only to find that it was a loss-making transaction anyway. The eyes looked around as if asking for help, hoping that someone would be willing to make a bid to do this wronged place for himself.

"Three hundred and ten thousand taels of gold!"

While he was feeling desperate, a clear voice came from downstairs and overwhelmed him. This made him sit back in his seat with relief, and looked downstairs, which turned out to be the price shouted by a young man in black.

"Hehe, I don't know which family's children are squandering the family's money like this. The jeweler muttered with a relaxed face, "Stupidly shouting, but it can be regarded as helping me recover my losses." ”

The young man in black was Yang Rui, who was sitting with the princess of Wuyue Kingdom, and in fact, at this moment, he was also putting on a look of not knowing anything, making people feel that this was a rookie blindly following the price.

Princess Lingyi was taken aback when she heard the young man behind her bid, and turned her head and reminded in a low voice: "Buying that vein at a price like this is definitely a loss......"

"It doesn't matter, just buy it and play with it. The boy smiled, looking innocent, as if casually.

After the black-clothed boy bid, there was silence in the venue, and everyone's hearts were constantly guessing and hesitating, but no one was willing to increase the price. Seeing that the goal had been achieved, Pei Yuanting stood in front of the stage and raised the gavel in his hand.

"Three hundred and fifty thousand taels of gold, buy this cuprite!"

Suddenly, just as the gavel was about to fall, a young man's voice was heard again from the attic. Everyone followed the prestige and found that it was the high-profile young Yingfan from the Southern Continent!

This discovery made the scene boil again, and many girls screamed and shouted desperately, constantly shouting loudly, and throwing winks at the teenagers upstairs. This is really the same as the situation of the young man in black when he bid just now, and it is completely different from the same level.

Yingfan, dressed in a brocade robe and jade robe, sat on the VIP seat to enjoy the shouts of the crowd, with a lonely smile on the corner of his mouth, as if he was receiving the cheers of his people.

"Childe, this auction price is obviously ...... high," at this time, a waiter beside the brocade-robed young man whispered.

"It's okay to lose a little money, I'm just not used to this quiet venue, don't you think it's good now?" the brocade-robed young man interrupted the squire's words and said with a sneer.

Bei Yuanting looked at the young man upstairs with infinite scenery and shook his head, and sighed softly in his heart, this kind of scene is definitely not something he is happy to see now. Because this enthusiastic reaction undoubtedly diluted the suspicion of the ore vein in people's hearts, and turned their attention to the young man upstairs. Moreover, the idea that the brocade-robed boy won this item was a matter of course for many people, and this thought would greatly reduce the elaborate layout of the auction.

"I wanted to keep a low profile, but it's really troublesome......"

There is another person who is equally depressed with Bei Yuanting, that is, the black-clothed young man who made the second bid. For the skeleton of this ancient beast, he was determined to get it, but he didn't care about the face of the one upstairs.

Therefore, in the midst of that noisy shout, the young man helplessly raised his arm and shouted, "Three hundred and fifty-five thousand taels!"

(After all, I don't know who obtained this vein after the most decorated, and listen to the next decomposition.) (To be continued......)
