Chapter 40: Candle Heart Grass
The value of the items in the middle is average, and they are not rare treasures, so most of them are sold at the reserve price. These items can be imagined to be used to fill up, and it is good to have two or three precious items in an auction. The other pure plays the role of throwing bricks and attracting jade, and hangs an appetite.
Although candlestick grass is scarce, it is only an herb after all, and the audience is too small, so it was arranged in the eighth auction.
The host who was on the stage shouted, "The next item is called Candle Heart Grass, which is a rare herb, but it has extraordinary effects, and it is the main one of many pills. Legend has it that the candlestick never grows alone, and is always accompanied by a candlestick beast. Every Candlestick exists to protect the Candlestick, and once the Candlestick is picked, the Candlestick will die. Of course, it is precisely with the protection of the sixth-level Demonic Beast Candle Heart Beast that the number of Candle Heart Grass is so at least, and it is very rare. Well, no more nonsense. Candle Heart Grass: The reserve price is 30,000 gold coins, and each increase shall not be less than 2,000 gold coins. ”
When Lin Tao and Huang Hua heard the host's words, they instantly came to their senses and their eyes widened. After waiting for almost an hour, it was finally time to auction the candlestick. Lin Tao really doubted that if he continued to wait, he would fall asleep.
The host's voice fell, and no one spoke for a long time.
Lin Tao and Huang Hua glanced at each other and breathed a sigh of relief. Judging from the current situation, there seems to be no competition, so the odds of taking the candlestick grass will be greatly increased.
Lounge 3.
A voice came: "Thirty-five thousand gold coins." Although Lin Tao himself didn't have much interest in money itself, you must know that when he was in Van Mill City before, he made a lot of money just by auctioning Yang Yan Dan. But at this moment, 35,000 gold coins were spent at once, and I couldn't help but feel a little pain in my heart.
Huanghua's face was even more swollen/red, 35,000 gold coins, which was a huge amount of money that he had never seen in his life. I didn't expect it to be spent all at once, and my heart hurt for a while. But there is no way, in order to save his wife's illness, no amount of money is worth it in Huanghua's opinion.
"It's crazy...... I thought that only fools would want this kind of thing, but I didn't expect that someone would really want it!" someone in the ordinary area whispered.
"You know what, since people are willing to spend a lot of money to buy it, it must be useful to buy it back. ”
Lin Tao ignored them, looking at the auctioneer who was carrying a small hammer and preparing to fall with a slight nervousness, and shouted in his heart: "Hurry up and count down!"
"Thirty-five thousand gold coins, for the first time!" With the crisp sound of the bell, the auctioneer struck the hammer and counted down.
After that, the auctioneer looked around the auction hall and made sure that no one had raised the price again, so he quickly knocked on the hammer again and shouted, "Thirty-five thousand gold coins, the second time!"
Still no one has raised the price.
When the auctioneer raised the hammer in his hand for the third time and was about to make the last countdown, suddenly a low, hoarse and indifferent voice came: "Thirty-eight thousand gold coins!"
Seeing the cooked duck flying, Lin Tao couldn't help but feel annoyed. Looking at the place where the sound came from, I realized that it was right opposite to VIP Room Seven.
At the end, the price was raised, and the yellowed face was also very bad.
"Thirty-eight thousand gold coins, is there anything higher!"
Lin Tao raised his hand and shouted, "Forty thousand!"
"Okay, 40,000 gold coins, 40,000 gold coins!" the auctioneer shouted excitedly.
The participants on the field all smacked their tongues, and they were all guessing what the identity of the person in VIP Room 3 was. Forty thousand gold coins were mentioned twice in one auction.
They didn't know that Lin Tao at this moment was bitter. He only had 70,000 gold coins all over his body, and he still made it up with a full dozen. Now he has raised the price to 40,000 gold coins all of a sudden, and now he only has 30,000 gold coins available, if the opponent continues to increase the price......
"Fifty thousand!" said again from VIP Room Seven.
Lin Tao changed color, and his eyes slowly looked at the No. 7 VIP room. It seems that the person inside seems to be ready to fight with him, otherwise he would not have raised the price to 50,000 gold coins all at once.
But this candle heart grass Lin Tao is determined to win, this is used to save his life, where is he willing to let go? At the moment, he frowned, and shouted again: "Sixty thousand!"
Suddenly, the audience was amazed. People didn't expect that just a seemingly inconspicuous herb would be auctioned for a high price of 60,000 gold coins, and they couldn't help but wonder in their hearts, is the world crazy?
has reached this point, Lin Tao knows that if he wants to get this candle heart grass today, he is afraid that it will not be so easy to get it without a lot of effort. began to calculate silently at the moment.
Huang Hua on the side was nervously red, rubbing his hands constantly, and his palms were sweaty. He couldn't help anymore in the current situation, or he couldn't do anything about it.
"Seventy thousand!" Lounge Seven called again.
"Oh, I'm so excited! 70,000! 70,000 gold coins!" The auctioneer's voice was a little distorted, his face was excited, and he was silently calculating how much money he could make after this auction.
At this moment, Lin Tao's face completely changed, and a little cold sweat broke out on his forehead. After a moment, though, he calmed down again. At this time, it is completely useless to be anxious, and the situation is out of control. He is bound to win, so no matter how much he raises the price, he can't stop! Even though he only has 70,000 gold coins on him!
"One hundred thousand!" Lin Tao gritted his teeth and shouted out in an almost roaring voice.
People were already numb to the constantly refreshing high price, so at this moment, Lin Tao mentioned 100,000 gold coins at once, and he was not much surprised to frighten his opponent.
"One hundred thousand, one hundred thousand!" The auctioneer knocked on the hammer tremblingly, glanced around the audience, and shouted unhurriedly: "Candle grass, 100,000 gold coins, the first time!"
This time, Box No. 8 was completely silent.
In box eight sat a young man and an old man. Hearing the high price of 100,000 gold coins shouted outside, the young man turned his head to look at the old man and asked him, "Uncle, do you want to continue with this?"
The old man shook his head and said, "It seems that the person on the other side is bound to win." The high price of 100,000 yuan was raised, firstly to scare him, and secondly, to show his determination. Leave a line in your work, and you want to see it in the future. That's all for today. ”
"But, ......"
After the old man waved his hand, he closed his eyes and sat to the side.
At this time, in the No. 3 VIP room, Huang Hua was already an expression that was almost demented, he knew that Lin Tao only had 70,000 gold coins on his body at this time, and now he called the price to 100,000 gold coins, so what should he do with the remaining 30,000 gold coins? Thinking of this, he raised his head and said to Lin Tao: "Are you still going to ask their Luo family for help?"
Lin Tao shook his head and smiled mysteriously, "No, you'll know later!"
When Huang Hua asked again, Lin Tao had already shut up.
On the field, the auctioneer's last two countdowns did not increase the price again.
"100,000 gold coins, the third time!" As the small hammer in the auctioneer's hand "clanged", "Congratulations to the VIPs in VIP Room 3 for obtaining the Candle Heart Grass!"
At this point, Lin Tao and Huang Hua breathed a long sigh of relief, and finally settled down, and the big stone in their hearts was removed.
Now that all the medicinal materials have been prepared, all that remains is to refine the evil elixir.
The next few items were of great value, and there was no doubt that many people were vying for them. And Huang Hua was the only one left in the No. 3 VIP room, and Lin Tao walked out alone just now.
According to the rules of the Luo family auction house, it is generally necessary to wait until after the auction to go to the backstage for delivery. And the only thing that made Huang Hua wonder was how Lin Tao would get the 30,000 gold coins, you must know that this is not a small amount. Thinking of this, Huang Hua felt embarrassed for a while. Unexpectedly, in order to help him, Lin Tao not only paid a sky-high price of 70,000 gold coins, but also owed a debt of 30,000 gold coins.
When all the items in the auction are finished. The audience was about to leave the table, but at this moment, suddenly the auctioneer knocked the hammer in his hand again and shouted: "Ladies and gentlemen, please stay, this auction will temporarily add an auction item, I believe everyone will be interested." ”
"Beauty Pill. It may not be very familiar to those of you who live in Kelsescheng, but in the city of Van Mill in the Slang Empire, don't underestimate this small elixir, it can bring a frenzy of scramble. Its value and efficacy have been proven by countless people. There can be absolutely no mistake. ”
"Someone once used the beauty pill as an experiment, a middle-aged maid over forty years old, who had been beaten by the wind and frost of life and did not look like a person. But after taking the beauty pill, she regained her radiance and now looks like a noblewoman in her twenties. God assures me that I am not lying. Because its first appearance was done by our Roken Auction House. Our auction house will also use its credibility to guarantee the efficacy of this beauty pill!"
"Okay, without further ado, there are a total of three beauty pills, with a starting price of eight thousand gold coins, and each increase must not be less than five hundred gold coins. ”
The participants who were just about to leave the audience couldn't help but stop when they heard the auctioneer's words, looked back at the three crystal clear pills in his hand, and couldn't help but be interested.
The reputation of the Roken Auction House is far and wide, and there are behemoths like the Luo family behind it. At this moment, they guarantee their reputation, it seems that this beauty pill is naturally extraordinary, otherwise they would not dare to laugh at their own signboard.
It's just that it seems to be only suitable for women......
At this time, someone in the audience muttered in a low voice, "Oh my God, it's actually a beauty pill." ”
"You know?"
The lady nodded, looked at the three small pills with an almost fanatical look, and said, "For more than half a year, a distant cousin of mine came to Kersa City to play, and he mentioned this beauty pill to me. And she herself was lucky enough to get one. Three years ago, I was very impressed with her, she was bloated, with freckles and wrinkles on her face. But this time, it was completely different, and the skin was crystal clear, just like a newborn. ”
The voice of these words was not loud or small, but it happened to smash into the hearts of everyone, especially the noblewomen who came to the auction with their husbands.
Originally, they were still in a wait-and-see mentality, but at this time, they first had the credibility guarantee of the Roken Auction House, and the effect of it was said by their own eyes. Suddenly, this group of noble ladies slowly became restless.
