Chapter Forty-Eight: Steady Gains, No Losses
[At the beginning of the new year, Vientiane is updated, and Xianyun asks you to give you recommendation vote support!]
The next day, the auction hall on the "Yunfei" was already properly arranged, and at two o'clock in the afternoon, Chu Yu, Tang Keying, and Hua Tianxiong walked into the auction hall.
"Those independent grandstands should be VIP rooms. After taking her seat, Tang Keying pointed to the six semi-circular private stands on the second floor of the auction hall and asked.
I don't know what kind of ecstasy soup this girl poured into Hua Tianxiong last night, Xiao Nizi asked, and the latter immediately replied with a smile: "Little girl is so smart, that's right, the six VIP private rooms on the second floor are specially reserved for the six major Xiuzhen families." ”
"Are the six true cultivation families very powerful?" Tang Keying said curiously.
"The eldest grandson family is one of the six great, although the other five families may not be able to compare with the current strength of the eldest grandson family, but it is not far behind. In terms of wealth, if the economic industries controlled by the six great cultivation families are all added together, even the Tianbao Consortium will be slightly inferior; in terms of backing, the worldly cultivation sects that the six major families rely on are all well-known in the Middle Earth cultivation realm, like the Emei faction, the Kunlun faction, and the Heavenly Master Sect...... If it is about cultivation as strength, it is said that there are masters in the six major families who have cultivated to reach the Yuan Infant Stage or above. ”
"Uncle Xiong knows so much. Tang Keying listened with relish.
"Hero, when did this so-called Six Great Cultivation Families come to be famous?" Chu Yu, who was listening, suddenly asked.
"Twenty years ago. Hua Tianxiong recalled.
"No wonder I don't have the impression that the cultivation family can appear cultivators who have reached the Yuan Infant stage, it seems that the cultivation power in the world has really been advancing by leaps and bounds in these years!"
At the same time that Chu Yu sighed secretly, the host of the auction came to the stage to announce the official start of the auction, and the people who were already seated suddenly burst into applause.
After the cruise, everyone was given an auction booklet detailing the lots that will appear at the auction, of course, in order to create a certain sense of mystery, the last two finale lots were not made public, and there were some fragmentary lots that some people went to the auction site to register for after boarding the cruise ship, and did not appear in the auction brochure.
However, even so, there are no less than 200 lots listed in this auction brochure.
At the beginning of the auction, Chu Yu handed the auction manual in his hand to Hua Tianxiong and said: "I have already ticked the few things that need to be auctioned with a red pen, a total of seven things are useful to me, and I have marked the bottom line of the highest bid next to it, if the bidding price exceeds this bottom line, give up, how to bid and bid, you are better than me, I will leave it to you." ”
"Okay. Hua Tianxiong nodded excitedly. Speaking of which, he has a fanaticism far beyond ordinary people when it comes to bidding for refining materials, and at this moment, when Chu Yu handed over this task to him, Hua Tianxiong naturally agreed a hundred times.
After nearly two hours, more than 200 lots recorded in the auction brochure were finally sold, and Hua Tianxiong also successfully purchased six pre-checked lots by Chu Yu, except for a 4,500-year-old snow ginseng The bidding far exceeded the highest bottom line given by Chu Yu, and was finally purchased by someone in one of the six VIP rooms for 20 million US dollars.
During this period of time, Chu Yu was closing his eyes and recuperating, this level of auction was really a bit boring for him, but Tang Keying, a curious baby, had been pestering Hua Tianxiong and asking this and that from time to time, which caused Hua Tianxiong to be very happy and praised Tang Keying for being studious.
"Ladies and gentlemen, there will be a small entertainment program to be held immediately, and the conference will give ten places for everyone to take an object that they think is worthy of participating in the auction for on-site bidding, and all the proceeds will belong to the participants who provide the object, and the organizer of the conference will waive one thousandth of the handling fee. ”
"Of course, since there are only 10 places available, if there are too many items to be auctioned at the same time, Mr. Changsun Miao, the head of the eldest grandson family, will personally appraise the 10 items with the highest value. ”
Just as the host was speaking, a young man in his twenties dressed in a navy blue tuli and a pair of black-rimmed glasses, walked up to the auction table with a smile, "In the next eldest grandson, I would like to thank all friends for coming to the 'Treasure Club' in this world." ”
The appearance of the head of the first Xiuzhen family made the audience can't help but let out some surprises, you must know that the two sons and three daughters of the eldest grandson are already in their twenties, how is it not surprising that the father is so young.
"Uncle Xiong, is that really the eldest grandson confused? doesn't it mean that he is already in his fifties......" Tang Keying shook Hua Tianxiong's arm and said.
"I had a relationship with him eight years ago, at least at that time he was still an old man in his fifties...... Hua Tianxiong was also a little moved, although he always knew that cultivators could reshape their appearance after reaching the Yuan Infant Stage, and their youth would last forever, but it was inevitable to be surprised to witness this statement for the first time.
"Hero, you, Xiaobai, and Feather will all be able to rejuvenate in the next ten years......" Chu Yu, who was originally recuperating with his eyes closed, said softly, and then smiled and said: "This eldest grandson is indeed not simple, maybe he is not a character in the Middle Earth cultivation realm that has escaped from the world, but in the world, it is enough for him to be proud of this cultivation." ”
"Master, what about me, Ying'er also wants to be beautiful and permanent, immortal and immortal!" It is true that women are the most beautiful creatures in the world, hearing what Chu Yu said, Tang Keying immediately leaned over to Chu Yu, blinking a pair of big eyes and pretending to be pitiful.
"Even your master and I haven't recovered to the cultivation strength of the Yuan Infant Stage, what are you anxious about......" Chu Yu has begun to gradually get used to his precious apprentice's coquettish methods, looking at the sky unmoved, and interjecting the topic: "This time we have spent hundreds of millions of euros before and after, and it is time to make up for some losses." ”
As he spoke, Chu Yu took out a few diamond-shaped crystal topaz pieces about two fingers wide from his arms, thin like a cicada wing, and there were a few pale golden filaments hidden in it, which was very good-looking.
"Isn't this the crystal that melted down from that big ball?" Tang Keying said sharply.
"Originally, the value of topaz essence was not too high, especially in the low-foundation mundane cultivation realm, because there was almost no cultivator who could sacrifice the true yuan fire, so that topaz essence could not be divided and melted into jade talismans, and its value was even lower. However, because the few pieces of jade talisman here have been tempered by me with the Five Aggregates True Yuan Fire, and because they have been wrapped outside the Heavenly Crystal Jade Heart for many years, these jade pieces have absorbed a small amount of pure heaven and earth spiritual energy, and once they are refined into blank jade talismans, these qualities will immediately appear, and their value will at least ten or even a hundred times higher than when they were still raw jade. ”
"It's not better to keep such a good thing for yourself. Tang Keying expressed his opinion.
"Now there are two or three hundred similar blank jade talismans piled up in our room...... It's not too ......much to sell a few pieces to make some money," Chu Yu smiled and handed over the eight blank jade talismans made of topaz essence that he had just taken out to Hua Tianxiong, "All of them are listed for 100 euros to participate in the auction." ”
"100 euros!" Hua Tianxiong was stunned but understood, and said with a smile: "I'm not afraid that no one will shout for good things, I'll go ......"
Chu Yu continued to close his eyes and recuperate, and after about half an hour or so, all ten places for the final selected temporary auction items appeared.
After Tang Keying shook Chu Yu's arm and asked the latter to open his eyes to take a look at the ten temporary bidding items, the latter also showed an embarrassed smile, "Hero, didn't you pack these eight jade talismans as one thing to participate in the auction?"
Hua Tianxiong couldn't help but be stunned when he looked at the huge display screen on the auction table and the font of "Best Jade Fu (made of yellow essence jade)" jumped out in a row, scratched his head and said: "Boss, you didn't have a special explanation, and I didn't think about it, but the result ...... As a result, the eight pieces of jade talismans were sold separately as eight lots......"
In this more than half an hour, at least hundreds of people presented no less than 500 pieces of reserved goods to the eldest grandson for identification, one was to show off, and the other was to take the opportunity to make friends with the head of the first Xiuzhen family.
But I didn't expect the final result to come out, eight of the top ten temporary entries were exactly the same, and they were from the same person, because it was a temporary auction, so the name of the bidder was not kept secret, and Hua Tianxiong's name appeared on the display screen.
Since this was the final appraisal given by the eldest grandson, no one present would doubt it, but such a brief introduction to the lot "The Best Jade Fu (made of yellow essence jade)" made most people fail to understand the preciousness of these eight lots.
"There is no reason for a cultivator in the infancy stage not to know the preciousness of these eight superb jade talismans, just by touching the jade talismans, he can sense the precious spiritual energy contained in them, but the introduction of the eight jade talismans is so empty...... There must be another reason for this...... "Seeing the introduction of the lot on the huge display screen, Chu Yu's brows furrowed slightly, and after thinking for a while, he turned his gaze to Duan Zhongyuan, who was not far from him.
"I have something you need help with. "Chu Yu transmitted the sound into the secret passage.
At first glance, when he heard Chu Yu's transmission, Duan Zhongyuan immediately met Chu Yu's gaze on his side, nodded and responded, "What does the Immortal Chief command?" ”
"Later, when you are bidding for those eight superb jade talismans, no matter who bids, you will bid more than one million euros above him, until it exceeds fifty million euros. ”
"Ah!" Duan Zhongyuan was a little flustered when he heard this astronomical figure, after all, their Duan family was only one of the weaker of the many Xiuzhen families, and neither money nor power could be comparable to those major Xiuzhen families, and it would be difficult to get 50 million euros even if their Duan family was bankrupt, not to mention that they had to bid for eight consecutive auctions.
Chu Yu seemed to know from Duan Zhongyuan's embarrassed expression what he was worried about, and said again: "Naturally, someone will have offered the price of 50 million, in case, the money will be paid by me, you just need to quote." ”
In the end, with a hint of apprehension, Duan Zhongyuan agreed.
