Chapter 231: The Auction Begins
As Cheng Jun's words fell, everyone who was still whispering immediately sat upright, and the originally noisy venue also returned to quiet.
Seeing that everyone was quiet, Cheng Jun looked around and smiled slightly.
"Fellow Daoists, today is the small auction of Jiuli Auction House once a month. As is customary, I would like to introduce you to the rules of the auction. ”
"First, it is forbidden to inquire about the owner of the lot. As we all know, our auction house not only acts as an agent for the owner of the consignment items, but also absolutely protects their safety, which is also the foundation of our Jiuli Auction House! Therefore, if someone violates this article, our Jiuli Auction House will definitely fight with him!"
Cheng Jun paused, looked around the field for a week, and continued to speak.
"The second rule is that private fighting is not allowed in the auction house and outside the auction house. Otherwise, you won't be killed!"
After Cheng Jun finished speaking, a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes.
"Article 3, the auction price shall not be falsely declared. In other words, you must have enough spirit stones to make an offer, and if you win the bid but you can't get that many spirit stones...... Then, let's fill it with my life!"
Cheng Jun's words fell, and many people in the audience felt cold all over their bodies.
Wang Xuan smiled slightly, and said secretly in his heart: "This Jiuli Auction House is really domineering, no wonder it can do so much......"
While Wang Xuan was thinking about it, Cheng Jun coughed and hugged his fists again.
"Okay, the rules, the main thing is that there are so many, I hope everyone can follow them. Now, let me introduce you to the first lot. ”
After Cheng Jun finished speaking, he took out a white compass, and after making a complex seal with his right hand, he pointed towards the compass. The compass suddenly shone brightly, forming a light curtain the size of three zhang. Everything on the high platform is displayed on the light curtain, so that the people around can see it clearly no matter where they are.
Then, Cheng Jun beckoned, and a handsome woman wearing a rather revealing pink shirt and a hot figure walked up to the stage with a small wooden box.
Cheng Jun took the wooden box and didn't open it immediately, but smiled slightly: "Since the annual auction is getting closer and closer, there are a few things in this auction that are really good." For example, this one, even I am quite excited!"
Originally, according to the usual practice, the first auction item at each auction was quite good, and Cheng Jun said so, which whetted the appetite of everyone in the audience.
After Cheng Jun finished speaking, he gently opened the wooden box, revealing the contents inside, and at the same time appeared on the light curtain.
Many of the people in the audience let out inhales, and even a few rooms on the second floor let out a soft sigh.
Wang Xuan looked at it, and saw that what appeared above the light curtain was a short sword with a black body. The short sword was engraved with countless purple incomparably complex runes, emitting a faint purple light.
Wang Xuan looked at those runes, as if they were somewhat familiar, thought for a moment, and his eyes burst with a fine light.
"This short sword is a demon thing!"
Wang Xuan finally remembered that the runes on it were the same as those on the animal bones used by Liu Tao and Sun Hai that he had seen.
Since it was certain that it was a demon thing, Wang Xuan's interest in it decreased a little. Because as far as Wang Xuan knew, this demon thing must be driven by the spell of the demon race, without the spell, even if this sword is extraordinary, it is just a dead thing, and it is far from being able to exert its maximum power.
Wang Xuan was thinking about it, Cheng Jun coughed and said: "This thing was obtained by the Taoist friend who sent it from an ancient ruin, I don't know what it is, but I think the runes depicted on it are very exquisite, if you can understand one or two, it will definitely make the rune art improve by leaps and bounds." However, according to Wu Lao of our auction house, this item should be the property of the immortal clan in ancient times. Since it is a thing of the immortal clan, the price is naturally expensive, and the reserve price of this thing is 50,000 spirit stones!"
Wang Xuan smiled when he heard this, closed his eyes, and stopped paying attention.
And the others were in an uproar when they heard Cheng Jun say this.
"It's actually an immortal thing! This thing, I'm going to decide!"
"I want this thing, don't rob it with me!"
"Brother Yu, what do you want this to do? You don't study the art of runes. Is it okay to give me this thing? Zhang Mou admits your love ......"
Wang Xuan looked at it, and a middle-aged man said with a smile at a young man beside him.
"Brother Zhang, since you want it, Yu Mou will give it to you......"
The young man surnamed Yu smiled and nodded in agreement.
Listening to the discussion of the people below, Cheng Jun's face showed a smile.
The more interested the people below are in this short sword, the higher the final price will be, the commission obtained by Jiuli Auction House will naturally be high, and his own bounty will naturally be high, so why not do it......
Thinking of this, Cheng Jun pressed his hands and said loudly: "Everyone, be quiet!
As Cheng Jun's words fell, there was silence for a moment in the whole auction, but then there was a commotion.
"120,000, I'll give 120,000!"
In the back row of the northeast corner, a middle-aged man in a green shirt held up a token and shouted the price.
Cheng Jun smiled slightly, "Okay, the three hundred and sixty-fifth guest bid 120,000!"
Wang Xuan shook his head with a wry smile, and said secretly in his heart: "From the reserve price of 50,000 yuan to 120,000 yuan, these people are really rich......
"130,000! Although I don't know this thing, this young master just likes it!"
"One hundred and three guests bid 130,000!"
With the quotation of a young man dressed in brocade, Cheng Jun's voice also sounded at the right time.
"180,000! This thing is going to be decided!"
At this time, the middle-aged man surnamed Zhang also raised the token in his hand.
"The thirty-eighth guest bid 180,000 yuan, is there anything higher than this?"
"Is there any?180,000 ...... for the first time?"
"180,000 for the second time!
At this time, a calm voice came from behind Wang Xuan.
"Two hundred and fifty thousand. ”
Wang Xuan looked back and saw that it was a man dressed in black, wearing a hat, covering his entire face, and he couldn't see clearly.
"Okay! The one hundred and ninth guest bid 250,000 yuan, is there anything higher than this?"
The black-clothed man's voice fell, and everyone present suddenly fell silent. Although this short sword looks very good, two hundred and fifty thousand is really a bit high, Cheng Jun shouted three times in a row, but no one bid again.
In the end, the short sword was bought by the man dressed in black for 250,000 spirit stones.
Cheng Jun looked at the people present and said loudly: "Everyone, here is the second item." This thing is a little peculiar, and it is a little ashamed to say that no one in our Jiuli Auction House knows this thing. I hope that all the Taoist friends here can recognize it. ”
After speaking, Cheng Jun beckoned, and a beautiful woman in yellow walked up to the high platform with a tray covered with red silk.
Cheng Jun lifted the red silk covering the tray, and the contents of the tray were clearly revealed on the light curtain.
There was silence in the auction room.
Wang Xuan subconsciously looked up, his face changed greatly, and a big wave was set off in his heart!
