Chapter 55: The Bronze Pill Furnace
"Welcome to our sea auction. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Soon after Wu Chen and the others sat down, a white-bearded old man who was nearly sixty years old slowly walked out from behind the curtain, and then came to the auction table, and said aloud to the people who came to participate in the auction in front of him.
The white-bearded old man fell, and the people who were still talking about it on the seat gradually calmed down.
Seeing this scene, the white-bearded old man nodded with satisfaction, and then said to everyone with a smile: "I will preside over this auction, and I believe that most of the items auctioned have already been learned from the auction brochure." ”
"However, I still hope that everyone can abide by the following rules of our place, and there will be no phenomenon of someone making trouble, otherwise it will be ......" said this, and a momentum of the late innate stage instantly burst out from the body of the white-bearded old man.
Feeling the momentum that erupted from the white-bearded old man's body, the people who came from all the forces in the seat were all shocked, and even Wu Chen, who was sitting in the back, also felt the momentum on the white-bearded old man, which was the strongest one he had encountered so far.
However, even if the other party was in the late congenital stage, Wu Chen did not have much fear.
The shock had an effect, and the white-bearded old man stopped talking nonsense: "Okay, in order not to waste everyone's time, now show the first auction item first." ”
As soon as the white-bearded old man finished speaking, two women in cheongsams walked out behind him, both of whom held a tray with a set of tea sets on it.
"This is a complete set of antique tea sets, so far there is at least a thousand years of history, very collectible, I believe its collection value does not need me to say more, now the auction starts, the reserve price is one million, each time not less than 100,000. ”
After taking the tea set in the cheongsam woman's hand, the white-bearded old man first briefly introduced the items in the auction, and then directly shouted out the reserve price.
"One million and one million. ”
"One and a half million. ”
"Two million. ”
............
As the white-bearded old man's voice fell, there were also many slightly older people among the hundreds of people present who were interested in this tea set, so they broke out the price one after another, obviously not caring about the money.
Under some competition, in the end, this set of tea sets was also auctioned by a middle-aged man in his forties at a price of 9.5 million, and the white-bearded old man was not much surprised by this price, and then took out the second auction item.
"Brother Chen, that person is a family force in our city, a member of the Liu family, and his strength is similar to that of my Mo family. Seeing Wu Chen looking at the middle-aged man again, Mo Ye explained.
"Hmm. After listening to Mo Xie's words, Wu Chen nodded, and then set his eyes on the auction table again, because he was actually just looking at it curiously just now.
The next series of auction items are nothing more than some ancient celebrity calligraphy and paintings and antiques, and there is nothing special about it.
Wu Chen was not very interested in these things, the purpose of his visit this time was to auction the Ding Dan furnace in the atlas, so he did not go to the bidding, but the Mo Xie brother and sister on the side took a calligraphy and painting and a jade ornament respectively.
After some auctions, there were no less than twenty items auctioned at this time, and at this moment, the white-bearded old man also spoke again: "The last item in this ordinary auction is a Ding Dan furnace. ”
Speaking of this, the white-bearded old man took out a bronze tripod the size of an original stool, and then smiled slightly: "I believe everyone knows that the ancient Qin Shi Huang has been looking for a way to live forever, and even pursued the legendary cultivation of immortals, and no one knows whether he finally got his wish." However, it is said that this Danding is from the Shang and Zhou dynasties, and it is spread from the palace of Qin Shi Huang, as for whether it is true or not, whether it can be used to create the legendary elixir, it is not what I can know. ”
"Okay, without further ado, now the auction starts, the reserve price is 20 million, and the price increase cannot be less than 1 million each time. ”
"Sure enough, it's a Ding Dan furnace!"
Before the white-bearded old man finished speaking, Wu Chen noticed the bronze tripod, and his heart was suddenly happy, although this Dan furnace is not a magic weapon, but it is also quite good in other aspects, the only deficiency it has compared to the magic weapon is the lack of texture, so Wu Chen believes that when he reaches the condensation realm, he can also use spiritual fire to engrave the texture for it, and it can also be made into a magic weapon, which is not possessed by many Dan furnaces.
Therefore, Wu Chen believes that it is estimated that it is difficult to find a better one on the earth, and when the time comes, whether it is alchemy or refining, Wu Chen will not be troubled by it, and it can be regarded as a solution to the urgent need.
Therefore, for this Ding Dan furnace, Wu Chen is imperative.
"Twenty-five million. ”
"Twenty-six million. ”
"Hmph, I'll give 30 million. ”
Perhaps after the ignition of the white-bearded old man's words, this bronze tripod also seemed to be dyed with a layer of mystery, and everyone present began to be restless, and the price broke out one after another.
Wu Chen didn't go to ask for the price at this time, but watched the changes on the sidelines, but his eyes kept staring at the Dan Furnace and refused to relax for a moment.
"Wu Chen, have you taken a fancy to this Danding?"
Although he knew that Wu Chen was here for this Danding, seeing Wu Chen's eager gaze at this time, Mo Xie believed that this must be right.
"Yes, this Ding Dan furnace is very useful to me. ”
Wu Chen nodded, then turned his head to Mo Ye and said, "Mo Xie, the amount of money that may be required to take pictures of this Ding Dan furnace is estimated to be not low, and I hope that you can lend me the money you bring with you later, and I will repay it in the future." ”
Looking at the trend of people asking for prices, Wu Chen also knew that the 100 million left on his body was definitely not enough, so he could only borrow it from Mo Ye next to him first, and when he went back, he was trying to earn some money and return it to the other party, as for this favor, he would return it to the other party when he had the opportunity in the future.
"Okay, don't worry, even if you ask for the price, but there is no goal for me to come this time, so I don't have much money on me, and now there is only more than 500 million left, if you want, I can give it all to you first." ”
For Wu Chen, Mo Xie had the intention of befriending him, especially after he learned from his grandfather that Wu Chen sold him the kind of jade talisman that Wu Chen sold to his Mo family, Mo Ye was even more impressed by Wu Chen's strength and mystery, so he was very willing to help Wu Chen this time, and as for the matter of repaying the money, to be honest, he really didn't take it to heart.
"I'll pay 60 million, this Danding, I want it from the He family. ”
While Wu Chen and Mo Xie were talking, the price of the bronze tripod had been called to three times the reserve price, but this was only the beginning, and at this moment it was a thirty-year-old young man who was asking for the price.
"Sixty-five million. ”
"Ninety million!"
As soon as a person shouted out the price, the young man directly called up with a price increase of 25 million.
Seeing this, everyone also knew that this young man had to do with this bronze tripod, and they also knew that this young man came from the power, so suddenly, most of them gave up the competition for this bronze tripod.
"Who is this man?"
At this time, Wu Chen also looked at the young man, and saw that he was also very enthusiastic about this Dan Furnace, and he might be an opponent later, so he asked Mo Ye on the side.
"His name is He Qing, and he is a descendant disciple of a first-class family force in our province, and their family is engaged in medicinal materials, which can almost be said to have reached the point of monopoly in this province, and his strength is very strong, much stronger than my Mo family. Seeing Wu Chen asking himself, Mo Ye told him truthfully.
"One hundred million. ”
Although most people gave up the competition, it did not represent everyone, and the one who was asking for the price at this time was the Liu family who had just auctioned a set of tea sets.
"One hundred and fifty million. ”
Seeing that there were still people asking for the price, He Qing directly increased the price by 500 billion, and then looked at the other party with a proud face, as if he was provoking the other party.
"Two hundred million. ”
Perhaps because of the provocative gaze of the other party, the Liu family also let go, and directly increased the price by 50 million.
"Three hundred million. ”
"Four hundred million. ”
"Six hundred million. ”
At this time, the entire auction hall has been quiet, and everyone is listening to the two of them quote, although most of them paid this price, but they did not do that, because not to mention whether it is useful to get this bronze tripod, and at the same time, it may offend the He family, which is simply more than worth the loss.
In the end, after He Qing shouted out 600 million, the audience was completely quiet, even the Liu family, they didn't ask for any more, presumably their thoughts were similar to everyone else.
When He Qing shouted out 600 million, Wu Chen had almost given up, because with the funds he currently had on hand, he couldn't call the other party at all, so he could only shake his head in disappointment.
"Wu Chen, I also have 400 million here, I can give it to you first if you need it. ”
At this moment, Mo Xinran on the side noticed this scene and spoke.
"Thank you. ”
Although he didn't have a very good impression of Mo Xinran before, Wu Chen didn't pretend anymore at this time, and after taking the card handed by Mo Xinran, he said to the other party gratefully.
"Six hundred million for the first time, six hundred million for the second time, six hundred million for the ....... ”
"Billion. ”
Just as the white-bearded old man was about to shout for the third time, an abrupt voice sounded.
At this time, it was Wu Chen who spoke, and everyone also followed Wu Chen's voice, and then they all looked at Wu Chen with some surprise, and at the same time, He Qing's eyes also looked at Wu Chen, only to see that his face was dark, and when he looked at Wu Chen, his eyes obviously flashed a trace of haze.
"Hmph. ”
He Qing snorted coldly, and he didn't ask for any more price, because although he felt that this bronze tripod was very valuable for research, and his He family also had research on refining medicinal materials, but he didn't have the courage to spend more than a billion yuan to win an unknown thing, and he still looked like Wu Chen was bound to win, so he had to give up.
"Billion for the first time, billion for the second time, for the third time for a billion, okay, deal!"
After seeing that the final auction price of this bronze tripod was one billion, the white-bearded old man was also happy, and it was the first time he had seen such a fierce bid from ordinary auction items, and the final auction price was several times more than expected, and he was in a good mood.
