Chapter 98

at dusk.

The pale-faced Tang Xiu followed Miao Wentang and the others to the venue of the Bauhinia Auction, Jingmen Island International Business Conference Center.

Eighteenth floor.

There are thousands of tables and chairs in the huge auction site, and one-third of the seats are already occupied. Moreover, there were people rushing in from outside.

The four found a seat at random, and just as they sat down, the service staff at the auction site presented the list of items to be auctioned for this auction.

Tang Xiu sat on a chair, looking at the pictures and text introductions of the items on the list to be auctioned. There were three full pages of this list, and when he finished reading the first two pages, a bit of disappointment appeared in his eyes. Although many of those items were good items, they were of no use to him at all.

Turning to the last page, Tang Xiu glanced roughly at the list, however, in an instant, his gaze froze, revealing an expression of disbelief.

Cracked Stone?

It turned out to be a cracking stone?

If this picture is taken correctly, it is definitely the main material for refining the space ring: the cracking stone.

Tang Xiu's heart beat faster in an instant, and his eyes showed a look of certainty. Originally, he was still a little worried. Tomorrow, when he went to the sea of ​​evil dragons, if he hunted a large ferocious beast, or many large ferocious beasts, how could he transport them back? But if you refine the space ring by yourself, it will definitely not be a problem to bring it back.

"A low price of five million? Each bid must not be less than half a million?"

Tang Xiu thought for a moment, then felt that with the funds he had now, it should be no problem to bid for this fist-sized cracking stone.

Betting against Ye Taifu at the Paradise Club, he won the funds. After deducting the 249 million allocated to Jia Ruidao, he got 250 million. It cost 20 million yuan to buy the materials of the beast corpses, and now he still has a total of 230 million yuan.

"I still have 230 million yuan for the Cracking Stone with a reserve price of 5 million. It should be no problem to buy it for auction. If it is really not enough, I can ask Jia Ruidao to borrow money! When I have money, I will return it to him. .” Tang Xiu thought to himself inwardly.

"Um?"

Just when Tang Xiu suppressed the surprise in his heart and looked at the list below again, he found another useful thing: thousand-year-old wild ginseng.

If it was placed in the Immortal World, let alone thousand-year-old wild ginseng, even if it was ten-thousand-year wild ginseng, he would never lack it. The thousand-year-old wild ginseng was what he used to feed the spirit beasts. But now, it is too precious to him. If he could buy this thousand-year-old wild ginseng, he would have another main material for refining Admiralty Liquid, and the effect of the refined Admiralty Liquid would be absolutely excellent.

"Buy! Be sure to buy it!"

Tang Xiu looked at the quotation below, and his expression froze immediately, with an unbelievable light in his eyes.

"Fifty million?"

The low price of this thousand-year-old ginseng turned out to be 50 million. Moreover, the price increase for each auction must not be less than two million.

Tang Xiu's lips twitched: "If, if I brought all the thousand-year-old ginseng from the medicine garden I had in the fairy world back then, I should be able to buy dozens of earths, right? This price...is really a scam!"

He looked down again, and found that there were several other items that were useful to ascetics, but not very useful to him.

finally!

He locked his target on the cracked stone and the thousand-year-old ginseng. I silently calculated in my heart how much it would cost to get these two things.

"Mr. Tang, what do you fancy?"

After reading the list in his hand, Shao Mingzhen turned his head to look at Tang Xiu who was sitting beside him, and asked in a low voice.

Tang Xiu pointed to the Cracking Stone and the Millennium Ginseng, and said, "I need these two things, so buy them as much as possible."

Shao Mingzhen glanced at Likongshi, feeling a little surprised. Because he didn't know what kind of stone it was,

The auctioneer only explained: rare ore, hard material, suspected of extraterrestrial meteorite. However, the thousand-year-old ginseng made him a little depressed, because he also took a fancy to that thousand-year-old ginseng.

In today's world, thousand-year-old ginseng is absolutely rare, and it has almost reached the point where there is no market for it. Some people have never heard of how many thousand-year-old ginseng is on sale even if they are asking for a lot of money. What's more, let's not talk about thousand-year-old ginseng, even wild ginseng that is more than five hundred years old is very rare now, very few.

"Forget it! Give up on this!"

Shao Mingzhen sighed secretly in his heart, turned around and touched Miao Wentang, and told him the two items that Tang Xiu was going to bid for.

Miao Wentang also fell in love with the thousand-year-old wild ginseng. Like Shao Mingzhen, he finally planned to give up after learning that Tang Xiu wanted it.

As for Master Zi Yi, he is purely here to make soy sauce, even if he likes something, he will not bid for it. It's not that he doesn't want to buy it, but that he is poor, and he can't afford it at all.

Eight o'clock sharp.

Following the auction stage, a young girl stepped onto the auction stage, and the auction hall, which was originally chattering, suddenly fell silent. All eyes were on that young girl.

"Welcome everyone to come and participate in the annual Redbud Auction. This year, the Redbud Auction will be held on our Jingmen Island, and all the items on the auction list will be delivered. auctioneer."

"The items that will be auctioned in this auction, I believe you have seen it from the auction list, and I also believe that you already have items you want to auction. I wish you a lot of harvest in advance and return with a full load."

"I would like to announce that the 21st Bauhinia Auction has officially started. The first item we will auction is a precious antique, a blue and white porcelain vase produced in official kilns in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties. Don't underestimate this The blue and white porcelain vase, the seal on it shows that it was used by the royal family, and it is very likely that it was an item in the residence of the founding emperor of the Qing Dynasty..."

Tang Xiu sat down quietly, listening to the auctioneer's boastful introduction, announcing the start of the auction, and watched the hundreds of guests below who came to participate in the Bauhinia Auction compete for bids. There was a strange feeling in my heart.

As the saying goes: gold in troubled times, collection in prosperous times.

He now deeply understands the true meaning of this sentence. Items were auctioned at high prices, and items were bought at high prices. He had to sigh that there are so many rich people now, and more rich people love to collect. Of course, he has another thought, which is: people are stupid and have a lot of money, so it's meaningless to buy a dead object and keep it at home.

During the two-hour auction, Tang Xiu never made a move. On the contrary, Shao Mingzhen and Miao Wentang each took one shot to buy what they needed.

"Next, the item we are auctioning is a rare ore. This rare ore is made of hard material, and it is suspected of being a meteorite that fell on the earth from an alien space. I believe that this is also a very precious ore with collection value. Maybe it will have room for appreciation in the future , it will be difficult to estimate. Its low price is five million, and each bid must not be less than five hundred thousand, and the bidding begins now." The auctioneer held the cracked stone that was brought up, explained it with emotion, and then announced the bid start.

"coming!"

Tang Xiu's spirit was shaken, and his eyes fixed on the empty cracking stone. He was not in a hurry to make an offer, because after two hours of observation, he had already discovered that few of the people who made the initial offer really wanted to buy, and they were just trying to attract others. If someone robbed them, they would give up immediately. If they rob, they may be able to spend a small amount of money and buy something they like.

"Six million."

A voice sounded, and the sign in the man's hand was raised.

"Six and a half million!"

"Seven million!"

"Seven million and a half million!"

"..."

Soon, the price of this cracked stone has climbed to 9.5 million. However, after that person made an offer, more than ten seconds later, no one made another offer.

The auctioneer had a sweet smile on his face and said: "The gentleman bid 9.5 million, is there anyone who is willing to bid higher? Don't underestimate this rare ore. One day in the future, the value will increase tenfold or twentyfold compared to the present."

"Ten million!"

As the auctioneer's voice fell, another voice sounded.

Tang Xiu took a deep breath, raised his placard and said, "10.5 million."

"Fifteen million!"

That voice sounded again.

Tang Xiu raised his sign and shouted, "Twenty million."

"Wow..."

Everyone in the auction venue turned their heads to look at Tang Xiu, and there was a lot of discussion:

"Who is so rich and stupid? A piece of ore that doesn't know what to use, even if it is a little rare, is not worth 20 million! Could it be that he listened to the tricks of the auctioneer, so he wants to get rich in the future?"

"Purchase a piece of ore for 20 million yuan. What kind of international joke are you making? I think 10 million yuan is high enough. These days, rich people really don't take money seriously!"

"It's a young man, I don't know which family's prodigal junior. If I have such a junior, I will definitely break his legs and let him stay at home and think about his mistakes behind closed doors."

"The young man, you're not interested in the little auctioneer's girl, are you? Do you want to show off your prestige in front of her?"

"It's really interesting!"

"..."

Tang Xiu's hearing is so sharp that he could clearly hear the discussions of many people in the venue, but he still maintained an indifferent expression. He didn't bother to pay attention to those who were blind to gold and jade. Of course, he will not tell everyone the purpose of the Cracking Stone. After all, the Cracking Stone is a treasure in his hands, but it is a blunt stone in the hands of someone who doesn't know how to refine space rings.

The auctioneer took a deep look at Tang Xiu, and asked with a smile, "That handsome guy bid 20 million. Is there anything higher than 20 million? If not, this precious and rare ore belongs to that handsome guy." gone."

There was a moment of silence at the auction site.

Just when the auctioneer was about to make a final decision, announcing that Tang Xiu had won the Cracking Stone, a voice suddenly sounded:

"Fifty million!"

PS: After 12 o'clock in the evening, I will be on the shelves, and then I will face a whole month of monthly ticket battles. I feel a little uneasy. I also invite my brothers and sisters to accompany me to grab the monthly ticket list. Are you ready for the guaranteed monthly tickets for brothers and sisters?
