Chapter 432: Wealthy and Powerful
In fact, the invitation of Beiji Commercial Company is not necessarily just a privilege to enter the auction first. Those who hold the invitation can get a private room on the second floor.
Zhang Ye brought Murong Hongzhuang with him, so naturally he was unwilling to squeeze into the noisy seats in the hall downstairs.
Being taken to the private room on the second floor by the servant, there were all kinds of wine, pastries and cakes. Zhang Ye sat in the seat, holding Murong Hongzhuang with his right hand, and his heart was inevitably a little swollen. This is life.
After a long time, the seats in the hall downstairs were full of people, and a middle-aged man with a big belly came out on the auction table to preside over the order.
"I am Su Tianyou, the shopkeeper of the Arctic Trading Company. I am very grateful for your kindness..." Shopkeeper Su made a few polite remarks and continued, "The catalog of this auction has been placed in your hands. The Ice Flower will be the finale item. The previous items are also not ordinary. Please pay more attention to them."
As the shopkeeper said, although most people came for the Ice Flower, the previous items were not bad either. Many people chose their favorite items and estimated the chips.
Shopkeeper Su stirred up the atmosphere again, and finally said: "Next, the auction officially begins. Please take out our first item."
A beautiful female monk walked up to the platform with a tray carrying an exquisite phoenix hairpin. Shopkeeper Su introduced: "This phoenix hairpin is well-made. At first glance, it looks like the phoenix is about to fly out. It is a top-grade chaos spiritual treasure. If a female monk fights against an enemy, she will definitely catch the enemy off guard and play a good role. The starting price is 10,000 top-grade ice crystals. Each increase in price is not less than 1,000."
Ice crystals are the currency of this ice and snow world. 10,000 top-grade ice crystals is the general selling price of top-grade chaos spiritual treasures.
Most of the people present are immortal emperors. Top-grade chaos spiritual treasures seem to be tasteless and a pity to throw away. There are few reactions. After calling the price several times, it was called out to about 18,000 ice crystals.
This was already much more than the value of a top-grade Chaos Spirit Treasure. No matter how Shopkeeper Su tried to stir up the atmosphere, no one bid anymore. When he was about to announce the deal, a flying sword suddenly shot out from the private room on the second floor and stabbed into the auction table.
A voice said faintly: "I offer a Hongmeng treasure."
The whole audience was silent, and then a roar of thunder and sea broke out: "Are you stupid? You use a Hongmeng treasure to buy a top-grade Chaos Spirit Treasure!"
"From the voice, isn't this the person who used the Hongmeng treasure to buy the invitation before?"
"These days, there are all kinds of people, stupid people with a lot of money!"
...
The shopkeeper Su picked up the flying sword, his face was ecstatic, he earned a Hongmeng treasure with a top-grade Chaos Spirit Treasure, and he had never encountered such a good thing in all his years of business. He immediately announced: "Deal, the Phoenix hairpin is obtained by the buyer of Room 18!"
At this time, a female voice was heard from Room 18: "Husband, what are you buying this hairpin for?"
"This hairpin has a high artistic content. It must look good on my wife's head!"
Hearing this dialogue, the people present were stunned for a long time. Wow, using the Hongmeng treasure to buy a top-grade Chaos Spirit Treasure is just to buy it for a woman as a headdress?
That's right, this strange buyer is Zhang Ye. After getting the hairpin, he put it on Murong Hongzhuang. Murong Hongzhuang was as soft as a pool of water and lay in Zhang Ye's arms. The couple was in love and sprinkled a wave of dog food.
"Okay, let's take out our second item next!" Shopkeeper Su felt that the momentum was good and quickly started the auction of the second item.
However, the subsequent items did not arouse the interest of the local tyrant No. 18. Shopkeeper Su felt a little sorry, but the transaction price was far beyond expectations, so he continued to host it.
After about an hour, Shopkeeper Su took a sip of tea and cleared his throat: "Sorry to have kept you waiting for a long time. Next, the finale of this auction, the Ice Flower, is here!"
"But before I bring out the Ice Flower, I still have to say a few more words. This Ice Flower was discovered by our Arctic Trading Company and mined under the ice that had been there for tens of millions of years. Many people were killed or injured. In addition, as everyone knows, the effect of this Ice Flower is extraordinary. If a peak Heavenly Venerable can take one, it is very likely that he will directly break through to become an Immortal Emperor. Of course, the greatest effect of the Ice Flower is that it can save those monks who have gone astray. Dear guests, if there is someone in your family who has gone astray, the only way to save them is this Ice Flower. Please don't miss it!"
Shopkeeper Su exaggerated for a while, and then ordered his men to bring the Ice Flower.
The Ice Flower was placed in a brocade box, which was a spiritual treasure used to lock the effect of the Ice Flower. When the lid of the brocade box was opened, a rich and cool fragrance instantly emanated, which refreshed people.
The Ice Flower is just as its name suggests, its branches, leaves and petals are like ice crystals. When everyone couldn't help but want to praise it, they suddenly heard a sentence from Room 18: "This flower is really beautiful."
Everyone was shocked. Are you going to buy it for your wife to wear on her head? What a waste!
However, many big forces did not take the pretender No. 18 seriously. The price of this Ice Flower is absolutely terrifying, and it cannot be measured by a few Hongmeng treasures!
Shopkeeper Su felt that everyone had the impulse of a pervert seeing a girl, and he knew that the time was ripe. He immediately said: "The starting price is 10,000 top-grade ice crystals, and each bid range is not less than 1,000. I declare that the auction of the Ice Flower officially begins!"
Everyone was ready to bid, but at this moment, a flying sword of the Hongmeng treasure flew out of Room 18 and inserted into the high platform.
Shopkeeper Su's heart moved, and No. 18 finally made a move, but he said: "Dear guest No. 18, there is no problem with you using the Hongmeng Supreme Treasure to bid for the Ice Flower, but in order to facilitate everyone's bidding, I can only value each Hongmeng Supreme Treasure at 10,000 top-grade ice crystals. What do you think?"
Although Zhang Ye's Hongmeng Supreme Treasure has a higher technical content, 10,000 top-grade ice crystals is the market price, so Zhang Ye did not refute, and a voice came: "Okay."
Shopkeeper Su said: "Dear guest No. 18 bids 10,000 top-grade ice crystals. Are there any other guests who offer a higher price?"
"I bid 11,000!" Someone just shouted, and another Hongmeng Supreme Treasure flew onto the high platform in the private room No. 18. Shopkeeper Su said: "No. 18, 20,000!"
A big force sneered: "I bid 25,000!"
Another flying sword was inserted into the high platform, and Shopkeeper Su roared: "No. 18, 30,000!"
Those forces who originally thought that Zhang Ye was a local tyrant suddenly felt that something was wrong. The degree of boldness of this bid was definitely not that of an ordinary nouveau riche.
"31,000!" Someone bid.
A flying sword stood on the platform, and Shopkeeper Su said, "Number 18, 40,000!"
No matter how much others bid, Zhang Ye would throw a Hongmeng treasure, which beat the powerful forces who were determined to win without any resistance. The price of the Ice Flower rose to an astronomical figure under Zhang Ye's almost rough bid. Many people were defeated and looked at this scene with their eyes wide open.
A powerful force who was determined to win could no longer bear it, and made a desperate bet, shouting, "150,000 top-grade ice crystals!"
"Oh my God, it's worthy of the Zhuge family, rich and powerful!" Everyone praised, and the old man who bid the price was bitter, but he was arrogant and looked like he had won.
But at this moment, in the private room of No. 18, there were suddenly sounds of breaking through the air, and twenty Hongmeng treasures were shot out, nailing a word on the wall of the auction venue: "Handsome."
Shopkeeper Su counted, and shouted again with a hoarse voice: "No. 18 bids a total of 300,000 top-grade ice crystals!"
The whole audience was silent, this was the Hongmeng treasure tonight.
