"Hello, everyone."
A person walked out from behind the wall behind the auction stage. Under the illumination of the lights, he looked at the densely seated participants with a smile on his face and said, "Thank you, everyone, for taking time out of your busy schedules to participate in this impromptu auction!"
Looking carefully.
The person on the stage was the middle-aged manager in charge of arranging this auction.
"I've kept everyone waiting."
The middle-aged manager smiled and said, "I announce that the auction will now begin. Please, the auctioneer."
After that.
A young man wearing a professional auctioneer's uniform walked onto the stage. The middle-aged manager also took the opportunity to return to the backstage.
"Ladies and gentlemen, good morning."
The auctioneer first bowed to everyone in an extremely gentlemanly manner, then said, "Welcome to this auction. I am Li Jun, a registered auctioneer in Huaxia. I am very honored to be in charge of today's auction. At the same time, I hope to bring good luck to everyone."
"Next, I will announce the rules of today's auction."
"First of all, we will be holding an auction of all kinds of weapons today. There are a total of 50 weapons in this auction. Among them, there are 35 swords, 3 sabers, 1 pair of claws, and 1 dagger. Among them, 31 are ordinary weapons from Hundred Refined to Thousand Refined, and 19 are treasures."
"Today, we will be increasing the number of items in the auction. Everyone is very clear about the rules of the auction, so I won't say much."
"Next, let's welcome the first item to the stage!"
As the auctioneer's voice fell.
Backstage, a woman in professional attire immediately walked out. She was holding a small weapon rack with a long sword on it.
"This sword is called Hidden Dragon."
The auctioneer pointed at the sword with a smile and said, "This is a Thousand Refined weapon. Not only is it suitable for refining the hand, but it is also suitable to be worn and nurtured all year round. The body of the sword, including the hilt, is made of Thousand Refined steel. It was forged by a famous master blacksmith in Longquan City using a secret method. Not only is the blade sharp, the overall flexibility is also extremely good. If one's strength exceeds 500 kilograms, one can cut through steel with a swing!"
Hearing this.
There were some whispers in the auction hall.
It seemed that many people had taken a fancy to this sword.
After all, although most people came here for the Grandmaster Sword, how many people could afford it? It was already good enough to take a look. Other than those large forces, some solo cultivators who came to the auction alone could only look at low-grade swords and ordinary long swords.
"The starting price for this sword is 50,000, and each increment is 10,000."
As soon as the auctioneer finished speaking, someone immediately started bidding.
"F * ck, a sword for 50,000?"
He Gaoming was dumbfounded.
"This is already very little."
Fang Qiu shook his head and said, "Even Long Qiyun's crafting fee is 500,000. This sword doesn't seem to be made by a famous person. Otherwise, the starting price wouldn't be so low."
"That's true."
He Gaoming nodded and said, "Although the sword is very expensive, the quality of the sword itself is also very important. If the quality is not good, the price will definitely be greatly reduced."
"Sigh, if I had known earlier, I would have gone to learn how to forge iron and swords. Why did I have to be a detective?"
Fang Qiu was speechless.
Looking at the first row, he saw that the Four Great Families, the Gong Family, and the dozen or so middle-class families didn't have the slightest desire to bid. Instead, they were all leisurely enjoying the tea that the waiters brought them.
On the auction platform.
The first item was successfully sold at a final price of 130,000 yuan.
"It seems that everyone is blind."
Fang Qiu muttered.
Then, the second, third, fourth, and fifth items were all ordinary items.
Together, the four items were sold for exactly 500,000 yuan. When it came to the sixth item.
The auctioneer's voice suddenly became louder.
"The next item is a treasured sword."
The auctioneer introduced and said, "Let's welcome the sixth item."
"Sword?"
As soon as everyone heard this word, they immediately cheered up and focused their attention on the auction platform.
"This is a fifth-class sword!"
After the weapon was put on the stage, the auctioneer began to exaggerate.
Obviously.
This was one of the two fifth-class long swords that Fang Qiu entrusted the auction house to auction.
Hao Wuwu asked.
The appearance of the first sword immediately aroused the competitive desire of many people.
Especially those fourth-class Martial Superiors who couldn't break through for a long time, they stared at this opportunity and wanted to get the fifth-class sword.
As a result, after a round of bidding, the bidding price of the first sword was finally set at 1.7 million.
It was two hundred thousand more than what he had expected.
Subsequently.
Some ordinary weapons were put on the stage again.
During this time, the second fifth-grade treasure sword also went up on stage at the right time. This time, because it was specially marked as the last fifth-grade treasure sword, the final price was one hundred thousand more than the previous one, reaching a high of 1.8 million.
The two fifth-class swords were sold for 3.5 million yuan.
In general, what Fang Qiu imagined and the middle-aged manager expected was a full 500,000 yuan higher!
This made Fang Qiu very satisfied.
Even the fifth-class sword could be sold at such a high price, then the big guys who were going to be put on the stage would obviously be even more unexpected.
"Master, you've made a lot of money this time."
He Gaoming whispered in Fang Qiu's ear, "I thought it would be good if a fifth-class sword could be sold for one million yuan. I didn't expect it to be sold at such a high price."
"Isn't it good to sell it at a higher price?"
Fang Qiu rolled his eyes at He Gaoming.
He was not surprised that He Gaoming knew that these swords were his because when he was forging in the Long Family, He Gaoming secretly took one.
That was the sixth-class sword that Fang Qiu made.
Thinking about it.
He Gaoming already knew it.
"Hey hey, master, you didn't make the Guru Sword, did you?"
He Gaoming asked in a low voice.
Fang Qiu ignored him.
He Gaoming smiled bitterly.
He knew that Fang Qiu wanted to sell weapons for money, and he also knew that Fang Qiu could forge a sword with aura. But the only thing he didn't know was whether Fang Qiu was the one who forged the guru sword. Until now, he was still not sure.
"The next item is a treasured sword!"
After selling a few ordinary weapons, the auctioneer raised his voice again.
"A sixth-class sword!"
When the sword was put on the stage, the auctioneer said directly, "The starting price of this item is three million yuan, and each increase is not less than 100,000 yuan!"
As soon as he finished speaking.
"Beep!"
A sound sounded.
The auctioneer stared at a display on the auction stage, which showed the seating map of the entire auction house. Once someone increased the price, the seat of the bidder would light up in red, and the seat number and the bidding price would pop up next to it.
"Row 61, No. 8, offers 3.1 million yuan."
"Row 96, No. 72, offers 3.2 million yuan."
"Row 100, No. 56, offers 3.3 million yuan."
The auctioneer's voice kept sounding.
At this moment.
Everyone began to enter the real auction competition.
"Master, do you want to stir the water?"
He Gaoming asked with a shifty smile.
"If you have money, I don't mind."
Fang Qiu said.
"Forget it."
He Gaoming smiled bitterly.
He didn't have money. The price was more than three million yuan. Even if he lost his underwear, he couldn't afford it.
Here.
Fang Qiu didn't mean to bid.
After all, this was the first sixth-class sword, and the real valuable ones were still to come. If he bid from the beginning, it would be easy to be suspected by others.
Soon.
The auction of the first sixth-class sword ended.
The final price fell to four million yuan.
This price was similar to Fang Qiu's expectation. Because there were no big forces and even small and medium forces didn't intervene in the competition, it was a good price to sell it at this price.
Then.
Just as everyone was looking forward to the second sixth-class sword, a pair of ordinary iron claws appeared on the stage, which disappointed many people who were full of expectations.
The auction continued.
After selling a few more ordinary weapons.
Seeing the atmosphere at the scene sinking again, the auctioneer clapped his hands and said, "It seems that all the distinguished guests at the scene like the ordinary weapons prepared by our auction very much. They were all sold out accidentally. Next, only the precious weapons can be auctioned."
Hearing that.
Many people were cursing in their hearts.
What did he mean by like?
Auctioning those ordinary weapons was simply a waste of time!
However.
While cursing in their hearts.
Everyone began to perk up.
After the ordinary weapons were sold out, all the next ones were precious swords!
The real time to fight for them had come!
"Okay, let's cut the crap."
The auctioneer waved his hand and said, "Let's welcome the next auction item."
Hearing that.
A staff member immediately carried a wooden sword rack and walked out.
Seeing the long sword on the rack in the staff's hand.
Everyone at the scene was surprised.
Fang Qiu was also surprised.
Because on this rack, there were actually two long swords!
"Distinguished guests."
After the staff placed the rack on the display table, the auctioneer said excitedly, "You're right. The auction items this time are two precious swords!"
"These two swords are both sixth-class and have been appraised by our Chic Cloud Pavilion. You can bid with confidence!"
"I won't say more about the benefits of sixth-class swords."
"Now I announce that the base price of this auction item is six million, and each bid increase shall not be less than 100,000!"
"The auction begins!"
The auctioneer knocked the small wooden hammer on the auction table symbolically.
This time.
Some small forces couldn't hold back.
A sixth-class sword might not be of much use, but two swords would be of great use to some small forces.
"Beep, beep, beep …"
A series of bidding sounds rang out.
"Row 73, number 5, 6.8 million!"
In the blink of an eye, the bidding price increased by 800,000, and the price was still rising.
6.9 million.
7 million.
7.2 million.
7.5 million.
After the price rose all the way to 7 million, the number of people bidding suddenly began to decrease gradually. When it reached 7.5 million, no one competed.
This scene made He Gaoming, who had been watching the auction all the time, anxious. He quickly turned his head to stare at Fang Qiu and said, "Master, these people are going to make trouble. A sixth-class sword was sold for 4 million, and now two sixth-class swords are only 7.5 million. No one is going to bid?"
"Let's wait and see."
Fang Qiu frowned.
He didn't want to encounter such a situation, but if he did, he would rather not sell the swords!
Anyway, there was no handling fee. If he bought it himself, it was the same as not selling it.
