"Your terminal is ringing. Don't tell me you're the one who got this flying escape device?" Fo You pointed to the vibrating terminal in Xia Fan's hand and said.
Xia Fan's terminal was indeed vibrating, and the notification that he had obtained a treasure worth 100,000 gold coins would be sent three times in a row to ensure that the winner would not be careless and fail to notice that he had made a windfall.
The notification on the screen showed that Xia Fan had two choices. If he wanted to claim the treasure, after the treasure chest opening ceremony ended, he could find the trading firm's staff at any time and arrange for the item to be delivered to his door.
If Xia Fan did not want this antique space flying escape device, the trading firm would pay 100,000 gold coins and leave the flying escape device behind. Maybe one day, this flying escape device would appear in a treasure chest again, waiting for the next lucky person.
Xia Fan smiled and showed the terminal in his hand to Fo You and Tony.
The two of them quickly widened their eyes, and an incredulous expression appeared on their faces.
"I really got it! This is a treasure worth a hundred thousand gold coins! " Tony shouted with a flushed face. It was obvious that Xia Fan had opened the treasure chest, but Tony was even more excited than Xia Fan.
"It really is you, lucky guy!" Fo You muttered in dissatisfaction.
Fo You did not care about the space flying escape device. It was too easy for the second young master of the Deity and Buddha Clan to get this thing.
What Fo You cared about was Xia Fan's luck. He had bought more than 40 treasure chests and spent nearly 30,000 gold coins, but all he got was a pile of shirts, thermos cups, and other souvenirs. Xia Fan had only bought 23 treasure chests, but he had opened a treasure worth 100,000 gold coins. How could he compare? There was no way!
"I'm rich! I'm rich this time! "Tony shouted excitedly, attracting envious and jealous gazes from the guests next to him.
As the saying goes, one's level determines one's vision. If Tony knew that Xia Fan's space ring still contained 47 level-nine energy crystals, which were worth almost enough to buy an A-grade habitable galaxy, he would probably be shocked to death. In his eyes, 100,000 gold coins was already a huge fortune.
The guests around him who did not know Xia Fan raised their glasses to celebrate. Xia Fan was very polite and raised his glass of juice to express his gratitude.
More than 70% of the people present were businessmen from the region. Everyone had a good impression of Xia Fan, who was young, elegant, calm, and had a bright smile on his face. They all guessed what kind of business he was doing and whether there was a possibility of cooperation in the future.
The treasure chest opening event continued. Two of the four most valuable treasures had been opened, but the peerless treasure still had not appeared. The number of treasure chests that had been opened had already reached 60%. Everyone began to guess whether the peerless treasure would be found.
It was not unheard of for treasure chests to be lost because no one was willing to bid for them. After all, there were an astonishing 72,000 treasure chests present, and not all of them were being bid for.
Humans had always been a very strange species. When it came to gambling, some believed in probability, some believed in lucky numbers. In any case, most humans liked to bet on illusory things.
During the bidding, this kind of thinking was even more prominent. Chests with lucky numbers were sought after by the public and could even be auctioned for tens of thousands of gold coins. Chests with unlucky numbers that were not pleasing to the eye would be left unattended. No one would even bid for the starting price of 10 gold coins.
Moreover, when bidding, there would often be the phenomenon of fighting. If there was someone else bidding for the same box, the two bidders would unconsciously feel that the other party knew the truth. If they did not participate in the bidding, they would miss a great opportunity to make a fortune, and then they would desperately increase the price.
Once people got into this kind of mood, they would become reckless. From a mathematical point of view, the probability of opening a treasure from all the chests was actually the same. Instead of desperately placing bets on one chest, it was better to bid for a few more that no one was interested in.
At 5: 07 in the afternoon, the third treasure chest was opened.
This was an oil painting by a famous foreign artist, Castelmo. This artistic genius had been born in poverty. While working, he had studied oil painting. In the end, he had created the Dream Painting School, which used a lot of bright colors and exaggerated lines. The characters and scenes in the painting were so exaggerated that they could only appear in dreams and not in reality.
Today, Castelmo was still alive. Moreover, he had been hired by the Royal Academy of Arts, the highest art institution in the Sacred Alliance, as a Senior Professor and the Director of the Painting Department. He enjoyed a great reputation both inside and outside the Sacred Alliance.
Like a carp leaping over the dragon's gate, he soared to the heavens in a single bound. Casstello also became the pride of the people of the Outer Realm. His paintings were very popular in the Outer Realm, and rich people were proud to have a collection of Casstello's paintings. After all, he was a hero in the hearts of the Outer Realm.
On the contrary, in the Sacred Alliance, Castelmo's paintings might not be so valuable.
This painting was called Listening to the Sounds of Nature. The lucky person who obtained it was a merchant from the Sacred Alliance. He had dark skin and a large gemstone ring on his finger. His fat neck was wrapped in a gemstone necklace as if he was afraid others wouldn't know how rich he was.
Racial discrimination was everywhere, and the foreign merchants all expressed their disdain. Letting this guy obtain Castelmo's painting was like putting a flower on a pile of dung. How could these vulgar foreign people know what art was?
The foreign people had the right to be arrogant. The two great merchant houses of Fire Beacon City were opened by people from the Sacred Alliance, and the majority of the guests here were also merchants from the Sacred Alliance.
Although the Sacred Alliance was the homeland of the foreign people, the ones controlling the Sacred Alliance were the people from the Sacred Alliance. In business, finance, politics, and war, the foreign people were everywhere. Perhaps this was the sorrow of the foreign people.
Three treasures worth one hundred thousand gold coins had already been opened. Now, only that peerless treasure had yet to appear. The rate of opening the treasure chests was still increasing. Eighty percent of the chests had been opened, and the rest were the ones that no one had bid for. There were nearly twenty thousand of them.
Could it be that the peerless treasure had been lost?
The atmosphere suddenly became tense. Everyone stared at the terminals in their hands. Their palms were sweating, or they were looking at the big screen in front of them where the unboxing was taking place.
Xia Fan was also very nervous. It was not because of the peerless treasure, but because of that core.
In his opinion, that was the most important treasure of the night. Could it be that the merchant house suddenly found out that there was not only an engine but also a priceless core, so they canceled it at the last minute?
Although the merchant house valued their reputation, that was still a legendary core. Breaking a contract because of a core was not something they wouldn't do.
At this time, the crowd suddenly boiled over.
They saw the giant screen in the sky violently flashing, reminding everyone to look over there. Countless people were so excited that they directly stood up.
The screen flashed for an entire minute, attracting everyone's attention. At this time, the image suddenly changed. A bottle of red wine appeared.
"What is this?"
"Don't tell me it's that peerless treasure!?" People asked loudly in surprise.
At this time, the General Manager of the Jiang Family's Commercial Company, He Jinting, picked up the microphone and excitedly said in a booming voice, "Dear friends and guests, please pay attention. The ultimate prize of this Treasure Chest Opening Event has finally appeared!"
"Let me first introduce to everyone. This peerless treasure is a bottle of wine."
As soon as his voice fell, the crowd began to talk at once.
"A bottle of wine? What kind of peerless treasure can a bottle of wine be? Even the most expensive Di Flamini red wine would not cost more than a thousand gold coins, right? "
"Yes, what is the Jiang's Merchant House doing? Wine is just a beverage. Why would they use wine as a peerless treasure? "
"Nonsense, let's listen to what General Manager He has to say. I think this bottle of wine must have a history. Look at that bright red color, it's like blood."
"The bottle is also very unique. It should be made of crystal, right?"
He Jinting ignored the discussions below and only wore a smile on his face.
After a short pause, He Jinting's eyes suddenly lit up. He said in a loud voice, "Everyone, I know you are very confused. Why is the peerless treasure of the Jiang's Merchant House a bottle of wine?
"And I also know that many of you have mountains of gold and silver at home. Even Di Flamini super red wine is used as a mouthwash!"
"Hahaha!"
The crowd burst into laughter. He Jinting was obviously telling a joke. Who would be stupid enough to use Di Flamini red wine to rinse their mouths? This was obviously illogical.
He Jinting continued, "Everyone, let me unveil the mystery for all of you."
"The bottle of wine you are looking at now is not ordinary wine. It is the legendary Wine of Immortality!"
Boom!
The crowd was boiling, but in Xia Fan's view, most people were in a state of confusion. Even if Xia Fan had been trained by a group of old scourges and learned countless knowledge, he did not know what the Wine of Immortality was, let alone these businessmen.
"Oh, the Wine of Immortality. No wonder. This is a good thing. I wonder which lucky bastard got this treasure." Fo You suddenly crossed his legs and muttered.
Xia Fan was slightly stunned. There were definitely not many things that Little Buddha said were good things and treasures.
Fo You had always been indifferent to everything, but today, he seemed to be very jealous that someone had gotten this bottle of Wine of Immortality.
He Jinting said with a smile, "Everyone should know about the Dragon Clan, right?"
The guests continued to nod in confusion. Everyone knew about the Dragon Clan. It was a sacred creature that ruled the Vast Thousand Worlds in ancient times.
The so-called Vast Thousand Worlds did not only refer to the Cangyue Universe. The existence of the Gate of the Universe made people generally think that there were more universes outside, and the sum of those universes was the Vast Thousand Worlds.
It was a pity that the Gate of the Universe could not be opened. Except for the group of monsters that suddenly attacked the Cangyue Universe 40,000 years ago, no one could pass through the Gate of the Universe.
Why did the Heavenly Wings come to the Cangyue Universe? How did they get there? How did they get out? These were the eternal mysteries of the Cangyue Universe.
Seeing that everyone was nodding, He Jinting continued, "According to legend, the Dragon Clan once spread throughout the Vast Thousand Worlds and was the king of the Vast Thousand Worlds.
"And the Dragon Clan is a very large biological system, including the Black Abyss Dragon, the Golden Giant Dragon, the Holy Dragon, and the Light Dragon.
"Below them, there is the Flood Dragon Clan and the Secondary Dragon Clan.
"The Flood Dragon Clan has a similar body shape to the Dragon Clan, but they do not have the Divine Power of the Dragon Clan, so they are called the Flood Dragon, which means that they are second only to the Dragon Clan.
"And this bottle of Wine of Immortality is brewed with the blood of the Flood Dragon!"
Boom!
Tens of thousands of guests collectively exclaimed in astonishment, which could be heard clearly from dozens of miles away.
Everyone was shocked. Wine brewed with the blood of the Flood Dragon? Wasn't that a godly wine?
After all, the Dragon Clan was a mythical existence. Although the Flood Dragon was second only to the Dragon Clan, it was still just below the Dragon Clan and stood proudly above all things!
What kind of person could brew wine with the blood of the Flood Dragon?
Could one become an immortal just by drinking a mouthful of such wine?
"A peerless treasure! It really is a peerless treasure! "
"Brewing wine with the blood of the Flood Dragon? Oh my god, this trip was not in vain. What an eye-opener! "
"The Jiang Family's Trading Company is mighty! To actually bring out such a peerless treasure! Compared to the Jiang Family's Trading Company, the Di Family's Trading Company is completely small. How can it compare to the Jiang Family's magnanimity! "
Such praise made He Jinting very happy.
Why did the Jiang Family's Trading Company organize such a loss-making treasure chest opening event?
Wasn't it just to save face?
The world was big, but a businessman's face was the most important!
Everyone in the Jiang Family's Trading Company was incomparably happy to be able to beat the rival Di Family's Trading Company.
"This Wine of Immortality can make one immortal after drinking it?"
"If it's really that powerful, why didn't the Old Master keep it for himself? Wouldn't it benefit us instead? "
Someone at the scene questioned loudly. Xia Fan guessed that these people must have been sent by the Di Family's Trading Company to cause trouble.
When Majordomo He Jinting heard this, not only was he not angry, but he also laughed.
He said in a clear voice: "According to legend, drinking this Immortal Wine can really make one immortal. Otherwise, it wouldn't have been given such a name. Although immortal is a bit exaggerated, it can prolong one's life and strengthen one's muscles and bones. It is absolutely not lacking."
"We also want to keep such a peerless treasure. If possible, our Old Master would like to drink a bottle of it every day!"
He Jinting changed the subject and said with some annoyance, "Unfortunately, this Wine of Immortality is not something that just anyone can drink. After all, this is a divine wine brewed with the blood of the Flood Dragon. The wine is extremely overbearing. If an ordinary person were to drink it, their intestines would immediately rot and they would die!"
"According to legend, to drink the Wine of Immortality, there are two major requirements."
"First, reach the Eternal Realm!"
* Boom! *
The crowd wailed. What did the Eternal Realm mean?
In the power system, people with superpowers were divided into four stars and three transcendents.
Above the Star Light rank was the Star Base rank, above the Star Base rank was the Star Field rank, and above the Star Field rank was the Galaxy rank.
These ranks all had the word 'Star' in their names, so they were called four stars.
What did the three transcendents mean?
Eternal Realm!
Legend rank!
Immortal rank!
Superhumans who had reached these three levels had long since transcended the mortal realm. They were no longer humans, but had stepped into the ranks of gods! Therefore, they were called the three transcendents.
This bottle of Wine of Immortality could only be drunk after reaching the Eternal Realm?
This was simply bullying. 100% of the people present had not reached the Eternal Realm, and it was certain that they would never reach the Eternal Realm.
Therefore, they were lamenting because they didn't have the fortune to enjoy such a good thing even if they were rich.
Furthermore, they were immortal. Once they reached this level, they would become Gods and possess bodies that would never age or die.
A type of wine that could only be drunk by immortals. Wasn't that the Wine of Immortality?
He Jinting said with a smile, "Everyone can't take it after hearing the first condition?"
"Listen up, if you want to drink the Wine of Immortality, there is a second condition that is even more incredible!"
"According to legend, those who can drink the Wine of Immortality not only need to reach the Eternal Realm, but also need to activate the power of law!"
* Swoosh *
The crowd was stunned again. This group of businessmen was miserable today. They did not understand what He Jinting said at all.
But Xia Fan's heart skipped a beat.
The power of law?
Before the blind grandpa died, he had given him a strange book called the Golden Rule.
It was said that it was the ultimate secret of the Golden Pupils Clan. It was more precious than the remains of their ancestors, more precious than anything else, even more precious than the blind grandpa's life!
Unfortunately, there was not a single word in the Golden Rule!
Every time Xia Fan thought of the scourges, he would take out the book and flip through it. However, he could not understand why the blind grandpa would protect a book with no words at all.
After listening to He Jinting's words today, Xia Fan realized that the power of law seemed to be a more powerful existence than superpowers.
He Jinting looked at the confused businessmen on the lawn and said with a smile, "You don't have to ask me. I don't even have superpowers. How would I know anything about the power of law?"
"Anyway, it seems that the power of law is a more powerful existence than superpowers. But it doesn't matter. For us, people with superpowers who have reached the Eternal Realm are gods. We need to worship them. Those who have the power of law are more powerful gods."
"So, this bottle of Wine of Immortality is something that our grandpa wants to drink, but he can't enjoy it no matter what. Moreover, our family does not have superpower genes. We have been businessmen for generations. I don't think there will be any superpowers in the future."
"In that case, we might as well be generous and give this bottle of Wine of Immortality away!"
"If you are sincere, please spread a good name for our Jiang's business!"
"Everyone here is our important business partner. We value our cooperation with you very much and hope to continue working with you forever!"
"Even if we don't do business for a lifetime, we will be friends for a lifetime!"
* Clatter *
There was a burst of applause.
It had to be said that He Jinting was very good at talking. His words greatly enhanced the goodwill of the customers and his business, making them feel that the Jiang's business was full of sincerity. They could even give away such an awesome Wine of Immortality.
As for the value of this bottle of wine, He Jinting didn't say much, because it was not needed at all.
Although ordinary people absolutely could not drink the Wine of Immortality, such a godly wine could be given to those old immortals who had reached the Eternal Realm.
How much face would it be to give away such a bottle of wine?
After the old immortals drank it, their muscles and bones would be strengthened and they would feel very happy. They would be taken care of by the old immortals in the future!
What did it mean for a businessman to be able to make friends with an old immortal who had reached the Eternal Realm?
That was a great thing that would benefit the future generations!
In this way, let alone ten million gold coins, even if it was one billion or ten billion gold coins, people would still buy this bottle of Wine of Immortality!
The Jiang's business was willing to give away such a bottle of godly wine in the Treasure Chest Opening Event. It was indeed incredible!
Suddenly, there was a rapid drumming sound that made people restless.
He Jinting's voice suddenly rose by an octave and he said loudly, "Now! I officially announce! The lucky person who gets this bottle of Wine of Immortality is. "
"The holder of terminal number 7361!"
* Rumble *
People felt like they were going crazy!
Because everyone clearly remembered that this was not the first time that terminal number 7361 had appeared. Before this, the person who held terminal number 7361 had already obtained an antique space escape device worth 100,000 gold coins!
This time, it was him again!
There was no justice in this world. How could someone be so lucky?
He must be a lucky dog!
After the number was announced, Xia Fan looked at Fo You and Tony.
As expected, these two guys stared at him so hard that their eyes almost fell out of their sockets …
