Under the Medicine King's lead, Tang Zheng and Huang Ziyang walked into the auction center, immediately attracting the gazes of many people. Everyone whispered to each other, trying to guess just who this person was, to actually cause the Medicine King to mobilize so many people.
Tang Zheng glanced at the people seated in the hall. Every one of them had an extraordinary aura. He could tell that they were either wealthy or respectable people.
However, he spotted two familiar faces in the crowd. Qi Shaowen and Old Wei saw him as well. They immediately stood up and walked toward him.
"Professor Qi, you're here too." Tang Zheng greeted them with a smile.
During this time, Qi Shaowen had been researching about the ancient times. This time, he was specially invited by the organizer as a consultant. Given his status in the field of archaeology, with him in charge, it was guaranteed that the antiques auctioned here would be authentic.
Old Wei was indebted to Tang Zheng for helping him to bury the hatchet with Qin Batian. Otherwise, the Thousand-Year-Old Blood Jade he sold to Qin Batian would have cost Li Hongqing her life. If that happened, his antique shop would not be able to continue operating.
Old Wei was very grateful to Tang Zheng. However, during this period of time, every time he asked Qi Shaowen to invite Tang Zheng out, Qi Shaowen would refuse, which made him feel strange.
"Young Master Tang, we finally meet again. I haven't thanked you properly for what you did last time. After the auction is over, you must come. I'll treat you to a meal." Old Wei said warmly.
"It's just a small matter. Don't worry about it."
"It may be a small matter to you, but it's a big deal to me. Old Qi, you're his mentor. Please say a few words for him." Old Wei said.
Qi Shaowen did not agree. Ever since he found out about Tang Zheng's identity as a cultivator, his desire to take him in as his disciple had faded.
Tang Zheng's identity made it impossible for him to focus on boring archaeology work. However, his impression of Tang Zheng did not deteriorate. Instead, he was more interested in him.
"Tang Zheng, you're here for the auction too? What are you auctioning? "Qi Shaowen asked curiously.
Tang Zheng nodded. "We're auctioning off some small items. You'll see later."
Seeing that he was keeping them in suspense, the two of them did not ask in detail. They nodded at the King Of Medicine and Huang Ziyang and returned to their seats.
Although the King Of Medicine was well-known, not everyone knew who he was. At least, Qi Shaowen and Old Wei didn't know who he was, so they weren't as surprised as those who knew the inside story.
After sitting in the VIP seat, the King Of Medicine sat next to him and softly introduced the auction process and precautions.
At this time, the three Young Masters also walked in. They looked deeply at Tang Zheng, and then sat on the other side of the VIP seats.
The organizer went up on stage and said a lot of nonsense before announcing the start of the auction.
This auction was very direct. They skipped a lot of unnecessary formalities and directly presented the auction items.
These auction items included works of art, antiques, paintings, jade, and even medicine. According to the King of Medicine's introduction, many of these medicines were at the forefront of science and technology. Many serious diseases that caused ordinary people to pale in fright also had corresponding medicines to treat them.
However, these drugs were often in the experimental stage and had a certain risk. Of course, they were also extremely expensive and could only be tested on a small scale.
Even so, the auction every year was still very competitive. For rich people who were heavily armed, even if there was a glimmer of hope, they would still rush like ducks.
Seeing the bids being raised again and again, each time increasing the price by millions, they really experienced the life of the rich. To them, wealth was just a number. As long as it was for the goal in their hearts, they would not be stingy with money.
"The next auction item is a gentleman's family heirloom. Because the gentleman is in urgent need of money, he put it up for auction. This auction item is called the Golden Jade Purple Garment. The specific age is unknown, but after the appraisal by our advisory team, it is without a doubt authentic. "The auctioneer introduced.
A purple garment appeared in front of everyone. This garment was very bright and colorful. The main color was purple, but it was interspersed with gold embellishments, which made the color of the whole garment appear more lively.
Purple was a noble color, and it was extremely difficult for ordinary people to wear it. Moreover, this was an ancient garment. Modern people could only wear it at home. Moreover, this was an antique. Even if it was bought, it would be as a work of art. No one would really wear it.
When the crowd saw the Golden Jade Purple Garment, there were obviously not many people interested. Many people shook their heads. The value of antique clothing was lower than other types of antiques, and it was extremely difficult to preserve, so it was not on the list of the bidding targets.
Only a few women were attracted. They praised, "The clothes of ancient times are so beautiful, like clothes worn by gods. It is much more beautiful than the clothes in the fashion week."
"The starting price is five million, and each bid is increased by five hundred thousand." When the auctioneer said this price, there was a burst of boos.
This price was the lowest in an auction of this level. Although the price was low, there were not many people who were willing to buy it.
"This kind of high standard auction, this kind of quality auction item must have come in through the back door." Someone muttered and questioned.
"Let's see who will buy this thing."
The auctioneer looked at the guests expectantly. No one raised their paddle for a long time. He thought that the auction was going to fail. Finally, a woman raised her paddle.
The auctioneer excitedly shouted, "Five million, this lady has bid five million, is there anyone who wants to go higher?"
"This woman is a fashion designer. This must be bought for research." Someone recognized the bidder.
"Only they would be interested in this dress."
After this bid, no one raised their paddle for a long time. Seeing this, the auctioneer shouted, "Five million going once! Five million going twice! "
Just when he was about to shout five million three times, a person raised his paddle and increased the price.
"Five million and five hundred thousand, this gentleman has bid five million and five hundred thousand, is there anyone who wants to go higher?" The auctioneer excitedly said.
Huh? There was really a spendthrift who increased the price.
Everyone looked at the person who raised the paddle at the same time. It was a young face sitting in the VIP seat.
"Ah, isn't this the young man who came in with the King Of Medicine just now? Why is he interested in this dress? "
Everyone murmured in their hearts, especially the three young masters. They couldn't help but sit up straight and stare at Tang Zheng with burning eyes.
When the King Of Medicine heard Tang Zheng's bid, he was also surprised and asked, "Master, why are you interested in this dress?"
Tang Zheng slightly raised the corner of his mouth and said calmly, "I am determined to get this dress."
The King Of Medicine was slightly stunned and didn't know what he meant. He said, "The price of this dress is definitely not very high. If you like it, you can buy it."
Of course, Tang Zheng wouldn't waste a few million for no reason. This Golden Jade Amethyst Dress was worth it. No, it was worth far more than a few million.
Tang Zheng felt the fluctuation of spiritual power on this dress. This was a magic weapon, and a black level one at that. However, this was a defensive magic weapon, not an offensive magic weapon.
Even so, it was still worth a lot of money. It was useless to others, but it was of great use to Tang Zheng.
When the designer saw someone increasing the price, she didn't raise her paddle again. Obviously, in her mind, this dress wasn't worth increasing the price.
When the auctioneer saw this, he thought the auction would be over soon and directly shouted, "Five million and five hundred thousand, going once!"
But just as he finished speaking, a person raised his paddle.
When the auctioneer saw the person who raised his paddle, he excitedly opened his eyes wide and even raised his voice. He shouted, "Young Master Song increased the price by five hundred thousand, is there anyone who wants to go higher?"
If Tang Zheng bid for a small stone that fell into the lake, at this moment, Song Yu's bid was like a big stone that fell into the water, creating a circle of ripples.
Originally, some people were already drowsy, but at this moment, they immediately raised their spirits, held their breath, and looked at the Golden Jade Amethyst Dress again. They wanted to see what kind of treasure this was that it could even make the Song family take action.
Everyone still hadn't seen the reason why, and Ye Ke also raised her paddle.
"Young Master Ye increased the price by five hundred thousand." The auctioneer's voice trembled. This time, the most inconspicuous item actually aroused the interest of the two families, which was really unexpected.
Before everyone could recover from their shock, Yan Liuyun had also raised his paddle. This time, everyone sucked in a breath of cold air, thinking that today's trip was not in vain, to actually see the three great families interested in the same auction item at the same time, there was a good show to watch.
Many people looked at Tang Zheng regretfully. The three families had already taken action, so this person definitely had no hope.
Tang Zheng slightly frowned and glanced at the three people. He only saw Yan Liuyun nodding and smiling at him, and the other two people had a cold face.
Tang Zheng did not hesitate to raise his paddle, and Song Yu immediately raised her paddle. Ye Ke and Yan Liuyun followed closely behind. After that, the four people took turns to raise their paddles, and it became a competition.
Others looked at this scene dumbfoundedly. Was this the willfulness of the rich? For a broken piece of clothing, the competition was so fierce that it had entered a white-hot stage.
The auctioneer was also petrified. He had experienced many large-scale auctions, but there was no such situation. The four people seemed to be determined to get this Golden Jade Amethyst Dress, and they were rich and willful.
"Ten million!" The auctioneer trembled and shouted, this was really like a dream.
Yan Liuyun stood up directly and shouted, "I will bid 20 million, I will give this Golden Jade Amethyst Dress to Brother Tang."
Uh?
Tang Zheng froze for a moment, he did not expect Yan Liuyun to bid for him.
Suddenly, Tang Zheng immediately became the focus of attention. His first bid was 20 million, and it was from the Yan family. This was clearly the Yan family showing goodwill to Tang Zheng.
Many people who did not know the inside story were speculating about what kind of sacred being Tang Zheng was, and how could he be valued by the Yan family?
