Competing with each other
The auction went on fiercely. Tang Jin rarely bid, except for buying a few small things for Situ Lingli.
It wasn't that Tang Jin wasn't willing to spend money on himself, but these auctioned items really couldn't enter Tang Jin's eyes.
The auction lasted for nearly four hours, from noon to the afternoon. Only then did the auction come to an end, which was also the time that most people were looking forward to the most.
"Cough, cough. Everyone, everyone, please be quiet. Please be quiet!" Tian Shuo lightly pressed his hand, coughed twice, and said in a clear voice, "The next item to be auctioned is the last item of this auction. It is also the final item of this auction, the magical power magic treasure: Jade Ruyi!"
As Tian Shuo's voice fell, the auction stage that had just descended protruded again. On the protruding stage was a plate with golden dragon carvings. On the plate was the Jade Ruyi that Tang Jin had seen in the illustration handbook!
The jade scepter was one and a half feet long. Its head was shaped like a cloud, and its handle was slightly curved. Its entire body was a flawless emerald green, and it flickered with a green lustre. It was as if it was carved from a piece of top-notch jade, and it was sparkling and translucent without the slightest flaw.
Ruyi was originally named because people had an itch on their backs that they couldn't reach with their hands, so they used it to scratch it. Because of its name, the ruyi gradually became an auspicious symbol and was given a special meaning by people. The head was also made into a "cloud", "ganoderma", and "heart" shape. It became a very precious ornament and valuable, and became a gift for high officials and nobles when they visited each other.
However, it was obvious that this Jade Ruyi Scepter was not for scratching an itch, nor was it for viewing. It was a "magical treasure"!
"Some of you might not know what magical powers and magic treasures are, so I'll give you a simple explanation. Divine Ability Magic Treasures contained divine abilities. Holding a Divine Ability Magic Treasure, one could use the divine abilities contained within. What was a divine ability? In simple terms, a Divine Ability was a mystical skill or technique. Not every Divine Ability would have a powerful attack power, but every Divine Ability would have a special effect of a Divine Artifact. As for what kind of special effect it was? Haha, I don't know. However, according to records, this divine ability can save a person's life at certain times … "
Tian Shuo's extravagant explanation, and the audience below was intoxicated. Most of them had never heard of this magical treasure before.
"Then why did the owner of this magic treasure sell it?" Just as Tian Shuo was talking non-stop, a voice came from the eighth VIP room, interrupting Tian Shuo. It also asked the question that Tang Jin and the others were thinking.
"Well …" Tian Shuo looked at the corner of the hall. The owner of the Baolai House was standing there. Seeing the owner nod his head, Tian Shuo continued, "Our owner got this Jade Ruyi Scepter by chance. He was a hunter from a small town nearby. He had some adventures and obtained this Jade Ruyi Scepter. He went to our Baolai Scepter and sold it. Our boss is a businessman, so he has no use for this item. Therefore, we're going to take this opportunity to sell it to everyone. Whoever has the money will get it. Haha, whoever has the money will get it. Everyone, don't worry. After bidding for this Jade Ruyi Scepter, unless someone else is jealous of it, there will be absolutely no problems with the seller. "
Although Tian Shuo's words were somewhat vague, everyone was not stupid. They all guessed what was going on.
It must be a hunter from a small town near Ziqi City who obtained this Jade Ruyi Scepter by chance. The hunter was not knowledgeable, so he took the Jade Ruyi Scepter to the Baolai Scepter and sold it as an ornament. The boss of the Baolai Scepter was a man who knew his stuff. He could tell that this Jade Ruyi Scepter was a magical treasure, but he had no use for it. It might even lead to some unexpected trouble, so he simply took this opportunity to sell it.
The owner of the Baolai House must have cheated the hunter out of a lot of money. He might have given the farmer a few pieces of low-grade spirit stones or even crystals in exchange for such a treasure. No wonder Tian Shuo was so secretive about it.
However, Tang Jin and the others did not care about this. Tang Jin and the others who were going to bid for the Jade Ruyi Scepter were concerned about the origin of the Jade Ruyi Scepter. Now that they saw that this Jade Ruyi Scepter had a clean origin and would not cause any trouble, they were relieved.
"Since everyone has no more questions, can the auction start?" Tian Shuo glanced at the VIP rooms on both sides. Seeing that no one had any more questions, he nodded and said, "That's good! This Jade Ruyi Scepter is a magical treasure. The starting price is 100 top-grade spirit stones! Each bid must not be more than one spirit stone! The auction starts! "
Hearing the starting price of the Jade Ruyi Scepter, the people in the hall could not help but gasp. 100 top-grade spirit stones? This magical treasure is so valuable!?
In the corner, the boss of the Baolai Scepter clenched his fists, and cold sweat dripped from his head.
He also inadvertently received an ancient book and learned about this magical treasure. He knew about the magical properties of this magical treasure, so he dared to ask for such an exorbitant price. As for whether the price was high or low, and whether there would be anyone bidding for it, he was not sure.
"One hundred and one high-grade spirit stones!"
"One hundred and two high-grade spirit stones!"
"105 top-grade spirit stones!"
After Tian Shuo's voice fell, the hall was silent for a long time. Just when the boss of the Baolai Scepter thought that he had set the price too high, one after another, the bidding sounds rang out. Moreover, judging by the speed and extent of the price increase, there was still a lot of room for it to increase.
Seeing this, the boss of the Baolai Scepter breathed a sigh of relief. After his tense nerves relaxed, he found that his clothes were soaked through.
Just when he was relieved, the boss of the Baolai Scepter became excited again!
How much did he pay for this Jade Ruyi Scepter? Ten pieces of crystal! How much could he earn now? At least a million times, or even ten million times the price!
I'm rich, I'm rich! This time, I'm really rich!
The hall began to nervously bid, but Tang Jin leisurely pulled a stool and sat down. He held a cup of tea in his hand and drank it leisurely.
"Rich man, what's wrong with you? Aren't you determined to get this Jade Ruyi Scepter? " Seeing that Tang Jin was not in a hurry to bid with the crowd, Situ Lingli could not help but ask curiously with her eyes wide open.
Tang Jin smiled faintly as she listened to the bidding outside. Seeing the frenzied appearance of the crowd, she shook her head and said, "Let them play for a bit first. This is just the beginning. The real auction has not started yet. They want to buy a magical treasure with this little money? Hehe, don't be fooled by the fierce competition now. They are just playing small roles. The real show has not started yet. "
"This little money? It hasn't started yet? " Hearing the bidding sound of "186 top-grade spirit stones", Situ Lingli could not help but feel a little dizzy.
Situ Lingli grew up in the sect and did not spend much money. She only thought that a few low-grade spirit stones were not a small amount. Now that she saw hundreds of top-grade spirit stones being thrown out, she could not help but feel that her knowledge had been broadened.
This was "little money" in Tang Jin's mouth? It hasn't started yet? Then this magical treasure is too valuable, isn't it?
As if to verify Tang Jin's words, the price of spirit stones rose very quickly. In just half an hour, it rose to 332 top-grade spirit stones.
When the price reached 332 Upper Grade Spirit Stones, the rising rate of the Spirit Stones slowed down, and some of the VIPs who had been silent all this time began to bid one after another.
"Four hundred top-grade spirit stones!"
Finally, Room 1, who had not spoken until now, spoke. From 384 top-grade spirit stones to 400 top-grade spirit stones, a total of 16 top-grade spirit stones were added at once!
The sound of bidding at the scene came to an abrupt end, and the hall also quieted down.
"Four hundred, four hundred top-grade spirit stones! Four hundred! " Tian Shuo was so excited that his tongue trembled a little, and his body trembled as he asked, "Is there any higher than this? Four hundred spirit stones going once, four hundred spirit stones going twice, four hundred spirit stones going … "
"Five hundred spirit stones!"
Finally, Tang Jin's faint voice came from the room. His voice was neither soft nor loud, but it exploded in the ears of everyone in the hall!
Four hundred to five hundred, a total of one hundred top-grade spirit stones higher! Who on earth was in VIP Room 11?!
Everyone's eyes were fixed on Tang Jin's room, and they only felt that their breathing was stagnant.
One hundred top-grade spirit stones, ten thousand mid-grade spirit stones, and one million low-grade spirit stones. Some of them might have never seen so much money in their lives!
"Five hundred and one spirit stones." The voice from VIP Room 1 paused, as if he was also shocked by Tang Jin's bid, but he still calmly bid.
"Six hundred spirit stones."
"Six hundred and one spirit stones."
"Seven hundred spirit stones."
"Seven hundred and one spirit stones!"
Tang Jin began to compete with the person in VIP Room 1. Both of them were still increasing the price. Tang Jin raised the price by one hundred spirit stones each time, while the person in VIP Room 1 only increased the price by one spirit stone each time.
However, when the price reached seven hundred spirit stones, Tang Jin's voice was still steady. The voice of the person in VIP Room 1 was already a little panicked. It seemed that Tang Jin's price was approaching his limit.
"Eight hundred spirit stones."
Tang Jin's voice was like thunder, and it shook the hearts of the people in the hall. Everyone's eyes were fixed on VIP Room 1, hoping that the person in VIP Room 1 would continue to increase the price.
"Eight hundred top-grade spirit stones? Hmph, I hope you can really take out so much money! " The person in VIP Room 1 did not continue to bid. Instead, he gnashed his teeth in anger, which contained his hatred for Tang Jin.
Perhaps he did not know who Tang Jin was. He only hated the person in VIP Room 11 who was bidding with him. Of course, it was all the same.
"Well, eight hundred top-grade spirit stones. Is there any higher price than eight hundred top-grade spirit stones? Once, twice, thrice! Sold! This Jasper Ruyi is sold to the VIP in VIP Room 11 at the price of eight hundred top-grade spirit stones! "
Tian Shuo quickly finalized the price, as if he was afraid that Tang Jin would change his mind.
However, just after Tian Shuo finalized the price, the owner of the Baolai House rushed up and grabbed the Jasper Ruyi in his hand. He ran to Tang Jin's VIP Room and began to knock on the door.
