Shen Luo couldn't help but grin. This Mystic Tortoise Shell was really expensive. The starting price was the same as a top-grade Celestial Artifact.
When everyone present heard this, most of the people who were ready to make a move gave up. There were quite a few people who could take out three hundred celestial jades, but that was only the starting price. The true final price was obviously far more than that.
Although they thought it was too expensive, some people didn't. Immediately, a rich man made a move. After several rounds of bidding, the price of the Mystic Tortoise Shell was pushed to 500 Celestial Jades.
The bidder was a short and fat man in luxurious clothes, who suppressed all the other voices.
The short and fat man gnashed his teeth. Obviously, he had put all his money on it.
"550 Celestial Jades!" A voice sounded.
It was General Jin Kui who finally made a move. He increased the price by 50 Celestial Jades at once.
The short and fat man's body trembled. He was like a deflated ball, paralyzed on the spot.
"Hehe, Fellow Daoist Jin is also interested in this Mystic Turtle Shell. Since that is the case, I will also join in the fun. Five hundred and eighty immortal jades." Sleeping Moon Resident laughed and raised his hand.
"600 Celestial Jades!" General Jin Kui seemed to value the Mystic Tortoise Shell very much. He immediately increased the price.
"The Tang Empire is rich and powerful, but I also have some money. 650 Celestial Jades." Sleeping Moon Resident opened his folding fan and said with a smile.
At this moment, the other people in the venue quieted down. No one made a move. They quietly watched the two people compete.
"800 Celestial Jades!" General Jin Kui didn't hesitate. He increased the price by 150 Celestial Jades at once, which shocked everyone present.
Sleeping Moon Resident's face also darkened.
"I must get this Mystic Tortoise Shell. If Fellow Jin Kui wants to increase the price, you can do it. But don't go bankrupt." General Jin Kui said lightly.
"You want me to go bankrupt? It's still early. 900 Celestial Jades. "Sleeping Moon Resident laughed and seemed to be a little angry.
"1,000 Celestial Jades!" General Jin Kui frowned and increased the price again when he saw that Sleeping Moon Resident didn't retreat.
"1,500 Celestial Jades!" A cold voice suddenly sounded. It was Fairy Qinghua who had been silent all this time. She directly crushed General Jin Kui.
When everyone heard this, they all sucked in a mouthful of cold air. The Red Hand Daoist on the stage was also stunned. The entire venue was silent for a while before people started whispering.
"One thousand five hundred immortal jades? Fellow Daoist Qing Hua is generous. Although this Mystic Tortoise Shell is precious, it doesn't have a lot of weight. Is it worth so much? "General Jin Kui said coldly.
"Whether it's worth it or not depends on the individual. If Fellow Daoist Jin Kui wants this item, you can continue to raise the price," Fairy Qinghua said in a calm tone.
"Hehe, I'm not a fool. Since Fellow Daoist Qing Hua wants this treasure and has even offered a high price of 1,500 Immortal Jades, how could I not fulfill your wish?" General Jin Kui chuckled and stopped bidding.
Sleeping Moon Resident raised his eyebrows and didn't say anything else.
On the stage, a trace of joy flashed through the Red Hand Daoist's eyes. The price set by the Xuan Yuan Pavilion for this Mystic Tortoise Shell was around 1,000 Immortal Jades. Now, it was auctioned for 1,500 Immortal Jades.
According to the rules of the Xuan Yuan Pavilion, if these auction items exceeded the predetermined price, the auctioneer would receive a 10% commission, which was a total of 50 Immortal Jades.
This was not a small fortune.
Seeing that no one else was bidding, the Red Hand Daoist was about to announce the ownership of the Mystic Tortoise Shell.
"2,000 Immortal Jades!" A voice suddenly sounded. It was neither General Jin Kui nor Sleeping Moon Resident. Instead, it came from a corner of the venue.
The entire venue was silent. Then, everyone turned their heads to look.
The person who spoke was a cultivator wearing a large black robe. His entire body was covered and his appearance couldn't be seen. His voice was also unclear, making it impossible to tell whether he was a man or a woman.
Everyone was discussing and guessing the origin of the black-robed person.
After the black-robed person bid, he calmly sat there as if he didn't see the gazes of the people nearby.
Female Immortal Qinghua frowned and deeply stared at the black-robed person. Then, she closed her eyes and didn't bid again.
On the stage, the Red Hand Daoist's face was almost unable to hide the joy on his face. His flushed face was flushed with excitement. He forcefully pinched his fingers and forced himself to calm down. Then, he repeated the price twice according to the rules.
Sure enough, no one in the venue bid again.
Seeing that no one responded, the Red Hand Daoist announced the ownership of this treasure.
This round of the auction was full of twists and turns. Everyone in the venue cheered. Although the auction was over, they were still secretly discussing.
The Red Hand Daoist waited for a while before proceeding to the next round of the auction. He took out a foot tall red wooden box and placed it on the auction stage.
When he opened the wooden box, there was a transparent white crystal ball inside. It was unknown what it was made of, but in the center of the crystal ball was a burning golden flame.
Although separated by the white crystal ball, a scorching aura was still transmitted.
"Spirit Fire!" Someone immediately recognized the origin of the golden flame.
Shen Luo suddenly sat up straight and stared at the item on the stage.
"The next item is also a treasure. Some fellow daoists have already recognized it. Yes, this golden flame is the Golden Sun Profound Fire." The Red Hand Daoist introduced.
"The information of the Jubao Hall is really accurate. Miss Ma, thank you." Shen Luo nodded to Ma Xiuxiu.
"Our Jubao Hall has some influence in Chang 'an City. It's not difficult to inquire about some information. Next, it depends on Young Master Shen's background." Ma Xiuxiu chuckled.
Shen Luo nodded silently. He secretly adjusted his breathing and calmed his mind, preparing for the upcoming bidding.
"The Golden Sun Profound Fire is ranked 37th on the Mortal Fire List. It is a pure Yang Spirit Fire. It specializes in restraining Yin Ghost Qi. It is also very suitable for alchemy and refining tools. The starting price is two hundred immortal jades." The Red Hand Daoist announced.
"Two hundred and ten immortal jades!"
"Two hundred and twenty!"
"Two hundred and thirty-five immortal jades!"
The Golden Sun Profound Fire's reputation was not small. Before Shen Luo made a move, some people had already bid one after another. The price soared to two hundred and seventy immortal jades.
Shen Luo was anxious. If this continued, he did not know how much the price would rise.
"Three hundred immortal jades!" He immediately raised the jade card in his hand.
Shen Luo increased the price by thirty immortal jades. Several people in the bidding chose to retreat.
"Three hundred and ten immortal jades!"
"Three hundred and twenty!"
However, two cultivators still followed. One was a gray-haired man, the other was a young woman in a red dress. It seemed that the two of them really needed the Golden Sun Profound Fire.
"Three hundred and fifty immortal jades!" Shen Luo increased the price again.
The gray-haired man sighed and did not bid again.
"Three hundred and sixty immortal jades!" The young woman in a red dress clenched her teeth and followed.
"Four hundred immortal jades!" Shen Luo was expressionless and increased the price by forty immortal jades.
The young woman in a red dress glared fiercely at Shen Luo. She snorted and no longer spoke.
Seeing this scene, Shen Luo was slightly relieved. His eyes secretly looked at the other people in the field.
On the high platform, the Red Hand Daoist's eyes were somewhat gloomy.
This Golden Sun Profound Fire was sold for four hundred immortal jades. To be honest, it was a bit low. But Shen Luo's bidding method was also clever. He had suppressed the others, so he could only act according to the rules.
"The distinguished guest of No.309 bid four hundred immortal jades. Is there a higher bid?" The Red Hand Daoist raised his voice and asked.
