Soon, it was time for the auction.
"The starting price is 500,000 gold coins, and each bid is at least 10,000 gold coins!" The auctioneer in charge of the auction said. His voice was loud and spread throughout the auction hall.
Then, with a swish, he took off a red cloth from a cart on the side, and a jade engraved with the Boundless Sea appeared in front of everyone.
Suddenly, a surge of water vapor filled the entire auction hall. At the same time, a mysterious expert walked out from the backstage and picked up the jade, quietly showing everyone the concept of the jade.
The jade trembled slightly, and a wave of smoke slowly spread out from the jade.
"Hualala!!"
Then, he gently swept the jade in his hand, and suddenly, a large blue wave rose into the air. The entire space on the stage was instantly submerged by the wave, and for a moment, everyone felt like they were facing the sea.
"Swish!"
The person took back the jade, and the vast wave of smoke instantly disappeared.
"Just now, I poured a trace of True Essence into it. This piece of jade carries the Immeasurable Concept left behind by the Ancient Ancestors. Everyone has clearly seen its boundless Concept." This person's voice was low, making it difficult for others to distinguish his age and gender.
Without a doubt, this was an expert who came out to protect the Boundless Sea.
"I bid 510,000 gold coins!"
"You want to buy the Boundless Sea with 510,000 gold coins? I bid 600,000 gold coins!! "
"650,000!!"
"720,000!"
"I bid 800,000!"
…
The scene was too lively, and the bids came one after another. There was no one who increased the price by 10,000 gold coins, but rather by 30,000, 40,000, and even 50,000 gold coins. This kind of cultivation technique that could be passed down by a family or sect attracted too many people.
Of course, there was no lack of people who came purely to watch the show, because they didn't have the capital to pay such a high price. The people in the front were shouting fiercely, and the people in the back were discussing.
"Just who is this person, to actually put this kind of thing up for auction? The Boundless True Intent recorded in this jade is very beneficial even for a demigod or even a god. "
"Even if one doesn't cultivate the Boundless Sea, they can still comprehend the Boundless True Intent in the jade, and they will definitely gain a lot. Someone is actually stupid enough to put this kind of thing up for sale? If I were to put it up for sale, I would definitely make a copy and sell it. "
"I suspect that this isn't something from the ruins, and it's very likely that someone stole it. Otherwise, why have we never heard of such a relic? "
"That's right. He must have snatched it from some great sect's treasure vault. He might have even stolen it."
…
Everyone wanted to know who was the one who put this item up for sale. There were even some people with evil intentions who were secretly planning to kill the person who put this item up for auction when the time came.
"I bid two million gold coins!"
"2.15 million!"
"2.3 million!"
Inside the auction hall, bids were still being called out crazily. Furthermore, the calls were becoming fiercer and fiercer.
Those who bid were no longer interested in the cultivation technique, but rather the Immeasurable True Intent contained within the jade. This was what they needed the most.
But in the end, the bid stopped at 2.5 million gold coins.
"There's something fishy going on …" Seeing this bid, Zhou Tong knew in his heart that according to the original bidding trend, this piece of jade would reach at least 4,000,000 gold coins. After all, this was something that could be passed down through the ages. It could even be passed down to future generations. It could bring endless benefits to a family.
Now, several families and sects must have joined forces to suppress other people who wanted to bid a high price.
"Hehe, you dare to play this trick on me. See if I don't destroy your family!" Zhou Tong smiled coldly. Then, he got up and went directly to the backstage of the Zhengtong Auction House.
Of the 2.5 million gold coins, 10% was the auction house's commission, which was 250,000 gold coins. In the end, Zhou Tong only walked away with 2.25 million gold coins.
"According to the original valuation, it should be at least 4,000,000 gold coins. Excluding the commission, it should be 3,600,000 gold coins. Now, it's 1,350,000 gold coins less … Humph!"
After receiving the commission, Zhou Tong didn't immediately leave. Instead, he used a secret technique and hid not far away. He wanted to see who had bought his item.
With Zhou Tong's ability, no one could detect that he was secretly observing.
Very quickly, Zhou Tong sensed a peerless beauty coming to the backstage and taking away his precious jade from the auction house.
"According to my previous observation, could this person be the one who framed Xiao Chen in the original work, Hai Yunxue?" Before, Zhou Tong was only guessing. But when he heard the conversation with this person backstage, he quickly confirmed the identity of this person. It was indeed Hai Yunxue.
"It really is Hai Yunxue … This kind of despicable person is really speechless!" Zhou Tong secretly said.
"Speaking of which, who is the person who took out this jade to auction?" While Zhou Tong was observing, Hai Yunxue suddenly asked the auction house's staff.
"This … We have rules …" The staff replied.
"Is this gold bill enough?" Hai Yunxue's voice came.
"But …" That person was still somewhat hesitant.
"What if you add another one?" Hai Yunxue leisurely said, "These two gold bills are enough for you to go to other cities and live the life of an upper class person. Are you really willing to work in the auction house for the rest of your life until you die?"
"Furthermore, we don't need you to sell the information of the auction house. We only need you to describe what you saw. This will not harm the auction house's interests!! "Hai Yunxue's voice was very provocative," Could it be that you are afraid that our Hai family will sell you out? "
This time, that person didn't hesitate at all and directly said, "I also don't know who this person is. He is only a very short person. He looks like a midget or a dwarf. Perhaps he is a child … He was wearing a black gown that covered most of his face …"
That person directly described Zhou Tong's attire. However, he didn't see Zhou Tong's face and didn't know what Zhou Tong looked like.
"Don't worry, this is yours!" Hai Yunxue directly stuffed the two gold bills into that person's bosom and then left.
"It seems like the Hai family is going to mobilize their power to search for my traces in Celestial City …" Just after Hai Yunxue left, Zhou Tong also dispersed his secret technique and revealed himself.
He didn't care about the Hai family's search. At least, the most common experts in the immortal's mainland were demigods of the Zephyr Realm. However, Zhou Tong really wasn't afraid of people of this realm.
"Come, demigods of the Hai family. I will kill as many as you come!" Zhou Tong immediately turned around and left.
