In the south of Tenryū Province, there used to be a balance between the four great families of martial arts and magic. But since a year ago, the Ximen family had developed rapidly, and now it seemed to be the leader of the four families. In the middle of the Ximen family, there was an extremely large hall. This hall had been built a year ago, and it had never been used since it was built. Today was the first time it was opened.
The auction of the Ximen family had attracted the attention of the whole Tianchen Continent. And among these people, there were naturally many who came to watch the show. Everyone wanted to know whether the mysterious treasure was real or not. If it was real, who would it belong to, and how would the royal family of Tenryū Province react? If it was fake, how would the Ximen family deal with it?
At nine o 'clock in the morning, the auction of the Ximen family began in this hall. The huge hall was packed with people. Everyone here was either rich or noble, because if one didn't have a certain status, the Ximen family wouldn't allow him to enter. Among these people, there were princes, prominent rich people, nobles, and all the great families were gathered in the hall. It was a shocking scene. Just as the auction was about to begin, a person entered and instantly attracted everyone's attention.
A young man sitting in a wheelchair, with a lazy smile on his face. That smile was very faint, but it seemed to have a strange power. Some people felt comfortable as if they were bathing in the spring breeze when they saw his smile, while some people felt a strong sense of discomfort in their hearts. And beside him, there were two girls, one tall and one short. The short girl's hair was snow-white, and there were two terrifying scars on her face. Under the gaze of too many people, her body slightly shrank due to nervousness, and she slightly lowered her head as she pushed the wheelchair into the hall. Beside her, there was an extremely beautiful girl dressed in aqua blue clothes. Her appearance made most of the men lose their souls, and they couldn't move their eyes away for a long time.
She was the daughter of Celestial Dragon City's General Wei Long, Yeh family's Shui Yao. However, her identity, her coldness, and the many rumors about her made those men not even dare to have any desire to make a move.
Among them, there was a gaze that had been following Ye Shuiyao's body. That gaze contained far too many complicated emotions. There was sourness, bitterness, surprise, and most of all, obsession that had never faded over the years.
They had not seen each other for three years, but her figure had never faded from his heart. Instead, it had been engraved deeper and deeper as time passed. He had tried to force himself to forget her time and time again, but it only made him sink deeper and deeper. After three years, the mature charm that had begun to appear made her even more indescribably beautiful, and also made his heart beat wildly once again.
The devil in his heart. She was the devil in his heart that he couldn't get rid of. When he could only see Ye Shuiyao's back, he closed his eyes. He had come to today's auction, and he had to come. The battle between the Tenryū Province and the Dafeng Kingdom had begun. The appearance of this huge treasure made the Dafeng Royal Family feel slightly uneasy. Since it was the treasure of Emperor Tianlong Taizu, the Tenryū Clan was very likely to intervene. If this treasure fell into the hands of the Tenryū Clan, it would be a great disadvantage for the Dafeng Kingdom. So today, regardless of the danger, he personally came to the Tenryū Province. He only brought two guards with him.
Unexpectedly, he saw Ye Wuchen and the white-haired girl who had jumped into the Broken Soul Abyss that year. He also saw Ye Shuiyao, who had been in his dreams. The memories of that year and all kinds of complicated emotions were intertwined in his heart, making his calm heart churn like waves. In the whole world, only Ye Shuiyao could make him lose control like this.
Ye Wuchen didn't seem to notice the existence of Feng Ling. He sat down in a prominent position in the middle. On his right was Ningxue, and on his left was Ye Shuiyao. His eyes were calm, looking straight at the people on the stage in front of him.
The host of the auction was Ximen Qing, the second young master of the Ximen clan.
Today, Ximen Qing looked radiant and particularly excited. When it was nine o 'clock, he stood in front of the hall. There were many people in the hall, but each of them was more prominent than the other, so no one deliberately made noise, so it was especially quiet. In the silence, Ximen Qing first gave a standard salute, then said with a smile, "Friends, you have come from afar, it really brings light to our humble Ximen clan, and we are very honored. In today's auction, only four items will be auctioned off. As for what these four items are, you will know in a moment. I can guarantee that none of these four items will disappoint you. But I have no choice but to mention, this is the territory of my Ximen clan, if you have any unresolved grudges or dissatisfaction towards my Ximen clan, then please give my Ximen clan a thin face and exercise good restraint. Everything can be settled after the auction.
When saying these words, Ximen Qing had a smile on his face. He didn't have the slightest hint of threat, nor did he mention the consequences of disrupting the order of the auction. But who would dare to rashly provoke the dignified Ximen clan? Although Ximen Qing didn't say it clearly, everyone knew that if someone really caused trouble, they wouldn't show any mercy.
My father has caught a cold and is inconvenienced, so I, Ximen Qing, will be the host of this auction. Ximen Qing used his eyes to point at a small golden hammer beside him. It was hard to tell whether it was made of pure gold or gilded gold. This small hammer was the deciding hammer of this auction.
After exchanging a few more pleasantries, Ximen Qing did not beat around the bush and directly started the auction. He clapped his hands, and a well-dressed young woman walked up with a jade plate in her hands. Then, she walked down the stage. Seeing the appearance of that young woman, the facial muscles of Ye Wuchen slightly twitched, because three years ago, she was Ximen Qing's future wife, named Pan Jinlian. And today, from her slightly protruding abdomen, this future wife had already become a wife, moreover, she was going to have a child soon.
The union of Ximen Qing and Pan Jinlian was a perfect match, I don't know what will be born.
Ye Wuchen lifted the embroidered handkerchief on the jade plate, and on top of it, there was a string of dim colored buddhist beads. With a cursory glance, there was nothing unusual about it.
I don't know if friends have heard of Dahua Temple. A thousand years ago, the name of this vast land wasn't Tenryū Province. It was Dahua Nation. Dahua Temple was Huguo Temple of Dahua Nation. At that time, there was a rumor that inside Dahua Temple, there was a rare treasure called Carved Dragon Black Sandalwood Beads. It was left behind by an eminent monk Xuanhua several thousand years ago. If one carried it on their body, they would be able to drive away ghosts and evil spirits, and live a peaceful life. More importantly, this string of Carved Dragon Black Sandalwood Beads concealed a peerless cultivation technique left behind by Great Master Xuanhua. Later, Emperor Taizu went on an expedition for more than ten years to destroy Dahua Nation. He searched the entire Dahua Temple, but he couldn't find the Carved Dragon Black Sandalwood Beads. Finally, he could only give up.
Young Master Ximen, this string of buddhist beads shouldn't be in the hall. Finally, someone couldn't help but ask.
Ximen Qing nodded his head, then carefully picked up that string of seemingly ordinary buddhist beads, and said: Yes, this is that string of Carved Dragon Black Sandalwood Beads.
Although they were already mentally prepared, but many people in the hall still cried out in alarm. No one doubted the authenticity of this string of buddhist beads, because even if it was Ximen clan, they absolutely wouldn't dare to falsify in front of so many influential people.
Most of them came for the treasure map, so they didn't care too much about the first three treasures, but they didn't think that this treasure really lived up to its name. The first treasure gave them a big shock. The existence of Carved Dragon Black Sandalwood Beads, even now, is still recorded.
This string of Carved Dragon Black Sandalwood Beads was obtained by an ancestor of my Ximen clan by chance. It has already existed in my Ximen clan for thousands of years, and it has always been my Ximen clan's family heirloom. In order to prevent people from spying on it, we never let outsiders know about it. Also because of the existence of this Carved Dragon Black Sandalwood Beads, my Ximen clan has been safe and sound for thousands of years. Rumor has it that the strange characters engraved on these sandalwood beads are the cultivation technique left behind by Great Master Xuanhua. Whoever can read these characters can obtain a peerless cultivation technique. My Ximen clan tried generation after generation, but we didn't get anything. My father felt that Ximen clan and this Carved Dragon Black Sandalwood Beads are not fated, so he decided to auction this sandalwood beads. Those who can obtain this Carved Dragon Black Sandalwood Beads should be fated people who can understand the cultivation technique written on it.
These words of Ximen Qing were extremely ingenious, especially the sentence 'those who can obtain this Carved Dragon Black Sandalwood Beads should be fated people who can understand the cultivation technique written on it.' It was very misleading. To those who practiced martial arts, a powerful martial art was undoubtedly a priceless treasure. It was something that wealth and power could never be compared to. Suddenly, many people in the audience became restless. Similarly, some non-martial artists merchants were also tempted. What they fancied was its ability to ward off evil spirits.
In accordance with my father's wishes, this Carved Dragon Black Sandalwood Beads will only be fated people who can find it. Therefore, the starting price is only 100,000 taels of silver. Now, the auction began.
100,000 taels of silver was an astronomical figure for ordinary people. But for those who were the richest in the world, a trifling 100,000 taels of silver for a rare treasure that had been passed down for thousands of years was simply unimaginable.
Sure enough, it was a good move. Ye Wuchen faintly smiled and softly said. 100,000 taels of silver was a very low starting price. But, such a starting price would imperceptibly deepen the effect of 'fated people' that Ximen Qing had said. It would make even more people chase after it and bid for it. The starting price was very low. But, the final price might increase by tens or even hundreds of times.
500,000 taels of silver.
A slightly plump man calmly shouted out a bid that was five times the starting price. Obviously, he knew that the final price would definitely exceed 100,000 taels of silver. So, he simply didn't want to waste time on bidding. But, this bid caused more than half of the people who were preparing to bid to give up. It wasn't that the price of 500,000 taels of silver was too high, but this person …
Qian Gun Gun, the richest man in Tenryū Province, and also the richest man in Tianchen Continent. There were very few people who didn't know his name. Ye Wuchen whispered to Ye Shuiyao who was beside him. Qian Gun Gun, this was a person who truly viewed money as dirt. It wasn't that he didn't care about money, but that he had too much wealth. He was the only person in Tianchen Continent who had burned money to keep warm without batting an eyelid. And, his businesses and connections covered the entire Tianchen Continent and all kinds of industries. Walking on the bustling streets, you could see his businesses almost every ten meters. The extent of his influence and financial resources was evident.
Today, he also came to this auction. And when he expressed his interest in this Carved Dragon Black Sandalwood Beads, there weren't many people competing. It wasn't that they didn't dare to, but they simply couldn't compete. Not to mention 100,000 taels of silver, even if it was a million or even ten million taels of silver, it was just a drop in the bucket for him.
He had two sons, one was called Qian Buduo and the other was called Qian Duoduo. Both of them were prominent figures in the business world.
550,000 taels of silver!
600,000 taels of silver.
800,000 taels of silver! I want this Sandalwood Beads.
1,000,000 taels of silver. It was still Qian Gun Gun. When he shouted out 100 taels of silver, it was as easy as breathing. Looking at his appearance, it was obvious that he was quite interested in this Carved Dragon Black Sandalwood Beads.
