The Lava Mystic Rock was quickly sent to room 308 where Linlong was. He Qingxue was naturally very curious about the Lava Mystic Rock, but Linlong did not explain to her what exactly was hidden under the runes.
Linlong's attention seemed to be focused on the auction below, so He Qingxue was too embarrassed to ask him.
Subsequently, another seven or eight items passed by. However, these items were either fixed in price or were treasures with low profit margins. Thus, Linlong couldn't be bothered to bid for them.
After a while, an obviously old but exquisitely made ceramic was brought to the auction stage.
This ceramic was cast from a horse.
What kind of treasure was this?
Everyone in the auction house had the same question in their minds when they saw the horse. From their point of view, it seemed to be just an ordinary piece of ceramic.
At this moment, the auctioneer smiled and said, "I believe everyone has some doubts, because this ceramic is not a treasure. At least, our auction house's appraisers did not see any value in it … Perhaps its true value is because it is really an exquisite piece of porcelain."
"What's wrong with your auction house? You even auction this kind of porcelain?"
"If we want this kind of porcelain, we can go elsewhere to buy it. Why do we need to come to your auction?"
"That's right, we didn't come all the way to this auction to see this kind of thing."
"Hurry up and take this trash away, don't waste our time."
…
For a moment, many people below the stage were immediately dissatisfied.
The auctioneer smiled bitterly. "It will only take up a bit of everyone's time. Don't worry … To tell you the truth, an old customer of our auction house asked us to auction this item. According to him, he wants to find a fated person. Due to the other party's distinguished status, we can't refuse."
The auctioneer's words immediately made the people at the scene quiet down. They could not understand why a distinguished person would ask an auction house to auction such an ordinary piece of porcelain.
Find a fated person? They really did not believe that this auction was looking for a fated person.
Could it be that this porcelain was really unique, or was it just a gimmick that the Yunyan Palace deliberately made up?
At this moment, He Qingxue looked at Linlong and asked, "Young Master, is there anything unusual about this porcelain?"
Linlong got two good things in a row. He Qingxue naturally believed in Linlong's judgment.
However, Linlong shook his head. "I can't tell."
Linlong really couldn't tell. To him, it was indeed just a simple piece of porcelain. There was nothing special about it at all.
"Alright, the starting bid for this porcelain is 1000 cloud coins." The auctioneer shouted from below.
"I bid ten thousand cloud coins." Someone shouted from below.
"I bid 50,000 cloud coins."
"This young master has a hundred thousand cloud coins."
"This young master will pay 500,000 cloud coins."
…
In an instant, this ordinary porcelain was actually sold for 500,000 cloud coins. Obviously, the auctioneer's words had piqued the curiosity of everyone present.
However, they could only bid up to 500,000 cloud coins. After all, this porcelain looked too ordinary, and no one was willing to be a spendthrift.
"Five hundred thousand going once."
"Five hundred thousand going twice."
"Five hundred thousand cloud coins …"
Just as the auctioneer was about to shout the same words for the third time, someone bid again. "Five hundred and twenty thousand cloud coins."
Linlong subconsciously shifted his gaze to this person. However, this person was wearing a loose black robe. Adding on to the white mask on his face, it was impossible to see his physique. Even his voice was extremely hoarse.
Furthermore, this was not the first time this person bid. Previously, he would bid from time to time. Furthermore, his bid would not be much higher than the people in front of him.
He seemed to be an extremely cautious person who did not like to be in the limelight.
Could it be that this person was the fated person that the auctioneer mentioned? Or was there really something different about this porcelain? Linlong could not help but shift his gaze to the porcelain. However, he still could not see anything different.
The luxuriously dressed youth who previously bid 500,000 cloud coins was naturally indignant when he saw that his chance to show off was snatched away. He immediately shouted again, "This young master bids 600,000!"
"Six hundred and twenty thousand." That strangely dressed person still increased the bid by a little bit.
"700,000. I don't believe that a country bumpkin like you can continue to increase the bid." That noble looking youth could not help but spit out.
"720,000." Who knew that the other party would still call out in such a manner.
"800,000." That noble looking youth said with a flushed face.
"820,000."
"900,000." The noble looking youth who called out this bid had an obviously ugly expression on his face.
Obviously, this price had already exceeded the range that he could afford.
"920,000." The other party still said in a neither fast nor slow manner.
"Alright, you win." The noble looking youth said angrily.
The auctioneer did not expect that an ordinary porcelain could actually be sold for such a high price. His face was full of smiles as he immediately said, "920,000. If no one else bids, this porcelain will belong to that friend over there."
As he spoke, he changed his position. At this moment, Linlong who felt that the porcelain's body was reflecting different rays of light, his eyes suddenly lit up.
He discovered that at the moment when the light changed, some of the lines on the porcelain body also changed. This was very normal on many porcelain.
However, Linlong discovered that there was something abnormal, because after the lines changed, the painting style on the porcelain was actually very similar to the jade pendant he obtained from Little Ya's mother.
This porcelain was definitely not as simple as it seemed on the surface. Linlong immediately made such a judgment.
At this time, the auctioneer below was already on the third count. He immediately called out a bid. "One million."
"One million, ah … The guest in Room 308 has bid one million." The auctioneer was a little surprised. He did not expect that this porcelain could actually be sold for a higher price.
Moreover, the one who made the bid was the guest in Room 308. From the performance just now, this guest was obviously the one who kept bidding. In other words, once the other party continued to bid, the price of this porcelain could still go up.
They were used to seeing the scene of many treasures soaring in price. It was very difficult to see such an ordinary porcelain being sold at such a high price.
As for the others, they were also excited because of Linlong's bid.
This time, there's going to be a good show. This thought flashed through their minds.
"One million and twenty thousand." The strangely dressed person continued to shout.
"One million and ten thousand."
"One million and twenty thousand."
"One million and twenty thousand."
…
Very soon, the two people actually shouted three million. The one who made such a round bid was naturally Linlong.
What surprised everyone was that at this time, the strangely dressed person did not continue to shout. Instead, he glanced in the direction of Linlong's private room.
Just when everyone thought that this person could not afford such a price, the other party shouted again. The price was still the same twenty thousand, which was three million and twenty thousand.
At this time, Linlong suddenly shouted. "Five million."
Such a price immediately caused an uproar in the audience below.
"He's really rich and willful."
"I really can't see the value of this lousy thing. Why is it worth so much money?"
"I'm afraid the guest in Room 308 just wants to show off."
"I pity that person. He wanted such a porcelain so much, but he encountered such a nouveau riche."
"I wonder if he will bid again."
"This price is too high. In my opinion, he won't bid again."
"It's hard to say …"
…
Just as everyone was discussing, the strangely dressed person looked in the direction of Linlong's private room again. This time, he did not continue to shout. Not only did he not shout anymore, but he also turned around and walked out of the auction house.
It was obvious that he had come here for this porcelain.
The porcelain was quickly sent to Linlong's private room.
The curious He Qingxue and Elder Dong began to study the porcelain. However, no matter how they looked and touched it, they could not tell what was different about it.
In their opinion, no matter how exquisite the craftsmanship was, it was impossible for this porcelain to be worth so much money.
If the Lava Black Rock had attracted Linlong's attention because of the runes, then the medicine cauldron had attracted his attention because of the mechanism. They really did not know what about this porcelain could attract Linlong's attention.
"Young Master, what exactly is different about this porcelain?" He Qingxue asked.
"I don't know either. I just vaguely feel that it is a little different," Linlong said.
Spending five million for such a subtle difference was really willful. However, when He Qingxue and Elder Dong thought about how easy it was for Linlong to earn money, they shut their mouths.
Linlong picked up the porcelain. Sure enough, under the illumination of the light, the lines of the porcelain changed. Moreover, the more Linlong looked at it, the more he felt that the changes were similar to the jade pendant.
However, it was obviously not the time to study it. Linlong put it down first and planned to study it slowly after returning to his room.
Next, the auction continued.
Among the ten treasures that were auctioned, Linlong did not find any valuable treasures.
After that, the Hundred Refinements Universe Brush was brought to the auction house.
Seeing the Hundred Refinements Universe Brush on the auction stage, He Qingxue's eyes immediately lit up.
At first glance, the Hundred Refinements Universe Brush was no different from an ordinary brush. However, after a closer look, one could immediately see that it was different. The brush shaft was obviously refined with special materials. As for the brush shaft, it would occasionally flash with an extremely gentle silver radiance.
