< Today's First Update! >
It's no wonder that the Aristocratic Hall has put up such a top-notch wine as the first item to be auctioned. It turns out that this wine is a heavenly wine that has been meticulously brewed by the God of Wine, Song Shang!
Song Shang himself hadn't said anything. Moreover, he hadn't admitted that this wine was brewed by him. However, everyone present couldn't help but think so. After all, Song Shang was a top-notch assassin of the Tian Xuan Clan. But, Song Shang's reputation as the God of Wine was deeply rooted in the hearts of these high-level people.
Several maids strolled out with large trays in their hands under the watchful eyes of everyone present. And, there were dozens of small … wine cups on each tray.
These wine cups … were called wine cups. In fact, they were about the same size as the smallest wine cup. But, they were more exquisite and exquisite. They were made of silver, and were as thin as a cicada's wings. They were sparkling.
These wine cups were made of pure silver. They were pleasing to the eyes. But, they could also make people feel at ease when drinking them. After all, a poisonous wine can't be contained in a silver cup. This was enough to show that the Aristocratic Hall was very considerate and considerate.
Three wine cups were placed on every table. After which, a couple of female servants carried the wine pot and carefully filled the cups one at a time, afraid that even half a drop would leak out. Cool good wine flowed out from the mouth of the pot and poured into the wine cups. As the wine cups were gradually filled one at a time, the fragrance in the hall also became increasingly rich. Everyone looked at the wine cups in front of them. They couldn't help but swallow a few mouthfuls of saliva regardless of their status or wealth.
"The main item of this auction has never appeared on the continent before. It's a heavenly wine! Now, I would like to invite everyone to have a taste of this wine. This way, everyone will have a good idea of what's going to happen in the auction. " Song Shang's loud voice shook the entire audience. He stood on the stage, but he looked very different from Tang Yuan. He was like a deep pool and a lofty mountain. He had the demeanor of a Tian Xuan Clan expert.
"I believe that after everyone has tasted this wine, they will all feel that this wine is simply a divine wine, a priceless treasure! It doesn't matter how much you spend or what price you have to pay for this wine. Everything will be worth it as long as you can obtain it! "Song Shang waved his hand.
"Please!"
Everyone had been captivated by this marvelous wine that they had never seen before. So, they impatiently raised their wine cups. This wine cup was as small as a finger's size. However, everyone couldn't help but curse the Aristocratic Hall for being stingy in their hearts.
"Everyone must be saying in your heart that the wine cup is really too small, that it's really not enough to drink." Song Shang leisurely said, "I will respectfully apologize to this hall first. Everyone, please think about it. If we let everyone drink to their heart's content as soon as it's served, what meaning would there be to treasure it? Not to mention spending a lot of money to auction it later? This is my selfishness, but I do not wish to profane this godly wine! "
Everyone here was experienced and knowledgeable, so how could they not understand the logic behind it? They all dismissed it with a smile.
Everyone raised their cups and drained the wine in the midst of laughter. Princess Reimu wasn't good at drinking. She didn't like drinking. Moreover, she wouldn't dare to drink even if she was good at drinking. There were two frightening people behind her. She had already been terrified when she had overstepped her seat. She couldn't retreat if that person hadn't given her a strict order. She would've retreated to the bottom. So, she had no choice but to put on a look of disdain. She pushed the wine cups to the back, and gave the three cups to the two people behind her.
The two black-robed men had been waiting impatiently for a long time. They couldn't wait any longer. They picked up the wine, and drained it in one gulp. Both of them were moved after drinking the wine. These two men were people who had tasted the best wine in the world. But, they had never tasted such a good wine before. Unsatisfied, they looked at the other small cup on the table. Both of them stared at each other, unwilling to give in!
According to Jun Mo Xie's judgement, the two black robed men who had accompanied Princess Ling Meng were of extraordinary origins. One of them must be that person. But if that person was truly that person, then who in the entire Tian Xiang Empire would be able to stand up to him as an equal? Who was the other black-robed man?!
"Ah ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~" The crowd that drank first seemed to have sunk into silence.
After a while, a voice suddenly called out in the silence. The voice was lingering, like a moan in a spring night. It was extremely strange.
Everyone looked toward the source of the voice and saw a strong man in his forties with an intoxicated look on his face. He stared at the small wine cup in his hand with a crazed look in his eyes. Suddenly, he raised his head and stood up, asking loudly, "It's really worthy of being a divine wine brewed by the mysterious Wine God. Just a small cup is enough to make me fall head over heels for it. How much is the base price? I don't care how much it costs. I will bid for at least ten jars today! "
The man who stood up was Tian Xiang City's number one salt merchant. He was also the vice president of the Tian Xiang City's Chamber of Commerce, Zhao Meng Long.
This man's words could be said to be extremely vulgar. But, no one refuted him. Instead, they all nodded in agreement. If not for the fact that they were princes and ministers, they wouldn't have been willing to speak against their conscience!
Only Dugu Wu Di, who was sitting in the second row, had black lines on his face. He shouted, "Sit down and talk! How can you make a fuss in such a serious environment? You've never seen the world! Do you still look like a noble? "General Dugu's heart was beating like a drum. He was very depressed.
General Dugu had come today to support his third brother, Jun Wuyi. But, his original intention was to see Jun Moxie make a fool of himself. He was determined to win the bet that day. A jar of wine for ten thousand silvers? What kind of joke is this? It would be strange if he could sell it. I'm going to win this bet no matter what!
But, who would've thought that ten thousand silvers for a jar of wine wouldn't seem expensive at all! Not only can it be sold, but it's also going to be sold at a much higher price. So, it's possible that the price won't be twenty-five million silvers. But, it's going to be much more than that!
How could Dugu Wu Di not be depressed? Even if he had to erase his conscience, he would still have to do it. If he couldn't do it, then he would stir up trouble in the hall. General Dugu bitterly squinted his eyes and looked at the place where the uncle and nephew, Jun Moxie and Jun Wuyi, were sitting. Presumably, those two guys were grinning from ear to ear, right?
Zhao Meng Long coughed twice, and sat down in a somewhat embarrassed manner. He was one of the biggest merchants in Tian Xiang City. But, he didn't dare to argue with the 'rude and unreasonable' family head. He had just sat down when he picked up the empty wine glass, raised his head, opened his mouth, and shook it twice. Then, he put it on his nose, and took a deep breath.
His face was full of happiness.
Dugu Wu Di turned his head, and saw his precious daughter, Dugu Xiaoyi, smiling sweetly. She was looking at him with a look of schadenfreude. He couldn't help but snort, and threaten, "If you keep smiling so happily, I'll start arranging a blind date tomorrow."
Dugu Xiaoyi's laughter came to an abrupt end. She angrily looked at her father, and turned her head away with a straight face. But, she turned back the next moment, and made a face as she said, "Humph! You're afraid of losing, aren't you? Humph! Let's see how you pay off that huge debt! But, twenty-five million silvers! You can't even pay it off even if you sell yourself! "
Dugu Wu Di was furious, and blurted out, "How can I pay it off? I have a way! I can't pay it off even if I sell myself? Is that amazing? If I really don't have money, then I'll use my daughter to pay off the debt. I'll take that brat as my son-in-law! Humph! "
Dugu Xiaoyi's pretty face turned red. She suddenly stood up, and frowned coldly, "I don't want it! Who wants it?! "
She was angry and anxious. She liked Jun Moxie, but she didn't want to lose to Jun Moxie as a wager … How would her sweetheart see her if that happened?
Tears welled up in her eyes. She stomped her feet, and twisted her waist. She no longer paid attention to her father, and tears started to flow down her cheeks.
Dugu Wu Di was at a loss. He had long forgotten about his intention to disrupt the situation, and hurried over to comfort her. Due to the limited number of slots, only Dugu Ying was able to enter the 'Heroes and Vanguards'. He had been grinning from ear to ear, but Dugu Wudi had ruthlessly kicked him in the butt.
"Aren't you going down?" Upstairs, Jun Wuyi asked his nephew.
"I feel that something isn't right." Jun Moxie frowned, and pointed his finger at the sky, "It seems that that person has also come. He's not the only one. He's also brought along an unfathomable guy. I don't want to provoke unnecessary trouble, so it's better if I don't show myself."
"Oh?" Jun Wuyi's body shook.
"My feeling should be right." Jun Moxie smiled, "I'll leave today's matter to Tang Yuan and Yang Mo. I believe that the two of them will be enough. I'll only show myself at the crucial moment."
Jun Wuyi smiled, but then frowned, "I'm afraid that your strength will spread sooner or later. They … will find out sooner or later."
Jun Moxie shook his head in disapproval, "Therefore, we must make the Jun Family into an undefeatable family before they find out. Then, they won't be able to do anything even if they find out! After all, only absolute strength is the strongest capital for an undefeatable family! "
Afterward, Song Shang wantonly praised the various wonderful aspects of the wine, and then retreated to the side. Even the Young Master Jun couldn't compare to the Young Master Jun when it came to understanding the taste of wine. The Great Wine God Song's praise had caused everyone to be reluctant to leave the wine they had just tasted. In fact, they were even more excited at this moment. The atmosphere had reached a new climax!
Next, it was time for the manager, Tang Yuan, to put on a show.
"Now, the auction of this heavenly wine will officially begin! The starting price for each jar of wine is ten thousand taels of silver. There are no rules for increasing the price. Since the quantity of this wine is limited, each table can only bid for fifty jars at a time! There won't be any more, "Tang Yuan's big belly propped up as he announced in a loud voice.
"Dare I ask … Manager Tang … what do you mean by there won't be any more?" As soon as Tang Yuan's voice fell, an impatient person asked.
"It doesn't mean anything special. Everyone can probably tell that this wine was made from Old Song's hard work. He spent half of his life running all over the continent to collect the best quality ingredients. Even after using all of them, he was only able to brew this much! There won't be any more heavenly wine like this in the future! Therefore, this is the only time this heavenly wine will be auctioned! "Tang Yuan said with a sigh.
"Only this time!" The audience cried out in alarm. Everyone looked at each other in dismay. This heavenly wine is actually unique!
