In the evening.
The pale Tan Xiu followed the Miao Wentang trio to the venue of the Bauhinia Auction, Jingmen Island International Business Conference Center.
On the 18th floor.
In the huge auction venue, there were thousands of tables and chairs. One-third of the seats were already occupied. Moreover, some people were rushing in from outside.
The four of them randomly found a place to sit, and as soon as they sat down, the attendant at the auction site presented them with the list of items to be auctioned.
Tan Xiu sat on a chair, looking at the pictures and text introduction of the auction items on the list. The list had three pages. When he finished reading the first two pages, a bit of disappointment appeared in his eyes. Although many of those items were good, but for him, they were simply useless.
Opening the last page, Tan Xiu's eyes roughly glanced at the list. However, in an instant, his eyes stagnated, revealing a look of disbelief.
Space Crack Stone?
It turned out to be a Space Crack Stone?
If this picture was taken correctly, then it was definitely the main material to refine an interspatial ring: Space Crack Stone.
Tang Xiu's heartbeat accelerated in that instant, and a look of determination could be seen in his eyes. Originally, he was a bit worried. Tomorrow, he would go to the Evil Dragon Sea Area. If he hunted large ominous beasts, or several of them, how would he transport them back? But if he could refine an interspatial ring, transporting them back would absolutely not be a problem.
"Starting price of 5 million? Each bid must not be less than 500,000? "
Tan Xiu thought for a moment. He felt that with his current funds, it should not be a problem to bid for this fist-sized Space Crack Stone.
In the Paradise Club, he won the bet with Ye Taifu. After deducting the 249 million he gave to Jia Ruidao, he got 250 million. Using it to buy materials from the ominous beasts, he spent 20 million. Now, he had a total of 230 million.
"The base price of the Space Crack Stone is 5 million. I still have 230 million. It should not be a problem to buy it. If it is not enough, I will borrow money from Jia Ruidao! When I have money, I will return it to him. "Tan Xiu secretly thought.
"Huh?"
Just as Tan Xiu suppressed the surprise in his heart and looked at the list again, he found something useful to him: a thousand-year-old wild ginseng.
If it was in the Immortal World, not to mention a thousand year wild ginseng, even a ten thousand year wild ginseng wouldn't be lacking. The thousand-year-old wild ginseng was what he used to feed his spirit beasts. But now, it was too precious to him. If he could buy this thousand-year-old wild ginseng, he would have one more main ingredient to refine the Golden Bell Elixir, and the Golden Bell Elixir would be extremely effective.
"Buy! You must get it! "
Tan Xiu looked at the price below and was stunned. His eyes were filled with disbelief.
"Fifty million?"
The base price of this thousand-year-old ginseng was fifty million. Furthermore, the increment in each bid must not be less than two million.
Tan Xiu's lips wriggled. "If, if I move all the thousand-year-old ginseng from my herb garden in the immortal realm, I should be able to buy dozens of Earths, right? This price … is really a scam! "
His gaze continued to move downwards, and he discovered that there were a few other items that were useful to cultivators, but not very useful to him.
Finally!
He locked his eyes on the Void Crack Stone and the thousand-year-old ginseng. In his heart, he silently calculated how much he would have to pay to get these two things.
"Mr. Tang, what do you fancy?"
After Shao Mingzhen finished looking at the list in his hand, he turned to look at Tan Xiu sitting next to him and asked in a low voice.
Tan Xiu pointed to the Void Crack Stone and the thousand-year-old ginseng and said, "I need these two things. Buy them as much as possible."
Shao Mingzhen looked at the Void Crack Stone and was somewhat surprised. Because he didn't know what kind of stone it was. The auctioneer only commented: Rare ore, hard material, suspected to be a meteorite from outer space. However, the thousand-year-old ginseng made him a bit depressed because he also fancied it.
Nowadays on Earth, the thousand-year-old ginseng was very rare. It had simply reached the point of being priceless. Even if some people wanted to buy it with a lot of money, they didn't even hear of the thousand-year-old ginseng being sold. Moreover, not to mention a thousand-year-old ginseng, even a five-hundred-year-old wild ginseng was extremely rare and rare nowadays.
"Forget it! I'll give it up! "
Shao Mingzhen secretly sighed inside. He turned around and touched Miao Wentang, telling him about the two items that Tan Xiu was prepared to bid on.
Miao Wentang also fancied the thousand-year-old wild ginseng. But just like Shao Mingzhen, he finally decided to give it up after knowing that Tan Xiu wanted it.
As for Dao Master Ziyi, he was purely here to be a bystander. Even if he fancied something, he wouldn't bid. It's not that he didn't want to buy it, but he was poor. He was so poor that he simply couldn't afford it.
At 8 o 'clock in the evening.
Along with the appearance of a young woman on the auction stage, the originally noisy auction venue suddenly quieted down. Everyone's gazes were focused on the young lady.
"Welcome to the annual Chinese Redbud Flower Auction. This year's Bauhinia Auction will be held on Jingmen Island. All the items on the auction list have been delivered. I am Xiao Ai, the auctioneer of this year's Bauhinia Auction. "
"I believe that everyone has already seen the items that will be auctioned in this year's auction list. I also believe that everyone already has the items that they want to auction. I wish everyone in advance that they will be able to harvest a lot and return with a full load. "
"Next, I announce the official start of the 21st Bauhinia Auction. The first item that we will auction is a precious antique. It's a blue and white porcelain vase that was produced in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasty. Everyone, do not underestimate this blue and white porcelain vase. The seal on it shows that it was used by the imperial family. It is very likely that it was the residence of the founding emperor of the Qing Dynasty … "
Tan Xiu quietly sat below, listening to the auctioneer's bombastic introduction. After announcing the start of the auction, he looked at the hundreds of guests who came to participate in the Bauhinia Auction and competed with each other to bid. A strange feeling emerged in his heart.
As the saying goes: Gold in troubled times, collection in prosperous times.
Now, he deeply understood the true meaning of this sentence. Items were auctioned at high prices. Items were bought at high prices. He couldn't help but sigh. Nowadays, there were many rich people. Moreover, there were even more rich people who loved to collect. Of course, he also had another kind of thought. That is, people are stupid and have a lot of money. It's meaningless to buy a dead object at home.
During the two-hour auction, Tan Xiu didn't bid. On the contrary, Shao Mingzhen and Miao Wentang each bid once and bought the items that they needed.
"Next, we will auction a rare ore. This rare ore is very hard. It is suspected to be a meteorite that fell on Earth from the outer space. I believe that this is a precious ore with a very high collection value. Perhaps, it's future appreciation space will be difficult to estimate. Its starting price is 5 million, and each bid must be no less than 500,000. Now, the bidding begins. " The auctioneer held the Space Crack Stone and explained it with great emotion. Then, he announced the start of the bidding.
"It's coming!"
Tan Xiu's spirit was shaken. His eyes were firmly locked on the Space Crack Stone. He didn't rush to bid. Because after two hours of observation, he found out that only a few of the people who bid sincerely wanted to buy it. They were just throwing a brick to attract jade. If someone tried to snatch it from them, they would immediately give up. If no one tried to snatch it from them, they might be able to spend a small amount of money to buy something that they liked.
"6 million."
A voice rang out, and that person also raised the token in his hand.
"6.5 million!"
"7 million!"
"7.5 million!"
"…"
Soon, the price of this Space Crack Stone had climbed to 9.5 million. However, after that person made his bid, no one else made a bid for more than ten seconds.
A sweet smile hung on the auctioneer's face as she said, "That gentleman bid 9.5 million. Are there any guests who are willing to bid higher? Everyone, please don't underestimate this rare ore. It's mysterious. Perhaps one day in the future, its value will soar by ten times or even twenty times compared to now. "
"10 million!"
As the auctioneer's voice fell, another voice sounded.
Tan Xiu took a deep breath, raised his card and said, "10.5 million."
"15 million!"
That voice sounded again.
Tan Xiu raised his card and shouted, "20 million."
"Wow …"
Everyone in the auction venue turned their heads to look at Tang Xiu one after another, and discussions broke out one after another.
"Who's so rich that he's stupid? A piece of ore of unknown use, even if it's a little rare, shouldn't be worth 20 million! Could it be that he was fooled by the auctioneer and wants to get rich quickly? "
"20 million for a piece of ore? What kind of joke is this? I think 10 million is high enough. These days, the rich really don't care about money! "
"It's a young man. I wonder which family's prodigal he's from. If I had such a junior, I'd definitely break his legs and make him stay at home to ponder over his mistakes. "
"Could it be that that young man has taken a fancy to the auctioneer? Is he trying to show off in front of her? "
"How interesting!"
"…"
Tan Xiu's hearing was very sharp. He could clearly hear the discussions in the auction, but he still maintained an indifferent expression. He could not be bothered with those who failed to recognize the value of the Sky Crack Stone. Of course, he would not tell everyone the use of the Sky Crack Stone. After all, the Sky Crack Stone was a treasure in his hands, but in the hands of those who did not know how to refine a space ring, it was just a hard stone.
The auctioneer looked deeply at Tan Xiu and asked with a smile, "That handsome guy has bid 20 million. Is there anyone who wants to bid higher than 20 million? If there isn't, this precious and rare ore will belong to that handsome guy. "
There was silence in the auction hall.
Just as the auctioneer was about to announce that Tan Xiu had won the bid for the Sky Crack Stone, a voice suddenly sounded.
"50 million!"
