Zhong Hua's face darkened, and he could only retreat to the side in embarrassment.
It was obvious that even though he was the auction house's Great Elder, he didn't have much status in front of an appraiser like Elder Xin.
However, he was the auction house's pillar after all, so he still had some experience when it came to setting a price. Although Elder Xin didn't give an answer, he quickly came up with a rough estimate based on his many years of experience.
At the same time, he also felt somewhat fortunate.
Fortunately, he had tempered his temperament to the extreme after many years of training. If he had really lost his temper with Qin Yi just now, then this treasure sword made of high-grade sword jade would have had no fate with the Zhongyu Auction House.
Without a doubt, it would be extremely beneficial for their auction house to auction such a treasure sword that could become the cornerstone treasure of the Four Cauldrons Sects.
First of all, the price of the treasure sword would definitely be very high. If they took a 20% commission, they would be able to earn a decent sum of money.
Of course, this wasn't the most important thing. Imagine how much of a commotion a treasure sword made of high-grade sword jade would cause if it was auctioned in their auction house.
Without a doubt, once this treasure sword was auctioned here, the Zhongyu Auction House's reputation would rise to a whole new level because of this treasure sword.
Once its reputation spread, the auction house's business would also rise along with it. This was a long-term benefit.
Evidently, this treasure sword could already be considered a great opportunity for their auction house.
As the auction house's Great Elder, how could Zhong Yun not be happy?
"Friend, there's something I don't understand."
Suddenly, Elder Xin, who was looking down at the sword, raised his head to look at Qin Yi and asked, "This treasure sword can already be considered a priceless treasure. If I were you, I would definitely keep this sword for my own use. I can see that you're a rather shrewd person, so why would you give up such a treasure for such a small profit? "
Qin Yi was stunned. He hadn't expected that this old man would actually feel that it wasn't worth it.
He had originally thought that as the auction house's appraiser, he would definitely advise Qin Yi to sell the sword for the auction house's benefit. However, this old man actually advised him not to sell it. He even directly ignored Zhong Hua, whose expression gradually changed as if a piece of his flesh was about to be cut off.
Qin Yi pondered for a moment, then smiled bitterly. He couldn't possibly say that this sword was nothing in his eyes, could he?
If that was the case, then it would be a huge problem for him to even walk out of the auction house alive.
This was the first time he had come into contact with the Zhongyu Auction House. If he exposed too many things, he would be courting death.
At that moment, he could only say, "With my body and bones, do you think I will be able to survive with such a precious treasure on me? This thing is a treasure in other people's hands, but in mine, it's simply a talisman of death. "
Elder Xin frowned as he looked at Qin Yi. He couldn't find any flaws in Qin Yi's words. To be honest, he believed Qin Yi's words more. After all, looking at Qin Yi's appearance, he didn't look like a big shot. If he really had some treasures on him, it was normal that he couldn't keep them.
"It should be about time. You should prepare as soon as possible and take my things out to auction."
Qin Yi chuckled and didn't want to continue on this topic. "There is one more thing that I need Great Elder Zhong's help with."
Zhong Yun's impression of Qin Yi had doubled. Seeing that Qin Yi needed help, he quickly asked, "What's the matter? Just say it!"
Qin Yi smiled and said, "I want to participate in this auction."
Zhong Yun waved his hand heartily and said, "I thought it was something big. Since you entrusted your things to our auction house, you are our distinguished guest. What's the big deal about participating in an auction? I'll arrange it now and let you enter the VIP area. "
It had to be said that Zhong Yun, as a businessman, was quite open-minded. He would consider everything thoroughly and try to satisfy people as much as possible.
Qin Yi didn't expect the other party to agree so readily. He laughed and said, "If that's the case, then thank you very much."
"You're welcome."
Zhong Yun laughed and then clapped his hands. A maid immediately came in from outside the door, holding a purple gold token in her hand.
"This is my Zhongyu Auction House's VIP token. You can use this token to participate in my auction house's auctions in the future."
Immediately after, he ordered the maidservant, "Bring these three esteemed guests to the VIP seats and serve them well! Try to satisfy them. "
The maid respectfully agreed and didn't say anything. She directly brought Qin Yi and the others to the auction venue.
It had to be said that Zhong Yun's attitude at the moment was still very enthusiastic, and the way he did things was indeed very satisfactory to Qin Yi and the others.
His eyes were extremely sharp. Although Qin Yi's previous explanation seemed flawless, in his eyes, coupled with Qin Yi's previous performance, it made him conclude that Qin Yi was definitely not an ordinary person.
And this kind of person must have a deeper meaning to hide himself. If he could form a good relationship with the other party, then there might be such a good opportunity in the future.
Therefore, it was necessary to express his sincerity as much as possible.
…
Under the maid's guidance, Qin Yi soon arrived at the venue where the auction was held.
This was an extremely spacious space that could accommodate at least a thousand people. At the top level behind the space, there was an independent space with small windows. Obviously, that was the so-called VIP area.
At this moment, the auction venue was already overcrowded. There were thousands of seats, but not a single empty seat. It was a boiling cauldron of voices inside. Everyone was talking about today's auction and their goals today.
The maid led Qin Yi and the others into an independent passage. Soon, the group of people arrived at the VIP area.
There were many rooms in this row, at least more than 30. There were also many rooms that were already lit up. Obviously, there were already people inside.
The maid brought Qin Yi and the others to the door of an empty room and said respectfully to Qin Yi, "Please take out your token."
Qin Yi didn't refuse and directly took out the token and handed it to the maid.
The maid stretched out her hand and swiped the token in front of the door. Immediately after, a purplish-gold light flashed, and the door opened.
"This will be your exclusive room in the future. When you come here, you can open it with the token."
