The auction hall was brightly lit, and there was a hubbub of voices. ▲ 〃
Especially below the stage, it had become a world for the stewards of the aristocratic families and wealthy families. Those who were on good terms with each other chatted, while those who were on bad terms with each other ignored each other. Many people took the opportunity to expand their network.
When the time came, the auctioneer walked up to the stage, and the voices below the stage became softer.
There were still many people queuing outside Fang Yun's room, and they had to leave.
Fang Yun sent the last batch of guests out and sat on the long bench in the room.
Ao Huang was leaning against the railing with her back facing him. Fang Yun saw Ao Huang's tail beside her. Since he had nothing to do, he reached out to touch her tail, wanting to know what a dragon's tail looked like. It was as hard as a dragon's horn, but it had a toughness that a dragon's horn did not have. It was very special.
Ao Huang rolled her eyes and mumbled softly, "Don't you know that you can't touch a real dragon's butt? Forget it, I'll take it that you're flattering a dragon … "
Yang Yuhuan and Su Xiaoxiao covered their mouths and laughed.
There was a knock on the door, and then Zhao Hongzhuang, who was wearing a blue scholar's robe, pushed the door open and entered.
"Sister Hong Zhuang!" Su Xiaoxiao stood up immediately.
Fang Yun nodded. He did not treat Hong Zhuang as an outsider.
Zhao Hongzhuang held Yang Yuhuan's hand with her left hand and Su Xiaoxiao's hand with her right. They sat down and talked softly.
At that moment, the old auctioneer on the stage who was over 60 years old cupped his hands and said loudly, "I'm sixty-nine years old, and I'm quite famous in the pawnshops in Beijing. It's my honor to be able to host a special auction for Fang Xusheng's items today. Although I have a lot to say, since I know why you're here, I won't be courteous. Men, bring up the first item, a top-grade dragon bone! "
The old auctioneer's words were greeted with cheers.
Four young and strong men in sleeveless short robes carried a red tray towards the auction stage. On the tray, there was a dragon bone about three feet long.
Unlike ordinary dragon bones, which were as smooth as jade, the surface of this dragon bone was dull. There were many cracks and holes, and there were even signs of it being gnawed by insects and rats.
The old auctioneer said, "These dragon bones originate from the Holy Ground. Although there are traces of time left behind, the bones still contain vitality. There was a trace of spirituality that did not exist in ordinary demon bones. According to the analysis, this dragon bone came from a powerful Dragon King, who was equivalent to a Grand Scholar of the human race, but even more powerful. If it was just an ordinary damaged dragon bone, I definitely wouldn't say that it was a top-grade dragon bone. This was because Fang Xusheng had personally admitted that the dragon bone originated from the Mutant Spirit Bone. It was even more extraordinary! This item … "
Fang Yun didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He couldn't bear to take out the good dragon bones, so he only took out some broken dragon bones. Even the Spirit Bones of the Holy Ground were not used for this dragon bone, yet the old auctioneer had praised it to the heavens.
"The starting price is ten thousand taels of silver, and each increment is one thousand taels of silver. If you wish to increase the price further, please state your price with your tongue. Begin! "
"Ding …" A Hanlin Academy official's seal was infused with talent, and a crisp sound rang out.
"Ding!" Another sound rang out.
There were no loud bids, and no one was impatient. The whole process was very peaceful. Even the sound was pleasing to the ear.
It wasn't until the 30th ring that there was a short pause in the auction.
"Forty-one thousand taels of silver, bought by a Hanlin Academy official from Wu Guo. Who likes this item more?"
Fang Yun shook his head gently. He naturally understood the auctioneer's means. He deliberately revealed Wu Guo's identity and let the people of the country who were not on good terms with Wu Guo compete.
Sure enough, the people of Qi and Jingguo who were not on good terms with Wu Guo began to increase the price.
However. Everyone present knew the value of this dragon bone. This dragon bone was barely equivalent to the bones of an ordinary Demon King, and the final price was seventy-five thousand taels of silver. It was ten percent more than the market price, so it was not a loss to buy it.
Then, the second item was auctioned. It was ten tree roots of different sizes.
"The tree roots of the Mutant Wood Tribe Demon King! It has been preserved in the River Shell, and there is still moist juice in the roots. Whether it is boiled in soup or made into medicine, it is a top-grade item. The Mutant Wood is extremely rare in the ten thousand worlds. Even if it appears, it is in groups. Often, you have to wait outside the Mutant Wood Tribe for several years to harvest some roots … "
This time, the auctioneer did not make false advertising. The Mutant Wood was in the "Strange Creatures" category. Although the level of the Strange Creatures was lower than the True Dragon, it was similar to ordinary Dragons. The worst was equivalent to a Flood Dragon, far more than ordinary Demons and Barbarians. The roots of the Mutant Wood were indeed very rare and had extremely high medicinal value. Even the Half-saint family had a huge demand for them.
In the end, the ten tree roots were auctioned for a total of 2.75 million taels of silver.
Yang Yuhuan, Su Xiaoxiao, and the others were extremely surprised. They did not expect the value of this divine item to be so high. The tax of a county was only about one million taels of silver a year.
If the total assets of a family reached 500,000 taels of silver, it was enough to influence a county.
This price was twice as high as Fang Yun's expectation.
One item after another was auctioned. It was the first time that Fang Yun participated in his own special auction, and he found it very interesting.
Ao Huang whispered, "The auction is very fun. Do you want me to pull out a few dragon scales to auction? This dragon will personally introduce them. They will definitely sell for a high price! "
Nunu rolled her eyes at Ao Huang. She completely regarded this True Dragon as a fool.
"Let's talk about it later." Fang Yun thought that Nunu had good taste.
The turnover increased at an extremely fast speed, and soon it exceeded ten million taels of silver.
After the twelfth item, the auctioneer smiled and looked around the auction house. He cleared his throat and said loudly, "The thirteenth item is not a divine item, but Fang Xusheng's first famous ancient poem. It was with this poem that he became a top three student! This poem is' Spring Dawn ', which was written by him himself! "
Then, four young boys excitedly walked to the auction stage and loudly recited "Spring Dawn".
"Sleeping in spring, I hear birds singing everywhere. The sound of wind and rain at night, I know how many flowers fall! "
The people below the stage whispered to each other.
The old auctioneer said loudly, "This old man got this item yesterday and couldn't sleep at night! If Fang Xusheng is a book, then this poem is the prologue of the book. It has an inestimable meaning! This is Fang Xusheng's first famous work, and it is also the first famous work in the examination hall! Not only does this poem have great significance, but it has also reached the level of Mingzhou! If it is passed down for thousands of years, it might even reach the level of Zhen! What kind of luck is this to be able to buy a Zhen poem at the price of Mingzhou? "
The voices in the auction house became louder. Countless birds flew out from the official seal, asking for the opinions of their family elders.
The old auctioneer was very satisfied. He thought for a moment and said, "Spring Dawn, a poem written by Fang Xusheng. The starting price is one million taels of silver. Each increment is one hundred thousand taels of silver."
"Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding …"
The calm sound of the official seal from before disappeared. At the same time, more than a hundred sounds were heard!
Even the Kong Sheng family participated in the auction!
The Kong Family's Literary Name was at its peak, but it was strong in the classics. The Kong Family's poetry was too ordinary. If they could get Fang Yun's famous work into the Kong Family, it would definitely be extraordinary.
Suddenly, a loud voice sounded.
"Ten million!"
Many people almost cursed. "Spring Dawn" was estimated to be around six million taels of silver. After all, this was not the original work. No matter how high the price was, it could only reach nine million taels of silver. That person had opened his mouth and asked for ten million taels of silver. It was too much.
"Hehe …" Ao Huang suddenly laughed softly.
Fang Yun felt that the voice was familiar. After thinking carefully, he immediately remembered that it was the voice of the Qingyi Dragon Marquis.
