After the Azure Robe Dragon Marquis bid ten million taels of silver, there was no response from the official seal for a long time. +
The Half-saint aristocratic families could still tolerate it, but countless aristocratic families were secretly complaining. Dragons were famous for not wanting money. In previous auctions in Kong City, 90% of the poems and articles were won by Dragons.
Dragons would even bid at a high price for divine items, let alone gold and silver. None of the human families could compete with Dragons in terms of wealth.
"Azure Robe Dragon Marquis, although Dragons have always dominated auctions, such a bid doesn't show the magnanimity of Dragons. After all, this is an auction for humans," said a wealthy family head.
"Yes, yes …" Many people agreed and turned to look at the private room on the second floor.
"Cut the crap. Today, the Eastern Sea Dragon Palace will take all of Fang Yun's poems and articles!"
The crowd was in an uproar.
"How can a human's item be given to an outsider?"
"Azure Robe Dragon Marquis is unwise to make an enemy out of all humans."
"Dragons are used to being overbearing. They don't take us seriously!"
"Fang Xusheng's item naturally belongs to the human race!"
Ao Huang pointed below and turned to Fang Yundao. "Look at these people. The auction is a competition of wealth. Whoever has it will buy it. If you don't want it, stop nagging."
"You are quite naggy," Fang Yun said with a smile.
"How can this be called nagging? This is called a battle of words! "
"Ding …"
Someone increased the bid.
The Azure Robe Dragon Marquis said unhurriedly, "Twelve million."
"Ding …" Someone added another 100,000.
"Fourteen million taels of silver!"
There was no bidding, only some light coughs.
It was Fang Yun's first time participating in an auction. He was slightly surprised by the price. Saint Origin World had a dense population and rich resources. The taxes were also heavier than in ancient China. However, fourteen million taels of silver was almost equivalent to an ordinary prefecture's annual tax revenue.
A one-time expenditure of ten million taels of silver was already beyond the limits of most aristocratic families. Only the Lei family, the Mo family, and some other top-notch wealthy families could afford this amount of money.
It wasn't that ordinary wealthy families couldn't take out banknotes for transactions that exceeded ten million, but it would cause difficulties for the family's turnover in the future. If something happened again, they could only sell or pawn their jewelry and properties.
An old voice rang out, "Fang Xusheng's masterpiece is of extraordinary significance. 15 million."
Fang Yun didn't know who this person was, but from the discussions below, he knew that this person was one of the Kong Clan's Head Stewards, the highest position a member of the Kong Clan's side branch could reach. He was in charge of the Kong Clan's innumerable wealth.
"Sixteen million!"
"17 million!"
"18 million …"
One of them was the Dragons Marquis. One of them was the head steward of the Kong Clan. He was actually competing with the other, causing the bidding price of the Spring Dawn to soar.
After the Green Robed Dragon Marquis called out a high price of 22 million, the Kong Clan's manager did not immediately raise the price.
Yang Yuhuan couldn't help but say, "What a high price. This is already worth 20 million. If it's Little Yun's Spring Dawn's first edition, how much would it be worth? "
Zhao Hongzhuang said, "An ordinary first edition of Mingzhou's poems is only worth two million taels of silver. But Fang Yun's is different. If he really sells his first edition one day, it will be worth a lot. If he sells it one day, he will have to use a divine item to exchange for it. This book is worth this price. "
"Gold and silver are mere worldly possessions. There's no need to value it so much!" Ao Huang was abnormally excited, as if he was participating in the auction himself.
Seeing that the Kong Clan's manager was no longer speaking, the auctioneer immediately said, "The first edition of Spring Dawn must be locked up in the Notre-Dame. No one can take it out, so this second edition of Spring Dawn can be considered a fake first edition. Its value is immeasurable! The Green Robed Dragon Marquis bid 22 million. Who else is willing to bid a higher price? "
All the wealthy families had already given up on bidding, but those who could afford it were in a dilemma. If it was a nation-stabilizing poem. Not to mention 20 million, even if it was 60 million or 80 million, they would still be willing to pay. However, since it wasn't the first edition and was only from Ming Zhou, 20 million was indeed too high.
If 20 million was converted into food, it would be enough to feed 2 million people for a year!
After a while, no one made a bid. The auctioneer smiled and said, "Congratulations to the Green Robed Dragon Marquis for winning Spring Dawn at 22 million. Next up is the fourteenth auction item … "
The auction continued. The next few items were all average. Next up were Fang Yun's poems and essays, but they were all from Ming Zhou and weren't as important as Spring Dawn. Normally, 6 to 7 million would be the highest price, but they were all bought by the Green Robed Dragon Marquis for more than 10 million.
The atmosphere in the auction hall was somewhat stifling. Fortunately, the Dragons didn't care about other divine items. Otherwise, the entire auction hall would have exploded.
Fang Yun sat leisurely on his chair, eating the fruits and pastries sent by the auction hall. He watched the show with a smile. To him, the higher the price, the better.
By noon, the total value of the auction had exceeded 100 million, but the auction didn't rest. The Chen Clan's auction hall had long been prepared. They ordered people to send pastries, fruits, and cold dishes to each table to ensure that no one would starve.
Fang Yun's items were all good and never went unsold. Even if they were items that the wealthy families didn't need, the final price would be higher than the market price.
As time passed, the number of people participating in the auction decreased. Some of the wealthy families changed their seats and gathered together with official seals, secretly communicating with each other.
Unknowingly, the last auction item was sent to the auction stage.
There was a short moment of silence in the auction hall, which was then followed by low murmurs.
In this auction, Fang Yun didn't take out any of the poems and essays of the nation. The highest was from Ming Zhou, but there was one item that was definitely comparable to the poems of the world!
The Three Character Classic.
The auctioneer smiled and said slowly, "I know everyone is waiting anxiously, but I still have to say that since the establishment of this auction house, we have never auctioned such a valuable divine item! Even if it was placed in the top auction house of the ten nations in Kong City, it would still be a top-notch item. In fact, it is a divine item coveted by all the races in the world! "
Yang Yuhuan couldn't understand and whispered to Zhao Hongzhuang, "I've read a lot of books these days and know that there are thousands of worlds. But aren't things of the human race bad for demons and barbarians?"
Zhao Hongzhuang explained patiently in a low voice, "There is something called 'filthy literature'. Demons and barbarians can use their powerful Qi and blood to reverse the effects of scriptures, not to mention that it contains the Three Character Classic."
The auctioneer's voice sounded again.
"In terms of collection value, I'm afraid that this book is only comparable to the poems of the nation. However, this book is not only valuable as a collection, but also has great practical value! In the human race, it resonates with the Three Character Classic of the All Saints Hall and is connected to the fate of the human race. It contains the true path of enlightenment! In the demon world, if it is tainted by the blood of a saint, it is enough to make demons and barbarians smarter! Everyone should have heard some legends about the path of enlightenment. "
Fang Yun nodded slightly. This time, the auctioneer wasn't talking nonsense.
