When night fell, the sky finally turned completely dark.
In the afternoon, the four of them didn't walk around, but casually found a teahouse to rest. After dark, the four of them walked out of the teahouse and headed towards the Azure Dragon Chamber of Commerce's auction house.
On the long street, there were many noble carriages and even strange beasts heading towards the auction house. This time, the Sky Theft Intelligence Auction had attracted too many people, it could be described as completely overcrowded.
When the four of them arrived at the entrance of the auction house, there were already countless maids waiting to welcome the guests. After the four of them walked over, Liu Yi handed over her invitation card before leading the three of them in.
"This auction also requires an invitation card?" Lu An asked doubtfully.
"Yes." Liu Yi nodded and said, "I guess the Azure Dragon Chamber of Commerce made this invitation card to collect information about rich people from all over the world, but it doesn't require all of them. If you pay enough, you can also enter here, but the fee is very expensive, no one is willing to pay. "
Lu An nodded and the four of them followed the maids to the main hall and sat down. The four of them didn't have a private room, or more accurately, none of them had a private room.
The private rooms on the second and third floor were all empty and dark. Even though the main hall was very crowded, the private rooms on the upper two floors were still closed, it was obvious that this was done on purpose.
"This Azure Dragon Chamber of Commerce seems to be trying to cause a dispute." Liu Yi frowned, looked around and said, "In here, I've already seen many business partners. If we fight with each other, our business dealings will more or less be affected. "
Lu An nodded slightly, this was indeed very scheming, after all, destroying other people's business dealings was beneficial to oneself.
In less than half an hour, the entire main hall was completely filled. This main hall was very large, it could hold nearly a thousand people. Such a large-scale auction was rarely seen even in the Azure Dragon Chamber of Commerce.
Many people had been waiting for a long time, constantly urging the maids to hurry up. At this time, the entire auction house suddenly darkened, leaving only a few gems flickering, emitting a faint light. Everyone's heart trembled, they all knew that the auction was about to begin.
Sure enough, a person walked onto the stage from the side. This was a very charming woman. Most of the people in charge of the auction were women. This was not surprising.
"Today, all of you are here for the information on 'Sky Bandits'." The woman smiled and spread out her arms. "Moreover, many of you here are businessmen with rich backgrounds or powerful experts. Ordinary items are just a joke in the eyes of you distinguished guests. Therefore, we will not auction anything else today. There is no foreshadowing and we will go straight to the main topic."
Hearing the woman's words, everyone nodded in satisfaction. Indeed, if other items were to be auctioned first, no one would be interested.
"Our Azure Dragon Chamber of Commerce has said in advance that we will sell a total of five copies of the information and auction them off separately. All of them will be sold by tonight." The woman said loudly, "Next, I will be auctioning off the first piece of information. I would like to remind everyone not to wait until the end to bid, because those who buy the information first can leave the auction in advance and head straight to the Sky Robber's tomb."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's body trembled. Of course, they knew this, but that wasn't what surprised them. Someone asked directly, "You mean to say that your information is very accurate and we don't need to waste any more effort to find it?"
"Of course!" The woman smiled confidently and said, "Our Azure Dragon Chamber of Commerce has always been honest when doing business. We will never sell fake items. The information is the precise location of the tomb. Furthermore, the Azure Dragon Chamber of Commerce promises that we will never excavate it in advance. "
Everyone in the hall nodded. With this promise, they would feel more at ease. A light flashed in the woman's hand, and an extremely beautiful brocade box appeared in her hand.
"The brocade box contains the first piece of information." The woman smiled and placed the brocade box on the table beside her. She said, "There is a book on everyone's table. Inside, there are many pills, Heaven Arts, materials, crystal cores, etc. The price will be calculated in Azure Dragon Gold. The amount will be Azure Dragon Gold. If you can't find the item you want in the book, you can ask the maid for help. "
Everyone looked at the book on the table. In fact, they had already flipped through the book many times. Liu Yi already knew the contents of the book.
Azure Dragon Gold was the highest standard currency of the Azure Dragon Chamber of Commerce. Only goods of the seventh grade and above were qualified to be measured in Azure Dragon Gold. Of course, the four major chambers of commerce of the Montenegrin Empire were the same. Seventh grade items were priced from one Azure Dragon Gold to twenty Azure Dragon Gold. If it was an eighth grade item, it would be worth at least one hundred Azure Dragon Gold.
"If everyone has no questions, then the auction for the first piece of information will now officially begin!" The woman said loudly.
Immediately, the noisy hall became silent. Everyone was silent and looked around. For a moment, no one made a bid.
They didn't know how much the first piece of information was worth.
After about ten breaths, someone finally shouted, "One hundred Azure Dragon Gold!"
One hundred?
Everyone's face revealed a smile, but this smile was full of disdain. Someone who could shout out a hundred Azure Dragon Gold was definitely here to joke.
However, when someone made a bid, the battle had no choice but to start.
"Two hundred!" Someone shouted.
"Three hundred …"
"…"
Hearing everyone's bid, Lu An was shocked. He, who originally thought that he was rich, couldn't help but feel guilty. He asked Liu Yi beside him, "Sister Yi, how much Azure Dragon Gold is the Meng Ling Water Pill worth?"
"Two hundred. If the quality is better, it can go up to two hundred and sixty." Liu Yi said.
Lu An's heart tightened. In other words, the five Meng Ling Water Pills that he refined were worth one to one thousand three hundred Azure Dragon Gold. Now, the price of the first piece of information had already reached eight hundred.
"One thousand!" Suddenly, someone directly bypassed the nine hundred and shouted directly. Everyone was shocked and looked over. Although the first piece of information was worth a thousand, it was still a watershed after all.
Many people here came from the major chambers of commerce of the four major empires. In the teachings of the major chambers of commerce, those who could bid more than a thousand were no longer individuals. They were truly chambers of commerce with a solid foundation.
"One thousand two hundred!" Someone raised his hand and shouted. This price had silenced most of the people present. However, there were also some people who had just opened their eyes, because the bidding had just begun.
"Sister Yi, how much do you think the tomb of the Sky Robber is worth?" Lu An asked in a low voice.
"It's hard to say." Liu Yi frowned and said, "However, I think that the value wouldn't be much lower than my Alkaid Chamber of Commerce. The reason why the Sky Robber is so famous is because he stole too many valuable things. However, I don't know how many of them he left behind in the tomb. "
Hearing this, Lu An's heart sank.
"However, this information is sold in five pieces, so the value naturally wouldn't be that high. I guess this is not only because the Azure Dragon Chamber of Commerce wants to earn more money, but also because if it were sold separately, I'm afraid that no chamber of commerce would be able to afford it." Liu Yi said.
Lu An nodded. After thinking for a while, he still asked the question in his heart, "Why doesn't the Azure Dragon Chamber of Commerce develop it themselves?"
Hearing this, Liu Yi's heart trembled. She said, "Usually, there are two possibilities for this situation. The first is that they don't have the strength to develop it. For example, they can't open the tomb, or the surroundings are filled with danger. They've tried before, but in the end, they all failed. The second situation is that the tomb itself is stolen goods. There's something inside that can't be seen by others, and people who touch it will get into trouble. The Azure Dragon Chamber of Commerce is a businessman. What they want is long-term, not risk. "
After hearing Liu Yi's explanation, Lu An also nodded in understanding. However, if it was the first situation, then even if they got the information first and arrived at the location first, it would be useless. However, if it was the second situation, then it would truly be first come first serve.
Just as Lu An asked, the bidding price had already risen to 1400.
Lu An's heart sank. 1400 had already exceeded the value of five Meng Ling Water Pills. On the side, Liu Yi was still calm, her eyes constantly looking around. In Liu Yi's heart, she never thought that five Meng Ling Water Pills would be enough to buy the first piece of information.
"1500!" On the side, another person raised his hand and shouted.
At this price, on the other side, the Heavenly Treasure Chamber of Commerce's young master, Liu Shou, who had been sitting and not bidding, finally moved. He raised his hand, ready to bid.
However, someone was faster than him.
"2000!"
Instantly, everyone present was shocked, and immediately turned to look at the source of the voice.
The person who raised her hand was none other than Liu Yi!
