After the black-bearded old man made a simple opening statement, he announced to everyone neatly: "Everyone, today's auction will be held for one day. One hundred yuan stones will be auctioned every day, and a total of three hundred yuan stones will be auctioned. The following is
, let’s welcome the first round of auction items today!”
After saying this, four shirtless men carried a huge stone onto the stage. The Yuan Stone had a strange shape, shaped like a fierce lion, and was as huge as a house.
When everyone saw such a large Yuan Stone, they couldn't help but exclaimed. Someone said: "Why does this Yuan Stone look like a lion? Could it be deliberately carved?"
After hearing his words, many people showed contemptuous expressions, and some even said: "The shell of the Yuan Stone is extremely hard. If you want to break it, most of the people present can do it. But if you want to carve it into such a shape,
I'm afraid very few people can do it. Furthermore, no one can know the thickness of the hard shell of the Yuan Stone. If you are not careful, the spirit or the spirit-like breath inside will be leaked. In this way, this Yuan Stone still has
Is it valuable?”
Hearing this, the person who raised the suspicion before couldn't help but blush, lowered his head and remained silent.
Zhang Jun stared at the lion-shaped Yuan Stone and looked at it again and again, secretly observing with Buddha's eyes. He saw a lion-shaped light and shadow moving back and forth inside the Yuan Stone, sometimes looking up to the sky and roaring, and sometimes standing still.
Seeing this situation, coupled with his many experiences with the Yuan Stone, he can judge that there is a high possibility that the Yuan Stone contains an innate spiritual treasure. However, he cannot be 100% sure, and he is at most about 80% sure.
He was observing, and the others were also studying and pondering. Everyone who could come here was not a weakling, and each had his or her own magical means. Some monks simply jumped on the stage and got closer to observe, touching here and knocking there, with different expressions.
Some frowned and thought, some smiled, and they all seemed to be somewhat sure.
But most people were talking softly in the audience and making comments.
Seeing everyone's interest aroused, the black-bearded old man said: "Everyone, this lion-shaped primeval stone is called the walking lion stone. It was previously kept in the Daxia Palace. After appraisal by many experts, it has a high probability of unlocking spiritual objects.
More than 50%. Of course, there is no way to know what kind of inspiration can be unlocked. But what can be concluded is that if a spiritual object can be unlocked, it must be extremely extraordinary and priceless."
"I'm going to announce that the starting price of this Yuan Stone is 5 billion spiritual crystals, and each increase in price must not be less than 500 million. Okay, the bidding has officially begun!"
As soon as the black-bearded old man finished speaking, someone below called out the price: "I'll pay five billion."
If someone could buy this Yuan Stone for five billion, it would definitely not be expensive. After all, if a spiritual object could really be unlocked, the value of the spiritual object must exceed ten billion.
It was precisely because of this calculation that everyone was vying for it, and those who increased the price flocked to it. Five and a half billion, six billion, six and a half billion, and the price easily exceeded eight billion.
Once the price reached 8 billion, the number of bidders dropped sharply, and only a dozen or so people were still in a stalemate. After they fought hard, the price finally exceeded 10 billion.
Ten billion is another mark, and there are only two people still bidding. One of them is the second prince, and the other is an old man with blue eyes and blue skin.
At this point, Zhang Jun hesitated for a moment and ordered the puppet Ninth Prince to bid. If he personally participated in today's auction, it would be too high-profile and would inevitably attract people's suspicion.
So he asked the Ninth Prince to come forward, and the things he took still belonged to him. Furthermore, the Ninth Prince had a high status and could act as a deterrent during the auction, forcing those who had financial resources but not much strength to dare not go too far with it.
Competition, thereby minimizing the consumption of spiritual crystals.
As soon as the puppet Ninth Prince came forward, he reported 1.2 billion spiritual crystals.
As soon as the price came out, the second prince and the blue-skinned old man were dumbfounded. They both looked at the puppet ninth prince with idiotic expressions. They were both experts. According to their estimation, the price of this Yuan Stone was only about
Between 11 billion and 12 billion. Once it exceeds 12 billion, the risk is too great, and wise people will not take it.
The Ninth Prince raised the price to 12 billion as soon as he came up. He was obviously an amateur. Therefore, the two of them stopped fighting with him and gave up directly.
In this way, the puppet Ninth Prince took the lion-shaped stone in one fell swoop. He walked up to the stage with a cold expression, handed over the spiritual crystal, and took the lion-shaped stone directly.
As soon as he stepped off the stage, a group of monks gathered around him. Someone said: "Your Majesty, Ninth Prince, if you can unlock the spiritual object, I, Wanbaoxuan, are willing to pay a high price to buy it."
Another person said: "Your Majesty the Ninth Prince, my Tiangong Tower is good at cracking Yuan Stone. If the Ninth Prince has any inconvenience, he can ask us to do it for him at a favorable price."
The Ninth Prince ignored these people and went straight back to his seat to wait for the next round of auction.
At this time, in a private room located in a small folding space, a heroic young man sat in the center. To his left and right were two beautiful young women.
The woman on the left curled her lips when she saw that the Ninth Prince had obtained the Yuan Stone and said, "Your Highness, this Ninth Prince seems to be confident."
The woman on the right was disapproving and sneered: "Meixiang, when did you ever hear anyone say that the ninth prince knows how to identify yuan stones? I think he is deliberately competing with the second prince for the limelight so as to attract the attention of Princess Feihong. You haven't seen it,
Is Princess Feihong also present?"
The young man known as His Highness is the eldest prince of Daxia. He has been fighting abroad all year round and does not want to appear here. He said: "Mei Xiang is right. This ninth prince usually keeps a low profile, but he is not an idiot. He took action decisively today.
He must have received guidance from an expert, otherwise he wouldn't be so generous."
When Mei Xiang heard the compliment, she was very happy and asked: "Since His Highness thinks so, why don't you compete with him for the Yuan Stone?"
His Highness said calmly: "Three hundred yuan stones will be sold in this auction, and the finale is still to come. Why are you anxious? If you have the strength, you should save it for the critical moment."
While talking, the second round of auction began.
A strong man walked up to the high platform with a plate in his hands, and the plate was covered with a piece of silk. When he stood in the center of the stage, the black-bearded old man announced: "Dear friends, this is a square primeval stone called 'Heaven and Earth Seal'."
', comes from a mysterious place outside Daxia. There are natural text inscriptions on the Yuan Stone, and the four words are 'I am the only one who is supreme'."
Having said this, the strong man untied the silk cloth and revealed what was inside. As expected, it was a large square white seal the size of a human head.
There was a layer of purple clouds and smoke surrounding the big seal. The clouds and smoke actually condensed into the shapes of birds, beasts, soldiers, horses, and humans. At the same time, an aura of latitude and longitude was released from the Yuan Stone, making people feel like they wanted to worship.
There are indeed four big characters below the big seal, written in sacred script, called "I am the only one who is supreme". As soon as this seal came out, the scene became excited, and many people stared at the "Seal of Heaven and Earth".
The black-bearded old man smiled slightly and was very satisfied with everyone's reaction. He said: "This Heaven and Earth Seal is the 72nd treasure on the Yuanshi List. It seems that your eyesight is excellent. Here, its
The starting price is 1.2 billion spiritual crystals, and each bid increase must not be less than 1 billion. Next, the auction begins."
Everyone's interest in the Heaven and Earth Seal far exceeded that of the previous walking lion stone. The price soared, ranging from 12 billion, 13 billion, 15 billion, and soon climbed to 20 billion.
Zhang Jun did not agree with this. He observed with Buddha's eyes and saw that there was a breath wandering inside the Yuan Stone. According to his speculation, that breath should be the reason for the aura and supernatural power of the Heaven and Earth Seal.
What he can conclude is that this Yuan Stone will never be able to extract spiritual objects. At most, it can dissect a strange aura. As for what that aura is, he cannot judge.
In the private room in the small folded space, the eldest prince finally made some movement, and his faint but majestic voice came out: "Twenty-one billion."
When this price was announced, the scene suddenly became quite quiet. Two billion is already the financial limit of most people. However, there are still seven or eight people competing and holding on.
After the eldest prince quoted the price, they raised the price to 24 billion.
"Twenty-five billion!" The second prince participated in the bidding again. At the same time, he glanced vaguely at the small space where the eldest prince was, as if he heard the identity of the bidder.
The eldest prince frowned slightly. The price actually reached 25 billion, and he couldn't help but hesitate. Based on his eyesight, the price of this Yuan Stone cannot exceed 24 billion. Once it exceeds, he will have to bear too much risk.
He was a very rational person and gave up the bidding after thinking for a moment.
The remaining people were still unwilling to give up, and finally raised the price even higher. The second prince bought the "Heaven and Earth Seal" for 28 billion.
After arriving on the stage and taking away the seal of heaven and earth, the second prince glanced at the direction of Princess Feihong, which was meaningful. Princess Feihong was sitting next to the fifth prince, and she ignored the second prince's gaze.
She asked the Fifth Prince: "Your Highness, these first two Yuan Stones have opened people's eyes. I wonder what today's final Yuan Stone will be like."
The fifth prince smiled slightly. He gently shook his folding fan and said in a dashing manner: "Today's auction of one hundred yuan of inspiration, these two pieces can only be regarded as mid-range goods. When it comes to the final Yuan Stone, even the palace officials are extremely coveted. You
You’ll know in a moment.”
Gu Yexiu smiled "haha" and added: "Although there are countless treasures in the South China Sea, when it comes to the number of Yuan Stones, they are far from comparable to those on land."
Princess Feihong obviously thought so. She nodded and said: "Although there are many treasures in the South China Sea, it is a pity that Yuan Stone is difficult to find. Otherwise, the South China Sea will be twice as prosperous as it is now."
Next, one piece of Yuan Stone was auctioned off. The price of these Yuan Stones ranged from billions to tens of billions.
Time passed, but Zhang Jun did not waste any time. One of his clones entered another auction house and auctioned the set of elixirs in cooperation with others, including the Providence Pill, Star Reaching Pill, and Tribulation Elixir Pill.
The price of the elixirs auctioned this time could reach roughly four to five billion, which was the maximum profit. However, he only auctioned twenty sets, and then left.
