But just when even the auctioneer thought Xu Qian's bid was the final price, a sign was raised.
The auctioneer was a little moved by the raising of the placard this time. It was not because of how expensive these slaves were. In the eyes of the auctioneer who was used to seeing big waves, the Star Source Stone was nothing at all. It was also not because someone actually bid 10 yuan, which was too much.
Strangely, in the auction industry, it is common for the final bid to be much higher than the normal price.
What moved the auctioneer was that the bidder turned out to be this old man. No, to be precise, it was the bodyguard beside the old man.
Many people have noticed this situation. In fact, no one knows the identity of this old man, but the heads of the auction trading center and the organizer have appeared before, and it is obvious that the old man is following his lead. No one thinks that such a person will
It was just a shot, and it was a blockbuster as soon as it was made. These 33 slaves are not very rare and precious, it can even be said that if you have money, you can buy them, and who can come into this venue, who doesn't have more than ten or twenty slaves in his family?
Okay, maybe people have this demand now, which is understandable. Maybe they came to buy the finale treasure, and they just remembered that they should add some slaves to the family, so they bought it by the way, but this is just an example.
What's the matter with the brand? Shouldn't such a big shot just shout out the price so high that no one can pick it up? It's hard to tell if it's a very valuable treasure. After all, it often costs a lot of money, but it's just a few dollars.
It’s about the Star Source Stone!
Xu Qian doesn't care so much, even if no matter how big a person is, he will take it. If he can't get it by spending money, he will have to rob it in the end, so he has to work hard when he can spend money.
Xu Qian did not call out the price this time, but just raised the sign in his hand, which meant that he raised the price to 11 Star Source Stones. This was already the market price. In the eyes of others, buying at this price
There is no advantage to be gained from buying this batch of slaves. Whoever pays this price is either unfamiliar with the market, or has another purpose, or there is another possibility: grudge.
"Actually, I never asked you, why do you have to save those people in Dongshan? Are there anyone you know there?" Lin Qiaoni learned that Xu Qian wanted to save people. At first, she thought it was the need of the game and didn't think much about it.
Later she realized that this was just Xu Qian's personal choice, and it could even be said that doing this was not cost-effective in terms of scoring points in the game.
"Because their ending should not be like this."
Lin Qiaoni rarely saw such a serious expression on Xu Qian's face, and seemed to understand.
A sound of surprise rang out, "Mr. Xu, he continued to hold up his placards. This is so strange." Vivian had been paying attention to the auction. When everyone thought that the hammer in the auctioneer's hand was about to fall, the old man
The bodyguard actually raised the small sign high again.
12 Star Source Stones! This is already beyond the normal price.
No one present could understand that this kind of thing happened from time to time during auctions, but it had never happened to Chinese slaves.
It would be understandable if there were relatives and friends of the bidders among these slaves, but these people were all from China. That was another time and space. How could people from the Tang Dynasty be related to people from China?
Xu Qian was also very confused and angry. What on earth did this old guy want to do? He could have obtained it with only 9 Star Source Stones, but now that it was like this, one Star Source Stone was worth 1.45 million yuan to him.
Although he is rich now, he still cares deeply about money. Why does such an old guy suddenly appear to rob him?
The two of them fought back and forth until they reached 17 Star Source Stones, before the hammer in the auctioneer's hand finally fell. The whole place presented a very strange atmosphere. Who would have thought that the climax of today's auction would occur here.
The old man looked back at Xu Qian and shook his head, not unconvinced, but helpless.
But at that glance, the other bidders had a different interpretation. This old man was obviously not an ordinary person. Who would be willing to have a grudge against such a person because of dozens of slaves? People would not think that the old man gave up because he could not afford the price.
, but Xu Qian really angered the old man completely for some reason. This look from the old man was proof.
The deposit for the auction has already been paid when applying for the invitation letter, so Xu Qian does not need to hand over the Star Source Stone immediately. He only needs to wait until the entire auction is over and then go through the formalities with the auction center. Of course, if
If you want to leave early, you can go through the formalities immediately.
Although he paid twice as much Star Source Stone because he was forced by the old man, he won in the end. After achieving his goal in such a relaxed and peaceful way, Xu Qian was in a happy mood, and he was not in a hurry to leave.
He might as well stay and take a look. Auctions are also a place where he can gain knowledge. Especially the last few lots, he is quite interested in. Even if he can't afford them, it's good to take a look. If there's anything worth selling, then think of it.
Find a way, that's how the game is meant to be played.
Nearly half an hour later, the auction was approaching the end, and the competing items had reached the third to last one.
A picture scroll was hung on a wooden frame with wheels, and was pushed out from the backcourt by two beauties dressed in ancient costumes. The picture scroll was about two meters long, and the content was an ink landscape.
The auctioneer confidently introduced: "This painting is called "Unknown Fairy Mountain", and it is said to have been painted by an immortal." As soon as he said this, the whole audience was shocked.
Even in the Tang Empire, immortals were just a legend. In the auction houses, the items that could fetch sky-high prices were treasures from the immortal world. There had never been any immortal things. It was still open to question whether the immortal world existed or not. Suddenly,
A painting of an immortal pops up. Isn’t this nonsense?
The auctioneer was used to seeing this kind of scene, and he didn't care about the uproar. "Although this painting was written by an immortal, nothing special has been found so far. In other words, it is just an ordinary landscape painting."
This time, there was only silence in the whole place.
Just an ordinary landscape painting? Didn’t it come from the hands of an immortal?
The auctioneer said nothing, he wanted the bullet to fly for a while.
Sure enough, many bidders in the field were whispering to each other. There was indeed an introduction to this scroll on the previous list of competing items, but everyone who saw it felt that it was just a gimmick at the auction center. Even from the words of this famous auctioneer,
Even if I say it, no one can believe it.
"How can the paintings of immortals be ordinary things? I think this is an ordinary painting and has nothing to do with immortals at all."
"Immortals are just legends. Many ordinary people can't tell the difference between immortals and immortal cultivators. At most, this is a painting by an immortal cultivator. In the eyes of many people, it is also a painting by an immortal."
"It's impossible for the Los Angeles Auction Trading Center to lie to people. If it were just an ordinary painting, how could it be placed so far back? This is almost the last competing item, the finale."
"But it seems to make sense. Immortals' paintings don't necessarily necessarily contain some kind of magical weapon. Immortals can just draw them casually, but they don't necessarily have any mysteries."
"Yes, if it is really made by an immortal and has something extraordinary, it will definitely be the last competing item at the bottom of the box. It might even cause a sensation in the entire Tang Dynasty, and even be recorded in the auction history of the Tang Dynasty."
After a discussion among the participants, the auctioneer slowly said: "It is not our auction house that has the final say that it was written by an immortal, but it was approved by Master Jinghong. Please take a look...
…”
The auctioneer showed a certification certificate. He pointed his finger at one place, and an illusory figure appeared in front of everyone.
"I am Jinghong. This "Unknown Landscape" scroll contains real immortal energy, which is far beyond what we ordinary immortals can compare with. Despite the age, the immortal energy has gathered and never dissipated. I am certain that this scroll must have come from
Immortal Hands."
In just such a short period of time, the illusory figure disappeared immediately, and the entire auction hall immediately became a sensation.
Jinghong, the Immortal Wind Daogu, is a relatively active immortal cultivator in the Tang Dynasty. He often appears in some media and is relatively familiar to the public. In Chinese terms, he has a good mass base and is an immortal cultivator star with his own traffic.
