Ye Bufan sat between the two women, looked around, and then dispersed his consciousness.
Backstage at the auction, there was a room that was extremely well-defended. Not only were there layers of bodyguards guarding the door, but three security doors were also installed inside.
When the consciousness entered the room, infrared anti-theft devices were crisscrossed and dense like a spider web. There was a huge shelf in the middle of the room with dozens of items placed on it.
He soon realized that this was where the treasures from the auction should be stored.
Anyway, I have nothing to do. Let’s see if there are any treasures in the items being auctioned today?
He saw the same thing. It was similar to domestic auctions. Most of the things here were antiques such as porcelain, calligraphy and paintings.
"Hey, what is this?"
Feeling a wave of mana, I scanned it with my spiritual consciousness and found it was a staff.
The material of this staff is the bones of some monster beast. It should have been a relatively powerful existence in life. Unfortunately, the refining method is too rough, and it only reaches the level of a low-grade spiritual weapon.
In the eyes of ordinary practitioners, this is a rare treasure, but it is completely inaccessible to him.
Then he saw a two-meter-long wooden stake next to the staff, about 30 centimeters in diameter, with a dark and uneven surface.
This somewhat attracted his interest. Why is wood still being sold at the auction?
Then his spiritual consciousness discovered that this wooden pile actually contained the universe. Although it was still invisible to him, it was stronger than the staff just now.
Ye Bufan glanced over them one by one, looking at all the lots. Suddenly, a piece of smoked leather in the last corner attracted his attention.
This thing doesn't have too much spiritual energy, but it has a simple and elegant atmosphere. It is definitely a good thing that has been around for a while.
After careful observation, I couldn't tell what material it was made of. Even after so many years, there were no signs of damage. It was engraved with various patterns, like a map.
He immediately felt how extraordinary this thing was, and after careful observation, he found that it was indeed a map.
However, it seems that it should be part of the original map, and it is estimated from the cross-section that it is about 1/4. Because it is incomplete, it is impossible to analyze from the existing routes which part is depicted on the map.
Although it is only an incomplete part, it is definitely a good thing. Maybe after putting together the map, you can discover a treasure or find a different opportunity.
It can be seen from the Dragon King Palace that there are definitely treasures left over from ancient times in this land, but they have not been discovered yet.
Thinking of this, Ye Bufan has already made a decision. He can reject the other auction items, but he must get this residual picture.
"Ye Jun, what are you thinking about?"
At this time, Watanabe Yui pulled his sleeves and changed his thoughts back.
"Oh! What's the matter?"
Ye Bufan asked.
"Ye Jun, don't be afraid, he can't do anything to you as long as I'm here."
It turned out that when Yui Watanabe saw that he remained silent, she thought she was scared by Tanaka Koji.
"Am I afraid of him?"
Ye Bufan chuckled. Tanaka Koji's little cultivation was not enough in his eyes, and he didn't take it to heart at all.
"That's good..."
Watanabe Yui was considerate and didn't say anything else. A woman like her is like a female tyrannosaurus before she is conquered. Once she gets close to someone, she is like an obedient little sheep.
Although she thought that Ye Bufan was just holding on, considering the man's face, she did not reveal it, but secretly decided to protect this man at all times.
At this moment, there was another noise at the door, and then a dozen people walked in.
The clothes of these people are very similar to those of Tanaka Koji. They all wear onmyoji's unique robes, but the marks engraved on their chests are completely different.
The leader was a short, fat man with a faint smile on his face. He looked very kind, but gave people a very dangerous feeling.
After the short, fat man entered the door, people immediately came forward to bow and say hello. It was obvious that he had a very high status.
Ye Bufan asked: "Who is he?"
Watanabe Yui whispered in his ear: "Sato Kishi of the Sato family has reached the level of a master of magic, and is not inferior to Tanaka Koji in the slightest."
Seeing the two people talking too intimately, the murderous intent on Tanaka Koji's face became even more intense, and he wanted to kill the Chinese man immediately.
But now that he was at the auction site, and Yui Watanabe was there, he could only temporarily suppress the murderous intention in his heart.
Both belong to the Onmyoji family, but Kishi Sato and Koji Tanaka have completely different styles. They always have a smile on their faces, giving people a feeling of spring breeze.
But Ye Bufan could feel that this man was definitely a smiling tiger. If he was deceived by his kindness, he would probably be eaten to pieces.
"Hey, Miss Chiba, Miss Yui, are you here too?"
According to the status of the Sato family, he was also placed in the first row of the auction, sitting on the other side of Ye Bufan and others, and greeted Yui Watanabe and others affectionately.
Chiba Ishida nodded politely, but Yui Watanabe ignored him. She only had eyes for Ye Bufan, and no one else was even interested in taking a look.
Sato Kishi smiled and didn't care, and looked at Tanaka Koji who was further away.
"Isn't this Young Master Tanaka? Why does he look so unhappy?"
Ye Bufan thought to himself, as expected, this guy is not a good guy. As soon as he arrived here, he started to provoke the anger of that idiot Tanaka Koji.
"You don't have to worry about it."
Tanaka Koji snorted and turned his head away.
At this time, it was time for the auction, and a sweet-looking female auctioneer wearing a kimono walked onto the auction stage.
"Dear guests, welcome to today's auction..."
After some polite greetings, the auctioneer officially entered the topic.
"Dear guests, our first item for auction today has a great background. The appraiser at our venue said that this is a rare spiritual artifact, which can be said to be a priceless treasure..."
The female auctioneer was very experienced. She quickly highlighted the quality of the lot and whetted the appetites of everyone present. Then she said, "Now please present our first lot, Dragon Bone Method."
Rod."
Soon, a staff member sent the staff in the treasure room to the auction stage.
A smile appeared on Ye Bufan's lips. This store really dared to say anything, and even had a dragon bone staff.
This thing is just made from the bones of a monster beast. If it were a dragon bone, even a fool could make it into a spiritual treasure, instead of the current low-grade spiritual weapon.
But others did not have his vision, and the staff immediately caused an uproar after it came on stage.
Dragon Bone Staff, this gimmick alone attracted the attention of countless people.
However, they also clearly knew that there were two major Onmyoji families sitting here, and they were definitely out of luck.
Tanaka Koji and Sato Kishi came to the auction together, probably because of this thing.
On the stage, the auctioneer continued: "Everyone, this is a rare magic weapon. You must not miss the opportunity. The bidding starts now. The starting price is 1 million US dollars. Each increase in price will not be less than 100,000 US dollars..."
After the base price was announced, there was an uproar. One million U.S. dollars is equivalent to seven to eight million Chinese dollars. It was only a starting price, which shows how precious it is. It is not known how high it will be in the end.
