Although this is only a small auction for the upper class, its level of formality is no less than that of a regular store.
For guests who come to the auction, each membership card number corresponds to an auction number plate. Ye Bufan came with Qin Chuchu, so the two of them shared the same number plate.
A slim female auctioneer in professional attire walked up to the front desk, and after a few polite words, announced that the auction had officially begun.
The order of the auction was exactly the opposite to that of the promotional poster. The Lucky Dzi Bead on the first page of the poster was placed at the end as the final auction item, while the unknown small black bottle became the first auction item.
The auctioneer announced the start of the auction, and a waiter wearing a red cheongsam walked up to the front desk carrying a tray.
When he saw the small black bottle on the tray, Ye Bufan's whole body trembled.
Others couldn't see anything, but as a cultivator, he immediately felt the rich spiritual energy emanating from the little black bottle. This was not a fake, but a real great artifact, the Demon Refining Bottle.
Qin Chuchu felt his change and asked differently: "What's wrong with you?"
"It's okay. Maybe I've caught a cold these past few days and my legs are a little cramped."
Ye Bufan said, taking a deep breath to suppress his excitement. Of course, he shouldn't show it too obviously at this time, otherwise it would attract other people's attention to the demon refining bottle and increase the bidding cost.
At this time, the auctioneer took the demon refining bottle and introduced it to everyone in the audience: "Everyone, this is the auction item brought out by the Qin family.
I'm sorry to say that there is not much information about this lot, and I don't even know its name, but the more mysterious it is, the more likely it is to surprise you. The starting price is 100,000 yuan, and each increase in price is no less than 10,000 yuan.
Start bidding now!”
As an experienced auctioneer, she naturally knew that the first item to be auctioned was usually not a valuable item, especially an item whose attributes and name could not even be explained clearly.
So she didn't waste too much time and directly announced the start of the auction.
As soon as he finished speaking, before anyone else could react, Luo Wentao stood up, bowed his hands to everyone in the audience and said, "Everyone, I'm sorry to tell you.
Master Xuanji took a fancy to this lot and entrusted me to lead him to bid for it. Now I bid 1 million."
In his opinion, no one dared to bid for the items that Master Xuanji was interested in. The reason why he gave such a high price was entirely to give Qin Chuchu face. After all, this was an item brought by the Qin family.
"What exactly is this bottle? I don't see anything special about it. How could it be noticed by Master Xuanji?"
"Originally I wanted to take a photo to see what it was, but since Master Xuanji took a fancy to it, I had no choice but to give up."
Everyone knew the name of Master Xuanji, so after Luo Wentao announced that he would bid for the bottle on behalf of Master Xuanji, although there was a lot of discussion in the audience, no one raised a placard.
Qin Chuchu had a look of astonishment on his face. This small bottle had been kept in their Qin family for who knows how many years. It had not been taken seriously by others before, but now it was taken aback by Master Xuanji at the auction.
Originally, she wanted to take a picture and give it to Ye Bufan, but now it was difficult, so she could only whisper: "Xiaofan, let's not give up this bottle, okay?"
Ye Bufan shook his head: "No, I have to take a photo of it."
Facing such a great artifact, even if the opponent is the Heavenly King, I can't do it, let alone a Xuanji Master who is full of doubts.
Qin Chuchu wanted to say something else, but Luo Wentao said to the auctioneer on the stage: "Okay, now you can put the hammer down!"
"One million once, one million twice..."
The auctioneer shouted twice in a programmed manner, then raised the hammer in his hand and was about to drop it. Suddenly someone shouted: "I'll pay 2 million."
Everyone was quite surprised, especially Luo Wentao. He had already explained that Master Xuanji wanted this thing, but there was still someone who dared to raise a sign to bid.
Turning around, I saw that the person holding the sign was Ye Bufan who was sitting next to him.
He said angrily: "Ye, what are you going to do? Didn't you hear me say that this is something Master Xuanji likes?"
Ye Bufan shook his head: "I don't know what Master Xuanji is. I only know that this is an auction, and the one with the highest price will get it."
Qin Chuchu didn't expect him to be so persistent, so he quickly advised: "Xiaofan, we don't want this bottle anymore. No matter what else you like, I will take a picture of it for you."
Ye Bufan said: "I just like this bottle."
What he told was the truth, but to Luo Wentao's ears, it sounded like he was challenging himself.
"Okay, since you like it, then go ahead and take the photo."
At this moment, Ye Bufan is even more of a dead person in his eyes. After so many years of contact, he knows very well the temper of Master Xuanji. Whoever takes this bottle will definitely die.
After saying that, he didn't hold up his sign anymore and sat back directly.
Seeing this scene, everyone else was stunned, and then started to make noise again.
"Who is this person? He dares to snatch things from Master Xuanji. Isn't this because he is living impatiently?"
"It's true that newborn calves are not afraid of tigers. This kid is so ignorant that he doesn't take Master Xuanji seriously..."
"It's over, it's over. Master Xuanji is such a master. He can make this guy fly into ashes with just a snap of his fingers..."
Qin Chuchu was even more anxious, but there was nothing he could do.
Master Xuanji cannot be offended under any circumstances. It seems that he can only wait and persuade Ye Bufan to send the bottle to the master.
The auctioneer stood on the stage with a confused look on his face, not knowing what to do next.
Ye Bufan smiled slightly at her: "Miss, since no one is bidding with me, isn't it time for the hammer to fall?"
The auctioneer gritted his teeth and finally shouted: "This gentleman bids 2 million, 2 million once, 2 million twice..."
Everyone knew that this bottle was in trouble, and naturally no one else would participate in the bidding. She called three times in succession and then knocked the auction gavel in her hand.
From this moment on, the demon refining bottle belongs to Ye Bufan.
Soon, the waiter came over with a tray. Ye Bufan took the bottle into his hand with excitement, then took out his bank card and swiped 2 million on the POS machine handed over by the waiter.
Although Qin Chuchu brought the bottle, the auction money still had to be handed over to the venue first, and the venue took 10% commission before returning it to the Qin family.
Luo Wentao snorted coldly and thought to himself, "Let's see how long you can be proud of me after you rob Master Xuanji's things."
Ye Bufan was not in the mood to pay attention to him at all. He took the demon refining bottle in his hand as if he was holding a rare treasure. To him, it was more precious than a rare treasure.
Qin Chuchu sighed. It seemed that he couldn't return it for the time being. He could only wait until later.
At this time, the auction continued, and soon the second lot began to be auctioned. This was a vase from the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, which was eventually auctioned off by a wealthy businessman for 1.5 million.
Ye Bufan had no interest in these antiques. The subsequent auction went very smoothly, and soon the transfer contract for the Xanadu Community was reached.
The auctioneer raised the contract in his hand and said: "This is a well-known paradise community. It is surrounded by mountains and rivers and has beautiful scenery. The initial investment alone has exceeded 1.5 billion.
In this contract auction, whoever wins the auction will have 100% ownership of the Xanadu community. The starting price is 100 million Huaxia coins, and each increase in price will be no less than 10 million.
Dear friends, this is definitely a great opportunity to make huge profits, don’t miss it, start bidding now!”
