Seeing this priceless treasure, the people in the audience's eyes immediately widened. This was the first time they had seen such a bright night pearl. Even if they didn't know the origin of this night pearl, they knew it was worth a lot.
"This luminous pearl was Cixi's most beloved treasure during her lifetime. After her death, it was buried as a funerary object. It is said that this pearl can generate cold and heatstroke, and prevent the body from decaying. It is a rare treasure and is worth a fortune. The bidding price starts at 100 million.
Twenty million U.S. dollars, with each increase of ten million U.S. dollars." As he spoke, the auctioneer raised his hand and immediately dropped the hammer.
The audience was in an uproar when they heard this. Such a high price is extremely rare. However, after listening to the auctioneer's description of the origin and function of this bead, everyone knew that this orb was a rare treasure. Therefore, although the starting price was high,
It's not unacceptable to them.
Lin Fan had heard about this pearl. It was said that Sun Dianying broke into the Dongling Tomb and stole it. It has been missing since then. Unexpectedly, it appeared at the auction.
"Uncle Ye, you are not interested in this orb?" Seeing Ye Lingtian still sitting upright and indifferent, Lin Fan asked curiously.
"Although the things are good things, they are not of much use to me. Let others fight for them!" Ye Lingtian said with his eyes closed.
Well, after hearing what Ye Lingtian said, Lin Fan simply shut up. It seemed that Ye Lingtian came to the auction just for the Imperial Cauldron.
The wealthy people began to bid one after another, and the auction suddenly seemed to have turned into a vegetable market. Lin Fan couldn't help but shake his head as he watched these people competing with each other with red eyes.
As the price gets higher and higher, the atmosphere becomes more and more tense.
When the price was called $600 million, many people started to stop talking.
Just when everyone thought the sword would be sold for 800 million U.S. dollars, someone actually sold it for 700 million U.S. dollars.
Suddenly the scene became audible, and everyone looked at the person who made the bid. Everyone couldn't help being surprised when they saw that the person making the bid turned out to be a young and handsome man.
The most surprising person was Xia Meng. She had known Zheng Yuming for four years and knew him very well. She didn't expect that the other party could actually spend so much money. It was like getting to know him all over again.
What on earth has he done in the past three years? Xia Meng couldn't help but think to himself.
Zheng Yuming didn't show any timidity at all when everyone looked at him, but nodded politely to everyone.
"Is there anyone here who wants to increase the price? If not, this orb belongs to this gentleman." The auctioneer looked at the audience and said with a smile.
Although many people here want to get this priceless orb, the price is so high that they begin to hesitate.
"First time for $700 million!"
"Seven billion dollars for the second time!"
"Seven billion dollars for the third time!"
"become……"
"Wait a moment!"
Just when everyone thought that this thing must belong to Zheng Yuming, suddenly a clear voice came from the venue, "I offer 800 million US dollars!"
"What?" Everyone was in an uproar. The 700 million U.S. dollars was already eye-catching. Unexpectedly, someone shouted 800 million U.S. dollars. Everyone felt that their hearts were about to jump out. Even if they were very rich, they would not be able to pay attention.
It will be very painful if you get to this much.
Zheng Yuming's face turned dark and he looked for reputation. He saw that the person who had just called the price was actually a blond and blue-eyed foreign woman. He instantly felt like a cooked duck had flown away.
Lin Fan was also looking at this woman at this moment. The woman seemed to notice Lin Fan's gaze and actually turned her head and smiled meaningfully at him. This gave Lin Fan the illusion that the woman seemed to know him.
However, Lin Fan immediately shook his head and pushed this Fang Wei thought out of his mind.
Lei Manli was a little surprised. She didn't expect that Alice would also show up at the auction. She was a little confused about the purpose of her coming here. Was it just to take a picture of this luminous pearl?
"This lady has offered 800 million U.S. dollars. I wonder if there will be a higher price!"
The auctioneer looked down the stage and saw that no one was making any noise. After calling out the price three times, he made a final decision.
"Congratulations to this young lady for taking this night-light pearl!"
The next few collections were all of great value, but Ye Lingtian never made a bid, and finally the auction came to a close.
"The collection that will appear next is the one that everyone is most looking forward to. You must have heard the legend about it. I won't say more here. Let's go directly to the auction!"
As soon as he finished speaking, several security guards came back carrying a bronze object and placed it respectfully on the stairs.
Lin Fan took a look and saw that it was a green-grey nine-cauldron about 600 centimeters high. The body of the tripod was engraved with famous mountains and rivers. It was a strange thing, and it looked unattractive. It was difficult to associate it with the legends in history.
Lin Fan could not see that it had any collection value, but the reactions of others were completely different, and they all seemed extremely excited. Even Ye Lingtian, who had been in deep concentration with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes and stared at them with energy.
Looking at the Jiuding, his eyes were radiant and unblinking.
"Is this the legendary Emperor's Cauldron?!"
"It looks like it should be!"
"It is said that it was because Emperor Guangwu obtained it that he was able to defeat many with less. With God's help, more than 10,000 people defeated Wang Mang's 400,000-strong army, thus restoring the Han Dynasty!"
"I heard that even the warrior Tian was able to replace Tang Dynasty and establish Zhou Dynasty, it was because he accidentally obtained the Emperor's Cauldron. Unfortunately, it was said that it was stolen by Li Longji's men, and the Li family was restored."
"Is it as evil as you say?"
"This is absolutely true! It can't be wrong!"
There was a lot of discussion below, and the comments became more and more outrageous. In short, Lin Fan didn't really believe it.
"Duan Fei, is this Emperor's Cauldron really so magical? Are what they said true?" Seeing everyone looking at this thing on the stage with excited expressions, Xia Meng couldn't help but ask with a little interest.
.
"If this thing is really magical, wouldn't those emperors be on tenterhooks all day long?" Lin Fan said with a smile.
"That's right..." Xia Meng also felt that what Lin Fan said was very reasonable. If the country could be won so easily, then ancient times would have been in chaos, and they would have been in chaos all day long.
"Uncle Ye, this is the Imperial Cauldron you want. I don't see anything extraordinary about it, either?" Lin Fan looked at Ye Lingtian and asked.
"How is this possible? Duan, you have to see clearly?" Ye Lingtian frowned.
"Uncle Ye, I can guarantee you that I am absolutely right. He is just a very ordinary bronze vessel." Lin Fan said with great certainty.
