"Isn't that Li Xiu? Why did he come to the magic treasure auction? The Trialist Competition is still in progress. As the person in charge, why did he come back to Changshengtian?" Han Minghui was chatting with several big bosses.
Seeing Li Xiu walking into the auction house, he couldn't help but frown secretly.
Li Xianchun, who was standing by, thought: "Li Xiu took time out of his busy schedule to come back, isn't he just to participate in this magic treasure auction? Is he also here for the two ancient gold chests from the Demon Kingdom?"
Hearing what he said, several people couldn't help but think. There are magic treasure auctions from time to time. There is no need to go all the way back to participate in the auction. If Li Xiu really came here specifically to participate in the magic treasure auction, it means that this time
In the magic treasure auction, there may be some special treasures.
The so-called magic treasure auction is actually the auction of some magic treasures that were obtained from the Demon Kingdom but have been of no use and are accumulated in the city treasury.
Every once in a while, the city treasury will clean up some things and sell them, and the proceeds from the auction will be returned to the city treasury.
The things cleared out from the city treasury are generally not magic cores or gems that can be used to judge their value.
Most of them are materials or things whose purpose is unclear, and there are even some trophies that have not been checked.
Of course, it is not that these trophies cannot be inspected, but they are deliberately done to attract wealthy people to participate in the auction.
In the vaults of many ancient cities in the Demon Kingdom, there is a special kind of Demon Kingdom Ancient Gold Box. Those Demon Kingdom Ancient Gold Boxes are so skillfully made that they cannot be completely restored once opened.
Therefore, before the ancient gold chests of the Demon Kingdom are opened, no one knows what is in those ancient gold chests. They can only judge what is inside from the origin of the ancient gold chests of the Demon Kingdom.
The person who presided over the magic treasure auction auctioned these ancient gold chests from the Demon Kingdom as a blind box auction, and the highest bidder got it. As for what you can get from the Ancient Gold Chest from the Demon Kingdom, it depends on luck.
Generally speaking, the things stored in the ancient gold chests of the Demon Kingdom are relatively mixed. There may be boxes of magic cores, demon materials, and even various things made by the people of the Demon Kingdom. There are also books, calligraphy and paintings, etc., which no one can
Determine what is inside an unopened Demon Kingdom ancient gold chest.
Whether you make money or lose money depends not only on luck, but also on your understanding of the Demon Kingdom.
If it is an ancient gold box from the Demon Kingdom that is found in the Demon Kingdom's big city, it is possible to get boxes of high-grade magic cores, the value of which is unimaginably high.
Of course, the chance of this is very small, and the starting price of an ancient gold box from the Demon Kingdom obtained from a big city vault is very high.
There is a special department in the Eternal City to study the ancient gold chests of the Demon Kingdom. The pricing of each ancient gold chest of the Demon Kingdom has gone through several rounds of evaluation. Generally speaking, as long as the price is not too high, you may be able to make some money.
, the possibility of making big profits is relatively low.
Of course, experts can't be 100% accurate in their estimates. Occasionally, some people can make big deals and become rich overnight.
There will be several of these ancient gold chests from the Demon Country in every auction, which makes the auction a lot more fun.
People are all a bit gambling.
After Li Xiu arrived at the magic treasure auction, he found a place to sit down and didn't say a word from beginning to end.
"The Trialist Competition is in full swing. Director Li came to participate in the magic treasure auction despite his busy schedule. Is there something he likes?" Sun Wuxi also came to the auction, said hello, and sat down
Next to Li Xiu.
"There are some things that I need to report to the president, so I came back. I happened to hear that there was such an auction, so I came to gain some knowledge." Li Xiu looked at Sun Wuxi and said, "Mr. Sun must be a veteran, right? No.
Do you know if you have any experience, can you share it with me, so that I can take some pictures that can be used."
Sun Wuxi said: "I can't speak of experience. I often come to magic treasure auctions, but unfortunately I don't have enough experience. Eight or nine times out of ten, I lose money."
"Do you need to be knowledgeable to participate in the auction? Is it possible that there are fakes in this auction? I heard that these auction items are all from the city treasury. Who is so bold and dares to put fake items in?" Li Xiu said with a surprised look on his face.
"The things are definitely not fake, but the things that can be put up for auction usually have some problems, or they are things whose purpose is not known at all. If you are knowledgeable enough and can know the purpose of those things and understand their value, it is natural to take them back.
Otherwise, it is common to lose money." Sun Wuxi smiled and continued: "As for those ancient gold chests from the Demon Kingdom, the knowledge is even greater. For example, this time's ancient gold chest from the Demon Kingdom, I heard that
They are two boxes from a big city called Tiantong in the Demonic Kingdom. It is said that Tongcheng was the place where Princess Tiantong of the Demonic Kingdom was granted a title that day, which is really amazing. Maybe there will be something big inside."
"Princess Tiantong?" Li Xiu's research on the history of the Demon Kingdom is limited and he has never heard of this princess's name.
Sun Wuxi was a little surprised: "Hasn't Mr. Li heard of Princess Tiantong's name?"
"I have little knowledge, I have never heard of it," Li Xiu said.
"Director Li can research this kind of light method, which shows that the level of magic writing is definitely not low. I thought you knew the name of Princess Tiantong." Sun Wuxi paused, and was about to continue, but saw someone leaving again.
He came over and sat down on the other side of Li Xiu.
Li Xiu saw that the person walking over was Han Minghui, and he couldn't help being a little surprised. Han Minghui had been reluctant to see him recently, but this time she took the initiative to come over and sit next to him.
Han Minghui showed a charming smile to Li Xiu: "Princess Tiantong is the most beloved princess of the Emperor of Demon Kingdom. Therefore, Princess Tiantong has developed an arrogant and domineering character since she was a child. She can be said to be unscrupulous and do whatever she wants in the Celestial City.
She has done many things that make people and gods angry. According to some unofficial records of the Demon Kingdom, Princess Tiantong is also nicknamed the skin-picking girl. Whenever someone is slightly disobedient to her and does not follow her will, she will try her best to get rid of her.
The man caught him, used a secret method to peel off his skin, peeled off the skin without dying, and then sprinkled sea salt on the naked flesh and blood until he died of pain."
"It would be fine if Princess Tiantong stripped ordinary people's skin. For the sake of the Emperor of Heaven, I would just turn a blind eye to her. However, Princess Tiantong is so evil that she even doesn't let go of those meritorious ministers.
However, several meritorious veterans who followed the Emperor of the Demon Kingdom and conquered the country were punished by her to be skinned and tortured to death. This also caused public outrage, and even the Emperor could not protect her anymore. However, under such circumstances,
Still no one could convict Princess Tiantong, but the Emperor had no choice but to exile Princess Tiantong to Tiantong City. It was said to be an exile, but that day Tongcheng was a big city specially built for her by the Emperor of Heaven. Princess Tiantong arrived in Tiantong.
After entering the city, they became even more arrogant, domineering and lawless, making Tiantong City almost like a purgatory on earth."
"Is this the end?" Li Xiu listened with great interest, but Han Minghui stopped abruptly at this point.
"So what if it's not finished? Tiantong City is equivalent to Princess Tiantong's fiefdom. She has absolute power there, and outsiders can't interfere. Even if some people can't stand it, think about it instead of letting Princess Tiantong harm a country.
, it would be better to let her harm that city. At least that day, Tongcheng was located on the edge of the Demonic Kingdom, and its population was not large. Even if the entire city was killed by Princess Tiantong, it would not do anything to the Demonic Kingdom.
Influence." After Han Minghui finished speaking, she looked at Li Xiu and said with a faint smile: "Princess Tiantong is a devil-like existence in Tiantong City. I don't know how many rare treasures she has obtained. The ancient gold box of the Demon Kingdom that was auctioned this time
Among them, two are from Tiantong City, and there may be valuable treasures hidden in them. Isn’t Director Li here just for those two ancient gold chests from the Demon Kingdom?”
"I have never heard of Princess Tiantong before, and this is the first time I even know about the ancient gold chest of the Demon Kingdom. How could I come here for them? But after hearing what Vice President Han said, I am now somewhat interested.
, if the price is not high, you can try your luck by taking a picture of an ancient gold box. If any treasure is really found, I will thank Vice President Han for reminding me." Li Xiu said calmly.
.
"Then I wish Director Li's wish will come true." Han Minghui smiled brightly: "But if Director Li wants to take over the ancient gold box from the Demon Kingdom in Tiantong City, I'm afraid he has to bring more money. There are several people over there.
The elders and the elders of each family came here for the ancient gold box from the Demon Kingdom that passed through the city that day, and I’m afraid the final transaction price will not be too low.”
"Thanks for reminding me, I'm just here to have fun. If it's too expensive, forget it." Li Xiu said casually.
"I hope Mr. Li has a good time. A friend I know over there is here. I'm going to say hello and excuse me." Han Minghui said and stood up to leave.
After Han Minghui left, Sun Wuxi said with a smile: "If President Li is interested in the two ancient gold boxes from the Demon Kingdom in Tiantong City, then Vice President Han will be very happy."
"The ancient gold box from the Demon Kingdom in Tiantong City belongs to Vice President Han?" Li Xiu immediately understood the meaning of Sun Wuxi's words.
Sun Wuxi nodded and said: "This Vice-President Han is not only beautiful, but also very high-spirited. She will not be willing to stay at the Spirit-casting level. I heard that she is being transferred in order to prepare for her promotion to the divine position.
With all available resources at hand, she invited several general leaders and everyone's spirit-casting experts to help her kill the divine demon. The demon has not been killed yet, and the price paid is already quite high. Even she can't bear it.
Otherwise, I wouldn’t have taken advantage of the magic treasure auction to sell the two ancient gold boxes from the Demon Country in Tiantong City.”
"Vice President Han is really motivated." Li Xiu said with a smile.
"Who says it's not the case? If she is lucky enough, maybe we will have to live by her face in the future." Sun Wuxi said with a smile.
While the two were talking, they saw Lao Wushu and Mo Wuya also entering the venue. The two came over to say hello, and without saying a few words, they went to the other side.
Li Xiu secretly cursed in his heart: "How afraid is this old man of being related to this matter?"
Thinking about it this way, if it were Li Xiu himself, he would definitely be far away, so Li Xiu could understand why the immortal was so afraid.
If Li Xiu really succeeded, at least half of the major families in Changshengtian would be offended by him.
If it weren't for the president being too deceitful and Li Xiu not being willing to be so cruel, there would be nothing he could do.
Sun Wuxi, who was completely unaware, had a heated chat with Li Xiu.
Not long after, there were almost seven or eight adults sitting in the venue, basically all bigwigs from major aristocratic families.
In addition to the four families, many of the other relatively well-established families came to participate in the auction in person.
There are six chiefs of the seven groups of Changsheng, including Li Xiu.
Mo Wuya, the old immortal, Sun Wuxi, Boduosi and Wan Chaoxin all came. Boduosi was sitting in the corner. Even though she had a hot figure, there was no one next to her. It seemed like she had something written on her body.
Don’t approach strangers with four words.
Wan Chaoxin came to Li Xiu, called "Fourth Master" and sat down.
"Fourth Master, are you also here for the ancient gold box from the Demon Kingdom in Tiantong City?" Wan Chaoxin inquired in a low voice.
If Li Xiu also came here for the ancient gold box in Tiantong City, then he could give up. With the relationship between Wan Chaochun and Li Xiu, he definitely couldn't snatch it from Li Xiu, even if he wanted to.
Although Li Xiu's time as chief was short, he made a lot of money. Now, apart from the four major families, Li Xiu is the richest.
Although the Wan Chao family has accumulated some money, in order to develop the family and prepare to return to the family, the expenses have been too great recently.
"It's a bit interesting." Li Xiu said with a smile.
After hearing this, Wan Chaoxin said to himself: "Come on, let's just treat it as shopping today."
While the two were talking, the auction had already begun, and uniformed staff brought up the first auction item.
Unlike ordinary auctions, the Magic Treasure Auction does not have an auction catalog, so no one knows what is being auctioned except for things like the Magic Kingdom’s Ancient Gold Box that are used for publicity.
The auction items are delivered directly to the auction site, and the auction starts after the buyers participating in the auction are optimistic about it.
I saw two staff members using a small cart to push a large wooden box up and place it on the middle field.
The auctioneer opened the lid of the wooden box directly, and everyone looked inside the box.
Many people were slightly disappointed when they saw clearly what was inside the box. The box was filled with books, but they were not ordinary books. All of those books were magic texts. Looking at the materials of those books, they were probably from the magic country.
The authentic copy, not a transcript.
The auctioneer also introduced: "This box of authentic books from the Demon Kingdom was obtained from the bookstore in the City of Kindness not long ago. All the books in the bookstore are here and have not been sorted out. Everyone should know the rules, but
I have to say it again. For half an hour, you can watch whatever you want, but you can't touch it, and you can't go on stage..."
After the auctioneer finished speaking, a few people approached the round platform and looked at the books in the box.
Li Xiu didn't expect that the Magic Treasure Auction would be so rough. They didn't even introduce any of the books in it. They just let people read by themselves, and they weren't allowed to go to the stage to see it or touch it. Then they could read it.
The ones that arrived are the books on top. No one knows what books are on the bottom. This auction really has a bit of a mystical meaning.
Li Xiu also took a look and found that he had also gone to the City of Kindness and had a battle with the Fountain of Evil there.
It's a pity that he went a little late and didn't find anything useful inside. It is estimated that this box of books was transported out before he went to the City of Kindness.
The books above seem to be children's books, there are also a few picture books similar to comics, and there is also a book that you can tell from the name is a novel.
Wan Chaoxin looked at it for a while, shook his head and said: "They are all miscellaneous books. I guess there are no books on the Condensing Light Technique or the like."
People who were interested in the books about the Demonic Kingdom looked at them carefully, but they could only see the top few, and no one knew whether the books below were valuable.
Half an hour passed quickly, and the auctioneer did not close the box, but left it open and said: "A box of magic books from the City of Kindness. The base price is 600,000 longevity coins. Each increase in price is at least 10,000. If you are interested,
It’s time to start bidding.”
After the auctioneer finished speaking, there was silence for a while with no one bidding.
The City of Kindness is not a big city, and this box of books is not from a library, but from a certain bookstore. Just looking at the books above, I didn't see any valuable books, so I felt a little bit indifferent for a while.
"Six hundred thousand." After a while, an old man raised the sign.
Li Xiu glanced at the old man and felt that he looked familiar. After thinking about it, he should be from the Magic Academy.
"Seven hundred thousand." Li Xiu held up the sign.
He has been studying magic, so it would be a good idea to buy some books and go back to read them. Moreover, he is also a little curious about the City of Kindness. Maybe he can learn something about the City of Kindness from these books.
The old man smiled at Li Xiu and put down the sign in his hand. Judging from his meaning, he had no intention of bidding with Li Xiu.
Li Xiu expressed his gratitude to the old man slightly, and the old man smiled kindly.
"Director Li bids 700,000, is there anyone else who bids? A box of magic books that were moved from the City of Kindness Bookstore, and now the bid is 700,000... Is there anyone else who bids... 700,000 at a time... 70
Twice..." The auctioneer did not introduce too much, nor did he deliberately exaggerate the atmosphere. He just presided over the auction in a very plain way.
"Eight hundred thousand... Vice President Han offered 800,000..." When the auctioneer was about to call out the deal, Han Minghui raised the bid to 800,000.
"Nine hundred thousand." Li Xiu didn't wait for the auctioneer to say anything else and directly added the price.
Han Minghui increased the price to one million, and then said to Li Xiu with a smile: "Director Li, I also want to learn magic writing recently, I'm sorry."
"The auction will naturally be for the highest bidder. Vice President Han's words are serious." Li Xiu said and added another hundred thousand.
A box of ordinary magic books could be sold for 1.1 million immortality coins, which was already a sky-high price, but Han Minghui actually added another 100,000.
Li Xiu glanced at the smiling Han Minghui and chose to give up.
Originally, he thought Han Minghui just wanted this box of books, but during the subsequent auction, Li Xiu discovered that things were not that simple.
As long as no one competes with Li Xiu for any auction item that Li Xiu participates in, Han Minghui will bid for it. This kind of targeting could not be more obvious.
Li Xiu felt strange in his heart. He had not offended Han Minghui and the Han family recently, so why was she targeting him so much.
Moreover, Han Minghui is preparing to kill the divine demon spirit and needs a lot of funds to ask a spirit-casting boss to help. With Han Minghui's character, even if he has offended the Han family now, it is impossible to fight with him at this time.
That's the right thing to consider.
"What exactly does Han Minghui want to do?" Li Xiu glanced at Han Minghui doubtfully.
Han Minghui was still smiling, as if she didn't know she had offended Li Xiu, and she smiled at Li Xiu to signal her.
Li Xiu didn't understand what she meant, so he pretended not to see it. After a while, the staff brought up another auction item.
When Li Xiu saw the auction item, he immediately felt a strong sense of hunger in his stomach.
The spasm in my cheek finally stopped. Two days ago I thought I was having signs of a stroke, which scared me to death.
