Chapter 166 Auction (Part )
The auction arrived as scheduled. There will be corresponding capital verification for the auction. Only those with at least 10 gold coins can enter and participate, but they can only sit on the first floor. People in the first five rows need to buy seat tickets to choose. The closer to the front, the more expensive it is. The most expensive seat in the middle was sold for 1000 gold coins.
The boxes on the second floor have the best view, but they are not sold to the public and can only be enjoyed by invitation from the organizer.
The third-floor private rooms are sold according to their seats, with the lowest price being 1500 gold coins and the highest being 3000 gold coins.
Of course, the specifications this time are not very high, and Ian hopes that more people can participate this time.
For this reason, the Situ family, as the organizer, also took out some good things to participate. After all, there were only two pills, and they didn't want to let others go home disappointed.
Ian and his four companions didn't want to attract attention, so they randomly chose a few seats in the middle of the first floor and sat down.
It can be said that there were no empty seats at this auction. When the time came, the auctioneer, wearing a white gown, walked steadily onto the auction stage.
He looked around the entire venue, then smiled and nodded to everyone. His eyes revealed a kind of confidence and professionalism, as if telling everyone that today's auction will definitely be a great success.
The auctioneer coughed lightly, then cleared his throat and began his opening remarks.
His voice was deep and magnetic, as if it could penetrate everyone's heart. He first thanked everyone for coming, and then briefly introduced the process and rules of today's auction. His introduction was concise and clear, giving people a clear understanding of today's auction.
Then, an assistant came out from the back and carefully placed a square box of items carried out with both hands on the display stand.
The auctioneer pulled off the red cloth covering it, revealing a dark brown brocade wood and satin nan box.
"Dear guests, as the saying goes, one fate and two lucks, but fate is determined by heaven, and luck is created by man. If a person's luck is long-lasting, then his life will be smoother, there will be no bottleneck in cultivation, and life encounters will continue. Strong luck can change destiny to a certain extent.
We, the Situ family, have been entrusted to auction this item. Dear distinguished guests, please take a look—"
The brocade wood and satin nan box was slowly opened, and a fist-sized crystal bead inside emitted a soft halo.
At this moment, Ian noticed that Pei'er, who was sitting next to him, tensed up and said in surprise: "It must be the East China Sea Spirit Pearl. How could the East China Sea Spirit Pearl appear here?"
The fat man asked in a low voice, "Pei'er, do you know this bead?"
"Yes, this is a very precious treasure of our Lan family in the East China Sea branch. It is impossible to put it up for auction. Something must have happened to them."
Ian said, "Don't worry, let's film it first."
Pearl nodded, her eyes fixed on the stage.
The auctioneer said:
“This item is called the East China Sea Spirit Pearl. It originally belonged to the East China Sea Lan family. Later, due to various reasons, it was transferred here. The rules of the auction house only cover the inspection and sale of goods, and do not care about other hatreds, so everyone should be careful to distinguish.
With this spiritual bead, you will be surrounded by the power of luck all the time. The starting price is 1000 million gold coins, and each increase in price must not be less than 100 million. Start bidding! "
No one made a bid, but the whole place was in a discussion. The people on the first floor were even more excited. "This auction is extraordinary. The first item was such a hit, and the finale is even more incredible."
In fact, this is also the consistent style of the auction house. The first item is used as a test to see the bidding strength on site, to mobilize the enthusiasm for the auction, and to pave the way for the finale item.
No one on the first floor made a bid because 1000 million gold coins was too high. People on the third floor started bidding, but the increase was not too big. It took more than ten minutes for the price to reach 2000 million.
At this time, someone in VIP Room 19 on the second floor made a bid, "2500 million!"
The auctioneer's frown suddenly relaxed, and he thought: The big boss on the second floor has finally made a move, I don't believe you won't be tempted by this thing.
"Okay, VIP No. 1 on the second floor is 2500 million. Is there anyone who wants to raise the price?"
"3000 million!"
"3500 million..."
When the people on the second floor started to take action, the people on the third floor shut up. They were only adding one million at a time, while the people on the second floor directly added five million. How could they be their match?
When the price soared to 7000 million, it began to slow down again. The auctioneer was still trying hard to hype it up because their estimate was around 9000 million.
But in fact, this thing is not very valuable to others. Which of the real big families has low luck? Taking a picture of it is just icing on the cake.
Ian raised his hand, "1 million!"
Everyone looked at Ian, and the auctioneer raised his voice a degree, saying: "One hundred million, the VIP on the first floor 822 bid one hundred million, should anyone raise the price?"
"One hundred million for the first time..."
"One hundred million for the second time..."
"One hundred million for the third time. Deal! The East Sea Spirit Pearl belongs to VIP 822 on the first floor."
According to regulations, the goods purchased on site had to be settled on the spot, and finally the East China Sea Spirit Pearl was put away by Pei'er.
Seeing that Pei'er looked worried, Ian said, "Don't think too much. We'll make plans after we find the owner."
Pearl nodded, her little hand being pinched by Selina.
The auction continued, with many people entrusting items to be auctioned. Until the fifteenth item, a sixth-level barrier-breaking pill of perfect quality was brought up.
The auctioneer was bragging about the effect of the Barrier Breaking Pill. In fact, everyone knew it without him saying it, but after his exaggeration, the fifth-level strongmen present couldn't wait.
The lower-grade Barrier Breaking Pill can increase the chance of reaching the sixth level from the pseudo sixth level by 20%;
The medium quality can improve by 40%, the high quality can improve by 60%, and it is rumored that the perfect quality can directly break through to the sixth level without any obstacles!
In other words, with this pill, a fifth-level warrior will sooner or later break through to the sixth level, and his lifespan will increase by 50 years.
The life span of a fifth-level warrior is about 150 years, and that of a sixth-level warrior is 200 years!
As the auctioneer said, "Auction begins!", who among those present would not be vying for it?
The Barrier Breaking Pill is the top-level pill among the sixth-level pills. In fact, its effect is far greater than other sixth-level pills. It is only rated as a sixth-level pill because it is only effective for breaking through the sixth level and is useless for people at the seventh level.
There are too few alchemists in the Shen'en Continent, and even fewer top-level alchemists. A pill that is used well can give you a chance to turn the tide, or even make a big leap forward.
In just five minutes, the price rose from the starting price of 1000 million to million and there was no sign of stopping.
The people on the first floor have no financial support and can only sigh and some even curse, followed by the people on the third floor.
