"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 *** is here with a few big guys. While chatting, I saw Li Xiu walking into the auction house and 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 travel so far 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 is likely to be some special treasure.
The so-called magic treasure auction is actually an auction of some magic treasures that have been obtained from the Demon Kingdom but have been of no use and have been 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 of the city treasury are generally not things whose value can be judged such as magic cores and gems.
Most of them are materials or things whose purpose is unclear, and there are even some trophies that have not been checked.
Of course, these trophies are not impossible to inspect, but 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 very cleverly made, but they cannot be completely restored when 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, 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 miscellaneous. There may be boxes of magic cores, demon spirit 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 were an ancient gold box from the Demon Kingdom that was found in the Demon Kingdom's big city, it would be possible to get boxes of high-grade magic cores with unimaginable value.
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, it may be possible to make a profit. point, 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 purchases and become rich overnight.
There will be a few of these ancient gold chests from the Demon Kingdom 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. Could there be 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 or experience? Can you share it with me so that I can take some pictures that I can use?"
Sun Wuxi said: "I can't speak of experience. I often attend magic treasure auctions, but unfortunately I don't have enough experience. Eight or nine times out of ten, I lose money."
"Do you need knowledge 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 things that can be put up for auction
Things 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, you will not lose money if you buy them back. Otherwise, you will often lose money. "Sun Wuxi smiled and continued: "As for those ancient gold boxes from the Demon Kingdom, the knowledge is even greater. For example, this time, the Ancient Gold Box from the Demon Kingdom is said to be two boxes from a demon country named Tiantong. The big city. That day, Tongcheng was said to be the place where Princess Tiantong of the Demon Kingdom was granted a title. It was really amazing. Maybe there would be something big in it.
"Princess Tiantong?" Li Xiu's research on the history of the Demon Kingdom was limited and he had 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. Come over and sit down on the other side of Li Xiu.
Li Xiu saw that the person walking over was a Han lady, and he couldn't help being a little surprised. Han lady had been reluctant to see him recently, but this time he took the initiative to come over and sit next to him.
Han *** showed a charming smile to Li Xiu: "Princess Tiantong is the most beloved princess of the Emperor of the Demon Kingdom. Because of this, Princess Tiantong has developed a domineering character since she was a child. She is rampant in Tiancheng. Ji did whatever she wanted and did many things that were outraged by both humans and gods. According to some unofficial records of the Demon Kingdom, Princess Tiantong was also nicknamed the Skin-picking Girl. Whenever someone was slightly disobedient to her and did not follow her will, she would think We must do our best to capture that man, use secret techniques to peel off his skin, peel him off without dying, and then sprinkle sea salt on the naked flesh and blood until he dies of pain.”
"If Princess Tiantong peels off ordinary people's skin, that's all. For the sake of the Emperor of Heaven, I would just turn a blind eye to her. But Princess Tiantong is so evil that she even doesn't let go of those ministers who have made meritorious deeds." 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 was unable to protect her. However, under such circumstances, Still no one could convict Princess Tiantong, but the Emperor of Heaven 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 *** 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 Demon Kingdom, and its population was not large. Even if the entire city was killed by Princess Tiantong, it would have nothing to do with the Demon Kingdom. Influence." After Han *** finished speaking, he looked at Li Xiu and said with a half-smile: "Princess Tiantong is like a demon king in Tiantong City. I don't know how many rare treasures she has obtained. The ancient demon kingdom auctioned this time Among the gold boxes, two are from Tiantong City. Maybe there are important treasures hidden in them. Isn’t it that Director Li came here for those two ancient gold boxes 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 Country. 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 photo of an ancient gold chest. 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 *** smiled brightly: "But if Director Li wants to get the Demon Kingdom's ancient gold box in Tiantong City, I'm afraid he has to bring more money. Over there Several elders and elders from various families came to the city for the ancient gold box from the Demon Kingdom, and the final transaction price might 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 *** said and stood up to leave.
After Han *** left,
Sun Wuxi smiled and said: "If President Li is interested in those two ancient gold boxes from the Demon Country 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 the 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: "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 the president hadn't been too cheating, Li Xiu wouldn't have been willing to be so cruel, and there was nothing he could do.
Sun Wuxi, who was completely unaware, had a heated chat with Li Xiu.
Not long after, there were almost seven to eight people 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 were six chiefs of the seven groups of Changsheng, including Li Xiu.
Mo Wuya, Lao Immortal, Sun Wuxi, Bo Duosi and Wan Chaoxin all came. Bo Duosi 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 let strangers get close to each other.
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 has been the chief for a short time, he has 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 recently and prepare to return to the ranks of everyone, the expenses have been too great.
"That's 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 directly opened the lid of the wooden box, 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 material 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 It's my duty
I have to say it again, for half an hour, you can watch as much as you like, 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 the Magic Treasure Auction to be so rough. They didn't even introduce how many books there were. 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 is really a bit metaphysical.
Li Xiu also took a look and saw 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 probably tell from the name.
Wan Chaoxin looked at it for a while, shook his head and said, "They are all miscellaneous books. I guess there should be no books like Condensing Light Techniques among them."
People who were interested in the books about the Demon 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 opened it and said: "A box of magic books from the City of Kindness, the base price is 600,000 longevity coins, and each increase in price is at least 10,000. Those who are interested can 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 writing, 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 gave a slight gesture of thanks to the old man, 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?" times...700,000 times..." The auctioneer did not introduce too much, nor did he deliberately exaggerate the atmosphere. He just presided over the auction in a very ordinary way.
"800,000... Vice President Han offered 800,000..." When the auctioneer was about to call out the deal, Han *** 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 *** 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 can be sold for 1.1 million immortality coins, which is already a sky-high price, but *** Han actually added another 100,000.
Li Xiu glanced at the smiling Han *** and chose to give up.
Originally, he thought that Mr. Han 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 *** will bid for it. This kind of targeting could not be more obvious.
Li Xiu felt strange in his heart. He had not offended Mr. Han and the Han family recently, so why was she targeting him so much.
Moreover, the Korean *** is preparing to slay the god-level demon spirits. He needs a lot of funds to ask the help of the spirit-casting level boss. With the Korean ***'s nature
Ge, even if he has offended the Han family now, it is impossible to argue with him at this time.
"What on earth does Han *** want to do?" Li Xiu glanced at Han *** doubtfully.
Han *** was still smiling, as if he didn't know that he had offended Li Xiu, and he smiled at Li Xiu to signal.
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.
