But just when even the auctioneer thought Xu Qian's bid was the final price, a sign was raised.
The auctioneer was a little moved by the raising of the placard this time, not because of how expensive these slaves were. This Star Source Stone was nothing at all in the eyes of the auctioneer who was used to seeing big winds and waves. It's not that it's too strange that someone bids 10 yuan. In the auction business, it's common for the final bid to be much higher than the normal price.
What moved the auctioneer was that the bidder turned out to be this old man. No, to be precise, it was the bodyguard beside the old man.
Many people have noticed this situation. In fact, no one knew the identity of this old man, but the leaders of the auction trading center and the organizer had appeared before, and they were obviously following the old man's lead. Everyone thought that such a person would just not take action, and once he did, he would become a blockbuster. These 33 slaves are not very rare and precious. It can even be said that if you have money, you can buy them. And who can come into this venue? Who doesn't have more than ten or twenty slaves in their home?
Well, maybe people have this demand now, which is understandable. Maybe they came here to buy the finale treasure, and they just remembered that it was time to add some slaves to the family, so they bought it by the way, but this is just a hint. What's going on with the brand? Shouldn't such a big shot shout out a price directly, so high that no one can pick up the price? It's hard to tell if it's a very valuable treasure. After all, it often costs a lot of money, but this is just a matter of a few Star Source Stones!
Xu Qian doesn't care so much, he will win even if a big shot takes action. If he can't get it done by spending money, he will have to rob it in the end, so he has to work hard while he can spend money.
Xu Qian did not call out the price this time, but just raised the sign in his hand, which meant that he raised the price to 11 Star Source Stones. This was already the market price. In the eyes of others, buying at this price There is no advantage in buying this batch of slaves. Whoever pays this price is either unfamiliar with the market, or has another purpose. Another possibility is grudge.
"Actually, I never asked you, why do you have to save those people in Dongshan? Are there anyone you know there?" Lin Qiaoni learned that Xu Qian wanted to save people. At first, she thought it was the need of the game and didn't think much about it. Later she realized that this was just Xu Qian's personal choice, and it could even be said that doing this was not cost-effective in terms of scoring points in the game.
"Because their ending should not be like this."
Lin Qiaoni rarely saw such a serious expression on Xu Qian's face, and seemed to understand.
There was a sound of surprise, "Mr. Xu, he still continued to hold up his placards. This is so strange." Vivian had been paying attention to the auction. When everyone thought that the hammer in the auctioneer's hand was about to fall, the old man The bodyguard actually raised the small sign high again.
12 Star Source Stones! Already beyond the normal price.
No one present could understand that this kind of thing happened from time to time during auctions, but it had never happened to the auction of Chinese slaves.
It would be understandable if there were relatives and friends of the bidders among these slaves, but these people were all from China. That was another time and space. How could people from the Tang Dynasty be related to people from China?
Xu Qian was also very confused and angry as to what the old guy wanted to do. He could obviously win it with 9 Star Source Stones, but now that he has it like this, one Star Source Stone is worth 1.45 million yuan to him. Although he is rich now, he still loves money in his heart. Why? What if such an old guy suddenly appeared and tried to steal people from him?
The two of them fought back and forth until they reached 17 Star Source Stones, before the hammer in the auctioneer's hand finally fell. There was a very strange atmosphere in the whole place. Who would have thought that the climax of today's auction would appear here.
The old man looked back at Xu Qian and shook his head, not unconvinced, but helpless.
But at that glance, other bidders had a different interpretation. This old man is obviously not an ordinary person. Who would be willing to have a grudge against such a person over dozens of slaves? People would not think that the old man gave up because he could not afford the price, but that Xu Qian really angered the old man for some reason. The old man's glance was proof.
The deposit for the auction has already been paid when applying for the invitation letter, so Xu Qian does not need to hand over the Star Source Stone immediately. He only needs to wait until the entire auction is over and then go through the formalities with the auction center. Of course, if If you want to leave early, you can go through the formalities immediately.
Although he had to pay twice as much Star Source Stone because he was forced by the old man, he still won in the end. After achieving his goal in such a relaxed and peaceful way, Xu Qian was in a happy mood. He was not in a hurry to leave. He simply stayed and had a look. The auction was also a place to gain knowledge, especially the last few items. If you're interested, even if you can't afford it, it's a good idea to take a look. If there's really something worth taking, then find a way to get it. That's how the game is meant to be played.
Nearly half an hour later, the auction was approaching the end, and the competing items had reached the third to last one.
A picture scroll was hung on a wooden frame with wheels, and was pushed out from the backcourt by two beauties dressed in period costumes. The scroll is about two meters long, and the content is an ink landscape.
The auctioneer confidently introduced: "This painting is called "Unknown Immortal Mountain", and it is said to have been painted by an immortal." As soon as he said this, the whole audience was shocked.
Even in the Tang Empire, immortals were just a legend. When selling things in the auction house, the only things that can reach sky-high prices are treasures from the world of immortality. There have never been any immortal things. There is still debate as to whether the fairy world exists or not. A painting of a fairy suddenly appears. Isn’t this nonsense?
The auctioneer was used to seeing this kind of scene, and he didn't care about the uproar. "Although this painting was made by an immortal, nothing special has been found so far. In other words, it is just an ordinary landscape painting."
This time, there was only silence.
Just an ordinary landscape painting? Didn't it come from the hands of an immortal?
The auctioneer said nothing. He wanted to let the bullets fly for a while.
Sure enough, many bidders in the field were whispering to each other. There was indeed an introduction to this scroll on the previous list of bids, but everyone who saw it felt that it was just a gimmick at the auction center. Even from the words of this famous auctioneer, Even if he said it, no one would believe it.
"How can a painting of an immortal be an ordinary thing? I think this is an ordinary painting and has nothing to do with immortals at all."
"Immortals are just legends. Many ordinary people can't tell the difference between immortals and immortal cultivators. At most, this is a painting by an immortal cultivator. In the eyes of many people, it is also a painting by an immortal."
"It's impossible for the Los Angeles Auction Trading Center to lie to people. If it's just an ordinary painting, how could it be placed so far back? This is almost the last competing item, the finale."
"But it seems to make sense. Immortals' paintings don't necessarily necessarily contain some kind of magical weapon. Immortals can just draw them casually, but they don't necessarily have any mysteries."
"Yes, if it is really made by an immortal and is extraordinary, it will definitely be the last competing item at the bottom of the box. It might even cause a sensation in the entire Tang Dynasty, and even be recorded in the auction history of the Tang Dynasty."
After a discussion among the participants, the auctioneer slowly said: "It is not our auction house that has the final say that it was written by an immortal, but it was approved by Master Jinghong. Please take a look... …”
The auctioneer displays a certificate of authentication. He pointed his finger at one place, and an illusory figure appeared in front of everyone.
"I am Jinghong. This "Unknown Landscape" scroll contains real immortal energy, which is far beyond what ordinary immortals like us can compare with. Despite the age, the immortal energy has never dissipated. I am certain that this scroll must be from Immortal Hands.”
In such a short period of time, the illusory figure disappeared immediately, and the entire auction hall immediately became a sensation.
Jinghong, the Immortal Wind Dao Gu Gu, is a relatively active immortal cultivator in the Tang Dynasty. He often appears in some media and is relatively familiar to the public. In Chinese terms, it means that it has a good mass base and is an immortal star with its own traffic.
