Chapter 223: Auction

Chapter 223 Auction

After the bell rang, the standard seats were completely occupied. The ordinary warriors whispered to each other. The Auction Fair was like a noisy market.

After paying 1,000 taels of silver as the entrance fee, one could sit on the standard seats regardless of the status. The whole auction house could accommodate more than ten thousand people for bidding at the same time. The sponsor would make a fortune even if nothing was sold in the Auction Fair.

Suddenly, the entire hall became quiet.

With his hair carefully combed, an old man in a splendid robe walked out of the back hall. Many people’s eyes slightly flickered when seeing this person.

Eunuch Feng was Dongfang Xiao’s subordinate.

He actually hosted the Auction Fair. It could be seen that the royal family valued this Auction Fair very much.

Eunuch Feng served Dongfang Xiao year after year. He naturally wouldn’t get nervous because of the Auction Fair. He stepped on the high platform and said while making the fist and palm salute towards all directions, “As the butler of the Dongfang Family, I’ll host today’s Auction Fair. I hope warriors from the martial arts circle will not make trouble at the Auction Fair; otherwise, it will be regarded as a challenge to the Dongfang Family!”

Hearing the words, warriors from the martial arts circle with evil intentions were all slightly shocked. They didn’t expect the royal family of Dahan Country could be so powerful!

Someone understood the hidden meaning of Eunuch Feng. After the Auction Fair, the Dongfang Family wouldn’t care about the warriors so long as they didn’t make trouble for the family. The warriors could do whatever they liked then.

“Interesting…”

In the inconspicuous VIP room on the second floor, a coquettish young man touched his blood-red lips with his fingertips. He looked at the light black wall of the building diagonally opposite him. His blood-red eyes slightly flickered.

Tao Zisang seemed to notice it. He frowned and looked downstairs, but he couldn’t see the scene inside clearly because of the glass wall. There were many seniors secretly visiting the Auction Fair. Tao Zisang would be a fool if he rashly used the psychic awareness.

“Find out which force is in that VIP room!”

Tao Zisang ordered. Immediately, someone quietly exited from the VIP room. The eight elders around him also became taut. Although their cultivation was far higher than Tao Zisang’s, they were led by him.

There was one reason. Tao Zisang gave up his position and had spied in Dahan Country for years for the sake of the Lianshi Cult. They trusted such a person.

“Cough…”

As Eunuch Feng lightly coughed, the noise in the hall faded away. Many warriors earnestly looked at the high platform in the hall again.

“The Auction Fair officially begins!”

After Eunuch Feng finished the words, a manservant immediately walked to Eunuch Feng with a tray covered with red cloth in his hands. Eunuch Feng quickly uncovered the red cloth with one hand. A long sword sending out faint chill appeared.

“The first one is the last precious sword forged by Master Shi a hundred years ago, the Hanfeng Sword! The starting price is 100,000 taels of silver, and one should add no less than 1,000 taels when bidding every time!”

All people in the hall clamored when seeing the sword.

“What? It should be the last work of Master Shi!”

“The collection value of this sword is so high. It must be worth one million taels of silver even if it may not have the practical value!”

“How superficial you are! Weapons forged by Master Shi were all treasures. It can be known at first glance that this Hanfeng Sword must be forged with ten-thousand-year cold iron. It is not inferior in any respect compared with the psychic sword. It is worth more than one million taels, isn’t it?”

“Half a million taels!”

“One million taels!”

“Five million taels!!”

“Ten million taels!!”

The price raised quickly. Such a treasure was presented at the beginning of the Auction Fair. It motivated all ordinary warriors as excepted. The atmosphere of the Auction Fair was directly at the peak without a warm-up.

After a while, the VIP room on the second floor also began to bid. However, the third floor was quiet without any movement. The work of a dead forging master could not attract their attention.

Of course, if Master Shi had been alive, the price of this work would certainly have been higher.

Snapped!

“Thirty million taels of silver, for the third time! Congratulate the guest of No. 22. The Hanfeng Sword is yours. Please wait for a moment. The administrator of the Auction Fair will privately complete the transaction with you later.”

Tantai Yu completely changed his appearance and exhaled lightly in room 22. Qi Xianqing couldn’t help wondering, “Why do you want this sword?”

There were numerous skillful craftsmen in Tianji Country. Although such a sword was not too bad, it was only worth the bottom price of 100,000 taels of silver in Tianji Country.

What Tantai Yu just did was undoubtedly a waste of money in Qi Xianqing’s eyes. Tantai Yu should not spend it like that even though he was rich.

But Tantai Yu smiled and said, “I didn’t prepare a gift for the Junior Sister Apprentice when I visited her last time. I have been thinking about the gift presented to her at the first meeting these days. It occurred to me that Junior Sister Apprentice still doesn’t have a befitting weapon when I saw this sword. Tianji Country is far from here. I cannot return to Tianji Country to save money, can I?”

“You…”

Although Qi Xianqing scolded Tantai Yu, he felt relieved. He believed that Tantai Yu could protect Su Li after he left and help her take charge of the Ghost Valley alone as the Owner of the Ghost Valley.

Su Li was in the third floor. She didn’t know that Qi Xianqing was in the VIP room with Tantai Yu downstairs. She meditatively closed her eyes at the moment and patiently waited for the final moment like other forces.

The Yunjing Auction House had engaged in auction activities for years, so they were very experienced. The order of the auction items was elaborately arranged. As the first auction item, the Hanfeng Sword was sold at a high price of thirty million taels of silver. After the atmosphere was heated, the subsequent auction items also had good prices even though they were common.

…

The process of the auction was quick. Half of more than one hundred auction items were sold within half a day.

“The fifty-fifth auction item is one jar of the raw wine of the Liehuo Spirits. The starting price is five million taels of silver!” The manservant held a small pot of wine and placed it in front of Eunuch Feng. The audience were both surprised and bewildered.

“What kind of liquor is the Liehuo Spirits?”

“How can any wine sell for five million taels of silver? The Yunjing Auction House must be tricked.”

“I have heard about something about the Linli Building. It is operated by Mr. Li. If so, the Liehuo Spirits must be unusual!”

The crowd whispered. After people heard the words, their disdain and doubts immediately turned to surprise.

“Is Mr. Li comparable to the miracle-working doctor Qi Xianqing?”

“The wine should be made by him!”

The crowd had a heated discussion. When Qi Xianqing heard it, he couldn’t help wondering, “Who is Mr. Li? I have lived for more than two hundred years but have never heard of such a person.”

Eunuch Feng smiled and asked the crow to calm down, “Be quiet. The Yunjing Auction House has always been equally honest with aged people and child customers in the business. The raw wine of the Liehuo Spirits can sell for five million taels of silver. There is definitely a reason for it. The appraiser of our auction house finds that the Liehuo Spirits is a kind of wine which can rarely been seen in the world and can expel the ice toxin.”

Then Eunuch Feng paused and continued, “However, the Liehuo Spirits is not free from drawbacks. The raw wine is too strong, and it is unsuitable for ordinary people to drink. Only the warriors who have reached the inborn realm can withstand it. Otherwise, the drinkers will die easily.”

When Eunuch Feng finished the words, the warriors in the hall were all shocked.

Ice toxin! That was one of strange poisons in the world!

A small pot of wine should have the same effect of the miracle-working medicine!
