Chapter 243 Seeds of the Ancient Era
The water in this Tang Shang Auction Store is really deep!
Xu Hao sighed.
After all the three Blood Lotus Recovery Pills were auctioned, many people took back their thoughts.
Many warriors showed regret on their faces and felt a little regretful. Why didn’t they take action earlier and persevere, which led to their missed-out loss with Xuelian Huiqi Pills?
The beautiful host Chi Ying smiled slightly, attracting the attention of the blockbuster, and soon said: "Next, we will auction the third auction item, the ancient mysterious stone box."
She deliberately lowered the sound, and the lights in the auction hall were dimming a little, and there was a special beam of light shining on the auction table.
It's really a mysterious atmosphere.
Many people looked closely and all of them aroused their inner expectations.
People are often curious about unknown things.
Swish!
The silk was lifted up, and what fell into people's eyes was an ancient stone box the size of a palm. Perhaps it was the erosion of time, and the stone box was dull and inconspicuous under the light.
Everyone looked at it quickly.
"No, a broken stone box can also be auctioned, it's a bluff!"
"That's right, look at which stone box is dull and there are not even special marks. Does anyone want to buy this kind of thing?"
"Wait and see, there may be some collectors interested in this kind of antiquity."
Everyone couldn't see the reason, and secretly thought that this auction item was probably for those stupid and rich people. They all looked at Chiying's graceful figure, wanting to hear how she fooled her.
Chiying seemed to have been prepared for this. She also knew that this auction item would be difficult to arouse the interest of those present, but she still reached out to hold the ancient stone box in her jade palm and said with a smile: "After the determination of the special appraiser of my Tang Shang Auction, the history of this stone box can be traced back to the ancient times. In other words, it is a rare rare ancient thing, and it is naturally not necessary to say more about its value. In addition, this stone box is sealed all over, and there is probably a treasure hidden in it, but its material is very special. We can try our best to open it. Today, we will see who is destined to take it into his pocket and explore the mystery."
"What? Things from ancient times? Really have such a long history?"
"Hehe, since you try every means to open it, it is an antique that is still a thing of the same kind as you, and it has no substantial effect. What kind of elegant people do you want to buy it, so I won't join in the fun."
"Since it can't be opened, why do you have to be sure there is a treasure in it?"
"Oh, since you don't buy it, don't be too rude. Maybe some people who like to collect will bid for it!"
"Look, I want to see how high this broken thing can be sold."
Listening to the discussions of the audience, Chiying also smiled bitterly in her heart. This ancient stone box has no substantial effect except for the longevity, but she still hopes to be sold at a good price.
Of course, it doesn’t matter if it can’t be sold. Anyway, the auction house doesn’t expect it to be sold. Even if it doesn’t sell now, there will be opportunities in the future.
"This stone box is actually an item from ancient times?"
In the compartment, Xu Hao's left eye had an extremely thin purple thought passing by, and his sharp eyes locked in the ancient stone box on the auction table.
"call......"
Xu Hao's forehead was sweating constantly, and he felt a sense of difficulty.
The stone box seemed ordinary, but it seemed to have a kind of magic power that could actually block Xu Hao's perspective.
Xu Hao was surprised, but he became more determined to find out.
Speeding up the movement of his left eye, Xu Hao endured the tearing in his mind.
finally.
Completely penetrate the stone box.
In the field of vision, there was a dimness and blur.
But Xu Hao still vaguely saw that there was only a small groove in the narrow space, which could hardly contain anything. It was obvious that it was impossible to hide treasures such as spiritual weapons and spirit stones.
However, there is something inside.
There is only one shriveled seed in the groove, and nothing else is there.
The seed has long been shriveled and has been twisted and deformed, so it is hard to believe that it will have any vitality.
In addition, from ancient times to today, after countless years, this seed must have died long ago.
Looking at the shriveled seed, Xu Hao was stunned for a moment.
Even if this seed is planted, it may not grow anything, right?
Xu Hao was a little disappointed.
But when he thought about this stone box inherited from ancient times, Xu Hao was a little unwilling to accept it.
After thinking about it over and over again, Xu Hao decided that if the price could be afforded, he would buy it. He didn't want to let the real opportunity pass by him because of his temporary negligence.
When Xu Hao thought of earning 7.5 million taels of silver from Yunlin for nothing, he felt much more confident.
"Now the auction starts, the starting price is 500,000 taels of silver, and the price is no less than 2,000 taels of silver each time."
Chiying looked around and said loudly.
Silence for a moment.
"Five hundred thousand taels!"
But not long after, an old man in gorgeous clothes and wrinkles paid the price, and his eyes showed a look of hope.
Some people recognized the identity of the old man. This person is a famous antique collector in Hanzhou City. He likes to collect some antique treasures on weekdays, appreciate their unique historicity, and spends money on it, spending a lot of money.
However, because he bought too many antiques, his family's wealth was much empty, which made the family members complain, but the old man was enjoying it.
In the compartment, Xu Hao did not rush to bid, but followed the skills previously informed by Tang Caide, and just watched silently, otherwise he would have to be beaten up.
The atmosphere was silent for another moment.
But immediately, someone added 500,200 taels of silver.
Obviously, although the person who quoted the offer was interested in this stone box, he was not willing to pay too much.
"Five hundred thousand taels of silver!"
The old man shouted.
At this time.
But few people asked for a quote. After all, there were few people who were interested in this stone box. It was already very good for the old man to buy it. They were afraid that they would scare the old man back.
Soon, no one offered another price.
I guess this useless stone box will become a new collection for the elderly in China.
Chi Ying also showed surprise on her pretty face, "Who can pay a higher price for 510,000 taels of silver? This is a treasure that has passed down from ancient times. It is really rare. If you miss it today, you may not be able to encounter it in the future!"
She finally revitalized the atmosphere and was about to announce the result.
At this time.
Xu Hao shouted out a price: "Five hundred thousand two thousand taels!"
However, he deliberately pressed his voice down and rough to avoid being recognized.
"Okay, it seems that someone has increased the price again. It seems that they are aware of the goods. Is there any higher one? You must not lose the opportunity and never come again!"
Chiying smiled in her heart, her expression was a little excited.
"Five hundred and twenty thousand taels!"
Not long after, another price increase sound came.
This time the price was not the old man in the Chinese clothing, but Yunlin in the second private room next door.
"Young master, why are you buying a broken box?" The beautiful female companion asked in confusion.
Yunlin shook his palm, closed the folding fan in his hand with a "pop", and said indifferently: "It's nothing, I just buy it back and play with it. It won't cost much anyway."
After listening to the beautiful female companion, she was full of colorful eyes and even sent a secret wave of autumn to the clouds.
Seeing the change in the attitude of the female companion, Yun Lin felt a sense of secret pleasure.
"There is 520,000 taels of silver, is there anything higher?" Chiying smiled happier. The 520,000 taels of silver was already very high. She didn't expect that the stone box could be sold at first, but now the price is rising steadily, which also means that the increase she can get is also more, so Chiying is naturally happy.
The old man in Chinese clothing increased the price again and said, "Five Thirty Thousand Thousand Taxis!"
"Five Thirty Thirty Thousand Two Thousand Taxis!"
Xu Hao also followed suit.
Yun Lin wanted to give up, but a smirk appeared on his lips and shouted, "Fifty-four thousand taels of silver."
If the other party wants it, he doesn't mind adding more.
Although doing this is a bit harmful to others and not self-interest, Yunlin has encountered many unlucky things recently, which is just a matter of using this to vent his anger.
"Oh, forget it, although this antique is old, its quality is too bad. It's a bit worth it if you add a price. I'd better use this money to buy other antiques!"
The old man in the Chinese clothing sighed, hesitated for a moment, and decided to give up and continue bidding.
In the compartment, Xu Hao was secretly happy when he saw the old man giving up.
"Fifty-fourth two thousand taels of silver!"
Xu Hao continued to add another price, but his tone became significantly weaker and seemed to have a little pain.
Tang Caide, who was standing aside, asked a little strangely, and said, "Xu Hao, do you think you have too much money? There is no need to spend this in vain to buy that broken thing? The stone box does originate from ancient times, but to be honest, it is unlikely that there are any treasures hidden inside. Otherwise, how could our Tang Chamber of Commerce take such good things to auction? And it can't be opened at all. We have tried many methods."
Xu Hao said casually: "Since you are here to participate in the auction, you naturally have to buy something."
"Then let it go." Tang Caide smiled bitterly and said helplessly.
"Five fifty thousand taels!"
Yun Lin smiled disdainfully and raised the price again, which made the female companion beside him cry out in awe, and his eyes were full of admiration.
He thought it was interesting to tease that person, which made him feel quite happy. Even the unhappiness he had recently reduced a lot.
Chiying became more and more excited. She didn't expect that the stone box that was not favored would rise to 150,000 taels of silver, and she didn't even want to stop.
Many people in the audience also felt a little strange, but they were relieved immediately.
There are many interesting things in the auction hall, and no one may have been there before. There were many unpopular things, but they were sold at a sky-high price, while some truly valuable things were ignored.
