Return From The Immortal World
Chapter 514: Nine Pints of Phoenix Hair
The auction went very slowly, and many of the items auctioned were sought after by many people. As for Tang Xiu, he did not participate anymore and just sat quietly beside Li Laoshan while fiddling with Emperor Qin's Imperial Jade Seal. He really did not know why such an ordinary seal made of bronze had a space that contained a large amount of Fate and Destiny Power.
After all, he was not too worried about her because he could not figure it out yet. While fiddling with the seal, he also observed Su Yaning from time to time. Su Yaning might be someone she disliked, but she was still her cousin. If he could repent for his mistake like his sister, it would be a pleasant surprise for his mother.
After three and a half hours, it was now 5:30 p.m., and the auction was almost complete. As a result of Tang Xiu's involvement in their matters, Li Laoshan and Wang Daoyuan both gave up auctioning swords. After paying the penalty to the Situ family, the two precious swords were returned.
On the platform in the middle of the river, Ouyang Lulu seemed to be in a very good mood. The item auctioned now was a bluish-white porcelain vase that was burned at the Royal Kiln of the Ming Dynasty. While holding the microphone, he smilingly said, “Wow, time passes quickly. I didn't expect the action to reach the final so quickly. Next will be the last three items, which I believe are rare treasures and will bring incredible luck and wealth to anyone who can obtain them.
“The next auctioned item is an ornamental hairpin made from high quality special materials. Because of the carving on it, it was called the 'Nine Phoenix Hairpin'. This hairpin is very unusual, and describes it as very magical and mysterious rather than excessive. Let me explain it to everyone. First, it was made of extremely hard special materials, even the owner of the item entrusting it for auction here had once tried to cut it with a laser, but it did not scratch in the slightest.
“Secondly, the person wearing it can feel the magical effect. The wearer will be able to feel cool in summer and warm in winter. Do you believe that? This is nothing but an ornamental hairpin, but it can make the wearer feel cold in a searing summer, and feel very warm and comfortable in the middle of winter. ”
As Ouyang Lulu spoke there, she observed her eyes wide open and an expression of disbelief on the faces of the guests. Then, he loudly said, “Everything I say to you is true all. I have worn this Nine Phoenix Hairpin before, and it does make me feel very comfortable; the credibility and reputation of the Situ Family is beyond doubt.
“So, without further ado, I now announce that this item will be auctioned at a base price of 20 million, and no less than 1 million for each bid increase. ”
After saying that, he looked at the crowd below.
"20 million!"
"21 million!"
On board, Tang Xiu's body trembled slightly after hearing the Nine Phoenix Hairpin mentioned by Ouyang Lulu. When his vision fell on the hairpin, he suddenly got up. Although his actions attracted the attention of many people, they still focused on the auction.
"100 million!" Tang Xiu called out firmly.
Immediately, the two rich women who were also bidding changed their expressions, looking somewhat irritated.
Yang Lan was the big boss of the Blue Garden Group with assets amounting to almost 10 billion, and also had many businesses under his banner. It could be said that only his wealth had elevated him to a strong and prosperous second-class people in China. Most important of all is the fact that he is only in his 40s this year, and all his wealth is self-made.
After he saw the Nine Phoenix Hairpin, the dazzling golden ornamental hairpin and attracted his attention so he fell in love with her. Therefore, he decided to buy it even though he had to spend more on it. Who would have thought that someone would interfere with his plan, and the one who did so was also unexpectedly the famous young heavenly physician, Tang Xiu?
He knew that Tang Xiu was rich, otherwise, he would not have bought the first auction item for 2 billion yuan. Nevertheless, he did not wish to release the Nine Phoenix Hairpin, and would do his best to obtain it.
"200 million!" An indifferent voice came out from his mouth.
"500 million!" Tang Xiu raised a large one again, causing a commotion at the venue.
Yang Lan looked at Tang Xiu, as she stood up and said, "Divine Doctor Tang, I am curious about something here. You are a man, a man who was respected and respected at the time. Why do you want to compete with the Nine Phoenix Hairpin with me, a woman? "
"The nine Phoenix Hairpins were originally mine, to begin with. Then, I presented it to a junior of mine, and he lost it afterwards. So there should be no problem for me to spend some money to buy it back, right? "Said Tang Xiu.
"That was yours?" Yang Lan frowned. After a moment of silence, he gritted his teeth and said, “1 billion! If you can pay more than 1 billion, I will give up. ”
"1. 1 billion, ” Tang Xiu said with certainty.
Yang Lan could only smile bitterly as she shook her head and slowly sat back down.
At the end of the day, Tang Xiu finally obtained the Nine Phoenix Hairpin.
After he received the Nine Phoenix Hairpin in his hand, there was a complex look in his eyes that lasted quite a long time. This Nine Phoenix Hairpin was indeed made by his own hands, the gift he gave to his lover, Xue Qingcheng, and was a high-quality immortal device. However, there was one thing that astonished him. How did this thing appear on Earth?
However, he could vaguely guess that this matter should be attributed to Gu Yan'er. Until now, since he had already bought the Nine Phoenix Hairpin, he would ask Gu Yan'er about this after he woke up again.
"Sister Tang, is this Nine-Hair Phoenix Nine really yours?" Li Laoshan came while scratching his head and curiously asked.
"Yes nih . Not only is it mine, I also made it, ” Tang Xiu said with a nod. “Only, there is something that makes me wonder. But then again, I've bought it back now, so I'm sure I can figure it out later. ”
With a strange expression, Li Laoshan said, "It seems like there's a story there, hmm?"
“Indeed, indeed. But this is a personal matter, ” Tang Xiu said with a calm smile.
Afterwards, the second final auction item did not offend Tang Xiu's interest. Even though the price went up to hundreds of millions, he did not care.
On the auction stage, Ouyang Lulu had a complex look in her eyes. He could sense that there was something about Tang Xiu, a huge secret buried in his heart. The fact that she spent quite a lot of money to buy an ornamental hairpin today made her feel gloomy and tense inside. After all, it is impossible for an adult man to wear an ornamental hairpin, so this object must be related to another woman.
“The last auction item is the Dragon Searching Device. The person in charge of the auction did not allow me to explain further about this item. Therefore, I will immediately announce the base price. The base price is 100 million yuan, and any increase in the offer should not be less than 10 million. Let the offer begin! ”After Ouyang Lulu finished speaking, she picked up a compass-like object with a diameter of 20 to 30 centimeters.
"Huh? Dragon Searching Device? What the fuck? ”
“The final part of this event is this unknown object? What is the origin and effect? "
“What does Situ Family do? Is this object something more valuable than Emperor Qin's Imperial Jade Seal? ”
"It's ridiculous!"
"…"
Among the hundreds of wealthy people present, most of them were concerned about this. However, among the hundreds of small ships, there were 20 to 30 seniors standing tall after the Dragon Searching Device was announced. Although the boats swayed from side to side, the old figures were able to stand upright. Their eyes lit up hot as they stared at the Dragon Searching Device.
Little magic device?
Tang Xiu furrowed his brows, and felt that it was somewhat unintentional. It was because he barely saw the magic device after returning to Earth. Through his perception, he discovered that this instrument was made for the purpose of searching and exploring the dragon cave, and was clearly an extremely valuable treasure for those involved in Feng Shui.
"200 million!"
"300 million!"
"500 million!"
"1 Billion!"
"…"
The price increase was akin to a rocket that quickly soared into the sky. In just five minutes, the price of the Dragon Searching Device had soared to 2.4 billion, with each bid no less than 100 million.
Li Laoshan was stunned as he stared at the old men, whose expressions varied. He gently touched Tang Xiu and asked in a whisper, "What the hell is this situation, Brother Tang? Who are these people? I noticed earlier that many of them did not take part in the bidding, yet they were now acting as if they had a spicy sauce splattered on their faces. Unexpectedly they threw away that kind of money. . . it gave me goosebumps. What exactly is going on here? ”
“It's Dragon Searching Device. It is used to search for spiritual veins, places with spiritual or unpleasant powers, and can also be used to find and explore ancient tombs very easily. For those who dabble in Feng Shui, this object is an extremely valuable treasure. So precious that it is almost comparable to their own life and wealth. ”
"You mean, they're Feng Shui Masters?" Li Laoshan asked, surprised.
"I don't know about that," Tang Xiu said, shaking his head.
Li Laoshan gulped his saliva and no longer spoke. During their brief conversation, the price of the Dragon Seeking Device had gone up once again. And now it's 3 billion.
"Old Ghost Zhu, do you really want to have a fight with me?" An old man glared at another elderly who bid 3 billion and asked with a burning fury.
The old man called Old Ghost Zhu definitely replied, “I better go broke and lose everything for this Dragon Seeking Device. ”
“Excellent, amazing! Consider it your victory! ”The other party pointed at Old Ghost Zhu and finally sat down with an unwilling expression.
Old Ghost Zhu then looked at the other two elders who were still trying to compete with him and spoke in a heavy voice, “You can increase the bid as you see fit. But you can rest assured that I will do everything to obtain this Dragon Seeking Device. Whatever your offer is, I will accept it. We have known each other for many years, so you should know how important this Dragon Seeking Device is to me. ”
The two old men exchanged glances, as one of them then reluctantly said, “I bid 3. 1 Billion . If your offer is higher than my offer, I will give up. ”
"3. 2 billion! ”Say Zhu Old Ghost.
The two men were silent for a moment, before finally sitting down. Getting the Dragon Seeking Device was also as they had expected, but they knew that it was impossible to compete with Old Ghost Zhu in terms of financial resources. Moreover, they were also aware of the fact that the Dragon Seeking Device was a heirloom of the Zhu Family about 200 years ago.
Keep competing with him? They did indeed have the ability to do that, and they would definitely be able to hold Old Ghost Zhu in terms of financial resources. However, they were well aware that once they did that, a feud would be created and they would become sworn enemies with Zhu Old Ghost, as well as being glimpsed by everyone from the Zhu Family.
