Return From The Immortal World
Chapter 98: Determined to Win
It was night …
Tang Xiu, with a pale face, followed by Miao Wentang and the other three came to the place of the Violet Redbud Auction. The auction was held at the Jiangmen Island International Business Conference Center.
On the 18th floor.
The auction place is huge. More than a thousand tables and chairs, and a third of them had been occupied, with more people rushing in from outside.
The four people casually found a seat and sat down as the attendant of the auction venue gave them a list of items that would be auctioned off and had been prepared beforehand.
Tang Xiu sat in his chair as he skimmed through the list of items that were being auctioned. The detailed list is 3 pages and presents each item with a picture and text description. The first 2 pages make it quite disappointed. Even though they were good things, he did not use them at all.
But, when Tang Xiu opened the last page and read the list, his gaze suddenly froze as disbelief filled his eyes.
The Void Crack Stone? Is that the Void Crack Stone?
If the photo taken was correct, then this was definitely the main ingredient to perfecting the Spatial Ring, the Void Cracking Stone.
At that moment, Tang Xiu's heart sped up and beat faster as an expression of determination could be seen on his face. At first, he had concerns because he was going to the Evil Dragon Sea Area. If they hunted a large number of ferocious beasts with large bodies of ferocious beasts, how would they transport them? But if he could repair the Spatial Ring, sending it back would not be a problem.
“Price as low as 5 million? With an increase of 500 thousand for each offer? ”
Tang Xiu thought for a moment. He thought that he had the funds now, so it wouldn't be a problem to compete and successfully bid for this fist-sized Void Crack Stone.
After betting with Ye Taifu at the Paradise Club, the money he won after deducting 250 million for Jia Ruidao's shares, he got 250 million. He used 20 million to buy the body parts of ferocious beasts, so the rest of the money he had now was 230 million.
“The floor price of Void Crack Stone is 5 million. I have 230 million, so it's fine to buy this stuff. If that's not enough, I can borrow money from Jia Ruidao! When I get more money, I can pay it back! “Tang Xiu quietly counted in his mind.
“Hah?”
Tang Xiu's heart was again startled when his eyes fell on the list below when he discovered another useful, 1000-year-old wild ginseng.
Had it existed in the Eternal World, let alone a 1000 year old wild ginseng, even a 10 thousand year old wild ginseng, he had never lacked this ginseng. He used to feed 1000-year-old wild ginseng to ferocious beasts. But for now, this thing is precious. If he could buy this 1000 year old wild ginseng, he would have the main ingredients to make Golden Bell Liquid, and its efficacy would be excellent.
“Buy! I have to buy it! ”
Tang Xiu looked at the basic price offered as his eyes suddenly filled with disbelief.
“50 million?”
The price of this 1000-year-old wild ginseng turned out to be 50 million. In addition, the amount of bid increase should not be below 2 million.
Tang Xiu's lips wriggled, “If, if I were to move all the 1000-year-old ginsengs in my herb fields in the Eternal World, I should be able to buy more than 10 Earth Planets, right? This price ... is really too horrible, scam! ”
His eyes looked down and also found some other items that would be useful to cultivators, but he did not have great use for them.
He finally decided and locked onto his target. They were the Void Crack Stone and 1000-year-old wild ginseng. He secretly calculated the final cost he would have to pay to obtain these two things.
“Bapak. Tang, what is that thing in your eyes? ”
After Shao Mingzhen read the auction item list in her hands, she turned around and looked at Tang Xiu by her side as she whispered to ask.
Tang Xiu pointed to the Void Crack Stone and the 1000-year-old wild ginseng as he said, “I need these two things. And I have to get both at all costs! ”
Shao Mingzhen looked at the Void Crack Stone in surprise. It was because he did not know what this stone was. The auction simply explained that the ore was rare and extremely hard, and surmised that it came from a meteorite from outer space. However, for that 1000-year-old wild ginseng, he could not help but lament as he also targeted it.
Today on Earth, 1000-year-old wild ginseng is extremely rare, to the point that it has no market price. Even if some people wanted to spend a lot of money, no one had heard of 100-year-old wild ginseng being sold for many years. Let alone 1000-year-old wild ginseng. What's more, 500-year-old wild ginseng is extremely rare and very little to see today.
“Ah, I should forget about it and just give up!”
Shao Mingzhen quietly sighed inside as she turned around and touched Miao Wentang, preparing to tell him about the 2 items Tang Xiu wanted to buy.
Miao Wentang also targeted 1000-year-old wild ginseng. But just like Shao Mingzhen, she finally intended to give up after learning that Tang Xiu wanted her.
As for Dao Master Ziyi, she had just come to that place, and was purely acting with ‘it was none of Aku’'s business. Even if there was something he liked, he would not try to bid. It was not because he had no desire to buy, but because he was poor to the point that he only had penny money and could not afford anything.
8:00 sharp …
Along with the opening of the auction stage, a beautiful young lady at the peak of her life walked onto the stage. The originally noisy auction venue suddenly became quiet as everyone's eyes were fixed on the beautiful young lady.
“Girls, we welcome you at the annual Violet Redbud Auction. This year's auction was held at Jingmen Island, and all items to be auctioned had been listed in the auction's detailed list. My name is Xiao Ai, and I am also the auctioneer of this year's Violet Redbud Auction. ”
“I hereby announce that the 21st Violet Redbud Auction has officially begun. The first auctioned items are valuable antiques, blue-and-white porcelain vases produced by the late Ming and early Qing Dynasty Royal Kilns. Everyone should not look down on this blue and white porcelain vase, the seal on it indicates that it is the seal of the Imperial Household, and is only used for the Emperor. It is quite possible that the vase was used in the Emperor Palace of the Great Qing Dynasty .. ”.
Tang Xiu sat quietly under the stage as he listened to the grand introduction of the auctioneer. When the auction was announced to officially begin, he saw hundreds of guests following the Redbud Violet Auction as they vied to bid on the items, giving him a strange feeling.
As the saying goes that, when the world is in chaos, opportunity arises, but when the world is in the golden age, accumulating wealth develops.
And now, he greatly appreciated the true meaning of this sentence. Each item was auctioned at a high price and each item would be bought at a high price. He can't hold his breath. Today, there are a lot of rich people, and they like to accumulate wealth and become richer. Of course, he also had another thought, that the rich are stupid. Buy pieces of inanimate objects and bring them home with meaningless significance.
The auction had lasted for 2 hours and Tang Xiu had never made an offer though. Instead, Shao Mingzhen and Miao Wentang had once made an offer and bought the items they needed.
“For the next item we are going to auction, it is a rare ore. This rare ore is very hard and we suspect that it came from outer space and was crushed to Earth as a meteorite. I believe that this will be a very valuable collection of minerals. Perhaps, the value of these space items would be more valuable in the future and would be very difficult to estimate. The base price is 5 million, and any increase in the offer should not be below 500 thousand. Let's start the auction now. ”The auction held the Void Crack Stone in her hand and explained in an excellent voice and expression as she announced the start of the auction.
“It has come!”
Tang Xiu's spirit trembled as his eyes locked tightly onto that Void Crack Stone. He was in no hurry to bid because during the last 2 hours of observation, he could tell that from the initial bidder, only a few of them really wanted to buy. They were like throwing bricks to pull out jade, and just starting an offer, and if some people asked for an offer, they would leave it immediately. If no one asks for a quote, they may be able to get the item for a little money, but still buy it as one of the things they love.
“6 million.”
A voice rang out, as the person also raised his flag mark.
“6.5 million!”
“7 million!”
“7.5 Million!”
“…”
Shortly after, the price of the Void Crack Stone had risen to 9.5 million. However, after the last person calls the bid, no one raises the offer after 10 seconds.
A sweet smile hung on the auctioneer's face as he said, “The man has made a bid of 9.5 million, have any other guests asked for a higher bid? Everyone, do not take this rare ore lightly with mystery. Perhaps the value will be 10 times higher in the future compared to the present. ”
“10 million!”
As the voice of the auctioneer fell, another voice sounded.
Tang Xiu took a deep breath as he raised his mark and said, “10.5 million.”
“15 million!”
The voice sounded again.
Tang Xiu lifted his sign and exclaimed, “20 million.”
“Suara whizzing..”
Everyone at the auction venue turned around and looked at Tang Xiu as streams of comments rang out.
“Who's throwing away money, more silly people, ah? Unknown ores with unknown uses? Even if it's rare, it's not worth 20 million, is it? Trust the auctioneer's cons to get rich quick in the future? ”
“What world-level joke is this? Buying a piece of ore for 20 million? Even 10 million is too much! The rich this year really don't appreciate money! ”
“What a wasteful youth. I don't know which junior he's missing from which family he's from. If I had such a junior, I would have completely broken his leg and kept him at home to reflect on his mistake in seclusion. ”
“That young man, could he have liked the auction girl? Want to show off his value in front of him? ”
“Wow, this is really interesting!”
“…”
With her sharp hearing, Tang Xiu clearly heard many people's comments in the conference hall. But he still wore an indifferent expression. For those who had no knowledge of truly valuable things, he did not even want to pay attention to it. And for that absolute reason, there was not even a chance that he would tell them about the use of the Void Crack Stone. Moreover, in his hands, the Void Crack Stone was a treasure, but to those people who would not refine the stone into a Spatial Ring, it was only a rough hunk of stone.
The auctioneer looked at Tang Xiu deeply as he smiled and asked, “Those handsome young man has made a bid of 20 million. Is there an offer higher than 20 million? Otherwise, this precious rare ore would have been sold to that handsome young man. ”
The auction place was silent for a while.
When the auctioneer was about to speak the last word and announce that the Void Crack Stone was sold to Tang Xiu, a voice suddenly sounded,
“50 million!”
