The Rebirth of an Immortal Cultivator
Chapter 83: Broken Sword
The woman who was the host of the auction, Ye Xiao Yi ordered the servant who stood a few meters behind her to pick up the first item to be auctioned.
The female servant wearing hanfu nodded her head, she walked over to Ye Xiao Yi with a tray on top of which was a jade bracelet, on the surface of the jade bracelet itself was a small crack until it could not be seen by the eyes.
But unlike Mo Lian, he was aware of the cracks on the surface of the bracelet.
"The first item is a relic from a Wu-Dan who died because he could not break through the Wu-Sheng level. This jade bracelet was found in the deepening of the forest that was at the border, according to the Assessment Elder. This jade bracelet can withstand a missile attack for one time, or if we pair it with a Fighter, it can withstand an attack from Wu-Sheng." Ye Xiao Yi explained the bracelet that was on the table.
Ye Xiao Yi was silent for a moment looking at the entire visitor, then continued his words, "The initial price of 10 million Yuan, for each price increase should not be less than 500,000 Yuan."
Immediately everyone raised the prepared number board into the air and started bidding the price. Although it could only withstand Wu-Sheng's attack for one time, it was still an extremely precious and rare treasure. Everyone here felt no loss even if they spent hundreds of millions, after all money was not everything when compared to life.
"10 million Yuan!" The participant in seat number 30 raised his number board into the air.
"12 million Yuan!"
"15 million Yuan!"
The offer continues until shortly after the offer finally stops when the price has reached 25 million Yuan. Soon Ye Xiao Yi announced the winner of the first auction item after he knocked the hammer three times and made sure no one else bid the price. "Congratulations to the participants in seat 10 for winning the Jade Bracelet for 25 million Yuan!"
Ye Xiao Yi ordered the waiter to change the auction item, and now on the table was another bracelet made of jade-gear that was the size of a marble and made into a bracelet.
"The second item to be auctioned is the 10 Attack Bracelet. Named as such because it had a jade seed totaling 10 grains, this jade bracelet could increase its power of use by up to 10 times that of a normal attack. This bracelet was sold by the Wu-Sheng level Warrior in hiding."
Wu-Sheng's? Everyone was silent with their mouths wide open. Everyone who was here had never seen a Wu-Sheng, and now at the auction this time there was an item auctioned by a Wu-Sheng. Quickly everyone lifted the number board into the air and started bidding on the price even when the price itself had not been determined.
"20 million Yuan!"
"35 million Yuan!"
"50 million Yuan!"
The bidding continued, and ended when the price had already reached 100 million Yuan. Immediately Ye Xiao Yi tapped his hammer three times, then announced the winner. "Congratulations to the participant in seat five for winning the 10 Attack Bracelet at the price of 100 million Yuan!"
The auction resumed. Ye Xiao Yi again ordered some people to take the auction items that were on the table, and replace them with new ones.
Tens of minutes passed quickly. It did not feel like there were already five items being auctioned, and until now also Mo Lian and Ong Hei Yun had not bid at all.
Everyone looked at Mo Lian with a strange and condescending look, they assumed that Mo Lian was just a poor person for not daring to bid. And to be able to enter this room, it was only because it came with Ong Hei Yun. Eventually most of them concluded that Mo Lian was merely a hired person Ong Hei Yun in order not to be bothered by the men present.
Ong Hei Yun turned his head to look at Mo Lian. "You already have seven billion dollars, why don't you bid on the goods?"
"Nobody caught my attention." Mo Lian answered him without looking. So far nothing has caught his attention at all, a 10 Attack Bracelet that could increase attacks? That's just bullshit! Mo Lian who had experience and knowledge of course knew what the bracelet was, the bracelet was a failed product that had a lot of flaws in pattern writing.
This Mo Lian's words were in with the person who was sitting on his left seat, and the person who was behind him. When they heard Mo Lian's words, they clenched their hands tightly and were eager to beat up Mo Lian.
But just as the person sitting next to Mo Lian was about to stand up, suddenly from the auction center came the voice of the host that caught everyone's attention.
"It doesn't feel like the auction has entered its final session, the session where the last two items will be at auction. Please everyone know, these two items have higher prices than the previous items ..."
Ye Xiao Yi paused for a moment, then continued his words, "Without lingering any longer. Bring the sixth item in!"
From behind the curtain looks another young woman who is both wearing hanfu. The woman was carrying a table made of aluminum and could be pushed, on the table was a brown wooden box that was almost a meter long.
Mo Lian, he also displayed his interest in the wooden box. He faintly felt spiritual energy even though it was only a little and not too strong.
Deftly, Ye Xiao Yi opened the wooden box that was on the table. It was seen that a sword was black with no other color, on the surface of the sword it had carved patterns unknown to the people here. However it was different from Mo Lian who understood the meaning of the pattern.
The upgrade!
The power of that sword could continue to increase if it was fed with fresh blood. But Mo Lian had other ways to improve it.
Instantly everyone who was previously enthusiastic turned into uninspired. That was because the sword shown in the glass kite was incomplete, or the sword was broken.
"This sword is over 500 hundred years old, we found it at the bottom of Lake Shichahai. Although this sword is broken and rusted, we can guarantee its strength and sharpness. We've already tested it by cutting some tree trunks." Ye Xiao Yi explained the advantages of the sword that was on the table.
When he heard that explanation, everyone's interest in the sword even decreased. If the function is only to cut down trees, then what is the difference with a saw or ax. People here don't want to waste their money on a useless piece of iron.
Ye Xiao Yi looked around in panic, then he nodded his head when he saw the direction of someone standing in the back row. With the microphone close to his lips, he opened his mouth and said, "This sword we previously appreciated for 300 million Yuan. But just for tonight, we will give a special price to all of you for just three million Yuan. For the price increase should not be less than 300,000 Yuan!"
Suddenly many participants raised their number boards. Although they feel it is useless, but what is the harm in buying goods that have low prices.
"Four million Yuan!" The participant sitting in seat 1274 lifted his number board into the air.
"Seven million Yuan!"
"12 million Yuan!"
The bid price continued to rise, and stopped when it had reached 18 million Yuan. Ye Xiao Yi quickly knocked on his hammer on the table, but as the hammer was about to knock for the third time, a loud voice suddenly rang out from the front row.
"25 million Yuan!"
Everyone turned their attention to the source of the voice, seen the young man who had been silent without bidding the price of raising his numberboard. That young man was Mo Lian.
"30 million Yuan!" The participant in seat 13 raised his number board.
"35 million Yuan!"
"40 million Yuan!"
"50 million Yuan!" Mo Lian again bid the price. When he bid a price that high, the middle-aged man sitting on seat number 13 exasperated and no longer bid.
Ye Xiao Yi turned his head around, it was felt that no one was bidding for the price anymore. He tapped his hammer three times, then announced the winner, "Congratulations to the young man sitting in seat 26 for winning the Broken Sword for 50 million Yuan!"
Mo Lian gave a small nod, he continued to observe the course of the auction until the last item which was a technique for a Warrior who wanted to break through to the Wu-Dan level. Soon he and Ong Hei Yun returned to the top floor after he finished paying and took his sword.
Then for the last item, it sold for five billion Yuan and was won by the old man sitting on the number one seat.
