Chapter 61: The Final Auction
"A single drop of diluted Red Dragon's Blood, starting bid at 50,000 silver coins!" the auctioneer shouted excitedly.
"55!"
"58,000!"
"Sixty thousand!"
The shouting voices of this dragon's blood are obviously still in the minority.
"Seven hundred thousand!" Lin Yi, who was in the corner, also shouted out a price, directly adding one hundred thousand silver coins. The people beside him couldn't help but turn their heads to look at him, this strange masked man, who seemed to have never made an offer before, and others thought he was just here to watch the excitement, but unexpectedly, his first bid was so generous.
"Seven fifty-five!"
……
The price is still rising.
"900,000!" It was that golden masked man again, shouting out a new high price as if he didn't care about the money at all.
Lin Yi naturally had his eyes on this drop of dragon blood, no matter the price he would buy it. He thought that having this drop of dragon blood with him was absolutely a lifesaver, even if he encountered another freak like Chen Changsheng who had reached the peak of cultivation, taking a drop of dragon blood would give him the power to protect himself.
Something that can save his life, Lin Yi naturally spared no expense, even though he didn't have a single silver coin on him now.
Fatso stared blankly, walked over and patted Lin Yi's shoulder, "Big brother, you're bidding so enthusiastically, how much silver coins did you bring? The auction house requires cash payment, they never allow credit!"
Lin Yi raised an eyebrow and said lightly: "Me? I don't have a single silver coin!"
"My goodness!" The fat man was so scared that he stared blankly, as if he had done something wrong, and secretly glanced around. "I really don't want to live anymore, a poor guy like me dares to bid here, what if I get the item but can't pay for it? Do you believe that the Zhou family will beat me to death?"
Lin Yi seemed to have completely ignored it, and with a "heh heh" smile, she called out another price, "One million!" With an expression of being as fearless as a dead pig in boiling water.
"This gentleman has bid 100,000 silver coins, is there a higher offer?" The auctioneer clapped his hands.
"Ten... ten million!" The fat man almost fainted, shaking his head repeatedly. "What a reckless guy, no money but still daring to shout prices. If someone bids higher, he can still pretend to be cool, but if it's really sold, just wait for disaster! Ah... I've seen many poor people pretending to be rich, but never seen anyone pretending to be rich without regard for their life!"
"One hundred and ten thousand!" Another rich man in the corner calmly shouted.
"One million two hundred thousand!" Lin Yi continued without hesitation.
"One million three hundred thousand!" In the end, only Lin Yi and this rich man were left bidding against each other, while others could only stare blankly. Of course, the truly powerful families didn't care about this drop of dragon blood; although its power was strong, it could only be used once.
"One and a half million!" Lin Yi finally called out the final price, his tone still calm, as if he had just shouted out a number rather than a huge sum of money.
Finally, the voice in the corner did not appear again, apparently, this dragon blood was finally snapped by Lin Yi.
"One hundred and fifty thousand silver coins, it seems this gentleman has won the bid!" The auctioneer smiled slightly, and the hammer had already fallen.
Fat boy's whole body shook violently, staring at Lin Yi with wide eyes, and exclaimed in horror: "Big brother, we're done for! Take advantage of them not finding us yet, let's hurry up and run away, how far we can run depends on our luck!"
Lin Yi smiled slightly, yawned, and sat down steadily, leaning lazily against the wall, as if nothing could affect him. "Don't worry, we'll have money soon!"
"What? Are you saying that money will fall from the sky or something?" The fat guy was so angry that he couldn't help but laugh, shaking his head and ignoring this pretentious guy.
"The real finale of today's auction is about to be revealed, everyone please remain calm!" The auctioneer suppressed his excitement, it had been many years since such a fiery auction scene had last appeared!
With the help of his assistant, the auctioneer took out a large box from the stage, and inside the box was a white paper with a majestic dragon-like "sword" character on it.
The crowd held its breath, and the entire noisy auction hall of over a hundred people fell silent, as quiet as cicadas in winter.
Lin Yi raised his head, took a glance, and almost didn't recognize his own thing. The four sides of that white paper were actually inlaid with a circle of gold edges. Even if one didn't know the goods, looking at this "decoration", it was definitely a treasure.
Lin Yi smiled wryly, indeed, it was the auction house that had experience, this was what a treasure looked like, not just a torn piece of paper!
The people closest to the auction stage stood up one after another, staring at the treasure with unblinking eyes. "Why? I don't see anything special about it. Isn't this just an ordinary character?"
"Exactly, I don't see anything special either, is it just deceiving people?" The several portly merchants in front naturally didn't understand what swordsmanship was, so in their eyes, this was just an ordinary character.
"Ladies and gentlemen, please do not rush, do not be disorderly. Starting from the first floor, you can approach one by one to view this treasure carefully, and then proceed with bidding!" The auctioneer shouted, obviously this was the arrangement of the Zhou family, only those who have truly seen this treasure will understand its value.
Soon, from the front row of the first floor, a long line has formed, with people moving forward one by one to observe that white paper with black characters, as if they would like to dig out their eyeballs and stick them onto the paper.
Unfortunately, ordinary people can't see anything, and low-level warriors can only see a flash of sword shadow, which flashes by and then becomes endless darkness, like a meteor in the vast night sky.
There are billions of stars in the night sky, but they can only see one.
"It's finally my turn!" The fat man next to him rubbed his fists and was already excited, unable to sit still. "This is a treasure, and it looks like it's not just any ordinary treasure. It's worth seeing once in a lifetime!"
Lin Yi was still leaning back lazily, seemingly uninterested in anything, and seemed to have dozed off.
"Big brother, aren't you going to take a look at the treasure? It's our turn now!" The fatty reminded him, thinking that Lin Yi was definitely too excited and had frozen up.
Lin Yi shook his head slightly, "I'm not going, you go!"
Fatso was taken aback, he really couldn't see through this masked weirdo, earlier when he saw that drop of dragon blood he was excited to death, how come regarding today's finale auction item, it seemed like he regarded it as dirt!
What a weirdo! Fatso couldn't care less, rushed up to the auction stage, and carefully examined the treasure with his butt up. His empty eyes suddenly flashed with a sharp light, startling him to retreat two steps, "What a terrifying sword shadow..."
Fatty was obviously a martial artist, and in an instant, he saw the sword shadow, scared to the point of almost peeing his pants. And it was just a small sword shadow, as for the true sword path in this treasure, he couldn't possibly see it!
"Ah, I wonder what kind of terrifying swordsmanship the strong one who wrote this treasure must have! If only I could make him my master!" The fatty's mouth was watering as he was kicked off the stage by someone impatient behind him.
Even the three patriarchs of the big families, seeing this treasure, were directly stunned on the spot, and after two seconds, they retreated two steps with a loss of color. What they saw was naturally more than others, seeing four or five sword shadows, as well as a mysterious sword aura!
It's this sword aura that makes them feel as if they're facing heaven and earth, a terrifying feeling of being able to split mountains and seas!
Who is this person, with swordsmanship so strong?
The legendary Great Emperor!
Finally, Chen Shuangshuang couldn't bear her curiosity, and a white shadow floated down. As soon as she stepped onto the auction stage, others consciously left.
"Miss Frost, yes!" The auctioneer smiled and said, seeing Chen Frost's figure, he also had a moment of distraction.
Chen Shuang nodded and took a step forward. She had seen a treasure in the Tianxuan Sect's grand hall before, so treasures weren't unusual to her. However, was this treasure really that powerful?
Her gaze focused on the ordinary white paper, everything disappeared, leaving only a black "sword" character that quickly enlarged and expanded into her mind.
