Chapter 1162: Crazily Bidding
After the red-dressed lady’s introduction, someone immediately made a bid.
The Lightning Ore was a rare ore, and the lady’s introduction was very clear. If it was equipped on a flying boat, it could greatly increase the speed of the flying boat, and there were also other magical effects. This was exactly what Ou Yangming needed at this moment.
The starting bid was 30,000 high-grade spirit coins, and it quickly rose to 58,000.
“60,000!”
Ou Yangming called out.
The red-clothed lady smiled sweetly. “Room 5 bids 60,000. Anyone else?”
“65,000,” someone below bid again.
The one who spoke was a young man. He cupped his hands in front of his chest and said, “Seniors, my grandfather is going to ask a master to help build a flying boat. I’m determined to get this Lightning Ore, so I hope that you can understand.”
“Ah, a child of the Qiu family.”
“Since you said so, Young Master Qiu, we won’t fight with you.”
The Qiu family was a big family in Beishan City. Their family was extraordinary. The grandfather of the Qiu family also had some connections with the sects behind Beishan City.
Given that relationship, everyone stopped talking. After all, an ore was nothing.
“Thank you, seniors,” Young Master Qiu said with a smile.
“Sir Ouyang, the Qiu family’s a big family in the city, but they’re nothing compared to you.” Big Boss Cou looked down through the curtains and revealed the identity of the young man who spoke.
Ou Yangming smiled. Afterward, his voice was heard again as he uttered, “70,000.”
The others showed face to Young Master Qiu, but Ou Yangming did not buy it at all. He was just a passerby here, after all. No matter what force the young master was from, it had nothing to do with him. Moreover, Ou Yangming did not believe that there was anyone more powerful than him in this place.
In the small Beishan City, the bald men were already considered top-notch powerhouses. It was unknown whether there was a Ruler of the laws here or not.
“75,000.”
The young man below took a look at Box 5. The curtain was made of special materials. The scene outside could be seen from the inside, but the inside of the box could not be seen clearly from the outside.
“Brother, could you show some face to the Qiu family?” Young Master Qiu asked with a smile.
“80,000,” the person in the box said again without responding to him.
Young Master Qiu’s face slightly changed. The other party actually ignored him. He frowned and said coldly, “90,000 high-grade spirit coins.”
It was clear that the young master of the Qiu family was determined to get this ore, but Ou Yangming had the same idea.
Ou Yangming bid again, “95,000 high-grade spirit coins.”
95,000 high-grade spirit coins had exceeded the original price of the Lightning Ore. It was precious, but that was only the foundation. What was truly precious was the person who could use it.
“100,000 high-grade spirit coins!”
The young master from the Qiu family looked at the sky with a fierce gaze.
There was a stalemate. 100,000 high-grade spirit coins were almost the bottom line of the young master from the Qiu family.
The red-clothed lady on the stage had a hint of excitement in her eyes. Her pretty face was slightly red, and she looked exceptionally enchanting. Her soul-stirring eyes swept over the young master of the Qiu family.
100,000 high-grade spirit coins!
To be able to offer such a price showed how wealthy the Qiu family was.
There was no reply from the person from the box for a long time. The young master of the Qiu family thought that he had won. There was a smile on the corner of his mouth. ‘Trying to compete with me? You’re still lacking.’
The people around also thought that the ownership of the Lightning Ore was a foregone conclusion. After all, 100,000 high-grade spirit coins were a huge amount. It was equivalent to 2 or 3 High Grade magic weapons. Other than a large family like the Qiu family, very few people would use them to buy an ore.
At this time, the red-clothed lady raised her head and glanced at the side of the box above. Just as she was about to count the seconds, another shout came from above.
“200,000!”
These words seemed to be the final, causing everyone’s head to buzz.
200,000 for an ore. The person in the box must be dumb.
Only then did everyone understand what it meant to be rich and generous. 200,000 high-grade spirit coins were almost the price of an ordinary flying boat. The people could not understand why anyone would use such a price to buy an ore that could increase the attributes of a flying boat.
Even if a master was 100% successful, there was no need to expend such a great price.
‘Crazy—they’re really crazy!’
Many people raised their heads to look, but the curtains outside the private room blocked the inside completely.
Young Master Qiu did not speak anymore. His face was ashen. The other party’s price had far exceeded his limit. Unless he requested from his clan, it would be impossible for him to obtain so many spirit coins.
The red-clothed lady smiled like a flower. When she saw that everyone was silent, she began to count the seconds.
Without any surprise, the Lightning Ore was bought by Ou Yangming for 200,000 high-grade spirit coins. It was a loss to others, but the young fellow did not care because he could easily obtain spirit coins.
Not long after, the staff sent the Lightning Ore over. Ou Yangming also paid 200,000 high-grade spirit coins at the same time. The money and goods were settled, and he became the owner of the magical ore.
Big Boss Chou laughed bitterly. He looked at Ou Yangming and said, “Sir, there was no need for you to bid 200,000. That fella from the Qiu family was already bluffing. As long as you bid another 10,000 or 20,000, he would’ve given up.”
Ou Yangming smiled and did not explain. It was fine as long as the item was in his hands. As for how much money it was bought for, it did not matter at all.
Big Boss Chou shook his head and looked at his brothers helplessly. ‘Is this what it’s like to be rich and capricious?’
The auction was still going on in an orderly manner.
Other than the small interlude between Ou Yangming and Young Master Qiu, the auction was overall calm and peaceful. There were also no high-priced items after that. Even the finale item, the Five-colored Dragon Bead, was bid at only 180,000 high-grade spirit coins.
It was worth noting that the finale item could not compare to ordinary items. Such a situation was rarely seen in the auction.
“Midd Moli, didn’t you say that there’d be a surprise in this auction? The auction’s over but where’s the surprise?”
Someone below asked.
Everyone still remembered the surprise that the enchanting woman had mentioned before. So far, no one had discovered it.
The enchanting woman grinned. Her watery eyes swept over everyone, then she said, “Everyone, please calm down. The surprise is about to come out. There’ll be one finale item for this auction. The last item is the surprise that I mentioned.”
“What is it?”
“Hurry up and take it out!”
…
The curiosity of the people below was piqued, and they all shouted.
At this time, the lady in red smiled and clapped her hands. Then, a few maids brought out a box that was more than a meter long.
Everyone was attracted to the box.
Even Big Boss Chou in the private room was the same. He and the other hunters knew that the thing in the box was a High Grade magic weapon that Ou Yangming had auctioned. It would be a pity to sell such a magic weapon.
The box was opened. The light was dim, and a silver-white sword was shining in the dim environment.
‘That’s…’
After seeing the sword on the stage, mental powers were released
At this moment, the world quieted down. One could even hear a needle fall on the ground.
After a brief while…
The quiet environment was broken by a gasp. The sound seemed to be demonic. Gasps soon filled the air because of the sword on the stage.
A Fine Grade magic weapon!
“How could there be a Fine Grade magic weapon? How could one appear in Beishan City?”
Such a Fine Grade magic weapon was legendary to the big families in Beishan City. Even their governor’s best equipment was probably only of High Grade.
Fine Grade magic weapons would only appear in the Supreme Immortal Cities or the top-notch main cities. Who knew, one appeared in Beishan City. What was more, it was being auctioned at the moment.
The red-dressed lady’s expression did not change. The changes in the crowd were within her expectations. Even she gasped when she heard the news. What kind of desperate situation did the treasure’s owner encounter that he would sell it for money?
After a moment, the red-dressed lady said, “I believe that everyone has seen the equivalent rank of this treasure sword. It’s of Fine Grade Rank Three. Even I’m very surprised because this might be the highest-level magic weapon ever to be auctioned in Beishan City’s history.”
Everyone nodded repeatedly. What they were most concerned about was the price of this magic weapon. Some of the smarter people had taken out their tokens and talismans to send voice transmissions to their families, asking the most powerful people from their families to make a decision. This was because this treasure was not something that they could possess alone.
Of course, some people had also given. They were either from small families or were rogue cultivators. They understood that even if they used up all their wealth, they would not have enough to bid.
Soon, those people from large clans received voice transmissions, where they were asked to secure the treasure at all costs.
That explained everything. Spirit coins could be earned again, and they could exploit the lower-class people. However, magic weapons were a symbol of strength and could be passed down from generation to generation.
Looking at the messy seatings, the red-clothed lady especially gave everyone some time. After about 8 minutes, she slowly said, “The starting price for the Fine Grade magic weapon is 800,000 high-grade spirit coins. As this magic weapon is special, the Glorious Treasures Chamber of Commerce can temporarily provide the funds for the auction. The person who gets the treasure can simply return the funds to us within a year.”
This way, it was convenient for the bidders. Of course, it was also beneficial for the Chamber of Commerce. After all, the more money the magic weapon was sold for, the more they could get.
Given the strength of the Glorious Treasures Chamber of Commerce, even the city’s governor and the forces behind the city would not dare to go back on their words. As such, the chamber would not have to worry about people borrowing money without returning.
“Let the bidding begin!”
The red-dressed woman deliberately raised her voice. This was the highest-quality magic weapon that Beishan City’s Chamber of Commerce would be auctioning.
“900,000!”
A voice sounded from the private room next to Ou Yangming’s.
“The Qiu family offers 1,000,000!” Young Master Qiu hurriedly stood up. He had communicated with his family just now, and he was asked to spare no effort. Even if the flying boat was not to be refined anymore, he must get his hands on the Fine Grade magic weapon.
“1,050,000!” Another voice was heard.
Ou Yangming quietly looked down. The final price was something to look forward to.
