C10 Mysterious Iron Sword
Jianghai Underground Auction House.
This time, when Lin Yun and Lau Hongyi entered this mysterious underground auction house, no one blocked their way.
The people guarding the door carefully checked Lin Yun and the others' belongings. After confirming that they did not carry any dangerous items, they let them in.
It turned out that this auction house was one of the properties of Zhao Yuanchang from the Blue Sky Gang.
The auction was held irregularly. Those who came to participate in the auction were all famous people in the Jianghai. Therefore, in order to ensure that the auction was held as scheduled, the safety of the guests must be guaranteed.
In order to not reveal the identity of the bidders, Lin Yun and the others received a mask and a number plate after registering. It was number 27.
When the bidder participated in the bidding, the bidder would directly raise the number plate that he had received and participate in the bidding.
After the auction ended, the bidder paid and a specialized person handed over the items that he had obtained.
It could be said that the security of the auction was very well done. No wonder there were many rich people or powerful big shots participating in the auction every time it was held.
Due to Lau Hongyi's identity, Lin Yun and the others were arranged to an elegant private room. It was said that as long as you had enough capital, you could buy almost anything in this kind of auction.
For example, antiques, calligraphy paintings, jade and herbs.
About ten minutes later, the lights of the auction house suddenly dimmed. Then, a dazzling light illuminated a stage in the center of the auction house.
After a while, a woman who was dressed in revealing clothes and had an exceptionally beautiful appearance walked in.
She first bowed deeply to the audience, and faintly revealed two clusters of white and full breasts. This made some people in the audience secretly swallow their saliva.
If it wasn't for the situation being wrong, there would probably be people who would climb up and ride her beneath them, brutally ravaging her.
"Hehe, it's a bit interesting."
Lin Yun saw it and smiled without batting an eyelid.
"Hello, everyone. I am the host of this auction, Yan Ji."
"Cut the crap. Let's enter the auction process."
After a while, a huge display screen on the top of the auction house displayed a blood red jade pendant.
Yan Ji cleared her throat and said seductively,
"This is a jade pendant from the underground tomb. It is said that it is a burial item of a general. The starting price is one million. Each increment must be no less than fifty thousand."
Although the color of this jade pendant was very beautiful, However, it was indeed a burial item, so not many people had the desire to buy it.
"This is... Jade Marrow!"
Lin Yun inadvertently took a glance and actually noticed that there was Jade Marrow in this jade pendant. Although there were very few of them, it also made him extremely happy.
It was because the jade marrow was the same as the ancient herbs. They both had spirituality.
Lau Hongyi noticed Lin Yun's happy expression. His expression changed and he said happily,
"Mr. Lin, I will buy the things you like for you, as a token of appreciation from the Liu family."
Lin Yun knew what Lau Hongyi was thinking. However, this item was very important to him. At this moment, he didn't have much money on him.
"Alright. When you find something suitable, you can buy it for me. Consider it a favor I owe the Liu family."
Hearing Lin Yun's words, Lau Hongyi was so excited that he almost jumped up. He suppressed the ecstasy in his heart and hurriedly replied.
Although there were a few people bidding one after another, when the price of this jade pendant reached 1.3 million, not many people were interested in it.
In the end, Lau Hongyi successfully won it at 1.4 million.
Seeing that the auction was a little awkward, Yan Ji did not show any displeasure. She smiled charmingly and said sweetly,
"Next is the second item of this auction - a 100 year old wild ginseng."
"The starting price is 2 million, each increment must be no less than 100,000."
Lau Hongyi was excited. He felt that the auction tonight was specially held for him. He was determined to get this wild ginseng.
However, the bidding process was not as smooth as before. Perhaps older herbs were more precious, but Lau Hongyi met a few people who were bidding against him.
However, in order to satisfy Lin Yun, Lau Hongyi threw caution to the wind.
In the end, he bid at a price of about five million.
Seeing that there was finally a good start, the auctioneer Yan Ji smiled charmingly and continued the auction.
"The next item to be auctioned is the item that everyone has been looking forward to for a long time - Feng Shui Compass."
"This Feng Shui Compass is the item of Jianghai's Master Chen. I don't think I need to say much about Master Chen's name."
The crowd became excited. It turned out that most of them were here for this Feng Shui compass.
The auctioneer Yan Ji added,
"This Feng Shui compass has the ability to condense Feng Shui and drive away evil. It can be said that it is a true magic artifact!"
Hearing the word magic tool, the people below could not sit still anymore. Almost everyone looked at the item in the field with burning eyes, wishing that they could immediately bid for it.
Lin Yun noticed that Lau Hongyi beside him was no longer calm. His eyes were fixed on the Feng Shui compass in the arena, afraid that it would disappear.
After asking the reason, Lin Yun found out that the Feng Shui compass in front of him was made by Master Chen of Jianghai. He was a very famous Taoist. Many rich people were trying to curry favor with him.
"The starting price of the Feng Shui compass is 30 million yuan, and each increment must be no less than 100,000 yuan."
After the auctioneer finished speaking, many wealthy people couldn't help but bid. Soon, the bidding price reached 50 million.
Looking at this, this price would continue to rise.
Lau Hongyi looked at Lin Yun for help. He wanted Lin Yun to help appraise the authenticity of this item and whether it was worth buying.
Lin Yun glanced at the Feng Shui compass on the field and found that there was indeed a faint white airflow surrounding it.
After buying it and putting it at home, it did indeed have the effects that the auctioneer had mentioned, but the effects could only be maintained for about a year.
Hearing Lin Yun's answer, Lau Hongyi could not help bidding after thanking him seriously.
"Number 27 bids 55 million. Is there any higher bid?"
Yan Ji was very happy. Seeing so many people bidding, her commission tonight would definitely be a lot.
Thus, she looked at the people in the field with even more enthusiasm and asked loudly.
"Is there anyone who bids higher?"
After a while, someone in the room next door raised the number plate and said lightly, "60 million."
"Humph.
Hearing this familiar voice, Lau Hongyi snorted heavily.
It turned out that the person sitting in the room next door was someone from the Tao family of Jianghai.
The Tao family and Liu family have similar statuses, but the two families have always been competing in business. Currently, both families are enemies.
"61 million."
Lau Hongyi continued to bid. The other party didn't want to lag behind either, so he continued to shout.
"65 million."
"You...!!"
Lau Hongyi became angry when he heard the other party not giving him any face. He wanted to see how capable the Tao family was to oppose him.
"70 million..."
Hearing this price, most of the people gave up on participating in the auction. They also understood that the treasure in front of them must be something that several families were determined to obtain.
"75 million!"
The Tao family did not give up and lightly stated this price.
"You've gone too far!"
Lau Hongyi could not sit still anymore. He stood up and prepared to continue bidding, but Lin Yun stopped him.
Although this Feng Shui compass was a magic artifact, its effect was not as magical as what the auctioneer said. If he continued bidding, it would not be worth it.
However, since the other party cared so much about this item and obtained this Feng Shui compass without paying any price, this was underestimating Lin Yun.
He asked Lau Hongyi to continue bidding. After raising the price of this item, he admitted defeat and gave up bidding.
Lau Hongyi shouted angrily, "80 million, Tao family, are you sure you want to go against me?"
"Heh, who do you think the Liu family is? The Tao family doesn't even care about you!"
A disdainful voice came from the other side.
The people on the scene heard the people from the Tao family and Liu family bidding against each other. They were all very happy to watch a good show.
Therefore, Lau Hongyi continued bidding.
"81 million..."
"85 million...!"
[90 million...]
...
When the price finally reached 100 million, Lau Hongyi decisively withdrew. He laughed and said, "Congratulations to the Tao family for spending so much money to buy a defective product. A master beside me saw through it. That item can be used for at most one year!"
"You..."
Upon hearing Lau Hongyi's words, the Tao family finally reacted. It turned out that the bid just now was intentional by Lau Hongyi.
They had spent so much money to buy it. They were indeed very angry about a defective product that could only be used for a year. However, they still couldn't do something like reneging.
Thus, this Feng Shui compass was successfully bought by the Tao family for a price of 100 million.
The auctioneer Yan Ji was so excited that her hands were trembling. 100 million, she could get around 2 million for her percentage increase.
The next few items were displayed, but Lin Yun was not interested.
However, Lau Hongyi seemed to have gotten into a fight with the Tao family. He deliberately raised the price several times, making the other party extremely angry.
The auction was about to reach the final stage.
The auctioneer was very careful. From a black box he took out a black iron sword.
She cleared her throat and said excitedly:
"Everyone, this is a real treasure that we obtained by chance. Don't look down on it, but it is extremely sharp!"
After saying that, Yan Ji pulled out a strand of her hair.
Through the huge display screen above, people saw that the hair that fell off Yan Ji's head was directly split into two by the iron sword.
She took out another piece of heavy iron and after verifying the authenticity of the iron sword for the guests, Yan Ji picked up the iron sword and casually hacked down.
The metal that was about a meter thick was cut open by the iron sword. The cut was extremely smooth.
On the other hand, there was no gap at all on the iron sword's body. Upon closer inspection, the iron sword's entire body was condensed with a cold clear light. It gave people the feeling that it was indestructible!
Thus, the atmosphere in the arena suddenly changed.
Many of the people participating in the auction today were martial artists. If they could obtain this treasure, Then his fighting capacity would surely rise to a whole new level.
"The starting price of this iron sword is 50 million. Each bid must be no less than 1 million."
Lin Yun opened his eyes wide and took a closer look at the black iron sword in the arena. His expression turned dark.
"This is -"
"Star Stone!!"
