NOVEL WEB Chapter 424: The Gloomy Old Man
There are 150 lots, and it will take a long time to finish the auction.
Qi Tian didn't need to rush before the finale was announced. He simply sat on a chair and closed his eyes to rest.
"Who is this kid? Even I can't see through his strength."
The gloomy old man couldn't help but look at Qi Tian.
He could vaguely feel the strength of Feng Xiaotian and the others, but he could not detect any fluctuation of soul power from Qi Tian.
Just now, Qi Tian's voice was wrapped with soul power, which could be heard throughout the auction hall. With such strength, the soul power level is at least a high-level soul saint.
The old man knew very well that there was no such person in Hanlin City, and Qi Tian and his group came here from other places.
Huo Wu's behavior just now made the old man feel embarrassed. But he didn't necessarily want to cause trouble for Qi Tian and others after the auction.
The strong man from the Haotian Sect in the red private room made him very fearful. They even fought against each other before the auction started.
"The guys from Haotian Sect actually dared to show up on the mainland. The purpose of their trip must be that soul bone. Damn it, the money I have may not be able to compete with them."
"You little guys, if you dare to take pictures of the soul bones, don't blame me for being cruel."
With this in mind, he used voice to convey his order to a certain place in the auction house.
Several middle-aged men at the back of the white seats left the auction venue calmly.
Qi Tian saw everything the old man did.
"Haha, we won't fight for soul bones. Let's see what tricks you can come up with." Qi Tian smiled in his heart.
……
By the second half of the night, there were still more than twenty lots left.
There had been no heavyweight items for a long time, and many guests in the VIP seats felt drowsy.
In order to liven up the atmosphere, the auction house released another soul bone.
The auctioneer said loudly: "Dear guests, this is a right leg soul bone from the Gale Demon Wolf, and it is three thousand years old."
"Dear guests, after this soul bone, there will be no more soul bones except the soul bone for the finale. If you feel that you don't have the confidence to compete for the finale, you might as well settle for the second best and bid for this high-quality thousand-year soul bone."
"The starting price is 120,000 gold soul coins, and each bid must not be less than 5,000 gold soul coins."
"This is our auction item. I wonder what price it can be sold for?" Feng Xiaotian said in a voice transmission.
Qi Tian's spiritual power scanned all the guests present and concluded, "There should be quite a few people vying for it, but the price will not be higher than 230,000 gold soul coins."
Two hundred thousand gold soul coins were already the limit for a three thousand year soul bone. Only a three thousand year soul bone like the Titan Giant Ape would have a chance to soar to three hundred thousand gold soul coins.
The gloomy old man knew that he did not have enough money to compete for the Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone, so when the price of the Thousand Year Soul Bone reached 180,000 gold soul coins, he raised the price to 200,000 gold soul coins in one go.
The three thousand year soul bone has an extreme value, and he is confident that no one will compete with him for it.
"Tang Long, make your bid. The thousand-year soul bone is suitable for the sect's reward. With this soul bone, it can also motivate the disciples." The Seventh Elder said calmly.
All Spirit Hall forces in the Tiandou Empire were withdrawn, and they were at war with the Tiandou Empire.
Without the suppression of the Spirit Hall, the Haotian Sect is now considering returning to the mainland. When they heard that there were ten thousand year spirit bones for sale at the Hanlin City auction house, they asked the Seventh Elder to bring people to compete for them.
In addition, this is also a test. If no one is dissatisfied with the Haotian Sect returning to the mainland, the Haotian Sect can also send more people to travel on the mainland in the future.
Tang Long raised the price by 20,000 in one go, and the price of the thousand-year soul bone reached 220,000, which was more than the value of the soul bone itself.
"Who is competing with me?" There was a hint of ferocity in the gloomy old man's eyes.
When he saw the seven elders of Haotian Sect, his face looked extremely ugly.
He couldn't compete for the ten thousand year soul bone, so how could he let go of this thousand year soul bone so easily? Moreover, even if he couldn't take the picture, it would be great to let the Haotian Sect spend a little more money.
"Two hundred and thirty thousand gold soul coins." The old man said in a deep voice.
Feng Xiaotian and the others instinctively exclaimed, "This is far more than the value of the three thousand year soul bone itself!"
Qi Tian reminded everyone by voice transmission, "Don't tell everyone that the soul bones were provided by us, so as to avoid being targeted by this old guy."
Anyone who can take out soul bones must still have soul bones on his body.
Even if not, it is enough to attract many people to take action against them.
"Two hundred and thirty-five thousand gold soul coins." Qi Tian raised his hand and said.
The auction house does not restrict sellers from participating in the auction. After all, even if the seller takes the item back, he still needs to pay a 5% handling fee.
The higher the price of the item, the higher the handling fee will naturally be.
"Damn it, these guys are here to mess around." The old man snorted and bid again.
The Seventh Elder in the private room touched his chin and said, "A thousand-year-old soul bone can be auctioned for such a high price. Tang Long, keep raising the price. There is no reason for the Haotian Sect to miss out on soul bones that are over a thousand years old."
As for the cost of the auction items, they will definitely not pay them.
Being able to come to the auction house is giving you face, but you still dare to ask for money from my Haotian Sect?
"Two hundred and eighty thousand gold soul coins." The Seventh Elder raised the price arbitrarily.
Finally, the soul bone fell behind them.
……
At the end of the hour of the Ox, the auction house finally took out the finale item.
"Ladies and gentlemen, next is the finale of the auction. The first finale item is a soul guide from an ancient relic."
As he spoke, the auctioneer removed the red cloth on the tray, revealing a milky white soul guide.
"Because the records in the ruins are incomplete, we at the auction house have no way of knowing the function of this soul guide. However, that ruins was the place where a level 98 Title Douluo died. A soul guide that could be held tightly by such a strong man before his death must be worth a lot of money."
"The starting price is one million gold soul coins, and each bid increase must not be less than fifty thousand gold soul coins."
After the auctioneer finished speaking, only a few customers came to bid.
For the buyer, this soul guide has too much uncertainty. If you buy it back and find a use for it, at least you won't lose money. But if it is damaged or can't be used at all, then wouldn't the more than one million gold soul coins be wasted?
The guests in the big red VIP seats could only shake their heads helplessly.
They didn't have much money, and they all came here to fight for soul bones. It was obviously not worth wasting money on a soul guide whose function they didn't know.
"The situation of this soul guide is more like the vast ocean and universe cover." Qi Tianxin said.
Although the Vast Sea Universe Cover is the national treasure of the Tiandou Empire, it can only be kept in the treasury and gather dust.
Any minister who is a little knowledgeable would not want this soul guide as a reward.
Qi Tian’s mental power quietly came to the soul guide. If he could see what use it had, he wouldn’t mind taking advantage of it.
The moment his mental power came into contact with the soul guide, a hint of surprise appeared on Qi Tian's face.
