The scene became noisy, and everyone was waiting for the auction to begin. The publicity of the two major auction houses clearly stated that in addition to the treasure map, there would be other treasures.

Suddenly, the magic lights on the auction stage lit up, and everyone subconsciously looked over.

The scene gradually quieted down.

A beautiful woman in cheongsam walked out from the backstage and onto the stage with a smile.

"Hello everyone, and welcome to this special sale jointly organized by Christie's and Sotheby's. I am their specially invited auctioneer, Yun Zhiqing, and I will be hosting today's auction."

Yun Zhiqing's voice is very royal, with a smile that makes people feel like they are bathed in spring breeze and eager to act.

Just by hearing this sound, people have an urge to participate in the auction.

"Today's sale is a little special. Although we're holding the auction in Dynasty, all transactions will be conducted in real-world Chinese currency. Everyone knows today's biggest highlight, so naturally, the grand finale will be left to the end. Let's not waste any more time, and let's begin the auction now."

Yun Zhiqing smiled and stretched out his hand, and the waiter backstage brought up the first auction item.

Everyone subconsciously followed her voice and looked at the auction items brought up by the waiter.

A kind of refining tool, red gold and iron.

Seeing the red gold iron, many players looked at each other in surprise. This material can be used to refine weapons and is one of the best basic refining materials, but the red gold iron is not precious enough to be included in an auction of this level.

"I see confusion on everyone's faces," Yun Zhiqing said with a smile. "Let me explain. Today's first lot isn't this red gold and iron, but a compass coordinate that records a red gold and iron vein."

“???”

"Hiss~"

"Oh My God."

At this moment, everyone's doubts were resolved.

Red iron is not worth much, but the mineral veins are another matter.

"This lot is being auctioned by Christie's. It's a red-gold iron ore vein located on an island in the Endless Sea. Our client was the first to reach the island, discover the vein, and record its exact coordinates. I have the island's coordinates. This vein has proven reserves of approximately three million tons.

Powerful guilds can participate and develop it. It's worth a fortune. The compass coordinates of this red gold vein have a starting price of 5 billion."
