Finale
Ouke swallowed the pill on the spot. A few seconds later, his face lit up with excitement as he said to the people around him, "I feel it. I'm free! From today on, I won't eat, drink, or sleep!"
Everyone: “…”
Qiao Jianmin wiped the sweat from his forehead and continued to introduce the next item, this time, two kinds of yellow talisman paper.
"The fifth and sixth lots are talismans. We will auction them one by one."
"First, three water-repellent talismans. These allow the user to breathe freely and move freely underwater, unaffected by water pressure. They last twelve hours. Starting price: 100 million."
The purpose of this talisman is relatively special and most people present do not need it.
But the National Oceanic Research Institute is competing with several companies engaged in deep-sea salvage and ocean shipping.
In the end, the Ocean Research Institute spent 1.5 billion yuan to add another magical artifact to the country's deep-sea exploration.
"The next talisman is the barrier talisman." Qiao Jianmin's voice became heavier. "This talisman can create an invisible barrier with a maximum area of 10,000 square meters, which lasts for one year.
The barrier can resist all physical attacks and block electronic snooping. Starting price: one billion."
As soon as he finished speaking, the scene became noisy again.
For those standing at the top of the pyramid, security is always a pain point.
A talisman that can provide absolute safety for up to a year is invaluable!
"1.5 billion!"
"Two billion!"
"Three billion!"
Prices soared like crazy.
"Fifty billion!" Old man Shen Zhenhua of the Shen family raised the sign himself with a firm voice. The safety of the Shen family was what he cared about most.
"Mr. Shen has also taken action!"
"Six billion!" Another hidden wealthy family was not willing to be outdone.
Shen Yichen, the grandson of the Shen family, was beside his grandfather and whispered, “Grandpa, we must take it down!”
Shen Zhenhua nodded and raised his sign again: "Eight billion!"
This price deterred competitors as it was the limit of their liquidity.
In the end, the barrier talisman was successfully purchased by the Shen family.
After the talisman auction ended, Qiao Jianmin took a deep breath. The next two items were the finale.
"The next lot is the Da Huan Dan."
A crimson pill was brought up.
"This pill can reshape a person's body and restore their vitality when they are just a breath away. Severed limbs can be regenerated, and organs can be repaired. As long as the person is not completely dead, they can be brought back from the brink of death."
Qiao Jianmin's words hit everyone's heart hard.
This is the same as the life-extending elixir, it’s a second life!
"Starting price: 10 billion Great Xia coins!"
"Eleven billion!"
"Thirteen billion!"
"Twenty billion!"
In the end, the patriarch of the Ba family in Hong Kong personally made the final decision and won the Great Rejuvenation Pill for 50 billion in cash, plus 20% of the profit rights of the largest diamond mine owned by his family for the next 30 years.
By this point, the atmosphere at the auction had reached its peak, and everyone felt that their hearts were about to give out.
For the last item, Qiao Jianmin's Adam's apple rolled, and he tried to keep his voice steady.
"Everyone, this auction has the last item..."
The entire audience, and indeed everyone watching around the world, held their breath.
"Resurrection Pill."
"Its effect..." Qiao Jianmin paused before continuing, "It can bring the dead back to life."
boom!
The entire venue exploded, and the global live broadcast server was stuck.
resurrection!
The things in myths and legends actually happened!
After a brief pause in the live broadcast server, the screen was filled with barrages of comments.
“????????????????”
“!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
"I...fuck?"
"Server: I have endured everything I shouldn't have endured."
"I declare that the Age of Mythology has arrived."
"Of course, there are restrictions," Qiao Jianmin added hastily, trying to maintain order at the scene. "The user must have been dead no more than twenty-four hours ago, and their body must be intact. This pill can reunite the dissipated soul and awaken the dead body."
Such restrictions actually make people believe more in the authenticity of the Soul-Restoring Pill.
"The starting price..." Qiao Jianmin paused, "50 billion Great Xia coins."
"One hundred billion!"
The person who made the offer was the head of the Ba family in Hong Kong Island who had previously bid for the Dahuan Dan. His grandson beside him was trying to calm him down, but he himself had wide eyes, a hoarse voice, and was very determined.
With the Dahuan Pill to save their lives and the Huihun Pill, the Ba family now has two real ways out!
"One hundred and fifty billion!" The old man of the Rong family followed without hesitation. People around him could even hear the "cracking" sound of his bones and joints clenching.
"Two hundred billion!"
"Three hundred billion!"
"Five hundred billion!" A family representative who had been sitting at the back of the venue and remained silent raised a sign.
They are the Jiangnan Lin family, which has been passed down for hundreds of years. Their background is so unfathomable that many people have almost forgotten their existence.
This figure caused the bidding to pause for the first time. Five hundred billion in cash was the annual military expenditure of many countries.
The head of the Ba family turned pale, and the heir beside him whispered, "Father, our liquidity has reached its limit."
The Ba family leader ignored her. He stared at Zhong Ling on the stage, stood up suddenly, and shouted loudly, "The Ba Group will have 50% of the profit rights of all ports for the next 50 years! Plus 500 billion in cash!"
The whole audience gasped.
"The Lin family is willing to donate the original painting of "Traveling in the Mountains" handed down from our ancestors, plus 600 billion in cash!" The representative of the Jiangnan Lin family followed suit and shouted out the price.
"Traveling in the Mountains" is a long-lost national treasure!
"My Rong family is willing to donate all our ancient castles and art collections, and promise that in the next hundred years, the descendants of the Rong family will unconditionally support any national scientific research projects, and all patents will belong to the state! In addition, we will pay 700 billion in cash!" Old Master Rong also risked his life, and he was betting on the long-term prosperity of his family.
The bidding has entered a fierce stage, and it has become a three-way competition among the Ba family, the Rong family, and the Lin family.
They kept increasing the stakes, making the people present and the global audience's scalps tingle.
"I feel like I'm listening to a foreign language. Is this what the world of the rich is like?"
"'Traveling Along the Mountain' is out now? This is crazy, this is all fucking crazy!"
"This isn't an auction anymore. This is a display of national strength, right?"
"This isn't an auction; it's a fantasy novel coming to life."
"No novelists wouldn't dare write this way, for fear of being called exaggerated."
"I finally understood what it meant when poverty limited my imagination. It turns out that money really can buy life."
"Stop arguing. I'm looking for ways to immigrate. No, how to reincarnate back into Daxia."
When the three families were arguing fiercely,
Someone no one expected raised a sign and calmly made an offer: "On behalf of the Daxia National Museum, I bid for the permanent ownership of all national treasures."
