"I understand!"
Luo Jiahe gave a signal, and someone immediately stopped and brought over a box.
The box is marked with a chilled wine label on the outside, but inside there is a velvet protective layer that can protect the jade well.
The assistant carried the items to the back office for authentication.
Luo Jiahe was in a great mood. There was an unexpected accident today, and many things could not be photographed. Mingluo's items just filled the gap in the auction.
He noticed that Mingluo had a bag full of good stuff and really wanted to get along with her.
Moreover, Mingluo is also a master of Xuanmen (a branch of Taoism). They had some items backstage that were difficult to authenticate and wanted to ask Mingluo for help in authenticating them.
Mingluo readily agreed.
She'll probably come to the auctions often in the future; we need each other in many ways.
Luo Jiahe was overjoyed. Once everyone had stopped paying too much attention to the place, he got up and left.
Before leaving, he saw that Master Lin had raised the price of the Nine Soul Spirit to thirty million. Master Lin was trembling with anger, but he was also determined to win.
He couldn't help but shake his head.
There were so many people bidding so eagerly at the auction that I never expected Master Lin, at his age, to be so excited.
Master Lin's heart was bleeding; thirty million was enough for him to buy three Mingluo jade bowls.
"This is outrageous! That kid is absolutely despicable. I'm going to find him."
He finally couldn't hold back and decided to swallow his pride and talk to Zou Jinnian, asking him to stop bidding against the others. If he kept doing that, he wouldn't even want a piece of paper anymore.
Before leaving, he glanced at Mingluo with a resentful look, wondering if Mingluo would have the heart to let him go.
Unfortunately, Minglu smiled at him, revealing a bright and encouraging smile. "Master Lin, thank you."
"..." Master Lin was so angry that he almost choked on his own blood.
He felt like he'd been tricked today!
He went to find Zou Jinnian in a huff.
A moment later, he returned.
He promised Zou Jinnian to help him once, and in return, Zou Jinnian didn't compete with him for the Nine Soul Spirit.
However, Zou Jinnian did not say that he would not bid on the next item.
This means that he will likely have to pay several times the expected price to acquire the three items Mingluo needs.
This price far exceeds the value of the paper money and his psychological tolerance.
Master Lin's face turned deathly pale.
On stage.
Lin He is still bidding, and the price is set by Zou Jinnian, which has already reached 32 million.
"Is anyone else bidding? If no one is bidding..."
"32 million, just once!"
Master Lin shouted, "32.01 million!"
Everyone burst into laughter.
Lin He couldn't help but laugh.
He looked at Zou Jinnian, but saw that Zou Jinnian did not bid again.
In the end, the Nine Soul Spirit fell into Master Lin's pocket for 32.01 million...
The assistant respectfully brought the items over.
Master Lin looked at the nine spirits, fuming.
The bell looked like an ordinary magic bell; its combat attributes still needed to be investigated by its owner.
As for being able to bind the soul...
They're not evil cultivators, so why would they bind people's souls?
"Let me see what good stuff it is that's worth so much money."
He reached out to take it.
Mingluo deftly stopped him, smiling as she said, "Master Lin, don't forget our agreement. You paid for it, but the item is mine. If you accidentally make a contract with this bell, I'll have the item, but it won't be of any use to me, will it?"
"contract?"
Master Lin and Master Gu were taken aback.
Master Lin said, "Where can you find a magical artifact that can be contracted now?"
Master Gu looked at Ming Luo with a deep gaze. "Ming girl, do you understand contracts?"
Mingluo: "..." She's been exposed.
She never imagined that there were no longer any objects in the world that could be contracted.
She said casually, "I don't know, I just said it offhand."
She calmly placed the magical artifact in her pocket, and Bai Xiaobai darted inside.
The Nine Souls seemed to be activated, emitting a series of crisp "ding-ding-dang-dang" sounds.
All eyes were on her.
Mingluo: "..."
The fox cubs only know how to cause trouble.
She took out the bell with an indifferent expression and flicked it with her finger.
The bell fell silent.
Bai Xiaobai also fell silent.
That damn woman flicked its head and it hurts so much.
It will take its revenge someday.
Master Gu and Master Lin exchanged a glance, both noticing the unusual nature of the bell. They thought they must find an opportunity to ask Mingluo about its origin in private.
Nie Yuchen saw the malevolent energy flickering in the bell and the vengeful glint in Bai Xiaobai's eyes, while Mingluo easily subdued them.
This shows that Mingluo is far more powerful than them.
He looked at Mingluo with a smile in his eyes, his gaze filled with doting affection without him even realizing it.
The auction continues.
Soon, Mingluo's jade bowl was brought onto the stage.
Minglu said to Nie Yuchen, "Help me raise the price."
Nie Yuchen was a regular at auctions, so he immediately understood.
He immediately got into the zone and waited quietly.
When the bid reached 5 million, there were very few other bidders left. Only then did he begin to bid: "6 million."
Minglu waited quietly, and then heard Zou Jinnian's voice. "7 million."
A mocking smile appeared on her lips.
The fish has taken the bait.
...
Finally, when Zou Jinnian raised the price to 19 million, Mingluo tugged at Nie Yuchen, signaling him to stop.
Nie Yuchen figured it was about time, so he looked at Zou Jinnian.
