With the closing of the second exhibit, the auctioneer launched a series of exquisite and precious exhibits, all of which were bought at high prices!
But none of them made Ye Qiansui's heart move!
Zhao Ting looked at Room No. 10, where the lantern had not been lit from beginning to end, and he became more certain that the person before him was just a show-off who came here to pretend to be a big shot without any gold!
Looking at the two exhibits he had photographed, his contempt for Ye Qiansui became even stronger!
With the introduction of the seventh exhibit, the same sighs were heard again in the venue!
But this time, I was not surprised by the exhibits on the stand, but because the exhibit on the stand was just an ordinary stone!
"What's going on? Aren't the exhibits from this Treasure Pavilion supposed to become more valuable as time goes by?
Why did they put an ordinary stone there this time? Even if this stone was put there for the first time, I’m afraid no one would take a picture of it, let alone now!
"However, everything found in this Treasure Pavilion is a treasure. This has never happened before. I guess this stone must have some special qualities to be placed here!"
"But now it depends on which big shot is willing to spend the money to buy this thing!"
As the exhibits were unveiled, people sitting under the booths on the first floor were whispering and talking to each other!
"This exhibit is for those who can appreciate it. Its existence itself cannot be valued, but it has entered our Treasure Pavilion.
The price here will determine its price. The starting price is 10,000 taels. The same rules apply: the highest bidder wins! The bidding price is 2,000 taels. Now starts!
As the hammer in the auctioneer's hand fell, the bidding began!
Just when everyone was waiting to see who would pay to take a picture of the stone, the lights in Room 10, which had been dark, suddenly lit up!
In the darkness, Ye Qiansui looked at the stone on the exhibition stand with an expression of determination to win!
If she was not mistaken, her space seemed to be calling out to the stone!
"Okay! Light up room 10, ten thousand taels!"
When the auctioneer saw the lit lantern, he shouted to the people present with admiration in his eyes!
This is a stone placed here by Taoist Jiuyang from the Imperial Observatory. When he placed the stone here, he said that he wanted it to find its destined person!
It must be exhibited tonight so that it can meet the right person!
Just when everyone was curious about who was the victim, they turned on the headlights.
The headlights in Room 4 were also lit again!
"Hey! There are quite a lot of suckers today. Just a broken stone like this, even Room 4 turned on their headlights!"
"But speaking of which, it's been a long time since the light was on in room 10 or anyone entered it!"
"It seems like there will be a good show to watch today. Let's see who will get the stone!"
The auctioneer seemed not to hear the discussion in the audience, and still shouted out the competing price without changing his expression. Ye Qiansui did not feel strange when he saw someone lighting a lamp!
This is an auction venue, so it's normal to have competition!
So he got up and lit another lantern!
Zhao Ting originally thought that no lanterns would be lit on Ye Qiansui's side, but he didn't expect that he would light up his headlamp just for a broken stone!
Although this broken stone is of no use to me, I absolutely cannot let him succeed!
Then he lit another lantern!
After seeing this, Ye Qiansui lit another lamp without hesitation!
Zhao Ting in Room 4 also had no intention of letting Ye Qiansui go and continued to follow up!
In an instant, the field became a competition between their two boxes!
It was not until Ye Qiansui called out the price of thirty-eight thousand taels that Zhao Ting's follow-up speed slowed down a little!
Seeing Zhao Ting's hesitation, Hu Nianxin laughed disdainfully!
"Humph, it's just a broken stone, there's no need to be so aggressive, but now a competitive situation has formed!
You're about to admit defeat, you've really slapped yourself in the face!"
After Hu Nianxin finished speaking, she cast her gaze towards the lantern hanging in front of the window of Room 10, as if wondering who was inside.
Zhao Ting was stimulated by her words, and immediately lit another lantern without waiting for the auctioneer to drop the hammer!
When the auctioneer saw the lit lantern, he raised his eyebrows and a rare look of surprise appeared on his face!
"Forty thousand taels! Room four has already bid forty thousand taels. While the price isn't jaw-dropping, the number of lights already lit has reached eight. It seems some people are still optimistic about this exhibit!"
The auctioneer's expression was still gentle as he stood next to the display stand and explained to everyone!
Because there were only Ye Qiansui and Zhao Ting bidding in the venue, the number of lit lanterns increased sharply!
Zhao Ting heard what the auctioneer said in the room and also noticed this!
He calculated in his mind that the tenth lantern would fall on Ye Qiansui's side. He didn't believe that someone who had booked room number ten could have so much money to light ten lanterns and pay ten times the price!
Thinking of this, the lanterns behind Zhao Ting were lit more decisively!
After two bids, the final decision fell into Ye Qiansui's hands!
Zhao Ting now walked to the window, as if he could see Ye Qiansui's embarrassed expression through the darkness!
"Alright, 440 million. Room 4 bid the highest price, so this exhibit will go to Room 4!"
Just when the auctioneer thought the matter had come to an end and was about to drop the gavel in his hand, a look of shock appeared on his face!
The tenth lantern lit up in Ye Qiansui’s private room in Room 10!
The guests present and the people in the box were all shocked and cast incredible glances towards Ye Qiansui's box!
After a moment of silence, the auctioneer suddenly woke up from his shock!
"Room 10, all lanterns are lit. If no one follows, then this exhibit will belong to the owner of Room 10!"
The auctioneer stood there proudly, announcing the current result!
Zhao Ting was now standing in front of the window in a daze. He really didn't expect that a person who only booked room number ten would dare to light ten lanterns!
"Why don't you follow? We still have one lantern left here!"
Hu Nianxin saw that everyone downstairs was cheering for Box No. 10, and looked at Zhao Ting questioningly and said!
"It's not that our young master doesn't want to follow suit, but it's really not a wise move to pay 10 times the price for a piece of broken stone like this!"
A servant following Zhao Ting saw his young master's embarrassment and started to speak well of his young master!
After hearing this, Hu Nianxin just curled her lips and turned her gaze towards box number ten!
After the auctioneer waited for a sufficient amount of time and saw no more bidding, he dropped the gavel and completed the transaction!
As the gavel fell, the lights in the hall lit up almost at the same time!
Careful people will find that the lights in the venue were all ignited by people using internal force to launch fire from different positions!
