Inside the box, Gu Yuan was also somewhat surprised that this pair of jade hairpins actually had such an effect.
However, what surprised Gu Yuan the most was not this thing, but Long Wu’s words.
"After our experiments, we found that the protective shield of this pair of jade hairpins can withstand the full force of a peak Spirit King."
This sentence attracted Gu Yuan's attention.
Long Wu's strength is obviously the strongest in the Blood Chamber of Commerce, and Long Wu's strength is definitely not at the peak level of the Spirit King. So, in addition to the results obtained by another chamber of commerce's own experiments, could it be possible that it was tested by internal personnel of the Blood Chamber of Commerce?
Gu Yuan was very suspicious that the Blood Chamber of Commerce was really more than what it seemed, because Gu Yuan always felt that such a large-scale auction should not appear here. Thinking about it carefully, Gu Yuan felt more and more that his guess was correct.
A chamber of commerce that originally had only two Spirit Kings, if it didn't have external forces, through what channels did it connect with nearly half of the chambers of commerce in the empire and even win the right to host the event?
You know, looking at this trend, the transaction volume of the Blood Chamber of Commerce's triennial auction is unknown, and the auctioneer will take a commission from it. Gu Yuan can hardly imagine the profit. How does the Blood Chamber of Commerce make these profits?
Relying on two Spirit Kings? Gu Yuan absolutely didn't believe it.
"So, the Blood Merchant Guild must have hidden power or a large backing. Otherwise, how could it have achieved this? No guild would easily let go of such huge profits, right? But coincidentally, no one is competing with it for these profits. That's the strangest thing."
Gu Yuan touched his chin and slowly sorted out his thoughts in his mind.
"Brother Gu Yuan, what are you thinking about? You seem to be lost in thought."
"Shh! Don't bother me, I'm thinking!"
Gu Yuan said with a serious face.
"Oh, okay!" Lie Yuer looked aggrieved.
Looking at her aggrieved look, Gu Yuan shook his head helplessly. This woman was obviously already 25 or 26 years old, 7 or 8 years older than him, but why did he always feel that she was still like a 17 or 18-year-old girl?
“It actually feels pretty good this way!”
For some reason, this thought suddenly popped up in Gu Yuan's mind, and he was so scared that he quickly shifted his gaze to the auction table to stop himself from thinking about it.
"The auction of the Xuantian Jade Hairpin is now open. The starting price is three million! Each bid must not be less than one hundred thousand."
This price is already low for a fifth-grade spiritual weapon, but the auction house will not do business at a loss, and they are not worried about losing money.
Because after hearing about this function, even the male practitioners were extremely coveting this pair of jade hairpins. They were life-saving items that could block a full-strength attack from a peak Spirit King!
"I'll offer 3.1 million gold coins!"
In the audience, a female spiritual practitioner directly called out the price.
"Three million and two hundred thousand gold coins!" This was also the voice of a female spiritual cultivator.
"Three million three hundred thousand gold coins!"
"Three million four hundred thousand gold coins!"
"Three million six hundred thousand gold coins!"
…
"Four million gold coins!"
After several rounds of bidding, the relatively few female spiritual practitioners in the venue raised the price to four million gold coins.
"Tsk tsk, this thing is quite interesting!"
In a box somewhere, Zhou Lin looked at the Xuantian Jade Hairpin on the stage and said with a smile.
"Young master, are you interested in this thing?" The middle-aged man in hemp clothes stood next to Zhou Lin and asked in a deep voice.
"Well, I do find it quite interesting. A spiritual weapon that can withstand a full-strength attack from a peak Spirit King is indeed a good treasure!"
When Zhou Lin saw the pair of jade hairpins, the first person that came to his mind was the girl with long scorpion braids whom he met at the door. He could never forget that beauty, and she had been deeply engraved in his mind.
"You said that the man named Gu Yuan is from Yushou City? And that girl is from Boulder City?" Zhou Lin asked.
The middle-aged man in hemp clothes said, "Yes, young master. The boy named Gu Yuan is from Beast Taming City. He came to Giant Stone City alone to train. I have checked and found that he has no special background. His cultivation is only that of a third-level spiritual master. He seems to be a little familiar with the third boss of the Blood Merchant Guild. Apart from that, there is nothing else."
"What's the girl's name? Have you found out about her background?" Zhou Lin asked with a frown.
"Master, we only know that the girl is related to a place called the Black Market here. There is no other useful information. Her identity seems a bit mysterious." said the middle-aged man in hemp clothes.
"Oh? His identity is a bit mysterious? That's interesting. How mysterious is it that we can't even find out?"
"Master, I'll check this out after I finish here."
Zhou Lin waved his hand and said, "No need. It's not like you don't know which box she is in now, why don't you go over and ask?"
"Master, are you going over now?"
"No! Wait a moment." Zhou Lin's lips curled up slightly, his eyes narrowed slightly, not knowing what he was thinking.
…
The atmosphere in the auction hall was quite intense at this moment.
The reason was simple: an unknown man actually participated in the bidding, which triggered a fierce competition among all the men present.
Originally, some people were a little embarrassed to bid for these things used by women, but facing the function of this spiritual weapon, they came up with things like, "I have a sister-in-law who has been wandering around the world recently and is in danger and needs something to save her life." "I have a Taoist partner, her cultivation is not high, and I am very worried about her safety outside." "I have a friend who said she wanted this pair of jade hairpins, but she has no money to buy them, so she asked me to buy them for her." and so on, they made up prices out of nothing.
This also made the female practitioners present very angry. This pair of jade hairpins was clearly suitable for them, but these shameless guys actually came up with so many non-existent female friends and relatives to buy this pair of jade hairpins. They were so shameless!
Some people secretly gritted their teeth and cursed the man who made the first offer in their hearts. If it weren't for him, the current situation would not have happened. Now, with the addition of these guys, even if they could get it, they would have to pay several times the price.
"Seven million one hundred thousand!"
As a rough voice sounded, the whole hall instantly boiled over.
"Damn it, these guys are crazy, right? Even if they can get it off, so what? If they can't get it off, will they really stick it in their own bun?"
Some female practitioners directly spit out fragrant words.
"What's the matter? Are we not worthy of wearing hairpins? We have to wear them anyway, so what difference does it make? Besides, it can save our lives!"
Some men were dissatisfied and argued with the female spiritual practitioner without blushing or beating their hearts.
"you!"
The female spiritual practitioner's mouth twitched, and she actually felt that what he said seemed to make some sense.
Since you're just wearing a hairpin, it doesn't seem wrong to wear one that can save your life, right?
