Chapter 45 Youling City Auction (Part 4)
"Who is Xu Qiuqian? Have you heard of him?"
"No."
"Neither have I."
"Hong'an Street? Is it the Hong'an Street I know?"
"That should be it. There is only one Hong'an Street in Youling City!"
"There are still shops open on Hong'an Street now? You are asking for death!"
"Perhaps a mortal."
"How could a mortal appear here..."
Everyone was talking about it, guessing who Xu Qiuqian Xia Qin was talking about.
"What is this auction for?"
At this time, Xia Qin continued: "This item is called a hand card. There are five in total. It is unique to the grocery store on Hong'an Street. If you take this item to the store, no matter what you need, the store can find it for you. As long as you pay enough spirit stones, the starting price is 10,000 spirit stones each, and 1,100 plus!"
Everyone looked at each other.
They had never heard of such a hand.
Also, who would believe that if you take this thing to a store, you can find anything?
What if there are all kinds of restrictions? This useless thing costs 10,000 spirit stones for one, and five of them cost a full 50,000 spirit stones. It's crazy!
For a while, no one bid.
Seeing this, Chen Wei couldn't help but get angry: "You are really blind. You don't even want such a good thing!"
As he was about to make a bid, he was suppressed by Xu Qiuqian.
"Why are you bidding?" Xu Qiuqian looked helpless.
"They don't want me but I do!"
"You have so many spirit stones?"
"I, I don't have it, but my dad does, I can ask him for it! Oh, and if others don't buy it, my dad will definitely buy it!"
Xu Qiuqian felt even more helpless.
"No need, and Patriarch Chen won't buy it either."
"Why?"
"Because he has."
She had given Chen Zhuozheng a full twenty dollars at the beginning, so there was no way that Chen Zhuozheng would buy it again. Moreover, she believed that even if Chen Zhuozheng didn't understand why she wanted to auction this thing, he would not make a rash bid.
This was also the reason why she gave Chen Zhuozheng twenty cards.
Xia Qin on the stage saw that everyone was whispering but no one made a bid, and she regretted putting this item first.
Generally speaking, the first item in an auction has to be slightly better, as it plays the role of stirring up everyone's emotions, so the first item cannot be too bad. However, since the items handed over by Xu Qiuqian, who has a relationship with the Chen family, are extremely rare, she inevitably wants to use the other party's items as the first item.
But she thought that since Xu Qiuqian could hand over so many rare items, her store must be famous.
I didn't expect that no one knew about it.
She still didn't do a good enough job. She didn't even send anyone to check and just put Xu Qiuqian's things first. She must learn from the experience next time.
Calming herself, she said, "If no one wants it, it will be unsold. Now the countdown is three..."
As soon as he finished speaking, several people raised their signs one after another.
A quick glance revealed that there were seven of them! Everyone was shocked.
What kind of hand is this? How come someone really bought it? Xu Qiuqian, who was sitting downstairs, looked at the person holding the sign.
The first one is Chen Zhuozheng. As expected, she probably decided to take pictures of all of her stuff because no one else took pictures of her stuff.
Next are Xie Manqing and the Feng family. After all, the two families agreed to cooperate with her, so they are willing to give her this face.
I didn’t recognize the other four, and judging by their seats, they weren’t from the major families.
This is unexpected.
When the number of bidders exceeds the number of people bidding on an item, the bidding will be calculated in the order in which they made the bids. If the later bidders want the item, they will have to increase their bids.
Chen Zhuozheng bid the fastest, followed by Xie Manqing, and the last three were unknown. The Feng family was unexpectedly ranked sixth.
Seeing this, the last bidder hesitated for a moment and then gave up.
The No. 215 sign of the Feng family was raised a little.
"No. 215, increase the price by one thousand!"
Then the Feng family becomes the first in the ranking, and the original fifth becomes sixth. If the sixth does not bid, the Feng family will get the cards at the price of 11,000 spirit stones, and the other four families will get the cards at the price of 10,000 spirit stones.
Xu Qiuqian thought that the sixth person would give up, but unexpectedly, the sixth person immediately raised the sign and moved it up.
"No. 236 raises the price by one thousand!"
"No. 58 raises the price by one thousand!"
No one expected that this inexplicable hand card would not only be bought but also scrambled for! Ying Liangzhi also looked confused.
"I don't think this hand of cards is anything special. Could it be that they really buy it just because they can find anything?"
Xie Manqing, who was not far away, couldn't help but roll his eyes.
Lift the sign in your hand upwards.
"No. 311 raises the price by one thousand!"
In the end, the five cards were auctioned off with the lowest price being 17,000 and the highest price being 21,000.
Several people knew the one who was not photographed, and asked him why he took the photo.
He laughed dryly, "She knows the Chen family leader, so she thought the auction items should be good. So when she saw no one was bidding, she thought about whether she could pick up a bargain. Even if it doesn't work, it would be good if she could use it to talk to the Chen family leader. I didn't expect that I wouldn't even get a chance to pick up a bargain."
If I shoot again, it will be 22,000.
Twenty-two thousand was a bit too much pressure for his small shop, so he chose to quit.
He was confused. It was fine if the Chen clan leader was bidding, but why were the other two families also bidding? There were also two strangers who looked like casual cultivators bidding. Could it be that this hand card could really buy anything? If that was the case, then should he hold out a little longer?
For a moment he felt a little regretful and sighed.
Xie Manqing took the cards and took a closer look. She didn't feel the same feeling as her brother Ziyi said. In her eyes, it was just an ordinary card, so she put it into the storage bag.
"What's so good about a hand of cards?" Ying Liangzhi's voice came from the side, but Xie Manqing was too lazy to pay attention and didn't even reply.
The second item for auction came up.
"This auction item is provided by Shang Taoyue of Taoyue Store in Jinghong Street. It is a pair of fifth-grade Rongling Pills. If two people below the Jindan level take the Rongling Pills at the same time, their spiritual energy can be temporarily fused. The starting price is two thousand spirit stones, one hundred and one plus."
In the end, the Rongling Pill was sold at a price of two thousand seven hundred.
The third and fourth items for auction were also not too rare.
This is understandable. After all, the purpose of this auction is to allow the major stores in Youling City to have friendly exchanges, so naturally they will not take out their own store's most valuable items.
Soon the sixth item was auctioned.
At this time, everyone had lost interest and began to whisper and talk to each other.
Seeing this, Xia Qin remained calm and smiled.
The sixth item came up for auction, but when the cloth was lifted, everyone saw only a jade slip.
Could it be some kind of martial arts technique? This actually aroused some people's interest.
"The provider of the sixth auction item cannot be disclosed for the time being due to the provider's requirements. It is a recipe for drawing a talisman. The talisman is called: Purple Phoenix Holy Talisman."
"Purple Phoenix Sacred Talisman, what is that?"
"I know the Purple Phoenix, an ancient mythical bird. Hearing the name, can I summon the Purple Phoenix?"
