The first item up for auction was a Buddhist artifact.
A rusty iron sword, heavily weathered, clearly eroded over a long period of time.
Magical artifacts are classified into several levels, including spiritual artifacts, treasure artifacts, Dao artifacts, immortal artifacts, and divine artifacts.
The Xuanyuan Sword in Ye Feng's hand is a Dao artifact.
This was given to him by his second master when he came down from Kunlun Mountain.
Although this rusty iron sword is only a low-grade spiritual weapon, it is still very rare on this Earth where spiritual energy is depleted.
Once you buy it, you can ask a weapon refiner to reforge it, and it will become another powerful magical artifact.
As soon as the auctioneer on stage finished his introduction, many people in the audience began bidding.
"Ten million!"
"Eleven million..."
"I'll offer fifteen million."
Finally, this ritual artifact sold for 20 million, more than double the original auction price.
Ye Feng had absolutely no interest in such low-level magical artifacts.
It meant nothing to him.
Naturally, they wouldn't participate in the auction.
However, the successful first round of bidding successfully enlivened the atmosphere at the auction.
The next few items to be auctioned included not only magical artifacts but also some low-grade medicinal herbs.
Such as Seven Mysterious Herbs, Spiritual Ginseng, Resurrection Leaf, etc.
A single Seven Mystery Grass fetched a high price of 40 million, because once boiled into a medicinal liquid, it was enough to allow a martial artist to break through a small level.
The 40 million was well spent.
However, a whole set of auction items soon appeared, catching Ye Feng's attention.
This set of auction items consists of twelve pieces, each representing a different animal head, which corresponds to the twelve zodiac animals.
On stage, the host began the introduction with an enthusiastic voice.
"Ladies and gentlemen, as you have probably already noticed, the set of auction items beside me is the set of twelve zodiac animal heads from the Great Xia Sky Garden."
"The rarity and value of the twelve zodiac animals is self-evident to everyone here. There is only one set in the world, and its value cannot be described as priceless."
"The client is the Eagle Museum, and the starting bid is 100 billion US dollars."
A hundred billion US dollars is no small sum; that alone shuts out the vast majority of people.
Even so, many people still participated in the auction.
Because the first animal of the twelve zodiac signs, when considered separately, can only be considered an ordinary mid-grade spiritual artifact.
However, once all of them are collected, they will evolve into an extremely powerful Dao artifact.
If a Dao artifact falls into the hands of a peak Martial Emperor, it is enough to rival a Quasi-Martial Emperor.
Its power is comparable to that of the Xuanyuan Sword in Ye Feng's hand.
Therefore, this is definitely a rare treasure.
In the last century, a multinational coalition attacked Beijing, plunging the people into misery.
The Sky Garden was tragically destroyed; the fire burned for seven days and seven nights, turning half the sky red.
Countless magical artifacts and cultural relics were looted by foreign powers, and a considerable portion of them are now displayed in the Eagle Museum.
Each one of them is priceless.
Which one of them doesn't represent the shame of the people of Great Xia?
However, Ye Feng had swept through the Eagle Kingdom many times before, and the flag of Great Xia still flies over the capital of the Eagle Kingdom.
No one dares to pull it out unless they're tired of living.
The Eagle Museum could not be found at that time.
It now appears that the other party intentionally hid the museum.
Right now, the other party knows that he has come to the auction house, but still puts these twelve zodiac animal heads up for auction.
This is clearly a provocation.
And demonstrations against Daxia.
"I'll offer five hundred billion US dollars!"
Suddenly, a Chinese man stood up from his seat and raised his arms in a shout.
Judging from his well-dressed appearance, he must be a very wealthy businessman. He was accompanied by an assistant who was holding a mobile phone and live-streaming the event.
The wealthy businessman spoke passionately to the live stream camera.
"Fellow countrymen, these twelve zodiac animal heads are something passed down from our ancestors of the Great Xia Dynasty. No matter what, I must photograph them today and send them back to the National Museum so that they can return to the embrace of our motherland."
The live stream was filled with cheers.
Many fans have already started showering gifts in the comments section, with all sorts of bullet comments flying around.
"Support Chairman Ren!"
"Chairman Ren has a strong sense of national responsibility, which is admirable."
“I’ll just spend two hundred Carnivals first, as a way of supporting Chairman Ren.”
Five hundred billion US dollars is already an astronomical sum.
At the scene, no one dared to bid anymore.
From the whispers and murmurs of the crowd behind him, Ye Feng learned about the identity of this Director Ren.
It turns out that the other party is the largest financial internet giant in Daxia, and has repeatedly topped the list of richest people in Daxia.
He has repeatedly sponsored the construction of the Great Xia martial arts army with huge sums of money.
He is highly regarded by the Chinese people.
However, in recent years, Mr. Ren has been expanding his business overseas and has rarely returned to China.
As a result, there has been less news about him.
The auctioneer's gavel was about to fall.
Suddenly, a cold voice came from the side.
"Six hundred billion US dollars!"
The one making the bid was none other than Dr. Jones, who sat with his legs crossed in his chair, gently swirling the red wine in his glass, his eyes full of provocation.
The United States is happy to do anything that is detrimental to or disruptive to Great Xia.
Chairman Ren's expression changed.
"Six hundred and ten billion US dollars!"
This price far exceeded his expectations. Even if the deal could be made, the conglomerate would inevitably fall into a financial crisis in the next few years.
