The scene at the auction.
On stage.
The auctioneer's highly persuasive words resonated throughout the room.
"Next up for auction is the Hetu Luoshu, a priceless ancient book of the Great Xia Dynasty. It is said to contain the secrets to immortality. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, so don't miss it. The starting bid is twenty million US dollars..."
On the glass display case next to him, there was a yellowed booklet, tattered and incomplete; it was probably a unique copy.
It is not the Hetu and Luoshu that are passed down in the mortal world, but the ancient ones that have been passed down for so long that their authenticity is unknown.
It records the secrets of the cultivation world and the profound principles of cosmic phenomena.
The longer something has been passed down, the more mysterious it becomes, perhaps even containing secrets about becoming an immortal.
The Book of Changes, Appendix I, states, "The Yellow River produced a map, and the Luo River produced a book."
The river in question refers to the ancient Yellow River, not the Yellow River as we know it today.
The ancient course of the Yellow River is said to have nine bends.
Luo, the Luo River.
"I have thirty million US dollars."
Thirty-five million US dollars.
"Thirty-eight million US dollars..."
Soon, the value of this thin booklet soared to two hundred million US dollars.
Among them were many ambitious individuals from the Great Xia Dynasty who wanted to bid for it.
Even if I can't cultivate into an immortal, I still want to photograph the treasures left by our ancestors and send them back to China.
No era lacks patriots like this.
However, the price is simply too high, and many people are deterred from buying it, unable to afford it despite their desire.
“I will offer 210 million US dollars. This is a treasure of our Great Xia. It cannot be lost overseas. We must bring it back.”
Unexpectedly, Lin Yunxiao also started bidding.
He clenched his fists, and a look of excitement flashed in his deep eyes.
Unlike the previous Lin Baojian and Lin Chuixiao.
This person has a patriotic heart.
This price has already deterred many competitors.
Furthermore, the auction is only halfway through, and there will definitely be a grand finale of treasures at the end.
There's no need to waste all your bullets here.
"Hmph, two hundred and twenty million US dollars."
A Black American tycoon immediately raised a sign, his eyes filled with disdain.
Lin Yunxiao gritted his teeth.
"Two hundred and twenty-five million US dollars."
The other party immediately followed up with another bid.
"Two hundred and thirty million US dollars."
No matter how much Lin Yunxiao bid, the black tycoon always offered ten million US dollars more.
Beside him, the protector whispered.
"Young Master, forget it. You've already bid on five clan artifacts, fulfilling your duty as a citizen."
To bring back the clan artifact, the Lin family spared no expense, spending a total of nearly 800 million US dollars.
In reality, many clan artifacts have long since lost their spiritual energy due to their age, rendering them useless for cultivation.
But it symbolizes the dignity of the nation.
Ultimately, the Hetu Luoshu was auctioned off to that black tycoon for 280 million US dollars.
Next.
Lin Yunxiao repeatedly competed with black tycoons in bidding for clan artifacts, but lost every time, which made him very indignant.
This black man is clearly causing trouble.
However, in terms of financial resources, they cannot compare with others, so what can they do?
The Black tycoon comes from the Byrne family, which is extremely wealthy and ranks among the top large conglomerates in the world.
"You yellow-skinned monkey, you're far from being able to compete with me."
The black tycoon gave Lin Yunxiao the middle finger with disdain.
"If you want to win, why don't you have your mother come and keep me company for one night? I'll take extra care of you, my cheap son, haha."
This caused a burst of laughter from the audience.
Even the auctioneer on stage temporarily stopped the auction and leisurely watched the excitement.
"This is outrageous!"
"That's right, it's too much. Can't you watch your words?"
"How can you talk like that? We, the warriors of Great Xia, are not to be trifled with."
"Apologize immediately."
"That's right, apologize."
The warriors of Great Xia present were relatively united, collectively denouncing the Bourne family, a black financial tycoon.
The black tycoon shrugged at Lin Yunxiao and said with a grin.
"Fine, let your mother come and lick your boots, and I'll apologize."
"court death!"
Enraged, Lin Yunxiao charged toward the black tycoon like lightning.
The protectors behind him tried to stop him, but it was too late.
The Childe family's auction.
Fighting is prohibited, and the black tycoon is clearly trying to provoke Lin Yunxiao.
Before Lin Yunxiao's sword could even reach him, a one-armed old man suddenly appeared from behind the black tycoon and severely injured Lin Yunxiao with a single palm strike.
This is an ancient Indian yoga master, dressed in tattered linen clothes, with sunken eyes, a high nose bridge, thin and short, looking less than 1.5 meters tall, with all his teeth missing and his head bald.
His skin was dark and rough, like that of an old farmer in the fields; no one would have guessed that he was actually a top-notch master.
Lin Yunxiao screamed in agony as the sword in his hand snapped in two.
He was sent flying backwards like a kite with a broken string, his meridians all over his body broken.
Large sections of tables, chairs, and benches were knocked over, and the auction hall doors were smashed open, with debris flying everywhere.
He crippled one of the Lin family's prodigies with a single move.
"Ninth Rank Martial King!"
At the auction, gasps of surprise rippled through the crowd, their eyes filled with fear as they looked at the Indian expert.
Finally, someone recognized the person.
"This is Han Gu, ranked eleventh in the world's top 500 assassins. He is known as the One-Armed Old Demon and kills without blinking an eye."
"He once single-handedly annihilated a small country, causing rivers of blood to flow."
