The auction was held as scheduled, and the entire Demon Sea City was even more lively.
The streets were crowded with people, making it difficult to move.
Su Jinyue and the other two followed the crowd to the auction and handed the two jade tokens to the clerk at the door who was checking them. They had originally wanted to bring the Ye brothers and sisters with them, but after obtaining the new skills, the Ye brothers and sisters became obsessed with practicing.
The clerk took the jade token and first looked at Su Jinyue and the other two with a hint of doubt in his heart. These three people didn't look like they could possess jade tokens, and their cultivation was so low.
He looked at the jade token in his hand and carefully examined it. But the jade token was real. He didn't know where they got it from. The most incredible thing was that this jade token was from the private room.
Handing the jade token back to Su Jinyue, the waiter smiled warmly and said, "Three of you are in box number six. After you go in, please go up to the second floor. It's the third room on the right side of the second floor." Perhaps the people opposite are from a certain family or sect, and they just don't want to attract too much attention, so they deliberately disguise themselves like this.
When Su Jinyue and the other two walked into the auction hall, they saw that the hall was already full of people, all discussing some of the items that would be auctioned today. Those who had the auction jade card would receive an introduction to the auction items.
The three of them came to Box No. 6 on the second floor, pushed the door open and entered. They saw that the interior was decorated very luxuriously and there was also a formation to block spiritual consciousness to prevent the identity of the guests from being revealed.
I sat down on the sofa. The view here was very good and I could see everything downstairs clearly.
"This private room is pretty good." Tian Fengxun smiled as he picked up the spiritual fruit on the table and put one in his mouth. He had participated in a few auctions in Tianyue Continent, and with Dancheng's status, he naturally had his own private room.
Zhan Yihan picked up a spiritual fruit and handed it to Su Jinyue's lips. Su Jinyue smiled sweetly, opened her mouth to take the spiritual fruit, and also reached out to pick up a spiritual fruit and put it into Zhan Yihan's mouth.
Tian Fengxun rolled his eyes speechlessly and turned to look around the box. He really hoped that Lord Beicheng would hurry up so that he wouldn't feel so dazzling.
"Xia Moli is here." Su Jinyue saw Xia Moli and the Xia family members walk in, and then walked towards the private room on the second floor. The Xia family is one of the three major families in Mo'e City, so it is normal for them to have their own private room.
Seeing Xia Moli walk into the box opposite, Su Jinyue smiled and looked away.
After waiting for less than a quarter of an hour, a charming and seductive woman in a red dress slowly walked onto the auction platform.
The woman glanced around at everyone and smiled charmingly, "Welcome everyone to the Demon Sea City Auction. I'm Hong Ling, and I'll be hosting the auction today."
"It is truly an honor for us to be able to see Miss Hong Ling's elegance."
"Ms. Hong Ling is indeed one of the three great auctioneers. Seeing her is worth the trip."
"If I could drink and chat happily with Miss Hong Ling, it would be a great blessing. I wonder if Miss Hong Ling would be willing to do me the honor."
Hong Ling glanced at everyone coquettishly, revealing a dazzling smile. "Thank you all for your kindness to Hong Ling, but the most important thing for us now is the auction. Now, please bring in our first lot of the day."
While Hong Ling was speaking, a young woman in a white dress came up carrying a tray covered with a red cloth.
Hong Ling glanced at the audience, raised her delicate hand, and lifted the red cloth on the tray. "Our first lot today is a copper bell. It's said to be extremely powerful and an ancient magical weapon. If you're interested, don't miss it. The starting price is 100,000 magic stones, and each bid must be no less than 1,000 magic stones."
"I'll offer one hundred and one thousand magic stones." Someone in the audience immediately quoted a price.
After that person quoted a price, everything around him was quiet and no one followed suit.
Su Jinyue and the other two looked at everyone in the hall in confusion, and then looked at the copper bell on the auction table. The copper bell was covered with rust and faintly purple, and it did not look like a magic weapon at all.
Just as I was wondering, I heard people in the hall talking.
"The person who made the bid definitely didn't know about this bell. Someone else had bought this bell before, but only realized after buying it that it wasn't a magical instrument at all, it was just an ordinary bell."
"I've heard about this as well. Later, the cultivator approached the auction house and demanded to return the bell. The auction house refused, so he approached the city lord to intervene. Finally, the auction house reluctantly took the bell back."
"That person will definitely regret it after taking the photo of the bell."
Seeing no one bid again, Hong Ling smiled and said slowly, "This bronze bell was found by a cultivator in an ancient ruin. Everything else in the ruins has decayed due to age, but this bell is the only one that remains intact. Since it's a treasure left behind by the ancients, it's not something anyone can casually contract. It requires luck. Buying it back is like having another chance, so don't miss it."
"I'll offer 120,000 magic stones." After Hong Ling's explanation, someone was immediately interested.
"One hundred and twenty-one thousand."
"One hundred and twenty-two thousand."
"One hundred and twenty-three thousand..."
"..." Those who could obtain the jade token at the auction were not short of money. Hong Ling was right. How could you obtain an ancient treasure just by talking about it? It required luck. If they bought it, it would be another chance. How could they miss it?
Zhan Yihan looked at the copper bell. When he saw it, he was attracted to it. The feeling this copper bell gave him was just like when he first saw the Xuanyuan Sword.
"Fifteen thousand magic stones." Su Jinyue saw that Zhan Yihan was very interested in the copper bell, so she called out the price.
Zhan Yihan looked at Su Jinyue and asked, "Do you also think this copper bell is very special?"
Su Jinyue shook her head and smiled, "Because you like it."
Zhan Yihan raised his lips and smiled, "Then I'll wait for you to take a picture and give it to me."
"Yeah." Su Jinyue nodded with a smile.
Seeing that someone in the box was also bidding, more and more people came to bid below the stage, and soon the price of the copper bell soared to 500,000.
Hong Ling looked at the people vying for bids, a happy smile on her face. She had been promised that if she could sell the bell, the commission would be hers.
"One million!" Su Jinyue said lazily. After all, those magic stones were just found, and they wouldn't be needed once they left the Demonic Continent.
Everyone looked towards Su Jinyue and their private room, some were shocked, some were envious, some were jealous, some were mocking...
"There are so many rich people who are so stupid. They spent a million to buy a broken copper bell, and then they regretted it the moment they got it back."
"To spend a million magic stones for a false opportunity, you must be crazy."
