Chapter 309 A Stone
She sat by the window with her chin propped up, her eyes dull and quite bored.
An hour later, after bidding on a pill, the auctioneer smiled and said, "We will take a quarter-hour break and then move on to the second half of our auction. See you soon, everyone."
After the auctioneer left, Mu Ze's eyes were dull. "How boring. How could it be so boring?"
He looked puzzled. Compared with Bei Ming and Long Yue, Bei Ming's overall strength was slightly stronger than Long Yue. How come the auction held once every five years was not even half as interesting as Long Yue's?
Bei Mingyu was fiddling with a spiritual fruit in his hand and glanced at him sideways. "I've said it before, Bei Ming, is very poor."
It is much poorer than Longyue. If something is worth a little money, everyone wants to send it to the richest Empire, Longyue. Who would put it here?
The treasure worth 270 billion was sold for 170 billion!
Luo Li held her chin up and said, "I didn't hear anyone from the Beiming Royal Family bidding in the first half of today."
Bei Mingyu murmured "hmm", "But they should have sent someone here, probably in Room 1 or Room 2."
Luo Li narrowed her eyes and clapped her hands. The receptionist outside immediately opened the door and walked in.
She smiled and said, "Guest, what can I do for you?"
Luo Li tapped her fingertips. "Whose forces are these people in the boxes in front of us?"
The receptionist hesitated for a moment, then recalled the instructions from above and replied, "Those in front are from the royal family, Tianyu Palace, and Cangyanhai."
Luo Li's eyes moved, "Okay, thank you."
The receptionist smiled and said, "You're welcome. If you have no other instructions, I'll take my leave."
Seeing Luo Li nod, she backed out of the box and closed the door.
Bei Mingyu raised his eyebrows slightly and chuckled, "It seems that they really told you everything in order to leave a good impression on you."
Luo Li curled her lips and pressed her solar plexus, "This feels really good."
Song Wanbai chuckled, "Our Xiaoli is indeed loved by everyone."
Mu Ze sighed and shook his head. "Ari's status is truly impressive. If I were the person in charge here, I would definitely do everything in my power to leave a good impression on her. What if I end up leaving this cash cow behind?"
Luo Li raised her hand, looking helpless. "Stop, it's okay for others, but it's a bit weird for you to praise me here."
Mu Ze patted his chest and said, "This is all from our heart."
An Shuxue patted Luo Li on the back and smiled gently, "Ignore them."
Luo Li chuckled, "Okay."
A few people were chatting in the box, and a quarter of an hour passed quickly.
The auctioneer came up again and said, "Excuse me, guests, for waiting. Now, the second half of the auction begins."
He smiled and said, "There are many treasures, guests can look forward to it!"
He also seemed a little excited. "Next, it's our first lot of the second half."
The auctioneer lifted the red cloth on the auction stand, "Lapis Lazuli Mine!"
"The starting price is 100 billion Amethyst coins. Each bid increase must not be less than 5 billion!"
Luo Li rested one arm on the windowsill and looked at the auction table below. "The lapis lazuli ore is indeed a good thing."
A piece of lapis lazuli ore that is half a person's arm tall is considered rare.
The first item in the second half of the auction immediately pushed the atmosphere to a climax.
Bei Mingyu was also a little interested. "This piece of lapis lazuli ore is large enough to be used to refine several offensive weapons. It will definitely cause a lot of competition."
As expected, fierce competition broke out below, and in a moment it soared to 200 billion, surpassing the Emperor's Spiritual Artifact.
Luo Li wasn't very interested and glanced at Bei Mingyu. "Do you like it?"
Bei Mingyu waved his hand, "It's too small."
Luo Li shrugged, "Okay, I'll give you a big one later."
Bei Mingyu raised his eyebrows, "Okay, then I'll wait."
When it reached 200 billion, the speed slowed down and it was finally sold at a price of 250 billion.
The auctioneer had a satisfied smile on his face, but when he thought about the next item to be auctioned, he started to have a headache again.
He lifted the red cloth on the display stand that rose in front of him, and an ordinary black and gray stone appeared before everyone.
There was a moment of silence, and someone whispered, "Are you kidding?"
"A...stone? When did Fengyun become so shabby?"
"Could it be that there's something special about it? We can't see it?"
"What's so special about it? It looks like a very, very ordinary stone."
Mu Ze was also confused. "What is that?! A broken rock?"
Luo Li glanced over calmly, and a flash of doubt flashed in her eyes. She suddenly sat up straight, her eyes fixed on the stone that looked very dull.
The stone was only the size of two palms, and the entire body of the stone was covered with black and gray cracks. It looked like an ordinary stone with a strange shape on the roadside.
Bei Mingyu noticed her gaze and frowned, "Ali, what's wrong?"
Luo Li shook her head and glanced at the others, "Does this stone feel strange to you?"
Song Wanbai felt it carefully, and then said, "There is indeed some, a vague feeling, an indescribable feeling, very subtle."
Bei Mingyu and the others were also confused. "What's that strange feeling? Isn't this just a piece of stone?"
Luo Li's eyes flashed, and she immediately took out the sound transmission stone, "Xiaoxiao?"
Lan Xiaoxiao's somewhat anxious voice came over, "Ali, why does this stone feel so complicated?"
Luo Li tightened the sound transmission stone slightly. As expected, only Lan Xiaoxiao and Song Wanbai, who had activated some ancient bloodlines, could feel the difference of this stone.
But in the eyes of Bei Mingyu and others, it was just an ordinary stone.
Lan Xiaoxiao saw her family members looking at her strangely, smiled awkwardly, and said to Luo Li, "Well, should we take a photo?"
Luo Li hummed, "Don't worry, I'll take a picture and study it later."
Lan Xiaoxiao felt relieved when she said that. In their entire auction house, no one was richer than A Li. "Okay!"
In the box, Lan Qingqing huddled in a corner. Seeing the stone, she was horrified. Then she quickly rushed to Luo Li, "Luo Li! Take it!"
Mu Ze blinked, "That's easy. Even here, we can get it for 100 million."
Luo Li shook her head, "Not necessarily."
At this moment, several people in the Tianzi box had their eyes flash and sat up straight.
Finally, they arrived at the purpose of their trip.
The auctioneer looked a bit embarrassed. He bravely introduced, "This is a treasure brought out from the depths of an ancient ruin by our auction house's adventurers. The starting price is 5 billion Amethyst Coins. Each bid cannot be less than one Amethyst Coin."
