Chapter 343 Ancient Gold Box



"Oh my god, who is so cruel to take down someone's toilet?" After seeing clearly what the auction item was, Sun Wuxi laughed out loud.

Li Xiu also figured out what it was. It turned out to be a golden toilet. The water tank and the toilet body seemed to be made entirely of gold.

The flush buttons are one red and one blue, apparently a ruby ​​and a sapphire.

Judging from the size of the gem, it is conservatively estimated to be around 20 to 30 carats.

"Everyone, this is a golden toilet shipped out from the City Lord's Mansion in the Golden City. There is a ruby ​​and a sapphire on the toilet. However, the things from the Demon Kingdom may be a little different from ours, so whether the value can be calculated according to the equivalent amount of gold and gems on Earth depends on personal opinion. One golden toilet from the Golden City, the starting price is 10 million Longevity Coins, and the bidding begins now." After the auctioneer announced the starting price, the auction officially began.

If you spend 10 million to buy a toilet made of pure gold inlaid with rubies and sapphires, you won’t lose much if you just dismantle the materials, and you may even make a big profit.

But according to what the auctioneer said, the gold used in the golden toilet may not be equal to the value of gold on Earth, and the gems may also have problems.

So everyone was a little hesitant for a moment and no one made a bid.

"Does the gold used in toilets also have the function of shielding the light energy of gemstones? Do the gemstones themselves contain light energy?" A middle-aged man couldn't help but ask.

The auctioneer smiled and said, "Master Liu, you should be familiar with the rules of the Magic Treasure Auction. The items are here, you can look at them at will. As for whether they are valuable or not, you have to judge for yourself."

It seemed that the Liu family's patriarch already knew that it was useless to ask, so some people who were interested in the golden toilet walked to the side of the round table and observed the golden toilet carefully.

Li Xiu also walked closer to look at the golden toilet. He originally thought that the rubies and sapphires inlaid on the button should be the ones that made him feel hungry, but after observing it carefully from a close distance, he found that it was not the case. He did not feel anything after looking at the two gems.

He didn't know where the thing that really made him feel hungry was, but it must be on the toilet.

"It's strange. Ever since the young demon spirit parasitized my body, it has only been interested in gems. Now it has changed its personality and is actually interested in the golden toilet." Li Xiu felt depressed.

Although he doesn't need to swallow the gem now, he only needs to drip blood on things that make him feel hungry, but those substances will still be absorbed into his body eventually. It still feels a bit awkward to suck a toilet into his body and make a circle inside his body.

"One hundred and five hundred thousand." Someone made a bid. Li Xiu looked over and found that the person who made the bid was an elder.

Li Xiu was not very familiar with the elders. He had only met a few such as Lao Dao. Recently, Changshengtian appointed some new elders, so Li Xiu didn't know them even more.

"That is the new tenth elder, Liu He. Although the Liu family is not a big family in Changshengtian, they are very good at doing business. The family strength can only be considered average, but the family is very rich. The Liu family's financial ability played an indispensable role in Liu He's election as an elder." Seeing that Li Xiu did not know the tenth elder, Wan Chaoxin whispered about the origins of Liu He and the Liu family.

"No wonder." Li Xiu nodded.

"This kind of thing is not very practical. Only the wealthy Liu family likes it." Sun Wuxi said with a sneer.

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Li Xiu next to him holding up a sign, and was suddenly stunned.

"Eleven million...General Manager Li bid eleven million...Is there a higher price..." the auctioneer shouted excitedly.

"Twelve million." Liu He obviously had no intention of giving up and continued to raise the price.

Li Xiu raised the sign again, but he only raised the lowest price of 500,000.

Liu He seemed determined to get the golden toilet. As soon as Li Xiu raised the sign, he directly raised the price to 14 million.

Apart from Li Xiu and Liu He, no one else bid for this golden toilet.

Firstly, no one knows whether the golden toilet has any value. Secondly, the price of the golden toilet is not low. Before the auction result of the ancient gold box of the Demon Kingdom in Tiantong City is determined, the bosses are unwilling to waste so much money so as not to affect the subsequent auction of the ancient gold box of the Demon Kingdom.

Li Xiu added another 500,000, and Liu He increased it to 17 million without blinking an eye.

Li Xiu frowned slightly. Although he knew that there might be magic gems inside the golden toilet, the magic spirits produced by magic gems are also of good and bad quality. What if the magic spirits produced by the magic gems are of ordinary quality, and the golden toilet itself is not very valuable, then 17 million would be too high.

"Seventeen million... Seventeen million... Is there anyone else who wants to bid?" the auctioneer shouted, but his eyes were always on Li Xiu.

Li Xiu thought about it and decided to give up. With 17 million immortality coins, he could easily use the money to buy a high-quality magic spirit. There was no need to rob it.

"Seventeen and a half million." Unexpectedly, Han Minghui suddenly called out a price.

Liu He looked at Han Minghui, hesitated for a moment, and did not raise the price any further.

Li Xiu also looked at Han Minghui and felt that the vice president was a little abnormal today. He didn't know what she was trying to do.

Finally, Han Minghui bought the golden toilet for 17.5 million. When she went to receive the golden toilet, she smiled at Li Xiu.

Li Xiu had no interest in the following items. As he watched the strange things being auctioned off, he just watched and did not make any more bids.

However, Sun Wuxi, who was next to me, shot several things. Although the value of each one was not high, when added together, he spent tens of millions.

Finally, it was the turn of the Demonic Kingdom’s Ancient Gold Box to be auctioned. It was said that there were five Demonic Kingdom’s Ancient Gold Boxes being auctioned this time.

Two of them are the ancient gold boxes from the Demon Kingdom in Tiantong City provided by Han Minghui, and the other three are the ancient gold boxes from the Demon Kingdom taken out from the city treasury.

The five ancient gold chests from the Demon Kingdom were auctioned separately. The first ancient gold chest from the Demon Kingdom that was brought up was the ancient gold chest from the Demon Kingdom in Tiantong City provided by Han Minghui.

Li Xiu has always been curious about what the ancient gold box of the Demon Kingdom looks like. Now he finally sees it. It is a cubic box with a side length of about one meter. It is golden all over, but that color is definitely not gold. It is somewhat similar to the color of red copper.

There are many strange patterns on the box. They don’t look like patterns, nor like symbols. Instead, they look like geometric patterns overlapping with each other in a certain pattern.

Li Xiu looked for a while, but did not see a lock on the ancient gold box, nor did he see where to open the box.

"The ancient gold chest of the Demonic Kingdom found in the vault of Tiantong City has a starting price of 8 million. Each bid must not be less than 100,000. You can start bidding."

To Li Xiu's surprise, the reserve price of the Demon Country's ancient gold box was lower than that of the golden toilet, and the golden toilet required at least 500,000 each time, but this one only required 100,000.

"The Demon Country's Ancient Gold Chest involves too much gambling. Unlike a golden toilet, at least you can tell it's made of a material close to gold. So generally speaking, the reserve price for the Demon Country's Ancient Gold Chest won't be too good. The highest reserve price for the Demon Country's Ancient Gold Chest that was auctioned before was no more than five million. This time the reserve price can be raised to eight million because this ancient gold chest comes from Tiantong City." Sun Wuxi explained.

While Sun Wuxi was explaining, some people had already started holding up signs.

The previous auctions were not very intense, but now they suddenly became intense, with people raising their hands everywhere. The price soared to 100 million in just over ten minutes.

Sun Wuxi smacked his lips and said, "These people are really willing to spend a lot of money."

"Although Tiantong City is the city of princesses, this ancient gold box from the Demon Kingdom may not necessarily contain something valuable. How can they be so sure?" Li Xiu said with some confusion.

"Fourth Master, so you didn't know yet?" Wan Chaoxin looked at Li Xiu puzzledly.

"Know what?" Li Xiu asked puzzledly.

"These ancient gold boxes of the Demon Kingdom in Tiantong City were said to be obtained from the city's treasury. In fact, the treasury was right below the princess's boudoir. There were a total of six boxes of ancient gold boxes brought back from there. There were three people who went there at the time, and each of them got two boxes. In addition to the two boxes in Vice President Han's hands, the other four boxes have been opened one after another in recent years, and valuable items were found in them. Conservatively estimated, the items in the least valuable ancient gold box can be sold for hundreds of millions."

"I see." Li Xiu then understood why these people were willing to gamble so heavily. It turned out there had been a precedent.

"Among the four ancient gold boxes, the most valuable item found was a demon egg. It is said that it hatched a god-level demon larva." Wan Chaoxin continued.

"Why is it said?" Li Xiu felt that Wan Chaoxin used this word very subtly.

"Because no one has ever seen the demon baby, the ancient gold box of the demon country finally fell into the hands of someone outside. I heard that this is what happened."

"Someone outside? Who is it?" Li Xiu asked in surprise.

“I heard that it was someone from the Xiao family of the Disha Group, but I only heard about it. I’m not clear about the specific situation. After all, I haven’t seen the divine demon cub with my own eyes.” Wan Chaoxin pondered.

The auction was still very intense. The price had been bid up to 130 million, and there were still several people bidding.

Although Li Xiu could afford so much money, he had no intention of gambling, so he just watched from the side and did not make any bid.

By the time the amount reached 150 million, there were fewer people holding up signs, with only three people still competing.

One is Liu He, who had previously competed with Li Xiu for the golden toilet, another is an immortal old man, and the last one is a member of the Li family.

"Fourth Master, aren't you going to make a bid?" Wan Chaoxin asked with some confusion when he saw that Li Xiu had not made a bid.

"I originally planned to make an offer, but the price was too high, so I gave up." Li Xiu said, spreading his hands.

"Since the Fourth Master has given up, I'll give it a try." Upon hearing this, Wan Chaoxin raised the sign in his hand and joined the bidding team.

In the end, the ancient gold box in Tiantong City was bought by the determined Liu He for 179 million yuan, and Wan Chaoxin returned empty-handed.

After Liu He came on stage, he did not take the Demon Country Ancient Gold Box away directly, but said with a smile: "I think everyone is very curious about what can be found in this ancient gold box in Tiantong City, so I will open it now, and please be a witness together."

"Hey, what is that old guy Liuhe doing? He actually wants to open a box here? Isn't he afraid that if he opens something good, someone will covet it?" Sun Wuxi frowned.

Liu He's next words let Sun Wuxi know why he was so confident in showing it.

"No matter what is found in the ancient gold box, I am willing to sell it. Anyone interested can contact me privately." Liu He said, and asked his trusted confidant beside him to open the box directly.

It was the first time for Li Xiu to see someone opening an ancient gold box, and he couldn't help but watch carefully how the person opened the ancient gold box.

The man from the Liu family walked to the ancient gold box and pressed the pattern on the top of the box.

As the strength in his hands increased, the pattern slowly sank, and then the strange patterns on the ancient gold box cracked, and various gears and parts could be seen operating inside the box. The whole box was like a blooming flower, opening and peeling off layer by layer. The peeled off parts immediately scattered into particles like broken tempered glass, and soon fell to the ground.

Li Xiu finally understood why everyone was so confident. They were not afraid that someone had opened the ancient gold box. This thing would be destroyed once opened and it would be impossible to restore it.

As the boxes were opened layer by layer, the space inside was finally revealed, which was filled with many things.

When everyone saw what was stuffed inside, they were all stunned.

Liu He's eyes widened even more. After a moment, he pounced on it like a madman and pulled out everything in there, wanting to see if there was anything else underneath.

So many big shots in Changshengtian looked at Liuhe with strange expressions as she was stripping around. Bikinis were thrown everywhere, in all kinds of colorful colors.

Liu He was so excited that he threw a black lace panties on the face of a member of the Liu family next to him, making the member of the Liu family very embarrassed, but they did not dare to say anything to their own head of the family.

Liu He, who had turned everything inside upside down, felt a little numb. He stood there in a daze, looking at the bikinis all over the floor.

The entire ancient gold box was filled with bikinis of various styles and nothing else.

Liuhe spent 179 million to buy a box of bikinis, and people are a little dumbfounded now.

Sun Wuxi, who was next to Li Xiu, had a very strange expression on his face, and it seemed that he was trying hard not to laugh. If he laughed at this moment, he would seriously offend the Liu family.

"I'm sorry to have embarrassed you all." Liu He was stunned for a long time and gave a bitter smile. He turned around and left. He left the bikinis to the servants to deal with. He didn't even want to look at them. He would feel more uncomfortable if he looked at them for one more time.

"It was a close call. I didn't buy the ancient gold box." Wan Chaoxin's face wasn't looking good either. He almost bought it. Fortunately, Liu He was strong enough, otherwise he would have spent nearly 200 million to buy a box of bikinis and brought it back. He really didn't know how to face his family.

"Liu He has suffered a big loss this time." The old man shook his head and smiled bitterly.

"The one who feels the most uncomfortable should be Vice President Han. Look at her face, it's not looking good." Sun Wuxi laughed.

Li Xiu looked over and saw Han Minghui on the other side with a blank expression. Although there was nothing special on her face, she probably felt bad inside.

She still had an ancient gold box that hadn't been auctioned off. After what Liu He did, it would be difficult to sell the next ancient gold box at such a high price.

The auctioneer did not expect such a result. He originally thought that even if there was a small loss, it would not be too much. After all, the four ancient gold boxes that came out of Tiantong City before all produced valuable things. Who could have thought that this would be the case.

The auctioneer walked up to Han Minghui and whispered a few words, as if he was discussing something with Han Minghui.

Although I couldn't hear what they said, I could probably guess that they were asking Han Minghui whether she wanted to bid for the second ancient gold box. If she continued bidding now, she might not get a high price.

Soon, the auctioneer came back and announced that the auction would continue, and the second ancient gold box from Tiantong City was brought up.

"It seems that Han Minghui's funds are really tight recently. She still wants to continue bidding even in this situation. The auction price this time is estimated to be much lower than the previous one." Sun Wuxi said in a low voice.

The auction continued, and the reserve price announced by the auctioneer was still eight million. Just like the previous ancient gold box, the reserve price had to be increased by at least one hundred thousand each time.

However, after the auction started this time, no one made a bid for a long time, apparently because they were scared by the bikinis in the previous box.

"Eight million and one hundred thousand." Li Xiu raised the sign.

Everyone looked towards Li Xiu, and soon someone raised a sign, raising the price to 8.2 million.

Li Xiu took a look at the man and saw that the person who made the bid was actually from the Li family.

Li Xiu raised his sign again and added another 100,000. The man from the Li family kept on asking for more. Every time Li Xiu raised the price, he also raised the price. After several rounds, the price reached more than 9 million. It still did not break through 10 million. However, the man from the Li family had no intention of giving up.

Li Xiu remained calm and raised the sign to increase the price to 12 million.

The man from the Li family actually raised the price without hesitation, but he only increased it by 100,000.

But this time, before Li Xiu could raise the price again, other people had already raised their signs to raise the price, and several more people joined the fight.

As more and more people joined in, the price soon exceeded 30 million, and the price is still increasing. It is estimated that it will soon exceed 50 million.

"Fourth Master, something is wrong." Wan Chaoxin leaned close to Li Xiu's ear and whispered.

"What's wrong?" Li Xiu asked.

"There's something wrong with that Li family man." Wan Chaoxin glanced at the man from the Li family and whispered again, "Because of the last incident, the Li family suffered a big blow, and now they are very cautious in their actions and style. Logically, if you, the Fourth Master, were in your prime, and the Li family was in this situation, they wouldn't provoke you in such a matter, but he was the first one to jump out and compete with you. The way he raised the price is quite interesting. I think there might be something wrong with it."

After a pause, Wan Chaoxin looked at Han Minghui, who was sitting on the other side with an expressionless face, and said, "When the last ancient gold box was auctioned, it was also him who was bidding against Liu He and the others. Now it's him again. Don't you think this is a little abnormal?"

"Are you saying that the Li family might be Han Minghui's agent? This is unlikely. I remember that Han Minghui played a huge role in Li Changyin's disastrous defeat. Can the Li family swallow this?" Li Xiu understood Wan Chaoxin's meaning.

"I noticed that during the last bidding, the man from the Li family glanced at Han Minghui intentionally or unintentionally several times in the final stage. Han Minghui did not participate in the auction, so why did he look at Han Minghui?" Wan Chaoxin said.

"Is that so?" Li Xiu narrowed his eyes and looked at Han Minghui. Han Minghui seemed to sense his gaze, turned her head and looked at him, revealing a charming smile.
