Chapter 234: Chapter Two Hundred and Thirty: Auction (3)

Translator: 549690339 |

The price of the Xuanji Jade finally started to slow down after reaching thirteen million, but the people on the first floor persistently raised their bids by fifty thousand each time, causing everyones heart to race.

If someone really spends over ten million on a Xuanji Jade, theyll probably get beaten to death, Tang Luo watched the auction, sympathizing with the flushed bidders.

Meanwhile, seeing the Ten Kilometer Mysteries Jade fetch over ten million in Xiling, Xu Lao Ying regretful hit his own knee.

If I had taken out a few pieces of Ten Kilometer Mysteries Jade when leaving the Xu Clan, I wouldnt have to worry about money now, the Saint-Child thought to himself.bender

Xu Shuhui, seeing her nephews regret and her sons shock, thought they were astounded by the high price of the Xuanji Jade. She asked with a tender smile, Lao Ying, do you want this jade?

Looking up at his aunt and hearing that the bid for the Xuanji Jade had already reached thirteen million and seventy thousand, Xu Lao Yings mouth twitched and he quickly replied, I cant afford it, I cant afford it.

Only a fool would spend over ten million on a Ten Kilometer Mysteries Jade!

But to Xu Shuhui, his responses meant he did want it, but just couldn t afford

it.

If I can get this Xuanji Jade for Lao Ying, hed be so happy, Xu Shuhui thought with a gentle smile, extending two long fingers at the steward standing by her side.

The guest on the second floor bids twenty million gold coins!

The bustling first floor became silent in an instant.

A strawberry slipped from Tang Luos hand, he stared in disbelief at his mother.

Similarly, Xu Lao Yings face stiffened with utter astonishment.

The two brothers looked at each other in horror, scarcely believing their ears.

Just a moment ago, they were looking down at the people below with satisfaction, and now they had become the biggest fools.

At the same time, the poised and graceful Xu Shuhui gave Xu Lao Ying a doting smile, as if the bid just now was nothing to her.

After a brief silence, the auction hall erupted in fervent discussions.

Most small and medium-sized families could barely afford twenty million, and by the look of the momentum from the second floor, they had no chance of winning. So, for a moment, no one dared to bid again at the noisy auction.

Does anyone offer more than twenty million gold?

Twenty million gold for the first time!

Twenty million gold for the second time!

Bang, sold for twenty million gold! Congratulations to the distinguished guest on the second floor on your new Xuanji Jade.

Xiao Zheng was immensely satisfied with the sky-high price fetched by the piece of Xuanji Jade.

Under the complicated gaze of everyone, the bewitching young lady on stage was escorted by two warriors from the Fierce Realm, walking gracefully towards the second-floor aisle.

The Ten Kilometer Mysteries Jade worth twenty million was placed in a jade tray and carried to the second floor by the young lady, right in front of Tang Luo and the others.

Xu Shuhui picked up the jade from the tray with a sunny smile and praised,

Its so beautiful.

Seeing his mother spend twenty million without any hesitation, Tang Luo reassessed his familys wealth. But winning the outbid by tenfold didnt make him happy at all.

So, he could only echo soullessly, Yes, yes its beautiful. Its not bad for mom to have a Xuanji Jade, he comforted himself.

But then Xu Shuhui placed the Xuanji Jade in the stupefied Xu Lao Yings hand,

Here, this is a gift from Auntie.

Hisss  The sudden gift was overwhelmingly breathtaking. Xu Lao Ying

drew in a sharp breath, the Xuanji Jade felt like a hot iron in his hands. He transferred it from his left hand to the right, then back to the left, completely bewildered.

Watching her nephew who couldnt get enough of the Xuanji Jade, Xu Shuhui gave a soft laugh and cast her gaze back to the stage, waiting for the second auction.

Tang Luo, seeing Xu Lao Ying handling the Xuanji Jade with a strange look, shookhis head helplessly, sat down by his side and whispered, Will you use it?

No use at all. Xu Lao Ying responded gloomily. Regardless of whether anyone would force him to use the Xuanji Jade, his manipulation skills far surpassed this piece. So he had no idea how to deal with this twenty-million-worth Xuanji Jade.

This was the first time the Saint-Child had received such a hot potato as a gift. Keep it as a memory. After all, a Xuanji Jade worth twenty million is not common, Tang Luo gave a wry smile and patted Xu Lao Ying on the shoulder, considering it as a gift from the elders.

Leaving aside the confused young men, the confident Xiao Zheng continued the auction.

The previous item sold for a whopping twenty million, which undoubtedly boosted his confidence. He believed that the second item could definitely arouse everyones passion because it was a South Pole Rock weighing a thousand pounds.

Originally thinking that the second item could ignite peoples eagerness to snatch again, the crowd oddly remained silent. After a few negligible raises, a mid-sized family obtained it.

Meanwhile, in the VIP room, Xu Lao Ying, seeing the South Pole Rock sold, turned to Tang Luo in disbelief, Would someone spend over ten million on a Xuanji Jade but only half a million on a South Pole Rock that could make two sets of armors?

Tang Luo shrugged and explained, Xiling has been peaceful for hundreds of years. Many families dont have a metallurgy department, so its normal for such raw materials not to fetch a high price.

Xiling really is a peculiar place. Xu Lao Ying looked at the Xuanji Jade in his hand, then at the gigantic South Pole Rock on the stage and sighed.

The thousand-pound South Pole Rock sold only for five hundred thousand gold, far below Xiao Zhengs expectations. He figured the patrons were probably still recovering from the fight over the Xuanji Jade.

For an excellent auctioneer, when he detects a drop in the bidding enthusiasm, its his time to control the tempo.

Using several items of little practical value to stimulate the customers thirst, then showcase an eye-catching item to arouse their buying desire, thats the trick to controlling the pace in an auction.

Xiao Zheng signaled the steward to bring out the reserve items to adjust the tempo. A swaying female figure emerged from behind the curtain, holding a zitan wooden box, and placed it on the table in front of Gong Zheng.

Ladies and gentlemen, the third item tonight is a piece of jade of unknown origin. Xiao Zheng carefully placed the box in front of him and addressed the crowd.

I consider myself quite knowledgeable about the worlds rarities, but I have never seen this kind of jade before. I do ask for your discerning eyes. These words successfully aroused the curiosity of the crowd. The Xiao family has a deep foundation, and Xiao Zheng is the leader of their merchant group. Even he hasnt seen this jade before, so how exotic could it be?

Xiao Zheng opened the box, a milky white beam of light burst out from inside, making everyone even more curious about the content. Even Tang Luo and Xu Lao Ying turned their heads for a closer look.

Under the curious gazes of the audience, Xiao Zheng removed the item from the box and held it high up, as if he was holding up a milky white moon. Everyone then saw clearly that the milky white light emanated from a round jade stone with clouds and bats carved on it. There was a prominent Han character in the middle, embraced by clouds and bats..
