Chapter 25 Broken knife
Chapter 25 Broken knife
"What a keen perception!" Xiang Nan thought to himself, and couldn't help but think a little more highly of that woman.
The first item to be auctioned was a mid-grade spirit weapon. The starting bid was 50,000 gold coins. The buyers on the scene all bid.
The buyers who came to participate in the auction were all wealthy businessmen from the six towns. The upper echelons of the clans were also very generous. This inadvertently increased the pressure on Xiang Nan.
Very quickly, the first weapon fell into the hands of the Mo Clan in Bluestone Town.
The second item was a calligraphy and painting. The starting bid was 50,000 gold coins, which was equivalent to the price of a first-grade medicinal pill.
However, Xiang Nan's attention was not on the auction item. He always felt that there was a pair of eyes that were secretly observing him intentionally or unintentionally.
When he followed that gaze and captured it back, he discovered that it was still the same woman. However, the woman looked elsewhere and dodged in a timely manner.
Xiang Nan became more cautious and began to pay more attention to the woman.
The following auction process was very lively. People often bid up the price to an unbelievable height in order to compete for the same item.
The result of Xiang Nan's secret observation was that the woman was observing the buyers all the time, not knowing what her purpose was.
Finally, the eighth item was actually the second-grade Snow Cicada Grass that Xiang Nan wanted!
The auctioneer smiled at the crowd, "Second Grade Snow Cicada Grass. The starting bid is 30,000 gold coins. Every time the bid is increased, it will start at least 5,000 gold coins."
Hearing this, many buyers were shocked.
The average price of a Tier 2 Spirit Grass was 3,000 gold coins, but this Tier 2 Snow Cicada Grass cost 30,000 gold coins. It was still the starting price!
Thus, the problem arose! Originally, many people didn't know what this Snow Cicada Grass was, but when they heard that its starting bid was so high, they were all curious.
Someone raised his hand on the spot, "Forty thousand."
The auctioneer smiled in that direction. "This buyer is bidding 40,000 yuan. Is there anything higher?"
Xiang Nan frowned and raised his right hand, but did not bid. The auctioneer nodded and pointed in Xiang Nan's direction, "This buyer offers 45,000 gold coins."
In the end, the buyers bid one after another. In just half a cup of tea, the Snow Cicada Grass was actually lifted to 100,000 gold coins!
This was the last thing Xiang Nan wanted to see. This was a vicious circle! Everyone was curious about the unknown, and the more people rushed to buy this mysterious Snow Cicada Grass, the higher the price would be.
Higher prices attract greater curiosity.
"150,000!" Someone shouted loudly. The price was already ridiculously high.
Xiang Nan gritted his teeth and raised his hand again to bid 155,000 yuan.
One hundred and fifty thousand was no longer a small number. It was enough to buy three mid-grade spirit weapons. Many people had given up at this time.
However, there were still more than 20 families in six towns competing!
"Two hundred thousand." Someone made a bid.
Xiang Nan was determined to obtain the Snow Cicada Grass. He couldn't allow everyone to pay such a high price. He had to give them a high enough price to intimidate them.
Thinking of this, Xiang Nan raised his hand in pain and lowered his voice as low and hoarse as possible, "Four hundred thousand."
As soon as the price was announced, the entire arena fell silent.
This time, no one bid again. 400,000 yuan for a second-grade spirit herb, isn't that crazy?
Such an astronomical price was almost enough to buy a Tier 2 Spirit Pill!
After the auctioneer asked the crowd, he saw that no one was bidding and decided on the spot. The Snow Cicada Grass returned to Xiang Nan.
Xiang Nan secretly heaved a sigh of relief.
Under normal circumstances, the Snow Cicada Grass was only worth 40,000 to 50,000 gold coins. However, there was no other way. Who would have thought that there was only such a single plant here?
To be honest, Xiang Nan wasn't interested in the next auction item, so he didn't bid anymore. He just waited for the auction to end before trading.
There were a total of twenty-five items in the auction. After all the items were sold, Xiang Nan was ready to go backstage to trade.
But at this moment, the woman who had been silently standing beside the auctioneer suddenly walked towards the exhibition stand! But also replaced the position of auctioneer.
She took out an item from her storage ring and placed it on the exhibition stand. For the first time, she said, "This is a knife."
Hearing this, the originally orderly scene immediately became restless!
It wasn't because of the knife, but because of the woman's voice!
People often use the sound of nature to describe a person's voice, but what exactly is the sound of nature? I'm afraid no one has really heard of it.
However, if there really was a heavenly voice in the world, then this mysterious woman's voice would definitely be considered one!
Xiang Nan was also shocked by the woman's voice, but his eyes were quickly attracted by the saber.
It was a very strange saber. The length of the blade was three meters, which was considered too long for ordinary people.
The blade was pitch black without any reflection, as if it was carved out of a piece of carbon. There were strange patterns on the blade.
At first glance, this saber was too heavy, too large, and ordinary. It could even be said to be too simple.
However, when Xiang Nan saw the blade, the Lightning Meridian attribute in his body suddenly changed!
"Saber!" Xiang Nan was shocked and thought to himself, "That blade is strange!" My Lightning Meridian attribute can actually sense it.
Buy this knife no matter what!
At this moment, the woman pressed her hands down, signaling everyone to shut up. "This saber is a low-grade weapon of the Mortal Stage. The starting bid is one million gold coins."
The scene became even more restless. Just now, everyone's restlessness was shocked by the sound of the woman's voice. Now, the restlessness was shocked by the sky-high price of this saber!
What does a low-grade Mortal Realm mean? That meant that this saber was no different from a saber forged from ordinary steel!
This kind of shitty thing could be bought for a dozen or twenty silver coins!
As a result, the scene was noisy, but there wasn't even a single bidder.
No one could see anything special about this saber. The woman seemed to have no intention of introducing it at all, but her eyes curved as she swept across the crowd. Obviously, her face was smiling under the black veil.
"Is anyone bidding?" The woman's eyes swept through the crowd, still maintaining a calm and elegant demeanor.
Xiang Nan was worried in his heart. At this moment, his bid had become the focus of everyone's attention. However, he really wanted that saber.
Not to mention a million gold coins, even if it was two million, three million, Xiang Nan would definitely buy a saber that could cause the lightning vein attribute to feel stress.
Seeing that the woman had already stretched out her hand, she wanted to take back her saber.
Xiang Nan sighed helplessly and raised his hand. "One million, I want it."
At this moment, countless pairs of eyes on the scene aimed at Xiang Nan.
An unusual splendor quickly flashed through the woman's eyes, and that splendid gaze disappeared in an instant.
"Haha! Someone really fell for this trick!" Someone finally couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Others echoed, "Yes, this broken saber costs a hundred silver coins."
Xiang Nan ignored everyone's mockery and sat down calmly.
The auctioneer stepped forward and smiled. "This auction is officially over. VIP bidders, please come and trade later."
