Chapter 240: Pharaoh's Scepter
"Xiaoyi, let's go in quickly. Ye Xiaoyu said.
"Let's go. Guo Yi smiled, he looked up at the jade city, can he find a chalcedony today?
The auction hall in Jade City is large enough to accommodate a thousand people. Even so, the auction room is still full today. The auction hall is divided into several areas, the front row is full of people who are either rich or noble, and there are also people with slightly ability in the middle, and the back area is basically a lively place after hearing the news.
Today's auction is extraordinary, the jade king of southern Xinjiang wants to auction, and the Bagua Palace has brought fine products to the auction. These two pieces of news alone are enough to shock many people. The king of jade, everyone is familiar with it, is the Guinness Book of Records, the size of jade, is the world's most, the purity of jade, but also the world's most.
Ye Xiaoyu's identity and status were not enough to squeeze into the front row, so he could only sit down in the middle row.
The more than 200 seats in the front row were all full. The bigwigs from all sides in Jiangnan City, the people of the municipal party committee, and some officials and tycoons who are obsessed with jade are all in the front row. After all, the auction was very attractive.
A group of government bigwigs and business elites in the front row all surrounded the people in the gossip hall to ask for warmth and slap their horses.
"If only we could walk with the people of the Bagua Temple. ”
"yes. ”
"I envy them!"
Around Guo Yi, many people were envious, watching the dignitaries in front of them chatting intimately with the people in the Bagua Palace. Maybe the opportunity is in place to be able to get in touch with the people of the Bagua Palace, and if you can't point to it, you will become a peripheral disciple of the Bagua Palace, or even a disciple of the door. In the future, you will be able to soar.
Guo Yi ignored the people around him, just sat upright, and waited earnestly for the auction to begin.
"Huh......"
Suddenly, a voice came from behind: "Isn't this the little righteous brother?"
Guo Yi turned his head and looked at Shen Congwu in surprise: "Brother Shen!"
"I didn't expect to see Brother Xiaoyi again. Shen Congwu's eyes were full of surprise, he walked over quickly, held Guo Yi's hand, and said, "Great, I'm worried about how to contact you, I was in a hurry last time, and I didn't leave contact information, God really pities me." ”
"Brother Shen, what's the matter with me?" asked Guo Yi.
"This time, the Great Elder of the Bagua Hall and several junior brothers and sisters went to Jiuhua Mountain to participate in the martial arts conference. Shen Congwu hurriedly said: "Passing by Jiangnan City, I was invited to this auction. On a whim, the Great Elder took a few ordinary items to auction, stopping by to see if there was anything he liked. ”
"Oh!" Guo Yi nodded.
"Brother Xiaoyi, I'll introduce you to our Great Elder when I go back. Shen Congwu said excitedly.
"Okay!" Guo Yi regarded Shen Congwu as a friend, and naturally he would not lose face.
If it were someone else, Guo Yike didn't have any interest in getting to know him.
The auction began soon.
At the beginning, the few lots that came out were very ordinary, and they couldn't get into Guo Yi's eyes at all, but a group of local tyrants were very happy to grab them. Pieces of jade that were carved into shape were auctioned at sky-high prices. These jade artifacts were of no use to Guo Yi at all.
"Alas......" Guo Yi sighed.
"What's wrong?" Ye Xiaoyu grabbed Guo Yi's arm and said, "Look how beautiful these jade objects are." ”
"There are some things that can't be said externally. Guo Yi looked at Ye Xiaoyu and said, "Jade, if it can be endowed with aura, it can be regarded as the best jade." If you can be gifted with spiritual sense, it is chalcedony. These jades are just some very ordinary jade. Even if it is worn on a person's body, it does not have much effect. ”
"Oh!" Ye Xiaoyu nodded, she blinked her beautiful eyes, and said, "You...... How do you understand that?"
"I just scratch the surface. Guo Yi smiled.
Just when Guo Yi was disappointed, on the auction table, a small cart came up. A man in a black suit pushes a small cart with a golden lid on it. It's hard to understand what's going on.
Guo Yi glanced at it and tried to scan the thing with his divine sense, but found that his divine sense power was insufficient. Guo Yi secretly said in his heart, divine consciousness is not easy to cultivate, and it is difficult to last only with the support of spiritual power. Therefore, if you want to cultivate your divine sense, you have to strengthen your spiritual power. However, mental power doesn't happen overnight.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the next lot has nothing to do with jade, but it has nothing to do with jade. The auctioneer walked slowly to the front of the stage and said with a smile: "This thing is a foreign person who asked us to help him auction it, let's take a look at this artifact first!"
When the golden lid was opened, there was a golden scepter inside.
The moment the golden scepter appeared, Guo Yi felt a powerful spiritual force rushing towards him.
"Huh!" Guo Yi was so shocked that he couldn't help but stand up.
"This is an ancient Egyptian pharaonic scepter. The auctioneer's expression was solemn and he said, "Standing next to this scepter, I can feel the majesty of this scepter." The entire scepter is made of pure gold, topped with a ruby and surrounded by a ring of jade......"
With the introduction of the auctioneer, the crowd was lively.
"Pharaoh's Scepter, isn't it just a few pounds of gold!"
"That is, how much is gold worth, can it be compared to our jade?"
"Gold has a price, and jade has no price. I don't understand this truth!"
A group of people were obviously not very optimistic about the scepter in front of them, the scepter was not long, only the length of a baby's arm, a thick head, and a thin tail. Chinese people prefer jade, but have no love for gold. In particular, the upper echelons of society have a preference for jade almost to the point of no return. Gold is nothing rare to them at all. Only beautiful jade is their pursuit, because the Chinese people believe that jade nourishes people.
"This time, the auction price starts at two million. The auctioneer smiled: "The price will be increased by 100,000 each time!"
"Two million!"
"Two two hundred and twenty thousand!"
"Two and a half million!"
Although I don't like it, there are many people who like it in the back and still hold up cards.
......
Soon, the price soared to three million.
The price has reached 3 million, which seems to be beyond the affordability of the Chinese people. In other words, this pharaoh's scepter is not very attractive to the people. After all, this is Jade City, and almost all of the people who come today are for the magic weapons of the Bagua Hall and the Jade King of Southern Xinjiang.
"Five million!" Suddenly, a voice came from the front row.
Wow......
There was an uproar.
"The people of the Gossip Hall actually bought a golden scepter at such a price?"
"Interesting!"
"Think of it as a collection. ”
There was a lot of talk in the crowd.
