Dream Picking Records

Chapter 33 Auction

The moon was high in the sky, the stars were shining, and the lights were on. The city, which had been bustling all day, began to be prosperous again at night.

As the largest auction in the east, Xingsheng Auction Hall was not as crowded as expected. Because the main items were rare treasures, and low-priced items were rarely auctioned, the people who came here were either rich or noble.

Mo Kun said that he wanted to stay in his room to practice and did not come with them. Wang Xiao and the other two were still some distance away from the entrance of the venue when they were stopped by the guard.

"Go play somewhere else, this is not the place for you." Seeing that they were dressed in ordinary clothes, the people who blocked their way did not look at them well. There was nothing they could do, there were always snobs everywhere who judged people by appearance.

The few people were not angry. Wang Xiao took out the token given by Xia Ye, and the people who blocked his way immediately nodded and bowed, smiling flatteringly.

Bai Zhu turned around and said, "I still like your previous rebellious look."

The auction house was brightly lit, splendidly decorated with precious night pearls. It was made of rare metals and engraved with array texts to ensure that if someone started a conflict, it would not be damaged and could be suppressed on the spot. Of course, no one would take action in this place unless he had suicidal tendencies.

Led by the commissioner, the three of them walked into a private room.

"Welcome everyone!" Xia Ye stood up with a smile to welcome them.

The private room had a soundproofing array set up by the people at the venue, and was filled with precious teas, water, and exotic fruits. Before they could chat for a while, the lights on the central stage of the auction hall were lit, and an old man came on stage.

"Welcome everyone to Xingsheng Auction. I am the host of this auction. Adhering to the principle of quality first, I believe that this auction will satisfy you. Without further ado, let's start the auction."

A young girl in a green fairy dress, bright and charming, came on stage carrying a jade tray. The tray contained bamboo slips, but it was obvious that a part of it was missing.

"This is a bamboo slip found in an ancient site. It records a famous attack technique. I believe you have all heard of its name - White Lotus Sword Technique."

"hiss!"

Except for those in the box, everyone outside could hear the sound of shock.

"To be honest, this sword technique is seriously incomplete and only has three moves."

"cut……"

After the old man told the truth, he was not surprised to see the guests lose interest.

"The starting bid is 500,000 Spiritual Stones."

Everyone felt sorry, but that didn't stop many people from bidding, in case they figured out the subsequent moves one day. In the end, the White Lotus Sword Technique was auctioned off to the third-ranked Wanjian Sect for one million spirit stones.

The second item for auction is a bottle of elixir - Guiyuan Pill, which helps the user to successfully condense the primordial spirit. The starting price is 200,000 spirit stones.

Wang Xiao looked at it and complained in his heart, wondering what the hell was the Guiyuan Pill that the stall owner sold for 100 spirit stones during the day.

"Two hundred and one hundred thousand spirit stones." A voice came from the Cai family's private room. Seeing this, everyone chose to give up the bidding. The second son of the Cai family needed this medicine just when he was at the ninth level of concentration. They couldn't afford to offend him.

The old man at the auction was unhappy. The elixir that could have been worth at least several times more was snatched away by the Cai family. However, he could not show it because the Cai family was becoming more and more powerful.

The auction was in full swing, with fierce competition among many companies. During the auction, a Hedao-level weapon was bought by the number one-ranked Jinghong Academy for two million spirit stones.

The three people from Yunshan Academy and Xia Ye sat in a private room drinking tea and watching movies, but they hadn't seen anything of interest yet.

Soon after, a girl in a green dress came on stage holding an exquisite emerald green hairpin.

"When did Xingsheng change to selling jewelry?" people in the audience joked.

The old man was not angry and just smiled.

"This was also obtained in a secret realm. It is just a jade hairpin made of ordinary material. The strange thing is that the neighboring magic tools and spiritual treasures are all damaged, but this one remains immortal."

Ye Xiao was inexplicably fascinated when she saw the hairpin and unconsciously grabbed Wang Xiao's arm. Wang Xiao wondered, do women have no resistance to jewelry?

"The starting price is two hundred thousand spirit stones."

The people in the audience who had originally had this idea gave up immediately. After all, it was just an ornament and was not worth it. Who knows if this hairpin was preserved by luck?

There was no response from the audience for a long time, and the old man was not surprised. Ornaments without functionality would hardly arouse the interest of the monks. However, this hairpin was a little special, and he did not want to sell it at a low price.

Seeing Ye Xiao's expression, Wang Xiao decided to take a picture of him. After all, his sister Ye had never shown such an expression. Wang Xiao didn't have that many spirit stones, so he wanted to use the metals he found during the day to replace them.

"Brother Xia, can we trade?"

"Of course, the venue allows participants to temporarily entrust the auction, and professionals will conduct the evaluation."

Xia Ye and Bai Zhu looked at him with different expressions. Although they were siblings, they were not related by blood.

"I wonder what treasures Brother Xiao has?" Xia Ye originally wanted to help Wang Xiao buy it directly and then do him a favor. After all, one hundred thousand spirit stones was not a big number for him, but he was also interested in Wang Xiao's treasure, so he asked.

Wang Xiao took out the stone that the stall owner had sat cross-legged on when he took a break during the day.

Bai Zhu was puzzled. This stone looked familiar to him. He seemed to have seen it before when he was shopping on Taobao near the stall.

"Are you kidding me?"

Wang Xiao said nothing, using his palm as a knife. As he swung, the outer skin of the stone fell off, and a dazzling light shone. Several people used their spiritual power to protect their eyes and stared at the center of the light source. The blue metal as big as a baby's fist shone with a sacred aura.

The light faded and everyone came back to their senses.

"Shit! Holy weapon materials!" Even with Xia Ye's wealth, he was shocked at this moment, and threw aside his usual calm composure.

Fortunately, the magic circle in the box blocked the sound, otherwise the waves caused would be unimaginable.

Bai Zhu beat his chest and stamped his feet, wondering why he didn’t have such good eyesight and missed the opportunity!

"Brother Xiao, are you going to auction this?" Xia Ye said in shock.

“Brother Ye, please help me estimate the price of this material. How many spirit stones is it worth?” Wang Xiao said calmly. He still had a piece of metal as big as a human head and of a higher grade in his storage ring.

"There's no demand for it! Brother Xiao, please sell it to me. I promise to give you a satisfactory price."

King Ning'an was well-known, and Wang Xiao had originally planned to sell it to him if there was demand, so he nodded in agreement.

"Two hundred and ten thousand." Wang Xiao, now rich, was full of confidence and shouted out the price through the magic circle.

"Two hundred and twenty thousand." When the people in Cai's box heard the voice coming from Prince Ning'an's private room, they began to deliberately raise the price.

"The Cai family is getting more and more arrogant! I'm sorry, Brother Xiao, my father has a grudge against the Cai family and wants to make you vomit blood." Xia Ye apologized.

Wang Xiao waved his hand to show that he didn't care.

"Two hundred and thirty thousand."

"Two hundred and fifty thousand." The other party spoke casually. Seeing that the two parties were arguing, the others did not dare to speak out and just watched quietly.

This is not a solution, Wang Xiao pretended to hesitate.

"Two hundred and sixty thousand."

"Three hundred thousand."

"Brother Xiao, I was just distracted. There is no need to do this." Ye Xiao came back to his senses after hearing his offer. He felt warm in his heart and hurriedly dissuaded him.

"Three hundred and fifty thousand!" Wang Xiao patted the back of her hand to indicate that it was okay, then shouted in pretended anger.

Cai Deyang in the box sneered: "It's only over 300,000 yuan. Brother Xia Ye, there's no need to be so angry, right? I'll give it to you."

"Congratulations, young man!" the old man said with a smile, and ordered someone to deliver the hairpin to continue the auction.

The people at the auction house moved quickly and soon knocked on the door of the box. Wang Xiao took the jade hairpin and handed it to Ye Xiao.

"Thank you!" Ye Xiao tightly grasped the jade hairpin and smiled sweetly, making all the beauty pale in comparison.

"Sister Ye, why are you thanking me? Just make me two delicious meals!"

Xia Ye couldn't let go of the metal made of the holy weapon. He quickly took out the communication talisman to inform his father, and finally offered a price of five million spirit stones.

Bai Zhu poked Wang Xiao on the back and said, "Brother Xiao, take me to Taobao someday. You will be my good brother from now on!"

"Easy to say, easy to say!"

Wang Xiao smiled brilliantly and gave an affirmative answer, and Bai Zhu smiled foolishly in anticipation.

The auction was still going on. After a few items, Wang Xiao called out the price again, and Cai Deyang immediately followed suit. The organizers were happy to see this happen. Cai Deyang raised the price several times, and Wang Xiao stopped at the right time and said, "Give it to him." Although the other party is very wealthy, it's better to take revenge if you can, and it's better to annoy the other party for a while.

"A black armored war tortoise shell from the Hedao realm. According to professional analysis, this war tortoise has a high degree of regression to its ancestral form. It died unexpectedly, so the starting price is 500,000 spirit stones."

Although the tortoise shell is strong and has amazing defense, it would be embarrassing to tell others that you are fighting with others while wearing a tortoise shell. The people present are all well-known and influential people, and they cannot afford to lose face.

“Five hundred and fifty thousand.” Wang Xiao stared at the tortoise shell, used the power of space to see through it, and found what he needed deep in the tortoise shell.

"Six hundred thousand." An old man stroked the young man beside him and shouted the price, and the young man quickly covered his face.

"Grandpa, I won't wear it even if you take a picture of me. It's so embarrassing!" The old man smiled awkwardly.

In the end, Wang Xiao bought the tortoise shell for 650,000 yuan, and was laughed at by Cai Deyang. He didn't care and was secretly happy.

The old man cleared his throat, and the experienced people in the meeting hall understood this "secret code" and straightened their seats.

"The finale item that will be presented now is the destiny-level technique - Eight Desolate Desolation Annihilation Palm. The starting price is five million spirit stones."

"Six million." Without allowing anyone present to sigh, the fourth-ranked Zhulu Academy shouted.

"Seven million." The white-robed elder of the Creation Sect added another million calmly.

"Eight million." Cai Deyang's lazy voice came out.

"Nine million." The white-robed elder retorted.

"Ten million!" Cai Deyang's tone was cold. The people from Jinghong Academy nearby glanced at the white-robed elder of the Creation Sect. The white-robed old man who still wanted to fight suddenly wilted.

"The Cai family is just rich and powerful." Xia Ye sighed. In terms of financial resources alone, his family background might not be better than theirs. If nothing unexpected happened, no one would compete with him anymore.

Then, the girl in green skirt came on stage holding a jade plate with a talisman on it.

"Next is the top item of this auction, the Three-Life Death Substitute Talisman. As the name suggests, it can help the owner to die three times. The starting price is 7 million spirit stones!"

The Creation Sect and the Ten Thousand Swords Sect did not give Jinghong Academy any face and fought for it. In the end, the Three Life Death Talisman was bought by the Jinghong Academy, which had a deeper foundation, at a price of 15 million.

The happiest people were the people at the auction, who made a lot of money every time. The old man looked radiant, and he ended the auction after giving a thank you speech.

The spirit stones that Wang Xiao spent on the auction were charged to Xia Ye. Xia Ye said that he would make up the difference afterwards, or that he could exchange them if he had anything he was interested in. He would never let Wang Xiao suffer a loss.
