Chapter 636 Eighth-cla.s.s Sword Sold for Twenty Million!
Everyone present did not have time to listen to the auctioneer as they stared fixedly at the seventh-grade sword on the auction stage.
Seventh-cla.s.s!
It could be superior in Wulin.
Even among some major forces, there were not many seventh-cla.s.s Martial Superiors.
There was no doubt that this seventh-cla.s.s sword had given hope to many major forces.
What did a seventh-cla.s.s sword mean? It meant that they could cultivate seventh-cla.s.s Martial Superiors!
They could not let go of these three seventh-cla.s.s swords.
Even Lu Zhiyuan, who represented the Xi family, raised the bidding paddle. He had not done anything before.
“Six million base price?”
“So high?”
“Although a seventh-cla.s.s sword is rare, it’s not easy to earn 6 million.”
“Yes, except for those big families and major forces, no one can easily take out 6 million.”
“Alas, only a big family can afford it. It has nothing to do with us.”
The audience whispered under the stage.
“Is n.o.body going to bid?”
On the auction stage, the auctioneer set his eyes on the first row. He knew that the people sitting in the first row were all major forces. Except for the Four Great Families and the government, the other major forces were not easy to deal with.
These major forces came to the auction to get seventh-cla.s.s, eighth-cla.s.s swords, and Guru Sword.
After all, the auction was decided by the amount of money rather than family property or strength.
Even if they had enough money, these major forces would not easily take action.
They were waiting, waiting to see the situation of their compet.i.tors.
“I don’t think that the auction of this seventh-cla.s.s sword will be abortive, right?”
When the time was up, the auctioneer smiled.
“Beep!”
Suddenly, a bidding sound rang out.
“Oh, here comes one.”
The auctioneer smiled and looked at the bidding display. Then, he read, “6.5 million, No.31, Row 1!”
Although he knew that the auction definitely would not be abortive, the auctioneer was still a little fl.u.s.tered.
Once the abortive auction happened, it would be a huge blow to his career!
There was a bid from the first bidder.
The auctioneer, who was a little nervous, immediately calmed down.
He was afraid that no one would bid. As long as someone made a bid, the price of such a treasure would definitely be increased!
“Beep!”
“6.8 million, No. 66, Row 2.”
“Beep!”
“Seven million, No. 99, Row 1.”
The medium-sized forces and major forces began to fight for it.
However, the Four Great Families and the government had not taken action.
“How odd!”
Looking at the Four Great Families and the government, He Gaoming said with a puzzled face, “The others have begun to fight for it. Why hasn’t the Four Major Families taken action yet?”
“They won’t make a move.”
Fang Qiu shook his head.
“Why?”
He Gaoming was stunned.
“The Four Great Families and the government are all here for Guru Sword. Compared with it, a sixth-cla.s.s sword or a seventh-a sword can only be an accessory. For an accessory, they had a price in their minds. If the final price doesn’t exceed the price in their minds, they will naturally take action. But once it exceeds the price, they will give it up directly.” Fang Qiu explained.
He Gaoming listened to Fang Qiu’s explanation while paying attention to the movements of the Four Great Families. He noticed that the representatives of the four families put down the bidding paddles in their hands one after another when the price of the first seventh-cla.s.s sword exceeds 7.5 million. They gave up the first seventh-cla.s.s sword to other major forces.
After a series of bidding, the first seventh-cla.s.s sword was sold for eight million.
The second one was sold for 8.1 million.
When it came to the third one, it was sold for 8.3 million because it was the last seventh-cla.s.s sword.
Three seventh-cla.s.s swords.
Each of them had reached more than eight million, which made Fang Qiu very happy.
“I didn’t expect a seventh-cla.s.s sword to be so valuable. If I had known that, I would have made all into seventh-cla.s.s swords. Wouldn’t 20 swords be worth 160 million?” Fang Qiu thought to himself.
He was also looking forward to the following process.
On the auction stage.
“Ahem, ahem…”
The auctioneer cleared his throat and then said, “So far, there are only two items left in this auction. I believe that many guests are waiting for the appearance of these two items. Then I won’t waste your time. Let’s invite the second last item, a once-in-a-century eighth-cla.s.s sword!”
When the auctioneer finished speaking, a staff member had already come out carrying a bronze tray. On the tray, there was a sapling-like jade sword bracket.
The Eighth-cla.s.s Sword was horizontally placed on it.
As the eighth-cla.s.s sword was placed on the auction stand, nearly all the people fixed their eyes on it.
“This is a thick-cut sword with a length of three feet and three inches.”
“The thick-cut sword is popular in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. Its back was straight, inclined, and wide.”
“This sword has hundreds of tempered steel lines. It’s so sharp that it can break gold.”
The auctioneer paused for a moment and then added, “The rarest thing is that the eighth-cla.s.s sword has not appeared in Wulin for a hundred years. Today, our auction house has the honor to sell it by auction, but there is only one. I hope that you, all the distinguished guests present, will not miss it.”
Whispers went on and on under the stage.
“Stop talking nonsense. Declare the starting price.” Someone shouted.
The auctioneer immediately smiled and said: “We start at 10 million. You can raise a price of less than two hundred thousand each time.”
“I’m going to announce the start of the auction!”
The auctioneer immediately hit with a small wooden hammer in his hand.
“Beep, beep, beep…”
Almost as soon as the bidding began, a variety of sounds were heard immediately.
On the auction stage.
The auctioneer did not say a word but waited.
He waited for 30 seconds.
When the bidding voices finally stopped, he glanced at the bidding display on the auction stage and reported, “16 million, No.48, Row 1.”
“Beep!”
Another bidding sound rang out as the auctioneer finished speaking.
“16.6 million, No. 49, Row 1.”
Everyone turned to look at him.
Qian Xiao, who was sitting in No. 48 seat, frowned and looked at Lu Zhiyuan, who was sitting in No. 49 seat next to him.
“It’s rare for Director Lu to make a move. Our Zhan family can’t fall behind.”
In the No. 50 seat, Zhan Lin chuckled and swiped the bidding paddle.
“Beep!”
The bidding began.
“18.88 million, No. 50, Row 1.” The auctioneer shouted.
“Since Miss Zhan wants it, I’ll give it to you.” Qian Xiao said to Zhan Lin with a fake smile.
“Director Lu?”
Zhan Lin looked at Lu Zhiyuan with a smile.
“Miss Zhan, I hope you can be magnanimous. I’m just obeying an order.”
Lu Zhiyuan shook his head with a smile and swiped his card, ready to bid.
“Beep!”
But right at this moment, another bidding sound rang out.
Hearing the sound, everyone was stunned, and so was Lu Zhiyuan.
“19.8 million, No.51, Row 1!” The auctioneer shouted.
Everyone immediately turned to look at the No. 51 seat.
Diwu Qian, who was sitting on No. 51 seat, was looking at Lu Zhiyuan with a smile.
“Ha-ha.”
Seeing this, Lu Zhiyuan laughed. Looking at the bidding interface in the sensing area, he shook his head and said, “Forget it. Since Miss Qian’er wants it, I won’t fight for it anymore. But the bidding has already begun, so I’ll name a price.”
“Beep!”
“20 million, No. 49, Row 1!” The auctioneer’s shout rang in their ears.
“Before we came, the Family Head had specifically instructed us to yield to Miss Qian’er. Since you want this eighth-cla.s.s sword, we’ll add another two hundred thousand. After the auction is over, I’ll return the extra four hundred thousand to you. What do you think?” Lu Zhiyuan said with a smile.
“No.”
Diwu Qian shook her head and said, “I don’t want it. This sword is yours.”
Hearing that, all those present were stunned.
“Pfft.”
Zhan Lin, who was aside, couldn’t help but laugh out loud.
“d.a.m.n, is there such a way to do it?”
“F*ck, he kissed her a.r.s.e, but she didn’t buy it?”
“Haha, interesting…”
Many people secretly laughed.
Fang Qiu, who had been staring at Diwu Qian, clearly saw a trace of cunning from her eyes.
Lu Zhiyuan, however, looked helpless and innocent.
He knew that Diwu Qian did it on purpose. Her ultimate goal was the last one, Guru Sword. Her previous two bids were to weaken the opponent’s power.
First of all, she let Qian Xiao spend 26 million to buy six sixth-cla.s.s swords. Now, she let Lu Zhiyuan spend 20 million to buy an eighth-cla.s.s sword.
Invisibly, the two families of the Four Great Families had already reduced part of the capital for bidding for Guru Sword.
On the auction stage, the auctioneer had already burst into laughter.
The auction item worth ten million was sold at a price of twenty million. The price doubled!
Compared to the auctioneer, Fang Qiu, who was sitting in No. 1, Row 3, was even more delighted.
“20 million, plus 24.4 million of three seventh-cla.s.s swords, 55 million of the sixth-cla.s.s and the fifth-cla.s.s swords. The total price comes to 99.4 million, almost 100 million!”
He counted in his mind.
Fang Qiu felt a little embarra.s.sed.
This was a f.u.c.king robbery.
Not to mention Guru Sword, he only spent two days making weapons, but it was sold for nearly 100 million. If He Gaoming’s sword was charged, wouldn’t it be more than 100 million?
He earned 100 million in two days!
Wasn’t this robbery?
Fang Qiu didn’t expect that these weapons could be sold at such a high price.
At this moment, Fang Qiu, who had been still short of tens of millions of yuan, suddenly had the idea of “I am a local tyc.o.o.n” in his heart.
One hundred million!
What did that mean?
In the whole world, 90% of people couldn’t make so much money in their lifetime, but it only took Fang Qiu two days to do it.
If this news got out, people would envy him so much.
Not to mention ordinary people, even for the Four Great Families, 100 million was not a small number!
However, Fang Qiu didn’t show too much excitement.
Because he knew that the most expensive was still the last one, Guru Sword!
An eighth-cla.s.s weapon was sold for 20 million.
How much a Guru Sword could be sold for?
Just like Fang Qiu, everyone’s attention was paid to the auction stage, waiting for Guru Sword to appear.
Even some people who were far away couldn’t help standing up, trying to get closer to Guru Sword.
In the first row.
Qian Xiao, Lu Zhiyuan, Zhan Lin, and Diwu Qian focused their attention on the auction stage.
Guru Sword had never been seen before in Wulin. They also wanted to know what it looks like, and what kind of magic it had!
