Chapter 219 The Spirit of Ice and Snow(1/2)
A group of people walked along the east corridor, circled half a circle, and entered the auction house directly.
The interior of the auction house is a huge hall, with more than a thousand seats inside, arranged one step at a time up the stairs.
The closer the seat is to the front, the higher the status.
Chen Pao led Li Feng, Lu Tao and others to the last few rows and sat down quietly, waiting for the auction to begin.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
As time went by, more and more people entered the auction house, and the hall gradually became noisy, with people moving around everywhere.
In the hall, the light was dim, but as a demon hunter, Li Feng could clearly see the environment.
We even found many familiar faces in the crowd, including Wumeng from the Blood Ax Team, Huo Biao from the Thunder Tiger Team, Wang Meng from the Fire Lion Team, etc.
There are also some family elders that Li Feng met during the demon hunter assessment process.
It seems that this auction is indeed very attractive. It is incredible that these big names can be gathered together.
After the whole process lasted for a while, a large number of guards maintained order, and the chaotic scene gradually subsided. Everyone sat down and waited quietly for the auction to start.
After a while, an old man in black robes with a broad face and meticulously groomed short silver hair gracefully walked up to the spacious high platform, looked around, stretched out his hands and spoke the opening remarks with a smile.
"Dear guests, you have been waiting for a long time. I am Nangong Sheng, the host of this auction."
"Presumably the guests who have participated in many auctions must have dealt with the old man. Everyone is an old acquaintance."
"So I won't say too many polite words, so as not to be disliked by all the guests, haha." Nangong Shenglang laughed, and then said angrily: "Now, I would like to invite you for today's first auction item."
As soon as the host appeared, there was a commotion and bursts of laughter in the hall, but it soon subsided.
Because the exciting show has already begun.
As the host gave an order, two attendants immediately came over from behind the scenes carrying a brocade box made of red-grained gold and wood.
"Old rules, for our first auction item, we should open the eyes of the guests first and create a little atmosphere." Nangong Sheng said with a smile, then turned to the attendant behind him and reminded: "Turn off all the crystal lamps."
When the attendant heard Nangong Sheng's words, he nodded respectfully, turned around, ran down, and instantly extinguished all the crystal lanterns in the hall.
After the lights were turned off, the entire hall was pitch dark, and a series of noises arose.
"Why turn off the lights?"
"Nangong Sheng, what kind of tricks is this old guy playing?"
"Huh, I just like to make mysteries."
Just as everyone was talking about it, suddenly, a hazy blue light burst out from the high platform, illuminating the entire hall, and the air suddenly became much cooler.
After looking closely, he discovered that the source of the light was actually a blue orb the size of a fist.
"Holy shit, it's actually a water droplet."
"This old man, after working on it for a long time, it turned out to be a water-proof bead."
"Tch, I thought it was some kind of incredible treasure."
Li Feng also noticed the orb that glowed with bright blue light on the high platform, and found that it looked familiar. After careful identification, he found that this orb was exactly the same as the orb that he found on an ancient sunken ship in the deep sea.
It turns out that the first treasure in the auction is actually a water-repellent bead.
"Everyone, have you ever heard of water-avoiding beads? This thing is very rare." At this time, Nangong Sheng began to fully demonstrate his eloquence.
"With it, you can explore the deep sea and breathe freely like a fish."
"This is an important treasure used by the fishmen to build the palace. This opportunity cannot be missed, and it will never come back again."
"The starting price is one thousand gold coins, and each bid is one hundred gold coins."
Following Nangong Sheng's order, all the crystal lanterns in the hall lit up, and each guest began to bid.
"One thousand one hundred gold coins!"
"One thousand and two...!"
"Fifteen hundred.."
"two thousand...."
Dozens of guests competed to bid, and the bidding price soared from one thousand gold coins to five thousand gold coins. Finally, the bid was won by a fat noble lady.
This water-proof bead is a very special treasure. Its main function is to isolate the sea water and form an independent space.
Carrying this kind of treasure is perfect for adventures in the deep sea.
If you buy it in a very formal and high-end large store, it will cost at least 10,000 gold coins.
However, the guests who came to the auction were all experienced people, and the water-proof beads had no effect except to avoid water.
Unless those rich and wealthy people take a fancy to it and put it as a decoration at home, but for demon hunters, it is simply worthless and has very little effect.
It is simply a pity to throw away and useless to hold.
Almost no demon hunters would be interested in such common treasures.
This auction item may have been collected by some gold prospector from an abandoned ship on the sea. It came from an erroneous source and had nowhere to take action, and then put it here for auction.
Nangong Sheng was very happy after selling his first auction item.
Then he said solemnly: "Everyone, this water-avoiding bead is just an appetizer. The real treasure is about to appear. Please open your eyes and take a good look."
Hearing what Nangong Sheng said, the entire hall suddenly became quiet. Everyone opened their eyes and looked towards the high platform.
Only two waiters were seen, struggling to carry a rectangular object from behind the scenes. It was covered with a red cloth. Nothing could be seen clearly, and it looked very mysterious.
The waiter gently put the things on the table, then turned around and left quickly.
Nangong Sheng looked around the audience and said with a mysterious smile: "Everyone, this is a real treasure."
"Before that, are you interested in taking a guess?"
Hearing what he said, the guests sitting below were not happy. A middle-aged fat man in a purple robe said: "Hey, old man Nangong, we are here to auction things, not to listen to your opera."
"That's right, Nangong God, can you stop showing off and save everyone's time?"
"So much nonsense."
When Nangong Sheng heard the voice full of complaints coming from below, he immediately said with enthusiasm: "In that case, I'll stop nagging you."
"Then please take a good look at this treasure."
Then, he took a step forward and lifted off the red cloth covering it, revealing an ice-blue round egg the size of a basin, glowing with green light all over.
"Hey, what is this?"
"An egg, good boy."
"I've seen this thing before. It's the egg of the ninth-level magic beast Ice and Snow Phoenix!"
"My God, I can actually get something like this."
Seeing this strange ice-blue round egg, the entire hall exploded into an uproar.
"Okay, let's not talk nonsense. This is indeed the egg of the ninth-level magic beast Ice and Snow Phoenix. It was snatched from Ice and Fire Island by three nine-star warriors at a heavy price." Nangong Sheng saw the eyes of the guests below shine and he was immediately happy.
Go up to the tip of your eyebrows.
"The bidding price starts from 200,000 gold coins, and each bid is no less than 10,000 gold coins."
Following the host's order, countless people began bidding frantically.
"Twenty-one thousand!"
"Two hundred and fifty thousand."
"Three hundred and fifty thousand."
"Four hundred thousand."
"Eight hundred thousand."
The eggs laid by ninth-level monsters are indeed very attractive. If they are hatched in the future, they will be able to control a ninth-level monster with unlimited potential.
There is no doubt about the destructive power and deterrence of any ninth-level monster.
What's more, it's a bird and monster egg with the ability to fly.
The bidding for this monster egg has just started, and the price has skyrocketed.
From 200,000 gold coins all the way to 2.05 million gold coins, the sky-high prices shouted out were simply outrageous.
Sitting in the hall, Li Feng couldn't help but hold his breath when he heard the customers asking for prices wildly. He was so excited that he jumped up and down.
"Damn, these guys are so rich. Who on earth can raise such crazy prices?"
"If I were so rich, I would definitely have a loud voice."
"Haha, this scene is really exciting, but let's just watch it."
Just feeling the atmosphere of spending money like water can make people feel excited.
It's a pity that Chen Pao and the others don't have any money, so they can't get their turn to raise the price no matter what.
Because the wealthy locals sitting below them and calling out prices are all top figures in their families who are either rich or noble, and hold large sums of wealth in their hands.
