Chapter 142 The auction begins
The bustling auction hall was crowded with people and noisy.
Amidst the eager and expectant gazes of the crowd, Yafei, dressed in a gorgeous purple cheongsam, walked out with a graceful figure and elegant manners.
Each of her steps seemed to carry a unique rhythm, and the hem of her cheongsam swayed gently with her steps, like a blooming violet.
"Hello everyone, I'm Yafei from Miter Auction House. Welcome everyone to this auction."
Yafei's voice was clear and pleasant, like a clear spring flowing through the mountains, and instantly spread throughout the auction hall.
As Yafei introduced herself, the audience immediately erupted in cheers and whistles, the sound like surging waves, one higher than the other.
"Is this the auction house's president, Ya Fei? Rumor has it that she's a stunning beauty, and now it seems she's truly worthy of her reputation."
A man stared at Yafei with wide eyes, muttering to himself.
"Yes, if you can catch a woman like this, you will never have to worry about having no money in your life." Another man next to him echoed, his face full of fantasy.
As soon as these words were spoken, many people around immediately cast contemptuous glances at that person.
"Brother, what are you thinking about? If you want to dream, go home. This is not the place for you to dream." A burly man snorted coldly and said disdainfully.
"I was just teasing you guys, is it really that serious? But weren't all the auctions in the past held by Candy? Why is the president doing it himself today?"
The man who was being ridiculed curled his lips and retorted unconvincedly.
"You probably don't know this, but I heard this auction is quite grand, with a lot of great stuff. Even the patriarchs of the three major families are here."
An old man who seemed to be well-informed stroked his beard and spoke slowly.
"Really? Then do you know what they are?" Someone came over curiously.
"How should I know? But now that we are here, we will know soon." The old man shook his head and looked at the auction table again.
As the people in the audience were discussing, Ya Fei continued to speak.
She had a confident and charming smile on her face and her eyes swept across the audience.
"I'm sure everyone knows that this auction is different from previous ones. Many of the items being auctioned today are precious elixirs produced by alchemists."
"Furthermore, this auction, in addition to the last three grand finale items, has added an additional grand finale item. I'm sure everyone here will be very excited."
Yafei's voice rose slightly, carrying a hint of mysterious temptation.
"What? Something new?"
Sitting in the VIP section of the auction hall, Xiao Yan's father, Xiao Zhan, also showed a look of surprise. He frowned slightly, his eyes filled with curiosity.
After all, they came to the auction because they heard that there were Qi Gathering Pills and potions to improve talents. Now there are new things, which makes him very curious.
The other two families were also very interested in this, and they all looked eager to try, like a group of beasts about to pounce on their prey.
Ya Fei, who was in the center of the auction hall, saw the expressions of the crowd and felt secretly proud and very satisfied with the result.
"I believe everyone can't wait any longer. In that case, I won't waste any more time. Today's auction will officially begin."
As soon as Ya Fei finished speaking, a maid in a pink dress came up carefully carrying a tray covered with a red cloth.
When the red cloth was gracefully lifted, an exquisite jade bottle was revealed to everyone.
Inside the jade bottle, a Qi-gathering pill emitting a green glow was faintly visible, like a bright star.
"I believe you all already know that this is the Qi Gathering Pill, which can help the younger generation gather Qi and become fighters."
Yafei's voice rang out again, clearly reaching everyone's ears.
"Such a precious item should have been the finale, but for the sake of this auction, I decided to take it out first, just as a starting point for further discussion."
"The starting price is 100 gold coins, and each bid increase must not be less than gold coins."
终～
As the crisp sound of hammers hitting the counter spread throughout the venue, the auction officially kicked off.
"Gold coins!"
As a fat middle-aged man raised the sign in his hand and started quoting prices, everyone looked over there.
He is an elder of the Jialie family, one of the other two major families besides the Xiao family.
Seeing this, the people from the Oba family on the side immediately hummed in dissatisfaction.
"Old dog Jialie, you want to get such a rare second-grade elixir for just 11,000 gold coins? You think too highly of yourself, don't you? I'll give you 50,000 gold coins!"
The elder of the Oba family spoke in a loud voice, full of provocation.
Seeing such a high price, passers-by at the scene cheered.
"Oh my god, this is too generous, 50,000 gold coins in one go." A young man couldn't help but exclaimed.
"Of course. Don't you see what kind of medicine this is? I heard that the elder's son is now at the ninth star of the Qi Refining Stage. He is probably waiting to buy this medicine and bring it back to his son." An old man analyzed, his eyes full of envy.
"As expected, a big family is good. They don't have to worry about cultivation resources. Unlike us, we can't even get 100 gold coins together."
A man in plain clothes sighed and shook his head helplessly.
Just as the audience was grumbling, Xiao Zhan also raised his own sign and said in a steady and powerful voice: "Gold Coins!"
"gold!"
"gold!"
As the people present made their bids one by one, the pill that was originally worth ten thousand gold coins was soon sold at a high price of fifty thousand gold coins.
The only remaining competitors were the two elders from the Galie family and the Oba family. They were both determined to obtain this pill, and their eyes were full of determination and persistence.
"I'll give you 60,000 gold coins."
As Elder Gale roared, his face turned red, as if he had used up all his strength.
The elder of the Oba family hesitated for a moment, and finally stopped bidding.
Seeing this situation, Yafei knew that the ideal price had almost been reached, but she was also satisfied with selling it for 60,000 gold coins.
So he raised the hammer in his hand and knocked it down gently.
boom~
"Qi Gathering Pill, 60,000 gold coins, first time."
"Qi Gathering Pill for 60,000 gold coins, the second time."
"Qi Gathering Pill for 60,000 gold coins for the third time. Deal! Congratulations to Elder Jialie for successfully obtaining this pill."
