PNB Chapter 105 Auction III
Chapter 105 Auction III
Inside the auction hall, the bustling exhibition area was packed with people. Their eyes were fixed on the display stands, eagerly anticipating the next rare item to be revealed.
The man stood on the display stand with a confident smile on his face.
He keenly sensed that the atmosphere had reached a climax and the timing was perfect, so he presented the next item without hesitation.
A delicate jade bottle appeared before everyone's eyes, and the man introduced it loudly.
"Ladies and gentlemen, what I am about to present to you is a bottle of top-grade pills. This bottle contains a total of ten incomparably precious pills."
If you are fighting someone and your internal energy is depleted, you only need to take one of these pills to instantly and greatly increase your internal energy.
The starting price is ten thousand taels of silver, and each bid must be at least one thousand taels higher.
Upon hearing this, the already noisy crowd erupted into chaos.
Shanzi and his companions were so surprised they couldn't close their mouths and started discussing it amongst themselves.
"Wow, this pill is actually so valuable!" Shanzi's eyes widened, his face full of disbelief.
Afu said regretfully, "Oh dear, if only we had taken out a bottle of pills and sold them to them, we could have earned at least tens of thousands of taels of silver." As he finished speaking, his eyes seemed to be shining with golden light.
Meanwhile, the bidders below the stage could no longer contain their excitement and were vying to place their bids.
"Fifteen thousand taels!" a burly man shouted first.
"Twenty thousand taels!" The wealthy merchant sitting in the front row, not to be outdone, immediately raised the price by a large margin.
"Twenty-five thousand taels!" someone shouted back, their voice echoing throughout the exhibition hall.
As the bidding intensified, the atmosphere grew increasingly tense and exciting. Just then, the man raised his gavel again and loudly announced, "Alright, 25,000 taels for the first bid..."
Before he could finish speaking, new offers came flooding in.
Amidst the clamor of bidding, the bottle of pills was eventually sold to someone on the third floor for 80,000 taels of silver.
Meanwhile, another eye-catching item—a powerful and imposing set of boxing moves—was also put on display.
The man cleared his throat and continued, "Distinguished guests, please look here. Next up for auction is a set of unparalleled fist techniques."
This set of boxing techniques is extremely fierce and domineering. Once mastered, one can dominate the martial arts world.
The starting price is also 10,000 taels of silver, but each bid must be at least 2,000 taels higher.
Before the words were even finished, another commotion erupted from the audience. Excitement and eagerness gleamed in the eyes of many martial artists; an even fiercer competition was about to unfold…
"Twenty thousand."
"Twenty-two thousand."
"Twenty-five thousand," a man who looked like a rich young master shouted arrogantly.
"Thirty thousand," a martial artist dressed in coarse linen clothes replied without backing down.
"Forty thousand." A steady voice from an old man came from the private room.
The price continued to rise. "Fifty thousand!" The rich young man seemed determined to win, his tone resolute.
Ultimately, the wealthy young master acquired this set of boxing techniques for a high price of 50,000 taels of silver.
Immediately afterwards, a manual of internal martial arts techniques was solemnly presented on the display stand.
"This internal energy cultivation manual is a peerless secret technique. Practicing it will greatly increase one's internal strength. The starting bid is 20,000 taels, and each bid must be at least 2,000 taels higher."
"Twenty-five thousand."
"Thirty-five thousand."
"forty thousand."
"fifty thousand."
As prices continued to rise, the audience's emotions became increasingly high and excited.
"Seventy thousand!" A mysterious voice drifted from the private room.
Finally, the mysterious man successfully acquired this internal energy cultivation manual.
Just as everyone was still deeply immersed in the intense atmosphere of the previous auction, a waiter led a magnificent white horse slowly and gracefully onto the display platform.
The auctioneer announced in a loud and enthusiastic voice: "Ladies and gentlemen, what is about to be presented to you is this one-in-a-million, unparalleled white steed."
This horse has a pure white coat, a strong and agile physique, runs at a speed like the wind, and has an astonishing stamina.
Not only is it an excellent travel companion, but it is also a powerful assistant on the battlefield.
The starting price is 30,000 taels, and each bid must be at least 3,000 taels higher.
"Wow, Daya, look at this horse, doesn't it look like the Changshan Zhao Zilong's Jade Lion at Night that Xiaoya was talking about?" Afu asked Daya excitedly.
Xiao Lie was also extremely excited when he saw the white horse on the display stand.
"If Xiaoya were here, she would definitely buy it and give it to Xiaoman. Xiaoya even told Xiaoman that she would buy him a white horse, bright armor, and a silver spear when he grew up."
The Spirit King overheard their conversation and said calmly, "Buy it if you like it."
When Shanzi and the others heard what the Spirit King said, they felt quite embarrassed.
The group looked at each other without making a sound.
They could easily spend tens of thousands of taels of silver; that was far beyond their means.
"Thirty-five thousand!" A young nobleman was the first to call out the price, his eyes filled with love and desire for the horse.
"Forty thousand!" another rough and bold voice rang out, seemingly belonging to a wandering adventurer.
"Fifty thousand!" A wealthy and elegant businessman also joined the fierce competition.
At this moment, King Ling spoke again: "Don't you like this horse? If you like it, then bid on it, and I will pay for it for you."
Daya quickly declined the Spirit King's offer. They liked the horse, but they didn't have the money. Having lived in Su Family Village since childhood, they couldn't possibly afford to buy a horse.
The price continued to climb. "Seventy thousand!" a man who looked like a general shouted. His eyes were as firm as iron, as if he was determined to win.
"Eighty thousand!" The young man gritted his teeth and raised the price again, unwilling to give up easily.
However, the general showed no sign of backing down. "One hundred thousand!" he shouted out the price, eliciting gasps of amazement from the crowd.
Just when everyone thought the general was about to successfully bid for the horse, a clear, cold voice came from the second-floor private room, "150,000!"
Everyone couldn't help but look up at that private room, wondering who it was.
The auctioneer suddenly calmed down upon seeing the scene.
He shouted excitedly, "Anyone else want to bid? 150,000 for the first time, 150,000 for the second time, 150,000 for the third time, sold! Congratulations to this distinguished guest for acquiring this white steed."
Shanzi and the others could only watch as the white horse was led away.
Subsequently, a rare medical classic was put up for auction.
"This medical book has been verified by a pharmacist to be genuine."
This medical book records countless miraculous and exquisite medical techniques and secret prescriptions. The starting bid is 50,000 taels, with each bid increment no less than 5,000 taels.
As soon as this medical book came out, the people of Medicine King Valley could no longer stand still.
An old man was seen raising a red flag on the third floor, the red flag representing ten thousand.
"Sixty thousand!"
Immediately afterwards, on the third floor on the other side, someone else raised a flag. "Sixty-five thousand!"
"Seventy thousand!" a man dressed as a doctor exclaimed excitedly.
After a fierce competition, only two rooms on the third floor remained to compete for.
Before we knew it, the price had reached 150,000.
"Sixteen thousand." "Seventeen thousand."
The two old men seemed determined to obtain this medical book at any cost.
As the competition progressed, the pace of the competition between the two sides slowed down relatively.
The old man from Medicine King Valley had already shouted up to 280,000.
All they heard was the cold voice of another old man: "I am the Celestial Master of Qin. Does your Medicine King Valley really have to have me?"
When Da Ya heard the old man opposite her mention the Qin state, she suddenly shuddered, overwhelmed with excitement, her whole body trembling.
It was Xiaoyue, who was standing nearby, who noticed this and quickly hugged her: "Sister Daya, don't get excited, there are many experts here."
Furthermore, we don't know if Wolf, the leader of the Shadow Organization, is here.
After hearing Xiaoyue's words, Daya's initially overwhelming excitement gradually subsided.
But her fists were clenched and trembling slightly, clearly indicating that her heart was still in turmoil.
At this moment, it wasn't just Daya who felt this way; everyone in the entire Su family village was engulfed in a raging fire of anger.
On the other hand, the people of Medicine King Valley remained calm and fearless in the face of the Qin Kingdom's Celestial Master.
One of the old men even leisurely stroked his beard and retorted without any politeness.
"Oh ho! The dignified Celestial Master of the entire nation, can you really not even afford a mere 280,000 taels of silver?"
His contemptuous tone and provocative demeanor suggested that he completely disregarded the Qin people opposite him.
Just then, the man in charge of the auction spoke.
He said with a serious expression, "This auction adheres to the principle of fair competition, and no party may maliciously interfere with other bidders."
I hereby solemnly warn everyone that if similar verbal attacks occur again, don't blame Qinglan Auction House for showing no mercy and expelling the violator from the venue.
After saying this, he gave a sharp look at the people from both the Su family and Medicine King Valley.
However, the Qin State Celestial Master merely snorted indifferently at the man's warning at the auction, showing his disdain.
Immediately afterwards, he shouted without hesitation, "Three hundred thousand!" His voice was loud and firm, as if he were declaring to the people of Medicine King Valley that he was determined to win.
However, the old man in Medicine King Valley was no ordinary person either.
When he heard the Qin State Celestial Master raise the price again, he blurted out without thinking, "Three hundred and twenty thousand!"
Their bidding speed and momentum were in no way inferior to their opponent's. And so, the two went back and forth, neither giving an inch, and the price soared.
Finally, after several rounds of fierce competition, this precious medical book ended up in the hands of the old man from Medicine King Valley.
The transaction price was set at an astonishing 380,000 taels of silver.
