In the front row, the tall 18 bronze coins clenched their fists tightly. Blue veins popped out on his face. If it wasn't for the fact that it was inappropriate to make a move in the auction, he would have rushed forward long ago. He didn't slap people in the face, and he didn't expose his shortcomings when he scolded people. However, the bidder was the one who raised the topic.
The starting price was one silver coin, which was also a huge insult. The human race players were all very angry, but there was nothing they could do about it. They had obtained spoils of war on the battlefield, and their skills were not as good as the others, so they could only let them show off.
"2 silver coins!" The player who called out the price also knew that he had offended someone, so he wore a clown mask.
"1000 gold coins!" No one spoke, only Eighteen Bronze Rents' gloomy voice rang out.
18 bronze coins were the higher ups of Sesame Open Gate, although Sesame Open Gate's status had dropped a lot since the Sesame City was destroyed. However, he was still a huge figure in human race. As the decision-maker of Sesame Open Gate, Eighteen Bronze Rens had a very high status in the pugilistic world. Since everyone knew that it was his equipment, they naturally wouldn't be foolish enough to compete with him. Even if they liked it in their hearts, they wouldn't do anything that would make their loved ones hate them.
"5,999 gold!" Only the masked man wasn't afraid. Every price he shouted made people want to bite him twice.
"6,000 gold coins!" Eighteen Bronze Rents gritted his teeth, but he had no choice but to shout out the price. Apart from losing face, the other thing was that it wasn't easy to get a good piece of equipment.
He couldn't bear to part with this shield.
The price offered by the masked man was very clever, which was exactly the limit of what he could bear. Give up, don't bear to part with it, take it, you'll have to bleed.
Dang!
Seeing that no one else was bidding, the auctioneer decisively dropped the hammer and said with a smile, "Congratulations, congratulations, 18 bronze coins for obtaining this item, the item is back to its owner, congratulations!"
18 bronze coins' face darkened, not showing the slightest bit of happiness. Spending money to buy back his own item was still spending a large sum of money, extremely aggrieved.
"The next item isn't an equipment, but a material. A turtle shell of the Divine Beast Black Tortoise, a turtle shell of the Black Tortoise. I don't need to say much, but everyone knows its value. His original owner was Yellow Sky Government's Huang Province. Similarly... We also hope that the turtle shell will return to its original owner. The starting bid is 1 silver coin, and the auction begins!"
"2 silver coins!" The price of the masked man was fixed. As long as the price was stated, the auction would not go unsold. If that was the case, the statistics of the Temple Auction would be very good.
"Brother-in-law!" Wu Bao Er didn't understand why Dongfang Qingyu's expression suddenly turned ugly. However, she knew that Dongfang Qingyu needed this turtle shell. The turtle shell could be classified as a bone type, and it could also be refined into a Bone Pet.
She didn't know the relationship between the Heaven Shentian Manor and Dongfang Qingyu. She clearly knew that Dongfang Qingyu was looking for a bone. Huang Province had a bone, but they did not take it out. This was no longer something that could be explained by selfishness.
It wasn't like Dongfang Qingyu didn't want to help his own people, and it wasn't like he didn't want to pay. In fact, he had never mistreated his own people when it came to buying things. Huang Province's actions made him feel a chill in his heart.
"1000 gold coins." Dongfang Qing Yu calmly said.
On the second floor, in the private room, Huang Zhou, who was dressed like a prince, was about to bid when he heard this voice. He quivered and blurted out, "Why is he here? This is troublesome!"
"Fifth Brother, what should we do?" Huang Zhong asked.
"How would I know what to do? Who knew he would come out? He hasn't been to the auction for a long time, how could it be such a coincidence!" Huang Zhou's mind was in chaos.
"Are we going to bid?" Huang Zhong asked.
"We can't bid. If we bid, there will be no explanation." Huang Zhou stared at the eastern Qingyu in the hall, his facial expression constantly changing. Although Dongfang Qingyu was alone, he was not someone Huang Tianfu Court could offend.
"1100 gold coins!" The masked man hesitated for a moment before calling out a price.
Dongfang Qingyu stared at him and did not say anything. Dongfang Qingyu basically did not know any of the players in the hall. However, there were only a few who did not know him and recognized him. They all cooperated and didn't participate. For a moment, the hall was incomparably silent.
Sweat seeped out from the masked man's forehead.
"The hammer has fallen. It has already been five or six seconds. What are we waiting for?" Eighteen Bronze Rents said in a very serious tone.
"Is there anyone else who wants to bid?" The auctioneer smiled embarrassedly and quickly said, "As one of the four Divine Beasts, the Black Tortoise has unparalleled defense. Its turtle shell is a top grade regardless of whether it is used for medicine or for crafting equipment. At least it is a treasure, and there is a certain probability that it will drop an Immortal Weapon. If I remember correctly... This is the first Black Tortoise Shell that has appeared in the game, we can't miss it!"
However, no matter how extravagant his words were, whether it was the main hall or the second floor, everything was silent.
"Fifth brother, the price of 1100 gold coins is still acceptable. How about we add a bit?" Huang Zhong was still young, so he didn't see anything wrong with it. However, Huang Zhou knew the reason why no one bid.
Not to mention the people in the hall, none of the people on the second floor were stupid. How could they not see the price of the turtle shell? Why didn't anyone say anything? That was because the Temple Auction House had incurred public wrath. Everyone wanted to teach them a lesson. They didn't want to be so impudent.
It was an unspoken rule to look for someone in the auction house. After all, they didn't want any good things to be auctioned off. However, he had to be aware of his intentions. He had to keep a low profile and conceal his intentions. Without anyone knowing, the Masked Man was simply slapping the faces of the human players.
The human race players also cared about their faces.
"1100 gold coins per try..."
The auctioneer spoke very slowly. His gaze swept across the entire audience, but no one cooperated with him.
"1100 gold coins twice..."
The masked man's body trembled slightly. It was unknown whether he was nervous or regretful. Wu Bao Er looked at Dongfang Qingyu with admiration. As expected of her brother-in-law. He had embarrassed this annoying person the moment he made his move.
"1100 gold coins..." The auctioneer sighed in his heart. He knew that he had played it too hard. He did not expect Dongfang Qingyu's influence to be so great. Just as he was about to strike the hammer, Dongfang Qingyu spoke.
"1100 gold coins and 1 copper coin!"
"Each increment must not be lower than 1... silver coin!" The auctioneer's hammer hung in the air. It should have been a happy thing for someone to increase the bid, but at this moment, he was not happy.
"Did you say that?" Dongfang Qingyu asked in a low voice.
"Uh..." The auctioneer had nothing to say. He could only blame the previous auction for going too smoothly. He had skipped out on the rules and did not mention them. This was his dereliction of duty. Since Dongfang Qing Yu had pointed it out, he could only admit it. He looked at the masked man with anticipation, hoping that the masked man would help him pass this trial. However, after a few seconds, the masked man did not make a sound.
The masked man disappointed him.
"Is this the standard of a professional auctioneer at the Temple Auction?" In a private room on the second floor, Mount Tai's Feng Chan's voice rang out.
"He's here too!" A smile appeared on Dongfang Qingyu's face.
With someone taking the lead, the players in the hall immediately followed suit.
"Even the support is so fresh and refined. It's understandable that the hosting standards are different. Everyone, don't be too harsh on them. We have to tolerate them!"
"Makes sense. Just like how I trained my pet dog, we can't measure the other party with our own intelligence. We have to be patient!"
"As long as everyone gives a little love, the world will become so beautiful!"
...
"1100 gold coins and 1 copper coin once, 1100 gold coins and 1 copper coin twice. 1100 gold coins and one copper coin thrice, deal!" The auctioneer pounded his hammer hard, even though he had been through a lot. His face was as red as a monkey's butt.
This would become a humiliation that he was afraid of never being able to wash away in history, and it would never be broken, because basically, nothing about the copper coin would ever happen again. Being scolded wasn't scary. Everyone would be scolded, and what was scary was that it was an irrecoverable record.
In the following auctions, the auctioneer's performance was obviously abnormal, and the masked man was also absent-minded. It allowed the human players to gain quite a bit of benefits. Many of the players who were prepared to spend a large amount of money bought their equipment at a relatively cheap price.
"Phoenix blood!"
Upon hearing this name, Dongfang Qing Yu could not help but sit up straight. This was one of the main materials required for the Phoenix Physical Exercise Technique, and it was extremely rare. The herbs on the abbot's immortal mountain were plentiful. He had gathered all the materials needed for the 'Phoenix Body Tempering Art'. Only the phoenix blood was left.
"A drop of phoenix blood. It is a precious medicine that can be used to refine medicine, refine artifacts, and temper one's body. The base price is 100 gold coins. Each increment must not be lower than 10 gold coins." As soon as the auctioneer's voice fell, Dongfang Qingyu made his bid.
"1000 gold coins!"
A drop of blood worth 1 million gold coins shocked everyone!
"Is there anyone else who wants to increase the price?" The bidder's eyes went blank for a moment, then he turned to Dongfang Qingyu and asked, Is there anyone else who wants to increase the bid? He was deeply immersed in his thoughts. The players were still weighing the pros and cons of offending Dongfang Qing Yu for a drop of blood. The masked man, who had been silent for a long time, spoke.
"1500 gold!" Hatred shone in his eyes.
"2000 gold coins!" Dongfang Qingyu looked at the masked man and smiled. "Even if you add 1 gold coin, I will add 500 gold coins. Do you want to bet?"
The masked man struggled and finally lowered his head. He did not dare to bet. He was here to make money. If he shouted the price and Dongfang Qingyu did not follow, then he needed to make up for the loss of phoenix blood.
When the auctioneer saw this, he revealed a disappointed expression and smashed the hammer unwillingly.
"Coward!" Dongfang Qingyu only mouthed a few words and did not make a sound. However, the masked man recognized him and was so angry that his whole body trembled. In a situation where he was angry, he couldn't keep his calm. Without a calm heart, the masked man made multiple mistakes in his bid. The two items had already exceeded the expectations of the owner and were no longer able to keep up.
It was probably because the pressure was too great that he did not dare to speak up for the next few times, allowing the human players to take advantage of the situation. Time passed very quickly, and the final item appeared.
Taisui, this was a treasure that even top players coveted!
