Half a month later, the Memorial Auction that Qin Shi had been waiting for was finally going to take place.
Qin Shi stood up from his room. Little Mi Cai and Li Qi were already waiting outside. Seeing Qin Shi, Li Qi walked up excitedly and said, "Hehe, Big Brother, hurry up, hurry up. Today is the decennial Memorial Auction. I wasn't able to attend last time because I had some matters to attend. This time, I must personally witness its true appearance."
Hearing this, Qin Shi smiled bitterly. After a few days of interaction, he realized that Li Qi seemed to have a very special love for auctions. In the half a month that he had been cultivating, he had lost count of the number of auctions he had participated in. There were even a few times when he had auctioned off some gifts for him and Little Mi Cai. The gifts he had given him were some miraculous pills that could aid in one's breakthrough, as well as some talisman master's items such as the Beast Trapping Hoop.
As for Little Mi Cai, it was naturally some Beast Cores and Blood Essences.
However, Qin Shi also realized that although this kid loved auctions, it was only the auctions organized by the Memorial Auction House. One must know that in Merchant City, the most prosperous business district in the entire continent, other than the Memorial Auction House, there were naturally many auction houses of different sizes. In this half a month, there were no less than a hundred auctions organized. However, this kid had never attended any of them. Qin Shi had also asked him for the reason a few times, but Li Qi's reply made him feel extremely helpless. It was just a single sentence, "I don't like them."
But thinking about it, this kid could casually take out tens of thousands of red beans. It would be strange if he would care about the auction items in those small auctions.
"Let's go."
Qin Shi wrapped his black robe tightly around himself and smiled confidently. He walked side by side with Li Qi and the other two towards the giant tower in the center of Merchant City. Today's Memorial Auction would be held on the sixty-sixth floor of the giant tower, which was also the highest floor.
The three of them walked with their heads held high. When they arrived at the bottom of the giant tower, Li Qi took out three gold cards from his bosom and handed them to Qin Shi and Little Mi Cai respectively. "Big Brother, these are the gold seats that I got earlier. Later, as long as we have these gold cards, we will be able to sit in the first three rows of the auction house. How about it?
Did you immediately fall in love with me? "
Seeing the Gold Card, Qin Shi was a little surprised. He had heard about the Gold Card of the Memorial Auction. It couldn't be bought with money. It could only be obtained by a force with a noble identity. However, this kid had taken out three of them at the same time. It could be imagined how strong his background was.
Qin Shi thought to himself, "It seems that I have underestimated this kid."
With Li Qi's gold card, the three of them had a smooth journey and received extraordinary treatment. When he showed his gold card, the jade face of the receptionist, who was initially disdainful of Qin Shi's attire, changed. The look of surprise and admiration on her face was very obvious.
"Three sirs, please follow me."
A girl did not dare to be negligent as she led the way for the three of them. They entered through the VIP passage of the giant tower. This was a spiral staircase that led straight to the top of the 66th tower. The walls of the staircase were engraved with golden murals. There were coiling dragons and crouching tigers, true dragons and phoenixes, all of them were extremely lifelike.
"This Memorial Auction is really extravagant. The walls are all engraved with Glazed Crystal?
Not to mention the fact that this huge tower has sixty-six floors, how many Mysterious Crystals have been used up? The Mysterious Crystals themselves are treasures that have been refined for thousands of years in this world. They contain extremely pure Spiritual Qi and their outer appearance is incomparably hard. If one wants to carve or paint on them, just the amount of manpower required would probably be a huge amount. "Qin Shi raised his head and looked at the paintings around him. He couldn't help but sigh in admiration in his heart.
This was just the beginning. What Qin Shi did not know was that there was more to come. When the four of them walked up the staircase to the top of the 66th floor, the scene that greeted their eyes completely shocked them.
The top of the tower was an open-air auction house. In the middle of it was an auction house that could accommodate ten thousand people. Around the auction house, there were auspicious clouds that lingered. The faint white color gave off a very comfortable feeling.
If the 66th floor's dazzling golden passageway was said to be extravagant, then in Qin Shi's eyes, the auction house on the top floor was a paradise that returned to simplicity.
This strong contrast made Qin Shi feel respect and he nodded to himself.
"Big Brother, hurry up. Our seats are in the first three rows. Since there aren't many people, let's hurry and choose a seat that faces the stage."
While Qin Shi was shocked, Li Qi was not surprised at all. He pulled Qin Shi along and walked to the front row.
The three of them stopped at the third row. Then, after careful consideration, Li Qi found three seats with good angles and sat down.
"Big Brother, what do you think of my taste?
Isn't this place not bad? "Li Qi praised himself.
Qin Shi nodded in satisfaction. This place was indeed not bad. It had a view in all directions and could look directly at the stage in the middle. It could be said to be the golden seat of an ordinary auction house.
In the following process, the number of people in the auction house increased. In less than three minutes before the start of the memorial auction, the seats that could accommodate ten thousand people were already filled. Moreover, there were many standing tickets in the periphery. In total, there were close to a hundred thousand people.
"That's ridiculous. This is probably the biggest auction I've ever seen."
"A hundred thousand people? That's a little ridiculous."
"But it's no wonder. After all, this auction is an important one even in the merchant city that happens once every ten years. As long as one has some ability, I'm afraid they wouldn't want to miss it." Qin Shi replied to the Blood Shaman.
The Blood Sorcerer nodded. At this moment, a fierce look flashed in his eyes. He looked in front of him, which surprised Qin Shi. When he looked up, his face darkened.
"The Han Family!"
In the second row, diagonally across from Qin Shi, the Great Elder of the Han Family slowly sat down. When Qin Shi's gaze landed on him, he also felt it and turned around. When he saw Qin Shi, he was slightly surprised. Then, he smiled strangely, full of provocation.
Squeak!
Qin Shi clenched his fist. "This old dog!"
"Little fella, don't be rash. A gentleman's revenge is a dish best served cold. Now is not the time to provoke him." The Blood Sorcerer's voice was suddenly heard. Only then did Qin Shi calm down.
Shortly after, he took a deep breath and calmed his agitated emotions. He nodded and said, "Yes, no matter what, let's get the Ten Thousand Years Blood Lingzhi Mushroom first."
After waiting for a while, three minutes finally passed. In the last few seconds, everyone held their breaths and silently counted.
Suddenly, the entire place became extremely dark. Even the white clouds turned into a haze. Suddenly, an extremely dazzling light shone down from the heavens, illuminating the center of the stage from the darkness.
Shortly after, under the gaze of tens of thousands of people, Liu Feifei's graceful figure stepped onto the stage. Twisting her graceful figure, she chuckled and announced the exciting opening speech, "Hello, everyone. I'm honored to be the host of this auction for everyone."
"First of all, I would like to thank everyone for coming to participate in our Memorial Auction. It is the most important Memorial Auction that is only held once every ten years."
"I believe that everyone knows what this auction is all about. This isn't just an auction, it's also a kind of glory."
"Alright, I won't beat around the bush. Everyone's purpose for coming here is naturally to see the auction item that we have prepared for everyone. So, let's get straight to the point. Next up is the first auction item of our auction, the High Grade Spiritual Sword, Crouching Dragon's Roar."
It had to be said that Liu Feifei's flawless opening words were extremely clear. Most importantly, her auction method was always simple and violent. She would not drag things out too much, which was very popular.
She was also very capable. She used the shortest words to directly push the auction to the peak.
Bang!
A crisp sound rang out from the rubbing of her jade-like fingers.
A one-handed longsword was pushed onto the stage from the ice at the bottom of the sea. On the hilt of the longsword, there was a sleeping giant dragon. On its back were two strong dragon wings that were half covered and half covered. It was very mysterious.
As soon as the sword appeared, a formless dragon roar seemed to reverberate through the entire auction hall. This caused even Qin Shi to be excited. "What a good Crouching Dragon's Roar. I didn't expect the Memorial Auction to bring out a High Grade Spiritual Weapon at the start."
"Yes, she's trying to use a High Grade Spiritual Weapon to stir up the atmosphere like in the previous auction. However, the value of this sword is far higher than the Tribulation Pill from before."
Hearing that, Qin Shi couldn't help but smile bitterly. Was there a need to say that?
How could a Tribulation Pill be compared to a High Grade Spiritual Weapon?
This could be determined from the already heated atmosphere and the endless high-end auction prices.
"5,000!"
"10,000!"
"30,000!"
"50,000!"
In the blink of an eye, the price of this sword had already surpassed the highest price of the previous auction.
Everyone was in an uproar. However, Qin Shi discovered an extremely miraculous thing. Even though the price of the Spiritual Sword continued to climb, the people sitting in the first three rows all closed their eyes. Not a single one of them opened their mouths to bid.
This was something Qin Shi didn't expect.
"How interesting," Qin Shi thought to himself.
At this time, the auction of the sword finally came to an end. At the price of 56,000 red beans, it was purchased by a member of the royal family from an empire.
From the beginning to the end, Qin Shi didn't say a word. Even though he yearned for this sword, he knew the purpose of this trip. Therefore, he didn't want to waste any of his savings other than the Ten Thousand Year Blood Lingzhi Mushroom.
Even though Li Qi had promised to help him, he still didn't know Li Qi's background. He couldn't put everything on Li Qi. Otherwise, if anything unexpected happened, he would be caught off guard.
Since this concerned Sister Yu's recovery, he didn't dare to be careless.
While Qin Shi was pondering over the matter, the items were auctioned off one after another. In the blink of an eye, the auction had reached its climax. At this moment, a bracelet with sealing abilities was pushed onto the stage. After a brief moment of silence, it became the second treasure to bring the atmosphere to a climax after the Crouching Dragon's Roar.
