Chapter 1500 - 1500 Spirit Tea Auction


1500 Spirit Tea Auction


Chi Shuyan had been to the Jing Auction House so many times, but had only partic.i.p.ated in one auction. She had long forgotten how the auction worked. Now, Manager Qian had suddenly extended an invitation, and when she found out that her spirit tea would be sold at this auction, she looked forward to it. She nodded in agreement. “Okay, I’ll go take a look!”


After a while, the auction started. The main hall downstairs was filled with people. The auctioneer on stage said a few words to welcome them to the Jing Auction House, and the auction officially began.


A beautiful woman in a cheongsam came on stage with a tray covered in silk. She placed it on the table and left.


The auctioneer immediately pulled off the cloth and started describing the item. “First off, we have this fiery-red Phoenix Whip, which is a very practical and useful weapon. The opening bid is 500,000 yuan, and each increment must be no less than 100,000. Let the auction begin!”


“600,000!”

!!

“700,000!”


“One million!”


“1.1 million!”


The atmosphere in the main hall of the Jing Auction House was quite lively. Not long after, the price reached 2 million, and no more bids were called out. Everyone here had seen the world; while the color of this Phoenix Whip was quite attractive, it was impossible for this whip to have been made from a real phoenix feather. It was made from some ordinary bird feather, and wouldn’t be too powerful, so naturally, no one was a sucker.


Chi Shuyan sat by the window and watched seriously. She also took in the ‘Phoenix Whip’ on the auction table. Seeing that the bid on this thing had reached 2 million, the auctioneer had already begun to close the deal. “2 million going once, 2 million going twice. Any more bids? If not, sold for 2 million!”


In the end, the Phoenix Whip was auctioned off for 2 million.


After the Phoenix Whip, the Jing Auction House auctioned off a few rare herbs that were 100 years old. There was even a Golden Lotus which was the main ingredient for refining the Advancement Pill. It was only 100 years old, but century-old herbs were already very rare in today’s society, and you might not be able to buy them even if you had the money. So, as soon as the bidding started for this herb, everyone immediately started shouting out prices. The opening bid for this Golden Lotus was a million, and in the end, someone actually called out 10 million.


Chi Shuyan sucked in her breath. Speaking of which, she had never lacked money. Occasionally, she would earn tens of millions from catching ghosts. She could be considered a small tyc.o.o.n, but a rare 100-year-old herb was sold for 10 million. Chi Shuyan was quite glad that she had agreed to cut a medicinal pill deal with the Jing Auction House.


Otherwise, no matter how good she was at refining pills, she wouldn’t be able to afford many of these herbs, to say nothing of some rare 1,000-year-old herbs. Chi Shuyan pursed her lips, feeling like she had suffered a blow.


As Chi Shuyan remained silent, the Golden Lotus was bought for 10 million. In fact, the Advancement Pill was very popular in any world. The Advancement Pill allowed a cultivator to directly break through their bottleneck. In other words, if a cultivator was stuck at a bottleneck in their cultivation for a long time, they would need an Advancement Pill at that moment in order to break through and advance. It was just that the pill formula for the Advancement Pill had long been lost, and very few alchemists knew how to refine this pill. On top of that, the Advancement Pill was quite difficult to refine. Even if an alchemist had the Golden Lotus, they might not necessarily succeed.


That was why this 100-year-old Golden Lotus only sold for 10 million. If it was an Advancement Pill itself, the bid could probably increase by dozens or even hundreds of times, and even then, people would still be fighting over it.


Thinking this, Chi Shuyan immediately looked at the Golden Lotus. It was a pity that this herb had already been auctioned off.


Following the sale of the Golden Lotus, the Jing family’s spirit tea was put up for auction. It could be seen how popular the spirit tea was. When it appeared, it was immediately s.n.a.t.c.hed up.


Chi Shuyan was still wondering what good stuff would follow the Jing family’s spirit tea, when she saw the auctioneer pick up the silk cloth – on the tray was her spirit tea.


Compared with the distinguished packaging of the Jing family’s spirit tea, the packaging of Chi Shuyan’s spirit tea could be said to be simple and crude. The auctioneer was probably affected by the packaging and the fact that this wasn’t the Jing family’s spirit tea. He was a bit stupefied and didn’t know how to introduce this spirit tea for a moment. Fortunately, Qian Zhengde quickly walked onto the stage and took the initiative to introduce it. “Everyone, this spirit tea was refined by a very famous alchemist. Although it’s not the Jing family’s spirit tea, its effects aren’t much worse than ours.”


Qian Zhengde still felt a little guilty when he lied through his teeth. Firstly, he didn’t think that this spirit tea could compare with what their Jing family personally cultivated. Secondly, he had never tasted this spirit tea and didn’t know its effects, so he wasn’t confident. However, when he thought of Miss Chi’s talent in alchemy, Qian Zhengde had the courage to continue and praise her in particular.


It was a pity that everyone in the hall subsided when they saw that the packaging was clearly inferior to that of the Jing family’s spirit tea, not to mention that this came out right after the Jing family’s spirit tea, which was the only tea which they accepted; any other in comparison would be an imitation. Most importantly, the price of this knockoff spirit tea wasn’t lower than that of the Jing family’s spirit tea, and it started at a million yuan.


So, even after Qian Zhengde finished speaking, the atmosphere in the hall was deathly silent, and no one called out any bids.


At the thought that Miss Chi was watching upstairs, Qian Zhengde regretted not finding a s.h.i.+ll bidder for this spirit tea. At least, the atmosphere wouldn’t be as awkward as it was now.


Fortunately, at that moment, someone suddenly called out, “1.1 million!”


It was the rich and imposing young man who had snapped up the Golden Lotus just now. As soon as he called out, his companions exclaimed, “You’re f*cking crazy!”


Qian Zhengde was afraid that the other party would go back on his word, so before he could do so, he immediately brought down the gavel and decisively sold the spirit tea for 1.1 million!
