Chapter 159: Give Me a 20% Discount!
Dragon Slayer Daoist.
The strong figure worshiped by the Qian Family, said to possess strength beyond that of a military general with a terrifying ability to slice through rivers!
To have invited this deity, does he intend to avenge an old grudge today?
Lord Dog became nervous.
After all, Dragon Slayer Daoist is extraordinarily powerful!
However, when Qian Tianao passed by him, he didn't show any intention of making a drastic move, just coldly uttered a word and went to his seat.
Lord Dog then breathed a sigh of relief.
But at the same time, he was very puzzled, as this behavior was completely out of character for Qian Tianao!
"Mr. Qin, we should be careful!"
Lord Dog quietly reminded Qin Feng.
"It's alright."
Qin Feng nonchalantly waved his hand.
He never took Qian Tianao and his ilk seriously.
In a moment.
With the arrival of Yu Wanli, Gu Wanshan, and Li Baigu, all of the Southwest Eight Kings had arrived!
The Eight Kings gathered together.
Such a scene was rarely seen!
Those accompanying them were either treasure appraisal experts or other esteemed figures they had invited, providing a feast for the eyes!
Their seats, naturally, were also in the frontmost eight round tables.
It could be said that these eight tables symbolized the highest power in the Southwest, and every individual seated there was a powerhouse!
However.
Only Qin Feng, sitting together with Mu Jiangyue, seemed out of place.
It appeared to significantly lower the level of those eight tables.
Even giving off the feeling of a single rat's dropping ruining a whole pot of soup.
"Damn, that kid's too lucky!" a frustrated boss muttered from the back.
"Yes! An absolute freeloader and waste, yet he has the privilege to sit in the front row, it's infuriating!" others also grumbled.
In a moment.
A tall and beautiful woman in a white cheongsam decorated with orchids appeared on stage, gave a few opening remarks, and then announced the start of the auction!
The first item, a Jade Pendant.
The Jade Pendant was made of Nephrite Jade.
Carved on it was a vividly lifelike Bodhisattva.
It almost seemed to radiate spiritual energy.
One glance made the Bodhisattva seem alive, and one could faintly hear some heartfelt mantras, instantly calming the mind.
"Guanyin for men, Buddha for women, the magical qualities of this Jade Bodhisattva need no further introduction, starting bid, three million!"
The cheongsam beauty declared.
Bidding quickly ensued.
However, the price was not very high, and after a few minutes, it had only reached five million, as there were many similar items on the black market, such as the unique Lavender Qin Feng had bought for Su Ruolan.
"Five million, the first time!"
"Five million, the second time!"
"Five million, the th..."
"Six million!" Mu Jiangyue suddenly raised her placard.
Everyone was surprised.
Guanyin for men, Buddha for women, there seemed to be no use for her to buy it.
After Mu Jiangyue secured it for six million.
People turned to see her handing the Jade Pendant to Qin Feng, saying, "I can't wear it, so I'm giving it to you!"
Pfft!
Everyone was green with envy towards Qin Feng!
Not only did he score such a beautiful woman, but she was also so kind to him!
Qin Feng was also astonished, looking at Mu Jiangyue.
Mu Jiangyue's eyelids trembled slightly as she turned her gaze away, saying, "This is a thank you gift for you."
"Thank you..." Qin Feng said.
The second treasure, already put on display, is several spirit talismans with clawed and toothed designs.
"This is the Spirit Talisman made by Baiyun Daoist from the White Cloud Temple. It can exorcise evil spirits, manipulate clouds and rain, and cause fires to sprawl… There are a total of eight talismans, starting bid, twenty million!" The cheongsam beauty said.
"This thing is not bad."
Qin Feng said.
What puzzled him, though, was why no one was bidding?
There were only increases of one hundred thousand to two hundred thousand.
A few minutes later.
It had only reached twenty-one million, and then there was silence.
Not just him.
Even the cheongsam beauty on the stage looked somewhat puzzled.
Seeing no one wanted it, Qin Feng straightforwardly raised his sign: "Twenty-two million!"
In the end.
He acquired it for twenty-two million.
Since this was a private auction, payment and transaction had to be made on the spot.
Qin Feng was about to swipe his card, but Mu Jiangyue had already stepped ahead to swipe hers.
The people behind were extremely jealous, "Damn, living off a woman…"
Qin Feng said to Mu Jiangyue: "You don't have to do this, I brought my card."
Pfft!!
The crowd spit blood.
"This guy really knows how to pretend!"
"I heard he became a live-in son-in-law in Lake City, only has six hundred in pocket money, what's he pretending here for..."
"..."
At this moment, Mu Jiangyue, hearing the people's remarks about Qin Feng, felt it hurt Qin Feng's face, so she discreetly passed a bank card to Qin Feng under the table and whispered, "I'll cover all the expenses as a token of gratitude."
"Really unnecessary."
Qin Feng waved his hand in refusal.
He had made over one hundred and eighty million gambling on stones in the black market, and also had plenty left after buying items there.
Next.
Is a jade bottle the size of a water cup, called "Small Jade Purifying Bottle."
It is said that no matter what twigs are placed inside it, they remain vibrant and bright as if it's spring all year round, with a starting bid of four million.
Still, no one was willing to bid high.
In the end, Qin Feng got it for four million two hundred thousand.
Looking at the eight Spirit Talismans and the Small Jade Purifying Bottle, Qin Feng muttered, "These two items wouldn't be priced low on the black market, why did no one bid?"
"The target audience is off, and the auction location was poorly chosen," Mu Jiangyue said, "Firstly, this place is too close to the black market. For treasures passed down from the Hidden World, everyone would usually find similar items there on any ordinary day. Clearly, the person behind the auction is an outsider."
"Secondly, if I'm not wrong, the reason the host chose the Southwest, particularly Dragon Mountain City in the middle of the Five Southwestern Provinces, is because of the Southwest Eight Kings, intending to sell to them." Mu Jiangyue continued, "Only the financial power of the Eight Kings could buy these treasures as if they're mere gifts."
"But, several rounds have gone by, and they still haven't made a move."
Qin Feng said, puzzled.
"I'm also very curious."
Mu Jiangyue slightly furrowed her brows, pondered a moment, and said, "As far as I know, they value this auction very highly, having invited treasure appraisal experts to evaluate these treasures beforehand, yet now not to buy anything…"
"Right!"
She suddenly realized something and said, "There's only one reason that can explain it - they are all waiting for a heavyweight treasure to appear— Dragon Crystal Stone! So they have been saving money, wanting to secure the Dragon Crystal Stone!"
"Now I see..."
Qin Feng had a sudden realization.
With a smile on his face, he said, "Then this works out perfectly."
Following.
The Thunder Drawing Compass, ancient boxing manuscripts, some Spiritual Medicines, and more, all made their appearance.
But there were very few competitors.
All were overwhelmingly obtained by Qin Feng.
Even.
There was a Buddhist beads necklace from Master Yun Kong starting at eight million. With no one bidding a single penny, Qin Feng directly called out to the cheongsam beauty, "Give me a 20% discount, I'll take it!"
Finally, he got it for over six million...
"Tsk tsk, these people really don't know the goods. Master Yun Kong is a famous abbot, if his items were up for auction, it might have fetched seventy to eighty million, now gotten for just over six million..."
Qin Feng said, very satisfied.
