The two men opened up the cage, and a ragged longbow could be seen inside.
" Don't be judged by its look. Our top 4th level armament master researched this bow for a whole 5 years but came with nothing. It was marked as a strange bow from then on. " She further explained.
Seeing the longbow, Joey felt very excited. The human figure root inside his heart moved for the first time and tried to reach out his hand toward the longbow. Then the longbow slightly vibrated weakly. Joey had a strong urge to hold the longbow in his hand.
There was an uproar from the crowd.
" Please, keep silent. This item value starts from 500 silver coins. " She continued.
" 1000 silver coins. " Someone shouted.
" 1550 " Another shouted.
" 50 thousand. " A man shouted from one of the VIP rooms.
"150 thousand. " Joey also called out.
" 300 thousand, " The man shouted again.
" 1 million ." Joey jumped up the betting money.
" 1.5 million. " The man continued.
" 5 million," Joey said out loud again. Many powerful auras passed by through his room, Captain just waved his hand, blocking their essence from passing through the room.
" A strong cultivator is inside that room. Let us not provoke them again ." A man wearing Shi family said from inside his cabin. He was the 10th elder of the Shi family, Shi Kong.
Similarly, elder Wang Xin and elder Xing Xiang were also like Shi Kong. They had become alarmed and looked at the cabin. ( Shi, Wang, Xing, and Zhang were the four great families of the Tang nation .)
The Zhang family just sent their genius Zhang Huang to this auction while the other three families sent their elders here.
" If you do that again, I will not play nice with you all. " Captain Chao shouted from inside the cabin.
" Alright, please continue betting ." Miss Chu Hua said with a smile on her face while everyone exclaimed with adoration.
Joey repeated, " 5 million for that longbow. "
No one bet afterward.
After a few minutes, miss Chu tried to speak out," Anyone else wants to continue the bet "
" 6 million " Zhang Huang suddenly spoke out.
" 10 million " Joey continued his bet.
Miss Chu was all smiles when the first item reached that amount. She brought out a hammer and lightly tapped it.
" The antique longbow is won by the gentleman from booth no. 35. Your item will be delivered to your booth. "
Then two men holding the long wooden case and a lady entered their booth. Joey took the wooden case, kept it in his space ring. The lady took the purple card from Joey and completed their transaction. Afterward, the three left his room.
Then she rang the bell again and a lady came out holding a plate covered by white clothes.
" Our second item is a pill refined by the apothecary master Zen. " She said and the maid removed the white clothes that covered the plate. Everyone could see a small bottle with a white-colored pill inside it.
" The pill inside is one of the signature pill 'Body realm breaker'. Its starting price is 25 thousand silver coins. " She continued. The Body realm breaker pill was used during one's breakthrough from body realm cultivation to the hentian realm.
Then everyone started betting.
" 30,000"
" 35,000 "
" 40 ,000 "
Then the betting continued to increase rapidly. Joey had no interest in the pill but his predecessor had a deep respect for the Master Zen as an icon.
Master Zen was famous for his apothecary skill in the whole Tang nation. He was a madman who loved to spend his time researching new pills and various new herbs. The four great families invited him to be their guest elder with precious gifts. But he sent their gifts back to them.
When the previous emperor invited him, he even rejected saying, " I am too busy. If you want me to make your pill, then come to my house ."
The previous emperor and Master Zen were from the same generation and they had been bosom friends since their childhood. So, the emperor could do nothing to him. Everyone in the whole Tang nation knew the greatness of master Zen.
Afterward, the pill was sold to elder Shi Kong at 500,000 silver coins.
" Ladies and gentleman, listen up. Our last and final item was the Deldrimor steel stone," She said while pointing at a black-colored stone on the table brought out by two men. The black stone had the size of an adult fist.
" The starting price is 100,000 silver coins," She explained with a smile while looking at the audience. Then the betting started again.
" 200,000 silver coins . "
" 250,000"
" 300,000"
When the betting price reached 800,000 silver coins, Joey kept down the wine glass to the side table and started to make his move.
" 10 million silver coins. " Joey shouted from within his booth.
" That spendthrift is doing it again. " Everyone started feeling helpless again.
No one bet after that big jump of numbers. Joey gets the stone without much effort. Also, he just bought it for Bojing as he had already promised to him.
After that, the auction had come to an end.
Afterward, everyone left the auction house.
They made their team near the gate. They got back on the back of horses and were ready to travel back. But suddenly a youth with red hair came out suddenly and blocked their path.
" Boy, get out of the way. " The fatty Xiaobo shouted at the red-haired youth. But the boy ignored him and stared at Joey.
He spoke to him," Are you that spendthrift? I am Zhang Huang. Can we talk alone for a minute? "
" Okay," Joey said. and they walked out.
When they were alone, Zhang Huang started their conversation," Sir, can I exchange the longbow and the stone for something valuable instead. The longbow would not be of any use to you. My grandpa would be very happy to examine that longbow. Ah, also the stone will have many uses for my family. We would make a weapon for you with that stone. " He suggested.
" Sorry, I can't do that. Also, I have promised someone else the black stone. " Joey replied with a smile.
" Then goodbye. If you change your mind, come to my Zhang family in Canon City. " Zhang Huang said and left quickly.
" Oh. The genius Zhang family, Zhang Huang. Good, he seems very direct ."
Afterward, they returned back and spent their night in the Chun Hua motel.
