AWB Chapter 382: Xingluo Kingdom Emperor's Reward
Chapter 382: Xingluo Kingdom Emperor's Reward
In Puyang City, the auction price of the "Xuanbing Juling Armor" has reached nearly 3.5 million taels of gold.
The battle-hardened steward had to hold on to a pillar to keep his balance. He couldn't remember how many years it had been since a treasure had been sold at such a high price.
The host's voice was almost hoarse from shouting. Every time he thought the deal was ready after the third hammer, someone else would come out and raise the price.
Fortunately, there are only three companies left competing now, and the other one that has been competing has been silent for a long time.
Unexpectedly, when the bidding price reached 3.6 million taels of gold, the box that had been silent for a long time actually asked the waiter next to it to make a "sky lantern" gesture!
The host, who had excellent control over the situation, was stunned for a long time before he realized it and quickly said:
"My fellow immortals, a fellow immortal has already lit the Sky Lantern in Box 36. Please consider bidding accordingly!"
To light a sky lantern means to be determined to win the treasure being auctioned.
No matter how high the bids made by the live bidders are, they will definitely follow through to the end!
Furthermore, bidders cannot maliciously inflate their bids in order to inflict damage on the other party.
Every time you bid, you must prove that you can really come up with that amount before you can bid.
There were mixed reactions in the three private rooms where fierce bidding had just taken place.
The people from Yuheng Country looked at each other, and the middle-aged man in the lead spread his hands:
"Forget it, since the other party wants it so badly, let's not fight with them. In the end, it should still be theirs."
The Fire Dragon and Ice Dragon tribes were actually a little jealous, thinking that the other tribe was competing, and made almost the same decision:
He would invest all his money into it, and even if he couldn't win, he would try to force the other party to pay the highest price to buy this top-grade and priced defensive magic weapon!
This led to the entire Lingyuan Kingdom bidding a whopping 30 million taels of gold to buy this "Xuanbing Juling Armor"!
The hands of the two female officials from the Treasure Casting Department were shaking when they received the "Xuanbing Gathering Spirit Armor".
"Sister Daxin, we've spent nearly one-tenth of the national treasury in one go. Will the Empress really not hold us accountable?"
"Probably... not."
When Daxin said this, he wasn't really sure:
"Xiao Xin, I received your encrypted mustard seed bag. Let's take the secret passage back to Lingyuan Kingdom as soon as possible. The Imperial Master needs to be sent directly to his Imperial Master's Mansion!"
Xiao Xin immediately put it away carefully and retreated from the secret passage while muttering:
“If it’s what the Imperial Master wants, then the Empress shouldn’t hold anyone accountable.
Daxin, just relax and get the baby back safely."
She felt that even if the Imperial Master asked for the entire national treasury or even everything in Lingyuan Country, the Empress would hand it over without hesitation.
……
The Puyang branch of Baibaozhai only took a 10% commission from the total auction value, and paid back the amount previously advanced by Shangguan Ziqian according to the original value. In addition to the auction of another 99 auction items, Chu You and his team's net income was as high as more than 35 million gold.
Except for Shangguan Ziqian, everyone else was stunned by this number.
After some discussion, Chu You allocated 500,000 taels of gold to each person's black gold card, and gave the remaining gold to Shangguan Ziqian for safekeeping.
When it comes to the ability to make money from money, no one here can compare to him.
"If I had known we could make so much money, I would have bought more cultivation resources."
Chu You felt extremely regretful, and Shangguan Ziqian immediately comforted her:
“It’s okay. Puyang City’s large-scale auction is held once a year, but there are many large cities in the Immortal Realm where this year’s auction has not yet been held.
Once Wuji Xian Pavilion is running smoothly, we can go to any city that holds an auction to see the excitement."
Their current wealth is not as great as that of the royal family or the core members of the great aristocratic families, but it still ranks among the top in the entire fairy world. They can buy more cultivation resources to strengthen themselves as appropriate.
However, although they secretly made money through auctions, they kept it very secret.
However, the success of "Wuji Xian Ge" has become popular throughout the entire fairy world.
Before they came out of the auction house, they received the good news sent by the three brothers of the Zhou family to the group, saying that the emperor of Xingluo Kingdom had issued a sacred decree, inviting Chu You and the other eighteen people from "Wuyou Xiaozhu" to go to the imperial capital together to receive rewards.
This means that they do not need to participate in various civil and military examinations and can go directly to the imperial capital, where they are very likely to be given an official position.
In this regard, Chu You and others did not have the same excitement and joy as the three brothers of the Zhou family who received the "Emperor's Grace". Instead, they were extremely calm.
Ning Suyan even became a hands-off boss:
"Of course we have to go. I'll say hello to those two Ice Dragons first, lest they run back!"
Although they now have enough money to go to the Ice Dragon Clan, they still try to save as much as possible. It will definitely be smoother if they have a member of the clan to take them along.
So after saying this, Ning Suyan turned into a wisp of ice mist and disappeared.
Chu You and others discussed it and decided to go to the imperial capital of Xingluo Kingdom to meet the emperor, and the "Wuyouxian Pavilion" in Puyang City would be handed over to the three brothers of the Zhou family to manage.
Anyway, they have signed a "life and death contract". As long as the operation is good, it will benefit them in every way and there is no need to worry about them not doing their best.
They had not originally planned to stay in peace in a corner. They needed to constantly experience and break through in the ways of cultivation and life. Although they were a little rushed and had little time to rest, it was at least very fulfilling.
People like Ye Jinyao and Zisha would not be as confused as they were when they first arrived in the fairyland.
The most helpless and confused ones are actually the three brothers of the Zhou family.
The long-term meal ticket that I finally got is about to "fly away" before I can even hold it in my hands.
Even Zhou Anbang's words on the jade slips were filled with worries about the future:
"Boss Chu, Master Shangguan, Wuji Xian Pavilion has just gotten back on track. We three brothers can't afford to ruin its reputation. We will report our operating conditions and data daily. I hope you can give us some pointers!"
Chu You: "Don't worry, I also want to have a steady stream of income."
Shangguan Ziqian: "This year's Baibaozhai large-scale auction has ended, but its reputation has spread. In addition, with the support of Wuyouxian Pavilion, after consideration by the headquarters, small and medium-sized auctions may tilt towards Puyang City.
If we seize the opportunity, the income of 'Wuyouxian Pavilion' will surely be able to be maintained stably.
If you have any questions, you can communicate with us. "
These few words undoubtedly gave the three brothers of the Zhou family a reassurance.
Just when everyone was about to leave Baibaozhai and their stay was almost over, Ning Suyan came back to the box like a whirlwind, bringing back two young men in silver armor and with silver dragon horns on their heads.
She was still cursing:
"Those four bastards really caught me and bullied me, trying to provoke me into a fight. Do they think I'm really afraid?"
