Chapter 634 Raise the Price Crazily!

“Hello, everyone.”

A person came out from behind the wall of the auction stage. Under the light, he looked at the dense crowd with a smile on his face and said, “Thank you for taking the time of your busy schedules to participate in this temporary auction!”

As people took a closer look, the person on the stage was the middle-aged manager who was in charge of arranging this auction.

The middle-aged manager smiled and said, “Sorry to keep you waiting. I now announce that the auction begins. Please invite the auctioneer to come on stage.”

After he said that, a young man in a professional auctioneer’s suit stepped onto the stage. The middle-aged manager also went backstage.

“Good morning, ladies and gentlemen.”

At first, the auctioneer bowed to everyone in a very gentlemanly manner, and then said, “Welcome to this auction. I am Li Jun, the registered auctioneer of Huaxia. Today’s auction will be hosted by me. I feel very honored, and I also hope to bring you good luck.

“Next, let me announce today’s auction rules.

“First of all, we will auction all kinds of weapons today. There are a total of 50 weapons in this auction, including 35 swords, 3 sabers, 1 pair of claws, 1 dagger, among which 31 are ordinary weapons and 19 are treasure weapons.

“Today, we will adapt the way of increasing auction. Everyone knows the rules of the bidding, so I won’t say anything more.

“Next, let’s welcome the first item to the stage!”

As the auctioneer spoke, a woman in a professional suit immediately came out backstage. She was holding a small weapon rack with a long sword on it.

“This sword is called Crouching Dragon.”

The auctioneer pointed at the sword with a smile and said, “It is a weapon made of Thousand-Piece Steel. Not only is it suitable for practicing, but it is also good for carrying and nurturing all the time. The body of the sword, along with the hilt, is made of Thousand-Piece Steel. It was made by a famous casting master in Longquan, using a secret method. Not only the blade is sharp, but the overall flexibility is also incredible. If the person who uses it is over 500 kilograms, they can even slash steel with this sword!”

As people heard this, they started to speak in whispers in the auction house.

It seemed that many people were interested in this sword.

After all, although most people came here for the Guru Sword, how many people could afford it? It was good enough for them to take a look at it. Except for those large forces, some individuals who came alone to the auction could only look at the low-class treasure swords and ordinary long swords.

“The starting price of this sword is 50,000, and the price will be increased by 10,000 per time.”

As soon as the auctioneer finished speaking, someone immediately began bidding.

“What the f*ck, they’re selling a sword for 50,000?” He Gaoming was dumbfounded.

Fang Qiu shook his head and said, “That’s relatively low. Long Qiyun’s manual fee is 500,000. This sword might not be made by a famous person. Otherwise, the starting price would not be so low.”

He Gaoming nodded and said, “Indeed. Although the treasure sword is very expensive, the quality of the sword itself is also very important. If the quality is not good, the price will be greatly reduced.

“Alas, if I had known earlier, I would have gone to learn how to forge iron and sword. How could I be a detective!”

Fang Qiu was rendered speechless.

Looking at the first row, he saw that the four families, the people of the government, and more than a dozen medium-sized families didn’t have the desire to bid at all. Instead, they leisurely enjoyed the tea served by the waiter.

On the auction stage, the first item was sold successfully. Its final price was 130,000.

“It seems that people will bid blindly,” Fang Qiu murmured.

Then, the second, third, fourth, and fifth item were all ordinary items.

When the five items were added together, they were worth 500,000 yuan in total.

When it came to the sixth item, the auctioneer’s voice suddenly grew louder.

The auctioneer introduced and said, “The next item is a treasure sword. Let’s see the sixth item.”

A treasure sword?

When everyone heard this word, they immediately cheered up and drew their attention on the auction stage.

“This is a fifth-class treasure sword!” After the weapon was put on the stage, the auctioneer began to give it a big build-up.

Obviously, this was one of the two fifth-class swords that Fang Qiu had commissioned the auction agency to auction.

There was no doubt that the appearance of the first sword immediately aroused many people’s desire to compete, especially the fourth-class Martial Superiors who couldn’t break through for a long time. They all tried to seize this opportunity and wanted to take this fifth-class sword.

As a result, after a round of bidding, the first treasure sword’s bidding was finally set at 1,700,000.

It was 200,000 higher than Fang Qiu had expected.

Then, some ordinary weapons appeared on the stage.

During this period, the second fifth-class sword also appeared on the stage at the right time. This time, because it was specifically marked as the last fifth-class treasure sword in this auction, the final price was 100,000 higher than the previous one, reaching 1,800,000.

Two fifth-class swords were sold at the price of 3,500,000.

In general, it was 500,000 higher than what Fang Qiu and the middle-aged manager had expected, which made Fang Qiu quite satisfied.

If even a fifth-class sword could be sold for such a high price, then the price of the powerful weapons, which were about to go on stage, would obviously be even more unexpected.

“Master, you’re going to earn a fortune this time.”

He Gaoming whispered in Fang Qiu’s ear, “I thought it would be very good if a fifth-class weapon could sell for 1,000,000. I didn’t expect it to be sold at such a high price.”

“Isn’t it good to be higher?” Fang Qiu rolled his eyes at He Gaoming.

He was not surprised at all that He Gaoming knew that these swords belonged to him, because He Gaoming had secretly taken one of them away when he had been casting swords in the Long family.

That was the sixth-class sword cast by Fang Qiu.

Therefore, He Gaoming must have known it.

“Haha, master, you can’t be the one who made the Guru Sword, can you?” He Gaoming asked in a low voice.

Fang Qiu ignored him.

He Gaoming smiled wryly.

He knew that Fang Qiu wanted to make money by selling weapons. He also discerned that Fang Qiu could cast a sword with aura. However, the only thing he didn’t know was whether the Guru Sword was made by Fang Qiu or not. Even now, he still couldn’t be sure.

“The next item is a treasure sword!” After selling a few ordinary weapons, the auctioneer raised his voice again.

When the sword came onto the stage, the auctioneer said directly, “A sixth-class treasure sword! The starting price of this item is 3,000,000, and the increased price is no less than 100,000 each time!”

A sound rang out as soon as he finished speaking. Beep!

The auctioneer stared at a monitor on the auction stage, which showed the seats map of the entire auction house. Once someone raised the price, the seat where the bidder was would turn red. Next to it, it would also show the seat number and bidding price.

“Row 61, No. 8, bids 3,100,000.”

“Row 96, No. 72, bids 3,200,000.”

“Row 100, No. 56, bids 3,300,000.”

The auctioneer’s voice was heard continuously.

At that moment, everyone began to enter the real bidding war.

“Master, do you want to stir it up?” He Gaoming asked with a sneaky smile.

Fang Qiu said, “I don’t mind if you have the money.”

“Just forget what I’ve said.” He Gaoming gave a wry smile.

Where could he get so much money? This price was more than 3,000,000. He couldn’t afford it even if he gave away all his property.

Fang Qiu had no intention of bidding either.

After all, this was the first sixth-class treasure sword. What was really valuable was still behind it. If he bid from the very beginning, it would be very easy to be suspected by others.

Soon, the auction of the first sixth-class sword was over.

The final price was fixed at 4,000,000.

This price was similar to what Fang Qiu had expected. Because the major forces didn’t bid for it and even the medium and small forces didn’t intervene in the competition, it was not bad for him to sell it at this price.

Just as everyone was looking forward to the second sixth-class treasure sword, a pair of ordinary iron claws appeared on the stage, which disappointed many people that were full of expectations.

The auction continued.

After selling a few more ordinary weapons, the auctioneer clapped his hands as he saw the atmosphere on the scene become dull again. “It seems that our distinguished guests here also like the ordinary weapons prepared for our auction. Before we could notice, all of them were sold out. Next, only the treasure weapons are left to be auctioned.”

Upon hearing this, many people cursed in their hearts. “What do you mean by ‘like’?”

Auctioning off those ordinary weapons was simply a waste of time!

However, as people refuted, all of them in the room were in high spirits.

After all the ordinary weapons were sold out, the rest would be treasure swords!

It was time to fight for them!

The auctioneer waved his hand and said, “Okay, let’s cut to the chase. Let’s see the next item.”

Hearing this, a staff member immediately walked out with a wooden sword rack.

As people saw the long sword on the rack in the staff’s hand, everyone on the scene was amazed.

Fang Qiu was also surprised because there were two long swords on this rack!

When the staff member put the rack on the stage, the auctioneer said excitedly, “You’re right. This time, there are two swords!

“These two swords are both sixth-class. Both of them have the identification certificate of Chic Cloud Pavilion. You can rest assured and bid for them!

“I don’t need to say much about the benefits of a sixth-class sword.

“Now I announce that the starting price of this item is 6,000,000. And the price markup each time is no less than 100,000!

“The bidding begins!”

The auctioneer symbolically hit the table with a small wooden hammer on the auction stage.

This time, some small forces couldn’t sit back in any longer.

One sixth-class sword might not be of much use, but two swords were of great use to some small forces.

Beep, beep, beep… A series of bidding sounds rang out.

“Row 73, No.5, 6,800,000!”

In the blink of an eye, the bidding price had increased by 800,000. And the price was still rising.

6,900,000.

7,000,000.

7,200,000.

7,500,000.

After the price rose all the way to 7,000,000, the number of bidders began to decrease gradually. When it reached 7,500,000, no one competed for them anymore.

This scene made He Gaoming, who had been focusing on the auction all the time, anxious. He quickly turned his head to stare at Fang Qiu and said, “Master, these people are making trouble. They sold one sixth-class sword for 4,000,000. Now, two sixth-class swords are only 7,500,000. Is no one going to raise the price?”

“Let’s wait and see.” Fang Qiu frowned.

He did not want to encounter such a situation, but if he did, he would rather not sell these swords!

Anyway, there was no processing fee. Wouldn’t it be the same as not selling them if he bought them and paid for it by himself?
