The auction continued until the item that Bai Chen had been waiting for appeared. It was an old bamboo tube with a genuine bamboo drop inside.
It was just like what Bai Chen had seen in his memories. Not a lot of people cared much about it. Bai Chen only needed to pay 1000 gold coins to get it.
Bai Chen was delighted. He was very happy the price was not that high.
A lot of people were surprised that Bai Chen had chosen to buy that old bamboo tube.
Even someone from the Tien Nan trade association were also surprised—that person was Tien Ying, the female host of the auction.
They did not even know what that old bamboo tube was when they’d decided to put it up for auction.
It was put up for auction only because it was unbelievably hard. Even the head of the Tien Nan trade association, Tien Shang Hai, could not destroy it.
As they could not do anything with it, they’d decided to auction it off in case there were people who wanted it. It ended up as expected, even with the price so low, it gave them no profit.
‘Does he know what that old bamboo tube is?’ Tien Ying was curious. Yet, she did not care much about it.
This was because the Tien Nan trade association did not plan to take what had been sold back.
The auction continued on until the last goods appeared.
The last ones were always the best!
It was as expected. As soon as Tien Ying announced it, everyone in the hall was very surprised. Their faces changed colour. They trembled. Their hearts raced madly.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWang Jong and Wang Tao looked at each other. They saw the shock on each other’s faces.
Zi Tie started to pant heavily. Song Heng’s eyes looked like they were going to shoot lasers. They had goosebumps.
Lei Ba and Hua Lang opened their mouths in awe.
As for Tien Wen and the old man Foo Kong’s, their eyes were so wide, they almost popped out of their sockets. Their breaths seemed to stop short for a split second.
Bai Chen was sitting in the back with his calm and emotionless face.
“T…The seal of an ancient graveyard!” someone suddenly shouted.
Everyone was awakened from their reverie with that shout. Everything suddenly turned into chaos.
“The seal’s mine!”
“I’m going to get it!”
“There are a great many valuables at the graveyard. I’m going to have them all!”
“HAHAHA! Finally, this is Wong Su’s turn...”
Voices sounded continually.
Tien Ying let the chaotic situation go for a little while before asking everyone to calm down.
“I think everyone already knows what the seal of an ancient graveyard is. Thus, please allow me to skip the explanation.”
She paused a little before putting on an even more beautiful smile. “Let us start the last auction. The bidding for the seal of an ancient graveyard will start at 50,000 gold coins!”
“What? Fifty thousand gold coins?!?”
At that moment, an alarmed voice sounded in the hall. It was from a middle-aged man.
He was greatly surprised at the starting price of the seal.
“Fifty thousand gold coins…Fifty thousand gold coins…” A lot of guests muttered to themselves with blank faces. They did not want to believe it.
Still, a part of them thought it was a reasonable price, since it could open up the pathway to the ancient graveyard.
The ancient graveyard would open up once every 50 years. If one was lucky enough to stay alive in there, that person would be able to come back out with a lot of valuables.
That was why fifty thousand gold coins was reasonable for a starting price!
“The seal is really here.” Bai Chen stared at the seal. It was an old bronze seal in the size of a palm. Tien Ying was holding it. He knew because the green arrow was pointing at the Tien Nan trade association.
“Now that it’s here, I need to get it!”
Bai Chen made a decision not only because the sub-mission told him to do it, but because he also wanted to get into the ancient graveyard.
Bai Chen thought that no one knew better about the ancient graveyard than he did because his future self had been there before.
Following his future self’s footsteps and gathering all of the valuables in the graveyard would be very easy for him.
“Fifty-one thousand gold coins. Please let this Wang Jong have it to save the governor’s face.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWang Jong suddenly got up from his seat and looked at everyone in the hall. He clasped his hands together and spoke politely.
“Heh. Those were the most nonsensical words I’ve ever heard. You think I’d give up because of that?” The mocking voice that sounded was from Zi Tie. His face clearly showed disdain.
“You!” Wang Jong’s face twisted with anger. He did not expect Zi Tie to dare to humiliate him in front of everyone while he was actually pleading.
“Wang Jong, who do you think you are for everyone to give the seal to you?” Song Heng smiled. He could not hide his disgust with that smile.
“That’s right. I think it’s all about money now.” Lei Ba laughed.
Hua Lang nodded in agreement.
Tien Wen did not express his opinion on this. He still stared at the seal. His heart was beating fast. He really wanted it.
Without a care for anything, he whispered to the old man Foo Kong, “Third elder, can we take the seal?”
The old man Foo Kong shook his head immediately. “Impossible. We only have 10,000 gold coins. We don’t even have enough to join in the bidding.”
“Is there absolutely no way?” Tien Wen’s heart tensed up. He did not want to give up.
“No. We’d have more of a chance if we were in Yue Lun. The Dawn sect would be able to send us more money immediately. This is a different story.”
‘Damn it!’ Tien Wen secretly exclaimed. His face turned ugly.
In the end, he could only sit still. He knew what the seal was from the stories from people in the sect.
The old man Foo Kong also regretted it. If he had known that the seal was going to be up for auction, he would have prepared more money before coming here.
