C284 Kicked by a Donkey
As the elderly voice sounded out, the somewhat noisy hall gradually quietened down.
Han Guangyao, who just stood up, also sat on the chair unwillingly. The people beside him immediately helped him up.
After a series of loud bangs, the whole hall finally fell to the floor.
Following which, a figure slowly walked up from the platform. The owner of the figure was floating in the air, and with each step, he stepped on the air before finally steadily walking up the two meter high platform.
This was a realm that only Indestructible Stage experts would reach, and even if one was in the unfathomable realm, one could only fly in the air while riding a sword or Spiritual Treasure, not stand in the air, let alone step by step rise into the air.
The old man was wearing a long, flaxen-colored robe and was about 1.75 meters tall. His hair was snow-white, and because cultivators could not tell his age, this old man looked like he was at most 50 years old.
However, Zhou Yi knew that the actual age of this old man was definitely above 90.
The old man's gaze swept across the crowd. Every time his gaze landed on a person, the other party would involuntarily shiver. When his gaze landed on Zhou Yi, he unexpectedly paused for half a second before looking into the distance.
"Hello everyone, my surname is Bai and I can be considered as the sponsor of today's auction. So, I hope that everyone will abide by our rules when bidding. If anyone breaks them, I, Bai, have the right to punish them on the spot!"
At the end, Old Man Bai's voice couldn't help but become a bit more serious.
Everyone felt a chill run down their spines as they fell into a state of silence!
"Hehe, I, Bai, have always liked to talk first. In order to show my sincerity, I will charge a 20% discount for the first item we bid today. I, Bai, will make up for the rest in private!"
As his voice fell, the entire audience burst into thunderous applause.
10% discount!
This was not like a discount to a shopping mall. Every item here would be sold for at least seven digits, and the transaction price would be at least eight or nine digits. If one encountered a rare item, it would be worth at least ten digits.
The 20% discount represented a number that these people would definitely fight over.
As expected, as the old man surnamed Bai spoke, the anger in the entire arena instantly surged to a climax.
Seeing this, Zhou Yi also shook his head with a wry smile. He really was a cunning old fox. A twenty percent discount would allow the first item to sell an extra number of digits.
It was a pity that these idiots were still calculating how much advantage they had taken.
As everyone was discussing, the old man surnamed Bai lightly clapped his hands. Then, from the center of the platform, a transparent crystal square table slowly rose up. On the table, there was a red velvet box.
Then, the old man surnamed Bai extended his hand and gently opened the box. A somewhat shabby looking bead the size of an egg appeared in front of everyone.
Although the bead looked worn out, the faces of those people revealed an unprecedented greed.
Even Wang Chuan, who was beside Zhou Yi, stared excitedly at the image that came from the back of the front row of seats. Wang Chuan, who was beside Zhou Yi, also stared excitedly at the image that came from the back of the front row of seats.
"This is a three star invisibility bead. Although it's been a while, after our appraisal, we can still use it at least a hundred times." The old man paused, then continued, "The starting price is five hundred thousand, an additional one hundred thousand for each bid!"
Just as the old man finished speaking, a set of numbers quickly jumped up on the big screen on the stage.
That number jumped from 500,000 to more than 3 million!
Zhou Yi rolled his eyes.
To put it nicely, the three star Invisibility Bead was called the Invisibility Bead. However, in front of people like Zhou Yi, there was not much difference before and after using it because he could completely see who the wearer was.
For an Invisibility Orb of this level, it would only have some effects for ordinary cultivators.
What was even more inconceivable to Zhou Yi was that Wang Chuan, who was standing aside, was still trying hard to press the button in his hand.
There would be one on each chair, and the person on the chair had already been captured through the camera on the front row of monitors, so no one could deny the last price or the seat number on the screen.1
The rule that the old man surnamed Bai spoke of at that time was likely to be this repudiation.
After the price rose to 5 million, the price gradually slowed down.
It seemed that many people were shocked by the high price and stopped in their tracks.
It was laughable to think that a thing worth five hundred thousand yuan could be called such a high level.
"Five million eight hundred thousand, second row fifty-six!" The old man's gaze slowly shifted and landed on Wang Chuan.
Wang Chuan nodded slightly as a form of greeting.
"Hmph, 5,800,000, give me an additional 10,000,000!" The moment the elder finished his sentence, Han Guangyao, who was not far from Wang Chuan, suddenly spoke.
Hearing his orders, the subordinate sitting beside him hurriedly pressed the button.
Looking at the numbers on the screen, everyone below the stage took a deep breath. However, soon after, everyone's eyes were focused on Wang Chuan.
"Look, today this Boss Han is going against him again!"
Far away, the sound of people discussing the matter could be heard.
"Yeah, this young man is really unlucky. Usually, none of the people he stands up for are able to buy anything, and it's always like this!"
"Hai, don't say anymore, it's as if you can afford it. 10 million for one Invisibility Bead, how much does it cost to find a master to make a new one?!"
"Sigh …"
Hearing the discussions around him, Wang Chuan's hand that was holding the keys closed continuously, and his innocent knuckles gradually turned pale.
"Third row, number 105. Ten million going once!"
The white-haired old man on the stage had already begun to announce the price.
Wang Chuan gritted his teeth and planned to press the key again.
But at this moment, a hand lightly patted his shoulder.
Wang Chuan turned around and saw Zhou Yi lightly shaking his head at him. It was just a level 3 invisibility orb, spending 5 million to buy it. Zhou Yi thought he was a fool, 10 million was definitely not enough to make a donkey kick him.
Wang Chuan had always listened to Zhou Yi. Since he wouldn't let him take action, then he gave up on this auction.
Seeing that Wang Chuan had given up, the white haired old man on the stage smiled and said, "Ten million, two million, three times!"
As the sound of his voice faded, the hammer in his hand also smashed downwards.
"Congratulations, congratulations!"
The people sitting around Han Guangyao immediately congratulated him. On the other hand, Han Guangyao nodded his head in a beautiful manner, then turned his gaze back and meaningfully looked at Wang Chuan.
Wang Chuan ignored him, and Zhou Yi didn't even give him a proper look.
Zhou Yi felt that he had lost his self-respect when he looked into the eyes of a person who had been kicked by a donkey.
"Alright, now let's auction the second item!"
Everyone was still in the midst of their amazement at the high price of ten million when the old man surnamed Bai on the stage once again spoke …
