1222: C1222 800 Million High

C1222 800 Million High

The energy in the painting flowed out extremely quickly. Not to mention others, even Zhou Yi was barely able to react.

However, they were surrounded by ordinary people, so they couldn't see or feel this dangerous scene.

Zhou Yi slightly raised his arm and blocked the attack.

When the energy hit Zhou Yi's arm, other than letting the surrounding people feel a breeze, there seemed to be nothing else.

"What happened? Are you alright?" Mo Qingcheng hurriedly said.

Zhou Yi shook his head. His gaze fell on the painting once again and at this moment, the painting became a very normal picture. Even Zhou Yi could not feel any energy fluctuations from the painting.

In the end, the painting was sold for 370 million.

This price was simply two times more expensive than the international price. How could it be acceptable for people to like them here? Furthermore, they all had expressions as if they had obtained a treasure.

Originally, Zhou Yi was still thinking that it would be better to avoid trouble.

No matter who the two old fellows were, they had nothing to do with Zhou Yi. Since that was the case, he wanted to give up on the idea of investigating that mysterious person.

Who would've thought that the moment he let go of this idea, they would charge at him and force him to make a move.

Zhou Yi secretly cursed in his heart. The other side had already started the last item for tonight, which was the bright red stone like the pigeon's blood that Zhou Yi had heard earlier.

This rock really did look very bright, as if blood was about to drip down from it.

The moment this rock was taken out, gasps sounded out from all of them.

"This stone really lives up to its reputation. With just a glance, I was able to confirm that those rumors were true!"

"Un, I think so too. Those rumors about him turning into blood definitely aren't groundless rumors."

"Did you know? I also heard that drinking that blood would have the effect of reviving the dead in certain aspects!"

"Are you for real!"

The moment he said this, the surrounding men's eyes immediately lit up.

When Zhou Yi heard this, he could not help but sneer. If the effects were so obvious, then this stone would have been bought away by someone else long ago and would be used as a gift by the ancestors.

Unfortunately, these people naturally did not understand this logic.

What they were thinking in their hearts was, if buying this stone could not only curry favor with that old fellow, but also have such an effect, wouldn't that be beautiful?

So, after the auctioneer on the stage made his bid, the people below started to scramble for it.

The price had skyrocketed from 8 million all the way to 70 million in the blink of an eye.

Zhou Yi couldn't help but shake his head.

"Brother Yi, did you see that? There seems to be something in that rock!" Suddenly, Mo Qingcheng came over and spoke in a voice that only two people could hear.

Zhou Yi squinted his eyes and looked at the red stone on the stage.

Originally, the color of the stone was so bright that it was somewhat eye-catching. But now, it seemed as if there was another layer of something mixed within it.

Even with Zhou Yi's eyesight, it was hard to tell.

Ouyang Jie, who was at the side, also came over and whispered, "President Zhou, look at the red stone on the stage. How come it became green?"

Zhou Yi looked up and glanced at the stone. It was still red, but why did Ouyang Jie see it as green?

Even if there were impurities in it, it hadn't turned green.

At this moment, a middle-aged man, who sat extremely far away from the three of them, stood up. He held his number plate and looked towards the stage with a dazed expression as he yelled, "I bid one hundred million, one hundred million!"

Everyone present looked at Zhang Xuan doubtfully.

It was not unprecedented for a bid to reach a hundred million.

All of them had more than a billion taels of silver, so they wouldn't be so arrogant even if they shouted out a hundred million.

However, that person kept repeating it as if he didn't see everyone's gaze.

An elder standing not far from them could not bear to watch and shouted, "120 million!"

"200 million!" Just as the old man was shaking his head in complacency, this old man once again spoke, and even raised the price by eighty million.

The old man was infuriated. He raised his sign and said, "220 million!"

"300 million!"

This time, the middle-aged man spoke again without hesitation.

That's fun.

Although the people bidding here all relied on their own abilities, this middle-aged man's reckless way of calling was really rare. He added 100 million immediately after coming up.

Some bosses who didn't have much assets, after hearing about the increase in price, directly put down their numbers.

After the middle-aged man shouted out three hundred million, the entire area fell silent.

Just as the host on stage was about to speak, another middle-aged man spoke up. He wore a black suit, and even here, a pair of black sunglasses covered half of his face.

"350 million!" He slowly raised the plate in his hand and opened his mouth.

"400 million!"

"450 million!"

"500 million!"

Hearing their bid, the rest of the people seemed to have forgotten to breathe as they stared blankly at the numbers of the two people coming out one after another.

The price rose to 800 million.

Only then did the man clap his hands elegantly. "Truly rich and imposing. I, Liu, am truly impressed. I don't want this stone!"

However, after the other person heard his words, he turned his head around expressionlessly and looked to the stage.

For a stone to be worth eight hundred million, that was a sky-high price.

No matter how valuable he was, he wouldn't be worth so much money.

Everyone in the auction house sighed. They never thought that someone as foolish as this would actually appear in this auction.

Compared to the picture just now, this rock was simply too poor.

If he could have so much money, he might as well buy that painting.

Thus, the people in the crowd started to discuss in whispers, "Who is that person? Do you all know him? Why does he look so silly?"2

"I've never seen this person before. I really don't know where he came from!"

"Ask Elder Yuh Bian if he is familiar with the two of them since they are seated closest to each other!"

Thus, one of them nudged Boss Liu secretly, "Old Liu, who is this person? You and him are sitting so close, do you know him?"

He looked to be at most forty years old. He raised his head and glanced at the man who was still standing straight on the spot, then shook his head: "I have not seen him before. Besides, there was no one by my side just now, so I don't know when he came to sit here!"

Hearing Boss Liu's words, the doubt in everyone's eyes deepened. Did this guy appear out of thin air?

Their words naturally wouldn't miss Zhou Yi's ears. Thus, Zhou Yi raised his head to look at the man carefully …
