Chapter 394: Chapter 393, Amulet Auctioned for a Sky-High Price of One Hundred Billion

The auction began quickly.

Originally, eighteen items were scheduled for today’s auction, but an additional item was added last minute, making a total of nineteen.

The previous auction items were relatively straightforward.

From Xu Wendong’s perspective, though, they weren’t very simple; a few exquisite porcelains were auctioned, different from ordinary ceramics, these porcelains had just recently been unearthed.

They were treasures dug up by tomb raiders, but such treasures could not enter formal auctions.

There were also a few bronze wares.

These were items that were prohibited from being sold or circulated in the marketplace.

However, in the black market, there’s no absolute prohibition on sales.

There were a few pieces of ancient jade, but none caught Xu Wendong’s attention.

In the blink of an eye, it was time for the penultimate auction item.

A staff member, carrying a tray, brought the talisman created by Xu Wendong onto the auction stage. The auctioneer excitedly said, ”Actually, this item should have been auctioned last, yes, I feel its rarity and value are equal to that of the Alchemy Furnace!”

”Stop teasing and announce what it is already!” Lu Qing looked impatient.

The auctioneer smiled and said, ”This item is a Taoist amulet.”

As soon as these words were spoken.

There was an immediate wave of disdainful voices from below.

Many people expressed contempt for these faith-based items.

The auctioneer’s voice rang out again, ”Unlike ordinary amulets, this amulet truly has miraculous protective power, capable of withstanding an all-out strike from a Great Grandmaster unscathed.”

”What?”

”Is there really such a miraculous thing in the world?”

A commotion erupted in the large auction hall, countless people widened their eyes, this was something that completely overturned their understanding.

The auctioneer pressed his hands down, and after the room quieted, he said, ”I know many doubt the power of this amulet.”

”But I can responsibly tell everyone that we have tested the amulet’s power; however, the tester was not a Great Grandmaster, but a Grandmaster-level expert from my Su Residence.”

”When the amulet senses a crisis, it will emit a red light to block all the attacks!”

”In this regard, my Su Residence can guarantee it with our own reputation!”

”This item is extremely rare, with a starting bid of fifty billion, and each increment must be no less than ten billion!”

Something capable of withstanding a deadly strike from a Great Grandmaster was destined to be extraordinary.

But it was also destined not to be acquired or owned by the average person.

Therefore,

Only the disciples of those six faction Great Grandmasters could participate in the bidding.

”I bid one hundred billion!” Hu Tian gently fanned himself with a folding fan, looking rebellious.

For ordinary people, a hundred billion was astronomical, but for them, it was nothing, after all, money was the least of their worries.

”A hundred billion for such an item?” Another young man sneered, ”This is rare; in a crisis, it’s like having an extra life, life is priceless!”

”This Young Master bids five hundred billion, hoping everyone gives some face, if you want to bid, this Young Master is happy to oblige!”

With these words, everyone gasped in shock, clearly not expecting the other party to offer five hundred billion directly.

Ye Qingxin whispered, ”That guy is named Qian Duoduo, the only son of Qian Qianwan from Shaanxi Province. Although Qian Qianwan is the weakest in terms of strength among the six Great Grandmasters, the wealth he possesses is astronomical.”

”It is rumored in the martial world that the wealth he alone possesses can rival that of the other five Great Grandmasters.”

Xu Wendong understood.

No wonder he directly offered five hundred billion; he was indeed a wealthy second-generation!

”Five hundred and ten billion!” A twenty-five or six-year-old woman with short hair and a blank expression spoke calmly.

Ye Qingxin: ”She is named Zhen Shuanger, the beloved daughter of another Great Grandmaster, Zhen Long!”

”······”

Xu Wendong looked utterly surprised.

Zhen Shuanger?

That name was rather haphazard, wasn’t it?

Ye Qingxin whispered, ”Don’t underestimate this woman because of her name, she became a First-rate Master at eighteen, and last year successfully broke through to become a Grandmaster-level expert!”

Xu Wendong’s eyes revealed a touch of surprise.

He hadn’t expected this woman to have such extraordinary talent, it’s a pity, she was cold and aloof, not his type.

”Six hundred billion!”

A bald young man casually offered a price, then picked up a cup and made a toast to Qian Duoduo from afar, seemingly as a friendly gesture yet giving off a strong sense of tension.

Ye Qingxin: ”He is named Gu Yan, the youngest son of the Great Grandmaster Gu Wuxin. Gu Wuxin has a poor relationship with Qian Qianwan, and years ago they fought fiercely over a woman.”

”Although Qian Qianwan had poor strength, his wealth won over that woman’s heart.”

”Since then, the relationship between these two Great Grandmasters became extremely hostile, it is said that not only do they fight upon meeting, but even their disciples and clansmen also openly and secretly compete when they encounter each other.”

Xu Wendong’s eyebrow twitched, a strong sense of anticipation arose in his heart.

If the Gu Family and Qian Family had such a poor relationship, wouldn’t Gu Yan intentionally raise the price to make Qian Duoduo spend lavishly?

This could only be a highly favorable situation for him!

”A member of the Gu Family, you think you can take what the Qian Family desires?” Qian Duoduo’s face showed a disdainful smile, ”In terms of wealth, your Gu Family isn’t even qualified to carry shoes for the Qian Family.”

”If you want to compete with the Qian Family, I would like to see how much you have.”

At this, he quoted another price, ”I bid eight hundred billion!”

Gu Yan smiled broadly, ”Nine hundred billion!”

”One trillion!” Qian Duoduo lazily quoted a price, giving the feeling that he was quoting one trillion as if it was merely an insignificant one hundred.

He added, ”If your intention is to drive up the price and make the Qian Family pay more for this amulet, I advise you to give up, our Qian Family lacks no such amount of money.”

Gu Yan shouted angrily, ”I bid one trillion two hundred billion!”

He never intended to drive up the price to make Qian Duoduo pay more, he genuinely liked this amulet, but his financial capability was limited.

”In that case, I’ll bid one trillion two hundred and ten billion!” Qian Duoduo displayed a meaningful smile.

Gu Yan was full of anger, forced to give up the bidding.

Though he wanted the item so badly.

His financial strength didn’t allow it, so he had no choice but to give it up.

After all.

What truly attracted them was the Alchemy Furnace.

”Congratulations to Young Master Qian for securing this amulet at a price of one trillion two hundred and ten billion!” The auctioneer was filled with excitement, delivering the final verdict for the amulet’s price.

Beside him, Xu Wendong sat quietly sipping tea, but a storm raged within him, unable to subside for a long time.

Who could have imagined?

A casually crafted trinket had sold for an astronomical price of over one trillion two hundred billion!
