Chapter 522 High Price Bidding
Chapter 522 High Price Bidding
At this point, the auctioneer has begun to describe the item in detail.
"Dear guests, this tenth lot is a rare and exquisite spiritual ring. This ring is of extraordinary value. After examination, it may be a spiritual treasure passed down from ancient times. If a person with profound Taoist skills is lucky enough to see it, they may be able to discover its uniqueness..."
The auctioneer had put on gloves, picked up the ring, showed it to everyone present, and began to praise the item endlessly.
However, when he was talking about this auction item, he used a lot of words about possibilities, indicating that the function of this item was unknown, it was very risky, and there was a certain probability that it would be useless.
This thing looks good, but it depends on whether you have the skills to use it, and also whether you have fate with it.
This auction house still has some conscience and does not try to cheat customers, so as to avoid disputes after the purchase. Now it all depends on personal preference, just buy if you want.
However, the starting price was five hundred taels of silver, which discouraged many people.
After all, something with an unknown function and a high risk element is too expensive. If it turns out to be useless, it would be a huge loss. After some consideration, many people gave up the idea.
However, there were also bids.
There were three bids for the private room upstairs.
"Five hundred taels."
"Five hundred and fifty taels!"
"Six hundred taels!"
……
Seeing that people were bidding one after another, Si He also asked the waiter beside him to quote an amount, "One thousand taels."
The waiter's eyes widened upon hearing this, and he quickly shouted the price downstairs, "One thousand taels!"
The price was raised so high in an instant that for a moment, the surrounding voices fell silent, and then heated discussions broke out.
In the private room, Gao You saw this scene and felt that it was so familiar. When she was in Wucheng, she was also like this, very generous, although it was not filmed in the end.
"One thousand taels for each time. Is there any higher offer?" The person in charge on the high platform downstairs shouted happily to the distinguished guests around him.
But the price was too high, even the guests upstairs were hesitant.
The person in charge was somewhat disappointed, but still shouted, "One thousand and two taels! Interested guests, please hurry up. If you miss it, it will be gone. This is a rare and exquisite spiritual ring."
Unfortunately, no one bid.
"One thousand taels, deal!"
Since no one bid, the ring was sold to Si He.
"Master, is it worthwhile to buy such a ring for one thousand taels of silver?"
Gao You saw that he had successfully bought the ring and couldn't help but say something to Si He.
Si He raised the corners of her lips slightly, "Maybe it's worth it, mainly because this thing suits my taste."
Since she said so, Gao You didn't say anything, but just felt it was too expensive.
After a while, the ring was brought up.
When she saw and touched the ring up close, Si He's originally relaxed expression began to become a little solemn again, and her eyes became a little darker. The waiter who served the tray thought she was not satisfied with the item, so he lowered his head and did not dare to speak. Anyway, she had already bought it, and there was no point in regretting it.
However, she was not dissatisfied with this thing, but after holding it in her hand, she felt that there was something different about it, a feeling that was hard to describe.
However, she could vaguely feel that this thing contained a trace of imperceptible evil energy!
The breath was very weak, so weak that she almost didn't notice it. If she hadn't held it in her hand and looked at it carefully, she would have felt that something seemed wrong. Then she carefully sensed and looked at it again, and she discovered a clue.
This thing is indeed extraordinary, but it is not a so-called spiritual ring, but a weird thing.
She took the ring, turning it slowly and looking at it thoughtfully.
This ring is dark in color and has a unique texture. It looks a bit like jade, but it is not as transparent as jade. It is a bit dull and heavy, and has a lot of weight.
It looks like a ring, simple and heavy. In addition to the sun pattern, it is also engraved with subtle mysterious runes. These runes surround the sun, which is inexplicably a bit weird.
Si He's brows furrowed more and more, as if she had seen it somewhere before.
She held the ring in one hand and supported her head with the other, then closed her eyes and thought carefully, where had she seen it before?
Seeing this, the waiter who was delivering something next to them didn't dare to disturb them and slowly left the private room. Gao You stood silently by.
When Si He closed her eyes and thought carefully, she was still slowly turning the ring in her hand. It felt slightly cool. When she carefully sensed it, the strange aura on the ring was still there, which made her feel like she was holding a treasure containing a ghost.
When this thought emerged in her mind, she paused her hand movements, and then pursed her lips slightly.
Probably not.
After all, the people at Ruyuanlou would carefully check the items before auctioning them. For a store as big as Ruyuanlou, the people who checked them couldn't be ordinary people. They must be experienced and knowledgeable about spiritual weapons and treasures, so it would be impossible for them not to find out.
She opened her eyes and looked at the ring carefully again. It was obviously not a container for ghosts, but the more she looked at it, the more familiar it seemed.
Where have you seen it?
"Master, is there something wrong with this ring?" Gao You, who was standing by, couldn't help but ask when he saw her like this.
"Yeah." Si He responded and didn't say anything more.
There was definitely something wrong with this thing, but she couldn't figure out the crux of the matter.
She closed her eyes again and thought carefully about where this familiar feeling came from.
This ring had a sun pattern on it and came from the Jiang family. She then recalled the ancient tomb she had visited before, the details about the sun pattern, and the memories related to Old Man Jiang.
Time passed little by little, and Gao You saw that she was deep in thought, so he stopped disturbing her.
About a quarter of an hour later, Si He suddenly opened her eyes, and then her mind was thinking quickly. This time, when she looked at the ring in her hand, her eyes became different.
She probably guessed the origin and function of the ring, but it was not convenient for her to check it here at the moment.
She was a little anxious to go back to the inn, but when she saw the auction downstairs, she held back. After all, the ring was already in her hand, so there was no need to rush. She might as well take a look and see if there were any special items here.
However, the following items were rather ordinary, mostly precious-looking jewels. She now preferred things with practical uses.
On the auction list, she saw some rare materials for refining treasures, which were worth bidding on. She had previously planned to find someone to refine a treasure suitable for her own use, but it was delayed for some time.
After about half an hour, the auction of refining materials finally began. There were many bidders, but Si He spent a lot of money to buy them. One thousand five hundred taels of silver for two small pieces of refining materials was really expensive, which made Gao You dumbfounded again.
