Chapter 586: Rare treasures appear frequently
Soon, the time reached nine o'clock in the evening, and the hall on the first floor was basically full of people.
Auctioneer Xu Heping came to the stage and after a lecture, the items to be auctioned tonight were also displayed on the big screen.
Various rare cultural relics such as bronze wine bottles from the Han Dynasty and tricolor paintings from the Tang Dynasty were unveiled one by one.
Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan were dazzled by the prices of the cultural relics on the projection. The starting price of each item was more than one hundred thousand US dollars.
U.S. dollars are not RMB.
In this era, the value of foreign exchange is very large.
"Three provinces, the starting price is so expensive, can it be sold?"
Wu Sansheng chuckled and twitched his little finger: "Old Hu, those who can participate in the auction are those who are not short of money. Many of them are people from Treasure Island and Hong Kong. To them, this money is just a small sum."

Soon, the first round of auctions ended, and nine cultural relics were successfully auctioned. One of the authentic inscriptions by Emperor Taizong Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty was sold for a high price of one million US dollars.
After a ten-minute rest, the second round of auctions will begin.
This round of auctions are for three national treasure-level cultural relics, a horse-mounted flying falcon from the late Eastern Han Dynasty, an ivory mat from the Qing palace as white as jade, and a Yuan Dynasty blue-glazed white dragon-patterned plum vase with purple dragon patterns swirling around it.
After these three national treasures were revealed, the enthusiasm of everyone in the audience was instantly aroused.
Xu Heping, who was on the stage, saw the opportunity and quickly explained the origin and value of the three national treasures in detail, igniting everyone's anger.
"One and a half million!"
"One million and seven hundred thousand!"
......
The transaction prices of the first two national treasures were both around two million US dollars, but when the last Yuan Dynasty blue-glazed plum vase with white dragon pattern was auctioned, Chen Tianyou in the box number 1 suddenly said: "Two million!"

When the people below saw the noble man in the box upstairs speaking, they didn't dare to bid any more. Besides, the price of two million US dollars was not low, so it would be easy to lose money if you bid any more.
In Box No. 1, Chen Tianyou and several members of the older generation of Jiumen gathered together.
"Does the owner like this Yuan Dynasty vase?"
"I remember that the sect master didn't like to place such precious porcelain in his mansion."
Chen Tianyou smiled and looked at the audience: "Of course I have a purpose, don't guess."
Anyone who is familiar with the Tiger's Den auction knows that the second round of auctions is over, and if there is a third round, it will be the auction of the rare treasures and elixirs inside the Nine Gates.
These rare treasures and elixirs are hard to come by, and generally require merit points within the Nine Sects to redeem them. However, the Nine Sects changed the rules a long time ago, making merit points extremely rare, so even the Nine Sects are very
It is difficult to earn enough merit points to exchange for the treasures you want.
On certain special days, a batch of rare treasures will flow out of the Tiger's Lair auction. As long as you have enough money, you can get what you want without merit points.
Therefore, the Nine Sects will generally not miss auctions where exotic treasures appear. After all, for them, money is easier to obtain than merit points.
Wu Sansheng also became unusually excited: "Old Hu, Fatty, next is the big head, there is something good to see."
At this time, Xu Heping, who was on the auction stage, said: "Everyone here is very lucky today. There are five treasures leaked today, three of which were provided by the Chen family leader. Of course, after the auction, the Chen family
The Lord has another good thing to announce. At that time, you can stay at the auction house for a short time."
Qi Qinghu asked with a cup of coffee: "Third brother, do you know what Master Chen said?"
"You are well-informed, you don't even know how I know," Wu Sansheng shook his head, but it is not a small matter for Sect Master Chen to appear in person to announce it.
The projection light flashed, and the first exotic treasure was projected onto the high white wall.
A red bead placed in a green sandalwood box.
Wang Kaixuan was stunned. Isn't this the orb he has worn since childhood?
It's just that the one on the projection is bigger.
Xu Heping said loudly: "Red glazed beads are earth-level treasures. When held in the mouth, they will produce warm currents, which can avoid the cold. They are good choices for traveling in extremely cold places and for burial. Starting price: one hundred and fifty
One hundred thousand dollars..."
One and a half million!
Wang Kaixuan's eyes widened. He didn't expect that the orb given to him by Master Qing was so valuable.
No wonder Jin Wantang tried every means to buy his orb.
Hu Bayi patted Wang Kaixuan heavily on the shoulder and glanced at him again, meaning that this kind of treasure must be hidden and cannot be revealed at will in the future.
Wu Sansheng also knew that Wang Kaixuan had a glass bead, but he didn't say anything more.
Although the glass beads were extremely valuable, they did not make Wu Sansheng selfishly covet them.
Soon, the red glass bead was snapped up by a businessman from Hong Kong for US$2.35 million. Judging from his wealth, it seemed that he still had ideas for the next few rare treasures.
"The second rare treasure: 2000-year-old ginseng, a prefecture-level treasure. It is rich in medicinal power. Use ginseng to turn into water. Taking it all year round can prolong your life... Starting price: two million US dollars."
Among the rare treasures, the medicine that prolongs human life has always been priceless but not marketable.
Although the price of two million is high, it cannot stop people's yearning for longevity. The price of ginseng was quickly copied to five million, and it was finally photographed.
Seeing Hu Bayi's expression was different, Wu Sansheng said: "Old Hu, do you have any thoughts on this ginseng?"
Hu Bayi quickly shook his head: "Three provinces, I can't afford this kind of precious medicine."
Hu Bayi's father joined the army in his early years and was bedridden all year round. Because ginseng can extend life, he thought of his father.
Wu Sansheng smiled and said: "Actually, I can't afford it, but my father also has a thousand-year-old one hidden away. Making tea every day is too wasteful. If you want it, I can get you some ginseng. It won't be a problem."
Hu Ba thought for a while and realized that he owed some favors to help improve the relationship, so he agreed to come down.
Qi Qinghu on the side smiled, knowing that the third brother's "begging" was probably stealing.
However, his third brother has never been at a disadvantage, so caring for Hu Bayi like this seems like the Wu family is trying to lay off their treasure.
"Everyone, the third rare treasure: a Dragon and Tiger Golden Pill, an earth-level treasure. No matter how serious the trauma you suffer, if you take this medicine, you can hang your life..."
"Dragon and Tiger Golden Pill? Sansheng, this is the pill you gave the fat man." Hu Bayi couldn't help but ask.
Wu Sansheng nodded, his face looking as usual, but his heart ached so much that he was almost bleeding.
If he hadn't accidentally injured Wang Kaixuan severely, the Dragon-Tiger Golden Pill would not have been fed to Wang Kaixuan. However, Wang Kaixuan might have died in the tomb if he did not take the Dragon-Tiger Golden Pill.
No matter what, he saved Wang Kaixuan's life.
The price of the Dragon and Tiger Golden Pill has been raised to three million, and Wang Kaixuan also knows the value of this precious medicine.
"Sansheng, I, Fatty Wang, owe you my life. If anything happens to you in the future, I, Fatty, will do whatever you want!" Wang Kaixuan patted his chest and said with loyalty.
