The entire hall was briefly silent. Everyone was attracted by the woman on the high platform. Those with strong concentration were better off. For those with weak concentration, until now, they are still swallowing hard and almost forgetting where they are.
The fat man obviously belongs to the kind with not very strong concentration. If it weren't for Yunxiao's timely reminder, he might have made some even more embarrassing moves.
"So beautiful. I've long heard that Miss Wu Jia, Wu Qingya, is as beautiful as a fairy. Seeing her today is truly better to see than to hear."
After wiping off the nosebleed, the fat man's gaze still couldn't move away. He was still staring at the woman on the high platform, and there was a blazing flame dancing deep in his eyes.
"You guy is really hopeless, right? Isn't it just a woman? No matter how beautiful she is, so what?" Shaking his head with a bitter smile, Yunxiao really couldn't understand the fat man's performance. Although he also thought this woman was beautiful, he wouldn't be so bewitched.
Secretly glancing around, he found that there were many young people almost like the fat man. There were quite a few people with nosebleeds. Seeing this, he felt more and more speechless.
"By the way, is this the Miss Wu Jia, Wu Qingya that you mentioned? She seems to be really an extraordinary person."
Straightening his expression, Yunxiao also reexamined the woman on the stage. He found that although there was indeed no fluctuation of true qi energy on this woman, for some reason, he actually felt a hint of dangerous aura from this woman.
"Yes, she should be Wu Qingya and also the host of this auction." While staring at Wu Qingya on the stage intently, the fat man replied without looking back.
"Wu Qingya, tsk tsk, it seems that this person is probably not just a business genius as simple as that!"
With a flickering gaze, Yunxiao suddenly had a strange feeling. The woman on the stage was definitely not just as the outside world rumored, just a business genius. In addition, a woman who only knows how to do business probably can't make so many people collectively lose their minds and even have nosebleeds.
There must be some unknown inside story here, but it's not something he can figure out now.
"Welcome everyone to the Wu family auction. I am Wu Qingya. First of all, I thank everyone for coming."
At this moment, Wu Qingya on the stage suddenly smiled slightly and bowed slightly to the surroundings, greeting everyone present with a sweet voice.
"Gugugu..."
With her smile, many young people couldn't hold back again. The sound of swallowing saliva rose and fell one after another, and the effect was astonishing.
Yunxiao has nothing to say at this time. He finally understands that the reason why this Miss Wu Jia is called a business genius is probably related to these brainless young people.
Judging from the performance of these young men, if this woman does business with them, then they will do whatever she wants. Even if they lose everything, they will probably be willing to do it!
"There's no need to say any more superfluous words. Next, the auction officially begins."
Wu Qingya has a good grasp of the rhythm. The atmosphere in the early stage has been built up enough. The next time is when those rich young masters compete to show off.
As Wu Qingya's voice fell, a transparent emerald pillar suddenly rose on the central high platform. This emerald pillar is crystal clear and should itself be a treasure, but at this time it is just a pillar.
On the emerald pillar, a jade box made of condensed fat jade is quietly placed there. The jade box is about one foot long, half a foot wide, and five inches high. Just this box is an extremely valuable thing.
"Here it comes, the first auction item is coming. I don't know what the first auction item of the Wu family will be this year!"
"It seems that it should be a spiritual grass. It is the enrollment period of Leiyun Academy. Spiritual grass is the most popular thing at this time. High-level spiritual grass at this time can probably be sold for several times the price on ordinary days."
"That also depends on whether it's a good spiritual grass. Do you think those geniuses who can join Leiyun Academy will be interested in ordinary spiritual grass?"
"Naturally. But then again, the spiritual grass released at the Wu family auction will never be an ordinary thing."
As the first auction item of the auction appeared, the people present couldn't help but start discussing. Everyone was full of expectations for the first auction item of the Wu family.
"Swish!!!"
While everyone was discussing, Wu Qingya on the stage gently lifted the lid of the jade box. Then, a snow-white spiritual ginseng appeared in front of everyone present.
"This is..."
Seeing this snow-white spiritual ginseng, many people widened their eyes and showed a fiery look in their eyes.
"Everyone, there will be ten auction items auctioned by the Wu family today. The first auction item is a thousand-year snow ginseng. My Wu family has identified that this ginseng is about 1,200 years old. It is enough for a martial artist who has just entered the True Yuan Realm to stabilize the realm of the True Yuan Realm at once and reach the minor accomplishment realm of True Yuan."
Wu Qingya's sweet voice echoed in the hall. Everyone who heard her narration was rubbing their hands, obviously coveting the thousand-year snow ginseng.
"The base price is one million gold. Everyone can start bidding." Wu Qingya's gaze swept across the audience. Seeing the actions of countless people rubbing their hands, a hint of a smile couldn't help flashing in the depths of her eyes.
During the enrollment period of Leiyun Academy this time, there are many genius martial artists who have just entered the True Yuan Realm not long ago. It can be said that such a thousand-year snow ginseng is simply something that people like this dream of. And as long as the conditions are good, they will definitely compete desperately.
"I bid 1.2 million gold."
"1.3 million gold."
"Such a good thing, I bid 1.5 million..."
Sure enough, as Wu Qingya announced the start of bidding, one young person after another raised their arms in succession. Everyone seemed to be determined to get the thousand-year snow ginseng.
"Thousand-year snow ginseng? Brother, this thing is just right for you!!"
Among the crowd, the fat man has already come out of Wu Qingya's beauty. Now seeing this first auction item, he couldn't help but be overjoyed and said to Yunxiao beside him.
Yunxiao had said before that he had just advanced to the True Yuan Realm not long ago and hadn't reached the minor accomplishment realm of True Yuan. And if there is this thousand-year snow ginseng, Yunxiao should have no problem advancing to the minor accomplishment realm of True Yuan.
"Indeed a treasure. This thousand-year snow ginseng is flawless white and is the best among snow ginsengs. It's just this price..."
Yunxiao's gaze was completely fixed on it as soon as the thousand-year snow ginseng showed up. He could see that this thousand-year snow ginseng was really a good thing, no less than the three treasures he got from the Lin family. But the base price of one million gold made him give up immediately.
"Hahaha, money is not a problem. As long as brother likes it, spending some money is nothing." Seeing that Yunxiao was obviously tempted, the fat man laughed out loud and directly raised his arm. "I bid three million gold. I want this thing."
He didn't bid casually either. He had seen a lot of various treasures. This thousand-year snow ginseng should be the limit at three million. If it exceeds this price, it may not be worth it.
"What? Someone bid three million gold?"
"Well, it seems that someone is determined to get this thing. We have no chance."
"Who is so generous and directly increased from 1.5 million to three million?"
When the number of three million gold spread, everyone present couldn't help but look in the direction where the sound came from. They just happened to see the fat man's proud big fat face and the arrogant smile with the temperament of a nouveau riche.
The fat man's disguise is impeccable. In the eyes of outsiders, he is a rich lord. There is absolutely no trace of a young person.
"So it's a rich big landlord. I don't know which family's lord it is." Seeing the person who bid, everyone didn't pay too much attention. It's just that the price of three million gold really made them unable to compete anymore.
"This friend bids three million gold. Is there anyone who bids a higher price?"
On the high platform, Wu Qingya glanced at the fat man indifferently and didn't pay too much attention. She just gently asked everyone.
"In that case, for three million gold, this thousand-year snow ginseng belongs to this friend." Seeing that no one bid a higher price, Wu Qingya smiled slightly. As she spoke, she closed the lid of the jade box and directly threw the jade box off the high platform.
"Whoosh!!!"
Before the jade box landed, a middle-aged man's figure rose from the crowd and just caught the jade box. Then he separated the crowd and walked towards the fat man and Yunxiao.
This middle-aged man is extremely powerful and is probably already at the great accomplishment realm of the True Yuan Realm. Almost subconsciously, everyone made way for him and didn't dare to get too close.
Soon, the middle-aged man came in front of the fat man. "Please pay with one hand and deliver the goods with the other."
"Hehe, it won't be short of yours." The fat man didn't hesitate either. As he spoke, he reached into his chest. Then he took out three large gold notes. "Here, these are three gold notes of one million gold. Please take them, sir."
As he spoke, he handed the gold notes to the middle-aged man, and then took the initiative to take the jade box and put it on his waist in a proper manner.
After the middle-aged man checked the gold notes and confirmed that there was no problem, he nodded to Wu Qingya on the stage and then returned to below the high platform to wait for the transaction of the next auction item.
"Now is the second auction item. I hope everyone will like it." After the transaction of the first auction item ended, Wu Qingya on the high platform spoke again. At this time, the emerald pillar that had just gone down not long ago rose again. It was also a jade box, but it was even smaller than the previous one.
Wu Qingya didn't hesitate either and directly opened the jade box. This time, what appeared in front of everyone was a green gall. Judging from its size, it obviously came from a wild beast or a magical beast.
"Everyone, this is a snake gall of a third-level magical beast, the Thorn-tailed Serpent. As everyone knows, although snake gall is a highly poisonous thing, it is also a spiritual medicine for detoxification. If someone is poisoned too deeply and cannot be cured, this snake gall may completely save their life. In addition, snake gall is also a great tonic. As long as the toxicity in it is simply dealt with, prolonging life is not a problem. The base price is two million gold. Please bid."
The snake gall of a third-level magical beast's Thorn-tailed Serpent is really extraordinary. Third-level magical beasts are almost equivalent to human martial artists at the perfect realm of the True Yuan Realm. Generally, they are rarely killed. Magical beasts of this level are full of treasures, and the snake gall is the most precious part.
"I bid 2.5 million gold."
"2.6 million."
"Three million."
"3.2 million..."
Sure enough, as soon as this snake gall came out, it was completely more popular than the previous thousand-year snow ginseng. However, this time the bidders were all some middle-aged people or even older people, not those young people.
The snake gall of a third-level magical beast is too rare. Putting aside the miraculous effect of detoxification, just the great tonic effect of this thing is enough to make many lords tempted.
The lifespan of ordinary people is only a hundred years in a hurry. Who doesn't want to prolong their lifespan and obtain a longer life?
After a fierce scramble, in the end, this snake gall was bought by a big family in Leiyun Mansion at a high price of five million gold, making countless people extremely envious.
In the following time, Wu Qingya took out the treasures auctioned this time one by one. There were spiritual plants with a long history and treasures from magical beasts. No matter what it was, as soon as it appeared at the auction, it would be scrambled by countless people immediately. After all, there are tens of thousands of people present, and various needs are simply diverse. There will always be someone who can need one of these treasures.
Yunxiao and the fat man observed secretly in the crowd and didn't make a move again. During this period, the fat man wanted to bid for several spiritual grasses for Yunxiao again, but Yunxiao firmly refused.
Yunxiao himself knows clearly that although the spiritual grasses at the Wu family auction are very precious, in fact, they have little effect on him. Even if he eats all these spiritual grasses, he is afraid that it will be difficult to increase much true qi power. Since this is the case, it is really unnecessary to waste that money.
