Chapter 361 The Abused Daughter's Last Wish 2
Half a quarter of an hour before the auction started, Jiang Xunfeng also came to the auction house and went straight to the No. 1 room where Chang'an was.
"Oh! We're in such a hurry," he said when he saw a table full of untouched delicacies, "Why haven't you eaten them? Don't you like them? I'll ask the kitchen to serve a new meal."
Changan stopped him lazily, "It's a waste of food. We are not hungry and don't want to do that."
The table was filled with boiled or steamed dishes, which looked bland and tasteless.
Jiang Xunfeng thought they had just had dinner outside, so he asked someone to take the food away and replace it with fruits and snacks.
"Little Chang'an, have a sweet apple. I just extorted it from the old man."
Chang'an glanced at it with the same lack of interest. In this world, apples are set as rare fruits, and are tribute fruits that are presented to the emperor of Jiang State.
The apple was not big. If Jiang Xunfeng hadn’t said it was an apple, Chang’an would have thought it was a gada fruit.
She was really tired of eating apples, and the space was so full that it filled up two warehouses. Except for her father, no one else in her family ate them.
"Mud porridge apple?" Since we know each other, I can give you some.
Jiang Xunfeng nodded indifferently and said, "Compared to those sour plums and oranges, I still prefer apples. At least they are sweet. Even if they are bad, they just have no taste, which is still very good."
"Come to the inn tomorrow and I'll give you something good." I'll give him a cart full of apples, enough to fill him to death.
But he seems to be very rich, how about selling him an apple for one tael of silver?
As soon as the hour of Xu arrived, the auction began on time. The manager walked onto the high platform in the middle, followed by three sturdy young men holding trays. From their physiques and demeanors, one could tell that all three of them were good at martial arts.
"Dear distinguished guests, we are fortunate to gather here today to participate in this grand event. I am the host of this auction. The auction is about to begin. There are three treasures. I hope that everyone will use their discerning eyes and bid fairly to find the items they desire."
"The auction begins. The first treasure is the Blue Sea Spirit Pearl. It is born in the deep sea and has a bright spiritual light. It is said to have the effect of bringing the dead back to life. The starting price is one million taels of silver. Each bid increase must not be less than one hundred thousand taels of silver. The bidding begins."
The auction is held once a month. Next month is the old emperor’s birthday. Many dignitaries came today. When they heard that there was a way to bring the dead back to life, they all gasped.
Then they started a life-and-death fight, with silver being thrown out like sand instead of silver.
In a short while, the price reached 10 million taels of silver.
"Eleven million taels".
"One thousand one hundred and one hundred thousand taels".
……
"Are these people stupid? If this pearl table can bring the dead back to life, would the owner of the pearl table put it up for auction?" If it had this effect, Jiang Xunfeng would have given it to his sister long ago. Why would Princess Ning An wait to die?
Chang'an glanced at the bead indifferently. It had a little spiritual energy, but was far from having the effect of bringing the dead back to life. There was nothing in this world that could bring the dead back to life.
Jiang Xunfeng lowered his head and chuckled, "Yes, it's useless, but these people can't see through it. Life and death are determined by fate, and reincarnation has its own destiny. Ha, counting on a bead to save your life is simply foolish."
These people are not as insightful as a child, but it is precisely because of them that he can earn their money, which is good.
He didn't know that Chang'an was not an ordinary child, she was the one who could really bring the dead back to life.
In the time it took them to speak a few words, the silver turned into gold.
"Ten million taels of gold once"
"Ten million taels of gold twice, is there anyone who wants to raise the price?"
"Ten million taels of gold three times, deal"
"Congratulations to Mr. Song for winning the Blue Sea Spirit Pearl with ten million taels of gold."
The head of the Song family is the royal merchant of Jiang State and also the richest man in Jiang State. No one present can match him in financial resources.
The gimmick of the Blue Sea Spirit Pearl is linked to life, and these are a group of people who cherish their lives, so it is not surprising that it can be auctioned at a sky-high price.
"Now we begin the auction of the second treasure, the exquisite luminous cup."
When the red cloth covering the treasure is removed, the full appearance of the exquisite luminous cup is revealed. The cup is transparent and can glow at night. When wine is poured into it, it is made of bright colored glaze and its shape is the same as that of a modern small glass cup with feet.
"This thing is considered a treasure?" Gu Laoliu felt that he had broadened his horizons. In his space, there were a bunch of cups collected by him in his second and third year of high school. How about putting a few of them up for auction?
"Dad, Bu is going to use your vision to measure ordinary silver," Scarcity makes things valuable. In this plane, it is a treasure, which is normal.
Jiang Xunfeng looked at the father and daughter in confusion. Why did it feel like they were looking at the treasures he collected as if they were useless garbage?
That shouldn't be possible, right? Everything he collected was a unique treasure in the world. Even if his family was powerful, it was impossible for them to have everything, right?
He lowered his eyes and glanced at the embroidered shoes worn on Chang'an's dangling feet. The finest soft jade was treated as a treasure in the palace, but others used it to inlay shoes.
Jiang Xunfeng suddenly felt a little unconfident. Maybe the other person really had broad knowledge and these treasures that he thought were precious were not worthy of his attention.
"What are you looking at?" Changan picked up his legs and looked left and right. They were very clean and there was no dog poop on them.
Jiang Xunfeng touched his nose and said, "Look at your shoes, they look nice."
"I can't give it to you even if it looks good."
The final transaction price of the exquisite luminous cup was five million taels of silver. It was quite generous for such an ornamental treasure to be sold at this price.
The third item was a thousand-year-old ginseng, which was also bought by the head of the Song family for one million taels of gold.
Chang An and Gu Laoliu would complain about every item they sold, especially the thousand-year-old ginseng. "One million taels of gold? How much does he want? Will he buy it?"
In their space, there are creatures that are older than, let alone thousands, there are even creatures that are older than two thousand or three thousand years. In Gu Laoliu's space, there are even creatures that are older than ten thousand years. If it weren't for Gu Laoliu's suppression, they would have become spirits.
"Bu wants 999, but it's only 99. You won't suffer a loss or be cheated."
Jiang Xunfeng asked in surprise: "Thousand-year-old ginseng is very rare. I only got two. Do you have a lot?"
"Do you want to buy it?" The father and daughter looked like they had seen a great enemy, and the light in their eyes almost blinded Jiang Xunfeng's eyes.
Why did he feel a chill down his spine? Jiang Xunfeng swallowed nervously, "If you have any, you can sell them to me."
Gu Laoliu grinned happily, "There are ones with a lifespan of one thousand years, two thousand years, and three thousand years. Which one do you want? Or do you want all of them?"
They cannot be sold to him for ten thousand years. They have already developed consciousness. I will release them all when I return to the divine realm.
"Puff! How many years did you say?" The tea that Jiang Xunfeng had just drunk sprayed out like a spray bottle.
"Tsk," Gu Laoliu wiped the tea off his face with his sleeve with a dark look of disgust, and retreated three meters with Chang'an.
Jiang Xunfeng apologized awkwardly, "I'm sorry, I'll have someone send clean clothes over right away."
"Tell me how much you can afford first?" He is not a germaphobe, he just likes cleanliness. He has lived in a pigsty before, so why would he be afraid of a sip of tea?
Jiang Xunfeng asked tentatively: "...Can you sell me as much as I want?"
"As long as you can afford it, we have as much as you want," Gu Laoliu looked at the vast medicinal field. He didn't know when the freshman had planted it. Ginseng that had been watered with spiritual springs was found very quickly.
The companion space is equivalent to a small world, and he is the master. He has adjusted the time inside to a hundred times the speed of the outside world. He can grow ginseng of any age that Jiang Xunfeng wants immediately.
Jiang Xunfeng was disheveled in the wind. When did the thousand-year-old ginseng turn into cabbage?
