Chapter 29 Auction, Tai Chi Liang Yi Stone
Chen Yan was secretly happy with a decent smile on his face when Gu Yuena suddenly said.
"If I have time in the future, I'll make breakfast and you can make lunch and dinner."
After saying this, Chen Yan's smile froze. What? I still have to do it!
He felt that the food he liked suddenly turned gray, just like his mood.
Although he was frustrated, he managed to force a smile and said to Gu Yuena, "Okay."
At the table, the two of them were enjoying their meal quietly, and the atmosphere seemed a bit dull. It was Gu Yuena's suggestion that broke the silence.
She picked up the napkin and wiped the corners of her mouth, her purple eyes casually sweeping over: "Xiao Yan, I heard that Xingluo City is going to hold an auction, do you want to go shopping?"
Chen Yan was stunned. Auction? He looked at Gu Yuena, a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes, and asked, "Is there anything you need in there?"
Gu Yuena smiled slightly, her purple eyes flashing with a cunning light, "Nothing special is needed, but I heard that this auction is a little different, and some rare items may appear. I thought, maybe we can go and take a look, maybe we can find something interesting."
Chen Yan thought for a while and nodded. Although he didn't know what attracted Gu Yuena to the auction, he wouldn't say he wouldn't go to spoil her fun.
"Then I'll go and arrange it first." A satisfied smile appeared on her calm and slightly chubby face.
……
Near noon, they walked into the auction venue under the guidance of staff.
As the largest auction venue in the Xing Luo Empire, in addition to its extremely strong financial resources, its security is naturally excellent. Not only are there guards with Soul Saint cultivation at the gate, but even the soul power level of each etiquette lady is not low.
The staff took them into a single room and respectfully handed the auction list to Chen Yan.
"Here are the details of the items being auctioned. You two can take a look at them for reference."
"Thank you."
The staff bowed and quietly left the room.
Chen Yan took the list and opened it. It detailed the various rare items in this auction, including some rare soul beast materials, precious cultivation pills, and various rare natural treasures. It was extremely rich.
The list also specially marked some unique items, such as a soul sword named "Purple Lightning Frost", which was forged by an eighth-level forger, who can be said to be the best forger in Xingluo Continent. There is also a set of dark blue three-word battle armor embryo, as long as it is fused with one's own battle armor, it can automatically upgrade to a three-word battle armor.
In addition, there is a mysterious auction item on the list. The list only says that it was passed down from ancient times and its function is unknown because it has been listed in the auction house for many years at its expensive price.
Chen Yan carefully flipped through the list, with a flash of surprise in his eyes from time to time. Then he saw the introduction of this item, and instantly understood that this was the goal of this time. Although he didn't know the true value of this item or what it was used for, from the description in the list, it was enough to see that this thing was definitely not simple, and it was definitely a series of protagonists picking up leaks. The more mysterious it is, the stronger it is, right?
He memorized it firmly and continued to flip through the pages. Suddenly, he saw a picture in the list. It was a gem emitting a faint purple light. It had a strange shape and was extremely beautiful.
There was a hint of surprise in his eyes. It was a stone, but it was black and white, forming the shape of Tai Chi.
He gently placed his hand on the register, his fingertips lightly touching the picture, as if he could feel the faint energy emanating from the gem.
"This is the Tai Chi Yin-Yang Stone." Seeing Chen Yan's gaze lingering on it for a long time, Gu Yuena spoke up. "Tai Chi Yin-Yang Stone?"
"Yes. This is a very good forging material, which can only be formed in two extremely opposite environments."
"It is almost impossible to find it on this planet. Due to its harsh formation conditions, its strength is extremely high and its quality is also very good, so it is also called 'God's Metal'."
Chen Yan's mind was moved. Wouldn't it be possible to fly directly if he used the Tai Chi Liang Yi Stone to forge the battle armor? But he had no money on him, and the federal currency was useless here!
"Don't worry, I'll help you get it." Looking at Chen Yan's sad and angry expression, Gu Yuena smiled knowingly.
As time went by, the auction officially began. Chen Yan and Gu Yuena sat in a single room, waiting for the auction to begin.
Under the lights in the center of the auction room, a beautiful auctioneer in a red gown walked onto the stage. She tapped the microphone gently, and the entire room immediately fell silent.
The auction officially kicked off, various rare items were unveiled one after another, and the atmosphere in the venue gradually became hot.
Lot after lot was scrambled for.
After waiting for a long time, a mysterious item was slowly pushed onto the auction table. It was an ancient box with complex patterns carved on the box, which looked simple and mysterious. Chen Yan's eyes were instantly attracted, and he knew that this was the goal of their trip - the auction item described in the book as extremely mysterious.
"Are we finally here?" Chen Yan's eyes flashed.
"Everyone, we are now going to auction off another old friend of yours."
The auctioneer smiled and began to introduce the history and value of the item. Although she couldn't accurately tell the specific purpose of the item, it didn't stop her from exaggerating. Chen Yan looked at Gu Yuena beside him and found that there was a glimmer of expectation in her eyes.
After the auctioneer finished her introduction, she saw hundreds of pairs of eyes staring at her, as if urging her to finish quickly. She sighed slightly in her heart, thinking that it seemed that she would not be able to sell it again. Then she didn't say any more nonsense and directly made an offer.
As she finished her words, the originally bustling auction hall suddenly fell silent.
"Fifty million!" At this time, Gu Yuena's calm voice resounded throughout the entire conference hall, with unquestionable firmness in it.
The audience looked at the room that was offering the price, and there was a commotion for a while. Then, as if sharks smelled fish, they started to raise the price. No one was stupid enough to think that someone would spend 5000 million to buy something that they didn't know what it was for.
Chen Yan's heart tightened. He understood that this had attracted the attention of others. He turned to look at Gu Yuena, only to see her smiling slightly, as if everything was under control.
"One hundred million." Gu Yuena's voice was calm and firm.
The venue fell silent instantly, and all eyes were focused on this single room. The other party seemed to have not expected that they would offer such a high price, hesitated for a moment, and finally chose to give up. As the auctioneer dropped the hammer, the mysterious item finally fell into their hands. Chen Yan and Gu Yuena smiled at each other.
They then bought the Tai Chi Liang Yi Stone for 500 million.
The auction continued, but Chen Yan and Gu Yuena's minds were no longer on the next item.
This time, they all got what they wanted.
Go to bed early, everyone.
