I saw the auctioneer holding a round object the size of a fist in his hand.
This object is completely black, and you can't tell what material it is made of. The outer shell is thickly coated with paste, so it is obviously very old.
This thing attracted the attention of many people on the scene, and they all used their spiritual consciousness to find out what it was.
But then everyone frowned, because this item was obviously made of special materials and could block spiritual consciousness.
"You want me to buy a ball?"
Ji Mo looked at the multi-treasure snake with question marks on his face.
He couldn't see that this thing was a good thing.
The Turbot Snake nodded humanely, and its natural instinct allowed it to sense that there were good things hidden in it.
The auctioneer obviously saw the doubts on everyone's faces and did not give in. He introduced: "This object is called the Qiqiao Tiangong Ball. It is very old and is suspected to be an ancient item. Its structure is complex and extremely exquisite, and it is made of the lost Lu
The public lock production process, if you don’t know the specific unlocking steps, you can’t open it at all.”
As soon as these words were said, many people were interested. After all, ancient items were quite attractive.
Of course, there must be something in the auctioneer's words. The word "doubt" is used very spiritually, indicating that the auction house cannot figure out its true year.
But it is certain that this object is definitely an antique.
"Is it really impossible to open it?"
Some people couldn't help but ask.
"Well, even a master-level blacksmith in my auction house couldn't open it. After all, this is a lost craft, but this can also prove that it is very old."
The auctioneer nodded and continued: "Because it can't be opened, we are not sure what items are inside. Maybe there is an ancient elixir hidden in it, or there is a supreme secret book, etc. If you buy it, you will make a profit."
"Isn't this just like a blind box? It's not meant to deceive people, right?"
Ji Mo felt that this was a trick.
It’s unknown whether there is anything inside, but the auctioneer hyped it up so much that he was so good at deceiving people.
After listening to the auctioneer's words, many people's eyes turned red.
But there are also discerning people who sneer at the auctioneer's words.
A blacksmith said: "I think the material used for this Qiqiao Tiangong Ball should be three-color mithril. Although it is a rare metal, its value is not very high and it is not worth much. Moreover, if it is opened by force,
The items inside are bound to be damaged. Even if there is an elixir inside, you can't get it, so this thing is useless."
The auctioneer's expression changed slightly. He didn't expect that someone knowledgeable could see the trick.
Many people immediately lost interest when they heard it.
Even the Forge Master can't open it, and it may be damaged if opened violently, so it's useless.
"This is an ancient thing. There are not many left in the world, so it is extremely precious. And not to mention anything else, the craftsmanship of Lu Gong Suo alone is valuable. If one can learn this lost skill from it, it will be even more priceless.
"
The auctioneer's eloquence and eloquence immediately aroused the interest of many people.
Even the blacksmith who just spoke had a look of interest in his eyes.
"This Qiqiao Tiangong Ball is not expensive. The starting price is 500,000 taels of gold. Each increase in price must not be less than 50,000 taels of gold."
The auctioneer stopped talking nonsense and started bidding directly.
"Five hundred and fifty thousand taels!"
The blacksmith spoke first.
"Six hundred thousand taels!"
"Six hundred and fifty thousand taels!"
…
Everyone made bids one after another, and soon the price of this seven-skilled heavenly ball exceeded one million taels of gold, and the clamor for price increases continued unabated.
Tang Heng's face showed excitement, because he was the one who sent this item here for auction, and he didn't expect it to be so valuable.
"Really want to buy it?"
Ji Mo felt a little uneasy, this was not a small amount.
I remember when I was poor, I would break a coin in half to spend it, but now I have to buy luxury goods worth over one million taels of gold. It’s so decadent.
"Hiss!"
Duobao Snake replied in the affirmative.
She trusted her instincts, and as long as she bought it, she would definitely make a profit.
Ji Mo began to participate in the bidding, and the price soon exceeded two million taels, and the quotations became sparse.
"Three million taels of gold!"
Ji Mo decisively made a high price.
This time, no one said anything.
Because this price has exceeded the bottom line of most people.
When shouting this number, Ji Mo's voice trembled.
This is intended to be a betting opportunity.
The worst that can happen is losing blood once, but this money is a windfall anyway.
Just when the auctioneer was about to make a final decision, Tang Heng spoke: "Three million and a half million taels."
Ji Mo turned around and saw Tang Heng with a mocking expression on his face, and said calmly: "Three million and one million taels."
"Three million and two hundred thousand taels. Country bumpkin, if you have the ability, follow me."
Tang Heng deliberately provoked.
Ji Mo couldn't stand this look, so he went against him, and soon the price of the Qiqiao Tiangong Ball soared to four million.
"I thought this Ji Mo was a character, but he turned out to be a fool."
In the VIP box, Tan Yun'ao made this comment.
To be angered by a low-level provoking method is really mindless.
He wasn't even interested in taking a look at this kind of person.
After hearing this, Zeng Qiyan looked a little unhappy. He regarded Ji Mo as his lifelong enemy. If the other party was a fool, wouldn't it make him look stupid too.
He knew that Ji Mo was by no means a simple person. He was a very serious and insidious person who was not easy to deal with.
When Ji Mo reached four million taels, Tang Heng suddenly stopped following.
It can be seen from the tangled expression on Ji Mo's face that this is his limit, and the other party will definitely not want more.
Tang Heng was so happy that the corners of his mouth almost cracked to the base of his ears when he thought of a little trick to cheat Ji Mo of an extra million taels of gold.
"Stupid pig, four million taels of gold bought a useless piece of garbage."
Tang Heng's face was full of pride, and he walked to Ji Mo and taunted: "I forgot to tell you that this Qiqiao Tiangong Ball is mine. Thank you for giving me so much money for free."
Seeing Ji Mo's expression as black as the bottom of a pot, he laughed even more proudly.
At this time, the auctioneer happened to bring the Qiqiao Tiangong Ball over. He happened to hear Tang Heng's words and couldn't help but glared at Tang Heng fiercely.
It's okay for you to deliberately inflate your auction items, but it's wrong to say it shamelessly. Isn't this deliberately misleading outsiders into thinking that our auction house is colluding with the sellers to defraud people.
The auctioneer was very unhappy and immediately decided to put Tang Heng on the undesirable list and would not cooperate with him again in the future.
The rule of the auction house is to deliver the goods in one hand and pay the money in the other hand, and the payment will be settled in both directions.
Ji Mo didn't say anything else, he just paid the bill and got the Qiqiao Tiangong Ball.
He played with it carefully and tried to turn it, obviously wanting to open it and see what was inside.
"It's ridiculous. With your IQ, you still want to open up this guy and pay for the goods. If you buy it back, you can just play it like a ball, haha!"
Tang Heng couldn't help but sneer. Even the blacksmith master couldn't open it, so you want to open it too. It's just a joke.
"Just because you have a low IQ and can't open it doesn't mean that others can't."
Ji Mo looked calm, his eyes focused on the Qiqiao Tiangong Ball, and he began to operate it with both hands.
"Ha, pretend it. If you can open it, I'll do it on the spot..."
Tang Heng continued to sarcastically, but stopped abruptly before he finished speaking.
With a "click" sound, the Qiqiao Tiangong Ball was opened by Ji Mo in twos and twos.
When the people around heard the movement, they all looked over with disbelief on their faces.
Then everyone opened their eyes wide, eager to see what was inside.
Ji Mo pulled out a ball of silk cloth as thin as cicada wings and slowly unfolded it.
