Chapter 1159: Lion Stone

After a brief opening remark, the black-bearded old man announced to everyone cleanly: "Everyone, today's auction will take place one day. One hundred yuan stones will be auctioned every day, and a total of three hundred yuan stones will be auctioned. Below. , Let us welcome today’s first round of auction items!"
When the words were over, four shirtless men lifted a boulder and walked onto the stage. The Yuanshi was strange in appearance, shaped like a fierce lion, as huge as a house.
Everyone couldn't help exclaiming when they saw such a big yuan stone. Someone said: "How does this primordial stone look like a lion? Could it be deliberately carved?"
Hearing his words, many people showed contemptuous expressions, and some even said: "The skin of the original stone is extremely hard. If you want to break it, most people present can do it. But if you want to carve it into such a shape, I'm afraid that very few people can do it. Furthermore, no one knows the thickness of the original stone hard shell, and accidentally leaks the spirit thing or the spirit-like aura inside. In this way, this original stone still has Is it worth it?"
Hearing this, the person who raised the suspicion before turned blushing, lowered his head and fell silent.
Zhang Jun stared at the lion-shaped primordial stone and looked at it secretly with Buddha eyes. I saw a lion-shaped light and shadow walking back and forth in the original stone, sometimes roaring up to the sky, sometimes standing still.
Seeing this situation, coupled with his many experiences with the Yuanshi, it can be judged that there is an innate spiritual treasure in the Yuanshi. But he can't be 100% sure, at most 80% sure.
He is observing, and the others are studying and pondering. The people who can come here are not weak, each with their own magical methods. Some monks simply jumped on the stage, approached and observed, touching and knocking there, with different expressions. Some frowned and thought, and some smiled, seemingly confident.
Most people talked softly in the audience, making comments there.
Seeing that everyone’s interest was mobilized, the black-bearded old man said: "Everyone, this lion-shaped stone is called the walking lion stone, which was previously treasured in the Great Summer Palace. After most experts have identified it, it has solved the probability of a spiritual thing. More than 50%. Of course, as for what kind of inspiration can be solved, it is impossible to know. But what can be concluded is that if a spiritual thing can be solved, it must be extremely extraordinary and priceless."
"Next, I announce that the starting price of this yuan stone is 5 billion Lingjing, and the price increase shall not be less than 500 million. Okay, the bidding officially begins!"
As soon as the old man with black beard's voice fell, someone below called out the price: "I'll pay five billion."
If someone can buy this yuan stone for 5 billion, it is definitely not expensive. After all, if the spirit can be solved, the value of the spirit must exceed 10 billion.
It is because of this calculation that everyone is vying for it, and those who increase the price are rushing. 5.5 billion, 6 billion, 6.5 billion, the price easily broke through to 8 billion.
Once the price went up to 8 billion, bidders dropped sharply, and only a dozen people remained in stalemate. Under their competition, the price finally exceeded 10 billion.
Ten billion is another pass, and only two people are still bidding. One of them is the second prince, and the other is an old man with blue eyes and blue skin.
At this point, Zhang Jun hesitated for a moment, and ordered the nine puppet princes to bid. Today's auction, if he personally participates, it is too high-profile, it will inevitably be suspected.
So he came forward with the Nine Princes, and the things he took still belonged to him. Furthermore, the nine princes have a high status and can play a deterrent effect in the auction process, forcing those who have financial but not much strength to not dare to compete with them too much, so as to minimize the consumption of spirit crystals.
As soon as the nine puppet princes came forward, they reported 12 billion spirit crystals.
As soon as the price was paid, the second prince and the blue-skinned old man were dumbfounded, and both of them looked at the nine puppet princes with an idiotic expression. They are all experts, and according to their estimation, the price of this yuan stone is between 11 billion and 12 billion. Once it exceeds 12 billion, the risk taken is too great for the wise to take.
The Ninth Prince raised the price to 12 billion as soon as he came up, obviously an outsider. Therefore, the two of them stopped fighting with them and gave up directly.
In this way, the puppet nine princes took the lion-shaped stone in one fell swoop. He walked onto the stage with a cold expression and took away the walking lion stone directly after delivering the spirit crystal.
When he stepped off the stage, a group of monks gathered around, and someone said, "His Royal Highness, if the spiritual object is solved, I am willing to purchase it at a high price."
Another said: "His Royal Highness, my Tiangong Building is good at unlocking yuan stones. If the Ninth Prince has any inconvenience, you can ask me to do it for you, the price is favorable."
The Ninth Prince ignored these people, he went straight back to his seat, waiting for the next round of auction.
At this time, in a private room located in a small folding space, a brave young man sat in the center. On his left and right are two beautiful young women.
The woman on the left saw that the Ninth Prince had obtained the Yuanshi, and said with a curled lips: "His Royal Highness, the Nine Princes seem to be confident."
The woman on the right disagreed, and sneered: "Mei Xiang, when have you ever heard someone say that this nine prince knows how to identify the primordial stone. I think he deliberately competed with the second prince to attract the attention of Princess Feihong. You didn’t see, Is Princess Feihong also at the scene?"
The young man known as the Great Royal Highness is the Great Prince of Da Xia. He has been fighting all year round and does not want to appear here. He said: "Mei Xiang is right. The nine princes are low-key, but they are not stupid. He made a decisive move today. It must be guided by an expert, otherwise it would not be so generous."
Mei Xiang was very happy when he heard the praise, and asked, "Since your Highness thinks so, why not compete with him for the original stone?"
His Royal Highness said lightly: "This auction will sell three hundred yuan stones. The finale is still behind. What are you worried about? You have strength and you should use it at a critical moment."
While talking, the second round of auctions began.
A strong man walked up to the high platform with a plate in his hands, covered with a piece of silk cloth. When he stood in the middle of the platform, the black-bearded old man announced, "Dear friends, this is a square-shaped stone, named'Heaven and Earth Seal', from a mysterious place outside Daxia. There are natural words on the stone. Inscribed, the four words are "I alone dominate.""
Having said that, the strong man untied the silk cloth to reveal the contents. Sure enough, it was a large, square white seal the size of a human head.
There was a layer of purple cloud and smoke surrounding the big seal. The cloud and smoke actually condensed into birds and beasts, soldiers, horses and human figures. At the same time, an atmosphere of latitude and longitude was released from the original stone, making people feel like they want to worship.
There are indeed four characters at the bottom of the big seal, written in divine writing, called "Only I Dominate". As soon as this seal was printed, the scene was boiling, and many people stared at the "print of heaven and earth."
The old man with black beard smiled slightly and was very satisfied with everyone's reaction. He said: "This world seal is the 72nd treasure on the Yuanshi list. It seems that your eyesight is very good. Here, it's good. The price starts at 12 billion Lingjing, and each increase must not be less than one billion. Next, the auction begins."
Everyone's interest in the seal of heaven and earth far exceeds the previous lion stone. Prices soared, 12 billion, 13 billion, 15 billion, and they quickly climbed to 20 billion.
Zhang Jun disagrees with this, he observes with Buddha's eyes. I saw that there was a breath wandering within the Yuanshi. According to his speculation, that aura should be the reason for the aura and spirituality of the world seal.
What he can conclude is that this primordial stone is absolutely incapable of unraveling spiritual things, at best it can dissect a strange breath. As for the breath, he couldn't judge.
In the private room in the small folding space, the eldest prince finally moved, and his faint but majestic voice came out: "Two hundred and one billion."
The price was reported, and the scene suddenly became quiet. To reach 2 billion is already the limit of most people's financial resources. However, there are still seven or eight people competing, clenching their teeth.
After the prince quoted, they raised the price to 24 billion in one breath.
"Twenty-five billion!" The second prince once again participated in the bidding, and at the same time he glanced at the small space where the prince was, and seemed to have heard the identity of the bidder.
The eldest prince frowned slightly. The price actually rushed to 25 billion, and he couldn't help but hesitate. With his eyesight, the price of this primordial stone cannot exceed 24 billion. Once it exceeds, it will bear too much risk. He is a very sensible person, and after a little thought, he gave up the bidding.
The rest of the people were still unwilling to give up, and eventually raised the price to a higher level. The second prince bought this "print of heaven and earth" at a price of 28 billion.
After taking away the seal of heaven and earth on the stage, the second prince glanced at the location of Princess Feihong, which was meaningful. Princess Feihong was sitting next to the fifth prince, and she ignored the second prince's gaze.
She asked the five princes: "His Royal Highness, the first two yuan stones have been eye-opening. I don't know what the finale yuan stones will look like today."
The fifth prince smiled slightly. He shook the folding fan lightly, with a chic demeanor, and said: "Today's auction of 100 pieces of inspiration, these two pieces can only be regarded as medium goods. As far as the final stone is concerned, even the palace is extremely greedy, you I'll know in a while."
Gu Yexiu smiled "hehe" and added: "Although the South China Sea has countless treasures, it is far inferior to the land based on the number of Yuanshi."
Princess Feihong obviously thinks so too. She nodded and said, "Although there are so many treasures in the South China Sea, it is a pity that it is hard to find the precious stones. Otherwise, the South China Sea will be twice as prosperous as it is now."
Next, piece after piece of Yuanshi was auctioned off. The price of these stones ranges from billions to tens of billions.
As time passed, Zhang Jun did not waste time. One of his clones entered other auction rooms and auctioned that set of medicines by cooperating with others to auction, including the Heavenly Pill, the Star Cultivation Pill, and the Jiefang Pill.
In this auction, the price of elixirs could roughly reach four to five billion yuan, achieving the maximum profit. However, he only sold 20 sets at auction and then left.
