There were many rare treasures on the market in the previous auction items. Even some legendary rare magic materials appeared in the auction. Such treasures are marketable and priceless things. Even Claire was moved several times when he saw it. However, for the sake of the tube of Life Potion at the back, Claire still reluctantly refused to auction it.
The previous auction items were gradually auctioned off by others, and even a legendary knight's sword passed down from the previous era was auctioned for more than 5 million yuan. The legendary knight was Sword Saint Willie, which was well known on this continent.
Not only did Claire not think of this, but the people at the auction probably didn't think of it either. That sword was more valuable as an antique. If it was used for fighting, it would not be as good as the weapons made by some of the current forging masters. After all, even epic-level treasures would be worn away by time after thousands of years.
The person who auctioned the sword was a VIP who was in the highest-level box like Claire. Claire looked over, but was blocked by the one-way reflective glass.
Maybe the person who won the auction was a loyal fan of Sword Saint Willie, otherwise he wouldn't have spent such a high price to buy a useless sword.
Claire shook his head and continued to wait for Life Potion to appear.
After almost half an hour, as the auctioneer's hammer fell, the scene fell into silence, and everyone knew that the final auction item should be on the stage next.
The auctioneer also had ten seconds to spare, picked up the tea on the auction table and took a few sips to moisten his throat.
After a while, a beautiful woman with long white legs came up holding a treasure box in both hands. The two long white legs were intertwined with each other, which was overwhelming. As she moved, certain two parts of her body rose and fell together, which was very eye-catching.
Unlike most of the people below, Claire's eyes were fixed on that treasure box, and his heart was suddenly lifted. There was the Life Potion he needed.
In the next-level box, a white-haired old man with shriveled and wrinkled skin, like Claire, stared closely at the treasure box held in the hands of the long-legged beauty. His skinny fists were curled up hard, and the veins on them were visible to the naked eye.
After the beautiful woman put the auction items on the auction table, she twisted her waist and walked down. The eyes of the people on the auction seat below followed her movement.
The auctioneer also smiled knowingly. Although this method is a bit vulgar, it is very effective.
"Bang!" The sound of the hammer falling sounded again, attracting everyone's attention.
The auctioneer then cleared his throat and said, "This lot is Vitality Replenishing Potion. It comes from the hands of Master Morey, one of the four masters of pharmacy in the capital. I believe everyone knows the effect of Life Potion, right? It can extend the life of the user for nearly fifty or sixty years. Many customers are attracted by it, so I won't say more. The starting price is three million, let's start now!"
"Bang!" The auction hammer sounded again.
At the same time, another voice also sounded quickly, "Five million Gold Coins!"
The person who shouted these words was not Claire, but the skinny old man in another box. His fists were clenched tightly and his face was very nervous.
At this time, Claire also walked to the glass and looked at the box where the sound had just come from. He heard the feeling that the old tree was about to wither from the other party's voice, "Count Hawk..."
It's a pity. If it were a normal day, I could give this potion to you, but now I have to fight!
"Five and a half million." Claire's voice was extremely dull, and what he wanted was this dull sense of oppression!
In the box, Hawke stood up directly and looked up at the box where Claire was. It was a box that could only be owned by VIPs with a higher status than him. His eyes flickered a few times, revealing a trace of despair.
The auctioneer on the stage was delighted to hear the news. Their auction house had known about the news from Count Hawk for a long time. If no one competed with him, the price of Life Potion would definitely be lower than expected, which they did not want.
The other guests were also very excited. It was a good experience to see two wealthy people throwing money and grabbing things.
Count Hawk After struggling for a few times, a look of determination flashed across his eyes. He was about to die, so why were he afraid of this and that?
Immediately shouted, "Six million!"
At the same time, he turned his head and shouted in the direction of Claire: "This distinguished guest! I need this potion very much. If you are willing to give it to me, I will be very grateful!"
Claire is not the kind of person who can impress someone with just a few words. He responded directly, "I also need it very much, 6.5 million!"
Count Hawk's face turned cold and he shouted, "Seven million! In that case, let's directly compare who has the strongest financial resources!"
Claire looked back at Shane, the meaning was obvious: didn't you say that he could collect up to five or six million? Now it's seven million. What's going on?
Shane also looked helpless, "How can we be sure about this kind of thing? Maybe their family is willing to pay a higher price..."
Indeed, Count Hawk made full preparations for this potion, and gave away a large part of his interests and power. Only then did he win the support of the elders in the family. This time he is bound to win!
Claire rubbed his chin vigorously with his thumb and index finger a few times, and then shouted, "Seven million three hundred and eighty thousand!"
A hint of joy flashed in Count Hawk's eyes when he heard this number. What does it mean that it is not 7.5 million but 7.38 million? It means that the other party has the most money, which is 7.38 million! As long as you exceed this amount, the potion will be yours!
"Seven and a half million!" Count Hawk immediately shouted loudly.
Claire bit his lip gently and began to snap his knuckles expressionlessly. His overall condition was not very good. Shane on the side also stood up and walked over quickly.
Claire's knuckles rang one by one, and he turned around and asked, "Can you help me borrow money now?"
Shane looked a little embarrassed and replied, "I am now in the stage of establishing my own business. I have to rely on myself for everything. I cannot ask for a penny from my family, nor can I borrow..."
"It's okay..." Claire shook his head. He was not incompetent enough to blame Shane, "I was not prepared properly, thinking that more than seven million would be enough."
The auctioneer below saw that there was no sound from Claire for a long time and slowly raised the auction hammer in his hand, just as he was about to start the countdown.
"Eight million!" Claire shouted immediately.
"Where did you get the money?! You can't make blind claims here. After taking the photo, you have to do property verification. If you can't pay, you will be blacklisted." Shane asked with his eyes widened.
"At worst, mortgage the three pieces of Iron Ore in the territory to the Lixis Merchant Guild first. Even if the price is reduced, you can still mortgage several million." Claire pursed his lips and said.
This has affected the normal operation of Nafu City, and Claire's heart is also a little shaken. The lives of his own citizens have just got on the right track. If the minerals are sold, a large number of people will be affected. The cultivation plane is just a plane that will not be encountered in the future. Is it really worth it?
"You don't want those minerals anymore?" Shane's reaction was more shocked than Claire's.
"It's just a mortgage. I can buy it back when I have money later." Claire said easily, but he knew that if he wanted to buy it back, he would probably have to pay a higher price to buy it back, which would be a total loss.
Count Hawk in the box had his eyes widened and was so angry that he coughed loudly.
Pointing at Claire's box, he shouted, "I don't believe he has so much money. He couldn't even pay out 7.5 million just now. I suspect he is disrupting the normal auction. I ask the auction house to verify his funds!"
