The Immortal Emperor Returns Chapter 164 - The Auction!

Chapter 164 The Auction!

The car drove straight to the Hua Family home.
There was no one at the door to welcome them.
They wanted to welcome Chu Xun at the door, but Chu Xun would not let them do it.
This time, he wanted to keep a low profile. He did not want his arrival to be made known to the public.
The only goal this time was to get the furnace.
Chu Xun and Hua Qingwu spent the whole day at the Hua Family home.
The next day.
Hua Sheng came over and told them that the auction was about to begin.
They hurriedly made their way to the Linghang Auction House.
In the car, Hua Sheng took out a knight mask and a princess mask.
“What are these for?” Hua Qingwu asked.
“This is the idea of the organizer of this auction, because the items that will be presented in this auction have caused a sensation. For the sake of the bidders’ safety, everyone must wear a mask.” Hua Sheng explained.
The princess mask was exquisitely made. It was slightly golden in color and as thin as the wings of cicadas. Hua Qingwu did not reject it.
Chu Xun had no problem with that.
After Hua Qingwu put on her mask, Chu Xun could not help smiling bitterly.
She wore a black dress. Her skin was as white as snow and her lips were flaming red. Her long and fair neck was exposed. Anyone who saw her would have the urge to take off her mask and take a peek at her face.
It had to be said that Hua Qingwu was very eye-catching. When she put on the light golden princess mask, not only did it not hide her stunning appearance, but it also added a sense of mystery.
“Do I look beautiful?” Hua Qingwu thought it was fun.
Chu Xun nodded with a smile on his face.
Hua Qingwu smiled sweetly. This was the most beautiful and pleasant love talk in the world for her.
The Linghang Building!
The gilded words ‘Linghang Building’ shone in the winter sunshine.
The auction would be held on the 22nd floor.
It had the safest security system in the world.
The three of them had gone through a total of 18 strict inspections along the way to the 22nd floor, publicly or covertly.
The auction here was different from what they had imagined.
In the TV series, the auctioneer would stand on the stage and speak excitedly, while the bidders would sit below and raise their cards to bid. If the auction was a high-end sort, the place would be divided into several parts for people from different classes, but everything was transparent.
This time, however, the auction was a secret one.
There were hundreds of rooms on the 22nd floor and they were all VIP rooms. In each room, there was a large display screen, on which the auction items would be presented. If the bidder wanted the auction item, he or she could bid on it by using the voice-changing microphone.
This kind of auction was rare, but it would protect the privacy of the guests.
On each door of the VIP room, there was a light. If there was a person inside, the light on the door would be red. If it was vacant, it would be green.
If you saw a red light on the door, you would have to choose another VIP room.
Besides, the people here were all wearing masks, so no one would know which VIP room you were in. Even if they knew the room number, they did not know who was inside the room.
“Let’s go into this room! This number is good.” Hua Qingwu chose room No. 77, because she liked the number ‘7’.
Chu Xun had no problem with it, neither did Hua Sheng.
The three of them went into room No. 77.
The room was not big, with an area of more than 50 square meters. The floor felt soft under their feet as soon as they entered the room. The floor was covered with a soft hand-made Bohemian style carpet, and the whole room was red in color.
On seeing the room, Chu Xun frowned secretly.
“Sir, is there any problem?” Hua Sheng noticed Chu Xun’s expression and asked.
“The Linghang Auction House is really not simple. It has a thorough understanding of human nature.” Chu Xun said indifferently.
“What are you talking about?” Hua Qingwu was puzzled.
Chu Xun walked over and sat on the soft sofa. He said indifferently, “Look, the decoration here is mainly red. This will stir up the bloodthirstiness in the depths of one’s heart easily.”
Hua Qingwu still did not understand it.
Hua Sheng was also confused.
“The logic is simple. This is a type of psychological magic. It is also called a psychological hint,” Chu Xun paused for a moment and continued, “It is common for people to bid at an auction. If there is a dispute between both parties, people will calm down easily if the surroundings are mainly white. However, if all that they see is red, they will get excited and lose their minds easily. Then, they will raise the prices crazily.”
Hua Qingwu and Hua Sheng were shocked by Chu Xun’s words.
Hua Sheng’s expression was particularly strange. No wonder when he came here in the past, he was always choked up with emotion and became hot-tempered, which did not reflect his usual self-restraint at all. It seemed that he had been framed.
...
The auction started!
The big display screen was turned on.
“Hello, everyone. I am the auctioneer. Welcome to this auction. All the staff of Linghang Auction House feel honored and thank you for your participation!”
A low, attractive male voice came from the sound system.
“I know that you are all busy, so I will not waste your time. Let’s start the auction now. Please look at the first item.”
The screen flickered and green lights shone and refracted on the screen. The first item was a piece of jade garment.
There was a detailed explanation next to the jade garment.
It was a piece of jade garment sewn with gold wires.
Its length was 174 centimeters, and its width was 68 centimeters.
It was made up of 4248 pieces of Hetian white jade and green jade and was sewn with 1576 grams of gold wires.
It was made more than 2,000 years ago.
It had been unearthed from the tomb of Liu Wu, the king of Chu.
It was said that it had the effect of bringing the dead back to life.
The jade garment sewn with gold wires rotated slowly in the picture, so that every single guest could appreciate it from all angles.
Pur!
Hua Sheng swallowed his saliva.
Chu Xun and Hua Qingwu could not help looking at him.
Hua Sheng blushed and smiled ashamedly.
If it really could bring the dead back to life, it would be a divine object.
There could be no doubt that people in the other VIP rooms were definitely in a state of excitement.
“The first item has been shown to everyone. Now the auction begins and the base price is 50 million.” The auctioneer’s voice sounded.
“50 million.”
As soon as the auctioneer finished speaking, someone could not wait to bid.
“60 million.”
“80 million.”
“100 million.”
The sounds of bidding were heard one after another.
Soon, the price of the jade garment sewn with gold wires had exceeded 300 million.
Now that the auction price of the first item had become so high, it seemed that the following items would be more expensive.
“Sir, can the jade garment sewn with gold wires really bring the dead back to life?” Hua Sheng asked.
Chu Xun sneered and said with disdain, “The jade contains spiritual energy, so it is beneficial to one’s body. However, it is too ridiculous to say that it can bring the dead back to life. It can’t be true.”
Hua Sheng understood.
“However, the jade which this jade garment sewn with gold wires is made of, is quite good,” Chu Xun said.
“Then let’s buy it!” Hua Qingwu said loudly in a domineering manner.
She did have the ability to do that. The total assets of the Bai Family that Chen Hanlong had taken over, Chen Hanlong’s own Jinyuan Corporation, Zheng Guangyi’s Qiankun Group, and the Hua Family were absolutely shocking.
Chu Xun shook his head and said, “No. It is not that good.”
The auction continued and the price soon reached 350 million.
It was not important whether the jade garment sewn with gold wires could bring the dead back to life or not. The value of the jade garment sewn with gold wires was extraordinary and it was absolutely worth collecting.
In the end, the jade garment sewn with gold wires was sold to the bidder in the VIP room No. 36 at a price of 380 million.
“Alright, it is time for the second item to be auctioned,” the auctioneer said.
Then the screen flickered again and an ancient sword appeared, shining with a cold light.
Beside it was the detailed introduction.
It was Sword of Goujian.
The sword was 55.7 centimeters long and 4.6 centimeters wide. The sword hilt was 8.4 centimeters long and weighed 875 grams.
It had been buried for a thousand years, but it was not rusty.
The engraving ‘Made and Used by King Goujian’, as well as birds and insects, were carved on it.
It was known to be the greatest sword in the world.
Across the screen, everyone could feel the coldness and sharpness of the sword.
Chu Xun raised his eyebrows and secretly said, “What a good sword!”
“Do you want to buy it?” Hua Qingwu asked.
Chu Xun nodded slightly.
