The fat man thought to himself, but his heart couldn't help but race.
Anything that appeared in such a venue, he couldn't lie to himself by saying it was worthless.
"Wuwu, boss, this thing... this thing, Fatty is sorry."
The fat man wailed, as if his wife had run off with someone else.
"Calm down, it's just a little money, don't be sad."
Zhang Tian chuckled softly, and the fat man's composure instantly broke.
Hu Bayi also swallowed, wanting to know just how valuable this thing was.
"Qi Gathering Pill, refined by condensing the vital energy of heaven and earth with countless immortal herbs, an auxiliary cultivation pill."
"This pill is extremely precious and can enhance the user's cultivation, breaking through barriers. Martial artists would surely not want to miss it."
"Starting bid, five million! Each increment must not be less than one hundred thousand!"
After the cheongsam-clad woman on stage finished speaking.
Down below, the fat man twitched all over.
He fainted on the spot.
Zhang Tian quickly pinched his philtrum.
The fat man gasped for air, his eyes filled with sadness.
"Fatty spent five million?"
"I'm truly a prodigal, damn it."
The fat man couldn't feel worse.
Did anyone think he didn't love money?
Zhang Tian glanced around. The fat man's fainting did not attract the attention of those nearby.
This guy's emotional resilience is too poor, not even as good as Hu...
Just as he thought this, he saw Hu Bayi also stunned, his face full of regret.
This thing made money faster than robbing a bank.
"Five million two hundred thousand!"
"Five million three hundred thousand."
"Five million seven hundred thousand, I'll take this pill."
At this moment, a voice came from a private box above.
The boxes were strictly controlled, so no one knew who was inside.
The voice was a bit hoarse, and it carried a hint of oppressive authority when the speaker spoke.
Zhang Tian had not expected that a mere pill could be bid up to such a sky-high price.
Five million could build a skyscraper in Beili City, yet it was used to buy a broken pill?
Zhang Tian didn't think the pill was that amazing. He had taken one before, and it had at most helped him break through one realm.
Suddenly, Zhang Tian seemed to have an idea.
"If the pill can help me break through, then it can surely help others break through. That means the person inside wants the pill to potentially help their descendants break through."
Zhang Tian's mind cleared instantly.
It seemed this person was from a prominent family.
To cultivate a prodigy, five million was worth it!
And it was a huge profit!
After that voice, no one else bid, clearly not wanting to provoke that person.
The cheongsam beauty frowned slightly, but she couldn't say anything.
"Congratulations to the guest in private box No. 4 for winning the treasure."
The cheongsam beauty said, feeling a little displeased. The value of this pill was around six million!
"Next, we invite our next auction item, a legendary jade pendant!"
"The function of a legendary jade pendant, I believe everyone knows, so I won't elaborate. This one contains a breathing technique that can cultivate Qi."
"Longevity!"
"This technique is suitable for all ages to practice. The starting bid is ten million, and each increment must not be less than five hundred thousand."
After speaking, a plate was brought up.
On it was the legendary jade pendant.
Zhang Tian swallowed.
Ten million for one, he was worth...
"I've obtained one before, two, three..."
Zhang Tian could no longer count.
This was just the most basic breathing technique. If it were a martial skill or a movement technique, Zhang Tian dared not imagine.
"Are they crazy? Aren't these things everywhere in tombs? Why are they so expensive?"
Zhang Tian became a little excited. He wanted to take out the jade pendants with techniques he had found in tombs and sell them.
But he thought about it. There was nothing that had attracted him yet, so he restrained himself.
Unless absolutely necessary, Zhang Tian would not touch the legendary jade pendants.
After all, once you sell one, it proves you have more, and you will definitely be investigated.
"Fifteen million."
As soon as he finished speaking, someone immediately bid up by five million.
At this point, Hu Bayi and Fatty were already numb.
So, they were the real hicks.
Hu Bayi now admired and trusted Zhang Tian even more.
Such items were given to them. Each one was worth tens of millions. He, Hu Bayi, had received two, not to mention Fatty's broken sword.
It was probably even more valuable.
"The boss has been silently sacrificing so much for us..."
"Alas, Fatty is truly ungrateful."
Hu Bayi thought to himself.
With tears in his eyes, he looked at Zhang Tian.
Hu Bayi's gaze made Zhang Tian feel a bit creeped out. What was going on with him?
His sexual orientation seemed a little off.
This had to be nipped in the bud.
Not many people were bidding for this jade pendant. No one from the private boxes above made a move.
Only a few bosses in the audience were bidding.
Clearly, the people in the private boxes disdained these items.
"Brother Huahua, how much money did you bring this time?"
At this moment, Xiu Xiu stood beside Xie Yuchen and asked cheekily.
"Two hundred million."
Xie Yuchen replied, his eyes showing a hint of tenderness.
"Wow, so much! I brought one hundred and fifty million too. This time, we're definitely going to get it!"
Huo Xiuxiu was beaming with joy.
This time, they had come to compete for the last item.
For this item, the two families were even willing to cooperate to get it.
"This time, my master's long-standing ailment depends on it. If successful, our Xie family will also rise to prominence."
Xie Yuchen was a little excited.
Meanwhile, on stage.
The legendary jade pendant was finally bought by a foreigner for twenty million.
This kind of thing, anyone with even a little cultivation background would not think highly of it.
Zhang Tian didn't pay attention to foreigners buying this item, but Fatty complained a few times.
Originally, Xinyue Hotel did not allow foreigners to participate, but for some reason, perhaps due to insufficient funds, they made an exception.
With the jade pendant sold, the host on stage was also very happy.
Twenty million for a useless item, it was definitely a profit.
Following that, five or six more items were auctioned.
Most of them were divine objects.
Very few small items.
And when the host spoke this time, Zhang Tian's entire body tensed up.
"Next, we will be auctioning a compass from the Heavenly Palace! This compass is the Heavenly Palace Compass and can divine fate!"
"It can calculate Yin and Yang and is a divine object, suitable for experts who can divine fortunes and tell fortunes!"
"Starting bid, ten million, each increment must not be less than five hundred thousand."
As she spoke, the hall fell silent.
There were not many people who could divine fortunes these days.
Besides Qi Tieye back then, who else could divine fortunes?
Moreover, divination required extremely strong techniques. At the slightest misstep, one's lifespan would be shortened. This thing was a trap.
Of course, if your cultivation was very high, like Zhuge Liang, who could extend his life with the Seven Stars, then it would be possible.
The audience was silent.
Not even anyone from the boxes above spoke.
Clearly, no one present was a diviner.
Even if there were, they wouldn't dare to speak out at this moment. Doing so would expose their identity.
Zhang Tian hesitated. Would coming forward now make him a target?
"Eleven million."
Just as Zhang Tian was hesitating, a cold voice suddenly came from a dim corner.
Zhang Tian sharply turned his gaze toward the sound.
He saw that Zhang Qilin had pressed the button and called out a number.
After he spoke, all eyes in the hall turned to him.
Anyone who could use the Heavenly Palace Compass to divine fortunes was definitely an extraordinary person. They would either recruit him or destroy him!
They all wanted to see who it was that intended to buy such an item.
"You..."
Zhang Tian was stunned when he saw this.
"I can see that you want it..."
After Zhang Qilin's voice, Zhang Tian was stunned.
He had been watching him all along?
But he had not brought him any benefits, only given him a few clues.
He hadn't even told him the whole truth, yet he was doing this for him. Zhang Tian was momentarily speechless and didn't know what to do.
The younger brother curved his lips into a smile, exuding an imposing aura.
A chilling sensation and pressure made the people in the hall breathless.
The next moment, countless gazes looking at him retracted.
At this moment, countless people came to one conclusion.
This black-clothed man in the Zhongshan suit was a master!
