Xianyuan Farm
Chapter 659: Meteorite Auction
The first item was bought by Gu Hongyu, but Gu Hongyu was not unhappy at all. Expensive watches can be used as collectibles. The older they are, the more valuable they may be. Therefore, the fact that someone else has worn them did not reduce the value of PatekPhilippe.
With the initial opening enthusiasm, the following items were also sold at a good price, which made the county governor Andrew, who was wandering around the party, very happy. The hot auction meant his success. He would clink his wine glass with others and take a sip when he saw a participant with a bright face.
There were many items auctioned at the charity party, and the classification was quite complicated. In addition to jewelry, accessories, and famous watches and antiques, there were also some calligraphy and paintings, and all kinds of strange things. After bidding on a few ladies' corsages and necklace pendants, an item that everyone was very unfamiliar with was brought up by the etiquette lady.
The auction item that caught Gu Hongyu's eye was a gray stone, only slightly larger than an adult's palm, in an irregular rectangular shape, which could be said to be quite inconspicuous.
Its appearance immediately caused people in the venue to whisper.
"What are these things? The value of this thing is far less than the items auctioned before."
"Maybe it's someone's prank."
"Maybe it's some strange stone. There are still many people who like this thing."
"I'm not interested in this. Let's see what the next one is."
""
While everyone was talking, the auctioneer on the stage pressed his hands down: "Everyone, be quiet. Maybe you know nothing about this thing. Then I will tell you now that this is a stone, but it is not an ordinary stone. It has a great origin."
After whetting everyone's appetite, the auctioneer introduced: "This stone is a meteorite to be exact. The density of the meteorite itself is very high. The mass of the same volume is heavier than gold. The mass of the stone in my hand is 1335 kilograms. If anyone doesn't believe it, you can come up and take a look."
"A palm-sized stone is so heavy. It means that the auctioneer had a hard time lifting it with both hands just now. That's it." Lin Feiyu looked eager to go up to the stage to find out.
But soon he found something very wrong, that is, Gu Hongyu beside him was not reacting properly. Now Gu Hongyu was tense all over, staring at the meteorite without blinking, with a dull expression as if he had lost his soul.
At this moment. Gu Hongyu, who was tense all over just now, suddenly trembled his lips, as if his body was stimulated and shivering, but beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. This situation was too unexpected.
Lin Feiyu quickly supported Gu Hongyu and asked anxiously: "Boss, what's wrong with you?"
In fact, Lin Feiyu's attention was attracted by the auctioneer just now. When the black stone was presented, Gu Hongyu had already started to be wrong, but Lin Feiyu didn't notice it.
Time moved forward a few seconds, and the sight turned to Gu Hongyu.
Just when the unremarkable stone was presented, the mark on Gu Hongyu's wrist, which had been motionless for a long time, began to feel hot crazily. It made his wrist feel like it was being burned by a raging fire.
However, this is not the most important thing. The stone also caused a spiritual resonance in Gu Hongyu's body, and the immortal art of cultivation started to run on its own. The speed of the operation in the body was obviously higher than the strength of daily cultivation. Gu Hongyu felt that the blood vessels in his body were stretched and expanded.
A hot and warm current was violently impacting the tendons and veins in the body. Gu Hongyu's tendons and veins, which were like streams before, were expanded into rivers.
However, after this tearing feeling, Gu Hongyu felt that his tendons and veins suddenly became warm after the torrent ran, and his body was very comfortable.
Gu Hongyu's cultivation method was Qingling Jue. Although the method was extremely powerful, it progressed very slowly due to the earth's spiritual energy. His current level of cultivation was only about the second level of Qi Refining Stage. If he could not refine pills and the support of the immortal source space, it would be good to break through to the Qi Refining Stage.
However, the appearance of this stone caused Gu Hongyu's cultivation method to run abnormally, and even made his cultivation level almost break through to the third level. When Lin Feiyu saw Gu Hongyu sweating profusely, he was gritting his teeth to control the huge amount of true energy in his body.
After feeling the torment of ice and fire, he finally calmed down the true energy in his body temporarily. The slap from Lin Feiyu almost made all Gu Hongyu's previous efforts go to waste.
However, looking at Lin Feiyu's concerned and questioning eyes, Gu Hongyu thought that he should deal with the current situation first, so he made an excuse: "I'm fine. I don't know why my stomach hurt so badly just now. I'm going to the toilet first. I'm very interested in the stone on the stage. I must get it for me no matter what."
"Oh, okay, then go to the toilet quickly. Call me immediately if you have any questions." Lin Feiyu thought that Gu Hongyu should have acute gastroenteritis or something. He had this disease before. It was painful, just like Gu Hongyu's forehead sweating and lips trembling.
His sight shifted to the auction table. At present, the stone had not been auctioned off. Not only that, the atmosphere on the scene was a bit cold.
Perhaps there were no stone lovers attending tonight's charity gala. No matter how eloquent the auctioneer was, there were still many people watching the stone, but only a few actually made bids.
The auctioneer on the stage was also helpless. The prices of other items sold today were all good, and the response was very good, but this stone completely wiped out his good mood. He began to blame the treasure owner who sent this stone for auction.
However, it is the auctioneer's professional duty to promote this stone. The auctioneer said passionately: "The current price of this stone is 12,000 Australian dollars. Each bid will increase by 1,000 Australian dollars. Are there any higher bids?"
"You know, this is a meteorite. According to the owner, it has not been tested by experts yet. It can be said that there is a lot of room for appreciation. Scarcity makes things valuable. If you miss this opportunity, you will miss it. VIPs who want to buy it should take action and consider it as a contribution to charity."
"Haha, then I will bid 13,000 Australian dollars."
"As a contribution to Yorkshire charity, I will bid 15,000 Australian dollars."
""
The upper-class Australian nobles were persuaded by the auctioneer. Although they didn't know the real price of the meteorite, the group of people who could participate in the charity gala usually appeared in the public eye as positive characters and paid more attention to their reputation. Besides, the current price of meteorites is really not expensive. It doesn't matter if you really buy it for 10,000 or 20,000 Australian dollars. Of course, when it exceeds the value in their hearts, they will just not bid.
Lin Feiyu was a little surprised now. The meteorite that no one wanted just now actually rose continuously. The auction price had increased to 24,000 Australian dollars, and then it slowly returned to a stable level.
At this time, Gu Hongyu had already pretended to walk back to his seat from the bathroom. After his exercise and control, there was no more Qi running automatically in his body. The only abnormality was that the mark on his wrist continued to heat up.
"Before I left, almost no one bid for this meteorite, but now it has been raised to this price." Looking at the auctioneer's hysterical shouting, Gu Hongyu asked in surprise.
"Ah, boss, are you okay now?" Lin Feiyu asked: "Since you are back, you can bid for this stone yourself"
It happened that the auctioneer continued to encourage the atmosphere on the scene: "The rare mysterious meteorite is now priced at 25,000 Australian dollars. Is there anyone who continues to bid?"
"26,000 Australian dollars." Gu Hongyu raised his hand and shouted.
"Okay, another gentleman has raised the price by one thousand yuan. Are there any more people who continue to bid?"
There are very few people left in the venue who continue to bid. It can be said that only Gu Hongyu and another Australian are raising the price. The voice of Gu Hongyu's price increase immediately attracted many people's attention.
"Wow, it's that young oriental boss again."
"Do you think there is any secret in the meteorite? The previous boss didn't make any move until the end."
"I don't dare to agree with your idea. If there is a secret, will the treasure holder still auction it at the charity gala?"
"That's true. Let's continue to watch."
The other person bidding for the meteorite is not very old. Maybe he saw that Gu Hongyu attracted a lot of attention. Dissatisfaction flashed on his face. He shouted casually with some anger: "27,000 Australian dollars."
Gu Hongyu glanced at the other party and said calmly: "28,000 Australian dollars."
"29,000."
"30,000."
""
The two seemed to be fighting hard. If you raise the price by one thousand, I will raise it by one thousand immediately.
The price of the meteorite also rose to 4,000 Australian dollars during the argument between the two. The young man who was competing with Gu Hongyu showed dissatisfaction on his face at the moment, but when it was his turn to bid, he hesitated and waited for a while without raising the price.
Osborne was very unhappy. He was the one who bid against Gu Hongyu for the meteorite. He didn't take the meteorite seriously at first, but after hearing others talking about Gu Hongyu, he didn't want the Oriental man to keep showing off.
However, he didn't expect Gu Hongyu to raise the price to 40,000 Australian dollars for a meteorite. Usually, 40,000 Australian dollars was not much in Osborne's eyes, but he thought it was too naive to argue with Gu Hongyu for a meteorite, and he wanted to withdraw but it was a hindrance to his face. He felt a bit like riding a tiger and it was difficult to get off.
Seeing his hesitation, a pure and lovely girl beside him pulled him back: "Forget it, Osborne, there will be good things later. What's the point of buying this ugly stone?"
With this step, Osborne finally breathed a sigh of relief: "I think that Oriental man is stupid and rich, I won't compete with him."
Seeing that Osborne did not raise the price for a long time, the auctioneer began to encourage him again, but after looking at the reaction on the scene, he finally shouted: "40,000 Australian dollars, it's that young boss from the East who got the mysterious and rare meteorite again, everyone congratulate him" To be continued.
