Chapter 4178: Auction Chips
These pictures were embedded within refined crystals, with runes flowing on top of them, sealing the ancient pictures inside. They seemed to come from various sources like bone books and beast hides, and each of them portrayed a bronze cauldron.
Most of these pictures could be split into two depictions. One of those two was the cauldron in Long Chens hand, but there was a completely different set of runes in the others.
Not good! The Heaven Earth Cauldron is made of the Earth Cauldron and Heaven Cauldron, and their runes are completely different! Long Chen looked at the fake that Xia Chen and Guo Ran had just made, feeling dumbfounded.
If the Heaven Cauldron had completely different runes, how was he supposed to sell it afterward? This was different from his plan. He couldnt con people like this.
Everyone, take a look. Amongst these pictures, there are two types of cauldrons. They should be quite trustworthy. However, Long Chens Heaven Earth Cauldron only matches one of them. Thus, our Soaring Dragon Company does not dare to arrogantly declare anything. We can only say that this cauldron is not a fake item. But whether or not it is the true Heaven Earth Cauldron cannot be said, said the head appraiser.
When these pictures were revealed, the experts present were befuddled. The Soaring Dragon Company didnt dare to guarantee the veracity of this item because they were afraid of the responsibility.
However, their meaning was very clear now. This item was definitely something ancient; there was nothing faking it. But whether or not it was the Heaven Earth Cauldron, they refused to say. It would be up to each individuals own opinion.
With this, everyone was conflicted. Looking at this cauldron, they felt that it really might be the real deal.
Long Chen, how are you selling this cauldron? What do we trade for it? asked someone.
If I dont know whether its real or not, how am I supposed to sell it? Long Chen frowned.
.
We dont know if its real or not either! Its a gamble. Gambling is dangerous. Whether you win or not is partly luck and partly your own vision. So, why dont you just declare a price? If its acceptable, well be willing to take a gamble. However, if you ask for a lions bite, then were not foolish enough to risk it all considering that we cant know the authenticity of it. Other than that, let me just say that this thing is a hot potato. If you have the ability to keep it, then thats one thing. If you dont have though, then hehe, dont lose your money and life together. A sinister voice came from the room emitting devil qi.
Tch, youre threatening me? Did you think that Im a coward? Long Chen sneered. Given my temper, Id refuse to sell it and see just what you could say. However, a person like you cant represent everyone. Many people want to sincerely buy it, and I cant punish them all just because of you alone. I cant waste their time for nothing. This bronze cauldrons origins are unclear, and the crafty fellows from the Soaring Dragon Company never tell the truth. Who knows whether they are secretly planning on buying it for themselves?
Long Chen, dont slander others! shouted the innate Heaven Venerate who had been Long Chens liaison.
Alright, well, I wont bother arguing with you. Lets put it this way: I cannot say whether or not this is the true Heaven Earth Cauldron. However, it has once struck an Eternal divine weapon, and Im sure most people have heard of it. Thus, it is at least a top grade Eternal divine weapon. I wont be greedy. You can trade for it with either Eternal divine weapons or corpses of Eternal experts. However, the corpses cant belong to the human race, Spirit race, or other kind races, said Long Chen.
Corpses?!
An uproar exploded. What did Long Chen want Eternal corpses for?
One for one? asked someone.
Can you use your brain? At least one for three. If you dont even have three, dont even offer, sneered Long Chen.
One for three? Are you joking? Inheritances with tens of millions of years of history dont even have a single Eternal divine weapon! But you dare ask for three?!
If you want to trade, then trade. If you dont, then scram. This is an auction, not a charity. If you dont have the money, then dont speak. Did you spend everything on this room? retorted Long Chen.
That person didnt reveal himself. He was in a private room and was also an innate Heaven Venerate.
You...! Long Chen was clearly not placing him in his eyes.
Silence. This is my treasure, and what I say counts. Im rather direct, so dont waste your time. Ill only give you one chance to buy it. I want either three Eternal divine weapons or three perfectly intact Eternal corpses. In my opinion, Eternal corpses and Eternal divine weapons are of equal value. This bronze cauldron suspected to be the Heaven Earth Cauldron is now on auction! Dont miss this chance, because once you miss it, you wont get another! The auction starts now! shouted Long Chen.
However, everyone was deathly silent, and no one declared a bid. The Soaring Dragon Companys people sneered inside. Without proper preparation, starting off with such a high bid would naturally chill the enthusiasm of the crowd.
They were actually hoping for Long Chen to be unable to sell the cauldron. That way, they wouldnt have to pay him his commission fee.
In truth, they werent really planning on paying that fee in the first place. Moreover, Long Chen had intentionally ruined their auction. According to the agreement, Long Chen actually owed them some compensation.
Seeing the cold crowd, Long Chen wasnt the slightest bit anxious. He directly said, Ill count to three. After that, Ill be taking the Heaven Earth Cauldron away. One...
Two...
Long Chen didnt give them any time to hesitate. He directly counted to two, so quickly like he didnt want anyone to bid.
As a result, quite a few people panicked. They seemed to realize something, and just as Long Chen was about to count to three, someone made a bid.
Three Eternal demonic beast corpses!
This shout came from a devil expert. So, upon hearing this, the expressions of quite a few demonic beast experts sank.
Eternal demonic beast corpses were absolute treasures, but that devil expert actually had three of their corpses? These demonic beast experts suddenly had an ugly thought.
The demonic beast race and the devil races relationship was never friendly. Thus, this bid instantly drew out their hatred.
Theres nothing to be surprised about. We gathered these corpses on immemorial battlefields. Its not like we killed them, sneered that devil expert in front of their furious gazes.
Despite his mocking tone, many could discern his underlying nervousness. His explanation revealed his desire to divert their attention from the matter.
He was in a private room and didnt expose his face, so no one would know who it was. But to make such an explanation, it seemed even he was extremely cautious about such a matter.
Long Chen simply ignored it. It didnt matter where the corpses came from. He would accept them all.
Excellent. Room seven has bid! Three Eternal demonic corpses going once!
Long Chens gaze swept over the crowd, and he quickly shouted, Three Eternal demonic corpses going twice!
Three Eternal demonic corpses going-!
Long Chen was about to smash his hammer down when someone coldly said, Four Eternal devil corpses.
