Chapter 318: Auctioning the Sea God Sculpture

The Xiao family wasn’t the only one who thought so. The other families also thought so. After all, no one knew the value of the Sea God Sculpture.

Of course, the more the better.

Looking at the three people inside, they didn’t seem to be locals.

It seemed that they still had some tricks up their sleeves.

When all the people from the four big families arrived, they all looked there as they spoke.

“Who do you think will be there?”

Only the Xiao family was the first to arrive, but Xiao Fei was right.

“I don’t know either. When I arrived, they had already arrived.”

Since no one else had come, they naturally didn’t know the truth.

“I guess it’s someone related to the auction house.”

“No, no, it must be a big shot from somewhere. It has nothing to do with the auction house.”

“How about this? Let’s make a bet. If someone loses, they are not allowed to participate in the bidding for the Sea God Sculpture.”

Xiao Fei looked at the others with a smile.

Liu Ruoqing was silent.

Gu Ban opened the folding fan in his hand and smiled without saying a word.

As for Yu Tian, his face was gloomy. No one knew what he was thinking.

“I think I’ll pass.”

“Then since Gu Ban has given up, let’s change to another bet?”

As soon as Gu Ban finished speaking, Xiao Fei immediately went up against him.

In between his words, one could see the competition between several families.

Gu Ban released his fingers, and the smile on his face seemed to become even wider.

“That’s great. What about you, Yu Tian?”

“I’ll come too!”

“Ruoqing has already joined in, what are you waiting for?”

Gu Ban looked at Liu Ruoqing, then at Yu Tian.

Yu Tian nodded. Now, everyone was participating.

“It’s a bet. Whoever wins, tell us what you know about the Sea God Sculpture.”

Hearing Xiao Fei’s words, everyone’s eyes became more serious.

This was related to the Sea God Sculpture, so it was naturally very important.

What they lacked now was related information. Otherwise, even if they bid it successfully, it would be difficult to deal with it.

It involved a very complicated process. It was said that the process had been lost even earlier than the Sea God Sculpture.

According to normal methods, there was no way to exert the ultimate power.

“Since you all didn’t refuse, I’ll go first. I guess it’s Xuan Yi.”

While everyone was hesitating, Xiao Fei directly made the decision for everyone.

Then, he said his guess.

It was indeed a guess. Xiao Fei didn’t see the other party’s face.

He just looked at the other party’s back, and for some reason, they looked alike.

After all, the name of Xuan Yi had already spread throughout the entire Southern continent.

“Did you just seen him with your own eyes and come to lie to us?”

“I swear on my family to the Heaven that I haven’t seen the appearance of the people inside. I’m just guessing.”

Since the other party said so, it was naturally believable.

Following that, the others also voiced out their own guesses one after another.

Next, they only needed to wait for the auction to begin.

As time passed, the venue was already full of people.

The capacity had already reached the upper limit.

Xuan Yi focused his attention and looked over. It was almost time. It was probably about to begin.

As expected, in less than 15 minutes, the Big Bell in the center rang.

Everyone’s attention was focused here.

“Welcome to our auction house. The old man here isn’t a beauty, so I won’t waste your time. I announce that the auction begins!”

Many steps were directly skipped, and it was very simple.

Very soon, the staff member pushed a small cart onto the auction stage.

The first item to be auctioned was a grade-five spiritual sword that Xuan Yi had given out.

However, unlike Xuan Yi, the auction house sold it separately.

But this spiritual sword was a complete set.

If it was sold separately, the person who wanted to buy it would need to spend far more than the value of one set.

It had to be said that this auction house really knew how to do business.

An entire day passed just like that, but there was still no trace of the Sea God Sculpture.

The sun was setting and it was already late. The old man on the auction stage was still in high spirits as he introduced to everyone.

Just as he was about to say something, a waiter went up from the backstage. The waiter leaned against his ear and said a few words.

After repeatedly confirming with the other party, the old man spoke again.

“Everyone, there’s been a sudden change in the plan. The Sea God Sculpture that was supposed to be auctioned tomorrow will be sold tonight.”

“Everyone, please make your preparations. We’ll be back in two hours.”

Upon hearing this, boos rang out. After all, the people at the bottom had already fought for a whole day.

It was crowded and tiring. Unlike the old man on the stage, they could only squeeze about.

But since he had already said it, it was not good for them to flare up.

Moreover, for most people, this was good news.

It appeared earlier than expected, and many people were pleasantly surprised.

Xuan Yi naturally did not have any problems. In any case, they had already waited for a whole day.

So what, if they waited for another two hours.

Time passed in the blink of an eye. The old man returned to the stage with a smile and looked at the crowd.

“Everyone, sorry for the wait. Please wait for a moment. Let’s invite our finale show to the stage.”

As he spoke, he snapped his fingers. This time, two muscular men with restrained auras escorted it up.

When it reached the auction stage, Xuan Yi focused his gaze.

There were many similarities between this piece of Sea God Sculpture and ordinary sea iron. The only difference was its size.

As well as the patterns on it, the entire body of this piece of sea god iron was covered with strange blue patterns.

From a distance, it looked like someone could carve on it.

Not only that, Xuan Yi also found that there were faint golden patterns.

However, it was surrounded by blue light patterns, so it was difficult to distinguish.

If one didn’t look carefully, one would definitely not be able to see.

“Is this the legendary Sea God Sculpture?”

“It should be? But it looks similar to ordinary sea iron.”

“It should be said that even refined sea iron looks better than this.”

Xuan Yi scoffed at this. He did not believe that it was fake.

Unless the auction house did not want to continue living here, they would not do such a thing.

Moreover, through his divine sense, Xuan Yi discovered the profoundness within.

This Sea God Sculpture could actually block his divine sense and could not probe its interior.

To be able to block a spiritual sense of Xuan Yi’s level, it was naturally not an ordinary object.

“Alright, everyone, you’ve seen enough, right? Then let’s begin. The starting price is five million supreme-grade spiritual stones, and each increment must not be less than two hundred thousand supreme-grade spiritual stones.”

Once this price was announced, the people below were in an uproar.

Five million supreme-grade spiritual stones, this price had already exceeded their imaginations.

A piece of broken stone that was as big as a fist, and it was worth this much?

No matter how many people went bankrupt, they wouldn’t be able to afford it.

With this, the people at the bottom were almost all wiped out. Not many could afford it.

In their eyes, this price was already beyond their expectations.

But in the eyes of the people on the second floor, this was only normal.

Such an item with a price was already not bad.

“I offer 5.2 million!”
