Chapter 406 (1/2)
Kong Lao still had a lot of face. Those who had received his favor raised their cards one after another. The price was soon called 600000, and the speed of bidding began to slow down obviously.
After all, it is worthwhile for them to spend $1.8 million to take care of Kong Lao's face and win Kong Lao's favor, but more is really unnecessary.
”A million!”
A middle-aged man with a general belly stood up, directly added one million, and bowed slightly to Kong Lao sitting in the VIP seat to show his respect.
Kong nodded slightly in return, but his disappointment flashed away. He bought the bronze tripod from an auction at a cost of 5 million meters of gold.
As a senior collector, if he can't find out the origin and value of the auction items, he will have trouble sleeping and eating. He deliberately set the reserve price of one yuan this time, hoping to meet someone who knows the origin of the bronze tripod to solve his doubts.
Ding Ning Huoran sat up straight and stared at the pocket tripod that was only a foot high. There was a storm and inexplicable ecstasy in his heart. The alchemy furnace was actually the Yanlong alchemy furnace of Emperor Yan.
It is recorded in the compendium of plants and trees that in order to compete with Chiyou in medicine, Emperor Yan, who was born with the talent of controlling fire, took the essence of bronze to make a furnace embryo, took the stone of Buzhou mountain as the furnace liner, extracted his own blood and turned it into Yanlong pill fire, and cast the Yanlong pill smelting furnace after 99.81 days of thunder quenching at the top of Thunder Mountain, It is the best alchemy furnace of Shennong tribe except the Jiulong Shennong tripod. Although it has not reached the level of artifact, it is also the level of top-grade artifact.
Unexpectedly, the Yanlong alchemy furnace, which has long disappeared in the long river of history, will appear in such a large-scale charity auction.
It's no wonder so many treasure experts can't recognize the origin of the alchemy furnace. After all, the alchemy furnace can only be driven by spiritual power.
The spiritual power can only be possessed after continuously purifying and transforming the real Qi in the body after entering the tianwu realm, so it's not surprising that those treasure forensics experts can't recognize the origin of the alchemy furnace.
It's a dream that only a million people want to get this alchemy furnace tripod. Even if they lose their money, he must get this alchemy furnace. With this alchemy furnace, he can start to try to refine pills.
Ding Ning sneered at himself. This is the Yanlong alchemy furnace
”One hundred thousand times, one million twice, if there is no further price increase, this bronze tripod belongs to this gentleman, the third one million...”
”Ten million!”
Just as Jiang Yimeng was about to drop the hammer, a cold voice suddenly sounded and quoted a high price of $10 million, which made everyone in an uproar and whispered one after another to find the trace of the bidder.
Ding Ning followed his reputation. This is a man sitting in an inconspicuous position in the middle, wearing a cap, a mask and sunglasses. He can't see his appearance clearly. He can't help narrowing his eyes. It seems that he has met someone who knows the goods.
Old Kong looked happy. The man was willing to bid such a price. Although it was far from the price he auctioned, the man was likely to know the origin of the bronze tripod.
”Ten million once, this gentleman bid ten million. Is there anyone else? Ten million twice, ten million three...”
Jiang Yimeng was excited. She didn't expect that such an insignificant bronze tripod could bid a high price of 10 million. Although she continued to tempt people to increase the price with a bewitching voice according to the Convention, she didn't think that anyone would pay a higher price, and even shouted faster.
”100 million!”
Ding Ning was startled. Is there a woman who makes such a price? I wanted to wait and see again, but I didn't dare to hesitate any more. I opened my mouth and shouted out a price of 100 million.
”What? Are you crazy?”
Ding Qianlie was startled and hurriedly pulled his sleeve. ”Why do you pay such a high price for a broken tripod?”
”Don't worry, sister. This tripod is very important to me. I have to get it.”
Ding Ning didn't have time to explain. After saying it without doubt, he stared at the alchemy furnace with his eyes full of perseverance.
He expected that the Yanlong alchemy furnace might not be so easy to get. The man who had been bidding for 10 million was staring at him like a knife, which brought him great pressure.
He is an expert, a very powerful expert, at least a strong one in tianwu realm or at the patriarchal level. No wonder he can recognize the value of this Dan stove.
”100 million?”
Jiang Yimeng was so scared that he almost threw away the auction hammer. A rusty broken Ding Ning even shouted out a price of 100 million, which was too bad for his family.
On the contrary, Bai Qing showed a thoughtful look. Ding Ning's identity seemed to be no problem, but the mystery he showed during this period proved that he was never as simple as the data on the surface.
He was able to bid a high price of 100 million, which proved that he was bound to win the bronze tripod. He must have recognized its origin and knew its value.
Looking at Kong, he was the only one who knew that, in addition to his well-known identity as an overseas Chinese, philanthropist and collector, Kong was also a member of the China Chamber of Commerce. His task was to collect the national treasures lost during the war for the country overseas.
Old Kong looked at him for a moment. The meaning was complex and difficult to understand. Ding Ning must know the origin of the bronze tripod, which made them hesitate. If the bronze tripod was really a national treasure, the country must take it back and never allow it to wander away, which would conflict with Ding Ning. Instead, they wanted the bronze tripod to be photographed by the man in tuxedo, In this way, they won't have any psychological burden.
