C61 Os Brachii
C61 Os Brachii
Imperceptibly, an ancient aura began to emanate from the red satin. It caused people to feel at peace, and even the bustling meeting room quieted down.
Everyone stared at the withered yellow item that Chen placed on the stage. Ding Yi, who originally wasn't interested in the auction, couldn't help but narrow his eyes.
This item was about an inch or so like dried up wood. It emitted a faint and strange fragrance. It was hard to say what it smelled like, but it caused everyone who smelled it to calm down.
"What is this thing? It has such a miraculous effect!" Jin Siqi muttered as she stared at the dried up piece of wood.
Tieh Wuji took a deep breath with his eyes closed, intoxicated. After a while, he opened his eyes and said faintly, "I believe you all have also noticed that this strange wood has a remarkable calming effect. It is definitely a rare treasure!
"This strange piece of wood was fished out of the ocean, and even after being verified by several experts, we are still unable to determine what kind of wood it is. However, its effects are extraordinary, so as it is the first item to be auctioned, the starting price … Ten million! " Seeing that the atmosphere was getting better, Tieh Wuji said with a smile.
"11 million!" Before Tieh Wuji finished his words, someone raised their sign and shouted a price.
Hearing someone call out a price, everyone couldn't sit still anymore. It was really that this thing had extraordinary effects. Jin Siqi was about to raise her hand but was stopped by Ding Yi.
"Wait a minute, the price won't reach the top in a short while." Ding Yi shook his head. This item was pretty good. There would definitely be a lot of bidders, so bidding right now was just a waste of effort.
Jin Siqi was stunned for a moment. She looked at Ding Yi in surprise and said, "Mr. Ding, you like this thing too?"
"If you like it, I can take it for you." Jin Siqi looked at Ding Yi and said with a smile.
Ding Yi looked thoughtfully at the dead tree on the booth. He felt a sense of familiarity from the dead tree, as if... It was familiar.
"Could it really be him?" Looking at the dried up bone, Ding Yi closed his eyes and felt the familiar yet unfamiliar aura.
After a long while, he opened his eyes and sighed. He had already determined that this was not some dead tree, but rather an old friend's arm. For some reason, it had become like this.
"What's the price now?" Ding Yi turned around and looked at Jin Siqi.
Hearing Ding Yi's words, Jin Siqi's body trembled as she hurriedly said, "It's already 23 million, are we going to bid?"
"Help me get it." Ding Yi nodded.
Since it was something that belonged to an old friend, it was better not to fall into the hands of an outsider. For some reason, this arm bone had become something else. Ding Yi also had other uses for it.
"Alright." Jin Siqi nodded and raised the sign in her hand, shouting loudly, "30 million!"
"Cough cough …" Are all your Jin Family so rich and overbearing? " Ding Yi rubbed his nose. He didn't expect Jin Siqi to call out a price of 30 million.
30 million might not be a big deal for Ding Yi, but everyone else only raised the bid by 1 to 2 million. If Jin Siqi raised the bid to 30 million, it would definitely be eye-catching.
Jin Siqi had just been assassinated recently, and now that she was in the spotlight, it was definitely not a good choice. It was very likely that she would cause unnecessary trouble.
"So it's the young miss of the Jiangnan Jin Family. No wonder she acted so boldly. If that's the case, then I'll have to trouble Miss Jin." When someone saw that it was Jin Siqi, they lost their motivation to bid.
Who didn't know that Jiangnan's Jin Family was so rich that if he were to compete with Jin Siqi's wealth, it would simply be asking for trouble?
"Sigh, it seems like there's no hope for us." A few people in the distance also shook their heads, no longer bidding.
Sensing the gazes coming from all directions, Ding Yi couldn't help but frown. Now, the two of them were completely exposed under the eyes of these people. Helpless, Ding Yi could only secretly be on guard.
"Miss Jin bid 30 million, is there anyone else willing to bid?" Tieh Wuji smiled and nodded to Jin Siqi. Then, he looked around and said, "Thirty million going once, 30 million going twice …"
"40 million." At this moment, a man stood up and stared at the arm bones on the stage.
Although his voice wasn't loud, it clearly reached everyone's ears. This person was very average looking and was a middle-aged man. There was a scar on his face that made him look very fierce.
"Who is this guy? How dare he compete with Miss Jin!" When someone saw this, they couldn't help but shake their head.
When competing with Jin Family for wealth, probably no one in the entire Jinzhou City would dare do such a thing. Who knows where this guy came from, to actually dare compete with Jin Siqi.
Hearing that person's bid, Jin Siqi couldn't help but frown. She looked in that direction, and coincidentally, that person also turned to look at her.
Their gazes met in the air, and Jin Siqi's eyes slowly became empty. She sat there in a daze. If her eyes weren't still open, Ding Yi would have thought that she had fallen asleep.
"Eye of Darkness?" Ding Yi squinted and put his left hand on Jin Siqi's shoulder.
The Power of the Soul surged out and turned into a torrential flood, directly cutting off the connection between Jin Siqi and his opponent in the crudest way!
Whoosh …
Jin Siqi's body shuddered before her eyes regained their clarity. She panted heavily, a layer of cold sweat appearing on her forehead. It was as if she had fallen asleep. She felt as if her surroundings were pitch-black, as if she had lost all her strength.
"Mr. Ding, I …" Jin Siqi's face was slightly pale. She clenched her fists tightly as she looked at Ding Yi. Her chest heaved up and down as she asked, "What happened to me just now?"
"There's something wrong with that person's eyes. Don't look at him directly." Ding Yi shook his head and didn't elaborate.
There was indeed something wrong with that person's eyes. Just now, that person used an eye technique, a very strange magic technique. Ding Yi hadn't seen anyone use eye techniques in hundreds of years.
"Looks like all sorts of supernatural beings have appeared." Ding Yi thought to himself, looks like I have to increase my strength.
"Then are we still bidding?" Jin Siqi bit her lower lip. After what had just happened, she couldn't make up her mind whether to continue bidding or not.
If they continued to bid, it was very likely that they would provoke that mysterious person.
"Don't be afraid, continue." Ding Yi nodded with an indifferent expression.
"Alright!" Jin Siqi took a deep breath, suppressing her previous worry. She raised her hand again, "I bid, 40 million!"
