Apothecaries had their own unique auras just like warriors. Although they weren't as domineering as warriors, they were extremely exquisite and had a gentle control over their aura.
Of course, if one did not have super strong senses, it would be very difficult to detect this invisible aura.
Lin Zi Chen stared at the alchemist for a while before slowly nodding his head to confirm his thoughts.
Almost everyone who came here was a collector. Even the company's boss had a long history of collecting. He had long since become a collector, and the sudden appearance of an apothecary caught Lin Zichen's attention.
"Zi Chen, what are you looking at?" Fang Ning asked.
Lan Luoshi followed Lin Zichen's gaze and said, "That person …. "It's so strange, they all wear suits, but he dresses like an uncle who went out to practice in the morning."
Lin Zi Chen said softly: "Shh …" Fang Ning, Luo Shi, lower your voice, that person … "It's not simple."
"Is that so? "Why is it not simple?" Lan Luoshi immediately became vigilant as she spoke in a low voice.
Seeing her expression, Lin Zi Chen couldn't help but laugh: "Hur hur, aren't you angry anymore?"
Hearing this, Lan Luoshi immediately pouted. "I'm still alive! Lin Zichen, let me tell you, I'm really angry this time. It's not going to be that easy to coax you, hmph!"
Of course, Lin Zi Chen knew that Lan Luoshi acted like a spoiled child when she was angry. He smiled, grabbed Lan Luoshi's hand, and whispered into her ear.
"It doesn't matter if it's hard to coax, I'll coax slowly."
Hearing her gentle tone, Lan Luoshi blushed. She lowered her head bashfully and said, "Fuck you, who wants you to coax me?"
As the two of them were talking, the first item that appeared on the auction stage was a bronze ruyi.
The auctioneer patiently explained the origins, age, and uses of the bronze ruyi. However, to Fang Ning and Lan Luoshi, it could be said that they did not know anything about it, so they did not listen.
Lin Zi Chen was also not interested in the ruyi scepter, so he decided to just continue chatting with the two girls. Of course, he would look at the alchemist from time to time, but he did not pay any attention to the auctioneer's explanation.
Hehe, it is obvious that he is not interested in these things either. In that case, his purpose of coming might be the same as mine, or it might be for some alchemy related products, or... They had come for the Coldsteel Cauldron!
Thinking of this, Lin Zi Chen's heart skipped a beat. If this was really for the Coldsteel Cauldron, then … Could he be the one who spent sixty million to buy the Frost Iron Cauldron from Elder Gu?
Soon, the first item was bought by a boss for 200,000 yuan. When the auctioneer announced that the bronze scepter had been sold for by him, the boss smiled proudly, hugged Little Mi and kissed her a few times.
Fang Ning glanced at that person, "Even if he's rich, he's still a bumpkin. I'm sure that person isn't his wife."
Hearing this, Lin Zi Chen smiled but didn't say anything. However, Lan Luoshi scolded him, "Big sister Ning, do you think that the person beside Lin Zi Chen is his wife?"
Lin Zi Chen was stunned, he was really lying to himself. He thought to himself, "That bumpkin, he can't bear to be in the auction … …"
Fang Ning could not help but snicker inwardly. Luo Shi could be considered to be very natural and graceful, but this time she was truly angry. Every word she said was full of thorns.
Still, she hurriedly helped him out, "Of course it will be. If Lin Zichen dares to not marry you as his wife, I'll be the first one to refuse."
Lan Luo Shi then looked at Lin Zi Chen, as if she wanted an answer. Lin Zi Chen couldn't help but smile. "Definitely."
Hearing this, Lan Luoshi forced out a laugh. She snorted. "At least you know how to talk."
Fang Ning moved closer to Lan Luo Shi and whispered in her ear, "You must be overjoyed at the turn of events, right?"
Immediately, the two sisters laughed together.
The second and third item were a blue and white porcelain vase from the official kiln of Qing Dynasty and a set of enameled tea set. Since the former came from the palace, the latter was a solitary item and the price was higher.
However, Lin Zichen was too lazy to take a look at these things. When the item was brought up on stage, he had already confirmed that it was the real item. Moreover, he could tell the exact age and origin of the item, including the auctioneer's description.
Even so, Lin Zichen did not come here for the antiques. If he wanted it, how hard would it be to build a museum?
However, the following auction item caused Lin Zi Chen to be stunned. His eyes stared at a fist-sized red crystal in front of the auctioneer. That was … Molten fire crystals?
With the fire crystal, the refiner would basically not need to control it, allowing the fire crystal to concoct pills on its own. Although it wouldn't enhance the quality of the medicinal pills, it still saved the refiner a lot of time and energy.
But since it was a consumable, then of course, once it was used up, a single fire crystal could at most satisfy one round of refinement. If the fire crystal was of high quality and its appearance was pure, it could at most be melted into the fire three or four times.
Lin Zichen couldn't help but be secretly happy. His own fire crystal had already begun to be refined, and would probably disappear in three or four times. At this time, discovering another one was undoubtedly a happy occasion.
However, not many people knew about the value of fire crystals, so Lin Zi Chen was looking forward to what the auction house would offer as the starting price.
As he was thinking, Lin Zichen noticed that the white-clothed alchemist had also changed. He no longer looked at the phone in his hand, but concentrated on the fire crystal. It was obvious that he had noticed something.
It seemed like he had also discovered it. Haha, there's going to be another competitor today.
Everyone, this is a rare blood crystal, very rare. When our auction house received this blood crystal, we thought it was a ruby, but after the verification by the experts, this is a natural blood crystal that only appears once in a hundred years.
Listening to the auctioneer's nonsense, Lin Zichen could not help but laugh to himself. Blood crystal? This name is very unique, but it doesn't matter. As long as the auction starts, I will take it! After that, when the auctioneer introduced the blood crystal's origin and history, Lin Zi Chen was too lazy to listen to him. After that, when the auctioneer introduced the blood crystal's origin and history, Lin Zi Chen was too lazy to listen to him.
Yes.
"Alright, the starting price for this blood crystal is 500,000 Chinese dollars, and each offer is 50,000 Chinese dollars. Everyone can start bidding now."
After all, to these collectors, the blood crystal was very unfamiliar. It was not a blood jade, blood pole, or a blood crystal, but a separate type. Therefore, no one would dare to use five hundred thousand to play with an object they had never heard of before.
Lin Zi Chen was not in a hurry to bid, so he waited patiently. After all, no one would play around with money, and he hoped that no one would bid when the auction was about to start.
But soon, the alchemist also turned his head to look at Lin Zichen. Their gazes met, and the man smiled and turned his head back.
Lin Zichen couldn't help but furrow his brows, it seems like … The other party had already figured out his identity. It was just that he had not revealed it.
Expert, this was Lin Zichen's evaluation of the alchemist.
"If no one wants to go out, then this item will be sold. I hope everyone will consider it." As he spoke, the auctioneer turned to look at the white-robed apothecary.
Lin Zi Chen immediately understood that there must be some sort of tacit understanding between them. If that was the case, then the Frost Iron Cauldron must have been bought by him for sixty million yuan.
"Hehe, I think the auction will start soon. I've been playing antiques for so many years, but I've never heard of such a thing as a blood crystal." A fat man in his fifties laughed.
"That's right, blood crystals … It might exist, but it would at least need to be publicized. Just as the auction started, it was already planning to be sold for 500,000 yuan …. "Hur hur, you're quite vicious." Another said.
The bumpkin who had just bought the bronze ruyi laughed: "Hehe, don't talk about it if you can't afford it."
"Tsk, you can afford it? If you can afford it, why don't you shout? "
The country bumpkin hugged Little Mi in his embrace and didn't forget to rub her arm a few times. "Hehe, I just came for Ru Yi. It's enough to get my hands on it."
"Hehe, in my opinion, this blood crystal is indeed a treasure. However, you still need to be familiar with the treasure. Otherwise, no matter how rare it is, it's useless. After all, every stone is a lone weapon and it's not necessarily worth a thousand gold coins."
"Yes, that's right. It seems like the blood crystal is going to be sold."
Clearly, no one planned to ask for the price, which caused the auctioneer to feel somewhat awkward.
He turned to the white-robed apothecary and said, "If no one bids anymore, we're prepared to auction off the next item."
As he spoke, the auctioneer was so anxious that he started sweating. It was obvious that they had made some sort of agreement beforehand.
Hearing the auctioneer's words, the white-clothed apothecary turned his head to look at Lin Zichen. However, Lin Zichen was pretending to chat with Lan Luoshi, neither looking at him nor looking at the fire crystals.
Seeing this, the white-robed apothecary revealed a look of relief on his face. He raised his right hand and said, "Five hundred thousand."
"Five hundred and fifty thousand!"
Everyone's gaze turned towards Lin Zichen, and the reason was simple. The white clothed apothecary had called out a bid of less than a second, and Lin Zichen had already raised the bid. This was clearly because he had prepared it beforehand.
Even more exaggerated was that after the bid was called out, Lin Zi Chen didn't even look at the auction platform and continued to chat with Lan Luoshen and Fang Ning.
Seeing Lin Zichen calling out a price, Chen Feng could not help but be stunned. He … Bidding? Can he afford five hundred and fifty thousand?
It looked like Miss Fang wanted it, but... This blood crystal had already been privately given to Mr Tong.
He didn't know what to do, so he got up and walked towards Guo Zhigang's position.
As for the alchemist Mister Tong, he furrowed his brows. He knew that this was definitely not a problem with the auction house, but rather, he had killed his way out of the auction house.
Hmph, all that absent-mindedness was just an act. This little guy isn't simple.
However, since you want to compete, then let's compete. I want to see who has the ability to compete with me!
"Six hundred thousand!" Mr. Tong raised the bid again.
He had originally planned to give Lin Zi Chen a smile after raising the price, but Lin Zi Chen didn't even give him the chance. With the same tempo as before, he immediately made a bid. Six hundred and fifty thousand! " With that, Lin Zichen looked at Mr Tong and gave him a look that said he was determined to win!
