Chapter 505 The Priceless Sheepskin Scroll
Chapter 505 The Priceless Sheepskin Scroll
None of those present knew the value of this parchment scroll.
The man in gray in the back row secretly rejoiced.
After looking around, raise your hand.
"Alright, Mr. Yin has offered 500 million. Is there anyone who can offer a higher price?"
Cao Erdan nodded as he looked at the man's delighted expression.
It seems he can also see the secret behind it.
He focused his divine eye once more on the parchment scroll.
Looking inside, it appears to be a landscape painting.
However, those wormholes are not real wormholes, but rather holes created by humans.
If you connect the pieces of the same size, they look a lot like a map.
The scroll appears solid, but it is actually hollow, and there are hidden secrets inside.
The discovery of cultural relics near Juxian Mountain has become a legend. According to the legend, there is a serene cave on that mountain, which is a great grotto where immortals used to live.
At this moment, Cao Erdan had an idea in his mind.
He had already reached the fifth level of the Dragon Realm, was able to create clones, and possessed martial prowess that surpassed that of ordinary people.
However, my progress in cultivating dragon energy has been slowing down lately.
It seems that taking it a step further is very difficult.
To regain speed, external force is needed.
So, refining elixirs with rare and precious materials, and cultivating using the natural environments of the large and small grotto-heavens, were what he longed for.
In this parchment scroll, he seemed to see the ancient celestial energy.
So, without thinking, I raised my hand:
"Six hundred million!"
"Wow?"
Everyone was shocked.
The original asking price of 500 million was already hard for many people to imagine.
Then Mr. Yin in the gray shirt offered a price and bought it, which they found even more unbelievable.
I have no idea what's so valuable about this tattered painting.
If not stored properly, they can all rot.
Cao Erdan, however, did not hesitate to add another 100 million.
Everyone was even more astonished.
You should know that anyone who can afford this price must be someone with real ability.
I would never throw money away in a moment of impulse.
But there were two people who completely overturned their understanding.
The two bid against each other, and after several rounds, the price of the parchment scroll had reached 2.6 billion!
No one said a word, watching the two compete.
Mr. Yin in gray, who had been calm and composed, had now stood up.
He frowned and looked at Cao Erdan.
He looked to be around twenty years old, yet he was sitting in a group of big shots.
They assumed he was some rich young master.
They certainly won't see through the secret of the parchment scroll.
If this secret is unknown, then who would pay such a high price to fight against me?
So why is he arguing with me? It must be because I just argued with him over the red coral!
These rich kids are all fools with money to burn; they're trying to outdo me!
So, Mr. Yin walked straight to Cao Erdan's side and clasped his hands in a fist salute to Cao Erdan:
“Young man, I am Yin Daozhong, Elder of the Liaobei Star Gate! If I offended you earlier, please forgive me. If you don’t have much use for this parchment scroll, don’t raise the price and make the seller rich!”
Cao Erdan laughed and said, "That's a strange thing to say. You're the one who's trying to outbid me, and you're blaming me? I'm going to take this. It doesn't matter if you're from the Star Gate or the Moon Gate, whether you're from the Yin Dao or outside of the Yin Dao, what does it have to do with me!"
Yin Daozhong immediately blushed with embarrassment.
He took a few steps back, looking at Cao Erdan with resentment:
"Kid, don't underestimate the strength of our Star Gate!"
Cao Erdan smiled slightly: "I don't look down on anyone, but I'm not afraid of anyone's threats either!"
Actually, if he hadn't mentioned that he was from the Star Gate, Cao Erdan might not have been hostile.
After all, in an auction, whoever bids the highest wins.
You can't prevent others from making bids.
But Cao Erdan felt disgusted as soon as the kid introduced himself.
The Star Gate has always had a bad reputation and is known as an evil sect.
In the Dragon Kingdom, they are known as the Dragon Kingdom Black Wind Society.
They're all wicked and unorthodox people, comparable to the Black Wind Society of Japan.
Last time, Cao Erdan broke into the mountain castle at night and single-handedly defeated the Five Tigers of Xingmen.
The reason for the appearance of this person named Yin Daozhong is unknown.
Then I'm sorry, but I can't go along with his wishes.
He made a direct offer: "I'll offer three billion!"
Yin Daozhong's face was filled with resentment:
"Are you trying to burn money with me? Be careful you don't burn yourself to death!"
Cao Erdan smiled slightly: "No need to worry about me, just take care of yourself!"
Yin Daozhong raised his hand again: "Three billion...and ten million!"
Cao Erdan raised his hand: "Three billion five billion!"
"Three billion...and ten million!"
At this point, everyone was already sighing.
It was obvious that Cao Erdan was rich and powerful, while Yin Daozhong desperately wanted the sheepskin scroll but was short of money.
Cao Erdan raised his hand: "I'll offer 5 billion!"
Yin Daozhong's face turned deathly pale.
He glared angrily at Cao Erdan.
He didn't know if Cao Erdan would continue to drag things out.
They didn't want Cao Erdan to win, but they were also afraid that Cao Erdan would suddenly withdraw, which would mean paying a hefty price.
He was genuinely afraid that Cao Erdan was playing a trick on the seller.
So, gritting his teeth, he said, "You win, I don't want it anymore!"
"Whoa"
The crowd applauded and cheered, and the tense and exciting auction came to an end, with Cao Erdan emerging victorious.
Yin Daozhong had only his own plans, and then turned and left.
Chang Youchang cupped his hands in a fist salute and said, “Mr. Cao is truly a young talent. The younger generation surpasses the older generation. Your spirit is admirable!”
Cao Erdan was secretly relieved.
My bottom line is 5 billion. If the other party raises the price, I won't raise it any further.
Although it was Miss Ouyang Yuwei who paid for it, she shouldn't be so extravagant.
After all, it's still unknown whether this parchment scroll actually reached that value.
Amidst the congratulations of the crowd, Cao Erdan left his seat to go backstage to complete the formalities.
You need to transfer money to them before you can take the auctioned item.
Those wealthy people who felt Cao Erdan was talking nonsense earlier are now looking at him in a different light.
One of them leaned closer and whispered, "Mr. Cao, you said you have a protective barrier that you made yourself. Do you have any more? Can you sell them?"
Cao Erdan smiled calmly: "That's all!"
He couldn't be bothered to associate with these snobbish businessmen.
They are not short of money and have no need to refine barrier shields to sell for money.
After taking the coral and the parchment scroll and verifying their authenticity, he put them directly into his storage ring.
After leaving with Li Yuzi, they said goodbye to Catherine and Jin Meizhu again.
The two beauties had completely changed their opinion of Cao Erdan at this point.
They didn't see him as a handsome guy who depended on a female celebrity; on the contrary, they felt that Li Yuzi was very lucky to be friends with Cao Erdan.
As they drove out, Li Yuzi began to stare at Cao Erdan from the passenger seat.
He looks even more handsome than when he arrived.
"Brother Cao, you look so cool when you spend money like water!"
"I'm handsome my ass! All this money belongs to Ouyang Yuwei!"
"That's still cool! Yuwei said that all 10 billion is yours. You don't need to spend that much, the rest is yours, so this money is the same as your own!"
Li Yuzi felt that Cao Erdan's indifference to money showed that he was a man of great character.
He gets 10 billion in hand and casually takes out 6 billion, spending money without batting an eye.
Just as I was staring at Cao Erdan in a daze, Cao Erdan suddenly drifted onto a side road.
If it weren't for the seatbelt, Li Yuzi would have been thrown out.
He quickly reached out to grab something, trying to steady himself.
Cao Erdan shouted angrily, "Let go! Stop squeezing me!"
Li Yuzi then realized that she had grabbed the wrong place and had put her hand on Cao Erdan's thigh.
The car became more stable, but as the speed increased, the road surface became bumpy.
"Where are you going? This isn't the way we came!"
Looking out the window at the increasingly desolate landscape, Li Yuzi realized that Cao Erdan had headed towards the foot of the mountain.
