C136 A Dangerous Place
The auction items were also very diverse, from expensive herbs to precious herbs. From antique calligraphy and paintings to jewelry and jewelry, Qin Yuan was not interested in any of these. Today, he came for the thousand-year-old ginseng, because he had the thousand-year-old ginseng as the catalyst. Only with the Demonic Pill that he obtained could he refine out the true Demon Spirit Pill.
Unfortunately, when the so-called thousand-year-old ginseng began to be auctioned, Qin Yuan opened his own spiritual eye and took a closer look. What kind of thousand-year-old ginseng was this? It was at most a few hundred years old.
Qin Yuan was a bit disappointed. People nowadays liked to exaggerate things. When the auctioneer introduced the thousand-year-old ginseng, he said it was a thousand-year-old ginseng, and it was even exaggerated to the point that it was like a flower falling from the sky. The other people also treated the ginseng as a thousand-year-old ginseng, but this could not be hidden from Qin Yuan.
However, although it did not have a thousand years of age, a hundred-year-old ginseng was still very rare. Therefore, even though Qin Yuan was a little disappointed, he still decisively won this ginseng.
Originally, there were many competitors. After all, they all thought that this was really a thousand-year-old ginseng. After eating it, one could prolong one's life, so they didn't care how much money it cost. However, when Qin Yuan joined the bidding, the others all stopped.
They didn't dare to compete with Qin Yuan because the reason was very simple. Wei Ziqing of Wei Family was sitting next to Qin Yuan, the princess of Wei Family, the biggest family in Jiangbei. Furthermore, they had witnessed Qin Yuan's strength with their own eyes. He was able to kill the number one expert of Jiangbei with a single palm strike. How strong was such a person?
What was even more terrifying was that the patriarch of Lau Family, the owner of the National Tai Hotel, and the organizer of this auction, Lau Changfeng, was extremely respectful to this young man with the surname Qin. He didn't dare to offend him.
Therefore, they were all guessing Qin Yuan's true identity in their hearts. They couldn't afford to offend him. Therefore, Qin Yuan successfully won the hundred-year-old ginseng.
The following items basically didn't enter Qin Yuan's eyes. Instead, there was an authentic copy of Tang Bohu, the Picture of the Apricot Grass Hut. It reminded Qin Yuan of the time when Du Fei used a fake Apricot Grass Hut Picture to fool his father-in-law in order to show off.
Qin Yuan knew that his father-in-law, Chu Gengnian, really liked Tang Bohu's calligraphy and paintings. It was rare to see Tang Bohu's real work today, so he took the picture of the apricot cottage without hesitation. He was going to give it back to his father-in-law.
The following process was a little boring, because the items that were being auctioned were useless to Qin Yuan. Qin Yuan wanted to leave, but Wei Ziqing told him. When it came to the last item being auctioned, the items at the end of the auction were usually good items. She told him to wait a little longer.
Finally, when the auction was about to end, the final item would be auctioned. Everyone was looking forward to it, hoping that the final item would be good stuff.
Unexpectedly, the host of the auction held a microphone and told everyone that the final item of the auction was a piece of land, the land of Dragon Bay.
When they heard the name of Dragon Bay, everyone was dumbfounded. For a moment, there was complete silence, and no one said anything.
However, after a dozen or so seconds, the people on the scene started discussing it again.
"The last item of the finale is actually the land of Dragon Bay? Is there a mistake? That place is haunted. It's very scary."
"That's right, there was a large graveyard in that piece of land back then. The developer also spent a large sum of money and spent a lot of effort. Then they moved all the graves away. It was the last unclaimed grave. That tomb was not simple, and no one knew who was buried inside. The developer wanted to forcefully dig up that lonely grave and move it away, but in the end, something happened again and again."
"By now, there were already three or four developers who took over that piece of land. In the end, these developers either got a strange illness or went crazy and died. Until now, no one dares to touch that piece of land anymore."
"That piece of land in Dragon Bay has already become a forbidden area. I didn't expect that it would be auctioned off at an auction. What's going on?"
Hearing the discussions below, the host felt very awkward, but he still knocked his hammer. He calmed the audience down and continued, "Next, let's auction off the last item, the land of Dragon Bay. The starting price. One million."
Hearing these words, the crowd started discussing again.
One million?
For a piece of land, it was not only worth one million. Even if it was a small piece of land with a bad location, it would be worth millions or even tens of millions.
Furthermore, the location of the Dragon Bay was excellent, and the Feng Shui there was extremely good. It could be said to be a golden land. Such a piece of land was worth tens of millions or even hundreds of millions. But now, the starting price was only one million. It was no different than giving it away for free.
However, since there was a haunted grave in Dragon Bay, it had become a terrifying forbidden area. Not to mention one million, even one hundred thousand was not worth it.
Someone shouted from below, "What are you doing?! The people in Dragon Bay had already died and were looking for a few people. Whoever took over that piece of land would have to die. Not to mention a million, even if you give it to me for free, I don't want it. "
"That's right. Such a vicious land that no one cares about is being auctioned here. What do you think we are? Who has nothing better to do than spend one million to buy that vicious land, and then throw their lives away? "
Seeing that the atmosphere at the scene was a little out of control, Qin Yuan frowned and then softly asked Wei Ziqing what was going on.
Wei Ziqing explained, "The Dragon Bay is very fast and has excellent Feng Shui. How else can it be called Dragon Bay? It was just that there was a large graveyard in the middle and there was a developer who offered a high price. All the graves were moved away, leaving only a lone grave that no one cared about. Forcibly digging it up, yet there were accidents again and again. It's very strange. "
"It was said that the last developer found Master Zhang in Jiangbei. He forcefully dug up the lone grave, but in the end, what do you think? It was said that the previous developer had found ___, who was in Jiangbei. There was a transparent coffin inside, and there was a corpse lying inside. But no matter how hard he tried, he could not see the face of the corpse clearly. The lid of the coffin was connected to the coffin. No matter how hard he tried, he could not open it. He could vaguely see the water inside. There was also a small fish swimming around. Anyway, it was very strange. When Master Zhang saw this scene, he was so scared that he went berserk. No matter how much money was given to him, he wouldn't care about this anymore."
"I think this unlucky developer is afraid of losing his life. That's why he tried to auction it at this auction. One million is equivalent to giving it away for free. As long as we can throw this hot potato out, even if it's for free, that developer will be willing. It's a pity that even if it's for free, no one would dare to take it. "
After listening to Wei Ziqing's explanation, Qin Yuan patted his head and said, "I was wondering why the name Dragon Bay sounded so familiar. I remember now. Last time, there was a patrolling officer called Xue Lingzhi who came to find me and asked me to go with her to deal with the ghosts in Dragon Bay. I refused at that time. "
