The whole empire is begging for my resurrection

His face was covered under a cat mask, except for a pair of eyes, others could no longer peek at him.

Shui Rui said, "4000 million Chinese coins once."

Everyone glanced back and forth between Tao Hong and Xi Qingyin, their faces full of curiosity.

The former has a very high status in the Tao family, almost on par with the old man of the Tao family.

The identity of the latter is still unknown, and the paintbrush badge all over his body is a little intimidating.

Looking at it this way, it seems that the former is slightly more likely to get the painting.

"4000 million Chinese dollars twice."

The housekeeper and Tao Xiaoxiao also looked in this direction with different expressions.

Just when everyone thought that Tao Hong would follow the price again, Tao Hong nodded his head in a friendly courteous tone, and finally retreated slowly into his seat.

"4000 million Chinese coins three times!"

Shui Rui no longer hesitated, and knocked down with a hammer.

This strange painting that can enhance spiritual power is owned by Xi Qingyin without any hindrance.

"……"what's going on?

Everyone was shocked and started whispering.

"Tao Hong didn't even follow the price this time, it seems that this lord is not simple!"

"Who could it be?"

The Civet Clan has amazing hearing and can hear conversations coming from all directions.

Xi Qingyin accepted everyone's attention without changing his face.

He had met Tao Hong in Tao Garden before, and he could probably see his temperament at that time.

This is an extremely tolerant person. Although I don't know why he is afraid of him, Xi Qingyin is still very happy to get the painting that the housekeeper uncle wanted.

If the estimate is correct, this painting should be the one that the medical uncle wants to redeem.This also happened to be in line with Tao Xiaoxiao's act of collecting paintings during this period. It is very likely that the person they are trying their best to save is the same person.

In other words, it was precisely because of the existence of this person that Uncle Butler and Tao Xiaoxiao got together.

This person... who the hell is he?

A lot of auction items came up later, some of which Xi Qingyin just glanced at and looked away in disinterest, while some he was a little interested in, but he was short of money, so he still held back and didn't raise his placard.

It is worth mentioning that many of them ended up in Rong Yunjing's hands.

Everyone was surprised.

In the past, His Highness the Crown Prince was rarely seen making a move in any black market auction. Why did His Highness become active this time?

Many people observed Rong Yunjing with this in mind, and it didn't matter if they didn't look at it, as they would find something amiss.

A certain time when a new product came on the market, Rong Yunjing immediately held up a sign and called for the seal price as if he had been beaten to death.

His eyes didn't even look at the items on the table, and he kept looking at a certain seat diagonally, intentionally or unintentionally.

After the final decision in the auction field, he reluctantly turned his gaze away.

There is also a kind of belated surprise in the eyes: ah, it turns out that I just spent a lot of money to buy such a thing.

The auction lasted until 11 o'clock in the evening, and it has come to an end.

The traditional Chinese painting "Duan" had also been launched a long time ago, and many people bid with all their might, until only Yu Mujin and Rong Tianhe were left.In the end, this painting entered Rong Tianhe's hands.

The farther you go to the back, the more precious the products appearing on the stage, and it has reached the point where ordinary people can only watch the excitement.

Xi Qingyin sat up straighter and straighter.

Knowing that now, the housekeeper and Tao Xiaoxiao still looked nervous, as if they were waiting for something.

"The next sale is the third to last item, and it has something special."

Shui Rui had a strange expression on her face, as if she didn't know how to describe this product, so she could only shake her head and say, "Why don't you take a look for yourself first."

As soon as they heard the word 'special', the butler and Tao Xiaoxiao looked at each other in the air, with a hint of excitement in their eyes.

Xi Qingyin also cheered up.

Soon the ground sank, and a small platform was revealed, and the black cloth was removed, and the entire Shell Hall was silent.

The butler lowered his head in lament, a little disappointed.

On the auction stage was not the 'person' he expected, but a small square ink stone.

About the size of an index finger, thin and long, without any traces of engraving and post-processing.

This is like an ordinary rough stone, the only thing that is special is that there may be a red line in the center of the inkstone, which runs from the top to the bottom, and the red line inside can be faintly seen through the black.

"What, isn't this just an ordinary Chinese painting ink stone? How could this be the third last auction?"

"All the traditional Chinese paintings have been auctioned, but the Chinese painting pigments are ranked behind. This order is really confusing."

There was a trace of cold sweat on Shui Rui's forehead, and with a smile on his face, he said in a remedial manner: "This ink stone is different from ordinary ink stones. Other ink stones have no spiritual power, but this one has a red line inside. People have studied it, and this red thread cannot be pulled out, as if it grew directly on the black stone, and it can even be said to be a part of it."

After a pause, she said, "The starting price is 3000 million Chinese dollars, and now you can start raising the price."

The voice fell for several seconds, and no one raised the sign for a long time.

This is completely different from the hot reaction of the previous sales, like going from a volcano star to an Antarctic star, and the attention has plummeted.

Many people curled their lips indifferently.

"I'm not an imperial painter, what do you sell an inkstone for? Besides, even an imperial painter can buy Chinese painting pigments in the four-handed waste painting shop. It's too unwise to spend 3000 million for a piece of inkstone with unknown effect. some."

"Are the black market auctions treating us like idiots? Selling such high prices for things that you haven't evaluated yourself."

"Yes, only a fool would buy this thing..."

Like the tide, amidst the slander, a pair of eyes hidden under the cat mask suddenly lit up.

Xi Qingyin clenched the handle of the shell cushion tightly, trying not to show her excitement.

Everyone present didn't know what the black stone was, but he did!

After completing the stage goals in the Land of Inheritance, the new goal is to draw oil paintings and sketches with a score of more than 50, and Chinese paintings with a score of 40.

The reward is a lost secret book "Chinese Painting Techniques".

That ink stone appeared on the cover of "Chinese Painting Techniques"!

Since it appeared on the cover of the secret book, it meant that this kind of inkstone must be rare and peculiar, and it was probably an important hurdle to break through the bottleneck of his Chinese painting.

To be precise, Xi Qingyin himself didn't know what the inkstone was used for, but he knew—he must get this inkstone no matter what!

Shui Rui glanced at a certain direction off the stage with tangled eyes, with a hint of complaint.

It has long been said that this thing should be in the front row, and everyone is not a fool.One reason is that the specialty is not right for you, and the other reason is that the things are not so good that everyone ignores the price.

If the third-to-last item fails to be auctioned, wouldn't the black market auction held by their water star be a big joke.

After waiting for a while, there was still no one holding up the sign, and some people had already begun to urge them impatiently.

Shui Rui could only bite the bullet and raised the small hammer, and finally asked unwillingly: "Is there anyone else who wants to ask for a price?"

There were laughter in the arena.

Shui Rui let out a long sigh in her heart, she had already expected the planet lord's scolding after the black market auction ended.

She raised her arms, and was about to accept this sad fact, but who knew that just one second before the hammer was about to fall, someone suddenly raised a sign in the arena.

"3001."

There are still people bidding? !

Shui Rui's eyes lit up, and she looked towards the direction of the voice almost as if looking at the savior.

Everyone's eyes shifted accordingly, and finally fixed on the black-robed man who was sitting quietly in his original position.

He seemed a little careless, with his index finger tapped on the handle of the shell, and he didn't continue to pay attention to the situation on the auction stage after raising the card, as if he just raised the card casually.

Even so, there were still many people present laughing.

"Fool, if you spend so much money on something with unknown effects, if you buy it back and it is no different from ordinary inkstone, you will lose your money. I don't understand the world of the boss."

Joy appeared in Shui Rui's eyes.

She doesn't care if the buyer is a fool or not, as long as this product doesn't fail the auction, it will be their lucky star.

As if afraid of Xi Qingyin's repentance, Shui Rui didn't even call out the number of times, and was about to smash the hammer.

Xi Qingyin lowered her eyes, and was about to breathe a sigh of relief, but who knew that another stumbling block appeared on the way.

"3002."

Everyone in the arena was taken aback, and followed the sound source to look over.

"It's Yu Tingyu, a branch of the Yu Family!"

The one holding the placard was a woman with exquisite makeup and curly hair. She looked about 40 to [-] years old and was well maintained. Only the fine lines at the corners of her eyes showed the passage of time.

Xi Qingyin raised his placard again without changing his face: "3003 million."

Yu Tingyu followed closely behind: "3004 million!"

Xi Qingyin frowned and looked over there.

He wanted to get this black stone no matter what.After a pause, he raised his sign again: "3005 million."

Yu Tingyu was whispering something to the black-robed man beside her, as if asking for advice, nodding from time to time.

After a while, she held up a placard: "3010 million!"

Sitting next to her was a familiar person, it was Yu Wan who had spoken rudely at the VIP passage, and was looking at this side provocatively, laughing wildly.

Everyone in the arena looked dull.

Originally thought that it was rare to have a fool, but why did another fool appear?

But judging from the identities of the two people, one is the mysterious person who provided the paintings in the VIP seller area, and the other is the person in power of the collateral branch of the Yu family.Neither one seems likely to do anything stupid.

Thinking about it another way, neither of them is a person who would be stupid, so stupid... probably everyone present here? !

Many people paused, and slowly turned their heads to look at the ink stone on the auction stage, with scrutiny and enthusiasm in their eyes.

Relying on their blind trust in the bigwigs, many people also joined in this very inexplicable auction.

"3050."

"3150!"

"3300 million!"

……

"5200."

Seeing that the bidding price was getting higher and higher, the joy on Shui Rui's face could hardly be restrained.

In stark contrast was Xi Qingyin, who lowered his eyelashes to hide the irritability in his expression.

It was possible to get 3000 million yuan, but Yu Tingyu's price was so abruptly raised by Yu Tingyu. Judging by the momentum of the price increase, it may not be possible to get twice the price.

The money he used to participate in the auction now is saved from selling paintings these days, and any more money needs to be circulated from the store.If you take too much at once, the store is likely to face the dilemma of being unable to turn around and then go bankrupt.

That's really frustrating.

Looking at the ink stone on the auction stage, Xi Qingyin gritted her teeth tightly.

Should I give up... or bite the bullet and move the immovable money?
