Chapter 526 The Gate to Heaven
In the circle of practitioners, it is not uncommon to spend tens of millions to buy a magical weapon.
"Do you know the origin of this little gourd?" Qin Ruxue asked in a low voice.
"I don't know."
Lin Fan shook his head: "But I feel it is very special."
"Do you buy things based on your intuition?" Qin Ruxue asked with a hint of helplessness.
"Yes, that's the case most of the time." Lin Fan admitted frankly.
The auction continued, and treasure after treasure was sold. Except for the small gourd that almost failed to sell, the other items attracted fierce bidding.
Lin Fan muttered to himself, "How come others don't know what they're talking about? This time, he's really got a great bargain!"
When the auction took a break at noon, people around began to discuss the next arrangements.
"It turns out it's not over yet? I thought it was over." Someone said in surprise.
"Haha, how can such a grand auction end so quickly?"
Qin Ruoxue explained with a smile, "It is said that there are hundreds of lots waiting to be auctioned. It will take until at least the evening, and the latest record is 8 pm."
At lunch time, the Ghost King invited Alika and Du Rui to have dinner together.
Alika always maintained a friendly attitude towards Lin Fan, while Du Rui was very respectful to Lin Fan because Lin Fan had once saved his life, calling him "you" all the time.
This contrast made Alica feel a little awkward, and he even considered whether he should be more humble.
After lunch, the items that had been auctioned off that morning could be paid for and collected. Soon, several treasures, including the mummy, were delivered.
"Are you going to deal with them now?" Alika asked Lin Fan.
"Can we wait until evening? Or should we go back to the room now?" Lin Fan replied.
"Go away, don't think I'm the same as you."
Lin Fan said with a frown, but his eyes couldn't help but linger on the item.
The real thing was more attractive than the one on the screen. He was tempted to touch it, but he was hesitant to do so because he was worried about the sight of others. He decided to savor it in solitude.
Afterwards, he turned his attention to the golden Buddha statue and quickly mobilized his skills to absorb it.
"It's really good, exactly the same as what I got." Lin Fan chuckled with satisfaction.
"Ms. Qin, please accept it." Du Rui handed the Angel Eyes to Qin Ruxue.
"Thank you, Mr. Du Rui. I will transfer the money to you immediately."
Qin Ruxue pulled out her phone and began to process the payment. Du Rui gave up the excuse and confirmed the successful payment shortly after providing his account number. Qin Ruxue held Angel Eyes in her arms, a satisfied smile on her face, feeling that the 2 million yuan had been well spent.
"Thank you, Lin Fan." Qin Ruxue said again.
"Do we still need to say thank you to each other?"
Lin Fan smiled and whispered in her ear, "Would you consider marrying me?"
"Sorry, I don't have this idea for the moment." Qin Ruxue shook her head frankly.
"Okay." Lin Fan shrugged, thinking that pursuing beauty is like climbing a mountain, which requires patience and perseverance.
The auction continued and before we knew it, it was almost evening.
"Originally it was said to be afternoon, but now it looks like it will be evening."
Time flies, more than two hours later, everyone welcomed the halftime break.
"The items auctioned this time are truly extraordinary, and the prices have reached new highs." Qin Ruxue said with anticipation.
"If we keep going like this, the final items will definitely be even more shocking." Lin Fan responded while rubbing his slightly sore waist.
"You don't really have a back problem, do you?" Qin Ruxue asked curiously.
"Who said that? I just feel a little uncomfortable after sitting for a long time."
Lin Fan interrupted her speculation: "It has nothing to do with anything else."
"Haha, are you a little unhappy?" Qin Ruxue teased with a smile.
“…” Lin Fan chose to ignore her joke.
When dinner time arrived, Lin Fan invited several important people to a private dinner, emphasizing the importance of treating everyone fairly. When introducing Qin Ruxue, he still used the term "my girlfriend."
After hearing this, the people present became more respectful towards Qin Ruxue. Although she came from a prominent family, Qin Ruxue never thought that one day she would receive such courtesy from these big men.
Even the leader of the Qin family was powerless to do anything about it. Clearly, there was an insurmountable gap between Lin Fan and the Qin family.
Not only the Qin family, but even a major power like Ancheng seemed insignificant in front of Lin Fan. The so-called ten great families were also no match for Lin Fan.
At 8 p.m., the auction was still going strong. Finally, the highlight of the night arrived: the grand finale.
"This is really a record!" Qin Ruxue exclaimed.
"It's worth coming this time."
"I hope the last lot will catch my eye," Lin Fan said, a bit bored. He had sat there all afternoon but hadn't seen anything particularly appealing.
“There should be a surprise.”
Qin Ruxue nodded in agreement: "However, the price must be shockingly high. I think it must be at least over one billion."
"One billion? The games played by rich people are really enviable." Lin Fan muttered to himself, waiting for the next development.
As several important lots were sold, Sadier took out a small box. It was neither big nor thick, which aroused the curiosity of everyone present - what was inside such a small box?
Sadier put on white gloves, slowly opened the box, and took out a piece of ancient-looking animal skin, or to be more precise, half a piece of animal skin.
"Everyone must have heard of the legend of Axe, right?" Saidiel held the animal skin in his hand, his eyes gleaming.
When the legend of Axe was mentioned, the scene suddenly became lively, especially the big guys from the West. Their eyes were fixed on the animal skin with eagerness in their eyes.
"What is the Legend of Ax?" Qin Ruxue felt unfamiliar and asked Lin Fan.
"Do you know the story of the West?" Lin Fan asked back.
"It is said that the legend of Axe not only involves great wealth, but also points to a gate to the heavens."
Lin Fan explained, "As long as you find this gate and enter the heavens, you can gain eternal life and even the power to control the world."
"This sounds like a myth." Qin Ruxue was surprised.
"That's true, but that's exactly what the legend of Axe is about. We don't know whether it's true or not, but it's been circulating in the West for a long time."
Lin Fan focused his gaze on the hide, assessing it in his mind. He could sense that it was extremely ancient, made of an unknown material, and most likely from some exotic animal.
"Even if this is the hide of an alien beast, it doesn't prove it's related to the legend of Axe. Furthermore, the authenticity of the legend has yet to be confirmed."
"Are you interested?" Qin Ruxue asked.
"I have no interest in immortality or world domination."
Lin Fan shook his head: "But I'm still very curious about the legend of Axe itself."
"Then shoot it?"
"Let's take a look at the price first."
"This half of an ancient map holds half the secrets of the Arks legend. Finding the other half will reveal the path to the gate to heaven!"
