"Whoa, who would be so ruthless to seize soone else's toilet?" Sun Wuxi laughed as he saw clearly what the auction item was.
Li Xiu also realized what it was. It turned out to be a golden toilet, with the tank and main body seemingly cast entirely from gold.
The flush buttons were a red and a blue, boasting a ruby and a sapphire.
Judging by the size of the gemstones, a conservative estimate would be twenty to thirty carats.
"Ladies and gentlen, this golden toilet was transported from the City Lord's Mansion in Golden City. On the toilet are a ruby and a sapphire. However, items from the Demon Kingdom may differ from ours, so whether the value can be equated to the equivalent on Earth in gold and gemstones is open to individual judgnt. One golden toilet from Golden City, starting price ten million Eternal Coins, bidding begins now." The auctioneer announced the starting price, and the bidding officially began.
Ten million for a toilet embedded with pure gold, rubies, and sapphires; even if you just stripped the materials, it wouldn't result in too much of a loss and might even yield a profit.
But according to the auctioneer, the gold used for the golden toilet might not equate in value to gold from Earth, and there might be issues with the gemstones too.
So, everyone hesitated for a mont, and no one made a bid.
"Does the gold used in that toilet have the sa effect of blocking gemstone light energy? Do the gemstones themselves contain light energy?" A middle-aged man couldn't help but ask.
The auctioneer smiled and said, "Patriarch Liu, you should be aware of the rules of the Demon Treasure Auction. The items are here for examination, and whether they have value is up to your judgnt."
It seed so knew that asking the Liu Family Patriarch was pointless. Those interested in the golden toilet approached the platform to examine it closely.
Li Xiu also went up to inspect the golden toilet. He initially thought the hunger sensation was caused by the ruby and sapphire set into the buttons. But after close examination, he found this wasn't the case, as these two gemstones caused no sensation.
Whatever made his stomach hungry, he couldn't pinpoint it, but it was definitely on the toilet.
"Strange, ever since the Demon Spirit larvae parasitized in my body, I've only been interested in gemstones. This change actually made interested in the golden toilet." Li Xiu felt frustrated.
Though now he doesn't need to swallow gemstones, just dripping blood on what makes him hungry is enough; these materials still need to be absorbed into his body. To absorb an entire toilet and have it circulate inside felt sowhat awkward.
"One million fifty thousand." A bid was called, and Li Xiu looked over to see it was from an elder.
Li Xiu wasn't familiar with the elders, having only t a few like Old Knife. Recently, Celestial Heaven appointed so new elders whom Li Xiu didn't know.
"That's the newly appointed tenth elder Liu He, although the Liu Family isn't a major power in Celestial Heaven, they excel at business. Their family strength may be average, but they're extrely wealthy. Liu He's elder appointnt owes much to the family's monetary power." Wan Chaoxin quietly explained Liu He and the Liu Family's background to Li Xiu.
"No wonder," Li Xiu nodded.
"This kind of item isn't very practical, only the wealthy Liu Family would fancy such a thing," Sun Wuxi comnted with a smirk.
Just as he finished speaking, he saw Li Xiu next to him raise a bid card, suddenly feeling a bit astonished.
"Eleven million... Commander Li bids eleven million... Is there a higher offer..." The auctioneer shouted excitedly.
"Twelve million." Liu He appeared unwilling to give up, continuing to bid higher.
Li Xiu raised his bid card again but only added the minimum of fifty thousand.
Liu He seed determined to have the golden toilet. As soon as Li Xiu raised his bid, he raised the price directly to fourteen million.
Besides Li Xiu and Liu He, there weren't many others bidding for the golden toilet.
Firstly, they weren't clear about the toilet's value, and secondly, the price wasn't low. Before the Demon Country Ancient Gold Box in Celestial Communication City was auctioned, prominent figures were unwilling to spend so much money, fearing it would affect the later Auction of the Demon Country Ancient Gold Box.
Li Xiu added another fifty thousand, and Liu He, without blinking, raised it imdiately to seventeen million.
Li Xiu frowned slightly, knowing there might be a Demon Spirit Gemstone inside the golden toilet. But Demon Spirit Gemstones could produce both good and bad Demon Spirits, and if the quality were poor and the golden toilet itself wasn't valuable, then seventeen million would be too high.
"Seventeen million... seventeen million... Is there anyone else who will increase the bid..." The auctioneer called as he kept his eyes on Li Xiu.
Li Xiu thought for a mont and decided to abandon the bid. Seventeen million Eternal Coins could buy a high-quality Demon Spirit; there was no need to compete.
"Seventeen million five hundred thousand." Unexpectedly, Han Minghui suddenly called out a bid.
Liu He looked at Han Minghui, hesitated, and did not raise the bid further.
Li Xiu also looked at Han Minghui, feeling that the vice president was a bit unpredictable today, uncertain of her intentions.
