C26 (2/2)

”Hiss …” Everyone sucked in a breath of cold air. Soon after, Auctioneer raised the piece of paper above her head, the hand holding the piece of paper loosened, and the piece of paper flew into the air without any wind. After spinning a few rounds, it slowly fell to the ground.

It really was light! It was lighter than the silk! This time, even Feng Jingyi's eyes emitted a strange light.

Treasure-collecting Tower were normally good at advertising, and so when people couldn't even touch the book, they had no concept of how light it was. Auctioneer's tearing and tossing made everyone realize how light this paper was.

She was a smart businessman. Bai Zheng secretly praised in her heart.

Everyone, you don't have to be heartbroken about me tearing a piece of paper just now. There are seventy pages of paper in this book, adding the words on top of it, it would make up a complete《 Records of Great Zhou》.

Boom!

All of the distinguished guests in the Treasure-collecting Tower finally could not hold back their exclamations of surprise, and quite a few of them even jumped up from their seats excitedly.

”Records of Great Zhou!” A complete《 Records of the Great Zhou》! ” Some people rubbed their ears in disbelief.

”If you want to use bamboo slips, you need two ox-cart!” Several hundred pieces of paper is the minimum! ” Some people stood up in shock, unable to believe it at all.

”Even such a book wouldn't be as heavy as a pair of embroidered shoes, right?” Some people clenched their fists. They were so excited that they could no longer control themselves.

The Auctioneer below seemed to have predicted that everyone would lose their composure, and without saying much more, she slapped the book on the stone platform.

All of those present were people who were at the top of the Yongding City. After losing their composure for a short moment, they immediately controlled their emotions.

”Today's Treasure-collecting Tower Auction, is the method of making this piece of paper — — Paper Crafting Technique. In order to prevent the auction from being too lengthy, the paper making technique must be auctioned off at a price of at least ten thousand silvers, and each bid should be increased by at least ten thousand silvers! ”

With that, the Auctioneer nodded towards everyone and waved her hand. The auction began.

There was a short silence.

”Hehe, I didn't think that it would be such a good item. I don't dare to think of it. Then I'll name a price. Let's start with ten thousand taels of silver!”

In the silence, a man sitting on the second floor started laughing.

Immediately, everyone's passion was ignited.

”Twenty thousand!”

”Thirty thousand …”

”Forty thousand …”

In accordance to the new rule set by the Treasure-collecting Tower, when no one opened their mouths to talk about decimal, everyone immediately added ten thousand silver.

Everyone present already understood what it meant to obtain this paper.

That would be an absolute gain in both fame and fortune. Not only in terms of spirit, it will make all the scholars in the world admire you. Furthermore, before better writing tools appear, you, who possess the paper crafting technique, will have a firm foothold in Shang Hai from now on. No matter what storm it is, you will be able to stand firmly.

As the price rose rapidly, a lot of merchants began to use their capital to win the paper making skill.

As Bai Zheng watched the lively scene, she felt her heart at ease. When she saw Bai Yinan on the second floor smiling in her direction, she couldn't help but laugh back.

Suddenly, he remembered that he was separated by a layer of cloth, no matter how big Bai Yinan could not see the smile on his face. He couldn't help but laugh to himself.

”One hundred and forty thousand.” Amidst the chuckle, a cold voice came out, and Feng Jingxuan who had been silent for a long time spoke out.
