Gu Xijiu stood up and jumped down from the stage, said loudly, "Let me see, perhaps I can recognize it."
Everyone paid full attention to Gu Xijiu. The auctioneer looked at her and asked, "Mister, have you seen this before? What is it?"
Gu Xijiu said calmly, "Let me take a look first."
The auctioneer did not worry that she would do anything fishy, thus, he immediately handed over the item to Gu Xijiu.
Gu Xijiu looked at it thoroughly for a while, before frowning slightly.
This item was made by something strange. It was neither jade nor metal; of course, it was not a synthetic gemstone too. If it was those things Gu Xijiu could definitely recognize them.
When she held it in her hand, she could feel the cold soaking into her skin, as if she was holding a puddle of cold spring water.
This was the first time Gu Xijiu saw such a material.
The item looked simple and unadorned as if it was an antique watch, but when she took a closer look, it was not. There was a large gem that made it look like a watch; the gem was blue. When she played with it, there was wave inside the gem, which looked like flowing water, making it look like a mysterious eye.
Gu Xijiu gripped it in her palm and tried to feel it for a while but could not feel any vibrations.
Perhaps, it was just a bracelet that looked like a watch.
However, the material felt quite cool and she did not know what the purpose of it was.
She looked at it over and over again for several times. With her fingers, she fiddled and slowly untied the gems that were tangled together, which made it look like a beautiful bracelet.
Gu Xijiu was a tad disappointed. When she first saw it, she thought that it was something that came from someone, from her world.
But now, it didn’t seem like it anymore.
Perhaps, it was just a very odd-looking piece of jewelry.
Gu Xijiu always had no interest in jewelry, thus, she handed it back to the auctioneer and went back to the second floor.
The auctioneer unraveled it and said surprisingly, "So, looks like it’s a gemstone bracelet! The design is indeed unique!"
Under the candlelight, it was shining in her hand and looked extremely charming.
Such a bizarre thing would definitely attract much attention, especially for women. Thus, when the bidding began, the starting amount was already fixed at a high price.
The starting price was 50,000 dollars and in just a while, the price had jumped to 150,000 dollars!
Gu Xijiu chuckled. This peculiar item was indeed too shiny. Once it was worn on one’s hand, it could even be spotted from 800 meters away.
She would not spend her hard-earned money to buy such a thing, even if someone gave it to her for free, she might not want to accept it too.
She had her arms folded and was watching the crowd. Suddenly, a strange voice echoed in her mind, "Little girl, please buy me!"
Gu Xijiu was stunned for a moment, who was talking?
"It’s me, the item that you’ve just identified, hurry, bid to buy me!" The voice continued to sound.
Gu Xijiu remained silent. Was there a spirit in the bracelet?
