Chapter 115: Successful Bid (Thanks to Walnut for the Reward)
Translator: 549690339
510 Spirit Stones, although only 10 more than Liu Yiyuan, considering the inherent value of the Biling Flower rootstock, the price was not low.
Steward Cheng had only intended to alleviate the awkwardness by calling out a bid.
Unexpectedly, someone did raise the bid, which somewhat surprised him.
He turned his head towards the direction of the voice and saw a slightly gaunt middle-aged man holding up his bidding sign.
Upon seeing the number on the sign, Steward Cheng shouted loudly:
“Bidder number 369 offers 510 Medium Grade Spirit Stones, does anyone offer more?”
After speaking, he also looked towards the second floor, at the private room where Liu Yiyuan was located.
Seeing no response, Steward Cheng continued:
“510 Medium Grade Spirit Stones, for the first time.”
“600 Spirit Stones, I’m determined to have this Biling Flower rootstock, if you dare, keep raising the bid.”
Liu Yiyuan’s voice came from the upstairs private room.
He was more than just impatient now. The Biling Flower rootstock itself was not worth so many Spirit Stones, but it was of great use to him.
Therefore, he spared no expense in his desire to acquire the Biling Flower rootstock.
Liu Yiyuan had originally thought he would win the bid with ease, but did not expect so many unexpected challenges. After several rounds, he could no longer contain himself.
If it had not been for Elder Bai’s prior warning, he might have already gone down to see who dared to compete for his desired item.
Hearing Liu Yiyuan speak like this, Lin Jing was not flustered but continued to raise the bid.
“610 Medium Grade Spirit Stones.”
He was still adding the minimum increment of ten stones.
At this point, he also wanted to secure the Biling Flower rootstock, and as for offending Liu Yiyuan, he was no longer concerned.
After all, his identity was a false one at the moment, and he knew Liu Yiyuan would not dare to cause trouble for him at the auction, as that would be disrespectful to Elder Bai.
As long as he completed the transaction and changed his identity, no one would be able to find him.
“Good! Good! Good!”
“You want to oppose me, is that it?”
Liu Yiyuan was infuriated yet powerless.
“700 Medium Grade Spirit Stones, let’s see if you dare to continue.”
This time, after Liu Yiyuan finished speaking, Lin Jing made no move but instead evaluated the Spirit Stones he had on hand. Without selling his Pure Accumulation Pill, he did not have many Spirit Stones to spare. At this point, the amount already bid was approaching his limit.
“700 Spirit Stones, for the first time.”
At that moment, Steward Cheng’s voice roused Lin Jing from his reverie.
And many in the audience looked towards him, wondering if Lin Jing would dare to continue bidding.
“800 Medium Grade Spirit Stones.”
After a moment of silence, Lin Jing spoke up.
This time he decided to go all-in. If Liu Yiyuan raised the bid again, he truly would not be able to afford it.
As Lin Jing’s voice fell, the hall fell into silence, and people instinctively turned their heads to look at the private room where the Liu Clan was located on the second floor.
This time, only one word from the upstairs private room was heard before being cut off.
“Forget it…”
This voice was incredibly calm yet familiar—it was none other than the Wu Cai Immortal speaking.
Once the Wu Cai Immortal spoke, those who had been eager to watch the excitement quickly turned their heads, tucked away their thoughts, and sat obediently.
This showed the deterrent power of a Golden Core Immortal, and no wonder Elder Bai had set this third rule before the auction began.
With such an influential figure present, who among the audience would dare to compete with him.
However, the effect of this third rule seemed to be limited.
Now that the Wu Cai Immortal had intervened, it was certain that Liu Yiyuan would no longer raise the bid, and Lin Jing secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
So, Steward Cheng began the countdown.
“800 Medium Grade Spirit Stones, for the first time.”
The crowd below was silent, and it seemed unlikely that anything would change now. Seeing this, Steward Cheng quickened the countdown.
To move on to the next auction as soon as possible. “800 Medium Grade Spirit Stones, for the second time…” “800 Midium Grade Spirit Stones for the third time, sold.”
“Bang”
The auction hammer fell, and the Biling Flower’s rootstock was now in Lin Jing’s hands.
“Congratulations to bidder number 369 for obtaining this lot, the Biling Flower rootstock.”
After Steward Cheng finished speaking, a maidservant stepped onto the stage and took the Biling Flower rootstock away.
“Good…”
Lin Jing was not in a hurry to trade the Biling Flower rootstock, because the next item up for auction was the real highlight of the event.
“Let us now present the next lot.”
Steward Cheng announced loudly.
Then, a maidservant stepped onto the stage, holding a Pure Jade Box in her hands. She first displayed it to the audience, then placed it on the exhibit table.
After that, the maidservant stepped down from the stage.
It was at this moment that Steward Cheng began to introduce the item.
“This is a Pure Accumulation Pill, and I believe everyone is well aware of its effects, so I won’t go into detail here.”
“The starting bid is 100 Midium Grade Spirit Stones, and each increment must be no less than 10 Midium Grade Spirit Stones.”
The auction now begins.
As Steward Cheng’s voice faded, the venue instantly fell into silence.
With a base price of 100 Spirit Stones, the Pure Accumulation Pill was certainly expensive, and naturally, no one would rashly bid such a high price.
Of course, some understood the significance of the Clear Accumulation Elixir and chose not to bid on it.
Consequently, there were some who sneakily glanced in the direction of the Zhang Family’s private box. After a brief silence, a sigh was heard.
“Alas…”
“Since all of you are waiting for my Zhang Family to bid, then I will set an example for everyone. ”
“However, by any means, this Pure Accumulation Pill shall belong to my Zhang Family.”
The voice sounded breathless and quite elderly, yet it carried an inexplicable authority that resonated with its tone.
Clearly, this was another Golden Core Stage expert.
This must be the Zhang Family Patriarch.
Soon after, a voice emerged from the Zhang Family’s box.
“1000 Midium Grade Spirit Stones.”
The person who spoke was not the Zhang Family Patriarch, but Zhang Yuan, who had saved him earlier that day.
Clearly, he was acting on the orders of the Zhang Family Patriarch.
As Zhang Yuan’s voice settled, another person spoke up in the hall.
“Wü Cåi Immortal, apologies, but I too am in urgent need of this Clear
Accumulation Elixir.”
“I’ll bid 1100 Midium Grade Spirit Stones.”
Elder Zhang didn’t acknowledge this person. Instead, the Zhang Family countered with their own bid. “1500 Midium Grade Spirit Stones.” As Zhang Yuan’s voice fell, another voice arose from a corner of the hall.
“1600.”
Besides these few bidders, the rest of the crowd in the venue sat quietly, not daring to make a sound.
Even Steward Cheng on the auction stage had no opportunity to speak, simply standing there and watching these few continuously bid against each other.
“2000.” It was still the Zhang Family bidding as if they had no concern for the Spirit Stones, raising the price by several hundred each time. “2100.” This was the one who first raised the bid earlier.
“2500.” “2600.”
“3000.”
In just a short time, the auction price for the Pure Accumulation Pill had multiplied by dozens of times, directly reaching 3000 Midium Grade Spirit Stones.
If converted into Lower Grade Spirit Stones, that amounted to 330,000 Lower
Grade Spirit Stones..
