Chapter 404 Raise the price
Inside the auction building.
As time passed quietly, the auction officially began in the blink of an eye.
"Today's first auction item is the sixth-grade elixir, the Luoxia Pill."
"Taking this pill can quickly restore a cultivator's lost spiritual energy, helping them break through bottlenecks in their cultivation. It can also improve their physical condition. Women who take it have a chance of awakening the Falling Cloud Body. The starting price is 5 Spiritual Stones."
In the center of the hall, a tall woman spoke with a clear voice. As soon as she finished speaking, the monks below who were not qualified to enter the private room and could only sit in the seats instantly became excited.
"Oh my god, a sixth-grade elixir right out of the box?"
"I'll offer 60,000 Spiritual Stones!"
"Eighty thousand spirit stones!"
……
"One hundred thousand spirit stones!"
A loud voice suddenly drowned out the noisy bidding.
"Who is this fool? The market price of Luoxia Pill is only between 80,000 and 90,000 spirit stones."
"You don't even know the Young Master of the Bishui Sect?"
"Is this brother familiar with him?"
"Some time ago, a friend of mine...ran into him in a brothel. Someone had broken his leg and thrown him out."
……
People were talking about it, but most of them thought that the person who called out a high price of 100,000 was mentally ill.
"Is there a higher price? One hundred thousand spirit stones for one time!"
"One hundred thousand spirit stones twice!"
"One hundred thousand spirit stones three times!"
"Congratulations to this guest for winning a Luoxia Dan!"
In the center of the stage, a woman made an announcement in a loud voice with an elegant posture.
……
Top floor, private room number one.
"Alchemy is good, but I still need to learn the art of alchemy from Sister Li."
Lin Chuan looked at the lively auction scene below and pondered in his heart.
Ever since he learned from refining pills in Liyue that the higher the level of the pill, the harder it was to sell, Lin Chuan immediately abandoned the idea of having the monkeys refine low-level pills and devoted himself to the study of alchemy, just to refine high-level pills.
After all, he is talented, and if he spends a lot of time and energy to refine a bunch of low-level pills, the benefits may not be as good as refining a furnace of high-level pills in a short period of time.
At this moment, seeing that an ordinary sixth-grade elixir could be auctioned at a high price of 100,000 spirit stones, Lin Chuan's thoughts became more and more certain.
"Is there anything you want among these?"
Li Yue took light lotus steps and approached Lin Chuan. She handed him the auction list and asked softly.
"Sister Li, are you so eager to support me?"
Lin Chuan's lips curled up slightly, revealing a mischievous smile.
"..."
In an instant, a blush quietly crept up Li Yue's cheeks.
"Then... those spirit stones originally belonged to you. I was just keeping them for you..."
……
Just as Linchuan and Liyue were being affectionate with each other, the auction of the second treasure began.
"The second treasure of this auction is the Jiaoyun Armor, a lower-grade defensive treasure of the Heavenly Grade. The starting price is 15 Spiritual Stones."
"16 million spiritual stones!"
"18 million spiritual stones!"
"20 million spiritual stones!"
……
As soon as the woman finished speaking, bidding sounds began to rise one after another, and even many people in the private room placed bids.
As time passed quietly, the auction was coming to an end in the blink of an eye, and only the last three treasures were left on the scene.
"Next up for auction is the water-attributed divine item, Qinglian Water."
"I don't need to elaborate on the function of this magical item. The starting price is 50 spirit stones, and it supports barter..."
Before the woman finished her words, the plaques in front of the doors of the private rooms began to flash, displaying the prices offered by the bidders one by one.
"60 spirit stones."
"80 spirit stones."
"80 spirit stones, plus a Nine Yang Blood Ginseng."
……
For a while, each private room was competing with each other and no one was willing to give in.
On the top floor, in private room number one.
"I don't know if Master can get the Qinglian Water."
Lin Chuan looked at the rising price, his brows unconsciously furrowed slightly, and a hint of worry quietly appeared on his face.
"Don't worry, from what I know about her, there's nothing in the entire continent that she can't get."
Li Yue's eyes fell on the orange that Lin Chuan was about to peel, her expression relaxed and her tone firm.
"It seems right."
Lin Chuan nodded, gently broke off a slice of the peeled orange and handed it to Li Yue's mouth.
"Is it sweet?"
Looking at Li Yue who accepted his feeding with peace of mind, Lin Chuan asked softly with a gentle smile on his face.
"sweet."
This was just an ordinary orange, but for some reason, it tasted a hundred times more delicious than the precious spiritual fruits in her hands.
"I don't believe it unless you let me try it."
Lin Chuan blinked, his face full of mischief.
"..."
Li Yue gave Lin Chuan a blank look and slowly moved her head closer.
……
As time ticked by, the flickering quotes on the plaques in front of the private rooms gradually faded. In the blink of an eye, only the plaque for the first private room on the fifth floor remained. It stood out against the gloom, its words "Two Million Spiritual Stones" strikingly visible.
"Is there anyone willing to offer a better price? Two million spirit stones per time!"
"Two million spirit stones twice!"
"Two million..."
Just as the woman in the center of the hall was about to bring down the gavel, a loud and confident voice suddenly rang out.
"Two million and one million spiritual stones!"
As soon as the words fell, the monks in the seats below all turned their eyes to the place where the voice came from.
"Is the Young Master of the Bishui Sect so wealthy?"
"You know?"
"I don't believe you'll be beaten to death when you return home if you spend two million one hundred thousand spirit stones."
……
Everyone was whispering to each other, discussions were coming one after another, suspicion and surprise were intertwined in the air.
"Young Sect Master, it will be hard to explain after spending so many spirit stones. Besides, this isn't the territory of the Bishui Sect. Since that person can go to the private room, he must also be of noble status. If he is wanted..."
An old man with a worried look on his face advised the man in white who was leaning in the arms of an enchanting woman.
"It's just a private room. If I want to go, I can go. It's just that I feel more comfortable here."
The man in white robe leaned in the arms of the enchanting woman beside him, feeling the various gazes from all around, and said with a comfortable expression.
"Can……"
The old man wanted to say something else but was interrupted by the man in white.
"I know what you're worried about. You're simply afraid that I'll fight the guy upstairs to the bitter end. By then, I'll have spent so many spirit stones, and someone might even steal them along the way."
"Don't worry, I just don't want others to get the Qinglian Water so easily. Besides, I only add 100,000 spirit stones to his foundation each time, so he definitely won't give up easily."
The man in white waved his hand, looking confident.
As expected, after the man in white repeatedly raised the price, the price of Qinglian Water, which was originally priced at two million spirit stones, soared.
Finally, when the price was raised to three million spirit stones, it was successfully bought by someone in the first private room on the fifth floor.
