Chapter 148
At the auction house of Lingxiao Chamber of Commerce, the bid for the mother gold source ore has soared to 800 high-grade spirit stones.
Many forces chose to give up the bidding. It was not a wise choice to consume too much of the sect's foundation for a piece of raw material, and there was also the possibility of failure in refining spiritual treasures.
In the end, the mother gold source ore was auctioned off by a Zhongzhou force at a high price of 8.5 million.
In the VIP room, Zhao Wuji showed regret, but the mother gold source ore was just an external object in his eyes. What he valued most was the third auction item, the Lingyun Divine Pearl, which could improve the quality of his spiritual roots.
At this time, Ye Muxue stood elegantly on the auction table, holding an exquisite crystal box in her hand. The Lingyun Divine Pearl in the box was quietly suspended, and there seemed to be mysterious runes looming, attracting the attention of everyone below the stage.
"Dear guests," Ye Muxue cleared her throat, her voice clear and pleasant, echoing in the spacious auction hall, "What is presented to you now is the final treasure - Lingyun Divine Pearl. The effect of this pearl is amazing. For cultivators like us, the quality of the spiritual root is the foundation of cultivation. Only when the foundation is solid and strong can the road of cultivation be smooth and unobstructed. And this Lingyun Divine Pearl can nourish and improve the spiritual root, make up for the innate deficiencies, and strengthen the acquired qualifications. Whether you are a junior who is new to cultivation, or a senior who has been stuck in a bottleneck for a long time, once you refine it, you will have the hope of breaking through the shackles and opening up a new road of cultivation." The people in the audience listened to Ye Muxue's introduction, and the sound of whispering came one after another. Many people's eyes were full of burning desire, and even more, their breathing became rapid, obviously they were already excited. "The starting price for this pearl is five million high-grade spirit stones! Each bid must not be less than five hundred thousand high-grade spirit stones."
After Ye Muxue announced the rules loudly, she scanned the entire venue and waited for everyone to bid.
After a short silence, a sharp voice broke the silence:
"Five and a half million high-grade spirit stones!"
Everyone looked in the direction of the voice. It was a representative of a medium-sized family in Dongzhou. In recent years, their family has produced several promising children. If they can bid for this Lingyun Divine Pearl, it will be of immeasurable help to the family's future development. Therefore, they bid eagerly right away.
In the eyes of everyone, this person is a joke. Not to mention whether this price can be achieved, even if it is achieved, this family will not be far from extinction.
"Six million high-grade spirit stones!"
Almost at the same time, Jun Moxie made a bid. He thought that the Ten Thousand Years Ice Soul was taken away by others before, and the Gold Source Mine Mother was also missed. This time, he must fight for the Spiritual Charm Divine Pearl no matter what. After improving his own strength, he can have an explanation when he returns to the sect and establish a higher prestige in the Demon Sect.
In the VIP room of Taiyi Holy Land, Zhao Wuji smiled coldly and spoke slowly:
"Six and a half million high-grade spirit stones."
He spoke with certainty, as if the Spiritual Charm Divine Pearl was already in his pocket.
He had mobilized many resources for this auction before, waiting for this moment to take down the key thing in one fell swoop, and then explore the secrets hidden in Chu Ziyao.
In his opinion, with the blessing of the Spiritual Charm Divine Pearl, he would be more confident in dealing with Chu Ziyao.
However, the price rise did not stop there.
Ximen Qing gritted his teeth and shouted:
"Seven million high-grade spirit stones!"
He was thinking about using this treasure to enhance his own strength, so that the Ximen family could move to a higher level.
So that he could find an opportunity to retaliate against Qin Kong and avenge his dead son. Even if the family would use the family's foundation, it was not worth it at this moment.
The forces of all parties chased each other, and the price rose all the way, and soon broke through the 10 million mark.
At this time, some small forces were willing but powerless, and could only sigh and silently withdraw from the bidding.
As the price increased, the competition became more and more fierce.
Every new bid was accompanied by the nervous gaze and amazement of the crowd.
Ye Muxue stood on the stage, watching the fierce competition below the stage, and her heart was also filled with emotion. This Lingyun Divine Pearl was something she valued, and now the auction was just a formality.
When the price soared to 15 million high-grade spirit stones, several forces gave up one after another. After weighing the pros and cons, they felt that the risk of paying such a price was too high. After all, refining the Lingyun Divine Pearl was not 100% successful. If it failed, the loss would be unbearable.
But Zhao Wuji, Jun Moxie, Ximen Qing, Ye Huan and others were still deadlocked, with no intention of giving in.
"16 million high-grade spirit stones!"
Jun Moxie's forehead veins bulged and he shouted loudly. He knew that if he couldn't get the Lingyun Divine Pearl again,
he would really return empty-handed from this auction, and his status in the sect would plummet after he returned.
"16.5 million high-grade spirit stones!"
Zhao Wuji looked cold.Jun, his eyes were full of determination. He had the support of Taiyi Holy Land behind him, and the resources were relatively abundant. He could still support the price increase at this moment.
Ximen Qing's face was flushed, and sweat soaked his back. He was determined and shouted:
"17 million high-grade spirit stones!"
But after shouting out this price, his hands trembled slightly unconsciously, and the family's financial resources were already close to the limit.
Just when everyone thought that the bidding would continue to be stalemate.
Suddenly, an old and powerful voice came from a VIP room in the corner of the auction hall:
"20 million high-grade spirit stones!"
This bid was like a heavy bomb,
and instantly silenced the whole audience.
Everyone turned their heads in astonishment,
wanting to see who was so rich and generous.
The curtain of the VIP room was lightly closed, and the situation inside could not be seen clearly. The mysterious atmosphere became stronger and stronger.
Zhao Wuji frowned, wondering who this Cheng Yaojin who showed up halfway was. He gritted his teeth and was about to raise the price, but heard the old voice again:
"Everyone, this pearl is very useful to us. Please don't fight with me for it. I will be grateful."
Although the words were polite, they revealed an unquestionable toughness.
Everyone looked at each other, and after hesitating for a long time, seeing that the mysterious man raised the price so decisively and seemed to have a strong background, after weighing the pros and cons, they all lost the courage to continue bidding.
Seeing that the scene was quiet, Ye Muxue asked three times in a row, "Is there a higher bid?" After no one answered, she raised the auction hammer in her hand and knocked it heavily, and the crisp sound echoed in the hall:
"Congratulations to this mysterious guest for bidding on the Lingyun Divine Pearl at a high price of 20 million high-grade spirit stones!"
And she was secretly happy in her heart, and this price was an explanation to Qin Kong.
The auction ended, and most people could only watch the excitement and become their own topic of conversation in the future.
At this moment, Zhao Wuji's face was extremely ugly. He didn't expect that he didn't get any treasure.
Then, a trace of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes. He looked at the shadow beside him and said gloomily:
"Where are Master Qin Kong and his apprentice?"
The shadow said with some trembling:
"Reply to Lord Saint, the secret guards lost him."
"Waste!"
As he said, Zhao Wuji got up and left the VIP room. He was going to find Ye Muxue to ask about something.
At this time, outside the valley where Qin Kong was, the people of the Dark Palace had already found this place.
The leader was a young man with a sinister face. He asked indifferently:
"Huang Qi, are you sure they are in this valley?"
Huang Qi quickly replied:
"Yes, Lord Di Jiu! Is there still no news about Xuan Jiu'Xu Ziqiang?"
"Humph, the waste is already dead!"
Just then, a thundercloud rose above the valley.
Di Jiu immediately revealed an evil smile. The Thunder Sword is right here.
