Xie Sanqian did not continue increasing his bid. He merely gave Xiang Shaoyun a vicious glare and committed him to his memory. Wen Jinrui was the one who suddenly took part: ”1,600 low-grade spirit crystals from me!”
Xiang Shaoyun gave Wen Jinrui a glance, and Wen Jinrui gave him the middle finger provocatively, greatly annoying Xiang Shaoyun.
”1,700 low-grade spirit crystals,” Xiang Shaoyun said.
Wen Jinrui continued upping his bid, ”1,700 low-grade spirit crystals.”
”1,900 low-grade spirit crystals.”
”2,000 low-grade spirit crystals.”
...
The two increased their bids one after another, and when Xiang Shaoyun increased the bid to 2,500 low-grade spirit crystals, Wen Jinrui finally stopped.
”Congratulations for getting the icesnow fruit!” Wen Jinrui sneered. He did not have any intention of getting the fruit in the first place. The only reason he joined the bidding war was to annoy Xiang Shaoyun and make him pay more.
To the side, Wen Jinnuo chimed in, ”He is stupid but rich, there's no helping it.”
Xiang Shaoyun glanced at the two and replied nonchalantly, ”Yes, you're right. I have nothing else, but I have a lot of money.”
Those words caused the crowd to raise their eyebrows. Some concluded that he was someone who had recently become rich, while some concluded that he was probably a person with a powerful background.
The auction proceeded with battle techniques, cultivation methods, and some damaged king-grade items. More and more people joined in on the bidding war. For them, these battle techniques and cultivation methods were more worth their money than the fruit earlier.
On the other hand, Xiang Shaoyun showed no interest in the battle techniques and cultivation methods. However, he did not forget to instruct Mo Mo to give the Wen Clan brothers some trouble.
He first told Mo Mo to bid for an incomplete king-grade battle technique. The Wen Clan did not miss the chance to mess with their bid and started bidding as well. But the moment they increased the bid to a point n.o.body else was bidding, Mo Mo stopped.
The Wen Clan brothers were stunned. They never intended to buy this incomplete king-grade battle technique at all!
Wen Jinnuo wiped his sweat and asked, ”Big brother, what should we do? How can we even afford 3,800 low-grade spirit crystals?”
Wen Jinrui had also broken out in cold sweat. He forced himself to calm down and said, ”How about asking for father's help? For him, 3,800 low-grade spirit crystals are nothing!”
”B-but without paying, they won't even let us leave!” Wen Jinnuo replied with a sullen face.
They felt like they had raised a rock only to slam it on their own feet. Xiang Shaoyun saw the changes in their expressions from far away and smiled. ”Trying to scheme against this young master? You are not enough.”
Time pa.s.sed, and finally, they reached the end of the auction. It was finally time for the auction hall to take out the best treasures they had to auction. The first item was a complete king weapon, starting at 1,000 mid-grade spirit crystals, equivalent to 10,000 low-grade spirit crystals. Its price alone was enough to stop many people in their tracks.
At this point, most of those who were still bidding were basically King Realm cultivators possessing a wealth normal people couldn't compare to. Apart from these Kings, the only ones still bidding were the representatives of the various organizations and clans. A king weapon was extremely attractive to them. Not only would a king weapon increase one's combat power, it was also a symbol of status.
”Young master, are you not interested in the king weapon?” Mo Mo asked curiously when she saw Xiang Shaoyun had his eyes shut in rest.
She was aware that Xiang Shaoyun could totally afford a king weapon. When she saw him doing nothing, her curiosity was piqued. Xiang Shaoyun replied, ”A king weapon is only a tool. Without actual strength, not even a king weapon will do much for a person.”
