”I bid 0.5 million!”
Jian Xiaotian had only just uttered those words when someone began bidding. Moreover, the one who started the bid was one of the cultivators in the auction hall.
”Erlp-” Due to his emotions, Jian Xiaotian accidentally swallowed the grape that he had only just placed into his mouth.
”There must be something wacky going on here. Someone is actually bidding for it. Is there something wrong with this fellow's head?” Jian Xiaotian said.
”0.6 million!”
”I bid 0.7 million!”
”0.8 million!”
Yet again, Jian Xiaotian had only just spoken up when the price of the stone rose to 0.8 million Prized crystals. The price caused most of the cultivators there to feel shocked. Such a high price would be normal if that was truly a treasure. At that moment, however, n.o.body knew what the stone was. And yet, they were madly raising its price. Do they have too much spirit stones? Do they have nothing else to do with their money?
”I bid 1 million.” Chen Feng, too, spoke up.
Hearing Chen Feng's bid, Jian Xiaotian's eyes widened. Finally, while still in a dazed state, he asked, ”Brother Chen, did you figure out that this stone is some kind of treasure?”
”No. I am just suddenly feeling interested. I'll buy it and play around with it,” Chen Feng said with a smile.
”Play around with it? Stop kidding! This is 1 million Prized crystals we are talking about here, not Magic crystals or some c.r.a.ppy stones. 1 million Prized crystals are enough for a cultivator to overcome several Lightning Tribulations within a short period of time. It is not impossible to buy a top-grade Prized artefact with that amount of money either,” Jian Xiaotian said, his voice somewhat emotional.
One million Prized crystals was no small sum. Not to mention, the thing he was buying was a piece of unknown stone.
”We'll talk again once I've bought it.” Chen Feng nodded. Truth be told, Chen Feng himself did not know what the stone was.
Hearing someone from the VIP room bid 1 million for it, the auction hall fell silent. Some gave up on bidding.
”He he, I bid 1.01 million,” said a smiling old man with scarlet-red hair.
”It's Loose Sage Scarlet Fire. It is said that he has overcome 6 Lightning Tribulations. Additionally, he recently ventured into a danger zone and obtained some treasures from it. He now has the imposing atmosphere of the rich!”
”It's actually Loose Sage Scarlet Fire! Why didn't he go to a private room?”
”He he! Maybe he likes this type of atmosphere?”
”Ha ha ha! Old Scarlet Fire, you are too stingy. I bid 1.2 million Prized crystals.” Suddenly, a middle-aged man clad in white clothes laughed.
”It's a guy in demonic-looking clothes. I hear he is from the Demon Order. I wonder if it's true?”
”Humph!” Loose Sage Scarlet Fire was somewhat displeased. Truth be told, he did not have a lot of spirit stones with him. Additionally, the reason he came to this auction was for the Sky-tier cultivation technique. 1.01 million Prized crystals were already his limit. Thus, after giving a cold harrumph, Loose Sage Scarlet Fire stopped bidding.
”Looks like there are some variables,” whispered the arrogant-looking young master from the private room who had spoken to Uncle w.a.n.g earlier.
”Whatever! I'll bid once. If I cannot get it, then so be it!”
”1.5 million.” A youngster's calm voice echoed throughout the auction hall.
Did someone else notice the value of this stone? Chen Feng subconsciously thought.
”Hey, hey! I am not trying to brag here, but even most Human Immortals would be incapable of figuring out what this stone is.” Tower snickered.
”If so, there is no need for me to worry.” Chen Feng nodded. What he feared at the moment was unexpected variables. Since no one else managed to figure out the value of this stone, the bidders were simply curious cultivators with money to spend.
”However, 1.5 million is indeed a high price,” Chen Feng said.
”Heh! What do you know, kid? Forget 1.5 million Prized crystals, even 1.5 million Immortal crystals will not be enough to match this stone's value,” Tower said coldly.
”Sii! So valuable?” Chen Feng was absolutely astounded.
…
”Heh heh! It looks like this stone will end up in Young Master's hand,” Uncle w.a.n.g, who was beside the young master, said with a chuckle.
”Spending 1.5 million Prized crystals for a stone of unknown value. I don't think there are many such people in the Northern Plains.” The Young Master was feeling somewhat pleased with himself.
”1.6 million!”
Suddenly, another voice rang out from another private room to 'slap' the Young Master's smug face.
”Humph! It's that Wan Xie.” Killing intent glinted across the young master's eyes.
…
”Ha ha! What do you think, Huo Sheng? Is that Tian Leizi throwing a fit right now?” Young Master Wan Xie released a devilish snicker.
”Probably. However, Tian Leizi is someone from Heavenly Spirit Sect, after all. He is not easy to deal with. Provoking him is not worth our time,” Huo Sheng said with a smirk.
”This cannot count as a provocation. I just can't stand his smug face.” Young Master Wan Xie laughed.
”1.7 million.” Young Master Tian Leizi gritted his teeth and made another bid. He was gritting his teeth not because he felt pained at having to bid a higher price. Rather, it was because he was furious that someone dared oppose him.
”1.8 million.” Young Master Wan Xie snapped his fingers.
”Tsk, tsk! It sounds like Tian Leizi and Wan Xie are duking it out. In that case, I will not be taking part in this. It is just a stone with unknown value. Besides, if this stone is truly a rare treasure, I can just go s.n.a.t.c.h it.” The other fellow, Young Master Wu Qing, also had his own plans. However, it would appear that he simply did not view the other two young masters as a threat.
”Remarkable! The price has risen to such a high level!” Seeing the price rise continuously, Chen Feng felt somewhat shocked. However, there was no way he would give up.
