“80,000 gold!”
“90,000 gold!”
“100 thousand gold!”
The price of the geomagnetic essence continued to rise as Tynon and Hoult continued to vie for it. In the end, Hoult shook his head and left the competition with Tynon calling for a high bid of 180,000 gold.
“This lunatic. It’s only a geomagnetic essence. Is there a need to spend so much money?”
When Tynon noticed that private room number two no longer made any calls, he broke into a satisfied smile.
However, just then, private room number one, which had kept being silent all this time, suddenly called for a bid, “300,000 gold.”
Hearing this bid, everyone present gasped. Even if this piece of geomagnetic essence was especially outstanding, it was worth 150,000 gold at most. However, someone had actually called out a bid of 300,000, double of its value.
Tynon gritted his teeth and said, “310,000 gold.”
In private room number one, Fang Xingjian said, without a care, “Call for 500,000 gold.”
The whopping price of 500,000 gold once again astonished the entire hall. Hoult shook his head, smiling bitterly, “Who is this, being so overbearing with his riches?”
Tynon clenched his teeth angrily and seethed, “Idiot, spending 500,000 gold on something that’s worth 150,000 gold.”
Beside Fang Xingjian, Lilia said, “Master, is it really alright to be spending so much money on this?”
Fang Xingjian shook his head. “It’s fine as long as it’s useful. Money is just a number to me right now.”
Currently, Fang Xingjian had over 18 million gold at hand. After giving Anthony five million to purchase the ingredients required for the mystical prints, Fang Xingjian was still left with 13 million.
Moreover, he was still going to take up the second phase of the Martial Techniques Grading Plan. Additionally, there was also still the money which the Regional Academy would be remitting to his account monthly, as well as the Rebirth Sword Technique’s royalties. Fang Xingjian had so much money that he did not know what to spend it on.
Well, actually, it was not that he did not know what to spend them on. Ferdinand and the others had tried to persuade him on multiple occasions to purchase properties, set up a trade association, and things like that. However, Fang Xingjian was not interested in all these. He only wanted to purchase more things to increase his power.
Just then, the second item up for auction appeared on the stage.
It was a box which was looked like a diamond. There was a golden sphere in the middle of the box, jumping about as if it was alive.
Everyone looked at this scene in great astonishment, curious to find out what it was.
The auctioneer shouted, “Everyone, may I have your attention please! This is a rare treasure from the mysterious Western Land. It’s a mysterious item the top notch experts there have created. They call it the Golden Pellet.
“This Golden Pellet was refined by seven level 29 top notch experts using the essence of the flesh and blood from over 12 types of high quality ferocious beasts, as well as over 1,000 precious medicinal herbs.
“This single Golden Pellet alone can change one’s physique, increasing one’s potential points by one million points. Furthermore, it can stimulate the three great specialties, namely the Body Alleviation, Reflected Retaliation, as well as the Strength and Gentleness Unison.
“The starting bid is 100,000 gold. Each increment mustn’t be lower than 1,000 gold.”
Tynon looked toward the Golden Pellet on the stage and laughed maniacally inwardly, ‘Good stuff, good stuff. I’m bent on getting my hands on this!!’ With that, he called for a bid of 200,000 gold.
Hoult also stood up with great curiosity. This item was also very beneficial for a new Conferred Knight like himself. He called out a bid, “220,000 gold.”
The people before the stage and those in the other private rooms also took turns to call out their bids. In the blink of an eye, the bidding price had escalated to 400,000 gold.
