Chapter 144: Bidding War for Geocentric Esne!
Hearing that the next auction item was the Geocentric Esne, Huang Xiaolong’s eyes lit up.
Finally, it’s here!
Huang Xiaolong looked down towards the stage, watching as an auction house staff member cautiously brought a jade bottle up onto the stage, and the auctioneer received it with a serious face.
The jade bottle was a warm, jade green color, full of life and spirit.
The auctioneer carefully placed the green jade bottle on a table and looked around at the guests before he said: “I trust everyone is aware of the miraculous benefits of Geocentric Esne and without further explanation, I won’t ramble on and waste everyone’s time. This jade bottle was made from high-grade jade heart, and inside it contains the Geocentric Esne. Inside this jade bottle, no matter how much time passes, its medicinal benefits will be retained and there is a total of six drops!”
Six drops!
Another wave of excitement rushed through the guests in the hall.
Huang Xiaolong was also stunned.
It crossed his mind that at most, it would be two drops of Geocentric Esne being auctioned. After all, for a treasure like the Geocentric Esne, being able to take two drops for auction was already fortuitous.
The formation of one drop of Geocentric Esne takes ten thousand years, maybe even a dozen thousand years.
“The starting bid for this bottle of Geocentric Esne is three million!” In the next moment, the auctioneer announced a figure that made most of the forces miss a beat.
Three million!
If it was Huang Clan Manor of the past, they would never be able to come out with a sum of three million even if they sold the entire Huang Clan Manor!
The small and medium forces that were looking forward to bidding for the Geocentric Esne felt like they were drenched in a cold hail storm from head to toe, they could only give up on the intention of bidding for it.
“Three million one hundred thousand!” Despite that, mere moments after the auctioneer’s voice fell, a bid was called out from one of the private guests room.
Huang Xiaolong looked over towards the number nine room because the owner of the voice sounded familiar.
“It’s Yang Zheng’s voice!” Fei Hou said.
Yang Zheng’s voice! The truth struck Huang Xiaolong, no wonder he had felt that the voice sounded familiar. He did not think of Yang Zheng, but Fei Hou definitely could tell who the owner was if it was Yang Zheng.
Yang Zheng…then, it means Yang An, Yang Dong, and whoever from the Yang Family were in room nine?
“Three million five hundred thousand!” And seconds later, another voice sounded from private guest room eleven.
Huang Xiaolong’s head snapped around– in the direction of room eleven, it was Ning Wang! This voice belonged to the Martial Ning Family’s Patriarch Ning Wang!
Then, room twelve bid: “Three million six hundred thousand!”
Big Sword Sect Yu Chen’s voice!
Huang Xiaolong sneered– none of the people made a sound in the earlier bids, but now that the main course was here, they couldn’t sit still anymore, revealing themselves
He was sure these people knew he sat at room five since he made a bid for the South Parting long sword for his little sister.
“Five million!” After Big Sword Sect’s Yu Chen voice just ended, Huang Xiaolong charged up the number, stretching his five fingers lazily.
Five million! The number hit the guests like a thunderbolt, and it seemed to echo for a long time in the huge auction hall, reverberating in the eardrums.
“Five million!”
“Who, who is sitting in private room five?”
“It sounds like Huang Xiaolong!”
The revelation of this identity caused huge waves amongst the people below.
Sitting in room eleven, Ning Wang sneered contemptuously, “This little doggy Huang really is filthy rich, simply throwing out five million.” Then, he shouted: “Six million!” After raising his bid, Ning Wang even threw a provocative look towards room five.
“Six million one hundred thousand!”
