Chapter 598: Are You An Idiot?

“Then can I bid ten thousand?” A first rank force Grand Elder heard what the auctioneer said and asked in a jesting manner.

The others in the auction hall also broke out in amiable laughter.

“You can.” The auctioneer did not mind at all, joining the laughing crowd, “Who would like to be the first one to bid a price?”

“One million.” Someone from the crowd instantly cried out.

Although it was said they could call out any bid price, in the end, no one really called out ten thousand.

Hearing someone calling out ‘one million’, the easy laughter in the hall stopped.

“Two million!”

“Five million!”

“Ten million!”

“Thirty million!”

Following the first bid, many more cries followed like waves from the back, the price continued to rise.

Sitting inside the private room, listening to the voices calling out ever increasing prices, a wry smile flickered across Huang Xiaolong’s face. Indeed, he was the one who agreed to give the freedom of bidding price for to the current him, money was a mere figure. The amount was irrelevant.

When the bidding price reached one hundred million, it quickly jumped to one billion in a short few breaths’ time. When it reached one billion, the super forces families spectating from the private rooms also began to join in the bidding frenzy, turning it even fiercer.

“Ten billion.” From private room eight, the Azure Dragon Xiang Mingzhi’s voice sounded.

The last bid offer was six billion, and Xiang Mingzhi's offer suddenly propelled the price to double digits in the billions, causing the hall to fall into an abrupt silence.

“Twelve billion.” After a momentary silence, from private room number four, a sharp icy voice belonging to a woman sounded.

“Fifteen billion!” The person inside private number room three cried out.

“Twenty billion!” A sharp gleam flitted in Xiang Mingzhi's eyes.

“Twenty-two billion!” The voice came from private room five.

After the price exceeded ten billion, some of the first rank forces and families sitting in the auction hall had stopped competing. The price quickly skyrocketed, exceeding twenty billion.

Sitting inside his private room, Huang Xiaolong was frowning at the moment despite the ever increasing price offered. Could it be that Senior Crazy Lady did not get wind of the auction for the sacred grade immortal spirit stone and therefore did not come?

If this was the case, then it defeated the purpose of him taking out the sacred grade immortal spirit stone for this auction.

Huang Xiaolong lightly squeezed Shi Xiaofei’s hand, his eyes conveying remorse.

Shi Xiaofei shook her head, flashing him a comforting smile, “It's alright. Even if Senior Crazy Lady didn't come, I will still cultivate diligently so that I can awaken my Pure Luminance Enlightened Buddha Physique.”

It was at this time that a knocking sound came from their private room door.

“Come in.” Huang Xiaolong permitted.

The person who entered was one of the auction house’s supervisors. He faced Huang Xiaolong as he spoke, “Lord Institute Principal said that Senior Crazy Lady is here, in private room number four.”

“Private room four!” Both Huang Xiaolong and Shi Xiaofei shook slightly as joy rushed to their faces.

As long as Senior Crazy Lady showed up, the rest of the matter would be much easier.

A short while later, the bidding price for the sacred grade immortal spirit stone reached fifty billion. Fifty billion had far surpassed the internal limit set by many super forces’ Ancestors and Patriarchs. Despite that, there were people willing to offer higher still.

Inside private room number eight, Xiang Mingzhi’s face was gloomy to the extreme.
