C33 (1/2)
When Zhou Qing gritted his teeth and shouted out the one hundred fifty thousand gold, Gu Canghai's heart was filled with extreme satisfaction.
The Pulse Tempering Pill that was originally worth around 50,000 gold had been lifted up to 150,000 by that little bastard with his own intelligence. Gu Canghai could imagine how much trouble Zhou Qing would have had after this.
However, the price of one hundred and fifty thousand gold, plus his life, was far from enough to pay his debts.
Thinking of his son's miserable death, Gu Canghai couldn't wait to tear Zhou Qing into a thousand pieces!
”Kid, I said I will make you feel worse than death!”
With a roar in his heart, Gu Canghai spoke with bloodshot eyes.
”Two hundred thousand!” I bid two hundred thousand gold! ”
One hundred and fifty thousand rose to two hundred thousand, that was another fifty thousand!
Most of the Spirit Opening and Spirit Condensation cultivators were scared silly. They stared at Gu Canghai as if he was a madman, and even a few of the powerful mages were slightly stunned.
As for Chu Tianyu, she looked at Zhou Qing who was smiling and shook her head helplessly. When she looked at the complacent Gu Canghai, she could not help but feel pity for him.
”That fellow has been tricked to such an extent …”
”Two hundred thousand! That's a sky-high price of two hundred thousand!”
On the auction stage, Hai Zun Tian laughed so hard that his beard was standing on end. He said in a loud and clear voice, ”A Pulse Forging Pill has sold for a sky-high price of two hundred thousand gold coins. Since the establishment of the Wan An Chamber of Commerce, this has never happened!”
”Is there still a miracle? Let's take a look and... ”
”No, I give up.”
Before Hai Zun Tian could finish his words, Zhou Qing's indifferent voice rang out in the venue, immediately attracting everyone's attention.
As if struck by lightning, Gu Canghai froze on the spot.
Seeing that everyone was looking at them, Zhou Qing innocently shrugged his shoulders, the look of anger on his face completely gone.
”This Pulse Forging Pill is not of much use to me to begin with. The earlier bid was only out of interest.”
”Since the Ancient Clan Lord is willing to raise the bid to two hundred thousand, then he should be in urgent need of this medicine. Although I really want to buy it, but a gentleman doesn't want to rob others … ”I, give up the bidding.”
After they finished talking, Zhou Qing's face was pale.
The entire venue was silent for a moment. Then, another commotion broke out.
”This little brother sacrificed himself as a role model for us!”
”That's right. In this era where the hearts of people are impetuous, it is rare to see such a young generation still have such a pure heart …”
”The Ancient Clan Lord really needs the Pulse Tempering Pill. Speaking of which, he should be thanking that little brother over there.”
Gu Canghai sat on the spot with a stiff expression and stared blankly.
The surrounding voices buzzed in his ears, but he could not hear anything. There was only one thought on his mind.
”Two hundred thousand gold, he spent it just like that?”
”He only bought a Pulse Tempering Pill?”
”I was tricked by that little bastard!”
Gu Canghai finally reacted and abruptly stood up. His eyes were bloodshot as he stared at Zhou Qing and roared out, ”That kid is cheating. I'm not buying this Pulse Forging Pill!”
Gu Canghai's sorrowful and indignant roar instantly spread throughout the entire venue, and everyone quietened down.
”Sect Leader Gu, how did I cheat?” Tell me about it. ”
”I understand that you are in urgent need of that Meridian Forging Pill and thus took the initiative to withdraw from the auction. It's fine if you are not grateful, but instead you are slandering me …”
Zhou Qing's voice was low and had a hint of disappointment in it. Almost at the same time, tens of thousands of people in the stadium turned their heads and stared angrily at Gu Canghai.
”Sect Leader Gu, the company has a rule. If you don't want the item sold at the auction, you need to pay three times the price.”
On the auction stage, Hai Zun Tian also spoke up with a light tone. Although his tone was indifferent, it still carried the terrifying aura of a peak God Realm master, shocking almost everyone present.
Gu Canghai's complexion was uglier than a fly's. At this moment, he wished he could blast Zhou Qing to death on the spot!
Unfortunately, under the watchful eye of Hai Zun Tian, who was known as the ”Half-step Spiritual Master”, even if Gu Canghai ate his demonic gall, he still wouldn't dare to act rashly.
”Sea …” Old Hai, this one is merely speaking, I want that Pulse Forging Pill. ”
Cold sweat flowed down Gu Canghai's forehead as he hurriedly said while enduring Hai Zun Tian's terrifying pressure.
Only then did Hai Zun Tian snort and nod his head slightly. The tyrannical pressure also disappeared in an instant.
As the pressure dissipated, Gu Canghai immediately sat down on the ground like a pile of mud, his mind completely blank.
After the incident, the auction continued.
As time passed, the quality of the items auctioned became higher and higher. There were even high-grade magic tools with six inscriptions that appeared, causing the mages to be unable to sit still and bid one by one.
”It's a loss …”
Zhou Qing looked at the familiar high-grade six inscription magic tool on the auction stage and frowned slightly. He couldn't help but sigh.
That magic tool was the one that he had sold to the Chamber of Commerce for the price of ten thousand gold. However, at this moment, the mages who were rich had already raised the price to forty thousand gold.
Four hours passed in the blink of an eye under the fiery auction.
