Chapter 55 (2/2)

“1,080,000!”

“1,150,000!”

Even after going past a million, there were still a dozen people bidding . They had been completely enraptured with the golden armor and even their eyes had turned somewhat red .

“1,500,000!”

Suddenly Xia Changfeng’s voice came from his private room, calming down the bids by quite a lot .

“He really is worthy of being the Grand Xia’s crown prince . With just one look he managed to see just how valuable to golden armor is . Are there any higher bids?” Yao Niqian exclaimed in admiration .

“1,510,000!” shouted a middle-aged man .

“1,800,000 . ”

Xia Changfeng’s voice was still as calm as ever, giving off the impression he was just playing around . His voice caused others to feel uneasy .

That middle-aged man’s face became a bit unsightly . Shaking his head, he didn’t continue bidding . It was obvious that one million eight hundred thousand gold coins had already surpa.s.sed his max .

“One million eight hundred going once!”

“One million eight hundred going twice!”

“Sold for one million eight hundred thousand . Congratulations Grand Xia’s prince, by purchasing this golden armor, you’ve become the first winner of the auction this time . Congratulations!”

Yao Niqian’s words were perfectly tuned in order to let people feel comfortable and at easy . Long Chen had no choice but to admit she was a truly skilled businesswoman .

“Haha, it’s just a bit of money . I wonder whether this prince has the qualifications to invite young miss to an evening meal?” Xia Changfeng suddenly walked out of his private roomed and asked Yao Niqian to dinner .

“Respected Grand Xia prince, this little one cannot bear such a glory . However, now is not the time to talk about that,” laughed Yao Niqian .

“This prince was too rude . Please continue,” Xia Changfeng indifferently smiled . He returned to his private room confidently and at ease .

A disdainful smile appeared on Long Chen’s face when he looked at Xia Changfeng . With just his intelligence, he dared to have a battle of wits with a skilled woman like Yao Niqian?

The second item was brought out, and as Long Chen had expected, it was not a ‘flashy but useless’ item like that golden armor .

This item truly was not flashy; it was a deed to a plot of land . Long Chen didn’t know much about it, but that deed caused quite a commotion when it was brought out .

It seemed that deed truly was quite attractive to a couple people . That was also due to the Huayun Pavilion’s brilliance .

Their auction wares were meant to be attractive to everyone . Anyone who came to the auction would find something that they were interested in .

The diverse items being auctioned were only collected by them spending a year saving . But for them to prepare such an auction naturally required a great deal of manpower .

After the bidding compet.i.tion, that deed was won by a rich merchant for eight million gold coins . When he obtained it, he went crazy with joy . It seemed he had made a profit .

Another three items were brought . Although everything was very novel, none of those items drew Long Chen’s interest .

But what gave Long Chen a surprise was that the sixth item was actually a living creature .

A small tiger was trapped in a cage . It was five feet long, but its fur clearly showed that it had only just been born . Its eyes opened wide and it seemed extremely adorable .

“Second rank Magical Beast – Golden Striped Tiger . Special golden stripes grow over its fur, and will appear extremely beautiful once it has grown up . I’m sure everyone knows that amongst second rank Magical Beasts, the Golden Striped Tiger is the easiest to tame . In other words, even someone without a cultivation base would be able to raise it . The Golden Striped Tiger only mates five times in its lifetime, so this infant is very precious . Everyone should take advantage of this rare opportunity . Infant Golden Striped Tiger, starting bid of five hundred thousand gold coins . ”

As soon as she stopped speaking, the crowd went crazy as they shouted out bids .

“600,000!”

“800,000!”

“1,100,000!”

Once an infant second rank Magical Beast grew up, that would be equivalent to a Blood Condensation expert! Moreover its combat ability would be even greater than most Blood Condensation cultivators . Who wouldn’t be tempted?

“d.a.m.n, I really want it, but the price is definitely going to be sky-high . ” s.h.i.+ Feng rarely cursed, but this time he couldn’t stop it . The Golden Striped Tiger was simply too attractive .

It wasn’t just s.h.i.+ Feng; Long Chen was also tempted . Back then he had especially admired Meng Qi’s Magical Beast .

Although he wasn’t a Beast Master, as long as he raised this Magical Beast to trust him, then he would also be able to use it for fights .

The current price had already broken through one million five hundred thousand when Long Chen suddenly shouted:

“3,000,000!”

Long Chen immediately doubled the price, causing quite a few people to give up . Three million was already a price to cause many people to shrink back, and the crowd became silent .

Long Chen couldn’t help celebrating inside . If it had continued by slow increments, three million would probably not be able to stop everyone . Now that he had increased the price so sharply, it seemed he should be able to win .

“3,010,000!”

Just as Long Chen thought the infant Golden Striped Tiger would land in his hands, a woman’s voice filled with hatred rang out .
