chapter 411: chapter 111: mysterious demon cultivator

after waiting for a moment and seeing no one continue to bid, the auctioneer on stage began the countdown.

“two million two hundred thousand midium grade spirit stones for the first time…”

…

“two million two hundred thousand midium grade spirit stones for the second time…”

…

“two million two hundred thousand midium grade spirit stones for the third time…”

“sold!”

“congratulations to the friend in vip booth number one for successfully winning this second auction item.”

after that, two maids went up to the stage and took the second auction item away.

following that, another two maids pushed a specially-made cage onto the stage.

enclosed within the cage was li qingqing.

at this moment, li qingqing seemed to accept her fate, not exhibiting the fear and panic seen in others.

li qingqing was merely sitting with her eyes closed in meditation, and there was no sign of any emotion on her face.

as soon as li qingqing was pushed onto the stage, the host began to speak:

“this is the last auction item of today’s event, which i am sure everyone has already seen on the auction list.”

“so without further ado…”

“the starting bid for this item is one million midium grade spirit stones, and each bid must increase by no less than one hundred thousand midium grade spirit stones.”

“now, let the bidding for the first auction item begin…”

as soon as the beautiful host on stage had finished speaking, there was immediate quiet discussion among the audience below.

however, no one began to call out a bid.

it was clear to everyone that this first auction item was not something that people in the auction hall could win.

it would ultimately still be up to those in the booths to compete for it.

nevertheless.

the silence in the venue did not last long as a voice soon came from a corner at the back of the hall.

“i bid one million one hundred thousand, midium grade spirit stones.”

suddenly, many people turned their heads to look towards the back.

to the corner where lin jing was.

however, it was not lin jing who had called out the bid.

it was a mysterious cultivator nearby, shrouded in a black robe and completely concealing themself.

even lin jing became curious and turned to look at the person.

all that could be seen was the figure entirely obscured by a wide black robe, leaving lin jing unable to see the person’s appearance.

since the person was especially close to lin jing, he could distinctly feel the surge of demonic qi within their body.

it was apparent that this was a demon cultivator.

after the demon cultivator made their bid, another quickly followed.

“i bid one million two hundred thousand…”

gradually, the atmosphere in the hall became more lively.

“someone has bid one million two hundred thousand midium grade spirit stones, does anyone offer higher?”

at this moment, the beautiful host on stage began to stir the atmosphere.

“one million five hundred thousand, midium grade spirit stones.”

quickly, the demon cultivator spoke again, sharply raising the bid to one million five hundred thousand midium grade spirit stones.

this substantial increase by thirty thousand midium grade spirit stones drew many sidelong glances.

after the demon cultivator’s statement.

soon, the voice of the young gang leader of the black shark gang came again from a luxury booth on the second floor.

“one million eight hundred thousand, midium grade spirit stones.”

just like the demon cultivator, the young gang leader increased his bid by thirty thousand spirit stones in one go.

the demon cultivator looked up towards the luxury booth on the second floor.

then, he lowered his head again, facing the direction of the auction stage and said in a deep voice:

“two million, midium grade spirit stones.”

however, this time the young gang leader of the black shark gang didn’t wait long and directly stated:

“then i’ll bid two million five hundred thousand midium grade spirit stones, lest anyone thinks i cannot afford it…”

the voice of the young gang leader was extremely casual, as if the two million five hundred thousand was not even worth his concern.

however, only lin jing knew.

that the two million five hundred thousand spirit stones were being bid with someone else’s assistance, which was why he could be so arrogant.

after the young gang leader finished speaking, the mysterious demon cultivator not far from lin jing merely looked up again towards the booths, then turned his head away, showing no further action.

obviously, the demon cultivator did not have more spirit stones on him.

however, with the demon cultivator remaining silent, someone else began to bid.

this time, it was vip booth number five that also started bidding:

“two million six hundred thousand midium grade spirit stones…”

at this point, another voice came from another booth:

“two million seven hundred thousand, midium grade spirit stones…”

at this time, the beautiful host on stage also followed up with a comment:

“now, our friend in vip booth number three has bid two million seven hundred thousand midium grade spirit stones, do i hear any higher offers?”

no sooner had the beautiful host finished speaking than the voice from vip booth number one, where the young gang leader of the black shark gang calmly interjected:

“interesting…”

“three million, midium grade spirit stones…”

by this point, no one else in the auction hall made a bid, and the main competitors were now concentrated in the booths.

and the price had been shouted up to three million.

for a large-scale auction like this, the people in the hall simply could not get a word in and could only watch.

after all, three million midium grade spirit stones was not a small sum, and not many could bring that amount to the table.

by now, the pace of bidding had also slowed down.

the people inside the booths also began to hesitate.

then, from vip booth number five, someone spoke up again, raising the bid to three million two hundred thousand midium grade spirit stones.

the cultivator in vip booth number five, when calling out this price, hesitated noticeably.

but just as this person had finished speaking, the voice of the young gang leader from vip booth number one was still calm, raising the bid to a staggering three million five hundred thousand.

facing this bid, the cultivator in vip booth number five plainly said:

“you win…”
