Chapter 126 - Chapter 126: Chapter 126: The Last Auction Item (2/2)
Steward Cheng then said,
“I’m sure everyone is aware, this is the Blood Red Vermilion Fruit, and it is the main ingredient for crafting the Cultivation True Elixir.”
“As for the Cultivation True Elixir, that is a divine medicine for advancing to the Golden Core Stage, and I need not elaborate on its value. I presume everyone here is well aware,”
“Alright, without further ado,”
“Next up, we will auction the Blood Red Vermilion Fruit, starting at ten thousand Medium Grade Spirit Stones. Each bid must be no less than one thousand Medium Grade Spirit Stones.”
“The auction starts now.”
“Bang”
With the fall of the auction hammer, the auction of the Blood Red Vermilion Fruit officially began.
After a moment of silence, the first person began to bid.
“I bid ten thousand Medium Grade Spirit Stones.”
It was quite a while before another voice rang out.
Clearly, the starting price of the Blood Red Vermilion Fruit had already deterred most of the crowd.
“Twelve thousand Medium Grade Spirit Stones.”
The atmosphere in the venue this time was not so chaotic.
Many looked up at the private boxes above, knowing well that the final contention over the Blood Red Vermilion Fruit would inevitably be a matter concerning the families within those boxes.
And they could only stand by and watch, lacking the means to compete with those great families for so many Spirit Stones.
However, Lin Jing knew that this Blood Red Vermilion Fruit had already been reserved.
It would undoubtedly end up in the hands of Elder Master Li of the Li Family.
Meanwhile, the competition in the venue below was still ongoing.
At present, three families were competing, and the price of the Blood Red Vermilion Fruit had quickly risen to twenty thousand Medium Grade Spirit Stones.
And then, the other two families fell silent for a long while.
This led to confusion among the attendees in the venue, not understanding why the families in the second-floor boxes were not making their move. “Twenty thousand Medium Grade Spirit Stones for the first time.”
Shopkeeper Cheng proceeded as usual. When the time came, he began the countdown.
At this moment, the crowd could not help whispering among themselves, and the venue started to grow somewhat noisy.
Just as the noise began to rise in the venue, a calm voice emanated from the Li Family’s box on the second floor.
“Thirty thousand, Medium Grade Spirit Stones.”
That single sentence deflated the hopes of the person who had just bid twenty thousand, believing victory was in their grasp.
They could not possibly afford such a price.
The voice was familiar to Lin Jing—it was Elder Master Li.
Elder Master Li’s words made everyone who had been discussing moments before fall silent.
Then came a prolonged wait. After Elder Master Li’s bid of thirty thousand Medium Grade Spirit Stones, no other bidders emerged.
Such an anomalous situation left everyone in the venue puzzled as their gazes turned towards the second floor.
They had hoped for other families to compete with Elder Master Li, but with so much time passing, none spoke up.
Following that, Steward Cheng started the countdown just as before.
“Thirty thousand Medium Grade Spirit Stones, for the first time.” “Thirty thousand Medium Grade Spirit Stones, for the second time.” “Thirty thousand Medium Grade Spirit Stones, for the third time…”
The auction hammer fell, and Steward Cheng shouted loudly:
“Congratulations to True Master Li for obtaining the Blood Red Vermilion
Fruit.”
Afterward…
The maid carried the Blood Red Vermilion Fruit directly to the second floor.
With the auction of the Blood Red Vermilion Fruit complete, Steward Cheng straightened his clothes and continued to speak:
“Up to this point…
“Today’s auction is also nearing its end, and I believe many people have acquired the items they desired.”
“Coming up next is the highlight of this auction.” “Please welcome the final lot of today…”
“The Lifespan Extension Pill..”
