Chapter 125 - Chapter 125: Chapter 125: Bidding for the Ling Yin Imperial Sword Technique (2/2)
Speaking of which, Steward Cheng’s tone shifted:
“Don’t underestimate these first six layers; they are already no weaker than ordinary Golden Core spells.”
“Considering everything, the starting bid for the Ling Yin Imperial Sword Technique is 2,000 Medium Grade Spirit Stones, and each increase must be no less than 100 Medium Grade Spirit Stones.”
“Now, the auction begins…”
With the fall of the auctioneer’s hammer, the auction officially started. “I bid 2,000 Medium Grade Spirit Stones.”
No sooner had Steward Cheng finished speaking than someone in the first floor’s hall took the lead.
“I bid 2,500, and c’mon, Old Zhao, as a family head, bidding just 2,000 Medium Grade Spirit Stones, aren’t you embarrassed?”
Clearly, these two knew each other.
Thinking of the price for the Phosphor Fire Sword Technique just moments ago, Lin Jing instantly had an idea.
“3,000…”
No sooner had Lin Jing spoken than he was interrupted.
“I bid 3,000 Spirit Stones.”
The voice came from the second floor, from within the Li Family’s private box, and it was a clear and pleasant-sounding voice of a woman.
The bidding had barely started, and the price had already reached 3,000 Medium Grade Spirit Stones.
Someone had interrupted Lin Jing, so he had no choice but to speak again:
“3,100 Medium Grade Spirit Stones.”
This time, Lin Jing opened his mouth, adding only the minimum of 100 Medium Grade Spirit Stones.
“3,200 Medium Grade Spirit Stones,” the person previously referred to as Old Zhao, the family head, spoke up again.
“Patriarch Qu, I’ve increased the bid, are you following or not?” “Following, 3,300 Medium Grade Spirit Stones.”
“Then I bid 3,500,” came from that Zhao family head again.
Clearly, their relationship was contentious, which led to their aggressive bidding against each other at this moment.
“3,700…” “3, 800…
“4,000…”
The two were unrelenting in their competition, and soon the price had soared to 4,000 Medium Grade Spirit Stones.
Lin Jing frowned and pondered; the two of them were now purely trying to spite each other.
If they were allowed to continue like this, where the price would end up was anybody’s guess, and it had to be stopped in time.
“4,500…”
Again, it was the clear-voiced woman from the second floor Li Family’s box.
However, just as she was speaking, Lin Jing interrupted her.
“5,000, Medium Grade Spirit Stones.”
Suddenly, the auction hall fell silent, even the two previously bidding went quiet, clearly, the price had exceeded their budget.
“5,000 Spirit Stones, for the first time.”
After a while, seeing no one starting to bid, Steward Cheng began the countdown.
But a moment later, the crowd within the hall was looking at Lin Jing and whispering among themselves, yet still, no one placed a bid. “5,000 Medium Grade Spirit Stones, for the second time.”
Steward Cheng’s voice rose again, enticingly:
“If no one bids, then the Ling Yin Imperial Sword Technique will be sold…”
At that moment, the voice from the second floor rang out again.
“5,100, Medium Grade Spirit Stones.”
This time, however, her voice seemed somewhat urgent.
Seeing this, Steward Cheng quickly exclaimed:
“Good, 5,100…”
Without waiting for Steward Cheng to finish, Lin Jing immediately placed his bid, without a moment’s hesitation.
“5,300 Medium Grade Spirit Stones.”
The tone of his voice conveyed confidence, blurring the line between bluff and certainty..
