Chapter 114: Chapter 114 Fierce Bidding
Translator: 549690339
“I bid 120 Medium Grade Spirit Stones.”
As expected, before Steward Cheng could speak again, someone else started to raise the bid.
“Bidder number 225, bidding 120 Medium Grade Spirit Stones.” As the words of Steward Cheng fell, another voice rose.
“150, I bid 150 Medium Grade Spirit Stones.”
This person raised the bid by 30 Spirit Stones in one go, momentarily quieting the crowd.
“Good, 150 Medium Grade Spirit Stones, bidder number 117 has bid 150 Medium
Grade Spirit Stones.”
“Is there a higher bid?”
Just as everyone below was getting restless, a voice came from one of the second-floor private boxes.
“200 Medium Grade Spirit Stones.”
This voice was all too familiar to Lin Jing—it was Liu Yiyuan, who seemed to also have his eye on the Biling Flower rootstock.
As Liu Yiyuan’s words ended, the auction hall suddenly grew quiet, some people frowned in thought, while others held back, staying still. “The Biling Flower rootstock, 200 Spirit Stones for the first time.”
Steward Cheng called out, at the same time scanning the crowd.
Although Elder Bai had previously said not to oppress others with power, the voice coming from the private box still made the crowd hesitate.
Lin Jing frowned, he hadn’t wanted to reveal himself so early.
But looking at the situation, if he didn’t make a bid now, it would be too late.
“200 Medium Grade Spirit Stones for the second…”
Steward Cheng hadn’t finished speaking when he was interrupted by a voice.
“210 Medium Grade Spirit Stones.”
The voice was not loud, but in the silent auction hall, it was crystal clear.
The voice belonged to none other than Lin Jing.
“Great, bidder number 369 bids 210 Medium Grade Spirit Stones.”
Steward Cheng breathed a sigh of relief and called out hoarsely.
He had really feared that no one else would bid, allowing Liu Yiyuan in the private box to snag the bargain.
Because, although it was only the rootstock of the Biling Flower, its value was certainly more than 200 Medium Grade Spirit Stones.
They had estimated the actual price of the Biling Flower rootstock—likely to be between 300 to 400 Medium Grade Spirit Stones.
If there was competition, it could even sell for 500 Medium Grade Spirit Stones without an issue.
Following Lin Jing’s bid, the atmosphere in the hall became lively once more.
“220 Medium Grade Spirit Stones.”
Then someone else started to bid, and it was a person sitting in the first-floor hall.
“Good, we have a bid of 220 Medium Grade Spirit Stones, does anyone wish to go higher?”
Steward Cheng also began to stir up the atmosphere at this moment.
“230 Medium Grade Spirit Stones.”
Quickly, another person raised their bid.
“240…”
“250…”
One by one, people began to bid.
Meanwhile, Lin Jing did not join in further and calmly waited for others to bid.
Soon, the price of the Biling Flower rootstock broke through the 300 Spirit Stones threshold, and only a few people were still bidding.
“320 Medium Grade Spirit Stones.”
Another voice rang out, bidding 320 Spirit Stones.
“Okay, we are at 320 Spirit Stones, is there any higher bid?”
Steward Cheng shouted from the stage.
“400, Medium Grade Spirit Stones.”
No sooner had Steward Cheng finished speaking than the voice from the second-floor private box was heard again, still Liu Yiyuan.
With Liu Yiyuan’s bid, the hall immediately quieted down again.
The others, considering bidding again, furrowed their brows—this price was indeed high, and raising it further would hardly be worth it.
