Chapter 242 Not Selling
When the price reached more than 70,000, it was gradually stabilized, and a large number of bidders stopped bidding. The rest bidders mostly raised one thousand or two thousand once. Zuoqiu Ping and Chu Xuan were finally ready to move, but they were waiting, waiting for the other to bid first. What if the other did not bid? Then, the one who bade would take advantage.
The price became stagnant at 76,000, and no one bade again. Chu Xuan couldn’t hold it anymore. He was about to bid when the old man next to him pressed the back of his hand to tell him not to hurry.
“76,000 once!”
“76,000 twice!”
Chu Meng smiled and was about to announce. Zuoqiu Ping finally opened his mouth. “80,000!”
The old man next to Chu Xuan nodded and gently looked at Chu Xuan, indicating that they should give this pill to Zuoqiu family, and they should take the next two pills. But Chu Xuan suddenly said loudly, “100,000!”
The old man sighed and naturally knew that Chu Xuan was determined to get all three pills. But this would offend Zuoqiu family. “Xuan’er, Xuan’er, they are not minor in the Middle Continent. Although their loss this time is quite heavy, they are still one of the top ten families, not to mention that Zuoqiu Yang is also your senior brother. Why are you so…Alas!”
Sure enough, Zuoqiu Ping was not happy. He had a fake smile and said, “Your Second Royal Highness, there are two more pills after this one. Why should you compete with me? Are you afraid that the two pills could fly away themselves?”
Chu Xuan’s mouth curved upward. He opened the folding fan and shook it twice, saying with a smile, “In an auction, the one who gives the highest price wins. If Mr. Zuoqiu is interested in this pill, you can just bid. I’ll say nothing about it.” After saying so, he deliberately raised his hands.
The old man beside him continued to sigh in his heart.
Zuoqiu Ping smiled coldly, “Never mind, how dare I raise the price with His Royal Highness?” He thought that there were two more after this. Chu Xuan could not buy them all. After taking the pills, Chu Xuan would still be a loser, far weaker than his son, Yang’er.
Chu Xuan smiled proudly, waiting for Chu Meng to bring the pill up. Suddenly, a vague smile rose. “Wait, His Second Royal Highness. He gave it to you, but I didn’t.”
Everyone looked over and found it was from a middle-aged man. This person was also famous in the Middle Continent. People heard that his son was a talent in the family, but his cultivation suddenly stopped growing a few years ago for no reason. Moreover, his cultivation had been receding from peak Core Forming Realm to middle Foundation Building Realm. It was really weird. It seemed that this person was determined to get the Reborning Pill today.
Chu Xuan immediately fired two rows of cold light from his eyes to him and lightly said, “Oh? It turns out to be Elder Yang, Yang Tianfeng. I think that your son is hopeless whatever he eats. Humph. Are you gonna compete with me?”
Yang Tianfeng hated it the most if someone humiliated his son. But he could stand it and did not lose his temper. He waved his hand and said, “Your Highness just said that the one with the highest bid wins. I’ll give it 120,000.”
“Humph.” Chu Xuan smiled coldly. “150,000.”
“170,000.”
“200,000.”
…
Murong Xianer’s eyes turned bright, and she was getting excited. Xiao Chen just smiled and smelled the tea’s scent from the cup. After a while, he said, “Qingluan, who is this person? Do you know about him?” He thought that this person must have some background since he could offend the second prince of Xiyue State.
“This person is the elder of Yang family, one of the top ten families. He has a son named Yang Shaoyu, who was originally a talent in the family. At the age of 18, he reached Core Forming Realm. But only three years ago, his cultivation started to go backward. It seems his cultivation has receded to Foundation Building Realm now.”
“Oh?” Xiao Chen put down the teacup in his hand and whispered, “Is there such a strange thing? It’s a bit interesting…” He looked at Yang Tianfeng.
Suddenly, something flashed in his heart. Back then in Three Pure Sect, when Chu Hanyan came back, it seemed that she brought a fiancé called Yang Shaochen. He was one of the Yang family. Such a coincidence.
“350,000!”
“400,000!”
In the blink of an eye, the price reached 400,000, and everyone stared agape. Yang Tianfeng was no longer as calm as before. His hand, which was holding a cup, had begun to shake slightly.
He only took a hundred million Spirit Stones, which was granted by the other elders. His goal was an ancient cultivation method. He selfishly bade this Reborning Pill for his son.
