The ancient golden token lay on top of the silver plate, the mottled traces upon it revealing the taste of the era. This token did not appear to have any special characteristics, but it caused one to have a mysterious feeling, like there was something special about it.
In the huge pavilion, countless eyes were focused hotly on the golden token. Most of the powerful individuals present came from different parties, the sole purpose of their trips being to seek out this very mysterious golden token.
The second hall master’s matter was obviously not only known by Mandela. The other top forces of the Tianluo Continent had obviously conducted an investigation on the Ancient Celestial Palace, so they also knew the position of the second hall master. The news about his token, which had been spreading, would definitely attract even more unscrupulous people in the future.
The resources and opportunities within the Tianluo Continent were too vast, and if the top forces of any party were to obtain the token, the person would use the opportunity to rise through the ranks and inherit the legitimate right to become the Tianluo Continent’s new conqueror. This would mean that they could also leap into The Great Thousand World at the same time, setting them among the ranks of the truly powerful!
On top of the pavilion, the fourth prince Xia Hong was not the only one who became swift and fierce at this moment. Miss Qin Ya from Tianya House, Young Pavillion Master Mu Shan from the Hidden Dragon Pavilion, and Jiang Ling from the Sword Deity Sect all looked covetously at the token as well. Apparently, the item that they were waiting for had now appeared.
Standing on top of the pavilion, Han Fei looked out over the whole place. He could feel all eyes on him.
He smiled and lifted the silver plate with his hand, then said, “This item will be auctioned now. The starting auction price is one million in Sovereign Spiritual Liquid.”
The price of this token was extremely low at the beginning, far less than the previous items. However, no one felt relaxed about this, because they all knew that the price of this item would definitely reach its peak in no time.
“Two million!”
As everyone expected, just when Han Fei’s voice settled down, a rushing voice sounded out the first raised bid.
“Three million!” The echo of the previous bid had not yet had time to fade, when another shout broke through the air.
“Four million!”
“….”
The bids continued to rise, one after another, echoing throughout the huge pavilion. The atmosphere had reached a climactic peak because of the appearance of this token. The forces of all parties had covetous eyes They looked supremely determined, like they would not give up before they got their hands on that token!
Because of this fierce competition, in just a few minutes, the token’s auction price had increased by 10 million in Sovereign Spiritual Liquid! Another few minutes passed, during which the price was raised up to 16 million in Sovereign Spiritual Liquid!
From his perch on top of the pavilion, Mu Chen looked at the battle array and felt shocked. The real top forces still had not bid yet, but the price was already quite terrifying!
“18 million!” Another bid rang out.
The moment when Mu Chen sighed, a fit of laughter spread throughout the pavilion, which immediately turned the fierce atmosphere dead silent. All eyes were focused on the source of the laughter, the young pavilion master Mu Shan from the Hidden Dragon Pavilion.
He was smiling to the audience, a smug look on his face. He had been the one that had just bid 18 million.
Obviously, after some observation, Mu Shan, who was supported by an outstanding force, had felt confident in raising the price by 2 million! This had embarrassed most of the top forces, who could not possibly match such an amount.
After hesitating for a moment, they finally went back to their seats and gave up. Now, only those top forces who were rich and powerful were left to compete for the token.
“21 million.” A bid, followed by soft laughter was heard.
It was Miss Qin Ya from Tianya House, who was covering her red lips with her hands. She laughed and said, “Since the two of you are so interested in this treasure, I will also join in the fun.”
“22 million!” Jiang Ling from the Sword Deity Sect called out.
Representatives from the top four forces had actually bid simultaneously, immediately raising the price to a rather horrifying point. At this moment, the other forces gave up completely.
Xia Hong glanced at the other three people, then said in a chilly voice, “25 million.”
He was desperate to have this token, but knew that it might cost him at pretty penny. He was certain he could attain it though, as the Hidden Dragon Pavillion, Tianya House, and the Sword Deity Sect were no match for the Great Xia Dynasty!
Mu Shan, Qin Ya, and Jiang Ling started to worry for a bit, as they felt Xia Hong’s desperation. Such an amount was not a small sum to their forces.
Xia Hong sneered at them when he saw their worried reactions. These top forces without deep pockets want to compete with the Great Xia Dynasty? They must be fools!
“28 million Sovereign Spiritual Liquid.” Just at the moment when Xia Hong was secretly feeling so pleased with himself, a calm voice broke the silence with another bid.
