C110 (2/2)
After he gathered all his concentration, in an instant, his willpower enveloped the entire Auction. No matter voice or image, they were all enveloped within his will.
It had formed a complete three-dimensional space in his mind, and wherever he wanted to look, the effects and sounds would all appear in his mind.
However, the moment he enveloped the area, he immediately felt something unusual within the Auction. Not only was the sound coming from that direction, there were also fluctuations of the spirit energy of the Taoist coming from the other four directions.
Because he didn't know if they could feel his consciousness like Luo Mingdao. Afraid that they would notice, Lin Jin's willpower did not dare to get too close to them, so he could only watch them from a distance.
At this time, he was sure of who the Taoist was.
Other than the short fat guy from before and the three waves of spiritual energy on his left and back, there was a tall and slender young man in white casual clothes, who was also the owner of number 56.
Under the observation of Lin Jin, although the young man looked indifferent, the spiritual energy that he was emitting was far stronger than the other four Taoist s who were older than him. It was just a little less than the cultivation level of the Six Suns Land he had gotten from training the Qingyang Palace's nameless fist Technique and that of Lin Jin. Lin Jin could not help but be wary of him.
However, the competition within the auction house was not about the level of one's cultivation.
It was more about money. After a round of bidding, the price of the inner part of《 holly seed》 had already risen to an astonishing 1.3 million, which made the other antique dealer in the auction hall speechless.
However, by now, the two voices, including Song Qian's, had disappeared, leaving only the short fatty, the young man in white casual clothes, and the 40 year old middle-aged man on his left still bidding.
Lin Jin was thinking about whether or not he should kick the bucket now. From the left, right, and left sides of the hall, a burst of spiritual energy suddenly fluctuated. Immediately after, Lin Jin discovered that a wave of spiritual fluctuation that was similar to his current state of mind was being released from the left and right sides of the ship.
Lin Jin did not have time to defend himself. These two spiritual fluctuation s had actually pierced through the willpower that he had enveloped the entire venue, making him think that they had discovered his peeping, scaring him to the point where he almost broke out in cold sweat.
The khan had not even had the time to gush forth when the two spiritual fluctuation s seemed to have not noticed Lin Jin's willpower at all. They clashed in the air and formed a spiritual fluctuation that was three times stronger than the previous one, shooting towards the young man in casual white at an incredible speed.
Just as the young man was about to raise the price, he was met with the rush of spiritual fluctuation. Lin Jin immediately saw his head shake, and his eyes became confused.
”Awesome!” Lin Jin immediately guessed that this was the spirit attack the other two had taken to prevent the youngsters from obtaining the [holly seed s].
With a thought, the image of two middle-aged men with their eyes closed suddenly surfaced in his mind. Obviously, they were the two Taoist s who had given up bidding after attacking the young man with spiritual fluctuation.
”Number 86, one million four hundred thousand. Are there any more bids?” ”Is there anyone else who wants to raise the price?” 1.4 million going once, 1.4 million going twice … ”Is there anyone else who wants to increase the price …?”
After the forty year old middle aged man yelled out a bid of 1.4 million, he lost the competition of the young man. The short fatty also stopped raising his hand, and only the Auctioneer's voice that was filled with passion remained.
However, from the display of Lin Jin's willpower, the short fatty's face was filled with dejection. He did not seem to be in the same group as the forty-year-old middle-aged man, but instead, seemed to be unable to raise the price.
At this time, the forty-year-old middle-aged man had a smile on his face, obviously happy that he was about to get his hands on the inner part of ”holly seed”. He could not imagine it, except for the young man and the short fatty.
In the entire auction house, who else would spend such a huge amount of money to purchase an ancient book like him?
However, right at that moment, an old and vigorous voice filled him and his two companions with astonishment.
”2 million!”
Talking about the Old Man's voice sounded at the critical moment.
As he peeked at Lin Jin's willpower, he saw that Talking about the Old Man was smiling faintly, with a kind and kind look on his face. He knew that although Lin Jin didn't care too much about money, he was also a little stingy.
Talking about the Old Man was naturally very willing.
”Two million. Number 43 offered a high price of two million. Who else, who else …” Excited by Talking about the Old Man's loud shout, Auctioneer's hand that was holding the gavel instantly trembled.
In Auctioneer's heart, he thought that this《 holly seed s》 could at most be sold for two hundred thousand, but now it had been raised to an astronomical price of two million, how could he not be excited … … Now he looked.
The antique dealer who liked movies could not help but think of the alligator who would help their boss shout at the little police in < Martial Arts >.
Receiving such an unexpected provocation, the two Taoist s' mental force that were used to attack the young man trembled, and a sliver of relief appeared on their faces.
Taking advantage of this moment of relaxation, the young man suddenly pulled away, and his eyes immediately became clear. Suddenly, his face turned red, showing an extremely angry expression.
The next moment, the young man raised his hand: ”2.1 million!”
Right after he finished speaking, Lin Jin immediately felt a strong wave of Spirit Qi flowing out from the point between the young man's eyebrows. The spirit energy was entangled with the two Taoist s.
At the same time, an angry and contemptuous voice sounded from Lin Jin's willpower: ”Shameless! Using such a method to bid! All of you are even directors of Hengyang Dao Association in vain. I had long heard that you were poor, but I didn't expect you to be poor to such an extent! Even a few million yuan worth of trash would have to use such shameful methods.
”
In Lin Jin's mind, he saw the faces of the two Taoist s who were working with their eyes closed turn red.
After a while, another shrill yet slow voice called out: ”Hehe! Gongzi Zhou, we are not like you.
He himself is the son of the president of Changsha Society, so what cultivation method does he not have? Why do he need to compete with us poor people for this set of Tao Book? Isn't this lowering my status! ”
At this time, the Talking about the Old Man called out again, raising the bid to two million and three hundred thousand.
”Two million three hundred and fifty thousand!” The Gongzi Zhou hurriedly raised his hand and released another spiritual fluctuation. ”Hmph! Although this set of < holly seed > is not a top tier Tao technique, but since it has appeared on my ground, how can I let you have it?
If it wasn't for my father, who happened to be visiting friends. Just the three of you wouldn't dare to enter this venue! ”
”Of course.
Your father's cultivation is at the Tongxuan realm, so if he is here, then we brothers will naturally back off, but since he is not, then we will all depend on our own abilities. As long as we are able to bid on you, then I am afraid your father will not be able to take revenge on us with the presence of the Chinese Dao Association! ”Haha!”
”Shameless scumbag, no wonder you guys are still at the same level after so many years of cultivation!” Even if I give you all this < holly seed >, I'm afraid you guys won't be able to cultivate anything. ” Gongzi Zhou cursed and increased his mental attack.
The faces of the two Hengyang Society Taoist s immediately reddened when they received this pressure. However, the Gongzi Zhou had to deal with them while bidding. Although his cultivation was much higher than theirs, he still had to distract himself with both hands and couldn't do anything to them for a while.
Lin Jin was shocked when he heard their conversation. Only then did he realise that there were actually so many cultivators in Hu Shan, and they had all formed their own organizations.
It was just that from the level of their cultivation, they were at an unknown level, lower than the levels Wu Song and that Luo Mingdao had reached before.
He secretly shook his head. He guessed that it was because they were contaminated with too many worldly matters that their cultivations were so low.
Just as this thought had risen in his heart, at this moment, he suddenly remembered what Wu Song had said to him.
Moreover, this idea had just emerged in his mind and was becoming more and more intense, so strong that his heart of hearts was instantly raised to a higher level. Towards these Tao Book in the outside world, the amount of treasures they held gradually decreased, and only the thought of cultivating their own Dao existed in his mind …
Just as the three Taoist s were using their mental energy to fight and Lin Jin was peeping at the scene with his mind, the auction price for the inner part of《 holly seed s》 had already quietly risen to 3,050,000, causing the entire venue to be in an uproar because of the sudden high price.
For an ancient book that could only be sold for 300 thousand, it was simply unimaginable for its price to be so high.
However, when Talking about the Old Man raised his hand once again and raised the bid price to 3.8 million, the entire auction became quiet once again.
The forty-something year old middle-aged man broke out in a cold sweat after hearing such a high price. He finally gave up on bidding – he did not have enough money!
But since he could not afford it, he would not let the Gongzi Zhou win. Fiercely thinking, the middle-aged man closed his eyes and released a mental wave, combining with his two brothers to deal with Gongzi Zhou.
The three of them were born from the same mother, so they had an abnormal reaction towards each other. Even when they were training in the same Tao technique, their mental strength would immediately double once again after the fusion, and after Gongzi Zhou forced out another bid, to the price of four million, they could no longer raise their prices, and could only use their full strength to resist the Three Brothers's combined attack.
In Lin Jin's mind, he could already see that the faces of the four of them were completely red.
At this time, the Talking about the Old Man was just about to shout out an even higher price, Lin Jin immediately retracted his thought and whispered a sentence into his ear.
Talking about the Old Man looked at him in confusion, hesitated for a moment, then raised his board and shouted: 4 million and 7,500!
Auctioneer looked at Gongzi Zhou on the stage, and then looked at the forty year old middle-aged man. Seeing their red faces, Auctioneer thought that they were fighting amongst themselves for a high price, and shouted out passionately ten times in his heart, only then did he know that no one was bidding for this set of Tao Book.
”4 million, 7,500 going once …” 4 million, 7,500 times... Is there anything else, 4 million, 7,500 times … Deal! Congratulations, old mister! ”
”BOOM!” Only then did Auctioneer realize that she was sweating profusely.
Even the other antique dealer in the arena began to sweat profusely. They felt that this trip to the underground Auction was not in vain, at least, they had seen the most unbelievable scene they had ever seen.
Only the Talking about the Old Man remained smiling, and did not seem surprised.
No one noticed that the young man beside him had a trace of reluctance in his eyes.
Four million for a set of books, that's fucking expensive! Lin Jin cursed in his heart.
