40 The Regeneration Ink Lotus and the Cosmic Hades (2/2)

One would be able to hear a drop of sweat fall on the floor as the salesroom was filled in utter silence!

This was madness!

They raised an item's price from 50 thousand taels of silver to 2.5 million! They were absolutely insane!

Ye Xiao was stunned by finding that a girl could actually be this crazy.

The voice of the girl sounded from the 7th balcony again, ”My dear friend from the 17th balcony... please accept my apologies... I'm not intentionally opposing you. My father has been seriously ill for many years, and we couldn't find any cure until now... Today, I have to take this Regeneration Ink Lotus even if it will cost all my savings... I am not against you.”

The girl spoke softly. It made people feel sympathetic towards her. Most people in the crowd were thinking, [Apparently you're not the one to be blamed.]

Ye Xiao collected his thoughts and stayed quiet for a while.

Two and a half million was truly too much to spend for Ye Xiao at this moment in time. After all, he still needed the money for other items, so he eventually decided to stop bidding.

When everyone was expecting him to raise the price to five million, this arrogant man actually stopped... This was completely out of their expectation.

When the gavel hit the table, people realized that the man in the 17th balcony had truly given up...

”Thank you! Thank you all!” The girl's voice was full of gratefulness, but still carried a hint of sadness, ”If my father can revive from the disease, it is because of all your blessings.”

Many people felt satisfied and spoke aloud, ”My pleasure.”

The girl in white, who had fought against Ye Xiao earlier, was sitting in the 1st balcony at the moment. She suddenly felt that she might make an enemy, [It turns out there is a girl who can actually be my opponent.]

She couldn't help but look at the 7th balcony.

Inside was a girl in cyan clothing sitting. A layer of silk covered half of her face, however, the gentleness she had shown everyone couldn't be observed in her eyes; her eyes were even sharp and cold.

”Master's wound... Now there is hope.” The girl in cyan was thinking. She couldn't help glancing at the 17th balcony, ”Who is this guy? He nearly stopped me... I only have notes for 3 million taels of silver in total with me today. I was trying to get a supreme dan bead after the Regeneration Ink Lotus. Now that plan is impossible...”

”That bastard has destroyed my plan!” The girl in cyan gnashed her teeth and thought bitterly.

After the scene of 'a girl trying to save her dying father' was over, the auction continued.

There were six medicines being auctioned on the stage one-by-one. Ye Xiao took all of them by doubling the starting price with his first bid!

No one wanted to mess with him as they thought that he was an extremely rich lunatic.

They didn't wish to be disgraced like the guy from the Mu Clan in front of the public.

As Master Feng had won most of the items, Guan Wanshan's face had turned pale!

In fact, the items, which were bought by Feng Zhiling, were all taken in very low prices except for the Crystal Lotus!

Ye Xiao had doubled the starting price for every item, and nobody dared to bid after him as they didn't want to be disgraced. It seemed fair...

However, when people thought deeper about it, they immediately realized the problem. It looked like Ye Xiao had spent a lot for all these items, but in fact he had gotten very good deals, because no one dared to compete with him.

He was so tricky!

People felt angry when they figured the situation out.

Finally, one of the leading items of this auction got to the stage. It instantly drew everyone's eyes.

Two young lads carried a box onto the stage. Suddenly, a stream of cold qi coiled around the stage. People could clearly feel that it was getting colder and colder. They couldn't help shivering with half-closed eyes.

”The next item is a stone which has come from the far reaches of the universe. Its basis is the mysterious mythical metal - the Cosmic Hades!” Guan Wanshan said.

Everyone wore an expression which said 'I see' when they heard about 'the Cosmic Hades'.

No wonder it had drawn everyone's eyes.

Some people smiled purposefully, ”It's still on sale...”

”This piece of Cosmic Hades has been producing extremely cold qi since it first landed in the world three thousand years ago. No matter what it was, everything within a radius of ten meters around it would be frozen!”

Feeling the coldness of the stone, Ye Xiao suddenly shook. He was slack-jawed.

At that moment, the spiritual space inside his body had started to tremble; this was something that had never happened before...
