47 The Weird Master Feng! (1/2)
In his entire life, this might be the only chance Shi Yue could possibly seize to finally improve his cultivation level!
One dan bead might give him some hope, but it was far from a guarantee.
If there were two, the success rate could at least be doubled.
Xiao Moyan Sighed.
Considering the practical value of the Pei-Yuan Dan, 50 thousand taels of silver would be the maximum price for one dan bead. However, the Pei-Yuan Dan with dan clouds could actually make people go crazy. As for now, the price had already reached an unbelievable number of 2 million and 250 thousand; and that was just for a single dan bead!
Even a top-grade dan bead wouldn't be worth such a high price!
However, this dan bead could give rise to unimaginable future achievements for any dan-maker.
It even concerned the future of a sect!
The competitors still bidding for the last supreme dan bead were all comparable to the Reaching Cloud Hall. Even though there were differences among them, it wasn't a huge gap. If this dan bead was snatched by any of the other sects and they managed to gain something valuable from it, the Reaching Cloud Hall could very well be surpassed in the future.
That would be a devastating result for the Reaching Cloud Hall. Xiao Moyan had to consider it.
He thought for a while, before he turned his head to look at the 17th balcony.
[The problem now is this Feng Zhiling... Can he take out any more of these supreme dan beads
Were these supreme dan beads made by himself... or did he just stumble upon them by coincidence?]
”Patriarch... We can't take any risks on this...” Shi Yue was burning with anxiety.
Xiao Moyan eventually sighed and spoke with a deep voice, ”3 million and 150 thousand!”
That was over half of the sect's available funds. If he couldn't win the supreme dan bead with this price, he could only give up.
If he used any more of the sect's money and an accident happened, the daily operations of the sect would be badly affected.
Xiao Moyan secretly made a decision in mind: [The more money we have in this mortal world, the better...]
When people heard the unreasonably high price of 3 million and 150 thousand, they couldn't believe their ears.
”Only one dan bead!”
”Three million and 150 thousand!”
”This is totally insane!”
Many people lowered their heads in disappointment. It was possible to run out of strength sometimes and the same could also be applied to wealth.
The sects, who were still competing for the last dan bead, saw Xiao Moyan stand up and raise the price of 2 million and 250 thousand by 900 thousand. Once this stage was reached, they could only give up.
They all knew that if any of them bid again, they would be offending the Reaching Cloud Hall in public - even challenging it!
That was like kicking a huge hornet's nest. Nobody could afford to mess with them.
”Lunatics like Mu Zihe... are really rare in this world after all.” Meng Wufei smiled bitterly and sighed.
As the Cyan Cloud Sect was the major competitor of the Reaching Cloud Hall, it signaled the end of the auction as soon as Meng Wufei quit.
The drastic bidding had finally come to an end. At this point, when everyone tried to contact Feng Zhiling, they realized that this mysterious man had already left.
He had already left, leaving absolutely no traces behind.
The girl in cyan - Wenren, the girl in white - Xiu-Er, and Xiao Moyan were all surprised.
”This guy has been maintaining a high-profile, acting as if other people didn't even exist, like he was the only one who mattered. Why did he disappear so quickly?”
...
Ye Xiao was sitting comfortably in the private VIP reception room while drinking a fragrant tea.
The auction has concluded. Now, it was time for him to get the cut he deserved.
[I'm interested to see just what kind of trouble the Mu Clan could possibly make for me this time. Humph...] Ye Xiao was thinking, [They must be busy dealing with their own problems right now.]
[Anyway, this House of the Chaotic Storm sounds really powerful...] Ye Xiao frowned, [The other night, they had put in a lot of effort to frame me. They seem to have been plotting against me so far...]
While he was thinking about what to do next, Guan Wanshan walked in with an accountant.
They felt like they were seeing a plutus [1] when they saw Ye Xiao. They nearly bowed in worship!
The ten Pei-Yuan Dan beads from Ye Xiao had actually brought them a revenue totaling 15 million and 300 thousand!
This much money couldn't even be described by simple phrases like 'turning a stone into gold by touching it' or 'a pie falling from the sky'!
It was actually equivalent to a mountain of gold falling from the sky!
”Brother Feng...” Guan Wanshan fervently ran to Ye Xiao and shook his hands, ”Never has an auction in my lifetime created such a profit. It has also created a miracle in this land! 15 million! 15 MILLION!”
Ye Xiao watched him with a faint smile and said, ”Uh-huh?”
He drew back his hands from Guan Wanshan and said blandly, ”Is it really that much?”
