Three Deadwood Dan, divided into three auctions.
For the first Deadwood Dan, the starting price was one hundred million spirit crystals.
After a dozen bids, the price of the Deadwood Dan, reached one hundred and thirty-seven million spirit crystals.
The Withered Wood Pill was indeed very precious, however, many large pill sects were able to refine it and it was not monopolized.
Therefore, its price, too, was relatively constant, generally controlled within one hundred and fifty million spirit crystals, and the fluctuations weren’t too great.
“One hundred and thirty-seven million spirit crystals, one time.”
“One hundred and thirty-seven million spirit crystals, twice.”?……
Just as Qi Fayu raised her jade hammer, Zhang Ruochen shouted for the first time, “One hundred and fifty million Spirit Crystals.”
In the auction room, the gazes of many cultivators looked towards Zhang Ruochen, slightly surprised.
This Blood God Sect Divine Son, tonight, was really high-profile, showing his wealth everywhere. Purchasing a Withered Wood Pill, he even directly shouted to the top price.
No one continued to raise the price, after all, the Withered Wood Dan was only worth 150 million Spirit Crystals at most.
Kong Hongbi, who was sitting opposite Zhang Ruochen, smiled coldly, finally finding a chance to get back at Zhang Ruochen.
Thus, he shouted out the price, “One hundred and fifty-one million Spirit Crystals.”
Hearing Kong Hongbi shout out the price, the cultivators in the auction house, all of them revealed smiles, knowing that he was deliberately raising the bar with Gu Linfeng.
Zhang Ruochen didn’t even raise his eyelids as he shouted, “Two hundred million Spirit Crystals.”
“Two hundred and one million Spirit Crystals.”Kong Hongbi continued to provoke.
“Three hundred million spirit crystals.”
“Three hundred million and one million spirit crystals.”
……
The price kept jumping upwards, and soon Zhang Ruochen shouted out 600 million Spirit Crystals.
In the end, Kong Hongbi did not continue to follow the price.
Because, continuing to follow up would be very risky, Kong Hongbi was worried that he would fall into into Zhang Ruochen’s pit.
By raising the Withered Wood Pill, which was worth one hundred and fifty thousand Spirit Crystals, alive to six hundred million Spirit Crystals, Kong Hongbi had been quite pleased and accomplished.
In the auction room, many cultivators revealed smiles, feeling that the Blood God Sect’s Divine Son was an ingrate, after all, 600 million Spirit Crystals had been able to purchase four or five Deadwood Pills.
Only Murong Yue knew that 600 million Spirit Crystals, to Zhang Ruochen, was just a drop in the bucket, not worth mentioning at all.
Next, the auction for the second Deadwood Pill began, the starting price was still 100 million Spirit Crystals, with a minimum of one million Spirit Crystals per increase.
This time, Kong Hongbi continued to raise the bar with Zhang Ruochen, raising the price all the way to 600 million Spirit Crystals before closing his hand again.
In the end, the second Deadwood Dan, Zhang Ruochen still auctioned it off for 600 million Spirit Crystals.
At this moment, Kong Hongbi felt quite pleasant, sweeping away the previous depression, the corners of his mouth revealed a smile, ready to continue helping Zhang Ruochen raise the price.
Those other cultivators, too, were happy to watch the fun and did not get involved.
“Next, the auction for the third Deadwood Pill will be opened, with a starting price of 100 million Spirit Crystals.”
Qi Fayu’s gaze fell on Kong Hongbi and Gu Linfeng, somewhat curious if the two of them would continue to spar above the price.
Kong Hongbi stared at Zhang Ruochen’s body, revealing a look of eagerness.
Zhang Ruochen finally managed to open his eyes and stared at Kong Hongbi, saying, “Kong Hongbi, if this divine Son purchases the third Deadwood Pill, will you continue to fight?”
Kong Hongbi was quite pleased with himself, smiled, and said, “You took away the Stone Beauty, and you still don’t allow this son to compete for the Withered Wood Pill?”
“Not really.”
Zhang Ruochen said without slowing down, “This divine Son just wants to tell you that since, I can take away the Stone Beauty, taking the Withered Wood Pill will naturally be a breeze. You are destined to be unable to compete with me in anything.”
After saying this, Zhang Ruochen directly shouted out a price that shocked everyone, saying, “600 million Spirit Crystals.”
Kong Hongbi clenched his hands tightly, his eyes revealing a cold light as the anger in his heart blazed.
Since childhood, who dared to speak to him like this?
A simple sentence, but it was like a slap in his face.
“Gu Lin Feng is also too arrogant to directly shout out a high price of 600 million spirit crystals, this time, Kong Hong Bi should not dare to continue raising the price.”
It was unknown who, uttered such a sentence, which happened to reach Kong Hongbi’s ears.
Kong Hong Bi sneered, 600 million Spirit Crystals, for him it was just a small amount, earlier it was only because he had some concerns that he didn’t continue to raise the price.
Now it was different, Gu Lin Feng was clearly trying to call his bluff, so how could he lose this breath?”Seven hundred million spirit crystals.”Kong Hongbi said.
Without blinking, Zhang Ruochen said, “One billion Spirit Crystals.”?Without any hesitation, Kong Hongbi shouted out the price once again, saying, “1.1 billion Spirit …… Crystals ……”
Before the price was even finished shouting, Kong Hongbi already regretted it and secretly screamed, not good.
Sure enough, Zhang Ruochen didn’t continue to shout the price, obviously giving up the third Deadwood Dan to Kong Hongbi.
Seeing this scene, Qi Fayu gently shook her head, quite disappointed in Kong Hongbi.
Before meeting Kong Hongbi, Qi Fayu had heard many legends about him, defeating the Sage of Soldiers of the Imperial Court and slaying the Beast King of the Barbarian Mysterious Realm.
Whether it was the disciples of the Two Element Sect or the followers of the Demon Sect, they had all rumored him to be divine, almost perfect and invincible under the heavens, and called him the number one powerhouse under the Sacred Realm of the Human Race.
However, after meeting him, Qi Fayu realized that the flaws in this person were just too obvious.
Because, he was too easily provoked and was simply unable to control his emotions.
Kong Hongbi simply couldn’t be compared to Ouyang Huan or Zhang Ruochen, the kind of heavenly pride that didn’t have a broken heart, and even compared to Gu Linfeng, they were all a step behind.
Gu Linfeng was a person who appeared to be lustful and arrogant, but was actually very wise and wasn’t that easy to deal with.
In the end, Kong Hongbi spent 1.1 billion spirit crystals to buy the third Deadwood Dan.
In this price fight, Kong Hongbi and Zhang Ruochen could be said to be losers, and Zhang Ruochen was only slightly on top.
The next few treasures that were auctioned off were both Sacred Art level secret books, thousands of years old spirit medicines, as well as Sacred Artifacts and Sacred Pills.
None of them caught his eye, so Zhang Ruochen didn’t make a bid to buy them.
Instead, it was Da Sikong who had his eyes on a 7,000 year old Golden Bodhi Fruit and spent 1.7 billion Spirit Crystals to buy it.
Finally, the auction entered the second half, and the Holy Soul of the Green Armored Holy Elephant, as the 57th item, was presented to the top of the auction table.
The elephant soul was sealed inside a palm-sized bronze incense burner.
A green light, from the hole of the incense burner rushed out, forming a dense pattern. Vaguely, can also be heard, in the incense burner, there is the sound of an elephant roaring out.
Qi Fayu’s fingers, gently resting on the bronze incense burner, appeared extraordinarily elegant as she said, “The Green Armored Sacred Elephant is a seventh-ranked inferior savage beast, and it was one of the Palace Masters of my Sect, who entered the Savage Secret Realm and killed it.”
“The Elephant Soul of the Green Armored Sacred Elephant, the starting bidding price is five thousand Sacred Stones, and each time the price is increased, it shall not be less than one Sacred Stone.”?
“The bidding begins.”
Five thousand holy stones was equivalent to fifty billion spirit crystals. It could be imagined how exorbitant the value of a seventh-order savage beast’s animal soul was, and the average Saint Sect might not be able to afford it.?There were only two forces bidding for the elephant soul, from the Inscription Guild and a deep-rooted ancient family.
The elephant soul of the Green Armored Saint Elephant could not only be used to refine pills, but could also be used to refine the artifact spirit of a Saint Weapon, so naturally, it was still of great value.
If it was refined into a furnace of Holy Elephant Body Tempering Pill, it would be enough to produce a value of 8,000 to 10,000 Holy Stones, thus, that Alchemist Elder of the Inscription Guild was also determined to obtain the object soul.
In the end, that Alchemist Elder shouted out a price of six thousand Sacred Stones, causing another Supreme Elder from a Medieval Family to only withdraw his hand and not continue to raise the price.
It wasn’t until this time that the Da Sikong, who was sitting beside Zhang Ruochen, began to shout the price, “Six thousand five hundred Spirit Crystals.”?
Da Sikong’s voice was so loud that it shook the walls and floor of the auction hall.
The gazes of the crowd, all of them glanced towards Da Sikong, and at once, shook their heads.
Many people’s hearts were wondering, how could a monk be so wealthy?
“This monk, who purchased the elephant soul of the Green Armored Sacred Elephant, is most likely going to cultivate a certain kind of Buddhist Qi Gong.”The cultivators present, whispered.
In fact, the person who really wanted to purchase the elephant soul was Zhang Ruochen.
Only, Zhang Ruochen was worried that Kong Hongbi would intervene again, and by that time, he was afraid that even 20,000 Sacred Stones might not be able to buy the Elephant Soul.
Zhang Ruochen wasn’t afraid of competing on price, the point was, it wasn’t wise for him to fight with Kong Hongbi but let the Demon Sect take advantage of it.
In short, no matter what way the auction was conducted, the Elephant Soul of the Green Armored Sacred Elephant could never be lost.
Kong Hongbi glanced in Gu Linfeng’s direction and saw that Gu Linfeng was resting his eyes, so he withdrew his gaze and did not get involved.
Kong Hongbi didn’t think that the Grand Secretary was helping Gu Linfeng to shout the price.
Because, in his opinion, Gu Linfeng was a rather rampant person, able to shout the price himself, how could he let others do it for him?
At this moment, there was no one more depressed in the auction room than that Alchemist Elder of the Inscription Guild.
Seeing that he was about to buy an Elephant Soul, who had thought that a savage monk would be killed halfway?
That Alchemist Elder carefully deliberated for a moment, gritted his teeth, and shouted out the price, “Six thousand six hundred holy stones.”
“Seven thousand holy stones.”
Da Sikong turned to that Alchemist Elder and shouted again, a circle of sound waves surging out, shocking the other party into dizziness.
That Alchemist Elder glared at Da Sikong, trembling, stretching out a wrinkled finger, saying, “Monk …… count on your ruthlessness ……”
“Seven thousand holy stones, once.”
“Seven thousand holy stones, twice.”
“Seven thousand holy stones, deal.”
Seeing Qi Fei Yu knocking down the jade hammer, Da Sikong immediately revealed a look of ecstasy, rubbed his hands together and laughed, “Senior uncle, I told you that I could auction it off with less than 10,000 holy stones, and you still don’t believe me.”?
Zhang Ruochen nodded in satisfaction and said, “I will still hand over 10,000 Sacred Stones to you, of which 7,000 Sacred Stones will be paid to the Pearl Pavilion and the remaining 3,000 Sacred Stones will be yours.”
Da Sikong stared with a pair of tiger eyes, saying, “Three thousand holy stones, all of them to me?”
“There’s no need to be so surprised, that’s the Saint Stones you earned with your own skills.”Zhang Ruochen said lightly.
Kong Hongbi naturally heard the conversation between Zhang Ruochen and the Great Soul, and in his heart, he was even more annoyed, with a feeling of being teased.
If he had known that the person who purchased the Elephant Soul was Gu Linfeng, he would have at least doubled the price.
Zhang Ruochen acted as if he couldn’t even see Gu Linfeng’s eyes that wanted to kill as he straightly stood up and prepared to leave the auction house.
Since he had auctioned off the Elephant Soul of the Green Armored Saint Elephant, there was no need to stay here anymore.
“Next, the item that will be auctioned is an Ancestral Weapon of the Sacred Brightness Central Empire of the past.”Qi Fayu’s pleasant voice resounded on the auction stage.
Originally, Zhang Ruochen had already stood up, but his body trembled, stopping stiffly and resuming his seat on top.
