“It’s only been a short while, and the price of the storage bracelet has actually climbed to 100,000 spirit crystals.”
Huang Yichen felt incredulous, Zhang Ruochen was about to make a fortune.
One must know that the amount of Spirit Crystals she had at her disposal as a County Lord of an Upper Class County was only 50,000 pieces. For other Heavenly Extremity Realm martial artists, it was already quite a large fortune.
Zhang Ruochen laughed, “Things are as precious as they are rare, why is Senior Sister Huang so surprised?”
Although Zhang Ruochen said so, he was actually shocked by the value of the Spatial Jade Bracelet.
The spatial ring he had sold to Liu Chuan Shen back then had only sold for 100,000 silver coins.
Among other things, it was certainly because, that one spatial ring only had one cubic metre of inner space, which was very small and not very valuable. There was also an even more important reason, and that was that no one was competing with Liu Chuan Shen for it at that time.
The higher the status of the person competing for it, the higher the value of the space ring, naturally.
This was the reason why Lei Jing personally wrote a letter and invited these big names here. It was actually to maximise the value of the spatial ring and spatial jade bracelet for auction.
Every bigwig present was a top figure in the Heavenly Demon Ridge, and 100,000 spirit crystals was not considered expensive to them.
“One hundred and fifty thousand spirit crystals!”
Divine Blood Sect’s Sectmaster Sima Mingde, stood up and arched his hand to the helmsmen of the big powers in the other few VIP auction rooms, saying, “This Spatial Jade Bracelet, the Divine Blood Sect is aiming to win, so I hope that a few of my old friends, will let it go to my old husband. For the several spatial treasures in the back, I will no longer compete with you all!”
“Sima old man, if you say you’ll let it go to you, this king is also ambitious for the spatial jade bracelet, why don’t you let it go to this king first, and you guys can then fight for the several spatial treasures in the back?”
As he spoke, the Minshu County King had already bid again, “160,000 spirit crystals!”
Spatial treasures could not be found, there were only five in total, if one was auctioned off, there would be one less, who knew if the competition for the next few pieces would be even more fierce?
“It is said that this time, there are people from the black market who are mixed up in the auction house, wanting to bid high to auction off a spatial treasure, and then, take it to the black market and sell it at a higher price.”
“There is actually such a thing?”
“I’ve only heard about it, but spatial treasures are indeed rare and uncommon artefacts, and may not be able to be sold at a really good price in the Heavenly Demon Ridge. If it can be taken to those superior counties, or even to the Eastern Region Divine Soil to be auctioned off, the price will probably be even higher.”
……
The news that the black market was going to join the competition for the spatial treasures gradually spread, and naturally, the bigwigs of the various forces became even more nervous, joining in the bidding for the spatial jade bracelet.
Yan Yunyue also started bidding, and just by raising his hand for the first time, he raised the price of the spatial jade bracelet to, “Two hundred thousand spirit crystals.”
“Two hundred and ten thousand spirit crystals!”
“Two hundred and twenty thousand spirit crystals!”
……
Yan Yunyi raised his card again and called out, “Three hundred thousand spirit crystals.”
Yan Yunyue’s heart had his own intentions, the value of the spatial jade bracelet was more precious than both the battle map and the formation flag, as the latter two, the Yan Clan was not lacking.
However, the spatial treasures, the Yan Clan did not have a single one.
He decided that he would auction off a spatial ring and bring it back to his great-grandfather to congratulate him on his one hundred and fiftieth birthday.
Yan Yunyue’s great grandfather was a Half-Saint of the Yan Clan.
If he could obtain the support of his Great Grandfather, the position of the Yan Clan’s heir would be one that no one could snatch away!
As long as the Great Grandfather was pleased, even if he spent even more spirit crystals, he would not be chastised.
It would be best if he could auction off all the spatial treasures.
Three hundred thousand spirit crystals was already a rather exorbitant price, scaring many people back.
The only people still bidding were Yan Yunyun Fantasy, Yun Tai Zongfu’s Patriarch Han Li, County King Minshu, and Tai Qing Palace’s Palace Master Night Huiyi.
“The Yan Clan is worthy of being a Half-Saint Clan, just a young junior from the Yan Clan can mobilise 300,000 spirit crystals, it’s impossible for anyone to be unconvinced.”
Night Huiyi was the first to choose to give up, she decided to wait and see for the time being, after all, there were still four more spatial treasures behind her.
Han Li also chose to give up and stopped raising the price, holding the same mindset as Night Huiyi.
County King Minshu, however, was quite fond of the storage jade bracelet and continued to raise the price, battling with Yan Yunyi.
In the end, Yan Yunyi won the first space treasure with a high price of 387,000 spirit crystals.
“Three hundred and eighty-seven thousand spirit crystals, for the first time.”
“Three hundred and eighty-seven thousand spirit crystals, second time.”
“Three hundred and eighty-seven thousand spirit crystals, third time. Sold! The storage jade bracelet is won by guest number seven hundred and ninety-three.”
Auctioning the Storage Jade Bracelet, Yan Yunyun Fantasy finally raised his eyebrows for a second, even his eyebrows arched, and when he looked at Chen Xi’er, he also had a bit more of a haughty aura, as if saying, “See, Zhang Ruochen counts for nothing, but this gongzi is the one who is able to forcefully overpower those bigwigs from the Heavenly Demon Ridge in terms of financial strength, and that’s what counts as real skill!”
Yan Yunfeng did not know that he was making a name for himself, but he had offended the helmsmen of all the major forces in the Sky Demon Ridge.
Moreover, the Spatial Jade Bracelet that he had spent huge amounts of Spirit Crystals to purchase could be said to be worthless in Zhang Ruochen’s eyes. The main thing was that all those spirit crystals were still going to fall into Zhang Ruochen’s pockets.
Yan Yunyue glanced towards Zhang Ruochen in a victorious manner and said, ”Zhang Ruochen, aren’t you going to purchase a spatial treasure for County Lord Smoke Dust, so how come you haven’t even made a bid? Could it be that you’ve run out of spirit crystals?”
Zhang Ruochen had not intentionally raised the price, which was already very much to his liking.
However, it did not occur to him that he actually deliberately came to provoke Zhang Ruochen, making it so that Zhang Ruochen could not even kill him if he did not want to.
Zhang Ruochen said, “Aren’t there four more space treasures? For the next spatial treasure, I will definitely auction it with all my might, so I hope that Mr Yan will not compete with me.”
“How can that be? The first spatial jade bracelet, this gongzi is auctioning it off to give it to grandpa Tai. The second spatial treasure, of course, will also be auctioned off and given to sister Xi’er.” Yan Yunyue said with vigour.
Zhang Ruochen said, “Elder Yan, do we have to fight to the death to get it right?”
Yan Yunyi said, “It can’t be helped, after all, it’s in an auction house, whoever has the most money, the treasure will naturally go to whoever has it. Sister Xi’er, don’t you think so?”
Chen Xi’er revealed a look of surprise as she said, “The next spatial treasure, Mr Yan is really going to auction it to me? But the …… price is so expensive.”
“Hundreds of thousands of spirit crystals only, it’s nothing in my Yan Yunyi’s eyes.” Yan Yunyue said confidently.
Zhang Ruochen gently shook, having never seen such an idiot who dared to say such words before the bidding even started. Later on, when the bidding for the second spatial treasure started, let’s see how he could get off the stage.
Without letting Zhang Ruochen wait for long, the first Spatial Treasure had just been auctioned off when the second Spatial Treasure was sent to the auction stage.
It was an emerald green ring with a phoenix pattern carved on it, finely crafted and extraordinarily gorgeous, just right for a woman to wear.
Bai Void Spirit said, ”This is a spatial storage ring, and its usage and function is similar to that one storage jade bracelet. However, the inner space of this spatial ring is twice as vast as that storage jade bracelet, with a total of twenty-four cubic metres. To be honest, even I like this storage ring very much, if someone could auction it off and propose to me, I might immediately say yes.”
Hearing this, the eyes of Si Xingkong, who was sitting below, lit up.
However, soon his eyes darkened again, there was no way, spatial treasures were just too expensive, he simply couldn’t afford them. The previous storage jade bracelet had fetched a high price of three hundred and eighty-seven thousand spirit crystals, the price of this storage ring would definitely be even higher.
“Great! If I can auction this storage ring and give it to sister Xi’er, I reckon she’ll be moved to marry me as well.”
Yan Yunyue became excited, his eyes becoming even more determined.
The Min Zhu County King glanced towards Night Huiyi’s VIP auction room in the distance, a confident look appearing in his eyes as he secretly said, “Elder sister should also like this piece of spatial ring very much, I must auction it off and give it to her.”
County King Minjiu and Night Huiyi were both disciples of the Tai Qing Palace at one time, and their relationship was so close that they almost became lovers.
It was only a pity that some misunderstandings occurred later and the two did not end up together.
This old story had always been a topic that the martial artists of the Heavenly Demon Ridge enjoyed. Some people said that when the Min Zhu County King was young, he was too flirtatious and had multiple confidants, thus angering Night Huiyi, which was why Night Huiyi rejected him.
Others said that it was because Night Huiyi’s master teacher had deliberately separated the two in order for Night Huiyi to be able to take over the Tai Qing Palace.
In the martial arts world, there were many versions circulating, no one knew what exactly happened back then, but anyway, one thing was certain, and that was that County King Minshu was still in love with Night Huiyi even now. As long as Tai Qing Palace encountered any danger, County King Min Zhu would be the first to send his army to rescue him.
County King Minshu was determined to get that one space ring and would shoot it down no matter what.
Bai Void Spirit said: ”Space storage ring, starting price, one hundred thousand spirit crystals. Each increase in price shall not be less than one thousand spirit crystals.”
“One hundred and ten thousand spirit crystals.”
“One hundred and twenty thousand spirit crystals.”
“One hundred and fifty thousand spirit crystals.”
……
In just an instant, the price of the spatial ring was raised to three hundred thousand spirit crystals.
Zhang Ruochen also symbolically called the price twice, but, seeing that the crowd was calling the price so fiercely, he stopped calling the price for the time being.
Huang Yichen had long been shocked by the price of the storage value, and secretly transmitted his voice to Zhang Ruochen, saying, “You’ve made a big profit this time, shouldn’t you treat yourself?”
“No problem. Tonight at the auction, Senior Sister can pick whatever she sees.” Zhang Ruochen said very generously.
“That’s what you said, I won’t be polite!”
Huang Yichen tilted her snow-white pointed chin, her slender jade neck forming a beautiful arc, coldly holding a delicate face, but her pupils revealed an unnoticed smile.
Between words, the price of the spatial ring, had climbed to 600,000 spirit crystals.
In the end, only Yan Yunyi and the County King of Minshu remained, although the spatial ring was precious, but, after all, its value was limited, everyone was a great man who had lived for nearly a hundred years, and would not lose his mind in calling for a price.
