Chapter 723 - Winner Of The Auction (1/2)
”400,000 spirit stones!”
”410,000 spirit stones!”
”420,000 spirit stones!”
Even though the auction is already at 400,000 spirit stones, which is worth 4 billion gold, the atmosphere there did not quiet down and remained as tense as ever. In fact, it was only getting more tense.
”450,000 spirit stones!”
”470,000 spirit stones!”
”500,000 spirit stones!”
When the spirit stones reached 500,000 spirit stones, someone there suddenly increased the bid significantly.
”One million spirit stones!”
Many bidders there turned to look at the person who just spoke with raised eyebrows.
While nobody there doubted for a second that the bid wouldn't reach that price point, they didn't want such an exciting auction to end so early. After all, they could simply bid their maximum budget at one go and call it a day.
However, that would be boring, and such actions are frowned upon in auctions, sort of like an unspoken rule.
”Slow down, Bai Ning. I know you want the Flood Dragon's scale very badly, but let's enjoy ourselves in this unprecedented event that might never happen again. Furthermore, you wouldn't want the auction to end in an instant, do you? This might be your last chance looking at the Flood Dragon's scale so closely, after all.” Someone there called out the individual, publicly shaming him.
”If you don't shut up, I will increase it by another million,” said the man in a sneering manner.
”1,010,000 spirit stones!”
The people there continued to bid shortly after.
Inside the VIP room, Xiao Hua suddenly raised her eyebrows.
She turned to look at Feng Yuxiang and said, ”Phoenix, I can sense Brother Yuan's presence in this place…”
Feng Yuxiang immediately snapped her head at her and exclaimed in a low voice, ”What?! Impossible! What's he doing here?!”
She quickly tried to sense Yuan's presence through their servant and master connection, and sure enough, she was able to sense his presence as well, albeit a little faint.
”W-What is the Young Master doing here?! If he finds out that we're selling the Flood Dragon's scale to help him, he might be a little upset…”
”I don't think Brother Yuan will be upset.” Xiao Hua said.
”But just to be safe, we should keep this a secret from him until we know how he feels about the auction.” Feng Yuxiang sighed.
The auction continued for another thirty minutes, reaching two million spirit stones.
”Heavens, it's already 20 billion gold… Just how much wealth do these cultivators have?” Yuan mumbled in a dazed voice.
He thought having a couple billion of gold was already wealthy, but compared to these powerhouses, it was like a drop of water in the ocean.
”If you think about it, they had thousands of years to save up this much money.” Chu Liuxiang said.
