Chapter 123: Shameless People (Third Update, Seeking Monthly Tickets!)

  (Third update, thank you everyone!)

  Beautiful woman auctioneer, just like her name, Shuya.

  The warm voice is very comfortable to listen to, and the just-right expression is elegant and moving.

  "Alright, I believe everyone is eager, the auction is now officially starting!"

  As Su Ya's voice fell, a vigorous and refreshing girl with a strong suit held a treasured sword with a classic aura in her hands. The scabbard was exquisite and carved with dense symbols.

  Everyone's gaze was drawn over there instantly.

  Clang!

  The girl drew her sword from its scabbard, and instantly a red glow flashed, a strong killing intent spread out.

  "This is the first item of this auction, the Red Blood Sword, a low-grade spiritual artifact. It was obtained in a certain ruin a year ago. After going through many years, it still cannot conceal its intense killing intent, cutting iron like mud, sharp and unmatched. Its value, I believe, is already determined in your minds. The starting price is 5,000 eighth-grade spirit beads, with each bid increase not less than 100 beads." Su Ya introduced, her eyes scanning the crowd.

  At the same time as Shu Ya's introduction, a spirited and elegant young girl had already begun to dance with her sword on the auction stage. The blood-red glow was flashing in and out, and the killing intent was becoming increasingly intense. Moreover, the girl's swordsmanship was fierce, violent, and direct, apparently matching the killing intent of the Red Blood Sword. This caused the countless people in the auction hall to be shocked and amazed, especially those cultivators with cold and ruthless auras, who were even more fervent in their gazes. However, for ordinary people seated in the audience, it was clear that they had the desire but not the financial means. A spiritual artifact wasn't something they could afford. The starting bid alone was enough to make eighty percent of the people's eyes widen in shock.

  There's no doubt this is something for newcomers to compete with.

  "The starting price of this auction is so high? The first item is already a low-grade spiritual artifact..." Chen Hao looked at Yun Fei Yan with some surprise and asked.

  "The first item must be taken out of hand. This is a small climax. How many spiritual instruments do you think there are?"

  "I knew it..."

  ……

  "Go for 5100!"

  A cold voice came from a VIP box.

  "Good heavens, what kind of spiritual artifact is this? Holding onto it will scare off all the beauties... Cloud Senior Sister, shouldn't there be more spiritual artifacts in the back?" Dongfang Jun's eyes were clearly covetous, but his words revealed that he was only greedy for the spiritual artifact, not this murderous and domineering one.

  "There are. At least more than a dozen will appear... The later it gets, the higher the price will be. This one, at the very least, would require 10,000 eighth-grade spirit dan to possibly bid on. How many spirit dan do you have?"

  "Add more than 20,000 points from your side..." Dongfang Jun said.

  "Six thousand!" Someone in another private room directly added six thousand.

  Immediately, offers came one after another, and the price continued to soar. It quickly reached 10,000 as Yunfei Yan had said. At this moment, there were only two bidders left.

  Both parties had a tone of necessity, but now the bidding has slowed down, apparently both have reached their limits.

  But under Shuya's enchanting voice, it was still raised bit by bit and finally sold to one of them for 20,000 yuan.

  After the first spiritual instrument, it was indeed as Yunfei Yan said that although the auctioned items were not bad, they were far inferior to the spiritual instrument in terms of price. Special-effect elixirs, precious refining materials, top-grade treasures, and protective gear, etc., these things were basically bid on by ordinary seat holders. All the VIP seats obviously came for the spiritual instrument.

  Just as the sixteenth item was brought to the auction table by a young maid with both hands, before the auctioneer Shuya had introduced it, Chen Huan, who had been lacking interest all along, suddenly felt a strong surge in his mind.

  "Good stuff... Chen Hao, take a picture!" The slightly excited voice of Tanbaojian Ling came over.

  On the golden tray was placed a white jade box, one foot square. The treasure had not yet appeared, but the Treasure Sword's sensitive and changing aura already knew what was inside the box.

  "The sixteenth item, a purple crystal jade rough stone. The purple crystal jade has the effect of gathering the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and calming the mind. It is extremely rare. The aura of this rough stone clearly has a high possibility of containing purple crystal jade. The starting price is one hundred eight-grade spirit dan. If you're lucky, if there really is purple crystal jade present, even just a small piece, it's worth dozens or hundreds of times more... Carve it into your favorite accessory, wear it close to your body, and it will have a great effect during cultivation. The short-term effect may not be obvious, but if you let younger generations wear it from a young age, the effect is enormous. Suitable for both martial artists and cultivators. I believe everyone understands, so I won't say more. Let's start the auction!"

  "Not bad, not bad. Although I don't know if it can produce purple crystal jade, this thing, I want it. Let's try my luck, who knows, maybe I'll get some and give it to my granddaughter as a gift, haha... I'll offer 150!" An old man on the ordinary seat suddenly said with great interest.

  "Oh dear, Old Wood, I'd like to try my luck too, send my grandson off, don't blame me, haha, I'll add 180!"

  "Two hundred!" Another old man cried out immediately.

  The price is simply incomparable to the Red Blood Sword. However, those who can bid for a spiritual artifact are not individuals, but rather have kingdoms, provinces, and empires backing them financially. Otherwise, even a top-notch family like the Eastern Jun would have to bleed heavily to afford it.

  Now this purple crystal jade rough stone, although it is only priced at 200 pieces, is not a small amount. Otherwise, the Xuanwu Empire's reward to Chen Huan and others would not be possible with just 100 eighth-grade spiritual elixirs, plus seventh- and sixth-grade spiritual elixirs, totaling a value equivalent to 300 eighth-grade spiritual elixirs.

  "Amethyst jade is not that easy to come by, truly a rich man's thing... Hmm, Shidi, are you interested?" Yunfei Yan suddenly discovered Chen Huan's gaze fixed intently on the amethyst jade rough stone, and asked with some surprise.

  "A bit. I like carving, this thing seems quite suitable..." Chen Hao said vaguely, without rushing to make an offer.

  "Every single one... the ten thousand dan medicine I gave you, isn't for you to waste, don't think that a few hundred is a small number, this is something that even a small family's entire fortune can't afford." Yun Fei Yan said.

  "Six hundred!" Just then, the old man who had started bidding again quoted a price, directly tripling it. With an air of determination to win.

  "Good grief, old man, you really think this is a purple crystal jade? Let me tell you, take this worthless rock home..." Another bidder who had offered two hundred yuan suddenly said in indignation.

  "I have money, I am willing, haha..."

  "Is there anyone else bidding? Mu Lao is an expert in this field, which makes Shuya even more convinced that the raw stone contains amethyst."

  "Shu Ya, isn't that enough? Six hundred already, no matter how good you make it sound, it's just an uncut stone. The original Purple Crystal Jade is something even gods can't see through, it all depends on luck... I'm being so generous just to have fun and gamble on my luck. Even if it really is Purple Crystal Jade, the price won't be much higher than this..." Old Man Mu said suddenly.

  "Mu Lao said it was the first time in 600 years!"

  "Six hundred and one!"

  Just then, Chen Hao knew that if he didn't make a bid, the old man would definitely take it away.

  "Huh?"

  The old wooden man was slightly surprised, what was the young disciple at the noble seat arguing with him about?

  "Six hundred and two!"

  Before Old Man Mu could speak, a sharp and provocative voice came from next door to Chen Huan.

  "What the... have they all gone mad?" Old Man Mu was depressed. He indeed felt that this purple crystal jade rough stone might really have purple crystal jade, otherwise it wouldn't be added to six hundred so neatly. This was his keen intuition after wearing purple crystal jade for many years.

  "Seven hundred!" Old Wu added.

  After a brief silence, Chen Huan saw that the eunuch next door was not making a sound, so he could only bid again.

  "Eight hundred!" The eunuch said again.

  "Haha... interesting, 1,000!" Just then, Chen Hao's right-hand man, Miao Minghao, also bid.

  "Damn it, a group of little lunatics, I'm out of here..." The old man sat down in frustration.

  "Box 6, Da Qian Kingdom disciple, first time in a thousand! Box 7, Zhen Yuan Kingdom, Box 8, Xing Luo Kingdom, don't be outdone... second time in a thousand!"

  The rooster's voice remained silent as ever.

  Chen Hao's expression became somewhat unbearable, and he could only force a smile, saying: "One thousand one!"

  "Junior brother, forget about the sister, this thing was bought to be given to the sister, it's not worth it, let them fight over it, just don't bid again......" Yun Fei Yan had only just come back to her senses when the price had already been driven up by nearly double by Yin Feng Han and Yi Ming Hao on either side, who were clearly targeting Chen Huan. The astute Yun Fei Yan immediately spoke with a deliberate tone. As she spoke, she winked at Chen Huan.

  "Oh... let the two fools fight it out. I won't bid, that's all..." Chen Hao said in a low voice. The two of them were clear that if they spoke too loudly, they would probably be discovered by each other. But intentionally lowering their voices wasn't necessarily so.

  "Room 1101, one time, compartments 6 and 8, quote quickly..."

  "A mere 1200! Just a little more than 1000 dan of medicine, and the Crown Prince doesn't even bat an eye! Haha..."

  The eunuch's ears perked up, but he didn't raise the price again. Although it felt like a scam, what if Chen Huan really didn't come out? He'd be the biggest fool then. But Mi Ming Hao spoke with disdain and arrogance, "No way, they have too many elixirs. It doesn't matter if you're not willing to pay the price or not. This thing is something you like, so if you want it, you'll have to exceed what I'm willing to bear. Otherwise, forget it."

  Upon hearing Ming Hao's words, Yun Fei Yan immediately furrowed her brow, while Chen Huan's eyes flashed with a hint of anger.

  "It's worth bidding, it's worth it, as long as you get it in your hands, it's absolutely worth it!" said Tanba Jianling again.

  "It's not worth it, even if there really is a purple crystal jade, it's hard to reach this value... It's better to just buy a small piece of purple crystal jade directly." Yun Fei Yan said in a gentle voice.

  But Chen Hao shook his head and directly quoted a price when Shuya shouted for the second time: "1,300!"

  "Haha... is it a must-win situation? Interesting, 2,000! Xie Minghao got excited when he saw Chen Hao bidding again, and loudly shouted, directly increasing the bid by 700."

  The entire auction hall was in an uproar... Damn, it's crazy! Two thousand is enough to buy a decent piece of purple crystal jade. This rough stone looks okay, but it's absolutely impossible to be worth this price. This is no longer a bidding war, but a targeted suppression and revenge.
