Swordsman the Wanderer
Ch. 411 - Auction III
"Zhang En.....?! How could this Zhang En have so much money? Did the Spirit Fire Sect Master come to compete for the mere beast core just to let his disciple bid so without thinking.?”.
"Indeed, Sect Master Lin Ming's wealth could drown someone to death!"
The crowd below responded with doubt and astonishment.
Hearing the passing words among the crowd below, a wry smile appeared on Zhang En's face as Lie Hue joked to Zhang En, "No one seems to believe that Big Brother Zhang has so much money...."
Whereas in private room number 9, Ming Zhi's facial muscles twitched slightly. His hands involuntarily clenched as the killing intent in his heart roared like a huge wave.
“Young Master, I already know who the person in room 5 is. That person was the disciple of the Spirit Fire Sect Master, Zhang En.” At this time, the old man who had gone to ask who was in VIP room number 5 had just returned, reporting to Ming Zhi.
Ming Zhi's tone of voice was grim as she replied, "I know." The excited discussion below had already entered his ears, "Do I still need you to report to me ?!"
His heart was burning, his anger almost seemed to be on the verge of going berserk and wanting to rage.
"Twenty-one billion!" Ming Zhi actually gritted her teeth making her offer. He was determined to obtain this beast core. Otherwise, all the effort and time he spent to gather over hundreds of different herbal tamers over tens of thousands of years would be in vain.
The auction hall that was in a frenzy became silent once again.
Seeing that the other party had decided to follow up on his offer, Zhang En turned to Lie Hue and said, "Haihhh... They only added a billion, these people from the Heavenly Dragon Sect were apparently very stingy." Zhang En deliberately did not hide his voice, therefore, everyone in the auction hall and private room clearly heard what he said.
One could imagine the myriad expressions of the people around hearing this. Those words almost made Ming Zhi vomit blood.
"30 billion." Just as Ming Zhi was actually about to vomit blood, Zhang En's unhurried voice came back, as if what he said in his offer was just buying stalk candy.
The people in the auction hall could hear their hearts beating like war drums in their ears. An elder who had heart disease instantly fainted on the spot, clutching his chest.
A strange atmosphere filled the auction hall....
The expression on Ming Zhi's face was extremely ugly, the fury exploding in his eyes was similar to a savage beast that was about to go berserk.
“Zh-ang E-n..” Every word came out with a lot of difficulty from his mouth. The temperature in private room number 9 dropped dramatically.
"Young Master, should we forget to daoize those two star cores?" One of the old men behind him tried to persuade him.
"How much more money do we have?" Ming Zhi asked after taking a deep breath. He had two purposes for attending this auction of ours, one of which was to obtain the dragon beast core and the other was none other than to obtain a saint grade spirit stone.
Ming Zhi's face was instantly extremely gloomy. Coming to Spirit City this time, they had brought over fifty billion with them. Originally, before they set off, he had assumed that fifty billion was more than enough to complete his two goals, obtaining the dragon beast core as well as the saint grade spirit stones. However, he did not expect to experience this situation.
He was thinking whether Zhang En was doing this intentionally, or just because his brain was damaged from crashing into a beam that willingly took out 30 billion to buy the dragon king beast core.
"Private room number 5 has bid 30 billion, is there anyone else who wants to offer a higher price?" The voice of the auctioneer sounded in the auction hall.
Doubt flashed across Ming Zhi's face. He did not want to retreat, yet he could only give up in the end. Finally, Zhang En obtained both beast cores.
Witnessing this, the people in the auction hall were still trying to recover from their sight of the 30-figure sum at the auction this time, only shaking their heads and sighing.
The few Elders and Ancestors of the clan that were in the hall found it hard to understand why Zhang En spent that much money to purchase a beast core that was worth at most no more than two billion.
“Is Master Lin Ming crazy? Or was this student crazy? Even if he wanted to upset the people from the Heavenly Dragon Sect, there was no need to waste that much money!” Some experts were clamoring through clenched teeth.
Furthermore, a few more items were auctioned back.
Although the bidding war was just as fierce, none of the items managed to obtain the unimaginable price that Zhang En and Ming Zhi had made.
“Next, we will auction off a special item at the auction this time, holy grade spirit stones.” Towards the end of the event, the auctioneer raised his voice, leaving him thunderous throughout the auction hall.
The auctioneer's announcement elicited a huge reaction from the crowd below, everyone looked like they had been injected, their eyes widened and their breathing became heavy.
The first spirit stone to be auctioned back in the last tens of thousands of years.
When the spokesperson of the Fire Spirit Auction House brought the holy-tier spirit stone with both hands onto the auction stage, everyone seated in the hall stood up, stuck out their necks and opened their eyes wide as they stared unshakably at the small piece of stone.
Inside each room of the VIP room, Ming Zhi and the others also stood up with hot gazes in their eyes.
'I must obtain this holy grade spirit stone, Harusss!' Ming Zhi swore to himself.
Under the many hot gazes, the auction house appraiser finally went up on the stage, stood in the middle and explained the use and results of the appraisal to everyone present.
When the appraiser was done, the auctioneer scanned the room with a smile on his face, “I believe everyone already knew that this piece of holy grade spirit stone was priceless, difficult to measure with money. With the consent of the owner, we will not set an initial price for this holy grade spirit stone. Everyone present here can freely offer a price. Offer starts now.”
