114: Chapter 114 Confrontation

Chapter 114: Tit for Tat

As the first item was successfully auctioned, everyone's interest was instantly piqued.

For them, the more mysterious the auction, the closer the items being auctioned were to what they desired.

Qin Wu, standing in the center of the auction house, said, "Alright, next up is our second item, the Po Sha Puppet. The starting price is 50 billion Low-Grade Spirit Stones, with each bid not less than 1 billion. Fellow Daoists who are interested, you may bid now."

At this moment, Jia Zhengyu immediately raised his token and said, "I bid 50 billion."

Qin Wu smiled and said, "Number 15 bids 50 billion. Is there anyone else who wants to bid?"

However, after waiting for a while, no one called out a price.

Jia Zhengyu prayed inwardly, "Please, no one bid! No one bid! Let me pick up a bargain."

Indeed, the people present seemed to have no interest in this Po Sha Puppet. Then, Qin Wu smiled and said, "Alright, congratulations to Number 15 for winning the Po Sha Puppet with a price of 50 billion Low-Grade Spirit Stones. Please prepare 50 billion Spirit Stones."

Before Qin Wu could finish speaking, a greatly excited Jia Zhengyu pulled out 50 billion Low-Grade Spirit Stones. Although he didn't know why such a good item had no one competing with him, as long as he got it, his goal would be achieved. This was a Half-step Human Immortal Realm Puppet; it was something you couldn't buy outside.

Then, a golden light emanated from the token in Jia Zhengyu's hand, and the 50 billion Spirit Stones were absorbed by the token. The Po Sha Puppet also appeared beside Jia Zhengyu.

Jia Zhengyu quickly put the Po Sha Puppet into his Storage Ring, his body trembling involuntarily.

"Finally, I got it! I finally got it!"

However, he scanned his surroundings but didn't find Xie Chengjun's shadow, which made him a little confused.

"Why didn't Xie Chengjun of the Xie family come? Could it be that he doesn't think much of this auction? Or did he sell his token to the person in front?"

"Haha, Xie Chengjun, fortunately you sold your token, otherwise I would have one more opponent. To thank you, I will definitely bid for that Heaven and Earth Infinite Skill, haha."

On the other hand, most of the other people at the scene were closing their eyes and resting, seemingly not caring about the current auction items.

But then again, with Duan De reselling the emperor decree like that, very few remained in Wind and Thunder Prefecture. Most were obtained by major forces in Shuo Province. And how could such major forces care about a mere Half-step Human Immortal Puppet? Even a Peak Heavenly Immortal demon spirit immortal puppet might not catch their eye.

At this moment, Qin Wu in the center of the auction house revealed a smile, seemingly not disappointed that no one was bidding for the Po Sha Puppet, and then said, "Alright, without further ado, let's start with our third item, the 13th-grade Peak Earth-element Cultivation Technique, Heaven and Earth Infinite Skill. The starting price is 60 billion Low-Grade Spirit Stones, with each bid not less than 2 billion Low-Grade Spirit Stones. Fellow Daoists who need it, you may bid now."

As soon as Qin Wu finished speaking, Jia Zhengyu called out, "I bid 60 billion Low-Grade Spirit Stones."

"Alright, Number 15 bids 60 billion."

Then, bids started coming in one after another from the audience. After all, a Cultivation Technique that could be Cultivated to Peak Heavenly Immortal, while not much in the eyes of major forces, was still very good for ordinary forces.

"Number 135 bids 62 billion."

"Number 212 bids 64 billion."

.........

"Number 315 bids 92 billion."

At this moment, Jia Zhengyu was hesitating whether to continue bidding. After all, the price had already reached a high of 92 billion, which was his limit of what he could afford, because he had only brought 150 billion for this auction, which was considered most of the Jia family's wealth.

"Forget it, I'll take a gamble. If it still doesn't work, then so be it." Jia Zhengyu thought to himself, "I bid 100 billion."

He instantly raised the price by 8 billion, directly pushing the price to 100 billion. If anyone else raised the price, Jia Zhengyu would no longer bid.

"Alright, Number 15 bids 100 billion. Is there anyone else bidding?"

The scene instantly fell silent.

"Alright, congratulations to Number 15 for winning the Heaven and Earth Infinite Skill at a price of 100 billion."

Hearing Qin Wu's words, Jia Zhengyu felt that what he heard at this moment was the most beautiful sound in the world; he had actually succeeded.

As long as he bid for this item, he would then sell it to the Xie family for 150 billion Low-Grade Spirit Stones. He didn't believe the Xie family wouldn't buy it, haha.

Then, after some operations, this 13th-grade Peak Earth-element Cultivation Technique, Heaven and Earth Infinite Skill, was obtained by Jia Zhengyu, and the 150 billion Low-Grade Spirit Stones he had prepared were completely spent.

He looked at his gains for the day with satisfaction and smiled.

"Alright, next up is the next item, the Peak Heavenly Immortal demon spirit immortal puppet. The starting price is 400 billion, with each bid not less than 10 billion Spirit Stones."

At this moment, Gongsun Mingyue said, "Grandpa, why don't we bid for this Puppet? That way we'll have more security. With Wanmo Palace and Tiangang Sect involved in the later items, it will be difficult for us to get our hands on them."

Gongsun Jue said, "No, I must have the Life Divine Spring. Moreover, this demon spirit immortal puppet is originally an item of Wanmo Palace. They might have used some means on this Puppet, and then tracking us will become even easier."

At this moment, Duan De, sitting in the first row, finally bid, "I bid 410 billion Low-Grade Spirit Stones."

At this moment, Yin Jiuhua, the Saint of Wanmo Palace, coldly looked at the demon spirit immortal puppet. He didn't know why his own item appeared at this auction, but Wanmo Palace's item would absolutely not be allowed to be taken by others.

At this moment, Demon Progenitor Lin Yuan said coldly, "This is my Wanmo Palace's Puppet. How can it fall into the hands of others? Bid this Puppet back, and after the auction ends, we'll settle accounts with them."

Yin Jiuji nodded, then said, "I bid 600 billion."

Instantly, the entire auction house quieted down. Wanmo Palace directly bid 600 billion, completely suppressing them. Then, no one started bidding.

Jia Zhengyu gasped. Is this the financial power of a major force? A single bid is 600 billion, completely incomparable.

At this moment, Ye Chen finally remembered where he had seen this Puppet. Wasn't this one of Yin Jiuhua's most treasured items when he was young? Ye Chen had suffered no small losses because of this Puppet.

Ye Chen sneered, then raised the token in his hand and said, "I bid 700 billion."

"Alright, Number 211 bids 700 billion. Is there a higher bid?"

Yin Jiuhua's face was gloomy at this moment, and then he said coldly, "Ye Chen, you are looking for death."

Ye Chen said coldly, "Everyone relies on their own abilities. If you have the ability, then bid higher! I am also very interested in your Wanmo Palace's Puppet."
