330: Chapter 330 High Prices and Frenzy, White Snow Cold Spring
"The energy within this ten-thousand-year stone milk is of ten-thousand-year vintage. It is a rare heavenly treasure, possessing pure and gentle energy. Master Gu Ni of our auction house has personally verified it, so everyone may bid with confidence!"
Ya Fei smiled slightly, her gaze suddenly shifting toward the VIP room where Hun Tiandi was located.
She was charming and moving; once she spoke, she instantly ignited the entire venue.
ten-thousand-year stone milk was rare and hard to come by!
"This is actually energy from ten-thousand-year stone milk. Clan Leader, we must secure it all, at any cost. To save Sister Xiao, anyone who dares to bid against us is an enemy of the Xiao Family!"
In Xiao Yingjie's cold tone, there was an unquestionable authority. Beside him, Xiao Lin nodded lightly upon hearing this.
To save his elder sister, he would not hesitate to offend any faction competing for the ten-thousand-year stone milk. The Xiao Family had such confidence; in the Jia Ma Empire, no one dared to offend the Xiao Family.
Hearing Ya Fei's words, the gazes in the venue immediately shifted to the VIP room where Hun Tiandi resided, and gasps of amazement resounded throughout the hall.
Many people had never seen ten-thousand-year stone milk in person.
Now that the Mittel Auction House was actually auctioning this item, even if one lacked the financial resources to buy it, witnessing it with one's own eyes was enough to brag about later.
Not far away, Her Majesty Yao Ye moved her red lips, her fair face filled with a mysterious smile.
Hun Tiandi looked at the venue, his gaze falling upon the VIP room, his expression indifferent, without the slightest indication.
"This woman is quite interesting!" he sighed inwardly.
"The starting bid for the first bottle of ten-thousand-year stone milk is three million!"
On the high platform, Ya Fei smiled, her words like a ninth-rank magical beast opening its mouth, tripling the price of the ten-thousand-year stone milk.
Hiss...
The people in the hall gasped. Upon hearing the price, a faint smile appeared at the corner of Hun Tiandi's mouth, and he shook his head secretly.
The price quoted by Ya Fei caused the venue to fall silent for a moment, but soon, Xiao Yingjie shouted his bid: "Three million five hundred thousand!"
After calling out the price, Xiao Yingjie calmly scanned his surroundings.
These three bottles of ten-thousand-year stone milk energy had to be secured, no matter the cost.
Because Sister Xiao was waiting to be saved!
"Four million!" A cold voice came from Her Majesty Yao Ye's VIP room, resounding throughout the venue.
Snow Charm sneered. This auction would definitely make the Jia Ma Holy City restless; it might as well add more fuel to the fire and let it burn completely.
Creak!
In the Xiao Family's VIP room, Xiao Yingjie's face was cold, his hands clenched so tightly they creaked, his eyes filled with killing intent.
"Yao Ye?" Xiao Lin's expression also turned cold!
"Four million two hundred thousand!" A powerhouse from the Earth Water Pavilion also placed a bid!
"Five million, the Xiao Family wants it!" Xiao Yingjie could no longer hold back, and after placing his bid, he revealed the reputation of the Xiao Family.
Sure enough, once the Xiao Family's name was mentioned, no one else in the venue dared to bid.
Xiao Lin sneered. In the Jia Ma Empire, the Xiao Family was the heavens; who dared to offend them!
Yao Ye's expression also turned cold. This Clan Leader of the Xiao Clan wanted to break the rules, but Yao Ye's long tenure in a high position, wielding power, made her somewhat arrogant.
What rules? Strength was the rule!
"Five million, is there any higher bid?" Ya Fei asked loudly, but no one in the venue made a bid.
"Five million, going once..."
As the small hammer struck for the second time, just as it was about to strike a third time, a cold voice rang out: "Six million!"
Ah...
The venue immediately became noisy. The voice came from Hun Tiandi's VIP room, and the person who made the bid was Yan Xing.
"Bastard, who is so bold as to offend my Xiao Family!"
Xiao Yingjie stood up abruptly from his chair and said coldly.
"Oh? Is the Xiao Family very famous?" Yan Xing sneered, not giving the Xiao Family any face at all.
When the Xiao Family announced their name earlier, Hun Tiandi's expression had turned completely cold, and he had signaled Yan Xing to bid!
"Seven million!" Xiao Yingjie said coldly.
"Ten million! If you want the ten-thousand-year stone milk, bring out real financial power. The Xiao Family's name doesn't work on this old man!"
Yan Xing directly raised it by three million. Such a move completely ignited the entire venue, and all gazes fell upon the VIP room where Hun Tiandi was located!
"Thirteen million!" There was thick murderous intent in Xiao Yingjie's voice.
"You win!" Yan Xing smiled strangely and said.
At this moment, Hun Tiandi signaled Yan Xing not to bid anymore, letting him have this bottle of ten-thousand-year stone milk!
Therefore, Xiao Yingjie successfully auctioned off the first bottle of ten-thousand-year stone milk!
With a good start, the Xiao Family used their financial power of fifteen million and twenty million to take the second and third bottles of ten-thousand-year stone milk into their possession!
It seemed that the earlier proposal to the Mittel Auction House had been quite wise!
Ya Fei could not help but breathe a sigh of relief, thinking to herself: "With such prices, that VIP should be satisfied, right!"
Shaking her head lightly, Ya Fei looked at the venue, which had witnessed a fierce battle of dragons and tigers due to the auction, which could be considered a wonderful performance.
Next, the Mittel Auction House auctioned off some precious medicinal herbs.
The result was no exception; under Yan Xing's immense wealth, nearly fifty million gold coins were all converted into the required resources.
Among these medicinal herbs were those needed for Mei Niang to break the Snake's Seal, and for Qing Yue to refine medicinal pills.
Among them, the most precious was the White Snow Cold Spring!
White Snow Cold Spring was a rare spiritual spring; only in extremely hot or extremely cold places could such a rare treasure be born.
It was one of the main ingredients for refining the Spring Snow Pill, and with his vast financial resources, it fell into his hands without any surprise.
The Spring Snow Pill was a seventh-grade medicinal pill, and only an Alchemist above the seventh grade could successfully refine it.
Every Alchemist was the wealthiest profession on the continent.
Their financial power was extremely vast!
However, when Alchemists reached a certain grade, they rarely auctioned medicinal herbs; at that time, they would choose to barter, exchanging what they needed!
They viewed money as dirt.
"That is correct, Your Majesty. High-grade Alchemists will use cultivation techniques, Dou Techniques, magic cores, and other rare heavenly treasures to exchange for spiritual medicines from other Alchemists!"
Liu Ling said softly. This was also why being a high-grade Alchemist was a popular profession, but the conditions to become an Alchemist were extremely harsh.
Although Hun Tiandi was not a true Alchemist at the moment, he might be able to become one in the future.
With everyone's anticipation, this auction also came to an end!
After the transaction was completed, Hun Tiandi walked slowly out of the auction house, and at this moment, an inquiry came from behind him.
"Sir, please stay!" The person who spoke was none other than Xiao Lin!
He had a smile on his face, and two old men followed behind him, looking like guards.
"Something the matter?" Hun Tiandi said coldly.
"Earlier, I am Xiao Lin. I wonder if you still have any ten-thousand-year stone milk in your possession? I am willing to exchange it with a great sum of money!"
Xiao Lin spoke slowly. For the sake of his elder sister's injuries, as the leader of the Xiao Clan, he had to make the request.
"None left. The ten-thousand-year stone milk was also obtained by chance!"
Hun Tiandi refused, and after speaking, he turned and left, walking toward the small courtyard.
"Hun Tiandi, by refusing the Xiao Family this time, I fear this will not end well!" Mei Niang said suddenly from beside him. Competing for the ten-thousand-year stone milk had already offended the Xiao Family.
If it weren't for the ten-thousand-year stone milk, and the Xiao Family suspecting that he still had stock in hand, they would not have been so easy to talk to!
"No matter. If they dare to come, I shall simply kill them!"
Hun Tiandi said coldly. Everything was within his calculations. Moreover, the Xiao Family would be targeted for now; the inheritances of ancient experts were not easily given up by any party.
