22: The whole audience was stunned~
A clamor broke out—
It exploded!
As Chen Qingfeng announced the price of five hundred thousand Spirit Stones, the entire auction hall instantly erupted into a commotion.
Everyone looked at Chen Qingfeng in the corner with expressions of disbelief, their Faces filled with unprecedented shock.
"Five hundred thousand?"
"This guy actually bid five hundred thousand?"
"Is he trying to slap Lu Shaojie's Face?"
"Lu Shaojie just said his main advantage was having a lot of Spirit Stones!"
A heated discussion spread throughout the large auction hall.
They were shocked by Chen Qingfeng's generosity, and even more shocked that he dared to challenge Lu Shaojie in public.
"He already paid three hundred thousand, does he still have five hundred thousand Spirit Stones?"
Su Meier was also stunned.
She could imagine Chen Qingfeng was rich, but she didn't expect him to be this rich.
Three hundred thousand before.
Five hundred thousand now.
That adds up to eight hundred thousand!
A full eight hundred thousand Spirit Stones!
Looking across the entire Tianyi Sect, even among the managing Elders, not many could produce such an amount.
"What is this kid's background?"
"How can a Qi Refinement Stage Disciple hold so many Spirit Stones?"
Yin Rushuang and Tong Shuyao were also dumbfounded.
Both of them were Disciples of Shuangshen Peak.
Shuangshen Peak mainly consisted of female cultivators.
The liuli flower and spirit-suppressing ganoderma were items personally chosen by their Master, Luo Hongchen, meaning they were there to bid on behalf of their Master.
And who was Luo Hongchen?
One of the five beauties of the Tianyi Sect!
The Peak Master of Shuangshen Peak!
Before leaving, she had given them a total of five hundred thousand Spirit Stones, thinking it would be more than enough to acquire both the liuli flower and the spirit-suppressing ganoderma.
But unexpectedly,
The intensity of the bidding far exceeded their imagination.
"Kid, what do you mean? Are you deliberately trying to embarrass me?"
Lu Shaojie was somewhat displeased.
Damn it!
He bid three hundred thousand Spirit Stones, thinking it was enough to show off.
He never expected that
the real show-off was still to come, directly bidding five hundred thousand Spirit Stones.
Moreover,
he was just a Qi Refinement Stage Disciple.
Did he not hear of his reputation?
He dared to outbid him?
"If you have money, keep bidding. If not, shut up!"
Chen Qingfeng showed no Face at all; his arrogance was even more rampant than Lu Shaojie's.
His main advantage was having a lot of Spirit Stones?
Comparing who had more Spirit Stones with him?
He must be crazy.
Let them see what it truly means to be rich!
"Young Master Lu, he's mocking you..."
Qi Chunshan, sitting beside Lu Shaojie, couldn't help but frown and say.
"I f*cking heard it!"
"So, are you going to keep bidding?"
Lu Shaojie fell silent.
Keep bidding?
It was already five hundred thousand.
Even if he was the profligate second generation of Eight Treasures Peak, he couldn't withstand such a drain.
"Elder, I suspect this kid is making random bids. He already paid three hundred thousand Spirit Stones, and now he's shouting out an exorbitant price of five hundred thousand. Which Disciple of the Tianyi Sect can take out eight hundred thousand Spirit Stones in one go, especially since he's only a Qi Refinement Stage Disciple!"
"I suggest we check his Spirit Stones to prevent him from disrupting the normal progress of the auction, which could ultimately lead to a re-auction!"
Gritting his teeth,
Lu Shaojie stood up directly and spoke to the attending Elder in the center.
Although,
he could, with a fierce resolve, take out five hundred thousand Spirit Stones.
But if it was all used to bid on the liuli flower, then the spirit-suppressing ganoderma would be troublesome.
The only way
was to kick Chen Qingfeng out.
If he wasn't involved, he was quite confident he could acquire both medicinal ingredients.
"Is this the famous rich young Master of Eight Treasures Peak? I thought he was so rich, but he's scared by five hundred thousand Spirit Stones? Is that all?"
"Watch closely, these are five hundred thousand Spirit Stones!!!"
Saying that,
Chen Qingfeng flicked his arm, throwing out another Storage Pouch with ten times the space, which landed in the hands of the attending Elder.
After a Divine Sense inspection,
there were exactly five hundred thousand Spirit Stones, if not more.
Now it was the turn of everyone present to be dumbfounded.
Awesome!
Eight hundred thousand Spirit Stones.
He didn't even blink.
He gave it just like that.
Does his family have a Spirit Stone mine?
"Hehe—"
"After inspection, there are exactly five hundred thousand Spirit Stones, if not more, in this Storage Pouch, which complies with the auction process!"
"May I ask, is anyone still bidding?"
The attending Elder asked publicly.
As soon as these words came out,
the entire scene instantly became silent.
Even Lu Shaojie, who had been the most boisterous, immediately lost his temper.
What the hell!
What's his background?
Have the Disciples of the Tianyi Sect become so wealthy now?
Logically speaking, he knew all the talented and well-connected young generation throughout the Tianyi Sect.
When did a new person emerge?
Moreover, not only was he rich, but he was also more arrogant than him.
He really deserved to die!
"Since no one is bidding anymore, then congratulations to this junior Disciple for successfully acquiring the fourth item of this round, the liuli flower, with five hundred thousand Spirit Stones!!!"
"Next, we will proceed with the bidding for the fifth item!"
"A twelve-hundred-year-old spirit-suppressing ganoderma!"
"This item sows seeds every hundred years, breaks through the soil after a hundred years, and then takes another hundred years to form, usable for various purposes."
"Its starting price is: fifty thousand Spirit Stones!"
With this announcement from the attending Elder,
the Disciples present even felt that the starting price was a bit low.
Because after Chen Qingfeng's several rounds of bidding just now, they all felt that Spirit Stones were no longer Spirit Stones.
A mere fifty thousand Spirit Stones?
Never mind if I can even take out two hundred Spirit Stones.
But for fifty thousand Spirit Stones, I can only say, who the hell are you looking down on?
"Sixty thousand Spirit Stones!"
Soon,
the fifth round of bidding instantly began.
Having lost the bid for the liuli flower, many people present placed their last hope on the auction of the spirit-suppressing ganoderma.
Damn it.
That kid already spent eight hundred thousand Spirit Stones.
Surely he's out of money now, right?
If he still wanted to compete with them, they would be ready to kill.
"I bid seventy thousand Spirit Stones!"
"I bid eighty thousand!"
"I bid ninety thousand!"
"One hundred thousand!"
"I bid one hundred and eleven thousand!"
"One hundred and fifty thousand!"
"One hundred and eighty thousand!"
"Then I bid two hundred thousand!"
In an instant,
the bidding price for the spirit-suppressing ganoderma quickly reached two hundred thousand.
Su Meier hadn't started yet.
Lu Shaojie was also waiting.
Yin Rushuang and Tong Shuyao were also eager to make a move.
Although the liuli flower and spirit-suppressing ganoderma were a pair of bound items, essential to unleash their full medicinal properties, one without the other would not suffice.
But getting one was better than none.
Moreover,
compared to the rarity of the liuli flower, finding a spirit-suppressing ganoderma was even more difficult.
Therefore,
for this round of bidding for the spirit-suppressing ganoderma, all of them were determined to win!
"Two hundred and eleven thousand Spirit Stones!"
"Two hundred and twenty thousand!"
"Two hundred and twenty-three thousand!"
"Two hundred and fifty thousand!"
"Two hundred and eighty thousand!"
"Three hundred thousand!!!"
"A flat price, four hundred thousand!!!"
Finally,
Lu Shaojie, unable to hold back, made his first bid of four hundred thousand!
