34: Chapter 34 The entire audience was shocked: I'll bid 10 billion!

Lin Yi turned to look at Grand Elder Wang Hong beside him and asked indifferently.

"Elder, did you bring Spirit Stones?"

Wang Hong was slightly startled, somewhat puzzled by the Saint's intention.

But he still respectfully replied:

"Before we departed, the Holy Lord and Peak Master Luo both instructed.

All resources you, the Saint, require in the outside world, the Holy Land will fully provide!"

"I have brought eighty million High-Grade Spirit Stones, for any unexpected needs!"

Eighty million High-Grade Spirit Stones!

This immense sum was enough to buy more than half of the treasures in the auction house.

Hearing this number, the little fatty Xu Chen's eyes next to him went wide.

However, Lin Yi's expression remained calm.

He nodded, as if it were an insignificant number.

"It's enough."

With that, Lin Yi turned his head, his gaze once again falling on the auction stage.

At this moment, Meiniang's auction hammer was already raised high, about to fall.

"Wait."

A calm and indifferent, yet penetrating voice, leisurely drifted out from Heaven No. 1 Private Room.

The voice wasn't loud, but it was like a clap of thunder, booming through the noisy auction hall.

Tens of thousands of gazes in the entire venue simultaneously turned towards Heaven No. 1 Private Room.

Meiniang's hand, holding the auction hammer, froze in mid-air.

Ye Chen's smug smile instantly solidified on his face.

An ominous premonition surged wildly from the bottom of his heart.

Under the watchful eyes of all.

Lin Yi's voice rang out again, clearly reaching everyone's ears.

"For that pile of stones, I bid..."

He deliberately paused, seemingly in thought.

Below, Ye Chen's heart was in his throat, and his fists subconsciously clenched.

"How much will he bid?"

"One hundred thousand Low-Grade Spirit Stones?"

"Or two hundred thousand?"

"No matter how much, I'll add more!"

"This Double Pupil Origin, I must have it!"

However, Lin Yi's next three words struck him like lightning, his mind instantly going blank.

"One million."

One million?

Hearing this number, everyone was first stunned, then many faces showed mocking smiles.

"Who is it, I wonder? So it's the Holy Son of Tianxuan!"

"Bidding one million right away, truly wealthy and powerful!"

"However, one million Low-Grade Spirit Stones is only ten thousand Medium-Grade Spirit Stones.

With so few Spirit Stones, you want to snatch something from Ye Chen? I'm afraid it's not enough, is it?"

Ye Chen also breathed a sigh of relief, a sneer reappearing on his face.

One million Low-Grade Spirit Stones, and he wants to snatch his Opportunity?

Ridiculous!

He was about to open his mouth to raise the price, to completely push the price up and make Lin Yi retreat in the face of difficulty.

But the latter half of Lin Yi's sentence struck him like a ten-thousand-pound hammer, heavily smashing onto his crown.

And it also struck the hearts of everyone in the entire venue.

"One million... High-Grade Spirit Stones!"

Boom!

As these words came out.

The entire venue fell silent!

An unprecedented silence.

If the previous quiet was due to surprise and mockery.

Then the current silence stemmed from a shock deep within their Souls!

Inside and outside the entire auction hall, tens of thousands of Cultivators, along with the important figures in those private rooms.

Everyone at this moment, widened their eyes and opened their mouths.

As if enchanted, their gazes were fixed on the direction of Heaven No. 1 Private Room.

"High... High-Grade Spirit Stones?"

"I... I didn't mishear, did I? It's one million... High-Grade Spirit Stones?"

A Prodigy from a Long-Life Family, his voice trembled beyond recognition.

Another Genius beside him nodded mechanically and said:

"One million High-Grade Spirit Stones..."

"That's one hundred million Medium-Grade Spirit Stones... ten billion Low-Grade Spirit Stones?"

Hiss!

When this number was converted.

The entire venue immediately resounded with gasps of cold air.

He's crazy!

This Holy Son of Tianxuan is absolutely insane!

Spending ten billion Low-Grade Spirit Stones to buy a pile of waste stones that even the appraisers couldn't identify?

What kind of prodigal behavior is this!

Even if your Heavenly Profound Holy Land has vast wealth, you can't squander it like this!

Inside the private room.

The little fatty Xu Chen was completely dumbfounded.

With his mouth agape, wide enough to fit a fist, he stared blankly at Lin Yi.

Even Su Yuxi, on her exquisitely beautiful face, was filled with astonishment.

She knew Lin Yi wouldn't do anything meaningless.

But this action was truly beyond her imagination.

She knew Ye Chen's background was extraordinary, having achieved Major Achievement of the Ancient Desolate Holy Body in his previous life.

If Lin Yi opposed him, he would definitely not have a good outcome.

You, Lin Yi, what exactly do you want to do?!

Su Yuxi's small head couldn't figure it out.

In another private room.

Chu Wanqing had directly stood up from her seat.

Her bright beautiful eyes were filled with curiosity and astonishment!

She had just missed out on the phoenix blood grass she desperately needed because of a lack of Spirit Stones.

But in the blink of an eye.

This young man.

Used one million High-Grade Spirit Stones to buy a pile of broken stones that seemed worthless to her?

He... what exactly does he want to do?

How can he do this?

An intense curiosity and confusion instantly filled her heart.

And at this moment, the most violent reaction in the entire venue came from Ye Chen.

"Ugh!"

Ye Chen gritted his molars, preventing the surging Qi and blood from gushing out.

The smile on his face had long vanished, his eyes were bloodshot, staring fixedly at the private room where Lin Yi was.

His eyes were filled with monstrous hatred and disbelief.

"Impossible! This is absolutely impossible!"

Ye Chen roared frantically in his heart.

"How could he know?"

"How could he be willing to spend ten billion Spirit Stones to buy this pile of waste stones?"

"Unless... unless he knew the secret of that stone from the very beginning!"

The dagger is revealed when the map is unrolled!

Only at this moment did Ye Chen awaken as if struck by lightning.

It turns out.

Lin Yi had been targeting him from the very beginning!

His true purpose was to snatch his Opportunity!

A bone-chilling coldness rushed from the soles of his feet straight to his crown.

At this moment, Ye Chen felt like a clown.

All his cleverness had become a huge joke in front of the other party.

On the auction stage, Chief Auctioneer Meiniang's alluring face was also filled with stupefaction.

She had been in the business for hundreds of years, presiding over countless auctions, big and small.

But she had never seen such an outrageous scene.

She took a deep breath, forcing herself to calm down, and asked with a slight tremor in her voice.

"Distinguished guest from Heaven No. 1 Private Room.

Are you sure you are bidding one million... High-Grade Spirit Stones?"

Lin Yi's calm voice came again, without a trace of ripple.

"Is there a problem?"

"No... no!"

Meiniang's delicate body trembled, and she quickly said.

She no longer dared to question anything, and shouted at the fastest speed.

"The Holy Son of Tianxuan bids one million High-Grade Spirit Stones! Is there any higher bid?"

"One million High-Grade Spirit Stones, once!"

"One million High-Grade Spirit Stones, twice!"

The entire venue was silent.

What kind of joke is this?

Who would pay a higher price than this for a pile of waste stones?

Ye Chen's teeth were grinding audibly.

His fingernails were deeply embedded in his palm, blood flowing freely, yet he was unaware.

Raise the bid?

What would he use to raise it?

One million High-Grade Spirit Stones.

Even if he sold his last possession, he might not be able to gather this huge sum!

"One million High-Grade Spirit Stones, thrice!"

"Clang!"

The auction hammer fell heavily, sealing the deal!

"Sold!"

"Congratulations to the Holy Son of Tianxuan for winning this cart of... Ancient Exotic Stones!"
