327: Two billion!
"Thirty-five million, I'll take it!"
"Fifty million, I'll take it too!"
"..."
Next, Lin Yang made one move after another, primarily displaying his immense wealth, which left many guests present in a state of shock.
Even Ouyang Quan, the person in charge of the auction house who was controlling the overall situation from behind the scenes, couldn't help but frown.
"Can this guy really afford to pay later..."
Ouyang Quan was also a bit skeptical in his heart. Although he had previously promised to give Lin Yang some discounts, the total value of the treasures Lin Yang had bid for had already reached a quite staggering figure.
If not for the fact that Lin Yang held the war king token, he really would have wanted to order someone to check if Lin Yang truly possessed that many assets.
"The next item, the King-Breaking Profound Pill. After a Quasi-King consumes it, it can increase the probability of a Breakthrough to the Immortal King Realm by one ten-thousandth! The starting price is ten million dao coins!"
The old man on the stage brought out another heavyweight item, an extraordinary Spirit Pill that could increase the probability of breaking through to the King Realm.
Of course, the conditions for using this pill were extremely harsh; it only worked for Quasi-King experts who were infinitely close to that Realm.
Moreover, it could only increase the chance by one ten-thousandth!
But do not underestimate this one ten-thousandth increase because of that.
Only those who are truly close to that Realm would know how difficult it is to achieve this one ten-thousandth increase.
Many times, success might truly be just one ten-thousandth away.
"Twenty million!"
As the old man's voice fell, a low voice came from a spot below the stage.
It was High Immortal Red Crow who spoke. He had been in the Quasi-King Realm for an unknown amount of time, and this King-Breaking Profound Pill was one of his goals for this auction.
"Thirty million!"
But immediately following that, a raspy old man's voice also came from a dark corner.
That was also a Quasi-King who had come here to compete with High Immortal Red Crow.
"Forty million!"
"Fifty million!"
"Seventy million!"
"Ninety million!"
For that one ten-thousandth chance, the two refused to yield to each other, quickly pushing the price up to one hundred million.
That scene of intense competition was even more soul-stirring than the previous bidding between Lin Yang and Great Immortal Green Tiger.
After all, right now, it was two Quasi-Kings competing against each other.
The net worth of a Quasi-King was naturally and undoubtedly abundant.
"One hundred and fifty million!"
"One hundred and eighty million!"
The momentum continued unabated, and there were even faint flashes of fire and thunder in the air, caused by the collision of the two Quasi-Kings' Qi.
Fortunately, the moment the two Quasi-Kings' Qi leaked out, a terrifying aura also appeared from deep within the auction house, suppressing their restless Qi.
Many guests present were as quiet as cicadas in winter under the pressure of the two Quasi-Kings.
Even those with some capital dared not speak up randomly to compete with the two Quasi-Kings at this moment.
Thus, for a while, in the vast auction hall, amidst a blanket of silence, only the voices of High Immortal Red Crow and that Immortal King in the corner could be heard rising and falling slowly.
"Three hundred and ten million!"
"Three hundred and forty million!"
Before long, this pill that could increase the Breakthrough probability by one ten-thousandth was bid up to the astronomical price of three hundred million by the two Quasi-Kings!
"Fellow Daoist Fu Zhu, you are but a Loose Cultivator. Even as a Quasi-King, how much capital can you have to compete with me?"
Just as the price continued to climb, High Immortal Red Crow suddenly spoke indifferently to the Quasi-King in the corner.
"So it's High Immortal Fu Zhu!"
Hearing this, many guests present showed a look of realization.
"It's a pity High Immortal Fu Zhu is just a Loose Cultivator. His net worth probably can't compare to High Immortal Red Crow, the leader of the Seven Immortals."
Some people shook their heads, clearly having some knowledge of High Immortal Fu Zhu. Although the latter was powerful, his net worth was not abundant, far from matching the deep pockets of the Seven Immortals.
And the voice in the corner indeed fell into a moment of silence after hearing High Immortal Red Crow's words.
But immediately after, he continued: "Three hundred and seventy million!"
Looking at the situation, he clearly had no intention of giving up easily.
"Hehe..."
Seeing this, High Immortal Red Crow also gave a cold laugh: "I reckon the wealth on Fellow Daoist's person currently does not exceed five hundred million dao coins. Since that's the case, I won't bother wasting any more words with Fellow Daoist Fu Zhu. I bid five hundred million!"
In an instant, High Immortal Red Crow directly raised the price of the King-Breaking Profound Pill by more than one hundred million.
Facing the aggressive High Immortal Red Crow, High Immortal Fu Zhu in the corner remained silent for a long time.
Finally, people seemed to hear a helpless sigh from the corner.
"Good, High Immortal Red Crow bids five hundred million. Is there anyone higher?"
Seeing this, the old man on the stage also knew that High Immortal Fu Zhu probably couldn't offer a higher price, so he immediately began to ask the others below the stage as a formality.
"Five hundred million once!"
"Five hundred million twice!"
Just as the old man was about to announce that the King-Breaking Profound Pill had been won by High Immortal Red Crow, suddenly, a leisurely voice came from the upper-level VIP seats in the back.
"Five hundred million... and one hundred."
Everyone turned to look, only to see a handsome young man holding a cup of fragrant tea, leaning against the wooden railing, smilingly looking towards the direction of the Seven Immortals not far away.
Seeing that it was Lin Yang who spoke, smiles couldn't help but appear on the faces of many guests.
Because previously, when Lin Yang bid multiple times, the Seven Immortals had intentionally jumped out to raise the price, causing the former to pay a lot more.
Now, High Immortal Red Crow, the leader of the Seven Immortals, had just outbid another Quasi-King expert. At the critical moment when he was about to take the item, Lin Yang suddenly jumped out to raise the price, and only by a mere one hundred.
Such behavior in the eyes of everyone was undoubtedly a deliberate retaliation for the Seven Immortals' previous actions.
High Immortal Red Crow obviously thought of this as well, but since it was "returning the favor," he couldn't say much. He just indifferently continued to raise the price: "Five hundred and ten million!"
Lin Yang: "Five hundred and ten million... and one hundred!"
High Immortal Red Crow gave Lin Yang a cold look: "Five hundred and twenty million!"
Lin Yang: "Five hundred and twenty million... and one hundred!"
"Pfft..."
Seeing Lin Yang's provocative continuous price increases, a cheerful atmosphere couldn't help but emerge within the auction house.
One must know that such a scene where someone intentionally made a Quasi-King expert suffer was a rare occurrence in a hundred years. Now that they were lucky enough to encounter it, many people naturally couldn't help but laugh out loud.
But High Immortal Red Crow's mood at this moment was clearly not very pleasant. The look he gave Lin Yang was chillingly terrifying.
"Five hundred and fifty million!"
High Immortal Red Crow spoke again, raising the price by thirty million all at once.
"Five hundred and fifty million... and one coin!" Lin Yang followed the bid.
"Six hundred million!"
His action of adding only one coin probably infuriated High Immortal Red Crow completely. After High Immortal Red Crow finished bidding, he stared at Lin Yang with a gloomy gaze.
"Kid, don't push your luck!"
At this moment, High Immortal Red Crow wished he could tear Lin Yang apart with his bare hands, because the latter was still a hundred and eight thousand miles away from the Quasi-King Realm; he wouldn't be able to use this pill even if he bought it.
This move was clearly a deliberate attempt to go against him.
"Wow, six hundred million? This amount must not be a small sum even for a Quasi-King expert like Senior Red Crow, right?"
Lin Yang raised his eyebrows with a half-smile, then put down the tea cup in his hand, took a step forward, stood by the high railing, and held up two fingers in a condescending manner.
"Two billion!"
