217: Crazy bidding

Qin Tian suppressed the excitement in his heart and stared intently at the Mountain and Rivers State Diagram in the Middle-aged beautiful woman's hand.

The maid behind him saw Qin Tian trembling all over and asked in confusion, "Young Master, what's wrong? Am I not massaging well?"

Gray Wu Chang also noticed Qin Tian's abnormality; he had already guessed that his master must have discovered a treasure.

Qin Tian came back to his senses and smiled, "It's nothing, nothing, keep massaging, you're doing great!"

"Yes, Young Master."

The Middle-aged beautiful woman unrolled the Mountain and Rivers State Diagram, smiled charmingly, and said, "Next, we will bid on today's first item, the mysterious exotic treasure, the mountain and water painting."

"This mountain and water painting, we don't know what kind of treasure it is. It's impervious to water and fire, and invulnerable to swords and spears, but it just can't be refined. After verification by our Tianxia Auction House, this item can at least withstand a full-force attack from a Middle Stage Combination Realm expert."

"The seller of this item has studied it for many years and doesn't know what it is, which is why it's being auctioned at our Tianxia Auction House. If any Seniors bid on this item and discover its secrets, you might be able to obtain an ancient supreme treasure."

"The auction now begins, with a starting price of 1 million High Grade Spirit Crystals, and each bid must not be less than 100,000 High Grade Spirit Crystals."

"Whoosh!"

As soon as the Middle-aged beautiful woman finished speaking, the auction house immediately erupted.

An unknown exotic treasure, even unrefined, could withstand a full-force attack from a Middle Stage Combination Realm expert. What kind of concept was that?

Most of the people present were in the Soul Transformation and Returning Void Realm. If they could obtain such an exotic treasure, even if it couldn't be refined, using it as a defensive Magic Treasure would greatly increase their life-saving ability.

They never expected that the first item up for auction would be such an exotic treasure.

"I bid 1.5 million! This mountain and water painting belongs to my Heavenly Saber Sect!" a burly man with a full beard shouted loudly.

"I bid 1.6 million."

"1.8 million."

The crowd was not to be outdone, bidding one after another, and the price quickly rose to 3 million.

"Young Master, why aren't you bidding yet?" Gray Wu Chang asked in confusion.

"Hehe, let them play for a while first. When they get tired of bidding, Young Master will make the decisive move!" Qin Tian said with a smile.

Soon, Qin Tian noticed something was off. Such a treasure, even unrefined, could withstand such a strong attack. Who would be foolish enough to take it out for auction?

"Could it be a trap?"

"Hahahaha, if it's a trap, that's even better. Perhaps this person has more than one Mountain and Rivers State Diagram!" Qin Tian chuckled inwardly.

Soon, the bidding below had reached 5 million High Grade Spirit Crystals, and at this point, only a few people were still bidding.

One must know that 5 million High Grade Spirit Crystals was a very large sum of wealth. Even the Great Qin Dynasty might not be able to produce so many High Grade Spirit Crystals.

"I bid 6 million."

Everyone looked over upon hearing the voice, only to see it coming from the Sky Number 8 Private Room. However, his voice was transmitted through a Formation, so no one could tell who was bidding.

Qin Tian used his tracking Puppet to sense it and smiled slightly. As expected, it was Luo Wudao bidding.

At this moment, Luo Wudao, inside the private room, was also extremely excited.

He possessed a Sword Immortal Legacy and knew that such a supreme treasure, surpassing a Divine Artifact, could not be refined by ordinary people if they didn't know the method. Perhaps this item was indeed a supreme treasure surpassing a Divine Artifact.

He had just sent an Elder back to the Heavenly Dao Sect to ask his father for Spirit Crystals. He only had 10 million Spirit Crystals with him, which he feared wouldn't be enough, but he was determined to get this exotic treasure.

As soon as the 6 million bid was made, the crowd below immediately quieted down.

"I bid 6.5 million!" the burly man with a full beard from the Heavenly Saber Sect gritted his teeth and said.

"7 million!" Luo Wuhen added another 500,000 without hesitation.

As soon as these words came out, the burly man with a full beard from the Heavenly Saber Sect immediately sighed helplessly. He only had 6.5 million, so he was clearly fated to miss out on this item.

"7 million once, is there anyone else who wants to bid higher!" the Middle-aged beautiful woman asked with a smile.

"Seniors, this is an exotic treasure that can withstand the attacks of a Body Integration Realm expert even without being refined. If you discover its secrets, you might be able to Breakthrough to the Great Emperor Realm and From now on laugh proudly on the Nine Heavens Continent."

The Middle-aged beautiful woman was still unwilling and incited everyone to bid. The higher the price, the greater the profit for their Tianxia Auction House, and the more commission she would get.

But ordinary Sects didn't have so many High Grade Spirit Crystals, unless it was a top Sect like the Heavenly Dao Sect, or the Luoheng Sword Sect and the Demonic Path Sect.

Seeing that no one was bidding, the Middle-aged beautiful woman reluctantly called out, "7 million for the second time."

"Young Master, it's time to bid!" Gray Wu Chang bowed.

Qin Tian smiled slightly and spoke domineeringly, "10 million."

"Whoosh!"

As soon as this price was announced, the crowd below all looked towards the Sky Number Nine Private Room.

Luo Wudao, in the Sky Number Eight Private Room, was originally overjoyed, thinking he could easily obtain this ancient exotic treasure for 7 million High Grade Spirit Crystals.

He didn't expect a sudden roadblock to appear. He immediately gritted his teeth and looked at the Sky Number Nine Private Room, filled with endless killing intent.

The Middle-aged beautiful woman's face immediately broke into a wide smile when she heard the 10 million bid.

"The Senior in Sky Number Nine Private Room has bid 10 million, is there anyone with a higher bid!" the Middle-aged beautiful woman said with a charming smile.

"Young Lord, what should we do? We only have 10 million High Grade Spirit Crystals right now!" an Elder bowed.

"Stall them, and immediately send a message to my father, telling him to send Spirit Crystals as soon as possible."

"Yes!"

Luo Wudao gritted his teeth and roared, "11 million."

"11 million! The Senior in Sky Number Eight Private Room has bid 11 million, is there anyone with a higher bid!" the Middle-aged beautiful woman chuckled, covering her mouth.

She looked expectantly at the Sky Number Nine Private Room, hoping they would bid against each other, the higher the better.

Qin Tian chuckled inwardly. He knew Luo Wudao's every move clearly. He certainly knew that Luo Wudao only had 10 million High Grade Spirit Crystals on him, but he had already sent an Elder back to retrieve more Spirit Crystals.

"Hehe, I'll just toy with you and see what happens to you, this Child of Destiny, when you can't pay later!" Qin Tian chuckled inwardly.

"15 million!" Qin Tian bid again.

"Whoosh!"

As soon as this price was announced, everyone looked at the Sky Number Nine Private Room in shock.

The Middle-aged beautiful woman was even more ecstatic.

"Bang!"

Luo Wudao slammed the table, shattering it, and roared, "Investigate for me, investigate who is in the Sky Number Nine Private Room! Don't let him escape later, I will tear him into a thousand pieces!"

"Yes!"

"16 million!" Luo Wudao gritted his teeth.

"16 million! Is there any Senior who wants to bid higher!" The Middle-aged beautiful woman was beaming with joy at this moment. She didn't expect these two to really go at it.

Qin Tian smiled slightly at the Formation screen and said, "Oh dear, I only have 15.99 million on me. It seems this item is not fated for me, so I'll let Dao Brother have it."

As soon as these words came out, everyone immediately understood that the person in the Sky Number Eight Private Room had been played by this person, and they all looked at the Sky Number Eight Private Room with strange gazes.

"Bastard!" Luo Wudao roared.

"Young Lord, we've been played!" an Elder frowned.

"Get out! All of you get out! Go and investigate for me! I want to know the background of this beast! I want to exterminate his nine clans!" Luo Wudao roared.

The Middle-aged beautiful woman's face immediately darkened when she heard that the Sky Number Nine Private Room was no longer bidding.

However, being able to go from 7 million to 16 million, she also received a large commission, which was satisfying enough.

Out of auction house rules, she still politely asked, "The Senior in Sky Number Eight Private Room has bid 16 million, is there anyone with a higher bid?"

After a moment, no one bid.

She shook her head in disappointment, "16 million once."

"16 million twice."

"Sold for 16 million! Congratulations to the Senior in Sky Number Eight Private Room for acquiring the ancient exotic treasure."

Soon, a Grey-haired Old Man walked towards the Sky Number Eight Private Room.

As soon as the Grey-haired Old Man entered, he slightly cupped his hands and smiled at Luo Wudao, "So it's Young Lord Luo of the Luoheng Sword Sect, my apologies for not recognizing you sooner."

"This old man is an Elder of the Tianxia Auction House. After Young Lord Luo pays the Spirit Crystals, we will immediately send the auctioned item over."

Luo Wudao looked at the Sky Number Nine Private Room with gritted teeth. He could have obtained this exotic treasure for 7 million, but now he had no Spirit Crystals to pay. If this got out, would he dare to show his face in public again?

"Young Master, you clearly liked this mountain and water painting very much, why did you give it to someone else? Are your Spirit Crystals not enough? This old servant still has 5 million Spirit Crystals, which I can give to Young Master!" Gray Wu Chang bowed.

Qin Tian smiled slightly, "Don't worry, this mountain and water painting is Young Master's, they will send it over soon."

He was looking forward to the scene of the Child of Destiny having no money to pay, but this was only the first step. The real fun was still ten days later. He wanted to make the Child of Destiny collapse step by step, hehehe.
