Tang San also has his own ideas

In just a quarter of an hour, the price of these three drops of Three Lights Divine Water soared from two hundred million to five hundred million.

And the momentum showed no signs of slowing down.

While Immortal Stones were of negligible use to Cultivators above the Taiyi True Immortal realm, they were an indispensable form of wealth for the development of Sect forces.

When accumulated in large quantities, they were equally precious.

Ten million High Grade Immortal Stones, if used on a Cultivator with decent talent, would certainly allow them to achieve the Golden Immortal realm, not to mention the Taiyi realm.

Each bid was equivalent to throwing away resources capable of cultivating a Golden Immortal.

This showed the extent of the madness.

Not everyone was like Xiao Fan, possessing a vast amount of wealth; even major powers couldn't compare.

"Five hundred twenty million High Grade Immortal Stones."

"Five hundred thirty million High Grade Immortal Stones."

...

One after another, astonishing astronomical figures continuously impacted the minds of those present; the struggle for the Three Lights Divine Water was too insane.

Insane? In fact, it wasn't insane at all.

Just based on the Three Lights Divine Water's ability to save people from the brink of death, it was worth this price.

This was a guarantee of life; the longer one lived, the more one feared death.

Liu Chen knew the competition would be fierce, and he was mentally prepared.

"As long as it doesn't exceed eight hundred million, then I can compete for it."

Of course, Liu Chen, who was familiar with auction tactics, did not bid immediately; showing too much eagerness would only cause others to raise the price and make him spend more unnecessarily.

Although Liu Chen remained silent, Tang San had been observing him.

"Could the information be false?"

"No, even if it's false, I must keep an eye on you at all times. Better to kill by mistake than to let one slip away."

As the price climbed, fewer and fewer people were bidding.

Especially when the price of the Three Lights Divine Water surpassed the six hundred million High Grade Immortal Stones mark, only a handful of families in the entire venue continued to bid.

At this moment, Liu Chen, who had been silent, finally spoke. He calmly called out a price.

"Seven hundred million High Grade Immortal Stones."

He didn't add ten million at a time, but directly added one hundred million.

To deter everyone!

"Holy cow, is he that rich? He directly jumped from six hundred million to seven hundred million."

"Damn it, I didn't prepare that many Immortal Stones."

"Don't say that. It's not impossible for you to go back and get them now, but is it worth it? Will the people behind you support it?"

"Right, although the Three Lights Divine Water is good, taking out seven hundred million High Grade Immortal Stones at once is no small pressure."

Liu Chen's move had a miraculous effect; as soon as he called it out, it scared off the remaining few families.

No one dared to compete with him anymore.

In an instant, the entire venue fell silent, as if the ownership of the Three Lights Divine Water had already been determined.

"Congratulations, Fellow Daoist Liu, on acquiring the Three Lights Divine Water," Song Quan Jia said.

"Just luck."

Although he said that, Liu Chen's heart was blooming with joy.

After obtaining these three drops of Divine Water, he would use one to treat his injuries.

The remaining two drops would be sent back to Bi Ru, and in return, she would call him 'Liu Chen Gege' twice.

Thinking of this, he felt that everything was worth it.

One could only say that people's thought processes were different.

The Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion Master was quite satisfied; a price of seven hundred million High Grade Immortal Stones was reasonable.

"Is there anyone else bidding?"

"If not, I'll start the countdown."

"Seven hundred million High Grade Immortal Stones, once."

...

Tang San, who had been lurking in the shadows, finally revealed his fangs.

"Indeed, your silence was only to conceal your true intentions."

"A single decisive strike is your goal."

At this moment, Tang San already believed eighty percent of the content written on the Jade Slip.

He immediately shouted, "Seven hundred ten million High Grade Immortal Stones!"

"I bid seven hundred ten million!"

As soon as these words came out, Liu Chen's grinning mouth froze, speechless for a long time.

Why didn't he smile? Was it because he didn't like to smile?

Whether Liu Chen liked to smile or not was unknown, but the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion Master was beaming with joy.

"Seven hundred ten million, a Fellow Daoist has bid seven hundred ten million."

Listening to these words, Liu Chen felt like killing someone.

This familiar voice, he knew it was Tang San, whom he had just targeted.

Liu Chen's eyes narrowed slightly, and he cursed, "Damn Tang San, playing me, are you?"

Liu Chen's heart hardened, and he directly shouted, "Eight hundred million High Grade Immortal Stones!"

He wanted to defeat Tang San in one fell swoop, making Tang San dare not bid again.

Anyone with a discerning eye could see that these two people were the ones who had been raising the price against each other, clearly rivals.

Next, Tang San gave a true performance, displaying his pure technique as a cannon fodder villain.

Tang San was heard shouting, "Eight hundred ten million High Grade Immortal Stones!"

This wasn't over; Tang San directly stood up, flew out of the private room, and yelled menacingly towards the Song Family's private room, "You dog, my nephew is on his last breath, still hanging between life and death! I must have this Three Lights Divine Water!"

"You raise the price, you keep raising it! Just wait, I'll kill you when we get out!"

"Come on, if you have the guts, let's go head-to-head!"

He yelled extremely arrogantly, his usual profligate nature fully revealed, his face filled with anger, as if someone owed him eight hundred million.

Seeing this, the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion Master immediately said, "Fellow Daoist, calm down. My Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion is not for you to fight here."

"Also, you can only bid here, not threaten others."

Tang San was just putting on a show; his injuries hadn't healed, so how could he casually make a move?

With the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion Master's persuasion, he obediently went back, though with displeasure on his face.

"Damn it!"

Liu Chen's eyes narrowed, his chest rising and falling, clearly very angry.

"The Cultivation Technique I put up for auction has a starting price of three hundred million High Grade Immortal Stones. Based on its rarity, these people would at most bid up to nine hundred million, and that's under ideal conditions."

"After the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion deducts some auction commission, I'll only get about eight hundred million. If I continue to bid, I won't have enough Immortal Stones," Liu Chen pondered in his heart.

Seeing Liu Chen in a difficult position, Song Quan Jia said, "Fellow Daoist Liu, the Heart Sutra you gave me is invaluable. How about this, I'll give you three hundred million to help you out of this urgent situation."

Liu Chen refused. He said, "It's too expensive, not worth buying."

"Wasting this money is unnecessary. I guess we just annoyed him, and now that he sees I want the Three Lights Divine Water, he wants to annoy us."

"Look at his powerless rage just now; it's clear he really needs this item. Maybe his nephew is really dying."

Liu Chen said indifferently.

Although he only casually pushed at the time, fearing to make a sound, his strength was that of a Taiyi True Immortal, while Tang Xiao San was only a Profound Immortal.

He couldn't withstand a single blow from him; even a casual wave of his hand could severely injure Tang Xiao San.

Therefore, he agreed with the statement about him being on his last breath and his fate uncertain.

"You want to save him? I won't let you save him! I want you to know the price of annoying me!" Liu Chen also responded impolitely, shouting it out loud.

A remote conversation, responding to Tang San's previous provocation.

Liu Chen felt that the other party had already lost his mind, so he would add more fuel to the fire, making him completely lose his sanity.

Then, he would ruthlessly extort him, making him bleed profusely.

Liu Chen nonchalantly shouted, "I bid nine hundred million High Grade Immortal Stones!"

As he shouted this, he was also constantly observing Tang San's reaction.

If Tang San hesitated for half a second, it would mean he hadn't lost his mind and only wanted to trick him, in which case he would directly stop and not bid again.

Would Tang San hesitate?

Of course not. He believed the other party's psychological expectation was one billion.

So he shouted without hesitation, "Nine hundred ten million High Grade Immortal Stones!"

"You motherf*cker, are you going against me?! When has my Tang Family ever suffered such an insult? Just wait until we get out, you just wait, I will kill you!"

"Young Master, no!"

"This isn't worth it! We definitely have other ways to save Young Master, please don't be impulsive!"

From within the private room, the voices of two Tang Family Elders could be heard, as if they were trying to dissuade him.

Slap! A crisp slap echoed. An Elder was directly slapped flying out of the private room.

Two front teeth, stained with blood, flew out.

Tang San shouted, "Get out! Those who block me die!"

The entire venue was silent.

Has he gone mad?

The other side just bid nine hundred million, and before he even finished speaking, you immediately bid nine hundred ten million.

Not only that, he even resorted to violence.

He's mad, he must be mad!

Tang San's powerless rage made everyone in the venue think he was insane.

Liu Chen also thought so.

To further enrage the other party, he also said:

"Heh, I want to see how much strength you have today. Do you think I'm not targeting you? Well, you guessed right, I was indeed targeting you just now."

"Kid, I bid one billion High Grade Immortal Stones. I want to see how many millions of Immortal Stones your nephew's little life is worth."

Liu Chen was even more direct this time, shouting in a mocking tone, "One billion High Grade Immortal Stones!"

Silence filled the entire auction house. The Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion Master was stunned, unable to utter a single word.

A windfall from heaven!

Is there such a good thing?

One second...

Two seconds...

Three seconds...

It was still so silent. Liu Chen was still mocking Tang San in his heart.

"Your back molars must be ground to dust, right?"

But soon, he realized something was wrong.

Why was there no sound?

Tang San changed his expression, his tightly furrowed brows slowly relaxed.

He then started to cackle, laughing very lewdly.

"Hehehehe..."

"Hehehehe..."

"Good, this Three Lights Divine Water is yours. I just remembered incorrectly; my nephew only suffered severe injuries, and the precious medicines at home are enough to save his life."

"I surrender, I won't compete with you anymore."

Everyone was dumbfounded. What was going on?

You mean everything just now was an act?

Tang San laughed extremely perversely, his cackling echoing throughout the auction hall, all the accumulated frustration in his heart pouring out.

"That felt good!"

Tang San laughed.

"I only lost one hundred fifty million in our argument, but you directly lost three hundred million. A huge profit, a huge profit!"

"Seeing you lose money makes me happier than making money."

Tang San shouted, "Pavilion Master, what are you still staring at? Hurry up and confirm!"

The Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion Master snapped out of his surprise and happily shouted, "Is there anyone else bidding?"

No one would bid at all; he was just going through the motions.

Then he confirmed Liu Chen's joyous acquisition of the item.

No one expected that Tang San, in order to act against his rival, would even hit his own Elder; he even used a self-inflicted injury ploy. What deep schemes!

Xiao Fan was also amused.

You are the most intelligent cannon fodder villain I have ever seen.

You put on a good show!

The audience watching the show was happy, the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion Master at the auction was happy, and Tang San's faction was also happy.

Only in Song Quan Jia's private room, Liu Chen's hands were tightly clenched into fists, his fingernails digging into his palms. His face was ashen, filled with rage.

I've always been the one to trick others; no one has ever tricked me!

Especially the cheerful atmosphere outside, which further highlighted him as a clown.

"I'll endure!"

"You just wait."
