120: The old cripple's scheme
"Three hundred thirty million top-grade divine source."
"Three hundred forty million top-grade divine source."
"Three hundred eighty million top-grade divine source."
"..."
"Five hundred million top-grade divine source."
The price steadily climbed to a height that astonished everyone.
This made the Hall Master of the Pill God Hall secretly rejoice.
If the star bottle hadn't been placed in the first auction, and if it had been auctioned later, even if it couldn't compare to the other items, the final transaction price would have been far more than thirty million top-grade divine source.
This was truly a bargain for him!
However, after the bid reached five hundred million top-grade divine source, the number of bids significantly decreased.
The Great Elder of the Tyrant Blade Holy Land decisively chose this moment to intervene.
He simply spoke directly.
"Six hundred million top-grade divine source."
The voice of the Great Elder of the Tyrant Blade Holy Land was quickly recognized by everyone.
"The Hegemon Blade Holy Land can't sit still now."
"It seems that the Sky-Slaying Saber Saint's injuries in the Hegemon Blade Holy Land cannot be healed even by life divine liquid."
Everyone present was an old fox and quickly analyzed the predicament of the one from the Hegemon Blade Holy Land.
However, at a price of six hundred million top-grade divine source, even Sacred Land Lineages found it difficult to cope.
For example, the Holy Masters of the Life and Death Imperial Dynasty and the Yin Yang Holy Land did not intend to continue bidding.
But there was someone who didn't plan to let the Hegemon Blade Holy Land off the hook.
Confucian Sword Venerable's lips curved into an enigmatic smile.
Although his Heavenly Sword Holy Land had produced an unparalleled Prodigy with the Azure Sky Sword Body, they didn't necessarily have to win the heaven and earth creation pill.
However, it was the Hegemon Blade Holy Land that made the bid!
If he didn't add a little trouble, he wouldn't be worthy of the ancestors of the Heavenly Sword Holy Land.
However, just as Confucian Sword Venerable was about to speak, someone preempted him.
"Six hundred one million top-grade divine source."
This voice made Confucian Sword Venerable feel somewhat familiar.
Immediately after, as if he had thought of something, Confucian Sword Venerable muttered with some confusion.
"It's that old fellow from the previous round. Could it be that he has a grudge against the Hegemon Blade Holy Land?"
However, whether or not the two had a grudge, Confucian Sword Venerable understood that there was a good show to watch this round.
And at this moment, the Grand Elder of the Hegemon Blade Holy Land's Face darkened. Clearly, he also recognized that the speaker was the mysterious person who had maliciously inflated the price in the previous round.
"Six hundred ten million top-grade divine source."
The Grand Elder of the Hegemon Blade Holy Land spoke with a hint of hope.
"Six hundred eleven million top-grade divine source."
Soon, that familiar voice directly shattered the Grand Elder of the Hegemon Blade Holy Land's illusions.
At this moment, the Grand Elder of the Hegemon Blade Holy Land suddenly felt that there truly existed something more detestable than those old immortals from the Heavenly Sword Holy Land.
At this moment, though he had neither heard his name nor seen his Face, the Grand Elder of the Hegemon Blade Holy Land wished he could tear open the barrier and directly strike down with a saber.
"Six hundred twelve million top-grade divine source."
The Grand Elder of the Hegemon Blade Holy Land simply chose to give up.
Don't you love to cause trouble?
Fine.
No one will have an easy time; now let's see whose patience is better!
In another private room.
Old Cripple raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised.
"There are actually such shameless people in this world."
"Don't those Sacred Land Lineages care about Face?"
Completely, Old Cripple had entirely forgotten who had first opened his mouth.
But he knew that at this moment, he absolutely could not show any flaws. To compete with a Sacred Land Lineages in terms of foundation, he wasn't sure he could win.
Now was the time to compete in patience!
"Six hundred thirteen million top-grade divine source."
"Six hundred fourteen million top-grade divine source."
"Six hundred fifteen million top-grade divine source."
"Six hundred sixteen million top-grade divine source!"
"..."
At this moment, the two seemed to be at odds, bidding back and forth.
Seeing this scene, the other forces had no intention of intervening. They all picked up melon seeds, sipped spiritual tea, and began to watch the show.
"Eight hundred million top-grade divine source!"
Finally, the Grand Elder of the Hegemon Blade Holy Land couldn't bear it anymore. Bloodshot eyes were clearly visible, and a crisp grinding sound came from his gums. At this moment, he was almost so angry he could vomit blood.
For a moment, he even suspected that this person was purely here to cause trouble.
However, this time, no sound came for a long while.
"Eight hundred million top-grade divine source, going once."
"Eight hundred million top-grade divine source, going twice."
Just when everyone thought this heaven and earth creation pill belonged to the Hegemon Blade Holy Land.
Just when the Grand Elder of the Hegemon Blade Holy Land thought victory was in his grasp and showed a relaxed smile.
Just as the third auction hammer was about to fall.
That voice sounded again.
"Eight hundred one million top-grade divine source."
This sound, like a thunderbolt, directly broke through the Grand Elder of the Hegemon Blade Holy Land's psychological defense.
"One billion top-grade divine source!"
"Old fellow, if you bid again, I would rather withdraw from this item."
"You should think carefully. One billion top-grade divine source is not a small sum. If you can't produce it, you should also be clear about the consequences."
This time, the Grand Elder of the Hegemon Blade Holy Land spoke almost threateningly. Clearly, his patience had been completely worn away.
In another private room.
Upon hearing this, Old Cripple rejoiced inwardly.
He knew that the Grand Elder of the Hegemon Blade Holy Land had broken down.
However, he also knew that he absolutely could not show any joy at this moment, otherwise, it would again be a fierce Dragon-Tiger struggle.
If a Sacred Land Lineages were to humble itself and borrow some divine source from other forces, few forces would refuse.
"One billion one million top-grade divine source."
"Heh, do you think I'll still be intimidated?"
Old Cripple suppressed the ecstasy in his heart and spoke contemptuously.
Hearing this, the Grand Elder of the Hegemon Blade Holy Land's Face completely darkened.
"No wonder the Heaven and Earth Auction House was willing to bring out such a divine item for auction."
"So there was a shill."
"I'm not bidding anymore! I want to see how you'll resolve this!"
At this moment, the Grand Elder of the Hegemon Blade Holy Land seemed to understand everything.
It was normal for an auction house to have shills, and he could understand that.
However, to have made it so clear and still toy with him like this, it was simply treating his Hegemon Blade Holy Land as fools.
He even suspected that the forces behind the Heaven and Earth Auction House had thoroughly investigated what items they lacked, and this auction was a trap specifically aimed at them!
At the same time.
The Grand Elder of the Hegemon Blade Holy Land also felt that after he had not bid for a long time, the aura in the distance was somewhat chaotic, seemingly a little panicked. This made the Grand Elder of the Hegemon Blade Holy Land even more certain that his guess was correct.
"Hmph, such a large auction house still uses shills. It really is a low-class move."
"No wonder the underworld is a bunch of rats, always hiding behind masks, not daring to show their true Faces."
The Grand Elder of the Hegemon Blade Holy Land muttered disdainfully.
"Dong."
"One billion one million top-grade divine source, going once."
Everyone looked towards the direction of the Hegemon Blade Holy Land.
"Dong."
"One billion one million top-grade divine source, going twice."
The Grand Elder of the Hegemon Blade Holy Land remained unmoved, calmly sipping his spiritual tea.
"Dong."
"One billion one million top-grade divine source, going thrice."
"Congratulations to the distinguished guest in private room number 18."
