162: Big spenders vs. suckers

At this moment, a voice transmission suddenly entered You Lin's ears. It turned out to be a warning from Ming Xuan: "You Lin, you have to take it easy!"

"His Majesty has already given instructions to harvest the leeks sustainably, so don't go too far!"

"Alright, Sister Xuan."

"Hmm! It is good that you have a plan in mind. Those large families and conglomerates may not all be like Lilith, having high standards but low abilities, and being extremely foolish."

...

As time passed, the items to be auctioned subsequently would undoubtedly become increasingly precious and tempting.

Therefore, the atmosphere of the first round of bidding was relatively not that intense; instead, it felt like a prolonged tug-of-war that was slow to decide a winner.

After a long and deadlocked struggle, this mid-grade magic tool finally fell into the hands of Master Chan Ming for the astonishing price of 3.12 million incense offerings.

Witnessing this result, Dao Ke was uncontrollably excited. One had to know, it was truly not easy for the very first magic tool to sell for such a high price.

Moreover, there were still many magic tools of the same level waiting to be unveiled.

He secretly rejoiced in his heart: "Haha, this time I have really made a fortune! My commission will definitely keep rising!"

Following that, the several auction items that appeared were all magic tools possessing various spiritual energy attributes.

Each magic tool was elegantly held by a beautiful female ghost messenger, who slowly circled the venue several times so that everyone present could more clearly observe its details and unique features.

At the same time, You Pan and Dao Ke pulled out all the stops, pushing their eloquence to the limit, endlessly and vividly introducing the wondrous aspects of each magic tool to the crowd.

'They' were passionate and eloquent, with spittle flying in the air—even the air seemed to burn because of their enthusiasm.

Under such a heated atmosphere, the competition throughout the auction venue became increasingly intense.

Although the quality of these magic tools being auctioned was roughly the same, their bidding prices soared like rockets, advancing triumphantly all the way.

One must know, no matter how many incense offerings one had, it was simply impossible to purchase fine products from the Underworld in the outside world.

[Once encountering a thorny issue, one could at worst shamelessly beg the ghost messengers for help. Therefore, those figures who spent money like water on the Underworld's Yin Street could naturally be called genuine "Big Dogs."]

The auction was in full swing, and as the bidding prices continued to rise, the smile on You Pan's face became increasingly radiant.

One had to admit that his mouth was truly formidable. It was as if he could describe an ordinary, featureless magic tool as a rare treasure with immense buffing effects.

Meanwhile, the VIP rooms on the top floor remained quiet, looking as if they were equally anxious, waiting for the next round of even more stunning auction items to appear.

Time slowly passed amidst people's anxious waiting, and before long, all the auction items in the magic tool category had been successfully sold.

Despite this, the atmosphere throughout the auction venue did not relax in the slightest; instead, it became increasingly heavy and tense.

Everyone could not suppress their inner anticipation, eagerly wanting to witness what kind of jaw-dropping and wonderful auction items would be presented next.

Even those VIPs on the top floor finally stopped being silent at this moment and began to have some subtle movements.

"Hahaha, with the last initial auction item successfully sold, this initial auction has come to a successful conclusion!"

You Pan held the auction hammer: "I presume that after experiencing such intense and nervous bidding, everyone is more or less a bit exhausted, right? However, don't be in a hurry to relax, because there are even more wonderful auction items waiting for everyone next!"

"What is placed before us right now are several bottles of Tier 3 Beauty Pills! These pills come from the hand of Lady Meng Jiang, and their refinement is so exquisite and their effects so miraculous that they can be called rare in this world!"

"Whether you want to enjoy them yourself to let yourself radiate a charming glow, or gift them to a loved one to express deep affection, they are an excellent choice!"

"So now, let us officially begin the bidding journey for these Tier 3 Beauty Pills! The minimum bid for this auction is 300,000 incense offerings. Please bid enthusiastically; after all, such rare Beauty Pills are absolutely worth the price!"

"Who will eventually become the lucky winner and successfully take these Beauty Pills into their pocket? Let us wait and see!"

Just hearing a loud shout: "500,000!" instantly ignited the enthusiasm of the whole venue.

Immediately following, another voice rang out: "600,000!" The price climbed step by step.

Not long after, someone else shouted: "700,000!"

The atmosphere had already reached a climax~

Bidding voices rose one after another, and the price soared all the way.

"3 million incense offerings!" Accompanied by this sudden loud shout.

The originally noisy and clamorous venue instantly became silent.

Everyone was stunned by this astonishing bid because, compared to before, this price was simply growing exponentially.

Everyone cast their gazes toward the direction the voice came from and discovered that 'it' actually came from the No. 1 VIP box.

One had to know, the amount of 3 million incense offerings far exceeded the value that those few bottles of Beauty Pills should have had.

After a brief shock, many cultivators only sighed inwardly at the wealth and arrogance of this bidder, but no one else had the courage and financial resources to continue following the bid and adding to the price.

Seeing Dao Ke standing on the auction stage with a smile, he gently tapped the auction hammer in his hand.

'He' said with a face full of smiles to everyone in the entire auction venue: "Oh my! It is truly unexpected; who could have imagined that mere Tier 3 Beauty Pills could actually be auctioned for such a jaw-dropping high price?"

"I think if Lady Meng Jiang knew about this, she would definitely feel incomparably happy. So now, congratulations to the gentleman in our No. 1 VIP box for successfully winning these Beauty Pills!"

"What are you doing? That's such a waste of money!" The person speaking was none other than Lilith, who was currently pouting, her face full of complaints.

You Lin, sitting beside her, reached out and stroked Lilith's golden hair, smiling affectionately as he said: "As long as I can make my baby happy, let alone this small amount of money, even if I spent much more, what would it matter?"

"You only know how to say sweet things." Hearing You Lin's words, Lilith punched his chest, an uncontrollable smile rising on her pretty face.

"Come here, let me give you a kiss!"

"You're so annoying, Darling!"

[Wait! Why do I remember that in the end, it seems~ like it's going to swipe my card!]

[Forget it, forget it, the thing the family lacks least is money.]

...

Dao Ke smilingly announced: "Next, we will welcome the highlight of this auction!"

The whole venue suddenly quieted down, with gazes focused on the stage.
