Chapter 73: Astronomical amount (1)
Still, Tang Yin could not simply play a joke on this person.
He might as well make her get something unnecessarily for a high price if he were in another situation, but in this situation, such a thing is not possible.
This is a spiritual herb that he needs urgently, so it must be he who obtains it. If he lets her buy it, it will be very difficult to get it back.
So, he could not afford to lose it.
'Hmph, you're playing with fire.' Tang Yin thought angrily, but of course, he could only raise the price.
"1.5 million."
"1.6 million."
"1.8 million."
"1.9 million."
Tang Yin frowned a little once he got here, but still, he raised the price again.
"2 million."
It was at this moment that Wang Yuwen stopped.
"Hehe, it seems that Young Master really is rich. Buying such spiritual herbs for 2 million spiritual gold coins, you really have my admiration. I dare not give more, so this will be yours." Wang Yuwen said with a smile.
Although, she was actually sweating profusely at the thought of the possibility that Tang Yin had stopped when was at 1.9 million.
Under no circumstances did she want to pay almost 2 million coins for these herbs, even if she needed them.
Two million was a great amount even for her family, and her family would not cover it. Besides, they knew which force put these spiritual herbs for sale, with such an exalted status, they could not offend them so easily. That was why she did not dare to raise the price any higher from there.
If Tang Yin chose not to raise it any further...
They would have to shell out too large an amount of money.
But on Tang Yin's part, he was not very happy despite having obtained the herb he needed.
'In the end, it's my fault for expressing that I wanted these spiritual herbs so badly. But well, if they take advantage of my mistake, there's nothing I can do. What's said, done is done and I can't change that fact. 2 million isn't too much money either, I can still fight for that beast's heart.' Tang Yin thought helplessly.
Thus, the auction continued. During that time, the auction people came and handed Tang Yin's payment for the things that were sold earlier and also gave him the two pairs of herbs he had just bought.
They were not happy at all because of the way they behaved, but Tang Yin did not mind.
He simply put his herbs away very well and focused on the auction.
Of the remaining five items, the next item to be sold was an external sword-type earth-grade spirit weapon.
The price of this was absurd, so much so that it shocked Tang Yin.
Five million spiritual gold coins for a mere earth-grade sword!
Shit, it wasn't even too surprising, how could it cost so much? Those were Tang Yin's thoughts.
In fact, if he looked at that sword and measured it against the shitty weapons the system had given him, he could see that the chicken was better by a bit. Although the pigeon it was not, he found no use for it. The pigeon was a total piece of shit.
But the chicken could still be found useful, because it's fire, it would serve a lot.
'Shit, even that chicken is better than such a thing, how can it cost 5 million spiritual gold coins? Could it be that that sword has something special that I can't see?' Tang Yin thought in shock.
Still, after thinking several things about it, he focused on watching the auction and stopped paying attention to unnecessary things.
The next 'item' that came up for auction was the purchase of a spiritual beast tens of thousands of years old for spiritual bone. Such things were also sold in these places when the beasts were very special, hard to hunt, or hard to find.
Such a thing was also sold for a high price, although it had the lowest price among the objects that had been sold.
Then, the next thing that was sold was a force in the city of the Desert King.
Basically, it is like the selling of a property/organization of cultivators. It had a numerous number of cultivators of different ranks.
The price of such a force would normally be very high, but for various reasons having to do with the owner and the enemy of such a force, it was only sold for 6 million spiritual gold coins.
That is a high price, but it could very well sell for double or triple that or even more.
Something Tang Yin did not know.
And he didn't care either.
Once the auction got this far, it had Tang Yin's attention again.
"Gentlemen, due to the time, we are going to remove the object from stall 1, to sell it in this second stall.
Don't think it is because it is worse, it is much better than the one that will be sold later, I simply see that many of you must already be leaving, so, in order to hasten the sale of this object which is the one that has attracted so much attention, we chose to sell it directly." Said the auctioneer, and immediately one of the two remaining people with objects came forward, and the red blanket was thrown to the floor.
Thus, a book of cultivation technique came into view.
"As you were all informed previously, this is a King Grade cultivation technique. We do not know its provenance, but it was possibly found in some ruins. I won't say more because you all already know the information of what it does, you were informed beforehand.
Because it is a cultivation technique with a limit of usage and you only have four of them left probably, the starting price of this cultivation technique is 5 million spiritual gold coins, please get started." Said the auctioneer and stepped aside.
The bidding did not start immediately because everyone was astonished.
Certainly, they already knew because they had been informed.
But this is the first time they have seen a king-grade cultivation technique in front of them.
What kind of cultivation technique are they witnessing?
One that only the First Level Empires and the Great Sects are said to have.
An authentic cultivation technique of an extremely high rank, which has never appeared here before.
Everyone here would choose to sell all their properties just to have access to such a cultivation technique.
It doesn't matter if it was just a technique that will disappear with four more uses, it's still a very high-ranked cultivation technique!
They would kill for it!
That was why after the initial astonishment, the auction started with a great roar....
"7 MILLION!"
"8 MILLION!"
"10 MILLION!"
"11 MILLION!"
"12 MILLION!"
From one side to the other voices could be heard as everyone shouted their prices to try to overshadow the voice of the one next to them.
From the people in the regular bleachers to the VIP members, the vast majority of them were shouting their prices.
This time they didn't care whether they offended anyone or not, if they managed to get their hands on that cultivation technique...
No one else in this desert could think of surpassing them.
Even the Desert King himself will have to bow down to them.
But, when the price was going for 15 million, a soft and icy voice came from one of the VIP rooms.
A VIP room that had not previously participated in the entire auction...
"30 million."
