“This pot of Seven Star Flower was discovered by someone from our auction house on a cliff in a very small village in the southern part of the Hidden World. Later, we engaged a professional alchemist, and with great care, transplanted it out. After nurturing it for a while to ensure it wouldn’t wither, we decided to auction it. I believe everyone is already aware of the rarity and preciousness of this Seven Star Flower. So, without further ado, let’s begin the auction! The starting price is thirty million Spirit Coins, and each increment must be no less than a hundred thousand Spirit Coins.”
Ye Leng’an crossed her arms in front of her chest and said with enthusiasm, “l didn’t expect to encounter the Seven Star Flower here again. However, the starting price is indeed much lower than in the mortal world!”
“Interested?” Huangfu Ruiling naturally remembered that Ye Lengan already had one but still asked, “If you are interested, go ahead and bid.”
After a moment’s thought, Ye Lengan nodded. “Alright, it’s a good thing to have one more. Let’s bid for it!”
The auction quickly commenced. Similar to previous auctions, Ye Lengan refrained from immediate participation, choosing to wait until it was almost time to initiate her bidding. It was futile to bid too early and wasted breath.
On the other side, Ye Wanwan was delighted upon seeing the Seven Star Flower. “Father, there’s actually a Seven Star Flower here. Should we place a bid?”
While the family also cultivated the Seven Star Flower, the quantity was minimal. Given the plant’s inability to propagate by cutting branches and its high cultivation difficulty, even with many skilled planters in their family, mass reproduction was challenging. Therefore, seeing the Seven Star Flower, she naturally wished to acquire it.
“Place a bid!” Ye Hongxuan nodded. “This spiritual plant holds significant value; our clan needs it too.’
Although the family already possessed one, such a rare and challenging-to-cultivate spiritual plant remained highly desirable. Moreover, the decision to auction the Seven Star Flower as the grand finale emphasized its preciousness.
Soon, the auction reached its peak, and the Seven Star Flowers price had surged to 300 million Spirit Coins, ten times the starting bid. Witnessing the continued bidding, it was evident that the fervor would persist.
Finally, when the price reached 490 million Spirit Coins, Ye Wanwan eagerly joined the bidding. “500 million Spirit Coins.”
Observing Ye Wanwan initiating the bid, some participants ceased their efforts. They naturally desired the Seven Star Flower but acknowledged their inability to compete with the Ye family. Still, a few were reluctant to give up and continued bidding.
Perceiving this situation, Ye Wanwan felt victory was within reach. However, just as she savored her triumph, a familiar voice disrupted her delight.
“753 million Spirit Coins,” Ye Lengan casually raised her hand and declared.
Appearing nonchalant and lacking seriousness, it was challenging to discern whether she genuinely desired to secure the Seven Star Flower.
Upon hearing Ye Leng’an’s voice, Ye Wanwan was irritated to the core.
During the Shennong Cauldron bidding, Ye Lengan had already contended with the Ye family. Though they later conceded, allowing Ye Lengan to obtain the cauldron, now she was once again vying for the Seven Star Flower. What were her intentions?
Ye Wanwan seethed with anger. She raised her hand once more and proclaimed, “800 million Spirit Coins.”
This sudden increase in price stirred commotion in the venue. None had anticipated such generosity from the Ye family’s young lady, instantly raising the bid by 100 million. Truly, she was affluent and assertive!
However, some astute observers detected subtle clues, their eyes clandestinely shifting between Ye Lengan and Ye Wanwan, attempting to discern any animosity between the two.
Ye Hongxuan, standing on the sidelines, couldn’t help but frown at Ye Wanwan’s seemingly impulsive behavior. He cautioned, “Wanwan, you’re too hasty.”
“Father, we’ve already lost the Shennong Cauldron. We can’t afford to lose the Seven Star Flower as well,” Ye Wanwan argued. “Moreover, Ye Lengan is challenging us again. This time, we can’t lose to her. Otherwise, outsiders will mock the Ye family. Even if we secure the Seven Star Flower for 800 million, it’s still well worth it for us..
