Bai Yao’s actions undoubtedly caused Qin Wentian to lose all face.
Jiang Yuncheng even laughed uproariously, and he was just short of going up to Qin Wentian’s private room to mock him.
2,810,000 primeval stones was something that even Qin Wentian couldn’t afford, let alone the others.
Even if Fang Yuan borrowed Li Tongzhou’s 800,000, he wouldn’t be able to afford it.
In the end, Bai Yao bought the best Gu worm in the auction so far.
“A loss of over a million.”
Fang Yuan couldn’t help but shake his head when he saw this scene.
After all, the True Heart Gu was only a support type Gu worm, and it didn’t have much of an increase in strength. If it was sold outside, the market price wouldn’t exceed 1.6 million.
Bai Yao was willing to pay such a huge price, but no one knew why.
After all, she was from the Gu Demon Sect, so Fang Yuan still kept an eye out, but did not pay too much attention to it.
He could only be wary of this kind of development. He could not guess the outcome.
After the Gold quality Gu worm was successfully auctioned, a person came from behind the scenes, holding an item covered in black cloth.
“This is the final treasure of this auction. It is not a Gu worm, nor is it a precious Gu refinement material. Even experienced appraisers were unable to confirm its use.” The female host slowly introduced.
These words undoubtedly aroused the curiosity of everyone present.
In the private room, regardless of whether there were people who had bid before, they all stood at the window to look.
The female Gu master smiled lightly, her fingers holding a corner of the black cloth as she slowly pulled it.
A pulsating black and purple aura appeared before everyone’s eyes.
As the black cloth was pulled open, the entire appearance of the thing was revealed.
It was a token that was sealed by a special crystal barrier. It looked extremely simple and unadorned, and a black and purple aura was flowing out from it. It was very strange.
“This should be the item that Master talked about.”
Fang Yuan seemed to have inadvertently exchanged glances with Zhao Hede in the VIP room, confirming that this was their target.
Next, it was time to bid for it.
“3 million!” Before the host Gu master could even announce the starting price, Jiang Yuncheng had already shouted out with narrowed eyes.
Qin Wentian didn’t give in. “5 million!”
Several VIP rooms also started to bid.
“5.2 million!”
“5.4 million!”
“5.6 million!”
“5.8 million.” Zhao Hede also joined in the crowd.
Jiang Yuncheng didn’t expect that there would be so many people fighting for it, and in such a short period of time, the price actually doubled.
As expected, they were all here for this item!
Jiang Yuncheng’s gaze landed on Li Tongzhou below, his gaze was deep as he continued to bid, “6 million!”
Bai Yao’s expression did not change, “6.1 million.”
The Gu masters below were all stunned.
“How much is this token worth?”
“You must be joking!”
“Are these large sects crazy? They are fighting over this useless token?”
No one understood.
And no one dared to bid.
This level of auction had nothing to do with the Gu masters in the venue.
However, at this moment, an old voice came from the crowd.
“20 million!”
Everyone was stunned, looking towards Fang Yuan’s position.
What was going on?
The big shots upstairs were still shouting under ten million, and he raised it to twenty million?
What kind of joke was this?
The auction hall fell into a short period of silence.
Suddenly, a person in a private room in the corner snorted and questioned him.
“20 million? Fellow Daoist, do you know that you violated the auction rules by raising the price like this?”
Li Tongzhou could not help but retort, “What? Isn’t the bidding random? Must we raise it a little bit every time just like you?”
Fang Yuan’s expression was calm, and his voice was as loud as a bell. “Whether this old man has primeval stones or not, the auction house will check it. You don’t have to worry about it.”
“Hmph! If you really have such a rich family background, you must be from a prestigious clan. Why are you sitting below?”
He did not reveal his figure, but only said loudly, “I request the auction house to check if this person has 20 million primeval stones. They...”
His words stopped abruptly.
Fang Yuan held a purple crystal the size of a finger in his hand.
Majestic spirit essence energy was emitted from it.
“Is this enough?” Fang Yuan asked indifferently.
The purple crystal in his hand was a cultivation material that was countless times more valuable than primeval stones, and could also be used as currency.
With such a large piece, exchanging for five million primeval stones of the same size was not a problem.
More importantly, ordinary Gu masters could not obtain it, and only sects or clans with a lot of power could possess purple crystal veins.
There was no sound in the private room.
“They even have purple crystals? Which hidden clan is this?”
Jiang Yuncheng’s expression kept changing as he asked, “How many primeval stones did we bring out this time?”
“Reporting to young master, if we can use items as bargains, it will be around 30 million.”
“They definitely don’t have that many purple crystals. The other sects should be able to gather this amount in a short period of time. It all depends on who has the small change!”
Jiang Yuncheng did not give up and directly shouted, “30 million!”
For a moment, the other private rooms were all silent, as if they had given up on bidding.
After thinking about it, it made sense. Every sect needed to spend a large amount of primeval stones to maintain their daily operations. Not everyone could take out tens of millions of primeval stones at any time and place.
However, the few major sects still had the confidence to do so.
“30.01 million.”
Bai Yao still raised it by 10,000. She was completely unafraid that such a provocative act would offend others.
“As expected of the Gu Demon Sect, they are truly rich and overbearing. I’ll make one last bid, 35.44 million.”
Qin Wentian smiled, “Second brother Jiang, I’ve already thrown out all the primeval stones I brought from the Liuyun Sect. What about you? Do you still want to raise the bid?”
“That’s only natural!” Jiang Yuncheng replied. “38 million!”
The auction hall erupted with exclamations.
20 million was already an astronomical figure. Who would have thought that the bid for the second round would actually be doubled.
It was a fight between immortals!
But Bai Yao still calmly added. “38.01 million.”
“Fairy Bai is indeed bold, I can only sigh at my inferiority.”
Jiang Yuncheng clenched his fists, a fierce look flashing in his eyes as he placed his hands behind his back and made a gesture.
The attendant immediately understood and quietly left the place.
“It’s our turn.”
Fang Yuan’s lips curled up. Quickly raising the price had indeed shocked quite a few people in the VIP rooms.
Even after a round of bidding, there was only one opponent left, the Gu Demon Sect.
Fang Yuan continued to bid, while Bai Yao also refused to let go.
With her way of bidding, no one knew where the limit she could bear was.
After a few more rounds of bidding, it was already at 39.81 million.
Fang Yuan frowned.
First Senior Zhao Hede brought seven purple crystals, which was 35 million primeval stones.
Apart from that, he also gave all his primeval stones to Fang Yuan.
He had a total of 37 million.
Including the one million he did not use and Li Tongzhou’s primeval stones, they could barely make up 40 million.
If Bai Yao continued to bid, it would be the limit of what they could bear.
“No, I have to think of a way to make Bai Yao withdraw.”
Fang Yuan’s heart moved, and he suddenly sent a voice message to Bai Yao with an extremely weak aura.
“Bai... Bai Yao... I…”
The words stopped abruptly.
Fang Yuan bid at the same time, “40 million!”
This time, Bai Yao did not push.
A few seconds later, the door of the VIP room she was in was pushed open.
Bai Yao walked out with a gloomy face and left the auction venue directly.
