Chapter 545 Bidding
As Wu Xue's voice fell, there weren't many people placing the bid. After all, it was too expensive for ordinary people, and the amount wasn't large.
Yun Lintian waited for a while and discovered there were only two people from room number three and number six on the fourth zone biding for it.
"The esteemed guest from room number three has raised the bid to four hundred thousand." Wu Xue announced and looked at room number six, waiting for the next bid.
However, there was no further bid from room number six. Wu Xue waited for another minute and confirmed there were no other bidders. Just as she was about to announce the winner, Yun Lintian's voice rang out. "Five hundred thousand."
Wu Xue's eyes flashed with a strange light as she quickly looked toward Yun Lintian's room. A smile appeared on her face. "The esteemed guest from room number twenty has raised the bid to five hundred thousand."
Inside room number three, a handsome young man clad in white frowned slightly when he heard this. He glanced at a beautiful woman beside him and said. "Can you check that room?"
The beautiful woman did not say anything, but her Spiritual Sense silently spread out toward Yun Lintian's room. However, she soon discovered another layer of an isolation formation completely blocking her Spiritual Sense, making her unable to pry further into the room.
She retracted her Spiritual Sense and shook her head. "Can't"
A trace of surprise appeared on the young man's face. He understood the strength of the woman beside him well. Silently penetrating any monarch-level isolation formation wasn't a problem for her, yet she actually ended up failing. The person in that room seemed to have an unusual way of deploying the isolation formation.
The young man thought for a moment and decided to raise the bid. "Six hundred thousand."
Before Wu Xue could say anything, Yun Lintian immediately followed. "Seven hundred thousand."
The eyes of the young man in room number three narrowed slightly. This was the first time someone had challenged him like this. He opened his mouth. "One million."
As his voice fell, Yun Lintian's voice followed almost instantly. "Two million."
The audience in the first and second zone glanced at each other in shock. To them, one million high-grade Profound Stones was the amount that they probably could never earn in their lifetime, yet the man in room number twenty had directly added another million just like that. How rich was this person?
Inside room number one, Du Huanfeng had a hint of surprise on his face. In his eyes, one million was already the maximum price for this amount of Floating Metal. He didn't expect there would be someone willing to pay two million for it.
"Who is this person? Why did he stay in the third zone?" Du Huanfeng was puzzled. With this massive wealth, it was impossible for this person to be an unknown figure.
Du Huanfeng nodded his head and said nothing more.
The young man in room number three was Pei Xiewen, the young master of the Great Roc Clan. His clan was one of the nine pillars of the Nine Profound Beast Palace. It could be said his status was similar to Du Huanfeng.
As for the woman beside him, her name was Bi You. She came from the Heavenly Fox Clan, another pillar of the Nine Profound Beast Palace, and she was Pei Xiewen's fiancé.
The two had recently visited the Central Continent and were on their way back to the Western Continent. They decided to take a rest on this Black Jade Island before continuing their journey and coincidentally participated in this auction.
Pei Xiewen thought for a moment and said. "Forget it." He also held the same opinion as Du Huanfeng. One million was already the maximum price he could bid for it. Even though he was rich, he was unwilling to spend more than that for this tiny piece of Floating Metal.
Wu Xue obviously heard this and believed there were no other bidders. She quickly concluded. "Congratulations to the esteemed guest in room number twenty. We will deliver this Floating Metal to you in a while."
"What a prodigal," Hongyue complained. She didn't think this Floating Metal was worth that money. What could Yun Lintian do with that small piece of metal?
Yun Ruanyu and others glanced at each other in puzzlement. They also didn't think it was worth it. However, Yun Lintian had already decided it was useless for them to say anything now.
Yun Lintian was naturally aware of this, but he didn't think about it much. He bought it for study purposes, anyway. When he got his hand on the Floating Metal in the future, he could directly create a skyship without wasting his time.
Knock! Knock!
At this moment, a knocking sound rang out at the door, and Yun Lintian went to open it directly.
The young receptionist who brought him here appeared with the Floating Metal in her hand. "Dear esteemed guest, this is your item."
Yun Lintian immediately stored the Floating Metal away and asked. "Can I pay it here directly?"
The receptionist gave a professional smile as she said. "The esteemed guest can choose to settle it here or go to the back room with me."
"I'll pay it here." Yun Lintian said and handed a storage ring he had prepared earlier to her.
The receptionist checked the content inside briefly and said. "Thank you for your patronage. I wish you a happy auction. Again, if the esteemed guest has something to inquire about, you can contact us anytime."
Yun Lintian nodded and was about to close the door. All of a sudden, he perceived a faint Spiritual Sense sweeping over his body and quickly retracted in a split second. A strange light flashed across Yun Lintian's eyes as he could guess the owner of this Spiritual Sense.
