But the Gu family would certainly never imagine that Jiang Xiaobai would show up, and he appears to take a sick pleasure in tormenting people.
If it weren’t for Jiang Xiaobai’s meddling, this time, the Gu family would have made a killing with their earnings!
“Hmph, thankfully I made it. If I’d allowed you to have your way, it would’ve been a disaster,” he thought to himself, chuckling coldly in his mind, before letting out a loud shout.
“A billion!”
When Jiang Xiaobai made his bid, the lively haggling of the bidding ground suddenly fell silent.
Previously, folks have only been bidding in the five or six-hundred million range, the sort of sum that, albeit a bit steep, most could manage to scratch together by selling off a bit of their property.
But Jiang Xiaobai just catapulted this blood warrior to the highest tier. Anyone wanting to outbid him needs to be of the top-most caliber!
Are they joking? Do they think everyone here is as filthy rich as the Void Prince, who can just casually throw a billion around?
All the people couldn’t help but grit their teeth, their eyes filled with resentment when they looked towards Jiang Xiaobai.
However, everyone knows that the Void Prince is of mysterious origin, and he is accompanied by a master who has survived a catastrophe. Under such circumstances, even if they hold grudges, they could just grumble internally and avoid making trouble for Jiang Xiaobai.
“Void Prince, you’re indeed a lavish spender!”
“Ah, I initially thought I could put up a fight for the auction, but once the Void Prince stepped in, he became invincible.”
“Truly a man from a superpower, Void Prince’s courage and skill is unmatched.”
There’s nothing they can do if they can’t compete against him, is there?
All they can do is to seize this chance to flatter him, then let out a bit of their own awkwardness.
At the very moment when Jiang Xiaobai made his bid, Gu Leng looked at him with surprise.
They, from the Gu family, had done some calculations beforehand and believed that the highest price for the blood warrior might be five hundred million tops.
But who would have thought that Jiang Xiaobai’s appearance would double that number? Even after Gu Leng extended a 30% discount to Jiang Xiaobai, the final price would still be a whopping seven hundred million!
Without hesitation, Gu Leng knocked his gavel down, indicating the blood warrior’s transaction was completed and sold to Jiang Xiaobai.
“Let’s congratulate the Void Prince!”
“Congratulations on receiving the blood warrior that our Gu family has carefully nurtured!”
A few sparse claps could be heard from the audience, with very little enthusiasm.
But they were once again shocked by Jiang Xiaobai’s stupendous wealth.
Announcing the billion price without batting an eyelid, in the whole of Northern State, only the Gu family and the might of the Hai Xianzong might rival this.
Jiang Xiaobai was indifferent, he stood up and bowed to everyone, then casually took his seat again.
Just as he sat down, Wenwen came over to him.
“Void Prince, I know you are wealthy and very interested in the Gu family’s blood warriors, but I have to warn you.”
“That blood warrior has some issues. We’re people from the Medicine King Sect. I just noticed through some special means that the flame poison in the blood warrior’s body is at a dreadfully high level.”
“Too much flame poison. Even if she doesn’t have any other issues, just that alone carries a high risk of going rogue at any time. It wouldn’t be good for you, Void Prince.”
After all, Jiang Xiaobai had previously cut Wenwen some slack and allowed the Medicine King Sect to get that Qianguant Shengucao. Now that she knew about this issue, she could repay Jiang Xiaobai some of that favor.
It might not be enough, but she must offer some help.
However, Wenwen was full of curiosity about Jiang Xiaobai, this mysterious wealthy gentleman. Who exactly was he?
What she didn’t know was that Jiang Xiaobai, a man who possessed the art of refining pills from Lord Lao Zi, naturally saw the issue that the disciples of the Medicine King Sect were able to spot.
All he could say was that he nodded in appreciation of Wenwen’s good intentions.
He then said something that made the corner of Wenwen’s mouth twitch a bit.
“No worries, it’s only flame poison. The Huaking Dan can take care of that.”
Jiang Xiaobai said this blandly, but upon hearing him, Wenwen almost spat up blood.
Their Medicine King valley also competed for the Huaking Dan!
Wenwen instantly regretted telling Jiang Xiaobai about it.
What’s she going to do now?
Would she actually have to ask Jiang Xiaobai to pull back a bit again?
But where would they put the Medicine King Sect’s face then?
At the thought of this, Wenwen almost wanted to find a toilet and faint out of frustration.
This was a self-inflicted catastrophe.
Following the sale of the blood warrior, the next item to be auctioned was the Huaking Dan.
When the Huaking Dan came out, the crowd was stunned. Not because there was a Huaking Dan present that day, but because they were shocked by the last three auction items!
Just what potency does Huaking Dan possess to create such a stir? Everyone knew that it could be considered a supreme treasure.
But, just how terrifying must the treasure be for even the Huaking Dan to make way for it?
No one dared to imagine it!
The auction of the Huaking Dan was also rather fierce. There were a total of five Huaking Dans, all sourced from other places.
After all, getting Huaking Dan from the hand of the Golden Pavilion, under the control of the Qian family, was impossible. Jiang Xiaobai knew this already.
The five Huaking Dans were sold individually, maximizing the profits.
When the auction started, Wenwen couldn’t help but keep sneaking glances at Jiang Xiaobai. She wanted to see what Jiang Xiaobai’s plan was.
What surprised everyone was that Jiang Xiaobai did not participate in the auction at all. Instead, he just sat on the side sipping tea, seemingly uninterested.
This made Wenwen curious and she couldn’t help but ask him.
“Void Prince, the Huaking Da is a supreme treasure, why don’t you…”
Before Wenwen could finish, Jiang Xiaobai interrupted, “Oh, you mean this thing? I have plenty of it, no need to waste money buying it here.”
As he spoke, Jiang Xiaobai held out a chubby porcelain bottle, pulled the cork, and revealed ten Huaking Dans inside.
When she saw this, Wenwen could no longer hold back and spat up blood!
A crimson streak of blood leaked from the corner of her mouth, shocking even Jiang Xiaobai.
Why would a perfectly fine person suddenly spit blood?
“Miss Wen, what…”
“It’s fine, I’m fine!”
Wenwen quickly waved him off, insisting that she was fine.
But was she really fine?
Only Wenwen knew how upset she was. Can you stop being so careless about money?
That’s Huaking Da you’re talking about, and you’re actually carrying a bottle around?
And, you just casually took it out to show off. What are you trying to do? Show off to me?
To Wenwen it was evident that Jiang Xiaobai was a rich young man who wasn’t short of money. Thus, it was within her expectations that he had Huaking Dan on him. But his way of showing was a bit too much.
This isn’t the way to show off.
Are you trying to flaunt your wealth here?
But there was some good news, if Jiang Xiaobai didn’t participate in the auction, the Medicine King Sect stood a chance!
