C93 An Astronomical Price Fight
But compared to him, most of the people in the auction hall didn't react much.
This was because even though this Demon Spirit Flower was precious, it was useless to people like them who couldn't cultivate their mental energy.
"Demon Spirit Flower, starting price, one hundred thousand gold coins." Loong Linger glanced below and said.
She knew very well that although the Demon Spirit Flower was precious, there were not many alchemists in the entire Black Dragon Domain, so she did not set the starting price high.
Even so, no one had bid for it for a long period of time.
Just as Loong Linger was about to withdraw the Demon Spirit Flower, a faint voice suddenly sounded.
"One hundred and fifty thousand gold coins!"
"It's him?"
In the auction hall, many people were looking at Chu Kuangsheng in astonishment.
In the next moment, everyone seemed to have thought of something. They all turned their heads to look at Qin Tian with playful expressions on their faces.
They really wanted to know if this young master of the Qin family who had been scammed earlier would make a move now to regain his previous reputation.
Qin Tian's face twitched when he saw the gazes that were thrown at him. His expression was as gloomy as still water.
"Dammit! I'm not a fool. Do you think I will be scammed again by the same trick?"
He gritted his teeth and said. In the end, he simply turned his head away, and didn't look at those gazes.
"Deal!"
Seeing that no one was bidding, Loong Linger dropped the jade hammer in her hand and auctioned off the Demon Spirit Flower.
She couldn't help but look at Chu Kuangsheng's room with a pondering expression.
This fellow had previously auctioned off so many pills in the auction house, and now he was bidding for the Demon Spirit Flower. Everything that happened had given her a premonition.
This person probably had a close relationship with an alchemist. Or rather, he was an apothecary himself.
The moment this thought appeared, Loong Linger's body trembled slightly and her eyes lit up.
"This woman, why are you staring at me like that?" Inside the room, Chu Kuangsheng said in a somewhat stunned manner.
However, he didn't think too much about it. This time, Qin Tian was afraid of being bitten by a snake for ten years, so he didn't come out to cause trouble. This allowed him to buy the Demon Soul Flower at a low price of 150,000.
This was not an unexpected gain.
Right at this moment, the atmosphere in the auction hall suddenly became strangely quiet. Countless people had burning expressions on their faces as they stared at the auction stage.
"Is the last item going to appear?"
Chu Kuangsheng muttered to himself. He had vaguely heard that a rare treasure would appear in this Black Dragon Auction.
Loong Linger extended her hand and beckoned while waiting. Two lovely young ladies carried a crystal box and walked onto the auction stage.
For a moment, only the sound of heavy breathing could be heard in the entire auction hall.
The last item of the auction had finally appeared.
"This item is the last item to be auctioned in this year's auction. I believe everyone is looking forward to it."
Loong Linger smiled and glanced at the second floor. She knew in her heart that the people of the five major powers were basically here for the last item.
Buzz!
She stretched out a finger and gently pressed it against a corner of the crystal box. A buzzing sound rang out as a palm-sized jade lotus rose from within.
When the jade lotus and the crystal box were at the same time, the eight crystal lotus petals slowly spread out in all directions, revealing the treasures within.
Shua! Shua!
In an instant, the eyes of the entire auction hall were cast toward the center of the lotus platform.
"What kind of treasure is it?" Chu Kuangsheng frowned slightly and looked down. His pupils slightly shrunk.
It was a crimson scroll. The surface of the scroll was covered with lines of flame. The hot temperature spread out from within.
"Scarlet Flame Spell, the first chapter of the Nine Stars of Earth Origin Technique. At its peak, it can open seventy-two meridians, and its power is not inferior to a complete Nine Stars of the Earth Element."
Loong Linger's light voice sounded, but it was like a flame that fell into dry firewood, instantly igniting the atmosphere of the scene.
"It's actually the Nine Stars of the Earth Origin Technique. This Black Dragon Auction House's handiwork is really big."
"No wonder the five big families are all gathered here. Although this thing is only the first part, it is not something that the cultivation technique of the Eight Stars of the Earth Origin can compare with."
"Seventy-two meridians. Heavens, if so many Houtian meridians are opened, even if there are no martial arts techniques, just the increase in strength from the cultivation technique is enough to challenge those who have a higher cultivation realm."
...
Hu!
Chu Kuangsheng stared at the crimson scroll. After a long while, he let out a breath of foul air, and his eyes shone with a bright light.
He never thought that there would be such a treasure in the Black Dragon Auction House!
One should know that even in the Four Spirit Academy, a cultivation technique of this level could be counted on one's fingers.
At this moment, he seemed to be able to hear the heavy breathing of the five great families.
The appearance of such a rare treasure would surely cause a bloody battle.
...
Loong Linger glanced at the excited forces and smiled faintly. She opened her mouth and said, "Scarlet Flame Spell, starting bid, two million gold coins!"
The moment she said this, the entire auction hall fell silent for a moment.
After a moment, those who were hoping to get lucky shook their heads with a bitter smile. As expected, they were not qualified to participate in a fight between rare treasures.
"The starting bid is two million. I'm afraid the final bid will not be lower than ten million."
Chu Kuangsheng said to himself. There was no surprise in his eyes. In the Four Spirit Academy, exchanging for a Seven Star Earth Yuan martial art or cultivation technique would cost more than ten thousand Profound Coins.
And the upper part of this Nine Star cultivation skill required at least a hundred thousand Profound Coins. In exchange for gold coins, it would reach a total of 10 million.
"Since everyone is unwilling to take the lead, then let me do it!" A faint laugh sounded out, breaking the silence of the auction hall.
"Qi Family, five million gold coins."
Many people were dumbfounded when they heard this. This was the first time in their lives that they had seen such a sky-high competition.
"Ge Clan, six million!"2
"Yan Clan, seven million!"
"The Gu family, eight million!"
...
In the blink of an eye, the bidding price of the Scarlet Flame Spell skyrocketed to eight million.
"This little amount of money in my hands is not enough." Chu Kuangsheng smiled helplessly.
If he had known earlier, he would have refined a few more Pulse Breaking Pills. With that, he would have the ability to participate in the fight for the Scarlet Flame Spell.
"But why didn't Qin Tian say anything?" Chu Kuangsheng's eyes sparkled as he looked at Qin Tian's room.
He did not think that Qin Tian would lose the ability to compete for the Scarlet Flame Spell just because he had cheated 1.7 million gold coins.
While he was confused, the price of the Scarlet Flame Spell continued to rise, and soon, it broke through the ten million mark.
Seeing that there was no sign of slowing down the bidding, Chu Kuangsheng could not help but exclaim.
It seemed like the price set by Four Spirit Academy was still considered as a conscience. At this rate, the price might reach more than 20 million.
"18 million!" The Qi Family once again raised the bid by five million.
For a moment, the people from the five families became silent. This price had exceeded their expectations.
"Hahaha, if no one can bid a higher price, then this Scarlet Flame Spell will belong to this Qi." A Qi Family man laughed loudly.
The Ge, Yan, and Gu Family members were very displeased when they heard this wild laughter.
However, their family's wealth was limited, so they could not continue to fight for it.
"Miss Long, now it's time to strike the hammer!" The Qi Family man looked at Loong Linger and smiled.
Loong Linger smiled, but she did not mean to hammer. Instead, she looked at the silent Qin family.
