"5 million!" Booth 4 immediately called out impatiently. He immediately increased the bid by 2 million, showing that he was determined to win. This was not strange at all. Just now, he was willing to pay 9.5 million spirit jades for the Beauty Pill, so naturally he would not be the slightest bit stingy with the Thunder Xuan Pill.
"6 million!" Booth 2 immediately called out.
"7 million!" Booth 4 did not give in this time. For the sake of a Thunder Xuan Pill, Booth 2 could only offend him for once.
"8 million!" This time, it was Booth 1 who called out. The originally passionate crowd immediately quieted down, and even Booth 2 and Booth 4 chose to remain silent.
Outsiders might not dare to be sure, but the owner of Booth 1 was clear in his heart. This was without a doubt the number one person in Morning Star Academy. Since even he called out a bid, everyone had to take a step back. This was the least they could do out of respect.
Finally, the first high grade Thunder Xuan Pill fell into the hands of Booth 1. Although this price could not even be compared to the Beauty Pill, it could not be considered low.
Everyone was actually somewhat apprehensive. This was only the first Thunder Xuan Pill. What if he also called out a bid for the next four Thunder Xuan Pills? Should they give in or not? They could not offend the number one person in Morning Star Academy just for a few Thunder Xuan Pills, right? But if they gave in, they would miss the opportunity to obtain the Thunder Xuan Pill. This was a high grade Thunder Xuan Pill!
Fortunately, Booth 1 had the demeanor of an expert. After calling out a bid once, he did not call out another bid, allowing everyone to simultaneously heave a sigh of relief.
"8 million!" When it came to the second Profound Thunder Core, the 4th booth once again gained the upper hand by a show of strength, raising the price to 8 million, immediately scaring a large number of people, those who wanted to take advantage of the loopholes immediately lost their hopes.
"10 million!" Booth 2 did not hesitate to call out. The entire crowd was in an uproar. This had actually broken the previous record for the Beauty Pill!
"11 million!" Booth 4 continued to raise the price.
"12 million!" Booth Number Two coldly snorted. This time, Booth Number Four immediately lost the confidence to compete with him. At this price, even he couldn't afford it. After all, he had already spent 20 million spiritual jades. No matter how many spiritual jades he had, he couldn't afford to spend it like this.
Lin Yi looked at this scene and silently laughed. From the looks of it, the owner of the second room was most likely Wei Hebei. Out of the three heads of the Morning Star Academy, only he had a tyrannical and overbearing style. Furthermore, he had many disciples and wasn't lacking in spirit jades. Throwing out twelve million spirit jades was nothing to him.
Immediately after the third Thunder Xuan Pill, Booth 3 was the first to call out a bid, "10 million spirit jades!"
Everyone's gazes subconsciously turned to VIP Room 2 and VIP Room 4. In the end, they discovered that neither of them had stepped forward to bid, and they were simultaneously maintaining their silence.
At the level of ten million spiritual jades, it would be difficult for the other VIP booths to compete with them. Even if they could gather so many spiritual jades, they would have to think it over carefully. Was it worth it to pay such a huge price to offend the third booth?!
For the fourth Thunder Profound Core, the first person to bid was still booth number 3, and the price was still 10 million spiritual jades!
Room 1 didn't say anything, and Room 2 didn't say anything either. But this time, Room 4 couldn't bear it anymore. This was already the fourth one. If this continued, he wouldn't even be able to get any leftovers. He would definitely regret it to death!
"11 million!" Booth Number Four immediately called out.
"12 million!" Booth 3 refused to budge an inch.
"15 million!" This time, VIP Booth Four was practically cutting off all means of retreat. They had spent so many Spirit Jades previously. Fifteen million Spirit Jades was already their limit. It would be difficult to spend another hundred thousand.
In the end, the Profound Thunder Core finally fell into the hands of booth number four. It seemed that even booth number three did not have enough spiritual jades to the point of casually using fifteen million spiritual jades to bid for a Profound Thunder Core.
The first four Profound Thunder Cores were all taken, and only the last one was left. It was still booth number three who called out, "12 million!"
It was obvious that booth number three was determined to win this Thunder Profound Core. Although everyone could see that 12 million was her limit, at this point, there were very few heavyweight buyers who could beat her.
Booth number four was already out of ammunition, and booth number one and two were tacitly silent. As for the other buyers, it was not easy for them to come up with 12 million spiritual jades in such a short time.
However, just when everyone thought the dust had settled, someone in the venue suddenly stood up and raised the price, "24 million!"
Everyone instantly went crazy, and their gazes instantly focused on this person. Even if he was in the first few VIP booths, he would at most increase the price by a few million at a time, but this person actually doubled the price in one go!
This time, even Lin Yi was shocked. He looked up and down at this person. He thought that all the top characters were in the VIP booths, but he did not expect that there would be such a hidden nouveau riche in this square.
"Who is this person?" Lin Yi asked curiously.
"Central Chamber of Commerce's Morning Star branch's shopkeeper, Zhao Donglai." Honest Chai introduced.
"Central Chamber of Commerce? No wonder! " Lin Yi suddenly understood. Speaking of nouveau riche, the Central Chamber of Commerce was definitely a rich and imposing nouveau riche. They could casually make a few low-end technological products from the secular world and earn a lot of spiritual jades. What business could be more profitable than this in the world?
Twenty-four million spirit jades, this was simply an astronomical figure among astronomical figures, and everyone could only shut their mouths. The last Thunder Profound Core had undoubtedly fallen into the hands of Zhao Donglai, this was truly a rich and overbearing nouveau riche, please do as you please ah.
"Hehe, 24 million spiritual jades, this Zhao Donglai is really bold!" Honest Chai's eyes lit up. "But it's also fortunate that this is the Morning Star Auction. If it was any other auction, even if he has a lot of spiritual jades, I don't think he would dare to bid in public."
"Why?" Lin Yi asked.
"If he dares to be in the limelight at other places, wouldn't that be asking for trouble? But here, everything is managed by the academy, so there's no need to be afraid of offending anyone. Moreover, the first few VIP booths are all big shots of the academy. Even if they want to lose face, they wouldn't go looking for trouble with him, unless they're shameless." Honest Chai analyzed.
Indeed, this was the logic. Everyone understood the logic of not showing off one's wealth. It was not worth it to make enemies because of this. Zhao Donglai dared to bid because he had the Central Chamber of Commerce behind him, so he was not afraid of anyone. Of course, he would bid if he wanted to.
