After all, to those cultivators who were at the peak of the advanced stage of the original level, obtaining an Essence Raising Dan at this time was like gaining a precious ticket to becoming a tycoon.
"Three million!" Lin Yi raised the price again without hesitation, and all the competitors' eyelids twitched. Compared to the others, they were all rich, but in front of Lin Yi, they were all fake rich. Only he was a true tycoon!
"Three million and fifty thousand!" An old man with snow-white hair clenched his teeth and said.
Lin Yi glanced at him. This was a cultivator at the peak of the advanced stage of the original level. It seemed like he was making a last stand for himself. Though cultivators lived a long life, getting too old would make them lose their drive and it would be hard for them to make any more breakthroughs. If he couldn't break through to the Xuan realm this time, he would probably never be able to do so again.
Thinking about it made one sigh. However, Lin Yi would not pity an outsider who had nothing to do with him. He had to get this Qi Raising Golden Grass today. Without blinking, he said, "Three million and two hundred thousand!"
The white-haired old man's expression froze as he looked at the calm Lin Yi. His body trembled as he tried to open his mouth, but he couldn't make a sound. He could only sit back down with a desolate look on his face.
Three million and five hundred thousand was his limit. He already had to borrow money from others. He could not afford to pay more than that. Let alone the fact that there was no way he could win against the wealthy Lin Yi, even if he managed to get his hands on the Qi Raising Dan, it would be useless. Finding someone to help him with the Essence Raising Dan would require a lot of spiritual jades.
"Three million and three hundred thousand!" Just as the white-haired old man retreated in fear, a young woman immediately took over from the other side. This was a second-generation cultivator of the academy. She was much more confident than the white-haired old man, and she was also determined to get the Yuan Raising Demon Golden Grass.
Bao Zuoliang and Su Kesheng were overjoyed to see this scene. They'd released the Qi Raising Golden Grass just for this. As long as Lin Yi and these people didn't give way to each other, they'd end up fighting each other sooner or later. They'd be enemies even if they didn't want to.
But all of this was secondary. The one Su Kesheng made for Lin Yi hasn't even spoken yet. Remember, that person was even more desperate for the Qi Raising Golden Grass than Lin Yi!
"Three million and eight hundred thousand!" Lin Yi looked at the woman, and the number that came out of her mouth shocked everyone. This wasn't a ready-made Qi Raising Pill, it was just a stalk of Qi Raising Golden Grass. Was there a need to ask for such a high price?
What could they do? Rich people were always stubborn.
"Three … Three million nine hundred thousand!" The young woman looked at Lin Yi angrily and hesitated for a while before saying.
"Four million and two hundred thousand!" Lin Yi still had a calm expression and did not even look at her. With his wealth, he was destined to be invincible in this kind of situation where there were no big shots. Even the most powerful second generation cultivators were like floating clouds in front of him. In the past, they were the ones smashing others to death with spirit jades. Now, it was time for them to experience what it felt like to be smashed alive with spirit jades.
As expected, the young woman choked. Her face turned green and white as she glared at Lin Yi. After hesitating for a long time, she finally sat back down.
Although it was not that her family could not take out so many spirit jades, with the price of the Dan of Raising Dan, even if she got the Qi Raising Golden Grass, she would definitely be scolded by the elders in her family. All of her spirit jades were provided by her family. She did not dare to squander them like Lin Yi.
"Looks like no one is going to compete with you now." Wang Xinyan smiled. After all, she had followed the Divine Nun of the Eastern Sea. Her knowledge was far greater than that of regular students. Four million and two hundred thousand spirit jades was enough to buy a ready-made Dan of Raising Dan. Aside from people like Lin Yi, who had too much spirit jades to spend, no one else was willing to compete with him.
"I don't think it will be that simple." Lin Yi shook his head. He had been paying attention to one person throughout the entire auction. It was not Bao Zuoliang, who Wang Xinyan and Huang Xiaotao had mentioned, but the red-haired old man who sat boldly in the center of the hall.
Lin Yi had originally thought that Qing Danzi, his cheap disciple, was strange enough. He did not think that he would run into someone even stranger today. Not only was his hair and beard fiery red, but even his face was abnormally red. This was no longer the Heaven Island version of Lord Guan Yu. He was like the Lord of the Fire God who had descended into the mortal world!
Of course, Lin Yi did not pay attention to this red-haired old man purely because of his strange appearance. More importantly, this person's presence and strength were the best in the entire hall. Even if he sat there silently, he still had a strong sense of existence. This was because this was a true Mountain Opening giant, and he had never held back his aura!
Under normal circumstances, any Mountain Opening Stage tycoon should be like Ling Yuanqing and the other big shots of the academy and take the initiative to avoid arousing suspicion. After all, at their level, it was very difficult for a personal auction to have anything good that could catch their eye. Moreover, as a tycoon, he should have the airs of a tycoon. If he casually came out to compete with the younger generation, there would be no prestige left.
But, Lin Yi did not know what this red-haired old man was planning by appearing here. He had never opened his mouth before, but one thing was for sure. Since he was here, he must have an ulterior motive.
Soon, the red-haired old man noticed that Lin Yi was glancing at him intentionally or unintentionally. He immediately turned his head and looked back. There was no special expression on his face, but the terrifying aura from the giant of the Mountain Opening Period still made Lin Yi's heart jump.
Lin Yi couldn't help but think to himself. Was this guy really the Lord of the Fire God? Being stared at by him like that made me feel like I was about to burn up!
"That person is called Lu Dachang. He's not one of the higher-ups in the academy, but a guest elder that the city lord Bofara invited with a high price. I heard that he's a Mountain Opening Master, and his position in the city lord's manor is only slightly lower than Bofara's. He's one of the top three giants." Xinyan reported quietly.
"A Mountain Opening giant from the city lord's manor? Then what's he doing here? "The bad feeling in Lin Yi's heart grew stronger.
"I don't know …" Xinyan and Huang Xiaotao looked at each other and shook their heads. They had only heard of this person, and only heard some rumors. They didn't know much about him.
The whole place was silent. The people who coveted the Yuan Raising Demon Golden Grass were all frightened by Lin Yi. The price had already been raised to 4.2 million. Everyone wanted to bid, but they didn't have the strength to do so. They could only watch helplessly.
At this moment, Lin Yi's bad feeling became reality. Lu Dachang suddenly spoke, "4.5 million!"
The others didn't have enough capital, but he was a Mountain Opening Master. This amount of spirit jade was more than enough.
