He wanted this talisman because he wanted to go back and study it, not to use it. His sect had some connections with Taoism. It was not an exaggeration to say that it was an evolution and inheritance of cultivators. However, apart from research, if he wanted to use it, spending such a high price was simply burning money!
Although these people who came to the auction were the elites of the outer martial arts world, most of them represented the will of their sects. Although this talisman was very useful for saving one's life, if one spent so much money on something useless to the sect, wouldn't that be asking for a scolding when they went back?
"160 million … No, 200 million!" The long-faced cultivator hesitated for a moment and directly said while gritting his teeth. 200 million was the limit he could bear. If he couldn't get it, then he could only give up.
At this price, the previous competitors would no longer compete. Only the man with the black bamboo hat still said in a somewhat strange voice, "300 million!"
"Hiss …"
When the people present heard this, they all sucked in a breath of cold air. This was simply burning money! One had to know that everyone could see that the long-faced cultivator was putting up a final struggle. As long as the bid was 210 million, this black bamboo hat could be won easily. However, he directly bid 300 million. This was really a case of being rich and willful. Wasn't he too rich?
However, although they were shocked, no one bid again. Even the long-faced cultivator smiled bitterly. He knew that he had not lost unjustly. The other party's financial strength was really too strong.
"300 million going once … 300 million going twice … 300 million going thrice, sold!" Xiao Fei gently picked up the small hammer and hit it. She stretched her arm forward, revealing her exquisite and curvy body again. The sound of swallowing was endless.
However, at this moment, Xiao Chen looked at Xiao Fei with a strange expression. He was already used to the 300 million for a talisman, but for this Xiao Fei, he seemed to have a sense of déjà vu for a moment. However, it was only for a moment, and then he had no impression.
He had not participated in any other auctions, so he should not have seen this Xiao Fei. Moreover, such a stunner exuded temptation with every move. Xiao Chen felt that he should not forget her if he had seen her.
The staff took the card reader and the long-distance talisman to the man with the bamboo hat to complete the formalities. The man with the bamboo hat seemed to be very straightforward. He directly swiped the card and then kept the long-distance talisman.
The auction continued. Xiao Chen closed his eyes. He didn't dare to be interested in the other items in this auction. Of course, even if he was interested, he wouldn't be able to afford them. The prices of the items in this auction were heaven-defying.
However, listening to Xiao Fei's voice was a pleasure. His purpose in coming here was to bid for the Extraterrestrial Meteoric Iron. When the time came, he would fight with all his strength.
But to Xiao Chen's surprise, the big-bearded man, the arrogant young master, and the long-faced cultivator all continued to participate in the battle. On the other hand, the truly wealthy man in the bamboo hat seemed to have no interest in the remaining battles. He closed his eyes in contemplation, but there was not the slightest hint of enjoyment on his face, as if he were about to fall asleep.
It seemed that this person was either a woman or a cultivator with a firm will. She was immune to Xiao Fei's charming voice.
…
"The next auction item is a Thousand Year Purple Snow Lotus!" Xiao Fei's voice made Zheng Xinxiang, who was next to Xiao Chen, suddenly tremble. It was not that he liked Xiao Fei, but this Thousand Year Purple Snow Lotus was exactly what he needed!
His master was seriously injured and needed a Thousand Year Purple Snow Lotus as medicine. However, this thing was very rare. He had asked around and learned that it would be sold in this auction, so he came to participate.
Otherwise, in such a high-standard auction, the GreenStone Faction would not participate in the fun. Why would they come if they didn't have money?
The staff of the auction showed the Thousand Year Purple Snow Lotus in the box. Zheng Xinxiang's breathing was a little rapid. Xiao Chen opened his eyes and looked at him. He asked, "Do you want to buy this?"
"Yes, my master needs this medicinal herb!" Zheng Xinxiang nodded.
"Everyone has seen it. The starting price of this Thousand Year Purple Snow Lotus is 20 million. Each increment must be no less than 10 million!" Xiao Fei smiled and said, "Everyone, please bid!"
"30 million!" Zheng Xinxiang said directly.
"50 million!" A voice sounded, and Zheng Xinxiang was shocked. He did not expect someone to compete. He had limited funds. If the price was too high, he could only miss it.
"60 million!" Zheng Xinxiang had no choice but to bite the bullet and bid.
"80 million." The voice continued to bid. It was actually the long-faced cultivator.
"100 million!" However, before Zheng Xinxiang could make a bid, another voice rang out. It was a middle-aged man with a pale face and no facial hair. He was not wearing a mask. Instead, he casually sat there. Clearly, he was also from a large sect.
"Smiling Maitreya, you are doing this on purpose, right?" The long-faced cultivator's expression changed and asked angrily.
"We, the Joyful Clan, need this thing for dual cultivation. What's wrong with that?" The person called Smiling Maitreya said indifferently, as if he was not afraid of the long-faced cultivator.
From their conversation, these two people's sects should have some conflict. Otherwise, they wouldn't be bickering here.
"Hmph, very good. 150 million!" The long-faced cultivator shouted.
"200 million!" The Smiling Maitreya looked at the long-faced cultivator with a smile.
"Oh, then I'll give it to you. Did you forget that I don't have that much money? If you have more than 200 million, I will buy the Thousand Mile Talisman. "The long-faced cultivator laughed." Are you stupid? You spent 200 million on something that is worth tens of millions! "
"Hmph!" Anger flashed across the Smiling Maitreya's face, but he still maintained his smile. "I am willing to spend money to make Xiao Fei smile. What's wrong with that?" The Smiling Maitreya said indifferently, "If you can't afford it, just say that you can't afford it!"
"Haha, up to you!" The long-faced cultivator laughed and did not speak.
On the other side, Zheng Xinxiang was secretly complaining. This time, he had only brought 250 million. Previously, when he entered the shop, he had spent 10 million, so he still had 240 million left. Now, it seemed that these two people were fighting and had suddenly raised the price. It would be very difficult for him to get that Thousand Year Purple Snow Lotus!
When he saw that the horse-faced cultivator had given up, he was overjoyed. Thus, he hurriedly called out, "I offer 210 million. Senior Smiling Maitreya, it just so happens that I'm here to take over. Please let me have it!"
The Smiling Maitreya looked at Zheng Xinxiang with a smile. No one could tell what he was thinking from his face, but in fact, he was calculating in his heart. He made the bid to argue with the long-faced cultivator, but now that the long-faced cultivator had given up, it was useless for him to buy it.
At this moment, it was a good thing that someone wanted to buy it, but the bad thing was that this person actually said that he wanted to buy it. This made the Smiling Maitreya very angry! If you said that you wanted it, just bid directly. Why did you say it out loud?
Aren't you saying that I don't have money? The Smiling Maitreya usually cared about his reputation. Since he had said it out loud, he could not let it go. He said coldly, "250 million, what do you mean? Why do you want to buy it? Can't I need it myself? That long-faced guy said that the grapes were sour because he couldn't eat it. Did you take it seriously? "
"This …" Zheng Xinxiang was stunned. He did not expect things to turn out this way!
"Sigh." Xiao Chen could not help but sigh. This Zheng Xinxiang was still too inexperienced. Although there were shameless cultivators, there were also some who wanted to save face. This Smiling Maitreya was such a person.
He knew that Zheng Xinxiang said this out of kindness, but this kindness seemed to be almost like charity. How could the Smiling Maitreya accept it?
"200 million …" Zheng Xinxiang wanted to bid again, but he immediately thought that he had no money. He could only shut his mouth resentfully, but he was not willing. He gritted his teeth and turned to look at Xiao Chen. "Young Hero Qiang, can you lend me some money …"
"I can if it's tens of millions, but I don't have any more." Xiao Chen had a pretty good impression of Zheng Xinxiang, but he really didn't have any money right now. The Five Poisons Secret Manual hadn't been auctioned yet. His own money was the money he got from Cheng Zhongfan previously.
"Okay! Thank you! "Zheng Xinxiang immediately had confidence and bid," 260 million! "
"300 million!" The Smiling Maitreya smiled insincerely. "Kid, do you want to go against me too?"
"I …" Zheng Xinxiang complained. He seemed to understand that he shouldn't have said so much before. If he didn't say it, maybe this smiling Maitreya wouldn't continue. But if he said it, this person would definitely compete to the end because he wanted to save face!
However, 300 million was not enough even if Xiao Chen lent him tens of millions. He could only give up helplessly. "No, Senior, I don't dare to do it again!"
"Hmph hmph!" The Smiling Maitreya looked at Xiao Fei proudly. "Xiao Fei, no one else is competing, right?"
"Hehe, Big Brother Smiling Face, this thousand-year-old Purple Snow Lotus is yours. Thank you for supporting Xiao Fei!" Xiao Fei smiled and nodded lightly to the Smiling Maitreya.
The Smiling Maitreya was very satisfied. He waited for the staff to come over and swiped his card to keep the thousand-year-old Purple Snow Lotus. Although this thing was bought to fight with Horse-Face and it was not useful for the time being, it did not mean that it would be useless in the future.
However, what made him angry was that something that could be bought with 200 million was interrupted by Zheng Xinxiang. In the end, he had to pay an extra 100 million! After the staff left, he lowered his voice and asked a Joyous Clan disciple next to him, "Who was the person who bid against me?"
"Martial Uncle, please wait a moment. I will go and investigate!" The disciple nodded and responded, then went to inquire. Not long after, the disciple came back and said, "It was the acting leader of the GreenStone Sect, but the GreenStone Sect no longer exists!"
"Okay, I got it." The Smiling Maitreya remembered this name. What he hated the most was people who humiliated him. In his opinion, this kid said that he wanted to take over in front of so many people. It was obvious that he looked down on him.
The auction was still going on, but Zheng Xinxiang was a little dispirited. He sighed and said, "Young Hero Qiang, I'll be leaving first during the half-time break. Since I can't buy what I want, there's no point in me staying here!"
