Who would have thought that even though everything went according to Ling Tian's plan, it was all for naught. Just as he was about to reach his goal, Yang Lei suddenly interfered! As such, the price was temporarily fixed at 2,000,000 taels of silver. However, such a price was not enough to scare the experts. Especially for those who knew the effects of the jade, 2,000,000 taels was not a large sum.
Since when did the Yang Family become so shrewd? This young master was actually tricked by you! Ling Tian glared at Yang Lei angrily, only to see that the other party was actually trying to curry favor with him! Startled, Ling Tian immediately understood. So this old fellow was afraid!
Understanding this point, Ling Tian sighed in his heart. This could be considered as reaping what he sowed, right?
On the stage, Xiao YanXue glanced at Ling Tian and asked, "The current price is 2,000,000 taels of silver, is there anyone who wishes to increase the price?"
Just as she said that, a clear voice rang out, "3,000,000 taels of silver." Everyone turned to see that it was Qian ShuiRou. DongFang JingLei wanted to speak, but after looking at Ling Tian, he hesitated a few times and did not call out a price.
Qian ShuiRou's bid was like a resounding slap to Yang Lei's face. The previous competition could be said to be a competition between the two prodigal sons, but Qian ShuiRou's bid had undoubtedly determined the value of the jade!
Everyone's gaze was focused on Ling Tian. They knew that this young master would definitely not give up. However, they were all curious as to what price he would call out this time. Would it be another 3,000,000 taels of silver, or even 3,000,000 taels of silver? Qian ShuiRou, who had just called out a price, also began to feel nervous. This fellow wouldn't continue to cause trouble, right? If he really did that, what should she do?
Ling Tian smiled lightly, "Since brother Qian has called out a price, then this young master will do the same." As he said that, he paused for a moment, as though he was considering. Everyone held their breaths, waiting for him to say something like '3,000,000 taels of silver, taels of silver, taels of silver'. Qian ShuiRou's slender hands were tightly clenched into fists.
"Four million silver taels is enough. Now that the clown is gone, it's time for the real competition to begin." Ling Tian winked at Qian ShuiRou and said with a smile.
Qian ShuiRou couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief. She glared fiercely at Ling Tian and felt a sense of gratitude in her heart. He couldn't help but feel strange. This guy was still competing with him. How could he be grateful to him? Was it because he didn't say three million and one tael?
Qian ShuiRou calmed herself down and shouted, "6,000,000 taels!" The moment this price was announced, everyone was flabbergasted!
Everyone knew that Warm Jade was precious, but at best, it was only a small piece of jade the size of a palm. Even if there was only one piece in the world, it would not be worth six million taels of silver! This was not just six million taels of sand! Did this guy have a screw loose in his head?
Xiao YanXue was also stunned. In her expectations, although this Warm Jade had extraordinary effects, three million taels of silver was already the limit. Exceeding three million taels of silver was already beyond her expectations. Who would have thought that the price would actually reach six million taels of silver! Could it be that this Warm Jade had some other miraculous effects that she didn't know of?
Ling Chen secretly tugged at Ling Tian's sleeve and whispered, "Young Master, forget it. Chen 'er doesn't want it anymore. "
Ling Tian chuckled and shook his head resolutely. He was already certain that Qian ShuiRou definitely knew the true effects of this Warm Jade. Furthermore, Qian ShuiRou's cultivation method was definitely related to this Warm Jade. Otherwise, she definitely wouldn't have bid six million taels of silver for a piece of jade the size of a palm. Compared to Ling Tian's bid of four million taels of silver, it was two million taels more! This showed that she was determined to win this Warm Jade.
However, Ling Tian also couldn't let go of this Warm Jade. Ling Chen's Divine Ice Formula could only be achieved with the help of this Warm Jade. Furthermore, she would never face the danger of cultivation deviation! Furthermore, this Warm Jade was related to her Divine Black Negative Meridians. This Warm Jade was already a priceless treasure in Ling Tian's heart! Even if the price was sky-high, he definitely wouldn't give it up!
Ling Tian chuckled and stood up, lightly saying, "Ten million taels of silver!"
Qian ShuiRou sat down dejectedly. Even though she still had the heart to compete, her wealth was still lacking. The entire crowd was in an uproar. A piece of jade the size of a palm, no matter how rare and valuable it was, shouldn't be auctioned for ten million taels of silver?! Had this Young Master Ling Tian gone mad?
DongFang JingLei secretly wiped the cold sweat off his forehead. Luckily, he didn't participate in the bidding just now. Otherwise, he really wouldn't be able to get off the stage. Looking at Ling Tian's attitude, even if the price was raised by another ten million taels, he would still be able to win it. With the wealth that the Ling family had accumulated over the years, even if it wasn't a drop in the ocean, it definitely wouldn't hurt their foundation!
Xiao YanXue asked three times, but no one else made a bid. The hammer fell, and the Warm Jade fell into the hands of the Ling family!
When Ling Tian went to pay the bill, Xiao YanXue asked softly, "The Warm Jade definitely isn't worth this price. Why are you doing this? Is it worth it? "There was a hint of reproach in his voice.
Ling Tian looked at her strangely. Why is this lass suddenly so concerned about me? Doesn't she hate me the most? Smiling faintly, he said in a low voice, "Because I have so much money that I don't know where to spend it. Who asked our Ling Family to be so rich!" Xiao YanXue fiercely spat at him, so angry that she was speechless.
Receiving the Warm Jade from Xiao YanXue, Ling Tian's heart was filled with joy. When he held it in his hands, he only felt a warmth. In an instant, he felt as though his heart had calmed down, and there was a feeling of auspicious light shining down on him. The longer he held it in his hands, the stronger this feeling became. He couldn't help but praise in his heart. A heavenly treasure is indeed extraordinary! Ten million taels, it's worth it. Even if I add another ten million taels, it's still worth it!
Returning to his seat, Ling Tian casually placed the Warm Jade into Ling Chen's hands. Ling Chen's face was filled with joy as she carefully placed the Warm Jade into her bosom. Unable to contain the excitement in her heart, she gave Ling Tian a peck on the cheek. However, she quickly realized that they were in public. She couldn't help but hide in Ling Tian's bosom, not daring to raise her head.
Qian ShuiRou felt a sharp pain in her heart. So this fellow had used such a high price to buy the Warm Jade for the sake of winning a smile from a beautiful woman. He didn't love money, but cherished the smile of a beautiful woman! However, his vile and dissolute heart was bound to greatly delay his own cultivation! He was truly hateful!
Xiao YanXue looked at Ling Chen who was nestled in Ling Tian's bosom. A strange look flashed in her eyes, but she finally returned to normal. She coughed twice and said, "The third treasure of this auction was also discovered by the three pharmacists. It's a pair of Ice Crystal Fire Lotuses that grow on the peak of the Northern Snow Mountain. This item is a heavenly treasure. If taken correctly, it can be used to revive the dead. It's a rare life-saving medicine. The base price is six hundred thousand silver taels. In addition, the minimum bid increment is ten thousand silver taels! "
Ling Tian laughed in his heart. Women are really petty. You just offended me, and now you want to take revenge on me! It's a pity that you didn't mention one function. These two Ice Crystal Fire Lotuses can be used to refine the Great Revitalizing Pill. It's enough to raise the cultivation of my brothers' Divine Shocking Dragon Art by at least one level! It will allow my Ling family's overall strength to take a big step forward. In particular, it can greatly alleviate Yu BingYan's Divine Black Negative Meridians! Without any hesitation, he directly bid two million silver taels.
The Ice Crystal Fire Lotus was worth at least four million silver taels. However, after Ling Tian bid, there was an awkward silence. No one responded. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that this guy was obviously worried that he had nowhere to spend his money. Wouldn't bidding with him be asking for trouble? Not only would it benefit the auctioneer, but it would also offend the Ling family. Moreover, the auctioneer's Xiao family would definitely not accept such a favor. Moreover, this item was said to be very mysterious. However, no one knew its actual function, so no one bid. Xiao YanXue asked three times, but no one answered. She hatefully slammed the gavel down and cursed in her heart. This guy is really a jinx! However, the price of the Millennium Warmth Jade had greatly exceeded the budget. Even if the Ice Crystal Fire Lotus suffered a loss, it was still fine!
Ling Tian crazily won two treasures in a row. Everyone present was somewhat disheartened. If this guy continued to act crazily, wouldn't all seven treasures end up in his hands? They would definitely not be able to win against him, but they also could not afford to offend him. In terms of money, they could not compare to the wealth of the Sky Bearing God of Wealth. Wasn't this auction specially organized for the Ling family?
When the fourth treasure was placed on the stage, everyone was dazzled. The Heavenly Blue Serene Sun, this was a true peerless treasure! Just by placing it on the table, it was already emitting a brilliant rainbow light. Following the changes in the light, the Heavenly Blue Serene Sun would also flicker. While it was placed there motionlessly, in the eyes of everyone present, it was as though it was constantly rotating and emitting a resplendent light. Even an ignorant person would be able to tell that such a rare treasure was absolutely priceless!
The starting bid was eight hundred thousand silver taels.
After this price was announced, no one made a sound for a long time. Everyone was thinking in their hearts, The first two treasures were far inferior to this Heavenly Blue Serene Sun. Since Ling Tian was able to obtain it at such a high price, he would definitely not let go of this treasure.
However, to everyone's surprise, Ling Tian did not seem to have any intention of bidding. Instead, he began to tease Ling Chen in a low voice, as though he was not interested in this Heavenly Blue Serene Sun. Even Ling Chen's attitude was abnormal. Such a treasure was something that any woman would be unable to avoid. Even Qian ShuiRou was not an exception. However, Ling Chen acted as though she did not see it at all! Could it be that the person beside a monster was also a monster?
Everyone heaved a sigh of relief and a merchant placed a bid of one million silver taels. The Yang Family. The Nangong family and even DongFang JingLei participated in the bidding. As the price rose higher and higher, everyone began to withdraw. In the end, the young master of the Yang Family, Yang Wei, managed to obtain the Heavenly Blue Serene Sun with a price of twelve million silver taels. He could not help but look towards Ling Tian in a threatening manner. (To be continued, if you want to know what will happen next, please go to www.qidian.com, there are more chapters.
