Su Ming's expression remained the same. He only frowned for a brief moment before his brows relaxed. If it was anyone else bidding, Su Ming might have chosen to bid because he was interested in the crane.
However, since it was Tian Lan Meng who offered 500,000 stone coins in one go, Su Ming fell into a moment of pensive silence and decided not to bid.
However, even if he did not bid, it did not mean that the other people in the room would not bid. Zi Shan noticed Su Ming's frown relaxing, and a barely noticeable glint appeared in her eyes. As she smiled, she spoke softly.
"700,000!"
The auction hall that should have been Tian Lan Meng's bid fell into a moment of silence. Tian Lan Meng's status made many people wary, and they even had thoughts of not competing with her. After all, this item did not seem to be of much use.
That was why Zi Shan's voice echoed in the silence and immediately caught the attention of the people in the auction hall. Their gazes instantly gathered on the balcony of the ninth room.
Su Ming stood there, and Zi Shan, who was by his side, was looking at him with a smile. Based on her expression, it was as if she would only obey Su Ming's orders.
When most of the people saw the scene on the balcony of the ninth room, the first thought that popped up in their heads was that Su Ming had ordered the woman to place such a bid!
Tian Lan Meng also lifted her head. Once she cast a glance at Su Ming standing on the balcony, her expression remained the same, and her gaze fell on Zi Shan.
"1,000,000!" Tian Lan Meng spoke softly.
"Brother Su, do you still want this item?" Zi Shan covered her mouth and smiled as she looked at Su Ming from the ninth room.
A cold glint appeared in Su Ming's eyes as he looked at the woman. Her actions were sinister. She used the fact that Zi Shan was standing by his side to incite hostility between Su Ming and Tian Lan Meng. She casually placed a bid of 700,000 stone coins, causing Tian Lan Meng to pay double the price.
"I don't want it," Su Ming averted his gaze and said calmly.
Zi Shan's pupils shrank. She originally thought that Su Ming would definitely fly into a rage. Even if he would not vent his anger, he would still show some of it. If that was the case, she would be able to achieve what she wanted.
In fact, she had already made preparations to reply to Su Ming. She did not think that Su Ming would not be able to see through her petty actions, but she was certain that Su Ming would not be able to grasp this. After all, everything she did seemed to be for Su Ming.
Yet now, Su Ming's gaze had only turned slightly colder. There was no other change in him. This made Zi Shan feel that the person before her was unfathomable and unfathomable.
In the end, Tian Lan Meng bought the crane made of straw. Even if she had to pay double the price, she did not mind it.
What she cared about was that the crane came from another domain. What she cared about was whether or not it would help her in comprehending the Dao.
The auction continued with the blue-haired old man's voice. As more and more items were taken out, and as the mermaid and the sea dragon swam around, the crowd gradually began to discuss among themselves. It was difficult for them to calm down, and a strong desire to compete for the top slowly filled the auction house.
Zi Shan gradually found it harder and harder to see through Su Ming. This man who stood not too far away from her did not place a bid for any of the items. He only stood there and watched quietly as the items were sold off one by one.
Several hours later, the intense bidding in the auction house stirred up buzzing sounds in the air. It was as if there was an invisible force surrounding the place that could stir up the people's emotions and make all of them descend into madness.
Yet Su Ming remained as calm as still water. He simply stood there and watched, unmoved.
'This person might seem level-headed, but in truth, he's still very immature. If he placed a bid with this sort of pretense of being a profound person in the auction house, then he would definitely attract attention. It'll be difficult for him to easily get what he wants without people fighting for it.
'It'll be easier for him to get what he wants from those who place a few bids for each item.' Zi Shan cast a glance at Su Ming before averting her gaze.
The blue-haired old man on the stone pillar at the center of the auction house let out a few coughs at that moment, and once the intense atmosphere in the area eased up a little, once the place became slightly quiet, his voice traveled in all directions.
"Thank you for your kindness, my fellow tribe members from Freezing Sky. All the precious treasures have been bought, and I believe that the next item I'll bring out will be the same.
"But I must remind all of you that this item will stir up intense competition. Please be prepared." Once the blue-haired old man finished speaking, he lifted his right hand.
"Bring it up!"
Once he spoke, a distorted ripple that was several hundreds of feet wide appeared behind him. Booming sounds came from within the ripple, and soon after, nine people walked out slowly. These nine people were all strong men, and a gigantic long spear was slung over their shoulders. The instant these people walked out of the distorted ripple, a gigantic black long spear that was 100 feet long appeared before the people's eyes!
The moment the spear appeared, a shocking murderous aura instantly spread out with a howl and enveloped the entire area, causing all the people in the area to hear shrill cries of pain at that instant.
In fact, some of the more powerful Berserkers could even vaguely see that there were tens of thousands of vengeful souls gathered on the long spear. They surrounded the spear and screamed in pain.
"Sky Shaman Spear!"
"This … I've seen this item in some ancient scrolls before. That's right, this is it! This is the Sky Shaman Spear!"
"A thousand years ago, when the Shamans invaded Sky Mist Barrier en masse, they used a unique method to create nine Sky Shaman Spears. It's said that each Sky Shaman Spear contains a power that can shake the sky and earth, and it can … kill a powerful Berserker in the Berserker Soul Realm!"
An uproar rose swiftly, stirring up waves of sound that surged into the sky within the entire auction house. There were even some people who instinctively stood up with expressions of disbelief on their faces.
A hint of smugness appeared on the blue-haired old man's face. When they were deciding whether they should bring this item out for auction, different discussions had stirred up in Western Sea Clan, but in the end, they still chose to send it to the land of Freezing Sky.
"This item is the Sky Shaman Spear, and it has been verified by Western Sea Clan. There is no doubt about it! If you want to use it, you will need to make a sacrifice. Once it attacks, it can destroy a powerful Berserker in the Berserker Soul Realm!
"However, due to the passage of time and the fact that the Shamans have lost the method to create this spear, it can only be used once. Once it is used, it will turn into ashes and disappear into the wind.
"But even if you can only use it once, with this item, you will have the power to make those in the Berserker Soul Realm wary. With this item, perhaps you will have a chance at survival during Sky Mist Shaman Hunt!
"The starting bid for this item is 1,000,000 stone coins. Let the bidding begin!" The old man waved his arm, and the moment his voice fell, the sounds of people placing their bids immediately rose and fell.
"1,500,000!"
"2,000,000!"
"2,300,000!"
"2,700,000!"
"3,500,000!"
The intense voices continued rising in the auction house. Zi Shan hesitated for a moment in the ninth room before she looked towards Su Ming. However, in her eyes, Su Ming still looked the same. Not a single bit of change could be detected from him.
"Brother Su, if you like this item, I can buy it for you …"
"Did you give me another chance to buy it for you?" Su Ming turned his head around and cast Zi Shan a glance.
"Only once." Zi Shan nodded.
"Any item?" Su Ming smiled faintly.
"Anything you like!" Zi Shan lifted her chin. Her voice was very pleasant to the ears.
"But I don't trust you. I'll need proof to do this." As Su Ming spoke, he lifted his right hand and brought out a blank beast skin from his bosom. He placed it on the table and looked at Zi Shan.
Zi Shan hesitated for a moment, but when she remembered her Master's orders, she did not think too much about it. She moved forward and drew a few strokes with her right index finger. Delicate words appeared on the beast skin. Once she wrote down the words, she pressed her palm on the beast skin and left behind her palm print.
"I wonder if I can buy you, Zi Shan?" Su Ming's smile remained on his face. He put away the beast skin and looked at Zi Shan.
His words stunned Zi Shan, and a dark look appeared on her face.
"Brother Su, please don't joke around. I'm talking about the item I'm auctioning. Besides, if you want to buy me, you might not be able to afford it." Zi Shan was displeased and her expression turned cold.
"Name your price." Su Ming did not mind the coldness in Zi Shan's words and spoke languidly.
"You!" Zi Shan glared at Su Ming. She had never encountered such a thing before and did not know how to speak.
The sounds of people bidding for the item became louder. The appearance of the spear had shocked many people, causing them to place their bids.
"8,600,000!"
"9,400,000!"
"10,000,000!"
The person who placed the bid for 10,000,000 came from the same room as Su Ming's. It was the third room, and it was a gentle voice. However, even though that voice was gentle, there was a tone that allowed no room for argument.
Perhaps it was because of that voice, but the auction hall fell into a momentary silence. Once Zi Shan heard it, she stared at Su Ming and laughed coldly.
"Even if it's 10,000,000, you can't buy me. Su Ming, I respect you as a guest, but don't be too presumptuous! Your words are the same as insulting me! "Zi Shan's voice became colder.
"Insulting you..? Miss Zi Shan, I'll be taking this item. Please pay for me!" Su Ming smiled. Once he finished speaking, he turned his head around and looked at the auction hall outside the balcony.
"100,000,000!" Su Ming spoke languidly, but his voice traveled forth like thunder, causing the entire auction hall to fall into absolute silence. Countless gazes instantly gathered on the balcony of the ninth room and on Su Ming.
Even the old auctioneer was stunned and looked towards Su Ming.
Zi Shan was momentarily stunned, and her expression changed drastically.
At that moment, she was not the only one whose expression changed. There was also an old man in the eighth room whose body was as withered as a skeleton. That old man was holding a wine cup, and with a loud crack, the wine cup shattered. His face was twisted and his breathing quickened, but he seemed to have remembered something and forced himself to suppress his emotions.
"100,000,000 … This … This is …"
"He's Su Ming, and he's bidding price is 100,000,000!"
"Does he have that many stone coins? 100,000,000 stone coins? That's impossible! It's rare to see such a price appear in auctions. Even if the Sky Shaman Spear has shocking power, it can only be used once. It's not worth this price!"
"Sir, do you know that if you make a false bid and cannot bring out so many stone coins, then it will be seen as a provocation to Western Sea Clan? Even if you're a disciple of Freezing Sky Clan, you will still have to pay the price!" the blue-haired old man said hoarsely as he stared at Su Ming. "To be continued.
