"Wong Song Lord, don't keep us guessing. Hurry up and tell us the starting price."
"Yeah, Wong Song Lord, we're all waiting."
The martial artists invited City Lord Huang to quickly announce the starting price so that they could bid for it. As they wished, Wong Song Lord soon announced the starting price. However, the moment the price was announced, the people in the hall fell silent.
The starting price was 1,000 immortal stones, and each increment must be no less than 100 immortal stones. That was immortal stones, not crystals. Warriors from the lower realm would struggle to get even one immortal stone, let alone 1,000 immortal stones. Du Feng and the others were dumbfounded. The three of them only had 1,000 immortal stones, and after spending a portion of it, they couldn't even afford the starting price.
"1,100 immortal stones!"
"1,500 immortal stones!"
"2,000 immortal stones!"
Before the poor people from the lower realm could react, the price had already reached 2,000 immortal stones. Apart from the first bidder who was more cautious, the people behind him were getting crazier and crazier.
"Tsk tsk tsk … the people of the Minorcosm World are really rich."
The Dragon Emperor said this sourly. One must know that he was considered rich in the lower realm. Now that he had come to the Minorcosm World, which wasn't even a true upper realm, he had already been smashed to smithereens.
"The best is yet to come. Let's continue watching."
The lion man didn't even bat an eye at a price like 2,000 immortal stones. He was the city lord of East Immortal City after all, and he really didn't care about such a small amount of money. Everyone's current bidding was just a matter of anticipation. After all, no one could guarantee that this thing wasn't a real fire sparrow egg.
"3,000 immortal stones, my Bird Mountain City wants it."
A man in black stood up and directly increased the price by 1,000 immortal stones, raising the price from 2,000 to 3,000. He also stated that he was from Bird Mountain City. The biggest characteristic of Bird Mountain City was that the warriors liked to raise birds. Furthermore, the warriors' beasts were also mainly flying beasts.
Bird Mountain City was considered one of the stronger immortal cities in the Minorcosm World. Since he raised the price to 3,000 immortal stones, many warriors didn't join in the fun.
"Five thousand immortal stones!"
Just when the black-clothed man thought he was about to succeed, a voice suddenly rang out in the private room. He didn't say anything else, nor did he introduce himself. He just gave a simple price — five thousand immortal stones.
Whoosh … The crowd was in an uproar! The base price was only a thousand immortal stones. The other party increased the price by two thousand immortal stones in one go. Moreover, he did it so casually and without any nonsense. This was a truly rich person.
"Friend, please give our Bird Mountain City some face. The City Lord is my uncle."
After saying this nonsense, the man in black shouted a price of 6,000 immortal stones, hoping that the people in the private room would stop bidding with him. After all, he was in the hall while the other party was in the private room. His status was definitely lower than the other party's, but he could still use his uncle as the mayor to intimidate others.
"10,000!"
In the end, the other party did not give him any face at all and directly quoted a price of 10,000. He even omitted the word 'Immortal Stones'. This was truly a slap to the face.
"You … you …"
The black-clothed man tried twice, but in the end, he did not say anything, nor did he increase the price. The price of 10,000 Immortal Stones was simply too high, and he couldn't afford it no matter what. Even if he pawned everything on him, he wouldn't be able to walk out of the auction today.
"Is there anyone else who wants to increase the price? 10,000 Immortal Stones going once."
Wong Song Lord looked in the direction of the private room, smiled faintly, and began to count down. As long as no one increased the price by the third time, it would be a successful bid.
"10,000 Immortal Stones going twice."
It was already the second time, and still no one increased the price. It seemed like the black egg was about to be sold.
"The third time is …"
Before Wong Song Lord could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by someone.
"20,000 Immortal Stones. Leave it for me to play with."
At this moment, the person in the other private room spoke. From his voice, he didn't seem to be very old. Actually, the price of 10,000 Immortal Stones was already beyond the reach of most people. He only needed to increase the price by another 1,000 Immortal Stones and he would be able to win the bid. However, this person was simply too rich. He directly increased the price by 10,000 Immortal Stones.
"Young Master Chen, then I'll leave it for you."
Wong Song Lord was too direct. He didn't even ask if anyone else wanted to increase the price and directly decided to give it to Young Master Chen in the other private room. This was because he knew that this Young Master Chen was the descendant of some big shot in the Heaven Realm. If he wanted to take an egg back to play with, no one could stop him.
As expected, the martial artist who previously bid 10,000 Immortal Stones didn't even let out a fart. He tacitly agreed that the black egg belonged to Young Master Chen.
"Tsk … I thought he was rich. In the end, he's just a coward."
The man in black from Bird Mountain City finally got back to his senses. The person in the private room who bid 10,000 Immortal Stones didn't give him any face. In the end, it was still bought by Young Master Chen. Moreover, Young Master Chen said that he spent 20,000 Immortal Stones to buy the egg just to play with it.
"We can't compete with the Young Masters of the Heaven Realm. Let's just watch."
"I wonder who consigned the egg. He's really rich this time."
The martial artists in the hall discussed animatedly. Du Feng, on the other hand, was secretly happy in the private room. Others might not be able to see it, but he had long seen it. What kind of bullsh * t black egg was that of a Fire Sparrow. If there really was a Mutated Beast inside, Du Tulong would have sensed it long ago.
In other words, that egg was forged by a highly skilled person. Du Feng had already guessed that the person who forged the Fire Sparrow's egg and arranged for people to bid for it was the same person. It was that Bewitching Young Man in red feathered clothes.
To be able to forge the Fire Sparrow's egg so well and have the qualifications to arrange for people to enter the private room, who else could it be other than him? When the black egg appeared on the display stand just now, Uncle Lion Man didn't have any expression on his face. If Du Feng's guess was correct, he and Bewitching Young Man were in cahoots and knew about this a long time ago.
Tsk tsk tsk … This method was really brilliant. Through Wong Song Lord's auction, he sold a fake Mutated Beast's egg and swindled a huge sum of money from the Heaven Realm Young Master. The auction house took 30% of the final price of 20,000 Immortal Stones, which was 6,000 Immortal Stones. Bewitching Young Master could still earn 14,000 Immortal Stones. Even for a City Lord of an Immortal City, this was not a small amount.
This money was really easy to earn. Even Du Feng was a little jealous. He was wondering if he had anything that could be forged and auctioned on the display stand. It must be something of a very high level, something that even a Level Nine Heaven Realm expert would not be able to tell if it was real or fake.
