"Damn it, eighty-five thousand!"
The auction house was full of dragons and snakes. Duan Lingyun and Murong Qingcheng were not the only ones with deep pockets. Therefore, even though the price had been raised to eighty thousand mid grade spirit stones, there were still many people bidding.
Murong Qingcheng's expression didn't change, "Ninety thousand!"
"Ninety-five thousand."
"One hundred and twenty thousand."
Duan Lingyun steeled his heart and increased the price by thirty thousand, which was already close to the limit of three Demonic Evil Stones.
Murong Qingcheng had clearly come prepared, raising the price by another ten thousand.
"Lingyun, give up if you exceed one hundred and fifty thousand. The auction has just begun." Ghost Moon reminded Duan Lingyun.
"I know." Duan Lingyun nodded and said inwardly, 'Qingcheng, sorry, but I must have the Demonic Evil Stones. Wait until I condense the martial spirit embryo, I'll give you the extra.' Thinking up to this point, he extended his hand, "One hundred and fifty thousand mid grade spirit stones."
As soon as the price of one hundred and fifty thousand came out, all the voices disappeared. The limit of a Demonic Evil Stone was around forty to fifty thousand, and three of them would be between one hundred and twenty thousand to one hundred and fifty thousand. Exceeding this price would require careful consideration. After all, for peak Astral Reaching experts and extreme Astral Reaching experts, one hundred and fifty thousand mid grade spirit stones were equivalent to their entire fortune, and the auction was not even halfway through.
This time, Murong Qingcheng didn't continue bidding. She glanced at Ye Chen and knew that he was rich. As for how rich he was, she didn't know.
"It's about time to make a move." Ye Chen raised his hand and bid one hundred and sixty thousand.
Whoosh!
As soon as Ye Chen's voice was heard, a commotion arose in the auction house. Although Demonic Evil Stones were rare, they were only effective for Astral Reaching experts who had yet to condense a martial spirit. After reaching Sea of Soul realm and successfully condensing a martial spirit, a few Demonic Evil Stones wouldn't be of much use. Therefore, the bidders were bound to be Astral Reaching experts. However, Astral Reaching experts who could bid one hundred and sixty thousand mid grade spirit stones were few and far between. It should be known that there were many auctions in Extreme Yin Region, and many rich people had already squandered their wealth.
Ye Chen's voice startled Duan Lingyun. He clenched his teeth and bid one hundred and eighty thousand regardless of Ghost Moon's warning.
"Hmph, I can crush you in terms of wealth."
As the eldest disciple of the Soul Sundering Sect, Duan Lingyun was extremely wealthy. At this moment, he had no other intentions other than to suppress Ye Chen.
Almost four times the price had moved a lot of people. What did it mean to be rich and overbearing? This was it! An increase of tens of thousands was like a game to him. Many Astral Reaching experts felt their hearts twitch. Damn it, comparing oneself to others was infuriating. Each time the other increased the price, it was equivalent to all of their wealth. If they could make it this far, they would be considered outstanding.
"200,000."
Unfortunately, as soon as Duan Lingyun's voice fell, Ye Chen raised the price by 20,000, reaching a huge figure of 200,000. This caused the hearts of the crowd to palpitate. This seemed to be even more ruthless. The tone of the voice was calm, as though 200,000 mid-grade spirit stones were nothing to him.
"His wealth is at least 500,000 yuan!"
Murong Qingcheng, who was standing to the side, inwardly guessed.
Ye Chen sat steadily on the leather chair. He had no intention of giving up on the Demonic Evil Stone. Only with it could his battle power continue to increase. As for mid-grade spirit stones, it was fine as long as he had enough. He didn't need to be a miser with such a huge amount of wealth. The so-called wealth should be used in the right place.
"Enough! Only by maintaining your rationality can you become an expert. Fighting on impulse won't do you any good." Ghost Moon, after all, had lived for more than a hundred years and could see more clearly than Duan Lingyun. He stopped him from continuing.
"Damn it!"
Hearing these words, Duan Lingyun had no choice but to give up. However, this didn't mean that his heart had calmed down. The Demonic Evil Stone was a small matter, but his face was more important.
"200,000 mid-grade spirit stones going once, 200,000 going twice, 200,000 going thrice … sold!" The old man shouted several times before smashing his hammer down on the stage.
Soon, a beautiful attendant brought three pieces of Demonic Evil Stone to Ye Chen's VIP room. After paying enough mid-grade spirit stones, Ye Chen started to look at the Demonic Evil Stone.
The Demonic Evil Stone was an irregularly shaped crystal ore. Its shape was like coal, and its color was silver with a hint of black. Holding the Demonic Evil Stone, Ye Chen could feel a dark evil Qi penetrating through his arm and into his Sea of Soul.
"Its effect is 20% weaker than a normal Blood Evil Stone."
Ye Chen quickly distinguished the difference between the Demonic Evil Stone and the Blood Evil Stone.
The auction continued. During this period of time, Murong Qingcheng spent 45,000 mid-grade spirit stones to buy a pair of golden gloves that were emitting a seven-colored radiance. Mid-grade gloves had always been rare, but it also meant that it would be popular. After all, there were a lot of people who practiced hand techniques. In a situation where there were too many monks and not enough meat, the price would be obviously high. Normally, a mid-grade offensive weapon would not be more than 40,000.
"The 34th auction item is a Bodhi Bead. I believe that many people don't know the effects of the Bodhi Bead. Here, I will explain it to everyone. The Bodhi Bead is formed naturally. Not only does it have the effect of calming the mind, but it can also increase the user's power of understanding. Of course, this power of understanding is not permanent. Only by holding the Bodhi Bead can it temporarily increase the user's power of understanding."
On the auction stage, the old man explained while observing the crowd's expression.
Just as he expected, the atmosphere of the entire auction house suddenly heated up. Temporarily increasing the power of understanding was indeed an amazing property. Countless people were stuck at a bottleneck, unable to break through. If they had the Bodhi Bead, they might be able to reach a higher level in a short time. However, the ones who were tempted were still Astral Reaching experts. Sea of Soul realm experts had heard of the Bodhi Bead. In fact, the effect of the Bodhi Bead was to stimulate the soul power of Astral Reaching experts. Once the soul power was released, the power of comprehension would naturally increase. However, Sea of Soul realm experts could already release their soul power.
"The Bodhi Bead is useless to me." Ye Chen shook his head. Battle Emperor had once obtained a Bodhi Bead. Therefore, he knew the secret of the Bodhi Bead. His soul power was equivalent to a powerful Sea of Soul realm expert. He simply didn't need the Bodhi Bead to increase his power of understanding.
"Humph, it's just a Bodhi Bead. My Soul Sunder Sect has a Ten Thousand Year Ancient Tea Tree. It can also increase one's power of understanding. Moreover, I cultivate the Soul Sunder Divine Eyes, which can stimulate soul power. My power of understanding is much higher than ordinary people." Duan Lingyun disdained the so-called Bodhi Bead.
"The starting price of the Bodhi Bead is seventy thousand mid grade spirit stones. Each increment must be no less than one thousand mid grade spirit stones. The bidding begins."
The old man saw the anxious expressions of the crowd and revealed a faint smile.
"Eighty thousand."
"Ninety thousand."
"One hundred thousand!"
The crowd was too lazy to increase the price by one thousand, and directly increased it by ten thousand. Such a good thing was something they had never heard of before.
"One hundred and fifty thousand."
Murong Qingcheng's voice transmitted out.
"I don't need this Bodhi Bead, but there are many people who have their eyes on it. The price will rise to a high level." Ye Chen said.
"You don't need it?"
Murong Qingcheng was flabbergasted. She was the most worried about Ye Chen. Ye Chen's net worth was at least five hundred thousand, which was not something she could compare with. Unexpectedly, the other side had no intention of bidding. She couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief, rejoicing that she didn't bid for the Demonic Evil Stone. If she had, she wouldn't have enough spirit stones. Moreover, this Bodhi Bead would undoubtedly drive people crazy. Even two or three hundred thousand spirit stones would be in danger.
"Damn, are you going to let me live? Increasing the price by fifty thousand in one go."
The Bodhi Bead was good, but without sufficient spirit stones, it would be useless. This made some extreme Astral Reaching experts gnash their teeth in anger.
"One hundred and sixty thousand."
The facts proved that there were Astral Reaching experts with incomparably deep pockets. Especially the leaders of some dark forces, their wealth was all plundered.
"Two hundred thousand."
The one bidding was still Murong Qingcheng. Without Ye Chen bidding, she had nothing to worry about. The Bodhi Bead was something she had to obtain.
"Two hundred and ten thousand."
In the VIP room, a majestic middle-aged man shrouded in a black robe bid.
"Two hundred and fifty thousand."
Murong Qingcheng raised her hand again.
"VIP room number 398, I'll remember it. This Bodhi Bead will be mine sooner or later." The black-robed man gave up on bidding, not because he didn't have enough spirit stones, but because he didn't feel the need. As for the previous bid, it was purely because he didn't want any accidents to happen. After all, only when he got the item immediately would he feel at ease. Unfortunately, Murong Qingcheng increased the price by forty to fifty thousand each time, as if she wouldn't give up until she got the Bodhi Bead. This made him want to kill her. If he killed Murong Qingcheng, not only would he get the Bodhi Bead, he would also save a few hundred thousand mid grade spirit stones.
"Two hundred and seventy thousand."
The auction house went silent for a moment, then another bid was heard. It was from the three brothers. Individually, none of them had so many mid grade spirit stones. But, if they added them up, they would. In any case, the Bodhi Bead wasn't a one-time-use item, and could be used in turns. Of course, ordinary people wouldn't do this, since they wouldn't feel at ease. However, the three brothers were like brothers, and didn't have such worries.
"Two hundred and eighty thousand." Murong Qingcheng wasn't an idiot. When the price reached two hundred and seventy thousand, there was no one else bidding. There was no reason for her to continue increasing the price by forty to fifty thousand.
As expected, the three brothers gave up. They had a total of two hundred thousand mid grade spirit stones. Adding the two unused mid grade artifacts, they only had two hundred and seventy thousand. They didn't have the ability to increase the price any further.
With the Bodhi Bead in hand, Murong Qingcheng let out a sigh of relief. Coming to Extreme Yin Region was indeed the right choice. Not only did she obtain a glove type mid grade artifact, she also obtained an extremely rare Bodhi Bead. However, these two items had almost exhausted her entire fortune.
"Congratulations!" Ye Chen smiled.
Putting away the Bodhi Bead, Murong Qingcheng asked with interest, "Why don't you need the Bodhi Bead?" If the other party also needed it, her chances of obtaining it wouldn't be more than thirty percent. Even if she used her other items as collateral, it wouldn't be more than fifty percent.
Ye Chen said, "My comprehension is enough." Of course, he wouldn't say that his soul power was several times that of an ordinary person, equivalent to a Sea of Soul realm expert.
Murong Qingcheng looked pensive. She subconsciously thought that Ye Chen had a treasure similar to the Bodhi Bead.
"The forty-eighth item is a head-sized Demonic Evil Stone. The starting price is two hundred and fifty thousand mid grade spirit stones. Each increment must be no less than five thousand."
Just at this moment, the old man dropped a bomb. A Demonic Fiend Stone the size of a human head appeared on the stage. Based on a rough estimate, this Demonic Fiend Stone was at least fifteen times the size of the Demonic Fiend Stones that had been auctioned off earlier. It was silver with a hint of black light, causing everyone's hearts to beat faster.
"A head-sized Demonic Evil Stone … Haha, let's see how you're going to compete with me this time." Duan Lingyun couldn't help but sneer. At the same time, he was inwardly grateful to Ghost Moon. Without his reminder, he would've wasted his mid grade spirit stones on those three small Demonic Evil Stones.
Murong Qingcheng's eyes also brightened, but she immediately shook her head. Her fortune had already been exhausted, and she didn't have the qualifications to compete. With this thought in mind, she couldn't help but glance at Ye Chen, who revealed a faint smile.
