"Brother, we can't eat this Demonic Evil Stone alone. Why don't we join hands and split it?"
The cake was too big for one person. Many Astral Reaching experts in the ordinary seats began to rack their brains, sending Zhen Yuan transmissions to the people nearby.
"Then who should we give the spirit stones to? How can we be at ease? If you turn hostile, won't we suffer a double loss?" Someone asked. "This is simple.
You don't need to give the spirit stones to anyone. Just buy it. After buying it, everyone will hand over their spirit stones, then cut the Demonic Evil Stone in front of everyone. Everyone will split it. What do you think? "There was no problem in this world that couldn't be solved, and a problem that could be taken out wasn't a problem at all.
"This method is not bad. But, just the few of us are not enough."
"Don't worry, I've already contacted others. This Demonic Evil Stone is equivalent to fifteen times more Demonic Evil Stones. Inviting fifteen people is no problem at all. Then, each person will pay fifty thousand mid grade spirit stones. Fifteen people will be seven hundred and fifty thousand. Let me make it clear here. Those who don't have fifty thousand mid grade spirit stones will automatically withdraw. Of course, you can also pawn your things to the auction house."
"I have seventy thousand mid grade spirit stones. Give me a bit more when the time comes."
"Sure!"
All of a sudden, a lot of people thought of this method and contacted the Astral Reaching experts nearby. Those who didn't have enough wealth even invited more than twenty Astral Reaching experts who had the same wealth as them. Thirty thousand for each of them, twenty of them would be six to seven hundred thousand in total.
"Three hundred thousand!"
Finally, someone was the first to bid.
"Three hundred and fifty thousand!"
"Four hundred and fifty thousand!"
"Four hundred and fifty thousand!"
"Five hundred and fifty thousand!"
It was like a plague. The price rose by fifty thousand by fifty thousand, which made some people who didn't know anything dumbfounded. Since when were there so many rich people? Of course, there were also some people who noticed that something was wrong. They immediately came to their senses and contacted others.
The old man on the stage saw everything, but didn't make any move. For the auction house of Extreme Yin Region, as long as one could afford the price, it didn't matter what method one used. Even if one gathered several hundred or thousands of people, it was still one's ability. However, if one couldn't afford the price, then one had to apologize. At best, one would be punished as a warning to others. At worst, one would have to work for the auction house for the rest of their lives.
"Six hundred thousand."
"Six hundred and fifty thousand."
The price continued to climb, making the Astral Reaching Realm warriors in the VIP rooms frown. They had no choice but to contact the Astral Reaching Realm warriors in the nearby VIP rooms.
Murong Qingcheng said to Ye Chen, "I still have one hundred and thirty thousand Medial Grade Spirit Stones. I can lend them to you. However, from the looks of it, this Demon Fiend Rock will not be sold for less than eight or nine hundred thousand."
"You don't have to worry about that. I can still fork out 800,000 to 900,000 Middle Grade Spirit Stones." Ye Chen wasn't worried about others joining hands to bid for it. After all, no matter how good an item was, it would have a limit to its value. This Demon Fiend Stone might seem large, but if it was divided evenly, it would be less. Therefore, twenty people was the limit. If there were more than twenty people, then it would be meaningless. This little Demon Fiend Stone wouldn't have much use.
Moreover, the ones participating in the bidding were all peak Astral Reaching experts and Extreme Astral Reaching experts. They couldn't possibly not see how many people participating would be beneficial to them.
Hearing those words, Murong Qingcheng couldn't help but raise her eyebrows. Just how much wealth did the other party have? To be able to take out eight to nine hundred thousand, it seemed like it was more than that.
As Ye Chen expected, when the price reached 800,000, the number of people participating in the bidding had decreased by seventy percent, and the remaining thirty percent were still stubbornly holding on.
"Eight hundred and fifty thousand."
Duan Lingyun didn't expect that there would be so many people participating in the bidding. He was caught unprepared for a moment. By the time he came back to his senses, the price of the Demon Fiend Stone had already exceeded his net worth. Fortunately, Ghost Moon had lent him five hundred and fifty thousand Medial Grade Spirit Stones. Adding his own wealth, it had reached nine hundred and fifty thousand.
With eight hundred and fifty thousand Medial Grade Spirit Stones gone, the remaining thirty percent had decreased by seventy percent. There were less than ten people participating.
Ye Chen didn't bid. He liked to make the final decision. There wasn't much meaning in bidding right now.
"Eight hundred and sixty thousand."
Finally, the increment slowed down.
"Eight hundred and seventy thousand."
"Eight hundred and seventy thousand."
"Eight hundred and eighty thousand."
"Damn! Eighteen people joining hands and still can't take it down? What the hell is this?" In the ordinary seats, everyone quieted down. Only a few wealthy people in the VIP rooms were bidding.
"Nine hundred thousand."
Duan Lingyun couldn't hear Ye Chen's voice, so he thought that the latter had already given up. He felt a lot more carefree, thinking to himself, 'I'll take down the Demon Fiend Stone and give some to Murong Qingcheng. She'll definitely thank me, and their relationship will be much closer.'
"Nine hundred and twenty thousand."
The one bidding was an extreme Astral Reaching expert in the VIP room. His own wealth naturally wasn't that high, only a hundred thousand. He only dared to bid after joining hands with a dozen others. Unfortunately, many of them didn't have many spirit stones left. In the previous auctions, they had more or less won a few things.
Duan Lingyun sneered, "Nine hundred and fifty thousand."
"Forget it, let's not compete anymore. The other side is in the fifth floor's VIP room. There must be a Sea of Soul realm expert behind them. We can't compete."
At this moment, no one else increased the price.
Just as the old man opened his mouth, a clear voice rang out, "One million."
Absolute silence. The entire auction house was completely silent. One million … This was an amount that even some Sea of Soul realm experts couldn't take out. Although the previous nine hundred and fifty thousand was close to one million and not much different from one million, nine hundred and fifty thousand was nine hundred and fifty thousand, and one million was one million. The weight of the two was different in people's hearts. At least, the latter was more heart-shaking.
"It's that guy who bought the Demon Fiend Stone again. His wealth is too frightening!"
"Don't tell me he also contacted other Astral Reaching experts like us?"
"Regardless, his personal wealth is absolutely abundant. He had just used two hundred thousand mid grade spirit stones to buy three small Demon Fiend Stones, and now he's aiming for this head-sized Demon Fiend Stone. Someone without a bit of wealth wouldn't do this."
"B * stard, it's him again."
Duan Lingyun clenched his teeth. At the same time, he was astonished at where Ye Chen got his mid grade spirit stones from. Could it be that Murong Qingcheng lent him some? But, Murong Qingcheng had already spent more than three hundred thousand, so there shouldn't be much left. Of course, he must have borrowed some more. Thinking of this, Duan Lingyun's anger flared up. He couldn't help but turn his head to look at Ghost Moon, hoping that he would lend him some more.
Ghost Moon shook his head, "Lending you five hundred thousand is already my limit. But, even if I had more, I wouldn't lend it to you. You should think before doing things. Why compete with him in the auction? What's yours will be yours in the end. It can't run away."
"Supreme Elder, you mean …?" Duan Lingyun stared blankly for a moment, then thought of a possibility.
Ghost Moon smiled strangely, but didn't say anything.
Duan Lingyun's taut nerves finally relaxed, and he no longer made another bid. He thought to himself, 'Continue to be arrogant. When we leave the city, I'll personally challenge you and make you spit out everything you've got with interest. My Soul-Splitting Divine Eyes can only be used to their greatest effect in battle. I underestimated you that time.
Although the Soul Splitting Divine Eyes was very powerful in terms of eyes, combat power was combat power. It wasn't enough to rely on the eyes alone. If he knew that Ye Chen's sword intent was so powerful, he definitely wouldn't have used the Soul Splitting Divine Eyes to fight him. During a battle, Ye Chen's sword intent would only be used to amplify his attack, while his Soul Splitting Divine Eyes could affect Ye Chen's sword intent, greatly reducing his combat power.
Feeling that everything was under his control again, Duan Lingyun's mood was much better.
One million mid grade spirit stones had already exceeded everyone's psychological bottom line and wealth bottom line. No one had the heart to spare, so they could only watch as the Demon Evil Stones fell into Ye Chen's hands.
"These three Demon Evil Stones are for you." With the large Demon Evil Stones in hand, Ye Chen took out three small Demon Evil Stones and gave them to Murong Qingcheng.
Murong Qingcheng was actually thinking of buying the three small Demon Evil Stones from Ye Chen. She planned to borrow some mid grade spirit stones from the Supreme Elder, but who would have thought that Ye Chen would give them to her without any hesitation. Her beautiful eyes stared at Ye Chen, "These three Demon Evil Stones cost you two hundred thousand. That's not too good, right?"
"Then you can give me your mid grade spirit stones." Ye Chen didn't care about trifles. If he wanted to give, he would. What others did had nothing to do with him.
"Here are one hundred and thirty five thousand mid grade spirit stones."
Murong Qingcheng directly handed a low grade storage ring to Ye Chen.
Ye Chen didn't even look at it and put it away.
"Thank you!"
Holding the three small Demon Evil Stones, Murong Qingcheng's face revealed a faint smile. As far as she was concerned, this auction was already a perfect success. Not only did she obtain a glove type mid grade artifact, she also obtained a rare Bodhi Bead. Now that the Demon Evil Stones were in her hands, what else could she be dissatisfied with?
After the commotion of the large Demon Evil Stone, the auction stage began to surge like a storm. The following treasures were all things that left Astral Reaching experts dumbfounded.
"Fiftieth item, upper grade artifact Three Flower Scythe Spear, mid grade. The starting price is thirty thousand upper grade spirit stones. Each increment must be no less than one thousand upper grade spirit stones."
Not to mention other Astral Reaching experts, even Ye Chen couldn't join in. Thirty thousand upper grade spirit stones was something even ordinary Sea of Soul realm experts couldn't afford. And Ye Chen only had three thousand upper grade spirit stones, not even enough to buy a spearhead.
"Thirty two thousand!"
"Thirty three thousand!"
…
"Thirty eight thousand!"
The bidding of Sea of Soul realm experts was a lot more reserved. It wasn't that they didn't want to make the final decision, but that they didn't have that many upper grade spirit stones. Spirit stones were mined from spirit veins. Low grade spirit veins were the most abundant, followed by mid grade spirit veins. Upper grade spirit veins were few and far between. A sixth grade sect couldn't even occupy one, and had to divide it evenly among many sixth grade sects. If mid grade spirit stones could be mined in large quantities, then upper grade spirit stones wouldn't be mined in large quantities every year, unless they could find a new upper grade spirit vein. Of course, there was another method, and that was to search for ancient ruins. Some important ancient ruins would have a lot of upper grade spirit stones. Every time they appeared, the sixth grade sects would fight to the death. Occasionally, a fifth grade sect would intervene and take the majority.
In the end, this Three Flower Scythe Spear was bought by Old Man Sky Eagle for forty two thousand upper grade spirit stones.
After the Three Flower Scythe Spear, the most expensive item was a palm-sized Demonic Fiend Crystal, which could help Sea of Soul realm experts refine their martial soul. It was a top grade Demonic Fiend Crystal, and its entire body was like a crystal, unlike Demonic Fiend Stone, which was like a crystallized coal. The one who had the strength to buy it was naturally not an ordinary person. It was a Sea of Soul realm master, and its price reached eighty-three thousand upper grade spirit stones.
"The starting price of the next item is very low, but if it's real, then it's definitely worth it. Everyone should have heard of the legend of undying body before reaching Life and Death realm. This item is precisely related to the secret of undying body."
Undying body!
The old man's words immediately piqued everyone's appetite. From Clasping Yuan martial artists to Sea of Soul realm experts, not a single one of them didn't care. It should be known that undying body was the privilege of Life and Death Kings. If one could have an undying body before reaching Life and Death realm, then how frightening would that be? Among experts of the same realm, one would be almost invincible. With an undying body, one would be able to explore many dangerous forbidden areas.
