"Seven hundred thousand!"
"Seven hundred and fifty thousand!"
"Seven hundred and eighty thousand!"
The starting price of the Heart Protecting Flower was five hundred thousand upper grade spirit stones. The first bidder did not even think before adding two hundred thousand, as if he wanted to intimidate the others. Unfortunately, no one bought it. What a joke! The market price of a single Heart Nourishing Flower was close to three hundred thousand spirit stones. As an essential spirit flower for entering half-step King realm, how could anyone be intimidated by a mere two hundred thousand spirit stones?
"One million."
Yue Bingxin's aunt Yue Lingshuang raised her hand.
"One million one hundred thousand."
The next bidder was the Golden Lion Clan's young lord, Shi Shaobao.
"One million two hundred thousand."
Huang Mei also bid.
Ye Chen originally wanted to bid, but seeing Huang Mei's interest, he hesitated and put down his hand. Huang Mei had helped him once in the Mysterious Yin Tower. If she was determined to get the Heart Protecting Flower, Ye Chen decided to give it up. Of course, if the opposite party gave up on her own initiative, he would still bid.
"One million four hundred thousand."
This time, the bidder was none other than the brocade-robed old man from Glorious Exchanges, Manager He.
"Two million."
Yue Lingshuang was a millennium genius of the Silvermoon Whitefox Clan, so her wealth was definitely not small.
"Humph, three million."
Shi Shaobao sneered and added a million.
Murong Qingcheng didn't intend to bid and said with a smile, "It seems like this Heart Protecting Flower is going to reach a sky-high price."
"The rarer something is, the more valuable it is. Although the Heart Protecting Flower is only a semi extreme grade spirit stone, its value is definitely not limited to that."
Ye Chen said.
"Five million."
With a smile on her face, Huang Mei ruthlessly increased the bid by two million, shocking everyone in one fell swoop.
Five million high grade spirit stones was already not an ordinary number. The majority of Half step Kings didn't have that much wealth. Although the Heart Protecting Flower was very important to the sect and could increase the number of Half step Kings, sometimes one couldn't be so one-sided. Five million high grade spirit stones might be able to create more Half step Kings. After all, not everyone needed the Heart Protecting Flower to enter the Half step King realm. For example, if Ye Chen didn't want to enter the Half step King realm as soon as possible, he could wait for several months or even a year and a half. A year and a half was nothing to a Sea of Soul realm expert.
Therefore, even the arrogant Shi Shaobao gave up on bidding, as it wasn't worth it.
"Five million? Forget it. "
Yue Lingshuang also stopped bidding and looked at Huang Mei with interest.
"5.1 million."
The brocade-robed old man, Steward He, didn't want to give up yet.
"Five million five hundred thousand."
Huang Mei's expression was calm.
"Humph!"
Exhaling, Steward He leaned back in his leather chair and stopped bidding.
"5.5 million going once, 5.5 million going twice, 5.5 million going thrice, sold!" The auctioneer slammed his gavel, his face full of excitement. The Heart Protecting Flower was not something that could be found all the time. It was definitely out of his expectations that it could be sold for 5.5 million.
None of the following items were sold for more than 1.5 million, far less than the Heart Protecting Flower. The atmosphere in the auction hall also dropped slightly.
"The 42nd auction item is a set of top-notch high-grade artifacts. It consists of armor, greaves, boots, bracers, and gloves. The starting price is 2.5 million high-grade spirit stones."
After the Heart Protecting Flower, another heavyweight auction item appeared on the stage.
A single top-notch high-grade artifact wasn't enough for half-step Kings. However, a full set was a different story. In terms of defense, it surpassed the majority of half-step extreme grade artifacts. Apart from that, wearing a full set of artifacts would increase one's speed, attack speed, and offensive power.
"3 million."
Sure enough, many half-step Kings were moved. They didn't have a pseudo extreme grade artifact, so a full set of top-notch high-grade artifacts was naturally the best choice.
"3.5 million."
"4 million."
…
In the end, this set of artifacts was bought by a half-step King for 6 million.
…
"The 48th auction item is a pair of Purple Flame Demonic Light Gloves, a half-step extreme grade replica of the three most famous extreme grade gloves of the past hundred thousand years. The Blazing Divine Light Gloves contains the power of fire and darkness. Among all the half-step extreme grade artifacts, it is definitely a top-notch artifact, not inferior to the majority of pseudo extreme grade artifacts. The starting price is 8 million high-grade spirit stones, and each bid must be at least five hundred thousand high-grade spirit stones. The bidding starts now."
If a full set of top-notch high-grade artifacts was considered heavyweight, then the Purple Flame Demonic Light Gloves was super heavyweight. Just the fact that it was not inferior to the majority of pseudo extreme grade artifacts was enough to make half-step Kings go crazy. Not to mention, this pair of gloves contained the power of fire and darkness.
Just as the auctioneer's voice faded, Darklight King loudly said, "10 million."
"What? Darklight King is also bidding? Doesn't he have a pair of pseudo extreme grade gloves? "
Everyone was shocked.
"You guys don't know, but Darklight King only has one glove, and it's not complete. Moreover, the Purple Flame Demonic Light Gloves contains the power of fire and darkness. Darklight King's Zhen Yuan happens to be of the fire attribute, and he also comprehended fire profound. How could he not bid?"
"So that's how it is. It seems like this pair of gloves belongs to Darklight King."
"More or less!"
Be it in terms of wealth or strength, Darklight King was not someone ordinary could compare to. Even if he didn't threaten you, you wouldn't be able to compete with him. Moreover, if you provoked him, he might find an opportunity to kill you and seize your gloves.
Seeing Darklight King's bid, those who originally had some thoughts turned silent.
"Murong, it seems like we're going to have to contend with Darklight King again." Ye Chen laughed.
Murong Qingcheng also laughed and raised her hand, "12 million."
"You again."
Darklight King fiercely looked at Murong Qingcheng, his gaze cold and emotionless.
"What? Can't afford to play?"
Ye Chen flicked his fingers.
"Humph! 15 million."
Darklight King turned his head. He currently had thirty-four million upper grade spirit stones, and the other party had already spent more than thirty million. He didn't believe that he couldn't compete with Murong Qingcheng.
"16 million!"
This time, the bidder was not Murong Qingcheng, but a tall and sturdy square-faced man. This person had extremely long arms and thick palms. With a single glance, one could tell that his martial arts were extremely powerful.
"It's Crimson Fire King! This is going to be interesting."
This square-faced man was extremely famous in Gemstone Islands. He was one of the few experts under 'strongest' half-step Kings. He was equivalent to Jin Wanshuang, who had teamed up with Ye Chen a few months ago, or perhaps even stronger. Since Crimson Fire King dared to compete with Darklight King, he had to make a great decision. After all, the gloves were something that could only be chanced upon and not sought. Once he obtained them, his strength would definitely increase rapidly.
"18 million."
Murong Qingcheng didn't raise the price to an outrageous level. She felt that 20 million was more or less the bottom line of these people.
"19 million."
Darklight King hesitated for a moment before adding another million.
"19 million and five hundred thousand."
Crimson Fire King only added five hundred thousand.
"20 million!"
Murong Qingcheng made another bid.
"Damn it!" Darklight King glanced at Murong Qingcheng, and his eyes flickered. He actually stopped bidding, seemingly giving up.
Ye Chen observed his expression and naturally knew that Darklight King hadn't given up. Perhaps, this person planned to kill both of them. That way, he wouldn't have to pay any spirit stones.
"20 million and five hundred thousand."
Red Flame King fiercely gritted his teeth. His entire fortune was only eighteen million spirit stones, and some of his treasures could only be exchanged for three million spirit stones at most. This was already his limit. Any more and he would have nothing left. After bidding, he stared at Murong Qingchen.
"21 million."
Murong Qingcheng indifferently said.
Huff!
Heavily spitting out a mouthful of turbid Qi, Crimson Fire King's face flickered with anger, but he didn't say anything else.
"21 million going once, 21 million going twice, 21 million going thrice, sold! Congratulations to this young lady."
The auctioneer suddenly slammed his gavel.
Soon, someone delivered the Purple Flame Demonic Light Gloves, and Murong Qingcheng also paid 21 million upper grade spirit stones.
"I'll help you refine the soul imprint in these gloves!"
If Murong Qingcheng were to refine it, it would take several days. If Ye Chen were to refine it, it would take at most a cup of tea's time. It should be known that when he was at late Sea of Soul realm, he could refine the soul imprint of a half-step King in a short period of time. Now that he was at half-step King realm, although his soul power hadn't made any progress, its strength had increased several times.
To avoid any unexpected problems, Ye Chen decided to let Murong Qingcheng equip the gloves as soon as possible. Then, he would use the remaining time to familiarize himself with them.
The Purple Flame Demonic Light Gloves were a pair of black gloves with purple-gold veined patterns. It was soft and smooth to the touch, and didn't have much weight. On the back of the gloves was a purple flame pattern. Under the flowing luster, it seemed to be burning.
Receiving the Purple Flame Demonic Light Gloves, Ye Chen's soul power invaded and easily erased the soul imprint inside.
In less than a cup of tea's time, he succeeded.
Putting on the Purple Flame Demonic Light Gloves, Murong Qingcheng gradually branded her own soul mark on them. Only with a soul mark could the power of this pair of gloves be maximized.
While the two were busy, several items had already been auctioned off on the auction stage.
"The fifty-second item is a Sword Forging Art jade strip."
The auctioneer paused for a moment, took a deep breath, and loudly announced.
"Sword Forging Art!"
Ye Chen's eyes narrowed, flickering with a bright light.
The auctioneer continued, "This Sword Forging Art jade strip contains everything from low to semi extreme grade sword forging knowledge. It even contains a small portion of extreme grade sword forging knowledge. If one can master it thoroughly, it is not impossible to forge an extreme grade sword."
"What? It even contains the knowledge of forging extreme grade sword forging?"
Everyone in the auction house was shocked.
In the ancient era, forging artifacts was very developed. However, as time passed, a lot of knowledge was lost. In the modern era, the highest grade artifacts that could be forged were semi extreme grade artifacts. Moreover, only some super forces had the knowledge of forging extreme grade artifacts. Although it wasn't impossible for them to have knowledge of forging extreme grade artifacts, very few people had heard of it.
"Of course, to prevent people from thinking that my Golden Island Auction House is deceiving everyone, I will once again declare that this jade strip contains only a small portion of extreme grade sword forging knowledge. Moreover, it is very incomplete." The auctioneer didn't dare to speak too confidently. What a joke! Some of the people in the auction house had very deep backgrounds. If he spoke too confidently, the forces behind them would definitely come to the auction house.
