"Seven hundred million, Tan Ying finally made his move. How generous!"
A forty-five-year-old man in VIP room number two spoke. His name was Liu Yuanzhi, one of the most outstanding figures in the Liu Family.
This man was tall and slender. His skin was fair, and his eyes were long and narrow. His gaze was sinister, and his lips were thin, giving off a cold and unkind feeling.
Liu Yuanzhi was at the pinnacle of Xiantian Realm Level Six and was the brains of the Liu Family. He led the other three members of the Liu Family to participate in this auction.
"Come back and sit down. There's no chance for the opening auction below one hundred and twenty million."
Liu Yuanzhi used telepathy to call back the other three at the door. They were all mid-stage Xiantian Realm masters.
"Since the Tan Family has made their move, we won't be in a hurry to bid. Let's wait and see how much the Tan Family is willing to spend," Liu Yuanzhi said.
Because the Ling Family had destroyed the Sun-Chen Alliance, the seven big families in Beijing had two empty spots. The Liu Family and the Tan Family wanted to rise up. They would definitely cooperate in the short term, but it was inevitable that there would be competition.
The Ling Family had regained their position as one of the top three families in Huaxia. That was a title that Ling Yun had won through many bloody battles. It was a thrilling and dangerous journey. After going through the test of blood and fire, it was a publicly recognized position.
Although the Liu family and the Tan family had the power to rise, it was impossible for them to become one of the seven great families quietly. Even if the Ye family and the Long family secretly supported them, it would be useless. No one would approve of them.
It was impossible to think about it without spending a lot of money.
Hence, the Liu Clan and the Tan Clan were now full of energy. They wanted to make use of the Ye Clan's auction this time to build momentum in front of thousands of ancient martial arts experts and raise their clan's prestige. At the same time, they could also bid for large amounts of scarce resources. They could cultivate when needed and send gifts when needed.
"Eight hundred million!"
The Liu Family didn't make a move, but VIP number thirteen made a move. It was that ordinary person. He didn't give in.
"Nine hundred million!"
In VIP room number three, the representative of the Tan Family, Tan Ying, raised the bid to nine hundred million without hesitation.
Tan Ying was tall and sturdy like an ox. He wore a short purple robe, and his face was covered with sideburns. His eyes were as big as copper bells. With one look, one could tell that he was a domineering and mighty person, more like a hero of the pugilistic world.
"Nine hundred million, damn!"
In VIP Room 9, Ling Yun looked at the jumping numbers on the big screen. He was a little shocked. It was too fast. In the blink of an eye, it was said that there would be at least a ten million increment, but it was always a hundred million increment.
Ling Yun couldn't help but turn his head to look at Ye Xingchen, who was still sitting lazily. Frowning, he asked, "The bid has already reached 900 million. This should be considered a big year for the Ye Clan's auction, right?"
Ling Yun's calculations were very clear. The bid for the opening lottery had already reached 900 million, but there were a total of four bidders.
He knew very well that it was impossible for these four clans to know the true value of the Seven-colored Flame Mountain. They were bidding purely to save money for the upcoming auction.
Other than the Liu Clan, who stopped bidding after bidding 200 million yuan, the other three clans, the Li Clan, No.13, 800 million yuan, and the Tan Clan, 900 million yuan. If they were multiplied by ten times, it would be 23 billion yuan!
And this was just the beginning!
Ye Xingchen sat lazily, not really paying attention to the jumping numbers on the big screen. She said coquettishly, "It's definitely a big year. Who asked you to wipe out both the Sun and Chen Clans in one go? With so many tigers competing, the opening lottery this time might even break the previous record. The Ye Clan is going to make a fortune. "
Ling Yun's face instantly darkened.
"Why, do you really want this opening lottery? I'll help you bid. "
As she spoke, Ye Xingchen's lazy expression changed, and she actually looked like she was about to stand up. In that instant, the domineering and domineering expression on her face actually mesmerized Ling Yun!
"No need, no need!" Ling Yun hurriedly stopped her with both hands. Alright, he clearly felt that if Ye Xingchen went up to raise the bid, it would probably directly exceed two billion!
Ling Yun thought to himself that his future wife was really much more domineering than him, but even if he had money, he shouldn't spend it like this.
"1.1 billion!"
In VIP Room 4, the Li Clan made their move again. They were very generous. Up until now, the Li Clan's bids had directly jumped to 200 million!
It was a perfect demonstration of what it meant to be rich and overbearing!
"It broke one billion!"
Many people in the auction hall on the first level exclaimed, especially the newcomers. Never in their wildest dreams would they have imagined that the competition at the Ye Clan's auction would be so fierce, and this was only the first auction item.
In less than a minute, the opening lottery's price had actually increased by ten times!
This was very frightening. One had to know that up until now, no one in the auction hall on the first level had made a bid.
"Hmph! The Li Clan is practically asking for it! "
As soon as the bid of 1.1 billion was made, VIP Room 3, Tan Ying's expression instantly turned ugly. He immediately let out an angry snort, and his cold gaze swept across the room next door.
As long as the Tan Clan could successfully ascend to become one of the new Seven Big Families in Beijing, it was very obvious that their overall strength would instantly surpass the Li Clan, and they would replace the Li Clan's position, or even trample them underfoot.
Therefore, as long as the Tan Clan made a bid, the Li Clan would immediately jump to ruthlessly crush their opponent. Here, they were throwing money, but what they were fighting for was their future position!
In order to ensure that the Ye Clan's auction was fair and just, even though the invitation only had a number written on it and not a name, when the bids were made, the big screen would definitely show which number was making the bid at the same time. This was a must.
In this kind of situation, for competitors who did not know each other and did not understand each other, it actually did not matter. Everyone was just competing for money. However, for bidders who knew each other inside out, it was very complicated. It would not be an exaggeration to call it a raging storm.
Who was the opponent, who was giving face to who, who was suppressing who — as long as they knew each other inside out, it would be clear at a glance!
"Heh heh, this kind of bidding is really satisfying. If the owner of the opening lottery at this time could also put up a shill, it would be even more perfect …"
With regards to the Li Clan's move, Ling Yun did not have a dark expression this time. He sighed in amazement as he spoke to the other four people in the room at the same time.
Unexpectedly, Ye Xingchen shook his head. "It's very difficult. The Ye Clan's auctions rarely have people looking for shills to raise the price."
Ling Yun asked in surprise, "Why?"
"Because of that twenty percent processing fee!" Ye Xingchen explained with a smile. "The Ye Clan has fully considered this point. Whoever wants to auction something and then secretly finds someone to raise the price, they will have to complete the transaction and buy their own bidding item. Not only will the item not be sold, but they will also have to pay a twenty percent processing fee."
"At such a price, twenty percent processing fee is not a small amount …"
"Unless one has absolute confidence in the item they want to auction and fully understands the needs and psychology of their competitors, only then would they dare to play this game. Otherwise, the gains do not make up for the losses."
Ye Xingchen finished speaking and giggled, rolling her eyes at Ling Yun. She was still so naughty.
"Haha …" Ling Yun could only laugh dryly and explain awkwardly. "I was just saying …"
Indeed, the Ye Clan's bid this time shocked their competitors. Within half a minute, no one else made a bid.
Ling Yun stared at the electronic screen and thought to himself, It should be my turn now. Even though he didn't have much of a relationship with the Li Clan, he was determined to get the Mountain of Flames. He wouldn't give face to anyone.
In VIP Room Three, Tan Ying's expression was very ugly. The Tan Clan was prepared to spend about ten billion to participate in this auction. If the opening prize exceeded one billion, it wouldn't be worth it.
That opening prize was indeed useless to the Tan Clan. They only wanted to pick it up for free and gift it to the Long Clan.
"1.2 billion!"
But in the end, Tan Ying still gritted his teeth and added another hundred million. No matter what, he couldn't let the Li Clan beat them.
However, this 1.2 billion was already the Tan Clan's limit.
"1.3 billion!"
Who knew that the moment the Tan Clan made their bid, someone else immediately made another bid, adding another hundred million! It was VIP Room Thirteen again.
"Pfft …"
Tan Ying was so angry that he almost vomited blood. He thought to himself, How f * cking unlucky! Why did our Tan Clan's bids always get rejected in seconds?
However, 1.2 billion was the Tan Clan's limit. Hence, even though Tan Ying was angry, he could only silently admit defeat.
"1.4 billion!"
The Liu Clan in VIP Room Two, who had been silent since the first bid, finally made their bid again.
Countless people in the auction hall on the first floor exclaimed!
Liu Yuanzhi's eyes were like a fox's, and a sly smile hung on his face. He didn't care whether the Liu Clan could get the opening prize or not, but his two bids at least brought the Liu Clan a full house. At the very least, he crushed their direct competitor, the Tan Clan. At the same time, he also made the Li Clan and VIP Room Thirteen suffer losses.
Of course, 1.4 billion was also the Liu Clan's limit. They had their own set items that they wanted to buy, and they roughly had their own price range.
After the Liu Clan made their bid this time, the electronic screen didn't move for a long time. After more than half a minute, Xia Houming on the auction stage was already shouting. VIP Room Two made a bid of 1.4 billion, going once.
"1.45 billion!"
Another bid. It was the Li Clan, but they only added fifty million this time. Clearly, this was close to the Li Clan's limit.
"Give up!" Seeing the Li Clan's bid, Liu Yuanzhi decisively chose to give up. He wouldn't spend a cent more than he should.
"1.5 billion!"
Another fifty million, and it was Room Thirteen again!
The crowd was in an uproar. Many people on the first floor, as well as hundreds of divine senses, scanned VIP Room Thirteen at the same time.
"He's just an ordinary person, and yet he's so determined to get the opening prize?"
"Is he crazy?!"
"He doesn't even give face to the Liu Clan, the Tan Clan, and the Li Clan. Who is this person?"
Many people exclaimed. On the second floor, those big shots who knew the identities of VIP Rooms Two, Three, and Three were even more puzzled.
The Li Clan remained silent and didn't raise the bid again.
On the auction stage, Xia Houming was calm. His divine sense covered the entire venue, and his cunning eyes subconsciously glanced at VIP Room Nine on the second floor.
"Everyone says that the kid from the Ling Clan is wild and domineering, and he loves to be in the limelight. How can he not make a move at this time? How strange. "
Others didn't know the identity of Ling Yun in VIP Room Nine, but the key figures in the Ye Clan knew. As the host of the auction, Xia Houming naturally knew.
Of course, he also knew the identity of the mysterious VIP Room Thirteen. He also knew how much the other party would spend in this auction, so he wasn't surprised that VIP Room Thirteen was willing to bid 1.5 billion.
"1.51 billion."
Another half a minute passed, and Xia Houming had already shouted twice. Just when everyone thought that the opening lottery would be won by VIP No.13 with a price of 1.5 billion, the price on the electronic screen changed again.
At the same time, the bidder's number was clearly and conspicuously marked under the bid of 1.51 billion.
Number 958.
Ling Yun finally made his move!
