"It didn't break two billion. Not bad."
After obtaining this treasure, which was coveted by both Transcending Tribulation Stage and Ascending Stage experts, Ling Yun was all smiles.
This time, he was truly happy. His heart was shining brightly, and he was absolutely satisfied. This was because he had truly profited greatly!
Winning was a given. Other than Ling Yun, no one else knew the value of the Seven-colored Flame Mountain.
Only Ling Yun knew the value of the Seven-colored Inferno Mountain, especially to him.
The Five Elemental Flames would become the Yin-Yang Five Elemental Flames. This was the flame that alchemists and blacksmiths dreamed of!
Moreover, it came at the right time. Ling Yun had just reached the peak of Qi Cultivation Stage Level 3. In the future, he would naturally conduct large-scale alchemy or blacksmithing. At that time, he would no longer need other flames. He only needed to spit out the Yin-Yang Five Elemental Flames. Moreover, the alchemy or blacksmithing he refined would be three levels higher than under normal circumstances.
Moreover, the Yin-Yang Five Elemental Flames were of great use to Ling Yun's own cultivation. The benefits were endless and innumerable!
Ling Yun knew that the expert who was infinitely close to ascending had used a terrifying amount of money, immortal spiritual meridians, and more than ten of his famous magical treasures to defeat all his competitors with difficulty and take the Rainbow Flame Mountain into his own pocket.
It was the same Mountain of Flames, but compared to the price spent by the Ascension Stage expert, Ling Yun's two billion was not even worth mentioning. He picked it up for free!
Not to mention two billion, even if he had to spend two hundred billion, or even two trillion, Ling Yun would still obtain the Mountain of Flames.
Everyone else bidding was just to save money. Only Ling Yun was determined to get it at all costs. He had schemed against the unsuspecting, so of course, he succeeded.
Moreover, since he had seen the Mountain of Flames, even if the owner wanted to go back on his word, he had no choice but to sell it. Ling Yun had to snatch it even if he had to.
Apart from Ling Yun, anyone who took it tonight would die!
Of course, now that he had obtained it, there was naturally no need for all these.
With one item in hand, there was nothing else to ask for. This was how Ling Yun felt at the moment.
"Look at how happy you are. Isn't it just a rare thing? It doesn't help with cultivation. Really."
When Ye Xingchen saw that Ling Yun had successfully obtained the treasure, he was grinning from ear to ear and couldn't help but tease him.
Of course, she was happy for Ling Yun. Money didn't matter to her. As long as Ling Yun was happy, anything was fine.
"Hehe, you don't understand. I saved money, so of course I have to be happy."
Ling Yun chuckled and responded casually. The Seven-colored Volcano of Flames was too valuable. He couldn't reveal the real reason for bidding before he actually got his hands on it.
It wasn't that he didn't trust Ye Xingchen, but he was afraid that there was an even more powerful expert whose consciousness could break through his Minor Divine Defense Formation and eavesdrop on his Secret Voice Transmission. That would be terrible.
Ling Yun was not afraid of thieves stealing, but he was afraid of thieves remembering.
"Xingchen, after the auction is over, investigate the identity of the woman in VIP room 13. She made me spend an extra 500 million. I have to find a way to make up for it."
Thinking about the intense bidding just now, Ling Yun was a little annoyed. Even though it was an exaggeration to say that he spent an extra five hundred million, it was obvious that the woman had made him spend at least two hundred million more.
"Got it."
Ye Xingchen's beautiful eyes sparkled with divine light. Her disdainful gaze disappeared in a flash.
In the end, He Yuqiong had increased the price crazily. Ye Xingchen was already unhappy without Ling Yun's reminder.
"But does Xiao Meimei have enough money on her for two billion?"
Ye Xingchen finally asked.
This made Ling Yun even happier. He chuckled and said, "Of course, I have plenty. Don't worry."
In the afternoon, Ling Yun got Xiao Meimei to contact Tang Meng and get him to transfer the fifteen billion that Ling Yun had extorted from Ye Tianshui to Xiao Meimei's secret account.
In addition to the five hundred million that Ling Yun had transferred to her, Xiao Meimei had at least fifteen billion on her now. How could it not be enough?
Just the thought of using the money that originally belonged to Ye Tianshui to bid for items at the Ye Family's auction house made Ling Yun extremely happy. This feeling couldn't be any better.
Of course, he couldn't just use the black card that Ye Tianshui had given him. If he did that, not only would Xiao Meimei's identity be exposed, but her relationship with Ling Yun would also be exposed.
If that happened, other than causing the Ye Family to vomit blood in anger, Ling Yun wouldn't be able to play around anymore even though it wouldn't be a big deal.
After the opening auction, the auction continued.
This time, the auction item was the Body Tempering Liquid that could be used by even those in the Divine State. According to Ye Xingchen, this was a Body Tempering Liquid specially refined by the experts of the Heavenly Team. Ling Yun immediately lost interest when he heard that. He was about to join the Heavenly Team. There were six slots, and all of them would receive double the salary. He definitely wouldn't be lacking in the future.
Moreover, he had just crushed the two Great Elders of the Heavenly Team last night and extorted a year's worth of salary from fourteen of them. Who knew how much Body Tempering Liquid he would have?
The moment the Body Tempering Liquid appeared on the stage, it was immediately snatched up by people from the first and second floors. In an instant, the price had reached eighty million per bottle, and the bidding was still ongoing.
However, Ling Yun didn't care about any of this. He just chatted casually with the other four people and waited patiently for the auction item that he needed to appear.
Amidst the continuous hubbub, the auction passed by quickly for an hour. Xia Houming's hosting ability was very strong. Whether it was the introduction of the auction items or the bidding, he was extremely proficient. Basically, he could get the auction items to sell for sky-high prices.
"This auction is really profitable. It's too fast, it's practically a robbery …" Ling Yun sighed.
In just an hour, the auction house had already auctioned off twenty auction items. Excluding the opening auction, a rough estimate of the total value of those items had already exceeded twenty billion.
The auction commission was twenty percent. That was a profit of four billion! What could he do to earn four billion in an hour?
Ling Yun thought to himself that he had to set up the Ling Family's own auction house as soon as possible. It was really too profitable.
"The next item to be auctioned is the Golden Black Devilish Silk!"
Hearing Xia Houming's shout, Ling Yun immediately stopped chatting and focused on the auction stage.
This was Ling Yun's goal for this trip. He was determined to get it, so of course, he had to pay attention.
Xia Houming first gave a detailed introduction of the Supreme Grade Golden Black Devilish Silk and finally said, "This time, there is only a total of 36 jin of Supreme Grade Golden Black Devilish Silk, which is a small amount. Moreover, this old man already knows that there are a few important customers who want to buy all of these 36 jin of Devilish Silk. Therefore, this time, our auction house can only auction these 36 jin of Devilish Silk together."
As soon as these words came out, the hall on the first floor was filled with complaints.
These people were mainly Xiantian Realm masters. They were all specially here to bid for the Golden Black Devilish Silk. After all, it was difficult to be damaged by swords and knives. After being made into clothes and worn, it would greatly increase one's defense. Whether it was in battle or when going on an adventure, it would be an additional layer of protection.
Xia Houming had long expected that there would definitely be a lot of complaints. Therefore, he immediately cupped his fists and said, "I know that this will make some people unhappy. However, this time, there's really no other way. I hope that all the heroes here can understand."
Even though Xia Houming cupped his fists, there wasn't much apologetic on his face. In fact, towards the end, he even released the powerful aura of a Divine Realm master and suppressed it towards the place where the complaints were the most.
This was how a big shop bullying its customers came about.
Obviously, between these individual customers and the VIP guests on the second floor, anyone would do the same. Otherwise, wouldn't they be offending their own big customers?
There were many individual customers, like carps crossing the river. However, if the VIP guests on the second floor were to be lost, then the Ye Family would suffer a huge loss.
Indeed, in the pugilistic world, strength spoke louder. With a little pressure from Xia Houming, those complaints instantly disappeared without a trace.
Only then did Xia Houming's expression relax and he said with a smile, "Of course, our Ye Family Auction House won't treat everyone unfairly. After this auction is over, as long as there's a need for Golden Black Devilish Silk, you can leave your name at our Ye Family Auction House. When we hold our next auction, as long as you come to bid, we'll definitely treat you generously. I guarantee that you'll be satisfied."
After saying that, Xia Houming paused for a moment and immediately said, "Supreme Golden Black Devilish Silk, a total of 36 catties. The starting price is 1.8 billion, and each increment can't be lower than 200 million. The bidding begins now!"
Xia Houming had a card up his sleeve and immediately announced the start of the auction.
"3.6 billion!"
In VIP room number two, Liu Yuanzhi of the Liu Family made his move again after spending 3 billion for 30 bottles of Body Tempering Liquid.
It was done in one go!
Ye Xingchen had said that normally, this Golden Black Devilish Silk had a relatively stable price, which was around 100 million per jin. The Liu Family had directly bid 3.6 billion, which meant that they didn't want to waste any more time and were determined to get it.
"4 billion!"
Tan Ying of the Tan Family in VIP room number three didn't back down and actually jumped the price by 500 million.
"Looks like this Liu and Tan Families are really ambitious …" Ling Yun sighed in his heart.
Both families were fighting to get their hands on the Supreme Golden Black Devilish Silk. It was obvious that their goal was the same as Ling Yun's. They wanted to strengthen their family's power and overall combat power.
"5 billion!"
The Li Family also made their move. In the previous hour, they had spent more than 2 billion on many weapons and elixirs. Now, they actually jumped the price by 1 billion, completely crushing the Liu and Tan Families.
"Damn, they're completely crazy!"
Ling Yun was very angry. How many Xiantian masters did the Li Family have? What was the point of buying so much Golden Black Devilish Silk?
However, there was no other way. This was an auction, and people came to bid. No one could stop them.
Ling Yun's divine sense enveloped the Li Family's VIP room. Just by looking at the expressions in the eyes of the few people present, he knew that the Li Family was definitely staking it all on this one throw. They were determined to get the Golden Black Devilish Silk.
"Xingchen, I think we should give up on the Golden Black Devilish Silk this time. The Li Family is definitely determined to get it. If we go all out against them, it would be too much of a loss. It's not worth it."
Ling Yun saw the Li Family gritting their teeth, and his first decision was to give up.
Looking at the Li Family's stance, it was possible that they would bid more than 8 billion this time. That was equivalent to more than double the normal price.
Ling Yun knew that the Li Family had prepared at least 15 billion according to their final bid during the opening auction.
It wasn't that Ling Yun was afraid of spending money, but he knew very well that after crushing the fourteen people from the Heavenly Team last night, the Ling Family had truly gained a foothold in Beijing.
Therefore, with his means, he now had enough time to rapidly increase the strength of the Ling Family. They didn't necessarily have to rely on increasing their defensive power.
"Why?!" Ye Xingchen suddenly stood up with a swoosh. Her eyes were filled with disdain as she sneered, "Isn't it just money? I'll do it this time! "
"Uh …"
Suddenly, Ling Yun and Ye Xingchen, one sitting and one standing, looked at each other and smiled.
A smile tugged at the corners of Ye Xingchen's mouth as he said in high spirits, "Since that's the case, then there's no need to fight anymore …"
As it turned out, the two people's divine senses were powerful, and they both enveloped the Li Family's VIP room number four. They heard the same words at the same time.
"You Jun, you just have to increase the price. The old man has already said that no matter what price our Li Family has to pay, we have to buy this Golden Black Devilish Silk and give it to the Ling Family to obtain their protection!"
The Li Family's brazen action, crazily bidding for the top-grade Golden Black Devilish Silk, was actually to gift it to the Ling Family!
So he was one of us …
