"Xingchen, does the Ye Family's auction have a good item every hour?"
At eleven o 'clock at night, another item that Ling Yun could use appeared on the auction stage. He was pleasantly surprised and couldn't help but ask Ye Xingchen.
Eight was the opening color, the Rainbow Inferno Mountain, nine was the supreme-grade Golden Black Devilish Silk, and ten was the White Jade Peak honey and the map of the mystic realm.
Ling Yun had already obtained three out of these four treasures. Even though he didn't personally bid for the last one, Ling Yun knew that the Li Family would deliver the fifteen kilograms of Golden Black Devilish Silk to the Ling Residence by tomorrow at the latest.
Moreover, if the Liu and Tan Families really chose to kill the Li Family tonight, they wouldn't even have to wait until tomorrow morning.
Ling Yun asked this because the Ye Family's auction was too regular. Every hour, there would be an auction item that caught his eye. Moreover, in his eyes, it was of astonishing value and he had no choice but to bid for it.
This included the purple chalcedony that was just brought to the auction stage!
Of course, at other times, the Ye Family's live auction items were also precious and rare. However, they were basically things that could be made or grown, such as weapons, pills, talismans, and spirit herbs.
Then, in another hour, at midnight, what would the Ye Family auction item? Ling Yun was looking forward to it.
He only heard Ye Xingchen explain with a smile, "Of course, because the bidding is so intense, many people are already numb to the bidding. Therefore, every hour or so, the Ye Family will bring out an item that can attract everyone's attention, in order to maintain the atmosphere of the entire auction …"
"I see. I understand now."
After listening to the explanation, Ling Yun nodded and didn't ask any more questions. Instead, he began to pay attention to the auction.
"As everyone knows, the essence of earth is stone, and the essence of stone is jade. Then, the essence of jade is naturally this chalcedony."
On the auction stage, Xia Houming began his sales pitch again.
"There are many types of chalcedony, and there are all kinds of colors. Correspondingly, their functions and effects are also emphasized. However, among all the colors of chalcedony, the rarest and most helpful to us cultivators should be the purple chalcedony."
Listening to Xia Houming's introduction, Ling Yun couldn't help but nod his head slightly. What Xia Houming said was generally correct. Different types of chalcedony had different effects. For example, the red chalcedony could be used as medicine and was helpful in the cultivation of divine sense; the blood chalcedony could improve one's blood and Qi, replenishing one's blood and Qi, greatly increasing the strength of a cultivator; the green chalcedony had exuberant vitality and gave one a strong life force …
However, among all the different colors of chalcedony, purple was the most expensive. Not only did the purple chalcedony have all the effects of the other chalcedonies, but it could also help cultivators build their foundation.
Purple Jade Essence was a type of supreme-grade spirit stone. Even in the cultivation world, it was one of the supreme-grade spirit stones used by the core disciples of the major cultivation sects to build their foundation.
Ling Yun was about to enter the middle stage of Qi Cultivation. According to his cultivation speed, he would be able to build his foundation in at most half a year. Therefore, he placed great importance on the purple chalcedony.
"With this purple chalcedony, not only can it increase the cultivation speed of us cultivators, but it can also allow an ordinary late stage Xiantian Realm master to break through to Xiantian Realm Level Nine and enter the Divine Art Realm in a short year!
"Furthermore, according to modern physics, this purple chalcedony can resonate with human brainwaves through a special frequency. It's the most useful for spirit cultivators!"
At this point, Xia Houming's gaze swept towards a room on the second floor, and the corner of his mouth curled up slightly.
Ling Yun's divine sense was strong, and he acutely noticed that Xia Houming's gaze swept towards VIP room 17.
There were three spirit cultivators in that VIP room because of the strong Yin Qi and murderous aura on them. Furthermore, their divine senses were very strong.
When Xia Houming said the last sentence, the faces of the three of them showed a fanatical expression.
Ling Yun's heart skipped a beat.
"Xingchen, do you think those skinny, dark-skinned people in VIP room 17 are from the Nanyang Wandering Cultivators Alliance?"
Ye Xingchen had naturally noticed those people long ago. She nodded thoughtfully. "Probably. I saw Xia Houming's introduction. These are the people he's targeting.
Also, from their figures and appearances, they should be from Nanyang. "
So they're here for the purple chalcedony, Ling Yun thought to himself.
Since the East Sea Wandering Cultivators Alliance was here for the secret map, then the Nanyang Wandering Cultivators Alliance must be here for the purple chalcedony.
Ye Xingchen smiled. "Why, are you interested in the purple chalcedony again?"
"I'm not determined to get it," Ling Yun said calmly. "Let's see how it goes. If the price is right, then we'll bid."
Ling Yun was speaking the truth. Even though Ling Yun valued the purple chalcedony, it was different from the Seven-colored Inferno Mountain. He wasn't determined to get it.
That was because when he saw the palm-sized chalcedony, he suddenly remembered something in his Cosmos Ring!
The Super Tanghulu!
Before the college entrance exams, when Ling Yun was at Physique Tempering Stage Eight, he found this treasure in the Lord of Jade's shop. This was the real King of Stones. It was a tanghulu skewered with five different colors of top-grade jade. Each of them was bigger than a basketball. It shocked everyone in Qingshui City's Antique Market!
That Super Tanghulu had a total of five colors — purple, white, yellow, red, and black. They were the five colors of top-grade jade.
Because Ling Yun was only at the pinnacle of Physique Tempering Stage Eight, he couldn't see through the interior of the top-grade jade. Moreover, the tanghulu didn't emit any spiritual energy, so Ling Yun completely ignored it.
But now that he thought about it …
There was a high possibility that there was a chalcedony inside the tanghulu! That was because a piece of top-grade jade bigger than a basketball was too rare. If there was no chalcedony inside, it wouldn't be able to form such a large piece of jade!
At the same time, Ling Yun thought of the huge imperial green stone king. Could there be a green chalcedony inside such a big and pure imperial green stone? If there was, how big of a Green Chalcedony would it be?
Thinking about this, Ling Yun was very tempted. He couldn't wait to take out the tanghulu and use the Clear Shadow Flying Sword to cut it open to take a look.
However, Ling Yun resisted the urge. This wasn't the place. Anyway, the tanghulu was in his spatial ring and couldn't run away. After the auction ended and he left, he could take a look at it at any time.
I have such a valuable treasure on me, but I don't know it. This is really the first time! Ling Yun mocked himself.
On the auction stage, after Xia Houming finished introducing the value of the purple chalcedony, he said, "Auction item 99, purple chalcedony. The starting price is one billion. Each increment must be no less than one hundred million. The bidding begins now!"
"Two billion!"
Before Xia Houming finished his sentence, someone immediately made a move. The price of the purple chalcedony doubled in an instant, increasing by one billion!
Surprisingly, it wasn't the guest in VIP Room 17 who made the bid this time, but He Yuqiong who was in VIP Room 13!
"Uh …"
Ling Yun was a little surprised. This purple chalcedony had nothing to do with treating illnesses. Why did you bid so high all of a sudden?
However, when his divine sense enveloped VIP Room 17, he realized that the three spirit cultivators weren't angry. Instead, they nodded in satisfaction. That was when he understood.
Needless to say, VIP Room 13 and VIP Room 17 were in cahoots.
"2.5 billion!"
"2.8 billion!"
Everyone on the first floor was stunned by the terrifying bid, but there were still two other distinguished guests who participated in the bidding!
"The Liu Family and the Tan Family."
Ling Yun looked at the bidding numbers on the big screen and smiled. "Looks like this is the gift that the Liu Family and Tan Family bought for the Long Family."
In the past hour, the Liu Family and the Tan Family had spent about two billion to bid for many Dragon Tiger Pills and Great Recover Pills. These things were very useful to the masters of their families.
It was obvious that the Purple Chalcedony wasn't of much use to these two families. It would be a waste if they used it on themselves. Therefore, Ling Yun guessed that they were bidding for it to be used as a gift.
"Four billion!"
VIP Room 13, He Yuqiong, made another bid. This time, it jumped to 1.2 billion!
Obviously, He Yuqiong was determined to get this purple chalcedony.
That was the truth. The three spirit cultivators in VIP Room 17 had followed her from the south for this purple chalcedony. They had personally promised that as long as He Yuqiong got the purple chalcedony and gave it to them, they would extend the life of He Yuqiong's grandfather.
Seeing the bid of four billion, Ling Yun shook his head and decisively gave up.
This purple chalcedony wasn't a necessity in Ling Yun's eyes. At most, it was worth three billion. He wouldn't spend a single cent more than that.
"4.5 billion!"
"4.8 billion!"
The Liu Family and the Tan Family were still bidding crazily.
However, it was obvious that they had lost to VIP Room 13 in terms of momentum.
"Six billion!"
He Yuqiong didn't even hesitate. She jumped to 1.2 billion!
"Motherf * cker, this woman is crazy!"
In VIP Room 3, Tan Ying was so angry that he smashed the teacup in his hand onto the floor.
Liu Yuanzhi looked at the shocking figure and didn't increase the bid anymore. He shook his head and sat down with a bitter smile.
"Congratulations to VIP Room 13. Six billion for the purple chalcedony!"
Xia Houming was naturally very satisfied with this price. He grinned and dropped the hammer, announcing the deal.
"Phew …"
In truth, He Yuqiong was sweating in her heart. She was afraid that Number 958 from First Floor would attack her again. It was only after Xia Houming announced the deal that she abruptly relaxed. Her graceful figure swayed a little.
With the purple chalcedony in her hands, even though her grandfather's illness couldn't be cured, it could extend his life for another year. This would give her more time to settle her family affairs and take back the initiative.
"Hmph! Both families are useless! "
At this moment, in VIP Room 1, a middle-aged man in his fifties, who had been sitting there drinking tea, snorted coldly in his heart.
This person was, of course, the representative of the Long Family.
… …
Thanks for the smoke signal, the flying sharks, the rushes! Generous rewards.
