Even though the Purple Jade Essence was won by VIP Number 13, Ling Yun was indifferent. He was even secretly delighted. He had a feeling that as long as the Purple Jade Essence was in this woman's hands, it would belong to Ling Yun sooner or later.
Just by looking at the life-prolonging items that Number 13 had auctioned in the past three hours, Ling Yun knew that someone important to that woman must have contracted an incurable illness. That illness could only be cured by him.
Ling Yun was confident that as long as he could find this woman after the auction, she would obediently hand over the Purple Jade Essence to him after he showed off his skills in front of her.
It was just treating someone's illness. To Ling Yun, it was as easy as lifting a finger. He wouldn't be Ling Yun if he didn't take advantage of six billion.
Therefore, the Purple Jade Essence was already in Ling Yun's possession.
After that, the auction naturally continued. In the next hour of bidding, nothing caught Ling Yun's eye.
Number 13 made another bid. She spent two billion and won the Mind Cleansing Incense and Vitality Pill.
Up until now, He Yuqiong had spent more than thirteen billion in this auction!
Ling Yun, of course, was paying attention to her. From the items that she was bidding on, Ling Yun guessed that her family member must have contracted a mental illness. Otherwise, she wouldn't have bid on such items.
Mental illnesses were undoubtedly the hardest to treat. Hence, Ling Yun's confidence in obtaining the Purple Jade Essence was even greater.
In this hour, Number 2 and Number 3 made frequent bids. They mainly bid on a few weapons that could cut iron like mud.
These were things that could increase the strength of a family. If the price was right, the Liu and Tan Families would definitely fight for them.
Amidst the intense bidding, it was midnight in the blink of an eye.
Ling Yun couldn't help but stand up. He wanted to see what kind of auction item the Ye Family would bring out at this hour.
He saw a soldier of sacrifice from the Ye Family come to the auction stage with a long, black sword case in his hands.
The sword case was about a meter long and was obviously very heavy. The soldier of sacrifice carefully placed it on the auction stage.
"Another weapon?"
The expressions and movements of the Ye Clan's Death Warrior undoubtedly attracted everyone's attention. Everyone was secretly guessing. At the same time, their gazes and Divine Senses were fixed on the black sword box.
Even though the weapons that were up for auction were sharp weapons that could cut through metal like mud, the best ones could only tempt masters at the pinnacle of Xiantian Realm Level Eight. As for those in the Divine Power Realm, they definitely wouldn't be interested.
Still, there was no doubt that a divine-tier elite would be able to use it.
At this time, Xia Houming came to the stage and signaled the Ye Family's death warrior with his eyes to open the sword case. At the same time, he smiled and said, "The Ye Family's auction has been going on for four hours. I'm sure everyone is a bit tired. Let's let everyone feel the chill to cool down and refresh themselves."
Shua!
As the Death Warrior opened the sword case, countless chilling Sword Qi suddenly rushed out from the sword case and instantly filled the entire auction hall!
The bone-piercing sword aura and the terrifying murderous aura made everyone on the first floor feel as if countless sharp swords were stabbing at their bodies, bringing with them an unparalleled coldness that formed a sense of oppression. They had no choice but to use all of their strength to resist!
"Haha, this isn't a weapon. It's a meteorite from outer space, a naturally-formed Xiantian Sword Embryo!"
As he spoke, Xia Houming suddenly reached out and grabbed the black, thick and coarse Xiantian Sword Embryo. He lifted it up into the air!
"Weng!"
The body of the sword vibrated and actually let out a sword hum like the roar of a dragon!
Indeed, it wasn't a sword because it was too blunt and rough. It only had the shape of a sword, but it wasn't a sword yet!
Countless exclamations rang out in the auction hall because the Xiantian Sword Embryo's Sword Qi was too terrifying. Many people below the middle stage of the Xiantian Realm couldn't resist it at all!
"It's indeed a Xiantian Sword Embryo!"
Ling Yun was moved. Seeing this Xiantian Sword Embryo, Ling Yun was instantly delighted because his Clear Shadow Flying Sword could finally advance again.
Not only the Clear Shadow Flying Sword, but such a large piece of the Xiantian Sword Embryo could even be used as the physical body of the Yin Yang Astral Energy Sword, refining his own Natal Flying Sword!
To Ling Yun, who was eager to improve his strength, the Xiantian Sword Embryo was far more valuable than the Purple Chalcedony.
"Looks like I'll have to compete seriously with money this time."
After seeing the Xiantian Sword Embryo, Ling Yun finally stopped laughing. Money was a worldly possession after all. He had to save it when he needed to, but he couldn't care less when he needed to spend it!
"Xiao Meimei, get ready. I must obtain this Xiantian Sword Embryo."
Ling Yun didn't hesitate to send a telepathic message to Xiao Meimei.
"I'm sure everyone here has personally experienced how terrifying this Xiantian Sword Embryo is. If you use it to forge a sword, I think even I will have to avoid its sharpness!"
Xia Houming was all smiles as he purposefully reminded him. Then, his sly and cunning eyes inadvertently swept across the second floor.
This time, his target was Ling Yun's VIP Room 9.
Xia Houming thought to himself, "With this Xiantian Sword Embryo, I don't believe that Ling Yun won't make a move!"
He was right, but of course, he was wrong as well.
Ling Yun would definitely make a move, but he wouldn't do it himself.
"Ye Clan's auction, item 118, Xiantian Sword Embryo. The starting price is three billion, and each bid must be no less than three hundred million. Let the bidding begin!"
"Four billion!"
"Five billion!"
Two clans made a bid in an instant. Without a doubt, it was the Liu Clan and the Tan Clan. Because they didn't get the Purple Chalcedony earlier, they were determined to get their hands on the Xiantian Sword Embryo!
"Five and a half billion!"
VIP Room 15, the East Sea Rogue Cultivators Alliance, also made a bid. They were all Divinity realm experts, so they naturally knew what was good for them.
"Six and a half billion!"
In VIP Room 2, the Liu Clan made a second bid. This time, it was another one billion!
Even though he knew that the people in VIP Room 15 were all experts, he didn't know them at all. No matter what, he had to get his hands on the Xiantian Sword Embryo and give it to the Long Clan.
Liu Yuanzhi's bid was, of course, to intimidate his opponents so that he could spend less money. His limit was seven and a half billion. If he exceeded it, the Liu Clan would be out of money. That was because they had already spent more than five billion in the past four hours.
Six and a half billion. This bid successfully stopped the people in VIP Room 15, the East Sea Rogue Cultivators Alliance. When they saw the bid, they snorted coldly and gave up.
The East Sea Rogue Cultivators Alliance was located on the islands overseas. They had too little contact with the mainland, so their ability to earn money was naturally too poor. They were basically a bunch of paupers. Five and a half billion was their limit.
Otherwise, they wouldn't have wanted to bid for the secret map at such a low price. It was all for the sake of finding treasures and earning benefits.
"Seven and a half billion!"
In VIP Room 3, the Tan Clan had the same idea as the Liu Clan. Even if they wanted the support of the Long Clan, they had to prioritize it first and how much support they had.
"Ugh …"
Liu Yuanzhi cursed in his heart. Because the Tan Clan's bid of seven and a half billion was exactly the limit he had in mind.
It could be said that the Tan Clan had hit him where it hurt.
"Damn it, the Tan Clan sent this reckless fool Tan Ying to bid. So it's to deal with me!"
Liu Yuanzhi gritted his teeth. He stared at the innate sword embryo on the big screen. His eyes flickered, and in the end, he clenched his teeth and called out a number. "Eight billion!"
The bid was too crazy. It kept jumping from one billion to one billion. The bidders on the first floor were already dumbfounded. No one dared to participate as they watched the two clans increase the bid.
The huge auction hall was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop. There was not even the sound of breathing. It was obvious how tense the atmosphere was.
"Eight and a half billion!"
Tan Ying called out again. This time, he only increased the bid by five hundred million. He was familiar with Liu Yuanzhi and could roughly guess what he was thinking.
"Old Tan, you win. Although I know that this price has exceeded the limit of your Tan Clan, I'll give you face and let you have this innate sword embryo!"
Liu Yuanzhi admitted defeat. However, before he did so, he used his secret voice transmission to leave some harsh words to Tan Ying.
This was equivalent to giving face to the Tan Clan.
"Hehehehe … Thank you, Old Liu. The Tan Clan will definitely owe you a favor."
Tan Ying was so happy that he was about to burst. Naturally, he would not provoke the other party.
As for this bid, Tan Ying felt that he had spent at least five hundred million more, but he had won beautifully.
Half a minute passed, and no one else in the auction hall made a bid.
Eight and a half billion had already exceeded the previous sky-high price of the purple jade essence. It had exceeded two billion. Who would still fight for it?
After all, it was only an innate sword embryo. It could only be used by one person.
"Eight and a half billion going once …"
"Eight and a half billion going twice …"
Xia Houming called out very slowly. At the same time, he was very anxious. How was it possible that Ling Yun did not even want the innate sword embryo?
Could it be that our Ye Family sent you an invitation letter and invited you here just to watch the show?!
However, his divine sense could not penetrate Ling Yun's Little God Defense Formation. He could not see what Ling Yun was doing.
Xia Houming was very helpless and unwilling. He slowly brought the hammer down.
Tan Ying in VIP room number three was so happy that he couldn't help but throw his head back and laugh.
"Eight and a half billion!"
The bids on the four big screens suddenly changed again!
"Wow!"
This time, the bids ignited everyone's enthusiasm in an instant. Thunderous applause resounded in the auction hall!
Because it was number 958 again!
The most dazzling person in this auction, after winning the White Jade Peak honey and the map of the Mystic Realm, had actually made his move again after two hours of silence!
"Bam!"
In VIP room number three, Tan Ying slammed his fist on the coffee table in front of him, smashing it into pieces!
"F * ck …"
Tan Ying was about to curse out loud.
The other party's bid this time not only made the treasure fly out of his hands, but it was also only three hundred million. That was the lowest unit. This was a huge slap to his face!
"Mr. VIP room number three, you have to compensate for the damage to the items in the VIP room."
The female receptionist who helped him bid suddenly said in a neither servile nor overbearing manner.
"You don't have to tell me, I know!"
Tan Ying was so angry that he jumped up and appeared at the door in a flash. He used his divine sense to look at number 958.
Xiao Meimei sat there calmly, once again enjoying the feeling of being the center of attention. Her face was covered with a black veil, and her gaze was calm. She placed a finger on the bidding area and waited for the other party to bid.
Tan Ying looked at the thunderous applause below. He was very angry and wanted to bid again, but when he looked at the other party's hand that was ready to raise the bid, he instantly became discouraged.
Because only the two of them were left to bid, and the other party had used three heaven-defying successful bids to prove himself. Either he did not bid, or he did not back down.
The last point was, of course, that eight and a half billion had long exceeded the Tan family's psychological limit!
A minute later, Xia Houming struck the hammer, and the deal was done without hesitation!
"Once again, congratulations to number 958 for successfully winning the Innate-stage Sword Embryo! Just like before, you can enjoy a 10% discount on this auction item. Also, you have successfully obtained the VIP status of our Ye Family Auction House! "
