"You …" The old man let out a cold snort before becoming silent.
But Lin Yun's words made many people secretly calculate …
'One, two, three, four, five, six, seven …'
'Damnit, aren't there only seven items left, including the Void Gem?'
'Then what did he mean …'
'A total of seven items, including the Void Gem …'
'Damnit, doesn't that mean that there's no one else left in this auction? That nouveau riche who throws millions of golds is going to pack up all the remaining items!'
'Hell …'
At this time, who knew how many people were beating their chests and stamping their feet. If they had known that such an abnormal nouveau riche would appear in this auction, they wouldn't have come even if they were beaten to death. What was the point of coming? To see how he was going to pack it up?
Moreover, he didn't even mention the Darkness Evil Python Skin that was being auctioned.
'Why?'
Without a doubt, it was already in his possession.
In fact, this was indeed the case. No one could compete with Lin Yun for 2,000,000 golds. That was a price that could make people despair. This time, the auctioneer didn't even bother to ask any questions. He directly counted down from three and slammed the hammer in his hand, directly announcing the completion of the transaction.
The next item to be auctioned was the Crystal Book Page.
No one knew who made that Crystal Page, as there wasn't even a detailed introduction. The auctioneer only vaguely mentioned that it had some mysterious power, and as for its origin, there was naturally no mention of it.
But this didn't affect everyone's enthusiasm for that Crystal Page.
After all, the mana fluctuations emitted by the page couldn't be hidden from anyone. That kind of shocking mana fluctuations wasn't something an ordinary alchemy item could possess. It was at least at the Spiritual Level, and it might even be at the peak of Spiritual Level. Such an item would never be sold for less than 1,000,000 golds in an auction.
Not to mention …
Lin Yun was also sitting in the auction hall.
Thus, just as the Crystal Page was taken out, Lin Yun directly stated his price.
"1,000,000 golds."
"…" Lin Yun's bid was met with silence in the auction hall.
This was too disgusting …
It was exactly one million gold coins.
There were hundreds of people sitting in the auction hall, and at least 80 of them had a price of 1,000,000 gold coins in mind. In other words, most of them believed that once the Crystal Page reached 1,000,000 gold coins, it would no longer have any value in bidding.
In the end, Lin Yun's bid was stuck at 1,000,000 gold coins …
This time, who knew how many people were disgusted by him …
That kind of feeling was like turning on the fast dial and taking out toilet paper, but suddenly the power went out. It was really a suffocating feeling in the chest, as uncomfortable as it could be.
At this time, many of the smarter guests had already begun to re-evaluate Lin Yun …
Originally, everyone thought that he was a nouveau riche who only knew how to throw money at people. However, this time, the price made them realize that this young man was not as simple as a nouveau riche.
Otherwise, how could the price be so accurate?
Coincidentally, he quoted a price that made everyone feel uncomfortable …
This insight wasn't something an ordinary nouveau riche could have.
Okland never lacked well-informed people. Soon, everyone gradually found out that this young man was called Mafa Merlin and had recently returned to the Merlin Family. He had been living in Thousand Sails City, and it was said that he was running a huge alchemy business in Thousand Sails City and had a terrifying amount of wealth in his hands.
Some people even found out that the reason the Merlin Family was so anxious to have him return was because of the wealth in his hands.
At this time, the auction hall was full of discussions.
They were all talking about the sudden return of Mafa Merlin.
Some meddlesome people even started discussing whether the appearance of this nouveau riche of Thousand Sails City would affect the competition for the position of Patriarch of the Merlin Family. Then, some sharp-eyed people discovered Ross Merlin next to Lin Yun, and thus, there were rumors that Ross Merlin and the nouveau riche of Thousand Sails City had joined hands to compete for the position of Patriarch of the Merlin Family.
At this time, the auction hall had become a market.
At this time, everyone's mind was no longer on the auction, but on that nouveau riche of Thousand Sails City.
Only a few people were truly focused on the auction.
For example, Lin Yun, or Hanson Charlotte …
"1,500,000 golds …" Hanson Charlotte's voice echoed from the private room on the top floor. "Youngster, I already said that Okland isn't Thousand Sails City. If you want to win this Crystal Page, it will depend on whether you have the ability or not …"
But …
What awaited Hanson was Lin Yun's unhesitant bid. "2,500,000 golds …"
"…" At this moment, even the onlookers who were discussing among themselves stopped their discussions and revealed a dumbfounded expression once again.
This was crazy …
At this time, it wasn't just Hanson Charlotte who wanted to persuade Lin Yun. Many people wanted to tell Lin Yun, 'Youngster, it's only a bid of 1,500,000 golds, it's a normal bid, it's not like it's a provocation, there's no need for such a big reaction …'
'Adding a million golds right off the bat, does it need to be so exciting?'
Even the onlookers couldn't bear to watch it.
There was no need to mention Hanson Charlotte's mood. Almost everyone could hear a violent cough coming from Hanson Charlotte's box. It was clear that he was quite angry.
But thinking about it …
In previous auctions, this kind of Crystal Book Page would only be sold for around one million gold coins. But this time, when the price had already reached one million and five hundred thousand gold coins, it was met with an even more unreasonable person who directly threw two million and five hundred thousand gold coins at it. That was as good as being smashed in the face with gold coins. Who wouldn't vomit blood if they were in that situation?
Although Hanson Charlotte was only a 9th Rank High Mage, he was already quite old and could be considered a person of virtue and prestige in Okland. Even the Patriarch of the Merlin Family, Ofran, had to call him brother. But now, he was being insulted by a junior, yet he only coughed out of anger. This could be considered very self-restrained.
Unfortunately, self-restraint couldn't change the outcome.
2,500,000 golds. Lin Yun won that Crystal Page without any dispute.
Then, it was like a hot knife through butter.
Lin Yun didn't care about golds, so he didn't meet any resistance for the remaining five ordinary auction items. He was like a hot knife through butter as he took the remaining five ordinary auction items.
Now, only the finale, the Star Gem, was left.
Once this finale item came out, the onlookers, who were no longer interested in the auction, once again turned their attention to the auction.
Although peak forces like the Black Tower and the Cloud Tower weren't participating in this auction, and there weren't any powerhouses like Joy or Nolan, those that could enter the auction hall weren't incompetent. At the very least, they would be at the level of Salen Charlotte.
With their insight and knowledge, how could they not know the value of this Star Gem?
In the legends, it was the last bit of essence left behind after a star fell. It had terrifying power, and just the value of the gem itself was comparable to a True Spirit Magic Tool. Not to mention, this gem had shocking growth potential. The biggest characteristic of the Star Gem was that it could absorb the power of stars. Whether it was used as a mana source or as a Magic Tool Core, it was an irreplaceable existence.
In other words, Magic Tools made from Star Gems would only become stronger and stronger.
In theory, it could even surpass the limits of True Spirit and evolve to the Extraordinary realm.
Any force obtaining a Star Gem meant that that force would have a treasure that could be passed down through the ages.
Especially the great families, their thirst for this Star Gem surpassed everything else.
The appearance of this Star Gem immediately triggered a bidding frenzy.
"2,000,000 golds!"
"2,100,000 golds."
"2,200,000 golds."
"2,500,000 golds."
"3,000,000 golds."
…
Sure enough, it was as Hanson said. This was Okland, and it wasn't that the other guests didn't have enough wealth, but rather that the auction item was worth it.
The auction hall, which had been quiet because of the appearance of the nouveau riche Lin Yun, finally became lively once again.
Very soon, the price of this Star Gem was pushed to 4,000,000 gold coins …
Moreover, new bids were still appearing nonstop …
"I bid 5,000,000 golds on behalf of the Charlotte Family!" Hanson, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke up once again. Along with the bid, Hanson sincerely warned, "Youngster, I already advised you that being too arrogant isn't a good thing. Do you really think that the Charlotte Family's wealth, accumulated over a millennium, can't compare to your Gilded Rose? Truly ridiculous, I'll let you see the foundation of a millennium-old family … "
Sure enough, Hanson really kept his word this time.
After the bid of 5,000,000 gold coins, Hanson Charlotte didn't stop. He kept on bidding, and soon, the price of the Star Gem was pushed to 7,000,000 gold coins.
At this time, the crazed bidding finally cooled down a bit.
It was quite a coincidence …
This time, the ones competing for this Star Gem were still Hanson Charlotte in the northeast corner, as well as the one in the middle of the box.
However, when the price of the Star Gem reached 8,000,000 gold coins, even the person in the middle of the private room began to think for a long time. Every time he made a bid, he would think for a long time.
After all, this price was already too high.
