Everyone could see that Feng Ling's bid would push the auction into a stalemate. If both of them increased the price by one tael of silver each time, then …. At the same time, with the status and grudges between the two, it was destined that neither would take the initiative to give in. If this continued, the situation would be the two of them kicking the same ball back and forth, who knows how long it would take.
"Twelve million and three taels." As expected, he said leisurely. He was not the slightest bit surprised, as if he had already guessed that Feng Ling would make such a bid.
"Twelve million and four taels." Feng Ling was also calm and unhurried. His originally stiff face relaxed, completely calm and unruffled, without the slightest bit of anxiety.
"Twelve million and five taels."
"Twelve million and six taels."
"Twelve million and seven taels."
"Twelve million and eight taels."
… …
… …
The hall was so quiet that only the voices of the two could be heard. Under the strange gazes of the crowd, the bids of Ye Wuchen and Feng Ling continued to rise. However, they only increased by one tael each time. Half a day had passed, and the voices of the bidders had not stopped. However, the price had only increased by a dozen taels of silver.
This secret struggle had already begun to evolve into a farce. The increase of one tael of silver each made everyone's heart feel incomparably uncomfortable. Among them, the one who felt the most uncomfortable was undoubtedly the XiMen family. Standing on the stage, XiMen Qing wanted to say something but stopped himself. The muscles on his face constantly twitched, and the three black lines on his forehead could not be any clearer.
"Twelve million and twenty-nine taels."
"Twelve million and 30 taels."
"Twelve million and thirty-one taels."
The two of them did not panic, as if they did not notice that the atmosphere of the auction had become strange because of them. At this moment, a loud voice suddenly sounded:
"Fifteen million!" Qian Gun Gun raised his sign, then quickly lowered it again. He did not even look at the gazes of the people around him, and began to close his eyes to rest. The richest person in the world finally could not hold it in any longer, and broke this strange stalemate. If it was like before, only Ye Wuchen increased the price by one tael each time, then his interference would inevitably offend Ye Wuchen. But this time, his bidding helped the two of them to get out of this awkward situation.
Some people heaved a sigh of relief, while others sighed that a good show had been ruined. Ximen Qing heaved a long sigh of relief and promptly interrupted, "Now, the price is 15 million silver taels. Is there anyone else who wants to increase the price?"
Ye Wuchen did not answer. He waved his fan and did not speak. After a brief silence, Ximen Qing had already raised the Little Golden Hammer in his hand. Feng Ling could no longer keep his cool and shouted, "Twenty million taels."
Facing Qian Gun Gun, he couldn't just add one tael, or else he would lose face. Even though he was the Crown Prince of the Great Wind Kingdom, he was not stupid enough to offend the richest man in the Tianchen Continent. Feng Ling once again raised the price to another level. He said in frustration, "If I miss out on such a rare treasure, I will regret it for the rest of my life. Gentleness is eternal, just like my heart for a beautiful woman. If I can win a smile from her. What's the harm in throwing away millions of gold? "
Feng Ling's words did not conceal his intentions, as well as the thoughts buried deep in his heart. He wanted this Western Sea Blue Jade, only to give it to the person he loved, and the person he loved ….. was the stunning and stunning daughter of the Yeh family. His infatuation with the daughter of the Yeh family was also spread around the world along with the legend of Ye Wuchen. Three years had passed, and this infatuation had not changed. But with the beauty of the daughter of the Yeh family, it was not an exaggeration for a Crown Prince to be so infatuated with her.
"Twenty million and one taels." Ye Wuchen, who had not opened his mouth before, followed Feng Ling's voice and shouted. Ximen Qing, who had just heaved a sigh of relief, once again had three black lines appear on his forehead.
"Ah, twenty million and two taels." Feng Ling's expression became serious, and he shouted without backing down.
"Fifty million!"
Plop, a few people fell from their chairs.
What did it mean to be rich and overbearing, Qian Gun Gun's shout vividly illustrated this concept. Fifty million, that was a huge amount of wealth that an ordinary family could not even spend in ten lifetimes, but he shouted it out so easily. His voice was as calm as if he was just snorting.
Western Sea Blue Jade, it had an eternal and undying blue light, but that was all. To put it bluntly, it was just a beautiful stone. As for its legend ….. since it was a legend, naturally it was made up. Other than those who did not treat money as money, who would be willing to throw fifty million in exchange for such a beautiful stone. Or, its true value lay in the meaning that it was given.
Once this price was announced, there was a short silence in the hall. Fifty million was a large sum of money, even among the richest people in Tianchen continent, not many could easily afford it. Behind Ye Wuchen was the Yeh family. This was a family with great power, but they did not dabble in business. In terms of wealth, the Yeh family was far from being able to compete with the Feng family. In the competition between the two, Ye Wuchen was actually at a disadvantage from the beginning.
Qian Gun Gun was obviously impatient with the two of them messing around in the auction, and shouted a sky-high price that made people's jaws drop. This price, even if it did not scare Feng Ling away, it was enough to force Ye Wuchen to retreat. With the Yeh family's financial resources, fifty million was not easy to bear. If they really made a move, it would be enough to shake the foundation of the Yeh family.
Feng Ling smiled, and without hesitation, shouted: "Fifty-five million."
Beside him, a man in his thirties tugged at his clothes, and said in a low voice: "Crown Prince, now is the time of war between two countries, it is not good to lose money."
Feng Ling shook his head: "No need to say more, I have my own plans."
The man did not say anything else.
"Fifty-five million and one tael." As expected, Ye Wuchen did not give up, and increased Feng Ling's bid by one tael. His bid immediately made everyone feel uncomfortable. He would not bid after Qian Gun Gun, and every time he bid, he would follow Feng Ling. His intention was obvious.
"One million!!"
Clang!
Four words, like four claps of thunder, shook several tables in the hall to the ground … Oh, of course it was not because of the sound, but because they were so shocked that their bodies were twitching, and they were thrown to the ground.
One million … What an astronomical figure! When this price was calmly shouted by Qian Gun Gun, many people could not believe their ears.
On the stage, Ximen Qing could no longer maintain his composure. He had set a very high base price for the West Sea Blue Jade, and expected it to be more than ten million taels of silver. However, he had never thought that it would be worth ten million taels of silver. Such a high price was enough to make the young master of the Ximen clan excited. He raised his head and said: "It is easy to get a thousand taels of gold, but this West Sea Blue Jade is the only one in the world. Without the right opportunity, it is hard to exchange for it even with a million taels of gold. One million taels of silver! Now it has reached one million taels of silver, is there anyone else who is willing to bid a higher price? "
Qian Gun Gun had already become the main character of this auction, and could even be said to be the controller and guide. However, he did not pay too much attention to Qian Gun Gun. Instead, he focused on Feng Ling and Ye Wuchen. He was waiting for their reaction to such a high price. Strangely, the two of them still had a calm expression on their faces, without any signs of surprise, embarrassment or cold sweat.
"Eleven million taels of silver!" Feng Ling raised his eyebrows slightly, but without hesitation, he raised the price by another ten million.
"Eleven million and one taels of silver!"
It was another tael of silver that had suppressed Feng Ling's sky-high price. But at this moment, everyone had the same thought: Eleven million and one taels of silver, Qian Gun Gun could afford it, Feng Ling's identity as the Crown Prince could also afford it without too much pressure, but could the Yeh family really afford such a price? Even if they could afford it, to buy a piece of jade at such an unimaginable price, was this really the Yeh family's Wuchen, who was known as the "Number One Scholar" and "Young Master Zhi", who also killed Feng Zhaoyang with his sword? Why was he acting like a spoiled brat who could not afford to lose, disregarding the consequences for the sake of pride?
"Three million taels of silver." Qian Gun Gun did not move, and with a calm tone, he shouted out a super sky-high price that almost made everyone's hearts fly out of their bodies. An astronomical figure that exceeded everyone's expectations and imagination.
Three million taels of silver, a terrifying price that doubled the unbelievable price of ten million taels of silver, a price that only the richest man in Tianchen continent had the ability and courage to shout out. Once this price was called out, the calm Feng Ling's expression finally changed, and he glanced at Qian Gun Gun. Feeling Feng Ling's gaze, Qian Gun Gun only moved his eyelids slightly, and did not even look at him.
"Three million taels of silver! That's right, three million taels of silver! " Ximen Qing was so excited that he was a little incoherent, even his voice was a little louder, "Now this piece of Western Sea Crimson Blue Jade has reached three million taels of silver, is there anyone else who is willing to offer a higher price?"
Looking at Ximen Qing's posture, it was as if he was about to jump up in excitement. But at the same time, he sighed in his heart: The Ximen family was a big family with a big reputation, but when it came to wealth, it was simply incomparable to the richest man in Tianchen. He called out a price that made him so excited that he wanted to roar three times. And this silver was only used by him to buy a good-looking stone.
Indeed, comparisons were odious.
Under this extremely shocking price of three million taels of silver, as expected, no one else called out a price. Ye Wuchen and Feng Ling, the two people who had been fighting for a long time, also remained silent.
"Three million taels of silver going once!"
"Three million taels of silver going twice!"
Ximen Qing raised the small hammer in his hand, and it looked like it was about to fall. When it fell, this piece of Western Sea Crimson Blue Jade would belong to Qian Gun Gun. The price, no one would believe it was three million taels of silver.
"Three million taels of silver going thrice …"
"Three million ten million taels of silver!"
"Crown Prince!"
Two voices rang out one after the other. The first one was Feng Ling, who was already sweating profusely and gritting his teeth. The second one was the young man beside Feng Ling. When Feng Ling shouted out the price of three million ten million taels of silver, he was so shocked that he broke out in a cold sweat, and he could not help but shout out loud.
