After smashing the table, Rong Ping turned to Wu Peng and said coldly, "Wu Peng, didn't you say that this Linlong is just a young master from a small family? How could he have so much money?"
Wu Peng was frightened by Rong Ping and his face turned pale. He quickly said, "Young Sect Master, this Linlong is indeed from a small family. I just don't know where he got so much money … Maybe, maybe he's just making a wild guess."
Hearing Wu Peng's words, Rong Ping nodded his head. He also felt that this was the reason. No matter how he looked at it, he didn't think that Linlong was rich.
"17 million going twice. If there are no other bids, this Xuan Beast Fruit will belong to the guest in room 308." The auctioneer's voice sounded from below.
"Auctioneer, wait." At this moment, Rong Ping hurriedly said.
"Guest in room 201, may I ask if you have any questions?" The auctioneer asked.
"I suspect that the guest in room 308 doesn't have that much money. He's just here to cause trouble." Rong Ping said fiercely.
Hearing this, the audience immediately burst into laughter.
"This must be the first time this guest has come to the Black Ridge Gorge Auction. You don't know that the auction house has already determined the financial strength of every guest. Once a guest calls out a bid that exceeds the amount of cloud coins in their card, they will immediately stop their improper behavior."
"If he doesn't even have 20 million cloud coins, how can he reserve a room on the third floor?"
"He's probably a country bumpkin. Even if he doesn't have money, he's still trying to look impressive."
…
The ridicule from below the stage caused Rong Ping's face to turn from white to red. Although the Luo Yue Sect was not a small sect, it was Rong Ping's first time here. He didn't know the rules at all.
Uncle Ke was a frequent guest here. However, he was already chased out of the room by Rong Ping. Otherwise, he wouldn't have lost face on the spot.
Luckily, other than Linlong's room, no one else knew that Rong Ping was in room 201.
However, when he thought of He Qingxue in room 308, his expression became even uglier, and he glared fiercely at Wu Peng.
At this time, Wu Peng was regretting to the point that his intestines turned green. How could he have known that his casual words would cause such consequences?
"Ignorance is not a crime. Guest in room 201, please don't make such a small mistake again … Alright, let's continue the auction," the auctioneer said with a smile.
"I bid 18 million!" After being ridiculed by the crowd, if Rong Ping did not raise his bid, where would he hide his face? Therefore, he immediately clenched his teeth and shouted.
"18.5 million." Linlong called out the price unhurriedly.
"Linlong!" Rong Ping was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood. He knew that Linlong was deliberately raising the price, but how could he show weakness at this moment? He immediately shouted, "19.5 million!"
"Twenty million," Linlong added.
Hearing Linlong's bid, He Qingxue said anxiously, "Young Master, this price is too high. If Rongping doesn't bid, you'll suffer a huge loss."
However, Linlong said, "Don't worry, Rongping will bid after you."
Linlong could naturally tell that due to Rongping's personality and his determination to obtain the Mystical Beast Fruit, Rongping would definitely bid after him.
Of course, Linlong could not keep bidding. Otherwise, it would exceed Rongping's tolerance. If Rongping could not continue bidding, he would suffer a loss.
Therefore, when the bid reached 25 million, Linlong stopped and gave the Mystical Beast Fruit to Rongping, who had bid 26 million.
The people below were naturally able to see what was going on with the bidding between the two of them. When the bidding for the Mysterious Beast Fruit ended, the people below the stage couldn't help but start to discuss spiritedly.
"The country bumpkin in room 201 was obviously toyed with by an even more powerful nouveau riche."
"It's obvious that he was completely dominated by the other party. It was originally worth 15 million, but because of this, it was forcibly increased by 10 million."
"The guest in room 308 seems to be richer. Not only is he rich, but he's obviously smarter than the country bumpkin in room 201."
"I'm afraid that the country bumpkin in room 201 is going to vomit blood."
…
Old Ke, who was seated in a corner, helplessly shook his head as he listened to the discussions. A Mystical Beast Fruit had already cost him an additional ten million. Coupled with the runic brush from before, it was simply impossible for him to complete the task that the sect master had given him.
As for Rongping, he was so angry that his face turned ashen.
However, there was something else that slightly diverted his attention.
It was a stone that was three feet tall and half a foot wide. The stone was black, but what made him feel strange was that he could not tell what material the stone was made of.
Most importantly, there were some strange runes engraved on the stone.
"Wu Peng, take a look at the runes on the stone." Rongping said to Wu Peng.
Rongping had initially taken Wu Peng in because Wu Peng was good at runes. Therefore, he naturally knew what Wu Peng was good at.
When he saw that it was something related to runes that he was good at, Wu Peng immediately became spirited. However, after focusing his gaze on the runes for a while, his face became more and more surprised.
"What's wrong?" Rongping asked.
"This rune is too strange. I can only see a hint of it," Wu Peng said dejectedly.
He had originally wanted to show off his skills on the stone and take credit for it in front of Rongping. He did not expect that he could not understand the runes. It was fine if he could not understand them, but he did not know what the runes had to do with the current rune study.
"Useless!" Rongping, who was in a bad mood, glared at Wu Peng and scolded him.
Wu Peng could only put on a bitter face.
After the display, the auctioneer began to introduce seriously, "This is a Lava Black Stone that was excavated from underground lava. The runes engraved on it allow its energy to be contained within. This Lava Black Stone has the effect of increasing a martial artist's Dark Qi. As long as a martial artist sits on this Lava Black Stone while cultivating, the effect will be achieved."
At this point, the auctioneer paused and glanced at the crowd below before continuing, "However, it is a pity that this Lava Black Stone is only useful for martial artists below the Middle Stage of the Martial Mentor Realm. Furthermore, it is most useful for martial artists in the Martial Soldier Realm. The higher one goes, the weaker its effect will be."
The auctioneer's previous words had undoubtedly raised the spirits of the crowd. However, after the auctioneer's sudden change, most of the people could not help but shake their heads. If it was useful for martial artists of all stages, it would undoubtedly be a good item. However, if it was only useful for martial artists in the Martial Soldier Realm, it was undoubtedly a little useless.
"The starting price of this Lava Black Stone is 100,000." The auctioneer's voice rang out.
Although it was of little value to most people, many people immediately started bidding after the auctioneer's voice fell. After all, this Lava Black Stone was useful for martial artists below the Middle Stage of the Martial Mentor Realm, so it had a certain value.
At this moment, in Room 308, He Qingxue asked Linlong, "This talisman is so strange. I can only tell that it should be a talisman from a very ancient era. I wonder if you can tell anything about it?"
He Qingxue's knowledge of talisman was many times better than Wu Peng's. However, even so, she could not tell which era this talisman was from, let alone understand its meaning.
Linlong smiled faintly and said, "This talisman was used by those seniors thousands of years ago …"
"Thousands of years ago? How did you know? " He Qingxue could not help but widen her eyes. She did not expect that this talisman was produced so far away from them.
"My teacher once taught me a little about this talisman, so …" Linlong said.
It was normal that He Qingxue did not know about it. In her previous life, Linlong had only learned this talisman from a talisman master many years later.
"I really envy you for having such a good teacher," He Qingxue could not help but say enviously.
Then, the two of them focused on the auction.
The bidding price had already reached 3,000,000.
At this moment, there were still many people bidding for the Lava Mystic Ore. The number of people bidding only decreased when the price reached 5,000,000.
When the price reached six million, the number of bidders began to dwindle.
Linlong began to bid again. He directly added 500,000 to the 6,000,000 bid.
"F * ck, that guy is bidding again." The few people who originally thought that they could get the Lava Mystic Ore at the 6,000,000 bid immediately felt a little dejected.
Linlong's rich behavior just now made them feel a deep sense of fear for him.
Sure enough, after Lin Long called out his bid, they all chose to back out. Lin Long didn't play by the rules at all. Others had called out bids of 100,000, but he directly called out bids of 500,000.
Moreover, the current price had completely exceeded the value of the Lava Mystic Ore. If they continued to bid against Linlong, they would definitely suffer a huge loss even if they managed to get it.
Therefore, they wisely backed out. In the end, Linlong won the Lava Mystic Ore at 7,500,000.
To be honest, Rong Ping originally wanted to raise the price and make Linlong suffer. However, he was obviously traumatized after being cheated by Linlong twice. Therefore, he only thought about it and did not dare to bid.
"Young Master, this Lava Mystic Ore should not be worth that much. Moreover, your strength has already surpassed the Intermediate Martial Master Realm. This Lava Mystic Ore is completely useless to you. Is it just because of the different talisman?" He Qingxue could not help but ask after Linlong bid for the Lava Mystic Ore.
Old Dong also looked at Linlong in confusion.
"Because there is a deeper meaning behind the talisman," Linlong said with a smile.
"There is a deeper meaning behind it. What is it?" He Qingxue asked curiously. She vaguely felt that if that was the case, the true value of this Lava Mystic Ore was definitely not just 7,000,000.
