"600,000."
"750,000."
"I bid 800,000."
"I bid 1,000,000."
"1,500,000."
"2,000,000."
…
For a time, the voices of the bidders rose one after another. Obviously, the people present were all discerning people.
However, such a bid was quickly interrupted by a voice that wasn't too loud.
"20,000,000!"
That's right, there was one person who directly bid so high, directly increasing the original price by 40 times.
Upon hearing such a voice, the scene immediately quietened down. Everyone's gaze turned to the third floor where the voice came from. However, this time, the person who made the bid was no longer the guest in Room 308 who was in the limelight. Instead, it was the guest in Room 305 who was in the middle.
Such a bid immediately dispelled the thoughts of some people who originally wanted to fish in troubled waters. They naturally knew that the Hundred Refinements Heaven and Earth Brush was expensive, but they did not expect someone to directly bid such a high price.
Some people who roughly knew the price of the Rune Brush did not feel that there was anything wrong with such a bid. In their opinion, such a bid would actually save them time.
After all, if they allowed those people to bid like that, they did not know when they would be able to bid the final price.
"20,000,000. Great, a guest on the third floor has finally made a bid. I wonder if there is another guest who will bid a higher price, if …"
Before the auctioneer could finish his words, someone had already made a bid. "25,000,000."
The person who made the bid was actually a person on the first floor of the auction house. However, such a situation was not surprising. After all, not all rich people would think about how to reserve a private room on the second or third floor.
"30,000,000." Someone immediately raised the price. However, the person who made the bid was another private room on the third floor.
"40,000,000!" It was also at this time that the guest in Room 305 once again made a bid that was an astronomical figure for most of the people present.
It seemed that the guest in Room 305 did not like to dawdle and bid. Instead, he liked to end the auction directly.
Hearing such a price, the people present basically sucked in a breath of cold air.
Most of them had never thought that the Hundred Refinements Heaven and Earth Brush could actually be sold at such a price.
"Forty million. Someone actually called out such a price." In room 308, He Qingxue muttered to herself. She originally thought that Lin Long might make a bid, but this kind of bidding price directly shattered the little bit of hope in her heart. She did not think that Lin Long would take out a higher price.
Of course, this was only a vague thought in her mind. Even if the rune brush was far lower than the price, she did not want Linlong to bid for it.
No matter what, the final price was too high for her, and she couldn't afford it at all.
After calling out such a price, the person on the first floor who called out the price of 25 million directly shook his head. It was obvious that he no longer had the ability to call out a higher price.
As for the other guest on the third floor, he was also silent.
The auctioneer had obviously given them time, but none of them were able to continue bidding.
The auctioneer took another look at the scene and knew that basically no one could bid anymore. Then, he shouted, "40 million going once …"
However, before he could finish his sentence, a voice rang out. "Forty-five million."
"It's the guest from Room 308 again."
"Room 308 is really rich."
"That country bumpkin from Room 201 actually dared to compete with such a person. No wonder he lost so badly."
Hearing that it was Lin Long's voice from Room 308, the crowd immediately went into an uproar.
As for Rong Ping, his originally calm expression immediately changed. He didn't expect Lin Long to have the money to bid for the Hundred Refinements Heaven and Earth Brush. He knew about the Hundred Refinements Heaven and Earth Brush before, but he knew that the price of the Hundred Refinements Heaven and Earth Brush wasn't something he could afford. Therefore, he didn't even think about bidding for it.
He thought that if Lin Long really bid for the Hundred Refinements Heaven and Earth Brush, the rune brush that he had bid for would simply be a joke.
Wu Peng, who was next to him, also had an extremely ugly expression. Evidently, not only did Lin Long's wealth make him feel afraid, but he also felt ashamed to stay by Rong Ping's side.
"Forty-five million, forty-five million. Is there a higher bid?" The auctioneer looked around as he spoke, but no one made a sound.
The auctioneer then looked at Room 305, but it was also very quiet in that direction.
Evidently, the price had exceeded that person's affordability. In his opinion, it was not worth it to buy the Hundred Refinements Heaven and Earth Brush at such a price.
At this moment, the auctioneer's expression suddenly became a little strange. Then, he shifted his gaze in the direction of Room 308 and said, "Guest from Room 308, I'm sorry, but you don't have enough funds."
Not enough funds?
This unexpected incident stunned everyone present. They originally thought that the guest from Room 308 was very rich, but they did not expect that he would still have a moment of blanking out.
Hearing this, Rong Ping, who was in Room 201, could not help but burst into laughter. "Haha, you idiot. I thought you were rich, but I didn't expect that you were just putting on a strong front."
"I've said it before. This Linlong is just a pauper. Perhaps some tycoon is sponsoring him on purpose, and then suddenly withdrawing the money after seeing that he's spending too much." Wu Peng chimed in from the side. Of course, he was also smiling widely.
Just as the two of them were rejoicing in Lin Long's misfortune, Lin Long's voice rang out from upstairs.
"Oh, is that so? Then can I use this as collateral?" Lin Long said indifferently.
"What treasure?" The auctioneer below asked.
Lin Long gestured to the attendant in the private room that he had called earlier to bring the medicine cauldron to the window for display.
"Isn't that the medicine cauldron from before? It's only worth 100,000 yuan. What is he doing with this medicine cauldron? Could it be that the price of the medicine cauldron has increased by ten or even a hundred times after he touched it?"
Everyone present had a surprised look on their faces. They did not know what Lin Long was up to.
"Guest from Room 308, what is the meaning of this?" The auctioneer was also confused.
"You'll know when you look down," Lin Long said with a smile.
At his signal, the attendant began to pull the mechanism. Soon, the Golden Flame Stone was displayed in front of everyone present.
"Golden Flame Stone! This is the Golden Flame Stone!" Someone immediately exclaimed from below.
"Golden Flame Stone? Could it be the Golden Flame Stone that can increase the success rate of refining fire-attributed elixirs?"
"If it's really the Golden Flame Stone, then its price is definitely above ten million yuan."
"It's really unbelievable. A small mechanism can increase the price of a medicine cauldron that's worth 100,000 yuan by a hundred times."
…
For a moment, everyone present was in an uproar. They did not expect the guest from Room 308 to have such good taste.
At the same time that they were envious, they were naturally filled with regret. If they were the ones who had bought the medicine cauldron and discovered the mechanism of the medicine cauldron, wouldn't they have made a fortune?
"It does indeed look a little like the Golden Flame Stone. However, we still need to let the experts from our auction house verify it. I wonder if the guest from Room 308 agrees?" The auctioneer asked.
"Of course," Lin Long said.
The people from the auction house immediately took it for verification. They moved very quickly and returned in just half an incense stick's time.
"The stone under this medicine cauldron is indeed the Golden Flame Stone," the auctioneer said after knowing the result.
Hearing the auctioneer's words, Rong Ping, who had hoped that it was not the real Golden Flame Stone, was immediately greatly disappointed.
"Young Sect Master, Lin Long must have stumbled upon a dead mouse," Wu Peng, who was at the side, could not help but say.
"Even if he was a blind cat, he still had to stumble upon it." Rong Ping could not help but roll his eyes at him.
At this moment, the auctioneer's voice sounded again. "However, this medicine cauldron can only be worth 20 million at most. In other words, you still owe us 15 million."
Hearing this, everyone present was stunned again.
As for Rong Ping, a trace of joy immediately appeared on his disappointed face.
"En, is it not enough? What if we add on this?" As he spoke, Lin Long asked the attendant to point at the Lava Black Rock that was already erected by the window.
"Wasn't this piece worth 7.5 million at most?"
"Could it be that this is another treasure with an even higher value?"
"However, it doesn't look like it no matter how I look at it."
Immediately, the people present began to discuss spiritedly again.
While they were puzzled, Lin Long directly slapped a certain rune on the stone. Because of this slap, the originally black stone turned even redder.
Not only did it turn red, but the temperature of the scene also rose in an instant. Everyone felt as though they were sitting in a furnace, and all of a sudden, their bodies were covered in sweat.
One had to know that it was winter now.
What was even more strange was that despite the heat, the cloth curtain that was next to the Lava Black Rock did not show any signs of abnormality.
Seeing this, even those who didn't know what it was could tell that this Lava Mystic Rock was definitely a rare treasure. It was definitely worth more than 7.5 million.
The guest in room 308 was really amazing. Not only did he obtain a medicine cauldron with a Golden Flame Stone, but he also obtained a treasure that was worth an unknown amount of money.
For a moment, everyone was extremely envious. They could also tell that Linlong had not obtained such a treasure through sheer luck. Instead, he had relied on his own eyesight.
At this moment, the person in room 201 was stunned once again.
"This … this is too shocking … too shocking." The auctioneer's voice was trembling.
If … If he had the luck and ability of the guest in room 308, would he still need to be an auctioneer?
After a while, he continued, "Honorable guest in room 308, this Lava Black Rock is worth 60 million. I wonder if you are willing to accept it?"
Obviously, due to the Lava Black Rock's performance, there was no need for an expert to verify it.
"What?"
"60 million?"
"This price is actually more expensive than the Hundred Refinements Heaven and Earth Brush?"
Upon hearing this number, everyone was dumbfounded. Their eyes were filled with envy and regret. If the previous twenty million was still acceptable, then sixty million was completely beyond their understanding.
60 million! If they were the ones who had bought the Lava Black Rock previously, they would be the ones who had made a fortune.
Those who had wanted to buy the Lava Black Rock previously were so regretful that they slapped their thighs.
As for Rong Ping in room 201, when he heard the number, he could not help but sway. His followers were so frightened that they thought that he was suffering from a sudden illness and hurried over to help him.
However, why was this rock worth so much? Most of the people who did not understand immediately shifted their attention to the auctioneer on the stage.
