"Forty-seven million Deep Frost Coins!" The person from room 205 shouted again.
It seemed like he was unwilling to let Zhou Han snatch it away just like that.
"Forty-eight million Deep Frost Coins!" Zhou Han's voice was as calm as water.
"Forty-nine million Deep Frost Coins!"
The two of them continued to raise the price. When Zhou Han reached fifty-three million, the person from room 205 finally quieted down.
After a while, he showed no intention of raising the price. It was obvious that he no longer wanted to compete with Zhou Han.
"If no one else makes a bid, this Azure Mark will belong to young master Zhou Han!" The auctioneer below the stage shouted when he saw the situation.
However, even after he said that, no one made a bid.
"It seems like this Azure Mark really belongs to young master Zhou Han … Fifty-three million going once, fifty-three million going twice …"
Just as the auctioneer was about to call for the third time, Lin Long's voice rang out.
"Fifty-four million!" Lin Long calmly said.
The moment his voice rang out, everyone's gaze naturally shifted to his room.
"It's the person from the room next to young master Zhou Han again. It seems like he wants to compete with young master Zhou Han!"
"That might not be the case. Perhaps he really wants this Azure Mark."
"I don't think he's sincere. I think he wants to compete with young master Zhou Han!"
"That's also possible. After all, someone who has the ability to reserve such a room is not an ordinary person."
…
In an instant, the crowd began to discuss among themselves.
In the room next to Lin Long, Zhou Han's expression immediately turned gloomy. The current price for this Azure Mark was already a little high.
However, he was determined to obtain this Azure Mark. How could he give up? Moreover, the person next to him had competed with him before. If he lost again, wouldn't he lose all his face?
"It seems like the person next door wants to compete with me. Then let me show you the wealth of my Zhou family!" Zhou Han said.
Immediately, he shouted out a bid. "Fifty-seven million!"
"Fifty-seven million! Young master Zhou Han actually raised the price by three million! "
"Three million in one go. It seems like young master Zhou Han is determined to obtain this Azure Mark!"
"With the Zhou family's wealth, it won't be difficult for them to obtain this Azure Mark!"
…
Zhou Han's bid caused the crowd to start discussing among themselves.
"Fifty-eight million!" Lin Long calmly declared amidst the crowd's discussion.
"60 million!" Zhou Han shouted without the slightest hesitation as soon as he finished speaking.
"Sixty-one million!" Linlong remained unhurried.
"Sixty-three million!" Zhou Han shouted again.
…
Just like that, the two of them kept bidding, and in a short period of time, the price directly reached 70 million.
The last bidder was Zhou Han. At this moment, Linlong paused for a moment.
It seemed like this person did not have enough wealth to continue fighting with Young Master Zhou Han! Many people could not help but think this way when they saw Lin Long stop.
Zhou Han had the same thought, so a smug smile appeared on his face.
However, his smile quickly froze because Linlong's voice was heard again.
"73 million!"
This time, Linlong added another three million.
"He actually increased it by three million in one go. It seems that this person's wealth cannot be underestimated!"
"I wonder which family he is from. He actually dares to challenge the Zhou family like this."
…
Naturally, the crowd started discussing among themselves.
Zhou Han's expression was extremely ugly. He did not expect Linlong to increase the price by three million in one go.
"Eldest Young Master, 70 million has already exceeded the original value of the Azure Mark. If you increase it further, it will be a loss!" At this moment, afraid that Zhou Han would raise the price again, the elder beside him quickly spoke up.
Zhou Han indeed wanted to directly increase the price, but after hearing the elder's words, he swallowed the words that he was about to blurt out.
However, he still opened his mouth and said, "He Lao, if we don't compete with him, wouldn't our Zhou family lose face?"
"Eldest Young Master, take a step back, and the world will be more open. Moreover, there will be another Azure Mark auction in a period of time. So, there is no need for us to continue competing with him," He Lao quickly said.
After a slight pause, He Lao continued, "When Old Master came out previously, he specially instructed that the price of the Azure Mark cannot exceed 70 million deep frost coins."
"Alright." Hearing He Lao mention his father, Zhou Han could only agree helplessly.
He was not afraid of heaven or earth, and he treated his own father as his own.
"Young Master Zhou Han, it has already reached 73 million. Do you want to increase the price?" At this moment, seeing that Zhou Han was silent for a long time, the auctioneer below the stage asked.
"No need. Spending 73 million on this Azure Mark is a huge loss. Since he wants to be a sucker, this young master will not stop him," Zhou Han said.
Seeing that he had a flash of inspiration and actually said such words to gain the upper hand, Zhou Han couldn't help but reveal a smile on his face.
"Since Young Master Zhou Han is no longer increasing the price, is there anyone else who wants to increase the price?" Seeing that Zhou Han wasn't increasing the price, the auctioneer immediately asked.
However, no one in the auction hall made another bid.
At this moment, the auctioneer shouted, "73 million going once … 73 million going twice …"
By the third time, there was still no one increasing the price. Just like that, the Azure Mark was purchased by Linlong for 73 million.
Following which, the auctioneer personally sent the Azure Mark to Linlong's private room.
"Who exactly is in that private room?"
At this moment, many people were naturally guessing Linlong's identity. After all, someone who continuously bid for an item at such a high price was definitely not an ordinary person.
However, how would they know who it was?
Zhou Han, who was in the private room next door, had a gloomy expression as he said to He Lao, "He Lao, let's go take a look later and see who exactly the other party is!"
Although he didn't want his young master to cause trouble, He Lao knew Zhou Han's character and naturally stopped him.
The Azure Mark wasn't the last item to be auctioned. Hence, the auction continued after that.
In another private room on the third floor, there were a few people seated. Among them were Guo Haiyun, Lu Yongfeng, and the other two family heads.
They weren't together with Linlong because Linlong didn't want others to know that the person who purchased the Azure Mark was related to the Ding Xi City's family heads.
Seeing that Linlong had purchased the Azure Mark, Guo Haiyun and the others naturally revealed smiles on their faces.
Although they didn't know how much money Linlong had, they knew that with the popularity of the Spirit Calming Pill, it wasn't difficult for Linlong to purchase the Azure Mark at such a high price.
"Knock knock knock …"
Right at this moment, someone knocked on the door.
"Who is it?" Guo Haiyun asked.
"I heard that Ding Xi City's Guo Clan, Lu Clan, Shi Clan, and Liu Clan's Clan Heads are in this private room. Fengluo City's Bai Clan's Bai Wenli is here to pay a visit." A voice came from outside.
Fengluo City's Bai Clan's Elder, Bai Wenli!
Hearing this voice, Guo Haiyun and the others couldn't help but reveal a surprised expression. They knew how powerful Fengluo City's Bai Clan was.
It wasn't only because Fengluo City's Bai Clan was powerful, but also because Bai Wenli was an expert who could activate the level-four icy talisman.
Guo Haiyun immediately gestured for her subordinate to open the door. Once the door was opened, Guo Haiyun saw a middle-aged man with a full beard standing outside with a few people.
These people had seen Bai Wenli before, so they immediately recognized this middle-aged man as Bai Wenli.
"Elder Bai, I didn't expect you to come to our Ding Xi City … Please come in." Guo Haiyun and the others immediately smiled.
Bai Wenli immediately walked in and smiled as he walked. "Your Ding Xi City is so lively. How can this elder not come to take a look?"
"I wonder what item Elder Bai just bid for?" Lu Yongfeng asked as he gestured for Bai Wenli to sit down.
"I originally wanted to bid for the Azure Mark, but the price scared this elder away. Of course, this is also because our Bai Clan doesn't need the Azure Mark recently." Bai Wenli waved his hand and said.
After saying that, he directly sat on the chair prepared for him.
"The Azure Mark is the most valuable item in this auction. If Elder Bai has no interest in it, then I'm afraid that other items won't be able to enter your eyes," the Shi Clan's Patriarch said.
"Sigh, Shi Clan's Patriarch, you are wrong. This elder is very interested in an item, but I don't know if it will be auctioned in this auction." Bai Wenli said with a trace of a meaningful smile on his face.
"Oh, what is it?" Lu Yongfeng asked doubtfully.
"Naturally, it's the method to refine the Spirit Tranquil Pill. I believe that all the major forces in Ding Xi City are aiming for this method, right?" Bai Wenli said indifferently.
"Elder Bai's words must be asking if the Spirit Tranquil Pill Store will sell this method?" Guo Haiyun said.
"Guo Clan's Patriarch Guo is indeed smart … There must be a reason why you can become the Guo Clan's Patriarch at such a young age." Bai Wenli said with a smile.
"Elder Bai, you are asking the wrong person," Guo Haiyun replied.
"Asking the wrong person?" Bai Wenli frowned. "I heard that the Spirit Tranquil Pill Store isn't opened by your Guo Clan?"
"Elder Bai, that is only a rumor. Actually, we are only in a cooperative relationship with the Spirit Tranquil Pill Store," Guo Haiyun said.
"Cooperative relationship?" The corners of Bai Wenli's mouth slightly curled up. He then said, "That's fine. Then I hope that Patriarch Guo can bring me to the shopkeeper of the Spirit Tranquil Pill Store. Just tell him that I will go to the Spirit Tranquil Pill Store tomorrow to look for him."
"I can tell him that, but Elder Bai, why are you looking for him?" Guo Haiyun asked.
"Naturally, it's because of the method to refine the Spirit Tranquil Pill," Bai Wenli said.
"That's fine. I will tell him truthfully." Guo Haiyun nodded.
"Then I will have to trouble Patriarch Guo … Alright, this elder shall take his leave!" Finishing his sentence, Bai Wenli stood up and left the private room.
After Bai Wenli left, Guo Haiyun and the others naturally frowned.
The other party was an expert who could activate the level four Icy Talisman. If they were to go to the Spirit Tranquil Pill Store tomorrow, they would be in trouble.
"We have to tell Young Master Lin about this immediately." The Shi Clan Patriarch couldn't help but say.
"It won't be good if someone sees us now … We will tell Young Master about this after the auction ends," Lu Yongfeng said.
"En, then we will wait for the auction to end." The others nodded.
Just when they had such a plan, Zhou Han had already brought He Lao and two others to the entrance of Lin Long's private room.
Knock, knock, knock …
He directly knocked on the door.
"Who is it?" Lu Jing asked.
"Yongjiang City's Zhou Clan, Zhou Han!" Zhou Han said proudly.
Zhou Han? Hearing this, Lu Jing and the others' faces turned ugly. They didn't expect the other party to come knocking so quickly.
They immediately looked at Lin Long to see if Lin Long wanted to see the other party. After all, they could reject people who came knocking on their door like this in the auction.
"Open the door," Lin Long said indifferently.
Lu Jing could only go over and open the door. Once the door was opened, they saw a young man in his twenties. This young man had an incomparably arrogant expression on his face. Needless to say, he was Zhou Han.
"You guys are really capable. You actually dare to compete with me for the Azure Mark!" Zhou Han said as he walked in.
"The Azure Mark is something that everyone wants. So, this is very normal," Lu Jing said.
"That's true …" Zhou Han paused and shifted his gaze to Lin Long's face. "Who is in charge here?"
After looking around, he felt that Lin Long should be the one in charge here. So, he shifted his gaze to Lin Long's face.
Although Lin Long wore a big bamboo hat and looked very strange.
"I am in charge. What do you want?" Lin Long said indifferently.
"It's very simple. I want to know who you guys are. How dare you compete with me for something!" Zhou Han said coldly.
Previously, he only wanted to come in to take a look. After entering, he realized that Lin Long and the others' strength was average. Moreover, he could not tell that they were from a big family. Naturally, he looked down on Lin Long and the others, which was why he dared to say such a thing.
"I don't need to tell you who we are. If there's nothing else, I hope you can leave," Lin Long said indifferently.
"Tsk tsk. How dare you disobey my orders." Zhou Han sneered.
"What? Do you want to fight us in this auction?" Lin Long looked at him and said.
Hearing this, Zhou Han immediately frowned. If the person from the Zhou Clan who could activate the Level Four Ice Talisman was here, he might dare to fight him directly.
However, it was not wise to fight him now. After all, their current strength was not enough to deal with the people from the auction house.
Most importantly, if he really did that, it would definitely damage the Zhou Clan's reputation.
If word got out, which auction house would dare to let them bid for something in the auction?
"Brat, I won't do anything to you in this auction. However, it will be different after you leave!" Zhou Han said coldly.
After saying that, he looked at He Lao and the others. "Let's go!"
The few of them then left the place.
Lu Jing and the others frowned even more deeply as they watched them leave.
"Young Master, Zhou Han will probably really deal with us later," Lu Jing could not help but say.
"Don't worry. They won't have a chance," Lin Long said indifferently.
Given his Spiritual Force and the strength of the few clans in Ding Xi City, it would be almost impossible for the other party to find and stop them.
Before the auction ended, Guo Haiyun, who had already changed her mask, came to their private room.
