In the next room, Meng Hai Zhou and Li Zhen were so angry that their noses were crooked, and their small faces turned green! Although one million taels of silver was not a small amount for them, it was not a large amount and they could still afford it!
However, in the last battle at the Thousand Gold Hall, they had lost so much money that they almost had to take off their pants. Now, they really did not have much money! And this Jade Coral was something that they had to obtain on this trip!
Three days before each auction, the Magnificent Jewel Hall would routinely send a list of the items to be auctioned to the major families of the Tian Xiang City. When Li You Ran saw the name of the Jade Coral, he immediately issued an order, "Get this Jade Coral at all costs!"
In fact, the Jun Family also had this list, but the Jun Family never participated in these kinds of events. Over time, the list stopped at the Jun Family's gatehouse. Therefore, Jun Moxie did not know about this matter. Moreover, Jun Wuyi's collection of herbs was extremely secretive, and only a few people in the Jun Family knew about it. If he did not go to find Tang Yuan, he was afraid that he would have missed out on the Blazing Heart Meridian …
For other Xuan cultivators, this Jade Coral, although precious, was only an auxiliary thing for cultivation. But for the Grand Preceptor Li Shang who had his Xuan Qi crippled, it was a treasure that could prolong his life! There was even hope for him to cultivate again! Because, Li Youran had learned from a reliable source that if this Jade Coral used a special method to absorb the Qi of heaven and earth, it could even help the Grand Preceptor Li, who had his Xuan Qi crippled, to reconnect his broken meridians!
And this effect, was known by very few people! Li Youran had been secretly searching for a long time, but had never found a trace of the Jade Coral.
If the Grand Preceptor Li's body could last for a few more years or even decades, how useful would it be for the Li Family? So this Jade Coral was just a mysterious decoration for other families, but for the Li Family, it was related to the future of the entire family!
Now that this thing had suddenly appeared, it was undoubtedly a windfall for the Li Family! Therefore, the Li Family was determined to get the Jade Coral. Li Youran also gave Meng Hai Zhou and Li Zhen a death order! If it weren't for the consideration that Li Youran's presence would be too big of a target, and that she might be hindered by others, perhaps Li Youran would already be sitting here!
Meng and Li had come together, intending to use the prestige of their two great clans to call out a higher price as soon as possible. This way, they would be able to scare off other buyers and buy this treasure. For this matter, the two brats had already made ample preparations! Who would have thought that such an annoying Big Fatty would pop out at this critical juncture, and an old enemy at that!
Not only that, but Jun Moxie, who had an extremely powerful Spiritual Force, had already sensed their intentions. However, this was something they didn't know!
Even the experienced auctioneer on the stage was shocked by Tang Yuan's sudden shout.
After a long time, an angry voice came from the private room next door: "I bid 1,200,000 taels."
Li Zhen and Meng Hai Zhou had no choice but to bite the bullet and bid. However, the two of them had brought enough money, and this 1,200,000 taels was still within their budget. As for the sudden increase of 200,000 taels, it was to scare off Fatty Tang!
Unexpectedly, before the voice could even finish, Tang Yuan had already shouted at the top of his lungs: "You're trying to scare me! 2,000,000 taels! "
Fatty shouted to his heart's content. This kind of empty talk to raise the price did not require him to actually pay up. Especially when he could make those annoying fellows bleed, it was truly … … satisfying!
Li Zhen and Meng Hai Zhou in the room next door almost vomited blood!
This time, Li Youran had only allocated a total of 2,000,000 taels. At that time, the two of them felt that they had gotten a great bargain. After all, although the Jade Coral was rare, the base price was only 100,000 taels. At most, 400,000 to 500,000 taels of silver was the limit, and 2,000,000 taels of silver was definitely more than enough! The two of them were even considering how to hide a sum of money and put it into their own pockets to compensate for their previous losses. But who would've thought that Fatty Tang would stir things up? He had only called out the price once, but the price had already risen to the peak! If they continued bidding, they would have to pay for the rest of the money themselves.
As for going back to ask Li Youran for reimbursement … … this idea had never even crossed their minds.
"2,400,000 taels!" This was Li Zhen's voice. It was obvious that this young master of the Grand Preceptor's residence was already bristling with anger. His face turned from green to blue, and even showed signs of turning purple. "Tang Yuan, do you really want this Jade Coral that much? This thing is useless to you! "
"Bullshit! How do you know that this thing is useless to me! If it's useless to me, why should I waste my breath on you? Do you think that you're handsome?! " Tang Yuan snorted and stamped his feet. The fat on his body trembled violently, and even the room shook twice. He shouted, "3,000,000 taels!"
The sound of the person next door panting could actually be heard even in this well-soundproofed room.
Meng Hai Zhou's voice was obviously stuttering, "3,500,000 taels!" It was unknown whether he was angry or something else.
As soon as he shouted, he immediately jumped out of the room and came to the door of the Tang family's room. With a twisted face, he said, "Fatty Tang, you've already asked for 2,000,000 taels of silver from my family for that matter. That's far more than what you've lost. What more do you want? You must know that you can't be too ruthless! Always leave some leeway so that we can meet again in the future! "
"Eh? The two of you are really too strange. Tang Yuan was the first to call out a price of 1,000,000 taels, and no one fought over it. It was obvious that you had already succeeded. It was obvious that you were deliberately going against Tang Yuan to raise the price. Everyone can see that your intentions are malicious. How did it become Tang Yuan's fault now? " Before Tang Yuan could open his mouth, Jun Moxie had already shouted in astonishment, "Are your Li and Meng families being reasonable?"
As soon as he opened his mouth, a young girl's voice suddenly sounded from the Tian Xiang Imperial Room. "It's Jun Moxie." It was Dugu Xiaoyi's voice. Her voice was full of joy, joy, and … relief.
"Jun Moxie! This has nothing to do with you. Don't meddle in other people's business! "Meng Hai Zhou's face was ashen. Last time, it was this fellow who ruined his plans. After that, he was severely punished by his family. Not only did he end up going for wool and coming home shorn, he was also blackmailed by Tang Yuan for 2,000,000 taels of silver. Even now, his injuries had not healed. Now that he saw the two of them together, he was truly furious.
"My business is Third Young Master's business! Less nonsense, if you want the item, then take out the money. If you don't have money, then get lost! "Tang Yuan puffed out his belly and shouted," This Young Master offers 4,000,000 taels! You dare to compete with me? I don't have anything else, but I have money! Let me tell you! I have too much money to burn! What about it? "
Right now, everyone could see that on one side was the Meng and Li Families, and on the other side was the Jun and Tang family. This was clearly a fight between the Young Masters of these four families. Everyone tactfully shut their mouths.
After Grandpa Jun's bloodbath in the capital, the blood on the streets had yet to dry. Who would have the guts to jump out and get stabbed?
Meng Hai Zhou fiercely cursed. He was so angry that his entire body was trembling as he stood outside the box. He really wanted to fling his sleeves and leave, but in the end, he did not dare to go against Li You Ran's instructions. He could only grit his teeth and swallow his blood. He said hatefully, "I bid five million! 5,000,000 taels of silver! Tang Yuan, if you have the guts, raise it again! "
Jun Moxie narrowed his eyes slightly, using his divine sense to probe Meng Hai Zhou's agitated emotions. Seeing that he was close to the point of hysteria, he knew that this was the highest amount that Meng Hai Zhou and Li Zhen could come up with! If Tang Yuan were to continue shouting, he was afraid that he would really end up smashing it in his own hands. Jun Moxie gave Tang Yuan a look.
Tang Yuan understood and laughed. "The Meng Family is indeed rich. 5,000,000 taels of silver! Using ten times the price to buy a Jade Coral that is only worth 500,000 taels of silver, admirable. This Young Master doesn't have enough money, I'll let you have it this time. " As he said that, he moved closer to Meng Hai Zhou and whispered mysteriously. "Surnamed Meng, I actually didn't bring any money today. I was just shouting for fun."
Meng Hai Zhou's eyes widened and his face turned pale. His finger trembled as he pointed at Tang Yuan. After a long time, he spat out a mouthful of blood. He fell on his back.
"You're too weak. I was just joking. How could you really not bring any money? " Jun Moxie shook his head and watched as Meng Hai Zhou fell heavily on the ground. He said with disdain. "You can't even take a sentence like that. How despicable."
