The auction ground was silenced. Everyone subconsciously glanced over to Ling Xian. They were either shocked or surprised.
Though the word "one grain" sounded so laughable and so insignificant. But if it was connected to the Stone of Phoenix's Blood, then it would be unimaginable.
That was a Heavenly Stone of the highest quality. When crafting a weapon, only a tiny grain is needed to increase the quality of the weapon by several levels. It was something that was hard to find even with money.
Therefore, everyone was shocked. They all extended out their spiritual energy to see just who was so rich.
"Hmmph!"
Sensing multiple waves of spiritual energy, Ling Xian coldly hissed. The enlivener between his brows shone and created a storm that pushed back everyone's souls!
HOMMM!
A formless storm spread out, shocking everyone. Those who were capable were fine. But those who weren't were already pale in the face and blood was dripping down the corner of their lips.
"What a powerful Qi!"
Everyone's pupils constricted. Regardless of whether they had blocked it or not, their eyes were filled with shock.
Then, they quickly retracted their Qi and no longer dared to investigate.
"Interesting."
A teasing laughter arose from the seventh floor, "I don't have the Stone of Phoenix's Blood, but I offer two Ling Long Jades."
At those words, everyone was in shock.
Ling Long Jades were also a type of heavenly material that was on par with the Stone of Phoenix's Blood. Therefore, as much as everyone was surprised, they also looked like they were watching a good show.
"Three Stones of Phoenix's Blood."
Ling Xian spoke softly. He had to get his hands on the Lock of Eternity. Even if he has to give up everything he has, he has to get it.
"Four Ling Long Jades."
Another voice arose from the seventh floor. This time, it was teasing.
Then, Ling Xian spoke again and raised the price to five.
Almost at the same time, another voice came from the private room on the seventh floor. However, this time, it didn't have the playfulness from before. Instead, it was a little cold.
This made everyone realize that Ling Xian and this person were now at each other's throats. A storm was about to begin.
Just as this person's voice trailed off, Ling Xian spoke again. He was as calm as ever.
"Six Stones of Phoenix's Blood."
At those words, another voice arose from the seventh floor. It was even colder than before.
"Seven Linglong Stones."
Hearing this, Ling Xian's expression did not change. He remained calm. Then, he raised the price to 10 Stones of Phoenix's Blood.
This caused the scene to fall into silence.
Holy shit!
Do you have to be so rich and overbearing?
Everyone cursed in their hearts. Ten Stones of Phoenix's Blood, that was an astronomical number that was hard to estimate!
"Interesting. It's been many years since anyone dared to compete with me."
A cold voice came from the private room on the seventh floor. The door opened and a middle-aged man slowly walked out.
He had a square face and an imposing appearance. Although his sideburns were a little white, it gave him a sense of vicissitudes. That pair of deep eyes was incomparably indifferent, giving off a huge sense of oppression.
"It's Fang Bie Chen. He is a powerhouse at the peak of the original level and the vice Supreme Headmaster of the Yu Xu Clan!"
"This person is doomed. Fang Bie Chen has always been very overbearing and this person dared to compete with him for treasures. He is dead for sure."
"Yeah. Ignoring the fact that he has the Yu Xu Clan behind him, his capabilities alone are not something normal people can defend against."
"Hehe, someone who is only qualified to be on the fifth level is up against an important figure on the seventh level. It's Fang Bie Chen too. This is going to be a good show."
Everyone chimed in. On one hand, they were shocked that this person was Fang Bie Chen. On the other hand, they were looking forward to what was about to happen.
"Fang Bie Chen …"
Listening to the discussions around him, Ling Xian frowned. However, his expression didn't change much.
With his current strength, even in the entire world, he was not a soft persimmon that could be pinched by anyone. Plus, this was a fair competition at the auction house. It was a competition of wealth.
If Fang Bie Chen had ulterior motives, then he doesn't mind teaching this person a lesson with his fists.
Therefore, Ling Xian spoke softly and pointed his spear at Fang Bie Chen.
"If you have the ability, then increase the price. Don't speak in such a threatening tone."
Hearing this, everyone clamored again. They didn't think Ling Xian would be so bold to talk to Fang Bie Chen like this.
Fang Bie Chen was a little startled. As the Supreme Headmaster of the Yu Xu Clan, he has always been above everyone else. Who dared to talk to him like this?
After he regained his composure, the coldness in his eyes intensified, "Good, very good. I, Fang Bie Chen, am not rich enough to rival a country. But 10 Stones of Phoenix's Blood is something I can afford."
Then, the corner of Fang Bie Chen's lips curled up, "However, I doubt if you have the financial capability."
"I don't need you to prove that."
Ling Xian spoke softly. He was talking to Fang Bie Chen through the air. He wasn't at all afraid like everyone thought he would be. Instead, there was a sense of competition.
"I am sorry, but as an esteemed guest of the Auction of a Thousand Treasures, when I am fighting for an item, I have the right to test the other party's financial capability."
Fang Bie Chen appeared proud and shifted his gaze towards the auctioneer.
At this, the auctioneer smiled apologetically at Ling Xian, "I am sorry. Supreme Headmaster Fang does have this privilege. This is to prevent enemies from raising the price."
"What a privilege." Ling Xian's expression was cold. The temperature around him dropped.
The auctioneer's heart froze. He quickly smiled, "Friend, you are just taking them out for a look. You won't lose anything. That way, nobody will question your financial capability. "
"Exactly, why don't you take them out for a look? Could it be … you can't take them out? "
"Haha, that's a possibility. Maybe you are purposely raising the price."
"That's right. Do you have them or not? Take them out for a look."
Everyone else joined in the commotion with a playful look on their faces.
Fang Bie Chen, in particular, was full of arrogance and sarcasm, "If you have the ability, then take them out. I do not believe you really have 10 Stones of Phoenix's Blood."
Hearing this, Ling Xian revealed a sarcastic and cold smile, "Since you are asking to be slapped in the face, then I won't be polite."
Then, he mentally sent the Stones of Phoenix's Blood to the center of the field.
At once, an infinite amount of red light shot through the cloud. A blood red silhouette of a phoenix materialized in midair, emitting a shocking amount of heat.
This silenced the entire place.
Everyone was stunned as well. All eyes were fixated on the fist-sized Stone of Phoenix's Blood. They were full of shock!
Remember that the Stone of Phoenix's Blood was a heavenly stone. Even if it was the size of a thumb, it was still a priceless treasure. Yet before everyone's eyes was a fist-sized Stone of Phoenix's Blood. Why wouldn't everyone be shocked?
As much as they were shocked, they also felt like they were slapped in the face. Their faces were burning.
A fist-sized Stone of Phoenix's Blood was truly a priceless treasure. It was worth more than most people here combined. How could they not have the financial capability?
Fang Bie Chen, in particular, had a dark expression. He felt like Ling Xian had slapped him in the face. Loud and crisp!
Yet, he had no strength to resist. He asked for this.
