Hearing Shifeng's suggestion, Shiuse Qiangwei and Gentle Snow stared at Shifeng in astonishment.
They could not understand why Shifeng would pass up such a good opportunity to make money and insist on borrowing Unyielding Soul's manpower.
While Shifeng and Mu Lingsha were conversing, Yuan Tiexin dropped his gavel for the second time.
"Six hundred and thirty thousand, going twice! Is there anyone willing to bid higher? "Yuan Tiexin asked as he swept his gaze across the crowd.
Although the Secret Pavilion's 630,000 Gold price had already exceeded their initial expectations, they would still make a profit if they could.
"What a greedy bastard! He's actually not going to drop the gavel for the third time! "Lu Xingluo said anxiously, frowning as he looked at Yuan Tiexin.
Sixty-three Gold had already exceeded his initial expectations. He had never thought that Unyielding Soul would be able to fork out so much money.
With so much money, it would take a lot of time to recoup the profits from the Magic Crystal vein. Not to mention, Unyielding Soul had to station an army of 100,000 players at the vein. It would take even longer to recoup the costs.
The only thing worth celebrating was the Magic Crystals and rare ores that the vein produced. These items were very difficult to purchase on the market, and they were more than enough to sustain Unyielding Soul's daily needs. They wouldn't have to worry about Magic Crystals for quite some time.
Meanwhile, inside Shifeng's small room …
"Alright, I agree to your conditions." Mu Lingsha nodded as she looked at Shifeng.
Although she was not Unyielding Soul's Guild Leader or Vice Guild Leader, she was the heiress of the Guild's largest shareholder. At the same time, Unyielding Soul had given her full authority over this auction. If she only wanted Unyielding Soul to help the Ling YI Society with a single task, she could easily accomplish it.
"Alright, I'll draw up the contract immediately. You can start bidding first." Shifeng smiled when he heard Mu Lingsha's agreement.
With the full support of a super-first-rate Guild like Unyielding Soul, he could proceed with his plan smoothly. The interest he would earn from this transaction was nothing compared to the profits.
Seeing that the contract had been established, Mu Lingsha hurriedly started bidding.
"Six hundred thirty-two thousand gold!" Mu Lingsha shouted.
The Secret Pavilion's internal auction wasn't like God's Domain's. If one had enough money in their pockets, they wouldn't be allowed to bid. However, the Secret Pavilion did not have any inspection mechanism. As long as one could pay for an item after bidding for it, they would be allowed to do so.
Mu Lingsha's bid caused the originally silent auction house to become lively again.
"How does Unyielding Soul still have money?" Lu Xingluo's gaze chilled as he glanced at Mu Lingsha's room. "Six hundred and forty thousand Gold!"
He thought that it was over, but he didn't expect Mu Lingsha to refuse to give up. Thus, he raised the price once more, preparing to crush Mu Lingsha.
"Six hundred forty-two thousand gold!"
"Six hundred and fifty thousand gold!"
"Six hundred fifty-two thousand gold!"
…
For a time, Lu Xingluo frantically increased the price. However, Mu Lingsha followed suit. Very quickly, the price rose to 672,000 Gold. This price shocked the various superpowers present.
The various superpowers were very familiar with the amount of money they possessed. Even if they were strong, they wouldn't be able to do much. However, the current price had definitely exceeded the normal range. This was no longer a matter of competing with the money they had on hand but putting their lives on the line.
"This is impossible! There's no way Unyielding Soul has so much money! " Lu Xingluo glared at Mu Lingsha's room. Through the room's window, he could see Mu Lingsha and Shifeng signing some kind of contract. "Despicable thing! A little bug actually dares to borrow money from Unyielding Soul! "
At this moment, even the dumbest person could guess that the Ling YI Society had borrowed a lot of money from Unyielding Soul. Hence, Unyielding Soul was so determined.
"Mu Lingsha, do you think you can win against the Starline Corporation just because you borrowed money from a little bug?" Lu Xingluo immediately shouted a new bid. "Seven hundred thousand Gold!"
Although the Ling YI Society had borrowed money from Unyielding Soul, a new Guild that could rival first-rate Guilds like Unyielding Soul would be impressive if it could take out 70,000 or 80,000 Gold. After including the amount of money the Ling YI Society had spent previously, the Guild could, at most, take out 50,000 or 60,000 Gold. Previously, Mu Lingsha had not responded to the 630,000 Gold bid, which meant that the limit was 630,000 Gold. Including the 50,000 or 60,000 Gold, Unyielding Soul had 690,000 Gold.
With his 700,000 Gold, he could defeat Mu Lingsha instantly.
Everyone in the auction hall gasped when they heard Lu Xingluo's bid. With so much money, it would take Unyielding Soul around three months to recoup its investment from the Magic Crystal vein. However, the 700,000 Gold now was much more valuable than the 700,000 Gold it would be three months later. After all, the prices of Coins and Magic Crystals in God's Domain had not stabilized yet. Currently, the prices of Coins and Magic Crystals were still on the high side.
However, this was not without its benefits. In the future, the 700,000 Gold could be exchanged for Magic Crystals and various rare ores. In the long run, this was a good investment.
Meanwhile, just as everyone was astonished by Lu Xingluo's generosity and Yuan Tiexin was about to hit the gavel for the first time, Mu Lingsha shouted a new bid.
"Seven hundred and ten thousand Gold!"
"Are you kidding me?! Does Unyielding Soul have that much money?! "
Everyone in the auction hall was stunned when they saw the new bid. Logically, the price of the Magic Crystal would increase less as the auction progressed. Now, however, the price of the Magic Crystal was increasing by the second.
"This is impossible!" Lu Xingluo glared at the Shifeng in the small room. "How can a new Guild like theirs have so much money?!"
"Guild Leader, what should we do now? We only have a little over 73,000 Gold left. We don't have that much money to pay, "Zhong Langcheng said anxiously.
"Good! Very good! " A cold glint flashed in Lu Xingluo's eyes. "Notify the Secret Pavilion immediately! Tell them that I have something to discuss with them!"
"Understood!" Zhong Langcheng hurriedly contacted the Secret Pavilion's manager.
Elsewhere, Mu Lingsha could not help but breathe out a sigh of relief when she saw that Lu Xingluo had stopped increasing the bid.
If Shifeng had only lent her 60,000 Gold, she might not have been able to outbid Lu Xingluo. However, Shifeng had lent her 100,000 Gold, which allowed her to surpass Lu Xingluo's bid. Moreover, during the bidding war, she was worried that she would not have enough funds. Hence, she had already asked her Guild members to mortgage the several golden Lands in Dark Night City, earning her an additional 60,000 Gold. She would be able to mail the money to her God's Domain account in a short moment.
Soon after, Yuan Tiexin struck the gavel for the first time.
"Seven hundred and ten thousand Gold! Is there anyone else willing to bid? You should know that this is a one-off opportunity. You won't get another chance like this in the future! "Yuan Tiexin was ecstatic at this moment. Before he knew it, he had earned nearly 100,000 Gold.
However, despite Yuan Tiexin's words, the entire venue remained silent. Nobody was willing to bid at all.
"Seven hundred and ten thousand Gold, going once!"
"Seven hundred and ten thousand Gold, going twice!"
…
After waiting for a long time, Yuan Tiexin realized that nobody wanted to bid at this price. Immediately, he prepared to strike the gavel for the third time to determine the final winner. Mu Lingsha was similarly excited.
"Seven hundred and twenty thousand Gold!" Lu Xingluo shouted.
Lu Xingluo's voice broke the silence in the venue.
"How is this possible?" Mu Lingsha was confused when she saw Lu Xingluo's cold expression. However, she quickly placed another bid. "Seven hundred and thirty thousand Gold!"
"Seven hundred and fifty thousand Gold!" Lu Xingluo's voice was cold as he glared at Mu Lingsha and Shifeng.
However, despite Lu Xingluo's attitude, Mu Lingsha had no intention of giving up.
"Seven hundred and sixty thousand Gold!"
"Seven hundred and seventy thousand Gold!"
"Seven hundred and eighty thousand Gold!"
…
"Eight hundred thousand Gold!"
In the end, however, Lu Xingluo raised the price by 20,000 Gold. Mu Lingsha's expression turned indescribably gloomy. This price had already exceeded the limit of what she could afford.
In the end, Yuan Tiexin struck the gavel and announced that Lu Xingluo had won the management rights to the Magic Crystal vein, causing an uproar in the venue.
Eight hundred thousand Gold!
This sum was already twice the amount of money a superpower currently possessed.
Although Lu Xingluo had obtained the Magic Crystal vein, throughout the rest of the auction, Lu Xingluo glared fiercely at Mu Lingsha and Shi Feng.
In order to obtain the final victory, he had sold a large amount of Advanced Energy to the Secret Pavilion. This amount had already exceeded the amount he could obtain from the corporation.
While it was true that he had won the auction, he had also spent nearly 200,000 Gold. How could he be happy about this?
"Langcheng, return and collect all the information you can on the Ling YI Society. Afterward, send this information to Dark Soul. Have Dark Soul take action immediately. If Dark Soul isn't strong enough, send out a portion of the Guild's main army. I want the Ling YI Society to disappear from God's Domain immediately!" Lu Xingluo glanced at Zhong Langcheng beside him. "A measly bug dares to scam me of 200,000 Gold? I want him to know how heavy the price is!"
"Understood!"
