As soon as this voice came out, everyone didn't even need to look at the words on the big screen to know that it came from Booth 19. Most of the cultivators didn't expect that Booth 19, after experiencing Ning Cheng's face-slapping incident, would come up with such a method.
However, everyone understood that the cultivator in Booth 19 was also at the late-stage Life and Death Realm. If he wanted to advance to the Perpetual Moon Realm, he naturally needed the Starry Sky Radish Grass.
Although the Starry Sky Radish Grass was precious, most Eternal cultivators wouldn't put it in their eyes. Since Booth 19 got slapped in the face by Ning Cheng, in addition to the urgent need for the Starry Sky Radish Grass, he also wanted to quickly regain his face. Cultivators who knew about the origins of Booth 19 naturally wouldn't offend him for a Starry Sky Radish Grass.
"Booth 19 bid 3 million Permanent Essence Pills. Is there any higher bid than 3 million? If there is no higher bid than 3 million Permanent Essence Pills, then this Starry Sky Radish Grass, which can be used to refine the Eternal Emperor Continuance Pill, belongs to Booth 19. "Shui Wuchang didn't rush to call out the number of times this time. No matter how great one's background was, the auction house couldn't give face every time.
Shui Wuchang, as the host of the auction, naturally wouldn't teach her this.
"4 million Permanent Essence Pills ….." Another new price brushed down the 3 million Permanent Essence Pills bid. It felt as if Booth 19's warning was equivalent to a fart.
After Booth 19 said that he wanted it, someone still increased the price. Moreover, it was a million Permanent Essence Pills, which was tantamount to a slap in the face. No matter which booth made the bid, it was bound to create displeasure with Booth 19.
Everyone immediately stared at the huge bidding screen, wanting to know who would continue to slap their faces.
When everyone saw the row of words in front of the bid, the entire venue started to talk again. At the top of the bidding screen, it read, 'Row 40, Seat 163, bid 4 million Permanent Essence Pills for the Starry Sky Radish Grass, currently the highest bid.'
A price of 4 million Permanent Essence Pills wasn't unusual. Besides, there were many wealthy cultivators who could come to this auction. What was unusual was that the cultivator who made the bid still sat in an ordinary seat in the hall, not in a booth at all.
The Life and Death cultivator in Booth 19 trembled with anger. He never expected that the cultivator sitting in the hall would slap his face again and again. Did he think he was easy to bully because he had been slapped in the face? Previously, when he was slapped in the face, the reason why he hadn't taken revenge until now was because he was still in the auction, not because he didn't dare to take revenge.
These country bumpkins probably came from another starry sky and did not know who he was.
"I request to negotiate with Row 40, Seat 163." What made people speechless was that Room 19 once again said that he wanted to negotiate with the bidders in the hall.
This time, Shui Wuchang did not answer directly. Instead, she pressed a button.
After a few breaths, the previous voice once again reverberated in the auction hall, "Room 19 is allowed to negotiate with the guests in the hall for no more than half a quarter of an hour. At the same time, I would like to make an announcement. After this auction, no negotiation is allowed in the auction house. Only the price is allowed. "
Because this kind of negotiation had occurred twice in this auction, the Ash Pagoda Chamber of Commerce felt that there was something wrong with their rules. Just because this kind of thing didn't happen usually didn't mean it never happened. However, they couldn't remove this rule now, so they could only agree to Room 19's negotiation request again.
Everyone knew that Room 19's actions made the auction house unhappy. If not for the face of the person behind Room 19, the auction house might have rejected it directly.
Room 19's door opened again, and the late-stage Life and Death cultivator sitting in the middle stopped his attendant from going out. Apparently, he had learned his lesson from Ning Cheng's mistake and intended to negotiate by himself.
Seeing the man from Room 19 walk towards Row 40 of the hall, the people in the venue immediately observed a moment of silence for the cultivator in Row 40, Seat 163. Being rich wasn't a bad thing, but being rich also required a little bit of heart. This person obviously wanted to get back at him for the previous slap in the face.
Ning Cheng felt a little speechless. He hadn't even bid yet, yet this fellow from Room 19 had already started fighting with Duan Gantai. Although this fellow was a late-stage Life and Death cultivator, he was nothing compared to Duan Gantai.
"I know that you're also a Life and Death cultivator, but I won't let you suffer a loss. Give me this Starry Sky Radish Grass at the same price." The Life and Death cultivator walked up to Duan Gantai and spoke with a slightly indifferent tone.
It wasn't like what others thought, that he just wanted to get back his face. Rather, he really wanted this Starry Sky Radish Grass. Otherwise, he wouldn't have used such a negotiating tone. Moreover, his words weren't completely unreasonable.
Duan Gantai slowly stood up and stared at the cultivator without speaking.
The Life and Death cultivator from Room 19, on seeing Duan Gantai's unfriendly gaze, frowned slightly and said, "I'm from ….."
"Scram …." Without waiting for the Life and Death cultivator from Room 19 to finish his words, Duan Gantai shouted out the word 'scram' and raised his hand to slap him.
Seeing Ning Cheng take out the Perpetual Moon Time Key for the auction, Duan Gantai felt extremely unhappy. He didn't dare to make a move against Ning Cheng, but at this time, someone actually dared to speak up. How could he let it go? It was always him, Duan Gantai, who forced others. Since when did someone dare to force him, Duan Gantai? He didn't care about the person behind Room 19. Even if it was Qiao Jierui, so what? Could he even pull out a single hair from his body?
The Life and Death cultivator from Room 19 didn't expect that a fellow in the hall would dare to take the initiative to attack him. The difference in strength between him and Duan Gantai was like heaven and earth. Coupled with the fact that he wasn't prepared, Duan Gantai's slap sent him flying.
"Bang ….." Duan Gantai once again slapped the cultivator against the main stage's restrictions, causing a burst of alarms to erupt.
Everyone felt completely stunned. What the hell was going on? The rogue cultivator from Row 39 had only made a move when others were ready to make a move. But now, the cultivator in Row 40 seemed to have a bigger temper compared to the one in Room 19. He even made the first move. Not only did he make the first move, but he also sent a late-stage Life and Death cultivator flying with a slap. This kind of strength was just too powerful.
The Life and Death cultivator from Room 19 stood up and didn't even bother to check the blood at the corner of his mouth. Instead, his killing intent erupted out in a crazy manner. The next moment, a weapon appeared in his hand. He felt that he had suffered a lifetime of insults in this place.
Just when he was about to rush to Row 40, the cold voice from the auction house rang out again, "If you dare to make another move, you will die without mercy."
The Life and Death cultivator from Room 19 felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over him when he heard those words. He knew that if he dared to continue, the auction house would truly kill him.
He put away his weapon, glanced at Ning Cheng and Duan Gantai with a cold gaze, then turned around and left. Not only did he not say a word, but he also didn't even enter the booth. Since the owner had already left, his two followers quickly followed him out.
No one stopped him. The auction house could leave at any time, but after leaving, no one was allowed to enter. Everyone understood that the cultivator from Room 19 had gone back to get reinforcements. As soon as the auction ended, Rows 30 and 40 in the hall would face a life and death test.
Shui Wuchang looked at Duan Gantai in a daze. How did the man she almost married become so powerful? She subconsciously looked at Ning Cheng again. Speaking of which, the one who made the most intimate gesture with her wasn't Duan Gantai, but Ning Cheng. Thinking of the scene when Ning Cheng held her in his arms, her body almost softened.
It was Ning Cheng who hugged her and said to her, "Junior Apprentice Sister Wuchang, I finally understand what love at first sight is ….."
But after she left, she found that her Perpetual Moon Time Key had disappeared.
Her gaze shifted from Ning Cheng to Duan Gantai and felt that both of them were equally insidious. Thinking about how these two people almost destroyed the entire Shui Clan, she sneered in her heart. The cultivator from Room 19 indeed had a powerful background, but if he wanted to take revenge on these two people, he probably wouldn't be able to do so.
No one understood Ning Cheng and Duan Gantai's treachery better than her. Even Shui Clan's Spiritual Vein had almost been taken away by these two people.
In fact, Shui Wuchang truly wronged Ning Cheng. Ning Cheng had only taken away Shui Wuchang's Perpetual Moon Time Key. Moreover, it was Duan Gantai who wanted to take away Shui Clan's Starry Sky Spiritual Vein. If not for Ning Cheng, Duan Gantai would have already taken away Shui Clan's Spiritual Vein. It stood to reason that Ning Cheng was the one who helped Shui Clan keep the Starry Sky Spiritual Vein.
After the matter calmed down a little, Shui Wuchang spoke up, "Friend from Row 40, Number 163, bids 4 million Permanent Essence Pills. Is there a higher price?"
No one continued to increase the price. If Ning Cheng's matter was a coincidence, then Duan Gantai's matter was the only explanation. That is, everyone who came to participate in this auction, whether sitting in the hall or in the booths. Don't underestimate this person. Maybe he's a powerhouse.
What's more, four million Permanent Essence Pills for a Starry Sky Radish Grass had already exceeded the price of the Radish Grass itself.
Duan Gantai glanced at Ning Cheng. He thought that Ning Cheng would bid against him, but he didn't expect Ning Cheng to not increase the price. Ning Cheng couldn't outbid him, which he knew very well. But Ning Cheng didn't bid against him out of kindness, which made him feel a little puzzled.
He had already decided that once Ning Cheng increased the price, he would also increase the price. He didn't believe that Ning Cheng could beat him. Even if he had to take out a few dozen more star veins, he still wanted to vent his anger. But now that Ning Cheng didn't bid, it felt as if he had punched the air, making him feel uncomfortable.
"4 million Permanent Essence Pills going once …. 4 million Permanent Essence Pills going twice …. 4 million Permanent Essence Pills going thrice. Congratulations to this friend from Row 40, Number 163, for winning the Starry Sky Radish Grass for 4 million Permanent Essence Pills." As Shui Wuchang's voice fell, the auction for the Starry Sky Radish Grass came to an end.
