When Jing Yuesha saw Prince Boundless Heaven's expression for such a situation to happen at the exchange, she could not help but chuckle.
When she laughed, a few girls who had come with their sect seniors could not help but snicker. They were not from the Outcloud Empire so they did not care who Prince Boundless Heaven was.
Prince Boundless Heaven, who was always handsome and had won the hearts of countless girls, was suddenly being mocked by so many girls. Even Princess Redjoy, who was beside him, was looking at him in disdain. This made Prince Boundless Heaven's face turn as black as the bottom of a wok.
He really wanted to jump up and flip the table on the stage. Screw your trading session. Are you kidding me!?
However, he knew that he was being a fool. It was not his fault for not knowing that the Earth Demon Ape had ten fingers. In fact, the treasures of this level that he usually came into contact with were usually purchased from someone or a particular store. They had been kept for a long time and most of the time, there was only one of them.
However, the old bastard on stage had brought his goods from their place of origin. Naturally, he had a complete set.
Prince Boundless Heaven took a few deep breaths to barely calm his emotions after wasting money and failing to win the favor of a beauty. If not, he would have blown his top.
Just as he was thinking of how to say a few words to Princess Redjoy to conceal his embarrassment, he heard Yi Yun say to Jing Yuesha, "Not only did you fail to impress girls by posturing, you ended up becoming a retard."
The words that Prince Boundless Heaven was about to say were stuck in his throat.
He glared angrily at Yi Yun and felt his blood surge to his head. He nearly crushed his teeth from clenching them.
He knew that he would only be humiliating himself if he engaged in a verbal battle with Yi Yun. All he could do was endure it.
"Punk, I'll remember this …" Prince Boundless Heaven thought with a sullen expression.
…
At that moment, the second auction began.
Elder Mu looked unperturbed. He left the hosting of the auction to the seductive beauty.
With the first auction as a reference, the second auction proceeded very quickly. Of course, the price did not soar to the previous 2.6 million. Instead, it was fixed at 950,000.
The person who bought the treasure for 950,000 mid-grade Spirit Jade was none other than the sickly man from another world.
He seemed to be in urgent need of these Heaven and Earth Treasures. When he found out that the deal had been made for the price of 950,000, he was very excited.
"Thank you, Senior Mu, thank you, Senior Mu!"
The man constantly spoke. At the same time, he looked at Yi Yun. He had a good impression of Yi Yun.
But when he saw the man's expression, Prince Boundless Heaven was incensed. A divine treasure worth 2.6 million had been bought by a fellow who looked like a drug addict for less than a million. He felt disgusted as though he had eaten a housefly.
"There's no need to thank me."
Elder Mu chuckled. At this moment, everyone was still looking at this old fellow, hoping that he would take out some Earth Demon Ape Phalanx and Dark Jade Flower Fruit.
Yi Yun might not be interested in these items, but they were more than happy to have them. They had heard from Yi Yun that there were at least ten finger bones and seven fruits. They were waiting for the price to drop. They might even be able to buy one at an extremely low price! That would be a great bargain.
However, Elder Mu didn't take out those jade boxes anymore. Instead, he took out a small jade-green porcelain bottle.
From the size of the tiny porcelain bottle, it did not look like a container that contained the medicine from before.
"Elder Mu, didn't you obtain many Ancient Fey bones and Dark Jade Flower Fruits? Aren't you going to continue selling them? "
Someone in the crowd asked.
"Selling two portions is enough. The rest can be sold in the future," said the old man nonchalantly.
The old man said casually. This time, those customers who were waiting to buy were speechless. They originally thought that 950,000 was a little too expensive and wanted to lower it further. In the end, Elder Mu didn't want to sell it.
"This old fellow actually knows how to use hunger marketing."
Yi Yun stroked his chin. In his previous life, this was not a new term, but in this world where everyone cultivated, it was rare. It was no wonder the old fellow was able to organize the Heavenly South Peaks Meet to such a scale despite being the founder.
From the looks of it, it would not be easy to take advantage of the old fellow.
Just as Yi Yun was pondering over the matter, Elder Mu poured out the contents of the tiny porcelain bottle. When everyone saw it, they saw a black, wrinkled bead. It looked inconspicuous.
What was that?
Many people shook their heads. They had never seen such an item before, but they knew that since it was produced by Elder Mu, it was naturally not something useless.
At that moment, the eyes of Master Su, who was sitting not far from Elder Mu, lit up. "Elder Mu, can I take a look at this item?"
"Of course."
Elder Mu handed the tiny porcelain bottle to Master Su. Master Su held the bead in his hand and flipped it around to study it. At times, he was pleasantly surprised and at other times, he shook his head.
Everyone was puzzled when they saw Master Su's reaction.
"What is that bead?" Most people present did not recognize it.
"Sect Master Yi, do you recognize it?" Jing Yuesha asked Yi Yun casually. Unknowingly, Yi Yun seemed omniscient in Jing Yuesha's eyes. Asking Yi Yun had become a subconscious response.
"It's the Abyssal Red Lotus's lotus seed," said Yi Yun lightly. His voice was very soft, so only the people around him could hear him.
"Oh? Abyssal Red Lotus? " Jing Yuesha looked at Yi Yun in astonishment. In fact, she had never heard of such a plant before. There were just too many natural treasures in this world. Even Clear Lunar Island Lord only knew a portion of them, much less Jing Yuesha.
Yi Yun did not say a word as his eyes shimmered with a strange glint.
The Abyssal Red Lotus's lotus seed was very useful to him. It was fire-elemental and he could consider using the Abyssal Red Lotus's lotus seed as the main ingredient. Together with other divine treasures, he could refine a Dragon Emperor Relic and attempt to cultivate the Nine Stances of the Ascending Dragon's Fire Hornless Chapter.
Previously, when Yi Yun ate the first Dragon Emperor Relic, he had only cultivated the Nine Stances of the Ascending Dragon's Golden Scale Chapter.
However, the lotus seed's medicinal essence was still a tiny bit short of what was needed to refine the Dragon Emperor Relic.
At that moment, Master Su shook his head and sighed. "What a pity. This Abyssal Red Lotus's lotus seed must have been sealed in a land barren of Yuan Qi for a very long time. As a result, a lot of the Yuan Qi contained within it has dissipated. If not, it would truly be a priceless treasure."
As a top alchemist, Master Su was extremely infatuated with the divine treasures for alchemy that were born from the world. He also found it a pity to encounter such a damaged divine treasure.
"Haha, it has indeed lost some Yuan Qi. You guessed right. It was sealed in an ancient tomb. As the ancient tomb's array formation has been drained of its energy, the Yuan Qi has gradually become barren. This Abyssal Red Lotus's lotus seed has probably been sealed in there for more than a hundred million years. It was already in such a state when I took it out."
Elder Mu did not hide the origins of the lotus seed. He found it beneath him to lie.
A lotus seed in an ancient tomb would inevitably be tainted by a cadaveric aura. This was the complete opposite of the lotus seed's innate characteristic of endless life. It inevitably reduced its value.
"Why? Is Master Su not interested?" Elder Mu asked Master Su.
Master Su smiled and did not reply. No one knew what was on his mind.
"Now, if anyone is interested, you can make a bid."
Elder Mu said. For a moment, the atmosphere was silent, and no one spoke.
Prince Boundless Heaven looked at the lotus seed and felt somewhat hesitant. He cultivated in two elemental laws and one of them was fire-elemental. The Abyssal Red Lotus's lotus seed, which was also fire-elemental, was very valuable to him.
However, he was unsure of how much it was worth.
"Senior Mu, isn't there a reserve price for this lotus seed?" Prince Boundless Heaven could not help but ask.
Elder Mu smiled and said, "I never set a reserve price when I buy things. If I'm satisfied with the price, I will naturally complete the transaction."
Many divine treasures were indeed difficult to appraise. And once a reserve price was set, it gave people the psychological impression that the item was only worth that much and they were unwilling to bid a higher price.
Prince Boundless Heaven smiled bitterly and said, "Since Senior Mu does not set a reserve price, I'll just bid randomly. Please do not mock me."
As Prince Boundless Heaven spoke, he extended a finger and said, "Ten million mid-grade Spirit Jade!"
Prince Boundless Heaven was somewhat flustered when he shouted out the price. In fact, he could give a rough estimate based on the amount of Yuan Qi contained in the natural treasure.
He had estimated the Abyssal Red Lotus Seed's price to be roughly ten million but he was still flustered when he shouted such a huge number. He was afraid that he had overestimated it and would suffer a huge loss.
The crowd fell silent. Most people were just watching the show. The lotus seed was just too rare. There were few people who knew about it to begin with, so there were even fewer people who wanted to buy it.
After a full thirty seconds of silence, Prince Boundless Heaven turned increasingly flustered. Why was he the only one making a bid? Were the others not interested? Could he have made a mistake? Was the Abyssal Red Lotus Seed actually worthless? Ten million mid-grade Spirit Jade was more than half of his savings. It was definitely not easy to fork it out.
Now, he felt a little regretful. He wondered if he had shouted too rashly.
"Twelve million!" Someone from the Pillheart Sect's younger disciples' seats shouted. The person who spoke was none other than Su Muyan.
He was an alchemist to begin with and was very interested in the lotus seed that was rarely recorded in books.
Upon hearing Su Muyan's bid, Prince Boundless Heaven finally heaved a sigh of relief. From the looks of it, there were still people vying for it. Furthermore, the price was about the same as his.
This gave Prince Boundless Heaven confidence once again.
"Thirteen million!"
Prince Boundless Heaven raised his hand again. With such a huge amount, he could no longer raise it like he did in the first auction.
"Fourteen million!" Su Muyan did not back down either. He came from the Pillheart Sect and as an alchemical sect, its wealth far exceeded that of the Outcloud Empire. But even so, Su Muyan still appeared very cautious when it came to a price that involved more than ten million.
"That Su guy …"
Prince Boundless Heaven frowned. The price was already approaching the upper limit of his wealth. At that moment, he found it a little unbearable even if he added another million.
…
While Prince Boundless Heaven and Su Muyan were competing, Jing Yuesha noticed that Yi Yun was constantly staring at the lotus seed. His eyes shimmered.
She asked with uncertainty, "Sect Master Yi, are you interested in the lotus seed?"
"Yes." Yi Yun nodded.
Jing Yuesha was alarmed. "Are you planning on spending more than ten million to buy a lotus seed? Do you … really have a use for it?"
From Jing Yuesha's point of view, although Yi Yun was the sect master, he was still a junior. The wealth he could control was limited. More than ten million was not a small number. Could Yi Yun really compete with Su Muyan, who came from a large alchemical sect?
"More than ten million?"
Yi Yun smiled. He had been paying attention to Elder Mu's reaction to the bids. The old man sat there calmly and did not show any signs of being moved. Clearly, the bid did not reach the price he had in mind.
In fact, from Yi Yun's point of view, even the damaged Abyssal Red Lotus Seed was definitely worth more than ten million. The lotus seed was not as simple as people imagined. It had a more special use.
At that moment, the price had been pushed to fifteen million by Su Muyan. The competition began to raise the price by five hundred thousand. Prince Boundless Heaven's hesitation grew longer and he was already beginning to back down.
At that moment, Yi Yun spoke. He extended three fingers and said calmly, "Thirty million!"
Oh!?
Yi Yun's bid astounded everyone present.
Instantly, everyone's eyes were cast on Yi Yun.
In one fell swoop, the price had risen from fifteen million to thirty million. It had doubled!
Furthermore, the person who bid was Yi Yun!
If it were people like Master Su or King Yi who bid thirty million, people would be shocked but not surprised. But what was up with this youth? Was he mad?
What was the point of him buying the lotus seed? Besides … could he afford it?
People were puzzled. Even Jing Yuesha was taken aback. She suppressed her voice and said, "Sect Master Yi, do you have that much Spirit Jade?"
Yi Yun smiled. Before he became the Myriad God Sect Master, he had always been poor. But now, after the Myriad God Sect Master and the old woman died, their interspatial rings had landed in Yi Yun's hands. Apart from that, all the wealth accumulated in the Myriad God Ridge's resource vault had been swept clean by Yi Yun.
The Myriad God Ridge was a sect that concealed itself very deeply. The Myriad God Patriarch was extremely ambitious, but this was something that the Clear Lunar Island and Heavenly Pivot Chapter, which were also located in the Calm Sea, did not notice. In terms of cultivation realm, the Myriad God Patriarch was higher than Jing Yueyin and Ren Yunzong.
Jing Yueyin and Ren Yunzong had underestimated the Myriad God Ridge's wealth.
Apart from that, Yi Yun had become the overlord of the Myriad God Ridge. The more powerful Elders had their souls branded by Yi Yun. They did not dare disobey Yi Yun's orders. The other Elders could be ignored, but the Zhang and Song family had a grudge with Yi Yun. After Yi Yun enslaved Zhang Tianxing and Song Zhanchen, he had taken all of their wealth without any reservations. Even the two family clans' wealth was emptied by him.
Now, Yi Yun was definitely a tycoon. He had amassed the wealth of a bunch of old fellows and the wealth of an entire sect!
