"Thirty million mid-grade Spirit Jade?"
When Su Muyan and Prince Boundless Heaven heard the bid, they were astounded. They originally believed that an increase from five hundred thousand to fifteen million would be very close to the true price of the Abyssal Red Lotus Seed. They never expected someone to double the price.
"It's that punk with the surname Yi!"
When Prince Boundless Heaven saw Yi Yun, he could not close his mouth. How could that punk be so rich?
As Prince Boundless Heaven came from the royal family, he believed that few juniors could match his wealth. However, the price Yi Yun had casually called out had exceeded his imagination. Wasn't he from the Calm Sea? How could a junior from the Calm Sea have such terrifying wealth?
Prince Boundless Heaven subconsciously gulped a mouthful of saliva.
"Do … Do you really have that much Spirit Jade?"
Prince Boundless Heaven asked but Yi Yun ignored him. There was no need for him to prove his wealth to Prince Boundless Heaven.
At that moment, Elder Mu finally revealed a smile. He looked at Yi Yun and asked amiably, "Young Daoist, might I know how to address you?"
Upon seeing Elder Mu's smile, Yi Yun was rendered speechless. The old fellow was not one to act without seeing a prize. "This junior is Yi Yun."
Yi Yun!
Everyone's eyes were focused on Yi Yun at this moment.
They did not know of Yi Yun's name previously. All they knew was that he had caused the Brightheart Veranda to close down.
"So his name is Yi Yun. People say that he is a sect master. I originally thought that he had given himself that title, but I never expected him to be so rich. He can casually produce thirty million. Even a typical sect master of a large sect would not be worth that much."
The people sighed in their hearts. The farmers of a few villages gathered together, and the leader proclaimed himself emperor. Naturally, it would be a joke. However, if the combined wealth of these few villages was more than a country, then no one would be able to laugh out loud.
"My young friend, Yi Yun has bid thirty million. Is there anyone else?"
Elder Mu smiled as he looked at his surroundings. Yi Yun had been constantly observing Elder Mu. From the sly old fox's expression, Yi Yun could not tell what the bottom price was.
After a long period of silence, someone finally said, "Thirty-five million."
The person who spoke was none other than the Pillheart Sect's Master Su!
Ever since Elder Mu produced the Abyssal Red Lotus Seed, Master Su had been smiling in silence. He did not participate in the bidding of the juniors either. Only when Yi Yun made his bid did he finally speak.
"This old fellow."
Yi Yun looked at Master Su. These old bastards were all extremely cunning. He immediately understood why Su Muyan had competed with Prince Boundless Heaven. Perhaps it was the old bastard's suggestion. He had gotten a junior to step forward so as to test Elder Mu's price. However, he never expected Yi Yun to suddenly join the bidding midway. Therefore, he gave up on the idea of testing the bottom price.
Instantly, everyone looked at Yi Yun, waiting for his reaction. At such an exchange meet, there was an unspoken rule. Typically, juniors would compete with juniors, while seniors would compete with seniors. Firstly, the quality of the treasures the old freaks and juniors required were different. Secondly, when juniors competed with old freaks, not only would they face immense financial pressure, they would also face a suppression in terms of strength and stance.
If a junior offended such an old monster, he might not have a good time in the future.
Yi Yun returned to his seat and did not speak. However, the bidding did not stop. The Divine Empire of Thunder's Imperial Preceptor slowly raised his hand. "40 million!"
Everyone was alarmed. Another big shot had joined the fray. The competition for the Abyssal Red Lotus Seed was like a raging storm!
"45 million!"
Master Su responded almost immediately. It also reflected his determination to vie for the Abyssal Red Lotus Seed.
Prince Boundless Heaven was somewhat dumbfounded when the bidding reached such a high price. The damaged lotus seed was actually worth that much? Was his eyesight that bad? He felt that the price was at most 15 million.
"Heh! Master Su is so determined. From the looks of it, the Pillheart Sect's Herb Nurturing Technique must be extraordinary. "The Imperial Preceptor of Thunder spoke. His words left many people taken aback.
Herb Nurturing Technique?
"What's that?" Jing Yuesha was perplexed.
"It's a special method of processing treasures. By setting up a massive array in a cauldron, incomplete pills or damaged treasures are placed into the array. The cauldron will then nourish them for thousands of years, allowing them to transform. That is Herb Nurturing Technique!"
"So that's how it is. It's no wonder they are willing to pay such a high price. It's because they can repair the Abyssal Red Lotus Seed. Sect Master Yi … you sure know a lot …"
Jing Yuesha looked at Yi Yun with a glimmer in her eyes. Up to this point in time, Yi Yun had answered every question she had asked. It was hard to imagine that he was about the same age as her.
Yi Yun smiled. "I do know a little about Herb Nurturing Techniques."
To others, Yi Yun's words sounded very ordinary but in fact, he was already being a lot more humble.
In terms of Herb Nurturing Techniques, the divine alchemist's notes had the most detailed records. It could be said that in his later years, the divine alchemist had been researching Herb Nurturing Techniques.
The divine alchemist wanted to refine two legendary divine pills, the Elixir of Immortality and the Elixir of Resurrection.
The former could allow one to live forever while the latter could bring the dead back to life!
The refinement of these two pills was easier said than done. It was impossible to refine them in one go. Therefore, the divine alchemist began researching Herb Nurturing Techniques.
He first refined a pill embryo before using Herb Nurturing Techniques to form it.
And after the divine alchemist died, he set up a worldly array in the Sun Burial Sandsea in order to refine the legendary Elixir of Resurrection to revive his daughter who had been dead for an unknown period of time.
As such, when Yi Yun first entered the worldly array, he believed that Ling Xie'er was the soul of the divine alchemist's daughter.
Although the divine alchemist's refinement of the Elixir of Resurrection had failed, it was because the pill itself was too heaven-defying. It defied the Heavenly Dao and reversed Samsara. Just the Herb Nurturing Techniques left behind by the divine alchemist were absolutely correct.
"Fifty million. The Imperial Preceptor of Thunder has already bid fifty million. Is there a higher bid?"
The enchanting lady beside Elder Mu asked. Her voice was very pleasant to the ears.
At that moment, Yi Yun raised his hand. "Eighty million!"
"Oh!?"
Everyone was stunned by the number. To shout out eighty million in one go was as though money was nothing. It was as though it was a meaningless number.
"This punk is way too fierce!"
People believed that Yi Yun would not have the confidence to compete with a senior. They never expected that not only would he compete, he would even completely suppress his opponent with a price. His boldness was astounding.
"He might be fierce, but it's equivalent to offending the Divine Empire of Thunder and the Pillheart Sect."
People were waiting to watch a good show. Indeed, Yi Yun's bid caused the Imperial Preceptor of Thunder and Master Su's expressions to sink. It was fine for them to compete with each other, but they could not tolerate a junior interfering in their competition. Furthermore, he was using an extremely high price to suppress them.
The Imperial Preceptor of Thunder grunted and did not say another word.
Eighty million had exceeded the price he had in mind. Although the Divine Empire of Thunder had Herb Nurturing Techniques, the Abyssal Red Lotus Seed's grade was just too high. It was too difficult to nurture it well. At best, it could restore its medicinal properties to forty to fifty percent. Furthermore, it required a considerable amount of time and financial investment.
However, Master Su was more confident in this aspect. The Pillheart Sect's Herb Nurturing Techniques were a lot more brilliant than the Divine Empire of Thunder.
"Junior, don't bite off more than you can chew. Don't ruin your future just because of a moment of pride."
Master Su's Yuan Qi voice transmission resounded in Yi Yun's ears. It contained a faint killing intent.
Yi Yun sneered and could not be bothered to respond to Master Su. Yi Yun was bent on obtaining the Abyssal Red Lotus Seed. He had other uses for the Abyssal Red Lotus Seed.
Others only thought of nurturing the lotus seed so that its medicinal properties could be restored.
As for Yi Yun, he wanted to completely awaken the slumbering vitality within the Abyssal Red Lotus Seed. By planting the seed, he could grow a complete Abyssal Red Lotus!
Once he succeeded, Yi Yun would have profited greatly. The Abyssal Red Lotus was a sacred herb that could only be chanced upon by chance in the Sinkhole. Even a person like Elder Mu would treat a dried lotus seed as a treasure, much less an Abyssal Red Lotus that could produce many lotus seeds!
