If someone wanted to harm him, Lu Ye naturally wouldn't be polite. If it wasn't for the fact that he couldn't fight in the Constellation Palace, he would've drawn his sword!
The human cultivator wanted to be stubborn, but under Lu Ye's cold gaze, he admitted that he was in the wrong. He had done some things in secret without being discovered, but now that he had been discovered, it was no wonder that Fa Wuzun didn't sell him the formation disk.
You Ran's expression darkened. He snorted coldly and disappeared.
Many people looked thoughtful. Although they didn't know why Lu Ye would target a human cultivator after targeting the insectoids and vampires, they could roughly guess that the human cultivator had done something in secret that Fa Wuzun had noticed.
After the human cultivator left, the insectoids and vampires also left. However, they all left behind some harsh words, warning Fa Wuzun to be careful in the future.
Lu Ye treated their words as farts!
At the auction, cheers came out, especially those who were watching the show. They cheered the loudest.
Originally, they didn't have any special impression of Fa Wuzun. They only knew that he was powerful. Now that he had earned a lot of money with a special formation disk, they couldn't help but be envious. However, after Lu Ye drove away the vampires and insectoids, many people had a good impression of Fa Wuzun.
It was really because the insectoids and vampires had bad reputations in the universe. They had conflicts with many other races, but these two races were birds of a feather and colluded with each other. Their overall strength was impressive, so no one could do anything to them.
In this situation, Fa Wuzun didn't compromise with these two races because of temporary benefits, which naturally caused some people to resonate with him.
The auction continued. The final price of the second formation disk was set at eight hundred thousand spirit jades, which was two hundred thousand spirit jades more than the first.
This was normal. For the first formation disk, everyone gave face to the Myriad Elephant Chamber of Commerce and didn't raise the price. However, for the second formation disk, it didn't matter who they gave face to.
Of course, no one would keep increasing the price, because everyone knew that there would be more array discs later. The only thing that made them uncomfortable was that they didn't know how many array discs there were.
Chu Shen had already started the auction for the third set. It was still a hundred array discs, and the bidding was clearly less intense than before. After all, the price of eight hundred thousand was already enough to make most of the managers of the chamber of commerce feel powerless. The managers of the chamber of commerce who had the ability to bid all adhered to a principle, and that was to try their best not to raise the price too high, lest the subsequent bids become even higher.
Therefore, starting from the third disk array, the price was usually only increased two or three times before the dust settled.
At this time, it all depended on who could bid faster. With the same price, whoever was faster would have the highest chance of winning.
Ten portions, twenty portions, thirty portions, fifty portions …
Array discs seemed to come out endlessly from Lu Ye's side. The smile on Chu Shen's face had already turned stiff, but no matter how many array discs were taken out, there would never be an awkward silence.
Because there were too many forces participating in the auction this time, if it were an individual, they would have to think twice before taking out hundreds of thousands of spirit jades. However, for a chamber of commerce that had the backing of an entire galaxy, hundreds of thousands of spirit jades wasn't a small amount, but it was nothing.
However, as the number of array discs increased, the managers of the chamber of commerce became less competitive. Therefore, overall, the price of the array discs didn't increase much. There were even a few times when the price of the array discs was slightly lower than the previous one.
Chu Shen had been doing his job seriously. Other than shouting out bids, he generally didn't say much, allowing the managers of the chamber of commerce to compete among themselves.
However, at this moment, he revealed a smile and said slowly, "Well, I'll let everyone know that only a hundred array discs have been prepared for this auction. Now, this is the ninety-first set, so if you still want array discs, you'll have to work harder!"
As soon as he said this, many managers of the chamber of commerce who hadn't won yet immediately became serious!
Previously, the array discs had been taken out continuously from Fa Wuzun's side, which easily gave people the illusion that there was everything here. Only now did they suddenly remember what Chu Shen said at the beginning. The total number of array discs this time was definitely not enough to be divided among the forces present.
There were only ten sets left!
For a moment, many people were annoyed that they didn't insist on bidding a higher price. Previously, there were several auctions where the other party had only bid the starting price. Now that Chu Shen had revealed the remaining amount, it was obvious that he was creating pressure for them to start bidding!
Although they knew the situation, they had to do this.
Chu Shen wasn't a good person, and Fa Wuzun wasn't a good person either. This was undoubtedly a grasp of human nature.
As expected, the auction of the ninety-first array disc was much more fierce than before. The ninety-first array disc was sold for about 1.1 million spirit jades. According to the previous pattern, even if the price of this array disc was higher, it wouldn't be much higher. It might only be a few thousand spirit jades higher. However, this time, it quickly climbed to 1.3 million spirit jades.
Chu Shen was grinning from ear to ear. Although these Spirit Jades would not enter his pocket, in the future, he had presided over an extremely successful auction that could even be recorded in the annals of history. This kind of feeling of participation was extremely hard to come by.
Suddenly, he looked at a cultivator who bid and said, "Fellow Daoist, please calm down. Don't bid recklessly. If I remember correctly, Fellow Daoist only brought 750,000 spirit jades!"
Chu Shen had checked the assets of every cultivator who participated in the auction before. He had a good memory and naturally remembered how much capital each person had.
The cultivator he pointed out said, "Fellow Daoist Chu, don't worry. Since I bid this price, I naturally can afford the spirit jades!"
Chu Shen pondered for a moment and realized what was going on.
This cultivator indeed only brought 750,000 spirit jades, but he could join forces with others. After all, each array disc was worth 100 spirit jades. When the time came, they would just have to agree on the ratio and divide the spirit jades after the array discs were sold.
He nodded slightly. "It's my fault. Fellow Daoist, please don't blame me. Everyone, please continue!"
The final price of the ninety-first array disc was less than 1.4 million spirit jades.
The auction of the ninety-second array disc began quickly. There were still people bidding one after another.
The ninety-third array disc …
Until the hundredth array disc!
After the last array disc was handed over, Lu Ye took the spirit jades and left decisively. Chu Shen stayed behind to say a few words and quickly disappeared.
The cultivators who were watching the show dispersed. Some people silently counted the number of spirit jades Fa Wuzun had obtained this time and were fascinated for a moment.
This was what it meant to amass wealth. Even the Myriad Elephant Commerce definitely didn't have the ability to amass such a large amount of wealth in such a short time.
With such a large amount of spirit jades in hand, Fa Wuzun wouldn't have to worry about his future cultivation. He wouldn't be able to spend it all even if he had more than ten lifetimes.
It was really enviable.
Lu Ye sat in a corner in one of the halls beginning with the number four thousand, quietly waiting for someone to arrive.
Not long after, Chu Shen walked over. The reason why he came here was naturally because Lu Ye had sent him a message.
Looking at Lu Ye's current appearance, he couldn't help but laugh because Sphynx Alpha was actually wearing a hooded windbreaker. The hood covered his head and was slightly lowered. If one didn't look carefully, one wouldn't be able to see his appearance clearly.
Chu Shen naturally knew why Sphynx Alpha was like this. It was true that people were afraid of fame and pigs were afraid of being fat. Fa Wuzun first shone in the Chaotic Assembly and now amassed such a large amount of wealth. There was probably no cultivator in Constellation Hall who didn't know about him.
This way, he could slightly hide his whereabouts and reduce some trouble.
"Big Brother!" Chu Shen greeted warmly and sat down cross-legged in front of Lu Ye. He chuckled and said, "Little Brother, how was my hosting?"
Although it was his first time and it was inevitable that he was a little inexperienced, overall, he didn't make any mistakes. Moreover, he was completely in control of the auction's rhythm. He couldn't help but feel proud that he didn't do anything wrong.
"Very good!" Lu Ye nodded slightly and took out a storage ring and handed it over.
Chu Shen looked at it and didn't take it. "Big Brother, what are you doing?"
"Thank you for your hard work." Lu Ye raised the ring and gestured. "It's not much. Take it. It's just a token of my appreciation!"
Chu Shen thought for a moment and reached out to take it with a smile. He said, "Since Big Brother is giving it to me, I won't refuse. Big Brother, if you need anything in the future, feel free to call me. I'll be there immediately!"
Lu Ye nodded slightly. He had to admit that Chu Shen had helped him a lot this time. Moreover, Chu Shen's identity was special. If it was inconvenient for him to appear in the future, it would be good to ask him for help.
Chu Shen left and went to another hall. Only then did he check the number of Spirit Jades in the storage ring.
With one look, he was secretly speechless.
Sphynx Alpha's so-called token of appreciation was a full five hundred thousand Spirit Jades!
Of course, this amount of Spirit Jades was nothing compared to Sphynx Alpha's harvest this time. However, five hundred thousand Spirit Jades was a fortune that ordinary cultivators would find difficult to amass in their lifetime.
Even if he was the young master of the car bell industry and didn't lack for expenses, he had never possessed so many Spirit Jades before. He secretly praised Sphynx Alpha's generosity and was in a good mood.
At the same time, Lu Ye, who was hidden by the array formation, was examining the pile of storage rings in front of him.
He was rich!
This time, he was really rich!
There were at least 600,000 Spirit Jades in each of the storage rings, and the total amount was about 110 million Spirit Jades. This was more than double of what he had expected to earn.
Therefore, giving Chu Shen five hundred thousand Spirit Jades as a token of appreciation was nothing.
Chu Shen had spent so much effort to set up the auction and even personally helped him auction the items. He didn't mention anything about remuneration. However, Lu Ye couldn't ignore it.
Moreover, when the first array disk was auctioned, Chu Shen had helped raise the price by a hundred thousand Spirit Jades.
Don't underestimate this mere hundred thousand. Because of the rules of the auction, the first array disk being raised by a hundred thousand meant that every subsequent array disk would be raised by a hundred thousand!
Of course, the truth might not be so exaggerated. However, Chu Shen's bid had earned Lu Ye at least ten to twenty million Spirit Jades!
