The Seven-colored Meteoric Metal's base price was a hundred million Spiritual Stones. Each bid increment was no less than ten million.
This …
Chu Xingyun was rubbing his hands in glee. He was prepared to throw in a huge amount of money to buy the Seven-colored Meteoric Metal. Unexpectedly, the base price was only a hundred million Spiritual Stones.
A hundred million Spiritual Stones sounded like a lot. But in the end, it was only the price of a single ninth-grade Spiritual Stone.
Was a ninth-grade Spiritual Stone very precious? Indeed … Indeed, it was very rare. And rare meant precious.
But to Chu Xingyun, a ninth-grade Spiritual Stone really wasn't that rare.
In the Ant Valley, in the mountain range of Spiritual Stones that spanned over a dozen kilometers, ninth-grade Spiritual Stones were scattered all over. They were as numerous as the stars in the sky.
Thus, to Chu Xingyun, a hundred million Spiritual Stones was too much of a joke.
Turning his head in shock, Chu Xingyun frowned slightly. He said to Hua Nongyue, "This price is too unprofessional. How could it be so low?"
What?! Low price?
Looking at Chu Xingyun in shock, Hua Nongyue didn't know what to say.
Although it was a material for forging an Imperial Armament, its size was too small. It was only the size of a palm. How much could it be worth?
Most importantly, so what if it was an Imperial Armament material? An Imperial Armament material wasn't equal to an Imperial Armament. In order to forge an Imperial Armament from an Imperial Armament material, the Emperor would have to personally spend a lot of time to forge it.
The problem was that asking the Emperor to personally forge an Imperial Armament wasn't something that could be done with money. Even if the Emperor was willing to do it for money, no one would be able to afford the price. Casually naming a price could make the world's richest person go bankrupt.
Thus, although it sounded exaggerated that it was an Imperial Armament material, in reality, no matter who bought it, they would only use it to forge an Imperial Armament.
So, here came the question. How much could an Imperial Armament be worth?
As the two of them looked at each other, the auction outside began to crazily increase the price. In a short while, the price had increased to a hundred and fifty million Spiritual Stones.
In Chu Xingyun's opinion, the price would continue to soar. Without a billion Spiritual Stones, it would be impossible to get it.
But when the price reached a hundred and seventy million Spiritual Stones, to Chu Xingyun's surprise, no one was bidding anymore!
This gentleman had reached a hundred and seventy million Spiritual Stones.
A hundred and seventy million Spiritual Stones! Was there anyone else bidding?
A hundred and seventy million Spiritual Stones …!
Hearing the auctioneer's excited voice and seeing the light in his eyes, Chu Xingyun was completely dumbfounded. What was the meaning of this? No one increased the price after 170 million? Are you kidding me?!
Spiritual Stones Spiritual Spiritual Spiritual Than......
Spiritual Spiritual Spiritual Spiritual Spiritual Stone................ Spiritual..... Spiritual Spiritual Spiritual Spiritual.. Spiritual Spiritual
.
...... Spiritual Spiritual Spiritual Spiritual. Spiritual Spiritual Divine Spiritual..................... ....?
At that moment, even the auctioneer hesitated.
The auctioneer cautiously glanced at box number six and said with a trembling voice, "Box number six has bid three hundred million! Are you sure? "
Chu Xingyun frowned. He opened his mouth again and said, "I bid six hundred million!"
Hearing Chu Xingyun's voice, everyone was shocked. What was the meaning of this? In a situation where no one was bidding, he raised his own bid. Was he crazy?
For a moment, everyone turned their heads and looked towards Room 6.
Seeing this, Hua Nongyue was a little anxious. He lowered his voice and said, "Brother Chu, this thing is not worth that much money. If you want it, you can …"
Chu Xingyun waved his hand. He smiled and said, "Don't worry. I have my own plans."
While the two were talking, the auctioneer outside was very surprised. However, since the other party was qualified to sit in the room, there was no need to worry about his reputation.
Therefore, after a few confirmations, the auctioneer officially dropped the hammer.
Dong!
Amidst the dull sound, the auctioneer said excitedly, "Okay, now … this piece of Rainbow Meteoric Iron belongs to the friend in Room Six!"
Soon, the Rainbow Meteoric Iron was placed on a tray and sent to Chu Xingyun's room.
Soon, there was a knock on the door. A beautiful girl walked in with a tray in her hands.
She looked at Hua Nongyue in surprise. However, the maid was very polite. She first bowed to Chu Xingyun, then turned around and bowed to Hua Nongyue.
She gently placed the tray and the Rainbow Meteoric Iron in front of Chu Xingyun. The girl said in a clear voice, "Sir, how would you like to settle the transaction?"
Faced with the girl's question, Chu Xingyun was about to answer. However, Hua Nongyue interrupted him and said, "There's no need to settle the transaction. This money, you can remember …"
Wait!
Before Hua Nongyue could finish speaking, Chu Xingyun interrupted her and took the Rainbow Meteoric Iron in his hand. Then, he placed the thirty egg-sized Rank Eight Spiritual Stones on the tray one by one.
One Rank Eight Spiritual Stone was worth ten million Spiritual Stones. Thirty of them were exactly three hundred million.
The maid looked at Hua Nongyue in surprise. After getting a confirmation, she smiled and nodded. Then, she picked up the tray and walked out of the door.
After watching the maid leave and silently closing the door, Hua Nongyue finally could not help but say, "Why do you have to do this? The entire Golden Phoenix Restaurant is yours. Why do you have to … "
Shaking his head with a smile, Chu Xingyun said, "Since it's the same whether I spend it or not, why don't I spend it?"
Hua Nongyue looked at Chu Xingyun in shock. She really did not understand what he was thinking.
Helplessly shaking his head, Chu Xingyun said, "I haven't spent money in a long time. This is a rare opportunity. How can I miss it? So, don't stop me from enjoying the fun of spending money."
Hearing Chu Xingyun's words, Hua Nongyue was stunned at first, but then she covered her mouth and laughed.
Indeed, spending money was fun. The fun of showing off one's wealth was something that only those who showed off would know!
Thinking about it, Hua Nongyue frowned and said, "But, why did you raise the price yourself just now? You have to know … that most of the money is for the owner of the item. "
Shaking his head with a smile, Chu Xingyun explained.
Speaking of which, there were three reasons …
First, Chu Xingyun wanted to make a good start for the Golden Phoenix Restaurant's first auction. He wanted to sell the items at a good price and completely open up the name of the Golden Phoenix Auction House.
Second, Chu Xingyun wanted to prevent potential competitors from appearing. He directly used a sky-high price and showed off his wealth to eliminate the possibility of potential competitors making a move.
Third, and also the most important, was that Chu Xingyun needed a large amount of precious and rare metals. This time, the high price was like planting a parasol tree to attract a phoenix.
