Although she ran an auction house, Hua Nongyue knew her own business well. The entire auction house, other than the white jade jewels embedded in the walls, was just an empty shell. There was almost nothing left.
The base price of this Earth Vein Gauntlet was as high as 30 billion. With this price, one could easily buy two or three hundred Golden Phoenix Auction Houses.
This … We! What … What price should we offer?
Hua Nongyue trembled as she looked at Chu Xingyun. She had never been so nervous before.
Seeing Hua Nongyue's nervous expression, Chu Xingyun couldn't help but laugh. Was 30 billion a lot? Indeed … This was a lot of money. However, in reality, the battle with the Demonic Ant Clan would consume hundreds of billions of Spirit Stones a day!
Compared to the Spiritual Stone Mountain Range in the Demonic Ant Valley, which towered into the clouds and spanned more than ten kilometers, the so-called 30 billion was really a drop in the ocean.
After pondering for a moment, Chu Xingyun said, "If it's too high, I'm afraid it won't be credible. Let's offer 600. I like this number …"
Six … 600!
Hua Nongyue stared at Chu Xingyun, dumbfounded. After living for so long, Hua Nongyue had finally seen the real world today.
On the auction stage, the auctioneer's voice was hoarse. "No bids? This is such a low price. Is there really no bids? "
Hearing the hoarse voice of the auctioneer, everyone smiled bitterly. Who didn't know that this was a good deal? However, even if it was a good deal, what was the use? No one had that much money. How could they bid?
Just as the auctioneer was about to cry from anxiety, a very familiar and cool voice rang out, "Is no one going to bid? Then I'll bid. I'll bid … "
When they heard this voice, which was deliberately dragged out to create suspense, everyone laughed disdainfully.
What? Did everyone think they were fools?
In a situation where there was no competition, was the price that hard to guess? Naturally, it was 33 billion. Was there anyone who would bid a higher price?
Amidst the discussion, Hua Nongyue stood up excitedly. She had never been so generous before.
Hearing the clamor in the auction hall, Hua Nongyue suddenly opened his mouth and shouted, "I bid 60 billion!"
As Hua Nongyue's voice fell, the entire auction hall fell silent. Everyone turned their heads and looked towards the sixth room. What … what was going on?
It was obvious that no one could afford it. It could be bought for 33 billion, so why did they have to pay 60 billion?
Could it be that the auction house had bought their own treasures with their own money? But that's not right … This is impossible!
One had to know that as long as the auction was successful, they would have to pay taxes.
The transaction price was 60 billion, and 10% of it, which was 6 billion, had to be paid to Nanming City as income tax.
Therefore, even if this treasure really did belong to the Golden Phoenix Auction House, they didn't need to pay such a high price. After all … the extra 30 billion was equivalent to paying 3 billion in taxes.
Just as everyone was still doubting what was going on, a clear male voice rang out from room number six, "An Emperor Weapon is a weapon refined by a Venerable Sovereign, so it should have a price comparable to a Venerable Sovereign."
From today onwards, all the Imperial Weapons auctioned at the Golden Phoenix Auction House would be bought for 60 billion if the price did not reach 60 billion.
Woah …
Hearing Chu Xingyun's words, everyone cried out in surprise. 60 billion for one? This was too exaggerated.
Not only the audience, but even Hua Nongyue was so shocked that she could not close her mouth. How … how much money was this? No matter how rich he was, he shouldn't spend it like this.
She grabbed Chu Xingyun's sleeve. Just as she was about to persuade him, she saw Chu Xingyun shake his head and smile, "Don't worry. I have my own plans."
Indeed, Chu Xingyun definitely didn't have too much money to burn. Everything he did was done with a plan in mind.
Right now, what Chu Xingyun lacked the most were grade one, grade two, and grade three spirit stones. He didn't need grade four spirit stones at the moment.
Within Devil Spirit Mountain Valley, there were far too many spirit stones. The vast majority of them were useless to Chu Xingyun.
That was especially true of grade six, grade seven, and grade eight spirit stones. Their prices were frighteningly high, but Chu Xingyun had no use for them.
Everyone knew that grade nine spirit stones were the highest grade spirit stones. As long as they didn't use up all the energy in one go, they could slowly recover and be used without limit.
For example, the eighty-one grade nine spirit stones in the Windless Abyss hadn't been replaced even once.
Even though the Wind Arresting Shadow Chain Formation consumed a lot of energy, the rate of depletion was not as fast as the rate of recovery. Thus … grade-9 spirit stones could sustain the operation of the formation indefinitely.
With a vast amount of grade nine spirit stones, Chu Xingyun didn't need grade six, grade seven, and grade eight spirit stones. He could use grade nine spirit stones to replace them.
The Devil Spirit Clan's Military Fire only required grade one, grade two, and grade three spirit stones. Grade four spirit stones and above were useless. So no matter how valuable they were, they were just trash. Chu Xingyun had no use for them.
However, although Chu Xingyun had no use for them, on the surface, these three spirit stones were the rarest and most precious treasures. They had always been priceless.
If possible, Chu Xingyun would like to exchange all three grades of spirit stones for ninth grade spirit stones.
But the problem was that grade six, grade seven, and grade three spirit stones were already so rare. How could he exchange them for grade nine spirit stones? Was he dreaming?!
As a result, the best way was to use these three spirit stones to buy those incomparably expensive, but powerful treasures that could greatly increase his strength.
Using three completely useless spirit stones to exchange for incomparably powerful Emperor Weapons. No matter how one looked at it, this was a good deal. It was definitely turning trash into treasure.
Although the price of the Imperial Armaments had increased by a third, how could those people who possessed Imperial Armaments be willing to sell their Imperial Armaments so easily?
What Chu Xingyun lacked the most now was time. What he didn't lack the least was money. If he could use money to exchange for the time he needed the most, then he was willing to pay any price.
Soon, there was a knock on the door. It was the same maid from before. She carried a tray and a pair of scarlet gloves into the room.
Looking at the scarlet gloves, Hua Nongyue didn't say anything this time.
Last time, the price of the seven-colored meteoric iron was passable. The Jinfeng Restaurant could still afford it.
But now, the Jinfeng Restaurant really couldn't afford the sixty billion gloves. One had to know … besides the commission, most of the money had to be given to the original owner of the gloves.
Rumble!
Chu Xingyun looked at the Earth Vein Gauntlets and nodded. With a wave of his right hand, ten large wooden chests landed heavily on the ground.
Pointing at the boxes, Chu Xingyun said to Hua Nongyue, "There are ten thousand grade eight spirit stones here. Keep them."
Ten thousand grade eight spirit stones!
Looking at Chu Xingyun in shock, Hua Nongyue said, "This isn't right! The Earth Vein Gloves only cost sixty billion. "
Nodding, Chu Xingyun said, "I know. The extra forty billion is for the two of you to spend. Just keep it."
