Bid Up
The scene in front of him infuriated Chang Mingyang so much that he was about to explode.
Normally speaking, buying a set of twin swords was not a difficult matter. However, Chang Mingyang had never expected that the Light Illusion Twin Swords that he had his eyes on would be raised to a high price of three million spirit stones.
Moreover, he was slapped in the face. He was mocked by Chu Xingyun again and again in front of everyone.
He had never been humiliated like this before!
The crowd was equally shocked. They raised their heads and looked at Chu Xingyun and Xia Qingcheng.
Originally, they thought that Chu Xingyun was only able to enter the auction because of Xia Qingcheng's protection. From the beginning to the end, they thought that Chu Xingyun was just a pretty boy who did not amount to anything.
However, Chu Xingyun's actions just now completely changed their attitude. In order to win a smile from a beautiful woman, he actually squandered three million Spiritual Stones. Such an action was unheard of even in the Eighteen Dynasties.
The crowd even began to think that Chu Xingyun and Xia Qingcheng were a perfect match. When they stood together, they were like a peerless painting. They could be called a talented man and a beautiful woman.
"Three million Spiritual Stones, going three times." Yun Changqing continued to bid. Then, he waved his arm and said in a clear voice, "This set of Ethereal Dual Swords belongs to this young master."
As he spoke, a red-clothed servant with a hot figure personally brought the Ethereal Dual Swords to the VIP room.
Looking at the Ethereal Dual Swords, Xia Qingcheng did not immediately reach out to take them. Instead, she said to Chu Xingyun, "Three million Spiritual Stones is far more than the value of the Ethereal Dual Swords. Is this worth it?"
"To others, three million Spiritual Stones may be a lot. However, to me, it is still within the acceptable range." Chu Xingyun shrugged and said with a smile, "What's more, I just said that this set of dual swords is to return your favor."
"When you bid two million spiritual stones, it was enough to buy the Light Illusion Twin Swords. In the end, you added another million spiritual stones. I really don't understand what's going on in your head." Xia Qingcheng glared at Chu Xingyun. She stretched out her jade-like hands and carefully stroked the blades of the Ethereal Twin Swords. There was a touch of emotion in her eyes.
Chu Xingyun smiled but didn't reply to Xia Qingcheng. However, his gaze, whether intentionally or unintentionally, drifted towards the VIP room in front of him. It was hard to tell what he was thinking.
Right at this moment, the next auction item was brought up by a beautiful female attendant.
The auction item was a small and exquisite blue jade bracelet. The bracelet was shrouded in misty clouds as if it could communicate with the heavens and the earth. As soon as it appeared, it attracted the attention of countless people.
Yun Changqing picked up the jade bracelet and said loudly, "This item is called the Celestial Blue Jade Bracelet. It is a one-line King Weapon and is a defensive item. As long as you pour your Spiritual Power into the bracelet, you can activate the power of the heavens and the earth to protect yourself."
"This bracelet contains the power of the heavens and the earth?"
"Only when you enter the Yin Yang Realm can you control the power of the heavens and the earth. With this bracelet, even if you face a Yin Yang Realm expert, you will have a chance of escaping with your life."
The crowd began to discuss spiritedly. There was a trace of surprise in their eyes. However, not everyone had a look of desire. Jade bracelets were mostly worn by women. Men would more or less reject them.
When the discussion died down, Yun Changqing announced, "The starting price of the Celestial Blue Jade Bracelet is 500,000 spiritual stones. Each bid must be at least 1,000 spiritual stones."
"Five hundred and one thousand spirit stones." A female warrior immediately called out the price.
"55,000 spiritual stones."
"Five hundred and seven thousand spirit stones."
…
As mentioned earlier, the Celestial Blue Jade Bracelet had too many limitations. Although there were many bids, the price did not increase by much. Moreover, most of the people who increased the price were female warriors.
"This Celestial Blue Jade Bracelet is very exquisite and contains the power of the heavens and the earth. It can protect Junior Sister Qingxuan very well. Senior Brother Chang, why don't you bid for it?" Seeing that Chang Mingyang was still angry, Qin Kong suggested angrily.
Chang Mingyang paused for a moment. He had the same thought in his heart.
In fact, he did not care about the items in this auction. The only reason he had come was to win Lu Qingxuan's favor.
Although Chu Xingyun had snatched away the Light Illusionary Dual Swords earlier, he could still choose something else. This Sky Cyan Jade Bracelet was extremely exquisite to begin with. Furthermore, it was extremely compatible with Lu Qingxuan's name.
After making up his mind, Chang Mingyang extended his hand and called out, "550,000 spiritual stones."
After he called out, many people wanted to back out. 550,000 spiritual stones was a very high price.
"Is there anyone else who wants to bid?"
Seeing that the crowd was silent, Yun Changqing asked loudly. 550,000 spiritual stones was already the highest price. Any higher and it would exceed the value of the Celestial Blue Jade Bracelet.
Just as Yun Changqing was about to count, a calm voice rang out, "1,000,000 spiritual stones."
Chang Mingyang's eyes darkened. He stared coldly at Chu Xingyun and shouted, "Brat, what is the meaning of this?"
The first time, Chu Xingyun had bid repeatedly and taken away the Light Illusion Double Swords, Chang Mingyang was very angry. Just a moment ago, he was about to get the Celestial Blue Jade Bracelet. Who knew that Chu Xingyun would bid again?
This scene was very familiar. Even Chu Xingyun's bid didn't change. It was a bid of 1,000,000 spirit stones.
"I like this bracelet, so I bid. Is there a problem?" Chu Xingyun frowned and looked at Chang Mingyang like he was looking at an idiot.
Such a gaze immediately amused the crowd, causing them to burst out into laughter.
Seeing this, Chang Mingyang gritted his teeth and raised his hand. It was as difficult as lifting a mountain. In the end, he called out again, "1,010,000 spiritual stones."
"1,500,000 spiritual stones." Chu Xingyun appeared to be very relaxed as he called out his bid.
Chang Mingyang was furious. He said in a low voice, "You just squandered 3,000,000 spiritual stones. Now, you dare to bid 1,500,000 spiritual stones?"
"If I dare to bid, then I can afford it." Chu Xingyun curled his lips and said carelessly, "If Young Master Chang wants to continue the auction, then go ahead and bid. On the other hand, if you want to back out, then don't affect the others."
"However, with Young Master Chang's financial resources, a mere 1,500,000 spiritual stones is probably nothing in your eyes. Am I right?"
Chu Xingyun's last sentence made Chang Mingyang even angrier. He could feel that all the martial artists were looking at him. He made up his mind and waved his hand, "1,600,000 spiritual stones."
Chu Xingyun shouted without hesitation, "One million and seven hundred thousand spiritual stones."
"1,800,000 spiritual stones."
"1,900,000 spiritual stones." Chu Xingyun called out again.
Every time Chu Xingyun called out a bid, Xia Qingcheng, who was sitting next to him, would tremble. She opened her mouth but did not know what to say. Almost at the same time that Chang Mingyang called out a bid, Chu Xingyun would call out a bid without any hesitation.
Xia Qingcheng was not the only one who was scared out of her wits. Many people in the auction house were also shocked. The two people called out bids too frequently and there was almost no pause.
At this time, Chu Xingyun raised his hand again, "2,000,000 spiritual stones."
Chang Mingyang's whole body was cold. He said without hesitation, "2,100,000 spiritual stones."
Qin Kong, who was sitting next to him, could clearly see the sweat on Chang Mingyang's forehead and his rapid breathing. He knew very well that Chang Mingyang had completely gone against Chu Xingyun for the sake of his own face.
On the other hand, Chu Xingyun looked calm from beginning to end. He had a faint smile on his face, which was as refreshing as the spring breeze.
He glanced at Chang Mingyang who was brimming with cold intent and said, "Three million Spirit Stones!"
"3,100,000 spiritual stones." Chang Mingyang subconsciously raised his hand and called out another bid.
However, just as he finished raising the price, he suddenly quivered and came to his senses.
How did the price suddenly soar to 3,000,000 spiritual stones?
When Chang Mingyang shouted out three million one hundred thousand Spirit Stones, he suddenly regained his calm. His heart immediately became incomparably nervous. This price was already extremely terrifying. It was all the wealth he had obtained from the Heaven's Equal Peak.
He stared at Chu Xingyun. When he saw Chu Xingyun raise his hand, his heart beat violently. If Chu Xingyun continued to bid, he would definitely give up without hesitation.
3,100,000 spiritual stones was enough to buy a three-patterned King Artifact. This way, he would be able to win Lu Qingxuan's favor.
In his field of vision, Chu Xingyun slowly raised his hand. After reaching the climax, he suddenly changed his tone and said, "I'm quite impressed by Young Master Chang's generosity. You're willing to pay three million one hundred thousand Spiritual Stones just to buy an ordinary one-lined King Weapon."
