Chapter 1104 - 1097: Astounding Price
"Xue Yan, Grand Elder, certainly shows great courage."
Mu Taoist squinted and said, this price for a sect is not a small sum.
"Two hundred sixty thousand!"
Yuan Ba turned back to glance at the slightly heated eyes of Yuan Ming and quoted again.
The Yuan Family's annual profit is about three hundred thousand Lower Grade Spirit Stones, which need to support family's disciples' cultivation and maintain family expenses; therefore, two hundred sixty thousand Lower Grade Spirit Stones is indeed a flesh-cutting decision for the Yuan Family.
"Two hundred sixty-five thousand."
Shortly after Yuan Ba's bid, Xue Yan, Grand Elder, again spoke with a tone of determination.
At this moment, in VIP Pavilion No. 1, beneath the black curtain, there were two figures.
One was a young man dressed in a light golden robe, the young man looked quite handsome, his face bearing a touch of arrogance, and on the light golden robe, there was an embroidered Flood Dragon pattern, appearing very noble.
The other was an elderly man with somewhat thin cheeks, wearing a black robe, standing behind the young man in the golden robe.
"Hehe, the scale of this auction in Celestial Cyan City is not small. A Venerable-Breaking Pill, at the auction in the Royal Capital, only needs about two hundred thirty-four thousand Spirit Stones, yet here it's already been bid up to two hundred sixty-five thousand."
The young man in the golden robe chuckled lightly and said.
"Fourth Prince, the Venerable-Breaking Pill at this auction has a quality a notch higher than the one auctioned last time in the Royal Capital. Your current cultivation is at the Peak of Immortal Spirit Realm. If you acquire one, advancing to the Immortal Venerable Realm might be just around the corner."
Behind the young man in the golden robe, the elderly man in the black robe spoke.
"Lu Lao, that's exactly why this prince specially attended this auction."
The young man in the golden robe nodded with a smile and said.
"Two hundred seventy thousand!"
This time, the bidder was none other than Marquis of Celestial Cyan.
"Two hundred eighty thousand!"
Xue Yan, Grand Elder, glanced at Marquis of Celestial Cyan and directly added another ten thousand Lower Grade Spirit Stones.
"Two hundred eighty thousand, two hundred eighty thousand."
"The final transaction price of this Venerable-Breaking Pill might directly break through to three hundred thousand."
"These powers are indeed aristocratic families."
"..."
Upon hearing the bids from various powers, the cultivators present couldn't help but exclaim, as they rarely saw treasures that could fetch such high prices.
At this moment, beneath the black pavilion, Qin Yang's eyes sparkled, and there was a hint of pleasant surprise flickering in his pupils. According to his estimate, the price of the Venerable-Breaking Pill would be around two hundred fifty thousand, yet unexpectedly, it had already reached two hundred eighty thousand.
After Mu Taoist called out his bid, Yuan Ba and Xue Yan, Grand Elder's expressions both sank; the price was already high.
"Xue Yan, senior, apologies, twenty-nine thousand!"
In VIP Pavilion No. 2, Fairy Yan Yun glanced at Xue Yan, Grand Elder, gently opened her mouth, and bid. She was there based on her master's instructions to try to get a Venerable-Breaking Pill.
Hearing Fairy Yan Yun's bid, everyone present fell into silence, as twenty-nine thousand Lower Grade Spirit Stones were equal to the entire net worth of a cultivator at the Early Stage Immortal Venerable Realm.
At this moment, Xue Yan, Grand Elder's complexion shifted slightly, his expression fickle, with a trace of hesitation on his face.
"Hehe, the competition is indeed fierce. This Marquis bids thirty-two thousand! If any of you have a higher offer, this Marquis will withdraw."
In VIP Pavilion No. 2, Marquis of Celestial Cyan's eyes flashed for a moment, then he stood up and spoke aloud.
"Thirty-two thousand?!"
Upon hearing Marquis of Celestial Cyan directly adding three thousand to the twenty-nine thousand price, everyone present was stunned, and the entire auction instantly fell silent.
Fairy Yan Yun, Xue Yan, Grand Elder, and Mu Taoist's expressions all changed slightly, and for a moment, no one continued to bid.
"Father."
At this moment, behind Yuan Ba, Yuan Ming's complexion looked somewhat grim.
"Ming'er, for a Venerable-Breaking Pill, this price is too high. Perhaps we can go to the Royal Capital for one another day."
Yuan Ba gently shook his head and said in a deep voice.
Hearing this, Yuan Ming fell silent.
"If no friends continue to bid, this old man will announce that the first Venerable-Breaking Pill belongs to Marquis of Celestial Cyan!"
On the stone platform, Master Yan waited for a while, then, seeing that no one continued to bid, he smiled slightly and declared, probably this price would satisfy that senior.
At this moment, in VIP Pavilion No. 9, Qin Yang was indeed very satisfied with this price. Calculating this way, his three Venerable-Breaking Pills could sell for a million Lower Grade Spirit Stones, which was a considerable fortune for him.
Master Yan put away the first Venerable-Breaking Pill, and all those present turned their gaze to the second Venerable-Breaking Pill, the last one as well.
"Alright, now proceed with the auction of the second Venerable-Breaking Pill. The starting bid for this one is directly twenty-five thousand Lower Grade Spirit Stones, with increments not less than five thousand Lower Grade Spirit Stones each time."
On the stone platform, Master Yan swept his gaze across the guests in the VIP Pavilion and spoke directly.
At this moment, among the guests in the VIP Pavilion, the gaze of Mu Taoist, Xue Yan, Grand Elder, Fairy Yan Yun, among others, was the hottest. This was the last Venerable-Breaking Pill.
Just as everyone was preparing to bid, there was some movement from VIP Pavilion No. 1, as if a teacup was placed on a stone table, and a light laughter sounded.
"Friends of Celestial Cyan City are indeed affluent. This prince bids twenty-six thousand, and I kindly ask everyone to give this prince some face. This last Venerable-Breaking Pill, this prince will take it."
From within the black curtain, came a young yet extremely noble voice.
Though the tone of this voice was usual, the words were quite direct.
"Prince?"
"Indeed, someone is inside Pavilion No. 1, and it's a royal family member."
"I wonder which prince from the Royal Capital this is."
"..."
Upon hearing that voice, everyone looked toward VIP Pavilion No. 1, but the black curtains around the pavilion blocked their view, allowing them to see nothing.
"A royal family member."
Upon hearing the slightly authoritative voice, Mu Taoist and Xue Yan, Grand Elder both furrowed their brows simultaneously, Fairy Yan Yun's beautiful eyes also slightly narrowed.
The royal family of today, though somewhat declining, a dying camel is still bigger than a horse. The royal family is undoubtedly among the top forces in the Great Xia Dynasty, and they remain its rulers.
Upon hearing the tone and words from the pavilion, Mu Taoist, Xue Yan, Grand Elder, and Fairy Yan Yun fell into temporary silence, as this was indeed using authority to suppress others.
"Then, this prince thanks all the friends."
Seeing no one bidding, the young man in the golden robe laughed and said.
Though he is a prince of the Great Xia Dynasty, the number of Spirit Stones he carries is limited; furthermore, his Prince's Mansion has numerous subordinates that need sustenance.
