Chapter 1108 - 1101: Successfully Won the Auction
"Three hundred thousand Spirit Stones."
"What a high price."
"..."
Upon hearing this exorbitant base price, the cultivators present immediately started discussing.
"Three hundred and ten thousand."
After the Marquis Tian Cang's voice fell, Shi Lie immediately spoke out.
"Tsk tsk, that increase is a bit too small, this Evil Lord bids three hundred and fifty thousand."
The Demon Flower Evil Lord chuckled lightly and said.
"Three hundred and eighty thousand!"
Shi Lie glanced at the Demon Flower Evil Lord and said in a deep voice.
"Four hundred thousand!"
Hearing Shi Lie's bid, the Demon Flower Evil Lord's eyes narrowed slightly, then he chuckled again and offered.
However, although the Demon Flower Evil Lord pretended to be relaxed when calling out this price, this price still pained him a little.
"Four hundred thousand already, it's insane."
"Indeed, the Demon Flower Evil Lord and Water and Fire Dual Venerable truly live up to their reputations as the most famous loose cultivator powerhouses."
"The wealth of these two is really considerable."
"I remember the auction price for the lord's position last time was also four hundred thousand Spirit Stones."
"..."
The cultivators at the scene kept casting glances at the two parties, discussing among themselves.
"Four hundred and twenty thousand!"
Hearing the Demon Flower Evil Lord's offer, a glint flashed in Shi Lie's eyes as he quoted a price again.
"Four hundred and fifty thousand."
The Demon Flower Evil Lord narrowed his almond-shaped eyes, took a look in Shi Lie's direction, and after a moment of silence, spoke up.
"Four hundred and sixty thousand!"
A scarlet hue flashed in Shi Lie's eyes as he stared coldly at the Demon Flower Evil Lord. Evidently, this price was painful for him and was already reaching his limit.
As soon as this bid fell, the Demon Flower Evil Lord's expression turned slightly grim, and his eyes flickered, but he did not immediately make a bid.
"Demon Flower Evil Lord, are you going to raise it again!"
Seeing the Demon Flower Evil Lord's demeanor, Shi Lie coldly sneered.
Although this Demon Flower Evil Lord is a powerhouse at the Early Stage Immortal Venerable Realm, his wealth may not be as abundant as that of Shi Lie and his brother combined.
Upon hearing this, the Demon Flower Evil Lord's face changed slightly, then a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"Hehe, you two fools really think this Evil Lord is interested in this lord's position. This Evil Lord has always been carefree, accompanied by beauties every day, living in leisure. How could I covet such a lord's position?"
The Demon Flower Evil Lord embraced the woman beside him, his eyes full of amusement as he looked at the Water and Fire Dual Venerable, laughing loudly.
"Damn, you...!"
Upon hearing this, Shi Lie's rugged face changed, and a hint of anger welled up in his eyes.
"Second brother, can't you see? The Demon Flower Evil Lord doesn't have enough Spirit Stones to continue bidding. He's just arguing with words, there's no need to be like him."
Shi He glanced in the direction of the Demon Flower Evil Lord and spoke to Shi Lie in a deep voice.
"Yes, big brother."
Upon hearing this, Shi Lie nodded, then turned his gaze to Marquis Tian Cang on the stone platform.
"Marquis, please announce the result."
Shi Lie said in a deep voice.
Seeing this, Marquis Tian Cang nodded once; the price of four hundred and sixty thousand Spirit Stones wasn't low, so he was fairly satisfied. Immediately, his gaze swept across the room and finally asked, "Water and Fire Dual Venerable has bid four hundred and sixty thousand. Is there any Daoist friend who wishes to offer a higher price?"
After the words fell, the entire venue fell silent for a moment, but a voice rang out, drawing all eyes to it.
"Four hundred and seventy thousand."
At this moment, under the black cape, a glint flashed in Qin Yang's eyes. Frankly speaking, a price like four hundred and sixty thousand was already not low, but he was determined to obtain the lord's position of Wind Ridge Town.
Although the current bid might offend this so-called Water and Fire Dual Venerable, at this moment, he couldn't afford not to bid.
"It's that mysterious person."
"Yes, this mysterious individual dares to bid against the Water and Fire Dual Venerable."
"What's this? Didn't he already show no fear against the prince from the Royal Capital during the Venerable-Breaking Pill auction?"
"..."
All eyes fell on the black-caped person's body, and voices of discussion arose again, clearly showing that the cultivators present had become increasingly curious about this mysterious person.
"Brother Qin also wants this lord's position?"
In the Bai Family's VIP pavilion, the chubby Bai's gaze also fell on Qin Yang, with light flashing in his small eyes.
At this moment, Shi Lie and Shi He's gazes turned grim as they looked towards that figure under the black cape. Just when they thought the lord's position was within reach, aside from the Demon Flower Evil Lord, someone else threw a wrench in their plans.
"I didn't expect you also to be interested in the lord's position?"
Shi Lie's rugged face held a hint of frostiness, with a subtle warning tone in his voice.
"Correct."
Under the black cape, that somewhat old voice responded faintly.
"Haha, Water and Fire Dual Venerable, it seems like there's someone else eyeing this lord's position. Did you really think you could secure it?"
The Demon Flower Evil Lord's long narrow eyes glanced at the black-caped individual, then a smirk appeared on his lips as he looked at Water and Fire Dual Venerable, laughing.
"Four hundred and eighty thousand!"
Hearing the Demon Flower Evil Lord's laughter, Shi Lie coldly glanced at him, then with a fierce gleam in his eyes, stared at the direction of the black-caped figure and placed another bid.
Evidently, this price had caused Shi Lie great pain, and even if he won this lord's position, he would be extremely unhappy.
"Five hundred thousand!"
The figure under the black cape ignored Shi Lie's fierce gaze, paused for a moment, then bid again.
"Five hundred thousand."
"Amazing, the lord's position for Wind Ridge Town has been bid up to five hundred thousand."
"..."
Upon hearing this, the cultivators present began to buzz; this mysterious person truly was formidable, having previously spent ten thousand to buy a fragment of a map and now lavishly bidding five hundred thousand for the lord's position of Wind Ridge Town.
Upon hearing Qin Yang's bid, Shi Lie and Shi He's expressions turned extremely grim, as this price had surpassed their tolerable limit.
"Dear Daoist, do you know, this lord's position is not something everyone can hold. Every year, there are lords who fall. If you buy this lord's position, and within one or two months accidentally fall, it would not be good."
Shi Lie's face was sullen as he looked towards the direction of the black-caped figure, speaking with an undertone of menace.
That threat was very evident in his words.
"Hehe, no need to trouble yourself with concern. However, anyone who intends to target me should also be ready for their demise."
The old voice under the black cape hesitated for a moment, then replied, not backing down.
"Humph, then we look forward to the day you arrive at Wind Ridge Town. Perhaps my brother and I will visit your residence. Hopefully, by then, you will still exude such confidence."
Upon hearing this, Shi Lie's face turned grim once again. He cast an icy glance at the black-caped individual, then sat down heavily.
Clearly, the Water and Fire Dual Venerable had given up on bidding for the lord's position of Wind Ridge Town.
"Fourth Prince, I didn't expect this person to bid for the lord's position in Wind Ridge Town. His identity will soon become transparent."
In the number one VIP pavilion, the old man in black robe, Old Lü, spoke to the young man in a golden robe.
"Hmm, it's becoming more and more interesting."
The young man in the golden robe nodded. This mysterious person taking up the lord's position in Wind Ridge Town couldn't keep hiding under the black cape.
"Since there are no further bids, this Marquis declares that the lord's position of Wind Ridge Town goes to the guest of the number nine VIP pavilion."
On the stone platform, Marquis Tian Cang looked towards the black-caped person and announced loudly.
Not to mention anything else, Marquis Tian Cang personally had a favorable impression of this mysterious black-caped person, as both of his items were auctioned for high prices by this individual.
