"Three billion!"

As Yang Meier watched the numbers suddenly appear on the screen, her voice tinged with excitement, she announced loudly to the entire audience.

"Guest number 02 has bid 3 billion. Are there any other guests raising the bid?"

hiss……!

As soon as the price was announced, a collective gasp filled the room.

They thought that the price of 2.5 billion was already outrageous enough, and even if the price was raised, it would only be by 100 million or tens of millions. But they didn't expect the other party to raise the price of the Dragon Soaring Technique by 400 million, bringing the price of the technique to 3 billion!

Three billion!

Even the Silver-Faced Ancient Moon Blade, which just finished its auction, only fetched 3 billion.

As a result, the price of the Dragon Soaring Technique quickly surpassed it!

And that's not even the most outrageous part.

The moment Yang Meier finished speaking, the numbers on the screen changed again.

"Three billion?! Guest number 03 has bid three billion!"

Yang Meier smiled and announced to the audience, but her eyes secretly swept towards the private rooms on the second floor.

She knew that the top ten customers in the order were all friends of Lu Yuan, who were not only rich but also powerful. In the entire Yandu, only they could afford such a high price!

Xu Lanshan, who was in a private room, also thought of this and subconsciously glanced at the windows of the other private rooms.

Because the Mythical Beast Auction House maintains excellent secrecy, he still doesn't know the identity of the person who has repeatedly competed with him for treasures, but he is certain that the other party is one of Lu Yuan's acquaintances.

but.

No matter who the other party is, he will not easily let go of this Dragon Soaring Technique!

"Three billion!"

Before everyone could recover from the high price of 3.5 billion, Xu Lanshan made another bid.

Sitting in the private room, Duan Nanyi frowned slightly, and his expression became even more serious.

Don't be fooled by his sudden increase of 400 million; it's just one of his bidding tactics to give the other party the illusion that he's still in complete control.

But in reality...

The price of 3.5 billion is already close to the limit of the funds he can come up with. If he continues to raise the price, it is still uncertain who will win.

only.

He will absolutely not admit defeat so easily.

"Three billion!"

As Duan Nanyi raised the bid again, the atmosphere of the auction reached a new climax.

And at that very moment.

An extremely arrogant voice suddenly rang out from a corner of the venue.

"Forty billion!"

As the voice faded, the entire auction hall seemed to be put on pause. Not only did all sounds disappear, but everyone present froze in their tracks.

Four billion?!

Such a price is rarely seen even at the most prestigious auctions!

Who on earth would dare to set such an outrageous price right off the bat!

The crowd looked in the direction of the sound and saw three people wearing black trench coats, their faces obscured, standing in the corner of the venue.

If the other party hadn't made the offer, they wouldn't have even noticed that there were other people standing there.

"I'll offer four billion for this Dragon Soaring Technique!"

As if afraid that Yang Meier on the stage hadn't heard him make his bid, the leader of the men in black spoke again in a deep voice.

Yang Meier was also brought back to her senses by his deep voice and quickly repeated it to the audience.

"This guest in black has offered four billion. Are there any other guests bidding higher?"

Yang Meier's voice instantly brought the frozen atmosphere and sounds back to normal. Many people began to whisper among themselves, while occasionally glancing back at the man in black in the corner.

Even Xu Lanshan, Duan Nanyi, and the others standing in the private room on the second floor couldn't help but turn their gazes toward them.

"When did these people reappear in Yandu?"

"Judging from their attire, they are probably not local residents of Yandu, or they are either disguised by Shenwu Pavilion and Lingyao Hall."

"Even among us, few can afford a price of four billion."

Not long after the beast tide attack, most of the guests who were able to go up to the second-floor private rooms had donated a lot of money to the reconstruction of Yandu. At this time, the funds available were limited. The price of 4 billion might not have been considered too high in the past, but now it is considered a very high price.

then.

Many people shook their heads, completely out of the game.

In the end, only Xu Lanshan and Duan Nanyi remained, struggling to hold on.

Even after two rounds of price increases, they still couldn't keep up and were defeated.

"The man in black has offered 4.5 billion. Are there any other bidders present?"

Yang Meier looked up and glanced at the audience, but no one responded to her, and there was no new sound coming from the second-floor private rooms.

Upon seeing this.

Yang Meier picked up the wooden mallet beside her and began to read the countdown.

"4.5 billion at a time."

"Four billion twice."

"Four billion...three times!"

"make a deal!"

"Congratulations to this guest for successfully acquiring the Dragon Soaring Technique for 4.5 billion!"

With Yang Meier's loud announcement, the sixth-tier cultivation technique—Dragon Soaring Technique—was finally auctioned off.

However, to everyone's surprise, the one who successfully bid for the Dragon Soaring Technique was not a local force from Yandu, but three men in black who appeared out of nowhere.

In a short time.

Opinions vary.

Everyone is speculating about the true identities of these three men in black.

With the successful auction of the Dragon Soaring Kung Fu manual, all ten items up for auction tonight have concluded, and the auction has come to a successful close.

"Guests who successfully bid on the items, please take your bidding paddle and find the nearest staff member. They will guide you to the backstage area of ​​the auction to complete the final transaction. Thank you again to all the guests who came to support the auction tonight. We look forward to seeing you again next time!"

After Yang Meier finished her closing remarks, the lights in the entire venue suddenly turned on, and all the guests left the venue in an orderly manner under the guidance of security personnel. Those who were lucky enough to win the auction items found the nearest staff member as instructed by Yang Meier and went backstage to make payments.

at the same time.

Inside a special private room on the second floor.

Lu Yuan, who had been sitting silently on the sofa watching the entire auction, suddenly made a move.

He picked up his phone and dialed a number.

"Old Mu, proceed with the operation according to plan!"
