Many people looked at Qin Ziling with rather strange eyes after he acquired a broken sword for 3 billion US dollars.
Most of them felt they were at a disadvantage, even though the sword was a magical artifact, it was now a damaged item.
Qin Ziling, the protagonist, paid no attention to the gazes of the crowd.
"Boss, you'd better be careful, this thing is really attractive," Lati said, glancing around.
Qin Ziling nodded: "I know."
He was well aware of the shockwaves that a magical artifact could cause, but whoever dared to covet it, they shouldn't blame him for being ruthless!
Items won at the auction will be handed over to the backstage area by the organizers and guarded by designated personnel until the auction ends, at which point the transaction will take place. Of course, if the buyer cannot pay the price, they will not be able to take the auctioned item and will instead have to compensate the seller and the organizer for their losses!
Why ask for a price if you don't have the money? Isn't that just preventing someone in the second-highest price range from bidding on this item?
"Alright, everyone, it's time for tonight's auction to come to an end. After this next item, there shouldn't be much to see," Fan Dongcheng announced loudly. His voice seemed to have a magical quality, silencing the entire audience once again.
At that moment, an old man carrying a box flew over and landed lightly on the stage.
With a flick of his sleeve, he stirred up a wave of air.
Everyone's eyes narrowed; another expert!
"Let me introduce you all. This is Elder Cui, a renowned expert on the Dragon List. This is the item he is auctioning!" Fan Dongcheng smiled faintly. "Then please tell us about the wonders of this auction item, Elder Cui."
Everyone looked at him.
The old man, Cui Laodao, said, "Gentlemen, I have had some extraordinary encounters over the years. I accidentally obtained a mysterious stone, which is a crystal, entirely blood red. Please take a look!"
He opened the box, and inside lay a blood-red crystal.
Qin Ziling narrowed his eyes, revealing a glint of shrewdness.
Not only him, but even the powerful figures in the Western underworld were moved!
Philosopher's Stone!
That crystal really was the Philosopher's Stone!
Qin Ziling hadn't expected that the last soul crystal would actually be here.
Old Cui smiled slightly and said, "I suppose our Western friends have come here primarily for this stone. After a long period of investigation, I discovered that it has a name that drives countless Westerners crazy: the Philosopher's Stone!"
"Whoosh!"
Everyone was shocked.
Although few people in China have actually seen the Philosopher's Stone, they have only heard of this legendary object by chance.
Does the Philosopher's Stone really exist in the world?
"Hehe, I don't need to elaborate on its wonderful uses. This stone contains incomparably pure and boundless power. As long as you absorb it, your strength will reach an extremely terrifying level! The reason I auctioned it off is because I cannot absorb it either, so it is useless to me!"
"Now, it will be open to everyone, whether you are in China or abroad, as long as the price is reasonable!"
Old Master Cui smiled faintly and said, "I don't covet anything else, I just love money. So, go ahead and raise the price. The starting price is one hundred million US dollars! Raise the price as you like, there are no quotas. Let's begin!"
There was a moment of silence, then the first voice rang out: "One billion US dollars!"
brush!
Everyone stared wide-eyed.
Holy crap? The first bid went in for a billion?
Is this some kind of extravagant spending?
A masked man spoke up, and even with the mask on, he possessed an incomparably noble air.
"Temple! Hades!" a voice suddenly rang out.
Temple?
What the heck?
People in the martial arts world rarely come into contact with the Western underworld, so they are unaware of the existence of the temple.
At this moment, Fan Dongcheng explained, "The Temple is a super-dominant force in the West. They are incredibly powerful and have reached the pinnacle of the dark world. Zeus, the Lord of the Temple, is even listed as one of the three great kings of the dark world, and is revered as the God-Lord. As for his strength, judging by the standards of the Dragon Kingdom, I don't know what level he has reached..."
His explanation made the crowd understand a little, but many people were dismissive. In their view, the forces in the underworld were not even worth mentioning, and their reputation was not as high as that of the martial arts world.
Qin Ziling glanced at Fan Dongcheng with some surprise. This guy seemed to know quite a lot.
“As the lord of Nancheng, Fan Dongcheng naturally has some strength, and his background is equally mysterious. Even within the organization, he is probably something,” Murong Shun said at this moment.
Qin Ziling nodded. This was a ruthless and ambitious man!
One billion US dollars!
As Hades made his bid, others followed suit.
Of course, only a few extraordinary forces dared to raise the price, because only they dared to possess such a sacred object; others might not be fortunate enough to enjoy it!
Soon, with the bidding from various forces, the price of the Philosopher's Stone had reached two billion!
"Twenty-one billion! Plus three Body Shaping Pills!" The woman from the Chasing Moon Sect spoke again.
She stared intently at the Philosopher's Stone on the platform, a solemn look in her eyes.
She was born in Kunlun, a place rich in spiritual energy, and her perception of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is extremely sensitive. Obviously, she sensed that this crystal was extraordinary!
Old Cui's eyes lit up, and he smiled, "Is there anyone who can offer a higher price than this young lady?"
"3 billion!"
Just then, Qin Ziling spoke up.
Everyone: "..."
"3 billion? You still have that much money?" the woman said coldly to Qin Ziling.
Qin Ziling said calmly, "What do you care if I have money or not? If you want it, just raise the price."
"Who are you? Why are you vying for the Philosopher's Stone?" At this moment, a man in red robes stared at Qin Ziling, and a terrifying pressure surged from his body, directly landing on Qin Ziling.
Nightingale and Murong Shun's expressions changed, and they simultaneously released their auras to defend themselves.
It has to be said that the power was terrifying. Even Murong Shun could sense that the other party was indeed quite powerful!
Qin Ziling glanced indifferently at the man in red robes: "A cardinal of the Holy See? Do you believe me or not, if you dare to exert your pressure on me again, you won't be leaving China today?"
He spoke with a Western accent, so many people could understand him.
hiss!
Cardinals of the Vatican!
These are extremely mysterious figures! Even in the underworld, the cardinals are very famous, second only to the Pope, and their strength is terrifying. It is said that no one can survive in their hands!
This young man actually dares to spout such nonsense even knowing the other party's identity?
Where did this awesome guy come from?
