"What an idiot! He actually revealed the function of the Amber Heart, causing me to waste so many spirit stones. It seems that tonight's auction is bound to cause a bloody storm."
"Don't be angry, Mr. Li. You are the most famous alchemist on the Donglin Continent. No matter how much those people raise the price, they will not make the elixir. Those who want you to make the Nine-Transformation Resurrection Pill must give you a pill as a reward."
The old man's expression improved a little, "You are still good at talking. Reward!"
The servant's eyes lit up as he took the bottle of pills she casually threw over. The other servants looked envious, as the pills that Mr. Li rewarded were not ordinary pills.
At this time, Leng Qingning was eating fruit while casually raising the price, looking like a rich and inhumane person. Of course, it would be even better if someone gave her a massage. She glanced at the man next to her.
"Is there something wrong?" Yan Ci looked at her coldly.
"Nothing, I just feel a little uncomfortable in my waist and back. Ouch, why can't I reach it? It hurts so much~"
Yan Ci raised an eyebrow and looked at her without saying a word, his eyes seeming to see through everything. He cracked his wrist and said, "Since you're in so much pain, should I give you a massage?"
Leng Qingning was so frightened that she immediately became alert and quickly stood up and said, "I suddenly don't feel so much pain anymore. Oh, the price outside has increased so much. No, I should also increase the price."
"How can that be possible? I must keep my promises to others."
“Ahhh!——” Bursts of shrill screams came from Box No. 1.
The competition for the Amber Heart outside has reached a fierce level, with the price reaching a sky-high price of 110,000.
The monks in the hall on the first floor could no longer raise the price and chose to remain silent. The only ones left were the guests in the private rooms who kept bidding.
Qi Yunting suddenly called the waiter, "Wait, please say hello to the guests in Box 1 and Box 7 for me."
The waiter looked at the note in his hand with some embarrassment and said, "Sir, this isn't a good idea. The owner has a rule that we shouldn't disturb others during the auction. If the owner finds out, he'll punish me!"
"How do you do things? I asked you to find out, but I didn't ask you to do anything harmful. Does your young lady know that you do this?"
The young servant had no choice but to come to Box No. 1. Who in the entire auction house didn't know that the young lady was madly in love with Mr. Yun?
That’s right, Qi Yunting’s pseudonym here is Yunsheng.
"Qin Yi, what are you doing here?"
Qin Yi looked around carefully, then quietly approached the waiter at the door of Leng Qingning's box and asked secretly.
"Qin Er, do you know the origin of the guest in this box?"
Qin Er immediately widened his eyes and looked at him with great displeasure.
"Qin Yi, you are so foolish! How could you do this? The auction house has clearly stated that no matter who the other party is, you are not allowed to privately inquire about or disclose any information about the customer. This is exactly why our Qin's Auction House has been able to exist for so many years. If you do this, the owner will punish you!"
Qin Yi was so angry that he kept cursing in his heart: If it weren't for the fact that the other party was using the eldest lady to pressure him, he wouldn't bother to pay attention to Qin Yi, this idiot.
This guy is very methodical in doing things. Even if the other person is the head of the family, he will still require the other person to strictly follow the rules.
"We have worked together for so many years, you can't bear to see me being embarrassed, right?" Qin Yi tried to persuade him, but Qin Er still stood still.
"Ahhh!——" An extremely shrill scream came from inside, followed by a man's voice.
"It's too soon, I haven't used my full strength yet, don't worry, take your time, I will make you feel very comfortable!"
"Ahhh, don't come over here!——"
Qin Yi and Qin Er blushed at the same time. No one had expected that at this critical moment of the auction, the two people in the box would play such a big game.
Qin Yi returned empty-handed, cursing all the way.
"Damn Qin Er, you really think you're so important. One day I'll make you pay!" Qi Yunting was furious when he learned that he hadn't received any news.
"Box No. 5 offers 140,000 spirit stones!"
Qi Yunting pressed the bell angrily.
"Box number three offers 141,000 spirit stones!"
"Box No. 1 offers 160,000!"
"Box number five offers 170,000!"
"Box No. 3 costs 171,000"
In the box, Ling Yin pursed her lips and said aggrievedly: "Brother Yun, we don't have any more spirit stones. Two hundred and ten thousand is the most the three of us can come up with." She almost had to pawn the magic weapons on her.
The reason she followed him was because he had a powerful backer. Now this man was actually asking him to borrow spirit stones. She was a little suspicious. Was the backer behind him also fake?
Qi Yunting was extremely unwilling. He did not want to give up the Amber Heart. With the Amber Heart, he could refine the Great Dream of Life Pill.
"I knew Ling Yin was the best. Don't worry, with these 210,000 spirit stones, we will definitely win."
"Box No. 3 offers 211,000 spirit stones." He spent most of the day to collect these 1,000 spirit stones.
Leng Qingning was tired of this back and forth, so she just rang the bell.
"Box No. 1 offers 230,000 spirit stones!"
The monks below were stunned when they heard the price.
"The people in this box are so arrogant. They didn't even blink an eye when they spent 230,000 spirit stones."
After hearing this, the people in the other boxes stopped raising the price.
The masked woman in box number five gave up. The maid next to her asked, "Miss, are we not going to raise the price anymore? This Amber Heart will be of great use to you."
The masked woman in blue blinked her beautiful eyes, her eyelashes fluttering like dancing butterflies. "No need. Two hundred and thirty thousand is already more than it deserves. We are still waiting to bid on other things. Maybe there will be something better later."
The maid thought what the young lady said made sense, so she didn't say anything else.
She couldn't help but look towards Box No. 1. Those people in the ancestral sect always said that the cultivators in the lower continent were very poor. After seeing it today, she realized that the rumors were misleading.
"Two hundred and thirty thousand per time"
"Two hundred and thirty thousand two times"
"Two hundred and thirty thousand three hundred, the Amber Heart now belongs to the guest in Box One. Now we will begin the auction of the Star Wheel."
Hongzhu clapped her hands and solemnly brought the red tray. When she lifted the silk cloth, she saw a purple jade compass lying inside, with a purple five-pointed star floating above it.
When the red bead gently moved the five-pointed star on it, the sky above the entire auction seemed to turn into a starry universe, and in an instant, colorful meteors slid down from the sky with dazzling brilliance.
"My dear guests, I'm sure you're not yet aware of the purpose of this Star-Revolving Heavenly Wheel. I'm sure you've all heard of the mighty name of Lord Haotian, right?"
The crowd, who were originally indifferent, straightened their backs and stared at her when they heard the words of Lord Haotian.
