The sudden announcement of a bid brought everyone present back to their senses.
"Sixteen billion?!"
"Who on earth is so generous?"
"Wouldn't it be better to auction off a spirit weapon at this price? Why insist on bidding on a pet cub!"
The guests below the stage were buzzing with discussion, and Xu Lanshan couldn't help but frown.
Number 03, single digit...
Based on his observation, the bidders who held single-digit bids were all VIPs in the private rooms on the second floor, so this person should be a friend of Lu Yuan's.
"I didn't expect Mr. Lu to have such a generous friend. I wonder if you could introduce me to him after the auction?"
Lu Yuan simply smiled, feigning ignorance.
"Mr. Xu, what are you saying? All the guests who received the invitation are friends of Mr. Lu. If you would like to get to know them, you can come to the small banquet before the auction next time, and I will introduce you to a few more."
Xu Lanshan understood that Lu Yuan did not want to reveal the other party's identity, so he could only smile and nod.
"Then I'll have to trouble you, Mr. Lu."
Lu Yuan smiled at him, then looked thoughtfully at the private room not far away.
At this moment, Duan Nanyi was sitting on the sofa, staring intently at the screen in front of him.
"I didn't expect Lu Yuan to put a Devouring-type cub up for auction. Does this mean that the cub he contracted is stronger than the Blood Tiger Lizard?"
Thinking of Lu Yuan, who always appeared gentle and harmless, he slightly curled the corners of his mouth.
"interesting……"
...
Xu Lanshan ultimately did not raise the price further.
Just as Lu Yuan had thought, his goal was cultivation techniques and spiritual weapons, and he didn't have any extra budget to spend on pet cubs.
With Yang Meier's final bid, the Blood Tiger Lizard was successfully acquired by Duan Nanyi.
The auction continued.
"Next up is the ninth item, which I believe is the ultimate goal for many in the room..."
Upon hearing Yang Meier's words, everyone present couldn't help but get excited.
It's finally coming!
If nothing unexpected happens, it should be the same martial arts manual listed in the auction catalog!
Everyone instinctively held their breath, and then they heard Yang Meier's melodious voice.
"Fifth-tier low-grade cultivation technique - Myriad Flowers Soaring!"
"Wanhua Zongyou mainly cultivates movement techniques and does not focus on attack. However, I believe that all of you experienced seniors understand that movement techniques are just as important as attack methods in battle!"
Upon hearing this, everyone present suddenly began to breathe heavily.
"It really is a low-grade fifth-tier cultivation technique?!"
"My God! A fifth-tier cultivation technique! Although it's not as high-level as that incomplete page of the Frost Palm technique from before, at least it's complete!"
"Has anyone counted how many cultivation techniques this is that the Divine Beast Auction House has brought out?!"
"Just who is the owner of this auction house?!"
"..."
Heated discussions erupted from every corner of the auction hall.
They were not only amazed by the quality of the cultivation techniques, but also shocked by Lu Yuan's extravagance in auctioning off these techniques one after another!
But all they could do was speculate wildly.
As early as when the first cultivation technique and spiritual weapon were put up for auction, many forces tried to investigate Lu Yuan's identity, but all of them returned empty-handed without exception.
Even disregarding his cultivation techniques and magical artifacts, this alone is enough to show that Lu Yuan's identity is definitely extraordinary.
Those who came to participate in the auction were all there for the items. Lu Yuan's identity made no difference to them; they just needed to remember that he was someone they could not afford to offend.
"Please be quiet, everyone!"
Yang Meier stood on the stage and gestured for the auction hall to fall silent instantly.
"The fifth-tier low-grade cultivation technique, 'Wanhua Zongyou,' has a starting bid of 500 million Blue Star Coins, with each bid increment not less than 50 million!"
The moment the words were spoken, the images on the screen began scrolling wildly again.
The scene was much more intense compared to the blood tiger lizard.
Why didn't Mr. Xu place a bid?
Lu Yuan looked at Xu Lanshan beside him and raised an eyebrow in surprise.
"What's the rush?" Xu Lanshan picked up his teacup, took a sip, and said calmly, "Anyway, the highest bidder wins the auction. I just need to make sure my bid is the highest."
Lu Yuan chuckled upon hearing this.
"Mr. Xu is indeed very composed!"
Compared to Xu Lanshan, the guests in the audience were completely red-eyed. Even with Yang Meier's kind words of persuasion, quite a few people still smashed the remote control with excessive force.
And this is after they have tried their best to restrain themselves!
After all, the weakest among those present was a Beast Tamer of the Earth Spirit level. If they really put their strength into it, they might smash through the chairs they were sitting on!
The price of Wanhua Zongyou quickly soared to one billion, but the rate of increase did not stop, and the price continued to rise.
The speed has slowed down, but at least the staff can keep up with the quotes now.
"Guest number 12 has bid 1.2 billion!"
"Guest number 25 has bid 1.25 billion!"
"..."
Bids came one after another, and the price rose to an astonishing 1.8 billion!
Just then, Xu Lanshan finally made a move.
"Guest number 02 has offered two billion!"
Number 02 was the number that Xu Lanshan was controlling remotely.
They didn't make a move until they did, and then they immediately added two hundred million!
Such a price made many people shake their heads.
Not to mention that they don't have that much money at all, even if they did, they would have to keep some for the company's cash flow, since not everyone is as wealthy and generous as Xu Lanshan.
The number of different numbers appearing on the screen decreased until only two companies remained.
"Guest number 03 has bid 2.6 billion!"
"Guest number 02 has bid 2.7 billion!"
"Guest number 03 has bid 2.8 billion!"
"..."
Number 02 and Number 03, namely Xu Lanshan and Duan Nanyi, have become completely locked in a fierce battle.
The two of them talked back and forth without even thinking much.
If you find that the number on the screen is not yours, immediately tap the remote control.
Seeing the prices continue to rise, everyone present was speechless with surprise, their mouths agape.
finally.
In the end, Xu Lanshan prevailed, winning the bid for Wanhua Zongyou with a price of 3.5 billion, surpassing Duan Nanyi.
