There are dozens of items, but not every one is in competition.
Some items went unsold because no one bid on them.
Some items only have one or two bidders, the price is raised only once or twice, and the bidding ends in a minute or two.
Soon, the auction began for the third item that possessed spiritual power.
During this time, an item with a large amount of spiritual energy was also auctioned off by that group of people, which made Lin Yun even more certain that this group of people might know about the existence of spiritual items.
At the very least, the other party can sense the spiritual energy on an object. This is certain. If the other party frequently comes into contact with such objects, then spiritual objects are clearly different from other objects, and these people should also know this.
These people also participated in the bidding for this item, but it was so popular that it quickly went up in price.
"Eighteen million!"
Ultimately, this item, which started at over two million, was once again auctioned off by Lin Yun for an extremely high price.
"Depend on……"
One of the group of people was speechless again.
Can we please stop this? The owner of Qingyun Restaurant not only got involved again, but also kept raising the price so high. How are they supposed to bid?
"Have we really not offended him?" the man asked his companion again, somewhat incredulous.
"Could it be that we don't know when or where we offended him?" Some people began to have doubts.
This is the third time already, it's too much of a coincidence.
“I think the owner of Qingyun Restaurant should be able to sense the existence of spiritual energy, or even the existence of spirituality. Otherwise, this is too much of a coincidence…” someone mused.
“In that case, we’re in trouble today. The other party is obviously not short of money, but we won this auction from other spirit hunters. It’s too much of a loss to let this person get involved. Otherwise, we should talk to the owner of Qingyun Restaurant and talk to the other spirit hunters. We should at least make up for the loss…” one person said dejectedly.
“We can’t keep giving in like this. Even if the owner of Qingyun Restaurant is rich, he probably won’t be willing to spend too much money on this. If we let him spend a small amount of money upfront, he might have more funds to compete with us later. If we don’t let him spend a lot of money now, he might not compete with us at all later…” someone said in a deep voice.
“However, if we raise the price and he doesn’t continue bidding, we’ll have to buy these items at a high price. That means we won’t have much money left to use, and that item that definitely has a spirit might have an accident…” one person said, frowning.
At this moment, they were in a dilemma. It seemed that no matter what they did at this auction, they were bound to lose money.
In particular, this kind of unnecessary loss hurt them deeply.
“I think the other party isn’t ignorant of the rules. After bidding on the first item, they didn’t participate in the second, the third, and the fourth… Perhaps they’ve guessed who we are and want to split this item with us…” someone said thoughtfully.
"Um?"
"That seems to be the case?"
"Could it be that the other person is also a spirit seeker, but hasn't entered the circle...?"
These people frowned.
Some of the spirit hunters set rules... but not all spirit hunters participated. It only restricted most of them. Occasionally, other spirit hunters would appear and compete with them for items at the auction.
At this point, the other party becomes less rule-abiding.
Some are new spirit hunters, or those who are out of touch with the community and its rules. Others are spirit hunters who simply don't want to join the community; they either have immense wealth or immense influence.
Kind-hearted spirit hunters, if they guess their identity or that they are like-minded people, might give them a break.
The domineering spirit hunters wouldn't let them have a chance, so everyone had to rely on their own abilities.
It's just unclear which type of person the owner of Qingyun Restaurant is.
Since the other party hasn't gone too far, they shouldn't pressure them too much.
A fight between the two would only result in mutual destruction.
With that in mind, they gave up on the auction for the item.
What they didn't know was... that Lin Yun had given up on the auction of the second and fourth items... because the second and fourth items possessed absolutely no spiritual energy. If they had known, they would have been mortified...
They bid on these items because they wanted to acquire items that possessed spiritual power, didn't they?
Lin Yun photographed all the sentient beings, and they photographed all the non-sentient beings. How speechless is this?
The following items no longer contain items that possess a large amount of spiritual energy but lack spirituality.
Soon, the auction began on the auction stage for the fourth item that possessed spiritual power.
This is a jade wine pot, adorned with various exquisite carvings. It is said to have been a tribute item presented by a small country during the Ming Dynasty.
There are still many people who like this item. The starting price of 2.6 million was quickly raised to 9.8 million. That group of people also made a bid, and they all looked solemn.
They judged that this item was very likely to possess a spiritual quality.
"Twenty million!"
Finally, when the item was auctioned for 15 million, Lin Yun made another move, bidding 20 million.
"What's going on? He's made another move?"
"Could it be that he gave us those two items earlier, but he just didn't sense that those two items possessed any spiritual energy...?"
Seeing Lin Yun make another move, the group's expressions immediately turned ugly, and one of them whispered.
It's normal that the other party didn't sense any spiritual energy in the first two items. This is because, according to the rules of this auction house, they can guarantee that these items are genuine. They can provide very detailed pictures and guarantee their authenticity, without any special effects. However, if you want to see them up close or even handle them, you can do so for one or two items occasionally, but not all of them without certain connections.
Even if you can observe it up close, without enough time, you cannot determine whether an object has a large amount of spiritual energy, let alone whether it possesses spirituality, which is even more difficult to determine in a short time.
This is also why they cannot analyze all the items accurately.
Then, the other party may also be in the same situation, or even worse than them.
"Twenty-two million!"
One of the men in the group changed his expression and finally gritted his teeth and shouted.
He decided not to give in any longer.
His companions all remained silent, not uttering a word.
In their view, the privilege of being a spirit hunter at this auction belonged to them, and now several items were being snapped up one after another without them even competing with the other party, which was too frustrating.
"Twenty-five million!"
Lin Yun said calmly.
"Twenty-six million!"
One of the bidders gritted his teeth and shouted again.
Thirty million!
Lin Yun's expression remained calm and composed.
"Whoosh—"
Seeing this, the entire audience was in an uproar again. An item with a starting price of over two million was auctioned off for thirty million. That's incredibly extravagant, probably comparable to the prices of some of the top items at this auction.
This jade pot will probably make the news after the auction ends.
"Give up..."
One of the people sighed.
Thirty million, we can't keep filming like this.
This item is only very likely to possess spirituality, not 100% spirituality. Even if they can acquire it at this price, they will suffer a huge loss if the item does not possess spirituality.
Lin Yun's appearance made them a little worried about their plans. They decided to pool their funds to buy that item that definitely possessed spiritual power.
