The auctioneer on stage, Liu Yuehe, immediately announced, "Guest number fifty-five has bid 185,000 spirit stones. Is there anyone else bidding higher? 185,000 spirit stones, first bid! 185,000 spirit stones, second bid! 185,000..."
"I bid 190,000 spirit stones!" A young man waving a folding fan suddenly raised his bidding paddle and shouted.
Liu Yuehe excitedly announced, "Young Master Number Sixty-One has bid 190,000 spirit stones! 190,000 spirit stones for the first bid! 190,000 spirit stones for the second bid—"
Before Liu Yuehe could finish speaking, the pot-bellied middle-aged man angrily declared, "I'll offer two hundred thousand spirit stones!"
The young man, fanning himself with a folding fan, said with a smile, "I never expected Mr. Wang to be so generous. I am truly humbled."
Liu Yuehe then shouted again, "Guest number fifty-five has bid two hundred thousand spirit stones for the Tranquil Heart and Wish! Two hundred thousand spirit stones for the first time, two hundred thousand spirit stones for the second time, two hundred thousand spirit stones for the third time!"
"make a deal!"
The first item was finally sold, and the second item was then put on the stage.
The second item up for auction was a longsword. Although it was only a fifth-grade spiritual weapon, the longsword was well-made and had an impressive appearance.
Furthermore, offensive magical artifacts are always more sought after than defensive and supportive ones, so the starting bid for this longsword was much higher than that for the Tranquil Heart and Wish.
"This sword is a fifth-grade spiritual weapon, named Flowing Fire. The starting price is 150,000 spirit stones, and each bid must be at least 5,000 spirit stones higher!"
Liu Yuehe had just announced the starting price and bidding rules when guests began raising their paddles to bid.
"150,000 spirit stones!"
"155,000 spirit stones!"
"I'll offer 160,000!"
"180,000!"
"187,000!"
Looking at the lively scene in the auction hall, Ye Feng couldn't help but smile.
Luo Mengxuan said, "I was worried that you wouldn't like such a noisy place, Junior Brother Ye, but I didn't expect you to like it so much."
"It's not a bad thing to have some excitement every now and then," Ye Feng said.
Zi Yue said somewhat impatiently, "Why hasn't the Nine-Turn Jade Dew Pill been brought to the stage yet?"
Ye Feng and Luo Mengxuan couldn't help but laugh.
"Don't worry, Ziyue, the Nine-Turn Jade Dew Pill will make its debut sooner or later," Luo Mengxuan said with a smile.
Ye Feng also said, "Yes, it's only a matter of time. Senior Sister Ziyue, you need to be patient."
Ziyue nodded and fell silent.
The second item sold, and the third item also sold.
Before we knew it, the seventh item for auction had been brought to the stage.
Zi Yue's eyes widened, and a look of joy appeared on her face, because the seventh item up for auction was the Nine-Turn Jade Dew Pill that she had been longing for!
The auctioneer on stage, Liu Yuehe, beaming, announced, "The seventh item for auction is a Grade 7 spiritual pill, the Nine-Turn Jade Dew Pill, and there are three of them. The Nine-Turn Jade Dew Pill has the effect of clearing the mind and brightening the spirit, allowing martial artists to control their true qi more skillfully. It will also be of great benefit if taken when breaking through a bottleneck!"
"Now, the Nine-Turn Jade Dew Pill is officially up for auction. The starting price is 100,000 low-grade spirit stones, and each bid must be at least 1,000 low-grade spirit stones higher!"
No sooner had Liu Yuehe finished speaking than Ziyue eagerly made her offer.
"One hundred thousand low-grade spirit stones!" Zi Yue shouted.
But as soon as Ziyue made her bid, someone else immediately offered a higher price.
"One hundred and thirty thousand low-grade spirit stones!"
"One hundred and five thousand spirit stones!"
"110,000 spirit stones!"
"One hundred and twenty thousand spirit stones!"
"I offer 120,000 spirit stones!"
Ziyue was getting a little anxious, but Yefeng smiled and said, "Senior Sister Ziyue, don't be so impatient. Wait patiently. It's not time to decide the winner yet."
Ziyue knew that Yefeng was right, so she nodded.
About fifteen minutes later, the price of the Nine-Turn Jade Dew Pill was driven up to 150,000 spirit stones.
There are fewer people bidding now than before, and the intervals between each bid have also been greatly extended.
Zi Yue felt the time was right, so she raised the number plate in her hand and said, "Sixteen thousand low-grade spirit stones!"
Liu Yuehe immediately looked at Ziyue and shouted, "Guest number twenty-one has bid 160,000 low-grade spirit stones for the Nine-Turn Jade Dew Pill! Is there anyone else bidding higher? 160,000 low-grade spirit stones, first time! 160,000 low-grade spirit stones, second time! 160,000 low-grade spirit stones, third time..."
With the deal about to be finalized, Ziyue's face lit up with joy.
Although 160,000 low-grade spirit stones is not a small amount, it is still much cheaper than exchanging tens of thousands of merit points for Nine-Turn Jade Dew Pills in the Treasure Hall of the Xuanji Sect.
But to Zi Yue's surprise, just as the deal was about to be completed, an old man suddenly said in a deep voice, "One hundred and sixty-three thousand low-grade spirit stones!"
The joy on Zi Yue's face vanished instantly.
"One hundred and sixty-five thousand low-grade spirit stones!" Zi Yue shouted.
"One hundred and sixty-eight thousand low-grade spirit stones," the old man said calmly.
"Seventeen thousand low-grade spirit stones!" Zi Yue said again.
"172,000 low-grade spirit stones."
The old man followed closely, seemingly determined to obtain the Nine-Turn Jade Dew Pill.
Zi Yue gritted her teeth in anger, wishing she could rip the old man's full head of white hair off his head.
"180,000 low-grade spirit stones!" Zi Yue raised the price again.
The old man didn't follow up immediately this time, but after only a slight hesitation, he said again, "185,000 low-grade spirit stones."
The price of the Nine-Turn Jade Dew Pill has been driven up to 185,000 low-grade spirit stones.
If the bidding continues, even if we manage to win the Nine-Turn Jade Dew Pill at auction, it won't be as worthwhile as exchanging it with merit points in the Treasure Hall.
Thinking of this, Zi Yue felt a pang of disappointment and cast a hateful glare at the old man.
"Mr. Number 54 has offered 185,000 low-grade spirit stones. Is there anyone else who can offer a higher price?"
The female auctioneer on the stage, Liu Yuehe, asked loudly, while looking towards Ziyue.
Just as Ziyue was about to speak, Yefeng suddenly said, "Senior Sister Ziyue, if you provide the medicinal materials for refining the Nine-Turn Jade Dew Pill, I can help you refine it."
"Junior Brother Ye, can you refine the Nine-Turn Jade Dew Pill?" Zi Yue asked in surprise.
“Of course,” Ye Feng said with a smile.
"Alright, I won't bid anymore. You can help me refine the pills!" Zi Yue said with a smile.
Zi Yue withdrew from the auction, and the Nine-Turn Jade Dew Pill fell into the hands of the old man for 185,000 low-grade spirit stones.
The auction was still ongoing, but Ye Feng and Luo Mengxuan had not yet participated in the bidding.
With Ye Feng's promise, Zi Yue had no more worries and relaxed completely.
"Junior Brother Ye, Senior Sister Luo, aren't you going to bid?" Zi Yue asked with a smile.
"Nothing has come up that interests me yet," Luo Mengxuan said, shaking her head.
“Yes, me too,” Night Wind said.
The eighth item for auction has been brought to the stage.
It was a medicinal herb, light blue in color, but with many silver veins inside.
