The fierce bidding just now finally died down. After all, it was a black market transaction, and both the buyer and the seller had some risks. If the money spent was almost the same as buying it openly at the Chamber of Commerce, then it would not make much sense.
Donkey Head looked at the competitors around him, with a hint of pride in his eyes. He was the one who called out the price of 100 million. If no one competed with him again, these 100 beast soul relics would be in his pocket.
"One hundred million, the first time..." The fox girl stretched out her tone and secretly glanced at Gao Weihu who was hiding beside the auction table.
Such a price did not meet her expectations, and Mu Hanyan was a little disappointed. According to the terms agreed upon by her and Gao Huwei, the black market would charge a 30% fee after the auction. She only got 70 million, which was 30 million short of the normal price mentioned by Gao Huwei.
Gao Weihu frowned and secretly winked at the followers around him.
"One hundred million, second..."
"One hundred and five million." Someone in the crowd shouted.
"One hundred and ten million." Someone else shouted.
"One hundred and twenty million." The auction had been a little quiet, but the two of them competed to raise the price, and soon the atmosphere became lively again, and others followed suit.
Although the normal selling price of a five-colored soul bead is one million taels of silver, it is often out of stock and can only be seen at auctions held by large chambers of commerce. A final transaction price of four or five million is normal, and it is rare to find such a large quantity, so even if you add tens of millions, it is still a good deal.
The price kept rising. Mu Hanyan noticed that the two people who had been bidding when the atmosphere was dull just now did not continue, but hid in the crowd with their heads down.
Mu Hanyan glanced at Gao Weihu meaningfully. Those two were obviously Gao Weihu's shills, specifically there to save the day when things were going south. This fat man looked rough, but he was actually quite smart.
"Two hundred million!" In the end, these one hundred five-colored soul beads were sold for two hundred million.
Mu Hanyan's face, hidden beneath the mask, also showed a hint of a smile. Even after deducting the black market auction fees, she still had 140 million to take home, which was much better than she had expected.
Mu Hanyan was happy, but the donkey-headed man wasn't. His eyes flashed with ferocity as he darted around the crowd. If those two hadn't interfered, he would have only spent 100 million to buy the 100 Five-Colored Souls. But in the end, the price was raised to 200 million. He only had 150 million on him, so he had no choice but to part with the money. He hated those two guys.
Unfortunately, after completing the task, the two men hid in the crowd, and he couldn't find them after searching for a long time.
A man wearing a dog-head mask handed over the silver on the spot, took the one hundred multicolored soul beads and left the black market with a look of joy in his eyes.
Seeing the joy in his eyes, the others secretly regretted their decision. While two hundred million wasn't cheap on the black market, it was still much cheaper than a regular auction. Crucially, such a large quantity was extremely rare even on the black market, meaning that person had actually made a killing. Worst of all, their master had given them a death order before they came; returning empty-handed would be a difficult matter. It was a shame they hesitated and missed their chance.
Fortunately, there were still 400 five-colored soul beads left on the stage, so they still had a chance, and everyone cheered up.
The fox girl was obviously a veteran of auctions. Seeing the regret in the eyes of the people below the stage, she quickly started the next part of the auction without waiting for their enthusiasm to fade.
Two hundred and thirty million, two hundred and forty million, two hundred and fifty million! Because the first auction failed, the competition became even more intense. As the number of Five-Colored Soul Orbs dwindled, the price kept rising. The final transaction price made Mu Hanyan smile from ear to ear.
However, Mu Hanyan also noticed that the reason why such a high price was achieved was due to the contributions of Gao Weihu's two assistants. If it weren't for them saving the situation every time when the auction was dull, the final result would definitely not be so satisfactory.
"Next are the last one hundred five-colored soul beads. Those who missed out before should hurry up and don't miss the opportunity again. The rules are the same as before, the starting price is 30 million, and each increase in price must not be less than one million. Let's begin." The fox girl pushed the last one hundred five-colored soul beads in front of her.
I don’t know if it’s because things are rare and valuable, but although the fantastic lights are not as strong as before, they are even more attractive.
"One hundred million!" As soon as the words fell, the man wearing the donkey-head mask roared with red eyes. After roaring, he looked at the people around him fiercely.
Staring at him with such ferocious eyes, everyone felt a chill in their hearts. It was clear this guy was truly furious. Despite the mask, the Temple of Life governed only thirteen temples, so it wasn't difficult to guess his identity. They didn't want to offend him easily.
But thinking of their master's order, they were unwilling to give up. They were caught in a dilemma and were hesitant, so no one followed suit in bidding.
"One hundred million, first time..." The fox girl subconsciously glanced at Gao Weihu.
Gao Weihu frowned again, and his men understood and turned around quickly.
"One hundred and five million."
"One hundred and ten million." The two agents hiding in the crowd received the order and jumped out again.
"You two, you, you, are you really trying to make things difficult for me?" Donkey Head finally found the two people and cursed at them while pointing at them.
"It's a fair auction, the highest bidder wins. If you can afford the price, then bid. If you can't, then just go away." One of them replied bluntly.
"Looking for death!" The five-colored soul beads that could have been obtained for 100 million were missed because of the trouble made by these two guys. Then they were auctioned at a sky-high price of more than 200 million several times, forcing him not even to have the chance to bid. Donkey Head had been holding a lot of anger in his heart for a long time, and this time he could no longer bear it and slapped out with a palm.
"Ah..." There was a flash of light in the palm of his hand, and the man spurted blood from his mouth and flew out from the crowd with a scream.
What a powerful strength! Mu Hanyan was slightly surprised. Whether it was the speed of this man's attack or the power of his palm, it was enough to rival the masters of the sword master realm. In a hurry, Mu Hanyan couldn't even tell what kind of divine art he was practicing. Obviously, his strength had exceeded the scope of the divine priest and reached the realm of the divine heart priest.
The others were also startled and subconsciously took a few steps back, keeping a distance from him, for fear of being implicated.
"You dare to compete with me? You must be tired of living." Donkey Head glanced at the man and said coldly, which seemed more like a warning to others.
"One hundred and eleven million, who else wants to snatch it from me?" Donkey Head glanced at everyone with a squint, then looked at the man lying on the ground vomiting blood. His meaning was clear: whoever dares to compete with me again will suffer the same fate!
Seeing this, no one else dared to bid and they all shut their mouths.
