"sure!"
Looking at the seven sets of skills with an average price of over four hundred seventh-tier Holy Spirit Stones, Liu Zhaodi couldn't help but praise them. Men need recognition, and she had done her homework very well.
"You flatter me, it's the quality of the items that matters!" Jiang Yuan politely denied, but since the items were all his, it goes without saying who deserved the credit.
"The next item is the Crimson Blood Fruit, which is also the last item in the second round of bidding!" Liu Zhaodi whispered a reminder.
How many rounds of bidding are there in this auction?
Jiang Yuan had essentially become the host of the auction, and this overstepping of his authority did not provoke Liu Zhaodi's resentment; on the contrary, she was genuinely happy.
"There will be three rounds in total! The last round is the grand finale, and every item is a rare treasure!" Liu Zhaodi said mysteriously.
"Since the treasure is so precious, why would anyone put it up for auction? Wouldn't it be better to keep it for ourselves?" Jiang Yuan wondered.
Liu Zhaodi shook her head and explained, "Many people get treasures just because they are lucky, but good luck does not mean good strength. Rather than being guilty of possessing a treasure, it is better to seek wealth elsewhere."
"Besides, in this world, you might end up dead in the street the very next day if you carry a valuable treasure! But the Holy Spirit Stone is different. Many self-proclaimed righteous organizations still care about their reputation and won't resort to blatant robbery."
Jiang Yuan nodded in agreement, acknowledging that carrying treasures was different from carrying Holy Spirit Stones.
"The price of the Crimson Blood Fruit can be increased slightly, so you can make more profit!" Liu Zhaodi whispered in his ear.
Jiang Yuan did not respond upon hearing this. The Crimson Blood Fruit is a treasure, but the more there are, the lower its value becomes. If the group purchase price is still so high, it may fail to sell at auction, which is obviously not what Jiang Yuan wants to see.
"Next up is the last item in the second round of bidding—the Crimson Blood Fruit!"
The display case was pushed up and down, but this time it contained a fiery red spiritual fruit.
"The Crimson Blood Fruit is the best spiritual fruit to strengthen the weak physique of the human race. You must know that the human race's foundation is too weak. They are born with not only poor physical bodies but also poor souls. This Crimson Blood Fruit is undoubtedly the key to solving this deficiency!"
Jiang Yuan paused for five seconds to allow everyone present to digest the knowledge about the Blazing Blood Vermilion Fruit. After the atmosphere subtly changed, he continued, "A total of two hundred Blazing Blood Vermilion Fruits will be auctioned this time, divided into two groups. The starting price for each group is five hundred and twenty ninth-tier Holy Spirit Stones. Holy Spirit Stones of sixth-tier quality or higher can be replaced with equivalent Holy Spirit Stones!"
The price of 520 was a result of his careful consideration. He wouldn't make much money with a starting bid of 500, and he wouldn't be able to sell it if he raised the price too high, so 520 was a good price.
The logic behind raising the price is simple, but the number 520 took on a different meaning in the ears of someone with ulterior motives, namely Liu Zhaodi.
"Is he indirectly sending me a message?" Liu Zhaodi smiled like an aunt. This "I love you" was so rushed, she didn't even have time to grasp it.
Because someone had already placed a bid, the starting price of 520 was immediately surpassed.
"One set, six hundred ninth-tier Holy Spirit Stones!"
A very clear and arrogant voice rang out in the hall. Jiang Yuan turned his head and saw that it was Yin Cha, the warlord commander who had not spoken until now.
The sudden increase of one hundred dollars plunged the entire venue into a deathly silence. Who could bear such a price increase? After all, others were planning to add one or two Holy Spirit Stones at a time, but now it was a hundred dollars straight up. Who could stand that?
Seeing that no one was bidding, Jiang Yuan waited for ten seconds before announcing, "Six hundred ninth-tier Holy Spirit Stones, first time!"
"Six hundred ninth-tier Holy Spirit Stones, second time!"
"Seven hundred ninth-tier Holy Spirit Stones!"
A single sentence broke the brief silence of the auction hall, followed by frenzied applause, as they recognized the bidder as the young girl seated in the VIP section of the Ji family's residence.
"Seven hundred yuan?" Jiang Yuan's heart skipped a beat. This was too much money.
"Two sets!" Bu Yao added two more words after stating the unit price, which only made the auction hall even more excited.
Yin Cha glanced at Bu Yao's location, but unable to confirm her identity, she could only turn back awkwardly. The price of seven hundred yuan was beyond her means. Even if their warlords possessed a ninth-grade mine, that was not a reason to squander money so recklessly.
With the high price of 700 ninth-tier Holy Spirit Stones, there was almost no competition, and Bu Yao easily acquired 200 Blazing Blood Vermilion Fruits.
"The second round of auction is over. Next is the third round of auction, where all the most anticipated items will be presented." Liu Zhaodi announced the end of the second round of auction with dignified and elegant steps.
"Why are you dragging your feet like this? Auctions are usually very quick."
Some people in the audience started to complain because there were less than fifty items up for auction that morning, which was not a large number for an auction with hundreds of bidders.
"There will be a five-minute break during the auction, and our customer service staff will then hand over the auction items to the bidders!"
After Liu Zhaodi finished speaking, she pulled Jiang Yuan and ran off the stage.
"What are you doing? I'm a bidder!" Jiang Yuan immediately shook off her hand, otherwise this misunderstanding would have been impossible to explain.
"Didn't you say you'd help me host the auction? Where are we going if you're not coming backstage with me?" Liu Zhaodi was clearly using her thick skin to her advantage, grabbing his sleeve if he wouldn't let her hold his hand.
"Backstage!" Jiang Yuan seemed interested.
"Let's go, I'll show you around the three final treasures. These three are priceless. If they're successfully auctioned off, the Holy Spirit Stones will fetch a huge sum!" Liu Zhaodi seemed very confident about the final items of this auction.
"Wait a minute!"
Jiang Yuan first used the communication stone to explain to Ning Yanlan, and only made a decision after confirming that she was not 'angry'.
"Alright, let's go take a look!"
“You two don’t look like a married couple at all. You’re just pretending, aren’t you?” Liu Zhaodi raised an eyebrow, having actually guessed Jiang Yuan’s little trick just now.
"Why do you say that?" Jiang Yuan asked with a faint smile.
"Hmm!" Liu Zhaodi pointed to her head and said, "I don't know why, I can only say it's an intuition!"
"Women's intuition is very accurate, but unfortunately, you're not a woman!" Jiang Yuan said half-jokingly.
"What do you mean? I, Liu Zhaodi, am a truly adorable girl, and you actually doubt my gender!" Liu Zhaodi immediately objected.
Jiang Yuan simply smiled at her words and looked at the three glass cases backstage that were heavily guarded.
"These three won't be the final items!" Jiang Yuan's gaze lingered on the largest glass case. If the Holy Coffin was the most likely to exist, it would undoubtedly be there.
"Yes, the three items for auction are, in order: the Four Seasons Spear Technique with a starting bid of 1,000, a Beast Egg with a starting bid of 5,000, and a Holy Coffin with a starting bid of 10,000! By the way, the unit here is ninth-tier Holy Spirit Stones!"
