"The starting bid for this egg is five thousand ninth-tier Holy Spirit Stones!"
When Liu Zhaodi announced the starting price, the entire venue erupted in sighs. A considerable number of people didn't take the egg seriously, because no matter how well it was described, it was just an egg, nothing compared to five thousand ninth-tier Holy Spirit Stones.
However, a very small number of people hold different views. Opinions on the matter of the alien beast eggs vary, and only those with a discerning eye can see their extraordinary nature.
The restless atmosphere continued to affect the others. Even though there were a few people present who could produce five thousand ninth-tier Holy Spirit Stones, none of them spoke up.
"Yanlan, push the price up!"
Finally, Jiang Yuan couldn't hold back any longer. The Holy Spirit Stones they had just obtained from the auction amounted to 2,800 ninth-tier Holy Spirit Stones, and they had also acquired 500 Blazing Blood Vermilion Fruits from the previous transaction with the North City Alliance. Although this was still less than the starting bid of 5,000, don't forget that they also had a small seventh-tier mine, which was enough to pay for 5,000 ninth-tier Holy Spirit Stones.
"I thought you were so happy you'd forgotten about me!" Ning Yanlan said indignantly via telepathy.
"Where is the happiness? I'm doing this for the Holy Coffin!" Jiang Yuan explained.
"Hmph!" Ning Yanlan snorted softly, then played her card and bid, "Five thousand and ten yuan!"
The first bid surprised the auction house; they hadn't expected the vow, which had never been bid on before, to fetch a price of five thousand.
Jiang Yuan glanced around the venue. There weren't many people who could afford the price. As for the ownership of the Holy Coffin after the auction, he had a clear idea. The starting price of 10,000 was simply beyond their means, so they would have to find another way to acquire the Holy Coffin.
"Five thousand and ten yuan, for the first time!" Liu Zhaodi raised the auction gavel, ready to finalize the deal.
However, just when things seemed to have settled down, Bu Yao called out a second price increase.
"Five thousand five hundred yuan!" Bu Yao shouted out the shocking price and then glanced at Ning Yanlan, sensing the abnormality in the man's body.
"Is this guy crazy? Who is he to just casually throw out 5,500 ninth-tier Holy Spirit Stones?" someone exclaimed upon seeing this extravagant bidding method.
"Large families all control several mines to varying degrees, so they must be scions of powerful clans!"
While others were amazed, none of them had the ability to bid on such an expensive item.
Upon hearing the price of 5,500, Jiang Yuan's expression turned serious. He couldn't imagine how wealthy the Holy Spirit Clan was, but judging from Bu Yao's nonchalant manner, they clearly had a considerable amount of Holy Spirit Stones!
Ning Yanlan gritted her teeth and shouted, "Five thousand six hundred yuan!"
"Six thousand yuan!" Bu Yao gave an overwhelmingly favorable offer without any hesitation.
This pricing method left Jiang Yuan and Ning Yanlan speechless; such extravagance and wealth were truly remarkable.
“This item is worth the price!” Bu Yao said calmly, as if the competition from others was irrelevant to her.
"Add one more thing, they need to compete for the Holy Coffin, so they definitely need to have enough Holy Spirit Stones on hand!" Jiang Yuan transmitted his voice.
This is the egg of a sacred beast, and its value far exceeds what Holy Spirit Stones can measure. If you can buy it, you're guaranteed to make a profit!
Ning Yanlan frowned and asked, "Do we have enough Holy Spirit Stones?"
It's no wonder Ning Yanlan had such doubts; they clearly didn't have six thousand ninth-tier Holy Spirit Stones.
"It's alright, I'll figure out a way if we don't have enough Holy Spirit Stones!" Jiang Yuan reassured him.
"Okay!" Ning Yanlan agreed, and then raised the price again: "Six thousand one hundred yuan!"
"Six thousand two hundred yuan!"
This time, it wasn't Bu Yao who was aggressively pushing for a lower price, but Yin Cha, who sat there motionless. Clearly, she had also noticed the extraordinary nature of the beast egg.
"Seven thousand!" Bu Yao offered without hesitation.
The entire auction hall fell silent. Everyone was amazed at who could afford such a high price: seven thousand Holy Spirit Stones. It must have taken the combined strength of an entire city to dare to ask for that!
Jiang Yuan could only give up helplessly, thinking to himself, "Do all these Holy Spirit Clan members own mines?"
"Forget it, it's just an egg!" Ning Yanlan was actually reluctant to spend so many Holy Spirit Stones to bid for an egg; she only bid because Jiang Yuan wanted it.
"Give them to them!" Jiang Yuan adjusted his mindset. Anyway, he had the Heavenly Eye, so he would get all these treasures.
If anyone in the room was dissatisfied with the price, it would only be Liu Zhaodi. After all, this was a treasure of their Fengdu, and she wouldn't be satisfied no matter how high the price was.
"Seven thousand first times!"
"Seven thousand, the second time!"
"Seven thousand for the third time! Sold!"
However, after the high price of 7,000 was announced, no one dared to raise the price again. This number was already terrifyingly high. Even a powerful warlord who controlled the resources of the entire South City might not be willing to pay such a high price for an egg of dubious origin.
The handover was completed quickly. Bu Yao easily took out seven thousand ninth-tier holy spirit stones, and then calmly took out the alien beast egg.
"The happiness of the rich is so simple!" Jiang Yuan looked at Bu Yao putting away the alien beast egg with envy.
"I should have set the starting price higher!" Liu Zhaodi said dejectedly.
"Be content. It's already pretty good that it sold for such a high price in the early stages of the cataclysm!" Jiang Yuan said. Although the value of a sacred beast is immeasurable, sacred spirit stones are also very valuable at this time.
Liu Zhaodi shook her head, casting aside her disappointment, before saying seriously, "Take the last item up for auction!"
It was a huge glass case, and when the coffin appeared on the auction stage, everyone in the hall was dumbfounded.
"A coffin?" Everyone else looked at the auction item as if they had seen a ghost.
The leaders of several organizations huddled together and whispered, "What's going on at this auction house? They're auctioning off a coffin?"
"Yeah, what's so great about auctioning off these coffins? If anyone likes them, I'll give them ten without a problem!"
"Stop gossiping. This coffin must be special to be auctioned off last. I just wonder how high the starting price will be!"
Now they only care about the price of the coffin. The previous beast egg had a starting price of five thousand and even sold for a terrifying seven thousand. This coffin will definitely fetch no less.
"Starting price!"
Liu Zhaodi kept everyone in suspense for a moment, then held up one finger, "Ten thousand ninth-tier Holy Spirit Stones!"
"hiss!"
All that could be heard in the room were various gasps.
"Don't you all find this incredible? Or are you thinking that our auction house is obsessed with money?" Liu Zhaodi smiled as she walked towards the glass case.
"However, I can assure you all that this coffin is far beyond your wildest imagination!"
Liu Zhaodi walked around the glass case, which then opened in a special way, revealing the entire coffin.
"This is the most valuable treasure our auction house has ever acquired!"
“It!” Liu Zhaodi’s face wore an inscrutable smile. “The creatures it buried were those closest to the gods in this world!”
"Gods!"
The auction hall fell silent. Those two words seemed like a mountain, especially in the world transformed by the Golden Gate, where they represented the lifelong pursuit of all living beings.
