"But this is actually a good thing."
A slightly relieved smile appeared on the old man's face.
......
The auction is still ongoing.
The price quickly soared to 200,000 low-grade spirit stones.
"Father, we can make our move now."
"We must get this Spirit Essence Pill!"
Chen Feng looked at the old man in front of him respectfully, his face showing excitement.
You should know that he sold half of his clan's assets and added all his savings to save up a full 300,000 low-grade spirit stones!
He refused to believe that any other force possessed such courage.
"My Mad Lion Mercenary Group offers 230,000 low-grade spirit stones!"
A rough voice rang out, and a burly man with sharp eyes spoke.
"It's Lord Mad Lion."
"He couldn't hold back any longer!"
"I heard that Lord Mad Lion is only one step away from the Spirit Origin Realm!"
"If Lord Mad Lion were to enter the Spirit Origin Realm, I'm afraid my Qingyan City would become one of the four great families!"
Everyone recognized the person.
As the largest mercenary group in Qingyan City, few people are unfamiliar with them.
"My Chen family offers 240,000 low-grade spirit stones!"
Chen Feng spoke decisively.
He knew that this price was already at its limit, and very few people were willing to follow suit nowadays.
As Chen Feng expected, the auction fell into a brief silence after he made his bid.
Two hundred and fifty thousand low-grade spirit stones
Just as Chen Feng thought there were no surprises and was overjoyed, Liu Dadao slowly spoke up.
As the largest family in Qingyan City, he did not want the other two families to win the bid for this Spirit Essence Pill, but he also did not want the other families in Qingyan City to win it so easily.
Only by severely weakening the newly formed family can things be handled more effectively.
"Two hundred and fifty-one thousand!"
When the leader of the Mad Lion Mercenary Group said this, his lips trembled slightly. It was hard to imagine that a mercenary group could come up with such a sum of spirit stones.
After all, mercenary groups rarely hoard spirit stones; they are all people who walk the line between life and death. If they encounter an accident one day, the spirit stones will just be given away to others.
At this moment, the leader of the Mad Lion Mercenary Group felt a pang of regret. Why had he been so preoccupied with indulging in pleasure in his younger years that he hadn't saved up a little more spirit stones?
They could only plead that no one would continue bidding against them.
"Two hundred and eighty thousand!"
"Gentlemen, this is the limit for the Chen family. If any of you have a higher price, the Chen family is willing to withdraw!"
Chen Feng, the current head of the Chen family, shouted with slightly red eyes, seemingly making a desperate gamble.
After Chen Feng spoke, no one else made a bid.
Even Liu Dadao stopped causing trouble. After all, for the Liu family, a newly promoted Spirit Origin Realm cultivator was of little use. The main purpose was to make others suffer heavy losses so that they wouldn't have the energy to oppose the Liu family.
The other families either came from other places and didn't bring enough spirit stones, or they were content as long as the Liu family didn't get it; they didn't care who got the Spirit Essence Pill.
Or perhaps they have ulterior motives!
"The Chen family is nothing more than a Qi Condensation Realm old ghost at its strongest."
Some people looked at the Chen family with eyes as hungry as tigers, radiating a predatory glint.
"Two hundred and eighty thousand low-grade spirit stones. If no one else bids, then this Spirit Essence Pill will belong to the Chen family!"
"280,000 per time"
"Two hundred and eighty thousand twice!"
"Two hundred and eighty thousand three times!"
"Congratulations to the Chen family on successfully acquiring the Spirit Essence Pill!"
With Sophie's melodious cry, the final auction came to an end.
"Feng'er, take the remaining 20,000 low-grade spirit stones and give them to the owner of Qingyan Auction House."
The old man from the Chen family's direction whispered instructions to Chen Feng.
As a shrewd old fox, he naturally understood the psychology of that group of people, which is why he asked Chen Feng to ask for 280,000.
The remaining 20,000 spirit stones...
......
Yang An looked at the 20,000 low-grade spirit stones delivered to him and chuckled softly.
"That old fox"
However, Yang An tacitly approved of his idea.
This is his first time opening a business. If such a big customer is stopped as soon as he leaves, it would be a huge loss to the reputation of the auction house!
It also allows others to see that the products sold in their auction house are of guaranteed quality!
After all, seeing is believing, and hearing is deceiving; people will only believe what they see with their own eyes!
Only in this way can we make these powerful forces obediently hand over their money in the upcoming auction!
Yang An didn't believe that a family like the Liu family could only afford a few hundred thousand spirit stones.
Having been rooted in Qingyan City for hundreds of years, Yang An would need at least a hundred thousand or two hundred thousand spirit stones in savings for him to believe it.
What he had to do was to find ways to squeeze all the wealth out of these forces!
"No, this is a matter of mutual consent."
I didn't force anyone; it was all voluntary on their part!
Those forces might actually have to thank him!
Yang An sighed inwardly.
......
"Miss Sophie, when is the next auction held by Qingyan Auction House?"
Just as everyone was about to leave, someone spoke up loudly.
"The next Qingyan Auction will be held in ten days!"
"I'm sure the items won't disappoint you!"
"Just so you know, this is an item powerful enough to shake up the very foundation of a faction!"
Sophie swayed her alluring body slightly, her slender hand lightly covering her red lips, and said seductively.
"Haha, I didn't prepare enough spirit stones for this auction, but I'll definitely prepare enough next time!"
"Absolutely, absolutely! Since Miss Sophie has said so, the items next time will certainly be just as good!"
"No matter what, even if it's just to see Miss Sophie, I, Zhang Mengmeng, will come to support her!"
Unlike the noisy crowd, a glint of shrewdness flashed in the eyes of the representatives sent by some powerful forces.
They're not brainless idiots; even if they were, they'd weigh the pros and cons.
What else, besides cultivation techniques, can change the foundation of a power?
In an instant, a raging fire ignited in the hearts of many forces, and greed appeared in their eyes!
"Even if it means emptying the clan's coffers, we must participate in the auction!"
This was the only thought in everyone's mind!
At their level, having one or two Spirit Origin Realm cultivators is only enough to maintain the status quo; advancing further is absolutely impossible.
Unless there are ten or eight more Spirit Origin Realm cultivators.
Watching the anxious crowd leave, Sophie's eyes held a hint of surprise.
Today's events felt like a dream to her.
A whopping 750,000 low-grade spirit stones were auctioned off!
What an enormous sum of money!
In previous years, an auction that could generate 100,000 low-grade spirit stones was considered a large-scale auction.
This price should be enough to ensure that he and Andy are safe from any danger, and they might even receive his protection!
