Zaun was in a real bind; the initial price had already far exceeded his available funds, but since it concerned Mi Li's safety, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and go for it.
"Two million taels!" Zu'an simply raised the price significantly, hoping to use the pretext of raising the price earlier to make these people hesitate to act rashly.
As expected, the moment the price was announced, the venue fell silent.
"Damn it, this bastard is trying to raise the price again!" Everyone cursed inwardly, continuously contributing a wave of anger.
Even with more anger points added to his account, Zuan couldn't be happy, because he knew that this time it probably wouldn't be so easy to succeed.
Sure enough, a deep voice came from the next private room: "Two million one hundred thousand taels."
Zu An's heart sank. The other VIPs in the private room hadn't interfered in his dispute with Sun Ji, but their presence there clearly demonstrated their strength.
"Two million two hundred thousand taels." Zu An's face was ashen as he continued to raise the price.
At times like this, adding ten thousand at a time doesn't make much sense.

At that moment, Sun Ji's lazy voice came: "Two million three hundred thousand taels!"
Yang Long, who was beside him, was startled: "Young Master, you must not act rashly."
"Fool, do you think I'm doing this out of spite? Don't you think about how much my father and I would gain if I won the bid and presented it to the Prince of Yan?" Sun Ji sneered.
Yang Long was taken aback, thinking that it was indeed true. The Prince of Yan was the emperor's uncle and had been stuck at the Grandmaster level for many years. If he could obtain the Purple Frost Divine Milk, his breakthrough would be just around the corner.
Unexpectedly, the young master, who is usually so dissolute, is as clear-headed as a mirror when it matters.
