The third prince smiled upon seeing this, with a cold glint in his eyes.
They all came here to compete for the throne, so they must be enemies.
The royal family is ruthless, and even their Nine Star Empire cannot avoid it.
It is not impossible that in the future, there will be a fight for interests and resources between the two sides.
But the empress was watching the whole time, so the fights between them did not result in any loss of life, but were just some conspiracies and intrigues between each other.
However, it is extremely difficult to frame someone by means of conspiracy or trickery.
Everyone else glanced at Li Qingyue, but they didn't take it to heart. Among the seven people sitting there, Li Qingyue had the worst foundation and had no one to rely on in the court.
Coming here to participate in the auction of the three major counties is probably just to join in the fun.
Before coming, they had already made sufficient preparations. Although His Majesty did not say what the starting price was, it was estimated that it would not be less than 2 billion top-level immortal crystals, and the final actual price was estimated to be around 5 billion top-level immortal crystals.
This is just one county. If you want to take over the three counties in the final auction, it is estimated that it will cost at least 15 billion top-level fairy crystals.
This is an extremely huge number. Almost no one who came to participate thought about taking over all three counties, because it is indeed not very likely.
Fifteen billion top-grade immortal crystals!
This number is really scary.
The princes have just begun to show their prowess, and many forces are watching. They have not yet completely returned to normal, so their confidence is not that strong.
It is indeed too difficult to come up with 15 billion top-level immortal crystals at one time.
In the entire Nine Star Empire, there are only a handful of people who can come up with so many top-level fairy crystals on their own. Even if they can, it will definitely be a serious injury.
Everyone who came to the auction had already figured it out: this time all they needed to do was take control of one county.
In the Nine Star Empire, a county can also bring extremely generous rewards. According to His Majesty, as long as they take over the jurisdiction of the county this time, this place will basically belong to them in the future.
However, a certain amount of immortal crystals needs to be paid to the national treasury every year, and the royal family will send people to supervise.
Of course, this definitely has a time limit. Ten million years is the duration of this jurisdiction.
Ten billion years is not a long time, but it is not short either. At least they can use this time to bring huge benefits.
The main reason is that they don't want each other to get it. This thing is something they can live without, but the enemy absolutely cannot have it. If the opponent competing for the throne gets it, their difficulty will be greatly increased.
Even if you can't get it, you must make the other party pay more value as much as possible.
That's what they think.
Li Qingyue nervously asked Su Chen, "By the way, are you confident?"
Su Chen smiled slightly, without any emotional fluctuation.
To be honest, no one can beat him in the field of immortal crystals. There is no such person in the entire universe.
It's that simple.
Su Chen asked curiously, "How many immortal crystals are there in the auction of these three counties?"
Li Qingyue had done some thorough research before coming here. He said seriously, "According to my estimate, each county will need to spend at least four billion top-level immortal crystals."
"As for the ceiling, I'm not sure. If competition is fierce, it might be auctioned off for 6 billion, but my aunt said 6 billion is a bit high. 5 billion is a very suitable price."
"Um... do you have 5 billion top-level immortal crystals?"
Su Chen chuckled, then asked curiously, "Did your aunt say if I can afford it?"
Li Qingyue pondered for a moment, then shook her head: "She didn't tell me directly, but she just wanted me to believe you."
Although she trusted Li Ruoxin's judgment, she couldn't help feeling insecure at this tense moment.
If she fails to capture these three counties, her already slim chance will become even slimmer.
Of course, she had never thought of taking over three counties; just one would be enough.
Her current foundation is very poor, and she has no hope of competing for the throne. If she had the jurisdiction of a county, she would be much more confident. At least she could attract the attention of a group of people, and as long as she performed well, she could get their support.
This is a hole. If you can't pry it open, there will be no chance later.
Su Chen smiled faintly: "Just wait and see."
At this time, a young man came up from a distance. He came to Li Qingyue's side and said calmly:
"Seventh sister, this fight for the throne may cost you your life. Just take a look today, and don't get involved in anything related to the throne again."
Li Qingyue turned her head and snorted coldly, "If Fourth Brother can fight for it, why can't I?"
"you......."
The Fourth Prince was immediately furious, with a look of helplessness and worry in his eyes. Li Qingyue was the one who was closest to him among his many relatives, so he naturally didn't want Li Qingyue to get involved.
The royal family is ruthless, but many times this ruthlessness is not innate.
But living in such an environment forces them to be a little ruthless.
Imperial power is different from sects. Imperial power means supremacy, unlimited resources and status.
Although the leader of a sect is the most powerful, he is usually only the strongest. They enjoy what a strong person should have, but the imperial power does not consider strength.
