At this time, everyone exclaimed in surprise and talked a lot.
"What is this?" Lu Jingzhi looked at the glass cover and saw a pill with green light all over it.
"Everyone, this is a sixth-grade Xuanhuang Qi Pill, which can help Xuanwang powerhouses increase their chances of advancing to Xuanhuang." She spoke passionately, glancing at everyone and realizing their emotions were already stirring. The corners of her mouth curved upwards, "Starting price: 20,000 high-grade spirit stones."
As soon as these words were spoken, the whole audience was in an uproar. The expensive ten thousand high-grade spirit stones were completely out of the reach of those below them. Everyone turned their eyes to the three private rooms.
The first private room was occupied by Shangguan and his daughter, while the second private room was occupied by a bearded man with a Chinese face. His big, piercing eyes, rugged appearance and figure made it look like he was not someone to be trifled with.
On the other side... was a woman, she was 1.4 meters tall, with long hair falling to her thighs, a harmless baby face, big innocent eyes, and a pure white long dress that made her adorable.
If she wasn't sitting in a private room, who would be able to see her strength and identity as the president of the Alchemy Association?
She stretched out a small, scallion-white hand and said timidly, "Twenty...twenty thousand high-grade spirit stones."
The head of the Shangguan family snorted coldly, "Hmph, twenty-five thousand."
"Okay... The VIP room number one is 25,000. Is there anyone who wants to raise the price?" the host asked loudly.
There was complete silence for a moment. This price was far higher than what the Xuanhuang Qi Pill should have.
"Thirty...thirty thousand." The girl pouted, as if she felt aggrieved that he had raised the price so much.
"She's so pitiful. I really want to hug her."
"Yeah, this Shangguan Patriarch is such a jerk. Why did he raise the price so high?"
"I wonder if Patriarch Shangguan will raise the price again?"
The host looked at the head of the Shangguan family in Room 1. His expression turned grim. "Thirty-two thousand."
For a moment, sighs and cheers were heard in the auction house. These 32,000 high-grade spirit stones could buy two Xuanhuang Qi Pills.
"Since uncle wants it, I'll give it to you."
When the head of the Shangguan family saw that she had stopped bidding, he was still unhappy and his face turned ashen. He felt that he had been wronged again.
The host knocked the hammer three times, "Okay, let's congratulate VIP number one for winning the Xuanhuang Qi Pill."
When the second item was a fourth-level long sword, the people in the private room stopped bidding, and it was the turn of the people below to bid.
"Master...Master, this...No, this little girl looks like she could be kidnapped by a bad guy with just a lollipop."
"Lollipop?" Yan An's eyes looked unnatural, and then he coughed twice. "Don't judge things by appearances. The more harmless it seems, the more poisonous it is."
"Is the master poisonous?"
Seeing that he looked like he deserved a beating, Yan An pinched his thigh hard.
“Ouch!”
For a moment, everyone looked at him...
Lu Jingzhi quickly covered his mouth, lowered his head, and dug his toes into the ground in embarrassment.
Seeing him like this, Yan An couldn't help but cover his mouth and laugh.
"Well, you deserve it."
The host looked at the master and disciple, then came to his senses, "Ahem, fifteen thousand mid-grade spirit stones, is there anything higher?"
"Sixteen thousand."
"Sixteen thousand and one"
…
As time passed, Lu Jingzhi leaned back in his chair and yawned, feeling drowsy. All the goods here were worth far more than four thousand medium-grade spirit stones, which meant that he had no strength to bid.
"Next is a low-grade Xuan-level martial arts manual called 'Spearmanship'. It's just a fragment. The starting price is one thousand mid-grade spirit stones."
For a moment, the auction hall was silent, and not many people were interested in this martial arts technique. One reason was that not many people used guns, and the second, and most important, point was that the scroll was incomplete.
Lu Jingzhi perked up instantly. Seeing that no one raised the price, he took out the number eight sign on the table and said, "Two thousand medium-grade spirit stones."
"This gentleman number eight has chosen the lowest price. Are there any left?"
“…”
The host had no hope for this incomplete scroll of martial arts, so when no one bid, he picked up the auction hammer and knocked it down.
Bang.
"Two thousand medium-grade spirit stones once."
Bang.
"Two thousand medium-grade spirit stones, twice."
Just as he was about to knock for the third time, a voice came from Room No. 1.
"Wait a minute, three thousand medium-grade spirit stones."
Lu Jingzhi's heart, which had been hanging in the air, finally died.
He looked up and saw that the eldest son of the Shangguan family had come to the private room at some point and was looking at Lu Jingzhi with a provocative look.
Lu Jingzhi narrowed his deep eyes slightly, took out the sign and raised the price by four thousand.
Immediately afterwards, he also raised the price by one thousand, raising the price of the remaining scroll to five thousand.
Everyone was talking about it, laughing at the two of them for being such idiots that they raised the price of a fragment of a martial arts manual to a level that was no less than theirs.
Lu Jingzhi frowned, obviously being targeted by him.
"Stop shouting. You can't compete with him in terms of money. Find another chance to grab the treasure after this." Yan An, who was sitting next to him, said lightly.
Helpless, Lu Jingzhi had to continue leaning back in his chair, with no intention of raising the price.
A fragmentary copy of the spear technique was bought by the eldest son of the Shangguan family at a high price of five thousand medium-grade spirit stones.
In private room number one, the head of the Shangguan family looked at the man beside him and said, "Yan'er, you don't practice spearmanship, and this is a fragment of a martial arts manual. What did you buy it for?"
Shangguan Yan crossed his legs and looked towards Lu Jingzhi's position. "Humph, I just don't like him."
Seeing that he was acting impulsively, the Shangguan family glared at him fiercely and said, "Nonsense."
Hearing this, he curled his lips and said, "I've heard about how my father and the president of the Alchemy Association bought the Xuanhuang Qi Pill for 22,000 yuan."
