Chapter 939 Auction in Progress
As soon as Song Wanbai finished speaking, the starting prices on the field began to rise and fall.
"Sixty million!" A deep voice came from the box on the left side of the second floor.
"Seventy million!" Immediately afterwards, someone in the box on the right also raised the price.
Luo Li opened her eyes slightly, her gaze swept across the box on the second floor, and a faint smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.
She knew that the real competition in this auction had just begun.
All those previous ones were just minor incidents.
In the auction hall, bidding sounds rang out one after another, and the price was quickly pushed up to 200 million Crystal Soul Coins.
At this moment, a cold voice came from the private room in the middle of the second floor, "Two hundred and fifty million."
The whole audience was in an uproar. This price was far beyond most people's expectations.
Luo Li's gaze narrowed slightly. The person in that box was from Jiuding Academy.
Song Wanbai smiled slightly, "Two hundred and fifty million, is there a higher bid?"
"Three hundred million." Another bid was heard from the box on the second floor.
Luo Li looked indifferent, and the sky was filled with mist.
The whole audience was in an uproar again, and everyone's attention was focused on the second floor.
The people from Jiuding Academy obviously didn't expect someone to suddenly raise the price. After a moment's silence, they continued, "Three hundred and fifty million."
There was a brief pause from Yunmiao Palace, as if they were weighing the pros and cons, before a voice came out slowly: "Four hundred million."
This price increase made everyone in the venue gasp, and the already heated atmosphere was pushed to a new climax.
Everyone was whispering to each other, speculating on what astonishing figure this sky-high auction would end up with.
Just when everyone thought that Jiuding Academy would continue to raise the price, Shen Fuzhou’s slightly arrogant voice came from the box where Wan Jianshan was: “Five hundred million!”
The whole audience fell silent instantly, and everyone was speechless at the shock of this number.
Five hundred million crystal soul coins, this is almost all the savings of a small or medium-sized force in the past two or three years.
Xiao Liu's face was filled with shock, his mouth hanging open. "This... this is too much. It's just a piece of armor, and it was sold for such a high price."
Luo Li looked calm and shook her head gently. "For those top forces, the value of this Tiangang Battle Armor far exceeds 500 million. It can greatly enhance the strength of the strong and gain an advantage in future battles. This is a significance that cannot be measured with Crystal Soul Coins."
Song Wanbai was also a little surprised, and the smile on his face froze slightly, but he quickly regained his professional look and asked loudly, "Five hundred million at a time, is there any higher bid?"
The atmosphere in the Jiuding Academy's box was solemn at the moment, with several people sitting around discussing in low voices.
The old man in the lead frowned, "The sudden intervention of Wanjian Mountain shows that they are determined to obtain this armor."
"Are we just going to give up like this?" a young disciple nearby asked unwillingly.
The old man was silent for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "Let's wait and see. Don't be anxious yet."
Discussions were also underway at Yunmiao Tiangong. An elder expressed concern, "This price has already exceeded our budget for a Grand Lord artifact. If we continue to raise the price, I'm afraid it will affect the academy's subsequent auctions of other treasures."
The elder sitting in the main seat pondered for a long time and said slowly, "Forget it, this price is indeed too high. Let's withdraw for now."
Seeing that no one had bid yet, Song Wanbai shouted again, "Five hundred million twice."
Just as he was about to shout for the third time, a steady voice rang out from the silent Di family box: "Six hundred million."
The word "six hundred million" was like a huge rock thrown into a calm lake, causing a huge wave in the auction house.
Everyone on the first floor turned to look at the box that made the bid, their eyes filled with shock and curiosity, wanting to get a glimpse of the power behind this wealthy and powerful person.
In the Wanjianshan box, Shen Fuzhou’s expression changed instantly after hearing the offer, and the folding fan in his hand suddenly closed, making a crisp sound.
Seeing this, the disciple beside him said expressionlessly: "Young Master, should we raise the price? If we raise the price any further, I'm afraid we'll bleed a lot of money."
Shen Fuzhou's eyes flickered. After weighing the pros and cons again and again, he took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Add! 700 million!"
The price rose again, which amazed the audience. Many people have begun to speculate what the final sky-high price of this auction will be.
In the private room of Jiuding Academy, a young disciple couldn't contain his excitement. He stood up and said, "Master, the price has been skyrocketing. If it continues like this, we won't be able to afford it! But this armor is so tempting. Are we really going to give it away?"
The leading elder stared at the Tiangang Battle Armor on the stage with a deep gaze. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Since the Di Family and Wanjian Mountain are competing so fiercely, we might as well wait and see for a while. If the price is still within a manageable range, it won't be too late for us to make a move."
A hint of surprise flashed in Song Wanbai's eyes. He had never expected that this auction would be so exciting.
Clearing his throat, he said loudly, "Seven hundred million per time! This supremely high-grade, great lord-level treasure is the dream of countless powerful individuals. Is there a higher bid?"
After a brief silence, a voice came from the Di family's box: "Eight hundred million."
The voice was neither hurried nor slow, but it revealed full confidence.
When everyone in Yunmiao Palace heard the price, they all shook their heads and were glad that they withdrew in time.
An elder lamented, "Although the Grand Lord Armor is rare, it's only a defensive armor with a special attribute. It's still not as good as an offensive spiritual weapon. The price is quite high."
Luo Li was in the box, her expression remained calm. She watched the fierce competition and thought to herself: It seems that the Di family is indeed only here for the Grand Lord's Weapon and the Grand Lord's Pill, while the forces such as the You Clan who have remained silent need to be observed further.
When Shen Fuzhou heard the Di family's offer of 800 million, the veins on his forehead bulged slightly, and his face turned pale and blue.
He clenched his fists so tightly that the knuckles on the back of his hands turned white from the force.
I’m really impressed!
I can't even spend money to have some fun!
The chief disciple of Wanjian Mountain beside him coughed lightly and reminded him, "Young Master, the Crystal Soul Coins we brought this time are limited. This has already exceeded the limit we expected for a Grand Lord's weapon. If we add more, I'm afraid it will affect the auction plan given by the Mountain Master."
Shen Fuzhou took a deep breath and waved his hand, “Forget it, give it to them.”
Seeing that no one had raised the price for a long time, Song Wanbai shouted loudly: "Eight hundred million once! Eight hundred million twice! Eight hundred million three times!"
As the auction hammer in his hand fell heavily, "Deal! Congratulations to this customer for winning this top-grade Grand Lord-level treasure, the 'Tiangang Battle Armor'!"
The whole audience burst into warm applause. Although most people were unable to participate in this top-level auction, witnessing this fierce confrontation was still an eye-opener for them.
A few chuckles were heard in the Di family's box, and it was obvious that they were very satisfied with the auction result.
However, the atmosphere in the Wanjianshan box was somewhat depressing.
