Chapter 940 Investigation
Shen Fuzhou leaned back in his chair, closed his eyes and rubbed his solar plexus, the restlessness and depression in his heart lingered for a long time.
Yun Chuan, the chief of Wanjian Mountain, sighed and said, looking at his young master's dying state:
"I'm telling you, Young Master, even if you've been completely rejected by the eldest daughter of the Mu family, there's no need to vent your anger on our Wanjian Mountain Crystal Soul Coins. Don't forget that we're here on a mission."
Being exposed, Shen Fuzhou exploded and his face flushed. "Who, who said that I acted like this because she rejected me? I just like that armor, isn't that okay?!"
Yunchuan shrugged, "Then if you say it's not true, then it's not true, young master."
In the private room of Jiuding Academy, a young disciple was a little annoyed: "Master, it's such a shame to let the Di family get it like this."
The old man stroked his beard and smiled, "Don't worry. This armor is great, but our goal isn't just this one. There are more important items to be auctioned later. Save your energy for the upcoming competition."
The disciple sat back in his seat, looking thoughtful, his eyes fixed on the stage, waiting for the next item to appear.
Luo Li remained calm. She turned to Barrett and said, "Go check the recent movements of the Di family for me. There must be a reason why they bought this armor at such a high price."
Barrett nodded and quietly left the box.
Luo Li looked towards the You Clan box again. There was still no movement there, like a dormant volcano, and no one knew when it would erupt.
At this time, the receptionist brought an exquisite jade box onto the auction table.
Song Wanbai gently opened the box, and a soft light emanated from it, almost illuminating the entire auction table.
"Dear guests, the next item is the Great Lord Pill, coveted by countless powerful individuals! This pill was refined by a top alchemist in my Buli City. After taking it, it will not only steadily increase the level of a certain law power, but also greatly increase the chance of breaking through bottlenecks and ascending to a higher realm.
Starting price: 100 million Crystal Soul Coins!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the whole audience was boiling again.
The tense atmosphere that had been briefly relieved by the auction of the Tiangang Armor was instantly ignited again, and the burning desire in the eyes of all parties was rekindled. A new round of fierce competition began again.
In the private room of Jiuding Academy, the young disciple was still immersed in the emotion of the armor being bought by the Di family. After hearing the introduction of the great overlord Dan, his eyes lit up instantly and he said to the old man excitedly:
"Master, we can't miss this time!"
The old man nodded slightly, his expression solemn. He stared at the jade box on the stage and said in a deep voice, "Don't be impulsive. The competition for the Grand Lord Pill is bound to be extremely fierce. Let's see how the situation develops."
At the same time, in another private room at the auction house, a black-robed man exuding a cold aura curled his lips into a sneer and whispered to his attendant:
"Interesting! I didn't expect that this auction in this city would actually have such a valuable treasure. It seems that today's trip was worthwhile. Get the Crystal Soul Coins ready. No matter what, I must get this Great Lord Pill."
The follower nodded quickly and began to nervously count the Crystal Soul Coin reserves.
Amidst the noisy crowd, an inconspicuous figure quietly stood up. He was wearing a bamboo hat, so his face couldn't be seen. He slowly raised his hand and said in a low but firm voice, "One hundred and fifty million Crystal Soul Coins!"
This action instantly attracted everyone's attention, and many people were surprised. They did not expect that people on the first floor would raise the price so much at the beginning of the auction.
In the private room of Jiuding Academy, the young disciple was extremely anxious when he saw this. He was about to bid again, but was stopped by the old man.
The old man's eyes were like torches as he scanned the crowd. "Don't worry."
Luo Li looked at all this, her expression still calm and composed. She frowned slightly and thought to herself: The appearance of Grand Lord Dan will probably intensify the conflicts between various forces.
The Di family has just won the bid for the Tiangang Armor. What role will they play in the competition for the Great Lord Pill?
Thinking of this, she hooked her finger and stuffed a pill into the little fur ball's mouth, "Go and see who is in the other boxes and what they are talking about."
The little fur ball swallowed it obediently, and her soul power increased instantly. She shook her round body vigorously, and in an instant, dozens of little fur balls quickly crawled out of the box and went to the various boxes on the second floor.
Luo Li patted the little ball of fur on the head, with a smile on her lips and her legs crossed.
The You Clan's box was still eerily quiet, but in the darkness, a few pairs of deep eyes were faintly flashing with light, closely watching everything on the stage, as if waiting for the best opportunity to bring unexpected changes to the auction.
Auctioneer Song Wanbai's face was filled with excitement as he shouted, "One hundred and fifty million Crystal Soul Coins at a time. Is there a higher bid? This is the Great Lord Pill. If you miss this opportunity, you don't know when you'll see it again!"
As soon as the words fell, the entire auction hall fell into a brief silence, and then the sound of bidding immediately rang out one after another.
"Two hundred million crystal soul coins!" A loud voice came from a box on the second floor. The person who spoke was Long Yan, the elder of the Shenlong clan.
His face flushed red, his eyes flashed with fanaticism. He was determined to do whatever it took to get the Great Lord Pill that would allow him to reach a higher level.
He didn't expect that when the Dragon Lord asked him to carry out the mission of the Ninth Heaven, he would encounter this unexpected surprise.
He must get this pill!
"Three hundred million!" The man in black robe raised the price without hesitation. The cold aura seemed to become stronger with excitement. His followers were so nervous that they dared not breathe. They kept calculating the number of crystal soul coins, fearing that the funds were not enough.
Chi Ying had been stuck in a bottleneck on the road of cultivation for many years. This Great Lord Pill was the key to breaking the shackles for him, and he would not give up no matter what the cost.
Everyone in the audience gasped. The price increase was truly astonishing. Every bid seemed like burning a huge fortune.
Many of the weaker forces have shown signs of difficulty. Although they covet the Grand Lord Pill, they are well aware that they are unable to compete with these wealthy first-class forces and can only watch helplessly.
The young disciple from Jiuding Academy clenched his fists, his knuckles turning white from exertion. His body trembled slightly as he looked at the old man anxiously and said, "Master, they're raising the price too quickly. If we don't bid now, it will be too late!"
The old man's expression became increasingly solemn, his eyes moving back and forth between the boxes, trying to judge the bidders' bottom line from their expressions and tones.
He spoke slowly, "Don't worry, it's not time yet. Our academy's reserves of Crystal Soul Coins are limited, so we must strike with one strike."
The young disciple also knew that compared to other first-rate forces, their Jiuding Academy was extremely poor.
While everyone was bidding fiercely, the little ball's clone had already quietly sneaked into each box.
