Chapter 610 Bidding
On the other side, Luo Li's eyes occasionally swept across the people who were bidding against each other under the bright lights in the hall. Their faces were full of desire and determination to get the Blood Lotus Pill, but in her eyes, they were like fleeting shadows, unable to stir up the slightest ripple.
She took a sip of the warm tea on the table. The elegant fragrance of the tea coincided with her mood at the moment.
The moonlight outside the window is as clear as water, and the silver light is scattered, forming a sharp contrast with the hustle and bustle in the hall, as if they are two completely different worlds.
Soon, the price of a Blood Lotus Pill soared to 100 million Crystal Soul Coins.
But after all, no one knew the effect of the Blood Lotus Pill, so when the price reached 100 million Crystal Soul Coins, there were not many people bidding.
In another private room, Di Xuanming glanced at the blue-robed youth across from him and said calmly, "Floating Jade."
The blue-robed boy called Fu Yu rolled his eyes and asked angrily, "Am I your slave?"
After complaining, he still pressed the jade card honestly, "One hundred and twenty million."
Although Fu Yu looked displeased, the moment his fingertips touched the jade token, an unquestionable force passed through his slender fingers, transformed into a stream of light, instantly crossing the space and hitting the center of the auction hall.
As he completed his action, the entire auction hall seemed to fall silent. Then, a clear voice echoed, "One hundred and twenty million Crystal Soul Coins!"
The auctioneer's face lit up with joy. Although he recognized the owner of the voice, he didn't point it out. He simply said, "This customer has bid 120 million. Are there any other customers who would like to bid?! There are only five Blood Lotus Pills left. Please consider carefully."
It’s only 120 million, far from the psychological price of people from various domains.
I’m afraid everyone in the box today can take out a stack of prices.
It's just that they all recognized the owner of the voice, and many people were willing to give him face.
In other private rooms, many people murmured, "Fu Yu..."
At this moment, a voice as gentle as jade sounded again, "One hundred and forty million."
In the private room at the center of the second floor, amidst the interweaving of light and shadow, a young man in a moon-white robe sat leisurely, his long silver-gray hair hanging down on his shoulders, his eyes as deep as the sea, and a faint yet confident smile on the corner of his mouth.
He gently played with the delicate teacup in his hand and said softly, "Fuyu, you finally decided to come out."
In the center of the auction hall, the auctioneer's voice trembled slightly with excitement. "This guest bids 140 million!"
He was excited and said, this is the highest price of Yaoguang City branch in the past two years!
In Emperor Xuanming's private room, Fu Yu frowned, "Why is this annoying guy here too?"
He directly pressed the jade token and continued to bid without showing any weakness, "One hundred and fifty million!"
After the two of them went back and forth, the price quickly soared to 190 million.
In the private room, Luo Li held her chin in her hand. "One hundred and ninety million? That price is a bit high, isn't it? After all, the Blood Lotus Pill is currently known on the mainland as a special God King Pill whose specific effects are still unclear."
Originally, she had only expected the price to be 120 million per pill, but she didn't expect that the value of a Blood Lotus Pill would soar so much due to the internal fight between the two people.
She narrowed her eyes and smiled gently. She loved watching this scene, and it would be even better if it happened a few more times.
In another private room, someone raised an eyebrow and said, "For a pill whose specific effects are still unknown, this price..."
As expected, the other person bidding against Fu Yu chuckled and said, "My Lord City Lord is very wealthy and generous. I admire you. I will not compete with you for this first Blood Lotus Pill."
In the box, Fu Yu snorted coldly and ignored the sarcastic words.
Below, the auctioneer paid no attention to the thoughts of these important figures. He simply said, "This guest bids 190 million. Is there any higher bid?"
Inside Emperor Xuanming's private room, the flickering candlelight illuminated Fu Yu's tightly pursed lips and the coldness that flashed across her eyes.
Di Xuanming tapped the tabletop lightly, his movements revealing an unquestionable dominance. He said calmly, "How did you provoke him?"
The night outside the window was as dark as ink. Occasionally, a breeze would pass by, carrying a faint noise from afar, but it could not shake the solemn atmosphere in the box at all.
Fu Yu scoffed, "It's just bad fate."
Di Xuanming had no interest in knowing. Upon hearing this, he only showed a thoughtful look and turned his gaze back to the auction table.
The auctioneer laughed and said, "One hundred and ninety million at a time..."
There was no sound in the audience.
The auctioneer continued, "One hundred and ninety million twice..."
Still silent.
Finally, the hammer fell.
The auctioneer shouted, "One hundred and ninety million three times! Deal!"
He looked towards the private room on the second floor with a smile and said, "After all the Blood Lotus Pills are auctioned off, we will deliver your Blood Lotus Pill to the private room. Please wait."
In the box, Fu Yu folded his arms and leaned back, "Is one enough?"
Di Xuanming raised his eyes and said in a cold voice, "Not enough."
Fu Yu suddenly got furious. "Ice Face, don't be so greedy! There are only five in total, are you going to take them all?"
Di Xuanming curled his lips and said calmly, "So what? I have plenty of money."
Inside the box, the candlelight flickered, illuminating Fu Yu's slightly exasperated face. He stared with his eyes wide open, his hands on his hips, like a cat whose tail was stepped on, about to explode.
Di Xuanming leaned leisurely on the soft couch, his slender fingers gently stroking the edge of the teacup, his eyes calm.
"Hmph, just because you're rich is not a big deal!" Fu Yu grumbled dissatisfiedly, but he didn't dare to really get angry. After all, the strength, talent and background of this ice-faced man were there, and he couldn't easily provoke him.
Di Xuanming remained expressionless, "It's quite impressive, at least more impressive than a city lord like you who can't even afford 100 million."
Fu Yu gritted his teeth. He couldn't hit her, and he couldn't scold her. He was really convinced!
Di Xuanming turned a deaf ear to his accusing look, because the auctioneer, after a short break, had already started auctioning the second Blood Lotus Pill.
In the auction hall, the lights suddenly converged on the central booth, and a warm red light quietly bloomed in the darkness. It was the second Blood Lotus Pill, lying quietly in a specially made jade box.
The guests around who were originally talking in low voices suddenly held their breath, their eyes burning with greed.
The second one!
The auctioneer's voice, filled with excitement, pierced every corner of the venue. He spoke concisely, "Ladies and Gentlemen, next on the table is the equally precious second Blood Lotus Pill. Its efficacy is self-evident. Starting price: 10 million Crystal Soul Coins!"
As soon as the words fell, the entire auction hall was instantly boiling, with bidding sounds rising one after another, surging like waves.
Fu Yu sat on the soft couch, his face changing from gloomy to bright, with mixed feelings in his heart.
He is so poor!
As the lord of a city, how could he be so poor?!
Is it because he didn’t work hard enough?! But he worked very hard!
