Someone also murmured quietly: "The broken sword might affect my comprehension of the law. Will it lead to obsession?"
"Yes, this is a broken sword. What if something goes wrong?"
The bidding for this broken sword was quite quiet, and the auctioneer couldn't help but feel anxious. But before he could heat up the atmosphere, he heard Li Xiuchen raise his paddle and say, "Nine hundred thousand!"
The price was suddenly raised to 200,000!
Many people were shocked by him and dared not bid any more. Seeing this, Luo Jianqing smiled lightly and was about to speak, but suddenly heard: "One million!"
A voice came from the box next to Luo Jianqing.
Li Xiuchen was stunned for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "One million and one hundred thousand!"
This price far exceeded Li Xiuchen's savings, but he decided to sell some of his belongings. Although he didn't get the other half of the broken sword, he was convinced that it couldn't have been easily destroyed and must have fallen somewhere else in Wanshou Ridge. As long as he took a picture of the broken sword, he could use the intuition between the broken swords to find the other half!
Another crisp laugh came from the box, and the man said, "One million and two hundred thousand."
Li Xiuchen said, "One hundred... one million and two hundred and fifty thousand."
Compared to his trembling voice, the host of the box smiled and said, "Then one million and a half will be enough."
The whole audience was boiling!
A broken sword was sold at a high price of 1.5 million?
Now, Li Xiuchen no longer had the ability to bid. He gritted his teeth and glared at the two private rooms on the second floor. One was Luo Jianqing and Fozi's room, because Luo Jianqing had previously snatched up almost everything Li Xiuchen wanted to auction. The other was the room next to theirs, whose owner had ended Li Xiuchen's hopes of bidding for the broken sword.
The auctioneer was also very happy. He said excitedly: "One million and a half thousand once, one million and a half thousand twice, one hundred..."
Luo Jianqing said loudly: "Two million."
The place suddenly became quiet, and even the sound of a pin drop could be heard.
The next moment, an angry voice came from the next box: "Two and a half million!"
Luo Jianqing said calmly: "Three million."
The other party said: "Four million!"
Luo Jianqing smiled lightly: "Five million."
Suddenly, a clanging sound came from the next room, as if something had been overturned. The man gritted his teeth and said, "Six million!" As soon as the words fell, he threatened viciously, "Who the hell are you? How dare you steal from me? Are you tired of living?"
Upon hearing this, Luo Jianqing was suddenly stunned and turned to look at the Buddhist disciple beside him.
The Buddhist disciple looked at Luo Jianqing in surprise, and the two smiled at each other.
This time, Luo Jianqing bid again: "Eight million."
Yunxiang next door: "You!" After struggling for a moment, Yunxiang shouted: "Ten million!"
The Buddhist disciple whispered, "Amitabha, Fellow Daoist Luo, why do you bully women?"
Luo Jianqing said innocently: "Buddhist son, I can't ask for too high a price. I only have more than 9 million spirit stones left on me." There was one thing Luo Jianqing didn't say. Half of these more than 9 million spirit stones were taken from Xuan Lingzi.
After the two exchanged their feelings, Xuan Lingzi gave Luo Jianqing his storage ring since he was leaving. Taking someone's entire fortune felt a bit strange, so Luo Jianqing took five million spirit stones. Even so, Xuan Lingzi was still a little dissatisfied, worried that his apprentice would be left without protection.
Hearing this, the Buddhist disciple asked, "Fellow Daoist Luo, are you unable to bid any more?"
Luo Jianqing nodded slightly.
The Buddhist disciple smiled and said, "I have three million spirit stones here, which I can lend to Daoist Fellow Luo."
Luo Jianqing opened his eyes wide in surprise, only to see the Buddhist disciple said calmly and innocently, "That donor scolded me for three hours, so that's exactly three million spirit stones."
Luo Jianqing laughed heartily.
At this moment, Luo Jianqing immediately said: "Twelve million!"
Yunxiang froze in shock, her fingers trembling as she angrily shouted, "Who the hell are you, and why are you targeting me?! This broken sword is only worth two million at most."
Luo Jianqing chuckled softly and said, "My fellow Daoist, at the auction, whoever wins the bid will own it. I'm willing to spend 100 million spirit stones to buy this broken sword. I'm so rich I don't know where to spend it, so I'm happy to do it."
Yunxiang: “…”
At this point, the Liuyun Chamber of Commerce’s once-a-decade auction officially ended.
Some people returned with a full load, getting many of the things they wanted; some people did not spend a penny, but witnessed an unconventional wealth-showing competition, and had something to brag about for the next ten years.
During this period, Li Xiuchen did not spend a single spirit stone, but he was not happy. Instead, he was so angry that he almost fainted.
Yunxiang only bid for one item throughout the entire auction, but failed to win it, and was so angry that she was fuming.
The Buddhist disciple smiled slightly and received a Buddhist relic; Luo Jianqing owed three million spirit stones, but also returned with a rich harvest.
After leaving the auction house together, the two planned to leave Yunzhou. Fuzi and Luo Jianqing were still traveling together for a while, so he invited Luo Jianqing to visit Guiyuan Sect, but Luo Jianqing declined politely: "I've been away from Taihua Mountain for several days, and I miss it so much right now."
The Buddhist disciple laughed and said, "Fellow Daoist Luo actually misses home."
Luo Jianqing chuckled: "Home exists only when there are people. Sometimes, what you miss is not home, but the people in it."
The Buddhist disciple nodded: "Fellow Daoist Luo is very loyal and righteous. He bought a lot of things for his fellow junior brothers and sisters at an auction."
Obviously, the Buddhist disciple thought Luo Jianqing was worried about his fellow apprentices, which was why he was so anxious to return. Luo Jianqing didn't deny this. He did care about his fellow apprentices, but he cared about that person even more. He just didn't know if that person cared about him as much as he did.
