"I'm sure you're all very curious about the starting bid for this item."
The auctioneer maintained a professional smile and, without keeping them in suspense, announced directly:
"At the consignor's request, the starting price for this item is 150,000, and each bid must be at least 5,000. Bidding will now begin."
"Wow!"
Several guests couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
This is a huge pit, and they're selling it for such a high price? Are they crazy?
Is the aura of Yin and evil something that ordinary people can withstand?
Chen Yi was also secretly calculating that if that were the case, the probability of him obtaining this item should be quite high.
Sure enough, only a few people were bidding.
Those cultivators who dare to bid on this foundation-building material are probably taking a gamble, or perhaps they really have some way to eliminate the side effects.
Therefore, even with only a few people bidding, the price of this extremely ominous land continues to rise.
Chen Yi remained silent.
To be honest, the starting bid for this item was all of his savings.
Yes, he only had a little over 150,000 yuan in savings, and this extremely ominous place had already exceeded his ability to bear it from the very beginning.
However, besides his savings, he also had a lot of valuables on him, and if those were included, the situation would be different.
"500,000."
The asking price had now reached 500,000.
If we disregard the enormous hidden dangers of the extremely dangerous soil, and consider only the top-tier foundation materials, 500,000 is far from the upper limit.
It would cost at least 800,000, or even over a million, to justify the price of top-tier foundation materials.
Unfortunately, it has too many limitations, and ordinary people dare not take this risk.
Chen Yi estimated that if he were to put his ball of red phosphorescent fire up for auction, it could fetch over 1.2 million.
Of course, he had already refined the phosphorescent fire...
The only valuable item he currently possesses that he can use as collateral is that century-old Nine Nether Grass.
Of the five Nine Nether Grasses that Thunder Ghost Crimson Gold Python contributed, three ended up in Ma Xiao's hands, one five-hundred-year-old one was refined by Chen Yi, and one one-hundred-year-old Nine Nether Grass remained.
"Is anyone willing to bid higher at 500,000?"
The auctioneer's gaze swept across the crowd, especially landing on those buyers who had previously spent money and were known for their lavish spending.
"500,000 once, 500,000 twice..."
At that moment, in a spot barely visible to the naked eye, a young man who had been observing the scene raised his sign.
"Chen Yi?"
Those who knew Chen Yi at the scene looked surprised.
Zhao Manjin and Yu Wanbai exchanged a glance.
Why would he buy such dangerous foundation building materials?
Wu Lingyao and Yu Qian were even more surprised. Didn't Chen Yi already have two kinds of foundation-building materials?
However, this was ultimately Chen Yi's prerogative.
"The young buyer has raised the bid once," the auctioneer said with a slight smile.
Chen Yi tried his best to remain calm.
He's not like Yu Qian, who doesn't care about tens of thousands of yuan.
Actually, adding 5000 to the price each time is a bit painful for him...
You know, a serving of herbal soup in the cafeteria only costs 1998, and the auntie will even smile and say to me, "Hello, classmate!"
Seeing Chen Yi raise the price, the buyer who thought he had already won the bid had a slightly darker expression.
Unexpectedly, another voice rang out: "510,000!"
Everyone looked over at the sound and saw that it was that turtle man, or rather, it was Young Master Zhao from the Zhao family.
Zhao Manjin looked at Chen Yi with a malicious expression.
"Since your companion embarrassed me, you can forget about getting the item you want..."
Chen Yi narrowed his eyes slightly, and I withdrew my previous pity. Sure enough, it wasn't a group of people who couldn't sleep in the same bed.
You two really need to stick together and never come back to the market.
"What a stingy guy, he can't even afford to play this game..." Yu Qian pouted.
Because she made Zhao Manjin lose face, he held a grudge. Chen Yi was in cahoots with Yu Qian, and he was clearly taking the opportunity to get revenge.
“Chen Yi, go ahead and raise the price. He doesn’t have much money. I’ll lend you the rest,” Yu Qian said to Chen Yi.
Chen Yi took a deep breath and said thank you.
He then raised his sign again.
"680,000."
From Zhao Manjin's bidding for the Xuanbing seed, he deduced that the other party probably had less than a million in cash.
As expected, Zhao Manjin's face darkened again when he heard the price.
Yu Qian's words, "Just for good luck," seemed to echo in my mind once again.
Just when Chen Yi thought he was about to give up, Zhao Manjin continued to shout, "700,000."
Everyone looked at him with a puzzled expression.
Didn't he already give up after that girl offered 680,000?
How come this young man can afford 700,000 yuan this time?
Chen Yi sneered inwardly: It seems that Zhao Manjin doesn't care much about Yu Wanbai either.
“You…” Yu Wanbai stared blankly at Zhao Manjin.
He explained, "I can pawn this watch for tens of thousands of dollars. They've embarrassed you and me; don't you want to fight back?"
Upon hearing this, Yu Wanbai's eyes flickered for a moment before she fell silent.
Zhao Manjin assumed the other party had tacitly agreed, and his expression became even more frantic.
He pulled out his phone and started asking people for money...
At this point, Chen Yi was also continuously raising the price.
"800,000, the price has reached 800,000, is there anyone else who wants to raise the price?" the auctioneer asked.
At this moment, Zhao Manjin was sweating profusely with anxiety.
Why haven't those two grandsons, Sun Yu and Hou Xiangheng, replied to my message yet?
Then he thought of a solution—borrowing money!
If it were a legitimate platform, given his status, the credit limit would definitely not be small.
But he still plans to take out small loans because they have fast approval processes!
Urged on by the auctioneer, he still called out the number 820,000.
Chen Yi said in a deep voice, "850,000."
At this moment, Yu Qian couldn't stand it any longer. Holding a black card in her hand, she raised her hand and said, "As a black card member, I request to verify this person's qualifications."
If Zhao Manjin cannot produce the corresponding amount of money, his bid will be invalid, and the item will ultimately belong to Chen Yi.
Zhao Manjin's face flushed red. He had a sudden inspiration and shouted, "I'm a gold card member! I want to check his qualifications too!"
He thought to himself: I must be out of my mind. I don't have that much money, but does Chen Yi have it?
This move of exploding together was absolutely brilliant!
"Please check the room next door."
Two staff members approached Chen Yi and Zhao Manjin respectively.
Since it was Chen Yi who made the bid, the bank card was checked on his own account, so Yu Qian couldn't help.
The two were led to a room equipped with various instruments to check their bank accounts.
In addition, there are staff members who can appraise the collateral on the spot.
Zhao Manjin immediately took off the gold watch that a relative had given him for his birthday.
"After appraisal, this gold watch is worth 80,000 yuan."
"Can."
Zhao Manjin nodded, agreeing to the price.
Chen Yi narrowed his eyes slightly. If it were based on the crazy gold prices on Blue Star in his previous life, Zhao Manjin's watch would probably be worth four or five hundred thousand.
Unfortunately, gold in this world isn't that valuable.
Just then, Zhao Manjin's phone rang.
He quickly looked at his phone, a smile he couldn't suppress spreading across his face.
The money has arrived! It's his loan!
It still has to be the small, unregulated platform; the money arrives quickly and decisively...
He then publicly displayed a card and some cash deposits on various apps.
The final price was 830,000, which was enough to pay his initial offer of 820,000.
He immediately breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Chen Yi with an expression of anticipation: "Chen Yi, don't just stand there! Show us your abilities!"
