Next came several precious items, and Nangong Yu and Xuanyuan Qi had a tit-for-tat confrontation. Nangong Yu was uncharacteristically unaccustomed, and no matter how the other party bid, he would not give in, acting as if he was going to burn money.
Upon seeing this, Xuanyuan Qi acted even more ruthlessly and raised the price to a sky-high level.
Nangong Yu looked towards box number three.
Ever since winning the Tenth Rank Heavenly Supreme Ice Stone Python Spirit Crystal, Box No. 3 has never participated in an auction again.
If spending more money can make her happy, then what's wrong with him spending more?
Nangong Yu bid again.
"Fellow Daoist, you are so courageous. I withdraw." Xuanyuan Qi stopped bidding, and another item fell into Nangong Yu's hands.
The auction house made a huge profit. After the auctioneer set the mood, she solemnly took out the last item of the auction.
"It can be said that everyone present gathered in the Fuxian Mountains because of it. Although everyone missed it, today everyone has a chance to obtain it again."
Having whetted everyone's appetite, the auctioneer lifted the red silk cloth, revealing the colorful Lingxiao Immortal Soul inside.
"This is the treasure we've all come to find, the Lingxiao Immortal Soul! Who will finally get it today? Let's wait and see!"
As soon as Lingxiao Immortal Soul appeared, the whole audience was boiling, and it had already attracted heated discussions before the bidding started.
No one had expected that the Lingxiao Immortal Soul they had been so eagerly pursuing would actually appear at the auction like this! There was no sign of it at all!
Such treasures would attract everyone to scramble for them if one wasn't careful. The fact that the auction house dared to auction Lingxiao Immortal Soul showed how strong their strength was and how much confidence they had!
"Lingxiao Immortal Soul, starting price is 100 million, each bid increase must not be less than 10 million!"
Yuan Zhengqing looked at Ling Xiang, and finally understood what Ling Xiang meant by someone sending money.
In just a moment, those who were bidding for Lingxiao Xianpo had become furious, and the price soared to billions!
Ling Xiang wasn't surprised that some people were very rich, but it was very unusual for so many people to be so rich at the same time: "Are all these people so rich? They can easily spend billions of spirit stones?"
Yuan Zhengqing explained, "According to the rules of the auction house, if you don't have enough spirit stones, you can use the treasures you have on you to pay for them. However, the amount of money you can use for the treasures is the lowest market price of the treasures. However, when faced with a treasure like the Lingxiao Immortal Soul that everyone covets, they would be willing to fight for it even if it means selling everything they have."
"Oh!" Ling Xiang understood. "So, the auction house is very profitable! They buy treasures at the lowest prices and then sell them on for a huge profit."
"But at the same time, the auction house is also at great risk. If these people start fighting, the auction house will suffer the most losses. If the fighting gets intense, there are precedents of auction houses suffering casualties or even being completely uprooted."
Ling Xiang nodded: "So the auction house is a high-risk industry. You can't open an auction house without some strength?"
Yuan Zhengqing affirmed, "So don't offend any auction house lightly. You never know what superpower is behind them."
Ling Xiang jokingly said, "If an important figure in the auction house breaks the law, would Lord Yuan dare to arrest him?"
"As long as Your Majesty agrees, there is no prisoner that this government dares not arrest."
Ling Xiang really didn't expect that Lord Yuan, who seemed upright, would actually shift the blame, and the person he shifted the blame to was the current emperor.
After they talked for a while, the bidding for Lingxiao Immortal Soul turned into a battle between Nangong Yu and Xuanyuan Qi.
Nangong Yu wanted to get Lingxiao's immortal soul and return it to Ling Xiang.
However, Xuanyuan Qi knew that Lingxiao's immortal soul belonged to Ling Xiang, and he wanted to give his wife more spirit stones with a legitimate reason, and at the same time, annoy the Lord of Luosha Palace, so that he could see his own strength clearly and not covet things that he shouldn't covet.
Xuanyuan Qi called out the price to 100 billion.
Nangong Yu roughly estimated the value of all the valuable things on him and looked at Chen Long: "Estimate the lowest price of the things you can sell."
Chen Long immediately did as he was told and quickly gave an estimate: "About 10 million. Palace Master, do you need me to go to the nearest branch of the Rakshasa Palace to pick up the spirit stones?"
"No."
Nangong Yu opened the window of the private room and looked towards the auction platform. "I just carefully calculated all the money I have. One hundred billion is already my limit. I'm very curious, can the fellow Taoist in Room 4 really come up with so many spirit stones or treasures of equal value?"
"Don't worry about that." Xuanyuan Qi retorted bluntly.
"Who would carry so many things on their person for no reason? Unless you have a powerful force behind you, and this powerful force can deliver spirit stones to you in a timely manner, such as this auction house. This also explains why you have been driving up the prices of the items. Your purpose is self-evident."
As soon as these words were spoken, the whole audience gasped.
If the auction house really deliberately raises the price, then they will become the victims and no one will trust this auction house anymore. They may even consider joining forces to get back their lost profits.
The auctioneer said sternly, "You dare to slander our auction house? Are you prepared to bear the consequences?"
"I just have a reasonable suspicion. If the fellow Daoist in Box 4 isn't from the auction house, then why are you carrying so much valuables? Could it be that you already knew that Lingxiao Immortal Soul was going to be auctioned here?"
"You don't have money, but you don't allow others to have money?" Xuanyuan Qi sneered, "Fellow Daoist, are you still raising the price? Don't waste everyone's time."
Nangong Yu was confident:
"According to auction house regulations, insiders are not allowed to participate in auctions or disclose any information about the auction items without permission. If you cannot prove that you are neither of the above two situations, then all auctions you participated in will be voided."
Upon hearing this, Ling Xiang asked Yuan Zhengqing, "Master Yuan, whoever advocates should provide evidence, right?"
Yuan Zhengqing nodded: "That's right. The Luosha Palace Master suspects that there is something fishy going on at the auction house. He must provide evidence himself. He cannot ask the person under suspicion to prove his innocence."
Xuanyuan Qi opened the window and taunted, "Your Excellency can have reasonable suspicions, I can have reasonable suspicions, and everyone can. However, unfounded suspicions are defamation! Please provide evidence to prove your suspicions, otherwise, I will sue you for defamation."
"I am the evidence, and everyone here is also the evidence. Fellow Daoists, would you carry something worth hundreds of billions with you?"
When gods fight, smart people won’t get involved, for fear of becoming the little ghost that suffers.
After Nangong Yu asked, no one answered.
Nangong Yu was not discouraged by this: "Obviously, no one participated in the bidding, which is the best proof. Apart from this fellow Taoist, no one here brought so much wealth."
"If I heard correctly, the Lord of Luosha Palace is changing the concept and trying to reversely prove his own guess. To put it bluntly, he is using one guess to prove another guess. He is simply trying to deceive the other party, right?" Ling Xiang asked Yuan Zhengqing again.
Yuan Zhengqing nodded: "Miss Ling is very smart, but I don't know how the fellow Taoist in Box 4 will break the deadlock."
