However…
This was actually the limit Lin Jing could offer.
Any more, and he truly wouldn’t be able to come up with it.
He had deduced that the woman’s emotions were unstable, which is why he had dared to take such a gamble, betting that she wouldn’t dare to continue bidding.
After Lin Jing finished speaking, the venue fell silent as well, curious to see whether the woman would keep up.
Even Steward Cheng on the auction stage felt the same way.
“Bidder number 256, offering 5,300 Medium Grade Spirit Stones, is there anyone else who wishes to follow?”
However, after waiting for a long time, there was still no further bidding.
Steward Cheng knew as well that the woman in the Li Family’s box must not dare to raise the price further, so he began the countdown. “5,300 Medium Grade Spirit Stones, going once.” “5,300 Medium Grade Spirit Stones, going twice.” “5,300 Medium Grade Spirit Stones, going three times…”
“Bang”
The auction hammer fell.
“Sold!
“Congratulations to bidder number 256, on acquiring the Ling Yin Imperial Sword Technique.”
It was not until this moment that Lin Jing finally relaxed, having secured the Ling Yin Imperial Sword Technique.
Inside the venue, many people looked towards Lin Jing, their eyes filled with envy.
Of course, most envied his wealth.
Even the middle-aged man sitting next to Lin Jing showed a smile and said,
“Congratulations, fellow Daoist.”
Lin Jing nodded in response and looked back at the stage again.
Then, the maid took the stage once more, carrying the Ling Yin Imperial Sword Technique away.
Meanwhile, the next item up for auction was brought up by another maid.
And the rest of the people in the venue turned their attention back to the auction stage and its offerings.
At this time, Lin Jing stood up, walked through the aisle, and headed towards the back of the auction hall.
Passing through the corridor, he quickly arrived at the same room as before.
Elder Yu was still there.
Just like last time, Lin Jing handed over the Spirit Stones and received the Ling Yin Imperial Sword Technique.
He then bade farewell and left.
This time, he did not leave the venue but went back inside.
The auction for the Lifespan Extension Pill, which was the highlight of the auction event, was up next. He wanted to see it at all costs, and incidentally, get a sense of the power of these families.
After all, it was a struggle between at least two families, perhaps even more.
Upon returning to the venue, only a few people noticed him; the others were still actively participating in the bidding.
In this way, the afternoon came quickly, and Lin Jing realized that those who entered the venue were indeed rich.
For the treasures that were of interest to them, there was fierce competition.
Thus, one after another, the items were auctioned off. Some of them made Lin Jing’s heart race, especially those third-order Spirit Plants used in Elixir Medicine, each fetching an astronomical price.
Unfortunately, Lin Jing had no more Spirit Stones left and could only watch with longinz.
Four hours passed, and the auction was nearing its end.
Steward Cheng’s voice was growing hoarse from continuous shouting.
“Next, please welcome the following auction item.”
As Steward Cheng’s voice finished, a maid holding an exceptionally exquisite jade box stepped onto the stage and displayed the contents to everyone in the hall.
Lin Jing saw a blood-red fruit inside the box. The fruit was not very big, but it was extremely red, as if it had been soaked in blood.
“Blood Red Vermilion Fruit…”
At that moment, someone excitedly called out the name of the fruit.
This was the Blood Red Vermilion Fruit.
Steward Cheng then said,
“I’m sure everyone is aware, this is the Blood Red Vermilion Fruit, and it is the main ingredient for crafting the Cultivation True Elixir.”
“As for the Cultivation True Elixir, that is a divine medicine for advancing to the Golden Core Stage, and I need not elaborate on its value. I presume everyone here is well aware,”
“Alright, without further ado,”
“Next up, we will auction the Blood Red Vermilion Fruit, starting at ten thousand Medium Grade Spirit Stones. Each bid must be no less than one thousand Medium Grade Spirit Stones.”
“The auction starts now.”
“Bang”
With the fall of the auction hammer, the auction of the Blood Red Vermilion Fruit officially began.
After a moment of silence, the first person began to bid.
“I bid ten thousand Medium Grade Spirit Stones.”
It was quite a while before another voice rang out.
Clearly, the starting price of the Blood Red Vermilion Fruit had already deterred most of the crowd.
“Twelve thousand Medium Grade Spirit Stones.”
The atmosphere in the venue this time was not so chaotic.
Many looked up at the private boxes above, knowing well that the final contention over the Blood Red Vermilion Fruit would inevitably be a matter concerning the families within those boxes.
And they could only stand by and watch, lacking the means to compete with those great families for so many Spirit Stones.
However, Lin Jing knew that this Blood Red Vermilion Fruit had already been reserved.
It would undoubtedly end up in the hands of Elder Master Li of the Li Family.
Meanwhile, the competition in the venue below was still ongoing.
At present, three families were competing, and the price of the Blood Red Vermilion Fruit had quickly risen to twenty thousand Medium Grade Spirit Stones.
And then, the other two families fell silent for a long while.
This led to confusion among the attendees in the venue, not understanding why the families in the second-floor boxes were not making their move. “Twenty thousand Medium Grade Spirit Stones for the first time.”
Shopkeeper Cheng proceeded as usual. When the time came, he began the countdown.
At this moment, the crowd could not help whispering among themselves, and the venue started to grow somewhat noisy.
Just as the noise began to rise in the venue, a calm voice emanated from the Li Family’s box on the second floor. ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com
“Thirty thousand, Medium Grade Spirit Stones.”
That single sentence deflated the hopes of the person who had just bid twenty thousand, believing victory was in their grasp.
They could not possibly afford such a price.
The voice was familiar to Lin Jing—it was Elder Master Li.
Elder Master Li’s words made everyone who had been discussing moments before fall silent.
Then came a prolonged wait. After Elder Master Li’s bid of thirty thousand Medium Grade Spirit Stones, no other bidders emerged.
Such an anomalous situation left everyone in the venue puzzled as their gazes turned towards the second floor.
They had hoped for other families to compete with Elder Master Li, but with so much time passing, none spoke up.
Following that, Steward Cheng started the countdown just as before.
“Thirty thousand Medium Grade Spirit Stones, for the first time.” “Thirty thousand Medium Grade Spirit Stones, for the second time.” “Thirty thousand Medium Grade Spirit Stones, for the third time…”
The auction hammer fell, and Steward Cheng shouted loudly:
“Congratulations to True Master Li for obtaining the Blood Red Vermilion
Fruit.”
Afterward…
The maid carried the Blood Red Vermilion Fruit directly to the second floor.
With the auction of the Blood Red Vermilion Fruit complete, Steward Cheng straightened his clothes and continued to speak:
“Up to this point…
“Today’s auction is also nearing its end, and I believe many people have acquired the items they desired.”
“Coming up next is the highlight of this auction.” “Please welcome the final lot of today…”
“The Lifespan Extension Pill..”
