The martial artists present naturally had little interest in this leaf.

No matter what level the legacy of Chanting the Dao within the leaf might be, it held no attraction for them.

Yet.

Every telekinesis master present was eagerly anticipating it.

Sun Juetian directly called out a bid: "Two billion."

Even though he didn't know the level of the legacy of Chanting the Dao inside the leaf, he was confident Hongtu Commerce had made a promise, so Sun Juetian wasn't afraid of being at a disadvantage.

"Three billion."

"Three billion two hundred million."

"Three billion eight hundred million." 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

...

Voices calling out bids rose one after another; it was clear that all the telekinesis masters were very interested in this leaf.

"Six billion."

Qin Chen spoke calmly, once again offering the familiar number.

Many gazes looked over in surprise: "Could he be a telekinesis master?"

"He must be; otherwise, he wouldn't be bidding. But can he really fight for the leaf and win it?"

Sun Juetian also glanced at Qin Chen; earlier, Qin Chen had snatched the Wind Immortal Dress from him, so he had already remembered Qin Chen.

However, it was evident he had retreated only because he felt the Wind Immortal Dress was dispensable, given that it was just a gift to someone.

But this leaf, it's an entirely different matter.

"Do you still want to snatch this leaf?"

Sun Juetian sneered, directly raising his voice: "Sixteen billion."

He was clearly trying to scare Qin Chen away, intentionally raising the price by ten billion.

At this instant.

Many telekinesis masters who had been prepared to bid suddenly shook their heads dejectedly; how can they continue bidding like this?

"It seems Sun Juetian is really standing up against this guy."

"Ha, earlier he was competing with Ma Yao and Huang Xiuwen, already spending an extremely high amount of Elemental Crystals. Now, he probably doesn't have the financial strength to contest with Sun Juetian."

...

Qin Chen glanced at Sun Juetian and smiled.

Sun Juetian kept his expression unchanged, calmly saying, "This leaf, I, Sun Juetian, want it. No matter how high the price, I, Sun Juetian, will add one billion more."

"Domineering."

Many hearts trembled; few dare to say something like this, but Sun Juetian was definitely one of them.

They were looking at Qin Chen.

This guy, faced with such a forceful Sun Juetian, would he still bid higher?

Qin Chen smiled slightly: "Twenty-six billion."

As his voice fell.

Quite a few faces froze immediately.

He directly added ten billion?

Even Sun Juetian himself hadn't anticipated this; his previously calm face was suddenly frozen as if encased in ice.

The auctioneer was also extremely astonished, then enthusiastically declared, "Guest number 531 bids twenty-six billion, Chairman Sun, would you like to increase your bid by one billion?"

Sun Juetian's face darkened; he had anticipated Qin Chen might bid higher, but never thought Qin Chen would directly add ten billion.

This guy, what is he taking Elemental Crystals for?

Cabbage, perhaps?

However, he had said it himself; no matter how high, he would add a billion to the original base, which he had said himself, but at this moment, it felt like he was just slapping himself in the face.

"Of course."

Sun Juetian forced calmness, but in his heart, he had already cursed Qin Chen and his ancestors repeatedly; spending twenty-seven billion on an uncertain thing seemed sheer wasteful extravagance.

"Chairman Sun bids, twenty-seven billion. Does anyone else wish to increase the bid?"

The auctioneer beamed; the auction value of this leaf had already far exceeded expectations.

Many eyes turned to Qin Chen.

Now, the only one likely to increase the bid was probably Qin Chen.

Sun Juetian suddenly spoke: "You young folks are always zealous, but I advise you best weigh it well."

"Sun Juetian is really putting everything on this."

"No choice, he has to back his words even if it means losing face."

"Twenty-seven billion! My heavens, this is terrifying."

"Do you think he might intentionally provoke Sun Juetian, consequently raising the bid again?"

"I don't think so, unless he has a death wish; he already offended many people before, now offending Sun Juetian and spending that much money is unnecessary."

"Moreover, Sun Juetian's words seem like advice, but essentially it's a naked threat; he is after all the Great Star Dynasty's foremost telekinesis master, possibly becoming a Mind Sovereign level expert."

...

"There's nothing to weigh."

Just as Sun Juetian's words fell, Qin Chen spoke up.

He appeared calm, a tranquility not manufactured like Sun Juetian's, but from within.

Sun Juetian's pupils narrowed, looking at Qin Chen, what did he mean?

"Thirty-seven billion." Qin Chen said calmly.

Upon these words.

Many eyes visibly enlarged; in an instant, the entire auction hall was silent, not even a breath could be heard.

Even Zhang Yuanfeng looked at Qin Chen shocked; he had hoped the auctioned item would fetch a high price, but now, this had entirely surpassed his imagination.

Thirty-seven billion!

Heavens!

Moreover, it was again directly adding ten billion on top of Sun Juetian's price.

Without even a quivering voice.

Sun Juetian was aghast, staring fiercely at Qin Chen.

Only Qin Chen himself sat calmly in his position, his gaze fixed on Sun Juetian.

The meaning in his eyes was very obvious.

Will you increase your bid?

"Fierce man, absolute fierce man."

"Counting, it seems he's already spent over eighty billion Elemental Crystals at this auction... unbelievable! Oh my, oh heavens!"

...

After a brief silence.

Sounds of gasping echoed, numerous widened pupils staring at Qin Chen, unmoving, dumbstruck.

This, this was terrifying.

The auctioneer at this moment didn't bother to ask Sun Juetian, because to inquire in this situation if Sun Juetian wished to increase the bid, that would be intentionally embarrassing Sun Juetian.

He had presided over tens of thousands of auctions, but at this moment, his voice inevitably trembled a bit, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and spoke loudly: "Is there anyone else, wishing to place a higher bid?"

There was no response at the auction.

Sun Juetian's face looked somewhat displeased.

Qin Chen stared calmly at Sun Juetian: "Didn't you say no matter how high the price is, you would add a billion on the original base? How come now you're silent?"

"This guy..."

Hearing Qin Chen's words, many people's gazes hardened; was this leaving no face for Sun Juetian at all? Didn't even the auctioneer refrain from mentioning Sun Juetian's name?

Sun Juetian's face was livid: "This leaf you want, then take it."

Embarrassment is what it is, but Sun Juetian didn't want to be the fool.

"In future, when speaking or acting, don't be like a child; if you've said it, then you have to do it, if you can't then better not say it first."

"Someone, collect the money."

Qin Chen spoke indifferently, handing over the Elemental Crystal Card.
