The Invincible Doctor of the Female Village Chief
Chapter 754 - 755: How Many Chocolate Bars Can 5 Billion Buy
Watching some martial artists sit down, a few martial artists were extremely excited.
Wen Shan smiled faintly, "Though there aren’t many who study arrays, this array is a powerful tool in the path of a martial artist, a strong trump card at critical moments, so the starting price for these two books is ten million, with each bid not less than two million!"
"Holy crap, that’s high!"
"Martial artists are seen as different from ordinary people, and array masters are the odd ones out among martial artists."
Countless people sighed, acknowledging that things related to arrays truly have a high price.
Liu Zixuan raised an eyebrow slightly, "If there’s a bidding war, the Star Map and Star Constellation Map might reach a sky-high price."
"That’s impossible!" Jiang Yunxuan murmured, "One or two hundred million at most!"
Liu Zixuan laughed, "Let’s just wait and see."
"Fifteen million!" a martial artist on the left shouted.
"Twenty million!"
"Twenty-four million!"
Although the bid must not be less than two million, the actual increases were always multiples of two million.
With each bid, other martial artists were repeatedly surprised. They all secretly thought the value of the Star Map was exceptionally high.
Liu Zixuan leisurely raised his hand, "Thirty million!"
"Interesting. Since not many are vying for this auction item, we remaining ones might as well be straightforward." At this moment, a young man stood up, looked around, and finally fixed his eyes on Wen Shan, "I bid one hundred million!"
"Hiss!"
"That’s terrifying!"
Hearing this price, the people around couldn’t sit still. They marveled in secret and gasped in shock.
"The items within this array are really valuable!" Jiang Yunxuan widened his eyes and murmured, "If I’d known, I would have studied arrays."
Liu Zixuan sneered, "An array master requires endless array maps to train, which is why there’s such fierce competition!"
"One hundred fifty million!"
At this moment, a burly man stood up, "Everyone, I am the direct disciple of the Sect Leader of the Thousand Crane Sect, and I have studied this array deeply. I rely on this Star Map to break through, so could you please yield a little?"
"Thousand Crane Sect is nothing! Anyone bidding for this auction item desperately needs a breakthrough in arrays!" The young man retorted directly, "If you have money, keep bidding; if not, sit quietly. Anyone daring to bid over a hundred million is from a famous sect or large family in the Star Sea!"
"You!" The burly man was at a loss for words and wanted to continue but, due to financial constraints, had to sit down reluctantly.
"Is there anyone else bidding?" the young man asked everyone.
"We bid three hundred million!" At this time, a young voice came from the right corner.
Everyone turned to look and saw that the bidder was an eight or nine-year-old girl with a fearless expression and a flushed little face.
"Little girl, this isn’t child’s play; three hundred million isn’t just a number!" The young man sneered.
"Three hundred million is nothing, that’s not even enough for my Tongtong’s pocket money for a year!" A noblewoman stood beside the little girl, speaking confidently.
The young man looked carefully, "She... she’s called Tongtong? Is she the Divine Maiden from the Jade Maiden Sect?"
"Is there a second person with that name in the Star Sea Martial Realm?" The noblewoman spoke emphatically.
"Jade Maiden Sect?" Jiang Yunxuan frowned, "I think I’ve heard my dad mention this sect. It’s entirely composed of women, and there are only a dozen of them, but each one is a master of at least the Imperial Realm Middle Stage."
"That’s right, the Divine Maiden Tongtong is appointed by the Sect Leader of the Jade Maiden Sect as the next Sect Leader. At nine years old, she’s already broken through to the Imperial Realm Early Stage and is considered the youngest prodigious Divine Maiden. The entire sect revolves around her now."
Listening to Jiang Yunxuan, a martial artist nearby spoke.
Liu Zixuan’s lips twitched a few times, "The Jade Maiden Sect is really something else; three hundred million is just a year’s pocket money for the Divine Maiden. Such extravagance leaves many in awe!"
"Brother Xuan, are you still going to bid?" Huzi asked.
"With them raising the price directly, there will surely be fewer competitors. With less competition, let’s see who gets it in the end." Liu Zixuan shrugged. He wouldn’t give up on such a treasure.
Never mind the Jade Maiden Sect; even if the beauties of the Jade Maiden Sect were fighting to marry Liu Zixuan, he still wouldn’t hand it over!
"I didn’t expect the Jade Maiden Sect to make a move. Normally, I would give your Sect Leader some face, but this item is of immense use to me, so I must claim it."
The young man smiled gently at the noblewoman and then said, "I bid four hundred million!"
"Five hundred million!" Liu Zixuan said calmly.
"Oh, another one!" The young man glanced at Liu Zixuan, "May I ask who you are?"
"In this Ghost Market, I think it’s impolite to ask someone’s identity," Liu Zixuan laughed.
The Star Map is paramount; he can’t reveal his identity too soon. If others find out he’s Liu Zixuan, those martial artists might not hesitate to act and kill him to claim the Gu Family’s reward.
The young man paused upon hearing this, then laughed, "Brother, don’t misunderstand, I was just asking casually. Now, it’s just us three. Bidding further may not mean much."
"Do you have a better idea?" the noblewoman asked.
"Simple, I’ll say a number. If you bid more, I’ll withdraw, and you can continue, but if you don’t have more than me, then the treasure is mine!" The young man smiled.
Liu Zixuan and the noblewoman exchanged a glance and nodded in agreement. There was no need to continue bidding madly over one number.
"I can go up to five billion!" The young man stood tall and declared each word clearly.
Five billion, that’s not paper money, but actual currency!
Stacked up, it could fill the entire Mandarin Duck Pavilion.
Everyone gasped in shock at this price.
"It’s simply insane!" was the cry in everyone’s heart!
The noblewoman pondered, "Tongtong, should we still buy it for five billion?"
Tongtong scratched her head and adorably asked, "Auntie, how much ice cream can five billion buy?"
"Oh my gosh!"
"The Divine Maiden is extraordinarily divine!"
One would have thought Tongtong would say something profound, but no one expected such a naïve question.
Even Liu Zixuan couldn’t help but twitch his lips slightly, "After all, still just a child!"
