Chapter 434: Chapter 434 Sword Soul Cultivation Technique
The price quickly climbed to five hundred thousand.
"Six hundred thousand!"
"Six hundred fifty thousand!"
"..."
"One million!"
"One million one hundred thousand!"
Only two people were left frantically bidding against each other!
The current price was already excessively inflated; the Three Holy Stones were not worth this much at all!
However, Old Ghost loved seeing such situations occur.
The more heated the auction attendees became, the more he enjoyed it!
That’s how the auction price soared higher!
"One million five hundred thousand!"
With a loud roar, the room fell into silence.
The person who had been fighting intensely for it came to his senses; if he continued, he’d be left with nothing.
"Haha! If you want it that much, it’s yours!"
The one who shouted one million five hundred thousand also came to his senses now.
But he forced himself to stay calm and said, "I’m happy to do it, I want to, happiness is priceless!"
Old Ghost laughed and said, "Next, let’s welcome the third item..."
Several more items were auctioned, but Ye Chen and Xiao Fan showed no intention of bidding.
Regardless of what appeared, Xiao Fan remained indifferent.
His target was that Earth Tier cultivation technique.
Most of those who bid early had limited funds, and those bidding later hoped not to miss what they really wanted and find something useful, making the trip worthwhile.
Another half hour passed, and the auction moved into the latter half.
Old Ghost, full of Spring Wind, said, "The next item up for auction is a real treasure! A top-level Earth Tier item, a rare find! It’s called the Three Yin Fruit, providing Yin Water, Yin Fire, and Yin Wood, making it excellent for water, fire, and wood attribute pets. Can be consumed directly, no refining needed! Starting price: eight hundred thousand gold coins!"
"The Three Yin Fruit has appeared; this is only found in Yin Land! I specifically sought it there last time but didn’t find it, and now it’s here!"
"One million!"
Someone shouted loudly, raising the bid by twenty thousand gold coins!
"One million one hundred thousand! Please show some respect, I sincerely like this Three Yin Fruit!"
"Respect? Who do you think you are! One million two hundred thousand!"
"One million five hundred thousand!"
...
Quickly, the price shot up to two million!
There was a lot of interest in the Three Yin Fruit.
Not only could it enhance one’s attributes, but it could also suppress others’, making it a truly valuable item.
"Two million three hundred thousand!"
"Two million eight hundred thousand! If anyone bids higher, I’ll gladly concede!"
Ultimately, the Three Yin Fruit was sold for an impressive two million eight hundred thousand!
Xiao Fan showed a hint of joy; this price was acceptable.
Combined with his savings, there was still hope for getting the Earth Tier cultivation technique.
A few more items were auctioned.
"Next is an Earth Tier cultivation technique called ’Sword Soul!’ This technique can be used by gold attribute pets!"
This time, Old Ghost surprisingly refrained from boasting.
Previously, Old Ghost boasted about everything, but this time he just offered a simple introduction.
"Starting price, nine hundred thousand gold coins!"
Ye Chen said, "Didn’t expect Old Ghost to keep his word; he really helped you out."
Xiao Fan, looking ahead and stroking his chin, said, "Of course, I once saved Old Ghost’s life, so he owes me a great favor. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have the influence to get Old Ghost to let you in and help me at the auction."
Indeed!
Ye Chen had guessed that the relationship between the two wasn’t simple.
Old Ghost’s lack of boasting didn’t mean there wouldn’t be takers.
In just two minutes, the price had already climbed to two million.
Xiao Fan didn’t rush to make a bid; bidding early was pointless.
As the price soared, Xiao Fan’s brow furrowed more and more.
Ye Chen patted Xiao Fan on the shoulder, saying with a smile, "Don’t worry, it’s okay."
Xiao Fan sighed, "I know, but adding up everything, including the gold coins from the Three Yin Fruit’s auction, I have only five million nine hundred thousand. If it goes higher, I’ll be stuck!"
Seeing Xiao Fan’s worried look, Ye Chen smiled, "No worries, if needed, I’ll lend you more."
Ye Chen took a glance at his own gold coins; even with just over two million seven hundred thousand, he could easily request more from the alliance. Chen Ruxin should have quite a bit left.
After all, the Star Alliance was his; with just a word, he could raise millions in no time.
But Ye Chen didn’t plan to ask.
His target was the Dark Tentacles, although it was a prized item, it couldn’t compare to the Universal Crystal Stone.
Once the Dark Tentacles appeared, he could relax.
As the price rose higher, fewer people stayed in the bidding.
Only three people remained in the auction.
"Five million!"
Someone shouted.
The higher-ups from the various alliances hadn’t intervened; they were uninterested in the Earth Tier cultivation technique.
Their focus was on the final items.
"Five million one hundred thousand!"
Finally, Xiao Fan spoke, "Five million four hundred thousand!"
"Five million five hundred thousand!"
"Five million six hundred thousand!"
Xiao Fan gritted his teeth, "Five million nine hundred thousand!"
Frankly, five million nine hundred thousand was already a high price; it could buy a top Earth Tier technique elsewhere.
"Six million!"
With a loud shout.
Xiao Fan shook his head helplessly.
He didn’t plan to continue; he didn’t want to trouble Ye Chen, especially when Ye Chen had his own targets.
Moreover, the later the items, the pricier they got!
Seeing Xiao Fan’s disappointment, Ye Chen picked up Xiao Fan’s bidding paddle and shouted loudly, "Six million five hundred thousand!"
"Six..."
The person still competing with Xiao Fan uttered six but stopped there, apparently out of gold coins.
"Six million five hundred thousand! Sold!"
"Ye Chen, what are you doing!"
Xiao Fan’s face was a bit unsightly.
Ye Chen patted Xiao Fan on the shoulder and handed him a million gold coins, saying, "It’s okay, take it. It’s rare to find something you really want, why not buy it?"
Xiao Fan glanced at the gold coins in his hand and eventually accepted them.
"Thank you!"
Xiao Fan said solemnly, treating Ye Chen as a true brother from then on.
Ye Chen didn’t say a word, continuing to watch the auction unfold.
The auction continued, with some of the alliances making their moves.
However, those making moves were from smaller alliances, who had no intention of competing for the last few items.
Fighting against the powerful alliances would leave them broke beyond repair.
Prices climbed higher as the auction continued, finally breaking ten million during the auction of a Celestial Tier advanced material.
This material was called Clear Spring Divine Water.
It was the main ingredient for synthesizing a celestial tier skill book for water attribute pets!
It was finally won by a water attribute pet alliance leader!
