Chapter 684: Six hundred and eighty-four, bidding
The Black Robed Elder let out a cold laugh and ceased his bidding. To him, Song Yan Ning and Qin Yushen were already dead men; why should he bother contending with the dead?
Qing Yu waited a moment, and upon seeing that no one else was bidding, she spoke, “Two hundred thousand High Grade Ghost Spiritual Pearls for the first time, does anyone else wish to bid? There’s only one Inkstone like this in all the world; miss it now, and you’ll never have another chance.”
She surveyed the crowd, waiting for someone to make an offer.
How could the people present dare to compete? The previous bidders were no less than the Ghost King and the Ghost Emperor themselves—who would vie with them, if not courting their own demise?
Qing Yu waited a moment more, and seeing still no one bid, she continued, “Two hundred thousand High Grade Ghost Spiritual Pearls for the second time… two hundred thousand High Grade Ghost Spiritual Pearls for the third time, sold! Let us congratulate the friend in Private Room Number Three, for acquiring the treasured item they desired.” She knew that even if she said more, no one would bid; if she were in their place, she too would certainly prioritize her little life.
Claps sporadically sounded out with isolated applause.
Soon after, the Inkstone was delivered to Song Yan Ning’s private room.
Song Yan Ning handed over two hundred thousand High Grade Ghost Spiritual Pearls to the messenger and received the Inkstone, promptly stowing it in her own space.
The Inkstone had no sooner entered the Spiritual Pearl Space when it transformed into a streak of golden light and fused with the Judge’s Pen.
Though Song Yan Ning hadn’t used them yet, she already felt the immense power that the Judge’s Pen and Inkstone released once joined.
She curved her lips upwards in satisfaction. She planned to wield the Judge’s Pen and Inkstone when the Ghost Emperor came looking for trouble, eager to test their combined might.
The auction below continued, but Song Yan Ning and Qin Yushen lost interest in the subsequent items being sold.
The Black Robed Elder’s face remained stern. Had it not been for the rule forbidding violence at the auction, he would have already reduced Song Yan Ning and Qin Yushen to ashes. Aside from a few old geezers in The Peaceful Realms, no one had ever dared to ignore him so blatantly.
“Now, the item we are about to auction is the long-awaited Life Tree Seed. The Life Tree bears fruit only once every ten thousand years, each time yielding only three fruits, and our auction house has but a single seed from the Life Tree. The starting bid is five hundred thousand High Grade Ghost Spiritual Pearls, with each bid increment not to be less than ten thousand.”
On hearing the price, many in the crowd shook their heads in disappointment. Half a million High Grade Ghost Spiritual Pearls was an astronomical sum for many.
Yet, the bidding was still fiercely competitive, as many had come specifically for the Ghost Spiritual Pearls.
“Five hundred and ten thousand High Grade Ghost Spiritual Pearls!”
“Five hundred and twenty thousand High Grade Ghost Spiritual Pearls!”
“Five hundred and thirty thousand…”
The price quickly soared to one million High Grade Ghost Spiritual Pearls and showed no signs of stopping, continuing to climb relentlessly.
“One million five hundred thousand High Grade Ghost Spiritual Pearls,” the Black Robed Elder stated in a heavy voice. The seed of the Life Tree would greatly benefit him as well.
“Two million High Grade Ghost Spiritual Pearls,” Qin Yushen swiftly countered. The Life Tree Seed was tied to Xunxun’s awakening, and even at great cost, he was determined to win it in the auction.
The Black Robed Elder turned livid with rage, unable to contain his aura that explosively burst out. He itched to obliterate Song Yan Ning and Qin Yushen on the spot.
The formidable aura of the Black Robed Elder sent those present into a fearful tremble, and some of the less powerful Ghost Cultivators coughed up blood and fainted away.
Qing Yu, frightened, swallowed hard, “Two million High Grade Ghost Spiritual Pearls, is there anyone else who wishes to continue bidding?” All she wanted now was to hasten the end of the auction and avoid being caught in the crossfire.
