Raising prices by several million was already terrifying enough, but who would have thought that someone would suddenly raise prices by tens of millions!
Even if you have money, you can't play like this!
Tianyue looked towards Luochen's room with a hint of excitement in her eyes. After seeing that no one made a sound, she smiled and said:
"Anyone willing to raise the price?!"
Actually, Tianyue's question was somewhat of a rhetorical one. With a price increase of tens of millions, who would dare to challenge him?
Especially since there are three treasures tonight, it's obvious that the main event is the last one. There's no need to offend people right from the start.
Seeing that there was no response for a long time, Tianyue smiled and said:
"Then this treasure belongs to the friends in the Heavenly Room!"
After saying this, Tianyue smiled and waved her hand, signaling the servant to leave.
"The auction for the second treasure, named Heavenly Punishment, will now begin!"
"To be precise, this is just a cultivation technique, a divine ability of unknown rank. Cultivating this technique will not cause any conflict with the technique one is currently cultivating, and it can even incorporate the power of lightning! It is said that the highest level of this technique can represent the consciousness of the world and annihilate anyone!"
As soon as Tian Yue finished speaking, a disdainful voice came from the stage.
Everyone thought that Tianyue had overpraised this technique, but although they believed that this technique was not as terrifying as Tianyue said, its power should not be underestimated.
"Starting price: fifty million spirit stones!"
"hiss"
Immediately, everyone gasped. Based on the lowest price alone, at least half of the people were ineligible.
"Sixty million."
An elderly man with a sharp glint in his eyes spoke calmly.
"Eighty million!"
When the old man heard the other man's offer, a look of displeasure appeared on his face, but he didn't say anything and kept his mouth shut.
"Ninety million!"
A middle-aged man in a blue robe stood up from his seat and spoke loudly to the crowd:
"I am Daoist Lei Yu! I would be grateful if you fellow Daoists would grant me a small favor!"
Perhaps Luo Chen had never heard of this name before, but when others heard the name Lei Yu Dao Ren, their expressions immediately became complicated.
As Lei Yu Dao Ren looked around, he seemed quite satisfied with the current situation, smiled and nodded, then sat down in his seat.
"One hundred and fifty million."
Before Lei Yu Dao Ren could even settle down, Luo Chen's voice rang out again in the room, causing Lei Yu Dao Ren to stagger and almost fall off his seat.
"Does this friend really have to oppose me?"
"Oppose me? You're not qualified!"
Chapter 134 Upgradeable Weapons
Luo Chen completely ignored the complicated expressions on the faces of the people around him after hearing the name of Lei Yu Dao Ren.
Lei Yu Dao Ren had not expected Luo Chen to be so arrogant. Now it was not only a competition for heavenly punishment, but also a matter of his own reputation.
Regardless, Heaven Punishment was determined to obtain this cultivation technique.
"What an arrogant little brat! Going against me, Daoist Lei Yu, will not end well."
However, 150 million is a considerable expense for Daoist Lei Yu, but he cannot afford to lose to Luo Chen in terms of momentum.
"One hundred and sixty million."
Lei Yu Dao Ren stared at Luo Chen with eyes full of anger and shouted out his bid.
Luo Chen's lips curled into a wicked smile. It seemed that the current price had reached its limit for Daoist Lei Yu, but it was just a drop in the ocean for him.
"Two hundred million."
After hearing Luo Chen's offer, everyone around turned their attention to him.
That's two hundred million! Among those present, only a very few could come up with two hundred million.
The fact that Luo Chen could produce it so easily shows just how powerful his background is.
"Does anyone know this young man? I never expected him to be able to easily come up with 200 million."
"I don't know him, but judging from the aura he exudes, he must have a powerful background. If he's not the disciple of some powerful figure, he's a member of some great family."
"Who cares? But what's next is going to be a good show. The renowned Thunder and Rain Daoist and this mysterious young man, it's really hard to tell who will get this set of techniques."
Like everyone else, Lei Yu Dao Ren was shocked by Luo Chen's offer, considering that he had only accumulated a few billion over several decades.
Buying this set of martial arts techniques for two hundred million is heartbreaking, but I can't lose face in front of this young man.
"Two hundred and thirty million."
"Two hundred and fifty million."
Luo Chen remained calm, as if the money had no effect on him whatsoever.
However, even Lei Yu Dao Ren was frightened by Luo Chen's performance and dared not continue to make offers.
Each price increase involves tens of millions, although Lei Yu Dao Ren can still hold on to the current price.
However, judging from Luo Chen's expression, this young man is determined to obtain this set of techniques, so the price will definitely continue to rise.
It's possible that the final cost will exceed the funds available to me, and besides, this Heavenly Punishment technique has already exceeded my budget.
So Lei Yu Dao Ren stopped talking and just glared fiercely at Luo Chen.
The scene was now completely silent, with everyone's eyes fixed on Luo Chen.
Tianyue's eyes were filled with excitement as she looked towards Luochen's room.
Two hundred and fifty million—this price is a record high. Never before has a set of cultivation techniques reached such a price.
The surrounding crowd fell silent. Tianyue excitedly said:
"Gentlemen, is there anyone willing to raise the price?"
In fact, Tianyue is just going through the motions now. At the current price, no one will raise the price, especially since Daoist Leiyu was defeated by Luochen.
Seeing that no one had responded for a long time.
Tianyue respectfully pointed to the room where Luochen was and said;
"Then this second treasure also belongs to the friends in the Tianzi Room."
The attendant standing on the platform handed the Heavenly Punishment Technique to Luo Chen.
Then another attendant appeared on the stage, holding a long box that, judging from its appearance, should be an item like a sword.
"Now we will begin the auction of the last treasure, which is also the highlight of this auction. This sword is called the Emperor Spirit Sword."
"According to legend, although this Emperor Spirit Sword has no rank, it can continuously improve its rank after recognizing its master. When it reaches the highest rank, it can crush any weapon of any rank in the world."
"However, there is something I must tell you all in advance: even if you remember the Emperor Spirit Sword, if the Emperor Spirit Sword does not recognize its master, then it is no different from scrap metal."
"The last person who possessed the Emperor Spirit Sword brought it here for auction precisely for this reason."
When Tian Yue finished introducing the Emperor Spirit Sword, it immediately caused a stir among the surrounding crowd.
So it seems that even if I were to win the bid for the Emperor Spirit Sword, I might become a powerful figure, or I might end up with a piece of scrap metal.
However, everyone held onto a sliver of hope, thinking that perhaps they themselves were the master of the Emperor Spirit Sword.
Luo Chen looked at the Emperor Spirit Sword in the servant's hand, and his mind seemed to resonate with the Emperor Spirit Sword.
It should be noted that such a magnetic field effect only occurs when a treasure recognizes its owner. It seems that the Emperor Spirit Sword has already found its master.
That person is Luo Chen.
"The starting bid for this last Emperor Spirit Sword is 180 million."
"what"
In an instant, everyone gasped, and most of them looked pitifully at the Emperor Spirit Sword in the servant's hand.
He could only shake his head and sigh; it seemed that such a treasure was not meant for him.
"Two hundred and fifty million."
A boy dressed in gorgeous clothes called out calmly.
All eyes turned to the young man; it seemed that quite a few young men with connections had come to this auction.
Luo Chen carefully examined the young man; the young man's entire outfit must have cost at least several million.
When Lei Yu Dao Ren saw the Emperor Spirit Sword, his eyes shone brightly. If he could obtain this treasure, his strength would increase significantly.
"Two hundred and eighty million."
Everyone present was curious whether Luo Chen would participate in the auction, but Luo Chen stood calmly in place.
The elegantly dressed youth glanced at Lei Yu Dao Ren, his face showing no fear.
"Three hundred and eighty million."
Upon hearing the young man's offer, Lei Yu Dao Ren couldn't help but gasp. How could he have encountered so many young men today?
Moreover, none of them were afraid of his name. Lei Yu Dao Ren breathed a sigh of relief and calmed his mind.
Regardless of whether he ultimately succeeds in acquiring the Emperor Spirit Sword, Daoist Lei Yu is prepared to use all his funds.
"Three hundred and fifty million."
The young man stared coldly at Daoist Lei Yu, and said with displeasure:
"Daoist Lei Yu, do you know Mu Bai?"
Luo Chen looked at the boy with some curiosity. He had never heard of these names before, and he had no idea why the boy had brought up this person's name.
However, upon hearing Mu Bai's name, Lei Yu Dao Ren's eyes were filled with fear, and he immediately bowed to the young man.
Not only Lei Yu Dao Ren, but everyone around also respectfully bowed to the young man.
Although Luo Chen didn't know who Mu Bai was, he could sense that Mu Bai was definitely a powerful figure.
It seems that Mu Bai and the boy have some connection, which is why he is so unscrupulous.
The young man ignored the fawning of Lei Yu Daoist and the others, and calmly announced his offer:
"Three hundred and sixty million."
Chapter 135 Competition
Mu Bai's reputation seemed to be more intimidating than Lei Yu Dao Ren's, and the two were not even on the same level.
Everyone around felt that the young man would buy the Emperor Spirit Sword for 360 million.
Although everyone knows that this price is quite cheap for the Emperor Spirit Sword, now that the young man has mentioned Mu Bai's name, who would dare to compete with him?
Even Tian Yue on the stage trembled slightly upon hearing Mu Bai's name.
Originally, it was thought that this final piece, the Emperor Spirit Sword, could fetch a price of over a billion or even several billion, but unexpectedly, the appearance of this young man kept the price below four hundred million.
This guess was far off, but now that no one was bidding anymore, it seemed that the Emperor Spirit Sword would go to this young man who was related to Mu Bai.
Tianyue showed no excitement on her face, but still went through the ceremony symbolically.
"One last time, is there any way to raise the price for this Emperor Spirit Sword?"
The people around them looked at each other, all of them coveting the Emperor Spirit Sword, but for now they could only suppress their desires.
Looking at the silent scene, Luo Chen in the top-tier room realized that no one dared to bid further. It seemed it was time for him to make his move.
"Five hundred million."
Upon hearing Luo Chen's offer, everyone around turned their surprised gazes toward him.
Surprisingly, the boy's mention of Mu Bai's name didn't frighten Luo Chen. It seems that this boy's background is not much worse than Mu Bai's.
Only this explanation can confirm why Luo Chen was not afraid of Lei Yu Dao Ren and the young man.
Not only were the crowd shocked by Luo Chen's words, but even the ordinary-looking young man was shocked by Luo Chen.
"Brother, please give me some face and let's be friends. I am Mu Bai's only son, and my name is Mu Fei."
Only then did everyone realize that the boy was indeed Mu Bai's son, Mu Fei. Fortunately, they hadn't clashed with him, otherwise they would have certainly died a very tragic death.
