“Heh, looks like you’re in trouble.” Hongyue curled her lips. She had also detected the trace of Spiritual Sense earlier. 𝒃𝒆𝙣𝒐𝒗𝙚𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝒎
Yun Lintian closed the door and activated the isolation formation before asking. “Did this person see through my disguise?”
“Unfortunately, no,” Hongyue said somewhat regretfully, causing Yun Lintian’s face to twitch slightly. “However, this person definitely has something special. I can’t judge it from here.”
“Something special?” Yun Lintian frowned slightly. Judging from how secretive this person’s method was, it was understandable why Hongyue said this.
“Why don’t you go over and say hello so I can see this person clearly?” Hongyue suggested.
Yun Lintian’s face darkened. Who the hell would do that?
At this moment, Wu Xue announced. “All the twenty items had been passed. We will now enter the second stage of the auction. The following items will be unprecedented artifacts that we cannot identify. Please make consideration before bidding.”
Wu Xue waved her hand, and the beautiful maid quickly walked onto the stage with an emerald brocade box. She carefully placed it on top of the table and opened it gently. Immediately, a palm-sized yellow crystal ball appeared before everyone’s eyes. There was nothing special on this yellow crystal ball, but those with sharp Spiritual Senses could perceive a faint earth element emitting from it.
Wu Xue glanced at the audience and introduced the item. “I believe someone has already perceived it. This yellow crystal ball possesses a trace of earth element. Because of this, we have decided to name it Earth Core.”
“Two years ago, our experts found this Earth Core under the ancient ruins on the Western Continent. Later, we discovered this Earth Core can continuously produce the earth element as long as you place it on the ground. We believe there are other secrets within this Earth Core, but our experts’ ability is limited. We cannot figure it out and decided to put it on the auction in case someone could unravel the secret.”
Listening to this point, the audience began to discuss in a low voice. This Earth Core was definitely a good item for practitioners that were proficient in the earth attribute. At the same time, it was completely useless for others. Hence, not many people were interested in this.
“You must get it at all costs!” Hongyue’s voice resounded in Yun Lintian’s mind after seeing the Earth Core.
Yun Lintian could feel a trace of excitement in her voice, making him confused slightly. With Hongyue’s experience, how could she become excited by a mere earth element crystal ball?
“Why?” Yun Lintian asked. Not only him that was curious but also everyone in the living room.
“Wait until you get it. I can only say that you’re really lucky.” Hongyue decided to play a suspension tactic, arousing everyone’s curiosity further.
Yun Lintian didn’t ask further and waited for Wu Xue to announce the price.
Hearing people discussing, Wu Xue smiled and said. “The starting price is two hundred thousand high-grade Profound Stones. Everyone can place your bid now.”
The audience in the first and second zone immediately quieted down. The price was too high for them. Thus, there was no point in continuing their talk.
“Earth Core?” Du Huanfeng stared at the Earth Core as though he wanted to see the secret within it.
Du San also checked on the Earth Core, but he didn’t find anything special aside from a portion of earth elements.
“Do you want to bid for it, Young Master?” Du San asked.
Du Huanfeng thought for a moment and said. “Let’s see others first. Since you and I can’t see anything in it. I don’t think there’s anyone who can.”
As soon as Wu Xue’s voice fell, Pei Xiewen didn’t hesitate to place his bid. “Five hundred thousand.”
“One million.” Yun Lintian quickly followed.
An uproar could be heard when they heard Yun Lintian’s bid. They all remembered this person had just bought the Floating Metal at a high price, and now he directly raised the price to one million. Did he have a profound stone mine in his home?… Apparently, they didn’t know that Yun Lintian indeed had one in his home.
“Again?” Du Huanfeng had a weird expression. His curiosity toward this person grew further.
“Do you want me to contact him later?” Du San asked.
Du Huanfeng shook his head. “Let’s wait until he survived from Pei Xiewen’s hand.”
Du San nodded and said nothing more.
Meanwhile, Pei Xiewen’s face turned cold. From Bi You’s investigation earlier, the person in that room was a middle-aged man at the Earth Profound Realm. How could he dare to go against him?
“Continue?” Bi You glanced at Pei Xiewen. Her face seemed to be devoid of emotion.
Pei Xiewen didn’t reply to her but shouted directly. “Two million.”
Of course, Pei Xiewen’s bid caused another uproar among the audience. They subconsciously looked at Yun Lintian’s room, waiting to see a good show.
“Four million.” Yun Lintian didn’t want to waste time and directly added another two million.
“Five million.” Pei Xiewen continued.
“Eight million.” Yun Lintian followed.
Pei Xiewen’s face turned gloomy. He took a deep breath and called. “Ten million.”
“Fifteen million.” Yun Lintian added instantly, without thinking.
“Hoo!” The audience took a deep breath. They didn’t know how to describe their current feelings. This was like a war between billionaires, slamming money at each other’s faces.
The smile on Wu Xue’s face grew wider. It was completely unexpected to get this price. She looked at Pei Xiewen’s room and said. “Fifteen million once.”
Pei Xiewen was so furious at this moment. He felt as though he was being challenged by a mere ant, but he could not fight back. This feeling was extremely annoying.
,m Bi You still had no reaction on her face. It was as if Pei Xiewen’s matter had nothing to do with her.
Wu Xue waited for a full minute and believed Pei Xiewen had no intention of bidding further. She directly announced. “Congratulations to the esteemed guest in room number twenty. We will send the Earth Core to you in a while.”
Yun Lintian glanced in Pei Xiewen’s direction and said to Hongyue. “I spent so much on this. You better tell me now. What’s the use of this Earth Core?”
