The One Thing Our Four Great Merchant Associations Never Lack Is Immortal Crystals
Su Chen's voice wasn't very loud, but it immediately attracted the attention of countless people, each looking at Su Chen with a mixture of surprise and uncertainty.
"Who is this person? They actually added 150 million top-grade Immortal Crystal in one go. Why have I never seen this person before?"
"Wow, this is even more wealthy than the Four Great Merchant Associations!"
A collective gasp filled the air. Although Su Chen had never seen him before, and his aura Cultivation Level seemed quite low, this was, after all, Auction hosted by the Imperial Family. Who would dare to cause trouble here?
Unless you're suicidal.
President Liu Heng squinted at Su Chen. This was the kid who came with Yang Xizhi. Five hundred million top-grade Immortal Crystal was already quite a lot, almost reaching the highest price. According to their estimate, the highest price for top- top-grade Immortal Crystal in Sanyang Street was around six hundred million, or even seven hundred million, which was the limit of the price they could afford.
If it's any higher, then it's not worth it.
President Wangyue sneered, "President Yang, you'd better think this through. If the people you brought can't afford the bid, then you'll be responsible."
"You dare to mock the Imperial Family; you should understand the consequences."
Clearly, in their view, Su Chen absolutely did not have 500 million top-grade Immortal Crystal; even if he sold the entire An Yun Merchant Association, it would not be worth that many Immortal Crystal.
President Liu Heng also laughed and said, "President Yang, that's not right of you. Saving face is important, but you should also consider the consequences. It's completely unnecessary to risk your life for such a small matter."
"Take it back quickly before Lord Wang makes a decision."
On the auction stage, the man also looked at Yang Xizhi with a cold expression.
Yang Xizhi swallowed hard, his heart filled with panic. If Su Chen bid and then gave them the Immortal Crystal, then there would be no problem. But if he didn't give them the Immortal Crystal, then they would all die.
This is the consequence of mocking the Imperial Family.
"Holy crap, this kid isn't really out of Immortal Crystal and just spouting nonsense, is he?"
"This is no joke. Playing tricks on the Imperial Family is a matter of life and death. Does this kid really have that much guts? Or is it all orchestrated by the An Yun Merchant Association? But Yang Xizhi shouldn't be this stupid."
"Could this kid be mistaking top-grade Immortal Crystal for low-grade Immortal Crystal?"
The sarcastic remarks continued to rise. Everyone was well aware of the An Yun Merchant Association Chamber of Commerce's current strength; they certainly couldn't afford 500 million top-grade Immortal Crystal.
Yang Xizhi was also undecided, so he could only turn his head to look at Su Chen.
Su Chen ignored him completely and threw five Space Rings at the auctioneer, each containing one hundred million top-grade Immortal Crystal.
The Middle-aged Man took the Space Ring, his eyes narrowed instantly, and after giving Su Chen a deep look, he said loudly:
"An Yun Merchant Association: 500 million top-grade Immortal Crystal!"
"Is there an even higher price?"
Although no one could see clearly what was inside the Space Ring, they could guess from his expression that it was most likely filled with Immortal Crystal.
President Liu Heng's expression was somewhat solemn.
Damn it!
How could he possibly have 500 million top-grade Immortal Crystal?
Although this was not yet their limit, Su Chen's relaxed demeanor clearly indicated that he still had confidence. Originally, he could have obtained Sanyang Street by spending only about 500 million top-grade Immortal Crystal.
This means we'll spend even more.
But soon, President Liu Heng regained his usual composure.
With the Four Great Merchant Associations of commerce joining forces, he refused to believe that Su Chen, a kid who appeared out of nowhere, could compete with them for Sanyang Street.
In their view, Su Chen was probably the savior Yang Xizhi had requested.
The price Yang Xizhi could pay could never exceed 500 million top-grade Immortal Crystal.
President Liu Heng took a deep breath, then said again, "Five hundred and fifty million top-grade Immortal Crystal!"
Hiss!
Another 50 million top-grade Immortal Crystal added—is this what the Four Great Merchant Associations are all about?
Many people gasped when they heard President Liu Heng's bid, and at that price, there was practically no one left to compete.
This has exceeded their limits.
After the bidding ended, President Wangyue glanced at Su Chen with disdain and said indifferently, "Boy, you're no match for the financial resources of our Four Great Merchant Associations. We lack everything except Immortal Crystal. Trying to snatch things from us is overestimating your abilities."
President Wangyue's tone was full of disdain. In his eyes, Su Chen might indeed have some background, but the Four Great Merchant Associations were not to be trifled with either.
Moreover, those who run Trade Association usually have more Immortal Crystal than ordinary forces, so he didn't believe that Su Chen had as many Immortal Crystal as they did.
Su Chen glanced at him casually.
"What a coincidence, I don't lack Immortal Crystal either."
"Seven hundred million top-grade Immortal Crystal!"
As soon as the words fell, the entire auction hall fell silent; everyone stared at Su Chen with disbelief.
What terrifying wealth!
One hundred and fifty million top-grade Immortal Crystal were added in one go?
Is your Immortal Crystal water?
Free of charge?
Countless questions flooded their minds, and everyone looked at Su Chen with solemn expressions. No one had any impression of this person at all, and they couldn't remember that there was such a person in the Imperial City.
To be able to produce 700 million top-grade Immortal Crystal at once, one must be a prominent figure in the Imperial City.
Having already acquired 500 million top-grade Immortal Crystal, the Immortal King presiding over the Auction no longer questioned Su Chen's strength. He directly announced loudly, "700 million top-grade Immortal Crystal!"
President Wangyue gritted his teeth and looked at Su Chen, his eyes filled with disbelief.
How could this kid possibly have so many Immortal Crystal!
Seven hundred million is already the maximum value of Sanyang Street; going any higher would be unprofitable.
The President of the Four Great Merchant Associations exchanged glances. Su Chen's purchase of Sanyang Street was definitely for the An Yun Merchant Association. Once the An Yun Merchant Association obtained it, it could turn the tide and might even become the fifth largest Trade Association.
This has a significant impact on their interests.
The group exchanged glances and finally decided to continue bidding; they simply didn't believe Su Chen really had an inexhaustible supply of Immortal Crystal.
"Seven hundred and fifty million!"
This time, another 50 million top-grade Immortal Crystal were added, and the atmosphere in the auction hall began to subtly change, with everyone watching with expectant eyes.
Su Chen glanced at President Wangyue casually, then said with a hint of disdain:
"You Four Great Merchant Associations don't seem to have much capability. Adding 50 million top-grade Immortal Crystal at once? That seems rather ordinary. I overestimated you."
"One billion top-grade Immortal Crystal!"
Su Chen spoke calmly, but his voice boomed like a heavy drumbeat in everyone's ears, and everyone looked at him with fear and disbelief.
One billion top-grade Immortal Crystal —this far exceeds the value of Sanyang Street itself.
The four President were also filled with disbelief. Could Su Chen really produce one billion top-grade Immortal Crystal in one go?
Although the Four Great Merchant Associations could also contribute, they had to Immortal Crystal— four people in total—and each person only received a quarter of what Sanyang Street received. This loss was simply too great.
Although a billion top-grade Immortal Crystal is a huge price to pay for the An Yun Merchant Association, it is highly unlikely that Sanyang Street will be able to recoup that money during the period of the Imperial Family protection.
However, Sanyang Street is of great significance, as it is a place that can enhance the influence of the Trade Association.
Hateful!
President Wangyue's eyes were practically spitting fire as she looked at Su Chen. Everything was going according to plan, but Su Chen's appearance had disrupted all their plans.
