The moment the one-million-Seven-Star-Soul-Jade starting price was announced, someone quickly made an offer.
"I'll bid three million Seven-Star Soul Jades."
"Five million Seven-Star Soul Jades."
For these powerhouses, even a hundred million Seven-Star Soul Jades probably meant nothing, let alone a few million.
Soon, the powerhouses began bidding, all hoping to get lucky and take the puppet home.
Even if the puppet proved useless, losing those Seven-Star Soul Jades would mean little to them.
But if they struck it rich, wouldn't they be set for life?
Plenty of powerhouses had lost money buying treasures of unknown origins, but others had made a fortune from them.
Everyone thought alike: they wanted to try their luck, and each believed they were lucky.
The price soon passed thirty million Seven-Star Soul Jades, and fewer people continued bidding.
"Brother Bi, the price has passed thirty million Seven-Star Soul Jades. It's too expensive. Let's not take the risk," Hua Yunfeng said.
Bi Fan stared at the puppet as if trying to see through it, but he couldn't. Even some much more powerful experts couldn't tell what the puppet was.
"I'll bid fifty million Seven-Star Soul Jades."
Once the fifty-million price was called, many people stopped bidding.
"Fifty million Seven-Star Soul Jades. Anyone else?"
For a treasure like this, fetching fifty million was already quite a feat.
If the puppet hadn't been incredibly sturdy, no one would have offered such a high price.
Bi Fan took a look around, then called out a bid of sixty million Seven-Star Soul Jades.
"Brother Bi, it's not worth it. Don't bid any higher," Hua Yunfeng urged.
Bi Fan smiled without answering. Hua Yunfeng looked at him in surprise and asked, "Brother Bi, can you tell what this treasure is?"
"No." Bi Fan shook his head.
