Qingya's expression changed abruptly at those words, and she immediately rose to her feet. "Esteemed guests, please wait a moment."
As soon as she finished speaking, she hurried out of the private room.
As a gold-tier auctioneer, she knew better than anyone how much trouble a problem with an auction item could bring to the auction house.
Especially since this Ice Jade Empress Scorpion Spirit Bone was so precious. Anyone capable of buying it would hardly be an ordinary figure.
If anything truly went wrong, the Starlight Auction House would be dragged into enormous trouble as well.
Less than a minute later, Xu Jiujiu's voice sounded from the large screen once more.
"Due to the extraordinary value of this auction item, the auction house has decided to extend the viewing period by another ten minutes."
"So that all esteemed guests may consider their decision carefully."
Meng Hongchen pursed her lips and leaned closer to Xu Tianming, asking softly, "Tianming, is there really something wrong with this Spirit Bone, or are you just trying to drive down the price?"
"Drive down the price?"
Xu Tianming could not help rolling his eyes.
"Would people from the Sun Moon Empire really need to resort to such lowly tactics?"
Meng Hongchen choked at that, then nodded somewhat sheepishly.
Thanks to the increased productivity brought about by the development of Soul Tools, the Sun Moon Empire's wealth surpassed that of the Three Douluo Kingdoms combined.
Even setting aside the nation's wealth, their team had brought over a hundred million in funds with them this time.
There was indeed no need for such a clumsy lie, one that would be exposed the moment someone tested it.
"Tsk. I never expected student Xu Tianming to possess an Ultimate Ice Martial Soul. That really is enviable."
