The major factions hesitated once they saw someone from an Earth-class private room make a move.
The Thunder God Pearl was certainly good—a damaged immortal artifact, after all—but its rare lightning attribute meant that only lightning-attribute cultivators could activate it. This greatly limited its usefulness. For most factions, there were not many occasions where they could use it after buying it, unless their clan had a lightning-attribute genius.
Moreover, the occupant of the Earth-class private room had raised the bid by three hundred million spirit stones at once, clearly displaying an air of determination. If the price rose too high, the item would no longer be worth it.
After realizing this, many factions stopped bidding outright. Most of them had clear targets in mind; the Thunder God Pearl was the sort of thing that would be nice to have, but not something they desperately needed.
"Three billion three hundred million!"
Suddenly, a bid appeared outside the wall of Heaven-class Private Room Six, drawing cries of surprise from the crowd.
Lin Chuan paused his hand just as he was about to raise the bid, his gaze falling on Heaven-class Private Room Six. There were many cultivators inside, but they were easy to identify: every one of their robes bore the emblem of the Central River Imperial Family. Lin Chuan also spotted Zhongchuan Jin among them. Needless to say, this private room belonged to the Central River Imperial Family.
"Since the Central River Imperial Family has stepped in, let them fight it out a little longer," Lin Chuan said, stopping his movements.
"Three billion five hundred million!" Qin Ming directly raised the bid by two hundred million spirit stones this time.
The involvement of someone from a Heaven-class private room put considerable pressure on them, but it was still within their means.
