Everyone present recognized Jiu Bailu.
The City Lord's Manor and those merchant guilds had also given Jiu Bailu golden tokens before; her talent and reputation throughout the Chaos Realm were worthy of such recognition.
However, the Jiu Bailu did not collect it.
However, they really couldn't understand why Jiu Bailu, who had never used lightning attributes before and whose companions hadn't either, would be vying for the Nine-Cord Thunderclap Chain. Could it be that she had a grudge against the Shuozhou Academy?
When they saw the bewildered expressions on the faces of the people from the Shuozhou Academy, they were also stunned.
Why?
The only people who knew the truth were Jiu Xuan, Chaotic Spirit Academy... and Mo Xing.
"Looks like she's already taken." Mo Xing helplessly.
Mo Ling understood immediately and smiled, "I remember you wanted to pursue Jiu Bailu, right? Knowing your personality, you wouldn't give up so easily, would you?"
Mo Xing shrugged and said, "Giving up is definitely not an option, but changing the mind of this kind of woman is probably as difficult as climbing to heaven... but I just like things that are more challenging."
Mo Ling: "..."
Some people are just so despicable.
What is easily obtained is often not cherished, nor is it something we think about.
However, those who keep pursuing what is hard to obtain will only end up hurt.
However, Mo Ling still had confidence in Mo Xing, after all, he was one of the top talents in the Mo Clan.
After Jiu Bailu quoted a price.
The old man smiled and said, "Two hundred and forty thousand coins at a time!"
The people from the Shuozhou Academy looked extremely grim, and were about to grit their teeth and continue bidding.
Then they heard a woman's voice coming from a room above, but it was clearly being masked.
Two hundred and fifty thousand!
Everyone else was taken aback and looked towards that room.
No one knows who is in this room, since no one has ever been seen going in.
Jiu Bailu glanced at the room indifferently, then turned back to look ahead and continued, "Two hundred and sixty thousand."
Before anyone else could speak, the voice continued from inside the room, "Two hundred and seventy thousand."
Jiu Bailu continued to bid, "Two hundred and eighty thousand."
Holy shit!
The Grand Elder of the Shuozhou Academy, who had been raising his hand repeatedly only to have to lower it again, almost coughed up blood upon hearing this.
No, are you guys on steroids?
Even if it's useful to you, this price already exceeds its original value!
The bidding process has not yet stopped.
The voices inside the room became noticeably more urgent. "Three hundred thousand."
It seems they've gotten into a competition with the Jiu Bailu!
Upon hearing this, Jiu Bailu hesitated for a moment before replying, "Three hundred and one thousand."
The people from the Nine Dragons Divine Dynasty standing nearby exchanged bewildered glances... Weren't they supposed to be here to compete for that divine artifact? This has already used up more than half of their budget!
The others looked at Jiu Xuan, and said worriedly, "Crown Prince... this..."
Jiu Xuan waved his hand, his eyes lifeless, and said, "Don't ask me, I can't persuade a woman in love."
Others: "..."
Inside the room.
Lu Changsheng looked helplessly at Mo Yu, whose face was full of anxiety, and said, "Don't you only have 200,000 Flawless Primordial Stone? Can you afford to pay 310,000 when the price goes up?"
Mo Yu said urgently, "Anyway, Mo Ling and the others are right there. We can just go ask them for it! Three hundred and twenty thousand!"
This was meant for her senior brother!
And the fact that they were competing with her like that immediately stirred up the little girl side of Mo Yu.
However, they did not tell Mu Fusheng and the others that they had arrived.
The processed sound was undetectable, and naturally, Mu Fusheng couldn't recognize it either.
Below.
Jiu Bailu also said calmly, "Three hundred and thirty thousand."
Jiu Xuan wailed and covered his face, thinking he'd just befriended a future brother-in-law and a bunch of monsters.
The person involved Mu Fusheng, was also a bit dumbfounded. He then transmitted his voice to Jiu Bailu and said, "Forget it, it's unnecessary. This thing isn't worth the price."
Jiu Bailu replied calmly, "Would it be of any use to you?"
Mu Fusheng was taken aback. "Yes... I guess so."
"Then it's worth it."
The old man was overjoyed.
The original estimate was a maximum of 200,000, but it has already been raised to 330,000.
"Three hundred and thirty thousand per time!"
Mo Yu was about to raise his hand to make another bid when someone knocked on the door and said, "Sir, the total value of the Flawless Primordial Stone you initially quoted was 200,000. According to the standard of the VIP room, we could give you an advance of 100,000. Now that it has exceeded that, we need to verify it before we can continue to bid."
Mo Yu was about to say something when Lu Changsheng stopped her.
"Alright, there's no need to argue anymore. If you're really interested, see if there are any others later."
Mo Yu sighed in grievance and then gave up.
The old man on stage shouted, "Three hundred and thirty thousand, the third time!"
Without hesitation, he brought down the small wooden mallet.
The crisp sound of the striking chain signified that the Nine-Cord Thunderclap Chain now belonged to the Jiu Bailu.
Jiu Bailu glanced at Mu Fusheng, then slightly raised her snow-white chin, like a proud little swan.
Mu Fusheng gave a helpless wry smile, but could only nod at her.
Xiao Heishi and Fang Qiong stared at Mu Fusheng with extremely ambiguous eyes.
Unable to bear being stared at any longer, Mu Fusheng said, "It's not what you think... really!"
The three men, Xiao Hei and his companion, remained silent, their expressions unchanged.
It's come to this.
Do you think we believe you?
Seeing this, Mu Fusheng simply gave up.
Although the Nine-Cord Thunderclap Chain is not as rare and powerful as the first item, it is still an auction held by all the merchant guilds of the Heavenly Mystery Continent, so the competing items are naturally not bad.
Each and every one of these items is something that would normally be priceless and unavailable elsewhere.
This also sparked a fierce competition among various forces.
What a coincidence!
There's another item that Shuozhou Academy has its eye on.
As a result, Holy Light Academy raised the price again.
Then it was bought by Mo Yu for 90,000 Flawless Primordial Stone. It was a pair of lightning attribute shoes at the Peak Ancestor Realm. Not only could it increase speed, but it could also release lightning impact. When using leg techniques to attack, it could release lightning impact to accelerate speed and increase power!
The entire staff of the Shuozhou Academy turned pale.
What did they do to deserve this?
It feels like everyone at this auction is targeting us.
We haven't usually made enemies with these forces!
If they knew the inside story—that it was all because of Mu Fusheng —they'd probably vomit blood...
For the next four days, Mo Yu, Mu Fusheng, and Jiu Bailu did not make any moves.
Aside from a Demigod- level artifact in the middle, it didn't attract the attention of Mu Fusheng and the others, as it was of no use to them.
Until the very last day, the final item will be up for auction.
Everyone stared wide-eyed at the stage.
The stone pillars on the platform had been removed, and in their place appeared a huge glass coffin before everyone's eyes, although the contents inside were obscured and could not be seen.
The old man smiled and said, "I presume you have all come here for it."
Then, they lifted it up, revealing one of the enormous skeletons!
" Ancestral Dragon Bone, starting price 0, minimum increment 50,000 Flawless Primordial Stone!"
