Ten million Spirit Coin!
As soon as Xiao Yan Xiao Yan speaking, everyone in the arena immediately focused their attention on him. Their eyes were filled with shock, and everyone's face was blank with disbelief. Who could have imagined that this mysterious man in black robes would make such a grand move so easily? At this moment, even the Huo Clan and Bai Clan families on the high platform couldn't help but turn their gazes over.
The two members of the Huo Clan frowned and stared at Xiao Yan, who was confronting Xu Songming in the arena. A look of surprise flashed across their eyes. Ten million Spirit Coin —if it were them, it wouldn't be impossible to come up with, but it would still be a heavy blow, making the subsequent auction troublesome.
On the other side, the Bai Clan father and son were also staring intently at Xiao Yan in the arena. Bai Zhan's face showed the same expression as the others, but Bai Ying's face involuntarily showed a hint of worry. Although he did not intend to auction the Fire Plume Flower, the person in front of him gave him a strange feeling, a feeling that was like...
Like someone, someone who left a deep impression on him.
"I'll offer eleven million Spirit Coin!"
It wasn't until much later, when even the old man on the auction stage was about to speak, that the Lin Clan patriarch finally spoke, his face grim and his voice particularly low, as if it were being forced out between his teeth.
"Twelve million."
Xiao Yan remained expressionless, staring intently at Xu Songming opposite him with a cold and indifferent gaze, devoid of any emotion, and even harboring a hint of sneer.
Seemingly sensing this, Xu Songming couldn't help but shudder.
As Third-Tier Alchemist, Xu Songming's sensitivity far surpasses that of ordinary Dou Di experts, and even the two from the two major families cannot compare to him.
In the vast auction hall, everyone's eyes kept scanning back and forth between Xiao Yan and Lin Zehong. So far, the situation in the hall was still under the control of the two of them, but in comparison, most people still favored Xiao Yan because he was too calm.
Xiao Yan remained as calm as a stone pillar, unmoved by wind or lightning. No matter how angry Xu Songming glared at him, Xiao Yan remained unmoved.
At this moment, Lin Zehong's face was also gloomy. He had long expected that in order to please Xu Songming, his Lin Clan would have to pay a considerable price this time. He just didn't expect this man in black robes to be so calm and composed.
The latter's composure only made Lin Zehong more uneasy. Although he kept reminding himself, once one's mind is disturbed, it is not something that can be calmed down so easily.
"I'll offer thirteen million Spirit Coin!"
Lin Zehong gritted his teeth, becoming increasingly nervous. Thirteen million Spirit Coin was a considerable sum for the Lin Clan, and if they were to actually pay it out, it would inevitably affect the Lin Clan's foundation in Xuan City.
Fourteen million.
Xiao Yan remained calm, his tone even and indifferent. He immediately followed Lin Zehong's words the moment Lin Zehong spoke, seemingly not intending to give the latter a chance to catch his breath.
Upon hearing Xiao Yan's words again, Lin Zehong's body froze instantly. His pupils contracted slightly, and a bead of cold sweat slowly slid down his forehead, indicating the inner struggle he was going through.
Raising the price would be a matter of the Lin Clan's very foundation; not raising the price would affect the relationship between the Lin Clan and Xu Songming, which in turn would indirectly affect the Lin Clan's future. Both of these factors are extremely important to the Lin Clan now, and losing either one would impact the Lin Clan's future prospects.
"Damn it! It's all because of you! If it weren't for you, this Fire Plume Flower would belong to my Lin Clan!"
Staring intently at Xiao Yan, Lin Zehong felt a surge of anger rising within him. He struggled internally for a moment before finally speaking again.
"I'll offer one million... fifteen million."
Lin Zehong spoke in a deep voice, his words low and almost like a growl.
"Twenty million Spirit Coin!"
This time, Xiao Yan directly raised the bid by five million, causing Lin Zehong's body to tremble violently. Everyone in the room also turned their attention to Xiao Yan in an instant, their mouths agape, their faces showing a look of utter astonishment.
At this moment, Xiao Yan looked like a madman in their eyes, a madman without any scruples. Even if he didn't lack Spirit Coin, he shouldn't be spending money like this!
That's a whopping twenty million Spirit Coin!
On the auction stage, the old man looked at Xiao Yan with a smile. He recognized him as the man in black robes who had won the first item. Judging from his calm and composed demeanor, the twenty million Spirit Coin seemed to be of no concern to him at all.
With this in mind, the old man's gaze towards Xiao Yan held a hint of curiosity.
You have to understand, that's twenty million Spirit Coin. Even he would have to think carefully before taking out those Spirit Coin.
"Who is this guy? I don't recall ever hearing of someone like him before."
The old man frowned inwardly, making wild guesses about Xiao Yan's identity. As for the Four Great Sects, he had put them aside from the beginning because he had already seen through Xiao Yan's strength from the start.
He didn't think that a Half-Emperor could be someone from all Four Great Sects. After all, the true geniuses within the Four Great Sects had already reached the level of Dou Di.
And it was at this moment that the situation at the auction finally changed.
"I am willing to offer ten Low-Grade Spirit Stone to bid for this Fire Plume Flower."
Standing opposite Xiao Yan, Xu Songming Xiao Yan intently at him, a cold smile, mockery, and disdain welling up in his old eyes.
"What good are all those Spirit Coin? Compared to Spirit Stone stones, Spirit Coin are nothing!"
Xu Songming thought disdainfully to himself. At the same time, he stretched out his palm, exposing it to the air. With a thought, a burst of light flashed, and then ten energy crystals, as smooth and white as mutton fat jade, appeared above Xu Songming's outstretched palm, hovering quietly.
These ten snow-white energy crystals are actually ten Spirit Stone!
"Whoosh!"
This scene shocked everyone present once again. They never expected that a mere Fire Plume Flower would cause such a stir, with not only a price of 20 million Spirit Coin being offered, but also Spirit Stone!
