In the vast auction hall, countless fervent gazes fell upon Xu Songming like spotlights, or more precisely, upon the ten Spirit Stone that were currently suspended in front of him.
As we all know, all Spirit Coin on the continent ultimately originate from Spirit Stone. Therefore, the value of Spirit Stone is often higher than that of Spirit Coin, just like the situation that is currently unfolding at the auction.
Xiao Yan did offer 20 million Spirit Coin, which seems like a lot, but in reality, almost everyone would choose ten Spirit Stone over 20 million Spirit Coin.
The value of Spirit Stone is incomparable to that of Spirit Coin.
This is why Xu Songming is showing such an arrogant expression at this moment.
Spirit Coin are utterly worthless when placed in front of Spirit Stone.
Feeling the intense gazes directed at him from everyone present, Xu Songming slowly smiled. Under his deliberate control, the ten Spirit Stone resembled trophies surrounding Xu Songming, making him appear like a champion under the spotlight, a dazzling star.
"Senior, can you bring the hammer now?"
Xu Songming curled his lips into a mocking sneer, shifting his gaze to the old man on the auction stage below, completely ignoring Xiao Yan opposite him. It was as if the battle had already ended with the Spirit Stone in his hand, and at this moment, he was merely waiting for the settlement.
"Sir, why are you in such a hurry? That person hasn't said that's all yet."
The old man smiled faintly. From Xiao Yan's calm expression, he could tell that the latter's heart was not affected in the slightest.
"Haha, you're just a Half-Emperor. Even if you can come up with 20 million Spirit Coin, that should be your limit! Leaving aside how many Spirit Coin you have left, just in terms of Spirit Stone, if you can produce one more than me, I'll gladly give you this Fire Plume Flower, along with these ten Spirit Stone!"
Xu Songming sneered disdainfully. As for Spirit Coin, perhaps this black-robed man in front of him still had some, but when it came to Spirit Stone, even the ten Spirit Stone in his hand were hard-earned. How could he possibly believe that this black-robed man in front of him would have Spirit Stone?
These words caused an uproar among the crowd. Everyone regretted not having eleven Spirit Stone, otherwise they would have definitely taken the Spirit Stone from Xu Songming's hands!
Xiao Yan raised an eyebrow, a strange expression on his face. He stared at Xu Songming opposite him, as if he were looking at a fool.
"Hmph, since you don't have it, then sit down obediently. The Fire Plume Flower, I'm determined to have it!"
Xu Songming's face revealed a fierce look. Having suffered the previous two blows, this time, he was finally able to avenge the pain Xiao Yan had caused him.
"Heh, who told you I can't produce Spirit Stone? Are Spirit Stone your exclusive property?"
However, Xiao Yan immediately followed with a cold smile, a smile tinged with mockery.
"Forehead..."
Upon hearing this, Xu Songming's expression faltered slightly, and then a strong sense of unease quickly rose from the depths of Xu Songming heart.
"Could it be... that he really has Spirit Stone?!"
Xu Songming felt a slight pang in his heart. He simply couldn't believe that this man in black robes could actually possess Spirit Stone!
You must know that all the hard work he has accumulated over the years has amounted to only a hundred Spirit Stone. And this time, he has already given up one-tenth of his Spirit Stone for the Fire Plume Flower. How could this Half-Emperor in front of him possibly have Spirit Stone?
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Xiao Yan's smile grew even colder. He hadn't expected Xu Songming to say such a thing; it was practically a gift to him!
"Heh, who doesn't have a Spirit Stone?"
Xiao Yan chuckled softly, and then, with a thought, the void in front of him suddenly distorted. After a flash of light, a pure white energy crystal appeared before Xiao Yan.
This is Spirit Stone!
However, upon Xu Songming this scene, the worry on Xu Songming's face vanished instantly, replaced by a sinister sneer.
"Hahahaha! So, you only have one Spirit Stone after all. With that, you think you can get the Fire Plume Flower...?"
But before Xu Songming's laughter could even finish, the void in front of Xiao Yan twisted again, and another Spirit Stone appeared, followed by yet another...
When Xiao Yan finally stopped, there were exactly eleven Spirit Stone Spirit Stone in the air in front of Xiao Yan, one more than Xu Songming had taken out.
"This... this is impossible!"
Xu Songming looked incredulous. He really couldn't believe that Xiao Yan could actually produce eleven Spirit Stone!
Enraged, Xu Songming waved his sleeve without hesitation, and ten more Spirit Stone appeared in the void in front of Xu Songming.
"So what if you have eleven Spirit Stone! I don't believe you can have that many. In the end, I'll still be the winner!"
At this moment, Xu Songming looked ferocious, completely forgetting what he had just said and paying no heed.
"My friend, as you just said, if this gentleman can produce eleven Spirit Stone, then you will give him the Fire Plume Flower, and at the same time, you will also give him these ten Spirit Stone."
However, at this moment, the old man on the auction platform below suddenly spoke, and an invisible pressure emanated from him, suppressing Xu Songming who was disregarding everything else.
"Snort..."
Under the pressure of this oppressive aura, Xu Songming couldn't help but let out a muffled groan, but then he gritted his teeth and fixed his gaze on the old man on the auction stage.
"Senior, this is a matter between him and me. It seems inappropriate for you to interfere!"
When he said this, Xu Songming's aura noticeably diminished, not for any other reason than that the old man standing on the auction stage was indeed terrifyingly powerful.
"I shouldn't interfere in your affairs, but this is the territory of the Spatial Auction, and I have the right to manage anything that happens here. Since you've already said those words, you should abide by them now. Otherwise, I will, in the name of the Spatial Auction, permanently expel you from here, and you will never be allowed to participate in the Void Auction again!"
The old man's words caused Xu Songming's expression to change drastically. He never expected this guy to suddenly appear out of nowhere. Not only would he not get the Fire Plume Flower, but he would also have to give away the Spirit Stone stones he had painstakingly accumulated. What's worse, this guy was someone he wanted to grind to dust. Just thinking about it made Xu Songming's heart burn with rage!
