“Everyone, it’s the time that you’ve all been waiting for. Please take a close look at this item.”
The host’s voice had been a bit dull even if he tried to present a lot of energy during the last two items.
But that couldn’t be blamed on him since it had been hard on him during those last two items. With the way that Ye Qing Huan had acted, it was certainly hard on the host who would receive the most blame for this.
Now that there was an actual good item that would sell well, there was no doubt that he could make up for his earlier mistakes.
That was why the host’s voice was filled with energy now.
After saying this, the host moved over to the pedestal that had been brought out and lifted the sheet that was covering the item that was on it.
The moment that sheet was pulled off, the waves of spiritual energy came from the item that was under the sheet. The waves of spiritual energy that was released by this item immediately attracted the attention of everyone that was in the crowd.
They immediately fell silent as they stared at the uncovered item in a daze.
That was because this item really was something special.
What was lying under the cloth was a long piece of bone. It looked to be the rib bone of some kind of animal.
However, the fact that it was releasing this kind of spiritual energy meant that it was anything but special. This was the kind of spiritual energy that was only released by very precious items that were filled with spiritual energy.
It was clear to everyone that this was a very rare and precious item.
Seeing the way that the crowd fell silent, the host had a satisfied look on his face.
This was the result that he wanted to see since this was the best way for him to build up hype for this next item.
He deliberately paused for a bit as if he was giving everyone time to admire this item.
After giving them some time to admire it, the host finally said, “As everyone can see, the next item that we have is the bone of a spirit beast. However, this isn’t just any kind of bone, this is a very special bone.”
With a snap of his finger, there was an image that appeared in the air in front of him, which was also right in front of the pedestal with the bone on it.
This illusion wasn’t that well made, but it was more than enough to show what kind of spirit beast this bone came from.
A dragon…no, it was some kind of giant lizard.
“This is the rib bone from a Golden Core Realm Flood Dragon that was killed recently. I’m sure that everyone has heard the stories of that Golden Core Realm Flood Dragon…Well, our auction hall pulled many strings to get the bone from that flood dragon!”
Then with a wave of his hand that was clearly for flourish, the host said, “This is our next item which can only be found in our black market auction hall! Everyone, please don’t miss out on the chance to own this precious item!”
The way that the host introduced the item and then added all that flourish onto it, it was clear that he was very skilled at his job.
There were many excited looks that appeared on the faces of the crowd that were sitting under the stage.
At the same time, Lin Fan could feel spiritual energy fluctuations coming from the VIP rooms near theirs.
This was the first time that he felt these fluctuations, but it was clear that they were interested in this flood dragon bone.
Now it was all about who would have the most money.
But that wasn’t what surprised Lin Fan the most.
What surprised Lin Fan the most was the dispirited way that Ye Qing Huan laid in his arms.
She had seemed excited about this item at first, but now she looked like she didn’t care at all. She looked like she had less excitement than when the other items that were much worse than this one came out.
It was as if she had no interest in this item at all.
But in his eyes, this one was the one that was the most worth bidding on.
Still, since she wasn’t interested…there was nothing that he could do about this.
Once the host had finished introducing the item, it was time for the bids to start.
The starting bid for this flood dragon bone was one thousand spirit stones.
This alone was enough to eliminate a lot of people, but there were still plenty of people left in contention for this flood dragon bone. Naturally that included the people that were in the VIP rooms.
Though the people in the VIP rooms didn’t bid from the start.
The starting bids all came from the crowd that was on the main floor.
The minimum increase was a hundred spirit stones, so the price slowly crept up until it reached three thousand spirit stones at which point people started to slow down with the bids. It seemed that many people weren’t willing to spend that much for this flood dragon bone.
Though there were also plenty of people that were looking up at the VIP rooms the entire time.
They had felt the spiritual energy fluctuations coming from up here, so they knew that the VIP guests were interested. Though the room that they stared at the most was Lin Fan and Ye Qing Huan’s room.
It seemed like they were afraid that the person who caused trouble before would cause trouble once more.
However, what they couldn’t see was Ye Qing Huan’s disinterested look.
She clearly didn’t want this flood dragon bone.
So there was nothing for them to be worried about in the first place.
“Six thousand.”
A calm voice broke the tense atmosphere of the auction hall.
The moment that this voice rang out, everyone looked up at the VIP rooms with looks like they had already been expecting this. However, there was a trace of surprise in their eyes since they didn’t expect this voice to be different.
It came from a completely different VIP room than the one from before.
It seemed like the other VIPs were also moving.
But before the host could take this bid…
“Six thousand and one hundred.”
It came from another one of the VIP rooms.
There was a tense silence that hung in the air as the host didn’t dare accept this bid right away. He just waited to see how the two VIPs would settle this matter.
As expected, the one that made the first bid didn’t take this lying down and made another bid.
“Seven thousand.”
“Seven thousand and one hundred.”
But the other VIP guest didn’t seem to back down on this matter.
It was almost as if they were slapping the one that made a bid first in the face.
Of course, the one that bid first wouldn’t just take this lying down and they roared out, “Ten thousand!”
This was a fight between those that had money and prestige, there was no respect between them at all. It was almost as if they were just slugging at each other without a single care.
That was quite the fight to watch.
But Lin Fan just looked down at the flood dragon bone with a regretful look.
If possible, he would have wanted to take this thing back with him since there were many things that he could have done with such a large bone.
Seeing this, Ye Qing Huan said, “Do you want it?”
Lin Fan was completely caught off guard hearing this and he didn’t know how to react.
When he came back to his senses, he quickly shook his head to show that he didn’t want this, but it didn’t seem like Ye Qing Huan cared about that anymore as she was already looking down at the flood dragon bone on stage.
At this point, the price had already reached ten thousand spirit stones.
It wasn’t a price that Lin Fan couldn’t pay, but he didn’t feel that this was a price that this flood dragon bone was worth. It seemed like the price of the flood dragon bone was inflated because of the fighting between the two VIP guests.
With how they kept pushing, it seemed like the fight was getting quite heated.
If Ye Qing Huan were to get involved at this time…
“Twenty thousand.”
It was too late for Lin Fan to stop her as she directly doubled the bid.
There was only silence that followed as the two VIP guests stopped fighting.
Though it wasn’t as if everyone was shocked by this.
Down below, the host and the staff members all had excited looks.
They had suffered losses earlier because of this one VIP guest who kept bidding for these small items, but this one big bid was already enough to make up for the losses that had been caused.
After a moment of silence, the one who bid first asked, “This friend, I really need the flood dragon bone. If you’re willing to concede this to me, I guarantee that I’ll repay you in the future.”
There was a snort before…
“Who even are you?”
There was no respect given at all to the other VIP guest.
Ye Qing Huan really was someone from the Heavenly Demon Sect, the way that she acted was filled with arrogance and pride.
