“Ten thousand Azure Origin Pills!”
Ye Chu stood up at this moment and shouted personally. His voice was not loud, yet it made the surroundings tremble. Everyone looked at Ye Chu strangely, thinking this fellow’s brain must have short-circuited. The first bid was ten thousand Azure Origin Pills!
Ten thousand Azure Origin Pills was enough to exchange for a fairly decent Sun-Moon artefact. Was it worth it for this inexplicable jade?
Nuo Ran was also slightly stunned. They had studied this piece of jade for a long time. In the end, her seniors had said it was an ordinary piece of jade with nothing special about it.
It was precisely because of this that she had taken it out for auction. She hoped to sell it by relying on the name of the ruins. But she had not expected that the youth who had brought her surprise would open his mouth with over ten thousand pills.
Nuo Ran felt suspicious in her heart and glanced at the jade. She wondered if they had all failed to see its true nature. Was this item actually a rare treasure? However, Nuo Ran immediately laughed it off. Even if it were a rare treasure, so what? They were powerless to study it. Holding it in their hands would be useless. It was better to exchange it for some cultivation resources.
Ten thousand Azure Origin Pills shocked everyone. No one made a bid. Nuo Ran thought this piece of jade would go to Ye Chu, but a voice suddenly rang out from Box Number Two: “Fifteen thousand Azure Origin Pills!”
“Boom…”
Everyone felt as if their heads had exploded. They thought they had seen a ghost. Could this piece of jade actually be a treasure? Someone was actually fighting for it, and the price increase was five thousand pills at once. It was clear they were determined to win.
“Eh!” Nuo Ran looked at Box Number Three in surprise, suddenly feeling that the item in her hand was truly not simple. Throughout the entire evening, the person in Box Number Two had not made a single move. Now, with one move, it was such a grand gesture. Had he come tonight specifically for this jade?
Ye Chu’s pupils also contracted sharply. His gaze stared fixedly in that direction. Anyone who could offer such a price must also have some understanding of it.
“Thirty thousand!” Ye Chu had Yang Hui make the bid. A clear and melodious voice rang out, making people jump up suddenly and stare at Yang Hui with wide eyes.
What is called wealthy, what is called arrogant, what is called a wastrel!
This was it. Doubling the price in one go. This was not thirty thousand taels of silver. These were thirty thousand Azure Origin Pills! This sum of wealth could establish a powerful dynasty in a more remote place!
Yet such a sum of wealth was lightly called out from those tender lips. Which great clan’s disciple was this youth? Only, this was truly too pretentious. Bringing three stunningly beautiful women to squeeze in with ordinary cultivators. This was deliberately making people jealous. With such wealth, finding a box to sit in would be effortless.
However, the shock in their hearts was not yet over when a voice rang out once again: “Fifty thousand!”
Everyone felt their brains were insufficient. They stared blankly at the person in Box Number Two.
Ye Chu stared in that direction. His gaze turned to Yang Hui. Seeing Yang Hui whisper in Ye Chu’s ear: “Young Master plundered the imperial treasury. The remaining Azure Origin Pills are less than eighty thousand. However, other various treasures can probably be exchanged for about one hundred and forty to fifty thousand pills.”
Hearing Yang Hui say this, Ye Chu nodded, indicating for Yang Hui to continue. Seeing Ye Chu’s calm expression, Yang Hui opened her mouth and shouted: “One hundred thousand!”
Ye Chu’s legs trembled beneath him. He nearly fell to the ground. His gaze looked at the delicate figure standing there quietly. Looking at Yang Hui’s charming and alluring face, Ye Chu’s heart was crying.
He had told Yang Hui to raise the bid, but only wanted her to add about ten thousand or so. He had not expected Yang Hui to misunderstand. She resolutely carried out his policy of bidding to scare the opponent, the more wasteful the better.
“Young Master, is there a problem?” Yang Hui looked at the cold sweat on Ye Chu’s forehead. She gently wiped it for him. Her red lips parted, their lustre enticing, her charm not much less than Nuo Ran’s.
“No! No problem!” Ye Chu’s heart was bleeding as he spoke to Yang Hui.
Yang Hui broke into a smile: “I understand the Young Master’s meaning. The Young Master said that to be a dedicated wastrel is the only way to scare the opponent. I wonder if this is enough.”
“Mmm!” Ye Chu nodded very seriously. His gaze turned to Box Number Two, hoping the other party would continue bidding. One hundred thousand! This was a huge fortune. If Ye Chu truly won this piece of jade, he would be completely broke.
On the Road of Heavenly Pride, without Azure Origin Pills, one would truly be unable to move an inch.
The bid of one hundred thousand pills left everyone shocked in place. Even Nuo Ran had not expected it to fetch such a high price. Her gaze could not help but turn to Box Number Two.
The few people in Box Number Two were also stunned. They had not expected Ye Chu could quote such a high price.
“Young Master! Perhaps we should give up. One hundred thousand Azure Origin Pills is too high a value. It could buy a rare Sun-Moon artefact. Although the Young Master’s status is noble, resources are also limited.” An old man in the box looked at the youth in the centre and said.
The youth in the centre had a tall and straight figure. On his forehead was a tulip imprint. He stared fixedly at the jade on the high platform, shook his head and sighed: “Uncle Liu does not understand. This item is not simple! It cannot fall into the hands of others!”
“Not simple? In what way is it not simple?” The old man’s eyes were full of confusion. He could not see where it was not simple.
The youth said: “I once secretly read a secret technique in my eldest brother’s study that was taken from the family. I saw the patterns on the jade. It is one of the family’s most precious unique texts. The things recorded on it are all heaven-defying level.”
Hearing these words, several old men voluntarily shut their mouths. Although the youth had broken the rules by secretly reading the family’s unique texts, they dared not speak of his affairs.
“This piece of jade definitely holds a great secret. Although I do not know what secret it is. But if we obtain it and bring it back to the family, it will surely allow the family to research something. I roughly know it is related to the Divine Palace.” The youth said.
This sentence caused the expressions of several old men to change. Their expressions grew grave. Anything related to the Divine Palace was definitely not simple.
“Only, the other party’s posture is one of determination to win. Is this price worth it? Otherwise, after leaving the auction house…” Several people beside the youth made a throat-slitting gesture.
“The other party can recognise the value of this object. They are definitely no ordinary person. Once it is in their hands, I fear it will be difficult to seize.” The youth shook his head. “If it truly is related to the Divine Palace, even one million Azure Origin Pills would be worth it.”
After the youth finished speaking, he let out a light breath and said: “Bid one more time. If the other party still insists, then we can only…”
Several old men then nodded, watching the youth call out the astronomical price of one hundred and fifty thousand.
This shocking astronomical price left the auction house in complete silence. Everyone looked at that unremarkable piece of jade in horror. But very quickly, everyone’s gazes could not help but turn to Ye Chu.
“Young Master, we…” As Yang Hui spoke, her small hand prepared to raise. Ye Chu watched this scene and nearly collapsed from fright. He quickly grabbed Yang Hui’s hand.
“Good heavens, if you call out again and shout three hundred thousand, then we really will be giving our flesh to others. Damn, how did I never see before that Yang Hui has even greater potential to be a wastrel?”
