Add One More Spirit Gem

“Seems like there won’t be that many people bidding this time.” Ling Xiao said, opening his half-closed eyes and sweeping his sharp gaze over the people in the box.

“Why won’t there be many?” You XiaoMo asked in surprise. He had thought there would be a lot of people bidding for this, if the hungry wolf-like gazes that the majority were directing at the Heavenly Cauldron were any indication.

Ling Xiao said mildly, “Look at this situation. That Hu Feng and Tang Hao definitely came for that Heavenly Cauldron. The people here all seem to know that they’re from a large power in the Southern Continent. The prestige and influence the forces of the Southern Continent possessed wasn’t anything to scoff at and their financial power was far greater than those of Bei Dong. If they can’t be beaten, then why compete at the risk of angering them?”

That was very true.

You XiaoMo glanced around the box. Though the people inside were looking at the Heavenly Cauldron with visible desire, their gazes also held a touch of defeat. Seems like they had long since decided to give up.

Seeing everyone’s covetous gazes, Yue QianShan looked up at the boxes above. He could feel several intense gazes coming from the boxes. A bloody battle was soon to come. He nodded in satisfaction and said, smiling, “The Heavenly Cauldron starts from five hundred thousand spirit gems, please, begin.”

“Five hundred thousand spirit gems?”

The hopeful powers that heard this number were all shocked to the point of barely being able to breathe.

The powers of BeiDong were truly lacking in financial power. Some groups didn’t even have five hundred thousand spirit gems when including their assets. Even if they did, they wouldn’t have anything more than a million spirit gems, so this starting price had already eliminated them.

However, the Heavenly Cauldron was truly worth the price, or rather, this price was actually lower than the market price.

It should be known that to mages, any cauldron that ranked in the top ten would be priceless.

That the Cang Alliance would auction off the Heavenly Cauldron was truly something unexpected. The other forces that resided in far off places naturally wouldn’t expect this, so when Hu Feng and the others heard of the news, they had come over immediately.

Hearing this price, Hu Feng and Tang Hao’s expressions didn’t waver at all.

This wasn’t the first time they had attended an auction of one of the ranked cauldrons. They had been present for the auctioning of the fifth ranked cauldron, the Thunder God’s Cauldron. Back then, the Thunder Cauldron’s starting price was over five times the starting price of the Heavenly Cauldron, and the price had increased over tenfold over the progression of the auction, so five hundred thousand really didn’t mean anything.

“A million spirit gems.” After a while of silence, Tang Hao was the first to bid a price, and added five hundred thousand spirit gems all at once. The entire room quietened.

Many of the groups had their passion extinguished in that instant. As expected from someone from the Southern Continent. He let his wealth speak for him, and they wouldn’t even be able to catch up to that on horses.

Hu Feng glanced at Tang Hao who was sitting in the next box over, coldly harrumphing. He didn’t blink as he said, “One million and five hundred thousand spirit gems.”

He had also added a full five hundred thousand spirit gems. As expected, only these two would be left to compete.

The groups in the other boxes all sighed in awe.
