"Amaterasu!"
As the four words fell, the audience below the stage burst forth like boiling water, and an invisible aura struggled free from everyone's body. The people in the front row all opened their eyes in unison, and this naturally included Qin Shi.
A rank seven martial art. This was a priceless item.
"It's finally here!"
Xiao Shan straightened his back and pursed his lips.
Amidst the seething crowd, Jiang Mengan waved her hand, and the auction platform slowly rose up, causing the entire arena to darken.
A pitch-black book floated out of it.
As soon as the book appeared, the crowd's eyes lit up. Nangong Yue Yang, Taishi Tinghua, Huangpu Jiang, and Li Bufan all became serious. Their goal this time was this Amaterasu.
The book was filled with pitch-black flames that flickered incessantly.
The evil spirits and malicious ghosts within the dark flames howled and howled as they stirred up the hurricanes.
Jiang Mengan couldn't help but take a few steps back. She quickly covered her mouth and nose and shouted, "Amaterasu, starting price of one million!"
"One million and five hundred thousand!"
"Two million!"
"Two million and three hundred thousand!"
"Two million and five hundred thousand!"
At the start, the people in the front row started bidding. This instantly killed the desire of the people in the back row. This was no longer an auction they could participate in.
Xiao Shan gritted his teeth and followed, "Three million!"
"Three million and five hundred thousand!" Taishi Tinghua.
Nangong Yue Yang, "Four million!"
Four million … Four million … Such a huge amount of wealth was more than enough to build a Green Lotus City.
"Five million!"
After a short silence, Li Bufan smirked and said leisurely, "Everyone, stop shouting. Before we came, Hall Master Hua Ling said that this rank seven martial art will be taken by the Mystical Palace. Anyone who dares to compete will be killed!"
Hearing this, the crowd went into an uproar. The people from the three clans were stunned. Nangong Yue Yang said angrily, "Elder Li, what do you mean?
Are you trying to scare us? "
"Hehe, I am. So what?"
Li Bufan stared at Nangong Yue Yang and scolded in a low voice.
Jiang Mengan stood on the auction stage and frowned, "Elder Li, what you're doing is breaking the rules. The Gateless Auction House has always been fair!"
"Oh, right, I forgot, this is the famous Doorless Auction House!"
Li Bufan smiled leisurely and said, "Hehe, let me give you a piece of advice. As the ancient saying goes, an ordinary man is innocent, but possessing a jade ring is a crime. Before you fight for it, think about whether you are worthy or not. Otherwise, you will suffer a double loss. Don't blame me for not warning you!"
"You …"
Jiang Mengan was so angry that her face turned red.
Before she could continue, Li Bufan raised his hand and interrupted her. Then, he looked around and said, "Alright. Don't disturb the auction. Let's continue. You guys just pretend to compete with each other. This can be considered as giving Boss Yuan face, right?"
Everyone was silent, and no one spoke.
Nangong Yue Yang and Taishi Ting Hua stared at each other. Huangpu Jiang's face flushed red as he clenched his fists so hard that cracking sounds could be heard. However, neither of them made a sound.
"Nonsense. Who would dare to bid after what he said?"
"Yeah. Our opponent is the Mystical Palace, the number one power in the eastern region. Even the three major powers are nothing in front of them."
While they were discussing, Xiao Shan clenched his fists angrily and said, "Damn it. What a disappointment. How can the Mystical Palace play like this?"
"6 million!"
Just when the crowd was feeling indignant, a contented voice floated over and reverberated, causing Li Bufan's smile to freeze.
What!
The crowd looked over and saw Qin Shi crossing his arms in front of his chest and his resolute face filled with ridicule.
"It's him?
It's that guy? "
"Is this guy crazy?"
"Who knows?
It's probably because of what happened with the Wordless Heavenly Book. But isn't he clearly going against the Mystical Palace by doing this?
Will he have a good ending if he does that? "
"I don't think so. Have you all forgotten that Boss Yuan stood up for him? Maybe he has a powerful background!"
The crowd was in a hubbub. Li Bufan's face turned livid. He abruptly stood up and stared at Qin Shi for a long time as if he wanted to eat Qin Shi alive. Finally, he nodded his head fiercely and said, "Fine, fine, fine. Good boy, 7 million!
Keep bidding if you have the guts! "
Qin Shi tilted his head and didn't hurry to bid. Instead, he smiled and said, "Elder Li, do you know?
What a coincidence. I'm different from you in every way. You're so cunning and treacherous, but I'm kind and pleasant. You're arrogant and complacent, but I'm humble and self-righteous. Even our appearances are the same. You're extremely ugly, but I'm as pretty as Pan An. But there's one thing about us, we're the same! "
"I just like to slap your face!"
After saying that, he said with a cold and stern face, "8 million!"
Shua!
An uproar.
The crowd was in an uproar again. Sitting beside Qin Shi, Xiao Shan felt cold sweat seeping out of his forehead. 8 million, it was 8 million!
This time, no one said that Qin Shi was courting death anymore. Even the people from the three major clans became serious.
What a joke! Taking out 8 million just to vent his anger?
Who could take it out just because he said so?
Moreover, Qin Shi remained calm from the beginning to the end, as if it wasn't 8 million but 8 RMB.
"9 million!"
"10 million!"
Qin Shi stroked his mouth and followed with his legs crossed.
But this time, Li Bufan couldn't stand up calmly. 10 million, 10 million.
He clenched his fists tightly and stared at Qin Shi. If he could, he would have already pounced on Qin Shi and torn him into pieces.
He never expected that after suppressing the three major clans, he would eventually lose to Qin Shi. 10 million was the estimate given to him by the Mystical Palace. If he increased it further, he would have to pay out of his own pocket.
He originally thought that he could earn some extra money, but in the end, he lost it instead.
"11 million!"
In desperation, he had no choice but to open his mouth. Hua Ling had asked him to retrieve the rank seven martial art, otherwise, he would be in trouble.
11 million?
Hearing this, Qin Shi couldn't help but frown. He originally thought that 10 million was enough to suppress the Mystical Palace, but it seemed that he had underestimated the overlord of the eastern region.
He shrugged his shoulders. 11 million had already exceeded his budget. Moreover, he didn't intend to bid for this rank seven martial art. Wouldn't it be better to just take it without spending a single cent after it was over?
It was just that he hated it and wanted to make Li Bufan vomit more blood.
"Why don't you follow me?" Li Bufan provoked, trying to look impressive.
"Elder Li, I admit defeat. This martial art belongs to you, hahaha!" Qin Shi shook his head, bowed his head and laughed sarcastically. He didn't avoid it at all.
Dong!
The hammer fell three times, and the biggest gimmick of this auction was finally over. Li Bufan had won the Charm Spirit Amaterasu for a huge sum of 11 million spirit stones.
However, after sitting down, he didn't feel happy at all. Instead, he looked extremely embarrassed, and his red eyes stared at Qin Shi.
Qin Shi looked at him and couldn't help but feel proud. Hehe, hate me, you must hate me. Otherwise, I'm afraid that you'll run away when we get out. That saves me the trouble of looking for you!
In the midst of the uproar, Jiang Mengan's cherry lips opened and closed to break the noise. "Next, it's the last item of this auction. I'm sure everyone has heard of it. It's the number one courtesan of our Green Lotus House, the Masked Fairy!"
"Oh!"
The name of the Masked Fairy caused a lot of noise, and it was even more exciting than the Charm Spirit Amaterasu.
For the people in the back row, even if they couldn't get it, they could at least feast their eyes. Many people stayed until the end just to see the Masked Fairy.
In the front row, Qin Shi, who always had a smile on his face, became serious at this moment, and an irrepressible spiritual power spread around him.
Xiao Shan was stunned, and he couldn't help but shiver when he looked at Qin Shi.
At this moment, he felt a kind of fear from the bottom of his heart from Qin Shi.
"Now, let's invite her to the stage!"
The lights on the roof of the auction house suddenly flickered, and the whole place fell into a pitch-black abyss. In the abyss, a holy light, as if symbolizing the hope of a beautiful flower, spread out in the middle of the auction stage, warm and gentle.
Under the soft light, pink flower petals danced in the air without any wind. A delicate and pretty girl with half her face covered descended from the sky, and her waterfall-like skirt tugged at the heartstrings of everyone.
"Qiao 'er!"
Qin Shi's black eyes narrowed. At the moment when he looked into the girl's beautiful eyes, even though he couldn't see her face clearly, he was sure that this was his sister, Xu Qiaoer.
Under Xu Qiaoer's beautiful eyes, a trace of gentle sorrow was self-evident.
Jiang Mengan gently went forward to support Xu Qiaoer, and then said to the people below the stage, "I won't introduce the Masked Fairy too much. The starting price is 10,000 spiritual stones!"
"20,000!"
"25,000!"
"50,000!"
"100,000!"
The price soared instantly. Xu Qiaoer was beautiful, but she wasn't a heavenly treasure after all. When it reached 100,000, the price began to slow down. Obviously, to the people present, a woman was worth tens of thousands of spiritual stones, but it wasn't worth it to spend more than 100,000. It was a feast for the eyes.
"200,000!"
When no one was bidding, Li Bufan stared at Xu Qiaoer with a greedy smile. His shifty eyes seemed to want to strip Xu Qiaoer naked.
"Sooner or later, I'll dig your eyes out!"
Staring at Li Bufan, Qin Shi cursed in his heart. When he heard the low bids, he clenched his fists so hard that they creaked. "How can ants like you touch my sister's value?
She's an existence that you can't compare to! "
"1,000,000!"
The first bid was 1,000,000.
The audience was stunned. Li Bufan's expression of enjoyment was once again interrupted. He turned around and stared at Qin Shi in disbelief. "Kid, are you deliberately going against me?"
"2,000,000!"
Unexpectedly, before Li Bufan could make a bid, Qin Shi actually raised the price by himself.
Hearing the voice below, Xu Qiaoer trembled on the auction stage. She couldn't help but reveal a surprised expression. She opened her cherry lips and said, "Is it Brother?"
Jiang Mengan couldn't help but tremble when she heard the voice. A look of realization appeared on her pretty face.
"You …" Li Bufan was stunned.
"3,000,000!"
Without giving him a chance, Qin Shi raised the price again. Then, he stood up like a madman and looked around proudly. He roared, "4,000,000!
5,000,000!
6,000,000!
7,000,000!
8,000,000!
9,000,000!
10,000,000!
Is anyone going to follow? "
10,000,000?
The audience was dead silent.
"Is he crazy?
10,000,000 for a woman? "
"He must be crazy!"
Silence. Xiao Shan, Feng Hen, and Xiao Tianyue who knew Qin Shi widened their eyes and stared at Qin Shi. They were all dumbfounded. Xiao Tianyue couldn't help but curse, "Damn, isn't money money money?
Even if you have money, you shouldn't squander it like this, right?
10,000,000 is enough for me to buy the entire brothel street! "
Li Bufan was completely dumbfounded. Even he couldn't afford 10,000,000 now.
Moreover, if he could afford it, he wouldn't spend 10,000,000 for a woman. For this reason, he looked at Qin Shi with a strange and dazed gaze. In the end, he said sarcastically, "Alright, kid, you're ruthless enough!"
Ignoring Li Bufan, Qin Shi raised his head and said to Jiang Mengan, "Miss Jiang, do you think we can knock the hammer now?"
"Ah?"
Jiang Mengan shivered in panic. Then, she nodded and waved her hands. When she raised the golden hammer, she felt helpless. "Is there a need to knock it?
Who can take out 10,000,000 to compete? "
She pretended to be calm and followed the procedure. The second time, the third time … But just when the third hammer was about to fall, a voice suddenly came from the back, shocking the audience. "Wait!
11,000,000! "
"11,000,000?"
The audience looked back at the back row in shock.
What's going on today?
11,000,000?
Are they crazy?
