As expected!
The smile on Yun Ji's face froze after Lu Li made his offer. The man sitting in the corner of the first row looked unfriendly. As for the Chief Steward Zhan Yang who was in charge of maintaining order, his expression was even darker.
I gave him face, but he didn't want it!
If it were not for the fact that Lu Li had sold some elixirs at the auction house, Zhan Yang would have asked someone to take Lu Li down.
He suppressed his anger, walked towards Lu Li quickly and said in a cold voice, "Young Master Lu, please show us some respect, okay?"
He emphasized the last two words to express Zhan Yang's anger. But Lu Li said nothing.
He quietly put down his hand, took off the ring on his finger and handed it over secretly. He said, "Is this worth three million Xuan Crystals?"
Zhan Yang was surprised. He took over the ring and used his Xuan Energy. Then he nodded and said, "Yes, it is worth 10 million."
Lu Li took over the ring and said, "Then I will use this as a guarantee. If I don't have Xuan Crystals, I will sell it to you. How about it?"
"Sure!"
Zhan Yang looked better. He walked to the front and whispered something to the middle-aged man in the first row. The middle-aged man immediately made a gesture to Yun Ji.
Yun Ji was speechless. She said after a pause, "That guest just took out a valuable treasure.
We have appraised it. His item is worth three million. So, the offer is valid! "
"Um …"
Many people were confused. They had thought that Lu Li, the idiot, would be carried out. Unexpectedly, the tables were turned. Lu Li had a treasure worth three million Xuan Crystals?
However …
If he had a treasure, why didn't he take it out?
Could it be that he was just making a random offer?
Was he trying to provoke Bai Xiashuang and now he really wanted to buy something?
Many people started to think about it. Could it be that this drop of Origin Blood Essence was really a rare treasure?
Or was there something wrong with Lu Li's mind?
Yun Ji paused for a bit and said, "Three million. Is there a higher offer?
If not, the Origin Blood Essence will belong to that distinguished guest. "
"Three and a half million!"
The young man who made an offer in the private room just now spoke again. Clearly, he was interested in the Origin Blood Essence.
Lu Li didn't hesitate. He had made up his mind to get this drop of blood at all costs. So, he directly made an offer, "Five million!"
"Hiss, hiss ~"
Many people gasped. Lu Li had raised the price by 1.5 million again. This was already an unbelievable price.
Was it worth it for a drop of Origin Blood Essence of unknown grade and unknown effects?
The people in the private rooms above were silent, and so was Yun Ji. Yun Ji got a hint that Lu Li could offer five million Xuan Crystals.
After waiting for several breaths of time, there was still no movement from the pavilion above. It was as if the pavilion had decided that it wasn't worth it and was about to give up.
Lu Li exhaled. As long as he could get the essence blood, he would be willing to sell his Interspatial Ring.
He did not have much of a concept about Mystic Crystals. He could give up everything for the Origin Blood Essence.
Patriarch Lu was scared out of his wits. At first, he didn't expect it to be Lu Li. Now that he took a closer look, he realized that this man was wearing the same robe as Lu Li. The more he looked at him, the more he looked like Lu Li.
The key was the Black Iron Ring on Lu Li's hand. He was 100% sure that it was Lu Li.
How could Lu Li have five million Xuan Crystals?
Why did Lu Li buy the Origin Blood Essence?
Elder Lu didn't know. He looked at Hunchback Tian, but Hunchback Tian said coldly, "Don't ask. Don't worry. We will leave after the auction."
"Five million!"
Yun Ji's pleasant voice came out, "This is the highest price we can get today. Is there anyone who wants to go higher?
Five million once, five million twice, five million … "
"Five million and one hundred thousand."
Right at that moment, a clear and cold female voice came out. Many people looked towards the source of the voice in surprise. Immediately, a mocking expression appeared on their faces.
There was going to be a good show today. Bai Xiashuang made a bid.
Bai Xiashuang only raised the price by 100,000 Xuan Crystals. Her intention was clear. She was here to raise the price on purpose to annoy Lu Li and make him bleed.
Just now, Lu Li provoked her and slapped her in the face. As one of the two most dazzling pearls of the Thousand-island Lake, she wouldn't be Bai Xiashuang if she didn't fight back.
"Damn it!"
Lu Li was angry but there was nothing he could do. The name of Bai Xiashuang was worth god knows how many Xuan Crystals. Nobody could stop her if she wanted to make a bid.
Lu Li forced himself to calm down. He could not get angry and go against Bai Xiashuang. Otherwise, the price would be raised to more than 10 million.
He kept silent for a while. When Yun Ji was about to say something, he said, "Five million and two hundred thousand."
Bai Xiashuang raised the price by 100,000 Xuan Crystals and so did he!
Anyway, it was only 100,000 Xuan Crystals. This way, Bai Xiashuang wouldn't fight back. Maybe she would give up when the price reached a certain point.
However …
Bai Xiashuang's next bid made Lu Li furious. Bai Xiashuang shouted, "Eight million!"
"Crazy woman, this crazy woman. If I can get my hands on her, I will teach her a lesson."
Lu Li clenched his teeth. Still, he didn't raise the price. He lowered his head. He seemed to be in a dilemma as if he couldn't afford another bid.
Many people stared at him and some psychic power scanned over him. Lu Li had aroused everyone's curiosity.
If Lu Li could raise the price, then his identity would raise suspicion. After all, only a Fourth-rank force could afford eight million Xuan Crystals.
"Okay, private room No. 1 has made an offer of eight million Xuan Crystals. This is the highest price in three months. Anyone else?
Eight million going once, eight million going twice … "
Yun Ji's pleasant voice came. Lu Li finally looked up. He made up his mind and said, "Wait, I will raise the price by 100,000."
"What ~"
Everyone was boiling with excitement. Even the private rooms were in an uproar.
There was going to be a good show tonight. Someone could compete with a young lady of the Bai Family. After tonight, the news would be spread across the entire Thousand-island Lake.
Lu Li seemed to be in a dilemma. This seemed to be the highest price he could offer.
Many people turned to private room No. 1. Lu Li made up his mind and shouted again, "If Lady Bai wants to make another bid, I will have to give up …"
Lu Li's meaning was clear. If Bai Xiashuang wanted to make another bid, then she would buy the Origin Blood Essence.
Bai Xiashuang would be scolded for buying an Origin Blood Essence of an unknown rank with more than eight million Xuan Crystals.
Bai Xiashuang seemed to be in a dilemma as well. After a long time of silence, Lu Li's heart was in his throat. He was even short of breaths.
Yun Ji asked again after a while. She was ready to make the final bid if nobody else raised the price.
When Yun Ji said it three times, three words came from private room No. 1, "Ten million!"
"Sh * t, sh * t, sh * t!"
Lu Li stood up abruptly. He could no longer hide his anger. Bai Xiashuang had crossed the line. She was trying to kill him.
At that moment, he couldn't care less. He was so furious that he shouted, "Twenty million. Bai Xiashuang, if you have the guts, make another bid."
