Just now, Yun Ji said that eight million was the highest price in three months. Now, 20 million would be the highest price this year.
Increasing the price by 10 million at once was a rare occurrence in recent years …
It was just a drop of Origin Blood Essence, not the Beast King's Origin Blood Essence. Also, there was no telling if there were any problems or side effects.
Twenty million Xuan Crystals!
One attempt at the Fate Wheel Realm would only cost three million Xuan Crystals, which was enough for six attempts.
Lu Li wondered how many Mystical Materials and pellets that could be bought. If he could give the Xu Family 20 million Xuan Crystals, the Xu Family could give him a Third-rank Island.
All for one drop of Origin Blood Essence.
The most important thing was Lu Li's tone. He called out Bai Xiashuang's name directly in an unfriendly tone. Clearly, he was provoking Bai Xiashuang and humiliating her!
Yun Ji had been calling the guest in private room No. 1. How could she not know it was Bai Xiashuang?
There must be a reason why she didn't call out Bai Xiashuang's name. In case something uncontrollable happened, Bai Xiashuang would have a way out.
Now that Lu Li called out Bai Xiashuang's name directly, he was not giving her a way out.
Either she continued to increase the price or she would be humiliated by Lu Li.
"Plop!"
Patriarch Lu fell to the ground. He was so scared that he didn't know what to do.
Hunchback Tian's eyes showed a trace of helplessness. Isn't this master too crazy?
"Wait —"
Many people came to their senses. Not everyone could afford 20 million Xuan Crystals. Was Lu Li sure he had 20 million Xuan Crystals?
The curtain of private room No. 1 was lifted up, revealing an extremely beautiful face. Bai Xiashuang stared at Lu Li's eyes under the Ghost Mask. She sneered and said, "It really is you!"
"Um?"
Lu Li's heart skipped a beat. Just now, he was flustered and exasperated so he didn't disguise his real voice. He shouted out directly and Bai Xiashuang recognized his identity.
Bai Xiashuang looked to the middle-aged man in the first row and said, "Chief Steward Du, why don't you send someone to check?
Can anyone shout 20 million? "
The middle-aged man smiled and waved his hand. Zhan Yang walked over to Lu Li and said in a low voice, "Young Master Lu, are you sure you have 20 million Xuan Crystals?"
"Yes!" Lu Li said in a low voice while clenching his teeth, "But I cannot take it out here."
"Alright, please follow me."
The steward led Lu Li to a corridor. Many people were curious about what Lu Li had to offer.
Twenty million as collateral?
Lord Du seemed to be interested as well. He got up and walked towards the corridor. He followed Lu Li and Zhan Yang into a side chamber.
When Zhan Yang saw Lord Du, he quickly bowed and introduced, "Young Master Lu, this is the manager of our auction house, Manager Du."
Lu Li nodded, cupped his fists and said, "Lord Du."
"Little Brother Lu, you've broadened my horizons today."
Lord Du was an elegant man. Lu Li could not sense his qi and energy, so he must be at least at the Fate Wheel Realm. Lord Du said with a smile, "No matter what happens today, I will make friends with you."
"Thank you, Lord Du."
Lu Li cupped his fists again. Then the ring on his hand lit up and he took out a jade box and said, "This is a Heaven Serpent Fruit. It should be enough to pawn the 20 million Xuan Crystals, right?"
"Heaven Serpent Fruit?"
Lord Du's eyes flashed. He was very clear about the Heaven Serpent Fruit.
One Heaven Serpent Fruit represented a warrior of the Fate Wheel Realm. Basically, it was priceless. It was rare even at the Central Plains, let alone at the Northern Desert.
Zhan Yang didn't dare to take it over. Lord Du took the jade box in person. As soon as he opened it, a fragrance came out.
Lord Du closed the jade box at once, handed it to Lu Li and said, "Young Master Lu, you really are generous. I will make the decision to help you get to 50 million Xuan Crystals.
Plus the Interspatial Ring, you can make any offer below 60 million. "
"Okay!"
Lu Li walked out in strides. Lord Du put on a smile and followed Lu Li out. Zhan Yang walked out quickly with excitement on his face.
Lu Li went back to his seat. It was dead silent. Lord Du walked to the auction stage in person. He cupped his fists towards private room No. 1 and said, "Lady Shuang, I just went to confirm it in person.
This honorable guest has the ability to make such an offer. I swear by the reputation of the Heaven Punishing Auction House. So … the offer is valid. "
"What ~"
The whole place was boiling. Patriarch Lu had just stood up when he sat back down. He was so nervous that he was trembling.
Yun Ji blushed. Her eyes were glowing. She was so beautiful. She didn't say anything. She let the others calm down first.
Noises came from many private rooms up there. Psychic power came down more frequently. All of them were aiming at Lu Li.
It was a pity that Lu Li was wearing a mysterious mask. Nobody could see through him.
Private room No. 1 was silent. After a while, the noises died down. Yun Ji raised her hand to calm them down. She said with a smile, "Okay, everyone, please be quiet. Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night. It will be recorded in the history of the Heaven Punishing Auction House.
Twenty million. Is there a higher offer? "
Many people looked at private room No. 1. It was silent. After a while, an old voice came out, "The Bai Family gives up this auction."
Everyone nodded. A patriarch of the Bai Family came out to stop Bai Xiashuang's nonsense.
The Origin Blood Essence was not worth the price. What if Lu Li suddenly stopped bidding?
"Bang, bang, bang!"
From the private room came a muffled sound of footsteps. The footsteps came down. Then a beautiful figure appeared at the end of the corridor.
Bai Xiashuang glared at Lu Li and left.
"You bitch. You made me lose more than 10 million. Don't let me get it or I will teach you a lesson."
Lu Li glared at Bai Xiashuang. He knew that after tonight, he would offend Bai Xiashuang completely. But for that drop of Origin Blood Essence, Lu Li thought it was worth it.
"Twenty million going thrice. Okay, this drop of Origin Blood Essence belongs to this honorable guest."
The Origin Blood Essence was finally sold. Lu Li took a deep breath. Many people were smiling. They felt this was a worthwhile night.
The last item was brought up. It was a Xuan Artifact of the Sixth Rank of the Heaven Grade. It was a valuable piece and the finale.
However, after the fight between Lu Li and Bai Xiashuang, this Xuan Artifact seemed to be overshadowed. The final price was only eight million. It was bought by a young master of a big family.
Tonight's auction came to an end. Lu Li was invited to a side chamber by Zhan Yang early in the morning.
Lord Du came in soon with the bottle of Origin Blood Essence in his hand.
Lord Du said with a smile, "Young Master Lu, this is the Origin Blood Essence you got. How are you going to pay for it?"
How could Lu Li pay?
How could he have so many Xuan Crystals?
He had to hand over the Heaven Serpent Fruit and said, "Lord Du, how about this?
I will give this to you as collateral. If I cannot get enough Xuan Crystals in half a year, you can auction off the Heaven Serpent Fruit and deduct the 20 million. "
"No problem!"
Chief Steward Du agreed readily. He also gave Lu Li the Xuan Crystals he got from selling the Fire Fairy Lucid Ganoderma and the Netherworld Roots.
Lu Li politely refused Chief Steward Du's invitation after he signed the contract. He asked Zhan Yang to change his robe and take off the Ghost Mask. Then he quietly left the Heaven Punishing Auction House.
As soon as he walked out of the auction house, Lu Li forced a smile.
