According to common sense, a seventh-rank family shouldn't compete with the royal family.
After all, the Royal Family was resourceful. What was more, if the Royal Family bore a grudge and played some tricks, the seventh rank family would be in serious trouble.
However!
The Bi Family increased the price by 10 million Xuan Crystals, "510 million!"
Lu Li frowned. He wondered if the Bi Family was instructed by someone else. Otherwise, they wouldn't have the courage to offend the Ye Family.
"What ~"
It was noisy at the south as well. The patriarch of the Gu Family listened for a while and said to Lu Li, "Someone said … the Bi Family Patriarch is poisoned. He is the only warrior of the Earth Immortal Realm in the Bi Family, so …"
Lu Li frowned. He listened to the noise at the south. Sure enough, people were talking.
Lu Li heard that the Bi Family Patriarch was poisoned. The Bi Family was going to offer all they had and borrow some Xuan Crystals to buy the Bodhi Fruit.
It was easy to understand. A seventh rank family might have some Human Sovereign Realm warriors but not many Earth Immortal Realm warriors. If there were three Earth Immortal Realm warriors, then it would be an eighth rank family.
Earth Immortal Realm warriors were important to the Bi Family. It was normal that the Bi Family would risk everything to get the Bodhi Fruit at the cost of offending the Ye Family. There was no conspiracy.
Of course …
What if the information was fake?
What if Ji Mengtian and Lu Suan released it to confuse others?
What if the Bi Family was a pawn of Ji Mengtian and Lu Suan?
Soon, Ye Yu said in a gentle voice, "700 million!"
Every time, Ye Yu would increase the price by 100 million to show her determination. She wanted the Bi Family to give up.
Lu Li was grateful. He and Ye Luo were just friends. Lu Li was regarded as an enemy by the four families. Even the Pavilion of Delicacy refused to do business with him.
Lu Li didn't give Ye Luo a single Xuan Crystal. Now, Ye Luo had offered 700 million Purple Xuan Crystals. What if Lu Li couldn't afford it?
What if Lu Li was killed after he took the Bodhi Fruit?
Soon, another voice came from the Bi Family, "10 million more!"
Everyone quieted down. There was no more discussion or exclamation. The atmosphere was suffocating.
The 16 Fairy Mushrooms were only sold for one billion Purple Xuan Crystals. Now, one Bodhi Fruit was worth 700 million.
If it was a battle between two royal families, it would be understandable. But now, it was the Bi Clan challenging the Ye Clan. Many people were worried that the Ye Clan would fly into a rage.
"One billion!"
As expected, a male voice with a hint of anger rang out. Ye Luo had raised the price by 300 million Purple Xuan Crystals in one go.
This meant that he was already very unhappy. If the Bi Clan continued to raise the price, it would be a slap to the Ye Clan's face.
The atmosphere became even more oppressive. Once the royal family was enraged, blood would flow for thousands of miles. The Bi family might not even be able to return home …
Lu Li held the chair tightly and stared at the lotus seat of the Bi Family. Everyone else was looking at him, waiting for the decision of the Bi Family.
"Buzz!"
The light shield on the Bi Clan's Lotus Flower Stage disappeared. A middle-aged Martial Emperor cupped his hands towards Ye Luo and said, "Young Master Ye, my father is critically ill and urgently needs the Bodhi Fruit to save his life. So … my apologies. I will add another ten million.
After this matter, Bi Rong will personally go to Heaven and Earth City and let the Ye Clan deal with him! "
"Uh …"
The crowd was in an uproar. The Bi Family Human Sovereign Realm warrior was so humble and stated that he needed the Bodhi Fruit to save his life and he was willing to go to Heaven and Earth City to apologize.
If Ye Luo continued to raise the price, it would affect the reputation of the Ye Family.
Ye Luo quieted down. After a while, the light shield on the Lotus Flower Stage disappeared. Ye Luo looked at the Bi Family Human Sovereign Realm warrior first, then to the crowd and then to Lu Li without leaving a trace …
"Alas!"
Lu Li sighed to himself. He knew Ye Luo had tried his best.
It would be heartless of Ye Luo to say anything under such circumstances. He was not afraid of being criticized but the Ye Family needed to save face.
Therefore, Ye Luo looked at the Bi Family Human Sovereign Realm warrior. He nodded and said, "Ye Family gives up."
"Young Master Ye, you are mighty!"
"Young Master Ye, you are so kind and righteous ~"
Many people shouted. Many young ladies looked at Ye Luo with infatuation.
Just now, Ye Luo had already flown into a rage. When he heard that the Bi Family Human Sovereign Realm warrior was trying to save his father, he calmly said he would give up. Many admired and admired his bearing.
Lu Li closed his eyes. He knew he could only count on himself now.
Of course, Ye Luo would support him secretly. He could borrow some Xuan Crystals from Ye Luo.
"Whoosh ~"
Just as Lu Li thought of this, he heard a noise coming from behind him. An Interspatial Ring flew in from the cabin and Lu Li grabbed it in his hand.
Prajna took a look with curiosity and then murmured, "So many Xuan Crystals. There must be at least one billion Purple Xuan Crystals.
Brother, who gave this to you? "
Lu Li used psychic power to check. He was refreshed. He looked at Ye Luo gratefully.
But Ye Luo had activated the shield so Lu Li could not see him clearly.
It was just some friendship in the small battlefield and Ye Luo had sent over one billion Purple Xuan Crystals. This was a great favor.
Evil Punisher's voice came from outside, "The Bi Family is offering one billion and ten million to save the Family Patriarch. Anyone else?
One billion and ten million going once, one billion and ten million going twice … "
Nobody made any more bids. After all, the price was too high. It was not worth it.
What was more, to compete for the Family Patriarch would be criticized. The Bi Family was here to save lives. Competing for the Family Patriarch would be driving him to death.
Lu Li looked at Gu Min and said gently, "Go and make an offer of one billion and one hundred million!"
Gu Min didn't have any hesitation about Lu Li's order. He lifted the gauze, raised his hand and said, "One billion and one hundred million Purple Xuan Crystals."
Swish, swish, swish ~
Many people looked over. The place that had quieted down was stirred up again. They thought the Bi Family had won the Bodhi Fruit. Who would have guessed that there would be another uproar?
"Hmm!"
Inside a lotus seat, Ji Mengtian sneered. Die Feiyu, on the other hand, was stunned. "The Gu Family has made a move. Is Gu Fengliu really Lu Li?
What kind of skill is that? How can he turn into another person?
Lu Li … is Lu Li? "
Die Feiyu was ashamed and angry at the thought of being flirted with at the banquet the day before. There was also fear in her eyes.
Lu Li had become Ji Mengtian's devil and so was Die Feiyu. She was scared to even hear the name, let alone see Lu Li …
There were more than 10,000 people sitting at the south side. They were all discussing and asking questions.
After all, the Gu Family was a small family. If it were not for the fact that the Gu Family had gained some fame recently, not many would know about the Gu Family.
Many people checked Gu Min with psychic power. Gu Min felt bitter. After the auction, the Gu Family would not be able to stay at the Central Plains any longer.
The Bi Family Human Sovereign Realm warrior was angry. He could not afford to offend a Royal Family. How dare a Noble Lord Realm warrior from a fifth-rank family challenge him?
He had said that he was here to save lives. Was this guy here to pick a fight?
"Eh?"
Many people checked the private room with psychic power and saw Prajna next to Lu Li.
Prajna was clearly dressed as a nun. She must be from the Great Buddhist Temple. Why was she in Lu Li's private room?
Was there some conspiracy or inside story?
