The noise lasted for the time for half an incense stick to burn. There were only two fruits left and there were still two hours before nightfall. Evil Punisher was not in a hurry so he didn't urge the Bi Family Human Sovereign Realm warrior to increase the price.
Evil Punisher and others had clearly sensed that Prajna was with Lu Li but they acted as if they didn't see her. Lu Li was confused that nobody from the Great Buddhist Temple paid attention to Prajna.
Theoretically speaking, Prajna should enjoy a high status at the Great Buddhist Temple. How come nobody cared about her when she was with a stranger?
Weren't they afraid that Lu Li would hurt Prajna?
The Bi Family Human Sovereign Realm warrior stared at Gu Min in an overbearing manner as if he wanted him to give up.
Gu Min was Lu Ling's slave and he had to listen to Lu Li's orders. Why would he have any concerns?
The Bi Family Human Sovereign Realm warrior thought about it and said, "Master Evil Punisher, I don't think this man has 1.1 billion Purple Xuan Crystals. I want you to send someone to verify it."
This was a normal procedure that could be found at auctions.
If it had been Ye Luo, no one would have doubted him even if he had called for five billion. Ye Luo would have definitely taken out five billion in the end.
The Gu Family was too small. How could a fifth rank family afford so many Xuan Crystals?
Many people were doubtful that Gu Min was here to make trouble.
Evil Punisher glanced at a white-browed monk below the stage. The white-browed monk walked toward Gu Min, and Gu Min led him into the private room.
Lu Li put the two Interspatial Rings he had prepared on the table. The white-browed monk took them over with psychic power, walked out and said, "The offer is valid."
"What ~"
A clamor came from the south. The Gu family had become completely famous this time.
At least … the small Gu Family had so many Purple Xuan Crystals that they dared to challenge a seventh rank family. This was already big news.
The Bi Family Human Sovereign Realm warrior's eyes flickered. Soon, he made up his mind and said, "I will add another 10 million!"
This time, it was Lu Li's turn to be doubtful. A seventh rank family was rich. If the family had been around for thousands of years, they should be able to afford more than a billion Purple Xuan Crystals.
But the Bi Family Human Sovereign Realm warrior already felt it was difficult when he offered 400 to 500 million Purple Xuan Crystals. How could he still make such a high offer?
Lu Li didn't ask the Great Buddhist Temple to check right away. he just threw Gu Min a glance. Gu Min walked out and made another offer without any hesitation, "1.2 billion!"
This time, the Bi Family Human Sovereign Realm warrior made another offer without hesitation, "Another 10 million!"
Gu Min turned around and Lu Li nodded. Gu Min made another bid, "1.4 billion!"
Lu Li had 1.6 billion on him now. Now that the Bi Family was challenging him, he had no other choice but to go all the way. He had to reach 1.6 billion first.
Lu Li never valued Xuan Crystals as they were merely worldly possessions. Bai Qiuxue's life meant everything to him.
Even if he had to exchange all of his wealth, he wouldn't even bat an eyelid.
Hence, he would never back down from bidding. He wanted to make the Bi Family Renhuang feel hopeless. He wanted to make the Bi Family Renhuang afraid to continue bidding, or at least not have enough Xuan Crystals to continue bidding.
"1.5 billion!"
The Bi Clan Renhuang seemed to be irritated. He stood up and shouted, "I bid 1.5 billion!"
Lu Li was scared as well. He nodded again. Gu Min didn't feel pressured at all. He shouted 1.6 billion at once.
Lu Li's eyes reddened. He stared at the Bi Family Human Sovereign Realm warrior. If the Bi Family Human Sovereign Realm warrior continued to bid, Lu Li would have no more Xuan Crystals to bid.
The one billion Xuan Crystals Ye Luo had given him was probably his limit. It was impossible for him to have so many Xuan Crystals with him.
What was more, the Ye Family would not allow him to lend to Lu Li limitlessly …
"Two billion!"
After the Bi Family Human Sovereign Realm warrior made the bid, there was no noise or excitement. Instead, it was dead silent again.
Just now, Gu Min and the Bi Family Human Sovereign Realm warrior had been bidding crazily. They kept raising the price, which confused many people. Now, the bid of two billion startled many.
"Out of their minds, out of their minds …"
"Two billion Purple Xuan Crystals. Good heavens. I can buy a Quasi Relic with some more."
"This is worth it. After today, the Bi Family and the Gu Family will be famous all over the Great Land."
After a moment of silence, the entire place was in chaos. One Bodhi Fruit was estimated to be worth only 600 or 700 million Purple Xuan Crystals. Now, the Bi Family was offering three times that amount. How crazy was that?
Lu Li had stood up nervously. Now, he slumped back into his chair, frustrated.
He had no more Xuan Crystals. Even if Ye Luo lent him another billion, it wouldn't be enough …
He had traveled a long way to the Central Plains, full of hope. He had been living in anxiety day and night, but he had failed miserably.
Only one Bodhi Fruit would be produced every few years. Lu Li could imagine how painful it was for him to have it taken away right in front of his eyes.
"Wait ~"
A glint of coldness rose in the eyes of the patriarch of the Gu Family. He walked out, pointed to the Bi Family Human Sovereign Realm warrior and said, "We suspect that he doesn't have that many Xuan Crystals. Please ask the master of the Great Buddhist Temple to go and check."
"Right!"
Lu Li's eyes glowed. A seventh rank family could afford two billion Purple Xuan Crystals?
Lu Li stood up and walked out, looking at Evil Punisher and the white-eyebrowed monk.
Now that someone had doubts, Lu Li must go and check.
Evil Punisher threw the white-eyebrowed monk a look. The white-eyebrowed monk kicked on the ground and flew to the lotus seat.
"Eh …"
The Bi Family Human Sovereign Realm warrior was embarrassed. The white-eyebrowed monk put his palms together and said, "Almsgiver Bi, I am sorry.
Please take out your Xuan Crystals and let me check so that I can make sure that the offer is valid. "
"Okay!"
Lu Li's eyes glowed when he saw the embarrassment on the Bi Family Human Sovereign Realm warrior's face.
The Bi Family Human Sovereign Realm warrior made a bid in anger. It was possible that he didn't have that many Xuan Crystals on him.
As long as the Bi Family Human Sovereign Realm warrior didn't have that many Xuan Crystals, then the offer would be the highest.
"Almsgiver Bi, please cooperate!"
Seeing that the Bi Family Human Sovereign Realm warrior didn't take out the Interspatial Ring with Xuan Crystals, the white-eyebrowed monk emphasized again.
Many people at the south stood up, making a lot of noise. If the Bi Family Human Sovereign Realm warrior couldn't afford the Xuan Crystals, then it would be a big joke …
The Bi Family Human Sovereign Realm warrior made up his mind. He took out an Interspatial Ring with Xuan Crystals, made up his mind and said, "There are 1.5 billion Purple Xuan Crystals in here. The other 500 million, I, I …"
"Um …!"
Soon, there came a lot of noise. The Bi Family Human Sovereign Realm warrior really didn't have that many Xuan Crystals. How could he make such a high offer without Xuan Crystals?
Wouldn't the people from the Great Buddha Temple kill him with a single slap if that was the case?
"The rest …"
At that moment, a cold voice came out from a shield, shocking everyone, "We will pay for the rest of the 500 million for him!"
Countless gazes swept over and were stunned because the person who spoke was a member of a seventh-rank clan, and a very famous seventh-rank clan at that.
The family was called the Yan Family. Once an eighth rank family, it had declined and was affiliated to the Hades Society.
The Yan Family had been keeping a low profile. They didn't even say anything today.
Also, the Yan Family's territory was at the northeast of the Central Plains while the Bi Family was at the southeast. How could they be related?
"A force under the Hades Society?
It is … Yang Xuan! "
Lu Li heard the explanation from the patriarch of the Gu Family. He was filled with killing intent.
He would be an idiot if he still didn't understand.
This was a conspiracy!
A conspiracy against him. His identity had been seen through and the Bi Family was just a pawn.
It was even possible … that the billions of Xuan Crystals in the hands of the Bi Family Human Sovereign Realm warrior were pooled together by Ji Mengtian, Yang Xuan and Lu Suan. Their purpose was to stop Lu Li from getting the Bodhi Fruit!
Revenge!
Ji Mengtian, Yang Xuan and Lu Suan wanted to get back at him but they couldn't do it directly. Therefore, they sent the Bi Family.
Maybe …
