Chapter 2378: Auction of Five-Colored Mysterious Stone

The Auctioneer was very satisfied with the atmosphere and motioned for everyone to be quiet, then began the auction.

"Everyone, there is only one Heaven Mending Pill, so be sure to seize the opportunity. The starting price is five million High-Grade Spirit Stones, and each bid increase must not be less than five hundred thousand…"

Although Jubao Pavilion raised the starting price of the Heaven Mending Pill to an unprecedented five million, it still did not dampen everyone's enthusiasm. As soon as it started, people immediately began to bid.

"Five million five hundred thousand…"

"six million…"

"Seven million…"

The price soared in an instant, almost doubling in the blink of an eye.

"I bid twelve million!"

Knowing he could not wait any longer, Xin Wubei directly called out his price.

At the same time, his voice contained his extremely powerful True Qi, making everyone's ears buzz.

"Uh…"

Everyone in the auction hall showed a dejected expression. They were not scared by the price, but rather amazed by the other party's cultivation.

The person who spoke this time was clearly not the same as the last, but his cultivation was even stronger than the previous one.

Two Great Ascension Stage powerhouses, this was not something just anyone dared to provoke.

Moreover, it was clear that his every move exuded a domineering Aura; he was not a reasonable person at all.

Facing such a person, everyone instinctively chose to back down.

This was normal. Even Jubao Pavilion dared not provoke him. Ordinary people, once angered, would only bring trouble upon themselves.

At that time, not only would they not get the Medicinal Pill, but they would probably lose their lives as well.

Elder Wu of Jubao Pavilion felt a bitter taste in his mouth. He had been sitting here for so long, and it was the first time he had encountered so many Great Ascension Stage powerhouses.

He could feel that the person who spoke this time was at least in the Late Stage of the Great Vehicle Realm, or had even reached the Peak Realm.

He sighed. Since he could not afford to provoke him, he could only choose to remain silent.

In another private room, Yuan Tiancheng looked at Qian Wuji, "Sect Leader, this Heaven Mending Pill is a good item. Should our Sect acquire it?"

"Acquire it? How will you acquire it?"

Qian Wuji also wanted this Medicinal Pill, but he was more aware of the current situation.

Xin Wubei lost an arm in the battle at Tianlong Temple. In such a situation, anyone who competed with him for the Heaven Mending Pill would be no different from fighting for their life.

The most crucial point was that he did not have the capital to compete. In terms of High-Grade Spirit Stones, there were not many left.

In terms of strength, they had two Great Ascension Peak powerhouses and one Late Stage of the Great Vehicle Realm powerhouse. He had no advantage here at all.

Most importantly, the two sides had already reached a tacit understanding this time; their target was Ye Bufan, and they were temporarily in a cooperative relationship, so there was no need to make things too stiff.

Yuan Tiancheng also understood this principle and could only sigh.

Xin Wubei had a smug look on his face. In his opinion, this Medicinal Pill was bound to be his.

Not only him, but everyone else thought so too. Even the Auctioneer had already picked up the auction hammer in her hand.

And just then, another cold voice came over: "Fifteen million…"

"Hiss…"

A gasp immediately echoed through the venue. Everyone was astonished, not expecting that there really was someone not afraid of death, daring to snatch a treasure from a Great Ascension Stage powerhouse.

The Steward had been standing by, watching with cold eyes. He naturally knew who was bidding and secretly admired this person's courage and shrewdness, not forgetting to raise the price for himself at this moment.

Xin Wubei glanced coldly to the side. The one who had just bid was the person in private room six.

Had this person not already bowed his head and conceded to the Third Elder just now? Why was he trying to snatch the treasure from him again?

"Twenty million…"

After stating the price again, he snorted coldly, and this voice, mixed with overwhelming Aura, directly attacked private room six.

"Boy, if you seek death again, I'll twist your head off."

Ye Bufan was directly sent flying backward by Xin Wubei's Aura, crashing against the wall with a bang. Although he was not injured, he was in a sorry state.

He could not help but smile bitterly. His cultivation was truly vulnerable in front of a Great Ascension Peak.

However, his goal had been achieved. What he wanted to do was to consume more of the other party's Spirit Stones to ensure he would have enough money to acquire the five-colored mystic stone later.

Currently, he had almost twenty million High-Grade Spirit Stones in his Storage Ring. After the previous few auctions, he had an additional fifty million in income. Such a large sum of money should ensure everything was foolproof.

The reason he chose to auction these few Medicinal Pills before was with a purpose.

The Void Essence Pill was prepared for Wuliang Temple, while the later Demon Spirit Pill and Heaven Mending Pill were aimed at the Demonic Sect.

Knowing that the other party would definitely not let go of these Medicinal Pills, he could both consume the other party's financial resources and replenish his own pockets.

He originally did not know who had set the trap for him, so he made full preparations in all aspects, and unexpectedly, they all came into play.

Now, seeing that Xin Wubei was already angry, he dared not continue to raise the price.

If the other party directly gave up bidding and planned to snatch it from him later, that would be troublesome.

So he directly gave up bidding, and the scene returned to quiet.

Seeing that there was no longer any suspense, the Auctioneer brought down her small hammer, and the Heaven Mending Pill was acquired by Xin Wubei.

In fact, twenty million was a bit high, but the goods sold to the buyer. Not to mention twenty million, even a higher price, he would have to get it, after all, his arm was priceless.

Lan Meier, however, was speechless. All the Spirit Stones were currently in her possession. After paying for the Heaven Mending Pill, only fifteen million remained.

Although she felt it was a bit inappropriate, in terms of status and position, she could not compare with these three in front of her, and in the end, she could only keep silent.

Xin Wubei, however, did not care about these. Holding the Heaven Mending Pill in his hand, his face was full of excitement, and he immediately prepared to consume it.

Xin Wunu stopped him: "Second brother, don't rush. The five-colored mystic stone will be next soon. It's not too late to take this Medicinal Pill later."

Xin Wubei thought about it and agreed. Restoring his body was not urgent for the moment. He carefully put the Heaven Mending Pill into his Storage Ring.

The auction continued, and the Beauty Auctioneer was already grinning from ear to ear.

Every one of those Medicinal Pills just now fetched a sky-high price. In the past, the income from an entire auction was not as much as these few Medicinal Pills.

Taking a deep breath, she suppressed the excitement in her heart and waved to the stage. Immediately, a maid came up with a tray.

Although the red cloth covering it had not yet been removed, Ye Bufan had already sensed the Aura of the five-colored mystic stone, and his heart could not help but beat a few times faster.

He had searched for so long, and finally, he had seen the genuine article. No matter what, he had to get it into his hands.

"Everyone, our next auction item is the five-colored mystic stone…"

The Beauty Auctioneer was extremely excited, speaking fluently during her introduction. Ye Bufan felt particularly anxious, but there was nothing he could do. At this moment, he had to remain calm.

Finally, she was almost done speaking. The Beauty Auctioneer said: "The five-colored mystic stone has a starting price of five million High-Grade Spirit Stones, with each bid increase not less than five hundred thousand. The auction now begins…"
