Chapter 2380: Windfall

With the support of Wuliang Temple, the Demonic Sect immediately felt much more confident.

Xin Wuxi directly shouted, "I bid thirty million…"

This was already the highest price they could offer, aiming to scare the other party away in one fell swoop.

Everyone present was startled. Raising the bid from twenty million to thirty million at once, such a lavish bid had never been seen before.

One must know that this was neither a real stone nor gold coins; these were genuine High-Grade Spirit Stones.

Thirty million High-Grade Spirit Stones, many people had never seen them in their entire lives, and some couldn't even imagine them normally.

"As expected of a prominent figure, his bids are so generous…"

"Thirty million, I bet that person will definitely be scared away…"

"I don't know if he'll be scared away, but he definitely can't produce that many High-Grade Spirit Stones…"

The people present whispered among themselves, expressing their opinions, unanimously pessimistic about six's private room, as this price was simply too high.

Just when everyone thought the auction was about to end, a voice from six's private room called out again: "I bid fifty million High-Grade Spirit Stones…"

"Uh… it's fifty million High-Grade Spirit Stones. Did I hear that correctly?"

The people in the auction house exchanged bewildered glances, each unable to believe their ears.

Was the other party insane? To be willing to spend so much money to buy a five-colored mystic stone!

Even the Steward and Elder Wu were startled. It was no exaggeration to say that in all the years Jubao Pavilion had been open here, they had never sold anything for such a high price.

Ye Bufan had his reasons for shouting such a high price.

The five-colored mystic stone was crucial to him, and he wouldn't care how much money it cost.

Additionally, he was afraid the Demonic Sect might pull the same trick again. If they attacked him right after he made his bid, and Jubao Pavilion didn't intervene, he would still be in some trouble.

There was nothing he could do; his cultivation was simply too much lower than theirs.

But now it was different. Since he had instantly raised the bid to fifty million, no matter how overbearing the other party was, they couldn't possibly make him retract his bid directly.

That would be a complete loss of face for Jubao Pavilion. They couldn't even play the ostrich, otherwise, they wouldn't be able to establish themselves in Tianqiong State in the future.

Of course, there was also the most important point: all this money belonged to the other party, so he didn't feel any pain spending it.

He had sold those Medicinal Pills earlier precisely to deplete the other party's funds and then expand his own strength. Now, it seemed absolutely perfect.

While he was proceeding in an orderly fashion, the Demonic Sect was completely dumbfounded. With such a high price directly called out, how could they continue to bid? Even if they didn't care about the commission, they still needed to be able to produce that many Spirit Stones.

Xin Wuxi looked bewildered and turned back, calling out, "Big Brother, what should we do?"

Xin Wunu frowned. In this situation, he didn't have a very good solution either.

They could certainly fall out with Jubao Pavilion using their strength, but he didn't want to resort to such a drastic measure unless absolutely necessary.

"Let him have it. I don't believe he can take the item away."

Xin Wubei said, "That's right. Let him pay for it. When the item is in his hands for a while, we'll take it, along with his life."

Soon, the group reached an agreement and stopped bidding, leaving the auction hall in silence.

The Beauty Auctioneer went through the usual procedures, and after a few simple inquiries, she brought down the hammer, concluding this auction.

Ye Bufan secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He could finally get his hands on the item.

Not long after, the door opened, and the Steward cheerfully walked in from outside.

"Honored guest, I've brought the item you auctioned for."

After saying that, he waved his hand, and the maid behind him came forward, holding a tray on which the five-colored mystic stone was prominently displayed.

Ye Bufan took the item into his hand and carefully inspected it, confirming that there was no mistake. It was indeed a genuine article.

The Steward then said, "Honored guest, the Medicinal Pills you auctioned earlier sold for a total of fifty-nine million. Our Jubao Pavilion takes a ten percent commission.

After deducting the fifty million for this five-colored mystic stone, a total of three million one hundred thousand remains. Please accept it."

With that, he handed over a Storage Ring.

Ye Bufan took it and glanced inside. It was full of High-Grade Spirit Stones, exactly three million one hundred thousand.

"Grand Manager, please help me with something."

"Please tell me. I will do my best to fulfill anything I can."

The Grand Manager wore a fawning expression.

This person before him was a god of wealth, a major patron. Just by selling these few Medicinal Pills, he had helped Jubao Pavilion earn millions of High-Grade Spirit Stones.

He himself would also receive a substantial income, so it was important to maintain a good relationship with such a customer.

Ye Bufan held the Storage Ring in his hand: "I don't want this money. One million High-Grade Spirit Stones from it are for you as a reward.

As for the rest, please help me distribute it among everyone present, excluding those in the private rooms."

"Wh-wh-what?"

Upon hearing these words, the Grand Manager was stunned. He had worked at Jubao Pavilion for so many years and had seen countless rewards, but this was the first time he had seen such a generous one.

One million High-Grade Spirit Stones, if taken out, would already be the entire assets of many large Families.

He was now in a high-paying position, but he only earned one hundred thousand High-Grade Spirit Stones a year, so this was equivalent to giving him ten years of income at once.

The Grand Manager swallowed with difficulty: "Honored guest, you're not joking, are you?"

"Of course not. I'm in a good mood today, so let's just give out this small amount of money as a reward."

As Ye Bufan spoke, he flicked his finger, and the Storage Ring landed back in his hand.

"His only request is that you go now, without a moment's delay."

"Now?"

The Grand Manager was a little troubled. After all, the auction was currently in progress, and interrupting it midway would be somewhat difficult.

Ye Bufan said, "That's right, now. If my mood changes later, then this won't count."

"Don't worry, I'll go now."

For his one million High-Grade Spirit Stones, the Grand Manager wouldn't give up such a golden opportunity that fell from the sky. He immediately took the Storage Ring and ran out.

On the stage, the Beauty Auctioneer had just brought out the sixth item for auction when she saw the Grand Manager rushing over.

"The auction is temporarily suspended. I have an important announcement to make."

The Grand Manager directly halted the auction and then looked at everyone present.

"What is it? Can't whatever it is wait until the auction is over?"

"Exactly! What's the meaning of interrupting the auction midway?"

The guests below didn't understand what was happening and were extremely displeased, discussing animatedly, some even protesting loudly.

"Everyone, please quiet down."

The Grand Manager shook the Storage Ring in his hand, "The honored guest from six's private room just gave a reward, a total of two million one hundred thousand High-Grade Spirit Stones, to be equally divided among everyone present."

After saying that, he directly moved his mind and took out all two million one hundred thousand High-Grade Spirit Stones.

The originally spacious auction stage was immediately piled full, and a rich Spiritual Qi instantly filled the entire auction hall.

"This…"

Everyone below was completely dumbfounded. Those who were still protesting immediately shut their mouths.

This was a high-end auction, and there were only about sixty or seventy people in the entire hall. Calculating it, each person would receive approximately three hundred thousand High-Grade Spirit Stones.

Even if these people present weren't short on money, three hundred thousand High-Grade Spirit Stones was absolutely a huge fortune.

This was simply an unexpected windfall, no wonder they couldn't believe it.
