Chapter 404: Intense Bidding

Everyone looked over in unison; the person speaking was a middle-aged man with an exceptionally handsome appearance.

Xiao Fan also looked over and was surprised to discover that this man was actually Nangong Lingxuans Father…

He turned his head to glance at Nangong Lingxuan; she was holding a sound-transmission Jade Slip in her hand, looking as if she had just finished sending a message.

He instantly understood; he knew Nangong Lingxuan had contacted her father.

"Ten million!" The gray-haired Elder who had just raised the bid spoke up, his face flushed red…

Even for a Yuanhun Realm expert, bringing out ten million was an astronomical price!

Nangong Lingxuans Father's expression suddenly darkened. Although he could represent the Nangong Family, he could not mobilize too many Spirit Stones from within the Nangong Family.

His entire personal net worth was barely around ten million Spirit Stones…

"Eleven million!" At this moment, Mo Xiaoyao spoke again.

His expression was also very ugly. Ziyun Cave Heaven was very wealthy, but that did not mean he, Mo Xiaoyao, was personally rich…

After purchasing this five elements sword pill, he estimated he would have no assets left.

Xiao Fan noticed that Nangong Lingxuan, who was beside him, looked dejected.

At the same time, he looked at Nangong Lingxuans Father, whose expression was also very ugly.

It seemed that he didn't have enough Spirit Stones and could no longer afford to bid.

Nangong Lingxuan quickly used the Jade Slip to send a message to her father, telling him that she also had a few hundred thousand Spirit Stones on her that could be used for the auction.

A few hundred thousand Spirit Stones were just a drop in the bucket for this auction…

But one could see Nangong Lingxuan's desire for this five elements sword pill.

Or rather, her obsession with Sword Intent.

Nangong Lingxuans Father was stunned; there was no time to ask his daughter where she got so many Spirit Stones.

He counted the Spirit Stones in his Storage Pouch, intending to use more of the Nangong Family's assets to continue bidding.

"Twelve million!"

Nangong Lingxuans Father spoke once again…

Each bid increase had to be at least one hundred thousand, but at such a critical moment, one absolutely could not just add one hundred thousand.

One had to know that adding one hundred thousand Spirit Stones at a time was equivalent to giving the opponent an opportunity.

Psychological warfare was also very important during an auction; bidding aggressively created a feeling of being determined to win.

It made many people voluntarily think that they did not have enough assets to compete…

And in fact, it was indeed like that. The gray-haired Elder's expression was ugly; he simply could not produce twelve million Spirit Stones, and in the end, he could only give up!!

This gray-haired Elder, whose name was Guo Xing, was filled with unwillingness…

He was a famous Loose Cultivator in Wuhuang Province, usually traveling far and wide, and even people from major forces would not easily provoke him.

He came to attend this auction because he heard there was an item he liked that was suitable for him, but as a result…

Below, Mo Xiaoyao of Ziyun Cave Heaven also had a livid expression.

His own Spirit Stones were already insufficient. If he were to bid again, he would have to use the Spirit Stones of Ziyun Cave Heaven.

"Damn it…" Mo Xiaoyao gritted his teeth fiercely…

"Thirteen million!!"

He decided to use some of Ziyun Cave Heaven's Spirit Stones; at worst, he would explain it to the Sect after returning.

As long as he did not use too much, under normal circumstances, a major force would not easily punish a Yuanhun Realm Elder…

Nangong Lingxuans Father's expression collapsed instantly…

Twelve million Spirit Stones was already the limit of what he could produce.

He simply could not produce any more.

Furthermore, he had already told his daughter this news via sound transmission earlier.

Nangong Lingxuan's face was filled with disappointment. She had studied the sword since she was young and knew exactly how much significance Sword Intent had for a Cultivator who specialized in the sword.

But the five elements sword pill, which could assist people with a chance to comprehend Sword Intent, was right in front of her.

But in the end, her own Spirit Stones were not enough…

In the venue, no one spoke…

The Elders from the Piaomiao Immortal Palace, Thunder Fire Sect, and Jixian Sect were the same.

In terms of the Sect's financial resources, they could indeed purchase this five elements sword pill.

But for a Sect, this five elements sword pill was indeed of little use.

If this Medicinal Pill ensured that after consuming it, one could one hundred percent form Sword Intent.

Then the major forces would all speak up, and even if the price was raised to tens of millions of Spirit Stones, the various sides would not back down.

But this five elements sword pill only offered a chance.

What if it didn't succeed?

Then the loss would be too great…

Wu Qingyan looked around and announced loudly: "Ziyun Cave Heaven, thirteen million, going once!"

At this moment, even Mo Xiaoyao was very nervous, afraid that someone would suddenly pop up to snatch it away.

He had already called upon Ziyun Cave Heaven's Spirit Stones; if he had to add more, he would be unable to handle it…

"Do you really want this Medicinal Pill?" Xiao Fan looked at Nangong Lingxuan and asked.

Nangong Lingxuan glanced at him, nodding with a somewhat aggrieved expression…

She knew Xiao Fan was very rich, but he had already spent nearly three million Spirit Stones earlier…

In her view, Xiao Fan should have run out of Spirit Stones.

And she did not know that Xiao Fan had acted as a shill for the Treasure Pavilion, and his net worth had actually increased instead of shrinking.

"Hmm…" Xiao Fan stroked his chin and said: "Tell your father that in a moment, I will bid for this item, and he should give me twelve million Spirit Stones…"

"???"

Nangong Lingxuan was stunned; she did not understand what Xiao Fan meant by these words.

"Ziyun Cave Heaven, thirteen million, going twice…"

"Fifteen million!"
