Chapter 483 - 208: Some people change, some people can’t._3
“Five thousand Lower Grade Spirit Stones!”
The scene quieted for a moment.
Then, a Qi Refinement Finalization Cultivator gritted his teeth and cried, “Five thousand and one!”
Luo Chen glanced at him, calmly saying, “Five thousand and two.”
The man gritted his teeth again, “Five thousand and three!”
“Five thousand and four.”
With this unruffled manner, it was clear that Luo Chen would match whatever the man bid.
As the man prepared to bid higher, his companion pulled him back.
His companion shook his head at him with a grave expression, yet the man was filled with reluctance.
However, in the end, he despondently gave up.
After all, he was up against a Foundation Establishment True Cultivator!
Three times was the limit. If he continued to fight, he feared he might risk his life over this purchase.
Moreover, there were still two more lots to bid on!
Fear of the True Cultivator and the hope for future lots finally made him give up.
“The first Foundation Establishment Pill, five thousand and four hundred Spirit Stones once!”
“Five thousand and four hundred Spirit Stones twice!”
Huo Hu’s eyebrows knitted together, his face full of dissatisfaction.
The price for the publicly auctioned Foundation Establishment Pill should not be this low!
Moreover, the current market price for elixirs has been on the rise, it shouldn’t be this low!
Today was the day that his Huo Family declared sovereignty over the Taishan District, the price should not be this low!
He dragged out the final call, hesitating to bring the hammer down.
Facing him was Luo Chen’s aloof and placid gaze.
In the end, he said resentfully, “Five thousand and four hundred Spirit Stones, thrice.”
“Sold!”
Without any congratulations, the elixir was sent directly to Luo Chen.
Many people noticed this unsportsmanlike act.
In the Kang Family’s private room.
Kang Dongyue shook his head, the Huo Family’s auction was not going well.
Declaring sovereignty was nothing significant.
But rushing to promote Huo Hu, the newly advanced Foundation Establishment prodigy, was questionable.
Inviting a highly respected elder to host the auction could have earned them huge profits and a good reputation.
What a waste!
In the Yu Family’s private room.
A lady in palace attire also furrowed her eyebrows.
An old man next to her whispered, “This boy, Huo Hu, is just like his father. He’s domineering, but narrow-minded. Chu Chu’s marriage to him will probably not be smooth sailing!”
The lady in palace attire gave a bitter smile, “Elder, what can I do? Huo Quan will probably reach the Late Stage Foundation Establishment after he comes out of seclusion. Already stronger than us, with two Foundation Establishment cultivators in the family, and with the Flame Alliance backing them.”
“We are not like the Kang Family, who have the support of the Yu Ding Sword Sect. If we don’t enter into a marriage alliance, are we waiting to be extorted in the future?”
The elder fell silent.
However, looking at Huo Hu, he was clearly not satisfied.
He feared that Chu Chu would suffer in the future.
The first Foundation Establishment Pill was sold at the low price of five thousand and four.
The rogue cultivators who did not participate in the bidding were filled with envy.
Especially those who could afford this amount of Spirit Stones, they were filled with regret.
But, that was a Foundation Establishment True Cultivator!
Over at the Great Lake Gang’s side.
Min Longyu eagerly watched the Foundation Establishment Pill being delivered to the ninth private room via the backstage.
He knew that Wang Haichao would not compete with Luo Chen.
After all, Luo Chen did not cause trouble during the Xuanhuo Sword auction and he was extremely wealthy.
If he were in their shoes, he would do the same.
He licked his dry lips, reminding cautiously:
“Gang Leader, the auction for the second Foundation Establishment Pill has started.”
Wang Haichao nodded his head.
“No rush, let’s watch the situation first, then close the deal with one fell swoop!”
Min Longyu hesitated for a moment, then nodded vigorously.
Right!
Strike with one blow!
Didn’t Luo Chen just buy the Second Order Secret Technique in one fell swoop?
There’s no reason we can’t do it, too.
When he chose to follow Wang Haichao, Wang Haichao promised to secure a Foundation Establishment Pill for him with full sincerity.
