Such an item with a dismal cost-performance ratio was obviously not something Lin Yi should get involved with.
"This kid is actually willing to spend two million on a pile of fragments?"
Not far away, Huangfu Jie looked at Lin Yi with incredulity. Even as the direct descendant and Heavenly Pride of the Huangfu Family, he couldn’t imagine doing something so extravagant.
After Lin Yi called out the high price of two million.
The auction hall fell silent.
Just when Lin Yi thought he could secure the Holy Sword Fragments , an unexpected hoarse voice suddenly came from one of the private boxes.
"Two million one hundred thousand."
The owner of the voice was clearly a powerful Venerable, and his voice carried an unmistakable air of authority as it spread throughout the auction hall.
However, upon hearing this voice, Lin Yi’s expression changed, and then he said in a deep tone, "Two million two hundred thousand."
"Two million five hundred thousand."
The Venerable raised the price again.
As the price was driven up once more, Lin Yi’s expression became one of helpless resignation; the price had exceeded his limit.
He was forced to abandon the competition.
"Two million six hundred thousand."
Just as Lin Yi was ready to give up the struggle in his heart, suddenly, Lu Qingcheng’s voice rang out beside him.
Lin Yi immediately looked at Lu Qingcheng with astonishment.
Lu Qingcheng smiled and said, "While I still have some private money, let me help you out."
"That’s very embarrassing..."
Lin Yi chuckled awkwardly. How could he comfortably spend Lu Qingcheng’s money? If word got out, wouldn’t that make him a kept man?
Although being a kept man did have its appeals.
"Two million seven hundred thousand!"
The Venerable had not yet given up.
Lu Qingcheng bit her lip, "Three million!"
After Lu Qingcheng shouted out the price of three million, the Venerable hesitated for a while and eventually shook his head. Three million King-grade Spirit Stones for a few Holy Sword Fragments was indeed a bit uneconomical.
"What is Qingcheng doing spending so much on the Holy Sword Fragments?"
A puzzled look appeared on Huangfu Jie’s face, which suddenly brightened with realization, "Could it be she’s buying them for Lin Yi?"
Seeing Lin Yi and Lu Qingcheng having a lively conversation from a distance, Huangfu Jie’s face turned extremely sour.
This guy, he couldn’t really be so brazen as to be a kept man, right?
"Three million once!"
"Three million twice!"
"Congratulations to Miss Qingcheng for successfully bidding on the six Holy Sword Fragments for three million King-grade Spirit Stones!"
The silver-haired elder announced the result with a beaming smile.
"Thanks to my future wife!"
Seeing the Holy Sword Fragments in his hands, Lin Yi looked at Lu Qingcheng with joy, his eyes filled with excitement.
With these six Holy Sword Fragments, Lin Yi was confident that he could make a breakthrough to the Sealing King Realm Sixth Level!
As Lin Yi’s spirits were high, Lu Qingcheng stretched out her Jade Hand towards him, seemingly asking for something, which left Lin Yi puzzled.
"What are you standing there dumbfounded for?"
Lu Qingcheng glared at Lin Yi, "You should have the two million two hundred thousand, right?"
"Don’t tell me you expect me to pay the three million alone?"
Lin Yi hurriedly waved his hand, taking out all his King-grade Spirit Stones and handing them over to Lu Qingcheng, "Consider it a loan from me this time, I’ll definitely repay you in the future!"
Only then did a smile appear on Lu Qingcheng’s face, "When you pay me back, it will be more than just this, huh!"
Huangfu Jie, witnessing the scene between the two, was already seething with anger, his face ashen.
"This kid actually has the nerve to spend Qingcheng’s money! Shameless!"
In his rage, Huangfu Jie wished he could announce the incident to everyone, to let all see Lin Yi’s true face as a moocher!
"Being able to have a beauty like the Luo Family’s Qingcheng pay for him, Brother Lin Yi is truly a role model for us all."
However, Sikong Xin beside him was full of admiration in his eyes, thoroughly impressed by Lin Yi.
After getting his hands on the Holy Sword Fragments, Lin Yi relaxed completely. At this auction, he had acquired two valuable treasures and could be said to have reaped a rich harvest.
He would no longer get involved with the remaining items, and he no longer had the ability to do so.
The value of the upcoming items became increasingly precious, and their prices gradually breached the ten million Spirit Stone mark.
Very few people were qualified to compete for them.
As item after item sold at the auction, the Wangyue Building’s auction gradually drew to a close.
However, just as Lin Yi was mentally preparing to leave, the object that appeared on the auction stage caused his expression to suddenly freeze with surprise, and then his eyes revealed an unfathomable look!
On the auction stage lay an ancient stele covered in old and intricate patterns, exuding a faint aura of malignance.
The silver-haired elder said, "This stele likely contains some sort of ancient Divine Skills or Secret Technique. Although we at Wangyue Building have been unable to decipher it, once someone does decrypt it, it will be an incredible opportunity, perhaps even a guide for you all to become Saints!"
