Chapter 134 The Lingyun Sect Makes a Bid!
The item was only valued with low-grade spirit stones.
That wasn’t even worth mentioning at all!
“Don’t panic. Isn’t it just a small amount of spirit stones? I find this thing quite interesting. Since you’ve already taken a fancy to it, then buy it!” Jiang Yiming was not anxious at all. Such a small amount of money was really nothing to him.
Seeing Gu Lingfei eager to bid, Jiang Yiming stopped him.
Gu Lingfei was stunned, was his Master going to back on his word?
It would be good if he did, though! After all, even if one had a lot of money, one still shouldn’t waste it like this!
The beginning items in such an auction were only to warm the atmosphere.
If anything, the beginning items were usually not very practical but only interesting. At times like this, it was those factions that had so much money they simply could not finish spending that would raise the bid and have some fun.
Could it be that the Lingyun Sect had already entered the ranks of those who had so much money that they simply could not spend it all?
Gu Lingfei looked at his Master, wanting to hear what his Master had to say.
He only hoped that his Master would change his mind soon! It was not too late to regret it now!
OW.
“Look at the prices they are bidding now. Those are just small numbers, so why are we joining in now?”
The minute Jiang Yiming said this, his disciples were stunned. It can’t be their Master was crazy, right?
“Eighty thousand!”
“Good! The Feiniao Sect has offered a bid of eighty thousand! How generous!”
A young man in the front row stood up and cupped his hands to his surroundings, “This thing looks quite interesting. I want to bring it back and try it out to see if it’s really as amazing as what the Fujin Chamber of Commerce claims.”
“Look at him, so this is how it is to be from a big sect! He doesn’t even bat an eyelid when throwing out eighty thousand spirit stones like that!”
“Those old fellows in that person’s sect haven’t even made a move yet. This is just for the juniors to play with. Later, when there’s really something good, you can watch them make their bids.”
Jiang Yiming raised his head and nodded at his disciples.
“Eighty-five thousand!”
Everyone raised their heads at the same time. They wanted to see who was so unbecoming.
“Don’t you know that you’re embarrassing your Master by being so stingy?” Jiang Yiming looked at Gu Lingfei with some disdain. Huh? He had added a whole five thousand though! Five thousand! This was not a small amount! “What are we here for? We’re here to participate in the auction! You’ve already said it yourself, this is a once-in-a-decade event! Don’t we have to show ourselves?”
That’s right, this time, they were here to let everyone know the strength of the Lingyun Sect! If they were to leave the impression that the Lingyun Sect was trying to act all bravado, that wouldn’t be good!
The disciple from the Feiniao Sect also turned around curiously to see who was so unbecoming.
“The Lingyun Sect? What is that? How can a sect that had relied on the help of others to barely defeat a third-rank family participate in the auction?” The disciple narrowed his eyes.
Alright! Since the other party wanted to play with him, he would play with them! He’d like to see how generous the Lingyun Sect could be!
“Eighty-five thousand? Are you looking down on my sect? I wonder if you’re deliberately trying to raise the price, or if you really want to snatch the thing from me,” The person turned back around and didn’t even look at the Lingyun Sect members. “Hundred thousand!” His tone was full of provocation.
Jiang Yiming stretched out a finger, indicating that if Gu Lingfei wanted to increase the bid, he should do it in units of 10,000.
It was only low-grade spirit stones anyway, so what was there to be concerned about? They could just raise the bid at will!
“110,000!” The Feiyun Sect’s disciple was completely at odds with the Lingyun Sect, and he raised the bid without hesitation.
“Continue to raise the bid. A disciple like him is only one of the more powerful disciples in a large sect. The sect behind him won’t let him play around like this, so what are you afraid of? I’m here! If I ask you to raise the bid, just do it!” Seeing that Gu Lingfei was a little hesitant, Jiang Yiming personally called out the bid.
“130,000!”
When everyone heard this, everyone sucked in a breath of cold air. The current unit was no longer 10,000. It was already up to 20,000!
“150,000!”
The entire place was silent. Even the host was a little dumbfounded. The various large sects here were more or less famous, so as long as one of the sects wanted an impractical like this, they would not fight over it.
But now, the Lingyun Sect was determined to fight it out?
“180,000.”
To be honest, it was not that Jiang Yiming did not care about money. It was just that in his memories, money had been completely useless in the later stages of his previous life.
Besides, with the system, let alone anything else, just with the Treasure-seeking Plate, he could easily find some relics and earn a lot of money.
Speaking of which, he had never used that thing before.
The Feiniao Sect disciple obviously didn’t expect the other party to be so arrogant. He had already raised the bid to 180,000, which was an unrealistic price. No normal person would’ve paid such a price to buy such an item.
“Okay! 210,000!”
“You! Are you trying to test me?!” The Feiniao Sect’s disciple was now almost completely enraged by the other party as he stood up and shouted. “This is an auction, and the bids are based on one’s abilities. It just so happens that I’m quite interested in this item. If you really want it, then can you offer a higher price too, right?” Jiang Yiming was unhurried as he raised his eyebrows.
Seeing his expression, everyone present could not help but wonder. Could it be that this guy called Jiang Yiming and this sect called the Lingyun Sect could really afford the price?
However, most of them still felt that the Lingyun Sect was only here to stir up trouble and raise the price.
They wondered how the Lingyun Sect would take care of matters if the Feiniao Sect’s disciple really gave up.
“250,000!”
“300,000!”
Crazy, this was just crazy. These were the only words in the minds of the audience. Were they really crazy?! “400,000!” “500,000!”
After a few short bids, the price had been raised to 500,000.
Jiang Yiming didn’t have that many low-grade spirit stones left, but one had to remember that the exchange rate for spirit stones of different grades was 1:100!
He didn’t even need to use his high-grade spirit stones. Even if he only used his medium-grade spirit stones to exchange, he would have close to a hundred million low-grade spirit stones!
“Master? Master?”
The disciples of the Lingyun Sect couldn’t understand what Jiang Yiming was thinking. After all, back when they were still in dire straits, the spirit stones that they had to offer to the Huoyun Sect every year were only 1,000 low-grade spirit stones! Just 1,000!
How much was the price bid now?
