Yu Qing Qian felt warm, hearing that everyone was generous enough to support her with spiritual jade when they heard she wanted to snatch it.
“Thank you everyone, but I can still win this deep-sea coral myself. If I need it, I’ll definitely ask.”
Yu Qing Qian didn’t want to compete against the Leng Clan by using other people’s jade to win the deep-sea coral. This would make her look like she was impulsive.
Although she was going to target the Leng Clan to begin with, but she and the Leng Clan sure were each other’s nemesis. What the other party wanted, she happened to want too.
“Alright, if you need anything, just ask.” Cheng Zhuo and the others didn’t force her. Either way, they truly wanted to support Yu Qing Qian and she could ask whenever she needed.
The pupils of the Holy Academy were very united in this regard. If others dared to bully them, then they’d crush them together to find back their stage.
Many pupils of the Imperial Academy also stood on Yu Qing Qian’s side. First, they liked her, and thought that the Leng Clan was bullying too much. Second, Yu Qing Qian had great potential and a straightforward personality, which made her worth befriending.
Of course, there were also those who were unhappy, especially Leng Ling Shuang.
Leng Ling Shuang was eager for the Leng Clan and Yu Qing Qian to fight against each other. These were the two people she hated most in this life, and it’d be best if they fought to the death.
But seeing that the pupils wanted to use their spiritual jade to support Yu Qing Qian to snatch it, Leng Ling Shuang felt very uncomfortable and jealous. She also needed this deep-sea coral!
The auction party was formed by several major chambers of commerce on the continent and the Hai City’s City Lord’s Mansion. During the auction, they also purchased a large number of resources.
After all, many people may not bring enough spiritual jade, so they would considerately exchange goods, and the price was also relatively fair.
Yu Qing Qian called the servant waiting at the door of the private room in, took out an interspatial storage ring and handed it to the other party, “Help me exchange these things for spiritual jade.”
The servants were all trained. He took the ring with a smile, took out a booklet, used spiritual energy to scan the things in the ring, then asked Yu Qing Qian to sign.
This was a kind of security guarantee. The auction in Hai City was organised very well.
The servant withdrew, and the white-haired elderly man below also introduced the deep-sea coral. The last feature specifically targeted the refining of Master-level potions.
“Alright, everyone already knows the value of this deep-sea coral. I won’t say anymore, the auction will begin. The starting price is one hundred thousand spiritual jade.”
This starting price wasn’t very high, and some people from the small and medium-sized families sitting below also followed suit.
“Three hundred thousand.”
“Four hundred thousand.”
The bidding stopped at four hundred thousand below, and the people in the private room began bidding.
“Four hundred and fifty thousand.”
“Five hundred thousand.”
Finally, at ‘six hundred thousand’, fewer people participated in the bidding.
After all, although this deep-sea coral was very precious and useful, it must be in the hands of a Master-level Apothecary, so only a few people really wanted it.
“Seven hundred thousand.” A voice sounded in the private room of the Leng Clan.
The people in the other rooms followed suit and finally stopped at ‘nine hundred and fifty thousand’.
As the Leng Clan was a family of Apothecaries, everyone knew where this deep-sea coral would end up belonging, and they should be determined to obtain it too.
The white-haired elderly man glanced at the rooms on the second floor and said with a smile: “The highest bid is at nine hundred and fifty thousand, are there any higher bids?”
During the auction of the deep-sea coral, no one present thought that Yu Qing Qian would bid, not because they thought she didn’t have the courage, but also because they didn’t think she had the financial resources.
For a junior with the cultivation base of Spirit King, she could be considered wealthy to be able to win the emperor-level Nourishing Soil with two hundred thousand spiritual jades.
Who knew that just when everyone thought that the deep-sea coral was about to fall into the hands of the Leng Clan, a lazy and faint voice sounded.
“One million.”
