20 million was quite a large amount, but that was not the problem.
The problem is the person who gave it. She was able to get 60 million for that cultivation technique just like that without batting an eye, doubling the price twice in a row.
What if Tang Yin raises it to 25? Could he get this?
'Competing with her wouldn't be impossible, I don't know who they are, but if they have that much money and that girl doesn't dare to compete with them, it means they have a high status, but I should be able to compete with them if I choose to pay with cultivation techniques, but...' Tang Yin frowned after thinking this far.
If he chose to pay with another cultivation technique, then he might be done for. Right now, he knows he's hanging on by a thread, and he's almost certain that girl is going to chase after him to take both of his spiritual herbs once he gets out of this auction.
But if he were to reveal that he has more cultivation techniques of such caliber... The situation could be worse.
Maybe even those people in that VIP room could go after him, and being so rich, they should be equally powerful.
So, he had to consider a few things, but...
He couldn't give up.
Tang Yin stared at the heart of the beast in the middle of the auction and made up his mind.
"21 million." He spoke. Being the only one who dared to raise the price this time, something that surprised many of those present, but Tang Yin turned a deaf ear to everything they were talking about, just focused on listening to what was coming out of that room, which he was staring at.
In that room, the woman who was participating looked at the lady, and she nodded to her.
Then she spoke again.
"25 million."
Tang Yin then frowned a little.
Still, he raised the price again.
"30 million." This time at 5 million, and he said it firmly.
This price was already well above the original price this heart of beasts could fetch.
But...
After all, the price was determined by the need of the one who wanted it.
If the one who wanted it needed it urgently, in a life-or-death situation, this heart could cost 100 million or even more.
It all depends on how much the other person needs it.
And Tang Yin doesn't know if that woman who is raising the price needs this heart urgently and so she could drive the price up to a new level.
Thus, tension began to be felt in the atmosphere.
It was the first time someone raised the price twice after the voice from that room had gone out.
The three women in the room frowned slightly.
"Thirty-five million." She said firmly.
Tang Yin was getting more and more scared.
This might be his only chance to get this heart, was it going to slip away from him like this? He thought.
'Should I try to talk it out? 'No, it's a problem because there are so many people. Even if I can help them with a lot of things, it won't do any good if I get killed by all these guys before I do...' He thought, trying to think of a possibility.
Still, he could only raise the price again.
"40 million." He spoke.
It was then that the woman stared into the room that kept steadily increasing the price.
"Young man, are you raising the price because you need it urgently or because you want me to spend more money?" She asked directly.
She was not afraid of any of the people present at this auction, so she could speak freely.
Tang Yin was a little surprised to receive this question, but he smiled and apologized. He saw an opportunity to do something.
"I'm sorry, miss. I don't plan to take it out on you. As a bidder in this auction who has gone out of her way to prove what wants and doesn't use dirty tactics to get it, I respect you. But this is a very necessary item for me. I dare not say that I can give you something of equal value because I don't know how important such an item is to you, but if you can let me get it, I will be immensely grateful and promise to make it up to you at some point in the future. If you can't, that's fine, you can continue the auction, but I won't stop until I get it." Tang Yin replied sincerely.
There was nothing better than being sincere in this life, sincerity is the key to making good friends, after all.
Even the three women in that room were surprised that this person, who had been strongly opposing Wang Yuwen, was so cordial and sincere.
Besides…
"This guy is quite smart and knows how to choose the words he will use. Hehe, miss, should we fight him to the end? We could see to what extent his riches are." Said the woman as she looked at the beautiful lady in the middle of the room.
For hours she had not moved from that spot and was already exhausted.
She also did not expect this young man who left a confused impression on her to be so cordial, so she hesitated for a moment.
"Is it hard to get this item if we let it go?" She asked softly, and the woman in front of her shook her head with a smile.
"I don't think so, we should be able to get it from the Desert Sect, but you should be prepared for those people to bother you for a few days." She replied.
The lady then frowned.
'Desert Sect... Annoying...' She thought, not knowing what to do.
"Can it be beneficial if we don't increase further?" She asked again, a somewhat confused question, but one that was understood perfectly by the two women here.
It was then that the woman in front of her stood thinking for a moment.
In the end, she could only sigh.
"I don't know, it's a normal person who might die tonight. There are more than 12 Spiritual Kings surrounding the auction and the city, they are all waiting for him to come out. I don't know if he can escape that." He answered truthfully.
The lady then frowned even more, but after a moment, she relaxed and made up her mind...
...
During that time of silence, Tang Yin's heart pounded in his chest.
He was nervous because whatever decision this person made could be crucial for him.
A few minutes later, he heard the same voice.
As soon as he heard it, he was startled.
"Hahaha, the Young Man is really a smart person and a good talker. Since you need it so much to say that, then I hope you will put it to good use. Good luck and I sincerely hope to see you in the future." She replied calmly, retiring from the auction.
These words were like beautiful bells ringing in Tang Yin's ears.
Those few words brought a great relief to his mind.
He had been so nervous these few minutes, that when he heard those words, he fell into his seat with great relief.
He even sweated for a moment.
If he was going to leave here running away, at the very least, he should have everything he needed in his inventory, that would give him peace of mind and the motivation to leave this place.
So, this was a great relief to him, and he immediately thanked her.
"Thank you very much, miss. I hope to see you in the future." Tang Yin said happily, and that was when the auctioneer started the countdown, announcing that Tang Yin had obtained the heart of the beast for 40 million spiritual gold coins.
The words of that woman had left more than one confused, especially those in Wang Yuwen's room, but there was little they could do.
Tang Yin seeing that the state of the auction was one of confusion because of what had happened, took advantage of that moment of bewilderment to leave his room quickly and went down to the floor below, running to the reception.
He was not going to stop.
He knew very well that, from this moment on, he was going to face quite a difficult situation for him.
The most difficult he had faced so far since he came into this world.
After arriving at the VIP reception, he swiped the salesman's token he had been given earlier.
There were not many people in this place, but Tang Yin could feel several people staring at him. They already knew of his presence in this place.
'There are a lot of them... Several Spirit Kings and even more Spirit Ancestors. It's dangerous...' Tang Yin thought with a frown.
"Young Master, here. The heart of the beast you just obtained and all the remaining money for its sale." Said the receptionist as she handed him some gold striped money cards, the maximum issued in this world that could hold 5 million coins, and a storage bag, where the heart of the beast was.
Tang Yin nodded and received everything that belonged to him, then looked at her with a smile.
"May I ask where the bathroom is? Spending many hours in that room has made me a little sick to my stomach." Tang Yin said with an embarrassed smile.
The receptionist looked at him in confusion.
