And those monks who couldn't afford the price in the first place naturally didn't dare to speak rashly at this time.
They had not known He Song's identity before.
They thought He Song's cultivation was merely at the Foundation Establishment Realm.
It wouldn't have mattered much to bid then.
After all, at the time, He Song hadn't revealed his true cultivation level, and bidding among Foundation Establishment Cultivators was nothing significant.
But if He Song had clearly stated his identity,
by the time He Song spoke, participating in the contest for the cultivator's Golden Core, his identity had automatically transformed from a Foundation Establishment True Person to a Golden Elixir Master.
A Golden Elixir Master was now bidding against other Masters.
How could those Foundation Establishment True Persons take part in it?
If they spoke at this time, they would likely offend He Song instantly, and also offend the other Golden Elixir Masters at the same time.
