Cheers erupted after the host said this.
With a satisfied smile on his face, the host didn't waste any time as he said, "Then let's bring out the first item!"
With that, the staff came out from behind him.
This staff member was pushing a cart that had a cloth over it, hiding the item that was placed on the cart.
After pushing that cart out, the staff member stopped by the host who came over to grab the cloth.
Pulling the cloth off, the host said in his loud voice, "The first item that we have is a special one! It's an item that one can't buy easily even if they have money! This is an item that can only be obtained with luck, so I hope that everyone will not miss this chance!"
After pulling the cloth off, there was a burst of spiritual energy that was released.
This burst of spiritual energy was enough to fill the entire hall with spiritual energy, but it wasn't a powerful kind of spiritual energy.
Rather, it was a kind of soft spiritual energy that was like being embraced by a warm blanket.
This was spiritual energy that seemed like it would be good for helping with one's cultivation.
Sitting on the cart was a large chunk of jade, but it was no ordinary jade.
It was pure white snow jade that was sitting there.
As soon as this was revealed, everyone's eyes lit up.
The host didn't say anything as he allowed everyone to admire the piece of jade first, but once he felt that their excitement had been properly raised, he continued by saying, "As everyone can see, this White Frost Jade has the ability to increase the spiritual energy in the surrounding area. Anyone who cultivates with this nearby will be able to achieve twice as much with half the effort. This is a treasure that anyone would love to have."
The eyes of many people lit up even more after they heard this.
Any items that could allow them to cultivate more efficiently was without a doubt welcome by these cultivators.
Especially one that had a very clear effect like this.
So there would certainly be a lot of competition for this first item.
The host saw the excited looks on their faces and he said, "Since this is a special item, naturally it also has a very special price. The starting bid for this White Frost Jade will be a hundred low grade spirit stones and each bid must have an increment of ten low grade spirit stones. Everyone, please don't let this treasure escape your grasp!"
"One thousand spirit stones."
Before anyone else could make a bid, there was someone that directly increased the price by tenfold.
The host was naturally happy to hear this, but everyone else…had ugly expressions on their faces.
This voice came from one of the VIP rooms on the second floor, so everyone immediately looked up at that room. However, the person that had made this bid was sitting down, so they couldn't see who it was.
But it didn't take long for that person to reveal themself.
I stood up and walked to the edge of the balcony, looking down at the White Frost Jade.
When they saw me standing there, there were many people that had confused looks on their faces.
After all, no one was able to recognize me.
That was until someone said, "Wait, isn't that the young master who bought eleven VIP memberships earlier?"
At this, everyone slowly started to recognize who I was.
"Right, he's the one that suddenly threw out a bunch of spirit stones."
"We can't do anything against someone that's that rich…"
"But this White Frost Jade really is something that's hard to find…"
There was a lot of grumbling that came from the crowd until finally someone couldn't take it anymore and said, "One thousand and ten low grade spirit stones."
It was a bid that was almost too embarrassing to make since it was the minimum amount that one could increase the bid by, but the person that made this bid was desperate.
They really wanted this White Frost Jade…
It was just too bad that I didn't have any intention of letting them.
"Ten thousand low grade spirit stones."
Before anyone could even say anything, I increased the amount by ten times of my last bid.
There was no need for this, but wasting money on this auction was considered behaviour worthy of a prodigal. So I had to waste as much money as I could.
As for why I didn't increase it by one hundred times…well, the system only allowed a waste of ten times what the value was. Anything that was wasted after ten times wasn't counted for points, so there was no reason for me to go past ten times.
Everyone took a cold breath when they heard this before looking up at me in shock.
But I was just waiting for someone else to make a bid.
As long as they made another bid, then I would be able to increase it by over ten times again and earn even more points.
But I was disappointed in the end as not a single person made another bid.
Just like this, I was able to win the first item.
With a disappointed sigh, I said, "I guess this thing will make a good seal."
The moment that they heard this, everyone looked up at me in shock. They looked at me as if I had said something very strange, though I just ignored the way that they all looked at me.
Finally, one person couldn't take it anymore and said, "What a prodigal!"
Everyone nodded in agreement when they heard this.
Using this White Frost Jade just to create a seal…if this wasn't being a prodigal, it was hard to say what a prodigal was!
As I sat down, I could see Liu Ao Xue turning away as if she was embarrassed to be seen with me.
But there was a smile on my face as I was in a good mood at having the chance to waste some money.
