The cultivator who loudly claimed to buy the hairpin outright at the auction scoffed, "So what? No matter what the starting price is, I'm offering ten billion top-grade spiritual stones. If anyone can top that, feel free to bid higher!"
The entire auction hall fell silent, everyone staring blankly at the man.
Yu Qi quickly interjected, "Ladies and gentlemen, this one-of-a-kind top-grade hairpin with three-attribute attack and defense has a current bid of ten billion top-grade spiritual stones. If no one bids higher by the count of three, it will be his!"
"Ten billion, going once, ten billion, going twice..."
"I bid eleven billion!"
Someone shouted and wiped the sweat off their forehead, adding, "Damn, almost got fooled by that kid, nearly forgot to up the bid!"
"Hey!"
"Even though that hairpin has Ice and Fire attribute attacks and I can't use them to the fullest with my Gold attribute, I still want to compete. I bid fifteen billion top-grade spiritual stones. Carry on..."
