"Yes."
Looking at the spirit of the weapon who didn't seem to be joking at all, Fang Chen couldn't help but look at the arena with a wry smile. Seeing that no one was bidding for a long time, he turned to look at the waiter waiting aside and said, "One low-grade profound crystal."
"One... low-grade profound crystal?" The waiter was stunned for a moment, thinking he had heard wrong. Then seeing Fang Chen nod, he immediately regained his composure and shouted, "One low-grade profound crystal!"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the arena looked at Box No. 2. Then there was a burst of laughter.
Seeing this, Ruò Qiu's face was embarrassed for a moment. Then she chuckled again. "Is there anyone else bidding?"
"One medium-grade profound crystal!"
Seeing someone bidding, Fang Chen smiled slightly and looked at the waiter.
"One medium-grade profound crystal plus one low-grade profound crystal!"
As this bidding sound came out, the arena instantly boiled.
"This is definitely a grudge, right? Is there such a way to bid?"
"Anyway, they are all sick. Does it matter how they are sick?"
"That's right. Hahaha. Who would buy such a thing except a rich fool..."
Listening to everyone's discussions, Fang Chen's mouth twitched slightly. Damn it. What do you idiots know!
"Ten medium-grade profound crystals!"
"Ten medium-grade profound crystals plus one low-grade profound crystal."
Fang Chen instructed the waiter that no matter how much the other party increased the price, he just needed to add one more low-grade profound crystal than him. Then he leisurely drank tea and constantly scanned the arena with his eyes, looking for the person bidding against him...
"Twenty medium-grade profound crystals!"
After half a day of bidding, this bead was finally auctioned at a sky-high price. Seeing that the price was already much higher than at the beginning, the waiter looked at Fang Chen with a questioning look.
Feeling a pain in his heart, but remembering that the spirit of the weapon had told him to get this bead at all costs, Fang Chen nodded helplessly.
"Twenty medium-grade profound crystals plus one low-grade profound crystal!"
As the waiter shouted this time's increased price, a fierce killing intent instantly enveloped Box No. 2. Fang Chen's heart was shocked. Then he looked over and met a pair of dark eyes.
"Ouch..." This feeling of being stared at by a poisonous snake made Fang Chen couldn't help but take a deep breath. Fortunately, after that person just looked at Fang Chen and then straightened his black robe and turned to leave.
"Eh? This person's aura is so strange." As the spirit of the weapon's voice sounded, Fang Chen came to his senses. Then he immediately found that his back was full of cold sweat.
Spending twenty medium-grade profound crystals plus one low-grade profound crystal to buy a broken bead. He not only acted like a fool but also offended a powerful person for no reason. Thinking of this, Fang Chen couldn't help but helplessly raise his hand and rub his forehead...
"The next item to be auctioned is the previously set finale, the Taiji Returning Heaven Jade! I believe everyone already knows the efficacy of this treasure very clearly. Then Ruò Qiu won't say more. The starting bidding price is twenty top-grade profound crystals. The bidding begins!" Seeing that the arena was already boiling, Ruò Qiu didn't delay anymore. Immediately, she lifted the red cloth. A jade pendant that was completely translucent and constantly had purple air flowing inside appeared in front of everyone.
"Twenty-five top-grade profound crystals!"
"Twenty-six top-grade profound crystals!"
"Thirty top-grade profound crystals!"
"Thirty-five top-grade profound crystals..."
As the bidding sound from Box No. 1 came out, there were successive bidding sounds. Fang Chen frowned slightly. The spirit of the weapon had said before that besides being the key material for refining the Life-Extending Pill, this Taiji Returning Heaven Jade only had the effect of slowing down the passage of life force. Why would so many people want it?
You should know that starting from reaching the Xuan Zong Realm, even if one truly starts one's own cultivation path, one's lifespan at this time has already increased to three hundred years. From then on, every time one advances to a major realm, one's lifespan will increase by about double. After reaching the Xuan Saint Realm, one's lifespan will increase to around three thousand years. If one ascends, then one's lifespan will be calculated in tens of thousands of years.
The bidding sounds rose and fell one after another. In just a short while, it had already climbed to seventy top-grade profound crystals. Listening to the continuous bidding sounds, Fang Chen was slightly stunned and murmured, "What does being alive mean to you?"
"Only by being alive can one protect the people one wants to protect."
The voice coming from beside him made Fang Chen stunned. Then he looked back and found that there was an unwavering determination in Little Monkey's eyes that he had never seen before.
A faint smile curved on the corner of his mouth. Fang Chen looked at the waiter waiting aside and nodded slightly.
"Eighty top-grade profound crystals!"
After this bidding sound came out from Box No. 2, there was a sudden silence around. Then it was like an explosion.
"Who is the person in Box No. 2? They actually added five top-grade profound crystals at once!"
"Isn't Box No. 2 exclusive to the Lin family?"
"It was originally, but as soon as he came, the Lin family moved back to Box No. 3."
"Ouch... No wonder. Presumably, it must be a remarkable big shot..."
A big shot? The smile on Fang Chen's mouth became even stronger. In that case, how can I let you down!
"Eighty-one top-grade profound crystals!"
Hearing the bidding sound coming from Box No. 1, Fang Chen nodded again. The waiter immediately understood. "Eighty-five top-grade profound crystals!"
At this time, the auction house had completely fallen into silence. Almost everyone who had the qualification to enter knew that Box No. 1 was exclusive to the Wan family, the overlord of the Four-sided City. Daring to challenge the Wan family at this moment, either one has lived too long or one simply doesn't take the Wan family seriously.
"Eighty-six top-grade profound crystals!"
The bidding sound came from Box No. 1 again. After a long time, there was no more bidding sound in the arena. After all, no one is stupid. Even the Lin family, the Ye family, and the Wang family have to avoid its edge at this time. Who would be stupid enough to seek death by themselves.
"Ninety top-grade profound crystals!" Seeing Fang Chen nod, the waiter hesitated for a moment. Then suddenly remembering the instructions of the person in charge, he immediately shouted.
"We are from the Wan family. Please, friends in Box No. 2, show mercy!" A cold female voice sounded from Box No. 1. Although these words were relatively polite, there was more threat in the tone.
"Ninety-one top-grade profound crystals!" That cold female voice sounded again.
Just when everyone thought that the owner of Box No. 2 was going to back down, Fang Chen suddenly said indifferently, "One hundred top-grade profound crystals."
"Bang!" As soon as Fang Chen's words fell, there was a sound of something being smashed in Box No. 1.
Is this the mentality of the young people of the Wan family? Fang Chen gently shook his head and then leaned back on the chair and closed his eyes to rest.
In the looks of everyone looking at each other, the Taiji Returning Heaven Jade fell into Fang Chen's hands at the price of one hundred top-grade profound crystals.
