C53 The Same Old Trick Again
The same old trick again.
"Young Master Li, this is your Immortal Grass, you must take good care of it!"
Lillian carried the tray to Lee Jiu, bent down, and said softly with her red lips. Spitting out fragrant orchids was simply too beautiful to be taken in, but at this moment, Lee Jiu was like a mute eating yellow rice. She had never thought of buying this Immortal Grass, alright? But when he saw Leng Ning in the private room, he knew that she was a student of the Vast Wave Academy.
But now, he had no choice but to accept it. With a bitter face, he accepted the Immortal Grass. He still had to pay the backstage fees later. Otherwise, he was afraid that he wouldn't even be able to get out of the auction house. After Lillian went on stage, Lee Jiu accepted the Immortal Grass indignantly.
The old man beside Lee Jiu suddenly opened his eyes. There seemed to be an extremely powerful Yuan Power fluctuation flowing in his palm. A hidden killing intent surged within his turbid eyes as he said, "Daring to toy with our Azure Dragon Academy like this, we must make him pay the price. However, you must reflect on yourself properly. You are so hot-headed when doing things! How can you carry the banner of the Azure Dragon Institute's younger generation? "
" Elder Yun, I... " Lee Jiu seemed to be somewhat unconvinced. However, when he saw Elder Yun's cold gaze, he was startled and tactfully shut his mouth.
"That kid upstairs came from the Vast Wave Academy. Even if Green Dragon and Cang Lan don't want to talk to me, I still want to talk about it. You are indeed not as good as that kid upstairs in this aspect. You still need to learn more! " Elder Yun said with a tone that said he failed to meet Elder Yun's expectations. Lee Jiu shut his mouth and quietly listened to Elder Yun's warning.
On the auction stage, Lillian took out another item. That sweet voice was once again emitted, "The next item is an Ink Sinking White Lotus. I believe that some of the top Martial Cultivator in the Ink Sinking White Lotus are aware of it. It is able to possess an exuberant life force when it grows in volcanic lava. Although it is not of much help to one's cultivation... But it can cure old diseases, no matter how serious the injuries are."
"The starting price is 200,000 gold. Each bid must not be lower than 10,000 gold." After speaking, Lillian stood to the side.
"This Ink Sinking White Lotus is the old me's hope. Therefore, I must obtain it! This time, you must remember not to have any conflict with others, and don't let anyone cheat you! " Elder Yun was still a little worried, and he instructed Lee Jiu. He had been poisoned by the venom of the Volcano Python ten years ago, and it had been difficult for him to improve his cultivation for the past ten years. He had been searching for this Ink Sinking White Lotus for a long time, but he had failed. This time, he heard that there was an auction for this Ink Sinking White Lotus in the Stallion Chamber of Commerce. That was why Elder Yun had brought Lee Jiu and the others here. He wanted to obtain this Ink Sinking White Lotus.
If he recovered from his injuries, breaking through to the eighth level of the origin realm wouldn't be a difficult task.
Lee Jiu nodded and said, "I know. Don't worry, teacher."
Then he said, "One million gold!" Everyone was stunned. They looked at Lee Jiu strangely. Why was this fellow so expensive the moment he opened his mouth? Everyone looked at each other, but no one made a bid. After all, although the Ink Sinking White Lotus was a treasure, it was still a treasure. However, it was useless to cultivate and was only used to heal injuries. Therefore, there was no need to fight for it. Some big families did not intend to bid for it either.
In the private room, Jun Ling stroked the jade cup in his hand. Leng Ning and the others beside him were extremely bored as they supported their chins with their hands. "The Immortal Grass is gone. Why don't we leave?" Tang Wenshu and the others nodded in agreement. Indeed, if Loong Feng said that he really couldn't get it, then forget it.
"What's the rush? Didn't you notice that the fellow from Azure Dragon Academy seems to be very interested in the Ink Sinking White Lotus?" Jun Ling's slender fingers rotated the jade cup, and the corners of his mouth curled into a faint smile. Leng Ning curiously looked at him and said, "Yeah, so what?"
Ta! Ta!
Jun Ling placed the jade cup on the table with a calm expression and said, "Immortal Grass... I must obtain it." Immediately, he looked out the window and casually shouted, "Five million!"
Originally, everyone thought that one million was already a very high price. Even Lee Jiu was somewhat proud. It seemed that the Ink Sinking White Lotus was definitely going to be won. However, a sentence suddenly popped up. It was like a bucket of ice water had been poured over his head.
"Five million!"
The moment these words were spoken, a thousand waves were stirred up. The venue was silent for a few seconds. A wave of exclamations erupted. Everyone was whispering to each other as they discussed animatedly. Everyone felt that the bidding this time around was somewhat like playing with fire.
"Oh my god, five million!! Where did this nouveau riche come from?"
"That's right. Looks like I'm going to compete with that guy till the end."
" I was wondering who it was. It's the one in the private room just now. Looks like the owner is really angry. "
...
Everyone was talking about Lee Jiu. Lee Jiu's face was also extremely pale. Elder Yun's eyes were also filled with coldness. A cold light flashed in his eyes as he said, "Continue shouting! One million more." Lee Jiu nodded and shouted, "Six million!"
"Eight hundred thousand!" The voice from the private room was heard again. Everyone looked at Lee Jiu with gloating expressions. Lee Jiu gritted his teeth and said, "Nine million!" This was already close to his limit. However, before he could recover his senses, Jun Ling bid once again. This time, the bid shocked everyone, causing them to feel anxious on the outside and tender on the inside.
"Ten million!"
With the appearance of this price, it was not only the people on the scene and Lee Jiu. Even Lillian couldn't help but be slightly moved. Many people in the BMW Auction House couldn't help but widen their eyes. This was a f * * king word, 'Hao'! These two words were too generous.
"Eleven million!!"
Lee Jiu's eyes turned red and he was also planning to give it a try. On the stage, Lillian felt her legs go soft. Supporting a chair by the side, she sat down slowly. Everyone followed and shouted, "Suppress him!! Suppress him!!" As the saying went, those who watched the show did not think that the matter was too big.
"Since everyone is so interested, then so be it! I'll lower the bid by a little, fifteen million!" When Jun Ling's voice rang out, there was a 'putong' sound behind the auction stage. The boss couldn't help but blush with excitement as he sat down on the floor. It was as if he could already see the golden mountain looking for him.
Fifteen million!! Fifteen million!! That was not one thousand five hundred taels.
"Bastard!" Lee Jiu's face turned completely black. He had already greatly surpassed his own wealth. He definitely didn't have 15 million of silver, and Elder Yun's eyes were glowing with a gloomy light. This time, Lee Jiu didn't bid anymore. Lilian tried her best to suppress the wild joy in her heart. She said with a trembling voice, "Fifteen million going once!"
"Fifteen million going twice."
"Fifteen million thrice! Deal!" Lillian's voice was trembling with excitement. The price of the Ink Sinking White Lotus was fifteen million gold, and it was sold to the Vast Wave Academy at a high price. In the private room, Jun Ling stood up and said, "Let's go. It's time for us to leave."
"Where are we going?" Leng Ning stood beside Jun Ling and asked.
"Wait for the Immortal Grass!" Jun Ling revealed an extremely confident smile and brought Leng Ning and the others to the backstage. The owner of the auction hall was extremely enthusiastic, as if he was going to worship Jun Ling as his ancestor. After paying the bill through the Space Ring, Jun Ling said a few words to the owner in private. Leng Ning and the others didn't hear what he said, but they saw the owner nodding his head repeatedly in agreement. After that, he brought the Ink Sinking White Lotus and left the auction hall.
In the auction hall, Elder Yun's eyes flickered with a cold light, and he said in a cold voice, "They have left. We will immediately follow them and see where they live!" Lee Jiu fiercely nodded his head, gritted his teeth, and ran out with his men. Soon, they saw Jun Ling and the others.
