Chapter 713: Competition
“…… Who bought that Jiuhua Thousand Heart Lotus?"
In the middle of the room, a majestic voice sounded in a closed VIP suite: "Although this thing is not particularly urgently needed for us, if it falls into the hands of those few people and the people who are used to train them, it will not be good news for us after all." ”
The one who spoke was a middle-aged man in a fancy dress with a gloomy expression, and his every move carried the majesty of the superior, and the momentum full of oppression made the people around him feel like cicadas, and they didn't dare to come out.
"My lord, if the subordinates' estimation is not wrong, that mysterious buyer may be from the family of the Grand Duke of Qilong, so it is inconvenient for our people to interfere directly. A fat young man with a round head and a round brain hurriedly reported.
The middle-aged man's eyes were slightly condensed, and there was a hint of jealousy in his expression: "Yang Tingxiong? What does he want this thing for? Isn't his family without similar resources, as for spending a lot of money to buy it here?"
Three and a half million star crystals is already a huge amount of money for a big man like the duke, although he has the ability to take it out, he must also think about it. After all, in their position, there are too many places to spend money on all aspects. It is impossible to pay such an obviously high price just for a Jiuhua Thousand Heart Lotus, unless there is a special reason.
After thinking about it, the middle-aged man stopped pondering this question and said, "Okay, forget it." Next, you all keep an eye on it, and if anyone buys any equipment or cultivation resources that can improve your personal cultivation, you must find out their origin and identity as soon as possible. The next generation of Saint Venerable Inheritance Test is about to begin, and Lord Star Venerable doesn't want any more accidents!"
Several subordinates respectfully agreed.
At this moment, at the booth, as the gorgeous golden curtain was slowly unveiled, a beautiful equipment box with cyan light and shadow appeared in front of everyone. There is also a stereoscopic projection introduction next to it, which looks like a strangely shaped battle armor.
“…… Ladies and gentlemen, this is a strange artifact from a lost civilization, a special weapon, or a stand-in puppet, that can be perfectly integrated with carbon-based creatures. After testing and research by the professionals in the organization, after it is integrated with the supernatural, it can allow the master to exert combat power beyond his own three ranks, which is effective for demigod-level powerhouses. The senior auctioneer enthusiastically introduced.
Zhao Xinglan's expression became solemn, stared at the equipment for a while, and said thoughtfully: "This thing, it seems to be prepared for me?
"Not necessarily, every time there is a big auction, there are a lot of items from ancient lost civilizations. This is just one of them. ”
Yang Yufei said with a smile: "The opportunity is rare, you must take it down, my sister still has five million star crystals here, I will lend them to you." ”
"That's right, how can such a good thing be given to others?" Zhao Xinglan nodded and began to prepare to bid.
Even if she doesn't understand it very well, she can see that this thing is a veritable strategic-level equipment in today's Star Sea World. Judging from the specific combat power it has shown, this weapon already belongs to the ranks of sub-artifact equipment, and it is a highly cherished killer weapon in any major force.
I don't know if this armor is the only one, or if there are many of them, if it can appear on the battlefield in batches, it will definitely cause unimaginable disasters to the enemy.
Normally. This powerful weapon is basically not used for external sales, and it is extremely rare even among the top auction houses. This time, I can see one thing appear, which shows how strong the network power of this auction house is.
At this moment, bidding had already begun in the field, and in just one minute, the price soared from one million star crystals at the beginning to two million, then two and a half million, and then three million......
Zhao Xinglan saw that it was almost over, and finally began to participate in the bidding: "Three million and three hundred thousand!"
Immediately afterwards, a gloomy voice came from the suite on the lower floor: "Three million and four hundred thousand!"
"Three and a half million!" an elegant and pleasant female voice came from an enclosed suite.
"Three million six thousand!" an old hoarse voice came slowly.
"Three million seven million!"
……
Due to the high-end equipment making masters, plus the rarity of the required materials, it is difficult to find. As a result, it is impossible for high-end ability equipment to be mass-produced on a large scale, even if it is not too much in the treasury of a six-star interstellar power, so its preciousness can be imagined.
It is not easy for most high-level abilities to improve their cultivation, so in order to strengthen their combat power, they can only find another way, such as getting a few pieces of equipment that are as good as possible. Especially this rare sub-artifact, as long as it encounters it, it will never be let go easily.
Therefore, these dignitaries present, especially the commissioners representing certain big forces and organizations, will grab them no matter what.
With this treasure in hand, maybe one day in the future it will become a key life-saving reliever. So whenever possible. No one wants to admit defeat easily and give up this sharp weapon to others. Missed this time. It's hard to say how long we'll have to wait next time.
A moment later, the price was already approaching the threshold of six million star crystals, and it was still rising.
The price is already quite staggering, and most of the bidders have no choice but to give up and quit because of their lack of strength, but there are still more than a dozen buyers who continue to compete.
"This thing is more important, and it can't fall into the hands of those guys. The middle-aged man in the suite said coldly.
"But my lord, we don't have enough money on hand. A subordinate whispered.
"What's the matter, didn't we still have 30 million star crystals in our account when we came in?" the middle-aged man asked unhappily.
"Yes, but it's already been spent. The fat young man whispered.
In the previous auction, there were several mixed-race and stunning female slaves with noble blood, as well as some treasured jewels from the royal families of big countries, so they were all bought by this guy for private purposes, and spent a lot of star crystals, and these subordinates didn't dare to say anything.
The middle-aged man frowned, and finally said, "Okay, transfer the reserve budget for the next quarter to the emergency first, and no matter what, we can't let this thing fall into the hands of outsiders." ”
At this time, the atmosphere in the venue became more and more solemn, and the wordless pressure made the nerves of the competitors more and more tense.
"Seven million and one million!" Zhao Xinglan said leisurely.
The cold voice gritted its teeth and said, "Seven million and two hundred thousand!"
"Seven million three thousand!" the elegant and pleasant female voice continued to come from the suite.
An icy and cool voice came: "Seven million four hundred thousand!"
"Seven and a half million!"
There was silence for two seconds, and then the majestic and cold voice continued, "Eight million!"
The auction hall was quieter all of a sudden, and most of the competitors had given up their bids at the moment, after all, they still had hope for a better alternative at this price point. Even if it's a secondary artifact, it's not worth being so sought after.
The door to a suite on the fifth floor suddenly opened, and a well-dressed young man who looked quite a status walked out. Leaning against the railing and looking around, politely said:
"Distinguished friends, I am Yuan Huang, the special envoy of Xuanlong Xingzun, taking care of some chores outside for his old man. Just now, Lord Xingzun has already sent a message, saying that this thing is very important to him, so I hope everyone can make it convenient and give up bidding for this sub-artifact. Lord Xingzun will not forget your kindness, otherwise, you will be embarrassed by Lord Xingzun, and you will bear the consequences!"
"Xuanlong Star Venerable?" Zhao Xinglan was a little surprised, she didn't expect that one of the three Star Venerables guarding the Star Hall would all make a move.
There are many students of his own teacher, Xinghao Saint Venerable, and the highest and most powerful cultivation is these three powerhouses who have won the title of Star Venerable, and of course, several other senior star masters should not be underestimated.
It's just that since it must be a competitor or even an enemy in the future, she doesn't plan to save face for the other party.
"Eight million and one million!" she opened her mouth slightly, and continued to increase the price lightly.
Yuan Huang's face was a little unnatural, he didn't expect that his name would work at all, wasn't the other party afraid of Lord Xingzun's anger?
"Eight million two hundred thousand!" the elegant and pleasant female voice continued to come from the suite.
"8,300,000 ......"
Yuan Huang's face became ugly, according to this trend, he couldn't compete with these wealthy masters at all, because the activity funds in his hands were not unlimited. If you mess up the errand, you won't be able to explain it to Lord Xingzun when you go back.
At this time, the door of a suite on the third floor also opened, and Yan Minghua, who had a cold appearance and a bumpy figure, also walked out, glanced at Yuan Huang disapprerovingly, and said indifferently: "It's a coincidence that we meet again." ”
“…… It turned out to be Senior Sister Yan's coming, which was really an honor. ”
Yuan Huangpi said with a smile: "It's just that this thing is quite important to Lord Xuanlong Xingzun, and I hope that Senior Sister will make it convenient, and there will be heavy thanks in the future!"
Yan Minghua smiled coldly, increased the price again, and then said lightly: "I'm sorry, Lord Xuanyue Xingzun also took a fancy to this equipment, so I can't help it! I hope that Senior Brother will make it convenient for you, I will remember your favor." ”
"You ......"
Yuan Huang's face darkened, and he said coldly: "Okay, since you must be embarrassed by Lord Xuanlong Xingzun, then let's go and see!"
At this time, the quotation in the field has soared to 9 million! The faces of several competitors have become uneasy, and this price has far exceeded the bottom line of everyone's psychological tolerance.
In fact, compared to the cost of sub-artifact equipment, this price is already very high, but in view of its function and manufacturing difficulty, as well as the role it can play at critical moments, this price is still acceptable for those big forces with strong enough funds.
"Nine million and one million!" Yuan Huang gasped and gritted his teeth and added again.
Zhao Xinglan was unmoved: "Nine million and two hundred thousand!"
Yuan Huang said with a pale face: "Where did you come from, what good will it do you to offend Lord Xuanlong Xingzun?"
"Xuanlong Xingzun, what is that?" Zhao Xinglan said lightly.
"You...... Who is it? Do you dare to come out of it?" Yuan Huang couldn't help but be angry, and said viciously, and his hand subconsciously touched his waist.
The door of the suite opened silently, and a girl in a purple dress with a slender figure, quiet beautiful eyes, and delicate facial features walked out elegantly. The mysterious and far-reaching temperament, the perfect beauty like a sculpture, the demeanor of the country and the city, and the beauty everywhere on the body.
Because the auction bidding has entered a critical moment, and the conversation between the two has attracted the attention of the people around them, Zhao Xinglanfu attracted the attention of almost everyone in the audience as soon as he appeared.
"Hmm, it's you!" Yan Minghua's face changed slightly.
At this time, there were less than four people in the field who were still competing, Zhao Xinglan's eyes stared at Yuan Huang, and said calmly: "Ten million!"
There was silence in the auction room, and the remaining competitors looked at each other, shook their heads, and gave up their bids.
Seeing such a stunning beauty appear, Yuan Huang was stunned for a moment, his attitude suddenly became a little polite, and asked: "I don't know which country this beautiful young lady is from?
Zhao Xinglan smiled faintly and said leisurely: "The rules of the auction hall have always been won by the highest bidder, and it has nothing to do with the origin of the identity or anything, so I don't feel the need to make concessions to your master." ”
“……”
Yuan Huang's face was difficult to look at again, and he was about to scold, Yan Minghua said lukewarmly: "Beautiful Miss Zhao Xinglan, why are you so troubled? If you don't go to the palace to be your imperial concubine, you will be involved in the troubled waters of the Holy Venerable Inheritance Test, with your shallow cultivation, I am afraid that in the end, there will be no bones and scum left that will be eaten!"
"Well, it turns out that you are Zhao Xinglan?!"
Yuan Huang was stunned for a moment, and then his expression became indescribably cold and hideous, and he sneered again and again: "I see, I see, I just said why do you have to stare at this thing? It turns out that you are not self-conscious, and you want to mix in and destroy Lord Xingzun's plan? Do you know what you are doing?"
Zhao Xinglan smiled faintly and said leisurely: "The rules of the auction hall have always been won by the highest bidder, and it has nothing to do with the origin of the identity or anything, so I don't feel the need to make concessions to your master." ”
“……”
Yuan Huang's face was difficult to look at again, and he was about to scold, Yan Minghua said lukewarmly: "Beautiful Miss Zhao Xinglan, why are you so troubled? If you don't go to the palace to be your imperial concubine, you will be involved in the troubled waters of the Holy Venerable Inheritance Test, with your shallow cultivation, I am afraid that in the end, there will be no bones and scum left that will be eaten!"
"Well, it turns out that you are Zhao Xinglan?!"
