Chapter 21 The Struggle
However, after all, the people who need the Soul Condensing Pill are only strong martial artists, and other martial artists will not be able to use them even if they buy them back for the time being. What's more, 90,000 is no longer a small amount, even for the strong martial artists, it is still a lot of pressure, so the price rise is becoming slower and slower.
"Ninety thousand! Please give me Ye Hu a face, give up the bid for this bottle of Soul Condensing Pill, I, Ye Hu, will definitely remember it in my heart and never forget your kindness!"
Just when there were fewer and fewer bidders, a voice that was somewhat familiar to Ye Ye sounded in the crowd.
Ye Ye turned his head in surprise and found that it was none other than Ye Hu, the only martial artist powerhouse in their Ye family besides Ye Tian and himself!
Ye Hu is Ye Xiong's eldest brother, but the two have very different temperaments. Ye Xiong, like his father Ye Zhennan, likes to fight for power and profit, but Ye Hu is fond of cultivation, and before Lin Yushi showed amazing talent, he was always the first person in the younger generation of the Ye family.
Ye Hu had already joined the Shenwu Hall many years ago and became an official disciple of the Shenwu Palace, and now he had stepped into the ranks of elite disciples. If there was someone in the Ye family who could get the eye of Lin Yu poetry before, then there was no one else except Ye Hu.
After Ye Hu joined the Shenwu Palace, he had been immersed in cultivation, and even cut off contact with the Ye family. It was rumored that he was now only one step away from the realm of martial spirits, and this time he showed a rare urgent and strong side for the Soul Condensing Pill, which couldn't help but remind people of whether he had entered the most critical sprint stage.
"It turned out to be Ye Hu, the low-key genius of the Ye family!"
"He is now an elite disciple of the Divine Martial Palace, there is no benefit in offending him, let's give up!"
"Yes, yes, although the Ye family is nothing, but the power of the Divine Martial Hall is too strong, and we can't compete with it!"
After Ye Hu spoke out, there was a lot of discussion in the hall, and most of the martial artists were unwilling to continue bidding to be Ye Hu's enemy.
Although most of these martial artists are from one hall and three villages, the martial artists in these four major forces are also superior and inferior, and Ye Hu belongs to the group of people who are more outstanding, so few people are willing to offend.
Ye Ye also guessed that Ye Hu planned to use this bottle of Soul Condensing Pill to advance to the realm of martial spirits, so he was naturally unwilling to let go of this good opportunity to extort bamboo and bargain. He was not afraid that Ye Hu would be promoted to Martial Spirit, but he was afraid that his Soul Condensing Pill would not sell at the highest price.
"I also need this bottle of Soul Condensing Pill, I'll give you ninety-five thousand!"
While the other martial artists in the hall were silent, Ye Ye suddenly opened his mouth to ask for a price, ignoring Ye Hu's slightly threatening speech just now. However, he was afraid that Ye Hu would be deterred by the high price, so he only increased the price slightly, in case the Soul Condensing Pill ended up in his hands.
As soon as the words fell, the eyes of the entire auction hall were focused on Ye Ye, including Ye Hu himself.
Although the two have not seen each other for many years, they are also children of the Ye family, and Ye Hu naturally recognized Ye Ye in an instant. In fact, in addition to looking for an opportunity to break through, Ye Ye is also a reason for his exit this time.
Even if Ye Hu was obsessed with cultivation and unwilling to interfere in the Ye family's power struggle, he was still Ye Zhennan's son and Ye Xiong's eldest brother after all. When he was cultivating in the Shenwu Palace, he learned that Ye Xiong was beaten into a waste by Ye Ye, and Ye Zhennan was also deprived of all power because he offended the head of the family, Ye Tian, so naturally it was not good to ignore it anymore, and planned to return to the Ye family to show his support for them.
Although Ye Hu also knew very well that Ye Xiong and Ye Tian were basically to blame, if he really left him to fend for himself, it was obviously too unkind.
It's just that Ye Hu didn't expect to meet Ye Ye here, and when the two looked at each other, there seemed to be a trace of sparks in the air.
"Hehe, it's interesting, the children of the Ye family actually fought by themselves. I was going to wait for the Soul Condensing Pill to be auctioned before it was concluded, but now I can't wait!"
In the auction hall, Li Gan, who had been observing everything in the crowd, showed a playful smile on his face.
Without waiting for Ye Hu and Ye Ye to continue to increase the price, Li Gan suddenly stood up, and after glancing down at everyone in the auction hall, he said in a tone that was a hundred times more arrogant than Ye Hu: "I will pay 95,000 and 100, and no one is allowed to rob me again!" I am a disciple of Wu Tian, the Great Elder of the Shenwu Palace, I am determined to get this bottle of Soul Condensing Pill, if any of you are determined to be my enemy, continue to increase the price!"
Li Gan's words made the martial artists in the auction hall frown, and their hearts were extremely angry. However, Li Gan moved out of the Great Elder of the Shenwu Hall as the backstage, which was more awe-inspiring than Ye Hu, the elite disciple of the Shenwu Palace, so that everyone dared to be angry and did not dare to speak, so they could only set their eyes on Ye Hu and Ye Ye, hoping that the two of them could help them vent their evil anger without fear of power.
Ye Hu frowned and glanced at Li Gan, but his yearning for the realm of martial spirits obviously outweighed his jealousy of the Great Elder, so he only hesitated a little and raised the price again: "Li Gan, I am not afraid of you when others are afraid of you! I will give ninety-six thousand, and the Soul Condensing Pill can only be mine!"
"You!"
Li Qian looked at Ye Hu angrily, and when he was about to continue the threat, Ye Ye on the side was also not to be outdone.
"Ninety-seven! If you have the ability, you will continue to follow!"
After Ye Ye raised the price, he sat in his seat for a while, as if the clouds were light and light, and he didn't care about the smell of gunpowder in the auction hall at all.
"Ninety-eight thousand!"
Ye Hu gritted his teeth and raised the price again, and the atmosphere became more and more tense.
Seeing that the competition between several people had reached a fever pitch, Fairy Feng also showed a hint of nervousness on her face. In fact, she was already very satisfied that the Soul Condensing Pill could be auctioned at this price so far, and the Phoenix Fairy believed that Ye Ye was also very clear in her heart, so she guessed that there would be a result soon in this bidding.
Sure enough, after Ye Ye heard Ye Hu's bid, he seemed to finally feel the pressure, and gave up the competition after a moment of hesitation on his face.
Seeing this, Li Gan showed a sneer of disdain on his face, and focused all his attention on Ye Hu: "Ninety-eight thousand one! I want to see how long you can hold on?"
A trace of coldness flashed in Ye Hu's eyes when he looked at Li Gan, but he still didn't mean to give up, and spoke again: "Ninety thousand nine!"
"Ninety-nine thousand one!"
"One hundred thousand!"
When Ye Hu shouted out the price of 100,000 yuan, Li Gan's face finally showed a look of struggle.
Originally, his target this time was the purple ginseng that was used as the finale auction item, but he didn't expect to encounter the high-quality Soul Condensing Pill that he also needed very much, so he couldn't help but make a move. But now the price of the Soul Condensing Pill has far exceeded his expectations, even if he has strong financial resources, if he continues to fight with Ye Hu, even if he finally gets the Soul Condensing Pill, he will definitely not have the capital to compete for that purple ginseng anymore.
After weighing the pros and cons, Li Qian finally gave up continuing to compete for the Soul Condensing Pill and decided to save his strength to concentrate on competing for the next purple ginseng. However, he also hated Ye Hu because of this, and made up his mind to give him an unforgettable lesson in the future!
After Li Gan gave up the fight and sat down again, the Phoenix Fairy immediately announced that Ye Hu had successfully bought the Soul Condensing Pill at a price of 100,000, and the auction hall suddenly burst into an uproar.
Because they didn't expect that the finale of the auction had not yet appeared, and the price of the auction item had already exceeded the 100,000 mark. The buyers, who had never seen anything like this before, were so stunned that they almost gave up on making a profit in the next auction.
And as the atmosphere of the auction became more and more enthusiastic, the smile on the face of the phoenix fairy became brighter. Finally, when the last item of the auction, the purple ginseng, was brought out, the atmosphere in the auction hall reached its highest point.
"This is the finale of our auction, Purple Ginseng, a natural treasure that can improve a martial artist's physique without any side effects. Although this purple ginseng is still a few years away from fully maturing, it is enough for a martial artist. The starting price is 70,000 yuan, and the bidding starts now!"
Fairy Feng didn't say much about the origin of purple ginseng, because she believed that everyone in the auction hall already knew about it quite well.
Although purple ginseng cannot directly improve the cultivation of a martial artist, it can instantly enhance the physique of a strong martial artist, and to some extent, it is more scarce than the heavenly and earthly treasures that improve cultivation.
What's more, martial artists who urgently need purple ginseng are generally genius martial artists who have cultivated rapidly but lack actual combat ability. In order to make up for the shortcomings of this martial artist, the forces where the genius martial artist belongs sometimes don't care about money at all, because every genius is their hope.
Therefore, after the phoenix fairy announced the start of the bidding, the buyers who targeted the purple ginseng began to shout one after another, and the atmosphere reached its peak in an instant.
"I'll give seventy-five thousand!"
"Seventy-five thousand is nothing, I'll give eighty thousand directly!"
"I bid 90,000 yuan, who wants to compete with me?"
"Only 90,000 is still talking wildly, I will directly pay 100,000!"
In just a moment, the price of purple ginseng has passed the 100,000 mark, and it continues to rise.
Although the purple ginseng in this auction is still close to being fully matured, it is enough for a martial artist. If it is a thoroughly ripe purple ginseng, it is also a rare treasure for martial spirit powerhouses, and its value will definitely increase several times, and it is not at all what these people can afford now.
Ye Ye watched these buyers keep bidding in the crowd, and he was also hesitating whether to participate in the bidding.
Although he himself has a lot of practical experience, and the need for purple ginseng is not so urgent, but the thought that this purple ginseng can be strengthened into a completely mature purple ginseng with the strengthening function of the system, Ye Ye is a little impatient.
Because the value of thoroughly ripe purple ginseng is extremely high, several times that of immature purple ginseng, if Ye Ye can spend some price to take the purple ginseng and strengthen it, he can get a huge profit from changing hands, so that his value skyrockets.
Although his goal of selling the Soul Condensing Pill this time was mainly to exchange for the Ascending Spirit Pill to advance to the Martial Spirit Realm, if he wanted to continue to improve after being promoted to the Martial Spirit, the amount of universal coins needed would be a huge amount.
First of all, his current Heaven Swallowing Decision is only applicable to the Martial Master Stage, and the Heaven Swallowing Decision of the Martial Spirit Stage requires a lot of price;
Secondly, Ye Ye's Qing Manggong also has realm restrictions, once he is promoted to martial spirit, he must exchange a new martial art to give full play to the potential of his martial soul;
Finally, with the improvement of the realm, the elixirs and heavenly treasures that can increase Ye Ye's cultivation become more and more precious, and Ye Ye must increase the intensity of recharge if he wants to exchange them through the universal recharge system.
