"If no one else bids, then this Gathering Spirit Pellet will be sold to Master Cheng for the price of 350,000 Hidden Spirit Pellets. Congratulations, Master Cheng!" Yun Ran announced with a smile.
The Gathering Spirit Pellet ended up in Cheng Shan's pocket.
However, Cheng Shan couldn't feel happy at all.
He had spent 350,000 to purchase a pill that only required 200,000 Hidden Spirit Pellets!
Realizing what had happened, he knew he had been tricked by Su Tong.
Many people were watching, each with a mysterious smile, their eyes fixed on Cheng Shan.
"Damn it!" Cheng Shan gritted his teeth in anger.
But he had no choice but to endure it for now.
After all, this was the Qian Yuan Business Association.
It was a business association with five peak-level Spiritual Void Realm experts.
"Su Tong, I never expected you to be so wicked!" Yi YuXin said, looking at Su Tong with a smile.
Although she said that, she felt quite comfortable.
"A Gathering Spirit Pellet is such a good thing that everyone wants. Even Master Yi wanted to purchase it, but Master Cheng has deep pockets, so we couldn't compete!" Su Tong shook his head and said.
He didn't bother to conceal his words, so even the nearby Yang E Sect could hear them.
Upon hearing this, Cheng Shan's face turned dark.
Especially the words "deep pockets," it was a direct slap in the face!
"Very well, since the first item has been auctioned off, let's move on to the second item. It is a yellow-grade spiritual treasure, crafted by Master Tong Yun, an eighth-grade alchemist hired by the Qian Yuan Business Association!" Yun Ran said, and a servant brought up another item.
The item was a spiritual treasure that appeared to be a longsword.
Su Tong, however, had no interest in it.
But many people were very interested.
"Crafted by Master Tong Yun?"
"A yellow-grade spiritual treasure?"
"I didn't expect the second item to be a yellow-grade spiritual treasure."
"I wonder what the price will be?"
At this point, many people started to discuss.
Yellow-grade spiritual treasures were rare and hard to come by.
"This yellow-grade spiritual treasure is called the Refining Heart Sword and comes with an exclusive spiritual technique called the One Mind Sword Technique, which is a fifth-grade spiritual technique. Although it only has one move, it is still formidable. The starting price is 1 million Hidden Spirit Pellets!" Yun Ran announced.
Upon hearing the price, many people fell silent.
Because it was a price they couldn't afford, they had no choice but to give up.
Su Tong, upon hearing the price, also clicked his tongue in amazement.
This yellow-grade spiritual treasure, along with that sword technique, was being sold for 1 million Hidden Spirit Pellets.
"Indeed, both alchemists and craftsmen earn a lot of money!" Su Tong couldn't help but exclaim.
Whether it was an alchemist, a craftsman, or even a formation master, they were all very rare professions.
Those who could become alchemists, craftsmen, or even formation masters were naturally exceptionally talented individuals.
And it was also a very profitable profession.
"One million one hundred thousand!" Just as Yun Ran finished speaking, a voice rang out.
There are many people willing to spend money to purchase this precious Huangpin Spirit Treasure.
"One million three hundred and thirty thousand!"
And the bidding is also very fast.
"One million five hundred thousand!"
Acquiring this Huangpin Spirit Treasure also allows one to obtain a matching Spirit Technique.
Such treasures are not very common.
According to Su Tong's speculation, these treasures are likely created by inviting a weapon refiner after obtaining the Spirit Technique.
"This Qian Yuan Business Association really knows how to make money!"
Su Tong said in a low voice.
Beside him, Yi Yuxin also looked at the Spirit Treasure in front with excitement and said, "I never expected that there would be a Huangpin Spirit Treasure in this auction."
"There wasn't one before?"
Su Tong was curious. The fact that it was placed as the second item in the auction indicated that it wasn't the best item of this auction.
Otherwise, it would definitely be the finale.
He had thought that there would be one in every auction.
But according to what Yi Yuxin said, it seemed not to be the case.
"Well, Huangpin Spirit Treasures are not available every year. Sometimes there are two in a year, but sometimes not even one appears."
Yi Yuxin explained to Su Tong.
Su Tong nodded, understanding why these people were bidding so high.
"Two million!"
Just then, a voice sounded.
It was Cheng Shan, who had been tricked by Su Tong before.
"Two million one hundred thousand!"
Yi Hao also directly raised the bid.
Once it surpassed two million, it was beyond what those small sects could afford.
Because they simply couldn't bear the cost.
"Two million three hundred thousand!"
At this moment, Ying Yueqing, who had not spoken among the Gathering Spirit Pellets, also made a bid.
Then she looked at Yi Hao and Cheng Shan, smiled slightly, and said, "Two esteemed sect masters, how about letting this Spirit Treasure be mine?"
"Hehe, I do like this Spirit Treasure. Two million five hundred thousand!"
Yi Hao chuckled and spoke.
"Two million eight hundred thousand!"
Cheng Shan clearly didn't want to give up on this Huangpin Spirit Treasure and directly made a bid.
"Three million!"
Hearing their words, Ying Yueqing gritted her teeth and raised the price to three million.
Three million Hidden Spirit Pellets was not a small amount.
"Three million one hundred thousand!"
Just when everyone thought that the Huangpin Spirit Treasure would fall into Ying Yueqing's hands, Cheng Shan raised the bid again.
"Three million three hundred thousand!"
Seeing Cheng Shan raise the bid, Yi Hao naturally wouldn't give up.
And now the price had already reached three million three hundred thousand.
Ying Yueqing hesitated for a moment, then spoke again, "Three million five hundred thousand!"
This was her final price.
After all, any higher would be far too much compared to the price of this Huangpin Spirit Treasure.
Yi Hao and Cheng Shan hesitated for a moment and both gave up.
They also understood that although this Huangpin Spirit Treasure was rare, raising the price any further would be too high.
"Three million five hundred thousand, is there anyone else bidding?"
Yun Ran smiled faintly, satisfied with this price.
Then she looked down and asked.
Seeing no one responding, this Huangpin Spirit Treasure fell into Ying Yueqing's hands.
Ying Yueqing looked at Yi Hao and Cheng Shan, grinding her teeth. These two old fellows had made her pay an extra five hundred thousand Hidden Spirit Pellets.
In the upcoming items, there are fourth-grade elixirs, top-grade spiritual treasures, and spiritual-level spirit techniques.
However, these things do not arouse the interest of the three major powers mentioned earlier.
It's only the other sects that are fiercely competing with their bids.
Su Tong, on the other hand, has no interest in this and has been watching silently without making any offers.
"The next item, compared to the previous yellow-grade spiritual treasure, is much more precious."
Yun Ran, who was on the platform, spoke slowly.
Upon hearing this, the people below became excited.
Su Tong, however, remained indifferent.
But when Yun Ran spoke again, he successfully captured Su Tong's attention.
"The next item we are going to auction is a fifth-grade formation map!"
Yun Ran said, and a maid had already brought up a scroll!
ive and Ruthless] Before his transmigration, Ye Xuan was playing a game called "Severing Emotions to Attain the Dao." The game's core wasn't about leveling up by fighting monsters, but about conquering various "bad women" with wicked personalities and cold, fickle natures. There was only one method to conquer them: stay unwaveringly by their side, then die at a critical moment, driving them to madness after losing the protagonist. The higher their level of regret, the higher the player's score. To dominate the server, Ye Xuan conquered all the bad women. In the early stages, he showered them with boundless tenderness, only to choose to sacrifice himself for them later, making them weep bitterly and drown in regret. Among them were: Xia Lengyue, the unfaithful immortal wife who chased after powerful men and discarded her husband like trash. Ye Qingcheng, the Demonic Venerable of the Joyous Union Sect, who appeared pure and innocent but was, in reality, promiscuous. Wu Lingxiao, the Empress of the Great Xia Dynasty, who lusted after men and loved maintaining a harem. Bai Qiangu of the Endless Demonic Sect: a bloodthirsty mass murderer. However, when the protagonist transmigrated into the game world, he made a horrifying discovery. Eight hundred years had already passed. The bad women he had conquered had now each become deities and revered ancestors. Faced with the endless stream of toxic women coming for him, Ye Xuan could only rely on his god-tier acting skills to carve a path of survival through this world of treacherous women.
ap a wealthy young lady? Or else I'll be eliminated by the system? Ye Feng, who awakened the Kidnapper System, originally wanted to live a peaceful life but never imagined he would become a kidnapper of young women. However, after some time, he discovered that all the girls the system ordered him to kidnap were far from ordinary. "Big brother Ye Feng~ You've kidnapped my heart, and now you're not allowed to leave me ever again~" "Ye Feng~ You kidnapped me back then, now it's my turn to capture you♡" "Little Feng, you're mine! You can only be mine!" "Ye Feng, none of them deserve you. Only I love you the most♡" ... This is madness, they've all gone mad! Wait, what? Why are all the girls I kidnapped yanderes?!
young master of the Shen family—a figure of immense power and wealth beyond measure—and awakened the "Destined Ultimate Villain System"! His starting scenario? Running into his icy fiancée who shows up with a mountain-descending divine doctor to break off their engagement. The divine doctor arrogantly taunts: "What does your Shen family have besides a bit of stinking money? You're not even worthy of tying Qingxue's shoelaces!" Shen Fei just smiled. He completely defied the usual script: "Fine, I agree to break off the engagement. Also, notify the finance department to withdraw all investments from the Su family." Minutes later, with its capital chain severed, the Su Group teetered on the brink of bankruptcy! The once aloof and proud ice queen CEO was thrown into utter panic. That very night, she went to Shen Fei's villa, casting aside all dignity to beg and plead desperately... From then on, in this world teeming with Sons of Destiny, Shen Fei embarked on a path of extreme dimensional suppression! A mountain-descending divine doctor? Peerless medical skills? Shen Fei: "Reporting you for practicing medicine without a license! I'll gladly take your ancient medicinal cauldron and twin sister assassins." The Crooked-Smiling Dragon King? Commanding a hundred thousand soldiers with a single order? Shen Fei: "Illegal assembly and suspected treason! Let a fleet of attack helicopters sanitize the area and teach you what the state apparatus really means!" A reborn tycoon? Knows all the golden opportunities of the next decade? Shen Fei: "A trillion in capital to reverse and pump the stock market, making you blow your margin and jump on the very first day of your rebirth!" What Chosen Ones? What bearers of Heavenly Fortune? In Shen Fei's eyes, they're all just chives (i.e., suckers/marks) waiting to be harvested! Shen Fei: "Sorry, but as the Destined Ultimate Villain, I don't play by the rules of honor. I only play the game of dimensional suppression."
lities. One day, Qi Yuan was buying groceries when he unfortunately came face-to-face with a monster. Just when he thought he was going to die on the spot, he suddenly heard the monster's thoughts... "This aura, he's definitely not an ordinary master!" "So terrifying, so terrifying." "A fight with my back against the wall, I can't take it anymore." Qi Yuan: Ah, no one told me that my awakened ability isn't telepathy, but rather the stronger my enemies imagine me to be, the stronger I truly become. PS: Zhou Hai in the first chapter is not the protagonist.
