Chapter 5932
5932 Intense competition
Lin Yi sat up straight. He didn’t think that the spirit gathering branch would appear so suddenly. He was completely unprepared. He thought that the soul raising tree and the spirit gathering branch would appear on the last day, but his biggest target appeared on the second day!
A Jade-like branch appeared in the crystal cover on the auction stage. It was about 30 centimeters long, and there were not many branches, nor were they long. The entire God-gathering branch had a faint brilliance flowing over it. One look and one could tell that it was not an ordinary item.
Lin Yi took a deep breath. He had to get the spirit gathering branch no matter what!
There was no need for Huang Wen Jing to elaborate on the use of the concentration branch as it was already one of the main auction items. The details of it had already been made public, so there was no need to waste time on it.
Therefore, Huang Wen Jing announced with a smile,””The starting price for the soul-gathering branch is twenty million spiritual jade pieces. Each bid must be no less than one million spiritual jade pieces. The bidding starts now!”
Wei shenjin was the first to bid for Lin Yi,”Twenty-one million spirit Jade!”
This was just a test to see how many people would participate in the competition.
Soon, four to five bids appeared almost at the same time, and the price was pushed to more than 30 million.
Wei shenjin received Lin Yi’s instructions and immediately raised the bid to fifty million!
The rest of the bids were slightly sluggish. After all, a one-time increase of nearly twenty million spirit Jade was still quite shocking.
More importantly, everyone seemed to have seen the intense battle from yesterday again. If it was as expected, the fourth or sixth box should be making a move!
As expected, room four, who lived up to everyone’s expectations, made a move. Fifty-one million spiritual Jade!
Lin Yi’s face darkened-it wasn’t that they weren’t targeting him anymore, but they knew that he was aiming for the spirit gathering branch and were waiting for him here!
In order to confirm, Lin Yi asked Wei shenjin to bid sixty million spirit Jade, and room four immediately raised it to sixty-one million!
This way of increasing the price was clearly telling Lin Yi that trouble was coming!
“A hundred million spiritual jades!” Lin Yi told Wei shenjin to continue bidding. If Qian Xiaodong wanted to cause trouble, he could do so. The price of the branch hadn’t reached its peak yet, and there were still many people competing for it. He’d clear the others first before dealing with Qian Xiaodong.
Such a large increase in the bid had indeed scared off many people, and the number of competitors had suddenly decreased significantly.
Qian Xiaodong, who was in the fourth private room, laughed and said,””Lin Yi’s getting anxious! You think you can scare me off by adding a few tens of millions of spirit Jade? you’re too naive!”
Yu Ziqing, who was at the side, first raised the bid by one million, then said with a smile, “Let’s play with him slowly first and see how long he can last. I really want to see what kind of expression he will have when he doesn’t have the spiritual Jade. It must be very interesting, right?”
After Wei shenjin’s bid of 150 million, Room 8 suddenly made a bid as well, and it was raised to 200 million spiritual Jade all of a sudden. This time, Qian dongkong was depressed.
“Who’s in Room 8? Why are you suddenly interfering?” Qian Dongdong was already prepared to bid 151 million, so it didn’t feel good to be interrupted.
If it wasn’t for the restriction on the northernmost Island that prevented people from disturbing the distinguished guests in the box, Qian Xiaodong would have sent uncle li to greet the people in the eighth box!
Yu Ziqing raised his hand to pull Qian Xiaodong back and said, “Let’s just wait and see. As long as it’s not Lin Yi who got it, it’s the same no matter who it is. ”
Qian Xiaodong thought about it and agreed. He wasn’t interested in the soul-gathering branch to begin with, but since someone had come out to mess things up, he was happy to watch the show from the side.
Huang Wen Jing quickly replied with a smile,”Box eight has bid 200 million spirit Jade. The spirit gathering branch is indeed a top-grade treasure. However, it’s not surprising. This is not a one-time pill like the spirit tempering pill. It can be used repeatedly, so it’s only right that everyone values it. Two hundred million spirit Jade going once!”
“Two hundred and five million spirit Jade! This was the bid from Room 11! A new bid has appeared …”
Lin Yi frowned. He didn’t think that the higher the price, the more people would come out to compete. This was troublesome!
Qian Xiaodong didn’t continue bidding. It seemed that as long as the fifth private room didn’t move, his side wouldn’t make a move. The day he spent in the hall was not in vain.
“Two hundred and ten million spirit Jade! The friend from Room 12 has bid 210 million spirit Jade …”
Lin Yi didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. Did Cai Zhongyang want him to help him bid for the spirit gathering branch? Although he was touched, he reckoned that this would only cause more trouble …
As expected, when Qian Xiaodong saw room 12 make a move, he immediately added a million spiritual Jade. Anyone else could get it, but Lin Yi and his friends couldn ‘t. So this time, everyone close to Lin Yi, including Cai Zhongyang, was targeted.
Lin Yi immediately informed Wei shenjin to go to Cai Zhongyang’s side and tell them not to interfere with the auction.
Box eight and box eleven each raised the bid once more, but the range was not large. It was obvious that at this price, they had become cautious.
As long as room five and the people related to Lin Yi didn’t make a move, Qian Xiaodong and the others wouldn’t come out to mess things up. It was only the two new rooms that were competing.
The price went up a few times at the rate of one million each time, and it reached two hundred and twenty million. Cai Zhongyang didn’t bid anymore, probably because he got Wei shenjin’s notice. Lin Yi didn’t wait any longer and directly called for two hundred and sixty million!
After the new bid was shown on the projection array, Huang Wen Jing was slightly stunned. However, her professionalism made her snap out of her daze and she announced with a little excitement,””No. 1233 has bid 260 million spiritual Jade. Is there anyone else who wants the soul-gathering branch? please consider it as soon as possible!”
The hall was immediately in an uproar. The number 1233 was obviously for the seat in the middle of the hall. No one had expected such a rich guy to be hiding below. Two hundred and sixty million spiritual Jade was the highest bid since the auction began. The previous record was set by the storage ring that was sold at the first auction yesterday.
Unfortunately, the number plates in the hall were all scattered, and the seats were not arranged in order, so no one knew who number 1233 was.
A one-time increase of 40 million spirit Jade was indeed a little too much. That was why the previous two private rooms did not make a new bid immediately.
The sound amplification array in Room 11 was suddenly opened, and someone inside said,””Friend of No. 1233, no matter who you are, please give me some face. I am Zheng dongjue, the Deputy Hall Master of the Nakajima pill Hall. This spirit-gathering branch is what our pill Hall’s chief Alchemist, Master Li Zao, wants. I think the friendship of the pill Hall will be more valuable than a mere item!”
