Chapter 240 Earth Grade Physique?
Although there was no beginning price, the merchandise started off with a bid of 100 Low-Level Spirit Stones and increased to 500 Low-Level Spirit Stones in a mere second.
And in the span of a few more seconds, the bid increased to 4000 Low-Level Spirit Stones.
After that, people quieted down and only those who possessed enough capital opened their mouths to bid.
Kara Moonridge who was being bid on was enraged. She was crying but didn't make a sound as her eyes pointed daggers at everyone.
When had she, a princess, received this kind of humiliation? Even though tears kept sliding down her face, she didn't look away one bit, as if trying to hold on to her sanity.
But her figure and expression only incited even more people to bid on her.
A few minutes later, the bid reached 26,000 Low-Level Spirit Stones causing over 90% of the men to be hesitant to bid.
*Ding!*
A sound echoed around the auction hall prompting the newcomers' faces to turn while the old-timers turned ugly.
The old-timers who were seated at the surface and balconies now knew that they have no chance to bid anymore unless they have enough capital.
When the newcomers looked at the source of the sound, they saw the VIP room numbered 20 lit up with a series of number, "50,000"
The auctioneer grinned at pointed at the VIP room, "The VIP from the 20th room bids 50,000 Low-Level Spirit Stones!"
"Isn't there anyone to top that price???" The auctioneer riled up and said.
A few moments later, seeing that no one on the surface and the balconies bid, he grinned and turned his head to gaze at the VIP floor.
"Did I forget to mention that this princess over here is pure and noble? If so, I apologize..."
He smirked, "Now, everyone might be wondering why she was put up here for our first merchandise. It isn't simply because she is a princess or a beauty because this still doesn't warrant for her to be sold first in the first day..."
"Then what is the reason you wonder? Not only is she pure but she is also found to possess a Mid-Level Earth Grade Physique, the Exquisite Nine Yin Body!"
"Woahhhh!!" The audience clamored with a huge noise as their faces flushed red.
"If one were to dual cultivate with her, well... I don't even need to mention, right?" The auctioneer grinned smugly.
Instantly, lights lit up and numerous sounds echoed around the auction hall continuously.
The quiet VIP floor displayed their wealth in an instant.
The auctioneer with an excited face pointed at the VIP rooms as he spoke, "VIP room 24, 300,000 Low-Level Spirit Stones!"
"VIP room 42, 320,000 Low-Level Spirit Stones!"
"VIP room 22, 350,000 Low-Level Spirit Stones!"
"VIP room 02, 400,000 Low-Level Spirit Stones!"
The auctioneer didn't bother to announce some lower bids which lit up at the same time.
In a few seconds, the bid shot up to 400,000 Low-Level Spirit Stones!
A few minutes later, the clamor quieted down and only a few VIP rooms were bidding.
The bid gradually settled around 500,000 Low-Level Spirit Stones while only two or three people kept bidding for it.
"VIP room 36, 530,000 Low-Level Spirit Stones!"
After that, the auction house quieted down as only silence remained.
The auctioneer knew that he had reached the peak possible sale with this product, so he directly asked, "Is there no one else willing to bid?"
Seeing that there was no reply, he uttered, "Alright then, the person in VIP room 36 offered 530,000 Low-Level Spirit Stones!"
"Going once!"
The auctioneer looked left and right before opening his mouth again, "Going twice!"
The auctioneer took a deep look before finally opening his mouth.
*Ding!*
The auctioneer's eyes lit up instantly as he promptly announced, "VIP room 20 offers 600,000 Low-Level Spirit Stones!!!"
Davis only had a single comment running in his mind, 'Woah, the bidder must be either desperate or smitten with her, no?'
He had considered saving her but when the price skyrocketed after hearing that she had a Mid-Level Earth Grade Dual Cultivating Physique, he was dumbfounded.
Even though he had the necessary capital to bid, he decisively chose to not interfere in the bidding process since he was afraid that he would not be able to hold himself back. Also, the cost was too great.
He had obtained an Earth Grade Dual Cultivating Manual before, and now it was like the heavens were tempting him with a woman who was born with a Dual Cultivation Physique.
He was truly afraid that after saving or purchasing her to be precise, he would betray Evelynn in a moment of temptation, maybe even tenderness or seduction.
After all, he was quite pent up considering that he had read the Dual Cultivation Manual and was eager to try it out with Evelynn as soon as possible.
After a few seconds of silence and seeing that were no more bids, the auctioneer decided to finish, "Going once!"
"Going twice!"
"Going thrice!!! Congratulations to the person in VIP room 20 for obtaining the ex-princess!"
"As always, the merchandise will only be exchanged on the last day, so I kindly ask the winner of the bid to wait till the end of the underground auction."
Some people laughed and booed, feeling good but they didn't dare to go too far.
Not only Davis but the others also thought the person inside VIP room 20 must've had a blue balls syndrome by now.
They all naturally assumed that the bidder was a man since the bid was on a woman.
After the big cage was taken away, this time they brought an even more big cage by carrying on to the stage.
Again, there were a lot of women with beautiful figures but they were utterly naked without even having a piece of cloth to cover themselves.
They tried to desperately hide their figures with their hands but that just aroused the audience even more into the bidding.
The auctioneer announced that they were virgins and noblewomen belonging to the fallen Moonridge Kingdom.
At the end of the bidding process, many were dissatisfied since the winner was that damned person from VIP room 20.
That person got all twenty of them for a price of 70,000 Low-Level Spirit Stones.
