As expected, the Yijing Jin caused a new round of crazy bidding.
"60 thousand gold!"
……
"150 thousand gold!"
……
"250 thousand gold!"
……
"300 thousand gold!"
Ten minutes, in just ten minutes, the price skyrocketed to three hundred thousand gold.
The base price that Gaia set completely lacked value as a reference point. Instead, the players used the previous two bidding prices as a gauge.
"400 thousand gold!"
Lin Jing finally made her bid. It was the price that the Taia Sword went for, reaching the first mark.
The entire auction house stopped.
A short while later, a greater eagerness and excitement broke out.
400 thousand gold was not enough to scare them off.
There was only a total of ten items a year during the yearly auction.
One could be considered extremely lucky if they grabbed even one item.
Hence, as long as one had prepared some gold, they were not ready to miss any chances.
"420 thousand gold!"
"450 thousand gold!"
The bids the players called out continued to rise without any intentions of stopping.
A serious expression finally appeared on Lin Jing's face.
She had not expected the Yijing Jin to actually cause such a crazy reaction.
Everyone present acted like they were utterly crazy.
Some even wondered if Gaia had placed all the good items at the front.
Everyone was filled with excitement and interest.
"600 thousand gold!"
The second time Lin Jing threw out a bid, it was the price that the talisman was sold for.
She also wanted to use such a strategy to force out the lucky survivors. At the same time, she wanted to tell her opponents that she badly wanted the Yijing Jin.
As expected, after she made this bid, all the players became extremely careful.
600 thousand was not an easily acquirable sum, even to a big guild. Furthermore, they were bidding for an internal cultivation technique that only one person could use.
No one could not truly spend the guild funds as they wished.
The 600 thousand gold that she had bid already approached the limit of the funds that she could use.
Last year, she had spent a huge amount of gold to obtain the Qixing Longyuan, which caused some unhappiness in the guild. Luckily, Ouyang Shuo had opened up Yashan City, allowing Lin Jing to help remove such negative effects through a series of good guild decisions.
Everyone was looking on, focusing on whether or not the auction record would be broken once more.
Outside of the auction house, they were broadcasting the auction in real time.
When Lin Jing bid the sky high price of six hundred thousand, the people on the entire street felt their blood boil. Their cheers mixed with one another and combined like a huge wave.
Toward these normal people who had set up stalls, six hundred thousand was a sky high price.
They were all witnessing a myth of riches and wealth.
"650 thousand!"
Myths were meant to be broken.
The one that bid was Chun Shenjun, who had obtained the Scattering Bean That Turns into Soldier Talisman.
This move surprised everyone.
Even Ouyang Shuo could not help but turn his eyes toward the 2nd suite.
It seems like this time, Chun Shenjun's family was determined to go all in on the game.
"700 thousand gold!"
Before the wave died down, another rose up.
Just as Chun Shenjun made his bid, a third person broke it.
Moreover, the bidder had risen the price by a full fifty thousand gold!
The Yijing Jin possessed a greater charm and temptation than expected.
The new bidder was also a member of the Yanhuang Alliance, Feng Qingyang.
This matter did not surprise anyone.
Feng Qingyang was a famous martial idiot. In fact, him giving up on the Taia Sword had already shocked everyone.
However, he obviously had no intentions of giving up on the Yijing Jin.
After all, his family's internal cultivation technique could not compare to this.
Most importantly, he had found out that the Yijing Jin had a hidden specialty; it could greatly raise the bone structure stat of players.
Since Feng Qingyang solely focused on martial arts, there was nothing more important to him than the Yijing Jin.
As such, he had given up on the race for the Taia Sword.
Of course, this was in part because the Taia Sword did not fit with his sword technique. Out of the ten swords, he mainly cared about the tenth sword, the Chengying Sword.
The Chengying Sword was the formless sword; it was the most mysterious and unpredictable sword.
……
When they saw the price of the Yijing Jin rise to seven hundred thousand all of a sudden, Lin Jing and Xie Siyun exchanged glances and gave each other a pained smile, giving up on this race.
Lin Jing was not a foolish person.
Although they could take out seven hundred thousand gold without too much difficulty, it was not worth it.
Furthermore, it was not the most suitable technique for Lin Jing, so she did not need to go all in to purchase it.
On the other hand, Chun Shenjun's expression made one feel many thoughts.
If someone else had bid for this item, Chun Shenjun would have raised the price without hesitation.
However, it was Feng Qingyang this time.
Feng Qingyang could be considered one of his closest allies in the Yanhuang Alliance.
The only problem was that Chun Shenjun also craved the Yijing Jin.
Of course, the martial way was not his goal.
He wanted to use this internal technique to strengthen his body. Moreover, since he had so much funds, it was hard for him to really give up on it.
Everyone was waiting for Chun Shenjun to bid once more.
Chun Shenjun was not the only person that had not given up on this item.
The others were just looking at the battle between the two before deciding when to act.
However, the auctioneer had started the count down.
"700 thousand going once!"
Chun Shenjun did not react; his expression was extremely difficult to read.
"700 thousand going twice!"
Chun Shenjun raised his head and looked at Feng Qingyang, as he opened his mouth.
The eyes of everyone focused on the 2nd suite.
From his expression, it looked like he was about to make his move.
The other players all rubbed their palms together, preparing for the final battle.
"700 thousand gold, thrice!"
At this very moment, the auctioneer slammed the hammer.
Unexpectedly, Chun Shenjun did not make a bid, directly giving up on the race.
The whole field was shocked.
Some people reacted and realized that Chun Shenjun had played them as fools.
When the auctioneer called the bid once, Chun Shenjun had probably hesitated.
But at the second call, he decided to give up and give Feng Qingyang a beautiful assist. It allowed Feng Qingyang to obtain the Yijing Jin at a minimized price.
At this current moment, everyone felt extremely frustrated.
Unfortunately, the dust had settled.
One could only say that they were too greedy.
On the other hand, Feng Qingyang looked toward Chun Shenjun with a bright and wide smile.
