Chapter 772 - Purple Soul Bells
Chapter 772: Purple Soul Bells
The treasures in the third segment all had a much higher quality than the items from the second segment, but their prices weren’t considered too high. Huangfu Taotian didn’t make any more bids and had been resting with his head lowered and eyes closed. The 13 Clans and the concealed influential figures on the top floor didn’t make any bid as well. They seemed to be reserving themselves for the finale items.
“Boss, why don’t all of you withdraw first? There will be more people later on, and we will attract attention easily. I will stay behind to settle the deal.”
Qian Wanguan finally regained his composure and spoke. Feng Luan and Qing Yu looked at each other and nodded lightly. The three paintings had already been sold for exaggerating prices, and Yi Piaopiao’s name was definitely going to be renowned throughout the Gods Bestow Tribe and would continue to spread to the East Imperial Continent after tonight. They had already witnessed everything that they hoped to see, and there was already no meaning to continue staying here.
They weren’t going to purchase any treasures, and if they waited until the end of the auction, they might easily attract the tracking from the great clans. At the very least, the Lu Clan would definitely find someone to track them as Jiang Yi had raised the prices on Lu Lin earlier.
“Ke-Ke!”
Jiang Yi waved his hand and said, “Even if we were to leave now, we will still be tracked down. There is no need to hurry… I want to see if I can contact Big Sister Bell and Huangfu Taotian!”
Huangfu Taotian mentioned that he was going to return Jiang Yi a hundred folds of the celestial stones that Jiang Yi gave to him. Naturally, Jiang Yi wasn’t going to ask for the celestial stones. Jiang Yi liked Huangfu Taotian’s personality and wanted to ask him for some favor.
This person might have betrayed the Huangfu Clan, but with such heaven-defying talents, how could the Huangfu Clan truly let him go? With Huangfu Taotian’s help, it would be easy for them to continue staying peacefully in Gods Bestow City. Young masters like Lu Lin were nothing to someone like Huangfu Taotian.
The four major clans on the Gods Bestow Island were much stronger than the other nine clans. Huangfu Taotian had heaven-defying talents, and he was already able to suppress the peak-stage Heaven Monarch, Qing Long, at such a young age. His future was going to be limitless, and if he was to help Jiang Yi—putting aside the Huangfu Clan, the other twelve clans would surely show some respect.
Jiang Yi clearly knew that he had offended Lu Lin earlier, and the Lu Clan definitely had someone spying on his pavilion from the dark. Once they exited from it, they would definitely track Jiang Yi and his group down. Jiang Yi understood hedonistic young masters like Lu Lin very well, and he knew that Lu Lin was surely going to take his revenge.
Since Jiang Yi had already decided, the others didn’t dare to say anything else.
The originally pleasant mood had turned apprehensive again. The Gods Bestow City must not be compared with the outside as there were too many experts in this place. Some old monsters had the strength that was close to the gods. If something was to happen, it was possible that Jiang Yi might not even have the chance to use the Heaven Evasion.
“Don’t worry, things aren’t that serious yet. Furthermore, the experts will not simply make a move. As long as they don’t activate the Nine Dragons’ God-Extinguishing Array, we can still escape this place easily!”
Jiang Yi smiled and consoled everyone before turning to look at the crystal ball. He was leisurely admiring the treasures in the auction, and he suddenly recalled something. “That’s right, we have 100 billion celestial stones now. If you all see anything you like, just auction for it, we aren’t lacking any money!”
When everyone saw how amused Jiang Yi was, they didn’t feel as bad anymore. Of course, they weren’t interested in the treasures of the auction as their strongest strength was Jiang Yi. Even if the others had suited up in a pseudo-divine artifact, they still wouldn’t be useful.
Rare treasures appeared one after the other. There were weapons, armors, and all sorts of treasure. There were even various treasures with special abilities that dazzled Jiang Yi and his group. The crowd below was gradually getting lively as the auction prices started to increase.
“Alright!”
After a few treasures were auctioned off, Situ Yinian’s expression turned serious as she said, “This auction has sold more than a hundred items and is at its end. This time, there are three items for the finale; and they are all valuable treasures. Everyone, better clear up your eyes.”
The entire crowd held their breaths as the highlight of the show had arrived. The quality of this auction was rather high, and what kind of sky-high price would the finale treasures be worth?
Ring! Ring!
With a wave of Situ Yinian’s hand, a beautiful young lady wore a string of purple bells and walked up to the stage. While walking, the bells were giving off clear sounds; and each time they jiggled, everyone would feel their soul spirits shaking slightly while their eyes got dazzled. Some formidable martial artists’ eyes were lit up with brilliance as this string of bells was actually a soul spirit attack treasure, and it was a pseudo-divine artifact.
Pseudo-divine artifacts were every valuable, but those with soul spirit attacks were even more valuable. Of course… this treasure was only compatible with someone who could utilize powerful soul spirit attacks to bring out the powerful combat strength. There were plenty of people who were good at soul spirit defense, but not everyone was proficient in soul spirit attacks.
“That’s right. I think many people have already guessed it!”
Situ Yinian personally took down the bells on the young lady’s neck and raised it up high. “This is a pseudo-divine artifact, and the name is Purple Soul Bells. This is a soul spirit attack pseudo-divine artifact! The base price is one billion, and every increment must at least be 100 million!”
“Bells?”
Jiang Yi was startled. Didn’t Big Sister Bell also had a string of bells on her neck? It was also because of the bells that gave her the nickname ‘Big Sister Bell’. However, he didn’t know if her string of bells was a pseudo-divine artifact.
“Two billion!”
A women’s voice echoed from the Nangong Clan’s pavilion from the third floor. Jiang Yi and the others all had bright eyes as they were very familiar with this voice. It was actually Big Sister Bell’s voice. It seemed like she liked bells very much, and the bells on her might not be a pseudo-divine artifact.
“2.1 billion!”
“2.3 billion!”
“…”
After Big Sister Bell placed her bid, there would constantly be others that made their bids as well. There were quite a number of people that knew how to use soul spirit attacks, and this item could help them increase their combat strength quite significantly.
“Three billion!” Big Sister Bell yelled out again as she sounded very determined and immediately increased the price by 400 million.
It was a pity that this treasure was too rare, and the price was drastically increasing. Feng Luan and the others were getting nervous as they had quite a good relationship with Big Sister Bell, and she was just like an elder sister to them. They naturally wanted Big Sister Bell to successfully buy this pseudo-divine artifact.
“Five billion!”
After the prices were raised to four billion, Big Sister Bell gritted her teeth and yelled out. It was obvious that this price was already at her limits.
“5.1 billion!”
A young lady’s gentle voice echoed from a pavilion on the third floor. Jiang Yi and the others heard the voice and frowned. They were also very familiar with this voice as it was the Lu Clan’s Young Lady Lu Yu. They didn’t expect her to like the bells as well. Perhaps she might also be cultivating the soul spirit.
The first floor was completely quiet as they were no longer able to afford such prices. They could only watch on as the great clans on the upper floors were competing and contesting against each other.
There was an aged voice that echoed quickly from a pavilion on the second floor. “5.5 billion!”
“Six billion!”
In the Nangong Clan’s pavilion, Big Sister Bell’s voice echoed again. This time, not only Jiang Yi, everyone present could hear the tremble in her voice. They knew that this price had already exceeded her capability.
Lu Yu’s voice sounded again shortly from the Lu Clan’s pavilion, and it sounded very relaxed. “Eight billion!”
The entire hall was in silence while the Nangong Clan’s pavilion no longer echoed with any voice, and the other pavilions were in silence. It wasn’t because they couldn’t afford the price, but hearing the tonality from Lu Yu’s voice, she sounded as though she could fork out a few more billion. The rest of the people didn’t dare to compete with the bid as they didn’t want to offend the Lu Clan as well.
“Young Lady Yu is beautiful like the fairy and will definitely look even more splendid when wearing this string of bells. Eight billion. Is there anyone else? If there isn’t, then this Purple Soul Bells will belong to Young Lady Yu.”
Situ Yinian waited for a moment, and when she saw that no one was making another bid, she asked and still, there was only silence. She let out a faint smile and said, “Three, two!”
“Ten billion!”
A neutral voice altered by the restriction echoed again. Countless eyes looked towards the source of the voice, and their eyes instantly lit up. No.555 pavilion had raised the price on Lu Lin during the first auction item. The person inside was raising the price again and seemed to be targeting the Lu Clan. Could he have a feud with the Lu Clan?
Lu Lin’s voice echoed quickly from the Lu Clan’s pavilion and was filled with anger, “Twelve billion!”
The entire hall was in an uproar. Was there going to be another show?
No.555 pavilion stayed silent for a moment and suddenly echoed with a gentle voice, that caused blew up the entire hall, “Twenty billion!”
