Chapter 276 - Once Bitten Twice Shy
Chapter 276: Once Bitten Twice Shy
“40,000.”
At this moment, everyone was still bidding. Moreover, Bai Luo participated from the start and raised the price.
However, when the price of 40,000 was called out, everyone in the hall stopped.
This was because the person who called out the price was Mu Ming, the Mu family’s patriarch.
It was within his expectations. This person had just spent a large amount of money to buy a martial arts book. Now that he had a corresponding weapon, how could he not buy it?
“45,000.”
Mu Ming had just suppressed the crowd and thought that he was going to keep the needle technique when Bai Luo’s voice rang out, cutting off Mu Ming’s thoughts.
“Bastard…” Mu Ming cursed angrily.
It was Bai Luo again. He had paid a huge price earlier because Bai Luo and Qin Yu had raised the price.
At the same time, he thought of something and looked towards the VIP room of the Purple Clouds Holy Land.
As expected, just as Mu Ming looked over, Qin Yu’s voice was heard as she calmly bid.
“50,000.”
In just a few seconds, the price had been raised from 40,000 to 50,000. The fury in Mu Ming’s heart could no longer be concealed.
“B*stard, it’s you guys again. Are you deliberately raising the price?” Mu Ming said angrily, his voice spreading throughout the entire auction hall.
“What are you shouting about? I’ve been bidding since the beginning. I didn’t even scold you for interfering,” Bai Luo said impatiently.
He was the first to bid, and everyone could see this.
“After all, he’s the Mu family’s patriarch. He’s so petty. Can’t he allow others to bid for what she wants?”
After Bai Luo said that, he immediately stood up and raised the bid again, “60,000 middle-grade spirit stones.”
“Cough cough, senior Mu Ming, please have some self-respect. This is the Lin family’s auction house, not your mu family’s.”
Lin Mo coughed dryly and said while holding back his laughter.
This Bai Luo was really smooth when it came to scamming people. It seemed that he had done this many times in the past…
“Fellow Daoist Mu Ming, this isn’t right. I’ve already given you all the martial arts that I’ve taken a fancy to. Give me this weapon.”Qin Yu’s voice sounded dissatisfied.
“65,000.”Qin Yu also wanted the blazing fire god’s needle.
“70,000.”Mu Ming continuously hit a wall and angrily increased the price.
“80,000.” Bai Luo didn’t give up and even increased the price.
“85,000…”Qin Yu hesitated and said.
“90,000.”Bai Luo said again. The price was getting more and more ridiculous. It had long surpassed the original value of the blazing fire divine needle.
“100,000. This blazing fire divine needle will definitely be mine today.”
Mu Ming said angrily and raised the price to 100,000. This kind of heroic spirit made everyone present admire him.
“Senior Mu Ming is indeed heroic. I bid 100,000. Anyone Else?”Lin Mo spoke at the right time.
The price of 100,000 was about right. The starting price was only 20,000. This had already increased by five times.
If he continued to raise the price, Mu Ming would probably be anxious.
“Let’s call it a day. It’s about time…”
Lin Mo transmitted his voice to Bai Luo. At the same time, he turned his gaze towards the VIP room of the Purple Clouds Holy Land.
However, he was unable to transmit his voice to Bai Luo. The VIP room was well protected, and the materials used to construct it were able to isolate a large portion of the soul energy.
If he were to forcefully break in, he would be discovered. If this matter were to be exposed, his reputation as an auction house would be ruined…
Previously, there was a map outside the ancient flame ruins to save the situation, but now, there wasn’t any…
“There’s no need for you to remind me.”Bai Luo laughed lightly. Then, she recalled something and said, “Remember to give me half of the Spirit Stones.”
“100,000 middle-grade spirit stones for the second time. Is there anyone else who wants to bid?”
Lin Mo dropped the hammer for the second time. He looked at Bai Luo and then at Qin Yu.
Seeing that the two of them didn’t say anything, Lin Mo didn’t hesitate either. He immediately dropped the hammer for the third time and announced Mu Ming’s victory.
“Alright, congratulations to Senior Mu Ming for buying the spirit-grade tier 1 divine needle of raging fire at the price of 100,000 middle-grade spirit stones.”
With his goal achieved, Lin Mo’s face was filled with a smile, and he almost burst out laughing.
His words also caused Mu Ming’s expression to turn ugly.
It wasn’t until Lin Mo dropped his hammer that he finally understood that he had been scammed. Furthermore, he had been scammed by Bai Luo and Qin Yu’s combined efforts.
The surrounding crowd gradually understood as well, and some of them immediately burst out laughing.
Having fallen for the same ploy twice, this Mu Ming was truly miserable.
[Congratulations, host, for successfully auctioning the spirit rank 1 weapon, the blazing fire God’s needle]
[Triggered 3,000 times the auction profit]
[Obtained the spirit rank 2 needle weapon, the yin pole needle]
“Alright, the next item up for auction is the tier 2 spirit-grade weapon, the yin pole needle.”
Lin Mo smiled and took out the yin pole needle from the system’s storage and presented it to everyone.
“What?”
Everyone was shocked and couldn’t believe it. Two needle-type weapons were being auctioned consecutively. Was the Lin clan’s auction house that rich?
Perhaps the in Mo had obtained a lot of benefits from the ancient flame ruins?
No matter what, everyone’s attention had been attracted to it.
“Spirit rank 2 yin pole needle, starting bid 30,000 mid-grade spirit stones.”
“31,000.”
“32,000.”
“35,000.”
The shouts continued to reverberate, and everyone was discussing. Only the Mu family’s Vip Room was silent.
Everyone from the Mu family did not dare to speak, because the killing intent in Mu Ming’s eyes had already spread.
If it weren’t for the fact that he still had a shred of rationality left, he would have long gone on a killing spree.
At this moment, not only did he feel that the mysterious person and Qin Yu were tricking him, even Lin Mo was tricking him as well.
“Lin Mo, sooner or later, I will tear you into pieces…”
Mu Ming roared furiously. Although the fourth Prince had given him a lot of money, anyone would be enraged if they were toyed with like this.
“Forty-five thousand.”
At this moment, Qin Yu spoke again. He offered forty thousand to shake off some people.
“Fifty thousand.”
However, a weapon of the second level of the spirit realm had caught the imperial family’s attention. As soon as elder Mo spoke, he was not willing to let it go.
“Fifty-five thousand.”
Since Old Mo had spoken, the people of Great Yan Divine Empire would not let it go. Thus, when he spoke this time, he looked like he was going to argue with them.
“Fifty-seven thousand.”
Qin Yu frowned. Although Lin Mo had given her a chance, if she wanted to take it down, she would have to pay a little price…
“I don’t care anymore. I must take have this yin pole needle.”Qin Yu made up her mind.
Not only this yin pole needle, but also the needle-type martial arts that were about to appear. He could not miss this opportunity.
“Sixty thousand.”
“Sixty-three thousand.”
“Sixty-five thousand.”
Qin Yu kept chasing after him. The people of Great Yan dynasty were also competing with elder Mo, increasing the price continuously.
In the end, perhaps because of Qin Yu’s insistence, Elder Mo did not increase the price anymore and kept silent.
Seeing Elder Mo keep silent, the people of Great Yan Divine Empire kept silent as well.
This yin pole needle was bought by Qin Yu at the price of seventy thousand middle-grade energy stones.
Upon seeing this scene, the anger that Mu Ming had just suppressed exploded once again.
Looking at Bai Luo in the hall, his killing intent surged.
“Bastard, you two are indeed in cahoots. I will never forgive you.”
Unfortunately, no matter how angry he was, it was useless at this moment. And now, he did not dare to make a move…
“Alright, the next item up for auction is a spirit-grade tier 2 needlework martial art.”
As Lin Mo introduced it, Mu Ming could no longer suppress his anger.
